Chapter 406 I love watching goddesses fight
"——As expected, we must rely on quality to defeat our opponents."

"Zun Zun, what are you talking about without any clue?"

After seeing the second explosion magic causing severe damage to the outer wall, the team immediately decided to pack up and go home, not getting involved anymore, even if Darkness begged them to do so.

But at this time, Zun Zun said: "Why are you afraid? It's nothing serious, right?"

"That's because you are such a loser, Zun Zun!" Sato and Zhen An clenched their fists in anger, "If you had taken action, we would definitely not have escaped."

“Kazuma, you really trust me. Do you think I can defeat the Demon King’s Army General? I don’t want to.”

"Then go home."

Sato Kazuma doesn't care about anything. It's okay that he can use explosion magic, and he can use two shots a day. It's okay that he can use two shots, but he can also teleport. No one can beat him, so he decisively chooses to run away.

“Wait a minute, Kazuma! Are you planning on running away like a coward!?”

"Yes."

"Varied--!?"

Huihui never expected that he would simply admit that he was a coward, even though Sato Kazuma has always been synonymous with a devil, a scum, and a coward.

"Besides, how should we defeat that evil god?"

"Didn't I say it depends on quality?"

"So quality... huh? Wait a minute."

Sato Kazuma seemed to understand something and fell into deep thought.

Darkness said excitedly, “Why don’t you let me take it? It would be really cool if both explosion magics landed on me! That would be… awesome!”

“How can I ask you to fight?” Sato Kazuma rolled his eyes, but he smiled and said, “I know what to do.”

"Finally you understand?"

"You are too vague!"

It was obvious that he didn't listen to others before.

Aqua asked stupidly, "What does that mean?"

This idiot has always been a qualified supporting actor.

"Quality is more important than quantity, especially in this case." Zun Zun explained under the confused gaze of everyone, "Explosion magic consumes a lot of energy, and it is not a magic that can be used at will. Even if you use it twice a day, there is a long time interval."

Sato Kazuma then said: "And the enemy can only bombard the outer wall of the fortress."

"……What's the meaning?"

"It means that we have many opportunities to make mistakes, while the other side only has one chance."

He had a smirk on his face.

As long as they block them in advance and release explosion magic to attack the other party first, then everything will be fine. Even if they release explosion magic twice a day, it will only increase their chances of attacking the other party.

"But this plan has a big premise."

“That depends on whether Megumin’s explosion magic can defeat the opponent.”

This is also the reason why quality is more important than quantity. If the quality of your side is not as good as that of the opponent, then you will not be able to prevent the outer wall of the fortress from being destroyed.

"My explosion magic is the best in the world!"

Huihui shouted.

She seemed quite confident.

"Okay, then let's start formulating a strategy."

Then everyone started to formulate tactics.

First, Sato Kazuma uses the Lurk skill to hide nearby and ambush. If Wolbach doesn't find them, Huihui will use Explosion Magic to get rid of her.

If they are discovered, let Zun Zun go forward to delay time, and then the others retreat, while Huihui waits for the opportunity to use explosion magic.

No matter what, I have to give it a try this time.

So the next morning, Zun Zun and his party set out very early. In the large forest near the fortress, they found a military camp that was suspected to be the Demon King's army in the forest only a few kilometers away. They couldn't tell what kind of monsters there were, but they knew that there were a lot of people guarding the camp.

If that large army attacked the fortress, without solid outer walls and traps, it would surely be captured in no time.

"Also, I need to confirm one thing before we begin. I heard that Wolbach always casts explosion magic alone, so if you find someone else, don't hesitate to retreat immediately, okay?"

"understood."

Everyone nodded.

Even Huihui was not willful.

After all, there are only two explosion magics per day now. Since we are not sure whether the opponent has a Demon King's army cadre as powerful as Wolbach, we have to be conservative in everything.

"Okay, let's do it here."

This is the only way to the fortress, and the surrounding area is also suitable for hiding. Everyone hid their figures and reduced their breath to the lowest level.

I don't know how long I waited in the forest.

The rumored Demon King's Army cadre slowly approached. She was wearing a rather shabby robe that almost concealed the contours of her body, but it was still clear that she was a woman.

The hood was pulled down very low, and I was not sure if it was Wolbach. No, I should say I was not sure if it was the big sister I met at the relay station inn.

The black-robed person walked leisurely towards the castle. The reason why she walked so leisurely was probably because even if the people stationed in the fortress intended to attack and approached her, she could always use explosion magic to preempt them from a distance, and after releasing the magic, she could use teleportation to escape.

Just as Aqua was casting support magic for Darkness and Zunzun, and Huihui and Yunyun were chanting spells, the person in black robe stopped and looked straight at where everyone was hiding.

