140. Just Forget Your Problem!

Izumi pointed at a certain point and asked Tabane to zoom it in.

Then, everyone could see a bridge that was still in the middle of construction. The bridge could be recognized instantly by Izumi. That was a bridge where Naruto got his first mission to escort a carpenter. It involved fighting against Zabusa who was killed on the bridge in the end.

But he didn't know if the plot in the anime was the same as what happened in the current shinobi world. This was because Kakashi's strength had increased quite a bit after joining the chat group, and Izumi doubted that Zabusa could deal with Kakashi.

"That's The Naruto Great Bridge!" Izumi commented.

Izumi opened the chat group app on his phone. Then, he tapped on the map Kakashi had sent in the chat earlier. Izumi explained by pointing at the picture.

"We're around here, in the Land of the Waves. We're pretty close to the ocean. If we go south, we can find an uninhabited island that we will make our base for."

Tabane nodded and said.

"Good. Let's go!"

Then Tabane took out her IS. Meanwhile, Izumi activated his ring and transformed it into Theomars. Seeing Theomars, Tabane was reminded of something quite shocking in her world.

"By the way, Izumi. Your action last time was booming around my world, you know!"

"Then, what about you? They must be asking you a lot of questions, right?"

"Hehehe, there's no need to worry. I've taken care of them all."

"I'll probably play there again when I need to add something to Theomars."

"Sure, why not?"

With their pleasant conversation, Rori commented.

"I think you two are perfect for each other."

"Hehehe, you think so? But, he already has a girlfriend, you know." Tabane chuckled.

Izumi was baffled by that words, and he could only smile bitterly. He tried to divert the conversation.

"Let's go! I can only be here for one day! Rori, do you want me to carry you?"

Then, Rori whispered to him.

"Ufufufu, you seem down, Izumi. Do you want this Onee-san to comfort you?" Although the others were unaware of it, Rori could feel the different emotions that Izumi emitted when he arrived in the shinobi world. Izumi seemed to be running from something, and Rori guessed that something had happened between him and his lover.

"I didn't know that you were so sharp, Rori." Izumi said in a low voice.

Rori could faintly feel that Izumi's emotion was unstable. That was why she could guess what happened.

Rori just patted his head while chuckling. Naturally, everyone wondered why Rori patted Izumi's head.

"Ufufufu, you really are a cute kid!"

"Don't treat me like a child, Rori!"

"But, you're still a kid in my eyes."

Izumi sighed. Then, he turned to Tabane.

"Tabane-chan, how many ISs do you have?"

"A lot. Why did you ask?"

"Then, I'll carry Rori, and you carry both of them!" Izumi pointed at Warrod and Hiiro. But Tabane rejected while rushing toward him.

She grabbed Rori while saying.

"There's no way I'll let you carry her. What if you suddenly groped her on the way?"

Izumi was speechless at her.

"Hey, do you think I'll be alive after doing something to her?" Izumi replied.

Tabane put on a pouting expression.

"No means no!"

Meanwhile, Rori just chuckled at their interaction. Then, she teased Izumi.

"Ufufufu. If you want, I can let you touch me, you know."

"Don't try to tempt me, Rori. I'm not a good person, you know."

"Rori-chan. That should be my line!" Tabane tried to win over her.

However, the situation was a bit awkward. Izumi didn't know why it turned into a harem-like story where the heroines fought over the protagonist.

In the end, Izumi approached Warrod and carried him with his IS and flew in the south direction.

Tabane and Rori looked at each other. Both of them smiled awkwardly before they brought Hiiro together.

With their ISs flying at speeds up to Mach 1.5, it didn't take them long to reach their destination. Izumi checked the destination island, and he didn't feel the presence of people there.

"It's not really uninhabited." Izumi muttered. He could feel some beasts wandering around the island. And since he wanted to establish a base, he needed to kill some of them.

