Chapter 36: (1)

To the Promised Land

Young ladies, are any of you tired yet? Dont worry, even if you are, as unworthy as I may be, I, Tanaka, shall humbly carry you on my back. Theres nothing to worry about. If you lean your body, especially your upper body close to me, this Tanaka shall take you to anywhere and everywhere tirelessly without fail.

..

Tanaka led the group in a jubilant mood. His light-hearted speech seemed to gently soothe the women who had suffered emotional trauma.

Oi, Tanaka.

Suppressing his voice down a bit, Kaku-san called out to Tanaka.

Look at their eyes. Theyre totally afraid of you.

Is, is that so? In my eyes, it looks like were only a few steps away from the So cool! Embrace me! event, though.

Tanaka had been sparing no efforts to conquer the women.

What the heck is that?

Tanakas visionary thoughts that were far above and beyond that of ordinary beings seemed to be beyond even the understanding of Kaku-san, a spirit that was one of the administrators of the world.

For the time being, our top priority is to first send them back safely to their village-degozaru.

Suke-san made a calm decision. Someone a year and a few months old. He had grown up splendidly.

My bad. Looks like I got a bit impatient in the face of the opportunity that has finally presented itself. I almost showed an opening that could be taken advantage of by the world.

A boy jumped out of the crowds of beastmen and hugged the person who appeared to be his elder sister. As Tanaka screamed What is with this Kanabun (drone beetle)? Arent you a beastman?! in his mind, as though triggered by the scene of the sibling, one by one, people began to step forward as well. Seeing the joyous scenes that were unfolding all over the place, Tanaka shouted Kanabun. Good job! in his mind to thank him.

Am I right to assume that you were the one who released these girls?

The village chief spoke to Tanaka.

I merely happened to be on the scene when the slave traders were being attacked by bandits. At that time, the slave traders had already been killed, but the girls were safe, so I brought them here. Was it an unnecessary meddling?

Of course, he didnt forget to strike a cool pose. The event was about to begin in earnest from here on. Intuitively sensing that, Tanaka braced himself for the challenge.

No, not at all, thank you very much. The whole village is grateful to you.

That doesnt seem to be quite the case to me, though.

No, thats.

Tanaka decided to tread upon the hard route. Thanks to Kanabun, it might seem that the path toward the normal route of the debauchery events was hereby cleared up for him. However, in the end that was only on the surface. In reality, nothing had been cleared at all. Most likely, this was a trap set by the world to entrap Tanaka. Having arrived at that conclusion, Tanaka readily abandoned the debauchery event route.

He abandoned the sweet fruit that was being offered in front of him without hesitation. From these momentary exchanges, he could already perceive that something quite serious was looming over them at the moment. As well as the fact that the real battle was finally about to begin.

Well, well, well, it seems to be quite lively here.

A plump middle-aged man appeared along with a large group of armed men.

Wha, whats this all about? This term, weve already.

The village chief called out to the plump man with a faint voice. The man floated a grin and interrupted the village chief as though he had expected such a question.

Its kind of troubling if you underestimate me that much. Ive already confirmed that the trading group was attacked enroute, you know? Moreover, it seems that you happen to have even arranged enough replacements, so I guess Ill gratefully accept the goods for this term
