Episode 248: Priceless

We go out of the dungeon.

"Fuaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!! This is the vast America that I wanted to see!!"

Nanami cries out involuntarily when she sees the scenery beyond the dungeon. The local explorers around us send curious glances at us, the strange Japanese, and there are several people who try to approach us.

However, as soon as they see Jack and George, they look startled and leave.

"Don't you guys do something dangerous?"

"No, no, we don't do anything, Ani ... Satou-san."

"That's right. We carry ourselves with good conduct!! Ani ... Satou-san."

When I ask the two of them about the skeptical way the people around look at them, they shake their heads in a panic.

What exactly did these guys do?

And these guys aren't well behaved, are they.

After doing that in the dungeon.

Well, I don't care as long as there's no actual harm done.

"Haa ... It's fine? If you call me Aniki again, I'll dekopin you, okay?"(TN:Dekopin = finger flick, usually to the forehead.)

"Hii. I understand!!"

"Aye!!"

When I ready a dekopin at the two who were about to call me Aniki again, they tremble and reply.

"And if you do what you did to us to someone else, from now on, Luck's Kagema that are attached to you will show no mercy."

""Gururururururuu""

From the shadows of the two, Luck's Kagema growl.

Recently, the Kagema have become much closer to the real thing. Luck seems to be evolving day by day.

"Ye, yesh!! I understand!!"

"I, I'll be careful from now on!!"

"It's good you understand."

The reason why these guys listen so well is because Shia said something like this to them inside the dungeon.

"Fu-kun, dekopin that rock." This.

As I was told, when I let loose a dekopin, a large rock that was many times taller than me disappeared.

As expected, the things inside a dungeon are fragile.

While I was thinking that way, Shia and Rei said something to the two of them, and after seeing them shake their heads violently, they became even more obedient to me.

I don't know what Shia and Rei said, but it's fine if they're obedient. I feel like this has happened before. I somehow forgot.

Let's put the two of them aside for the time being and enjoy the atmosphere for now.

"Certainly, when you stand alone in the middle of the wilderness, you can feel the vastness of the world and how small you are."

"Yup!! The Earth is huge!!"

When I call out to Nanami, who is impressed by her surroundings, my Imouto smiles at me as if she never lost her excitement.

That smile is priceless.

I think it was worth bringing Nanami just to see him smile.

"Well, where are you going first?"

"Well, it's the Grand Canyon, and there's Route 66 on the way, so let's go from there."

"How are we going to move?"

"Let's use our car."

"Got it."

We ask the two of them the procedure after we exchange the magic stones at the Hunters Guild, get into Jack and George's car, and leave the dungeon.

However, these guys are driving a HiAce.(TN:Of course they drive a Japanese car, Toyota HiAce, in America ...)

This vehicle is famous in only a few places because it is often used to kidnap women.

"You guys, I don't think it's true, but you didn't kidnap any women, did you?"

"I, I didn't do that, Ani ... Satou-san."

"Th, that's right. We might have had a little fun here, but ..."

"Hey, don't say weird things, you!!"

When I check just in case, the two of them reply in a hurry from the driver's seat and passenger's seat. However, Jack yells at George for digging a grave by saying something funny.

""Guilty.""

"Ah!? Hey, stop for a minute!! Ouch!! It hurts!!"

"Owowowowowowowowow!? Please give me a break, Ani ... Satou-san!! I will change from now on!! I won't do it again!!"(TN:Hard to properly translate Itatatatatatatatata.)

When the women declare their guilt, Luck's Kagema show only their faces and begin to bite the two.

They promise me that they will never do it again, and it will be dangerous if the two of them were to swerve into the oncoming lane as the car meanders, so I leave it at that.

"Oh!! This is it, this. I like this scenery of a lone road running through nowhere."

"That's right!! This is the feeling of America!!"

"Nn!!"

After leaving the dungeon facility and driving for a while, there is a single road that goes on forever in front and behind. There is nothing resembling a building in the area, and only vast nature can be seen.

When I unintentionally shout in excitement, Nanami and Shia respond with excitement while watching the spectacle.

Come to think of it, Amane and Rei don't seem very impressed.(TN:Cause it gets boring fast ...)

"Amane and Rei aren't that surprised, are they? Have you ever been here?"

I am curious and ask the two of them.

"Well, I've been here several times for college graduation trips and work, so it's certainly not the first time."

"I've been here before, or rather, I lived in America until recently. It's rather nostalgic."

"Eh!? I didn't know Amane lived in America."

Leaving aside Rei, I am surprised by Amane's unexpected words and turn around to see Amane's face.

"Ah, well. That's why I was delayed one year in school."

"Oh, I see. Is that what you mean."

Amane replies by shrugging her shoulders.

The two of them had the same weak reaction.

If they've been here before or used to live here, they wouldn't be surprised.

I nod deeply hearing the reason for their reaction.
