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

Episode 333: Anxiety about the normal(TN:Pun here, could also be read as Fuhito's anxiety, Fuhito and Futsu(Normal) can both be read the same.)

"Ah, Satou-kun, Sakura-kun, it's been a while."

"Ohh!! It's the Student Council President!! It's been a while. You look beautiful today, too!!"

"Thank you, Sakura-kun."

 When I arrive in front of the girls' dormitory, the Student Council President and her entourage of female students are waiting there. However, unlike before, there is no sign of an ambush.

 This Aki guy is overwhelmed by the appearance of another beautiful girl and greets her with an even more pompous attitude, which the Student Council Presidents dismisses.

"If it isn't the Student Council President. That's right, it's been a while. What are you doing here today?"

 I wonder why the Student Council President is here and ask.

"Yeah, Kanon-san is moving into the dormitory, so I was thinking of holding a welcome party."

"Ahh, I see. Is that the case!! Well then, we'll excuse ourselves. Well then, Shia, Noelle, enjoy the welcome party."

"Ohh!! It's a pity to say goodbye to the Student Council President so soon, but we'll see you soon."(TN:Aki)

 The Student Council President's answer is a little surprising to me, but it is a natural event. Thinking that if it's a welcome party for the girls' dormitory, we have nothing to do with it, so I say goodbye to Shia and Noelle and leave.

"Satou-kun, please wait a moment."

 When I turn my back on the girls and start walking towards the boys' dormitory, the Student Council President's voice reaches my back.

"Umm, is something wrong?"

 In response to that voice, I stop and turn around.

 I wonder if she still needs something.

"You seem to be misunderstanding something, but her welcome party is for the men as well."

"Eh!? Is that so!?"

 I am surprised by the unexpected answer.

 The time being what it is, she is the only new student to enter the dormitory. I thought that if it was just one girl, the welcome party would be done with only girls, but it seems that's not the case.

"Of course. The girls' dormitory no different from any dormitory student, so the entire dormitory should welcome them, right?"

"Ohh, that's true. I'm sorry I jumped to conclusions."

 So that's it. If the Student Council President says so, it's certainly true.

 I'm sure this has something to do with the school culture, but I think it's normal for this school to have everyone welcome them even if only one person enters the dormitory.

 I bow my head lightly and apologize for my misunderstanding.

"No, don't worry about it. The venue is the men's dormitory, so let's go together."

"I understand."

 If that's the case, I can't say no, so I nod my head.

 However, the fact that the Student Council President seems to normal makes me uneasy, but I'd like to think that it's just my imagination.

"Katsuragi-san and Kanon-san, can you drop off your luggage and come right back?"

"Nn."

"Understood, desu!!"

 I thought Noelle would have to organize her luggage, but because time is running out, after giving instructions to come back immediately, the two nod and hurriedly enter the girls' dormitory.

"Come to think of it, did Satou-kun and Sakura-kun enjoy their summer vacation?"

"Of course!! It was a lot of fun to have a training camp with my friends in the dungeon and go to the sea."

 The Student Council President chooses summer vacation as a topic while waiting for the two of them to return.

 As soon as she asks us, Aki tells her the story he told me as if it was ridiculously fun.

 Hey, hey, you were just lamenting about it in the classroom, weren't you ...

 His performance deserves respect.

"I see! That's a good memory of youth!!"

"Yeah, you're right ..."

 However, when he smiles back at the Student Council President, he makes a strange expression.

 He didn't seem to have a good memory of it after all.

 I don't think you need to show off ...

"How about you, Satou-kun?"

"Yeah. I went on an expedition to an overseas dungeon."

 Having heard Aki's story, the Student Council President turns her attention towards me now.

 I answer in an innocuous way.

"Come to think of it, Katsuragi-san gave me souvenirs. Were you with her?"

"That's right. I went with my party members."

 It seems that Shia properly handed over the souvenirs.

 I was worried that she wouldn't be able to convey her words because she doesn't speak much, but it seems that everything was fine.

"Does that mean that Amane-san was also with you?"

"Yes. Also, the explorer who took care of my Imouto and I went together as a group of five."

 She seems to be wondering who I went with, so I'll refrain from specifically saying names, except for Shia and Amane.

"I see, that sounds like fun."

 The Student Council President gives a pleasant smile.

 For some reason, I can't help but feel uneasy about that overly normal conversation.

 I wonder what exactly the Student Council President is thinking.

 I had no idea what she was thinking before, but I feel that the mysteriousness and eeriness has increased.

 It's like the calm before the storm ...

"Yeah, we were able to go to the tourist spots that we wanted to visit once, and it was quite fun."

"Hee, that sounds nice. Ah, it looks like those two are back."

 As my anxiety grows, it seems that Shia and Noelle have returned, and I feel a little relieved.

 After meeting up with Shia and Noelle, we walk to the men's dormitory together.
