The Monster Feria was a big event, it seemed. Almost everyone around him was talking about it excitedly, and Godou found out why quick enough. They were civilians, and the annual event was the only time when those who had never ventured into the Dungeon before could get a glimpse of the creatures that lurked within.
Now Godou was looking forward to it too. His recollection of his stint in the Dungeon could only be described as hazy. It had been a whirlwind of attacks and body parts, and he suspected that the sudden transmigration had left his mental faculties temporarily hindered. That, and he was supposed to have been decapitated by Thanatos' Scythe prior to coming here.
Maybe he was dead, and Orario was his own, personal afterlife. It wasn't a bad one, if he had to be honest.
The sight of the Coliseum caused him to be hit by a wave of nostalgia and no small amount of guilt. It was big, far larger than the one that had once existed in the city of Rome.
Even five centuries later, destroying the Roman Coliseum, one of the Seven Wonders of the World, was something he regretted deeply. Worst of all, he hadn't even been fighting a Heretic God. No, it was all Erica's fault. One afternoon with her, she had promised. That was all she needed from him, and when he'd conceded, he'd found himself loaded up into the next plane to Italy, where he had been forced to have a duel with Erica in front of the bigwigs from the Italian magical authorities. The Coliseum had been the unfortunate target of the Boar when he'd unleashed the Divine Beast, and the historical landmark had crumbled into dust within minutes.
The local, mortal authorities cited a freak earthquake as the cause. Personally, Godou blamed Erica.
As he neared the giant structure and the crenelated watchtowers on its roof loomed over him, Godou gulped. He hoped nothing happened to this one.
Finding Syr had been easier than he'd initially thought.
The gray-haired girl had been roaming around in her green waitress uniform, a dejected look on her face as she stared at all the little stalls that dotted the area around the Coliseum, knowing she couldn't buy anything there.
"My purse!" she sang in delight when Godou had walked up to her, dangling the object in front of her face.
After explaining the situation, she seemed slightly upset. "So Mama Mia just gave you an off-day like that? I had to go on my knees and beg her to let me come."
"Maybe it's because I'm new." Godou shrugged. "But here I am anyway. We've got a little bit of time before the event actually starts, is there anything you want to do?"
A mischievous twinkle reached her eye. She suddenly wrapped her arms around Godou's own, pulling him to her chest. "Yes! It's a date, then!"
Godou felt keenly disturbed. Syr was like... what, seventeen, eighteen?
He was almost thirty times her age. He knew she was joking, but he still couldn't help but to feel creeped out, and he quickly peeled her off his body. "Let's call it something else. Date sounds...weird," he said.
"Why?" The human girl dipped her lips. "Do you dislike me?"
"No!" he immediately denied. He hadn't meant to hurt her. "I like you! But not in that way! We're just two...friends. Yes, we're two friends that are...hanging out."
"Hmmm..." Syr narrowed her eyes. "Is there someone else Godou would rather go on a date with?"
"What?"
"Is it May? Could the secret ingredient to all of Godou's dishes that makes his food so tasty be his love for his fellow chef?"
"No!" From the way that her voice was laced with more mischief than jealousy, he knew she was just teasing him. Still, he needed to nip any potential rumors at the bud.
"Ryuu then! I know you made her angry yesterday! A lover's quarrel, perhaps?"
"No!" Where was Syr getting all this from?
She seemed at a loss momentarily, but she took a step back, her eyes widening in horror. "Don't tell me...you're chasing Lady Loki? Are all those afternoon chats you've been having with her the foolish, yet hopelessly romantic, attempts of a mortal to woo the heart of a goddess?"
