The supernatural battle that took place on the sacred mountain of Chocoboro. The victor was the apostle of God. The spirit of the sacred mountain of Chocoboro disappeared, and the apostle in question also soon departed sowhere, leaving behind only the White Wolf Tribe, who had lost their object of worship.
And then, as though they had been waiting for this exact mont, the Purin Kingdom army showed up. Before they could even put up so resistance, their village was already raided, and nurous people lost their lives. Among them were the wife and children of Black Mikeneko. At that mont, Black Mikeneko accepted the choice of Berserk and fought hard against the Kingdoms army. However, unable to overco the violence of numbers, the White Wolves tribe had no choice but to flee. The White Wolves tribe wandered aimlessly through the mountain while putting up resistance here and there. As seasons passed, one by one, his comrades fell, and the only one left was Black Mikeneko.
There was already nothing I could do, other than passing my days at a loss. And then, before I knew it, I was already gathering the remains of my family mbers. and my comrades, before giving them a burial. And that place is here.
As they talked about what happened after the disappearance of the spirit, they climbed up the mountain from the village that was at the foot of the mountain. It was a dying land with the surface of the mountain exposed. A number of human-sized stones stood in line desolately. When they reached a certain one of them, he placed the flower he had been holding.
Popotan flower. The one my daughter loved I think.
Perhaps it was the after effect of getting his soul consud. His mories seed to have beco fragnted. But even so, seeing his praying figure, Tanaka remained silent. The mood didnt seem fit for him to say You have a daughter?! Go explode yourself, you normie! there.
S, say. If you want, should we help you bury them? Having more hands would surely make things easier, right? We are pretty much an idle group anyway.
Unable to stand the mood any longer, Tanaka tried to lend him a hand. It was an act worthy of being titled the little man among little n.
Thanks, but, no thanks, Ive buried all of the remains in the village, and I think Im also mostly done with searching and burying all the remains of those who fell while we were on the run.
Oh, I see.
So awkward. It was just too awkward. This kind of situation, there was no way for the delicate Tanaka-san, who would rejoice at every minute action of a high school girl who happened to be in the sa train as him, would be able to bear it.
Fu, fuoooaaaaa!
What happened-degozaru?
As soon as he suddenly let out such a shout, Tanaka took out various items from his item box. Various items, which had been cramd into his item box in an enormous amount, rolled on the ground in great amounts. Seeing such an action of his, Black Mikeneko was dumbfounded instead.
Just, what in the world is going on with him?
As expected, even Suke-san and Kaku-san could not answer this question.
What the hell are you doing, dude?
I bet you havent been eating well, have you? Im going to let you indulge yourself in a bit!
Tanaka grabbed a large pot and began to stew the ingredients that were scattered about. They were all extravagant items that normally could never be enjoyed during a journey. It was an extravagance that was only possible for Tanaka who boasted an overwhelming item box capacity. And then, into the wooden cups he had pointlessly carried, Tanaka poured so sake that hed also pointlessly stockpiled, even though he couldnt even drink them, and offered one to him.
Co on, you drink, too. Drink, eat, and let loose!
The wooden cup that was thrust out at Black Mikeneko. High quality sake was poured into it to the brim. Swallowed up by Tanakas montum, Black Mikeneko couldnt help but accept the cup. Tanaka then swiftly returned to tending the hot-pot he was cooking.
What am I supposed to do?
Black Mikeneko asked Suk-sane and Kaku-san with a puzzled look on his face.
Beats . At any rate, hes quite the strange guy, after all. Well, why dont you just drink and eat like he told you to?
Hes right-degozaru.
The two of them, who didnt even need to eat, had already begun to relax and made themselves at ho. Their teamwork was as outstanding as ever. After a while, Tanaka served them small plates brimming with hot-pot dishes.
Its good.
Right? As soone who has mastered rice with egg (tamago-kake gohan), Ive overco yet another wall. So theres no way itd ever taste bad.
Tanaka, with a smug look on his face, served so freshly cooked hot-pot dish as well, and finally began to eat it himself. Truly a true and tested little man.
In my hotown, at tis like this we let ourselves loose by eating and drinking with smiles on our faces.
Saying that, Tanaka imdiately put it into practice. The act of him shrewdly getting himself alone so milk to drink showed how fearso of an Emperor of Darkness he was.
Afterwards, the four of them continued to chat rrily while eating and drinking. Most of the conversation was about team Tanakas adventures so far, but Black Mikeneko was enjoying it in its own way.
The Promised Land, huh.
A topic that ca up in the tale of team Tanaka. It also existed in the corner of Black Mikenekos fragnted mory. It was sothing he had heard from traveling demi-humans. At the ti, he had passed it off as a bogus tale, but after hearing it from team Tanaka, he found it believable.
Thats right, various people have gathered to build a new town in the north of the Empire. By no ans bragging, but I hold a considerably high status in this Nanashi town. No, maybe it is not an exaggeration to call myself the number one person there phew.
One of the folks who worked by accepting requests at the guild sub-branch. To be able to exaggerate such a fact into this kind of story, truly a man of excellent presentation as usual.
Is that right-degozaru?
Rather, isnt Echigoya the number one person there?
Silence! Echigoya-san and I are the best of friends. In other words, Im practically number one too.
This was an equation that even a multitude of wise n found impossible to solve. To be able to easily solve and declare it with a smug look on his face, as expected of Tanaka-san. And then, like a typical small man he was, he then reservedly made a suggestion.
So, umm, you too. I know you have a lot on your mind, but you should quickly sort out your feelings. Its not a bad idea to start over in a new place, right?
Staring at the sake in his cup, Black Mikeneko leaked out his words.
Start over, huh Maybe thats not a bad idea.
The lively, noisy, and sowhat lonely night continued to deepen.
