Chapter 2.1 - 100 Million Years Button and Prison of Time [2] – part 1 (1/2)
. 100 Million Years Button and Prison of Time [2] – part 1
「What…? Where… am I?」
Before I realised, I was standing in an unfamiliar place.
If I remember correctly, I listened to the story of the 100 million years button from the shady old man… and then…
「…Oh right, I pressed the 100 million years button.」
So that means, this is the 『Different World』that the hermit of time mentioned?
As I looked around the surroundings, a white house on clean soil came into view.
And one more thing – large numbers were suspended in mid-air.
00000000 Year 1 Month 1 Day 00 Hour 01 Minute 31 Seconds
It is probably the clock of this world that ticks second by second.
I must leave this world when the clock reaches 100 million years.
In other words, I can do anything I wish with this time.
「Yes… Yes… Yes!」
Yes, Hell Yes…!
With this much time, I can surely win against Dodriel.
I was overflowing with happiness…… I tightly clenched my fist.
(But still, to think that crazy story would be true!)
When I leave this place, I must thank the hermit of time.
(No, wait… If I’m not mistaken, my memories will be erased when I leave this place…)
Well, I’m sure it’ll turn out alright.
Even if I lose my memories, I will not lose the sword skills acquired here.
After 100 million yearsー the me in the real world will surely convey my thanks.
(Oops, I mustn’t procrastinate.)
I immediately drew my sword and started swinging.
Although the time is long, it seems short.
I’m sure 100 million years would pass by in the blink of an eye.
(This is my long-awaited big chance… I can’t waste even a second…!)
After that, I continued swinging my sword with all my heart and soul.
The next time I was aware of the time, was when my stomach started growling.
「It’s already time for food…」
When I looked at the suspended clock, about 20 hours have passed.
Telling the time in this different world is difficult as there isn’t a sun.
「Well… shall I go get some food?」
I discontinued my swinging momentarily, and headed towards the one single white house in this world.
「Wow, it’s spacious…」
It was much larger than the house my mother lives in and the dormitory I currently live in.
And it was absurdly clean. Not a single speck of dust.
「Let’s see… where is the food…?」
According to the story of the hermit of time, there should be a magic foodstore that generates food infinitely.
I roamed around the house a little and found a huge refrigerator next to the kitchen.
「Is it inside this…?」
As I opened the double-doors of the refrigerator that opened from the middle and looked inside,
「Wow…」
Meat, vegetables, fish and milk – all sorts of ingredients were packed tightly.
I picked up the large tomato that caught my eye, and bite into it.
「…….! De-Delicious…!」
A fresh luscious sweetness as though it was harvested just this morning, ran through my mouth.
Then I picked the dried meat and vegetables that didn’t need cooking and went to the bathroom immediately.
「Hu-! Huge…」
It was about 10 times bigger than I had imagined.
In additionー
「Aaa-… such nice hot water…」
The temperature was just perfect even though I didn’t adjust anything about how it works.
Not too hot, not too cold- the water temperature was just right, I could feel the muscles in my whole body loosening.
After that, when I got out of the bath, I went to the bedroom and before long as I had gotten sleepy.
I have no plans of spending time on anything other training.
If I did that, 100 million years will pass in an instant.
「It’s so fluffy…」
The bed in the bedroom, had an otherworldly softness to it.
And it was more than just feeling soft.
It also had the strength to wrap around my body tightly.
While wrapped in a light and warm comforter, I murmured.
「This is the best…」
Delicious food.
Pleasant bath.
Soft bed.
And above all else – 100 million years of time.
Nothing can top this.
This is undoubtedly the best circumstances.
「Hehe, I’m gonna train for 100 million years in this place… I will surely become an amazing swordsman…」
