Intro
Step right up and behold! This is the circus where we show you performances using the rarest non-humans in the world!
☆~Monster Circus~☆
Any non-human you take a liking to is available for purchase at your leisure!
The show is about to begin, please take your seats!
Wait... using non-humans...? I sat in my seat, listening to the announcement. I had no idea it was a "show using non-humans." I had come here thinking it was just an ordinary circus.
Non-humans of various species are performing while being treated as slaves. They are forced to jump into flames, walk tightropes without safety lines, and use their respective abilities to hype up the venue.
To put it bluntly, it's the absolute worst. And yet, the audience all looked like they were having fun. This place isn't normal.
