"I, I know... Haa~" Youyou couldn't help but yawn again, her face instantly turning red.

"Why haven't you developed any manners yet?" Huihui teased.

"I... I can't do anything about it," Youyou complained. "My magic hasn't recovered yet."

"It's alright, I don't care about these things," Shi Chen comforted her.

"Thank you, thank you."

"Hmph~ Don't worry, we'll be at Axel soon, there shouldn't be any monsters attacking us then," Megumin said.

"Huihui, you're setting another flag," Youyou said with dissatisfaction.

“I think so too,” Shi Chen added.

"You two... never mind, you don't believe me, right?"

"It's not that I don't trust you," Shi Chen said with a smile, "it's just that the demons have already arrived."

The moment the words "time" were spoken, the guards outside cried out in alarm.

"It's a goblin!"

"The goblin army is coming!"

Huihui: "......"

"Grandmaster!"

"Master Youyou!"

People outside called out to Youyou for help.

"Eh—" Youyou said in despair.

"Haha! Let's go together." Shi Chen patted her shoulder.

"Woooooo~"

Chapter 107 The arrival of gods

"Aha--"

"No, I really can't take it anymore..."

Youyou hunched over, arms hanging limply, panting heavily.

Around her were goblin corpses, green-skinned and wearing armor, along with weapons scattered on the ground.

But they were all charred.

This time, she completely drained her magic, leaving not a single drop. If she hadn't experienced this state yesterday, she would have collapsed on the ground by now.

"You've worked hard." Shi Chen suddenly appeared beside her, gently patting her shoulder and praising her.

"Time, time, why, why aren't you making a move...?" Youyou asked weakly.

"You'll find out soon enough," Shi Chen said with a smile.

"Huh?" Youyou didn't understand.

"Don't worry about it," Shi Chen said, bending down to pick Youyou up in his arms.

"Let's go back."

"Hey! Wait!" Suddenly being carried in a princess carry, Youyou instinctively hugged Shichen's neck, her face instantly turning red.

"Time?"

Her voice was a little shrill because of her shyness.

"You're welcome. This is a reward for those who have made contributions."

"A reward? No, no need..." Youyou quickly said.

"Why are you being so polite with me? Aren't we comrades-in-arms?"

"Comrade..."

"That's right, comrade, just accept it."

"In that case, I... I understand..."

"Hehe~ Let's go."

Shi Chen smiled and led Youyou back to the carriage, but he did not put her down.

"Tsk~ What are you two doing? Showing off your love? Can't you see where it's supposed to be?" Huihui held the little black cat and looked at the two of them with a displeased expression.

"W-what's with all this showing off your love...?" Youyou huddled in Shichen's arms and muttered in protest.

"Are you jealous?" Shi Chen asked back.

"Huh? What do I have to be jealous of?"

"It's simple. Youyou was the biggest contributor, and she ran out of magic. Isn't it normal for me to hold her like this? You didn't contribute anything, so you can only be envious and jealous."

"What a joke!" Huihui retorted loudly, "Why would I be envious or jealous? I'm just taking precautions in case a powerful enemy appears."

"That's perfect, you don't need to be on the safe side now."

"Hmm? What..."

Before Huihui could finish speaking, several bolts of purple lightning suddenly struck the horses in the carriage.

"Cursed Lightning Strike!"

"This is...!"

The crowd looked up at the sky in the direction of the sound and saw a woman flying in mid-air.

Her clothing was somewhat revealing, and her long legs were eye-catching. However, what drew even more attention were the pair of fleshy wings and a slender tail behind her, as well as her bright red hair topped with two horns.

Her image was like a demon, but so alluring that it wasn't frightening.

"Hmph~ You all look exhausted. This time, I'm going to get Lord Volbach back!" the woman said proudly, arms crossed.

"Ah, Anis!" Youyou exclaimed in surprise.

"This is so annoying. It's my Mame no Suke. Shouldn't you just give up?" Megumin said calmly.

"You're the ones who should give up, aren't you? Speaking of which, didn't I already pay you? If you're not willing to hand over Wolbach, then give me my money back." Anis hovered in mid-air, staring at Huihui as he replied.

"Um..." Huihui became embarrassed: "I, I won't be threatened by you. Besides, the followers of the Axis Cult told me that a contract with a demon is like toilet paper... there's no retribution for breaking the contract."

"Huh?!" Anies couldn't believe she could say such a thing.

"No matter what, isn't this a bit too much?" Youyou couldn't help but complain.

"Who is this Anies?" Shi Chen asked knowingly.

"Her..." Youyou explained awkwardly, "She's probably one of the Demon King's subordinates. I don't know why she bought Huihui's pet before, but she got tricked by Huihui..."

"As expected of Huihui." Shichen shook his head and chuckled.

“Indeed…” Youyou found it hard not to agree.

"Hey! Why are you two siding with outsiders?" Huihui said, dissatisfied.

"Who told you to be inhuman?" Shi Chen retorted.

"What do you mean by 'inhuman'? The other party is the Demon King's subordinate, isn't it normal for me to do this?" Huihui said shamelessly.

"You're really something..."

"You... you're just ignoring me like this?"

Anis looked at the sky and they started talking to themselves, as if she didn't exist, clenching their fists and gritting their teeth.

“That’s why I don’t trust humans. The reason I stopped the service of granting wishes by making contracts with demons and paying the price with your souls is because after you grant your wishes, you come up with all sorts of nonsense and refuse to pay the price! And you always bring up some nonsensical wishes. Humans should be more honest!” Anis said seriously.

"..."

"...What's with the lecture? It's from a demon!" Shi Chen couldn't help but complain.

"Ahem." Huihui coughed awkwardly twice.

"But it doesn't matter now."

Anis landed slowly and continued, "My mission is to bring back Lord Volbach. Be prepared!"

"Shichen, put me down quickly," Youyou said.

"What do you want to do?" Shi Chen put her down.

"I want to help Huihui." Youyou staggered over to Huihui's side.

"Really, have you forgotten me?" Shichen followed her to Huihui's other side.

"But... this has nothing to do with you."

"We're comrades-in-arms, what are you talking about?"

“Comrade… um!” A smile bloomed on Youyou’s lovely face.
