Chapter 280: Chapter 272 - Carnival in the Town.
"Dracula's followers? Chris-chan, are you knowing something that we don't know? Is it possible to let us know in more detail?" Blair asked.
"Well. Sure, this could be quite complicated." said Chris.
And so, with no intentions of hiding the truth from them, Chris told them everything including the real reason they joined this tournament.
"I see. So, the Dracula follower is the real reason you and your team joined this tournament?" Blair asked.
"Nah... It's still the baby dragon." said Sky.
"Mhmm... Just as Sky said." said Chris.
Haha...
And so, the conversation continues with Chris purposely opened the door and left the sound unblocked, so that someone could eavesdrop on them...
"Anyway, it's still quite early right now, do you all have any plans later?" Blair asked.
"Not really, we are probably going to spend the rest of the day doing nothing in the dorm." said Sky.
"I heard that the organizer had prepared a carnival today for the celebration of the official opening for the tournament, it's not far from this place, are you interested to check it out?" Blair asked.
"Carnival? Anything special about it?" Sky asked, not really interested though.
"Well, they had prepared some small games for contestants to win some privileges for the second elimination to final. I think it wouldn't be bad to give it a try since we are quite free at this moment." said Blair.
"Well... We aren't very interested in it and I believe Chris needs some rest for today." said Sky and Chris nodded in agreement.
"I see, but still, I believe it will be quite interesting. Except for the game stand, they have some really nice snack stands as well, you know, this town is well known for their fruit sorbet. Don't you want to reconsider it?" Blair asked again which successfully drawn Chris's attention.
"On a second thought, I think it's not a bad idea to get some privileges for the next round." said Chris, pretending his main focus is not the sorbet.
"Ah... That guy certainly knows Chris's weaknesses..." Sky murmured.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At the main town a mile away from the dorm, a rather luxurious and lively carnival is ongoing. A huge variety of stalls had been put up by merchants in the town, including food and drink stall, snack stands and special stall that sells limited-edition merchandise for the tournament.
"Ah... That parrot looks less stupid in this plushie form." said Chris as he picking up a parrot plushie from one of the merchandise stalls.
"Ahaha... Just to remind you the dorm's bed is quite small, don't buy too many of it." said Sky, a bit helpless.
"Well, I wasn't planning to buy it but since you said so..." said Chris with a weird smirk, then he called the shopkeeper and paid for that parrot plushy along with another cat plushy he chose earlier.
"This cat said to be the mascot for the next round onwards, but I can't really imagine how that robotic voice going to come out from this cute kitty." said Chris, rather... Uhm... Happy.
"But seriously, where is the fruit sorbet stall? We have been looking for it for a while now." said Chris.
"Are you talking about Madam Helen stall? It is on the right side of the card games station. But be careful, she doesn't like outsiders, especially for the contestants of this tournament." said the shopkeeper.
"I see, thanks for the information, but I guess we still want to try our luck a bit." said Chris.
"Ah... Before you go, can you please leave your autograph for me? I saw you in this morning's survival match, you are just so cool, especially when with those hideous injuries of yours, you are still able to make all those fantastic moves! Those dragons are just amazing! Oh! And I absolutely don't believe about those damn rumors about you guys been cheating in the qualification tests." said the shopkeeper.
"Ah... Sure." said Chris who is a bit awkward as the shopkeeper passed him a signing board.
A while later.
"Hey! Are you sure it's alright to just give him your signature just like that? You know, your signature is very important and could be quite useful for parties with weird intentions." said Sky as they had walked away from the stall.
"Seriously, don't you know that most of the celebrities had different patterns of autograph for fans and official signature for formal uses?" said Chris.
"Ah... Are you a celebrity now?" Sky asked.
"Well, there's nothing wrong with that though... Hmm? Hey! I think we found the fruit sorbet stall." said Chris as he pointed at a rather huge colorful stall with different fruit sculptures around it.
"Let's go have a look I guess." said Sky.
And so, they headed to that stall. However, they didn't see anyone that looks like Madam Helen, instead, there is a really sweet looking young lady shopkeeper, and instead of any possible rude treatment as mentioned by the other shopkeeper, they are greeted by a rather surprisingly unexpected occurrence.
"Oh my god! I can't believe my eyes! It's really you! Mama! Come here quickly! It's Mr. Chris from the team 'Kneel Before Me'!" the lady shouted in a really excited tone.
"Oh! Really? Oh God! It's really Mr. Christopher!" a middle-aged lady exclaimed as she walked out from the inner part of the stall which gives a weird awkwardness to Chris...
"Oh dear! Why would you even consider joining that brutal match with those hideous injuries on you? My heart skipped a beat when that rude boy launched that deadly attack on you when he noticed that you are injured." said the middle age lady with a really caring manner.
"Ah... I wonder how the hell he even got so famous in just a morning..." Sky murmured...

Chris: "Oh! This matter. Yes, if you're reading this chapter on another platform than webnovel.com, know that it's an illegal copy diffused without the Writer's authorization."
Sky: "As what Chris said. Right now, this story is free on the authorized platform, so please read it from authorized platforms as mental support for the writer."
Chris: "Mhm... There are two authorized platforms. One is webnovel.com. And another one is that messy and half-dead Weebly site that she uses for draft and backup... But not recommended."
Sky: "Ah... Haha. Yes, as Chris said."
Chris: "But look out, those scums might change this note to their own website link. So, be cautious.
Sky : "By the way, if the cover page is the old cover page that shows two stickmen, stop reading it, it's cursed and might caused the writer to stop writing."
