Chapter 1394 - Connection Event ⑥

After playing with the Petite Devi in the small-sized monsters area, we decided to move to the large-sized monsters area next. In the large-sized monsters area, there are monsters over 5m in size, which means that each and every one of them would be huge.

The Red Dragon and Fenrir I saw in the Monster Race were also here. Rather, this Fenrir has a scar on its chest that looks like a hole has been sealed up, so couldn’t this be the same Fenrir Bell had shot with her Breath?

[Here in the large-sized monsters area, there aren’t many monsters you can directly interact with huh?]

[There are a lot of them with rough temperaments after all. Because of the magic casted on them, they aren’t able to harm people, but even so, many people are scared of them when beings of that size threaten them.]

Incidentally, even if the fences surrounding them are broken, the monsters here aren’t allowed to go outside because there’s a Barrier Magic surrounding them in place, but even if that were the case, many of the monsters couldn’t be directly interacted with because of the possibility of a panic occurring.

However, the guests are allowed to touch the quieter monsters.

[Understandable, I guess. Not everyone is as docile and nice as Bell.]

[……Rather, Behemoths were originally monsters with a considerably rough temper…… It was just that Bell-chan is deeply attached to Kaito-san, so she follows Kaito-san’s instructions properly.]

Now that Sieg-san mentioned it, that certainly was the case. To me, Bell is a docile and cute monster, but Behemoths…… Even though that one I met before seemed to have felt despair, they were originally beings who would attack even Lillywood-san, who was overwhelmingly superior to them, so if you think about it, they might have a rough temperament.

[As expected, there are no colossal-sized monsters here huh.]

[They do have to consider the space of the venue for them after all. Besides, when it comes to colossal-sized monsters, most of them would be Dragons. Unlike the large-sized Red Dragons that are recognized as monsters, capturing a Dragon that is recognized as a Demon is like picking a fight with Dragon King-sama, so it’s basically illegal to catch colossal-sized monsters. Well, colossal-sized monsters are quite strong in the first place, so even if someone tries, they won’t be able to capture them easily. Incidentally, there are a few colossal-sized monsters that aren’t recognized as Demons…… monsters with low intelligence, but they’re under the protection of Dragon King-sama.]

Come to think of it, putting aside those with several tens of meters in size, I don’t think I’ve ever seen monsters exceeding 100m that aren’t Dragons or Demons. After all, Dragons that grow to that size are highly intelligent, so they probably won’t go on a rampage recklessly.

[I see…… Unfortunately, it seems that the interaction tickets for this area are sold out. I suppose we can just take a look around, but what should we do after that? It would be boring to go home right after finishing the tour, and it will be evening by the time we finish the tour, so would you like to have dinner somewhere?]

We had to line up to interact with the monsters along the way, so some time had passed, and since the venue itself was so large, it felt like it would be evening by the time we finished looking around.

When I asked her what we were going to do after we finished the tour, Sieg-san looked at me a little hesitantly and then slowly opened her mouth.

[……A- Actually, you see, there’s also an evening session at this event, and there are some monsters I would like to see at that session as well……]

[An evening session?]

[Yes, there are a lot of nocturnal monsters there……]

[Ahh, now that you mentioned it, there would certainly be something like that huh. Well then, after dinner, let’s go back and look around the evening session. Even if we get late here, we can just go home quickly with the Teleportation Magic Tool anyway.]

[……A- About that!]

[Yes?]

Convinced that there would certainly be an evening session for the nocturnal monsters, just as I thought it was decided that we would be touring the evening session as well, Sieg-san looked as if she had made up her mind about something. Her face also seemed to be blushing a bit.

[Umm, we went out of our way to go on a distant trip, so wouldn’t it be rather bland for it to just be a day trip? Why don’t we stay the night before going home?]

[We certainly don’t have to rush going home, and since I haven’t seen any other places other than this venue, that does sound like a good idea…… but do you think we can just find a place to stay right away?]

[Actually…… Errr, I’ve already made reservations in advance.]

[Eh? Is that right…… For me too?]

[Yes. I’m sorry it took me so long to tell you.]

[Ah, no, that’s no problem, but here, for the lodging fees……]

It seems that Sieg-san had already booked an inn. Naturally, there are no online reservations in this world, so Sieg-san must have come to this city once and made the reservation beforehand.

Most of the inn fees are basically paid in advance, and the fact that my room is also reserved means that Sieg-san has already paid for me, so I took out my wallet to hand over the money. However, Sieg-san stopped me.

[No, I was always indebted to Kaito-san, and this was something I did of my own volition, so I’ll pay for this myself.]

[……I- I see, I understand.]

Sieg-san’s expression is filled with strong will, so it seemed like it would be better to just obediently accept her kindness. When I nodded, thinking that I would pay for our dinner instead, Sieg-san softly whispered something.

[……Since I’ve reserved a room for us……]

[Eh? Did you say something?]

[I didn’t say anything! Now, let’s go!]

I couldn’t hear her because her voice was too quiet, so I asked her back, but Sieg-san just shook her head, pulled my hand, and started to walk forward, looking a bit flustered.

<Afterword>

Serious-senpai : [A- Aaahhh…… Uwaaahhhh!?]

? ? ? : [Whoa, Sieg-san’s coming in with a strong offensive. It seems like sugar production would soon be increasing.]
