111 Round One: Interlude

The matches proceeded quickly even as Lars calmed down his heart and mind while sitting in the contestants' area.

Over at the side, he could see Sai Kana lying on a stretcher. He still felt kind of resentful towards the boy for daring to target his weakness of fearing dirty things, but at the same time he knew that it was nothing too serious, actually...

Which was why he had refused Kizorik's urges to just kill the boy, or Velzash's suggestions to just eat him alive...

'Yuck... What do you think I am, a demon???'

Kizorik and Velzash fixed condescending gazes on Lars and gave him a flat answer: '...You're more demonic than either of us, you monster!!!'

'.....!!!!' Lars was miffed and offended, but didn't really know how to respond. He could only cough in embarrassment and blush slightly as he assured himself that he wasn't THAT bad, right...?
