An Incompetent Explorer Who Failed to Make His High School Debut but Mastered Being a Human Being - CH 148

Episode 148: Oh, how are the girls …?

When I get out of the bath, I walk towards my room while wiping my head.

Then, ‘Zorozoro’ the women come out of the room on the left side of the direction I’m going.

“Oh, were you playing in Nanami’s room?’

“Uh, yeah, well.”

“Eh, yeah, just for a minute.”

“Hmm.”

Shia is the same as usual, but the other two are somewhat unarticulate in response to my question.

“Ah, Onii-chan!!”

“Nanami, is something wrong?”

At that moment, Nanami pops out of her room, so I ask about Amane and Rei, who seem to have a strange atmosphere.

Nanami might know something.

“It can’t be helped, huh ~ ?”

“Yeah, it can’t be helped, hahahaa.”

“Oh yeah. It was a lot of fun. Fufufuu.”

When I ask Nanami about the two of them, they both answer with radiant smiles.

They both seem to get along well with Nanami. Thank you.

“I see. Thank you for playing with Nanami.”

“No, no, it’s totally fine!!”

“Yup, yeah, we had fun too.”

When I express my gratitude, Amane and Rei look at each other and answer with a smile.

It’s great that the two of them seem to be getting along better than before.

“What are you going to do? Are you going to bed already?”

“Oh, Onii-chan. Let’s play a game with five people this time. We haven’t all played together.”

“It might be okay. It’s not good to be too late, but let’s do it.”

When I ask everyone, Nanami answers on behalf of everyone.

Certainly, until just now, there was always someone missing. Now that everyone is all together, it might be a different kind of fun if we do that.

In that case, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to try.

“Yes!!”

“Is that okay with everyone?”

Nanami replies happily, so I check with everyone else.

“Hmm.”

“I’m fine too.”

“As for me, umm …”

Shia and Amane answer right away, but Rei is a bit inarticulate.

I think it’s probably because of the embarrassment of exposing her changed personality and the feeling of wanting to do something crazy.

“You want to do it.”

“Uh … well … yes.”

When I affirm Rei’s feelings, she blushes embarrassedly and covers her mouth with her hand as she replies.

Rei is usually cool, but her facial expressions and gestures make her look more like a normal girl and cute.

“Rei is beautiful and mature, but she has a cute side too.”

” ~~ !? I, is that so?”

When I mutter what I was thinking, Rei turns away with a red face.

“Oh, I’m sorry. I apologize if I offended you.”

“N, no, I don’t mind. Let’s play the game quickly.”

Thinking that I had angered her, I bow my head and she turns her head away and quickly walks away to the living room.

I may have made her angry.

“I told you, flirting is prohibited!”

“No, that’s why I said I’m not doing that.”

Nanami points her index finger at me, but I don’t understand and deny it.

I just made her angry. I didn’t flirt even once.

“Yes, yes, that’s fine, so let’s go play a game!!”

“A, aah, that’s right.”

Pushed by Amane, we also head to the living room.

Rei, who had already made preparations for the game, was there.

“Come on! Let’s do it quickly!! I’ll make everyone kneel down before me!!”

Her personality has already changed. We played another party game with all five of us this time. Rei was heated and her personality changed, but I think she was generally able to enjoy herself.

“Ehehe, Onii-chan ~ .”

“Nanami is really a helpless Imouto.”

Even though our house is quite large, we don’t have a guest room for three people other than our family, so Nanami and I will sleep together, two sleep in Nanami’s room, and the last one in the guest room.

As expected, Nanami hugs me and wants to be spoiled by me, so I caress her. It’s already under control, so nothing strange happens this time.

“How was your day?’

“Yeah, it was fun using magic.”

When I ask Nanami about leveling up in the dungeon today, she answers with a happy voice.

It was Nanami’s first time exploring since the stray dungeon, and she was actively using magic to defeat enemies for the first time, so I was worried, but it seems that my worries were unfounded.

“I see. Let’s do our best from tomorrow, shall we?”

“Yeah, got it. I’ll be counting on you, Onii-chan.”

“Leave it to me.”

After we finish some light talk, we gradually lose consciousness.

“Then, shall we raise our levels today as well?”

“Hmm.”

“Yes.”

“Got it.”

“Let’s go.”

The next day, we worked hard at leveling up in the Shushima Dungeon.
