The Divine Power of Comprehensive Comics

At this moment, a person whom Eina knew appeared in the field of vision.

"Huh? It's the new guy. Well, it seems he survived the dungeon."

Seeing the familiar face, Eina breathed a sigh of relief.

It would be a pity if such a young boy died suddenly in the underground city.

Suddenly, Aina noticed the girl with light gray hair who was following Xia Qing.

"Huh? That's..."

It seemed like she had seen him before, so Eina narrowed her eyes slightly to identify it carefully.

"Really, what are those people doing?"

"We'll complain later and send someone over quickly."

Listening to the voices of the colleagues behind her communicating, Aina retracted her gaze and turned her head to look.

"Excuse me, what happened?"

"Ah, I heard that a few of the staff waiting at the west gate seemed to have fainted."

"Eh……?"

"Ah, no, they are still conscious. It's just that those guys were sitting on the ground as if their legs were weak and couldn't get up. Alas, they probably went too crazy drinking and playing yesterday.

They seem to be unable to continue working, so we have to send someone to replace them. "

The male orc employee scratched his hair helplessly.

After hearing what he said, Aina felt inexplicably uneasy, and an annoying tension ran up her back.

"Is it just that I'm too neurotic...?"

Listening to the mixed cheers and screams of the audience, she looked up at the huge arena standing in front of her.

It was like a monster howling from deep underground, clinging to Eina's eardrum.

——————————————————————————

This is a dark and humid place with insufficient light source.

There was only one magic stone lamp hanging from the ceiling, and the others were extinguished, forming shadows in every corner of the room.

One-meter-square wooden boxes are scattered everywhere, giving the surrounding a cluttered impression.

Weapons and other various props stood against the wall.

There are several cages in the dark space that looks like a warehouse at first glance.

Many monsters were chained inside, and the sound of metal friction was heard frequently.

The dog-shaped monster stuck the tip of its nose between the narrow gaps in the iron bars, and roared with its teeth bared.

A large room located in the basement. The backstage of the arena is, in other words, the monster's waiting room.

According to the procedure, the monster will be brought to the center of the arena together with the cage by the person in charge.

The monster is released from its restraints as it is brought to the ground, allowing it to face off against its trainer in the center field.

Earth-shattering cheers from the audience echoed from afar.

"What are you doing? The next show is about to start! Why don't you bring the monsters here!"

With sharp footsteps, the door to the large room was opened. The female member of the [Ganesha Familia] rushed into the room with a fierce look on her face.

She is the team leader in charge of the backstage work of the festival.

Seeing that the time to appear was approaching, but the monster had not yet been transported, she jumped anxiously and hurried over to see the situation.

However, no one answered her angry voice.

"Wha...hey, hey, what's wrong!"

The scene in the room was of all the companions sitting on the ground unable to get up.

The four movers responsible for this area were all sitting motionless on the floor.

She felt panicked and ran to the nearest person, finding she was still breathing.

There was no trauma either. She looked up and saw that everyone else was doing the same thing.

None suffered life-threatening injuries.

They were just like puppets with their strings cut off, all their strength had been lost.

"Ah...ah..."

"Monster's poison, no, no, what on earth is this...!"

The faint sound he made, his cheeks rosy, his pupils out of focus.

Never seen such symptoms.

Kneeling and looking closely at her companion's face, she felt a slight chill.

She had no clue as to the abnormal state they had fallen into.

What is going on here?

She stood up on the spot and looked around the dark room where the monster roared.

Suddenly, the air behind him shook.

Either a sharp attack-like movement, nothing serious, or a leisurely movement like approaching a friend.

Since there was no malice, it left her fatally unable to react.

Someone was standing directly behind her.

"do not move."

"--ah."

Gently, eyes were covered from behind.

Her slender hands, whose skin was so smooth and tender to the touch, covered her eyes.
