A Calamity Called...

"My beloved," Dia was confused by his agitation, but Arthur didn't answer her call. "What is wrong?" she asked, but still no response. Finally, Dia turned to look at the cage and saw that it had a monster inside it, similar to the ogres inhabiting the mountains of Hidden City.

"Are they in this world too?"

Arthur muttered without answering his question, and she realized that his mana was getting out of hand. Dia hurried to grab his forearm, and he finally snapped out of his confusion.

"Calm down, Seika," she said with a frown. "You can't do the same thing as the duel from yesterday."

It seems her words had some effect on him, and the Seika calmed down somewhat. However, he was still looking puzzled by the monster's appearance, as he kept turning back to it.

"Do you know this hobgoblin?" she asked with confusion. This monster was one of the few races disliked by humans and demis alike because it was an evolution of a goblin.
