"Hey—the ghost who just scared us, listen up! I've seen you, come out quickly—!"

Back to the place where he was scared just now, Paimeng almost had the word "arrogant" written on his face.

With Ying and Yeyu following behind her, she Paimeng is fearless!

"Hey Paimon, can you please be quiet? I can't hear you anymore because of your noise."

Yidou pricked up his ears, as if he had caught some movement.

"Yidou, you're not scared, are you? Hehe..."

Ye Yu always felt that Paimeng's words were familiar.

"Scared? Would I be scared? I told you to be quiet because I heard some noises. That guy might be right next to us!"

"Eh?!" Paimeng suddenly rushed behind Ying, stuck his head out, and looked around carefully.

He was completely different from the arrogant guy just now.

It seems that Paimeng has to be timid. Ye Yu thought she was really not afraid anymore.

“Right there!!!”

As if sensing something, Yidou turned around suddenly and grabbed a strong ghost beetle from the tree trunk behind him.

"Hahaha, my perception is correct!"

Along with the ghost beetle, three sneaky figures hiding behind the trees were also tricked out.

"Hmm? You guys are...?"

Before Yidou could finish his words, the one wearing a kappa mask stepped forward, opened his arms, protected the other two figures behind him, and stood in front of Yidou.

"You, you, you, don't even think about hurting them, you're just a powerful, vicious ghost who'll roll monsters into balls and eat them!"

Yidou:? ? ?

Where did you hear these rumors? He never eats monsters, right?

"Paimon, they're not the [real guy] that scared you, are they?"

Ye Yu's disappointed expression made Paimon immediately retort.

"No, that [real guy] is much scarier than them!"

"If I'm not mistaken, you are also monsters like me, right?"

"You are a kappa, you are a one-eyed monk, you are a fox demon!"

Based on the characteristics of the three sneaky figures, Yidou quickly guessed their identities.

"Monster? Is that the kind of monster I'm thinking of? Like in Inazuma's light novels?"

"It's what you think. Ichito is also a monster, a ghost among monsters."

Ying answered Yeyu's doubts.

"That's it..."

Ye Yu walked forward and looked at these little monsters who were seriously underdeveloped compared to Yidou.

It's a coincidence that I just heard about the monsters' celebration, the [Mikawa Flower Festival] from Raiden Zhen not long ago, and now I ran into a little monster.

"You three little monsters, do you know about the [Sanchuan Flower Festival]?"

"Sanchuan Flower Festival?! How do you know about the Sanchuan Flower Festival?" The little fox demon looked very surprised.

Ye Yu didn't expect that just wanting to satisfy his curiosity, he accidentally guessed the real reason why the three little monsters followed them.

Since the era of the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons is gone forever, the living environment of these little monsters in the wild is becoming increasingly difficult.

Monsters are rampant in the wild.

These monsters will not only occupy their living space, but also plunder their food. If the monsters are in a bad mood, a beating is inevitable.

Later, many human adventurers arrived in the wild and drove away the monsters, giving them some breathing space.

Even though the little monsters lacked power, they still wanted to thank humans, so they thought of holding a celebration.

Based on the legendary Mikawa Flower Festival, this is a festival that both humans and monsters can participate in!

The [Akitsu Amusement Park] on the beach was something they had spent most of their demonic power on building. Since this was their first contact with humans, they had no idea what they liked...

So I chose the Akitsu Hagi, which was a scene at the Mikawa Flower Festival where a deep friendship was formed between the human samurai and the youkai Kamai-sama.

The Akitsu Hagori is a symbol of friendship, and the Mikawa Flower Festival allows participants to have a great time.

However, since the real "Akizu Yuxi" had long been lost, they built a version they heard from passing merchants, so they changed the name to "Akizu Yuyi".

The reason why I secretly followed Ye Yu and the others was just to hear their opinions on the celebration and the [Akizu Entertainment].

"What exactly is this [Akitsu Amusement Park] you are talking about?" Paimon asked in confusion.

"It's a game where you control a paddle-shaped ball suspended in the air and hit pre-placed elemental blocks. Paimon will tell you if he goes to the beach and takes a look."

"But now [Akizu Amusement] is under maintenance." When Ying was on the cliff, she also took a quick look at the [Akizu Amusement] venue on the beach.

"Is it under maintenance? I'd really like to experience it."

"No, didn't the little monsters say that [Akitsu Amusement Park] was built with demonic power? Why does it still need maintenance?" Paimon looked at the little monsters.

"When the Akitsu Amusement Park was first built, it certainly attracted a lot of people. But then, for some reason, someone got trapped inside and couldn't get out."

"We later checked carefully and didn't find any problems. It might be a special situation caused by the unstable demonic power at that time."

"In order to prevent similar situations from happening again, we will close [Akizu Amusement Park] every once in a while and maintain it carefully..." The little fox demon said, and suddenly became very lost.

The one-eyed monk took over her words.

"But after that incident, no one wanted to come anymore."

"Then a big brother with blue hair came over. His eyes were sharp. I think he saw us. And then, for some reason, a lot of people came to the Guardian Forest, and people started coming back to Akitsu Amusement Park. It was great!"

"Wait, you mean the big brother with blue hair?!"

Paimon slapped his head and suddenly felt that all the clues were connected.

Could it be that the strange legend of the test of courage that Kamisato Ayato mentioned was referring to the little monsters?

Hanasari also said that there would be no danger to life.

These little monsters seem quite innocent and kind.

We can draw a conclusion here.

There are no real things in the Test of Courage competition. All the scary things are probably related to the little monsters!

Paimon felt like she was a genius and could even be a detective. She had guessed the complicated truth behind the Test of Courage, which made her very proud!

Before she could feel proud for long, the light around her dimmed, dark clouds blocked the moonlight, evil winds blew, and thick fog filled the air. It seemed that an unknown monster was baring its fangs and claws in the fog, ready to devour someone.

"Hehe, little monsters, you can't scare me anymore. I've already guessed the truth of the matter!"

"But...this has nothing to do with us—"
