Episode 247: Don't call me Aniki

The two who recognize me stand up straight while sweating profusely.

"Good. Also, acting incorrigibly, you shouldn't do such a thing."

"Gururururururuu."

I glare at the two frightened people. Luck also emerges from the shadows and threatens them.

"N, no, no, don't be absurd."

"Th, that's right. Even today, I thought that the women here might be in trouble, so I called out to them."

The two start making excuses in a hurry.

Well, no one was hurt, so let's overlook it for today.

"Haa ... It's fine. What happened to the other guys?"

I'm sure there were more people when I came here before.

"Today, they're resting, Aniki."

"That's right. They're out in the city, Aniki."

I see. Are they out in the city ... Or rather, aside from that ...

"What the hell is with the Aniki from a while ago?"

"No, you're stronger than us, right?"

"Yeah, the strong guy is my Aniki."

The delinquent explorers reply to my question while looking at each other in confusion.

I don't understand what they're saying, but as expected, I want them to stop.

"Stop with the 'Aniki'."

"Even if you say so, we don't know Aniki's name, right?"

"Right, right."

The two of them reply to my order with a bit of confusion.

"Speaking of which. I'm Satou Fuhito. Nice to meet you. This is Satou Nanami, Katsuragi Alexia, Shimotsuki Amane, and Kurosaki Rei. They're all my party members. You won't get needlessly involved with them, right?"

I introduce myself along with my other party members. As I introduce them, each of them bow slightly.

And finally, while being a little intimidating, I say it.

"Fuhito-aniki, nice to meet you. I'm Jack. I understand, okay?"

"Nice to meet you, Aniki. I'm George. That's natural, hahahaa."

After the two introduce themselves, they understand my intentions and promise in a panic.

What do you mean by calling me Aniki even though I introduced myself?

"I told you, please stop with 'Aniki'. Well, we are planning to leave the dungeon, but what are you going to do?"

"That's right. By the way, what are Aniki-tachi planning to do?"

When I ask about their plans after reconciling with each other, they ask me back.

"We are sightseeing. Also, didn't I tell you to stop calling me Aniki?"

"I, I'm sorry. Is it sightseeing? Have you decided where to go around?"

It can't be helped, so when I tell them of our purpose, Jack asks for more details.

"That's right. I'd like to go to the Grand Canyon or Niagara Falls."

"I don't know if we're close, but I want to go to both Emotional Studios and Destinyland in America!!"

"Nn. Dungeon."

"I don't think I have anything in particular. I'll leave it to everyone."

"I want to go to the Metropolitan Museum of Art."

Starting with me, everyone throws out where they want to go.

Come to think of it, we didn't make any plans at all. It may be impossible to go around all of them because they are all in different places.

By the way, everyone understands English.

After all, their proficiency in 'Conversation' has increased and it's become easier to understand.

'Conversation' is super convenient.

"Umm ... As expected, it's tough if it's not around here, but if it's a tourist spot around the Grand Canyon, we can show you around?"

After all, the places they want to go are all over the place, and Jack and George have wry smiles on their faces, but if it's nearby, they'll guide us around.

Isn't that kind of suspicious?

"You guys aren't plotting something, are you?"

"Th, that's absurd. There's no way we would do that to Aniki."

"Th, that's right!!"

When I glare at them suspiciously, the two of them shake their heads in denial.

It looks like they're not lying.

"Haa ... That's fine. It's a great offer. I'll take you up on that proposal. Also, I've said it many times, but stop with the 'Aniki'."

"I'm sorry, it's too easy to say ..."

"I'm sorry. It just felt so right ..."

No matter what, I've already knocked these guys down once, I thought it would be okay, so I decide to thank them for the proposal and take them up on it.

After all, it should be smoother to have a local person guide us.

"Well, if you understand, that's fine. Then, let's leave the dungeon for now."

"Gotcha, Aniki!!"(TN:Ryokai ssu)

" 'Tcha!! Aniki!!"(TN:Ssu)

Just as I forgive them and decide to leave the dungeon, they say that word again.

"Didn't I just tell you to stop calling me Anikiiiiiiiiiiii!?"

As expected, I get mad and glare at them with my face close to them as if questioning them.

""Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!? I'm very sorryyyyy!! Paisen!!""

The two of them hop backwards and pull out a beautiful jumping dogeza.

I never thought that I would see a dogeza in America.

However, the two chose a different word to make fun of me.

"I'm not your Senpai eitherrrrrrrrrrrrr!!"

""Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!?""

I scream like an enraged beast again and the two hug each other and tremble while screaming.

After they calm down, we are finally able to leave the dungeon.
