An Incompetent Explorer Who Failed to Make His High School Debut but Mastered Being a Human Being

Episode 146: Do people become different people when they play games?

"Wouldn't it be nice if everyone could stay at our house?"

 My mother starts saying something like that.

"Grateful."

 Shia replies that she is ready to stay immediately as if it were her own house.(TN:Oh, but it is!)

 Well, both Mom and Nanami like Shia after all. I guess it's the same with Shia. It's nice to be treated like family. No ... Is she happy?

 I don't quite understand.

"Well then, I wonder if I'll be in your care."

 Amane is fully willing to stay the night, taking advantage of my mother's words.

 It's late already. Looking at the clock, it's past 10:00 pm. I think it would be better to stay overnight rather than go home alone at this time.

"I'm staying at a friend's house ..."(TN:Momoka.)

"What are you talking about? Rei-san. It's already this late? It's dangerous to walk alone."

"Even so, I'm an S-rank explorer, but ..."

"You don't know what will happen in this world, you know."

"I, I understand."

 As expected, Rei thinks it's bad to be indebted to us any more, and tries to refuse, citing that she stays at a friend's house, but my mother cuts her off and she ends up staying the night.

"Hahahahaa. Mom won't listen to you once she says it. Give it up."

"You're noisy!!"

"Ouch!!"

 When I apologize to Rei with a wry smile, my mother hit me on the back of the head.

 Seeing that my mother's hands were unharmed, I think it's because of the jersey that Amane's hands became strange.

 Or is it a family thing?

"Then, take turns taking a bath."

"Understood."

 Mom starts cleaning up after the Chirashizushi, so we decide the order of the baths.

 What should I do with this kind of thing.

 I don't think it's okay to put a girl in the bath after a man has taken a bath.

"Well then, I'll be the last one, so everyone decide the order by rock-paper-scissors."

"Hmm."

"Yes."

"Got it."

"Understood."

 I exclude myself and have the rest of the girls decide the order.

"First is rock, rock-paper-scissors!!"

 They start playing rock-paper-scissors.

 In the end, the order was decided to be Amane, Rei, Nanami, then Shia.

"Well then, I'll go in first?"

"Roger that."

"You shouldn't peek at me, Fuhito-kun, right?"

 Amane takes a pose that emphasizes her chest, peers into my face, and gives me a wink.

 It's quite a wink.

"I won't peek."

"Fufufuu. That's not right."

Leaving behind suggestive gestures and words, Amane is guided by Nanami to the bath.

"Let's not be idle while Amane is taking a bath. What should we do."

"Onii-chan, let's play a game. It's better to have a lot of people."

"That's fine. Is that okay with Shia and Rei?"

 Nanami's proposal doesn't sound bad, so I ask the two of them.

"Hmm."

"I've never played a game like that ..."

 There is no problem with Shia, but Rei's words are clouded with a bewildered expression.

"I haven't played much other than with Nanami, so it's okay. You'll get used to it quickly."

"Really? Then I'll try it."

 My words seem to motivate Rei, so we decide to spend our time playing games while each of us is in the bath.

"I'm back!! It was a nice bath!! Hey, what do you 'Yeaaaaaaaah!! I'm the best!!'"

 When Amane comes back, she comes across a scene of Rei jumping for joy.

 Amane involuntarily freezes and stares at Rei at the sight of her being so far from her usual personality.

 Amane put on the pajamas that she probably had in her Space Expansion Bag, and was probably trying to show it to me, but she was stuck in that pose.

"Ah, no, this is ... Ahahaha ..."

 Rei sees Amane and returns to her senses.

 With a bright red face, she slowly sits down on the sofa and hunches her shoulders.

 This was a miscalculation for us as well, but the one who got into the game the most was Rei, who seemed serious.

 At first, Rei felt unfamiliar and was struggling, but as she gradually got used to it,

"Aah ~ !! Stop that!!"

"Fufufu. It's my turn from here!"

"Ah!! Who did that just now!! I will never forgive you!!"

 While yelling, she was enjoying Santendo's party game to the fullest.

 We were also confused at first, but we gradually got used to it and by now it's normal.

 Amane came back at just the right time, leading to the present.

"Ah, take a bath, it's my turn, right? Excuse me."

"Ah! I'll guide you, so wait!!"

 Suddenly embarrassed, Rei disappears into the bathroom with a red face. Nanami hurriedly follows after her.

"People change so much in games ..."

 I think it can't be helped that Amane's words stuck in everyone's mind.

 After that, we take turns playing games and having fun.
