Episode 279: Myth

 We investigated the American dungeon and came to the Egyptian dungeon.

“Is there anywhere in Egypt you want to go?”

“I want to see the Sphinx!!”

“Dungeon.”

“I’d like to see the Pyramids.”

“I want to see Mount Sinai.”

 I ask everyone where they want to go, just like in America.

 Egypt has more historical buildings and places than theme parks that take time, and it’s not impossible for us, who don’t have much travel time, to go around in one day.

 Therefore, I decide to spend half the day on the first day doing research, and the next day we will go through everything, and after that we will enter the dungeon and move to England.

 While Rei and I determine the movement range of the transfer trap and investigate, Nanami and the others go elsewhere to kill time by hunting monsters in the dungeon here.

 It’s fine if the three of them go ahead, but Nanami and Shia say it would be better if we go together, and Amane rubs her stomach and says, ‘I want to move my body a little, okay?’, so I don’t say anything urther.

 It seems that Amane is worried about eating too much in America. She doesn’t look like anything has changed … No, I feel like the two soft-looking fruits are getting bigger. No, it’s just my imagination.

“What? Do you have something to say?”

“No, it’s nothing.”

 Amane, who notices me staring at her, glares at me with annoyance. I frantically shake my head in denial.

“Fuooooooooooooooooooooooo!! It’s the Pyramids!!”

 After finishing the investigation of the dungeon and spending the night inside the dungeon, we leave the dungeon.

 At that moment, we are greeted by multiple Pyramids and the desert.

 As soon as Nanami sees the Pyramids, she jumps up and down in high spirits.

 The last time, when I came to rescue Alice-chan, I moved faster than I did in America, so I didn’t have much time to look around. When I see the Pyramids again, I realize how amazing it is that such huge structures were built thousands of years ago.

 Now that heavy machinery and architecture have advanced, it is no longer difficult to build buildings and structures that are hundreds of meters tall, even if it takes time.

 However, there was no such thing as heavy machinery in those days, and even though there was no systematic architecture as it is now, to think that such huge structures could be built with human hands alone, I couldn’t help but wonder how the people of those days did it.

 The Pyramids were such splendid structures.

“It’s my first time in Egypt, but when I actually see the Pyramids, it’s kind of overwhelming.”

“Yeah, I’ve been here for work, but I’ve never seen them so close, so I can feel the greatness of those people back then.”

 Amane and Rei also mutter with their eyes looking a little distant.

 It seems that they are moved by seeing the Pyramids up close.

“Nn.”

 Shia is as usual.

“Well then, let’s go to them first.”

“Won.”

 It is the same as in the United States, but the ease of traveling is different with or without a local guide. For that reason, I plan to ask the men who got involved with me last time to guide us in Egypt this time.

 They have Luck’s Kagema attached to them, so we move to an unpopulated place nearby and have Luck lead us to the men’s place.

“Take care of yourself when you go home, okay?’

“Because it’s really dangerous.”

“Yeah, thank you, Oji-chan-tachi!!”

“Thank you!!”

 As we are guided, two strong men are being thanked by girls, a scene that would have been reported as an incident in Japan.

 However, the girls don’t seem to be intimidated, so they shouldn’t be doing anything wrong.

“Yo, long time no see. Looking good, looking good.”

 I approach them and talk to them with a smile.

“Who are you? We’re the Scorpion Brothers you know … Aniki!!”

“Aniki!?”

 As soon as the two of them turn around and look at me, their complexions change and they call me Aniki again. Why do I have to be called Aniki by people who are clearly older than me. Is it a curse or something.

“I’m not your Aniki. More importantly, what about those two?”

“Hee. They were about to meet some accusations, so we helped them.”

“I see. It seems that you’re following what I told you.”

“Well, we lost to Aniki. It’s only natural to obey the stronger person’s words.”

 Unlike the American guys, they’ve changed their minds and done good deeds since they lost to me, so they’re different from Jack and George.

“”Aniki!! We are also changing our hearts!!””

 I feel like the two of them are retorting to me in my head, but I ignore it.

“So, Aniki. What do you need today?”

“Oh. We came here for sightseeing this time. Can you guide us a little?”

 It seems strange that I had spoken to them, so they tilt their heads and ask me what I need with them.

“Is that how it is. Then, leave it to us Scorpion Brothers. Right?”

“Yeah. Leave it to us.”

 The two proudly slap their chests and accept.

“Is that so. Thank you. I’ll be counting on you.”

“”Roger.””

 As the name suggests, the two brothers are explorers. The older brother is Muhammad, and the younger one is Hassan. Under the guidance of the Scorpion Brothers, we go around Egypt’s sightseeing spots.

“Well then, finally, let’s go to the place where Moses, the leader of the people, crossed the sea with the slaves!!”

 Oh, so we can go to that famous place.

 Moses is a leader who led the Hebrews, who were working as slaves, out of Egypt before Christ. A well-known myth is that when he raised his hand, the sea split open and the Hebrews were able to escape.

 We head to that place.

“It’s a normal sea.”

“That’s right.”

“Nn.”

“Right.”

“It’s just the sea.”

“”Hahahahahaa.””(TN:Fuhito } Nanami } Shia } Amane } Rei } S Bros.)

 However, it is a place that feels like a normal beach.

 Hmm, we’ve come all the way here, but there’s nothing here …

“Ah, that’s right!!”

“What’s wrong, Onii-chan?”

“There’s something I want to do. Please wait.”

 I come up with a good idea, wrap myself in Qigong and lightly throw my fist.

-Zubaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaann

 Then, the sea splits.

“It’s amazing!! Good job, Onii-chan!!”

“Nn.”

“Ohh ~ , that’s what it is!!”

“Fufufu, it’s really amazing that a myth is reproduced in a place like this.”

 Nanami and the others understand the meaning of my actions and each of them smile.

“”Saint-sama has returneeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed ~ !! Hahaa ~ .””(TN:Not laughter.)

 However, for some reason, the residents, including the Scorpion Brothers, prostrate themselves and bow their heads.

 Any explorer who can use Qigong should be able to do this, but how did this happen?

 I look up at the sky.

 The sky is endlessly blue.
