The legend of the Crimson Demon clan started from Suqing

#283 - Engagement exposed

After the battle ended, Sylvia's body was handed over to the Crimson Demons.

The village elders wanted to try separating the magician killer first, and then resealing it. Although Kazuma Sato was speechless and strongly condemned this, the Crimson Demons were a race that didn't listen to others.

But it's probably impossible to separate it now.

It was, after all, a chimera, and a high-ranking officer in the Demon King's army at that. Even if the time was short, it probably couldn't be separated.

To this end, the Crimson Demons also had corresponding preparations—to use the body of the chimera Sylvia as material to create armor that could deflect magic, and then seal the finished magic tool.

As the saying goes, get up from where you fall. This has always been the case for the Crimson Demons, who consider sealing extremely dangerous things.

After the battle, Yunyun became a hero in the village, her reputation reaching its peak. There were even voices suggesting that she should be supported to become the next chief.

Kazuma Sato was also sincerely happy for his companion and believed that this was what everyone wanted.

This should have been a time to enjoy the fruits of victory, and everyone should have been happy. But the previous sadness could not be erased. Rather, it was because someone had sacrificed themselves that victory could be achieved.

Kazuma Sato said with a sad expression, "Yunyun, about your sister…"

"—Yunyun!"

"Ah, it's Komekko!… Kazuma, what did you just say?"

"Huh!?"

He saw Yunyun greeting the number one beauty of the Crimson Demons who was running towards them, and didn't know what to say for a moment.

He turned his head.

"Aqua, did you use resurrection magic?"

"No. Besides, I've been with you all the time, where would I have the chance?"

"I guess so."

Kazuma Sato pointed at the lively Komekko and asked his companions in confusion.

"Didn't Yunyun's sister die…"

"Stop it, Kazuma. Even if you're my companion, I'll be angry if you curse my sister to die."

Yunyun was a little angry.

Kazuma Sato said that he was still very angry. He clearly saw Komekko die, and then Yunyun went berserk—a perfectly standard chuuni hot-blooded shonen manga development. How did things suddenly go wrong?

At this time, the village chief walked over with the Crimson Demons.

"Oh dear, I knew Yunyun would play this scene well."

"After all, she's the most outstanding Crimson Demon."

"But defeating Sylvia was the real deal. I still think Yunyun would be better as the next Crimson Demon chief. By the way, Chief, you should retire quickly."

Some Crimson Demons said this, and the other Crimson Demons agreed and laughed loudly.

Kazuma Sato asked foolishly:

"Was that just acting?"

"That's right."

"That desolate expression when the village was destroyed?"

"Acting."

"That so-called exclusive transformation form, Super Crimson Demon…"

"It's a setting."

What a scam!

The furious Kazuma Sato slammed the electromagnetic railgun on the ground. He had had enough of this group of chuunibyous who treated the entire village as a stage just to look cool.

Yunyun even told him that Crimson Demons would rather die than not be cool.

Of course, the Crimson Demons were also very enthusiastic about building stages for others. For example, this time, Komekko helped Yunyun build an excellent stage, allowing Yunyun to show off. In addition, Yunyun didn't know anything about the Super Crimson Demon that the village chief mentioned. After learning about it, she sighed that the old are always wiser.

—You really understand!

—I understand very well!

The two of them gave a thumbs up at the same time.

"Wait a minute." Kazuma Sato asked strangely, "But Yunyun, your appearance was really strange. Could it really be the so-called second form? Hey, what's going on with the Crimson Demons? Which is real and which is fake! I can't tell, I really can't tell!"

"Don't panic, don't panic."

Yunyun first comforted the agitated Kazuma Sato.

First of all, Super Crimson Demon was of course fake, just a setting. However, the earth-shattering tremors they felt and the magic power in the atmosphere being gathered were real.

"Didn't I say that the fairies can absorb magic power from the atmosphere, so you felt like the magic power was being drained? As for the change in hair color, that's an additional effect brought about by the materialization of magic power. But it's okay to say that's my second form."

"Which is it!?"

Kazuma Sato complained loudly.

He finally understood.

The Crimson Demons were all a group of hopeless chuunibyous!

In order to put on a grand stage play, they even allowed the village's forbidden weapon to be occupied—of course, he was to blame for that. But Kazuma Sato dared to guarantee that even the most famous actor in his previous life couldn't reach this level of performance.

—It was even an impromptu performance without a script!

They had a clear division of labor, each performing their duties, and even the protagonist was tacitly decided, keeping him, Darkness, Aqua, and the other outsiders in the dark.

"Just let the Demon King's army occupy this village, I'm serious."

Kazuma Sato covered his face and said in a muffled voice.

Sylvia's matter came to an end, and then it was post-disaster reconstruction. It is said that destruction is fun for a while, but post-disaster reconstruction is a crematorium. When Axel's city walls were destroyed by the mobile fortress Destroyer, they spent a whole month repairing them. As for the Crimson Demon Village…

"Three days."

