It was about nine o'clock in the morning.

The streets are filled with excitement and the noise of dancing along with it.

At this time, although some adventurers stayed behind to prepare for the monster festival, more adventurers still chose to go to the dungeon.

For the adventurers of Lv?1, who account for nearly half of the entire adventurer class, the rewards of a day's hard work in the dungeon can only sustain their expenses for a few days, so if they don't go to the dungeon on any day, it means that they may live a poor life.

Therefore, the vast majority of those who were able to stay and participate in the monster festival were actually ordinary people living in Orali, except for those high-ranking adventurers and low-ranking adventurers who had the protection of large clans.

On Main Street of Higashi, where a large number of civilians gathered, countless stalls were placed on the roadside.

The street is filled with fragrant smells, and the sound of barbecued meat and the cries of vendors constantly echo in the crowd.

The whole street has been decorated with gorgeous ribbons and beautiful flowers at this time, and it looks more prosperous than ever.

Most passers-by have small colorful flags connected by ropes, or printed with patterns representing monsters, or printed with the words "Ganesha? Clan] - a large elephant's head.

The excited children were held by their mothers to prevent them from being separated, and even the sun seemed to know that today was a celebration, and the light was extraordinarily warm.

"Wow! Wow! ”

"Fran! This way, this way! ”

“bilibili，bilibili……”

Yui, Flandoro, and Misaka Misaka ran happily down the street under the doting eyes of Yuriko Ichiban and Sesta. One moment I ran to the stall selling barbecue, picked up a skewer and ran, and the other ran to the equipment stall that sold the adventurers below, and played with those seemingly sharp but ordinary swords without any scruples.

Seeing Yuriko holding her hands on her chest coldly, disapproving, Shesta could only sigh with tears and laughter, and helplessly trotted behind a few little guys. Keep paying and apologizing to those stall owners.

Fortunately, Shesta is now very skilled, and she will not worry about falling when she runs on the crowded streets in a cumbersome maid outfit and high heels.

"Yuriko! Take care of those children! It's too messy! ”

In the face of Shesta's complaints, Yuriko snorted coldly and arrogantly: "It's okay if they're happy, it doesn't matter what the others are." ”

- Your lolicon attribute is hopeless, hey!!

Bell, who was following behind, touched the back of his head and laughed, then sighed and shook his head.

The silver-haired teenager was also infected by the lively atmosphere, and a smile unconsciously appeared on his face.

The red eyes radiated a sparkling look. Although Bell is still only a Lv?1 level adventurer, his attributes have improved rapidly.

Although he has not yet awakened his [Magic] and [Skills], and his level has not increased, Bell is no longer the same as when he first came to Eulari.

Because of this, although Yuriko Ichibana and the others will still put a lot of pressure on Bell, the silver-haired boy can now laugh from the bottom of his heart.

"That, Miss Yuriko, Miss Shesta......"

Cute little bunny, Bell. He called out to the two people in front of him.

Yuriko, who was a little further back, turned her head slightly, staring at Bell with blood-colored eyes without any emotion.

Being looked at like this, Bell couldn't help but shudder.

[It's terrible, no matter how many times it is, it feels terrible to be stared at like this by Miss Yuriko......]

Taking a deep breath and trying to calm his somewhat fluctuating mood, Bell said, "Lord God...... You've arrived at the gods' viewing table, right? ”

nodded, and did not reply directly.

Bell, who had long been accustomed to Yuriko's attitude, was unimpressed. He continued: "Then shouldn't we be faster?" The festival looks like it's about to begin. ”

Bell's words were confirmed by the rumbling of a cannon salute over the arena in the distance.

The crowd on the street burst into high-pitched cheers. The festival begins.

◇

With a loud cheer, the monster festival began.

In the arena, as the dust was raised, a monster freed from its chains roared and rushed in a straight line.

In front of this huge pig monster [War Feather], which was two meters tall, was a woman who was single-handedly on guard.

With her short hair fluttering in the wind, she managed to dodge the monster's attacks without danger.

The cheers in the audience overlapped with each other. As the women's performances grew louder and louder.

A whirlpool of sweaty enthusiasm surrounds the arena, which can accommodate 50,000 people.

The monster in the center of the field completely liberated its ferocity for the sake of today's capture, and kicked its limbs hard at the prey in his eyes.

In the face of this pig that can easily be smashed by rocks, [Ganesha? The Clansman's Tuner easily avoided it, while not forgetting to raise his arms and enjoy the cheers and solidarity around him.

The monster is roaring. The host was enthusiastically narrating through a megaphone made of magic stones, and the audience cheered continuously.

Fran, who had never seen such a scene, couldn't help but jump up and stand in her place, raising her arms and cheering loudly.

The little girl was unsteady on her feet, and her petite body fell forward.

Shesta, who was on the side, quickly reached out and hugged Fran, and gently patted the little head with the white soft hat in the little girl's grinning gaze.

"Hee-hee-hee-hee-hee......"

The happy little face of Fran rubbed against Shesta's thigh, and received a disgusted look from Miss Maid.

"Be careful."

"Uh-huh! Fran got it! ”

"Fran is very happy."

"I'm so happy, I've never seen so many people when I was in the Red Devil Pavilion! There was no ...... at the banquet It would be nice if my sister could play with me! ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire arena erupted in a violent cheer, and the wave of noise even blew away the hat on Fran's head.

Sesta grabbed the hat and put it on Fran's head anew, then simply picked her up and placed her on her lap.

"When Yakumo-sama finds us, this world will be able to connect with Gensokyo, and Fran can play with your sister at any time, so be obedient now."

"Uh-huh! Good boy! ”

Shesta gently hugged Fran and turned her head to look at Yuriko Ichiko, who was sitting beside her.

"Speaking of which, what about Bell-kun?"

"I don't know, it seems that he hung too far behind us on the road, and someone stopped him."

"Huh!? Why didn't you tell us? ”

"That rabbit can't be lost, don't worry."

Shesta let out an "oh" and suppressed her worries.

After all, they are companions of the same family, and it is Bell who brought her and Misaka Misaka to Olali, and everyone is also a friend, and if something happens to Bell, Sesta will also be very worried.

◇

Underneath the arena, in front of the gloomy monster detention chamber.

From those who were brought down by themselves [Ganesha?] The members of the clan stepped over and Freya stood in front of a cage.

The eyes of the caged monster were restrained by the shining silver hair and the same silver eyes.

Even the ferocious beasts could not escape the influence of her beauty.

“…… Nice looks, since that's the case, it's decided that it's you. ”

The eyes of the wild ape monster [Silver Guard] were rolling slightly, and his breathing became a little short. It felt the eyes of the goddess.

The white fingers gently stroked the iron rope on the top of the cage, and the heavy iron rope fell.

The freed monster roared, rushed out of its cage, and ran outside.

"Oh yes, what kind of show is going on?"

Freya looked at the monster's running back and said to herself.

"So, now that the rabbit's prey is ready, let's prepare the prey of the other children while enjoying the show."

"Really...... I'm looking forward to it! (To be continued......)
