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

Episode 088 It's absolutely not deliberate

 When we arrive upstream, we can see tents and people here and there. It's a little-known spot that everyone in the know knows, so it's only necessary to call it 'Here and there', but considering the places made open to the public during this season, you have to bear in mind that they will be tightly jam-packed, so I think this place is heaven.

 I feel like there are a lot gazes piercing me, and I'd like to say loudly that they're my sister and my boss. However, if they look at my sister with strange eyes, be prepared that they will not be able to worship tomorrow's morning sun.

 Surrounded by cliffs and forests, this riverbank offers a calm space that cannot be experienced in the city. We dropped the camouflaged tents and backpacks on the ground in an empty space and took the tents out of the bags.

"I'll put up the tents, so the two of you can play and have fun."

"Hmm. I'll help."

"Me tooo."

 They both try to help, ignoring my suggestion.

 Shia aside, Nanami is cute, but doesn't have much capability.

"Nanami should play with Luck. It will be over soon."

"Okaaay."

 Nanami trudged her way over to Luck.

 It's nice to be able to keep Luck out here because the surrounding eyes are irrelevant. If we stayed with Luck at the other place, we might be told where to keep it.

"Let's set up quickly."

"Hmm."

 After seeing off Nanami's sorrowful back, Shia and I immediately set up. The setup was completed in no time because we had fairly expensive and highly functional tents.

 Meanwhile, at that time, Nanami was having fun playing by tossing a ball for Luck. Luck runs lightly, catches up with the ball's landing point, jumps nicely and catches the ball with its mouth. It is quite restrained in order to spend time like a dog.

 However, the surroundings were stunned by the situation.

 Because Luck is a monster, it has physical abilities that are incomparable to a real dog. But they must think it's an amazing dog because it looks completely dog-like ... maybe.

"Nanami ~ !!"

"Ah, yeah!!"

 Since the setup is over, I call Nanami.

 For some reason, some men sent me a murderous look. I think they were probably watching Nanami playing with Luck.

 Aah?

 Well then.

 You know what happens to someone who turns his wicked feelings towards Nanami, when I glared at them, everyone looked away from me.

 Apparently everyone seems to be ordinary people. They look away if I so much as look at them. Apparently we can spend our time with peace of mind.

 I was relieved that there seemed to be no explorers on this riverbank.

"Do you want to fish?"

"I'll try it."

"Hmm."

 After finishing the preparations, we decided to try fishing, which is the real pleasure of the river. Fortunately, such goods have already been purchased. When I bought camping equipment for the dungeon, I thought that I might be fishing, so I asked the clerk to choose it appropriately.

 With just three people, there are enough fishing rods to have one fishing rod each, so everyone can enjoy fishing.

"Then these are the fishing rods for Nanami and Shia."

"Yay."

"Hmm."

 When each of them receives a fishing rod from me, they happily hold the fishing rod and rejoice. Shia's ahoge also jumped like a frog with a 'Pyon pyon', representing Shia's emotions.

"And this is the bait."

"Yes."

"Hmm."

 Aside from Shia, Nanami is a little weak with insects, so I decided to use paste bait this time.

 I don't know what is nearby, so we stay near the tent, I leave Luck in the tent and let it home-sit, we climb to a place where rocks pile up, and decide to hang the fishing lines from above.

 Since it is the countryside, when you look into the river, the water of the river is clear and you can see through to the bottom. I saw fish swimming in the clear water. What can be seen from here can also be seen from there as well, we may not be able to catch them, in that case, I think it's one of the pleasures of fishing.

 We spread out leaving a certain distance from each other, put bait on the hook, swing the rod properly and hang the line. Nanami and Shia also copied me and we threw our bait in together.

"Hmm!!"

 Surprisingly, Shia was the first to get a bite. When she pulls her rod up and it bends, the fish can't resist, and is pulled out of the water at once, falls to the ground, and flops around.

"Got fish."

"Muu!! I won't lose!"

 Nanami burns with rivalry towards Shia who lifts her line and shows off the fish, and throws her line that was pulled back once.

"It's heeeeere!"

 A few minutes after Nanami tossed her line. Nanami shouted.

 Apparently she got a bite.

 Nanami uses her small body to the fullest to pull up the fish that pulls the line. I was a little worried, so I let go of my fishing rod and ran to Nanami.

"Heavy ~!!"

 Nanami is trying to pull it up, but the rod doesn't go up because the fish is desperately resisting.

"Do your best Nanami!!"

"Toryaaa!!"

 Maybe my support was the trigger, Nanami shouts and pulls up the rod with all her might. A fine fish was hanging at the end of the hook.

"Yippeeeeee!!"

"Good job, Nanami!!"

"Fuwaaaaaaan!!"

"Oh no!!"

 To compliment Nanami who caught the fish, I released the newly sealed 'Caress'. As a result, Nanami sank on the spot while making a charmed expression.

[ The skill level of 'New Caress' has reached its limit. 'Caress' has evolved into 'True Caress'. ]

 Anna's voice echoed in my brain, as if mocking me while I was at a loss.
