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

Episode 283: Fantasy rather than dungeon

"Fuwaa. I slept well."

 I wake up.

 I check the time on my smartphone and confirm that only about an hour has passed since I fell asleep. After all, I usually wake up at this time.

 Of course, if I want to wake up at a certain time, I can wake up at that time. No matter what time I wake up, I will feel fine and refreshed, and I can choose my sleep time. After becoming an explorer, it's really nice that I can fall asleep and wake up feeling better.

"Won."

 Luck, who confirms that I am awake, also wakes up and barks lightly.

"Good morning, Luck."

"Kuuun."

 Luck snorts happily when I stroke it in greeting.

"Now then, I think it will take a while for everyone to wake up. Should I make some food."

"Won."

 Amane is the first to wake up, and helps me with the preparations for food, followed by Nanami and then Shia. It seems that the scent lured them to wake up.

 It's rare that Rei oversleeps because she's tired.

 The meal is ready while everyone is doing that.

"Hey, please wake up Rei."

"Ye~es!!"

 When I ask while arranging the food, Nanami answers cheerfully and brings Rei. She's still half-asleep, and her clothes are so revealing that it's poisonous to my eyes.

"Nanami, don't bring her in like that."

"Ehh ~ , it's fine. Onii-chan is happy too, isn't he? Nishishi."

 When I glare at Nanami with a scornful gaze, she replies with a smile like a mischievous kid.

 Nanami, who looks like a little devil, is cute, but it's problematic to bring a sleepy woman in front of a healthy high school boy.

 After all, the second largest fruit next to Amane is about to pop out of her clothes.

"It's a crime of conscience. Rei will absolutely faint in agony later after being embarrassed, you know? Do you think even the cool Rei won't get angry?"

"At that time, I'll use Onii-chan as a shield, so it's okay!!"

 Even if I say she'll be scolded by Rei, it doesn't seem to have an effect on Nanami. With a smug look on her face, she says something outrageous, sticking out her flat chest.

"It's too unreasonable!! It's fine, so get her dressed properly."

"Ye~~es."

 I shout involuntarily and instruct Nanami to immediately prepare the bare minimum of grooming.

 Haa ... She's such a troublesome Imouto.

 After a while, Rei also wakes up and comes over, looking embarrassed and fidgeting.

"I'm sorry. I showed you something unsightly."

"No, no, no, it's not unsightly at all. Rather, it was eye-pleasing. Thank you very much. Also, it's Nanami that's at fault. Don't worry about it. I'm still a man, so it would be helpful if you could be more careful in the future."

"U, understood."

 Rei apologizes to me with an embarrassed and apologetic expression. As far as I'm concerned, I was just shown something incredibly wonderful, so I bow my head in a hurry.

 After that, please be careful.

 Even so, I'm a healthy boy, so I can't guarantee that I'll be able to maintain my reason if that kind of thing continues. Traveling surrounded by cute girls is quite dangerous.

 I feel like I blurted out something strange, but let's not worry about it.

"Look?"

"It's going to be complicated, also, it's almost time to eat, so sit down and wait."

"Nn."

 In the midst of that, Shia comes nearby and pulls the chest of her clothes to let me peek inside. Suppressing my desire to peek, I say such to Shia, and Shia obediently sits down in her seat.

 As soon as we finish eating, we leave the dungeon.

 Here again, I search for the party I had been involved with before and go to meet them, and we are given a tour of England. I think it was a very meaningful trip.

"Well then, let's go to Stonehenge for the last one!! You can go inside if I give you a hand."

"Ya~ay, I'm looking forward to it!!"

 We end up going to Stonehenge.

 A mysterious megalithic monument that must have been built by human power like the Pyramids. The purpose of its creation is still unclear, and its overly meaningful construction arouses the curiosity of many people.

 Two hours later, we are standing right next to it.

 The four to five-meter-tall megaliths standing, the stones on top of them, and the fact that they are lined up in a circle were all done by human power alone. It's too mysterious, and the dungeon is also mysterious, but this also makes you feel a strange mystery.

"It's really a strange place. I feel like I can feel something like magic."

"Right. It certainly has a mysterious power swirling in it."

 The two, who are particularly sensitive to magic, murmur while looking at Stonehenge.

 I can also see the energy swirling like a tornado in the middle of Stonehenge.

 It's absolutely unmistakable.

"Let's go to the middle!!"

"Ah, wait here!!"

 Perhaps because Nanami is worried about the gathering of power, she rushes to the center, so I hurriedly chase after her.

 Shia, Amane, and Rei also chase after us, and we all gather in the middle.

"Nn? This is ..."

 It has grass in the middle, drawing a pattern with some kind of regularity.

"What is this, a Fairy Circle?"

"Eh? It's true. It's a strange pattern. It's obviously not something that can be done naturally. There's a possibility that it's a prank, but this has a mysterious power."

 Nanami, who sees me crouching, comes over and crouches down. Rei also comes over and tells me what Rei can see with her own eyes.

"Hmm, try pouring some magic into it!! Eei!!"

 Nanami displays a thinking gesture with her arm for a moment, and then pours magic into the Fairy Circle out of curiosity. At that moment, we are blinded by a flash of light that makes the area pure white.

""Kya ~ !!""

"Are you okay!?"

 The girls scream. But, in this light I can't grasp the situation.

 When I wait until the light subsides, I am relieved that all the party members are nearby.

"Is everyone okay?'

"Y, yeah. Rather than that, where are we?"

 When I call out to her, Rei regains her composure and replies while looking around the area.

-Gya gya gya gya gyaa

-Kiii kiii kiii kiii kiii

-Basa basa basaa

 The cries and movements of many beasts resound.

 I didn't see it because I was worried about everyone's safety, but it is a dark forest with dense vegetation and not much sunlight.
