Episode 180: Amane's battle (Third Party Perspective)

"Phew. I'm tired, but I feel relieved at home."

As soon as Amane arrives at her home, she lies down on her bed. Amane has been healed mentally and physically outside, but as long as she's outside, there are things that she worries about. At home, she is free from all that, so it's no surprise that she feels relieved.

"Even so, that was a deep breather."

Amane remembers what happened after she went to Spa Emotional.

Thinking about it, she was called early in the morning, she received an ESJ permanently free VIP membership card as a gift, when they arrived, it was almost closing time, the closing time disappeared, all services were unlimited, they were sent to a room that looked like an extra royal suite room on the top floor, the next day the facility was reserved for them, a horde of B-rank monsters rushed in from the sea, Fuhito, Nanami, and Alexia defeated those monsters, at the end of the day, Fuhito parted the sea, damage was done to the city, everyone in SpaEmo thanked them, after that, everyone became so cute they looked like they were reborn, Fuhito became very cool, Fuhito started avoiding them because of it, there were many things.

"Ever since I started working with Fuhito-kun, every day has been full of surprises."

At first Amane approached him with the intention of investigation, but partway through she enjoyed her current life to the point that she almost forgot about it.

Basically, Amane is one year older than them, and they didn't give special treatment to Amane, who was a B-ranker, and had a normal relationship with her.

Normally, if someone was told that you were a step above them, they would be careful, also people tend to shrink when dealing with B-rank explorers who are higher than themselves. However, they didn't mind such a thing and treated her normally.

That made Amane happy.

Well, maybe it's because they were stronger since they first met.

Besides, she likes that he doesn't look at her with wicked emotions or gazes, and while she was competing with Alexia, she was helped by Fuhito, so she's starting to have slightly faint feelings.

Even though she was forced to confess by Nanami.

However, since honestly revealing the power of Fuhito to her uncle Shindou would likely cause Fuhito trouble, recently, she has only briefly reported on the incidents that have occurred between her and Fuhito.

-Gogogogogogogogooo

"Nuwa."

She is lying on her bed, thinking, and her eyelids are slowly drooping, when suddenly the ground shakes. Even though the tremor isn't that big, Amane, who is barely conscious before falling asleep, jumps up.

"Earthquake ... No, this feeling is a Stampede. When it comes to this area, no way ..."

-Buru buru buru buruuu

When Amane becomes concerned, her cell phone shakes.

"What is it at a time like this?"

When she picks up her cell phone in a languid mood and unlocks it, a notification mark is attached to 'LINNE'.

"Isn't it from Alexia ..."

When she opens the app, it is a message from Alexia. Amane opens the message while thinking it is unusual.

"As expected, it's something like that. I can't dawdle. I have to go immediately."

What she expected is written there.

The content is that the school dungeon triggered a Stampede.

Speaking of dungeons around the area, the Academy dungeon is the closest. Considering the magnitude of the tremor, she thought the school is the most likely place, but it turns out to be the terrible reality.

"Exchange."

As soon as Amane leaves her home, she arms herself and runs towards the Academy.

-Gogogogogogogogooo

"Again?"

Shaking again. The fact that the tremors occurred continuously like this suggests that the situation is going in the wrong direction.

"Kyaa!!"

A scream reaches Amane.

"That is ..."

She immediately changes her direction and heads towards the source of the voice, only to find a small girl about to be attacked by a dog-type monster.

"That's a D-rank monster!? I have to stop thinking about such things and help immediately!!"

Amane is surprised at the rank of the monster that was wandering around the city, but she kicks the ground with all her might, thinking that it is not the right time. The ground cracks and caves in.

"Seiya!!"

"Kyaiiin!!"

She makes it in time and punches the dog away. Amane's fist gouges out the monsters face, and it disappears in a single blow. To the Amane of now, D-rank monsters are like ants. She easily defeats them.

However, it's a different story if they are overflowing in the city. Although not as bad as Spa Emotional, there is a possibility that there will be great damage to the city and people.

"Are you alright?"

"Y, yes."

When Amane bends down to ask the girl, she nods in confusion.

"It's dangerous to stay here, so run away that way."

"Will Onee-chan come with me?"

When Amane points her finger in the direction to evacuate, the girl asks Amane with a sad expression.

"I'm sorry. There may be other children like you, so I have to help them."

"Onee-chan is an ally of justice!!"

At Amane's apologetic words, the girl's smile suddenly blossoms and her eyes begin to sparkle.

"It's not like that. Then, hurry up and I'll see you soon!!"

"Thank you!! Ally of justice Onee-chaaaaaan!!"

When Amane starts running towards the school, she hears the loud voice of the girl she helped from behind her. Amane is embarrassed and her face turns bright red.

-Gogogogogogogogooo

"Again!?"

This is the third tremor, indicating that the situation is the worst.

-Buru buru buru buruuu

"As expected ..."

As soon as she checks her cell phone when it rings, she finds the worst message sent from Alexia. In other words, all of the school's dungeons triggered a Stampede.

"I'm worried about the town, but I think Rei is probably doing a good job in that area. I have to meet up first."

While Amane talks to herself, she runs to the Academy while helping the townspeople as much as she can.

"Ahh."

"Ahh."

At the crossroads on the way to the Academy, she meets a familiar face of a girl who runs just like herself, and their voices leak out at each other. However, their legs don't stop and they keep running.

"Rei noticed it too."

"I'm still a detection type explorer."

Of course, the person she meets is Rei, a party member.

When Amane turns her eyes to Rei and speaks to her, Rei answers in the same way.

"As expected. However, if it continues like this, the damage around the Academy seems to be dangerous, but is it okay?"

"I contacted the Explorers' Union, and I also sent a 'LINNE' message to the explorers I know. I think it's about time they arrive."

"Yes. That's good. I thought you would contact them."

When Amane grins, she asks without worrying, contrary to her words. To that question, she replies to Amane with an attitude of it being a matter of course.

Amane laughs wryly after hearing her reply.

The reason Amane isn't worried is because she trusts Rei to take care of it, but she is relieved after hearing her words.

"Fufufuu. Leave it to me."

Rei smiles as she watches.

"Yeah. Well then, shall we quickly join Nanami-chan?"

"Yes."

Amane is no longer worried and mutters, and when the two of them look at each other and nod, they hurry to school.
