The legend of the Crimson Demon clan started from Suqing

#195 - I am no longer in the martial arts world, but my legend still exists in the martial arts worl

“I am the high priestess of the Axis Church! Look at this, please look! Take a close look at my adventurer card and you'll know!”

“…Well, sorry, we are both devout Eris followers.”

“Ptooey!”

Aqua spat unceremoniously.

To the left of the main cathedral of the Axis Church is a huge lake, which is also the water source for this town.

Then, behind the church, there is a mountain with hot springs. Everyone judged that the mastermind was doing evil at the source, but the entrance to the back mountain was blocked.

“Even if you are the high priestess of the Axis Church, we cannot let you continue forward.”

The two knights saw the group's attire and, although they didn't say it explicitly, it was clear they were very suspicious of them.

Considering the possibility of a battle.

In short, they are now fully armed.

“Don't get excited, Aqua, leave this to me.” Megumin held down the crazed idiot goddess's shoulders, stepped forward slowly, and flung her cloak, saying in a chuunibyou manner, “I am Megumin! The foremost arch-mage of the Crimson Demons, one who controls explosion magic!”

After speaking, she looked at the two knights with her head held high, wanting to be praised. However, she received a look as if they were looking at an idiot.

“…Wa-, wait, I am a Crimson Demon, you know? Look at my red eyes and black hair, I am an orthodox Crimson Demon.”

“I've heard that Crimson Demons are a bunch of people with problems in their heads, and I've even heard that they have formed an alliance with the Axis Church, but what does that have to do with us?”

“Ah, ah?!”

Megumin was dumbfounded.

This idiot made a mistake. She is popular in this town not because she is a Crimson Demon, but because most of this town are Axis Church members, so it gave her the illusion that she is very popular in this town.

“And I've also heard that Crimson Demons are a bunch of troublesome guys, leave here quickly, otherwise we will use force.”

“…Ptooey!”

Megumin also spat at him.

Such a provocative action, the fact that the two knights didn't get angry on the spot already shows that they are very well-mannered, but the current problem is that they are stuck here and can't continue forward.

Seeing this, Kazuma Satou whispered to the people around him, “Hey, Yunyun…”

“Got your meaning.”

Yunyun gave a thumbs up.

Then Darkness was pushed out.

“Do you know who this is?!”

“Wh-, what?”

“This is the daughter of the great noble Dustiness family, Dustiness Ford Lalatina! If you know, then hurry up and step aside!”

“Eh?!” X2

The two sang in harmony, bluffing the knights.

“Yo-, you two, don't say such blatant things!” Darkness shouted.

But Kazuma Satou had no time to pay attention to her, “This is an order from the Dustiness family. The hot spring pollution commotion that happened yesterday has spread throughout the town. Rather than treating this as an individual hot spring being poisoned, it is more likely that the source is polluted. We are here to investigate on the orders of the young lady!”

“That's right, that's right! So, young lady, quickly take out the necklace hidden in your chest to prove your identity! Do-, don't resist… Hey, you perverted knight, hurry up and take it out, don't force me to violate you!”

Yunyun held down her hands.

But Darkness's strength is really something else. She is like a sow resisting being slaughtered in winter, no matter how hard you press, you can't hold her down.

“You… idiot young lady!”

“Yunyun, hold her down firmly, I'll take it out now… Wah! It hurts, it hurts, it hurts! Yuyu, Aqua! You two, come and help quickly, take out her necklace now!”

Megumin also wanted to help, but the weak her could do nothing even if she took action, she could only call Yunyun and Aqua.

The five people barely subdued this guy.

Darkness howled, “You guys, stop…! The-, the Dustiness family wouldn't abuse their power like this…! Ah ah!”

“Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and take it out! If you continue to resist, I will punish you properly when we get back!”

“Pu-, punish… Yunyun, what do you want to do to me? You already have such a depraved and complicated relationship, and you still have your eyes on me in the end… Ha… ha!”

“You…”

The perverted female knight was really an eyesore.

The two knights couldn't help but wonder, is this Darkness, who is being pressed down by several people, her face red and out of breath, really the young lady of the Dustiness family?

But when they saw the necklace that Megumin snatched—

“Look! This way you will be willing to let us pass, right!”

“We are very sorry, please forgive our rudeness!” X 2

The two knights hurriedly made way, and Megumin seemed to feel quite refreshed when she saw their attitude change after seeing the necklace.

“Darkness, lend me this for a while…”

“No, give it back to me!”

Darkness snatched the necklace back.

