CH 77

Episode 077 Can I bring a (female) friend to my house?

[ Hello, Onii-chan? ]

"Ah, Nanami? What is it?"

Today I receive a call from Nanami using the talk app "LINNE", so I respond at the speed of light.

I wonder if there is anything more important than my sister's phone call.

[ What are your plans for Golden Week? ]

"No, I don't have any. Why do you ask?"

By the way, was it Golden Week soon? I was absorbed in the dungeon and forgot.

[ Home ... are you not coming back ...? ]

"That reminds me. I never made plans about going home."

My sister said that with a lonely voice, so I decided to go home with haste.

Even if I don't go home, I'll just dive into the dungeon, and there's nothing to prioritize over my sister, so it shouldn't be a problem.

[ Hooray!! I'm looking forwards to it!! ]

"Roger that."

[ And then, my classmate Micchan ... ]

"Yes, yes."

Nanami, who was relieved to have my promise to return home, begins to enjoy talking about what happened in Junior High school when she entered the school. I kept listening to Nanami's story while nodding with 'Eun Eun'.

"Nanami, shouldn't we sleep now?"

[ Oh, I'm sorry. I talked too much. Good night, Onii-chan. ]

"Oh, take a rest. Don't get hungry and go to bed."

[ Enough!! I'm not a kid!! See ya!! ]

-Putsuuu

Originally, the time when I recieved the call was late, and it was about midnight, so I ended the call.

"Fuu ... Shall I go on a hunt?"

Apparently there were many boys who had already confessed to Nanami. It's been a few weeks since she entered the school, but she's doing fine. I know Nanami is cute, but if you want to go after my sister, you have to beat me first!!

"Kukukukukukukuuu ..."

Involuntarily low laughter leaks.

"Kuuun."

Looking at the side of the bed, there is a scared dog, showing its belly and hiding its tail between its legs.

It was Luck.

Oops, it seems that my murderous intent was leaking. It's really cowardly and cute to be frightened by the murderous intent of an E-rank explorer, Luck.

"Oh, I'm sorry. Yoshiyoshi."

I got off the bed and patted Luck as if I was hugging it.

"Wowon."

After stroking it for a while, I wondered if it was feeling better, rubbing its head and barking.

"Then, should we sleep?"

"Won."

Luck seemed to be fine, so Luck and I fell asleep.

The next day.

"I want to go too."

"Eeh?"

When I tell Shia about me going home, I ask her why she wants to come.

"No, why?"

"I can't train unless we're together."

"You can go alone, right?"

"Inefficient."

"But it may not be very interesting."

"It's fine."

I wonder why she would never give up. But she asked and she holds my weaknesses so I can't refuse.

"Where will you stay?"

"Find a hotel."

"Because we are in the countryside, there is no place to stay near my house."

"Hmm."

Shia is worried when she hears that there is no hotel.

If I leave her alone, she won't know where to go or what to do.

I can't help it, so I'll take care of her until the end ...

"Oh ... I see. I'll ask my mom and sister. So if they say it's okay, you can stay at my house."

"Thank you."

I immediately asked my mom and sister with "LINNE" if I could take a friend home and have them stay overnight.

[ It's fine. ]

[ OK. ]

The answer came back.

I have such a generous family.

"My family says Okay."

"Fu-kun's family is kind too."

She smiled slightly and blushed when I told Shia that she had been approved by my family.

"Tch, I can't take it!!"

Aki, who was watching our interaction nearby, spouts abusive language.

"What is it ..."

"I'm going to do a dungeon training camp with men, but you're going home with her!?"

When I ask with my eyes half closed, Aki draws closer and criticizes me harshly.

Your face is too close.

"No, like I said, Shia and I don't have that kind of relationship?"

"So would you usually take a girl home?"

When I deny my relationship with Shia as usual, he asks me suspiciously.

Because it can't be helped!!

My life depends on it!!

And I don't think I can do anything to her, I think she would be troubled if it seemed like that to him. Because she is my boss. Of course, being with the cutest girl in school doesn't feel bad as a healthy high school boy.

"There is a reason for it, right?"

"Hmm."

I hid what I wanted to shout and asked Shia for confirmation, and she replied briefly and nodded.

"Come on ... haa. I also want to flirt with a girl ..."

He seems to have felt something from the exchange between Shia and I, and he prostrated on the desk.

"Well, leaving Aki aside, I'm leaving on the 26th, so just get ready. After that, I will make a reservation for the Shinkansen, so please pay the cost later."(TN:Shinkansen is a bullet train.)

"Hmm."

So Shia and I went back to my parents' house together.
