Episode 071 Incomprehensible E-rank Explorer (Third Party Perspective)

"Hmm."

A middle-aged man is staring a a report and groaning with his weight on the back of the chair.

"What happened? Haritani-senpai."(TN:Gotta love complex kanji, 針谷 can be Hari gai/gae/gaya/tani/ya. Please put simplistic form above the complex ones author, thank you.)

Another man who is Haritani's colleague, in the latter half of his 20s, came into the room and talked to him after seeing Haritani.

"Oh, Kurume, huh? I was questioning the people who made a fuss in front of the dungeon, but it's strange."

"What's strange?"

As can be seen from their story, they are Explorers' Union officials stationed to guard the dungeon.

"That's right, this turmoil seems to have started when D-rank explorers with bad behavior got involved with one E-rank explorer."

"Fumu fumu."

Haritani begins to talk in response to his junior.

"According to witnesses, the D-rank explorers made fun of an E-rank explorer when he boarded the bus from the station to this dungeon. Well, they couldn't help but ridicule him because he was wearing equipment used for diving in an F-rank dungeon."

"That's no excuse to make fun of him."

"Maybe so."

Haritani recalls the involved E-rank explorer's appearance, Kurume gives a bitter smile, and Haritani shrugs his shoulders.

"Anyway, at that time, the E-rank explorer didn't pay attention to the ridicule by the D-rank explorers and ignored them."

"It got on their nerves ... huh?"

Kurume asks while pinching his hands together.

"That's right. It seems that they didn't want to do anything on the bus, so after arriving here, they called out to the E-rank explorer heading to the dungeon from behind, but that was also ignored. He didn't pay attention to them at all."

"And they resorted to harsh means."

"Yes. They all attacked the E-rank explorer walking in front of them."

They talked to each other at a good tempo, but only after taking a breath, did Haritani answer.

"By everyone!?"

"Well, that was my reaction, too."

Kurume couldn't hide his surprise from the words, and Haritani nodded when he saw the situation.

"What do you think happened after that?"

"Well, wasn't the E-rank explorer beaten up?"

When Haritani asks Kurume for fun, he answers while thinking with his left hand supporting the elbow of his right hand, with his right hand under his mouth.

"That is, the E-rank explorer was unharmed."

"Eeeh!?"

Haritani grinned broadly as soon as he got the reply he was hoping for, and Kurume stiffened with a stunned face without understanding the meaning.

"Moreover, the D-rank explorers testify that their attacks were somehow returned to them and they suffered terrible damage, though they weren't hurt anymore."

"Whaaaaaaa!?"

Kurume was astonished at Haritani's words and shouted.

"And what's even more interesting is that the E-rank explorer healed their wounds with his intermediate recover and detoxification potions."

"I don't understand the meaning of the story so far, but is there a human being who will cure the person that gets involved with them!?"

To Haritani who continues talking, Kurume who got over his surprise and collected himself, questioned the nonsensical story.

"I was there, that's ... it seems that the E-rank explorer didn't even realize he was involved."

"Eh ... is that possible?"

No one is unaware they are attacked. Kurume began to get a little scared of the E-rank explorer.

"Oh, other witnesses testify in unison. The young E-rank explorer didn't listen to the words of the D-rank explorers at all, on the contrary, he didn't care, right."

"That's kind of pitiful for the D-rank explorers ..."

"That's right ..."

When you think of the D-rank explorers who weren't even involved, they were injured, and they were treated by the involved partner who wasn't even aware they were involved. There was no atmosphere.

"He's definitely an unusual E-rank explorer ... is it a skill?"

"I don't know about that at all, because he had no obligation to tell his skills."

Kurume breaks the silence, Haritani raises both hands lightly and shakes his head.

"That's true. Who is that E-rank explorer?"

Kurume thinks of the too strange E-rank explorer.

"Oh, he just showed me his ID. His name is Satou Fuhito. He's a first-year High school student attending Shinomiya Academy."

"Whaaaaaaaaa!?"

Kurume's scream echoed in the security room again.

The name of Fuhito gradually spreads in various places.
