Chapter 483 - Really Powerful Monsters
To be honest, I wouldn’t have known what was going on if it wasn’t for the Live-commentary. From what I saw, the rings that were thrown upwards were falling down in zigzagging motion, and when the other person tried defending herself with her rings, I heard something that sounded like an explosion…… It totally looked like I’m watching some kind of martial arts movie.
[Well~~ That was a great match, wasn’t it? As expected of Nightmare.]
[Yes, when Nightmare announces her Shooting Star, she defeats anyone other than Rank-2 “Baby Castella Mask”.]
[Yeah, that was a great fight they had that day! I thought Nightmare was finally going to lose for the first time, but then, she had turned the tables!]
[………………..]
That’s weird. For some reason, I kind of feel like I know who that Rank-2 person is. Isn’t that Kuro? Hey, that’s Kuro, right?
[I really like Baby Castella Mask. I can’t really see her face because of her mask, but I think she probably pays her respects to Kuromu-sama with her outfit. That’s why I’ve always been rooting for her, but she doesn’t participate in many official games.]
[I’m sure she’s powerful, so she may possess a social standing that made her considerably busy. Still, she’s undefeated against everyone except Nightmare, which rightfully makes her World Rank-2.]
[I don’t know why she hasn’t been on “Night Games” since the beginning of this year. I can only watch Night Games since it was held after clinic hours were over, so I haven’t been able to see if she had any matches lately.]
[Maybe she’s got a family now or something. That’s why she’s spending the night with them.]
[…………………]
……She’s Kuro, right? She’s definitely Kuro, right? The only reason she hadn’t joined those Night Games is that she’s been visiting my room every night, right?
World Rank-1 is Alice and World Rank-2 is Kuro? This World Rank…… I have a feeling like I would know who the other people in it are.
[……I am rooting for World Rank-5 “Royal Runaway Mermaid”. It looks like she’s hiding her face, but it seems like she’s an ally of the mermaids, so I rather like her.]
[Ahh~~ That Quoits Elite is also good. She puts up a great, solid fight. But sometimes, knight-looking people would suddenly appear and drag her away, making her lose by default, right?]
[From her name, she’s most probably working for the royal palace, so she must have been in trouble.]
[………………….]
I think I also have an idea who that person is…… That’s Laguna-san, right? Aren’t those knights coming out and making her lose by default is because she skipped out on a meeting or something again, right?
Or rather, Laguna-san, who is known as the strongest person in the Human Realm, is in fifth place, so I think there’s a high probability that the people higher-ranked than her are people I know. I’m sure that Megiddo-san is one of them, since I’m sure that the battle-loving Megiddo wouldn’t let the opportunity to participate in a competition escape…… My head hurts.
[Ahh, I’m sorry, Miyama-kun. We got excited about a topic that was difficult for Miyama-kun to understand.]
[Ah, no……]
[My apologies. I also got unintentionally excited. Well then, let’s stop with the talk about RINGTOSS, let’s go see where we’re going next.]
[……Yes.]
Seeing the complicated expression on my face, Dr. Vier and Neun-san seemed to be worried that I couldn’t keep up with the RINGTOSS topic, and suggested that we go to the next place.
Well, I certainly wasn’t able to keep up with them in many ways, so I nodded gratefully and left the Battle Grounds, which was still filled with excitement.
[Even so, there really are many people with monsters in tow. It’s amazing to see so many of them today.]
[Come to think of it, aren’t monsters expensive?]
As I walked along the two ladies, looking at the stalls, we saw people with all kinds of monsters. Of course, there are also people with normal animals as well, so not all of them had monsters with them but……
[Unnn. That’s why, one would have to be reasonably wealthy to have one. Well, I guess there are a lot of rich people who are invited to the Six Kings Festival.]
[……I see. However, I haven’t seen this much monsters in my life, so this feels pretty new to me. Even just looking at them feels fun.]
[Right~~ Oh, it’s a wild cat. It’s so cute~~]
As we walked along, exchanging small talk, a person with a cat about two meters in size passed by in front of us. It seemed to be a monster called Wild Cat…… It really is cute and has fluffy fur. Well, Bell is a few hundred times cuter though!
Thereupon, Dr. Vier tried to reach out her hand…… but the Wild Cat moved with frightening speed and hid behind her owner, trembling.
[……She doesn’t have to be that scared……]
[Vier’s magic power is enormous after all. Weak monsters are especially sensitive to magic power.]
[……It’s not like I’m going to eat her…… Haahhh……]
After she unintentionally frightened the Wild Cat, Dr. Vier’s shoulders slumped and she continued walking. Chuckling at her adorable reaction, I followed her.
Then, just as I passed the person with the Wild Cat, the Wild Cat glanced at me……
[Nyan.]
……and snorted. The cat seriously just snorted.
I was shocked in a different way than Dr. Vier. Maybe it was because my magic power was low.
[Gurururururu.]
As I was about to shrug my shoulders at her reaction, I heard an angry snarl from behind me. When I timidly looked behind me, I saw Bell threatening the Wild Cat, buzzing electricity generating in his jet-black horns.
On one hand is the Wild Cat that got frightened just at the mere sight of Dr. Vier, and on the other hand is Bell, a being known as a legendary magical beast. The glaring Wild Cat clearly started shaking.
[……B- Bell, calm down, don’t threaten the cat.]
[……Gao.]
[Okay, okay, you’re mad for my sake, right? Thanks.]
[Kuuun.]
Looking at the Wild Cat, who looked like a frog that was being stared at by a snake, I calmed Bell down. Then, I said a few words of apology to the Wild Cat’s owner, and followed Dr. Vier and Neun-san.
Dear Mom, Dad———— It seems like my magic power is just too miniscule even from the eyes of a monster. Well, putting that aside…… Bell is just a baby, right? And yet, for the Wild Cat to be that frightened, then Behemoths must be———— really powerful monsters.
