An Incompetent Explorer Who Failed to Make His High School Debut but Mastered Being a Human Being

Episode 027 Boss? No, It Was Just a Convenient Dog

 I'm not sure how long I walked after that, but I finally found the innermost place. The reason I found out was that there was an enemy who seemed to be a boss that gave off a stronger presence than the monsters so far.

[ The skill level of 'Hiding' has reached a certain level. 'Hiding' has improved by 40%. ]

 Because I was hiding and walking around, my skill level of 'Hiding' was over 4,000, and its performance improved by about 40%. It has come to the point where it is rare for the enemy to even notice I'm doing anything.

 Is it even possible for the enemy to find an explorer who is extremely hidden?

 As for the boss, when I looked inside while 'Hiding' as before, there was a black wolf that was overwhelmingly larger than me.

 As usual, I quietly go around behind it and slowly approach.

"Gururururururururu."

 However, when I was about two meters away, the wolf's gaze turned to me, evne though I was hiding.

 Oops? I was exposed??

I may have been a little off guard because I had never been found before now.

 However, to draw back here is sheer stupidity.

 I shake off my fear, kick the ground with all my might, and charge at the black wolf.

"Guoo!?"

 It was surprised at my speed, and the black wolf screamed strangely, but I didn't mind and slammed my fist with all my might.

"Kyaiiiiiiiiiiiiin."

 The black wolf that received my fist blows away screaming and pierces the wall.

 An explorer's punch is amazing!! Even such a huge body can be blown away.

 And it's the first time.

 After increasing my proficiency, every enemy burst with a single punch. But this black wolf is still here, keeping its original shape.

"I'm looking forwards to it!!"

 I lowered my body and then ran along the wall towards the staggering black wolf.

"Guooooooooon!!"

 When the black wolf opens its mouth after it notices my approach in an attempt to keep me away, a black flash draws a straight line towards me.

 I can't dodge at the moment as my body is in the air. Although I can't move much in the air, I twisted my body and tried to dodge, but the black flash hit my abdomen directly.

"Igyaaaaaaa!!"

 I cried out in pain ... Or so I thought. The black wolf also has a face that seems to be satisfied with my scream.

"Hmm? It doesn't hurt?"

 However, I was screaming, but the pain didn't come. I tried to check it by touching various parts of my body, but there is nothing wrong with me.

 The only thing I can see is that my jersey that was hit directly is torn.

"What, is it a mere show?"

 When I stared at the black wolf, the black wolf shook its head.

"Are you giving your all?"

"Guooooon!!"

 When I asked, the black wolf growled and shook its head vertically.

 Was it actually serious?

 It's not good to be so big but weak!!

"Okay, do you want to do it more seriously next time?"

"Kuuuuun."

"It's not possible? Don't complain! You're a proud wolf!"

"Guooooooon!!"

"That's more like it, like that."

 The black wolf finally gets motivated when I instigate it.

 It has a face that it doesn't want to fight anymore, and I feel like it's crying, but I think it's probably just my imagination. Because it's a wolf, it shouldn't be that timid.

"Yeah, come on!"

"Guoooooooon!!"

 The black wolf slams into me. I received it without doing anything.

 The black beam didn't do any damage so I wanted to give it a try.

-Dooooon

 A shock runs through my body.

 When my body struck against the ceiling, the momentum didn't subside and I bounced and blew away while hitting here and there. When I finally thought I stopped, a black shadow appeared from above, and sharp claws were swung down.

-Baki

 My body sank into the ground. As the forefoot slowly lifts, the dungeon dimly shines.

"Yeah, there was no damage. The defense power is strong, but the attack power is not good."

 When I put a lot of effort into my buried body, the ground around me got cracked and my hands and legs sunk in, so I raised my upper body and jumped out with just the power of both hands, checking my body all over.

 There seems to be no injury anywhere. Instead, my clothes are all tattered.

"Kuuun ~"

 The black wolf makes a frightened gesture at me when I climb out. It hides its tail by sandwiching it between its legs.

"This time it's my turn!!"

"Guooooooooon!!"

 When I started running without asking questions, the black wolf with teary eyes also started running and the distance got closer and closer. When the black wolf came into melee range, I jumped like a bullet and tried to hit the black wolf.

