They reached Grand Noah and started to talk with everyone.
Man: A lot of those machine monsters came here to settle down. And, as I thought, they're really popular in the Colosseum. It's sort of odd… But nobody seems to mind. Grand Noah is just that kind of place…
…
Boy There are a lot of new residents… But they're all sexy monster women. I get to… Every day… Hehehe…
Marco: Sweet mother of Christ, this is Yamatai Village all over again…
…
Town Girl: Just like I thought, you really saved the world! As the Savior birthed from our Colosseum, I'm super proud!
Marco: And hopefully I will not participate again, it was already a pain in the ass once, the second time was for a fanatic…
The town girl looked a bit disappointed, but Marco didn't give a fuck…
…
Noblewoman: I'm so happy the Colosseum fights have resumed. A lot of those "Roids" are joining in, too. They're teasing men in ways I've never seen before! It's so interesting… I can't help myself!
Marco: …
…
Soldier: Even when fighting in the Colosseum, I just keep getting raped. As a soldier, I'm pathetic. It's so frustrating… But it feels so good…
Marco: You are a disappointment to the army…
…
Harpy: Now that the world is peaceful, I can enjoy a life of fishing. I've been fishing in the river every day since then… Those mermaids are as annoying as always, but one day, I'll catch them with my hook, too!
…
Slime Girl: Purupurupurupuru… Peace is so fun! Hey, let's purupurupuru together!
Marco: What the fuck does it even mean!?
…
Knightroid: I'm a fighter in the Colosseum now, too. It would be an honor t face you on the arena floor again.
Marco: Oh don't worry, you will never see me again after this.
Knightroid: Well, it doesn't seem like you like fighting… If Arc-En-Ciel had lived to see this day, she may have found a reason to live on, as I have….
…
Weapon shopkeeper: Weapon shops all over are in trouble, but I'm fine. As long as the Colosseum is running, I'll never be short of customers!
Marco: Good for you…
…
Elf: In the middle of the final battle, that crazy Minotauros tried to hug me! There were so many enemies, though, that she gave up. I guess she's mad that I hit her with an arrow earlier…
Marco: Where?
Elf: In the knee.
Marco: …
…
Minotauros: I tried to catch that Elf to get her back for her damn arrow… But it was too chaotic, so I couldn't grab her. That damn Elf… One day I'm going to squeeze your milk, and sell it!!!
...
Florist Alraune: The flowers are all growing well! Would you like to buy one? They are very delicious!
Alice: I'll buy one.
Marco: …
Then Marco walked to the Colosseum, leaving Alice eating her flowers… And met Alma Elma.
Alma Elma: Oh, it's Marco. What a nice coincidence, to meet at the Colosseum…
Marco: Yeah… A coincidence…
She was waiting on the entrance of the Colosseum…
Alma Elma: Why don't you enter the next tournament, Marco? I'm going to participate too… I'll give you extra special attention.
Marco: ...No.
Alma Elma: Oh my, are you scared? Are you worried your white stuff will shoot straight up in front of a huge audience?
Marco: No, it's because you are not enough to entertain me. I need some movements after the small coma of 2 weeks, but you would be gone once I use my Doomblade, besides, while I was in coma, I got stronger than before, now I am confident to take down Ilias easily when she was fused with dark energy.
Alma Elma: Oof…
Marco left Alma Elma, and met again with Alice, then both of them got in the castle.
Minister: The Colosseum is an even bigger success than ever! Both participants and audience numbers are hitting new records every day! Our economy is going through a huge boom, and our military power is increasing every day! The Colosseum truly is the treasure of Grand Noah!
…
Minister: Those "Roid" monsters are living here, but nobody seems to mind. But their maintenance is quite troublesome… But their maintenance is quite troublesome… They seem to randomly break down every so often.
We may need to hire some Magic Science Engineers from Grangold. Perhaps we could start a university of our own here…
…
Castle Guard: Some of the machine monsters enlisted to guard the Queen. Thanks to that, our duties have been reduced a little. It's nice that they're strong… But it's a little distressing to be replaced like that…
…
Guard Captain: The last battle was so intense, there were lots of lives lost. But their sacrifice gave us all peace… But I can't sit around depressed forever. I'll enjoy the peace they gave me until the very end!
…
Dullahan: I asked Salamander to take me as an apprentice, but she knocked me out, and sent me away.
I tried Undine next, but she was too strong. My sword just went through her formless body…
After that, I gave Gnome a shot. But she easily buried me in sand…
Finally I decided on Sylph. But then she just blew me out of the forest with her wind…
I tried to find the Thunder Empress, but she was nowhere to be found…
Marco: Welp… That sounds rough…
…
Cerberus: The machine monsters have started fightin' in the Colosseum. It has gotten a lot harder to progress now. Of course, I ain't depressed over… Rather, I'm happy. More opponents to train against and grow stronger!
…
Guard 1: There are tons of powerful monsters all over the castle… But since they're guards, it just means we're all the more safer. There were some drunk people rioting after the Colosseum match, but the machine monsters arrested them only seconds after the report came in.
Guard 2: Thanks to them, our role is slowly going away…
…
At last, the two of them entered in the audience room.
Grand Noah Queen: Marco, the "Villain" who saved the world. Your legendary feats will become tals handed down through history. Fighting on with faith and courage, no fear of death as you enact your justice…
...
Wait a second, let's turn back on the previous chapters and count how many "Heroic" things Marco did…
He killed too many spider monsters, he killed Alma Elma in his lucid dream without mercy, he destroyed a pirate ship by going over it, he cheated every citizen of San Ilia, or Jahwe, for fortune-telling, he insulted royalty everywhere, making mincemeat of zombie corpses, raped Tamamo while he was drunk, traumatized a witch… Do I need to go on?
Back at the story!
Grand Noah Queen: I'm honored to live in the same era as your. And before I forget about it, the reward is at your left.
Marco turned around and saw a big bag of gold coins.
Grand Noah Queen: There are around 15'000 gold coins, since our economy greatly increased, we could collect that much money.
Marco: Neat!
He smiled and opened his Eternal Bag, before stuffing everything inside it.
Marco: Then… There is something else or is everything done?
Grand Noah Queen: No, that was all, the next time you come here we will greatly welcome you, bye Marco.
Marco: Bye.
Then Marco and Alice left the kingdom, and this time they started to head to the last region, precisely to Grangold.
