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

Episode 331: Explode!!

 Both of them stare at each other. It is exactly a scene suitable for the phrase 'explosive situation'.

"You guys, take it easy. Do that after school is over."

 However, the atmosphere dissipates with the teacher's words.

 Wh ~ yy!!

 This is the scene where you stop them properly!!

 Why are you encouraging them!!

 I turn my gaze towards Sensei.

"Fuu!"

 After noticing my gaze, Sensei snorts and averts her gaze.

 Uwaa!! That teacher is completely amused ...

"Nn."

"It can't be helped, desu. I'll pull back for now, desu."

 However, the two of them don't seem to be foolish enough to disobey Sensei, so they lightly pull back from each other and stop the dangerous feeling.

 I'm relieved that the situation has settled down for the time being.

"Noelle, your seat is over there."

"Ehh ~, isn't this the part where I'll be seated next to Yuusha-sama, and it will lead to even more fateful developments, desu?"

"There is no such thing."

"Ye ~ es."

 Noelle protests in dissatisfaction when the teacher points to the indicated seat. However, Sensei doesn't seem to care at all, and as if Noelle understands that she doesn't care, she quietly sits down in the designated seat.

 After that, the teacher talks about the matters to be communicated, the opening ceremony is held, homeroom is finished again, and it becomes the flow of returning home.

"Yuusha-sama!! Please guide me around the school, desu ~."

 After homeroom is over, Noelle starts to pester me.

"Nn."

"Ah, again!!"

 Shia intercepts her again.

 Noelle glares at her with a dissatisfied expression.

"There are things that Noe-chan doesn't know."

"Noe-chan!?"

 Shia is still in the habit of calling people nicknames without question, and Noelle is also surprised at her eccentricity.

"You can't get close to Fuu-kun without Nanamin's permission. I'm Nanamin officially approved."

"Nanamin!? Who on earth is that, desu!?"

 When Shia points it out to Noelle as if it is a matter of course, Noelle asks about the identity of the person being called by that nickname.

 Since when did you need Nanami's permission to approach me in the first place!?

 Even if I'm flustered, the conversation between the two continues.

"Fuu-kun's Imouto."

"I, Imouto!? Th, that's certainly common in Japanimation where the older brother indulges in a relationship with his non-blood-related younger sister, desu!?"

 At Shia's description of Nanami, Noelle suddenly becomes embarrassed.

 Noelle was like that when we first met, but her delusional habits are terrible. I have to deny it properly.

"No, no, Nanami is my real sister, okay?"

"No way!? Forbidden love!? Yuusha-sama!! Don't be hasty, desu!? You have me here, don't you, desu?"

 Even though I properly explain that Nanami is my real sister, her delusion gets worse.

 Isn't that an outrageous delusional monster!!

"Please calm down. After all, it's familial love, sibling love, isn't it?"

"Oh, is that right, desu? That's good, desu."

"I'm glad that the misunderstanding seems to have been cleared."

 After explaining properly, the misunderstanding seems to be resolved somehow, and we both let out a sigh of relief.

 Dangerous, dangerous. Of course, I love Nanami the most in the world, but not as the opposite sex.

 Don't make a mistake there.

"Ah, Yuusha-sama, can you please stop talking like that, desu?"

"No, even if you say that ..."

 When I am relieved, Noelle suddenly speaks sadly.

 However, even if you say such a thing suddenly at almost the first meeting, it's quite difficult. On top of that, she was originally the subject of a request. Even more so.

 I'm confused by Noelle's words.

"Don't you talk to that child in that manner, desu?"

"That's normal, but ..."

 Can she tell that I am troubled by the look on my face, Noelle looks at Shia as if to make an inquiry.

 It's true that I'm talking to Shia without using keigo(TN:Polite speech), but it's because she's a party member, so that's what happened. Other than that, I only talk to Aki without using keigo just because he's a friend.(TN:In Japan people usually use polite speech around everyone they're not super familiar with, so he's being asked to speak to her in a more relaxed manner like with close friends or family.)

"Then, I'll ask you to do the same, desu."

"Haa ... I understa ... Alright."

 However, I can't ignore Noelle's feelings as she asks me with an upturned look, so I decide to somehow remove the keigo.

"Hooray, desu!! And, as I said earlier, desu, can you please show me around the school, desu?"

 She turns her gaze to Shia because it was Shia who intercepted her.

"Only if we're together."

"Nn ~, it can't be helped, desu, so I'll endure it, desu."

 Shia doesn't seem to have any intention of letting Nanami's opponent approach me without her permission, and she uses her power as an explorer to stop her, so Noelle seems to have compromised.

"I understand if that's the case. However, I'm not that familiar with this school, you know?"

"Yes, Ye ~ s!! I'm very knowledgeable!!"

 However, even though I accepted the offer, I'm not familiar with this school. When I say that, Aki joins our conversation.

 Oh, that's just perfect.

 I'll ask Aki if it's okay to come with us.

"Please, though I say that, but is it okay if he comes with?"

"Who are you, desu?"

 Noelle tilts her head when I point with my thumb at Aki who is appealing terrifically.

"Thank you very much for listening!! 'It's my friend Aki.' "

"Oh, wh ~ yy!! Let me say it to the end!!"

 Aki tries to introduce himself with an exaggerated gesture again, so when I briefly introduce him to interrupt him, he immediately throws a tsukkomi at me.

"Fufufu, Yuusha-sama's friend Aki-san? I'm Noelle, desu. Nice to meet you, desu."

"Ah, yes. Noelle-san, it's a pleasure to meet you."

 Seeing Noelle, who introduces herself again with a chuckle, Aki bows his head lightly, confused.

 Thus we end up being guided around the school by Aki.

""Explode.""

""Unforgivable.""

""Envious.""

 As we leave the classroom, the gazes of such feelings are on our backs.
