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

Episode 067 A certain explorer specialty store manager's speculation (Third Party Perspective)

 Momoka Jougasaki, the store manager of the explorer specialty store 'Dungeon Adventure' in a shopping mall in Toshima Ward, lay down on her sofa and remembered what happened today.

"Who on earth is he?"

 The person that comes to mind is a boy about the age of a High school student who completely destroyed the equipment made by her company. Although his face cannot be called handsome, it's well arranged, and his outfit was fashionable, incorporating recent trends.

 He said that he came to buy equipment and said that he would be diving into the D-rank dungeon from now on.

 It is unknown whether he is an E-rank or D-rank explorer, she had her subordinate bring out the right product for an explorer like that to try out, but as soon as he moved, all of his armor shattered, the weapon he held was completely destroyed, only the tip flew somewhere, it pierced the Mithril wall that shouldn't even be damaged by an average explorer's attack.

 Such an impossible sight spread in front of her.

 After he returned, she checked the performance of all the armor, but everything was fine other than what he broke.

 Of course, it was possible to provide armor of his rank or higher, but even D-rank armor is a fairly expensive item, and when it comes to C-rank, the price jumps further. She didn't think it was possible, but if such armor was destroyed, the damage to the store would be immeasurable.

 Even in this case, she knows that her boss will get very angry, but she doesn't know what will happen to her beyond that. Momoka naturally wouldn't go so far as to sacrifice her body for her job.

 What she couldn't understand more than his incomprehensible ability was what he took out of his bag as an apology for breaking the armor.

 It was magic stones dropped by A-rank monsters.

 A drop item that should never be taken out by an explorer who wants to dive into a D-rank dungeon.

 Where and how did he get such an item?

 He must be E-rank or D-rank, judging from his behavior. Of course, he cannot enter an A-rank dungeon. Even so, he showed 5 A-rank magic stones lightly. Yes, he put the magic stones in front of Momoka with a 'Pon' without any hesitation, as if he had more.

 He shouldn't be unaware of their value. Because it was a magic stone with a value that was not so different from the total damage amount of the equipment this time. Nonetheless, being able to pull out A-rank magic stones without any hesitation means that he has an easy and regular way to get A-rank dungeon magic stones.

"I should have at least asked his name ... Haa."

 Momoka now regrets.

 Although she is upset, she doesn't know who he is, but if he is such a promising person, she would like to make a connection. On the contrary, if he has that kind of power, she definitely wants his company.

 He's an explorer, and she knows he lives in this area, so she'll have another chance, it's not common for her to have only one chance.

 Momoka decides not to let him go.

"If I decide to do so, I'll have to make some moves."

 Getting acquainted with him is worth it for 'Dungeon Adventure', by extension, she needs to show that they're worth getting acquainted with.

 With a half-baked armor like this one, it will be the same thing all over again. So she had to prepare the highest rank armor. To do so, she has to somehow convince the upper management.

 For that purpose, information about the other party was indispensable.

"Hello, it's Jougasaki."

"..."

"Yes, there is someone I want you to look into. I wonder if I can ask you."

"..."

"Yes. Thank you. His features are ..."

 Momoka called somewhere and asks for the boy's investigation.

 That partner is the explorer she trusts most. She even thought there was no information that couldn't be collected for that explorer.

"I'll transfer the advance payment to the usual account. Yeah, that's it."

 When she finished the request and hung up, she threw her cell phone on the sofa, stood up, took off her clothes, and headed for the bathroom.

"I'm going to be busy from now on."

 Momoka took off everything and touched the bathroom door, and at the same time, she had a bewitching smile that couldn't be imagined from her gentle and neat face.
