#404 - So brave?
#404 - So brave?
In a situation that no one expected, Kazuma Sato actually pounced on Wolbach like a hungry tiger, knocking her down.
The two wrestled back and forth on the edge of the pool.
"Let go! What are you doing? This is sexual harassment! This is already sexual harassment, right? You're being so rude! And you, young man over there, didn't you say he had the desire but not the guts? Why did he suddenly jump on me?! Ahhh, stop pulling my towel!"
The older sister cried out with a tearful voice.
Because the towel was already quite small, and coupled with her very good figure, even a slight twist of her body would reveal a large expanse of fair skin, which was quite eye-catching.
"Oh, oh, oh—"
Seeing this, Yunyun couldn't help but say, "Kazuma, have you finally changed your job to a pervert? I'm really surprised. But you being so bold, I actually want to praise you a little."
"Wait…! That's not it, Yunyun!"
Kazuma Sato desperately pulled on the older sister's towel, looking no different from a pervert trying to get a glimpse. If he attacked a girl in a regular mixed bath, he would definitely have been kicked out long ago.
But luckily, it was already very late, and plus, there were only the three of them in the bath, so it didn't cause a commotion.
"Didn't you hear just now? She's Wolbach! I just tested her a little, and she revealed her real name. Plus, she's with Hans, a member of the Demon King's army, which means she's also a member of the Demon King's army!"
"Eh? Eh? Eh? ————"
The older sister… no, Wolbach, didn't expect to hear Hans's name, nor did she expect her identity as a member of the Demon King's army to be exposed.
"So Yunyun, quickly take this opportunity to get rid of her!"
Kazuma Sato's mind worked very quickly.
When he heard about the Crimson Demons, the seal, and the half-body, the first thing he thought of was the evil god Wolbach. Although he tested her and found out it wasn't her, he still cautiously called out 'Wolbach' as a precaution. And since the other party responded, there was obviously no misunderstanding.
Before coming, Yunyun said that she had no problem facing the evil god Wolbach alone, so now is the best time for a one-on-one fight!
"Don't worry about me, even if I die, Aqua will help me revive, so… Hey! Yunyun, why are you still soaking in the hot spring!?!"
When Kazuma Sato saw the team's ace soaking in the hot spring without moving, he couldn't help but shout.
"Kid ————"
"Eh!?"
At some point, Wolbach had calmed down from her previous panic. Although she smiled like a cat, the killing intent hidden in that smile was hard to conceal.
"Eek! ————!"
Kazuma Sato's miserable screams came from the hot spring.
And this scream also reached the guest room.
Darkness quickly got up and shouted, "It's Kazuma! He seems to be in danger!"
"No, impossible."
"That's right, it's impossible."
"If Yunyun is there, he won't be in danger."
The three quickly denied it.
"Oh, right." Darkness suddenly realized, "Yunyun also went to the hot spring with him, so he shouldn't be in danger, but this scream…"
"He must have done something excessive. Maybe he has some thoughts about Yunyun and couldn't control himself… or something?"
"What! No! That kind of development…!"
Aqua's words made Darkness have some inappropriate fantasies, and Yuyu and Megumin also looked towards the direction of the hot spring with some worry.
"Forget about that!"
After that, Aqua urged, "Megumin, quickly tell us about your encounter with the older sister who taught you explosion magic. What happened in the end?"
"Later ah…"
Megumin stroked Chomusuke's head, her thoughts returning to the first time she met Wolbach.
On the other side.
Yunyun casually pushed away the pitch-black Kazuma Sato who was floating over, keeping the perverted man who had been electrocuted away from herself.
Wolbach looked at the hot spring for a while, then looked at her body, wondering what she was thinking, and hesitated for a while, not knowing whether to leave or not.
"…If you don't like it, you can come down and wash again."
Hearing this, Wolbach still soaked back into the hot spring again. The hot water covered her whole body, and a feeling of healing surged into her heart, and she let out a comfortable sigh.
"Actually, I heard that the hot spring here has a healing effect, so I came here specifically, but I didn't expect…"
"Sorry, Kazuma did something you didn't like."
"On the contrary."
Wolbach shook her head lightly and said, "I don't know why, but I don't hate him, which makes me feel a little unacceptable."
"Hmm…"
If uninformed people heard this sentence, they would have already determined her to be a pervert, but Yunyun understood that it was because Kazuma Sato had been feeding Chomusuke every day, which had contaminated it with his aura, which made Wolbach feel close.
Because Chomusuke is Wolbach's other half.
Wolbach squinted her cat-like yellow eyes, looked at Yunyun carefully again, and then said, "That's strange."
"What's strange?"
"You don't hate me. You know, when those people know that I am an evil god and a member of the Demon King's army, they rush up like crazy, shouting to crusade against me… whether it's the Crimson Demons or the adventurers."
