CH 93

Episode 093 Satou Expedition!! Investigate the unknown cave!!

I was struck down by curry for a while, but as an explorer, my metabolism was counter-stopped, so I quickly became well.

"I really had a hard time."

"I'm sorry, Onii-chan."

"Sorry."

The two bowed apologetically to my complaint.

Really ... I was reincarnated to a different world the moment I put it in my mouth, but for some reason I was the only child in the house who was exiled as an incompetent and almost died, I was able to obtain great strength and live a matchless life.(TN:Probably a reference to a different novel by the same author, they like their shameless inserts.)

It was a pretty hard life.

"If you learned something from this, first make it according to the recipe, okay?"

"Yes." "Hmm."

The two nodded quietly at my advice. There was a slight devilish smile on their faces, so my suffering may continue.

When the area was completely filled with darkness, we moved to a slightly elevated hill. Luck was the house-sitter for crime prevention.

When we moved, I created an environment where we could lie down, and the three of us lay down. For some reason, I was designated a spot by the two people this time as well, and I am in the middle.

What is the reason for this?

"Pretty!!"

Nanami suddenly shouted at the sky where hundreds of millions or trillions of stars were shining. The stars are clearly visible in the local sky, probably because there is little light, and the sky seems to be close.

"I don't look up at the sky much even though I lived here. It's so beautiful."

"It's true! I didn't notice it while living here at all."

Nanami and I are surprised to see the colors of the starry sky. Nanami and I didn't realize that the stars glittered so much in the night sky despite being locals.

"Pretty."

Shia is also enjoying the shining stars that fill the sky.

""...""

The three of us silently looked at the starry sky for a while.

"Today I'm going to sleep with Shia-oneechan, okay?"(TN:I love how GTL takes the last bit of Shia's kanji and melds it with the oneechan and somehow comes up with Shia-ojichan. LOL Google TL, but you're wrong. I put a space between Shia and Oneechan and it shows properly, so it's not a typo, it's just how the kanji works.)

"Hmm."

"Understood."

Nanami and Shia seem to get along really well, and they're going to sleep together today. Although the brother-sister parting makes me lonely, she's already a Junior High school student, so it's unavoidable.

We spent the night in separate tents. I was completely defeated by Shia.

Shikushiku.(TN:Crying sfx)

The next day.

"What are we doing today?"

"I wonder."

The events of fishing, barbecue, curry, and playing with Luck, which are the real pleasures of camping, have been completed, so I have to think about something else.

"By the way ..."

I remembered the cave I found when I went away to escape from Nanami yesterday.

"What?"

"Ah, I found a little cave yesterday. How about exploring it?"

"What's that, it sounds interesting!!"

I said it because it was silent, but Nanami looks at my face and replies in surprise, Nanami bites back in confusion. Because she wants to be an explorer like me, I thought she might be interested in such an exploration and adventure, but her reaction was greater than I expected.

"Is Shia okay with it?"

"Hmm."

I asked Shia for confirmation, but she nodded that there was no problem.

"When we come back here, the place may be gone, but we can camp near the cave, and the road is quite steep so it will be hard for an ordinary person like Nanami, so I will have Luck carry her."

"Yaaay, I can get on its back again!! My best regards!"

"Won."

Nanami happily hugged Luck, and it wagged its tail happily as it got used to it, and barked lightly.

An easy road for an explorer but a steep mountain road for the general public. If I compensate for her body with Luck's ability, I should be able to easily take Nanami to the cave.

We immediately packed up the camp set, pretended to put it in a backpack, and got ready.

"Then, let's go!!"

"Oh!!"

"Oh."

A lively replay and a reply without intonation. We left for yesterday's cave with the two contrasting people.

After running for about 20 minutes, we arrive at our destination.

"How is it? This is the cave."

"Somehow I'm thrilled!! Let's go quickly!!"

"Okay, okay. The cave won't run away even if you're not impatient. Calm down."

When we reached the front of the cave, Nanami couldn't wait and pulled my sleeves from the top of Luck, so I smiled and calmed her down.

"Luck, can you protect Nanami properly?"

"Won."

I tell Luck firmly, put on a helmet with a light, and we go inside.

"Hmm? It's not as dark as I expected, isn't it?"

"That's right. It's strange."

We move slowly while looking around the slightly bright cave even though there is no light source.

I feel like I've seen such a cave somewhere, but where was it?

After a few minutes, we see a dazzling light at the end of the cave.

"It looks like it was a tunnel-like cave."

"Eeh, I thought a big adventure was waiting for meeeee!!"

At my mutter, Nanami rampages on Luck in disappointment.

Luck looks confused and annoyed.

Have patience, Luck.

We gradually approached the light, and after a short walk, we came to the point where we could go out of the cave and I noticed that Shia hadn't spoken a word since a while ago.

She's not a talkative person, but Shia isn't the type who doesn't talk at all.

"What's wrong, Shia?"

"Not a cave."

"What are you saying?"

When I talk to her worriedly, she says something I don't understand, so I'll ask again.

And beyond the cave, Shia said:

"Dungeon."

と。(TN:Here's the author's favorite connector that means nothing again!)

As her word says, beyond the cave, there was an illusion that we might have lost ourselves in some ruins.
