The carnival was scheduled to last for two weeks, a full fourteen days of celebration. However, it was only the morning of the first day, yet it was already so thrilling.
That performance just now was simply too scary. The heroes of the World of Azeroth were simply too scary.
Walking on the road, I still felt cold sweat from time to time as I recalled the ridiculous performance I had just experienced. Especially Andersen and the Grimm brothers who were hugging each other and crying bitterly. Those three brothers were truly tragic.
They didn't do anything, yet their daughter forcefully went from annihilating her entire family to becoming a war criminal.
Where should I go next? Although wandering around as the highest person in charge of the organizers was a little suspicious, looking at the joyous scenes around me, I suddenly felt that it was a good idea to continue doing nothing. After all, this carnival was a free-for-all. The Imperial Army had no other tasks other than maintaining order at the scene. As for the world teleportation, the Space Administration's Magistrates were in charge. Yup, it seemed that at least on the first day after the opening ceremony, I had nothing to do.
Just as I was holding onto the guidebook I had plundered from a certain Hongbai, who was the captain of the Town Security Branch, and was contemplating whether to watch the large-scale group exercise between the Zenith Star and Ultraman or the PK match between the Light Sound Division and the Hatsune Clan, Sandora suddenly jumped in front of me and shouted:
"Ah Jun, since you have nothing to do, let's go for a meal!"
Pandora, who was beside me, also tugged at her sleeves. I looked down and saw that the little loli was looking at us from a 45-degree angle. Her big gray eyes were calm as she said, "I'm hungry."
"It's already noon?"
I raised my head to look at the sky. There was a warm sun hanging in the middle of the simulated sky of the City of Shadows. Next to the sun was a huge "12 PM". Although I really wanted to complain about the theme pack that Bubble had attached to the artificial sun of the City of Shadows, I had to admit that this method of timing was really awesome.
"Then let's go here!"
Liliana then drew out her treasured book that she used to skip work, and pointed at a line of large words on it: [Culinary Grand Prix organized by multiple worlds, with simultaneous eating competitions. Unlimited supply of delicacies, unlimited registration at any time, anyone can participate — the only requirement is that the group or individual who signed up for the eating competition must finish all the food in front of them!]
As soon as Liliana's voice faded, we immediately turned to look at Sandora.
The championship is ours!
Holding this kind of competition within ten kilometers of Her Majesty Shadora, you are digging your own grave! This was courting death!
"Let's eat, let's eat, let's eat …" Sandora's eyes were practically glowing as she dragged me along with her. Her hunger had caused our queen to lose all sense of reason, but she soon returned. "Ah, Liliana, where's the arena?"
Liliana looked at the two of us and said, "First, the arena is two hundred meters ahead and turn left. Second, the angle of boss's arm seems very strange …"
The second point should be stated first!
A hungry queen is terrifying. When raising Sandora, you must remember one thing: Don't let this girl starve for more than sixty minutes. Otherwise, the mountains and rivers will change color, and people will be plunged into misery and suffering. In any case, you will definitely be plunged into misery and suffering.
"This is the legendary … Culinary Grand Prix and Eating Competition?"
A few minutes later, our group of hungry ghosts looked at the arena in front of us, which was shaped like the World Martial Arts Tournament, as well as the several banners fluttering in the wind on the arena. We were all shocked.
It was indeed worthy of being a venue that was rented by more than a dozen worlds. Today, we finally got it. After the Culinary Competition, will this place be transferred to Master Roshi's group?
Liliana hurriedly ran to sign up for the Eating Competition. Of course, she signed up for the group quota. According to the requirements of the competition, no matter if it was a group registration or an individual registration, no food was allowed to be left behind. Otherwise, it would be regarded as a failure. I firmly believed that with Sandora, even if we signed up for a group of ten thousand people, we would still win.
