The man who greets us is wearing a long black tuxedo coat adorned with glittery designs. His brown hair is neatly combed backwards. He is noticeably somewhat old.

I guess he looks like in his mid-thirties but that’s probably not his real age. Among the moustache that I saw while walking outside earlier, his moustache is the most extravagant…

For now, let’s respond with formality since he is the governor of this city.

“Good day. My name is Asagao, it’s a pleasure meeting you Lord Gria.”

“I am Alstroemeria”

“My name is Higanbana.”

“What adorable chicas, Mrothgir!”

“Don’t say that…that one there is a real monster you know.”

“Oh my, then I should tread lightly then.”

Suddenly, a maid enters the room.

“My lord, it’s ready.”

“OOHhh!! Bring it!”

For some reasons, master is really excited and can’t contain himself. Gria is also the same. I don’t know if it’s because of master visits today or the thing that the maids will bring here.

A strong smell wafts in the air. I somehow knew what it is.

“Haauuu…”

“Higan?!”

“ACHII! ACHII!”

“Eh?!”

“The strong smell irritates my nose.”

The maids come with it in the tray.

Tacos.

“Mrothgir! Let’s start the fiesta!"

“Oh, I’m going to jam real hard! Give me those maracas!”

“Here missy! Eat some tacos!”

The two got swept up eating the tacos. They offered me and Higan, but I refuse. I don’t like the smell of it. Higan too, even now, she is covering her nose.

The one who joins the fray is Alstroe. She is guzzling the taco like there’s no tomorrow.

“Asagao! Higan! This tastes great! It’s made of beef too! Come on, eat!”

“Your…breathe reeks Alstroe…”

“ACHII!”

“Alstroe…we don’t like the smell of it…”

“Well…it means more for me!~”

“…”

RUMBLE

RUMBLE

Alstoe hears our stomachs.

Yes, it’s our stomachs.

That was definitely embarrassing! We directed our heads downward because of it. I don’t know what face we are making right now!

Alstroe just smiles at us and calls out to Gria.

"Hey, hey. This food, those two can’t handle it.”

“Oh my, this is always the problem with children. Well, not that I don’t understand! Lirin! Please serve kiddy meals for the two cute buttons over there!”

The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation.

“As you wish, my lord!”

Right here?! Isn’t this the guest room?! And what’s up with the kiddy meal?! Don’t call us buttons too!

After a while, the maid comes back with the thing called a kiddy meal.

She carried the tray to the table in front of us and removes the cover…what’s in the platter?

“For the two cute buttons are two set of kiddy meals compose of Poco Quesadilla and Burrito served with Horchata. Please enjoy yourselves.”

“A-Asagao! These…”

“Higan…they look…normal? Anyway…let’s dig in…”

The…quesadilla is…oozing with so much cheese… and the burrito…well… the ground beef was tasty…Horchata drink taste generally like milk…

Somehow, that was a filling meal and I don’t have any qualms about it.

As we finished eating, Gria the vampire approaches us with master.

“These two fine young ladies, their blood must be really exquisite!”

“Let him off you two, this guy here is always interested in sucking the blood of young girls.”

“Ohohoho! Indeed, they are the tastiest after all! Well, putting this pale girl with white hair aside. I don’t think taking blood from you would be wise as you look sickly.”

“”…””

“So, how about you, Cute Little Fox?”

“*HISSSSSSSSSSS!!*”

“Okay! Okay! I’m sorry!”

“Umm…we understand that you are vampire and sucking blood is only natural but…your timing was off…”

Why though?

Gria then called out to Alstroe-nee who is stacking her mouth with tacos. Alstroe should cut down on eating those…

“Well, it’s a formality. Anyway, the lady with pechos grandes! May I suck a little blood from you? I promise you it won’t have any side effect and it only stings like an ant bite.”

“Me?”

You’re asking Alstroe this time… this vampire guy really bold. Well at the very least, he asks for consent before sucking blood.

I feel like this won’t end very well…

Alstroe presents her neck with a questioning face.

“It’s fine though.”

“Oh goody! Someone agreed! Well then, I’m digging in!”

“Un! Good luck!”

CLACK

Ah…I knew it. It’s bleeding...

“OOOOHHHHHH! Puñetaaaaaaaa! Mi colmillo rompio!(My fang broke!)”

“Eh” Are you okay?”

“This chica’s skin is fuerte(strong).”

“Eh? I don’t understand but sorry.”

“No, no.  I am the one who tried to suck blood to complete strangers. I am sorry. Also, these fangs will grow in no time so please do not worry about it.”

That’s really awkward conversation, to be honest. Their idiocy matches.

“Anyway, aren’t you chicas bored? Lirin, please bring out the Piñata! These two little girls will really like it!”

“Why are you deciding that on your own?”

The maid Lirin immediately brought the horse shape piñata and hangs it. I somehow know the rules but let the guy explain it.

