42-Chapter 2-15 Encounter with a dream

Now, all of a sudden, we have a problem! What state am I in now?

1, I'm sitting upright.

2. I am sitting on my knees and getting angry.

3, I'm sitting on my hands and getting very angry.

Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk!

The correct answer is 4, sitting upright with Lily and the others, and the lady is very angry~.

The cause is the beeping sound of Lily and her friends. The reason is that because the three of them did it at the same time, the sound was louder than I expected.

At first the lady was only angry at Lily and the others, but then she and the others made me look like the main culprit (well, I can't completely deny it), saying that Temma instigated it, and I was struck by lightning too.

'Temma! We're also a place to eat! What are you making me do!

'No, ma'am. I was just....

I don't need excuses!

Yes, I'm sorry!

This situation of not even hearing an excuse had been going on for some time now.

'Hey, hey, it's about time, right? It's not that I meant any harm to Temma and the others.

You shut up!

Yes.

The old man's covering fire was unsuccessful.

'I'm sorry, lady!

I didn't mean any harm!

I just wanted to feel better!

"'It's Temma's fault! Please forgive me!

Wait a minute, boys! I was just giving you advice!

'It's bad enough that Temma teaches you something extra!

'Yes! We just went along for the ride!

'Mostly, Temma shouldn't be out of this town!

That doesn't matter!

I saw such a rambling exchange.

You guys are killing me!

The lady's voice echoed through the city.

Incidentally, the fourth unit on patrol who heard the voice mistook it for an enemy attack because it was so powerful, and kept a vigil inside and outside the city all night long.

It was almost time for the date to change when they were finally freed. Without food, of course.

As I returned to my room, feeling terribly mentally exhausted and hungry, Shiroumaru peeked out of his bag and urged me to feed him.

I was too tired and tried to ignore him and go to sleep.

"Kuhn.

"Kuhnkuhn.

"Kuhnkuhnkuhn.

Shiroumaru began to make a worldly harmony.

'All right, just give me a minute.'

With that said, I fished around in my bag.

It's all raw meat, but that's okay.

The moment I said that, Shiroumaru started drooling. It's like Pavlov's dog (wolf).

I threw the meat of Rockbird and Boa into it and he ate it with great vigor.

''We'll have to think about securing your food........''　

While muttering that, Shiroumaru ate up the meat he threw in.

''It's early~, taste and eat some more...''

After filling his belly, Shiroumaru barked a single, wong, and then curled up and began to breathe in his sleep.

''Haa~, I guess we'll start our journey with securing food. Mainly Shiroumaru's........

As I said this, I went to bed too.

My desire for sleep seemed to be stronger than my appetite, and as I lay in bed, I fell asleep faster than I could feel my hunger and fell into a dream world.

When I opened my eyes a while later, I saw an endless white space in front of me.

''Well what a dream, let's go back to sleep.''

I knew it was a dream, but it seemed so boring that I tried to meditate on it.

Hey! Long time no see!

He called out to me. I opened my eyes and turned around.

'It's been 15 years, remember? It's me, the Creator!

The one who appeared before me was the God who brought me into this world.

'Long time no see. And goodnight.

'Yeah, oh no it's not! Wake up! Mr. Temma!

Me, being forced to wake up.

What do you want now? If you reincarnate him, won't you lose your involvement?

'It's not true. Every ten years or so, we are able to connect the dream world of the reincarnated with the space we have created. The number of people who can join us is limited, though.

The moment the Genesis God said that, a chill ran down my neck and my body started moving on its own.

''Tae-n-ma-chan! Chu.

It was the fastest and most optimal move I'd ever made in my life, including my last life.

Feeling a chill in my neck, I stepped forward as hard as I could and pulled the Genesis God to replace the position I was standing in. As a result, the Genesis God ended up embracing the god of war (gay man) who was about to hug and kiss me from behind. With the added bonus of a passionate mouth-to-mouth....

What are you trying to do, you idiot? Let's get out of here, man!

'That's my line! You faggot (god of war)!

Oh, Temma! Long time no see! I've missed you!

A skilled god appeared from the side.

''Yeah, it's been a while. By the way, why am I here?

On closer inspection, this place is similar to the space we were first brought to when we were reincarnating.

''This isn't where we met before, but consider it similar! So, the reason I called you here is that it's just a quick interview, so don't worry about it. Just think of it as a small talk or something.

That's how it goes... so how many of you are here today?　

When he heard that, the god of skill folded his fingers.

Me, those two and the Beast God, right?

Where is the Beast God...

Hmmm....

Oh, gosh, you scared me!

Before I knew it, he appeared behind me, sniffing desperately for a scent.

''It's been ... a long time.''

Hmmm.....

When I try to pull away, he sniffs at me with strong force. But unlike a faggot, it's not particularly harmful, so I give up.

So, what do you want me to tell you?

'Yeah, not really. I've been watching you for the most part, you know.

I was distracted by those words.

