The legend of the Crimson Demon clan started from Suqing.

Chapter 404: Brushing Face
"——That's right. Last night in the hot spring, we encountered the evil god Wolbach, a cadre of the Demon King's army."

"Eh hey hey!?" X4
The day after meeting Wobak, Zun Zun told the team about this incident while they were having breakfast in the hotel.

It was so shocking that Aqua and the others couldn't accept it at all.

“Sure enough, was there any danger last night?” Darkness looked at Sato Kazuma with concern. “From the screams yesterday, Kazuma must have been attacked, right?”

"That was Kazuma trying to take advantage of you, so you deserved it."

"Hey, Zun Zun!"

Sato Kazuma yelled.

He tried desperately to explain that it was not like that. He just guessed the other party's identity as a cadre of the Demon King's Army and did not want him to escape, so he held on to him.

However, due to this guy's previous weird and outrageous behavior, he did not receive any recognition from the female teammates.

"But one thing is certain."

"what's up?"

"That Wolbach is the true evil god, and also a powerful cadre of the Demon King's army."

Everyone looked solemn.

After all, none of the Demon King's army cadres in the past were simple people. Even Wiz, who seemed weak on the surface, was actually very powerful. The pure fighting witches in the past were no joke.

"So, I have a proposal." Sato Kazuma raised his hand and said, "Is there anyone who wants to go back to Axel with me?"

"Hey————!"
Ultimately, no one except himself was going to quit halfway.

Darkness wanted to contribute because she is a noble, Megumin and Yunyun wanted to make up for the mistakes they made in the past, and even Aqua wanted to teach Wolbach a lesson because he called himself an evil god.

Therefore, Sato Kazuma had no choice but to follow everyone.

In fact, he also reacted.

After all, Zun Zun said on the surface that he would not help, but if the team is in danger, he will eventually help, right? So there will be no danger this time anyway.

Knowing that there were indeed Demon King Army cadres on the front line, although they did not react on the surface, they were still a little frightened by the gradually slowing down of their movements.

But there wasn't much distance left.

As the sky began to darken, the team finally arrived at their destination.

“So—big—!”

Sato Kazuma couldn't help but exclaim.

Now they all looked up at the fortress, which was about the same size as the royal city. As expected of a battlefield maintaining the front line, the outer wall of the fortress looked quite solid, and it would not be easy to destroy it.

It is said that there are about 1000 people living in the fortress. The huge area and towering buildings are enough to give off an overwhelming presence just by sitting there.

“Is this fortress really about to be conquered by the evil god? Um… Kazuma, I’m suddenly a little scared. Why don’t we go back?”

"What kind of stupid things are you talking about now?"

Sato Kazuma rolled his eyes at Aqua in annoyance.

The fact that one person could destroy such a towering fortress clearly shows how powerful the evil god Wolbach is. At the same time, Sato Kazuma was glad that he was not blasted to pieces by the other party last night.

"——The adventurer in front!"

As the group stopped to look at the fortress, several knights emerged from inside.

One of the knights walked over while being wary of the people who appeared in such a place.

"This is a fortress used to resist the Demon King's army. What are you doing here?"

While asking, he placed his hand on the sword at his waist, ready to attack at any time.

Zun Zun said: "We are adventurers who came here to support the world because we knew it was in crisis. Most of us are high-level professionals and should be able to be of use."

"Support? And it's a high-level job?"

The knight's face lit up with joy.

After all, I heard that many powerful adventurers retreated to the royal city because the fortress was lost. It would be a great help if there were more helpers.

"Thank you very much. However, I would like to ask you to show me something that can prove your identity first, because the Demon King's army leaders may be lurking nearby. I hope you will cooperate."

"of course."

Zun Zun said nothing and conjured up his adventurer card through magic.

The knight's eyes lit up.

He wanted to ask how it was done, but his excellent professional ethics made him shut up and check the adventurer card in his hand -

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty!?"

His eyes widened suddenly.

The loud shout attracted the attention of the man behind him who looked like the captain, and he walked forward quickly.

"what happened?"

"Captain, look at this!"

"...Your Majesty!?"

Same shocked reaction.

"No, I didn't expect that it would be the Venerable Master who would come. Thank you so much!"

"You...seem to know me?"

"Of course!"

The knight and the captain of the knights had smiles on their faces, not flattering smiles or fawning smiles, but expressions of great admiration.

It turned out that these two people had appeared in the battle to defend the royal capital, and they were naturally aware of the scene where Zun Zun displayed his divine power, so they were the same as now.

"but……"

"But what?"

"Lady Claire said that you have improper thoughts about Her Highness Alice, so she asked us to be on guard against you. But this must be a joke. After all, you and Her Highness Alice are both equally beautiful. How could it be possible...right?"

