"It's so tough! I don't see how someone like Bell is going to be able to fight ten of these at once!" she said, completely ignoring everything he said.
Despite having only interacted with the boy once, Godou agreed with her. The Dungeon seemed to be a lot more dangerous than he'd initially thought, and Godou wondered just how many people died in there everyday.
The next few rounds continued, the monsters seemingly becoming harder and the strategies of the adventurers becoming more complex and riskier.
And finally, after ending with the Captain of the Ganesha Familia taming a Bugbear, Ganesha came down to the arena.
"I am Ganesha!" he announced. "To conclude this year's Monster Feria, I have something very special planned!"
The excitement of the crowd was audible, and the anticipation for Ganesha's next words grew so thick Godou was certain he could have cut it with a knife. The Ganesha Familia had put up an excellent display already, and even Godou found himself wondering just what amazing finale the god had in mind.
"This year, we're going to try to let an audience member try to tame a monster!"
Numerous gasps could be heard as Ganesha put his hands to his hips triumphantly. Even Godou found himself frowning. From what he'd seen, some of the monsters here had actually been quite strong and dangerous, and the tamers had no doubt spent at least months training and practicing before they could accomplish their individual feats. The ordinary civilian wouldn't stand a chance.
At sensing the trepidation of the audience, Ganesha flashed a winning smile. "Do not worry, my wonderful children! The monster I have chosen is not very strong! Additionally, I have given my dear Captain, Shakti, the responsibility of keeping you safe. She will step in before the monster even has the chance of killing you!"
That...didn't put Godou at ease very much. Wasn't there also the possibility that Shakti would step in and end the whole event within seconds if the challenger was an idiot? It didn't seem like this was planned out very well, and he could make out the disapproving frown on Shakti's own face. It looked as though as if she had only learnt of this development recently as well.
"Any volunteers?"
"Me! I want to try fighting a monster!" Syr screamed, thrusting her hand into the air. She wasn't the only one. Dozens of other people in the crowd were shouting, demanding to be picked. Unfortunately, in her excitement, the girl had knocked over her drink, and a cup's worth of soda spilled onto Godou's pants.
He sighed when he realized the girl hadn't even noticed. She was certainly quite adventurous, he'd give her that, though he doubted she would be able to do it. Pulling out a napkin he'd swiped from the Hostess, Godou bent over to wipe himself dry. Hopefully, Ganesha wouldn't pick Syr. He'd hate for her to get hurt, and while he had faith in the abilities of the Ganesha Familia's Captain, accidents weren't always preventable.
If she really wanted to see a monster, Godou would rather he bring her into the Dungeon, where he knew at least he could protect her. In the stands, so far away from the action, he might not be able to react and reach in time.
Finally done cleaning up, Godou straightened, and was going to chide Syr for ruining the clothes when he realized that she was already staring at him wide-eyed and mouth agape. So she'd realized, good. Then he realized she wasn't the only one. Everybody around him had craned their necks to get a good view of him, and Godou realized the entire stadium seemed to have fallen eerily silent. Had he done something odd?
"You."
He immediately looked up, where Ganesha was pointing a lone finger at him from the arena.
"I choose you."
Godou blinked.
This was bullshit.
Shakta had felt quite happy when the boy Ganesha had chosen refused at first.
Unlike her god, at least he had some common sense.
She shouldn't have been here. She should've been outside, trying to hunt down the monsters that had somehow managed to escape. Ganesha had been right to continue to the Festival. The more people in the Coliseum, the fewer people there would on the streets to become potential prey. In the Coliseum and the area around it, they were under the pro
tection of the Ganesha Familia, and thus safe.
