Chapter 3: (2)

First grab some clothes, then concentrate and try imagining yourself putting them into item box. Im sure youll get the hang of it once you give it a try.

Tanaka immediately picked up some clothes and concentrated. Then the clothes suddenly disappeared.

Oh! Its like a magic trick, just wow!

Tanaka was excited by the mysterious phenomenon that happened in front of his eyes. In contrast, the General was as calm as ever. He continued to give out instructions.Updated from novelb(i)n.c(o)m

If you want to check what is inside your item box, just imagine and you will get the image of it. And if you imagine yourself taking out something that is inside the box, it will come out.

Oh, I think I get it. All right, focus, focus.

Then clothes suddenly reappeared in his hand again. Tanaka got even more excited at the sight of it. Leaving such a Tanaka alone, the General moved to leave the room.

Looks like you can do it just fine. Im going to gather up other things that I think would be necessary for your journey then. In the meantime, as I said before, I want you to change your outfit and put the rest away.

Got it!

The General left the parlor again. Tanaka quickly took off his suit and got changed.

The structure of the clothes doesnt seem much different. Anyway, there dont seem to be any problems about it.

In reality, he was a little worried about getting dressed by himself. However, in the end he managed to change his clothes without any problems.

Now then, time for the long awaited storing! Haa, I guess I wont be wearing this suit anymore, huh.

He picked up the suit he had just taken off and sighed in melancholy. However, on second thought, he didnt have much attachment to his old life. He quickly stopped being bothered by it, and became absorbed in storing the clothes. Before long, he finished storing all of them. After that, as he had nothing better to do, he decided to kill time by taking things in and out of item box. After a while, the General returned to the parlor with various objects in both hands. The General then lined up the numerous luggage he had brought with him on the table.

Ive brought everything I think you may need. First of all, things to carry on yourself a short sword and a scent bag.

He picked up a short sword, still sheathed in its scabbard, along with a belt to attach it to, and a peculiar pouch

Oh, a sword. Im getting a bit more motivated now. But whats with this pouch? Somehow, I can smell a peculiar scent oozing out of it, though.

Tanaka got excited at the sight of the sword. However, he was on guard with the pouch which emitted a peculiar scent right after.

Its a monster repellent. It may not be very effective, but its still better than nothing. You can just strap it on the belt.

Tanaka put on the belt while listening to the Generals explanation. Then he attached the short sword and the scent bag on it. The General watched the scene with his arms crossed.

Hmm, it looks good on you. Well, thats about all for your equipment. Next is, Im going to explain the things you are going to take with you on your journey. You can begin storing the items that Ive explained.

Okey dokey.

Tanaka replied in good humor. The General began his explanation carefully one by one. Tanaka then stored the items that had been explained into item box one after another. There were quite a lot of them, but somehow he managed to safely store them all.

I suppose heres fine. Given the short amount of time we had, it was quite an ordeal, but weve somehow managed to pull it off, huh.

With a relieved expression, the General was delighted to have made it this far.

Sorry for the trouble, old man, in the end I could only rely on you for everything

Dont mind it, it was originally my countrys fault, after all. In fact, I feel bad that this is the extent of help I could offer.

Tanaka was truly grateful to the General. However, apparently the General felt that he hadnt done enough for him.

No way If I hadnt met you, old man, Im sure I wouldve met that miserable fate you told me before. Im really grateful to you.

Tanaka thanked the General with a serious look on his face. Perhaps to hide his embarrassment, the General decided to mess with Tanaka.

Then, come visit me once youve grown a bit and reached a proper level. At that time, lets have a drink together. Your treat, of course.

You bet, Ill get you enough booze to drown in! Thats why, old man, you dont have to worry about me. Just return and make sure to turn this place into a slightly better country.

Perhaps Tanaka was also feeling lonely for parting with him, he took the Generals teasing head on, and got carried away.

Hmm, what a cheeky guy you are Well then, take care.

Yeah, you too take care, old man!

As if to leave his loneliness behind, Tanaka energetically sped off. The General saw him off with gentle eyes.

The two had exchanged a small promise, but it was destined to never be fulfilled. Half a month later, the General would be imprisoned under a false charge, and then executed without a proper trial. And from then on, madness would begin to spread in Purin Kingdom bit by bit, until they eventually went on a rampage which engulfed the whole world. However, that was a story from the future.

Year 5963 of creation calendar, early summer, Tanaka took his first step in another world.
