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

Episode 020: Being watched

 Almost all the dormitory students gathered after enough time. Besides us, some classmate-like dormitory students fill the seats around us. Besides me, there are four men and five women.

 Considering this number of people, I unexpectedly overcame a high hurdle.

 After all it may be awesome.

 Among the girls was that Katsuragi-san. It seems that there may be some reason, but it's really awkward because of today's events. Katsuragi-san may not care because she already said she forgave me, but I am very concerned.

"It looks like everyone is ready. We are going to have a welcome party for new students. The dormitory mother of the men's dormitory, I, Tachibana Kasumi, will be in charge. Thank you."

 When the seats were almost full, Kasumi-san stood on the left side of the open space at the back of the cafeteria and started talking. Although her voice isn't loud, it echoes throughout and is easy to hear.

"First of all, a greeting from the representative. Hojou Tokine-sama."

"Yes."

 The student council president stands up and stands in front of the whole cafeteria.

"Welcome to everyone. It's the first time I've seen the new dormitory students. I gave a formal greeting at the entrance ceremony, but I'm not going to be that stiff here. High school life only happens once in your life. Enjoy the youth of crying, laughing, and High school without regrets. We're teenagers. It's okay to have a big love. I don't know if that love will come true, but it will surely be a source of nourishment for everyone. Also, this school puts a lot of effort into training explorers. Dungeon exploration is high. The higher the rank, the more difficult it is to explore alone. Here, there are colleagues who have the same power and have different roles from your own. If you can trust each other in your school days, it will carry through when you become an adult. They'll be an irreplaceable friend, and those who live under the same roof in this dormitory could be your closest friends. Make a one-of-a-kind bond at this school. Please enjoy your student life without regrets. This is my representative greeting. Thank you."

 When the student council president finished her greeting, she returned to her seat.

 The entrance ceremony greetings were certainly stiff and boring, but the current greeting was simple and based on experience, and although the words are heavy, they are not too serious and the content touched my heart.

 Her smile during the greeting was kind, and her expression showed it. I think that the student council president who was sharp at the entrance ceremony is also cool and attractive, but I think that the current chairman is also very attractive.

 The dormitory is a relatively small gathering of about thirty people in total, so it may be that the contents were prioritized over the formality.

"Ufufu."

 The chairman's eyes met mine with a tremendous smile.

 Why are you looking at me? No, no, is that it?

 You don't know my secret, right?

 I'm scared, I'm scared ...

 I was almost deceived.

 That person is a dangerous person with a stalker temperment.

 Don't be fooled by her speech.

 After that, the welcome party went smoothly, and it was time for food and chat.

"Let's introduce ourselves lightly!"

 At the word of Aki, we new residents introduced ourselves to each other.

"I'm Satou Fuhito ... My hobby is to train my body. Thank you."

 I failed once, but this time I was able to calm down and introduce myself safely.

 The boys other than me and Aki, Ayatsuji Shin, Raidou Yaiba, Nanbu Daisuke, those three.

"Nice to meet you, Fuhito-kun."

 Ayatsuji has a cute appearance that can be said to be a girl, and it can be seen that he will captivate beautiful onee-sans. He has a loud voice and I can't help but wonder why he is a man. Is he the so-called 'otokonoko'? In reality I have never met a man that looked like a girl.

 Ayatsuji also has an explorer aptitude.

"Nice to meet you."

 Raidou, in contrast to Ayatsuji, is rugged. He is over 190 cm tall and has a suitable figure. He is a type similar to Inoue and Yamanouchi, but Raido is suitable to be called a 'silent warrior'. He has a presence like a sword, and the aura of a strong man overflowed from his entire body.

 He also has the aptitude to be an explorer and will dive into the dungeon for more strength for training.

"Nice ta meet ya, Fuhito."

 Nanbu has a Kansai dialect and is a humorous guy. He's a thin, stooped type that seems to be agile. I'm not good with him because he's always smiling, he doesn't show his emotions, and I don't know what he's thinking.

 Katsuragi-san's facial expression doesn't change much, but her emotions still appear in her facial expression. Unlike her, who originally finds it hard to express emotions, he just intentionally chooses to do so. So I think I can't help but be wary.

 He also has the qualifications to be an explorer, and it seems he will start exploring the dungeon aiming for a lot of money.

 The girls other than Katsuragi-san, Andou Suzu, Sorajima Airi, Sumeragi Hoshino, Takanashi Satori, Shinonome Rin, these five people.

"Nice to meet you ~ ♪."

Andou-san is a small girl with a bob-cut like a small animal. She has a short stature and an infant figure that can be said to be an Elementary school student. She has a friendly personality like a pet and with her body shape, she already seems to be a mascot.

 However, when viewed from my side, that personality seems to be a pretense. This is just my intuition, but I think she might be a bit more black-hearted.

 She is also qualified as an explorer, and it seems she is planning to invite someone to form a party and steadily explore the dungeon. I don't know if that's the truth.

"Nice to meet you!!"

 Sorashima-san is a girl with short hair and a healthy skin color, she is the so-called track and field girl. She has a very fluffy personality and she is fine. She feels like a loyal dog that makes you miss her.

 She's pretty defenseless and her jersey's zipper is open, it's poisonous to see her bare skin peeking from the edge of her clothes. I felt an unpleasant gaze from another direction, so I tried not to look at her as much as possible.

 She is qualified as an explorer and seems to want to dive into the dungeon to find delicious ingredients. Even now, she put an amount of food on her plate that I do not know where it is in that slender body she can fit all the food and is eating heartily.

"I'm looking forwards to working with you in the future."

 Sumeragi-san is a person who feels like a shrine maiden. She has long black hair that is tied to one side. She seems to embody the words 'neat and clean', and she has a quiet and very calm atmosphere.

 Besides, she is sitting straight, and her completed posture seemed like she does some martial arts like a thunderstorm. I don't know what kind of martial art she does, but I think this person is quite strong, unlike her appearance.

 She is also qualified as an explorer and says she will dive into the dungeon to fulfill her duty of defeating monsters. She is a very serious person.

"Regards ~."(TN:Yoro~)

 Takanashi-san is a girl with an ennui atmosphere. She has wavy bob-cut hair, her sleepy eyes and a worn-out jersey exaggerate her sloppiness and dullness, creating her unique atmosphere.

 Like Sorashima-san, she is indifferent to people seeing her skin, and you can see her skin peeking through her jersey, which is not good for mental health. However, unlike Sorashima-san, you get the impression that she doesn't care if she was seen, rather than not noticing.

 She has the qualification as an explorer, but she says that if there is someone who can take her and do all the trouble, she will party with that person and dive. Quite a strange person.

"Nice to ... meet you ..."

 The last one is Shinonome-san. She has a very weak personality, and despite the small number of self-introductions, she spoke in an almost inaudible voice, and when she heard the greeting returned, she was startled in fright, she's such a timid girl that it was difficult to return her greeting.

 She seems to be the type that makes people feel painful because she is too nervous and it upsets people's nerves. As she gets used to us little by little, we may want to be a little careful.

 She is also qualified as an explorer, and it seems she will try to conquer the dungeon. Obviously it's not her own will from her words and actions, but she doesn't have the will or power to disobey, and she has to do what she is ordered.

 The aforementioned members are all new students and dormitory students. They are quite unique.

 Even so, they didn't come by the recommendation of a famous explorer, so it should be a general public frame, but I feel some intention behind having everyone other than me being an explorer.

 When I looked at the student council president again, she turned to me and gave me a broad smile.

 I had cold sweat run down my spine.
