The Absolute Speed of a Certain Comic 104

Title: Invitations Arriving

After waking up, Demeter told him the location of her Familia, stating that he was always welcome for lovemaking, and then left reluctantly.

Hoshiharu put on his robe, left the hotel, and bought some fried potato balls for breakfast from a street vendor, barely filling his stomach.

This was located next to the main road of South Street.

South Street is a famous busy street in Orario. Buildings such as casinos, theaters, and pubs line the sides of the road.

Early in the morning, the human servers at the taverns had already begun cleaning, and the Demi-Humans who woke up early hurried to the dungeon. Elven bards played stringed instruments, singing clear melodies, and occasionally bowing gracefully to onlookers.

“Hey, did you hear about the arena yesterday...”

“Oh, I already heard.”

While walking along the street, Hoshiharu could hear conversations starting with such lines from time to time.

One night had passed, and news about the arena seemed to have spread throughout Orario.

Hoshiharu had become a well-known celebrity in Orario overnight, and he was so popular that his fame might not fade anytime soon.

The big news had been released, so let’s see which strong Familia members come to invite him.

If the intelligence work done by those Familia was good enough, the results should be visible by now.

After all, Orario is not a small or large city but a semi-closed city. Additionally, most adventurers could move around, so information flowed very quickly.

Arena.

Hoshiharu paid the entrance fee at the door and then entered the venue.

To the naked eye, the place was twice as crowded as yesterday. Not only had the number of civilians increased, but the number of adventurers had also doubled at a glance.

Among them, Hoshiharu also saw Hestia.

That blue ribbon held a pair of very large breasts, supporting her small body, which was only about 1.4 meters tall. It looked quite visually impactful.

Hestia was gathering with some other god friends, arguing loudly as if no one was watching.

Listening to their conversation, it seemed they were here to watch the fun. They were even betting among themselves on which god would fall to Hoshiharu. Hestia was very unhappy because her winning rate was actually zero.

After all, everyone knew that the human’s goal yesterday was to find a strong Familia to join, as he had said so publicly. A main god like Hestia, who had no Familia, had no competitiveness at all.

If she could sacrifice her appearance, she might still have a chance, but she was still a virgin, and the gods thought she would never have a chance.

Hoshiharu glanced in the direction where the gods were gathered, hesitated for a moment, and finally sighed and walked towards the registration office with difficulty.

Several eyes were on him, perhaps guessing what level adventurer he was.

They were not surprised at all to see Hoshiharu wearing a robe. In Orario, there are people who wear robes just to see others. Some are involved in intelligence work, some follow others with malicious intent, and some simply don’t want to be seen by others.

“Are you personally responsible today as well?”

Hoshiharu came to the registration office and saw Shakti’s figure.

“It’s you.”

Shakti glanced at him and realized it was Hoshiharu, then complained, “It’s your fault. If it weren’t for your actions yesterday, I would be training in the dungeon today.”

As the leader of the Ganesha Familia, she was usually very busy and rarely sat directly in the arena.

It’s just that she predicted the number of spectators today would be high, and the number of spectators and the likelihood of accidents would be several times higher than before, so she personally brought experts from the Familia to help.

“Ganesha Familia has 11 level 5 members, so we still have enough manpower.”

Shakti seemed to say this casually, but in fact, she deliberately boasted to attract Hoshiharu’s attention.

Immediately after, she herself seemed to feel that she had spoken too intentionally, like a teenage girl who knew nothing about the world, so she coughed a little awkwardly and then changed the subject.

“You still plan to fight in the ring today, right?”

“Yes.”

“I won’t stop you, but you must remember to admit defeat when you face an opponent you cannot defeat.”

Shakti warned him, then asked the guild staff to hand over the registration form and contract paper.

In general, the arena can only be challenged by high-class adventurers; only Level 2 adventurers come to compete, and rarely any high-class adventurers.

Because more skilled adventurers also know that coming to the arena is just frying fish. Staying in the arena all day is not as profitable as earning money in the dungeon. Moreover, once they occupy the arena for too long, they will soon lose money. The fate of the strong Ganesha Familia clearly does not allow high-class adventurers to dominate.

Therefore, rather than going to the arena, it is better to enter the dungeon and make money while upgrading at the same time.

However, that might not apply now.

Shakti looked at the crowd present and laughed with a tone of schadenfreude.

Honestly, she didn’t know how many Level 2 adventurers were joining the arena today. Or could there be First-Class Adventurers among them?

Advanced adventurers are also divided into several levels.

Level 2 adventurers can only be considered Third-Class Adventurers. Those who reach Level 3 or 4 can be considered Second-Class Adventurers.

Today’s arena will be very popular.

“Keep it safe for me.”

Hoshiharu took off his robe and placed it next to Shakti along with his backpack, leaving her speechless for a moment.

‘You haven’t even joined my Familia, and you’re already ordering me, the leader, to do something?’

“If you don’t join my Familia, I will never be done with you.”

Shakti murmured quietly and placed Hoshiharu’s belongings in the registration locker.

However, Hoshiharu had already entered the preparation room and couldn’t hear her words.

“Hey, could that person just now be...?”

“Right. Even his back is very handsome. I just saw him yesterday!”

“Isn’t he going to compete in the ring today?”

As the news spread from person to person, the audience in the auditorium quickly became excited.

Even though his legend was also thrilling, undeniably, the scenes witnessed with one’s own eyes are what makes people even more excited.

Half an hour later.

“Everyone has been waiting for a long time! I know what you all want to see. Honestly, I also really want to see it! Yes, the next game has now become the hottest topic in Orario, with an ordinary person who has not received blessings, Hoshiharu! The contestant who defeated a Level 2 adventurer appears! His opponent is still a Level 2 adventurer. Let’s wait and see if he can recreate yesterday’s legend and welcome his performance!”

“OHHHH!”

“Come on, I bet everything on you winning!”

“Sisters, we can’t leave empty-handed today!”

“OHHHHH!”

Amid the warm cheers of the audience, Hoshiharu walked onto the stage with steady steps.
