The legend of the Crimson Demon clan started from Suqing

#274 - Returning Home

Kazuma Sato struggled beneath the weight of the female Orc Tarzan, but how could a small-armed, small-legged, mediocre adventurer possibly break free from a continuously optimized female Orc?

"S-Stop————! Names! That's right, I don't even know your name or age, this might be my first time! We should start with introductions, ahhhhh————! My name is Kazuma Sato, may I ask who you are?"

"Bouncing and lively, age 16, Orc Schwartina!

"Knowing each other's names is enough for today! Dismissed————! Aqua! Yunyun! Help me, ahhhhh————"

He screamed like a young maiden.

"Light of Saber!"

"Eeeeek——————"

At that moment, intense lightning exploded, striking all the Orcs with chained lightning. Kazuma Sato was also caught in the blast, and you could even see his bones inside.

The smell of burning spread across the plain.

"Wh-Why..."

Kazuma Sato spat out a mouthful of black smoke, his entire body charred black, and he completely passed out.

Darkness felt a little sorry for him.

"Yunyun, wasn't that a bit too much?"

"Did you want to see him defiled by female Orcs? Darkness, you seem to have a rather unusual interest?"

"Eh, I-I don't have that kind of thought! Besides, rather than Kazuma being defiled by Orcs, I'd rather be the one to... Haa... How wonderful!"

The perverted female knight writhed her body.

Considering Kazuma Sato, Yunyun had already held back; she didn't really turn those female Orcs into roast pigs. As for Kazuma Sato, he wouldn't complain to her; he would actually thank Yunyun.

"Thank you, Yunyun! Thank you so much!"

See, he's even thanking us.

"Ew, how dirty!"

He seemed to be retaliating against Yunyun for electrifying him so black, smearing the dirty marks on his face and snot all over Yunyun's cloak.

Disgusted, she broke free from his embrace of her thigh, and Kazuma Sato smeared all the snot on her, almost making Yunyun send him to see Eris.

They were now resting temporarily in the nearby woods, with Aqua healing Kazuma Sato. But while the physical wounds were easy to heal, the emotional wounds were difficult.

Kazuma Sato, like a defiled young girl, cried and sobbed, saying, "Yunyun, you're really too kind. Thank you for being willing to save me... Waaah..."

"Well... you see, we're companions, aren't we? It's only right to save you."

Yunyun's expression was awkward.

She really couldn't say that she was provoked by Aqua and Darkness before she lost her temper and acted.

"Ah... I've finally realized something." Wrapped in a blanket, as if only that could bring Kazuma Sato a sense of warmth, he sighed, "You're all beauties."

"Kazuma, why are you acting like this? It's disgusting."

"Calm down, this guy must have ulterior motives!"

Aqua and Darkness said rude things, but Kazuma Sato wasn't angry; instead, he accepted it all.

"You're all truly beautiful!"

"—Aqua, quickly heal Kazuma again!"

The two of them completely panicked.

After making a fuss for a while and resting thoroughly, they walked on the road to the Crimson Demon Village. Seemingly eager to return home, and as if the topic happened to turn to the Crimson Demon Village, Yunyun and the others talked a lot about the Crimson Demons.

For example, almost all Crimson Demons have chuunibyou, the Crimson Demon Village is full of forbidden areas, and about Megumin's Explosion magic.

The people of the Crimson Demon Village don't know that Megumin can only use Explosion magic; to be precise, no one except their homeroom teacher knows.

It wouldn't have mattered much.

She just needed to learn other magic.

However, Megumin was only fond of Explosion magic, stubbornly unwilling to learn other magic, so Yunyun had been urging her companions not to let it slip.

"This kind of thing doesn't matter, does it?"

"Yunyun?"

"There's nothing wrong with only knowing Explosion magic. Besides, with me and you, Yunyun, there's no need to worry about her safety."

Yunyun waved her hand.

As the saying goes, everyone has their own ambitions. Although Explosion magic is jokingly called comedy magic, with its enormous power, almost any strong enemy will be blasted into ashes, and it will become the team's trump card—you should know that even now, in terms of power alone, Yunyun's magic is not as good as Megumin's Explosion magic.

"Wait, Yunyun, the way you said that makes it sound like I'm a burden!"

"...I clearly said trump card."

"That's not right! I heard burden! Okay, if you have an opinion, then let's compete! Let me, the real Explosion magic user, defeat you, the fake, and let you understand the difference between us!"

"Don't call me a fake!"

Yunyun angrily clenched her fist, pressing Megumin's temples with her two middle fingers, causing her to scream in pain.

This guy still harbored resentment towards Yunyun's imitation of Explosion magic, always despising and spurning it, saying that it wasn't real Explosion magic.

What does it matter?

Without wasting 50 huge skill points, and with not much reduction in power, it can already be said to be a great advantage. I really don't understand what Megumin is still insisting on.

Just as the two were arguing about Explosion magic, perhaps the sound was too loud and disturbed the enemy.