“Okay, this is a piñata! The rules of the game are you need to hit it while blindfolded. If you miss, then it’s the turn for someone else. If you hit it, there are goodies when for you inside! Let’s start! Chicas with pechos grandes, do you want to start?”

“I don’t know what pechi grenade means but I’ll start! Bring it!”

“Oh! I like enthusiastic people! Please put this blindfold on your eyes and then spin ten times!”

Alstroe did as he says. I wonder why things escalate quickly to this. I don’t think letting Alstroe-nee play this game is a good idea too. Master is just looking while trying to hold back his laughter.

That’s really mean, master. I’m guessing he suggested this to Gria earlier to make fun of him with the end result.

Alstroe then positioned steadies herself after spinning ten times. I immediately grab Higan’s hand and flee.

I look at master.

“Go on. Sightsee for a while. People here are the nicest bunch you could ever see. Just come back later okay?”

“Thank you master”

“Thanks.”

The maid Lirin guides us outside the gate. Now, that I notice it, she is also a vampire, with a lot of patience for that kind of master…

Well, he is not a bad guy…

BOOM!

An explosion occurred destroying the mansion in half and, from the distance, you could hear the pitiful cry of the governor.

“DIOS MIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! MI CASAAAAAAAAA! “

Not our problem now.

.

.

.

We arrive at the stall district. Higan and I hold hand so we don’t get separated. There’s a stall the sells a barbecue meat. The meal earlier was delicious but we kind of craving for more.

“Higan, let’s eat those.”

“Un.”

We approach the stall and the guy in hood greets us.

“Hola chicas lindas. Le gustaria comprar dos barbacoa?"

“Umm…We’re sorry…we can’t speak your native language.”

“We just came here today mister.”

“Oh, my apologies, I should have known better that cute ladies such as you two are impossible to be like us undead. We are ugly from the outside perspective of people.”

“Oh, not at all, you guys just have unique…appearance… By the way…I’m a human.”

“I’m a beast kin from Fox clan.”

“Thank you, dear girls. I am a necromancer. Let me repeat myself. Hello, cute ladies. Would you two like to buy barbecues? Is what I wanted to say… but these barbecues are magical beast meats."

“”???””

“Oh, magical beast meats are poison to living but delicacies to us undead.”

“Too bad…”

“But if you want to buy normal foods, there are stalls close to the arena where the corrida de toros is being held!”

“”Thank you, mister!””

“OHH! A radiant smile from the two chicas lindas! I feel like I am being purificada!”

“Ehehe! Thanks for the compliment.”

“No problemo! I feel like I reached my quota for today! Anyway, head north from here and you will immediately see the arena for the matadores.”

.

.

.

We left the necromancer’s stall and headed for the stalls in the arena. If the common meats here are magical beast meat, then it make sense that they will sell normal meats close to one of their attractions.

There are people here and there. Mostly are undead but there are other races such as demons, beast kins, dwarves and also humans. I bet some of them are merchants.

We could even hear cheering coming from the arena.

Then…a flying armor crashes besides us from the arena. He is wearing a red cape and a funny looking hat.

BAM!

“OH! Puñeta! Balrog got me again!!

“Um…are you okay?”

“Ladies, you two are tourists? I am utterly sorry if I startled you girls.”

“No…I mean…are you okay? You flew quite…a distance…”

“Nnn? I am! I am an undead knight so my pride was the only thing that got hurt.”

“What happened?”

“I was sent flying by el toro Balrog. You see, it’s an open competition for everyone to take him down.”

“It means we can enter too?”

“Yes, but I don’t recommend it. Balrog is really powerful.”

“”We’re strong!””

“Is that so? Well, then I’ll take my leave now. Please don’t hurt your pretty faces ladies!”

The undead knight left. Forget buying snacks!

Is what Higan said… It seems like she wants to challenge this balrog...

We immediately run to the arena entrance. There’s a ghoul in the booth with a sunglass and a mustache...

Wow…

“Hello. What do little girls like you want to do here?”

“Me! Me! I want to enter the battle!”

“Oh, you little fox girl wants to enter? No problem! You will be immediately taken to the arena so please take this.”

“These are?”

“Freebies!”

The ghoul speaks normally unlike the other undead here. He gave Higan a red cape, a fake mustache, and a weird looking hat…

Fake moustache?!

A man guides Higan to the arena while I go to the spectator seats. The whole arena is full of people… it’s really a popular event.  I wonder how Higan will do. 

After a while, Higan enters the arena wearing the hat and holding the red cape with her hands.

On the other side of the arena…a cage-like gate opens… and that came out…

…...

Dios mio…

A bipedal bull with large horns and rippling muscle comes out. Its body is covered with flames. It’s standing for about three meters. Its eyes gazes are mad and it’s like itching to ram somebody on its sight. Its hoof is gigantic and it breathes fire from its nose. Its teeth are sharps...

THAT’S BALROG!?!?!?!
