The time was around 9 in the morning.
The streets were filled with so much excitement that people couldn't help but dance.
Although there were some adventurers who stayed behind to participate in the Monster Festival, most of them still chose to head to the Underground City.
For Lv • 1 adventurers who made up half of the entire adventurer class, the harvest from fighting in the Underground City could only cover their expenses for a few days. Therefore, if they didn't go to the Underground City on a random day, it meant that they might not have enough money to spend.
Therefore, those who stayed behind to participate in the Monster Festival were mostly ordinary people who lived in Eulalia, except for the high-ranking adventurers and the low-ranking adventurers who had the protection of large family clans.
On the East Main Street where a large number of civilians gathered, countless stalls were placed on the side of the road.
The street was filled with a delicious smell, and the sizzling sound of barbecued meat and the hawking of the vendors echoed in the crowd.
The entire street was decorated with gorgeous ribbons and beautiful flowers, and it looked more prosperous than before.
Most of the passersby had colorful flags tied together with ropes on their heads. Some of them were printed with patterns that represented monsters, while others were printed with the symbol of [Janissa- Family Clans] — a large elephant head.
The excited children were held tightly by their mothers to prevent them from getting separated. Even the sunlight seemed to know that it was a celebration, and the light was especially warm.
"Wow! Wow! "
"Fran! Here, here! "
"Bilibili, bilibili …"
Yui, Fran, and Misaka ran happily on the street under the doting gazes of Yuriko and Shesta. They ran to the stall selling barbecued meat and ran away with a skewer. Then, they ran to the stall selling equipment for low-ranking adventurers and played with the seemingly sharp but actually ordinary swords without any scruples.
Seeing Yuriko crossing her arms in front of her chest and looking indifferent, Shesta could only sigh, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. Helplessly, she trotted behind the little ones, constantly paying and apologizing to the stall owners.
Fortunately, Shesta was now very agile. She didn't have to worry about falling down on the crowded street while wearing a complicated maid outfit and high heels.
"Yuriko! You have to control those children! This is too reckless! "
In the face of Shesta's complaints, Yuriko snorted coldly. "As long as they're happy, it doesn't matter what others do."
[Your lolicon is hopeless!!]
Bell scratched the back of his head and chuckled. Then, he sighed and shook his head.
The silver-haired youth was also affected by the lively atmosphere, and a smile unconsciously appeared on his face.
Bale's red eyes sparkled. Although he was only a Lv-1 adventurer, his attributes were increasing very quickly.
Although Bale hadn't awakened his [Magic] and [Skills], and his level hadn't increased, the current Bale was no longer the same as when he first came to Eulalia.
Because of this, although Yuriko and the others still brought great pressure to Bale, the silver-haired boy was now able to laugh from the bottom of his heart.
"Um, Yuriko-san, Shasta …"
The cute little rabbit, Bell, called out to the two people in front of him.
Yuriko, who was a little behind, turned her head slightly and stared at Bale with her blood-red eyes without any emotion.
Being stared at like this, Bale couldn't help but shudder.
[It's too scary. No matter how many times it is, it's too scary to be stared at by Yuriko-san …]
Taking a deep breath and trying to calm down, Bale said, "Game-sama … has already arrived at the gods' auditorium?"
She nodded and didn't directly reply.
Bale, who had long been accustomed to Yuriko's attitude, didn't care and continued, "Then should we hurry up? The sacrifice seems to be about to start. "
What confirmed Bale's words was the rumbling of the cannon over the arena in the distance.
The crowd on the street suddenly made a loud cheer, welcoming the beginning of the sacrifice.
⑧
Accompanied by the loud cheers, the monster sacrifice began.
In the arena, as dust was kicked up, a monster that had been released from its chains roared and charged forward in a straight line.
In front of the two-meter-tall giant pig-type monster [War Feather], there was a woman who was on her guard and fighting alone.
Her short hair fluttered in the wind as she avoided the monster's attack.
The cheers in the auditorium overlapped with each other and became louder as the woman's performance became louder.
A vortex of enthusiasm that made people sweat uncontrollably surrounded the arena that could hold 50,000 people.
The monster in the middle of the field had completely unleashed its ferocious nature. It kicked its four limbs hard at the prey in its eyes.
In the face of this ferocious pig that could easily smash rocks, the trainer of [Janissa.Minion] easily avoided it. At the same time, she didn't forget to raise her arms high and enjoy the cheers and support from the audience.
The monster was roaring, the host was enthusiastically explaining through a loudspeaker made of magic stones, and the audience was constantly cheering.
Fran, who had never seen such a scene, jumped up from her seat and stood in her seat, cheering loudly with her arms raised.
The little girl lost her balance and her petite body fell forward.
Shesta quickly reached out and hugged Fran. Under the little girl's smiling gaze, she gently patted the head of the little girl wearing a soft white hat.
"Hehehe …"
The happy Fran rubbed her little face on Shesta's thigh and received a reproachful look from the maid.
"Be careful."
"Mhmm! Fran knows! "
"Fran is very happy."
"Very happy. I have never seen so many people in the Scarlet Devil Mansion! Not even during the banquet … It would be even better if sister can come and play with us! "
As soon as she finished speaking, the entire arena burst into loud cheers. The sound waves even blew away the hat on Fran's head.
Shesta grabbed the hat and put it back on Fran's head. Then, she simply lifted Fran up and put her on her lap.
"When Yaguma-sama finds us, this world will be connected to Fantasyland. By then, Fran can come and play with your sister at any time. So, be good for now."
"Mhmm! Be good! "
Shesta gently hugged Fran and turned to look at Yuriko, who was sitting next to her.
"Speaking of which, where is Bell-kun?"
"I don't know. It seems that he was too far behind us on the road and was stopped by someone."
"Eh?! Why didn't you tell us? "
"That rabbit won't go missing. Don't worry."
"Oh." Shesta suppressed the worry in her heart.
After all, they were from the same clan, and it was Bell-Kun who brought her and Misaka to Oralie. They were considered friends. If something happened to Bell-Kun, Shesta would be very worried.
⑧
Underground of the arena, in front of the gloomy monster holding room.
Freya stepped over the bodies of the [Janissa.Clan] members that she had knocked down and stood in front of a cage.
The eyes of the monster in the cage were restrained by the shining silver hair and the silver eyes of the monster in the cage.
Even the ferocious beasts could not escape the influence of her beauty.
"… Not bad. In that case, it's decided that it's you."
The eyes of the wild ape-type monster, the [Silver Guard], rolled around, and its breathing became a little rapid. It felt the gaze of the goddess.
Her white fingers gently stroked the iron chain above the cage, and the heavy iron chain fell down.
The freed monster roared and charged out of the cage, running outside.
"Aiya, aiya, what kind of show will it be?"
Freya muttered to herself as she looked at the monster's back as he ran away.
"Well, since the rabbit's prey is ready, I can also prepare the prey for the other children while enjoying the show."
"I'm really … looking forward to it!"