"——We've been discovered, let's begin!"

"Oh!"

According to the plan, the others had to retreat quickly, while Zun Zun went out to delay time, while Huihui and Youyou waited for the right opportunity to use explosive magic.

But for some reason, Sato Kazuma suddenly rushed out first and knocked the black-robed woman to the ground.

"Wait, wait! What are you doing! No, don't... let go, hey, let go! Don't grab my clothes, you are harassing me, you are harassing me!"

"……Eh?"

“Kazuma, you…”

Everyone was stunned, not knowing what to do with their companions' eager behavior, and the girls all had expressions of disgust on their faces.

"No, no, you misunderstood! I was just trying to confirm if she was Wolbach! She could be someone else after casting two explosion spells in one day, so I have to confirm it!"

"Yes, it's me, so let go!"

“It hurts—”

Familiar magic filled his whole body, and Sato Kazuma collapsed to the ground in darkness, just like he did in the relay station inn, but no one sympathized with him, not even his teammates.

“Hu…Hu…Hu…This is unbelievable. This is the second time. Is this guy always like this? How lucky is he that he wasn’t killed?”

“There’s absolutely no way to refute that.”

For some reason, the team felt a little sorry for the black-robed woman who was kneeling on the ground, panting in disbelief.

"Well, forget it."

She slowly stood up and lifted the hood on her head, revealing her face.

It was a big sister with short red hair and yellow eyes like a cat. Yes, the one standing there was the big sister that Tsun Tsun and Sato Kazuma met at the relay station inn.

"——What are you doing in a place like this?"

The one who shouted this was not Zun Zun or Sato Kazuma, but Youyou, with an expression of incredible shock on her face.

The same is true for Huihui.

The elder sister looked at everyone and said, "Come to think of it, I haven't introduced myself yet. I am one of the leaders of the Demon King's army, the goddess of laziness and tyranny, Wolbach."

No one responded.

"…It seems like you already knew about this."

After all, when they were in the hotel, Zun Zun told his companions about this matter, and they had always regarded Wobak as an imaginary enemy.

"Wait, wait a minute."

Sato Kazuma stood up with difficulty. Beside him was Aqua who was treating him. He looked at Wolbach and said, "I want to ask you something. You don't look like a bad person to me. Why did you become a cadre of the Demon King's Army?"

"You want to ask me why... At this time, it's customary to say this, right? - If you want to know, you have to defeat me first."

There was a hint of loneliness in Wobak's smile.

These were obviously lines typical of a villain, but she acted as if she had another hidden agenda, causing everyone to feel sad unconsciously.

Just when the atmosphere was brewing, Aqua broke the seriousness.

"I say, wait a minute before you get excited. It seems that you really have godhood, but what about the goddess of laziness and tyranny? Be careful of being accused of false advertising. When you report your name, you must say that you are an evil god."

“Evil God…?”

Perhaps because he did not expect that someone he met for the first time would speak ill of him, Wobak seemed a little confused, but he still gave an explanation.

"I am just in charge of bad emotions like laziness and tyranny. She is indeed a goddess, and the advertisement is not false."

“You’re lying! There are only two goddesses in this world, Eris and I! Apologize now! You actually said you were a goddess without permission and tarnished the noble name of the goddess. Apologize to me now!”

Aqua, who was usually not recognized as a goddess by her companions, made a big fuss this time.

“Wait, wait a minute. A long time ago, I was indeed a true goddess. However, after I joined the Demon King’s army, a group of weirdos from the Axis Cult arbitrarily identified me as an evil god. I had no choice but to call myself that.”

"Weirdo!? You actually called my lovely children weirdos!? By the way, where on earth did this little god Wobak come from? I've never even heard of his name."

"As a mortal, you actually look down on God. Even if they are gods from other sects, you should treat them with courtesy!"

“Mortal? How dare you call me a mortal? I am Aqua. Yes, I am the chief deity of the Axis Cult, the goddess of water! How dare a minor deity like you who has never even heard of my name protest against me? It is really beyond your tact!”

"...I'm telling you, pretending to be a goddess will be punished by God."

"Apologize to me! How dare you call me a fake? Apologize to me now!"

Even the evil god didn't believe that she was a goddess, which made Aqua furious and she pounced on Wolbach.

It was clearly their first meeting but they were fighting childishly, not to mention that they were both goddesses. They were not as noble and great as imagined.

But...

"Come on, Aqua! Come on, big sis!"

For some reason, Zun Zun seemed to be fanning the flames and cheering for the two of them. He said with an excited expression, "I love watching goddesses fight the most!"
