The Reincarnated Extra - Ch. 263
* * *
Extra-sama latched onto the keywords Lairine muttered!
She seems strangely excited, do you know something, Extra-sama!?
I-Is that so!?
In other words, this island is a place that has been the stage for the adventures of many protagonists?
Huh?
I see.
Huh?
What!?
Unexplored…?
There’s a woman who built a mansion there like it’s nothing, though…?
…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 place.
But Extra-sama, I’m sorry for your deep emotions, but the explanation isn’t over yet.
What is a calamity?
…Extra-sama.
Hey, hey.
Extra-sama?
…It’s no use, she’s not listening to me anymore!
“…What is a calamity?”
Giving up on Extra-sama who has degenerated into a mere otaku, I sigh and reluctantly ask Lairine.
Lairine begins explaining with a smile, looking happy.
“Calamities 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…
They’re dangerous folks!!
Calamities are on that level of existence!?
Wait, that talkative black lizard is a calamity!?
“Your mother, you see, has been ‘requested’ to manage one of those calamities… ‘Odokato Se Kenu’! That’s why I built a house on this remote island 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 nonchalantly reveals an unbelievable fact.
“This seal is about to come 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 accumulated 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?”
No, Extra-sama, I’m glad 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 occasionally pokes its head out to the surface, you know?”
What!?
“Don’t bring me to such a dangerous place!!”
It was a danger zone!
Contrary to its peaceful surface, this island was an extremely dangerous zone with a time bomb planted underground!!
My head boils with anger at the fact that I was brought to such a place without my knowledge, and I unleash a serious right fist aimed at the left cheek of Lairine who is laughing 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 place like this, the impact will be transmitted to the barrier! Then, the seal will weaken! Kenu-chan will come 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…!
Crack.
Yes, an ominous sound echoed.
<<>>
Furthermore, such a grim groaning voice resounded through the surroundings, and the entire island began to tremble slightly.
…The clear blue sky had somehow turned completely red before I knew it!