It was a pity that I didn't drag Anveena with me. When that extremely shy little maid heard that there were at least a million visitors who had squeezed into the Shadow City to participate in the carnival, she was so scared that she immediately turned into a crow and refused to come out of her nest. Otherwise, we could have won two prizes here today …
I looked at the list of participants from both sides posted not far away and couldn't help but disdain Liu Angxing, Sebastian, Sanji and the others on it. Do you know how to process a reinforced concrete isolation block into the flavor of Yangzhou fried rice? Do you know how to stir-fry a warship's communication cable to make it fragrant and crispy? Do you know how much heat should be used to steam Huangshan White Jade to make it look like tofu?
If you can't do the above three things, then don't even think about mentioning the word 'cooking' to my number one maid in the world!
Anveena's ability in some aspects was simply brutal to the point that she could challenge the God's domain with her mortal body.
However, it didn't matter if Anveena didn't come, we still had a fellow who was almost as brutal as her. When Monina saw the kitchen utensils, she immediately ran to sign up.
"Speaking of which, other than eating, this cooking competition seems to be pretty good too," Sandora looked at the God of Cooking who were preparing for the competition not far away, her eyes sparkling. "If I learn how to cook, I can cook for Ah Jun!"
My eyes instantly filled with tears, "Babe, the people here have no grudges against you …"
"Chen? Why are you here? "
While I was commenting on the list of participating chefs, an unexpected voice suddenly sounded behind me, causing me to be stunned.
Turning my head, I saw a golden ahoge spinning in the air, then pointing straight at the other side of the arena where the eating king competition was being held. Below the ahoge stood a Queen. "Could it be …"
The Queen named Artoria saw Sandora grinding her teeth at a glance, and her face suddenly became solemn.
"Could it be …" I nudged Sandora next to me, "Her Majesty the Queen is hungry. Speaking of which, are you also here to participate?"
Saber's face showed a solemn expression, "I heard that there is an unlimited supply of free lunch here. In order to ensure that I have enough physical strength for the competition in the afternoon, I came here to eat!"
Alright, in fact, I should have thought of this a long time ago. How could such a scene be without the City of Shadows' Glutton No. 2? She was a magical creature that could breed a colorful Saber squad in less than half a month as long as there was enough food and light.
"To be honest, I feel a little sorry for the unlucky people who participated in the cooking competition." Due to my repeated reminders, Icetis had to obediently follow us today. She stuck out her tongue and looked at the various God of Cooking's confident expressions, "They will definitely die of exhaustion. Although it can't be compared to Sandora, Lin's appetite is definitely more than this ahoge's!"
I said, "… We won't be treated as people who came to cause trouble, right?"
Perhaps there were quite a few people who came to participate in this purely entertaining eating competition for fame and prizes. However, when there were three genuine hungry ghosts among the participants, this competition became a private feast for some unscrupulous freeloaders to fill their stomachs. There was no need to describe the process of the competition in detail. In any case, the last scene that remained in my mind was the scene of them bending over the table and chewing, bending over the table and chewing again.
There was no doubt about the result of the competition. Sandora had a terrifying advantage over the other contestants. After she finished eating, there were only two referees and a few contestants left in the ring. Looking at the empty ring, the organizer of the competition had tears in his eyes and was extremely excited, "Ladies and gentlemen, Her Majesty the Queen has won the championship of this eating competition, but I'm afraid the award ceremony will have to be canceled. Please understand our difficulties, Her Majesty the Queen … The last thing you ate was the trophy …"
Fortunately, Sandora won the competition. Otherwise, we would have to compensate her with a trophy!
"What an amazing appetite." Before we parted ways, Artoria once again expressed his sincere respect for losing to Sandora in terms of appetite. "And you didn't waste any food. As a king, you are very outstanding!"
The two Queens with amazing appetites looked at each other, appreciating each other. Behind me, Monina stretched her wrists in satisfaction. "Ha, it's been a long time since I've cooked to my heart's content. Lin, you did a good job today. That Liu Ang Xing guy seems to be foaming at the mouth from just cooking for you!"
"Ugh …" The Dragon God, who had been eating the entire competition and had just been teased by Icetis, whined in distress. "Did I eat too much?"
"You'll only have strength if you're full!" Saber immediately said to the Dragon God with a serious expression.
