The legend of the Crimson Demon clan started from Suqing.

Chapter 617 Interested in living in another world?

Mikami Hibiki left quickly.

Because Zun Zun told him that the team would be able to organize a strong fighting force in a few days and then storm the Demon King's castle to defeat the Demon King. He also apologized for his disappearance and asked for his forgiveness for wasting such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

But when he left, his expression didn't seem so happy... no, it should be a conflicted feeling of being both happy and troubled.

Aside from being somewhat narcissistic, this person is actually a person with a strong sense of justice. Moreover, they are not good at hiding their emotions and always show them on the surface, making them easy for others to see through.

Kazuma Sato watched Hyouya Mitsurugi's departing figure and asked in confusion, "What's wrong with that guy? Is he feeling unwell? If Aqua were here, please ask her to treat him."

"Who?"

"Foolish Sword."

"...Hey you, after all this time you still haven't memorized his name?"

Zun Zun couldn't help but complain.

"Names don't really matter," Sato Kazuma said dismissively, even intending to drag the idiot goddess into it as well. "Even Aqua doesn't remember his name, right?"

"How could that be! As a goddess, of course I know the name of the hero I sent!"

"Oh, what's his name?"

"Of course it's...! It's... it's... Brother Demon Sword?"

"See, I told you this guy wouldn't remember."

Kazuma Sato pursed his lips.

These two guys are hopeless.

Mikami Hibiki wasn't very happy, probably because she felt she hadn't been chosen as the hero.

According to Yu-Yu, he used to frequently invite Aqua and Yu-Yu to join him in defeating the Demon King. However, Aqua is known for her laziness and would certainly not want to do such a troublesome task, so she was misunderstood as the goddess thinking that she was not qualified.

Forget it, leave him alone.

In the evening, his companions prepared a rather lavish dinner to welcome him. Megumin, Aqua, and Kazuma Sato were all very unreserved, making one wonder if they were simply craving something delicious.

During the meal, the conversation naturally turned to the battle against the Demon King.

Besides the reminder from Yujian Xiangye, Zun Zun has also returned, and they should complete their unfinished goals and tasks.

While chewing on the succulent saury, Kazuma Sato complained, "I really don't understand why Venerable Zun insists on becoming a demon king, when he's already a god."

"A goal, a goal. I should say it's become my life goal. Perhaps only by achieving it can I achieve fulfillment. Besides, becoming the Demon King doesn't conflict with that."

"That's true."

Zun Zun's deep obsession with the Demon King stems from his sister's casual remark about trapping him. But even so, the Crimson Demon Clan will do everything in their power to achieve it, not to mention that his companions are also pushing him from behind.

To be honest, he felt he was fully entitled to say, "You've really put me through a lot," and then put on a yellow robe... no, normally a demon king should wear a black robe, right?

Aqua tugged at Sato Kazuma's sleeve.

"Kazuma, Kazuma, are we really going to do this? We've become a bit stronger than before, and if we want to make money honestly, we shouldn't be unable to. But making a decision to spend a fortune to defeat the Demon King doesn't seem like something a cautious and timid person like you would do."

Although the sentence sounded like a dig at him, the silly goddess's expression was very serious, and it also revealed her unease.

"...Don't you even think about who was the one who kept shouting about defeating the Demon King in the first place? What, were you just intermittently full of ambition, and then continuously just loafing around and waiting to die?"

Kazuma Sato said this with disdain.

"You do have a desire to return to the Celestial Realm, don't you? Then quickly defeat the Demon King, obtain the right to return to the Celestial Realm at any time, and then enjoy it properly. Forcing yourself or bluffing here will only trigger a death flag, so we must be careful. Especially you, you've been making far too many flag-raising statements, you must keep your mouth shut."

Ultimately, his real reason for wanting to defeat the Demon King lies with Aqua.

Zun Zun knew that although Sato Kazuma didn't say it, he still felt guilty for forcibly bringing her down, otherwise he wouldn't have let her cause such trouble.

of course.

It's also possible that she simply couldn't stand this idiot goddess anymore and was thinking of returning her as soon as possible.
“Kazuma, I think that’s enough. Shall we go back? I miss everyone in Axel too. When I get home, I’ll definitely drink some fine wine while listening to your lectures as if they were just passing by. So… Shall we go back to Axel?”

And you dare to ignore it?!

His nonchalant remarks thoroughly enraged Kazuma Sato.

"Shut up! I don't care what you think, I care what I think! If I don't make you feel like you can be returned to the Heavenly Realm at any time, I'll be in a lot of trouble if something happens!"