"Found them, they're here! Someone is hiding in this kind of place—"

"Don't get in the way! I'm gonna explode!"

"—Explosion!"

The two who were already worked up couldn't listen to anyone else's arguments at all, and without saying a word, they used their strongest magic, as if to prove who was the real number one Explosion magic user.

And this red-horned ogre wearing armor didn't even have time to call for his companions before he was instantly evaporated.

It wasn't just him.

Darkness and Aqua were also affected by the violent magic, and the entire area was flattened. The tragic situation was undoubtedly a loss of eight hundred to the enemy and a thousand to oneself. The entire area was destroyed beyond recognition.

"Cough cough... Pui, pui!"

Kazuma Sato struggled to crawl out from underground.

Beside him was Darkness, who had protected him, Aqua, and Yunyun. Yunyun also stood up shakily.

The distance of the explosion was too close, and no one was spared.

Moreover, it was a double hit.

Megumin, lying on the ground unable to move, shouted triumphantly, "How is it? My Explosion magic, isn't it stronger than yours, Yunyun!? Say it, Kazuma, Aqua, Darkness, and Yunyun, who is more powerful!?"

"You two big idiots————!"

Yunyun scolded angrily.

Yunyun was also awakened by this blast. Maybe it was because she was too close to the Crimson Demon Village that her emotions became a little agitated.

Just as the group staggered, wanting to leave this place, a group of monsters ran from a distance. Looking at their attire, similar to the monsters from before, and thinking about the Crimson Demon Village being surrounded by the Demon King's army, their identities were already obvious.

As expected—

"Hehehe, found the Crimson Demon brats! Unexpectedly, they're injured, that's great!"

The goblin leading the group walked forward with a strange laugh.

Kazuma Sato had completely panicked and shouted, "Hey, Yunyun... I mean, Yunyun, what do we do now, ahhhhh!"

He, Darkness, and Yunyun, who were affected by the explosion, didn't have the strength to fight. Aqua was useless, and Megumin's magic power was exhausted. Currently, there was only Yunyun left.

"Sorry, but my magic power is also running out."

"Are you kidding me!"

Kazuma Sato slapped the ground.

Actually, there was no need to be afraid. Even if Yunyun didn't have any magic power—in a situation where the Xianjing couldn't manifest, he still had Cherry Bombs, which could completely set off another huge firework.

But unexpectedly, before that.

Suddenly, a group of four people wearing black robes appeared from empty space.

No, not all of them were wearing black robes. Two of them were wearing black jumpsuits similar to knight's leather, with fingerless gloves on their hands.

Some were holding staffs, some were holding wooden swords, and some were even holding sledgehammers.

In short, their clothes and weapons were not uniform, and they were all quite individualistic.

"...Set-trap Sister?"

"Yunyun!"

The person who appeared before them—a sweet-looking older sister—showed a bright smile after seeing Yunyun, and then hugged her.

Ah, this was it.

Neither the absent Megumin nor the immature Yunyun could compare to this, the comfortable and soft touch.

"You're back! You... you're injured?"

After seeing Yunyun's disheveled appearance, Set-trap Sister's gentle expression immediately turned terrifying, and the wooden sword in her hand creaked.

"Ah, this is..."

"Is it the Demon King's army, right?"

"Eh?"

Yunyun was stunned. She was about to explain when Set-trap Sister covered her mouth.

"I know, you don't need to say anything. Without a doubt, it's the Demon King's army, right?"

Her scarlet eyes glared at the Demon King's minions in front.

"Eek!?"

Those guys made obvious, embarrassing screams.

The other three—led by Green Flower Coconut—were also extremely angry because Yunyun was injured.

"How dare you hurt the treasure of the Crimson Demons..."

"The person our Crimson Demon clan cherishes..."

"A genius who appears only once in a millennium..."

"Heavenly Punishment!"

Set-trap Sister and the others had scarlet eyes, emitting a terrifyingly powerful pressure, and materialized red magic shrouded the sky.

The Demon King's army tried to run away in panic, but they were caught up by the group of four who had used magic to increase their physical abilities, and they quickly began to chant the exact same incantation.

The leader of the Demon King's army saw this and stretched out his hand forward—

"W-Wait, wait! Don't do this, stop... let's talk this over!"

But before the minion could speak, Set-trap Sister and the others had already completed their magic.

"Light of Saber!"

" of Saber!"

"Saber!"

"————ber!!!!!"

The four of them shouted in succession, and at the same time, their hand swords emitted light. They aimed their shining hand swords at the Demon King's minions and waved them in succession.

In the blink of an eye, the minions were cut into chunks of wreckage.

Kazuma Sato was dumbfounded.

"Hey..."

"Ah, I'm so sorry for scaring you, Mr. Kazuma. I forgot to say, Yunyun is very popular in the Crimson Demon clan, so—"

Yunyun smiled awkwardly.

And Kazuma Sato couldn't help but feel terrified and suspicious. Did such a violent race really need assistance!?
