Mythical Slayer: Mythical Girls Contract-Chapter 39 39 – Monsters

?"Ladies and Gentlemen from whatever Races or Tribes you are! Welcome to the Monster show at the 95th Oni Festival!"

A beautiful blue Oni girl with short black hair appeared on the stage and excitedly greeted the crowd with a microphone. She wore a traditional red kimono with long sleeves that fluttered in the air due to the wind.

Her voice could be heard clearly even with the loud crowd cheering for an exciting match. The energy behind her voice also made the crowd become more energetic.

Even Kai felt their spirit increase through their shout.

"This time, we managed to catch 3 monsters! All of them are caught around Mount Oeyama, and all of them are vicious! Do you think the young Onis would be able to defeat them?"

"Good luck, young Onis!"

"You can do it!"

"I will let the strongest sleep with me!"

Some Oni girls and one indecent Devil girl shouted. The last shout suddenly grabbed everyone's attention, and the young Onis, who had already lined up at the side of the arena, roared, shaking the entire area.

"Woah, that's some intense roar," Kai commented as he plugged his ears and retreated a bit away from the arena with Amber. They were at the corner of the clearing, beside the stall where they had bought the tea earlier.

"Men are the same everywhere. When there is a beautiful girl with some indecent clothes shouting for them, they become like a beast."

"Fufufu, are you not like that too?" Amber teased him from the side, pushing her breasts against his left arm. "Didn't you defeat Ranga after I shouted for you?"

"That's just your imagination. I only respected Ranga's battle spirit. That's why I got serious when fighting him. As proof, my hands cracked a little, though it was healed almost instantly by the fire."

"Well, that was because you were still not used to your power. Now that your Spirit Power reserve has increased from our bond, you will be able to defeat Ranga without getting injured."

"You're not wrong."

Kai indeed felt a bit stronger than before. His physical ability was increased, and he could control Phoenix fire easier. All his ability was increased due to his increased bond with Amber, something he just found out yesterday.

The shout intensified as the announcer introduced the first fighter.

"It seems the fight has begun, Kai. Look!"

Kai turned toward the arena and noticed a red Oni waving his hand toward the crowd. His face looked average, and his horns weren't as impressive as Ranga. They were a bit short. Still, his body was muscular, and he looked like he could crush steel barehanded.

"As our first fighter is here, bring out the monster!"

As the announcer said that, a loud roar came from the street behind her that connected to the outskirt of the village. A loud rumbling of hard tires meeting hard ground followed suit with a rattling sound of chains.

After a while, three carts pulled by three middle-aged red Onis appeared. The crowd parted to give way to them before they stopped near the arena behind the announcer in succession. Kai noticed the monster inside the cage.

From the one closest to the arena was a one-meter big monster with a cat-like body. Its green eyes glared at the crowd with an open mouth filled with razor-sharp teeth.

The prison behind him and the one after had similar creatures. They were ape-like monsters; the second cage had white color while the third cage had black color. Their sizes also vary, with the former only 2 meters tall and the latter two and a half meters tall.

All of them were bound by a collar and chains, so they couldn't move freely.

Kai now understood what a monster was. Indeed, they still looked like an animal, but they were ferocious. Their fangs looked like they could rip a human's body easily, and their claws could rip someone's neck like paper.

"So these are monsters…" He muttered in a low voice.

"Indeed," Amber replied, backing away a little and releasing Kai's arm. "You want to see them, right?"

"Yeah. But Malice looked way scarier than them."

"That's natural, seeing they have animal appearance instead of that black mud that can change its shape accordingly. Ah, by the way, monsters also have a core, and its location is fixed in their heart."

"So they also have their advantage cut off. That's really unfortunate." 𝒇𝙧𝚎𝐞𝙬𝒆𝑏𝑛𝑜v𝚎𝒍.c𝑜m

"Indeed, unfortunate for the monster."

Amber stepped forward and then spun around with her hands behind her back. "Say, Kai. I found my acquaintance earlier. Can I walk around and greet her? You will be fine alone, right?"

"Your acquaintance? Sure. I am not a child who will get lost without anyone's supervision." He smirked at her teasing. Who did she think he was? A 10-year-old child who would get lost in a festival?

"But your age still looks like a child compared to me. I have lived for almost a thousand years, you see?"

'If she put it like that…' Kai smiled wryly as he had been trapped. Compared to Amber's age, he indeed looked like a child.

The Phoenix girl then giggled after seeing Kai's reaction. She looked happy that she managed to tease him again.

"Well, I was just kidding. See you later, Kai!"

"Yeah, see you later. Be careful out there."

"I will!" Amber walked away with a smile as she waved her hand. He waved back to her and watched her disappear into the crowd.

He returned to watch the fight. The cat-like monster was released from the stage and was brought by the Oni, who pulled the card to the stage through the leash that was on its neck. Then unexpectedly, the announcer pulled a piece of paper from her bosom, it was a Talisman.

"She's so daring." He smirked and murmured to himself. It was a culture shock. The people in the Supernatural World seemed to act like polygamy was normal, and it wasn't embarrassing for a woman if their cleavage was seen.

"They are freer than people in modern society with their stupid rules. Free but still respecting each other."

If they didn't respect each other, everyone would walk naked. ｆ𝘳e𝒆w𝗲𝐛𝘯𝐨νe𝚕.cｏ𝓶

The Oni tribe was the race that wore rather modest clothing, Kimono. The Devil had a different culture, and they wore open clothes, especially the women, to show off their charms. Even the nobles wore something revealing, just like Meryl. She wore a freaking leotard to attend a huge festival.

Once again, he realized that the Supernatural World was really interesting. Leaning his back against the wall, he watched the announcer activate the Talisman, creating the barrier around the arena to protect the audiences. The Talisman floated in the middle and hovered in the sky.

At that time, the announcer jumped out of the barrier and left the arena. She landed on a high platform on the side that wasn't there a few days ago and raised her hand.

"Are you ready?!"

"Yeah!" The fighter inside the barrier answered with high spirits and put on his fighting stance.

"Then, the first fight begins!"

"Go!"

With the signal from the announcer, the middle-aged red Oni who held the leash released the monster, and it immediately jumped to the fighter.
