“Fuwah. Another full day…”
Kasumi took a deep breath as she slipped into a futon. Her own smell got mixed up in it, but it still smelled like her older brother. She never expected her sisters-in-law to find her curled up in it and writhing the previous day, much less that they would console her rather than yell or laugh at her.
“That was so embarrassing…”
Could it be that she…
“Ah~~…”
She writhed again, and her smartphone suddenly vibrated, reminding her of something.
“I forgot again! The chat! So much happened yesterday, that I forgot and the team got worried!”
Kasumi opened a chat application, and under the last message she sent, there were the worried messages of her team. She felt bad about it, and turned the microphone on.
[Kasumi]
The S rank adventurer on the TV might be my big brother!!
I’m going to area one for a bit! Let’s extend our time off a while longer!!
[Kasumi]
I’m sorry I’m late!!
[Hazuki]
Ooh, Miss Kasumi.
I’m glad you are all right.
[Renka]
Kasumi! Finally!
I was really worried!
[Haru]
I’m glad you’re okay, leader.
Did you get hurt?
[Irina]
Miss Kasumi, where are you currently?
I want to hear your voice.
[Kasumi]
Thank you for your concern!
I’m okay. I’ve been adventuring with my big brother. But I can’t make phone calls on the last floor of the beginner dungeon, sorry.
[Irina]
I see, it’s too bad we can’t hear your voice. But I thank god that you are all right.
[Izumi]
Oh, hey Kasumi ☆.
Have you finally settled down? I’m your exclusive, so I contacted the 525 branch to learn what was going on, but it’s still reassuring to get your response ☆.
[Renka]
Ah! So you did know, Izumi!
Why didn’t you tell us!?
[Izumi]
Be quiet!
You and Irina panicked too much just because she didn’t contact for one day!
Learn from Hazuki and Haru.
[Hazuki]
Miss Izumi, don’t flatter me so, for I have a lot yet to learn.
Miss Kasumi’s absence caused a lot of concern, and I worried plenty on the inside.
[Izumi]
You’re fine. Just the fact that you’re not showing it is enough!
But you two are no good. I always tell you this, but you’re B rank adventurers, so be more dignified!
[Renka]
Buh.
[Irina]
…We did get too upset for just one day.
I’m sorry for worrying you, Miss Kasumi.
[Kasumi]
Don’t scold them too much, Izumi.
I think me leaving so suddenly didn’t give them time to prepare mentally.
[Izumi]
Geez, you’re too kind ☆.
[Haru]
So leader, was that S rank adventurer really your older brother?
[Kasumi]
Yes!
[Haru]
Congratulations. You must be proud of having a family member be an S rank.
But even if you were happy to see your dear brother after so long, don’t just go on an adventure with him without saying anything. You should have told us. You’re the leader, so don’t forget your responsibilities.
[Kasumi]
Sorry…
[Haru]
All right.
It’s not every day you fight with an S rank adventurer, but I think there are a lot of secrets too. Can you tell us what happened, even if it’s just what you can talk about?
[Kasumi]
Yes, okay! My sisters-in-law did tell me I could do that.
So, first…
[Kasumi]
He sure sounds like your brother. We don’t have information about that yet, but…
Everything sounds on a whole other level.
[Hazuki]
This is dynamism beyond common sense.
So this is an S rank. I must strive to improve as well.
[Haru]
You always praised your brother unconditionally when you talked about him, so I thought you were just unable to see clearly, but apparently I was wrong.
[Renka]
Hum, I don’t really get it, but he finds a lot of rare monsters? Isn’t that amazing?
[Irina]
More than amazing. He stopped a stampede and triggered this two days in a row…!
It seems god loves your brother as much as you do, Miss Kasumi.
[Kasumi]
In his case, I think it’s all down to his abnormal efforts… Getting back on track, regarding the effects of stampede suppression Irina mentioned.
This was a topic of discussion in area two as well, but apparently it does affect the drop rates of skill orbs.
[Hazuki]
Ooh.
Is that not a good opportunity for us to tap into our latent power?
[Haru]
The targets were the third floor and goblins on all floors, right?
[Kasumi]
And according to my big brother, the Luck necessary for drops has been halved!
I want to stay with him for a bit, and I have my sisters-in-law’s permission, so I was thinking it would be good for the team for everyone to come here.
[Renka]
I don’t know much about Luck, but I want to meet your big brother!
[Hazuki]
I would also like to see a current S rank…!
Surely such a meeting would help us grow.
[Izumi]
Your big brother?
So I can finally see a girlish face on the prim girl who says she has no interest in boys ☆.
[Kasumi]
I don’t make that face!
[Haru]
I wonder. I’m interested in that Luck discussion too, and our leader has already set the stage, so how about we go?
[Irina]
I’m for it.
Surely this is god’s will.
[Kasumi]
Geez! That’s not it!
…Hyah!? A-Aira!? Talk?
All right… Ah, sorry everyone! We’ll have to end it here today. I’ll contact you again tomorrow!
Bye!
