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

Episode 051: First Collaboration?

“Won.”

 Luck’s signal tells us that we were able to safely enter the dungeon.

“It looks like we’ve entered safely.”

“I thought we would be found.”

“Movement through the shadows may be quite covert.”

“Hmm.”

 Shia and I were surprised at the high performance of shadow movement, but also were relieved to be able to safely enter inside.

“Let’s go into the dungeon right away.”

“Hmm.”

 Shia and I climb out of the shadow space and appear in the dungeon.

“Magical power is strong.”

“Hmm, is that so?”

“Hmm.”

 I don’t know, but it seems that this dungeon has a lot of magical power. It doesn’t matter to me who can’t use magic.

“Then, should we move on?”

“Hmm.”

 Shia grabs the hem of my clothes as I try to move on.

“Party up.”

“Oh, that’s right.”

 Explorers who have obtained their status can form a party by sending the intention to form a party. By forming a party, the experience points of monsters killed by each person will be evenly distributed within the party, and the position of party members in the dungeon will be known to some extent.

 Of course, even if it’s a party, there is no function that allows you to see the status of your party members without permission. We can divide the experience points of the E-rank monsters. I mean, I don’t get experience points, so it’s better if Shia can take advantage of it.

 Gusuun.

 Even if you organize a party, information will not be leaked to others. Then there was no reason for me to refuse.

“I’ll send you an application.”

“Hmm.”

 I try to think about sending the intention to form a party to Shia.

“Came.”

[ The party application has been accepted. ]

 I knew that the party was organized as soon as she accepted.

“Okay, let’s fight monsters right away.”

“Hmm.”

 When we were ready, we move on into the dungeon.

“There’s a monster about 200 meters away. Maybe it’s a Black Kobolin.”

“Hmm.”

 It seems that she already knew because when we saw the place she didn’t say anything.

 It’s a stone’s throw away.

“Then, I’ll show you an example first.”

“Hmm.”

 When there were about fifty meters left, I called out to Shia, then hid myself and proceeded while hiding, going around behind the Black Kobolin sneakily and launching my fist.

-Paaan

 As usual, the Black Kobolin burst.

“Do you understand?”

“Hmm.”

 When I came back from the Black Kobo and asked, she shook her head.

 Eeh? Seriously? How do you not understand.

“But, level up.”

 Shia’s sudden words make me cry.

 I’m not disappointed!!

 Hmm, it’s a lie!! I’m sorry as the teacher!!

 Level up!! It’s unfair!! I want to do it too!!

 I shed tears like a waterfall in my heart.

“Oh, congratulations …”

“Hmm.”

 I managed to recover and was blessed with her smile. Then I defeated Black Mon several times, but she still couldn’t understand what I was doing.

 After all, my skills, abilities, and leadership are below average, and I must be doing something that doesn’t make sense.

“Sorry.”

“What?”

 I apologize for not being able to teach anything, but she tilts her head as if she doesn’t understand what I’m saying.

“No, you asked me to train you, but I haven’t been able to teach anything.”

“Don’t mind. Level went up.”

 When I bow my head, Shia answers in a manner that she doesn’t really mind.

 Rather, she’s happier that her level has gone up.

“W, well, is that so?”

“Hmm. I couldn’t do it alone. Thank you.”

“Really …”

 After failing to make my High school debut, I, who is the bottom of the explorers and has nothing, can do something useful.

 I felt that my existence was affirmed somewhat.

“Then, I can’t train you, but at least I can help you raise your level here.”

“Hmm!!”

 When I changed my mood and showed motivation, Shia also answered with a rough nasal sound and held both fists in front of her body. I felt better and went around to get rid of the Black Monsters.

“Fuu ~. I hunted and hunted. So? Was it actually helpful?”

“Hmm. Level went up lots.”

 I got all the magic stones I picked up today because I raised Shia’s level. There are dozens of them, so that’s millions. Considering her equipment, Shia might be richer than I thought. It is absurd that she is so generous.

 No matter how many times I said it, she wouldn’t receive them, so they ended up in Luck’s shadow storage.

 I thought we were supposed to hunt together, but I was the only one who was defeating monsters.

“What that.”

“Hmm? Oh this? I can put my luggage in the shadows with Luck’s power.

“Unfair.”

 Shia, who was staring at it, learned that Luck’s shadow could store things and she puffed up her cheeks a little.

 I thought she wasn’t a character who would do such a thing, but I decided to forgive her because it was cute. Even if she has my weakness, cute is justice, so it can’t be helped.

“If you have something you want to put in, I can store it.”

“Okay?”

“Oh, because we’re a party.”

“Hmm.”

 When I suggested it to Shia, who looked enviously, she smiled a little and nodded.

 I was wondering if she would be happy, but that idea was naive.

 After today, I had no idea that she would leave not only dungeon-related items but also clothes and underwear.