"WTF!?"

Kazuma Sato's eyes widened.

He saw the Crimson Demons rebuilding the village at an astonishing speed.

The collapsed rubble had all been cleared away by magic, and building materials cut from rock formations had been temporarily turned into golems, walking towards the construction site on their own. Six-armed demons, seemingly summoned by summoning magic, each held woodworking tools in their hands, constantly repairing and building houses.

"What's going on? Why is the reconstruction so fast?"

"Hmph, hmph, surprised, right? There's no way around it, this is the Crimson Demons! We're the infrastructure maniacs of another world!"

Yunyun raised her head proudly.

Kazuma Sato originally felt guilty for accidentally letting Sylvia destroy the entire village, but he didn't expect that it would only take three days to completely restore it, even though it was almost completely destroyed. He sighed that if he had this group of infrastructure maniacs when he was working, how much money could he have earned?

For the next two days, they were still leisurely strolling around the village.

After Sylvia fell, the Demon King's army's claws were also swept away. Rather, after seeing their boss fall, they fled the Crimson Demon Village like birds and beasts.

Originally, these guys didn't want to come. It was only because the Crimson Demons and the Axis Church formed an alliance that the Demon King felt a strong sense of crisis and sent people to contain them.

However, the containment failed, and the subordinates also died.

It was truly a loss of both wife and soldiers.

During these two days, Aqua and Darkness ran to the construction site every day, not for anything else, but because Yunyun hired them as tourism development instructors for the Crimson Demons, asking them to help build scenic spots that could attract tourists.

At first, Aqua refused. She was lazy and unwilling to do these jobs, but after Yunyun hired her with a high salary—10 million Eris—she readily agreed.

Kazuma Sato kept wandering around the village.

He didn't know if he was stimulated by the cat-eared girl shrine, the mixed-bathing hot spring, and the succubus tavern. He ran to strange attractions every day, trying to get the owners of those shops to change their names. But these were long-established brands, and it was very difficult to change their names, so progress was not very smooth.

Yunyun stayed with Komekko.

…Ahem.

Although she was very interested in the 108 Crimson Demon warriors she mentioned, it wasn't suitable to study such things now.

Being with Komekko was to compile this event into the Crimson Demon Chronicles, so that future generations could know about it.

Originally, this kind of thing should be concise and serious to ensure the authenticity of the event, but the Crimson Demons' nature was that they would feel uncomfortable if they didn't exaggerate. So, under the constant embellishment of the two, Yunyun's deeds had become a story similar to an adventure tale.

Komekko decided to treasure it as a family heirloom and show it to future generations.

Honestly, it was a little embarrassing.

Yuiyui also felt embarrassed.

This Crimson Demon chieftain's daughter did not appear in the stage play of the Demon King's army's attack, so her cool self-introduction was unknown—not entirely.

Perhaps it was because Yuiyui was standing in a very conspicuous place at the time, some Crimson Demons still noticed her, and at the same time beautified her chuunibyou soliloquy into a battle declaration—not a real battle, but to help Yunyun attract firepower. Although the truth was not so, given that the two had that kind of relationship…

"Wait for me!"

Megumin slammed the table and stood up abruptly. Her eyes were red as she glared at everyone and shouted, "What is the relationship between Yunyun and Yuiyui! I've heard this sentence so many times, and I can't stand it anymore. Someone quickly explain it to me!"

Her tone was quite firm.

In fact, not only her, but Kazuma Sato and others were also very curious. As companions, they often heard this sentence, but they were too embarrassed to delve into it for some reason.

"That's right…"

A Crimson Demon sighed and said slowly, "That was a forbidden oath that my little girl signed seven years ago that was enough to change her life. It was clearly just a casual childish remark, but it had far-reaching effects, and until today, she has to face this heavy…"

"Enough! Speak human!"

"Oh, oh…"

He was startled by the impatient Megumin, who suspected that the other party was also a Crimson Demon. How could she be so angry?

"In short, my little girl Yuiyui had a marriage contract with Yunyun when she was seven years old. The parents of both parties knew about this and agreed. It just so happened that Sylvia's matter made Yunyun's voice to become the next chief very high, so they were thinking of taking this opportunity to get married. That's it."

"Yes, yes. After hearing about this, my parents also strongly supported the two getting married and said that they would definitely rush back on the wedding day."

Komekko said with a smile.

"Mar, marriage…!?"

Megumin suddenly looked at Yunyun, who was looking at her nose and minding her own business without making a statement. Her eyes revealed disbelief and anger, and then she turned and ran out of the room.

"Megumin! Wait a minute, Megumin!"

Yuiyui hurriedly chased after her.

Aqua, Darkness, and Kazuma Sato, who heard that Yuiyui and Yunyun had a marriage contract, were also stunned and completely dumbfounded by the series of changes in front of them.
