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

Episode 138: Amane's ass and unreasonable demands

"Looks like everyone's gathered."

 That's what Saotome-senpai said.

 The head of the Dungeon Exploration Club, he is now looking down on us from above the stage in a room that looks like a gymnasium. There are about 120 explorers belonging to this school, from the first year to the third year. Now they are all together in one place.

"Just as you heard from the homeroom teacher, we will just focus on strengthening our combat power. Dive into the dungeons you think are appropriate and earnestly raise your level. There is no specific quota, but it is obligatory to dive into the dungeon for at least eight hours a day, five days a week. Dungeon entry and exit will be recorded, so be careful. For the time being, one week from today is the transition period, so you are exempt from obligations, so if you have anything you want to get done during that time, do it."

 I see.

 From now on, we will be able to dive into the dungeon during the daytime due to the government order. At least eight hours. It may be unscrupulous, but isn't this the best?

 I have more time to raise my proficiencies, and Shia has more time to raise her level.

 Until now, we had school and stayed overnight only on Fridays, but that means we can just keep diving. I'm suddenly looking forward to this. We've been through a Stampede several times, and I think we'll be fine with the low-rank dungeon Stampedes. At least D-rank should be fine.

 However, I need to do something about entry/exit records.

 I'll ask Luck, the personification of convenience, if it can do something about it.

"Also, if the number of people in the party is six or less, there is a possibility that the Union will instruct us to increase the number of people. Please be warned in advance."

 Eh, seriously.

 Certainly, the party system is up to 6 people in one party. Considering that up to six people can benefit from experience points, it would be best to have six people, but I have a lot of secrets, so I don't want to increase the number of people.

 If someone were to join my party, the number one would be Nanami. I want to have a nice talk with Kurosaki-san and have her come over here so she can join my party.

 I don't have any other candidates at the moment, but I'd like to solidify it with my close acquaintances as much as possible.

"However, although raising your level is important, the most important thing is your own health and safety."

""Yes.""

 Finally, when he states that he will not be able to compromise as the director, he switches to another topic.

"Dismissed."

 When Saotome-senpai finishes speaking, he steps down from the stage and dismisses everyone.

"Shia, where do you want to go?"

"Shushima."

"I knew it would be there ~ ."

 When I ask Shia about which dungeon she wants to go to, it seems she wants to go to the Shushima Dungeon.

"Or rather, the stray place."

"Does the Bonus Monster over there have more experience?"

"Hmm."

"Really?"

"Hmm."

 It's true that they drop more magic stones, so I guess she gets more experience points.

 But since we're already active in Toshima Ward as explorers, it's going to be difficult to go back there. It looks like they'll still be managing the movement of those who aren't active yet and will become explorers in the future.

 Shia looks very disappointed that she can't go to the stray dungeon near my parents' house. Her ahoge is drooping.

"Wait a minute, Fuhito, don't leave me out."

 When Shia and I were talking on our own, Amane interrupts our conversation.

 Oh, I forgot.

"Amane, huh. I have something to discuss with you, is that okay?"

"Wh, what is it ..."

 Amane involuntarily flinches when I say that with a serious expression.

"I wouldn't have said anything if it weren't for this situation. Let's go to a place where there are no other people."

 I start walking to the exit while urging them to follow.

"Wh, what ... is this a confession."

 Amane freezes while listening to my story.

"Hey, don't say anything and let's just go."

"Ah, wait!!"

 When I notice it, I turn around and call out to her, and Amane rushes over to us, shoulder to shoulder, and we head for my room.

"Heee ~. You're keeping it clean."

"Hmm."

 As soon as Amane enters my room, she observes the room and gives her impressions. Shia also nods in agreement. The ahoge moves like it's looking around with a sense of curiousity.

"It's like this because I just go back here to sleep."

"Hmm. Ah, that's right!!"

 When I shrug my shoulders and answer, Amane claps her palms as if she remembers something, and suddenly gets down on all fours and starts digging under my bed.

 As would happen when she crawls on all fours, but her short skirt reveals her buttocks. There is a striped cloth with both ends tied with a string sticking out. It bites into Amane's plump buttocks better than Shia's do, and it draws a very naughty triangle and a shape like a rugby ball.

 Is it string panties ...

 I inadvertently scold myself in my heart.

"There's nothing."

 Amane, who doesn't seem to get the result she wanted withough knowing that I have been staring at her for a while, takes a position between standing and sitting straight on her knees with a disappointed expression.

 I've seen an incredible sight ...

 I involuntarily blush when I think about it.

"Huh? What happened?"

"Huh? No, it's nothing, right?"

"Eeh ~ isn't that suspicious?"

 Amane notices that I am blushing and lookks at my face from below as if questioning me.

"Ah."

 Amane, who seems to have noticed something, makes a startled expression and presses the butt side of her uniform's skirt, then she blushes embarrassedly and glares at me.

"Did you see?"

"Wh, what?"

 It seems that she has arrived at the reason why I'm blushing in light of her own actions up until now. However, I can't even affirm it, so I'm flustered, but I'm going to take care of it.

"Did you see it?"

"That, see what ..."

 Amane takes a step closer to me and asks me again.

"M, my panties ..."

"I, I didn't see?"

 Then, Amane, who hadn't said anything concrete, turns her face away and spells it out while blushing.

 Ugh.

 I involuntarily groan in my heart.

 That expression, coupled with her original appearance, is similar to Shia's smile, and for me as a mob character it is extremely destructive, but somehow I pretend not to know it again.

"Truly?"

"It's true!!"

 Amane takes a step closer to me and looks up at me from below. I can't look at her face, so I turn away and answer.

"Shia, how is it?"

 Amane who doesn't know what to do turns her gaze from me and looks at Shia.

"Hmm. Fu-kun was staring at it. Do you want to see mine too?"

"I told you I didn't see it!!"

 Here, the truth is exposed from an unexpected source. I shake my head at Shia, who for some reason pulls up her skirt and tries to show her panties.

 Shia, you traitor!!

"As I thought!! Fuhito is ecchi!!"

"No, it's completely force majeure!!"

 I, who was found out to be watching, insist on my innocence.

 It's impossible not to see it when it's exposed in front of me!! Unreasonable!!

"But you did see it?"

"Well, that's right."

 However, I have no choice but to nod at Amane's tone of voice, which seems to reproach me for the fact.

"Then, how will you compensate me for it?"

"Eeh?"

 I'm confused because I'm being asked to compensate for the panties I was shown completely by the other party.

 I feel like I've been falsely accused of molestation.

"W, well, if you will go shopping with me next time, I don't mind letting it go with that."

 Looking away from me, playing with her hair with her fingers, Amane presents the condition of forgiveness while fidgeting.

"Eh, why do you want me to do that?"

 Why am I being asked to compensate even though I was shown such a thing without my permission?

"Are you going? Are you not going?"

 Amane glares at me frighteningly and forces me to make a choice.

"Yes, please let me go."

 My instinct tells me that I can't go against this woman in a situation like this, so I unintentionally accept.

 In such a way, for some reason, I was made to promise to go shopping with Amane.

 Wait, what was I going to tell her?
