Chapter 482: 482

The fourth day of the Six King Festival was hosted by the Dragon King Magnawell . The theme of the festival seemed to be “Interacting with Monsters” .

Listening to just this alone gives the impression that the festival would be like a zoo, the city filled with different kinds of monsters, but in fact, there were many stalls that could be found in a normal festival . However, there were many Monster factors in them, such as a slime-shaped drink containers or dragon masks for sale .

[Ahh, Miyama-kun . They have grilled wyvern meat skewers over there . ]

[I bought some earlier…… Is wyvern meat actually a famous ingredient?]

[Wyverns are weak monsters, but there are many of them . That’s why they’re very popular as food . ]

[She’s right . Red dragons and black dragons may be better in terms of taste, but wyverns are easy to hunt . ]

Dr . Vier answered my question with a bright smile, to which Neun-san agreed .

This is the opinion of the former Hero and the former Demon King though . However, the Red Bear Sandwich stall lady, who was a civilian, told me that wyverns are very dangerous monsters .

[However, it’s a bit surprising . I thought that since it was a monster-oriented festival, there would be lots of humongous monsters around . ]

[Miyama-kun, not all monsters are as big as Bell-chan, you know?]

[I see…… Speaking of which, I know it’s a bit late to ask this but…… What’s the difference between those who were called Monsters and those who were called Demons?]

[Simply put, it’s about magic power and knowledge . Monsters that have a certain level of magic and wisdom are classified as Demons because they don’t just indiscriminately attack people . Well, I heard that there are some detailed criteria regarding this, but I don’t know that much about them, since the people making such judgments are under Magnawell-sama’s command . ]

In other words, if they have the knowledge to act rationally and hold some extent of power, they’re considered as a Demon huh……

[Well, I don’t think we need to think too much about it though . If Magnawell-sama considers them as Monster, then Monster it is then . ]

[I see……]

[Even so…… The atmosphere of festivals has changed after a long time passed huh…… It feels kind of refreshing . ]

[Vier hadn’t even participated in the Festival of Heroes for a long time after all . In the past thousand years, a lot of things have been handed down from the world Kaito-san and I were in and made this world change . ]

It seems like Dr . Vier had never been to a festival before for the past thousand years, and was looking at the stalls here and there with great interest .

She was especially excited about the takoyakis and other food stalls that have been handed down from our world . She looked more childish than usual, which made her look kind of cute .

I could fortunately teach her a lot of things that have been handed down from the world I was in, and I hope that Dr . Vier enjoys the festival .

As we walked along thinking about this, I heard a loud cheer a little further away, which made me curious and turned my head to look .

[……Ahh, even I know what that is . That’s “RINGTOSS”, right!?]

[………………… . ]

……That thing that was different from the one I know just came out of nowhere!? I- I even heard that it was called a Super-exciting battle sport…… But to be honest, I’d like to see something scary .

[They may be having a match over there . RINGTOSS was quite an intense game, so why don’t we have a look? Is Kaito-san okay with that?]

[Eh? Yes, I’m fine with it . ]

Neun-san had already lived in this world for a thousand years, so I guess she wasn’t surprised about how different the RINGTOSS in this world was .

Though I say that, I also wanted to check it out too, so I nodded at Neun-san’s suggestion and we decided to head towards there .

As the cheers led us to the place where the RINGTOSS was being held, I heard what seems to be a Live-commentary being broadcasted using Loudspeaker Magic on the way .

“Now then, let’s introduce our competitors . First, from the red corner! “The World Rank-16 A-Class Quoits Elite”, a master of RINGTOSS’ famous “Kagura” technique! Will she be able to win with her signature “Gun & Stay” strategy!?”

Oooiiii, just when I thought I’d finally stop getting confused about the words I know, I heard another set of unfamiliar words!? A-Class Quoits Elite!? World Rank!? Seriously, what the heck is RINGTOSS…… . It’s kind of scaring me now……

Even though we haven’t moved to a position where we can see the game well yet, I’m already feeling filled up with the Live-commentary .

“And then, and then…… From the blue corner, she finally makes her entrance! “World Rank-1”! She who stands at the top of all the Quoits Elites! “Mysterious Transcendental Beauty Quoits Elite” Nightmaaaaaaareeeeee!!!”

[……………………]

……That’s Alice . I’m pretty sure that’s Alice…… You’re the world’s rank 1!?

In a match I knew nothing about, someone I definitely turned out to be the champion…… How am I supposed to deal with these inexplicable feelings?

[I- It’s amazing, Vier! They’re having a match with the Undefeated Champion, Nightmare today!]

[We’re so lucky! She rarely shows up outside of official matches……]

[……………… . . ]

And then, my two companions began getting really excited . I don’t know what’s going on, but I feel like I’m the only sober person in a crowd of drunkards…… My head hurts .

“Whoa there, could this be!? Nightmare is pointing at the sky! There it is! It’s her preliminary announcement: “Shooting Star”!!! The audience are getting very excited!”

[……………… . ]

[T- The legendary special move…… Shooting Star…… A- Are we going to witness it?]

[Don’t worry, Vier! Whenever Nightmare announces Shooting Star, it’s the Shooting Star that wins the game!]

I’m no longer surprised by the unfamiliar words . With cold eyes, I just quietly waited for time to pass .

Dear Mom, Dad————- Just as the Live-commentary said, the audience is very excited, including Dr . Vier and Neun-san…… I just can’t seem to get along with the flow though . I can’t keep up with their excitement at all…… I mean———– I’m pretty sure that’s Alice .
