Then the Leader of the Monsters said:
— Well, it's all over now.
God replied:
— Wouldn't it be better if we moved on to the next round already?
The Leader of the Monsters answered:
— Then let's prepare for the next round.
After the arena had been prepared, Death Monster appeared and said:
— Well, is the arena ready?
The Leader of the Monsters replied:
— Ah, Death Monster. It's been a long time.
Death Monster said:
— Yeah. Have you already decided who's going in the next round?
The Leader of the Monsters answered:
— Actually, no.
Death Monster replied:
— Well, since you don't know yet, I'll go in the next round.
The Leader of the Monsters was surprised.
— W-what? But you're second-to-last on the list.
Death Monster replied:
— Yes, but since my younger and most beloved brother died, I'll take his place and defeat those foolish detectives.
God then said:
— Leader, let him go. You still have many powerful monsters left for the final round.
The Leader of the Monsters nodded.
— Okay then, you can go. But make sure you win.
Death Monster smiled.
— Don't worry. I'll crush those detectives.
Suddenly, Evil Monster appeared.
Evil Monster said:
— Hello, Leader. How are you? Is my son making you nervous? Hahaha!
The Leader of the Monsters replied:
— Not at all. He's just telling me that he wants to compete.
Evil Monster laughed.
— Well, the truth is, I'm going too. And I'll be on the detectives' side.
Death Monster stared at him in shock.
— W-what? You traitor!
The Leader of the Monsters then said:
— As for the detectives' side, I was thinking of sending Detective Beni.
God replied:
— Ah, I have an idea. This competition could have teams of three.
— On the monsters' side: Death Monster, Sound Monster, and Storm Monster.
— On the detectives' side: Detective Beni, Detective Soya, and Evil Monster.
The Leader of the Monsters nodded.
— Sounds good. But who is Detective Soya? I don't think I know her.
God explained:
— Detective Soya was a detective in her era. Instead of focusing on capturing criminals, she spent her time forming relationships with them and deceiving her boss. Eventually, the world discovered what she had been doing, and she was executed in the year 1678 in France.
The Leader of the Monsters replied:
— I see. Interesting story. Well then, let's begin.
— Enter, Detective Beni!
