Guys, Lets Seize It. The Supreme Throne

In the central part of the Purin Kingdom, Mount Poterongo loomed majestically amidst a hilly region. At the moment, an unusual phenomenon was taking place there. From a distance, it looked as if a thick black fog was encroaching the foot of the mountain.

The true identity of the mist was a flock of bird-type monsters called Haichou. This verdant land had been the habitat of said monster birds since time immemorial. However, for the Purin Kingdom to have an eye on this region for its large amount of timber and abundant land, it could be said to be just a matter of course.

It was about ten years ago from the present time. The kingdoms army carried out a large-scale extermination campaign against the monster birds. However, defeating monsters capable of flying in the sky was no easy feat. The mission ended in failure without yielding any significant results. Since there were no human settlements nearby, the monster bird Haichous had also been left to their own devices in this area.

Perhaps it was due to this. The monster bird Haichous tended to react in an overly sensitive manner to any intruder in the area. It was even more so if the one intruded upon was the sky, which was their domain. This was exactly the unusual phenomenon that was taking place right now. The flock of monster bird Haichous were attacking foreign enemies in unison. And said enemies were

Gyaaaa! Too many, its too many! Thats enough! Auntie! I dont need any more refills!

Tanaka was trapped in the trauma of his past as he continued to wield his sword amidst the monster bird Haichous, which were flying around as far as the eye could see.

The monster birds kept popping up endlessly. It reminded him of the hell he once experienced at a certain diner.

The smiling auntie replenished his bowl of miso soup over and over again. Even when he refused another refill by saying no, its enough, she misunderstood it as him simply being reserved. Thus, the auntie kept refilling more miso soup into his bowl endlessly.

The smile on her face, which expressed nothing but kindness, didnt allow him to strongly reject her offer.

As Tanaka was the man who carried the world of small men on his back, all the more reason that he was unable to bring himself to refuse her offer.

It truly was hell.

If the one there wasnt Tanaka who possessed tenacious will, they would surely have turned into a cripple.

Finally, Tanakas formidable past was revealed. Something that truly didnt matter.

thus, such a Tanaka, whose past had been revived, was on his wits end. Every time he swung his sword, some of the monster birds Haichous were cut down. A large number of monster birds kept dying. The monster bird Haichous covered the ground one after another.

Good graciousness, theres no sign of them diminishing at all-degozaru.

Meanwhile, Suke-san was wielding his scythe as usual. On top of his head was Kaku-san in spirit form. In their current situation, there was the danger of friendly fire, so he had no turn to display his magic. He had no choice but to concentrate on supporting Suke-san to keep him floating in the air.

Speaking of how they arrived at their current predicament. It all originated from the moment Team Tanaka decided to move eastward at a low altitude through the air to train Suke-sans flight ability. And then, they happened to move straight into the area controlled by the monster birds Haichous at the foot of Mount Poterongo. Naturally, the monster bird haichous were alarmed. And then, as usual, the fountain of wisdom, Kaku-san, explained their situation but.

Tanaka declared loudly. Perhaps to drown out his anxious mind.

He floated a fearless smile with one hand over his face and his cloak fluttering grandly, raising brisk sound he struck his signature cool pose and declared.

Guys, lets seize it. The supreme throne

To which Suke-san and Kaku-san responded, facing him while striking the same pose.

Ive resolved myself for it since long ago.

Now Im on fire!

Right now, the hearts of the three men were united.

However, what exactly should we do.? Dragons are no longer satisfying, after all. Id like to have a more fulfilling enemy.

I dont think so. Theyre pretty strong, you know?

Isnt there a stronger enemy somewhere-degozaru?

Still in the same posture, they started having a strategy meeting. Creating a truly surreal scene.

Lets see Well, its not that there arent any, but.

As expected of Kaku-san, the fountain of wisdom of Team Tanaka. He seemed to have an idea.

Alright! Lets go with that!

You instantly decided without even listening to the details at all?!

The reliable Tanaka made a prompt decision. There didnt seem to be a lack of confidence on his face. It was probably a decision that was made according to the future he foresaw based on a vast amount of information and meticulous calculations. For someone with unparalleled will such as Tanaka-san, there was no way he would ever say, I dont care about anything else! I just want to escape from the heros threat! in his heart.

Thus, Team Tanaka began to move forward in search of further growth.
