Episode 233: Friends

"Morning ..."

Yesterday, I had a problem with the Student Council President, so I couldn't sleep and was frustrated. However, it seems that I fell asleep due to the healing power of Luck.

Luck in question wrapped around me and is sleeping peacefully. I get off the bed, head to the changing room, wash my face, brush my teeth, and wake up.

"Won."

"Oh, Luck, did you wake up. Thank you for yesterday. Thanks to you, I was able to sleep."

When I return to my room, Luck is awake and greets me. I immediately approach Luck and stroke it.

I was agonizing yesterday, but when I slept through the night, my head is cleared and my fears lessened.

"Saotome-senpai said something like that, but I wonder if it's okay."

Yesterday, Saotome-senpai said that he would ask the Student Council President to stop the ambushing after listening to my story, but what will happen.

Come to think of it, I forgot about it because I was so busy and afraid of the Student Council President, but I completely hadn't contacted Amane and Rei.

I wonder if Nanami contacted them.

"I'm sorry I didn't contact you for a few days. Nanami asked me to investigate a disappearance in the dungeon."

I send them a message on 'LINNE'.

It's early in the morning and I don't think they're awake, so I think it's still too early to contact them.

-Tirorin

"So fast ... are they awake?"

My expectations weren't met, it was read immediately, and I was contacted.

[ I heard from Nanami. I heard you went looking for her classmate. I thought you'd be fine since it's Fuhito-kun, but what happened? ]

[ I got a call from Nanami-chan. I'm looking into that as well, but it's quite dangerous. I was worried. Well ... I don't think Satou-kun will have any problems ... So, did you find something out? ]

Both of them seemed to have been contacted by Nanami, and knew that I had gone looking for Alice-chan. However, they didn't receive any communication after I returned, so they don't know the result.

"Nanami's classmate was brought home safely, and the cause of the disappearance was found."

I simply state the conclusion.

Actually, there was also Shia's parents, but she didn't tell me in the first place, and Shia's family just happened to be hiding.

[ Oh, really!? Good for you!! I was worried because Nanami was so depressed. ](TN:Amane)

[ Eh!? You found out what caused the disappearances? I want you to tell me more!! ](TN:Rei)

[ Ah, what's wrong with me ... I'm glad that Nanami-chan's friend is safe. ](TN:Rei)

Perhaps because Amane isn't that interested in the case, or because Nanami is genuinely happy that Alice-chan has returned home safely, and because Rei is involved in the case, that side goes first. After reacting unintentionally, she celebrated Alice-chan's safety.

"I want to share the detailed story, but can we talk today without going to the dungeon?"

There was also the thing about Shia's parents, and there are many things that can't be conveyed through text alone. If possible, I think it would be better for the whole party to face each other and talk.

[ I'm fine with that. ]

[ I'm fine too. I'd rather hear the story. ]

Time seems to be fine for both of them.

What's next is the place and time.

"What about the place and time?"

[ Where we should go. I can go anywhere, and I'll match the time. ]

[ Hmm, it's not something I'd like to talk about in a crowded place, so Satou-kun's house would be good. I'm also fine with any time. ]

In that case, I specified 10 o'clock.

After that, I contacted Shia, went to my house, woke Nanami up, and explained the situation. Shia also contacted me after, and there was no problem.

"Everyone, thank you again for coming today."

"Thank you."

"Don't worry about it."

"It's fine."

"Nn."

When everyone has gathered, we sit down at the table in the living room and start talking. My mother makes tea and juice and leaves it in front of everyone.

"Well then, I would like to talk about how I came to investigate the dungeon disappearance cases and what I found out."

"Okay."

"Regards."

"Please."

Everyone listened, I got a call from Nanami, when I found out that Alice-chan had disappeared, I went looking for her, I talked about the flow as briefly as possible until I came back to Japan.

Along with that, I also explained Luck's new power. Everyone was surprised about Luck's power, but somehow they understood it because it was Luck.

"It means that the moving teleportation trap and the teleportation destination aren't both in the same dungeon. Certainly, that would explain many of the disappearances."

"That's pretty dangerous, isn't it. It seems that there is no way to deal with it."

The two people who heard the story took the issue seriously.

The phenomenon is certainly dangerous. Since there is no way to prevent metastasis.

"That's right. If it's an explorer who can see the trap, they might be able to avoid it, but the trap is moving and it's quite fast, so it's quite difficult."

"By the way, is the transfer destination always the same, or is it random?"

From what I said, Rei seems to be interested in where the teleportation trap will teleport to.

"I don't know about that. My first priority was to rescue Alice-chan, so I didn't have time to test it. Considering that Alice-chan was in the place where I transferred, I think it's a fixed destination.

"Certainly. But, if that's the case, it's easier to find a countermeasure than a random one, if we just know where it's going, we can do something about it by collaborating with organizations that are equivalent to the Explorers' Union in each country."

"Right. If we can figure that out, we might be able to deal with it."

As far as I've heard, it's true that if the transfer destination of the transfer trap is fixed, it's possible to do something about it.

"Then, I'm sorry, but could everyone help me find out where the teleportation destination is?"

"Eh!? Is it okay for us to be involved in that?"

I am surprised by Rei's sudden proposal.

Such a request would be subject to a confidentiality obligation, and I would feel bad if I let an outsider get involved.

"There's a big problem, but I'll immediately have the information that you're teleported somewhere right away, and if I know where it's going, I'd like to collect the information as soon as possible. The fastest way to do that is to use Luck's help, and it's safer to be with everyone rather than just me. Of course I will pay you."

"Is that so."

It means that the situation is so dire that it is not possible to take leisurely measures.

As Rei said, the number of victims will increase if measures are not taken quickly, and there is a high possibility that they will face a terrible experience in the destination dungeon or country.

That means that compliance violations are unavoidable.

"No, I don't mind. I'm a little tired of leveling up, so it's just right. Besides, I don't need a reward. You're a friend, so it's not a bad thing."

I accept the offer of gratitude and answer with a grin.

"Of course, I don't mind either!! And I don't need a reward either!! I'm indebted to you."

"I'll help you too. It looks interesting. I don't need a reward."

"I'll help. Don't need a reward. Rei-tan is a friend."

The other members also follow me in replying with a smile. Shia's ahoge is jumping around, but she looks like she's having fun.

"Satou-kun ... Thank you everyone ..."

Rei seems to be happy with our reply, her eyes slightly moist as she smiles.

Thus, we decide to investigate the transfer traps.
