<F-Fufu, Sealed Ind Vera Kenu!? And a cmity, you say!?>
Extra-samatched onto the keywords Lairine muttered!
She seems strangely excited, do you know something, Extra-sama!?
<Ahem! E-Excuse me! Yes, yes, I know it very well! Sealed Ind Vera Kenu! It’s a ce name that has appeared numerous times in isekai reincarnation broadcasts!>
I-Is that so!?
In other words, this ind is a ce that has been the stage for the adventures of many protagonists?
<No, that’s not it!>
Huh?
<Sealed Ind Vera Kenu! Originally, this is the setting of a certain myth! It’s the ce where a hero once sealed a monster that invaded from outside the world!>
I see.
<And somehow, the name has a cool ring to it!>
Huh?
<For the above reasons, the ce name Sealed Ind Vera Kenu is often used as a vor element to add depth to the world!>
What!?
<In other words, for example, to a young boy protagonist who dreams of ‘bing an adventurer in the future and traveling the world’! A guardian figure or a mentor figure would say something like this! ‘The bottom of the Great Fog Sea of Eserem, the center of the Storm Wastnd of Sazarintford, and Sealed Ind Vera Kenu… There are many unexplored regions in this world that are sung of in legends!’ Something like that! To stir up the expectations for adventure in the protagonist and the viewers!>
Unexplored…?
There’s a woman who built a mansion there like it’s nothing, though…?
<To the general public, it is considered an unexplored region. I see, so this is Sealed Ind Vera Kenu…!>
…Extra-sama is an isekai reincarnation broadcast maniac.
That’s why, like this, she sometimes suddenly shows an otaku-like reaction as if visiting a sacred ce.
But Extra-sama, I’m sorry for your deep emotions, but the exnation isn’t over yet.
What is a cmity?
<Sealed Ind Vera Kenu is a famous ind that ranks high on the ‘ce Names That Are Mentioned Suggestively But Never Actually Appear in the Story’ list among isekai reincarnation broadcast maniacs! The first time its name was mentioned was in the isekai reincarnation broadcast of the now-defunct Machine God, and at that time…>
…Extra-sama.
Hey, hey.
Extra-sama?
…It’s no use, she’s not listening to me anymore!
“…What is a cmity?”
Giving up on Extra-sama who has degenerated into a mere otaku, I sigh and reluctantly ask Lairine.
Lairine begins exining with a smile, looking happy.
“Cmities refer to powerful beings who do not serve the gods! For various reasons, they are sealed in different parts of the world!”
Not serving the gods…?
In other words, that means…
“They’re dangerous folks?”
“That’s right, dangerous folks!”
So they’re dangerous folks…
<Ah, I’ll add something. The ck dragon we encountered in the demon realm before is the top-ss cmity in terms of strength.>
They’re dangerous folks!!
Cmities are on that level of existence!?
Wait, that talkative ck lizard is a cmity!?
“Your mother, you see, has been ‘requested’ to manage one of those cmities… ‘Odokato Se Kenu’! That’s why I built a house on this remote ind and live here! How is it? Impressive, right?”
Lairine says that and boasts while puffing out her chest, but wait, wait, wait?
“It’s sealed. But why manage? Why is management necessary?”
Feeling a bad premonition, I ask timidly.
Then Lairine nonchntly reveals an unbelievable fact.
“This seal is about toe undone soon.”
What!?
“No matter how legendary the barrier from the mythical era is, it can’t withstand the deterioration over time… You see, this barrier is transparent, right? So seabirds often collide with it. Bird strikes, you know.”
Bird strikes…!?
“The impact of bird strikes that have umted over eons has worn down the barrier from the mythical era and is about to create a hole in the seal! The power of time is amazing, isn’t it?”
<It’s like the story of a water droplet making a hole in a rock. Amazing, isn’t it?>
No, Extra-sama, I’m d you’ve rejoined the conversation, but should you be saying ‘Amazing, isn’t it?’…
“Is it okay to be so carefree about that?”
“I wonder? Recently, Kenu-chan has been trying to escape and asionally pokes its head out to the surface, you know?”
What!?
“Don’t bring me to such a dangerous ce!!”
It was a danger zone!
Contrary to its peaceful surface, this ind was an extremely dangerous zone with a time bomb nted underground!!
My head boils with anger at the fact that I was brought to such a ce without my knowledge, and I unleash a serious right fist aimed at the left cheek of Lairine who isughing carefreely!!
But it’s easily intercepted!
Damn it!!
“Ah, wait, wait, Emi-chan, you can’t do that, if you rampage near this barrier…”
Lairine continues to parry my consecutive attacks, but there’s a hint of impatience in her expression.
What does that mean?
Could it be that if I keep this up, I can overpower her!?
Right fist, then left fist!
I kick and smash the rock at my feet, unleashing countless pebbles at Lairine who jumped back to create distance!
“That’s why I’m telling you to wait, Emi-chan! If you rampage in a ce like this, the impact will be transmitted to the barrier! Then, the seal will weaken! Kenu-chan wille out!”
Lairine shouted that in a hurry while avoiding the pebbles, and at that moment!
Some of the flying pebbles collided with the barrier and shattered, and then…!
<em>Crack.</em>
Yes, an ominous sound echoed.
<strong><<<Ooh… Oaah… Oaah… Ah… Ah…>>></strong>
Furthermore, such a grim groaning voice resounded through the surroundings, and the entire ind began to tremble slightly.
…The clear blue sky had somehow turnedpletely red before I knew it!