Her eyes were a little sad.
Honestly, Wolbach shouldn't have any hatred for the Crimson Demons, after all, the Crimson Demons just transferred the seal in the first place, and didn't personally seal her, otherwise she wouldn't have taught Megumin explosion magic.
It's just that her title as a member of the Demon King's army is too sensitive, which is why she is rejected by everyone.
"Because I have other purposes."
"Other purposes?"
Yunyun's words made her a little curious.
The Crimson Demons are for the sake of being cool, and the adventurers want a high reward, other than that, I can't think of any other purpose.
At this time, Yunyun suddenly stood up.
"I am Yunyun, the number one archmage of the Crimson Demons, the strongest Crimson Demon who will eventually become the benevolent, the good, the supreme, and the strongest Demon King!"
Posing in a strange posture didn't make Wolbach laugh, but instead made her fall into deep thought, while muttering something in a low voice.
"Yunyun… Crimson Demons… Demon King… I see, you are what the Demon King-sama said…"
"What did you say?"
"Nothing."
"Ah, is that so."
It seemed like she heard her say something about the Demon King, probably thinking that Yunyun's goal was very great.
"So… what is the purpose?"
"Didn't I say it already, to become the Demon King."
"That's not what I meant…"
"I want to invite you."
Yunyun stretched out her hand to Wolbach.
"—Will you come with me?"
The usual invitation. Except for Hans, who clearly broke the contract and harmed humans, she has extended invitations to every member of the Demon King's army, even though those people are different, they still live in the world today.
"I… forget it."
Wolbach showed a lonely expression.
She didn't seem to have any good feelings for the Demon King's army, and even showed obvious disgust the moment she heard Yunyun say she wanted to become the Demon King.
"Ah, is that so."
Yunyun didn't get angry, of course, she didn't give up either, after all, those former members of the Demon King's army didn't let go at first, but later they still obediently complied.
"But next time we meet, I won't show mercy."
"…I couldn't ask for more."
Wolbach showed a gentle smile, not knowing whether she was satisfied with the hot spring at the relay station, or whether she was satisfied that Yunyun didn't start a fight now.
Time passed little by little.
When Aqua and the others ran over to ask if something had happened, Wolbach also knew that today's hot spring time was over and prepared to get up and leave.
At this time, Yunyun suddenly spoke.
"Speaking of which, have you seen Eris?"
"No. But when she stepped into this hot spring inn, I sensed her aura."
"Then do you want to meet her?"
"…No need."
Wolbach shook her head, not intending to meet her former subordinate who was desperately searching for her. She was unexpectedly a bit ruthless.
"That child has signed a contract with you now, right?"
"That's right."
"Then as my request, I hope you can treat her well, please."
"…I know."
—It doesn't seem to be that ruthless.
Wolbach nodded to Yunyun and then left the hot spring. Kazuma Sato also recovered from his lying corpse state.
"Yunyun…"
"Are you awake, Kazuma."
"Except that my body is still a little numb, I don't seem to be injured."
Kazuma Sato moved his shoulders a bit.
Then, he sighed and said, "Sorry, I thought about it, I was impulsive."
"Hmm?"
"Look, this is a hot spring inn, right? If there is a conflict with a member of the Demon King's army here, wouldn't the ordinary people living here be in danger? And the inn would also be destroyed, I don't want to become like that."
Learn from a fall.
Whether it was the battle with the Dullahan in Axel that destroyed the plains, or the battle with Hans in Alcanretia that damaged the aqueduct, Yunyun and the others paid a lot of money.
So even if they defeated a member of the Demon King's army here, they would have to pay a lot of money to repair the destroyed hot spring inn, in that case, Kazuma Sato would rather not fight.
"…Kazuma, you really have a lot of calculations. And I didn't expect you to be so brave, the other party is a member of the Demon King's army, and you hugged her without any regard… Sure enough, have you changed your job to a pervert?"
"I'll take that as your praise."
Kazuma Sato shamelessly accepted it all.
"By the way, should we tell Aqua and the others about this?" Kazuma Sato scratched his head and said, "Meeting a member of the Demon King's army at a hot spring inn, maybe those few people will be scared to death."
"There's no need to hide anything, besides, isn't our purpose to defeat the evil god Wolbach?"
"That's right. As long as Yunyun is here, a mere evil god is nothing."
He has a lot of confidence in Yunyun.
However—
"What are you talking about, Kazuma." Yunyun suddenly said at this time, "I don't plan to take action. Because this time's protagonist is not me."
"But you said you could defeat the evil god…"
"Being able to beat ≠ will take action, don't get me wrong."
"…Excuse me, can I go back to Axel?"
Hearing these words, Kazuma Sato resolutely proposed to go home, his usual poor character not changing in the slightest.