Aren't you afraid that your words will scare her into not eating for the rest of her life? The word 'strength' is taboo in front of Lin!
"Oh right, Artoria, what did you prepare for the competition in the afternoon?"
I suddenly remembered what Artoria had just mentioned and couldn't help but be curious.
"Ah, it's just for our own entertainment," Artoria said generously. "We intend to have another Holy Grail War …"
Everyone was speechless.
The Ahoge King, who couldn't see the atmosphere, continued, "Although it's a friendly competition, it's still worth going all out."
I raised my hand. "May I ask: Are you sure it's the 'Holy Grail' War? If it's a normal arena, would it need the name of a remnant? "
The Ahoge King smiled freely. "Because the highest prize in the arena is a cup: the kind that my Lord uses to bathe. Didn't you donate one to the Temple of Light?"
I was speechless.
So the Sixth Holy Grail War is just a bunch of bored Heroic Spirits fighting over a five-dollar plastic cup in a carnival?
"Ah, a competition!" Just as I was complaining about the cruelty of the Sixth Holy Grail War, Visca, who had been quietly hugging my arm and listening to the adults, suddenly exclaimed, "Brother, brother! I have a competition with Big Sister Idiot this afternoon! "
Everyone instantly fell silent.
I used five seconds to translate Visca's words into various languages and finally confirmed one fact: I wasn't hearing things.
"A competition … You two?"
With a conflicted expression, I looked at the violent twin sisters. I couldn't imagine that the two of them would also sign up for the competition during the carnival. Could it be that this sunny and harmonious carnival on the surface had a hellish coliseum, asura killing competition, organ feast, and other such disharmonious shows in the dark?
"Sports."
It was probably because the expression on my face was too obvious that even Pandora couldn't help but hit her brother's stomach with her head. The little lass simply said three words.
"It's the competition of the military school festival." Visca shook my arm. "The Osaka had a preliminary competition and in the end, there were more than two thousand participants who tied for first place. They had no choice but to change the rules and change it to the Osaka inviting the transmigrators who came to participate in the carnival as external help. The stronger external help represents the class's victory … Yep, it's red and purple!"
I was speechless: That works? Does the Osaka still have any meaning to this kind of competition?
"Anyway, it's an entertainment competition during the carnival," Visca blinked his red cat eyes and said excitedly, "It doesn't matter whether it's fair or not. What's important is to have fun together!"
"One last question." The elder sister raised her eyebrows and looked at Weska, who was excited to find something fun to play with, and Pandora, who looked helpless. "Isn't it against the rules for both of you to participate in the competition?"
It's not just against the rules!
I wasn't surprised that the Osaka and Visca were able to get along well. Due to their similar fates, the former quickly became familiar with my cat-eyed sister after the City of Shadows. Different from his sister who kept strangers away, Visca was a curious baby and a doer. Although her personality was a little strange, you can't deny her enthusiasm in making friends with the Osaka. Over time, there were a few Osaka who naturally became good friends with this cat-eyed loli. Coupled with his natural curiosity, it was possible that Visca was persuaded to participate and even dragged his sister along.
But the problem was: If these two with 100,000 horsepower participated, would the others still be able to compete?
"Of course there are restrictions!" Visca explained enthusiastically as he pulled us towards the public transport plane, "All the participants have to be restricted to the physique of a normal human. Other than individual skills, speed and strength are all restricted. After all, there are all kinds of people participating. Second year class four even found two young Ultraman to participate in the long jump competition …"
"The technical department prepared a strength locking device, so there's no problem." Pandora said expressionlessly with a deep resentment in her tone. This girl must have been dragged here by her younger sister's persistent pestering.
During the carnival period, the City of Shadows opened up a large number of public transport planes for the more 'normal' or lazy tourists to quickly move to the venue. Riding on these small transport planes, we arrived in front of the Imperial Army Military Academy in a short while.