'Then you didn't have to come, did you?

Hey, she's not a girl. Hemma.

When I looked at the one whose voice I couldn't understand what it was saying, I saw the Genesis God with a battered and swollen face. The god of war who was dealing with him didn't seem to have received much damage.

''Fix your face for now. I don't know what you're talking about.''

Oh, no. Hey!

As I said this, the wound healed as he looked at it.

'You should've done that in the first place,'

To my word, the creator of the world.

That's pretty exhausting to do in this place.

And then he laughed, and suddenly he got serious.

To tell you the truth, Temma. If you don't, you will lose your mental and physical balance and eventually die.

He said in shock.

'Huh! What's that all about?!

As if to calm my excitement.

That is, if we don't do anything about it.

The way you put it, that means there's something to be done about it, right?　

After I had calmed down somewhat, I asked the God of Creation that.

'Yes! You could use this!

Challah challah challah~, 00~ (in the voice of the first generation), he took out what looked like two bangles from his pocket.

'What's that?'

This is a bracelet that suppresses Tenma's power. It doesn't mean that the current power is diminished, but rather that it is a tool that can be activated before Tenma's body can't withstand any more of it. I'm sure you'll be able to find out if you can easily defeat the ancient dragon class, or if you try your best to defeat the ancient dragon.

He's trying to sound like, "Do you understand, Noh-tah-kun?

'Isn't the fact that you might be able to defeat an ancient dragon enough of a monster?

And I can't imagine being called one of the strongest class of monsters in this world (except for God), like a slightly stronger demon!

"Actually, when you were reincarnated, everyone there was too excited and the highest predictive value of Temma's ability easily exceeded the strongest in human history. Moreover, the prediction value is increasing on an ongoing basis.

According to the story, the strongest I've ever had was an average ability value between S and S-.

My first prediction value was that the lowest was an S+, but now they say it's an SS.

''That's why we all made these bracelets. If you do this, as you grow, you'll somehow just barely fit into the human strength range.

After God the Creator said that.

...and this one too.

And the beast god held out three collars to me.

''What are these?''

...the god of skill.

Yeah, all right. Temma, let me explain it for you. This is something the beast gods asked me to make, and it can reduce the size of the household in which the collar is placed!

How about that! ''I'm sorry,'' said the Skill God, beaming with his chest along with the Beast God.

''That's quite handy. How much smaller can you make it?''

The size depends on the individual, but with Shiroumaru, it's about 1 to 1.5 meters. However, it won't have any effect on artificial life forms like Tanikaze or humans.

Plus, you'll eat less.....

It was more useful than I thought it would be. If the strength didn't change, I could get Shiroumaru out of the dungeon, and most importantly, it would save me money on food.

''Thanks, you two. I'll use it as soon as I wake up!''

They nodded happily at his words.

'Oh, I forgot to mention that those bangles also have a magic bag effect on them, so they can hold quite a bit of stuff! And when you wear it, it won't feel heavy, and even if you lose it, it'll come back to your arm with just a reminder.

And this was another great feature.

'Are you sure you want to get this stuff?'

'Don't worry. I've given them to the reincarnated ones from time to time in the past. Namitaro has one, too.

From then on, we talked about names I hadn't heard in a while, and before I knew it, it was time to wake up.

I'll see you later, Temma-kun. I'll see you sooner this time.

I was told that this bracelet even has the effect of making it easier to meet with the gods, and that I can use my abilities to the limit for a short period of time... well, I heard that it will be another two to three decades before I can activate it.

As I was exchanging greetings with the Genesis God, the Skill God, and the Beast God, the previously eerily quiet War God

'Temma, I really shouldn't be telling you this but your family is alone but alive.

For a moment I didn't understand what Takegami was saying, but then he said

'Who's there! Who is that? Tell me, god of war, who is it and where is it now!

I packed up with him.

Calm down, Temma! I'm sorry, but I can't give you all the details... and if I give you that much, it might be bad luck for that person...

Bushin told me the reason why he couldn't tell me the details.

It's something similar to the curse of the gods, the opposite of a blessing, he said, and it's like a system that makes it impossible for the gods to shoulder anything other than reincarnated people.

In the past, one of the gods had put too much on the shoulders of the reincarnated people, even the people involved, and as a result, all of the people involved had suffered mental disorders and most of them had died. The number of people involved was over a thousand. Furthermore, the god himself is said to have lost his power and disappeared.

They don't know the details, but they think it's either a defense instinct or a bug in the world to keep the god from adding more power to this world than necessary.

'So I'm sorry. That's about as far as I can go.

No, that's good enough for me. I'll take it from there. Fortunately, the next dungeon city we're going to is close to the royal capital, and adventurers from all over the continent will be gathering to seek out dungeons, so it should be easy to get information about them.

I thanked Bushin. And as I was shaking hands with Bushin.

Oh, I don't think I can take it anymore. Bye, Tenma. I'll see you later.

And then my vision was filled with white.
