The legend of the Crimson Demon clan started from Suqing.

Chapter 186: Knowing clearly that there are tigers in the mountains, traveling to the tiger mountains instead

"Get up, get up quickly!"

The next morning, Aqua's noisy voice filled the entire mansion. She was like a primary school student who was about to go on a spring outing and was looking forward to the hot spring trip too much.

Under normal circumstances, he should be listless, but considering that Aqua is a goddess and has as much energy as a husky, he felt relieved.

Instead, Zun Zun, who had gone to bed early, covered his forehead with some worry.

“…I’m talking to Kazuma.”

"what happened?"

"Let's go to the Temple of Everlasting Summer instead."

"Hey! Didn't we agree to go to the hot springs? Why did you suddenly change your mind? Now that things have come to this, there is no chance to regret."

Sato Kazuma almost couldn't hold it anymore.

In fact, he was also a little uneasy in his heart. Such a confident Zun Zun was actually so resistant to the hot spring and water city. Maybe it was really dangerous there.

Come to the living room.

Aqua saw the two lazy people and shouted, "How long are you going to dawdle? Hurry up and get ready, it's time to leave!"

Alcanretia, the city of hot springs and water.

If you start from Axel, it seems that it only takes a day and a half to get there by carriage. If you take the first carriage in the morning, you only need to sleep in the wild for one night.

I originally planned to use the teleportation array, but...

“Zun Zun, do you have any concept of thriftiness? The teleportation fee for one person is 30 Eris, and for six people it’s nearly 200 Eris. How much bubble wine can we drink? Besides, we are adventurers, so we should enjoy the journey!”

“…Are you really Aqua? Hey, have you been replaced by someone else? Let me see who’s hiding under your clothes!”

"Don't, don't pull my ribbon! This is my goddess symbol! Let go, let go now!"

Zun Zun didn't believe that the person who said that it was Aqua who saved money was him. If it was Sato Kazuma, he could understand it, but this stupid goddess...

"With so much money, we can stay in Alcanretia for a while, right?"

So that's how it is. I knew something was wrong.

She must have felt that the travel expenses were not worth it, and that it would be better to enjoy the trip for a while longer than to go quickly.

Moreover, the teleportation magic in this world is usually used only in an emergency. Otherwise, even the nobles would not use it recklessly.

Zun Zun is learning teleportation magic.

But unfortunately, if you want to use the teleportation magic, you need to have been to the corresponding place and left the coordinates there. There can only be three coordinates before it can be used.

Although he had been there before, he did not leave any coordinates, so he could not use teleportation magic.

But it can be used when I come back.

"By the way, you two go wake up the others first. I have something to do."

After saying this, Sato Kazuma walked out of the mansion carrying his travel luggage.

Aqua and Zun Zun looked at each other.

"Your Excellency, I..."

"It's a carriage for traveling, right? I'll go wake up the three of them, Aqua, and you go and reserve the carriage. Also, please order two carriages, since there are six of us."

"Okay, I know!"

She also ran out in a hurry.

Zun Zun shook his head helplessly. This silly goddess was always so energetic, which was quite a headache.

Then we came to the second floor of the mansion.

“Are you awake, Huihui? We’re leaving soon. How long are you planning to sleep…”

Before I could knock on the door, I heard a voice coming from inside.

"Hui, Huihui, be gentle, please be gentle, this is my first time, and I have always wanted to leave such a precious thing to my master, so, so..."

"Don't worry Youyou, I'll be gentle, leave everything to me."

"But, but I'm scared..."

"Leave it all to me!"

“It hurts so much! Didn’t I tell you to be gentler, you idiot Huihui?”

Although Zun Zun has always known that he is an outsider, how can he accept that his fiancée is taken away by someone else, even if the other party is also a girl and is his childhood sweetheart!
"What the hell are you two doing...!"

Thrust the door open.

What came into view was not a beautiful scene. Two people were sitting in the room, neatly dressed, and between them was a travel package.

Huihui was holding something that looked like a rag doll in her hand, and was stuffing it into the package rudely.

"...What are you doing?"

"It was Youyou who insisted on taking this doll. I told her not to take it, but she said it was her first time traveling with her friends and she wanted to give you the doll she made by herself. I'm so angry!"

She pulled the doll's head with an unhappy look on her face.

“Let go, let go!” Youyou quickly grabbed it and yelled, “I told Huihui to be gentler, why did you have to use so much force? You broke it! And didn’t I tell you to keep it a secret?”

Only then did Zun Zun see clearly.

Should we say that the rag doll that the two people are fighting over is novel or abstract? In any case, although it has the shape of a doll, its appearance is completely unrecognizable.

