Chapter 107: Do Battle

"COME UP TO GET YOUR TEAM NUMBER!!!"

The demon shouts again while holding onto a box filled with fire.

<Do I?>

<I mean do we have to stick our hand into that?>

Asking Tobi, he looks at me strangely.

"We're immune to fire."

"What's there to worry about?"

*Sweats*

<Yeah...>

<Yeah I knew that...>

Looking away, I quickly speed walk over to the person.

"One question though."

He asks me.

"Why you sweating?"

That is a good question!

<Well it's cause of reasons that I don't really want to explain.>

<Sooo...>

<Please ignore it.>

Then I just happily slow down my pace.

Ah...

Did he just say sweat?

But...

No one in Hell knows about sweat...

Which means...

He's not from hell...

If so...

WHERE IS HE FROM!!!

Panicking, I try to exit from the entrance where I came from.

ZOOMP!!!

I got launched back.

"HEY!!!"

"I TOLD YOU!!!"

"YOU CAN'T LEAVE!!!"

HUH!!!

<IT'S AN EMERGENCY!!!>

<PLEASE LET ME LEAVE!!!>

I shouted desperately to the demon.

My shouts had attracted many eyes towards me.

Oblivious to this, I tried to convince the demon but alas.

"NO!!!"

"GO TO YOUR TEAMMATE AND WAIT FOR YOUR TURN!!!"

Slumping to the ground, I clasp my hands together.

Suddenly, a warm hand touches my head.

"Come on!"

"We gotta wait now!"

Tobi picks me up off the ground and carries me to the corner of the arena.

"Seems like you're scared of crowds."

"Don't worry."

"I'll protect you."
