Episode 212: Dog, moving ahead

"I see, Nanami is really popular at school."

"That's right, there aren't many girls that are that cute both inside and out."

Me and Alice-chan are walking towards the entrance of the dungeon while talking about Nanami. Alice-chan is rocking on Luck's back.

Nanami seems to be very popular in Junior High School due to her appearance and personality. I am very proud as an older brother.

"Yeah, yeah, Nanami is certainly cute, so it can't be helped that she's popular. But, I have to correct one thing."

"Umm, what is it?"

However, there is one part about which I can't keep quiet.

Alice-chan tilts her head curiously.

"It's not that there aren't many cute girls like Nanami, it's that Nanami is the 'only' one."

"Eh, yes, that's right. You are definitely Nanami's older brother."

Alice-chan looks kind of satisfied at my words and actions.

"Eh!? Did you doubt me?"

"No, I'm not saying that, but what the two of you talk about is exactly the same ..."

I'm surprised that she still doubts me, but it seems that's not the case.

I let out a sigh of relief.

"Did Nanami say something about me?"

"She says you're the strongest, coolest, most reliable, and the best Onii-chan in the world."

"Oh!! I'm glad that Nanami thinks like that, even though I knew she loves me."

Nanami loves me so much that she misses me just by being away for a while, yeah, yeah. Really ... It can't be helped, so let's buy her something again next time.

Well, Nanami's share is the same as everyone else's, so she might buy it even if I don't buy it for her, but it should be fine to give her a present.

"Fufufuu. You really look like brother and sister."

"Hahahahaa. It's only natural for siblings, right?"

"Umm, yes ... well, hahahahaa."

Alice-chan smiles amusedly while looking at me, and when I respond with a grin, she hesitates for a moment, then affirms with a laugh.

Huh? Did I say something funny?"

It's fine.

"Won."

"Oh, yeah."

Luck barks at me. It's a signal that another explorer is approaching.

"Alice-chan, it seems that another explorer is approaching. I don't know what kind of opponent they are, so please don't let your guard down."

"U, understood."

After about five minutes of walking, six armed explorer-like people walk from the front.

That's normal, but there are things that aren't normal at all.

"Heei, doushitanda, booi ando gaaru? Maigoka?"(Hey, what's wrong, boy and girl? Are you lost?)

All of them are foreigners, not Japanese.

I haven't gone outside yet, so I don't know, but something terrible might have happened. Because there is a high possibility that since there is a foreigner in the dungeon, this place might not be Japan.

That's why, the cell phone doesn't work, and I don't understand the language, I haven't gotten out of the dungeon yet, but in such a situation, it may be that the circumstances of the people who disappeared in the dungeon could not easily communicate, and the case was not resolved.

"Um, no, it's totally fine. By the way, what country is this dungeon in."

"Haahhahhaha!! Son'nakotomoshiranainokabooi!! Sassatoouchinikaerina!!"(Hahahaha!! I don't know what you're talking about, boy!! Quickly go back home!!)

The man at the front with curly, blond hair and blue eyes laughs at me.

The other members are all male, and I think it's most fitting to call them college students with a slightly evil atmosphere.

Come to think of it, why is this guy speaking broken Japanese?

It's really hard to understand.

Well, I understand what they think of us.

What they want somehow or another.

"Haa ... I understand. I'm going home soon, so can you leave?"

"Oi, oi, you're not just going to pass through here, are you?"

When I speak to the man who is blocking my way while being amazed, he suddenly switches to messy, slow Japanese and gives us a nasty smile. The other men are also laughing.

Was it just acting?

Haa ... I want to go back to where Nanami is as soon as possible ...

Don't they have great courage to disturb me when I'm going back to my sister?

"Won!!"

When my anger gauge begins to rise, Luck suddenly barks.

"H, hii!?"

"H, help!?"

"S, stop!?"

"U, uwaa!?"

"M, monster!?"

"Hiya!?"

The next moment, a huge amount of Kagema surround them. The darkness itself takes on a terrifying appearance, as if it has taken the form of a wolf.

"Hii."

For some reason, Alice-chan is also frightened by Luck's Kagema. Ah, I didn't explain properly.

"Alice-chan, that's something like Luck's alter ego, so don't be afraid."

"I, is that right."

I stroke her head to calm her down and explain, and she shows me a relieved expression.

Phew, good."

""Won!!""

The Kagema attack them as they are.

""Uwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!""

The men's wild screams go up, and then nothing is heard.

"D, did they really kill them ...?"

Alice-chan, who was watching the situation with bated breath, timidly asks about them.

"No, that's not true. Right? Luck."

"Won."

It happened so suddenly that I don't know the details, but there must have been a reason.

When I turn my gaze to Luck and ask it, Luck puffs out its chest and barks.

Along with that bark, the Kagema that have been covering the men until just now separate from them and disperse. There are six unreasonable explorers with terrible faces wet with tears and runny noses lying there.

"What are you going to do with these people?"

"It can't be helped. Let's put them in Luck's shadow and bring them with."

"Won."

I can't leave them behind, so I put them in Luck's shadow to carry them, and head for the dungeon's exit again.
