The legend of the Crimson Demon clan started from Suqing.

Chapter 189: Alliance against the Demon King's Army
There is no such thing as a peaceful life in the world. It's just that someone is carrying the burden for you.

This sentence is most appropriate for Zun Zun.

Last night the caravan was besieged by undead zombies. Although they were easily defeated in the end by Aqua, whose real identity is a goddess, they were still very tired after the night's tossing and turning. They were afraid of being attacked again and dared not fall asleep.

When Sato Kazuma saw the three of them, Zun Zun, sleeping soundly in each other's arms in the carriage, he felt unhappy.

"I say Zun Zun."

"what happened?"

"You slept very comfortably yesterday, didn't you? We were all scared outside, but you slept so soundly. I have to wonder if you foresaw this and chose to escape first."

“…What are you talking about, Kazuma? I don’t understand.”

"Hey, this can't be true! Why don't you dare look at me when you talk!?"

Zun Zun turned his head away and didn't look at him.

Sato Kazuma's intuition is a little too sharp. Besides, Zun Zun didn't reveal anything, so how could he guess it?
“Kazuma, you are really something. We are partners. How could you do such a thing? You underestimate me too much.”

"Haha, it's because I know your nature of not helping others in need that I'm so suspicious!"

“I’m sorry, Kazuma. Next time I’ll…”

"No, I'm not blaming you. I just want to ask you to take me with you when we are in danger next time."

"Hey……"

This guy is also a complete scumbag.

As the carriage swayed along, they finally arrived at their destination, Alcanretia, the city of hot springs and water.

"Then please feel free to do as you please. I hope you can have a great time in this hot spring town! Oh, you really helped a lot, thank you so much!"

The leader of the caravan bowed to them several times before leaving. Even though they explained the situation to him and said that the cause of the monster attack might be them, he still didn't take it seriously and thought it was a joke.

Not only that, he even thought that this was a made-up excuse because they didn't want to accept any compensation, and he beautified their impression of Zun Zun and others.

Honestly, this is also a torture.

Sato Kazuma's face was full of confusion.

In addition to Zun Zun and his friends, there were many other passengers and adventurers getting off here. These people should be coming to the hot springs to recuperate or travel.

Huihui looked at the carriage going away and muttered to herself.

"Charlie Bao, Charlie Bao..."

This was the name she gave to the red dragon cub on the carriage. Because Zun Zun and the others had helped the caravan a lot, the owner of the red dragon cub hoped that they could help choose a nice name for it.

But how should we describe the naming talent of the Crimson Demons...

The word "horrific" is no longer enough to describe it.

Finally, she chose the most unexpected name among Youyou's Little Red, Zunzun's backup hidden material library, and Huihui's Charlie Bao. And she ignored the dissuasion and wrote the name on a piece of paper and posted it on the cage, expressing her earnest hope that the red dragon cub would be loved.

...I wonder if the owner will disassemble it into its components in a fit of rage. If so, Zun Zun hopes to pay to buy some of its parts.

Kazuma is carrying Wiz on his back.

Because the stupid goddess went crazy last night, the Lich Girl, who was almost purified by the divine power, was so weak that she couldn't get up at all.

I have to say that she is as thick-skinned as Darkness to some extent.

"We're here! The city of hot springs and water, Alcanretia!"

Aqua screamed with excitement.

This is the second time that Zun Zun and his friends have come here, but it must be said that the scenery here is unique and makes people subconsciously relax.

This town, which is close to a clear lake and a mountain with hot springs, is full of canals. When I think back to the last time I came here, the canals were filled with grape-flavored agar slime, which was a disaster.

The buildings around the town are all blue, the streetscape is very beautiful, and the pedestrians on the road are full of energy. Moreover, the races walking on the street are quite diverse.

Elves, orcs, humans.

In this world where the Demon King's army is rampant, this place is as stable as Axel. It can only be said that the Axis believers made an indelible contribution to this.

The moment they set foot in the town.

A large crowd gathered around.

“Welcome to Alcanretia! Are you here for sightseeing? To join the church? To go on an adventure? Or to be baptized? Oh, and if you’re looking for a job, please come to the Axis Cult…!”

There was no time to interrupt.

This group of Axis believers gathered around and talked at once, which made people feel overwhelmed.

"What beautiful, shiny aqua blue hair! Is it natural? I'm so envious! I'm so envious! That streamer looks very Aqua-esque, too. It suits you so well!"

The most eye-catching one among them is Aqua, who has the same aqua blue long hair and ribbons as the goddess of water.

……and many more.

Is there something wrong?
Apart from her, the next most popular ones are Zun Zun, Hui Hui and You You.

