An Incompetent Explorer Who Failed to Make His High School Debut but Mastered Being a Human Being - CH 158
Episode 158: Enemy encounter
“Onii-chan!!”
“Nanami!! What’s with that outfit!?”
Nanami and the others run up to me when I go outside the spa.
However, their appearance is outrageous.
It’s just a single bath towel.
Everyone is wearing just a bath towel, so it’s hard to know where to look.
It would be bad if other people saw them like that!!
“I didn’t have time, so I just came like this!!”
“Even so, you shouldn’t go out dressed like that!!”
“It’s okay!! We don’t have time right now!?”
“Mmm. It can’t be helped. Do you understand the situation?”
Nanami objects to me scolding her.
Haa … it’s true that we don’t have much time, so I’ll let it go this time.
“Eeh, I know!! A lot of monsters are coming this way from the sea, right?”
The one who answers my question is Amane.
“Aah. I feel quite a lot of signs.”
“What should we do?”
After I answer Amane’s question, she asks me about my future plans again.
I want to limit the damage to the city as much as possible. However, during this time, quite a few monsters have arrived on land. There is no time to spare.
“Rei, what should we do in this situation?”
As a result of worrying, I ask Rei, who is probably the most accustomed to this kind of situation.
After all, I think it would be best to ask Rei, who is older and has a lot of experience, about this kind of thing.
“Well, ‘normally’ I would contact the Explorers’ Union that manages this area and wait for rescue.”
You never know when help will come. By then the monsters will steadily enter the town and the damage will increase.
“Then it’s too late. I don’t know what kind of monsters they are, but from what I can see, it’s not that different from the previous Shushima Dungeon. Then, before rescue arrives, let’s go clean it up.”
“Haa … I thought you would say that. I’ll contact the branch.”
Rei takes out her mobile phone with a face that is like dealing with a troublesome younger brother.
“Leave it to me. Let’s go, everyone!!”
“”Yeah ~ !!””
We head to the scene without making any detours.
“As for this, there’s no time to waste.”
When we arrive at the scene, I mutter after seeing the scene. The scene is a seaside full of monsters running around.
If all these monsters enter a town full of ordinary people, there would be no end to it.
“It seems to. I contacted them just in case, but it looks like it will take 10 minutes for rescue to arrive.”
10 minutes, huh. It takes quite a while.
I hope they will do something about the town.
We’ll stop this.
“Understood. Let’s all do it, Change!!”
With my instructions, we all change our equipment with the Exchange Rings.
Everyone’s clothes also change from bath towels to battle gear.
“For now, let’s limit the directions they can go. Nanami!!”
“Yeah, leave it to me!! Let’s go!! ~~ Ice Valley!!”
As expected of my Imouto. She instantly understood what I wanted her to do and after chanting for several tens of seconds, she chanted the spell’s name.
A gigantic wall of ice forms in the shape of a figure eight separating the sea and the land. With this, the monsters that come ashore from now on should have no choice but to come towards us.
However, it was not possible to prevent all monsters from entering the town. Some had entered the city before the ice wall was formed.
Nevertheless, Nanami’s magic is powerful enough to make me fall in love with her even though she’s my Imouto.
“It really is outrageous magic …”
“Really …”
“Hey, don’t just stand around, let’s go!!”
The two of them are dumbfounded when they see Nanami’s magic, so I call out to Shia and Nanami and start running.
“Ah, wait!!”
“I, I understand!!”
When I call out to them, the two of them start chasing after us.
“Is that … a fishman?”
The ones who started coming up to land were macho men with a fishy face and an absurdly muscular build.(TN:Macho reverse-mermaids, eww.)
It reminds me of a manga in which ‘G’, which I hate, has become human-like and has grown to the size of humans.(TN:’G’ is gokiburi aka cockroaches.)
Those things should be exterminated!!
“That’s a Macho Merman. It’s the strength of the previous Shushima Dungeon’s monster class.”(TN:Rei learned that Fuhito’s brain won’t process proper ranks, so just tell him in terms he can understand.)
Rei catches up and explains beside me.
The previous Shushima Dungeon class. In other words, it’s equivalent to an E-rank monster.
“Then, they’re not our opponent!!”
“Hmm!! Experience!!”
“That’s right!!”
Shia and Nanami raise their voices as if agreeing with my voice.
“Well, you guys should be fine.”
“Indeed.”
For some reason, the two of them are amazed at our enthusiasm.
“Let’s go!!”
“”Okay!!””
Looking at the two of them like that, we charge the Macho Mermen. The other two will come later.
“Sei!!”
“Fuu!!”
“Haaa!!”
“Yaa!!”
“Gravity Strike!!”
We all launch our attacks.
-Papapapapapapapapapapapapaaan!!
-Supapapapapapapapapapapapaaan!!
-Papapapapapapapapapapapapaaan!!
-Supapapapapapapapapapapapaaan!!
-Dooooooooooooooooooooooooooon!!
While the attacks of the physical attack group delete from tens to nearly 100 at once, Nanami’s attack deletes hundreds at once. Of course, there is some loss in magic alone, but I know how many attacks I can hit during that time.
Have you completely surpassed me …
As I gaze at Nanami’s magic attacks, I am overcome with emotion as I proceed to dispose of the monsters that are springing up from the sea one after another.
