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

Episode 075 The Beginning of Everyday Horror

"Fuwaaa ..."

 It's a good morning today. I wake up to the sunlight shining through the gaps in the curtains.

"Zzz ... Zzz ..."

 Luck was carelessly exposing its belly languidly, and its sleeping face with a full expression.

 Indeed ... If it didn't have convenient abilities, it would at most be just a mutt ...

 Such a scene is cute though.

　-----------------------------------------

 Looking at my status for the first time in a few days, Five Senses and Intuition are likely to reach the upper limit soon. As far as skill increases go, I think everything will hit the counterstop today as far as the unconscious stuff is concerned.

 However, active movements are not improving as much as unconscious movements and sensations. Is it time to raise the level of my active proficiencies in earnest? Besides, I may want to look for other active abilities.

 For some reason, there is no information on the net, so I have to do everything by myself.

 By the way, this is really ...

 I had something to think about now.

 It is the hidden test for a person who was specially qualified in a certain extremely famous extraordinary manga.(TN:Not sure how accurate this sentence is ... sorry. Also, I don't know what it is referencing.)

 Isn't this just like that?

 Well, was that the case!!

 Mastering the skill levels must be a hidden test as an explorer.

 In other words, finding more active proficiencies and raising them to the upper limit is the position that should be reached as a minimum as a true explorer.

 I see. I got smarter.

 I decided to actively raise them to the upper limit, being conscious of active movements.

"Luck, what should we do today?"

"Won."

 Luck just wanted to house-sit, so I just left the room, I leave the dormitory with Aki.

 However, that person was waiting there.

"Good morning. Satou-kun, Sakura-kun."(TN:Hmm, she's using the kun(kimi) version as well, maybe it's the way girls say it? I'll stop with the (kimi).)

 The Student Council President, Hojou Tokine herself.

 Why on earth is this person here?

"Good morning!! Beautiful Chairman!! It's so nice to see the Chairman from the morning. It's going to be a good day."

"Good morning, Chairman. Is something wrong?"

 Aki is still the same, but I'm curious, so I ask.

"No, when I happened to pass by, I saw you, so I called out to you, right?"

 The chairman answers with an innocent smile.

 Is it true. However, I cannot prove that it is not a coincidence, so I shouldn't let down my guard.

"Is that so, are you going to school?"

"Right, would you like to join me?"

"There is no reason to decline. I understand."

 Although I doubted the Student Council President who cheerfully invites us, I accepted the proposal since I had no particular reason to decline.

 What on earth are you thinking?

"Well then, let's meet again."

"Yes."

"Please join us again, Chairman!!"

 With a modest lady-like hand waving, we separated from the Student Council President at the entrance. We arrived at school without any problems. We had a light chat along the way. There was nothing suspicious.(TN:Funny note, the word for 'lady' here can also mean 'pervert'.)

 Aki is still waving with a regrettable smile on his face.

 I was thinking she was angry and would retaliate for refusing to join the Student Council the other day, but it may have been my misunderstanding that I thought she was planning something.

 I shake my head at my unfounded worries.

"Hey, what's wrong? We'll be late for class?"

 Aki hurries me, who is lost in thought and forgot to change my shoes.

"Oh, my bad."

 I immediately gave up such thoughts and headed to the classroom. However, my unfounded worries were betrayed immediately.

 During class breaks, when I leave the classroom trying to go to the bathroom,

"Ara, isn't it Satou-kun?"

 I encountered the Student Council President.

"Oh, Student Council President, why are you in such a place?"

"It so happened that the teacher who was teaching the first-years had something to do."

"Well, then I'm going to the bathroom."

"Yes, I'm sorry."

 Have a short conversation and split up quickly.

 At lunchtime, when I tried to eat lunch with Aki and Shia on the rooftop, I met the Chairman again on the way.

"Oh, it's a coincidence again."

"Ahhh!! Chairman, are you also eating on the roof?"

"Yes, all of you as well?"

"Yes!! Would you like to join us?"

 In this way, lunch was to be eaten with the Chairman.

 The conversation that was exchanged there was ordinary daily conversation. But I was gradually starting to think it was strange.

 To reinforce that feeling, I ran into the Student Council President again and again during the day.

 Obviously suspicious.

 When I was heading home from school, I was ambushed for some reason, and she said, "Oh, Satou-kun, are you going back to the dormitory?"

 There was nothing special at that time either. However, only my distrust was increasing.

 The phenomenon escalated steadily, and the next day, after leaving the dormitory, the unnatural ambushes continued endlessly until the end of school.

 No matter where I go or what I do, the Student Council President insists that it's a coincidence when I encounter her.

"What a coincidence!! Satou-kun."

"Hiiiiii!!"

 I was scared because I didn't understand why the Student Council President was doing such a thing.

 This was the beginning of my horrifying school life.