*growl*

After Izumi and the others took care of the beasts at the center of the island, his stomach created a rumbling sound. It was so loud that everyone immediately laughed at him.

"What the heck just happened to me?" Izumi wanted to curse.

Meanwhile, Tabane giggled while saying.

"Hihihi. Maybe you will be like Natsu or Luffy who have a big appetite because you have that new magic."

Izumi slapped his own head in annoyance.

"What the hell!!! This is troubling!"

If he had an excessive appetite, it meant that his expenses would increase. He was resigned to his current situation knowing that his new magic increased his appetite or maybe a bottomless stomach just like Luffy.

"Alright, we will eat first before starting to work. It's uncomfortable working with an empty stomach." Warrod smiled at the others, and he also helped by handing over some dry wood. Hiiro used his magic to make fire, while Izumi and Tabane made food. Only Rori watched in silence for not getting any part to help.

As the atmosphere became quiet, Rori started to speak with a question for Izumi.

"Izumi, don't you want to talk about something?"

"To be honest, I don't like to talk about it. But, never mind. Actually, I have a little problem with my girlfriend."

Tabane was slightly taken aback by Izumi's statement, so she asked.

"Wasn't it when you were on a mission, your relationship was still fine?"

Izumi shook. While moving his hands to prepare the food, Izumi explained without looking at Tabane.

"There was something wrong with her after I saved her from the enemy's hand. I thought it was because she felt traumatic or something. However, after I went to her house and talked about that, she asked me to stop killing. She saw me when I killed a person in front of her, and she was terrified of me when she was affected by my Haki at that time and even made her faint. I don't know what I should do. I just want to let her accept me as I am. But, I don't know if that's possible or not."

"Did she dump you?" Tabane asked.

"No, it was just that she hadn't fully accepted me yet, she needed time to answer." Izumi said while sighing.

"Wait, huh? I just want to say, if your lover can't accept you because she's afraid of killing, you should just end your relationship. It's not that I want you to separate, but your relationship won't last long if it goes like that." Rori voiced her thoughts.

"What if you just erase the part of her memories?" Hiiro suggested. Izumi turned to him with a question.

"Can you do that?"

"I didn't dare. Erasing memories is a bit more complicated than you think. If it's easy, I would have done it a while ago." Hiiro shook his head.

This time, Tabane voiced out.

"Then, face it! Or you can just lie to her. Or perhaps, just stop going to another world since you're already strong enough!"

However, Izumi smiled bitterly.

"I can't stop. This may have nothing to do with my girlfriend, but I can't stop now for some reason."

"For some reason?" The others asked simultaneously.

Izumi's expression turned serious.

"I'll tell all of you everything if everyone is present. Although it's just a hunch. It's likely to happen in the future."

From his tone alone, everyone could understand that this wasn't a trivial matter. So, everyone was silent for a while.

At that moment, Rori spoke.

"Well, we can discuss it later. For now, just forget the problem that happened in your world!"

— — — —

"Hihihi, you've become the second Luffy, Izumi!"

Seeing how much Izumi ate, Tabane burst into laughter. Even though Izumi ate 5 portions, his stomach still didn't feel satisfied, and Izumi himself still wanted to eat more.

Tabane's laughter was also followed by Rori's giggle, who found Izumi to be amusing.

Izumi said.

"It's not my fault!" Izumi was embarrassed by the situation.

The atmosphere became comfortable after they forgot the tense atmosphere earlier. And the atmosphere actually made Izumi forget his problems.

After they finished eating, they started it. At that moment, Izumi thought that it would be more interesting if Warrod built a house on a tree. Warrod took it seriously and then used his magic which caused huge trees to grow from the ground.

The biggest tree grew in the middle, then followed by other trees that surrounded in sequence starting from the tallest tree to the shortest tree in a spiral.

Izumi was amazed at Warrod's abilities. No wonder he became one of the greatest magicians in Fiore.

He felt that they were going to create an Elven forest in the shinobi world.
