The Rising of Tanaka in Another World

Chapter 44: (2)

A tale from the distant past, unrecorded in the history of man.

There existed a God.

And then, the God gave birth to a world.

It was truly an ideal world.

The children of God grew up under the love of God.

Their blissful time seemed as though it was going to last forever.

However, out of the blue, it easily crumbled down.

The God vanished, and a new age was born.

The ones who reigned over the world were the more than ten thousand apostles of God.

They managed to control the world on behalf of God, but that was the extent of what they could accomplish with their power.

They allowed the birth of void beings.

Their power, which could threaten even the apostles, devoured countless lives.

The apostles joined forces to seal the void beings along with the land where they were born.

Is this place that so-called sealed land-degozaru?

Yeah, it seems that magical energy gathers quite easily around this area. And because of this, its said that countless outrageous monsters have continuously been born here.

A few days northeast away from Mount Poterongo. Team Tanaka arrived at a place located at the exact center of the continent. The valley region, which looked as though cutting a hole in the hilly area, was spread out, with the place forming the basin shrouded in fog.

Team Tanaka was looking down on the basin from the cliffs that formed its boundary. Due to the fog, they couldnt see what kind of place it was.

Nevertheless, its very quiet here-degozaru. Let alone monster, I cant even sense the presence of any living being-degozaru.

Thats because this region is enclosed by barriers that were created with grand magic. Thats why, you cant perceive whats going on inside from the outside. To be honest, even I dont know whats going on inside either.

In front of the basin, Kaku-san continued his explanation, while Suke-san stared at the fog with great interest.

As for Tanaka, his face was drenched in cold sweat. If you looked closely, you could even see the shivering of his body. It ought to be because his spirit was burning due to the impending battle against powerful enemies.

There are three barriers erected here. In addition to the barrier that disguises its appearance, which I mentioned just a moment ago, there is also a barrier that distorts your perception, preventing you from entering or leaving. Its arranged so that whether you try to move from the inside to the outside or the other way around, your perception will be obstructed and you will eventually find yourself in your initial location.

Hmm.

It was probably because the barriers were created by the administrators. Kaku-san seemed a little proud.

Well, if theres only that much, theres the possibility of you accidentally stepping into or out of the area, after all. Thats why theres a need for the third barrier. If you erect a barrier that acts like a complete wall, youll end up creating a magical energy gathering spot like the ones in other areas, right? Thats why this last barrier was set up so that you couldnt go out from inside. As long as this barrier remains in place, the more magical energy accumulated inside, the more the barrier will be strengthened using that magical energy. Truly a fine creation!

Oh!

Tanaka, who had frozen in place as the two were chatting jovially on their own, finally opened his mouth.

In other words, what does that mean, Kaku-san? Are you saying that weve come here to hunt down those so-called phantom beast monsters, which the apostles or spirits or whatever they were from distant past could do nothing about?

Tanaka, who was radiating the smell of a little man three times the usual, inquired Kaku-san.

Exactly! Im from a different generation, so I dont know much about it. What do you say? Dont they seem pretty powerful?

I couldnt ask more for an opponent-degozaru.

W, well, I guess they are just barely on the passing grade. If possible, I would have preferred something that seems a bit more formidable, though. Ha, hahahaha!

Tanaka expressed dissatisfaction even with such an opponent. He was truly a man among men.

That was right, Tanaka, for his part, would have preferred a harder, faster enemy. While he was at it, a metallic enemy that was weaker and would run away at once, but leaving behind a very luxurious reward, would be ideal.

As the flow of cold sweat dripping down his face grew more intense, Tanaka fell into thought. Where did I take the wrong path, I wonder? he thought. Then he racked his brain furiously. In search of a way to solve this problem.

The spinning wheel inside Tanakas head began to turn. Inside the spinning wheel, two hamsters were running frantically. The increase in the number of hamsters was a mark of his growth upon overcoming the harsh trials up until now.

Eventually, he came up with the perfect answer in only a short period of time. The reason he was able to find the answer in such a short period of time was because he was Tanaka, a man gifted with a prodigious brain, who once fought a fierce battle in Othello against his relative who was in elementary school and narrowly missed victory.

However, both of you are overlooking something critical. This world perpetually seeks stability. Those who grow too powerful will be eliminated by the worlds corrective power. The reason why Im seeking absolute strength is to continue opposing such a world. Now that we have been marked by the world, it can be said that we are standing in a fate where we wont be able to escape. It is true that we may become stronger if we train within the barrier. However, while were swithin the barrier, the world will probably lose sight of us. Should that happen, the world, which seeks stability, will end up setting its sights on new prey other than us. Thats something we have to avoid no matter what.

For real?

Such a thing is.

The way to make themselves stronger was right in front of them, however they couldnt afford to cause victims due to their actions. As expected of Tanaka, a powerful and cool man overflowing with a sense of justice.

On the other hand, Suke-san and Kaku-san were surprised to learn about the truth of the world. They were truly playing along well in surprise.

Thats why, lets cancel the venture this time.

Tanaka gave a thumbs up with a pleasant smile. Thus, they lived happily ever after or so he hoped.

My bad. Ive gone and done it.

Huh?

A gust of wind suddenly blew past them. No, it was the force of the hole in the barrier that was trying to suck everything in.

Like a waste that was sucked in by a vacuum cleaner from the land of gentlemen and black tea, Team Tanaka ended up being dragged into the barrier.
