Chapter 482: Im Pretty Sure Thats Alice (1/2)

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.
