So what’s the case? Canaria furrowed her neat looking eyebrows as she threw the question to him.
Izayoi stared at Canaria, stumped for words at that moment.
[My……reason to host this game?]
“Wishing for a person to find me?”---How could that be? Izayoi shook his head forcefully. He wasn’t a person who had hosted the game for such a lame pathetic reason. Just thinking about that was already able to give him goosebumps.
Then what would be the purpose? Izayoi couldn’t find the answer even after some thought.
Canaria arched back forcefully and spread her arms wide. A gust of wind that was similar to the one that was tormenting the ruins with rain outside billowed her long white coat, making her petite frame look much bigger.
“It can’t be right? Izayoi-chan. The reason why you hosted the game shouldn’t be so small and weak. The message that you wrote wasn’t the complaining letter of a lost child, but it should be a letter of challenge that was written with a much stronger determination.”
“……”
“The thing that you seek is for a challenger comparable to your own power, am I right? And this game is one that’s precisely crafted to find that sort of person. Yet the participants were all regular mortals who were similar to some Tom, Dick,[10] and Harry who could be grabbed off the street……I say, Izayoi-chan. The reason why you feel unsettled and frustrated isn’t due to the fact that there wasn’t a person who appeared to solve it, but it’s because you had originally wanted to host a game that could get the blood of people to boil and be a high tension contest. But in reality, the standard of the game was so low that it couldn’t succeed.”
“……Ugu!”
*Bang!* Irated and restless, Izayoi stomped through the floor boards.
It would seem that her words had hit their mark. The enormous strength of his foot, which was unlike that of a normal ten year old, caused the entire abandoned facility to shake and a violent gust of wind and rain started to blow in from a collapsed opening in the wall.
Canaria did not show any fear at the act of intimidation as she faced her back towards the lightning and closed in on Izayoi. One step at a time.
