Episode 100 A Man Whose Whole Body Is Skewered

Shia, Nanami, and I, who had eaten sukiyaki to our stomach's capacity, came to the nearest Explorers' Union around here the next day. The reason is, of course, to report the discovery of the stray dungeon.

"Welcome, what kind of business do you have today?"

"Ah, hello. Well, we found a stray dungeon, so we came to report it ..."

"Eeh!?"

When I first came, the female staff member who guided me to the counter spoke to me, so when I told her what we were here for, the staff member shouted and froze.

The attention of those around us who heard the voice gathers on us.

It's really uncomfortable.

"Is there something wrong?"

A voice I've heard before reaches my ears.

"Oh, Kurosaki-san, these kids say something I can't believe ..."

"Yes, I understand. I will take care of these children, so you can go back to your original work."

"I, I understand."

The one who interrupted our conversation was the one who dropped me into hell. It was Kurosaki Rei-san who originally discovered my explorer aptitude and registered me as an explorer.

"Can you come with me for the time being?"

"Yes."

"Yes."

"Hmm."

Kurosaki-san guides us to another place. We follow along accordingly. Kurosaki-san stopped in front of a room that was about a minute's walk away and opened the door.

"This way."

"Excuse me."

"Hmm."

Myself, Shia, and Nanami enter the room as prompted.

The room is a drawing room, there was a table in between two sofas.

"Please sit on that sofa."

"Then, excuse me."

Because she pointed at the sofa with her whole arm, I sat down while shrinking back in fear, and Shia and Nanami sat silently on both sides in the same way.

"Would you like a drink?"

"Ah, not particularly ..."

"Don't hold back. Which is better, black tea, green tea, or coffee?"

Kurosaki-san, who smiles bitterly at the sight of us being afraid, gives us a drink with a cheerful smile.

"Then, I'll have green tea."

"Same."

"Me too!!"

We chose a drink, which was strongly recommended by Kurosaki-san.

"OK. Please sit on the sofa and wait."

"Understood."

Leaving us, Kurosaki-san disappeared into the hot water supply room that seems to be next to the room.

A few minutes later, Kurosaki-san returns with tea on a tray. She puts green tea in front of us, puts a drink in front of herself, and sits down facing us.

Then she looked straight as us again.

"Umm, It's been a long time."

"Yes, it's been a long time."

"... Do you remember?"

When I resolved myself and began to speak, it seems that she unexpectedly remembers me, and I instinctively asked her in return.

"But of course. It's quite difficult to forget Satou-san."

"Ah, I showed a lot of embarrassing appearances at that time."

By the way, I was embarrassed at that time. Few people will make such a blunder. It's only embarrassing to remember in that sense, but I couldn't help but do what I did.

I smiled and scratched my head.

"No, that's not the case. So what kind of business do you have today?"

After finishing the small talk, Kurosaki-san asks me.

"Well, we went camping until yesterday ..."

I talk about what happened while we were camping. Of course, there is a problem if I speak honestly, in general, Shia and I entered the dungeon, we investigated to some extent, I continued with such content.

"I see. You found a cave while camping, and when you entered it, it was a dungeon ..."

"Yes, that's right."

"And your sister awakened as an explorer."

"Yes."

Kurosaki-san repeats what I said back to me and checks what is written in what looks like a report, and I answer to match.

"So, did you try exploring the inside?"

"Yes, I'm sorry. I was too excited about a dungeon that no one knows ..."

Kurosaki-san, who was writing in the report, raised her eyes from the report. There was a hint of blame directed at me in that gaze, so I scratched my head and smiled a bitter smile and apologized.

"Hmm ... It can't be helped this time. Satou-san is still young, so I'll just reprimand you this time."

"Really!?"

"Yes, but if this happens again, please report it first, alright?"

"Of course!!"

Maybe because I'm a minor, this time she will release me without any penalties.

Legally, nothing is said, but the rules require you to report immediately. If you neglect to do so, you will naturally be penalized accordingly. It was really good to receive nothing.

I exhaled in relief.

"Also, Satou Nanami will go through the explorer registration procedure. Did you bring the necessary documents?"

"Yes!! I wrote it!!"

"Then I will bring you the necessary forms, so please be patient."

When Kurosaki-san went out and brought back the forms I had seen before, she handed them over to Nanami to fill them out and checked them together with the necessary documents.

I had some paperwork left over from before so I had her write it before we came today. I have reported it to my mother properly.

"Well, that's about right."

Maybe because she did it for me before, myy mother wrote the documents for parents as if it was natural.

"There are no problems."

"Then I will go through the procedure."

"Ah, is it okay if you don't do the appraisal?"

"Yes. Because I can tell if someone is awakened."

"Understood."

I was appraised at the time of my registration, so I checked just in case, but if she can tell if someone's awake just by looking at them, it's fine.

It's just to see if they're suitable. I was saved.

Kurosaki-san proceeded with the procedure, created Nanami's explorer card, and brought it to me. Of course, Nanami must not enter the dungeon until she is sixteen years old. If found, penalties await.

"Then, as soon as the field survey is completed, we will inform you of the results later, alright?"

"Okay, but I'm living far away and I won't be in this area. What should I do?"

"Is that right. Can I contact the mobile phone registered with the association?"

"Yes, that's okay."

When the story was over, it became a story of future exchanges.

When I told her that I wasn't living here because I'm at Shinomiya Academy, she told me that she would contact me on my cell phone.

I don't think it will be a mistake.

"Then I will contact you as soon as the investigation is completed."

"I understand."

"Thank you for reporting today. I will guide you to the entrance."

"Thank you."

We were sent off by Kurosaki-san and left the Explorers' Union.

"That person was trying to do something to us."

A short distance from the Explorers' Union, Shia murmured.

"Really?"

"Hmm."

"She didn't look like someone who would do that."

I couldn't believe it and I checked with Shia, but Shia nodded and I was convinced. There is no reason for Shia to lie to me. So she definitely tried to do something, but she didn't seem to be the kind of person who would do that kind of thing.

"Naive."

Shia dismissed my thoughts.

Certainly, even people who look and speak calmly you never know what they will do. She may be wary. However, it may be worrisome.

"But she didn't do anything after all?"

"Because I was intimidating."

"Did you do that in there?"

"Hmm."

Apparently, she couldn't do anything because she was restraining Kurosaki-san in that situation. As expected, Shia. There are many elites when it comes to staff, but if you don't let the elite do anything, you'll just be confused with a genius.

"Oh, thank you."

"Hmm."

When I thanked her with gratitude, she dyed her cheeks a little red and nodded.

"Aah!! No flirting!!"

"That's why I keep saying, we're not?"

"You're lying."

Entering between me and Shia, taking our arms, Nanami puffs up her cheeks like a blowfish.

Yes, she's cute.

"Rather than that, it's almost noon. Let's contact Mom and eat here."

"Hmm."

"Oh, that's cheating!"

Nanami is shouting between me and Shia, but I don't know what to say, so I ignore it.

After thanking Shia, I decide to buy her food, and she and I walked side by side with Nanami in the middle like parents and a child to the downtown area in a noisy manner.

It was only natural that the murderous, too sharp gaze of the men around us has been skewering my whole body every since we came out into the city.
