Awakening to a Special-Grade Explorer
Vol. 4 - Ch. 145 - 145

It had been 12 days since Ashuka's transfer to Mallorca and the meeting with Kujira, and not a day passed by when Tenji didn't dive into the dungeon for training.

He exploited any of the free time he found to fight monsters and gradually get used to his dramatically enhanced physical abilities he was blessed with as he slowly took steady steps toward becoming the first-grade explorer.

And today, 12 days later---Tenji had finally reached Level 7. He decided it was time to hit the home on the 3rd floor and left the dungeon. Fuyuki and Chisato were also there doing their exploration there but said he could leave first as they will train a bit more, so it was him alone making his way to the home.

He was walking on the familiar route with leisure gate when he heard someone suddenly addressing him.

"Hey, Kid! Do you have a minute?"

It was a sonorous yet gentle voice that suddenly made him recall the lemonade. Tenji turned around hearing that familiar voice and darted his gaze here and there, but eventually failed in finding the owner of the voice.

"Huh...not here?"

"Here, I'm here!"

Apparently, the voice was coming from above.

Tenji hurriedly shifted his gaze above to see a hulkish man looking at him from the fourth-floor window of an apartment building aligned with the street. ------To be more precise, it was a stern-looking middle-aged man wearing a plain, white T-shirt over his beefy body. On a closer look, wasn't he the same person from the mobile sales car who made those super-tasty lemonade?

Tenji was slightly confused to see his lively appearance here after a long while. He was sure he heard him saying how he was returning to his hometown back at Marseille when he met last time at the end of the year. So what was he doing here when it was already nearing the end of january?

"We met again, Mister! I thought you were going back to your hometown?"

"Actually, I have already visited it once. But, because it was a sudden shift, I still had some luggage left. And well, I alone had to come back due to that. What do you think, can you help out this old man? There's quite heavy stuff that I can't manage it alone. I will make some lemonade as service!"

"So that's why! Alright! I will be right there."

So, the lemonade Mister had already been to his hometown to check on his wife's physical and mental condition while leaving the luggage for the latter. However after going through the procedure of maternity ward and all, it was once again him alone who came back to finish the leftover task.

He was packing stuff on his own but obviously underestimated the work. He was just thinking 'how nice it would be to have some help' while overlooking through the window when he noticed Tenji strolling along.

Tenji was also excited to have lemonade after a long time and ascended the stairs with a light step. He pressed the intercom to the room and the familiar mister showed himself. The middle-aged man said with a wry tone while rubbing the top of his head.

"You're a lifesaver for real. I thought I could handle it all alone and didn't call the workers. Well and the result was this, the big furniture turned out to be a pain in ass."

"Ah~ that does happen, right! You thought you could handle it but it turned out to be heavy unexpectedly."

"You get it, right? Now if you excuse me, can you take that furniture to the first floor?"

"Leave it to me. But I want my lemonade later, alright?"

"Hmm, just wait. I will make the tastiest lemonade ever."

Saying that, Tenji entered the room and moved in front of the cabinet that Mister pointed out and casually reached out his hand for it. Mister also got on the opposite side of Tenji to help out in lifting but was stopped.

"Ah, I can do it alone."

"You can?"

"Don't go over my age Mister, I am actually an explorer."

"Oh~, so that's it......alright. Then please help me out."

Though he said that, Mister still harboured a sceptical expression. Well, an expected reaction. Contrary to how the words in streets were that explorers had exceptional physical abilities in contrast to ordinary humans, there were surprisingly only a small handful of people who had actually witnessed their superhuman feat.

Besides, the population of explorers wasn't much to begin with, which further added to the ignorance of ordinary masses.

Even in this Mallorca, most explorers only move around from 6th floor and above, so someone like Mister had never seen them fighting from up close.

Tenji murmured 'heave-ho' while feeling the implied meaning of 'do anything, just make sure you don't break them' in Mister's words and displayed his abilities by lifting the cabinet up.

Naturally, Mister's jaw dropped in dumbfoundedness seeing Tenji lifting it so effortlessly like he was holding a cup.

"......Goodness gracious. Didn't expect explorers to be this mind-boggling."

Mister murmured out his honest reaction in amazement.
