A Lonely S-Rank Explorer, Returning to His Student Days to Redo His Youth—It Seems the Strongest Loner Is Being Genuinely Loved by the Most Beautiful Girls in the School - Chapter 25: World War I

The day after going out with Hakari.

Although Yuito was asked by Hakari to “want to become stronger,” he wanted to do various preparations before entering the dungeon.

So, he asked for it, and they went out together with Hakari.

“…By the way, why is Kirika-san here too?”

“Hehe. Because Yuito-kun invited me.”

The difference from yesterday is that Kirika is also with them.

He was given a sulky look from Hakari as if asking for an explanation.

Yuito glanced at Hakari’s waist. There, a magic gun was hanging.

“Hakari-san, you use a magic gun, right? You’re the type of magician who uses a magic gun in battle?”

“…Yes, that’s correct.”

“I’m not very knowledgeable about magic, so I thought it would be better to consult with Kirika-san as well. I’m sorry. I should have informed you in advance.”

“…No, it was selfish of me to ask for your guidance. Please don’t mind it.”

“Exactly! Let’s train together happily, the three of us! Right, Yuito-kun!”

Kirika hugged Yuito tightly. A soft sensation enveloped his arm.

Yuito’s heart raced with a thud, but he desperately tried to maintain a calm facade.

Hakari also interact with this kind of distance, so it’s probably normal among friends.

――Rather, it would be strange to be concerned about it…

Of course, in reality, the distance is abnormally close, but Yuito doesn’t notice.

Yuito desperately keeps his eyes straight ahead, trying to distract himself from the sensation of the arm.

In the meantime, Hakari was glaring at Kirika with sharp eyes.

On the other hand, Kirika stuck out her tongue and said, “Tehe.”

“Kirika-san, isn’t that crossing the line? This is a war…!?”

“Yesterday, Hakari-chan monopolized it, so this much is fine, right?☆”

Such a conversation was exchanged with just a glance.

“…Alright then. Shall the three of us get along together?”

“Ugh, even you, Hakari-san…!?”

Hakari tightly hugged the arm opposite Kirika’s.

Yuito’s arm was buried in Hakari’s chest. The soft pressure with no escape pulls Yuito in.

Kirika also has a good figure, but an overwhelmingly heavy tank attacked Yuito instead.

(Don’t worry about it. Don’t worry about it… It’s not good to look at a friend with strange eyes…!!)

Yuito tries to calm his mind to withstand Hakari’s attack.

However, before Yuito could react, Kirika fell for the provocation.

She tightened her grip on Yuito’s arm. If she does that, the sensation will become even more vivid.

“Ugh… It’s not just about being big…!!”

“That’s the same as admitting defeat, right?”

“No way, I win in shape and feel!”

“Men are supposed to like bigger ones. Other options are just ‘extras’.”

“Hakari-chan, your knowledge is biased. It depends on the person! Yuito-kun should be different!”

“Then let’s ask Yuito-san directly. Yuito-san, what do you think?”

“…Yuito-kun?”

Yuito didn’t move an inch with his eyes closed.

Like a monk in meditation, he completely shut out external information and looked only within himself.

Of course, he wasn’t paying attention to the argument between Kirika and Hakari, nor to the soft sensation of their arms touching.

“Is he perhaps meditating? He seems completely oblivious to us…”

“Wow, he’s using his amazing skills in such a pointless situation again…”

“Wait, weren’t we just arguing over something really trivial?”

“Yeah, let’s just wake up Yuito-kun and get going…”

And so, with the referee’s retreat, the First Boob War came to an end.

Never start a pointless war again.

The men passing by were giving Yuito looks as if they wanted to shoot him.

After that, the three of them headed toward a massive building.

Above the entrance, the sign read “Macho Training Gym” along with “Defeat the monsters with ideal muscles!!”

“…Isn’t this a members-only ‘Explorer Training Gym’?”

“Is there something to prepare here?”

“Yeah. There’s something I want you to know first.”

With Yuito leading the way, the three of them entered the building.

It was an entrance area, with chairs and tables arranged like a hotel.

When Yuito turned his gaze towards the reception, he made eye contact with the receptionist lady.

At that moment, the receptionist hurriedly placed her hand on the intercom and started speaking.

It seems like she is making an urgent call.

By the time Yuito arrived at the reception, the call had already ended.

The receptionist was sweating nervously and forced a strained smile towards Yuito.

“Ah, Akizuki-sama… Thank you for coming today…”

“Um, I’d like to borrow the virtual training room with two guests.”

“Pl-please wait a moment. The person in charge will be here shortly… Ah.”

“Oh, Akizuki-sama!! Thank you for coming!!”

A muscular, brawny man bursts out of the elevator.

The gray suit, which looked like it might burst, was writhing due to the bulging muscles.

Normally, he would show off his cheerful macho smile.

However, in front of Yuito, it was strained.

The smile is strained.

“Um, president… It seems that Akizuki-sama would like to use the virtual training room…” 

When the receptionist called out to the muscular man, his muscles twitched slightly.

“V-virtual training room?! Could it be that Akizuki-sama intends to use it?! I-I’m sorry, but that facility was built for general use… It might not be able to withstand Akizuki-sama’s usage… The room, or rather, the entire building might get torn apart…” 

“…No, it’s not me who will be using it, but these two.”

“Huh? Ah, I see… In that case, I think it would be fine for them to use it!! Shall I guide you there?”

“No, I know the way, so it’s fine.”

“Understood!”

While glancing at the muscular man who was bowing deeply, Yuito held up his smartphone to the reception to complete the member authentication and proceeded.

While watching the muscular man who had been bowing deeply, they got into the elevator.

“I’ve seen that person on TV before. Wasn’t he President Machio? A former A-rank explorer who now runs several gyms, right?”

“He was really fawning over Yuito-kun, but… that’s not the same as VIP treatment, is it?”

“He looked at him like he was a dragon.”

Hakari and Kirika exchanged questioning glances.

Yuito gave a wry smile and answered.

“Back in the day, there were times when I couldn’t control my strength well… and I ended up wrecking the gym facilities and equipment a few times…”

“Those are facilities for explorers, right? I heard they are usually built to withstand even a dragon’s attack…”

“I wrecked them…”

“”…””

 Yuito’s confession left the two speechless.

They stared at Yuito with their mouths agape.

“The repair costs for the things I broke were covered by my master, but it seems that Machio-san has a trauma from that time… Whenever he shows my face, he comes rushing out… “

“Well, it’s no use being surprised by Yuito-san now, is it?”

“I might be getting used to this… and that’s a bit scary…”

The elevator carrying Yuito and the others ascended, filled with an awkward atmosphere.
