The Infinite Journey of a Certain Flame

You can also redeem goods.

The more technologically advanced or mysterious a product is, the more Herrscher Points it will cost.

Conversely, the more expensive it is, the cheaper it is, which seems to follow a very conventional principle of equivalent exchange.

"These clothes all look really good, but...aren't they a little too over-the-top?"

After briefly browsing the products the system retrieved from the vast online store, Kiana gave this reply.

It's not that she doesn't like pretty clothes, but they're too flashy, which is putting the cart before the horse.

They forgot that the purpose of changing their clothes was to blend into this world...

"System, why are all these costumes? Are there any combat suits?"

[Host is asking about combat suits?]

"correct."

[Wait a moment... The store currently offers a wide variety of combat suits. What are your needs, host?]

Is it really a sales assistant...?

Why are you speaking so politely now?

Kiana internally complained for a moment, then stroked her smooth chin and muttered:

"Hmm, it needs to look good, but also be ordinary enough not to look too strange. Ideally, it should also retain its combat capabilities, do you have one?"

[...Then I recommend the latest combat suit to the host - Time Gravel Chasing Light.]

As the system's voice faded, a projection of a brand-new combat suit appeared before Kiana's eyes.

Looking at the combat suit that almost perfectly matched her expectations, she couldn't help but reach out to touch it.

However, a projection is still just a projection; if you want to touch it...

The only way to get it is by spending a large amount of Herrscher Points...

With that in mind, Kiana focused her attention on the price list in the system shop.

You won't believe it until you see it, and what you find will shock you.

"Thirty thousand? System, isn't that price a bit too high?"

【No, host.】

"Can you offer a discount? How about 50% off like before?"

[The system has its limits, host. The discount is for special items used to redeem world travel; special items like this won't have this kind of discount.]

"Well!"

Okay, I've said a bit too much.

But this guy hasn't changed his ruthless nature at all.

"Thirty thousand... Oh well, Herrscher Points aren't that useful right now anyway, so let's use them for now?"

With this in mind, Kiana made the exchange without hesitation.

With the deduction of 30,000 Herrscher Points, a brand new combat suit appeared in the system's inventory.

After successfully obtaining her new clothes, Kiana looked around.

She realized that in the short time she had been chatting idly with the system, she had already left the city on foot and was wandering in the wilderness outside the city.

All around were trees and the chaos of war; the deserted path was overgrown with weeds, and just by looking at the atmosphere...

It makes people curious about how long they've been walking.

Why did I suddenly end up in such an unacceptably deserted place?

"I've wandered off without realizing it... well, maybe that's alright."

Since there was no one around, it would be convenient to change clothes.

However, don't get me wrong, Kiana usually chooses to take off her clothes and change, but that's always in a secluded indoor location.

Starting directly in the wild like this...

To be honest, she hasn't tried it yet, and she wouldn't want to try it.

Therefore, it is especially important to simply have the idea in your mind to let the system do the job for you.

"System, change outfit!"

【Yes, sir.】

With a response from the system, Kiana's standard battle suit was instantly replaced with a special battle suit, Time Gravel Chasing Light.

After successfully changing into the new outfit, Kiana looked at herself from left to right and thought the more she looked, the better she felt about the outfit.

"And its functions are almost the same as a combat suit, hmm... even though it's a bit pricey, it's still worth it? Hehe! After I put on this, those people won't find it strange anymore, right? Hmm, let's go!"

Feeling much more at ease, Kiana didn't hesitate and leaped into the air.

Then, it sped off at an extremely rapid speed toward its target location in the distance.

...

"Who is that idiot who comes to my house and performs magic for no reason?!"

In front of the starting village, a headless knight named Beldia, riding a tall horse, roared fiercely.

As a cadre of the Demon King's army, he was well aware of the identity he needed to play: a treacherous, cunning, vicious, and domineering little boss hiding behind the scenes.

Yes...that's right, that's how it should be.

Although to those seasoned adventurers who have already made a name for themselves, he is just a monster who requires a little effort.

But to these novices who haven't even really started their adventures yet, they are definitely remarkable high-ranking officers in the Demon King's army!

Hmph, a mere newbie, no fun at all.

Beldia originally had no intention of paying attention to these novice adventurers.

Firstly, it was unnecessary, and secondly, he felt that as a high-ranking official, it should be these weak people who come to him, right?

As a result, few fools actually came to their deaths.

The guy who throws an explosion spell at his base every day has finally arrived.

It's amazing that she comes every day!

"Who is it that's willing to come out and face their death? What kind of warrior hides in the back? Fight me fair and square!"

Beldia, enraged, flailed his fists so violently he nearly lost his head.

Opposite him were groups of novice adventurers, all on high alert.

"Hey, what's going on?!"

"Who knows? It seems like someone provoked this Demon King's military officer..."

"Who on earth is so bold? If we don't find them, will this official lead his men to destroy our newbie village...?"

The adventurers exchanged bewildered glances, and then unanimously focused their attention on the notorious troublemaker in this area.

"Hey, Kazuma! I have a feeling we've gotten ourselves into a huge mess, what should we do?!"

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, a petite girl dressed as a magician frantically tugged at her companion's clothes, pulling and dragging her in a panic.

His careless behavior naturally aroused extreme dissatisfaction among the parties involved.

"I understand. Let go of my hand, let go first!"

The transmigrator named Kazuma looked at his companion with a face full of annoyance, and for a moment the thought of handing her over directly had arose in his mind.

Huh? Why not just hand it over?

Anyway, it's all her fault!

Thinking of this, Kazuma suddenly stopped struggling, staring intently at Megumin with his almost greenish eyes...

A Certain Infernal Affairs in Another World (Konosuba): Chapter 5 is all? Demon King's Army Cadre?

Because her companions' gazes were so intense, Huihui, who was being stared at by everyone, suddenly realized something and quickly let go of their hands.

"Hey! You, you, you wouldn't be...?"

"Tsk, what?"

Kazuma crossed his arms and glanced at his companion with utter disdain.

The meaning behind his gaze seems self-evident.

After realizing that this unreliable companion was actually planning to hand her over like this, Huihui calmed down for a while and then lifted her leg.

'Boom! '

With a muffled thud, He Zhen's face twitched in pain.

"You bastard!"

"A little bit!"

After successfully teaching a lesson to her companion who had tried to hand her over, Huihui turned around without saying a word, hurriedly pushing through the crowd with her staff.

"Make way! Make way, don't block my way!"

"Wait! We can't let her get away!"

Clearly, after suffering a severe blow, Kazuma finally made up his mind.

Without much hesitation, he abruptly pointed at Huihui without saying a word:

"We absolutely cannot let her escape, otherwise the Headless Horseman will level this place!"

"what?"

Upon hearing this, many adventurers turned around and focused their attention on Huihui.

"Who is that idiot who comes to my house and performs magic for no reason?!"