——Fuck me!

"Wait, wait! Forget it, Zun Zun, forget it!"

Sato Kazuma quickly held down Zun Zun who wanted to take off his pants. After all, if he took off his pants here, he might be regarded as a pervert. With Zun Zun as a guarantee, Sato Kazuma and others successfully entered the fortress.

Everyone was assigned their own room.

Perhaps because the situation on the front lines was urgent and most adventurers had returned to the capital, there were many vacant rooms here.

Zun Zun was assigned to a captain-level room.

The previous captain had to return to the capital for treatment due to his injury, so this room was vacant.

This is the benefit of face scanning.

Sato Kazuma wanted to grab the room, but was stopped by the knights.

After dropping off our bags, we started exploring the fort.

Same as the game.

When you come to a new map, how can you not explore it as much as possible?
You just need to be careful not to enter other people's rooms at will. Taking potions and items here does not count as taking, but theft, and you will be sentenced.

Perhaps because the battle situation was really not ideal, the adventurers and soldiers walking in the corridor all had serious expressions and looked quite tense.

There was a vague atmosphere of tension in the fortress.

In such a tense atmosphere, a roar suddenly came from a room in front with a sign saying "Control Room".

"——I told you not to press it, don't you understand? Get out of here!"

Then the two were kicked out of the room.

"What? I just pushed a few buttons. Why are you so angry?"

"That's right. We were kicked out again. People here are too nervous."

Well, these two idiots are way too relaxed.

“Kazuma, Aqua, what are you two doing?”

Zun Zun greeted the two idiots.

"Hey, Zun-zun." Sato Kazuma looked at the room behind him and complained, "Actually, we were bored, so we ran out to hang out. Just now, it seems that we pressed the switch to open the door of the fortress, and then we were kicked out. Don't you think it's too much?"

"You are the ones who are going too far."

Zun Zun rolled his eyes.

Breaking into the control room or something like that would be fine, but they also randomly pressed switches. These were clearly recorded in the book "100 Things You Should Never Do" by the Crimson Demons, but these two guys were not afraid at all.

In addition, the word "又" is used very well.

This showed that the two of them had repeated this kind of thing many times. To be honest, it was good enough that they were not treated as spies of the Demon King's army and were not kicked out.

"Ahh, so boring."

Sato Kazuma seemed to be unable to bear the depressing atmosphere here.

After thinking about it for a while, he then suggested: "There's no other way. It seems there is a restaurant here that can be used for free. Let's go there and eat and drink for free."

"What a great idea!" Aqua's eyes lit up and she said, "I'll go back and get the bubble wine in my luggage and bring it over to drink!"

I was wondering what this guy put in his backpack to make it so bulging.

It turned out to be bubble wine.

No wonder she seemed very reluctant to be placed in the different space.

Just at this time.

"Aqua-sama? Isn't this Aqua-sama! And Zun-zun, you are here too!"

A familiar voice came from the other end of the corridor.

And this familiar man...

"Isn't this Yu Jian? Long time no see!"

"It's Yu Jian! You didn't call me by the wrong name on purpose! By the way, it's about time you remembered my name!"

The person who appeared in front of the three people was Yu Jian Xiangye.

"Lady Aqua, long time no see! You still look so energetic! And Zun Zun, how have you been recently?"

"Oh, not bad."

"Me too."

Aqua and Zun Zun greeted him casually.

Sato Kazuma looked at Mitsurugi Hibiki who was alone and asked, "By the way, where are your harem? Where did they go?"

"Harem? No, that's not it!"

Mitsurugi Hibiki explained in a panic.

"Because the battle situation was bad, I asked them to retreat to the capital... Oh, right! Sato, why did you bring Aqua-sama and Zun-zun to such a dangerous place? Don't you know it's dangerous here?"

"I know. But I heard that the other party is an evil god, so I thought that as a god, I should take action to deal with the evil god, so I came here."

Aqua answered him, saying so as a matter of course.

Mitsurugi Hibiki said anxiously: "Aqua-sama wants to fight her? But, the other party is very dangerous. She is only one person but she can force us into danger!"

“Hey, hey, hey, you are still the third-ranked adventurer in the kingdom. Even if it is the evil god or the general of the Demon King’s army, they won’t force you into such a desperate situation, right?”

“That’s because—!”

Just as Yui Miken was about to explain something, there was a loud noise and the whole fortress shook violently. Aqua and Sato Kazuma were trembling while holding Zun Zun.

"What, what's wrong?"

"earthquake!?"

The violent shaking sensation quickly passed, but that was not the problem.

“What is this familiar vibration…!?”

"That's right. The evil god Wolbach, a general of the Demon King's army, can use explosion magic."

Mitsurugi Hibiki gave a wry smile.
