Crossover Anime: A Dimensional Journey Starting with Frilian

"..."

The culprit who spread the rumors has now been identified.

"Let's go, let's go see the village. I don't want to see any more of this stuff," Shi Chen said speechlessly. He was too lazy to look any further.

"Huh? You're already bored? There are still many interesting things to do."

"Forget it, let's take a look at the cultural landscape of your Red Devil Village instead, and introduce me to some of your acquaintances."

"OK then."

Chapter 379 Treasures in the Underground Vault

"Shichen, this is the only clothing store in Crimson Demon Village."

"The only one? That's amazing!"

Arriving at a clothing store, Shi Chen listened to Youyou's introduction and looked around the store in surprise.

Outside the shop hangs an antique-style sign with a clothing logo. Through the glass in the door, you can see the owner, who is dressed in a black robe and has a rather dignified appearance.

There weren't many customers inside, just the owner at the counter, and the shop wasn't very big at all.

Is this all the only shop we have?

Oh right, the coffee shop seems to be the only one there.

Suddenly, Shichen remembered.

"Want to go in and take a look?" Youyou asked.

"Let's go in and take a look; maybe they'll find some nice clothes." Shi Chen nodded.

"Then let's go in and take a look."

As soon as the owner pushed open the door and walked into the store, he glanced at Shi Chen and his group.

"Isn't this Huihui and Youyou? You're back! Welcome... Hmm? You guys, you're not from out of town, are you?"

The boss suddenly stared at Shi Chen and the others, his expression turning serious.

"It's a little scary..." Aqua was a little afraid of her boss's sharp eyes and hid behind Shichen in fear.

“That’s right,” Shi Chen nodded in response.

"That's just right!"

Suddenly, the shopkeeper stood up, flipped over the counter with a sideways movement, and stood quite dashingly in front of Shichen, even flicking his cloak.

"I am Checknao! As an archmage, I am skilled in high-level magic and am the top clothing store owner of the Crimson Demon Clan!"

"...Oh, I see. Hello, I'm Shichen." Shichen's lips twitched involuntarily.

Let's start over.

The boss smiled with satisfaction: "Welcome! It's been so long since I've seen people from out of town! When was the last time I signed up? Oh well, thanks to you guys, I feel much better."

"Hehe~ Whatever makes you happy... I'd like to ask, why is your clothing store the only one in Crimson Devil Village?"

"Because there were only a few shops in this village to begin with. I was the only clothing store, and there was only one shoe store. The other stores were the same, with no competitors at all."

"shoe store......"

Shi Chen suddenly remembered that the green-flowered teasing man had said he was the son of a shoe store owner.

However, according to what Checkman said, he finally understood why there was only one store among so many others, and why the competition among them was so fierce.

Are you all thinking about how to look cool?

"Youyou, let's go."

Shi Chen casually glanced around the store and found that the clothes were a bit too trendy and didn't suit him at all, so he prepared to leave.

"OK......"

"Shichen, wait a minute!" Aqua suddenly tugged at his clothes.

"What's wrong?" Shi Chen turned to look at her.

"Look there."

"Uh-huh!"

Following Aqua's directions, Shichen discovered something extraordinary.

"What's wrong? Isn't this clothesline nice?" Check asked with a laugh.

"Are you sure this is a clothesline?"

"Guest, do you know what this is? This is a clothes drying pole that has been passed down in our family for generations. It will never rust no matter how you use it, and it works very well," the owner replied with a smile.

Aqua muttered to herself, "That looks like a rifle no matter how you look at it."

That's right, what Shichen saw was a rifle. Although it was about the same size as a clothesline, it was imposing and a long, large rifle.

It was actually being used as a clothes drying pole.

Well, in a world with magic, rifles are indeed nothing special.

The time of day didn't matter to them, and they had no desire for it, so they left with Youyou and the others.

"Are there any other good places in the village?" Shi Chen couldn't help but ask as they left the clothing store.

