Chapter 49: (1)

The First Trial, I Guess

The base of the Purin Kingdom army in the entertainment city of Ketavanagh-O. In the basement of said base was an underground prison that stretched out like a labyrinth. Sorrow, hatred, and madness. This place, a prison that was supposed to be engulfed in such airs, a peculiar air was drifting around at a certain part of it.

Oh. Looks like youve gone through quite a hardship there.

Yes, I totally have. Toby is useless, and the beautiful woman I was about to get close to is now gone. Its so much of a mess, big bro.

Was that all you thought about during the game?!

The men were chatting merrily. How could they be so carefree in such a situation? This was most likely the first question that came to everyones mind when they saw them.

However, to those who knew of Tanaka, theyd probably be beset with a different question. How could Tanaka associate with a handsome man in such a friendly manner?Visit no(v)eLb(i)n.com for the best novel reading experience

However, the answer was actually pretty simple. Tanaka was a man who prioritized his own safety above anything else. In this situation where he was locked in a prison, the person who appeared in front of him was a hero. Moreover, he was the hero among heroes, who was widely acknowledged as the strongest hero of all times. There was only one course of action Tanaka could take in the face of such a mighty being. Tanaka would follow and take hero Yashichi as his big bro and then put on airs utilizing the power of the strongest hero as his backing.

The flexibility of mind where he could even tolerate such a dangerous situation of associating amiably with a handsome man in order to protect himself. There was no doubt that he had engraved his name as the great little man in the Akashic Records, which was said to have recorded all little men since the age of origin.

So after this and that, Tanaka and his merry band of friends, who had been wrapped up in a lengthy conversation, were still chatting merrily. And by now they were well aware of their respective circumstances.

Toby, with a pale face, clung to Yashichi. As Yashichi was in the cell across theirs, Toby couldnt really reach him, though.

As imperfect as I may be, Im still a hero. As expected even they have no galls to execute someone possessing the protection of God of Creation, but as for the two of you.

No, no way.

Realizing the desperate situation, Yashichi grieved.

Stop displaying such disgraceful behavior in front of big bro. Thats youve always been called Toby!

Toby is not a mockery! Its a normal name!

Toby was ruthlessly brought back to reality. He no longer had any trace of easiness as he was forced to make retorts to Tanakas idiotic remarks.

Well, calm down alright. It may be true that were in a desperate situation as our power is suppressed, but thats not the only weapon we humans have, right?

Uttering such remarkable words for once, Tanaka struck a cool pose while pointing at his own head.

Its here, you know, here. At times like this, you have to use your head.