 But my fist hit empty air.

 Because the black wolf was lying there showing me its belly.

"Hey!! Why don't you fight!!"

"Kuun, Kuuun."

 After I landed, when I yelled and approached its large face, the black wolf shook its head.

"What? You don't want to fight?"

"Won."

 The black wolf shakes its head to my question.

"I guess I'm weak to wolves."

"Won Won!!"

"That's wrong? No, it can't be helped if I feel weak if you show such a figure. It can't be helped. I can't beat you if you don't feel like fighting. But can I go home without defeating you?"

 The black wolf protests against me, but its pitiful appearance is completely unconvincing.

 What should I do after this ...

 I think the only way to get out of the dungeon is to beat it, but it doesn't want to fight anymore.

"Won Won."

"What? Stroke your head? Hmm ... I don't know, but it can't be helped."

 While I was worrying, the black wolf begged me to stroke its head, so I stroked its head as the wolf wanted.

[ The skill level of 'Stroking' has reached the upper limit. Evolved into 'Caress'. ](TN:Guess Author forgot their format for this evolution, should have said stroking evolved into caress.)

 For some reason, my skill level reached the upper limit and it changed to caress after just stroking it once.

 Caress is something obscene.

"Guooooooooon!!"

 After stroking evolved into caress, I continued stroking, and a black light appeared as if wrapping me and the black wolf.

[ BlackFenrir has been Tamed. Please give a name. ] Anna's voice echoed in my brain.

 You can tame a monster by stroking it. The monster tamers also tame monsters like this. How peaceful and full of love!

 Aside from that, it needs a name, or rather, it was tamed without permission ...

"Kuun ..."

 It looks apologetic, but if this is the only way to escape, it can't be helped.

 What kind of name should I give?

 It's easy to say 'Kuro' because it's black, but it's too much like 'Black'.

"Hmm ..."

 I strugle with my arms crossed trying to wrack my brain for the name of the black wolf.

 Is it BlackFenrir? It failed to live up to its name, with being so weak.

"Then you're lucky because you weren't killed by me, so it's 'Luck'."

"Won!!"

 The black wolf barked as if it liked the name, and shook its huge tail happily.

 The figure looked like a mere dog.

[ The naming is complete. Luck has become a subordinate monster. ]

 As soon as Luck barked, Anna's voice echoed again, and Luck formally became my subordinate monster. Once certified as my subordinate monster, a shining magic circle appeared in the back of the room where Luck was.

 It's a return magic circle.

 I see. Is it that the magic circle appeared after being certified as 'subdued' by making a subordinate contract?

"Then, should we go home?"

"Won!!"

 The giant wolf follows me.

 As expected, if it's this size, an explorer might be okay with it, but ordinary people will still be surprised, and in the first place, I can't keep a subordinate monster in the dormitory.

"Can you become a little smaller or hide somewhere?"

"Won!"

 When I asked about it, it barked confidently.

"Oh!! Great!!"

 The next moment, the size of Luck became smaller, about the size of a large dog. After that, it went into my shadow, and once it put its whole body inside, I thought that I couldn't see it, and it just popped out its face.

 This guy is cute when it gets smaller.

 But surely it's okay to take it with me to the dormitory if I can keep it in my shadow forever.

"Won Won!!"

"What? Send you my luggage? What the hell is that?"

 It came out of the shadow and poked my backpack with its nose, and I took off my backpack and handed it to Luck.

"Won!!"

"Seriously!"

 At the same time as Luck barks, the backpack placed on the shadow sinks into the shadow. Luck grabbed it and put it in and out and explained it to me.

"In other words, you can carry my luggage in the shadow as well as yourself?"

"Won!"

 To my guess, Luck barks with a smug look on its face that says it's true.

"If this makes it easier to carry my luggage, it's worth making you a subordinate monster."

"Won!!"

 Luck barked happily as I stroked its head and complimented it.

 It's cute and charming.

 I've never had a pet, but I hvae to take good care of it.

"Then I'll head back this time!!"

 I call out to Luck while renewing my determination.

"Won!!"

 When I saw Luck dive into my shadow, I got on top of the magic circle.
