Ive Been Waiting, You Know? For You To Get To That Answer

The time rewound back to when Tanaka and the other soared toward the volcano to meet Uesama.

Tanaka and the others, who didnt take that much time to arrive at the volcano, after doing some explorations for a while, were staring down at a crater, with smoke rising out of it, from above.

As expected, they should be in this place, right?

The monsters caught in my detection were indeed considerably powerful, but they were still nonetheless ordinary ones, after all. If there are any others, theyre most likely somewhere in this place.

The energy of the volcano was so powerful which made it impossible for even Kaku-san to detect the depths of the crater. There was probably no other way to find Uesama, their purpose of coming there, than to actually head into the crater.

Do we seriously have to go into there? It looks crazy hot, though., heck, thats not the point! Im going to get burned to death! Im going to get burned to death before I can even burn out in my harem!

It was a wonder how hed burn out in a harem that still had zero members. Tanaka-sans nonchalant bluff-contained yell echoed in the crater.

As always, what a delicate guy you are. By the way, I have no problem with heat at all.

Kaku-san, whose real body was that of an immaterial small ball of light, boasted in a side-chest pose.

Im also fine with the heat -degozaru.

As if competing with him, Suke-san faced kaku-san and struck a side chest pose as well.

No, no, no, Suke-san, youre not fine at all, alright?! Even if you dont feel the heat, if you touch that red thing, youll burn, alright!

What the! Is that sticky red thing that hot-degozaru?

Thats right! Its crazy hot! Geez, youre too careless. I wont be able to calmly make jokes like this, you know?

Tanaka unleashed good grief palms raised formula. This was a legendary class good grief that allowed you to walk half a step without spilling a glass of water placed on your beautiful, horizontally spread raised palms. Was making jokes that important to you to the point youd even unleash such a special move, Tanaka?

For the time being, lets try calling them out from here. Itd be less troublesome if they did come out, after all.

A man who would tread on the easy path when faced with a bind. He was truly the ideal protagonist we could ever ask for. Tanaka-san moved into action at once.

Ta-ka-shi-ku-n!

Wait, who the heck is that?

It cant be helped! We dont even know their real name, after all!

Now that you mention it, thats indeed the case.

Looks like we have no choice but to do trial and error-degozaru.

After that, Tanaka tried all sorts of patterns he used to employ when inviting his friends out from the doorway back in elementary school. However, he didnt have that much of a repertoire. Tanaka-sans eyes teared up.Updated from novelbIn.(c)om

As expected of Tanaka-san. The words of the foremost man who was oblivious of his own power truly had a different level of persuasive power.

I want to quickly head into the depth of this crater or something-degozaru.

Mmm, youre right. Now is not the time to be messing around in a place like this. Now then, lets go!

Tanaka and the others descended toward the crater. The heated up air was exhausted way further back, and room temperature air was replenished in its place, maintaining the environment inside the continuously circulating air membrane to be the same as outside.

I said it half-jokingly, but to think youd actually do it for real.

Tanaka, despite Kaku-sans astonishment, continued to proceed forward. The fact that he didnt get carried away and brag about it there was most likely testament that Tanaka-san was also maturing up. It definitely wasnt because he was proceeding toward the depth with trepidation that Kaku-sans words failed to reach his ears. The best evidence of this was the dead fish-like eyes of Tanaka-san, who was swaying suspiciously.

Eventually, they arrived at the bottom of the crater, where red bubbling magma was stirring. It was a world that was extremely unlikely for any living being to possibly exist there.

I think anyone who lives in a place like this surely is not sane. Once they come out, first of all, Ill make sure to give them a scolding. As they are severely lacking in cooperativeness. Just how hard do they think it is to deliver the circulars to a place like this?

Once he realized that no one was around, there was nothing he was afraid of. Tanaka-san displayed his vessel as a leader at such a critical moment. The fact that what he took out was the vessel of a little man was surely just a trivial mistake.

Hmm, I dont quite get it, but at the very least I do understand that youre making fun of me there.

A voice echoed out of nowhere. Hearing this voice, which was filled with profound intensity, Tanakas lower half involuntarily lost its strength.

D, d, d, dont scare me like that, Suke-san. Have you finally reached the age where you have a change of voice? But still, dont you think that your internal speaker is not quite in good shape?

While saying this, Tanaka looked around at his surroundings. He couldnt seem to find anything particularly suspicious.

I didnt say anything, though-degozaru.

I, I see. Dear me, so it was just my imagination, huh. Well, I havent been getting enough sleep lately, so it wouldnt be surprising if I had an auditory hallucination or two.

Did this mean that Tanaka-san, who ceaselessly carried out his grueling daily routine of lying down at dusk and striving in his image training until almost noon, was also finally approaching his limit?

You mean to voice form earlier, right? I perfectly heard it, too, you know?

No, no, no, no, that cant be right, alright?! I never saw any ghosts until I turned twenty, you know? Like really, ghost and the likes are simply impossible to exist, alright?!

The surrealist man, who believed in the fireball plasma theory, stubbornly denied the existence of ghosts. He had a feeling that he might not not have a spirit as one of his comrades, but he still denied the idea nonetheless.

Eventually, Tanaka-san clenched his fists and began to emphasize that, Fantasy should not exist in reality!. The one who brought Tanaka-san, who was at the pinnacle of confusion that he even denied the meaning of existence of this very book in such a manner, back to reality was a pillar of flame that suddenly erupted in front of him.

Youre so noisy, human.

And then, what appeared there was the incarnation of flame which looked like a flapping large bird.

I am Enou Zonmer. The one who governs the flames.

What would the fate of Tanaka and the others be now that this supernatural entity had finally appeared?
