The legend of the Crimson Demon clan started from Suqing

#400 - The Evil God in the Capital

Eris was placed in Wiz's magic item shop.

It wasn't because they had a problem with her, or simply fulfilling the agreement and then abandoning her. It was just that if Aqua saw her, a demon, it would be a war.

Letting her work as a helper in Wiz's magic item shop was a good thing for both Kazuma and Vanir.

One couldn't help but suspect.

Was Vanir doing it on purpose?

Because he was really short-handed, but also wanted free labor, so he reminded me not to forget the agreement... It always felt like he had me completely under his thumb in the end.

The few days after returning passed peacefully.

Kazuma stayed in his room making potions.

Wiz said that many loyal old customers wanted to buy the high-level stamina potions he made, and were willing to pay a certain amount of the price in advance.

There was no reason to refuse her.

In any case, he didn't have much money on hand, and his savings had been used to save Darkness. If he didn't work, he would starve.

In addition, the money owed by Darkness and Kazuma was written off. They were teammates in the first place, and they would have readily paid even without Vanir's interference.

Plus, Vanir also compensated for the magic mirror, so Kazuma didn't plan to pursue the matter.

Also, the magic mirror was temporarily placed in the basement.

If it was placed in the mansion, Aqua and Kazuma might do something outrageous one day, so they absolutely couldn't be allowed to touch it. Moreover, Kazuma planned to bring the magic mirror with him when he returned to the Crimson Demon Village this year.

Unlike the Crimson Demons who would think, 'It feels so cool, so let's take it back to the village,' Kazuma was taking it back to prevent it from being used by bad people.

The days passed peacefully.

This unchanging daily life continued until one day. The morning sun shone into the room through the window, illuminating the dust particles dancing in the air.

After getting up, Kazuma stretched greatly.

Recently, he had been working hard to make potions, so he planned to take a day off today.

He might as well go on a date with Yunyun and Megumin.

Thinking this, Kazuma came to the living room of the mansion.

Seeing that Kazuma and the others were all there, he said in surprise, "It's rare to see you, Kazuma and Aqua, getting up so early. Wait, don't tell me you two are planning to go to sleep now?"

"No, I went to bed early last night."

"Me too."

Kazuma and Aqua had actually changed their ways. As expected, even garbage Kazuma and a stupid goddess could grow.

"More than that, Kazuma, look!"

"What's wrong?"

He casually took the newspaper handed over by Darkness.

Because there was no internet, Axel still relied on the relatively old-fashioned means of newspapers to spread news. No, even in modern society, many people are loyal to newspapers and like the smell of ink.

— Unfortunately, Kazuma was not among them.

The newspaper had many sections, including news about Axel, news about the surrounding areas, and news about the royal capital. However, Kazuma and the others didn't read the newspaper to get information or anything, it was purely because the four-panel comics serialized in it were good.

"Speaking of which, it's been more than a month since I came back. Where are the four-panel comics in the newspaper serialized to?"

"Oh, it's serialized to the Winter Shogun going to save the snow elves... No, that's not it! Look here, here!"

Kazuma pointed to the front page of the newspaper, with a particularly conspicuous large-character headline, signaling to look here.

"— The Demon King Army's executive arrives at the front line, the battle situation changes accordingly, and the royal capital is in crisis...?"

Kazuma slowly read out the headline.

Before he could read the report carefully, Kazuma shouted loudly, "Evil god, it's an evil god!"

"Wait a minute! I've said it many times, whether it's an evil god or something, any guy who calls himself a god should be condemned by heaven!"

Aqua crossed her arms in dissatisfaction, completely unaware that she always called herself a goddess.

Ignoring the two's quarrel, Kazuma carefully looked at the detailed description in the newspaper:

There is a castle on the front line near the royal capital, which is being attacked by the Demon King Army's executive. It also said that the executive is an evil god who is good at terrible magic. And the name of that Demon King Army executive is —

"Evil God Wolbach..."

"—!?"

At this moment, Megumin couldn't help but shiver, and her little face became a little pale. She hugged the black cat in her arms tightly, and the black cat meowed in pain.

"What should we do... Kazuma, this is not good!" Yunyun said nervously, "The evil god Wolbach, who was originally sealed in the Crimson Demon Village, has actually run out to cause trouble..."

"D-Don't panic, Yunyun, it has nothing to do with us, right? The village's seal was broken, not because of us, so —"

"It's Megumin's fault!"

"Eh?"

"It's all your fault for breaking the evil god's seal. Not only that, but you also made it your familiar, didn't you?"

"Ugh!"

Megumin was completely speechless.

To be precise, it wasn't entirely Megumin's fault. Komekko also had a lot of responsibility. She broke the evil god's seal twice, so that Douchouchou, the evil god's other half, was also brought out by Komekko.

