Chapter 36: (3)
Fuhahahaha, what fools! Did they think brute force could ever beat shrewdness? Wisdom and power, flexibly utilizing them both while adapting to the situation is the essence of fight.
He then splendidly landed on the side of the ice block.
But still, it kind of gets in the way, huh Ha!
Tanaka raised one hand and let out a cool spirited roar. Of course it was nothing but an act, as he had no need of performing such a thing. He invoked Levitation and sent the lump of ice flying into the sky beyond the horizon in no time at all.
If Im lucky, everything should be alright. Phew, looks like Ive grown quite skilled myself, huh.
A man who was kind to himself while harsh on others. That was Tanaka.
Well then, is everyone alright?
Tanaka checked his surroundings. The beastmen were dumbfounded by the bizarre events that had occurred before their eyes. Seeing this, Tanaka fell into thoughts. Having lived for so long in the shadow after the ruin of the kingdom of demons, their hearts wouldnt melt so easily. Especially given the fact that the treatment of demi-humans in the Purin Kingdom was particularly bad, from what he heard. Putting that into consideration, this event was most likely locked at this place
I guess this is as far as it goes, huh.
Tanaka flipped his cloak as he was about to make his leave. However, he suddenly stopped.
Listen well. To the distant east of this land. There is a woodland beyond the mountain range on the border of the Purin Kingdom. If you go north from there, youll see a town a distant away from the woodlands. Its the town of demon.
The town of demon.
Tanaka walked through the forest. Suke-san and Kaku-san promptly appeared and converged with him.
How did it go?
Did you settle everything safely-degozaru?
Tanaka didnt stop his legs.
Damn it. My plan should have been perfect there. But it turned out to be more difficult than I expected. This time, I could only pin my hopes on the off chance that everything I did here would lead me to a rare linked event.
That was right, Tanaka had yet to give up. The environments the beastmen had been living at for a long time. Taking that into account, he judged that the chance of kyakya ufufu events being triggered was nigh impossible. And time was a necessary factor for their hearts to melt. That was why he led them to the future. He invited them to the Nanashi town and pinned his hope on the time-based event. Tanaka had already saved them. Then, all he had to do now was wait for their hearts to heal. If he lived alongside them in the town, for sure events would eventually happen sooner or later. That nice, buxom girl would definitely crawl on him at night. Tanaka continued to press forward, telling himself that he should be satisfied with that much for the time being.
What a terrifying man he was. As he managed to calculate and carry out so many things in such a short time. His wisdom might be on par with the world itself.
Phew, nevertheless, this country is simply too rotten, isnt it? Geez, what the hell is old man doing.
He nostalgically recalled his benefactor. He was supposed to treat him to some booze, but there Tanaka was brewing a plan to use this matter as an excuse to have old man treat him some booze instead.
Year 5964 of the creation calendar, summer, a strange incident occurred in the western part of the Purin Kingdom. The forests scattered throughout the western wasteland area. The beastmens settlements located in said forest had been deserted. The western areas economy, which consisted mainly of trading beastmen as slaves, suffered a serious blow. The kingdoms garrison was dispatched to investigate the area, but they failed to discover even a single beastman. This strange incident was the catalyst for a major incident that would occur in the kingdom that year, but no one was the wiser as of yet.