"long?"

"Because Zun Zun's birthday is coming soon, so I want to prepare a birthday present for you, but we are going on a trip, and it's almost finished, so I was thinking of bringing it to Alcanretia..." Where is the almost finished part?
I only did a little bit.

But this is Youyou's intention, so Zun Zun won't say anything excessive.

"Youyou, I appreciate your kindness, but this time we are going out for fun, and I hope you can enjoy it to the fullest. As for this doll, let's work on it together when we get back, okay?"

"Yes! I'd love to!"

Youyou was extremely happy.

Huihui pouted in dissatisfaction.

If the situation wasn't wrong, she might have blown it up with explosion magic.

At this moment, the door of the next room suddenly opened, hurried footsteps were heard, and before they could react, Darkness appeared in front of them.

She was wearing a thin, messy nightgown that showed off her beautiful, voluptuous figure.

"Darkness?"

"Y-you three said you wanted to make a baby!?"

"……what?"

"No, I didn't expect that you three would have such a messed up relationship! Are you planning to take advantage of the time when we are traveling and enjoying the hot springs to do all sorts of messed up things behind our backs and enjoy the inexplicable sense of sin!? Isn't this 3, 3... 3..."

"Okay! That's it!"

Zun Zun didn't let her pronounce the letter.

This panting, seemingly perverted female knight is often selectively deaf and always makes shocking remarks in such places. Didn't you see Huihui and Youyou both lowered their heads in embarrassment?

……Um?

Is there something wrong?
Zun Zun looked at the little Loli with blushing cheeks who kept stealing glances at his tablet.

eh?

Is this...

“Alright, alright! Darkness, it’s getting late, let’s get going!”

“Oh, oh…! Don’t, don’t push me, Huihui! I can walk by myself. Do you want to help me change my clothes? Even though I’m a young lady, I won’t…!”

Megumin quickly changed the subject and pushed Darkness away.

----

When everything was ready, they arrived at the station, where Aqua waved at them, and behind her was a nice carriage.

As adventurers, they can actually choose to be employed by the caravan as guards, but the work of guard is very hard, and neither Zun Zun nor Sato Kazuma are willing to do it.

In addition, since this time they were going on a trip, everyone unanimously decided to pay the fare like ordinary people and act as ordinary passengers.

Youyou looked at the carriage with some confusion.

"My Lord, is it really okay to go to Alcanretia? You know, that's the headquarters of the Axis Cult. Plus, something like that happened there before, so I think it's better not to go."

"...Wait, Youyou, it sounds like you're saying it's my fault."

“It’s all Huihui’s fault!”

"What did you say!?"

Huihui refused to admit her mistake.

Maybe she felt that what she taught could not change the current situation of the Axis Church, but she really miscalculated this time.

"What are you talking about? Is it about Alcanretia? Don't worry, it's a very good place. It will definitely surprise you!"

Hearing what Aqua said, Zun Zun covered his face in pain.

He didn't want to go either.

However, considering that there are Demon King's army cadres there, and the prophecy that has trapped my sister, it would be a bit unreasonable not to resolve it.

Darkness was lost in her memories.

“Leaving this town to travel? It’s been like this since my father took me to the capital to attend the birthday celebration of the princess of this kingdom when I was a child. At that time… eh? What’s wrong, Kazuma? Why are you holding my hand? Ohhhh————?”

At some point, Sato Kazuma came back, along with Wiz on his back.

However, at this time, Wiz's whole body was charred like a piece of charcoal, and in order to save her, Sato Kazuma absorbed Darkness's physical strength through his skills.

When Wiz woke up, she looked confused, and it seemed that she didn't know why she was here. But when everyone told her to go to the hot spring together, she happily said that they must take her along.

Thanks to Zun Zun for saying that.

Aqua ordered two carriages.

The three Red Demons sat together, along with a small cage, which contained a lizard - a lizard with red eyes, about the size of a cat, with a rather ferocious-looking light flashing in its eyes.

It is the cub of a red dragon.

Huihui seemed to be very interested in the red dragon cub, so she sat here.

Of course, the same goes for Zun Zun.

After all, red dragon is a very rare material. Whether it is horns, teeth, tails, nails, hearts, etc., they can all be made into very popular advanced potions.

Zun Zun's eyes, as if he was examining something, seemed to irritate the red dragon cub, and it kept roaring at him. However, when the cherry bomb - Zun Zun's emergency food - slipped in through the gap in the cage and beat it up, it became obedient.

that's it.

On a relatively calm morning, they set out on the road to Alcanretia, the city of hot springs and water.