Although the main venue of the carnival was on the plains at the edge of the City of Shadows, the city was also a sea of joy for the festivities. Most of the tourists were naturally very interested in the performances on the plains, but there were also many people who were curious about the local customs of the capital of the Empire. Therefore, the flow of people in the City of Shadows was not small, and most of them were visitors who came late for various reasons. They had not yet had the time to recover from the novelty of the Capital of Worlds.
At the entrance of the Military Academy, we first met a familiar face.
"Ah! Uncle Alien! "
I'm really sorry for the way I called her, my Miss Haruka.
That's right, the beautiful girl who appeared in front of me was wearing red casual clothes and had her hair in two ponytails. It was Haruka Rin whom I hadn't seen for a while.
"You have to call me big brother!"
It took me less than a second to charge up, aim, and plan my attack. Then, I dashed forward, clenched my fist, and forcefully punched a certain tsundere twintailed girl's head. Instantly, Rin Enaka's sorrowful wail could be heard.
What's worth mentioning here is that even though my movements were swift, Mercury Lamp, who was sitting on my shoulder and holding my head, didn't shake in the slightest. Her horsemanship had practically reached lvl 5. Speaking of which, could it be that this puppet's hidden job class was Rider?
After punishing the venomous-tongued demon in front of me for a full minute, I put down my hand and lightly pressed on her head. "Why are you only here now? Didn't you send the invitation a long time ago? "
"This … This … Aha, ahahaha …"
Ling immediately looked around. "Actually, there are all kinds of reasons …"
You really don't know how to lie, my Miss.
My suspicions didn't last long, as a voice beside me mercilessly revealed the truth.
"Actually, they arrived two days ago, but this idiotic older sister was obsessed with money and tried to take a gem from the crystal sign of the dimensional hub. She was discovered by the patrolling Town Security, and in the end, they were all knocked down by the Red-White Town Security and sent to the Town Security team. Because they felt that it was embarrassing, they didn't dare to reveal their identities, and they didn't meet anyone who recognized them, so they were only released now — — that's all."
Looking towards the source of the voice, I saw the purple-haired girl, Kagura Sakura, who had a bitter expression on her face, and Aardwolf Omiya, who was standing beside her and showing all kinds of astonishment at everything around him.
Oh, oh, oh, you were detained by the Town Security for two days because you were openly breaking into public property at the train station. Is Haruka already so poor?
"How would I know that I would be arrested!" Ling's face flushed red as she muttered to herself, "If it was an alien uncle's things, wouldn't he be able to take anything he wanted? Who knew that the Red-White Town Security would be so indiscriminate. Seriously, you kidnapped an ignorant girl again … Ugh, who are these people?"
Haruka muttered for a while before she suddenly realized that there were quite a lot of people she didn't know. Not to mention the five Protoss Cops, it was even her first time meeting Gaia. This translucent beautiful older sister made our Miss Ling extremely curious: I've known this bunch of Empire leaders for so long, why would they suddenly have a person who seems to still have some integrity by their side?
Although the above was just my imagination, I knew what Haruka was thinking just by looking at Haruka's expression.
I'm really sorry, Gaia. Looking at the projection girl who had a tranquil smile on her face, my heart was conflicted. As the only Shiring Apostles among us with integrity, it must have been hard on you.
"Alright, alright, don't complain anymore. Let me introduce you." I rubbed Haruka's head. After knowing that this seemingly stubborn Miss actually had a heart that hoped to be doted on by the elders, this move was simply too effective against her. "This is Gaia, a rather special Shiring Apostles. However, he is also my good friend. These few are here to make a living …"
After diverting Haruka's attention and calming down a little, I greeted the good old Wei Gong whom I hadn't seen for a long time. After walking up to this orange haired boy whose personality was quite to my liking, I put on an amiable expression and said, "Wei Gong, how's your house?"
Wei Gong was stunned for a moment, "… It's fine, it's fine …"
"Is the road condition in front of your house okay?"
"… It's fine, it's fine …"
"There haven't been any earthquakes or explosions recently, right?"
"No …"
"Then I'm relieved." I felt gratified, "When I have time, I'll go over to your place. I feel bad for causing so much trouble for you the last time."
Wei Gong teared up, "… Okay …"