"Hmm... Let me think. Shichen, would you like to enjoy the beautiful scenery? There's an observation deck at the top of the mountain. That observation deck is equipped with a super-powerful telescope that can spy on the Demon King's castle at any time, and even the Demon King's daughter's room can be seen."

"...Never mind, are there any other places?"

"There's another atmospheric spot on the mountaintop! There's a hill there called [Demon God's Hill]. Legend has it that couples who confess their love there and get married will be cursed by the demon god and never be separated again. It's a very popular romantic tourist spot for couples." Youyou looked at the time expectantly.

It seems she wants to go there with Shichen.

However, Shi Chen had no interest in this; he had no need for any demon god's curse.

"Never mind, it sounds too heavy."

“Okay…” Youyou looked disappointed.

"Huihui, do you have any recommendations?"

"Me? You don't like those places anyway." Huihui pouted in dissatisfaction.

"Um... do you know any interesting basements?"

"Basement? There is an underground facility."

"Then let's go there and take a look."

"But we can't get in."

“I can go in.”

"Really? Let's go quickly, I want to see what's inside!" Huihui excitedly led the way.

Soon, Shichen and the others followed Huihui to an unremarkable entrance leading underground.

"Shichen, this is an underground facility that seals [a weapon powerful enough to destroy the world]. It is impossible to know exactly when this place has existed, but one theory is that it was built at the same time as the mysterious facility over there."

As Huihui spoke, she pointed to a mysterious, enormous facility that looked like a reinforced concrete building.

"What is that facility for?"

"I don't know. A mysterious facility is a mysterious facility. Its purpose is a mystery. Who built it and for what purpose, and when it was completed, are all mysteries. Even after exploring inside, we still have no idea. That's why the tribe calls it a mysterious facility and doesn't plan to demolish it." Huihui shook her head.

"Ok."

"A weapon powerful enough to destroy the world... There's something that sounds terrifying. As expected of the Crimson Demon Clan, the seal here shouldn't be easy to break, right? Perhaps it's the best place to keep such a thing." Darkness couldn't help but sigh.

“Get up. There are still two formidable seals, but they have already been broken,” Youyou suddenly said.

"Eh?"

"One is the [Tomb of the Sealed Evil God], and the other is the [Place Where the Nameless Goddess Was Sealed]."

"What is that? It sounds terrifying."

"I don't know either, but nothing extraordinary seemed to appear after the seal was broken."

"That's good."

Shichen remained silent. He knew about the two seals and had even encountered them before: Megumin's Doji and Wobak.

"Alright, let's go inside this underground hangar and take a look."

“We can’t go in at that time. We have to decipher the riddles written in ancient script that no one can understand now and input the correct solution,” Huihui said.

"Didn't I tell you I was here?" Shi Chen smiled slightly and led the way in.

Upon arriving at the entrance, Shi Chen saw the seal. Sure enough, it was a modern product—a touch panel with English letters, numbers, and something resembling the D-pad of a video game console.

Above the touch panel, there's a sentence written in neon: "[Small Command (KOMANI)]"

"Shichen, can you read this ancient script?" Huihui couldn't help but ask.

"I can understand it." Shi Chen nodded with a smile.

The so-called ancient script is the Japanese script, and the Xiaobing command is the very famous command code of Xiaobing, the famous game company in Japan.

"Shichen, you can actually read ancient characters? That's amazing!" Youyou couldn't help but praise.

"Shichen, hurry up and enter the password," Huihui urged anxiously.

"Wait a moment." Shi Chen entered the password.

The password was correct, and the door to the underground hangar opened.

"It actually opened! Amazing! Let's go in and take a look!" Huihui excitedly ran inside.

"Be careful, what if there's something dangerous?" Shi Chen warned before following him inside.

Aqua and the others followed them inside.

"It's so dark here."

"Can't see anything."

"Time of day".
