Episode 355: Settled decision of the scenario
"I'm glad we made it in time."
"Yeah, that's right."
We return to the place where we were investigating, and after taking the explorer to the hospital from there, head for the Explorers' Guild.
As Nanami says, it is good that we made it just in time this time, but if we were one step late, the male explorer might have been killed.
"After all, if the Guild is used as a go-between, the response will be delayed."
"I suppose. However, we don't know until we get information from the Guild. Because of that, it's possible that the response may be delayed and become irreversible."
I agree with Amane's words.
No matter what we do, we can't move until there is a complaint such as that someone is currently missing or that they haven't returned from the dungeon.
However, if we hurry up and investigate afterwards, even if we investigate, it is possible that it will be too late by the time we get the information.
"If we can get the information in advance, we might be able to move on our own."
"Certainly. We have the means."
Amane replies. Certainly, we have the means to obtain information before such a last-minute situation.
I turn my gaze to that means.
"Won?"
My pet who tilts its head cutely. Of course, I'm talking about Luck's Kagema.
The number of Luck's Kagema are still increasing, and it has spread to the point where there is almost no place in the world where they cannot go.
With that, it should be easy to build a surveillance system inside the dungeons. If you keep an eye on dungeons around the world, you can protect them with Luck's Kagema before the worst happens.
That is certainly the ideal situation.
My father also went to a dungeon and never came back.
A long-term exploration of an unexplored dungeon with the utmost care and thorough preparation. It was said that there would be no problem at all with my father and the others.
However, only the party members other than my father returned after several months.
At that time, my mother and sister were really sad. The party members didn't say anything, and my mother must have wanted to question them, but she gritted her teeth and endured it.
Of course, I was confident that there was no way my father, who had been so easy-going, wouldn't come back. However, no matter how long I waited, my father never came back with a 'Yo~' and his usual smile. I was really sad at the time.
There shouldn't be any more people who have to feel that way. If I can prevent it, I definitely want to do it.
"I think it would be better to create such an organization. There will also be situations where it won't look good to be an individual."
"That's not a bad idea, either."
I nod while thinking about Amane's suggestion.
"That commitment, will you take it?"
"Eh!? Are you serious?"
When Amane hears my reply, she lifts the corners of her mouth into a grin while looking into my face. When I am suddenly told something unexpected, I am surprised and involuntarily raise my voice.
"That is, that's right. Did you think I was joking?"
Amane asks back in amazement.
Is that so. I certainly thought about it, and today was a lucky day, If I miss today, I don't know when I'll think about doing it next time.
This is the time. Should I try it.
I make up my mind.
"No, that's right. Let's make it."
"Understood. That being the case, Rei?"
When I mutter earnestly, Amane speaks to Rei as if it turned out the way they expected.
"Yeah, leave the procedure to me."
"What's that, you're pretty well prepared."
I am taken aback when Rei agrees with a smile.
"Originally, I thought it would be better to have such an organization. Fuhito-kun, with that being in mind, that's a timely offer."
Rei continues to talk while looking at me with a face as if she's looking at something interesting.
No, doesn't that make me look like the representative?
"You're not going to say that I'm going to be the representative, are you? It would be better for Rei to do that, right?"
I can't negotiate with the outside, and I can't even do business. All I can do is fight. It's impossible for someone like me to represent everyone.
"What are you talking about Onii-chan. The representative is the face of the organization, right? If it's a woman, you might be looked down on or treated roughly. That's why it's obvious that a man is better."
However, whether Nanami knows my feelings or not, she says things that are difficult to refute.
It's true that there is still such a trend. What Nanami says is correct.
"That's right. I'm mainly in charge of business and management, so how about that?"
Evidently the timing was decided from the beginning for Nanami to say that, and Rei suggests that it's fine for me to be just a decoration.
"Haa~ ... Alright, alright. That's fine."
I understand that this trend cannot be overturned, so I raise my hands and surrender, agreeing to become the representative.
"As expected of Onii-chan!! You really understand!!"
"Yes, yes. I just have to do it, right, I'll do it."
Nanami hugs me happily. As I walk, I pat Nanami with a 'Pon pon' in amazement.
"I'm sorry that it felt like I was pushing you."
"No, it's fine. It was something I wanted to do as well. If it all comes down to me being the representative, then that's fine."
"Thank you."
While we are talking, we arrive at the Toshima Branch of the Explorers' Guild.
