“Au~. What should I do~…”
Kasumi rolled around on the futon. The problem was that her level went up more than she expected.
She joined this adventure out of curiosity, and firmly rejected the temptation of leveling up, but she did not expect her priorities to change because she wanted to adventure with her brother. It was a terrible result for the leader of a B rank team.
She felt bad about the others, but could not talk to her big brother about it. She felt he would laugh if she did.
She figured she should apologize right away, but after the battle ended the previous day, Aki could not let loose, so she took her to attack another hive. She received some instruction there, and having dinner together made them become closer, so she fell asleep not knowing how to apologize.
And the next morning, a honey party started and she went with them to investigate bee ecology in the afternoon, so she did not have time to properly think.
“But mulling it over forever will get me nowhere, and I can’t keep it a secret until they come there, so I’ll just apologize…”
And so, Kasumi opened a chat app for the first time in two days, and turned the microphone on.
[Kasumi]
Sorry for not contacting you yesterday! I have something I need to tell you, is now a good time?”
[Renka]
Yes, it’s okay!
We also wanted to tell you what’s been happening.
[Haru]
You’re on the fifth floor, right? We set up a tent on the fourth.
[Kasumi]
Really!? That was faster than I expected.
[Hazuki]
Being a part of your team means the branch manager of the 525 branch was kind to us.
[Irina]
We got to see important footage and documents.
[Izumi]
Renka and Hazuki were so excited about information on rare monsters.☆
Did you see it too, Kasumi?
[Kasumi]
Yes. Not all, but I saw things about this dungeon.
[Izumi]
I see.☆
Kasumi, I saw the videos, but I was curious about something. I feel like your brother’s power was all over the place. If he was just holding back, then I guess I’m just not that observant, but I feel like it was different on a fundamental level.
What do you think?
[Kasumi]
Hm… No comment.
[Haru]
Izumi. You shouldn’t ask about that.
[Izumi]
Nishishi. I see, too bad.☆
We’re exploring the dungeon as a way to take a break too, so we’ll see you tomorrow. What did you want to talk about?
[Renka]
Yes. What was it, Kasumi?
[Kasumi]
Hum…
I’m sorry, but accompanying my brother means I’ve encountered several rare monsters.
[Haru]
There was that incident the day before yesterday, and all that footage.
I guess that makes sense.
[Kasumi]
So yesterday, I couldn’t hold back and joined in, and my level skyrocketed… I’m sorry, I know we’re all meant to fight on equal footing!
[Izumi]
How much exactly?
[Kasumi]
From ninety-six to… Hum, one hundred sixty-five…
[Hazuki]
What…
[Irina]
In just a few days…
[Izumi]
Puh! Hahahaha!
What kind of strong things have you been taking down!?
Hii, my stomach hurts!
[Ranka]
That’s amazing, Kasumi!
[Haru]
I know you love your older brother, and I expected you to not be able to sit and watch forever, but that is more than I expected.
Did you take down that many? Actually, there are monsters here that can level you up that much??
[Kasumi]
Yes, let me explain from the start. First…
[Haru]
I see. So you received permission for us from your sisters-in-law.
[Hazuki]
Receiving some training directly from the team of an S rank adventurer! My heart also races!
[Renka]
I’m okay with it too.
It’s a little scary to level up easily, but I guess there’s no problem if they support us after that.
[Irina]
So we will finally meet him tomorrow… I’m excited…!
[Izumi]
Still, your big brother is generous. Normally people wouldn’t be so caring even if it’s their little sister’s team.
[Kasumi]
Ah… Actually, I don’t think they told him about it.
I think my sisters-in-law decided it on their own.
[Izumi]
Eh? Is that all right?
[Kasumi]
Yes, apparently it’s meant to be a surprise.
And since my sisters-in-law approved and my brother tends to be mild about that sort of thing, I think it will be all right.
[Izumi]
Normally this would be crazy, but if you say so…
[Haru]
I’m a little unsure, but I understand.
We will cross the fourth floor tomorrow while fighting, and should reach you around noon.
[Kasumi]
All right. I’ll tell the others.
See you tomorrow!
Kasumi left the tent and went in front of where the others were staying. It really did not seem like it belonged in a dungeon, and she sighed every time she saw it. Her eyes met Enki’s, who was at the entrance.
“Ah, Enki. Are you standing watch today?”
‘Goh!’
“Nice.”
‘Gogo~.’
She pat Enki’s smooth body, and Enki pressed its face like it enjoyed it.
“I need to talk to my sisters-in-law, can you call them?”
‘Gogo!’
Enki stood up and entered through the small door made just for it.
“Ah, Enki is so cute. I want to hold him like my brother does, but it’s really heavy…”
Carrying it wasn’t a problem after she leveled up, but she hesitated to put it on her lap.
The door eventually opened, and the girls came out. She secretly told them the meeting time she heard from her team, and they planned for the next day.