"You sisters really don't do good things!"

"I don't want to be told that by you!"

Yunyun and Megumin wrestled together.

"W-Wait a minute, I've been feeling confused since just now." Aqua asked foolishly, "Sealed evil god... what does that mean?"

"Are we starting from here!?"

Whether it was Kazuma or the others, they were all shocked by the stupid goddess's stupidity.

"— A long time ago, our ancestors fought fiercely with the evil god, and finally successfully sealed the evil god. Later, the ancestors decided to bring the evil god to the Crimson Demon Village for strict supervision."

"Actually, it's because someone said that the place where the evil god is sealed sounds very cool, so the villagers kidnapped the evil god sealed by a capable person from somewhere without authorization, and re-sealed it in a corner of the village as a tourist attraction."

"Don't spoil the fun, Yunyun, you fake Crimson Demon!"

"Megumin is the one who should tell the truth at this time! Also, I'm not a fake Crimson Demon, I'm just a little different from other Crimson Demons!"

The two Crimson Demons quarreled again.

I can understand Megumin's feelings, just like when Meryl passionately began to explain the legend of the Frozen God Sword, but Elgar lightly brushed it over.

Seeing the gazes from Kazuma and the others, Kazuma sighed and continued to explain to them.

The newest novel is first published on 69shu.com!

"One day, Megumin thought the name 'evil god' was very cool, so she unconsciously lifted the seal, which is the Wolbach who is now causing trouble near the royal capital; then her sister Komekko also lifted the seal one day and got Douchouchou, Wolbach's other half."

"You sisters really don't do good things!"

Kazuma couldn't hold it in anymore.

The sisters successively lifted the evil god's seal, and the Crimson Demons transferred the sealed evil god without authorization. Is there really something wrong with their heads?

"...Wait a minute, Kazuma."

"What's wrong?"

"I just heard something that shouldn't be ignored. Did you just say that Douchouchou is actually an evil god!?"

"To be precise, it's the evil god's other half."

Afterwards, Kazuma told them about the experience of being blocked by high-level demons one after another and then counter-killing them back in the Crimson Demon Village.

"What they were looking for was Douchouchou. And this is the beginning of our journey."

"So that's how it is..."

Kazuma hadn't said these things, so it was understandable that they didn't know.

"I didn't expect it to be the evil god's other half..."

Kazuma scratched Douchouchou's chin, and Douchouchou purred comfortably. He had seen it fly and breathe fire, but he thought it was just an ordinary monster, but he didn't expect it to have such a big background.

"— No, Kazuma!"

"Megumin?"

"Douchouchou is not the evil god's other half, it's the main body!"

"...Hey!"

Compared to the unreliable Megumin, Kazuma was more willing to believe Kazuma, but since this guy is Douchouchou's master, he should know some information, just in case.

"Kazuma, how do you know that Douchouchou is the evil god's other half?"

"Because I summoned the demon big sister who chased us back then."

"Is that so, no wonder... Hmm????"

"— Summoned it out!?" X5

This time, including Yunyun and Megumin, everyone shouted in disbelief.

"Huh, didn't I say it?"

"You didn't say it!"

"Kazuma, summoning demons is very dangerous. If you are not careful, you will be confused by the traps in the contract!"

Darkness looked serious.

She was originally a guardian knight of the Eris Church, so she was naturally very sensitive to the existence of demons.

"That's right!" Aqua also shouted unhappily, "Summoning demons, Kazuma, you are blaspheming God!"

"Oh."

"Don't look like it doesn't matter!"

"No, no, no, it's irrelevant." Kazuma covered Aqua's mouth, not letting her act shamelessly here, and looked at Kazuma at the same time: "The demon you summoned..."

"Don't worry. In fact, she is harmless like Vanir and Wiz."

"She? Is it a female demon?"

"That's right. She is now working as a waitress in Wiz's magic item shop. You should have seen her, the big sister in the bodysuit."

"Oh, it's her."

Kazuma suddenly understood.

These days, when he went to Wiz's magic item shop to play, he met Eris. The other party seemed very kind and friendly. The most important thing was that the swimsuit bodysuit suited his taste very well.

Even if Kazuma said so, everyone was still not relieved. Especially Yunyun and Megumin, who had faced Eris head-on, so they naturally had a strong wariness towards her.

"That big sister wanted to knock Kazuma down and bring him back as a slave..."

"What, there's such a good thing!?"

What Kazuma was thinking about in his head was definitely a bad picture, and that was completely a misunderstanding by everyone in the Crimson Demon Clan. In fact, Eris's goal from beginning to end was Douchouchou.

However, with Eris's loyalty to Wolbach, she would definitely ask to go with them when she heard that the other party was in the royal capital.

...Wait a minute, is this also within Vanir's calculations?
