An Incompetent Explorer Who Failed to Make His High School Debut but Mastered Being a Human Being - Chapter 311

Episode 311: A man who makes a sad little girl cry

 

 As a result of the discussion, it seems that it was decided that the blood will be provided by four people in rotation, and that she will live as Katsuragi Miradia from now on.

 

 

 I thought it wasn’t fine for Shia to decide on her own without consulting Makoto-san and Anna-san, but Shia’s words ‘I’m happy’ solved everything. The two of them seem to be powerful people in the world of explorers, and they should somehow grant Shia’s request.

 

 

 Yeah, I’m sure it’ll be fine.

 

 

 I decide to throw the problem to the two of them.

 

 

“So, you’re in the position of being Shia’s Imouto, but is that okay? Even though you’re the King of Vampires, right?”

 

 

 I feel like we were doing what we wanted from beginning to end, but I ask if it’s okay.

 

 

“Haa … It can’t be helped. I can’t go against my master. Besides, it’s not all bad. They’ve decided to share their blood. If I drink blood, I can return to my Nice Body.”

 

 

 It seems that even the King cannot defy the blood pact. However, it seems she hasn’t given up on her dream of capturing a handsome man.

 

 

“Well, nice to meet you. Miradia.”

 

“Umu. Please take care of me, Nushi-sama. Also, Nushi-sama, I will allow you to call me Mira.”(TN:Nushi is someone who is considered the ‘owner’ or ‘master’. Usually implying ownership such as with a pet.)

 

 

 Since she will be Shia’s Imouto, I greet her again, and she calls me that again.

 

 

 She’s definitely saying that on purpose.

 

 I have to say it clearly and stop it.

 

 

“I already told you, I’m not your master.”

 

“Isn’t it fine? Even if it’s just for appearance, I can call you Nushi-sama …”

 

 

 When I deny it with a slightly grumpy look, she looks up at me with her eyes wide open.

 

 

 That’s a sly way of asking!!

 

 Just how much do you want a man as your contractor …

 

 

“Haa … Alright, alright. It’s fine.”

 

“Ya ~ ay!! Hooray ~ !!”

 

 

 Unable to refuse, I give up and accept with a sigh, Mira joyfully embraces me. She’s a little girl in the lower grades of elementary school, so she’s cute.

 

 

“Ah ~ !! Mira-chan is unfair. I won’t give you my Onii-chan!!”

 

 

 Seeing Mira hugging me in front of her, Nanami screams and hugs me from my right.

 

 

“Nn.”

 

 

 Furthermore, Shia, who is watching it, hugs me from my left.

 

 

 To think that even Shia would show up in the fight between a little girl and my Imouto.

 

 She’s a little childish, but she’s an amazingly beautiful girl who is somewhere from middle school to high school.

 

 

“Mumumu! There seem to be a lot of rivals!!”

 

“I’m Onii-chan’s number one!!”

 

“Won’t lose.”

 

 

 The three people hugging me tightly from three directions stare at each other. Sparks seem to fly between them.

 

 

“Look, look, there doesn’t seem to be any more hidden rooms other than here, so let’s leave.”

 

“”Ye ~ s.””

 

 

 We’ve already seen what there is to see, and it’s time, so when I pat Nanami and Miradia’s heads and persuade them, they reluctantly let go.

 

 

“Shia, what’s wrong?”

 

 

 However, for some reason Shia didn’t want to let go. So, I ask why.

 

 

“Not stroked.”

 

“Yes, yes.”

 

“Nn.”

 

 

 To Shia, who answers in a straightforward manner, I think it can’t be helped and pat her head, then she lets go just like the other two.

 

 

“Luck.”

 

“Won!”

 

“Mumu, who is that!?”

 

 

 When I call Luck who is waiting nearby to return to the dungeon, Mira looks at it with a questioning expression.

 

 

 Speaking of which, I forgot to introduce Luck.

 

 

“Let me introduce you. This is my familiar, Luck.”

 

“Won!”

 

“Right, it’s like my bats. Nice to meet you, Luck.”

 

 

 I introduce Luck while stroking Luck who comes next to me. Luck cries out along with the introduction, and understanding the relationship between me and Luck, Mira returns the greeting.

