"Miki, what kind of god do you get the blessing from?"
Miki, sitting shallowly on the sofa, changed his expression from his previous flirtatious one to a serious one.
"It's from the God of Shame.”
"What special abilities do you have?”
"I can turn my embarrassment into a shield.”
"Embarrassment?"
"Yes. The more embarrassed you are, the more powerful the shield will be. It was through the power of this blessing that I was able to achieve the status of Top Explorer as a tank..."
Miki looked at me in anguish.
"Is there a problem?”
"Yes. Lately, I don't feel embarrassed no matter what I look like. In fact, I feel a bit elated, and the power of the blessing is getting weaker and weaker."
W-what the hell is this guy saying in front of the public? Isn't he embarrassed? No, he's not embarrassed, is he?
When I found out that Natsume was not here, I talked to Mochizuki, who was looking bored.
"Is Miki's blessing shield so important in conquering the dungeon?"
"Yeah, it's important. In the deepest part of a dungeon, monsters can really come from anywhere, and they can also target you from a distance. Miki's shield can automatically prevent that from happening, including all of our allies."
"And now?”
"The shield broke too early. We had to suspend our attack on the 20th floor."
Miki looked gloomy at Mochizuki's words. I'm not sure if they are relying on Miki that much, but it's probably unavoidable in a hastily formed team.
"I've heard that Negishi-san has the skills to solve all sorts of problems for Explorers! Please allow me to regain my sense of shame!"
Whatever kind of pervert this guy is, his problem is that he's suspended from attacking the Shinjuku dungeon.
"I understand what you're saying. There are some conditions, but I'll help you as much as I can."
"Really? Thank you very much! So, what should I wear?"
"...Well, you can keep your outfit as usual for the time being."
Miki's expression was gloomy as she heard my words. This is a serious matter. He doesn't have a shred of shame. I took out the Hirakishinken from my magic pouch and placed it on the parlor table.
"Now I'm gonna have you show me the deeper side of yours. Slide your finger over the tip of this sword."
"...Yes. Thank you very much."
Miki's memories flowed in.
