Chapter 31: Humans in the Hellish Trial
"Everyone, this is Kaiju!" Qwanisha enthusiastically introduced Kaiju with the other three people aside from Max.
Faith Miller was there, staring at kaiju intensely, causing the latter to feel uncomfortable. On her left was Lucy. If Faith Miller possessed, according to Kaiju's impression, a stubborn disposition, despite concealing it with her curious countenance, Lucy seemed to be naive and cowardly. She embraced a wooden staff of her size with her arms exaggeratedly, while, with Kaiju's keen perception, her body was fidgeting as her eyes darted everywhere.
Kaiju was baffled by her behavior. To survive on this Hellish Trial, possibly longer than he was, with such a temperament made Kaiju perplexed.
"Don't be fooled by her. She's a devil," said the person beside Lucy, waking Kaiju in a daze.
He felt embarrassed when he realized he was staring intensely for a while now at Lucy. He glanced at Lucy once again and caught her bashful expression. Well, if it was other people, especially a stranger, glaring at him like what he did, he would feel embarrassed as well.
Kaiju curiously slid his gaze to the person beside Lucy and was startled by the impressive, fierce aura exuded by him. Kaiju felt like staring at the hurricane up close. Even Snow sitting on his right shoulder and Little Gorilla on his left shoulder informed him about the peril the man could bring towards them.
Kaiju has been used to such an aura so he didn't panic and even stared at the man straight into his eyes. However, his action stirred the man's ego, causing the latter to abruptly widen his eyes and a gush of wind suddenly manifested, causing Kaiju to lower his gaze. His breathing roughened, and perspirations appeared all over his face.
'I thought I was about to die.'
"Griffin!" Qwanisha shouted and glared at the man with her fierce countenance.
Griffin glanced at her and turned his head away indifferently. Qwanisha trembled in exasperation but, instead of scolding Griffin more, she comforted Kaiju.
"Don't worry, kid. That guy is just too arrogant." Qwanisha stepped forward and patted Kaiju's back.
