After defeating the demon king in another world and returning to Japan, a dungeon appeared on the ground. - Chapter 100

Chapter 100

After that, the man I’d saved, Emiyu, bombarded me with all sorts of questions.

Name, age, explorer experience, explorer history, explorer rank, and so on.

Just wanting to be free of this as soon as possible, I answered all his questions quickly and efficiently.

Throughout, Emiyu kept his device pointed at me, as if he were recording the whole thing.

From time to time, every so often, he mumbled something about “concurrent viewers” or whatever.

I had no idea what that meant.

At long last, Emiyu’s machine-gun-like questions came to an end. Exhausted, I let out a deep sigh.

“Wow, so you’re still in high school, huh? That’s amazing, Ando!”

Emiyu patted my shoulder as if we were some old friends.

He was being a little too close, to be honest, it felt a little too  … annoying. Moreover, from the beginning to end, he felt like hyping things up like a TV talent, almost like he was forcing himself.

Is he trying to become a character?

I had no clue.

Either way, I wanted to get out of here and focus on completing my quest asap. I’d already taken down one ogre while saving Emiyu, but I still had nine left to hunt by the end of the day.

“It’s about time I get going. I have a quest to complete by the end of the day, and I don’t want to incur a penalty.”

“Oh, got it! My bad, my bad… by the way, can I ask what’s the details of the quest you took?”

“Hunting down ten ogres.”

“Ten ogres?! That’s insane! Being the only intermediate explorer, tackling a quest that hard… are you sure you’ll be okay, won’t it be quite hard?”

“I’ll be fine. Anyway, I’m heading off.”

Realizing that he’d never let me go if I didn’t just walk away, I started heading off without waiting for his response.

“Ah, please wait up! I’ll coming along too!”

“…?”

And then, as expected, Emiyu hurried after me, still clutching his device.

“Nope, rather why are you even following me?”

“Come on~, I finally met such a strong explorer you know! Isn’t this natural!”

“The deeper we go, the more dangerous it gets. You turn back right here.”

“No way, no way, that’s not happening at all! If I miss out on this, I might as well quit as a streamer!”

“Strea-mer…?”

“Ah, it’s just my private matters~.”

“…I don’t know what that means, but I won’t necessarily be save you from next time on. Just so you know.”

Hoping to scare him off, I said that half as a threat. But Emiyu just wouldn’t back off.

“No problem, no problem, go ahead, by all means! I’ll just follow from behind, by my own liability.”

“…Fine.”

Realizing immediately that I can’t shake him off no matter what, I gave up and decided to let him tag along, with a ‘whatever happens now, doesn’t matter’ feeling.

“Alright! Ok then! Let’s get going, shall we…!”

As usual, Emiya, still holding his device protectively, led the way.

With a feeling like a hard throbbing headache, I resumed my way deeper into the dungeon.