 

 

“Luck is an amazing guy who can freely manipulate shadows, you know?”

 

“What!? That’s my specialty!! But, I’m better at it. Take a look.”

 

 

 When I boast about the amazingness of Luck, apparently Mira has the same ability to manipulate shadows. Burning with rivalry, she shows off her skills.

 

 

 What is that technique …

 

 

“”Behold, this is my shadow alter ego.””

 

 

 It is a shadow alter ego like Luck’s Kagema.

 

 

 And about ten people come out. If I hadn’t seen Luck, I would have thought it was amazing, but it was a completely degraded version of Luck’s ability.

 

 

“”…””

 

“”Hohou. After all, there are no words for the magnificence of this technique!! What do you think, it’s amazing!!””

 

 

 Just like before, Mira misunderstands that we are at a loss for words due to her own magnificence, and together with her shadow alter egos, she puffs out her chest and boasts.

 

 

“Ah ~ , no, is that it? Luck can do the same thing, you know?”

 

“No, no, don’t overdo it, Nushi-sama. Won’t it just make Luck miserable?”

 

 

 Though I am confused when I tell her, Mira looks down on Luck triumphantly.

 

 

 Hmm. Although she looks like a little girl, she is actually several hundred years older than me. I won’t forgive looking down at my Luck.

 

 

“Luck.”

 

“Won!”

 

 

 When I give the order to Luck, countless of Luck’s Kagema appear to surround us.

 

 

“”Won!!!””

 

“Huh!?”

 

 

 When they all bark all at once, Mira is absent-minded and unintentionally leaks out a voice.

 

 

“Isn’t it easy for Luck?”

 

 

 I give Mira a triumphant look.

 

 

“Huh!!? Kuh … It’s naive to be proud of yourself at that level!! You can’t do something like this, right?”

 

 

 Mira, who comes to her senses at my words, glares at me with frustration, and then shows off her technique. Mira hides behind me in the shadows.

 

 

“What do you think? I can hide in the shadows and move?”

 

“Ah. Yeah, Luck can do that. Also, we can all fit in.”

 

 

 The cruel reality confronts Mira as she answers confidently with a grin, sticking her face out of the shadows.

 

 

“Guha!!? What the hell!? Gununu!!”

 

 

 When she hears those words, she gets down on her knees and looks up at me with her teeth clenched in frustration.

 

 

“What’s wrong? Are you done yet?”

 

“Not yet. It’s not over yet!! How about this one!! You can store various things in the shadow of about six tatami mats.”

 

 

 To me who grins and asks like a villain, spouting lines like a certain masked man, she uses her new skill to put the coffin away.

 

 

“Luck’s is inexhaustible, and time stops inside, so I can take things out at will, you know?”

 

 

 In response, I take out the camping sets one after another from Luck’s shadow.

 

 

“Nnho ~ !?”

 

 

 Then Mira suddenly lets out a strange cry.

 

 

“And what’s truly amazing is this power, Luck.”

 

“Won!”

 

 

 With all of us gathered nearby, I give orders to Luck, who nods and uses the skill.

 

 

“Kyaaaaa!?”

 

 

 Swallowed by a shadow that doesn’t belong to her, Mira is the only one who screams, but the skill won’t stop.

 

 

“Eh, no, where is this place?”

 

 

 Mira is puzzled by the sudden change of scenery and looks around.

 

 

 Yes, we used Shadow Transfer. We were about to leave, so it was fortunate timing to use this.

 

 

“Nn? Where we are is near our destination?”

 

“Th, this isn’t my castle?”

 

 

 When I tell the bewildered Mira where we are, she timidly asks me.

 

 

“Yeah. This is the ability to instantly move to the place where your shadow alter ego is. It’s Shadow Transfer. How is it? Isn’t Luck cool?”

 

“Uu …”

 

 

 When I look down at Mira with a doya face, Mira looks down and mutters a word.

 

 

“Uu?”

 

 

 I don’t understand what she means, so I ask back like a parrot.

 

 

“Uwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaann!! I’m useleeeeeeeeesssssssssss!!”

 

“Ah, I did it.”

 

 

 Mira suddenly falls to the ground and starts crying.

 

 

 It seems that I went too far.