“Those red eyes are so beautiful! And those smooth black hair are so touching! Wait, are you from the Crimson Demon Clan? Red eyes and black hair definitely mean you’re from the Crimson Demon Clan! You’re a tourist from the Crimson Demon Village! To be honest, the Axis Church has now formed a strategic partnership with the Crimson Demon Clan to fight against the Demon King’s Army! We’re honored to have you here!” “What did you say…!?”

A dark-skinned female believer said this with great enthusiasm, leaving Zun Zun stunned on the spot as if struck by lightning.

Crimson Demons + Axis Cult

It is not known which of the two has greater destructive power, but Zun Zun knows that the Demon King's army is bound to be in trouble.

Pulling her arm to the side.

“My dear sister, I am very curious about the alliance between the Crimson Demons and the Axis Cult. Can you tell me more about it?”

"Eh, don't you know?"

"what do you know?"

"I heard from Lord Zesta that he and a certain important person from the Crimson Demon Clan reached a consensus and formed an alliance together. He even decided that the Crimson Demon Clan's visitors can come and play for free. So, this distinguished guest from the Crimson Demon Clan, please enjoy yourself!"

That old Deng who can do everything!

Zun Zun had to suspect that the other party was taking the opportunity to use him to establish connections with the Qianqiao clan and deliberately establish a relationship with the Red Demon Clan.

What is the Alliance against the Demon King's Army?!
This weird name sounds like a very unreliable organization!

“Hey, Zun-zun.” At this time, Sato Kazuma came over and whispered, “Did you know that this is the headquarters of the Akusis Cult!…Wait, that expression doesn’t mean that you already knew it? Then why didn’t you stop me from coming!”

"I stopped you, but you insisted on coming!"

"What……!"

Thinking about it carefully, it seems that this is really the case.

The two Crimson Demons, Huihui and Youyou, were also surrounded by other Axis believers, who kept praising their looks, making them so shy that they didn’t know what to do.

Aqua, on the other hand, was enjoying the praise from the Axis believers to the point of being carried away by pride.

Seeing this, Sato Kazuma said quickly, “I’m sorry, we already have a priest from the Axis Cult on our team, and there are also three great magicians from the Crimson Demon Clan. We’re here for sightseeing today, so we’ll take our leave first…”

"So that's how it is! Goodbye comrade, have a nice day!"

The Akusis believers greeted the three Zun Zun with a smile on their faces, and then let them go.

“Great, great…!”

Hui Hui giggled and said, "Zun Zun, let's move here in the future. The people here are all talented and speak nicely. I like it here very much."

It's broken, but it makes her feel good.

I thought that when Huihui came again, she would suffer the consequences of her previous bad ideas, but I never expected that because of Zunzun's relationship, the Axis Church and the Crimson Demon Clan formed an alliance, and she suddenly became a guest of honor.

Where is the reasoning here?

Aqua, who seemed to have returned home at this time, said happily: "You guys go to the hotel first. I want to go to the church headquarters as the high priest of Axis Church to play around and let everyone flatter me."

Huihui followed suit and said, “And me, I want to be praised in this town as a Crimson Demon too!”

The two of them said such disturbing things.

Youyou was afraid that something bad might happen, so she planned to go with them so that she could take care of them if anything bad happened.

Zun Zun had no choice but to follow.

So Sato Kazuma, Darkness, and the dying Wiz went to the hot spring hotel to check in first.

Aqua, who was on her way to the church headquarters, separated from Megumin, who was planning to stroll around the town. They had no choice but to follow the stupid goddess Youyou and Zunzun followed Megumin.

How can I say this along the way...

The Crimson Demons were particularly popular in this embarrassing town, and this was not an empty talk. Just the two of them walking down this street were welcomed by many Axis believers, and almost all the stall owners would take the initiative to give them things.

Soap, soap, soap, skewers, soap, soap, soap, hot spring buns, soap, soap, soap, soap...

Hey, there are so many edible soaps!
Besides, what idiot would eat soap?
"Ah! Mm, this is delicious, Zun Zun, you should try it too!"

Seeing Huihui taking a bite of the soap, Zun Zun also took a bite after a brief hesitation.

...and it tastes unexpectedly good?

Just as the two were strolling leisurely in the town, suddenly a little girl staggered out from the alley and fell in front of them.

Could this be...

Seeing this, Hui Hui ran over and helped her up, and asked with concern: "Are you okay, little sister!"

"It's okay, thank you, big sister!"

The little girl gave the two of them a shy smile.

"Big sister, what's your name?"

"My name is Hui Hui, next to me is Zun Zun."

“Hui Hui? Zun Zun? How do you want to write it? Big sister, write it for me!”

But when she saw the piece of paper she handed over, with "Application for Membership in the Axis Cult" clearly written on it, even Huihui froze.
