I take my ticket with all my money on the line and return to my seat.
　It looks like the race will start soon, and the large demons are gathered in front of the starting fence.
　And among them, another behemoth was staring at us.

　I wasn't sure if it could be understood because of the distance between us, but I used my sensory magic to send my will to the behemoth.
　What happens will depend on your hard work..........
　After a bit, Behemoth gave a small nod and removed his gaze from us, and after confirming that, he sat down.

'Alice, do you have a winning formula for behemoths?'
''Hmmm. This main race........well, as you can see, there are a lot of belligerent demons, so it often turns into a brawl.
Okay.
"...just...
Yeah?

　It still looked pretty tough for the behemoth to win, but apparently it's possible if other strong opponents collide.
　In fact, this main race was not an impossible story, since the situation is set up for a big turnout to happen, he said.
　However, Alice tilts her head to see if there's something that's bothering her after talking that much.

''Um, behemoth it's a bit different from what I know.
Not in what way?
'No, I haven't seen much of the behemoths themselves either... but I think the horns of the behemoths were 'red'.
'Red horns?　No, but those behemoth horns are black, though?
'Right - so maybe...'
Now it's time for the main race to begin!

　Just as Alice was about to say something, the actual voice of the actual race sounded, and at one point she stopped talking and shifted her gaze to the course.
　The moment the fence in front of the demons disappeared and the race started.......it happened.

　The behemoth that had been walking on four legs suddenly raised its paws and roared.
　Jet-black lightning shot out from the black horns and pierced the red dragon that was flying in the sky.

''What, how!　The Red Dragon was sunk in a single blow!　This is the power of a legendary monster beast?''
I knew it, that behemoth it's a special case!
Special specimens?

　The same is true of Acht, the blue ogre, as I recall, which is a different individual from the norm.

'Kite!　This is a huge possibility!　I only know about it from the literature, but it is said that the behemoths of the special individual are clothed in jet-black lightning and have several times the power of the normal individual.
'Several times ... that's ...'
"Oops!　Behemoth fast!　I'm catching up with Fenrir, who's leading the pack!

　The behemoth, which shot down the red dragon, ran down the course at a terrific speed and approached the giant wolf in front of him....................Fenrir, as if to affirm Alice's words of excitement.
　Fenrir also sensed Behemoth's approach and stopped in his tracks and raised a howling voice.

''Fenrir, I'm going to intercept the behemoth!

　A huge icicle appeared around Fenrir, and it headed towards Behemoth with the speed of a bullet.
　It seems that if you are a Fenrir-class demon, you can also use magic, and Behemoth evades it with quick steps, but it was occasionally grazed.

　Behemoth, who reached Fenrir while creating wounds in multiple places, waved his horns at Fenrir.......but just as he looks like a wolf, Fenrir evaded them quite quickly and lightly.

'As expected, Fenrir's footwork is light. But if that behemoth is a special individual........even a baby should be able to use that thing.
Huh?
'Yes, watch closely.

　When I followed Alice's words and looked at the behemoth, the behemoth stood up on its hind legs again and let out an earth-shaking roar.
　In response to that cry, the lightning that gushes out of the horns converges on his mouth.

''It's been said. The Breath of the Heavenly Needs Hegg is the karma fire that burns the earth, and the Breath of the Earthly Behemoth is the flash that pierces the heavens and.......
Huh?

　
　It seems that the breath that was released with the speed of lightning literally could not be dodged no matter how fast Fenrir was, and Fenrir fell to the ground as it was.

'Fenrir sunk!　That's the one...　The other demons are terrified of the current battle!　This was no way, no way ... and now the behemoths finish in first place!　The first dress is a behemoth!　It's a behemoth!'
'Yay!　Mr. Kite!　We've won!
Oh, that was really awesome!
'Yay!　I'm making a lot of money-- ouch!
You're going to have to be a little more civilized...


















　Is the venue now at the start of race seven?　Me and Alice didn't join in after the fifth race, and now we had come to the large building behind the monster racetrack.

''Mr. Miyama Kite, thank you for your purchase today. My name is Chapel, the manager. Please take a look at me from now on....
Oh, yes. I'm Kaito Miyama. It's nice to meet you.

　
　
　It's a good idea, but being bowed to by someone obviously older than you is something you can't get used to.

''Rumors of Miyama-sama have reached me as well, sir.
"Rumor?
Yes, I heard that you are a close friend of the Sixth King and were the grand prize winner at the recent Hojyu Festival.
Yeah, yeah, well...
It's just as I'd expect from a first-rate person who has an eye for good things. Please continue to patronize me.
Oh, yes.

　It seems that the story of winning the harvest festival has already spread to other countries, and what an awful shame it is.
　No, maybe it's just that Chappell's information network is wide...or maybe I hope it's that way.

　By the way, the behemoth's multiplier is a considerable 205 times, and I still have more than 100 white gold coins left in my hand after paying for the behemoth.
　I feel like I'm sorry that I won outrageously, but Chappell-san is still smiling and smiling.
　Come to think of it, I've heard that horse races and the like are structured to make the body profitable no matter what, and I wonder if monster races are like that too?

I'm sorry. I'll have another candy--squeeze!
You're going to have to cut back...
No, no, go ahead, be my guest... oops, I'm sorry. It looks like we're ready to hand over, so please come this way.
Yes, sir.

　I eat up all the tea cake that was served to me and hit the idiot who is even asking for a refill, and then I move along with Mr. Chapel, saying that I'm ready to hand over the behemoth at just the right time.
　And in the middle of that move, Alice, walking next to me, speaks to me in a small voice that only I can hear.

He's pretty good at it.
What does that mean?
That behemoth is a special case.
Really?

'Sure....'

　
　
　In fact, Alice's prediction doesn't seem to be wrong, and Chappell-san glances at me and speaks to me with a smile.

'Miyama-sama, please come again. It's a good idea to have the best of both worlds.
Oh, yes. I understand. Black I'll tell the Dark Lord and the others that Chappell-san has been good to you.
Oh, that's very kind of you to say... it's an honor.

　It seems that Chappell-san knows from the beginning that she's aware of the fact that she's calculating, and since she came to me with her wishes in a roundabout way, I also returned the formality of her request with my thanks.
　

　In the meantime, I arrived in front of a very large cage, and as I moved my gaze, I saw the behemoth I had just seen inside.
　When the behemoth noticed me, it slowly got up and approached me in the cage and stared at me again.

''It's very violent, so first you need to register the Lord - you mean, Miyama-sama!
What?

　When I casually approached the cage, the behemoth looked at me and lightly lowered its head to me.
　I didn't feel any hostility, but rather gratitude and goodwill, so I reached out my hand and patted its head, and the behemoth shook its face in a comfortable way and Chapel-san sounded surprised.

''........how.......that behemoth is so quiet like this.......oh my goodness, I should say Miyama-sama....

　I'm sure the behemoths have already acknowledged me as their master, and they didn't resist the registration of their master with the collar-type magic tool that followed, but they were quiet.
　And when the Lord's registration is safely completed, the cage is opened and Behemoth slowly rubs his face against my body.

''Gah........''

　It was a baby, and it was very funny because it was a baby, and it acted like it was spoiled... but the two sharp horns were very frightening. They don't sting, do they?

　Dear Mom, Dad - I honestly don't know how this happened to me, but in a strange turn of events, I decided to buy a behemoth. Well, I'm a little nervous about the future - we're going to have a pet.
