Episode 282: Escape

 We became famous in the area where the sea was completely divided due to the Saint uproar, and since there are too many people who gathered, we decide to take a rest after enjoying the banquet to some extent.

“Then, we’ll excuse ourselves here.”

“If you haven’t decided where to stay, could you stay here?”

“No, it’s already decided, so we have to go soon.”

“Is that so, what a pity.”

 When I tell the village chief that I am leaving, he tries to detain me.

 However, if we stay here any longer, we will be stuck, so we decide to take control of our own affairs and not give control to the other party any longer.

 The village chief tries to see us off in a grand fashion, but I don’t want to draw any more attention, so I let the power of the explorer speak and leave the place, when we arrive at a place where there is no one else around, we dare to transfer to the dungeon.

 The two Scorpion Brothers were chasing us halfway through, but they didn’t seem to be high-ranked explorers, so they couldn’t catch up with us.

“Fuu, we finally got out of there.”

“Right, I’m tired of being treated like that.”

 Amane shows an exhausted look at my muttering.

 Because the girls are beautiful girls. It was hard to be talked to all the time. Especially if they’re not good with it, I feel like the men were more enthusiastic about them than me, the Saint.

 I don’t think there are many girls who expose their skin.

 Maybe it was a little exciting.

 I was worried because I was being talked to by so many people and I couldn’t go help them, but they managed to get through it safely.

“Well then, let’s go to the next dungeon before someone notices us.”

“”Yeahh.””

 We quietly enter the shadows with low voices, immediately find the transfer trap and move to the next dungeon, the British dungeon.

“It looks like it’s no different from the dungeon I came to before.”

 Looking around and feeling the presence of monsters roaming around, I realize that this is the dungeon I came to before, and am relieved.

 Milky-white stalactites hang from the ceiling, creating a fantastic space.

“It’s a strange cave dungeon again.”

“That’s right. This is a so-called limestone cave.”

 Nanami murmurs while looking around, so I nod in agreement and state my guess.

“That’s right. Many cave dungeons are classified as lava caves or sea caves, and there are few dungeons with limestone caves like this one.”

“Hee ~ , is that so.”

 After receiving Rei’s explanation, Nanami looks up at the ceiling and is captivated by the splendid sight of the limestone cave. After immersing ourselves in the afterglow for a while, we identify the range where the teleportation trap will not go, and move quickly to the safe area.

“Okay, let’s camp here today. I’ll investigate during the night, so everyone please sleep.”

“I can’t sleep in that kind of situation. I’ll do it with you. This is originally my job. … Besides, this is the only time I can have you all to myself.”

 Staying up late is the enemy of beauty. It’s a story I often hear in anime, so I try to investigate it by myself.

 I should be able to do the work if it’s just to record the movement of the transfer trap.

 However, my proposal is immediately rejected by Rei. Is it difficult for Rei, who has a strong sense of responsibility, to leave everything to someone else even though it’s her own job.

 I couldn’t quite catch the part that was said at the end.

 Well, I won’t worry about it.

“I see. That’s also true. I’m sorry that I tried to do it alone.”

“N, no, if you understand, that’s fine. Besides, there’s no doubt that I’m actually saved, so there’s no need to apologize.”

“Understood. Let’s investigate together as before.”

“Yeah, my best regards.”

 When I apologize in embarrassment, Rei shakes her hand and head in a panic. I nod at Rei’s reply, and the two of us continue our investigation.

“Well then, we’ll go hunting again.”

“No, no, you should sleep.”

 Amane, who was listening to us, naturally started to go hunting, so I stop her in a hurry.

 Since they don’t have to work, Amane and the others should have no problem sleeping.

“The two of you are working hard on your investigation, but you can’t sleep, right? If it were Fuhito-kun, could you sleep?”

“That’s right, Onii-chan!!”

“Nn.”

 However, the three of them unexpectedly object and I can’t say anything. Certainly, even I feel uncomfortable sleeping while everyone else is working.

 If it weren’t for Luck, we’d have to take turns working the night shift, so that’s probably what I’d say, but right now we don’t need a night watch.

“Roger. I’ll leave Nanami and Shia to you.”

“Leave them to me.”

 I give up and entrust Nanami and Shia to Amane, and split into an investigation group and a stress relief group and begin to act.
