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

Episode 267: Welcome, the place that everyone dreams and longs for

"Would you like to go to Las Vegas tonight?"

"Eh? Las Vegas, is it?"

"Right, right. I wanted to go there once."

 I propose staying the night in Las Vegas.

 Because I dream of getting rich quick at a casino in Las Vegas. No, you may say that I have assets that I can't use for the rest of my life, but that's a different matter!!

"Oh, I want to go too!! It looks interesting!!"

"Nn."

 Nanami and Shia's eyes are sparkling.

"Come to think of it, I've never been there either. Although I've been invited by my father."

"Nowadays, there is no age limit. Even if you're young, you can enter if you have a guardian."

"Right, right."

 When Amane mutters about the old days, Rei talks about casino entry restrictions and Amane nods in agreement.

 Before monsters appeared in the world, only adults were allowed to enter casinos, but due to the population decline and the rise of explorers, the age limit for entry was lowered to 16 years old, and even more so. It seems that even young children can now enter and gamble with an adult guardian.

 That's why we can enter without any problem, and if Rei is Nanami's guardian, there will be no problem.

"What are you going to do? Are you not very interested?"

"No, I'm a little curious. Besides, even if everything is lost, I won't go bankrupt anyway, and I can take it easy."

"Right. I've had strange feelings lately, but we won't go bankrupt even if we gamble a little. Then, I'll try it too."

 I thought they weren't that interested, but when they find out that they won't go bankrupt, they say they want to try it.

"Really? You don't have to force yourself, you know."

"I really want to try it. I wanted to go once."

"Right. Me too."

 Just in case, I apologize if they are forcibly pushing themselves, so I check it again, but it seems that they have changed their minds, so I decide not to say anything more.

"I'd like Jack-tachi to show us around Las Vegas, is that okay?"

"Eh, ah, yes, o, of course!!"

"We will gladly accept your offer!!"

 The two of them have been like this since the event to get rid of Kaiser in Destinyland was over. They have a more humble attitude than when they were defeated by me.

 I asked them to treat me normally, but they stubbornly shook their heads.

 What exactly do they mean?

 Well, it's not like there's a problem with communication, so I don't mind.

"Then, let's go quickly."

 We move to a deserted part of Las Vegas with Luck's Shadow Transfer.

"W, well then, let's get dressed first."

"Eh?"

"Th, the casino we're going to is pretty strict about your appearance."

"I see, got it."

 When we arrive in Las Vegas, we are guided by Jack to get dressed and are led to a boutique.

"Wow, you're all beautiful."

"Yaay, hooray!!"

"Hooray."

"Ufufu. Thank you."

"I'm happy to be flattered."

 I hurriedly change into a tuxedo and wait for the women, all of whom are wearing gorgeous dresses.(TN:So, even young children have to dress up? Babies gambling in penguin suits ... Rofl.)

 Nanami wears an orange off-the-shoulder dress, Shia wears a dark blue bustier-type dress that matches her eyes, Amane wears a wine-red dress with a wide neckline, and Rei, matching her hair color, wears halter-neck black dress with a wide open back.

 Everyone matches their individuality and brings out their own charms.

"Onii-chan is cool too!!"

"Nn. Love."

"Right. He's quite handsome."

"Yeah, it suits you very well."

"R, right. Thank you."

 On the other hand, since I am alone, I feel embarrassed when everyone compliments me. One is clearly just a confession, not a compliment.

 I'll ignore it for now.

"Well then, let's go, Satou-san."

"Got it."

 Prompted by Jack-tachi, who are dressed in tuxedos just like me, I follow them after paying.

"This is ... the casino!!"

"That's right. We're members of the establishment, so I think you'll have no problem getting in with our introduction."

"I see. I'm counting on you."

"I understand!!"

 What we arrive at is a building that is ridiculously splendid, yet has an elegant appearance that has not lost its dignity.

 I'm still a commoner at heart, but I can't help but unconsciously make a sound in my throat.

"Oh, if it isn't Jack. It's been a while. Are you here to lose again?"

 A man with a good build and a strong appearance suddenly calls out to Jack in front of the store. The man is one of two people standing at the entrance in front of the building. Apparently, he knows Jack.

"Hey. It's been a while. No. I'm here today to introduce the people here and to guide them."

"It's unusual for you to do that."

"There's a lot going on."

"Hou."

 At Jack's reply, the man stares as if judging us.

"Well, it's fine. They're qualified to enter our establishment because of your introduction. Then, show me your IDs."

 After observing for a while, the man demands that we present our identification. We all present our guild cards.

"That little girl needs a guardian, you know?"

"As for that, I'll be her guardian."(TN:Rei)

"I see. Then, there's no problem. Welcome to Casino Heaven, where everyone dreams of getting rich quick."

 After confirming our identities, we are welcomed into the casino with such a cheerful smile that I can't believe that it is the same tough-looking man as just a moment ago.