"What do you mean by 'returning'? You arrogant NEET! What time is it? Can't you just be honest?!"

The two men were choking each other.

"Okay, okay, stop it! We're still eating!"

Darkness used brute force to separate the two.

"But don't worry." Zun Zun casually tossed the empty crab shell onto the table, then swiftly grabbed the last piece of fried chicken from the plate. "With me here, a mere demon king is no match for us."

"Your Excellency! Yes, there is still Your Excellency!"

"That's it!"

The two made up immediately.

I'm a little annoyed.

Seeing that the two were planning to reap the benefits without lifting a finger, Zun Zun said with a slightly wicked tone, "Even if we don't defeat the Demon King, there's nothing to worry about. It's just a matter of living in a different world. Right, Huihui and Youyou?"

“…What?” She didn’t seem to understand what he meant.

Sato Kazuma suddenly understood, and he quickly said, "That's right! Listen to me, I've lost all hope in this world! Whether it's terrifyingly strong monsters or bizarrely strange women, nothing has happened that satisfies me, so let me live in a different world!"

"Wait, wait... Kazuma, what do you mean by that!?"

"I can't take this as something I see every day!"

"What do you want to express?"

"I have never felt happy teaming up with you guys."

!! !! ? X4
The girls present all glared at Kazuma Sato with hostility. Even Zun Zun had to admit that he knew how to avoid making mistakes. One sentence was enough to anger four girls.

"If you go, that world will definitely become just as useless as you! So..."

Aqua also joined in.

"Let me go! Let me, this beautiful goddess, show them what true wisdom is!"

"…Are you serious?"

Kazuma Sato rolled his eyes at her.

Aqua crossed her arms and said threateningly, "I'm telling you, Kazuma, even if I'm the goddess of wisdom and water, my patience has its limits. If you provoke me like this again, I'll make you regret it!"

I'm saying you're stupid!

"Ah! Kazuma, you actually said it! You actually said it!"

She burst into tears.

Wisdom didn't see it, but Water did.

Kazuma Sato and Aqua, like new employees seeking employment, are trying to curry favor with Mikoto.

"Ahem." Zun Zun coughed dramatically. "It's not impossible to go live in another world, but..."

He glanced at the crabs on the table.

Kazuma Sato and Aqua immediately understood each other's intentions. One helped him peel the crab meat, while the other poured him drinks. They were having a great time.

These few clowns.

Darkness sighed helplessly, Youyou smiled awkwardly, and Huihui pouted unhappily.

"What? You're so smug. Do you think you're the only god?"

"It's the One God, Megumin."

"……what?"

"In that world, I am the only god."

Hearing him say that, everyone became even more interested in that world. They were still discussing how to defeat the Demon King, but now the topic had veered off to another world.

"Fine, since you're all so concerned, I'll tell you. Memory Magic: Memory Manifestation."

……

This section is omitted.

Zun Zun had no idea how much sympathy and anger they felt at seeing the human race in such a weak position during the war. However, everyone had a complex expression on their face. Even Aqua suddenly became like a goddess, clasping her hands together in prayer, which made her seem quite unfamiliar.

Seriously.

If she doesn't do anything foolish, I'd really like to make her a goddess in that world too, but thinking about it carefully, it's better not to cause trouble for myself.

Furthermore, Kazuma Sato has stopped clamoring to live in another world.

Perhaps seeing how unfortunate the human race is, and that even if the great war ends and they no longer kill each other, everything will still be decided by wisdom—only the clever but cunning devils and the real ones are well aware of this.

Although none of his companions said it, Zun Zun could feel their gratitude towards him.

—Thank you for ending the war.

Dinner ended with everyone feeling conflicted.

Zun Zun did not return home, but instead chose to stay at Hui Hui's house, just like his companions. This was because his older sister was still in the capital, holding out there with his classmates and friends—You Gou Hui and others.

While he was lying alone in bed, there was a sudden knock on the door.

"Zun Zun, are you asleep? I need to talk to you about something."

"...Youyou? I'm not asleep yet, wait a moment."

open the door.

What came into view was Youyou wearing a pure white slip dress. Her dress only reached the upper part of her thighs, but her legs were covered with white stockings, and the tightly bound area of ​​her body was somewhat attractive.

Her upper body was slightly protruding, which seemed to indicate that she was not wearing that garment. Her head was adorned with white lace trim, resembling a headdress, making her look both cool and alluring.

Zun Zun never expected You You to come.

No, he should say that he thought the person knocking on the door at night would be the bolder Huihui, but unexpectedly, it was Youyou who came.

When exactly did this child become a carnivore?
