Chapter 180: Portal to Isekai

MoneyMaker: Cut it out @Dragonpalm. I have the authority to reject you on this mission so if you still wanted to participate in this mission then please stop provoking your teammates. This will be your first warning but if you decided to do this again the second time, I will banish you from the mission.

Dragonpalm: Alright, alright.

MoneyMaker: Let's move on to the main mission you three need to undertake. A portal that leads to another world has opened up in Akihabara. Many people were swallowed in the portal and were sent to the world inside the portal. People who read mangas will be familiar with this phenomenon known as "isekai". However, we don't govern that here since the people who were sucked in the other world is not one of the people that are meant to be transported since only the Heavenly Beings can decide whether to send that person to another world or not. So when the incident occurred, 150 people have been sucked into the other world, and their fates are unknown. We have already made some measures to hide it from the public. We also did some mind wipe to the witnesses of the events so no one has known it yet. Although the news and the family of the people that were transported to another world cannot be stopped, they have not been involved directly in the situation so we will just keep the news of them as the "mass disappearance" event.

MindReaderAddict: In short, our job is to pull out those 150 people from another world right?

MoneyMaker: This another world is infested with monsters. I know there will be people who will charge up to monsters and attack them since they were the "chosen ones" especially if they are transported to another world like the cliche thing happening in novels, anime, and mangas. And since most people who visit Akihabara are otakus and some are gamers, I am quite sure many have done that. It has been two days since that occurred so I presume we have many casualties already.

I can see that. I even dreamed once of being going "isekai" before but that was a childish dream before when I was addicted to reading those genres. Now that I became a magician, I don't think I wanted to go on an isekai adventure especially it is involved with lots of fighting. I am already fed up with many battles when I was a magician. What if I will be transported to another world to become a hero and slay the demon lord? That is not going to end well, especially if there are officials who will do what they wanted and corrupt the government.

MoneyMaker: Since we already assumed there are already some people who already are part of the casualties, we will have you three pull the remaining survivors who managed to survive the other world. And since that was the other world, flaunting your skills, using your magic in the public ban is now lifted inside the other world. Of course, you three should avoid doing criminal acts. We will be monitoring you guys inside so we will not tolerate criminals and we will bring down punishments. Understood.

Dragonpalm: :thumbsup:

This time, I have some doubts that all people who got dragged to another world are all just powerless humans. After all, I have the talent to awaken magic and I ended up using magic. What if other people managed to awaken from their magic too? This time, I asked a question and started speaking for the first time in the discussion.

Chat Killer: I have a question. What should we do to those people dragged to another world who managed to awaken some sort of skill or power?

MoneyMaker: Ah, yes. That is also possible since some people gain some sort of abilities after someone bestowed them spells or abilities. Some may have awakened from their dormant magic abilities. That is indeed possible. According to the higher-ups, there will be two options. One is to let them remain there as a permanent resident to the other world and the second will be to let them become one of the magician operatives like you guys. As for the people who were not able to awaken any of those, they will be done with a mind wipe and make their experiences in the other world a dream. It is either to them if they managed to remember it though most of the time, I doubt it.

Dragonpalm: Then, what about those people who managed to awaken their abilities but started to use them for bad things? What about them?

MoneyMaker: As I said before, we don't condone criminal acts like using magic as abilities to use for making crime. If that happens, then immediately neutralize the target. Now, are there other questions?

MindReadingAddict: So what is our actual objective?

MoneyMaker; The higher-ups decided this. The main objective is to gather the people who were transported to another world. Also, solving the conflicts in there such as killing the demon lord or whatever it was will be a side note. While that is happening, we will be transporting the portal to another place so that Akihabara will be a safe place once more. Other questions?

Seeing no one is typing, Takuya ended our discussion right away.

MoneyMaker: Okay then, the mission will begin tomorrow. Be sure to prepare yourselves properly. We will meet tomorrow at noon so be sure to take lunch before going. The meeting is adjourned.

The moment our meeting adjourned, I quit the chat group on my phone and lay down on the bed.

"Are you not going to stick around the chat a little bit longer?" Blue asked.

"I don't want to keep on chatting to Dragonpalm. He is annoying and I don't want to brew bad blood between us especially that we are going to be teammates in this mission. Sowing discord will only trouble you instead of cutting down bad things."

"You seemed to be too experienced on that note, huh?'

"Indeed I am, so you don't have to force me to stick around on the chat because I know it will just cause more conflict which I am not a fan of."

"Yes, yes I hear you. However, if you are going on a mission to cross over another world, aren't you going to take a long time to finish that? Then what about Anya? She will be left behind once again."

"This is for her sake. I am not just going to neglect my task of saving her. I promised her father to protect her and save her from harm. I failed to do so on that so it's my responsibility to see this through."

"Heh, responsibility eh, you keep on fulfilling that no matter what it takes. Typical Kazuma as always," Blue said before going quiet.

"..."

This new mission is now tackling out the other world. To think isekai is real and I am going to visit one world to rescue the people who are dragged along to the isekai. That didn't happen in most novels I think. And maybe the stories being done by the authors themselves are real events and records of the exploits of a certain individual who managed to cross the dimension. It is not impossible at all since magicians can do many things using the mystics so it is quite possible that this was also a thing to inform their family indirectly what happened to them after they were sent to another world.

I don't want to be too hard on myself so I decided to sleep and get some rest since we will be going on a mission that might take a long time to complete. Proper rest will be a good thing if we ever get plunged into a place of constant war.

...

The next day came and my preparations are now underway. Since things will be hectic and troublesome, I decided to bring along the mimic and act as my dimensional bag. Although this mimic is Anya's property originally, I am one of the main owners of it after defeating it before so now I can convince the mimic to act like my dimensional bag in exchange for food like gems.

While preparing, Blue started to speak.

"Kazuma, are you going to skip today's tries for the Tower of Babel? Your chances have been restored to 5 once again so you can now begin your killing spree once again."

"Thanks for reminding me, bring me back."

That day, I decided to keep on farming the lower floors a bit longer instead of challenging the sixth floor. It was a tiring method and I almost have gone crazy due to it but I finally stopped once I farmed the place for at least 30 or more times. Although the increases are too small, I don't think this will be a problem. And when I tried to defeat the sixth floor, I managed to succeed. However, the seventh floor ended up another one of those hard places.

That day, I ended up spending all 5 lives on the seventh floor without any sign I can win.
