Chapter 374: Liberty Colosseum!
Even though she hadn't tasted any snacks on the "Matsuya Group's" food street, the reactions of the tourists along the way gave Ryoko a sense of foreboding.
And all of this was caused by the human in front of her. Ryoko wished she could kidnap him immediately and make him work to pay off the debt, covering the impending losses of their "Yoshinoya."
However, currently being on the "Matsuya Group's" turf, she had to suppress this idea for now.
"Young Master!"
A demon, also in disguise and carrying several bags of snacks, hurried over, stood beside Ryoko, and looked at Minos vigilantly.
Ryoko put her hand to her forehead, then bloomed a bright smile at Ryohei, extending an invitation: "Want to come visit our 'Yoshinoya' food street?"
"Not far from here; we have quite a few specialties that aren't available here."
"What big talk are you spouting!"
Minos was displeased, putting one hand on her waist, raising her head, and squinting back: "Whatever you have there, we have here. Whatever you don't have there, we have here too."
"You're the one talking big, right?"
Ryoko also lifted her chin slightly, retorting Minos with the same posture, then waved her hand: "Forget it, I'm too lazy to argue with you."
"Anyway—!"
Her gaze turned back to Ryohei, smiling: "Welcome to come play anytime! I'm very interested in you. If you come, I'll entertain you well!"
Saying this, she extended her pink tongue tip somewhat charmingly and licked her lips.
"Thanks in advance then." Ryohei shrugged lightly.
"..."
Ryoko handed Ryohei a personal business card, then left with her subordinate.
"She said she's very interested in Ryohei-kun."
Lucoa ate BBQ on the side, looking at Ryohei with a teasing tone: "Also said she'd entertain you well."
"I have no interest in her."
Ryohei casually threw away the business card in his hand.
He knew clearly who was on his side and wouldn't do things that made his own people unhappy, plus he really had no interest...
"Don't litter!"
Minos was very happy seeing Ryohei throw away the business card, but scolded him insincerely.
"Sorry, sorry."
Ryohei said so, but didn't pick it up.
The group naturally moved on.
...
This was their second time at the "Matsuya Group's" food street, but they didn't really explore yesterday, so they explored properly today.
Just after finishing the tour, Kyon-Kyon and Ran-Ran found them.
The group gathered together to discuss where to play next.
"Speaking of Liberty Capital, the most famous place is naturally the Colosseum. There happens to be a fighting tournament going on right now; want to go see?"
Minos, the local demon, raised a finger and recommended enthusiastically.
"Liberty Capital, Colosseum... so free (Liberty)!"
Ryohei cracked a joke.
"..." Minos tilted her head, looking at him in confusion, obviously not getting the meme.
"Go watch the fighting tournament? That's good!"
(๑´ㅁ`)
Jashin-chan touched the wallet hanging around her neck, expressing her desire to go.
Lucoa, Pekola, Kyon-Kyon, and Ran-Ran were all indifferent.
So Minos decided: "Then let's go to the Colosseum!"
"Is it okay for you to leave?" Ryohei looked at Minos.
"No problem!"
Minos waved her hand casually and walked towards the parking lot:
"The biggest problem has been solved. If anything happens next, Mia will contact me."
...
An hour later—
The wheels stopped steadily. Ryohei and the others got out of the car, and a huge structure occupied everyone's field of vision.
The Liberty Colosseum, like a dark behemoth dormant on the ground. The dull obsidian walls glowed with a cold, hard luster under the Demon World's sky light, swallowing light, appearing oppressive and magnificent.
Overall, it was oval-shaped, with a total of three floors—
The outer walls were densely covered with layers of arches, looking like a honeycomb from afar, or countless hollow eyes, indifferently staring at the outside world.
"Such a big Colosseum... getting goosebumps!" Ryohei couldn't help rubbing his arms.
"This is the largest Colosseum in Liberty Capital!"
Minos' tone carried a hint of pride, as if introducing a magnificent building from her hometown. While introducing enthusiastically, she led people inside—
"The total area is about 260,000 square meters, with a circumference of 1,800 meters, capable of accommodating over 100,000 demons to watch simultaneously."
"By the way—"
"The entire Colosseum has mainly four arches. We are entering through the East Gate now, exclusively for demon nobles and wealthy merchants, leading directly to the front row VIP seats."
"The West Gate is the passage for ordinary demons and civilians. The South Gate is the beast gate, specially used to transport dangerous monsters from all over the Demon World. The North Gate is the exclusive passage for staff and gladiators..."
"..."
Amidst Minos' introduction, Ryohei stepped into the Colosseum lobby, or perhaps calling it the VIP lobby would be more appropriate.
Before he could look much, the group was led into a small independent private room by a demon waiter.
"Seven first-class tickets."
Minos took out a black card from the pocket of her pleated skirt and handed it to the staff in the private room, adding: "Seats together, as close to the front as possible, preferably next to the aisle."
"Certainly."
The staff member hurriedly stood up, bowed respectfully, took the black card with both hands, and then processed it.
Soon, he stood up again, handing back the black card and seven tickets together, respectfully saying: "Your seats are in Zone F, Row 9, Numbers 01~07."
"Good."
Minos reached out and took back the black card and seven tickets.
At this time, the staff continued: "Do you need to place bets? If needed, you can operate through the machine here."
Saying this, he gestured to the machine on the side.
"Yes, yes."
Jashin-chan wriggled her tail and leaned over cheerfully.
"Just play for fun, don't get carried away."
Ryohei knew her nature and didn't stop her, just crossed his arms and advised.
"Got it."
Jashin-chan agreed readily.
She checked the information of the contestants for the next few matches and bet nearly 300,000 in one go...
