Awakening to a Special-Grade Explorer ~A Young Man Who Has Been Cut Off as a Lizard’s Tail Becomes the King of Hell and Is Unmatched~ - Chapter 67-2

Chapter 67.2

——– One month later.

“Chigo-san! Hurry! We’re barely just in time!”

“Wow, I’m sorry I overslept.”

“Apologize all you want, but please walk fast!”

Tenji and Chigo were in front of the security department of Narita Airport in Chiba. They were there for their flight to Mallorca.

Chigo, who was not wearing any makeup, had noticeable sleeping habits. She hurriedly dragged her large suitcase with a clank and came in front of Tenji as he was waiting for her impatiently.

Tenji looks at the time on his watch and pulls Chigo’s hand. Next to Tenji was Maharu.

“Fufufu, Chigo isn’t that busy after all.”

“I just overslept …….”

When Chigo made her excuse while puffing out her cheeks, the two of them lined up in line at the security check.

This is where Tenji has to say goodbye to Maharu.

“Big brother, make sure you call me when you get there, okay?”

“I’ll call you as soon as I can. And Maharu, you’re going to make sure you eat, wash your clothes and study, okay?”

“Yes, yes, I’m fine. I’ve already got enough money to live on for a year, no problem!”

“That’s right,…… Maharu is already in middle school.”

Tenji remembered how he and his sister had managed to live independently over the past years without their parents.

[Sometimes we soaked bread in water to make our stomachs feel better, sometimes we studied how to make bean sprouts taste better, and sometimes we praised each other for the excellent work we’ve done on the artificial flowers we’ve made.]

When the association informed them that their parents were missing, the Amagi siblings had two choices.

One was the choice to go straight into an orphanage institution and live as a regular student until adulthood.

However, there were many drawbacks to choosing an institution.

First, their path to becoming an explorer would have been severely limited if they had entered an institution. Of course, Tenju would not have been able to enrol in Japan Explorers High School. If they do start as an explorer, they will have to become independent adults before they can be approved.

And the most important reason was the unique ability “under the blazing sun” possessed by Maharu.

Maharu is currently in a perilous state, constantly wearing a particular weakening item. This ring discharges MP outside her body.

This story was when Maharu was little.

One day when she was still a newborn, her parent’s house burned down due to the outburst of Maharu’s abilities.

After that incident, her parents spent huge amounts of money buying an item that constantly weakened her abilities. Since then, Maharu has been unable to take off the ring. It’s not that she can’t, but she has to keep wearing it.

But that was nearing its limit now.

Tenji and Maharu knew that the ring would soon be unable to withstand the increasing power of the unique abilities as Maharu grew.

The only way to solve this problem was to forcibly suppress the power with weakening items that are more expensive than the current item or train Maharu herself to be able to control her abilities.

So the Amagi siblings refused to enter an institution and were determined to earn enough money to purchase the items through a dangerous part-time job in preparation for a life of debt.

In truth, Maharu wanted to work with her brother as much as Tenji did. But Tenji, who is very protective of his sister, stubbornly refuses.

But now, she was not just sitting back and waiting for that day to come. She was making steady efforts every day to control it. But she still couldn’t control it completely.

Because of this, the Amagi siblings chose to live in extreme poverty, just the two of them, rather than in an institution.

In order to protect his sister, to keep her capable abilities from being buried, and to keep her future as an explorer from being taken away, Tenji has been working hard and desperately.

However, that concern is now gone.

Leon had lent them the top weakening item he owned for free on the condition that Tenji would return stronger. The crisis of Maharu’s unique ability going out of control was prolonged again.

Furthermore, Leon offered to help with the Amagi family’s debts at once. He said that Tenji could pay him back without interest. And by taking care of Chigo’s personal needs, Leon would even pay him a reward for his work and reduce his debt.

The Amagi siblings have already been treated so well by Leon that they can’t stop thinking about him. [TLN: If only we all had a role model like Leon in our lives.]

Tenji is determined to live up to those expectations.

[I have to work harder and harder. And one day, I’ll be strong enough to repay Mr Leon and return to Japan again.]

The siblings had a heart-to-heart conversation, and Tenji made up his mind inwardly – that’s when it happened.

“Are there any Chigo or Tenji who have tickets to Mallorca?”

Somewhere in the security, a voice called Tenji and Chigo’s names.

Immediately Tenji says, “Yes!” and raises one hand wide, appealing that he is here.

It seemed that the departure time was quite imminent, and they had to hurry.

Tenji turned his head to Maharu one last time.

“I’m off then. Goodbye, sister.”

“Yeah, be careful! Big brother and Chigo!”

So Tenji and the Chigo turned their backs to Maharu and made a short run through the security.

They ran to the boarding gate with their guide and made it in time for the flight to Mallorca via Barcelona.

They sat in their first-class seats with a “huff” of relief and fastened their seatbelts.

“We made it just in time.”

“I’m so glad we made it. Now we can finally begin.”

Their seats are in first class, so they are a bit far from each other.

Still, the comfortable space makes them sink deeper into their seats.

“Yes, it really is at last. I’m delighted that I got such a good seat. By the way, the economy was good enough for me.”

“It’s okay! Or did you not want to sit next to me?”

“No, no, no! No, it’s not true!”

“Then don’t complain! I can’t…… spend a dozen hours in a simple chair like that.”

As soon as they had this conversation, the plane started moving and on the runway.

The speed increased quickly, and the plane took off softly.

There was still time to get to Mallorca, but Tenji’s heart naturally began to dance in joy.

It’s been a month since the results.

He discussed the matter of Mallorca with Chigo many times, and sometimes he even accompanied her to training sessions. They studied various information and knowledge about Mallorca, and the two made steady progress in their preparations.

After all these careful preparations, the day had finally arrived.

At that moment, Chigo slowly turned to Tenji.

“Tenji-Kun.”

“What is it?”

“Are you excited?”

“Yes, I’m really looking forward to it!”

“I see. That’s good. Let’s have fun together. And let’s be strong.”

“Yes!”

The two of them just took off.

Tenji was about to take a real step up in his career as an explorer in Mallorca-Escuela.

Tenji is on his way to Mallorca, the land of the free. He left Japan, where regulations are strict, and it was time for him to seriously face his special calling, the “Hell Beast Summoning”.