At this time, the knights spoke again: “No-, I'm sorry, Lord Dustiness, you said you were here to investigate the source. However, the hot spring manager has already gone up the mountain. And he also said that he wants to investigate the cause of the pollution, so no one is allowed to pass through here…”

Hearing what the knights said, Kazuma Satou and the others looked at each other.

Such a coincidence?

For the sake of caution, he asked: “That manager, is he a man with dark skin and short brown hair?”

“No, it is an elderly man with blond hair. He has been managing the hot springs here for a long time.”

The knights shook their heads.

Yunyun then said: “It's a disguise.”

“…What?”

“Yunyun, do you know something!?”

“Sort of.”

Time was tight, so he didn't deliberately keep them in suspense, and said: “Actually, half a year ago my sister divined that there would be a crisis in the town's hot springs, and that the hot spring manager was disguised as a member of the Demon King's army, and even sent a letter to the security guards in charge of this town's security.”

“Half a year ago!?”

Kazuma Satou's eyes widened. He had seen Yunyun's divination ability, but he didn't expect his never-before-seen sister to make a divination half a year in advance. This was too exaggerated!

Yuyu also seemed to recall something.

The newest and most complete novels are at six nine books bar first!

“Is that the letter that accidentally sent Mr. Zesta to the security bureau? I thought my sister's rare divination had failed, but I didn't expect it to be ahead of time.”

“Ah, that's it, no wonder.”

Megumin also seemed to suddenly understand.

The two knights' eyes lit up even more, and they said that they had been stationed here for exactly half a year, because Setaro's divination letter made the kingdom feel that the Demon King's army would poison this place, so they sent people to guard it.

No wonder they didn't see anyone from the kingdom guarding here last time they came. They thought that the Axis Church members had done something stupid again during his absence, angering the kingdom and sending people here.

They didn't expect the boomerang from half a year ago to hit them right between the eyebrows.

“Miss Setaro? I didn't expect you to be the younger brother of that famous diviner of the Crimson Demons. If you had said so earlier, we would have let you pass.”

“Yes, yes, you need to know that Miss Setaro's divination has solved the kingdom's crisis many times. She is a very famous existence! I heard that she is also the number one beauty of the Crimson Demons. I really want to meet her!”

The two knights looked incomparably longing.

And judging from their appearance, it seems that Setaro's name is more useful than Darkness's noble name?

As expected of Setaro.

Even though she is not in the jianghu, there are legends of her in the jianghu.

After saying goodbye to the knights, the group walked towards the mountain.

They originally thought that the mountain with hot springs should be covered in sulfur and barren, but the result was a steep mountain road with snow everywhere.

Yunyun and the others were also here for the first time.

Last time they soaked in the hot springs behind the church headquarters, which was the hot spring Aqua soaked in, and not the source on the mountain.

Speaking of which, even if they were allowed, they wouldn't go, because the temperature of the hot spring at the source is very hot!

For example, right now.

“It's so hot, hot, hot! I'll get burned, I'll get burned! Wah ah ah ah——”

Aqua shouted while putting her hand into the hot spring.

She doesn't have any strange fetishes like Darkness, but the hot spring gushing out of this pipe is black, which is obviously polluted. Naturally, Aqua couldn't accept it, so she hurriedly purified the hot spring here. But the high temperature of the hot spring scalded her and made her scream.

“You idiot, why are you doing such a thing!”

Kazuma Satou quickly used ice magic on her.

“Kazuma, I'm a little grateful to you.”

“What do you mean by a little grateful?”

During this time, the originally pitch-black and turbid hot spring gradually became as clear as water.

“That's it… But purifying the inside of the pipe is not that simple, so it may take a long time before this source can be used again…”

Aqua, who is usually excited like an idiot, became dejected at this time and looked very sad.

In any case. Now it can be confirmed that someone is polluting the source.

Along the way, the group passed by other sources connected to pipes, all of which were polluted, and Aqua purified them one by one. However, like the pipe just now, it will take a long time before it can be used.

Afterwards, they had almost reached the top of the mountain.

There, they saw a strange person.

“…As expected, is that guy?”

“What's wrong, Kazuma?”

Only Kazuma Satou in the party has the Clairvoyance skill, so he is usually the first one to notice something unusual. Kazuma Satou pointed to the front and told everyone that the man on the wanted list was standing there.

“I see it, there is indeed a figure over there, but what is he doing there? Is there a hot spring source there?”

“Probably. Look, the pipe ends there… Wait a minute, that means that guy is now…!”

That's right!

He is poisoning the source!

Understanding this situation, the group ran over non-stop, determined to stop the other party's evil deeds!
