An Incompetent Explorer Who Failed to Make His High School Debut but Mastered Being a Human Being - Chapter 295

Episode 295: King

“Didn’t the World Tree get bigger?”

“Oh, it’s true. And I’m feeling really good.”

“Right, what exactly is going on?”

“Isn’t that the work of those humans after all?”

 After the female elves with their swollen breasts calmed down, their topic shifts to the recovery and growth of the World Tree in front of them.

“Come to think of it, how did we evolve?”

“Umu. It’s probably because the World Tree has grown, but if you can think of the cause …”

 After being released, Sarion-san and the chief begin to talk about the reason why they evolved. The eyes of the two are directed at us, and the eyes of the other elves who have returned gather together.

 It’s really awkward.

 No, well, we were the ones who recovered the World Tree, and the World Tree grew when we recovered it, so it’s clearer than looking at a fire that we’re the cause.

“It’s 90% likely because of their recovery.”

“Surely, that’s the only thing I can think of …”

 Sarion-san and the chief nod while looking at us.

“Come to think of it, I didn’t hear your name.”

“Oh, now that you mention it. I”m sorry, I didn’t even give my name. I’m Satou Fuhito, this is my sister Satou Nanami, and the people next to me from the left are Katsuragi Alexia, Shimotsuki Amane, and Kurosaki Rei.”

 When I greet them and introduce everyone else, Nanami and the others take a step forward in line with my voice, bow, and then step back again.

“No, no, thank you for introducing yourselves. So, I would like to ask you guys, did you feel anything while sending magic power?”

-Giku!

“N, no, I didn’t feel anything. Right?”

 I unintentionally stiffen my body, but try not to show it on my face as much as I can and ask Nanami to agree.

 I beg you!! Tell them it’s nothing!!

“Eehh!? What?”

 Nanami’s expression looks puzzled, perhaps because I put too much pressure on her.

“So, did you feel anything strange while sending magic to the World Tree?”

 I calm myself down and ask Nanami and the others again.

“Nope. I didn’t feel anything.”

“Nn.”

“I didn’t feel anything either.”

“Right. Me too.”

 Fuu. Apparently, they didn’t feel my Qi. No, it shouldn’t be possible for Rei to be unable to sense it, so she must have understood what I wanted at this moment.

 As expected of our Onee-san, we can rely on her.

 I am grateful for Rei’s consideration.

“I, it seems like my sister and the others didn’t feel anything in particular either.”

“I see. But, in any case, thanks to you guys, there is no doubt that we were able to evolve like this. You could call it the work of God. From now on, let us pledge our absolute loyalty to you, no, to the King and his family and his consorts.”

 When I reply with a cold sweat, for some reason the chief kneels down.

“No, no, please spare me from that. We didn’t do anything. Besides, they’re not my consorts!!”

“That’s a story I cannot comply with. Maybe it’s because my body has gradually gotten used to it, but I’ve come to understand that kneeling before the King is a natural act. We cannot go against it with our will. Even if they’re not your consorts, if they are people who have a close relationship with the King, they will be treated accordingly.”

 I hurriedly try to get them to stand up, but they refuse to accept.

“What do you think I should do with this?”

“They pledge allegiance to Onii-chan, right? Isn’t it fine. I have no issues with it.”

“Nn. Take what you can get.”

 Nanami feels like she is doing as she likes, and Shia takes the same attitude she had when we went to ESJ.

“It’s not easy to become a King. Why don’t you give it a try.”

“Hmm. I don’t know what will happen in terms of international affairs, but if I don’t report it, there won’t be any problems.”

 Thinking that it is someone else’s problem, Amane is looking at me with a grin, and for some reason Rei decides not to report this.

 Report it!! For some reason, it’s times like this that make me feel bad!!

“Haa … Please raise your heads. Even if you say so, I won’t give you any orders, so please continue to live your life as before. If something happens, please help me. Also, please stop interacting with me with a frightened attitude in the future. Otherwise I feel uncomfortable. That’s all from me.”

“I understand. As the King says.”

 Once I shelve the problem and convey my request, the elves bow again.

“Haa … I guess I should have paid more attention.”

 I slightly regret sending my Qi into the World Tree.

“Then, from now on, we will hold a banquet to celebrate the subjugation of the Sacred Tree Eater, the recovery and growth of the World Tree, our evolution, and the arrival of a new King!!”

“”Ooohh!!””

 After that, a grand feast is held under the leadership of the elves.

 The female elves are dressed in traditional elven clothing that was originally made with slender figures in mind, so it seems like they are overflowing from the top and it is difficult to know where to look, also, the bare legs peeking out from under the short kantogi are slender and seductive, and my heart is pounding.

“Uhehe …”

 Being served drinks from both sides from such girls – the drink was juice – to get such a thing, it was a heavenly moment sandwiched between four fruits that grew to harvest in just one day.

“I won’t say anything out of respect for everyone here, but I’ll be preaching later!!”

“Guilty.”

“It’s only natural after what we’ve been through.”

“That’s right.”

 I still don’t know that after the party is over, I will be forced to sit on my knees and have a hell of a sermon time.
