The legend of the Crimson Demon clan started from Suqing.

Chapter 478 Not Everyone Can Fight Aqua
“Hey Kazuma, is this really a date?” Aqua couldn’t help but whisper, “Could it be that this is actually a dating method unique to the Crimson Demons? If not, it’s hard to explain such a stupid interaction.”

"Don't say that's stupid... although I thought so too."

Sato Kazuma curled the corners of his mouth.

In his imagination, shouldn't a date be one where they agree on a place to meet early in the morning, and then the boy compliments the girl on her beautiful appearance, and then go to an amusement park, an aquarium, the beach, or a shopping street, etc., to cultivate feelings through many intimate interactions?
It’s best to confess to each other at the beach in the evening, and then have a more intimate interaction at night…

Or is he wrong?
After all, all of the above is the knowledge he gained from the game.

Well known.

Games are games, reality is reality.

Anyone who seeks a sense of reality in fictional stories must have something wrong with their brains. Similarly, anyone who seeks fictional feelings in the real world also has something wrong with their brains.

Looking at the two people who kept arguing about who was more powerful, Sato Kazuma couldn't understand but was greatly shocked.

"This should be a date unique to the Crimson Demons."

"——No!" X2
As soon as he finished speaking, he was rejected by two people in unison.

"Huh!?"

"It's bad Kazuma! It seems we've been discovered!"

“Don’t panic, Aqua. I’ve already used my two skills, Lurk and Conceal. Logically, they shouldn’t be able to find me.”

The two people who were peeping in the bushes were panicked.

Zun Zun looked at the swaying bushes and couldn't help rolling his eyes at the two idiots who were deceiving themselves. He said, "I really didn't notice Kazuma at first, but Aqua is too obvious. Come out quickly."

"Obviously, am I exposed somewhere?"

"The sound of swallowing saliva."

"————!?"

Aqua was stunned.

The smell of grilled fish was so delicious that it made people salivate. In fact, it was not only her, but also Satou Kazuma who was the same. However, compared to Satou Kazuma who consciously hid his voice, the unrestrained Aqua kept swallowing her saliva.

"You're not coming out? If you don't, I'll throw away these grilled fish. I'll throw them away!"

"Aww!"

When Zun Zun threw the grilled fish over the bushes and obviously missed it, the blue figure jumped up and caught the grilled fish in its mouth like a vicious dog.

Seeing that he had been exposed, Sato Kazuma had no choice but to walk out of the bushes, an awkward smile instantly appearing on his face.

"Oh, the weather is so nice today! What a coincidence, are you two here to do the quest, too, Zun Zun and Hui Hui? Actually, the guild said that the lake here has become turbid again due to a landslide, so I brought Aqua here."

He gave himself a thumbs up for his quick thinking.

Zun Zun looked at Sato Kazuma who was trying hard to find excuses with amusement, but he did not expose him, and even said openly: "No, we are here for a date."

"Well!"

This straight shot left Sato Kazuma speechless.

“Delicious!” Aqua chewed the grilled fish in big mouthfuls and exclaimed, “This grilled fish is so delicious! How did Zun Zun make it? I didn’t even see him add any seasonings. His cooking skills are comparable to those of the chef gods in heaven!”

"That's too much, Aqua. Eat slowly. There's more here."

“Thank you, Huihui! That guy Kazuma thought you would do something inappropriate with Zun Zun, so he forced me to follow him and even killed the precious game characters. You better scold him more!”

Can't you keep your mouth shut even when eating?!

Sato Kazuma didn't expect that he would be betrayed in the blink of an eye. He secretly said to himself that he must train Schneider No. 3 to death when he returned, and then showed an extremely embarrassed expression to Zun Zun.

"Forget it, let's eat grilled fish."

"……Thanks."

After taking the grilled fish handed to him by Zun Zun, Sato Kazuma said "I'm starting to eat" and showed the same greedy expression as Aqua.

When the truth was exposed, he acted like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water and asked them if they were really dating.

There is nothing to deny. The relationship between Zun Zun and Hui Hui was confirmed when they went to the Crimson Devil's Village, and their companions were also aware of it.

"But as you can see, whether it's the influence of the blood of the Crimson Demon Clan or my youth, the way of dating has become so distorted."

"I think the interaction just now was really stupid. What was that? An Explosion Magic Reviewer?"

"…That's a really spicy statement."

Because of Zun Zun's intervention, the identity of Megumin's Explosion Magic Reviewer fell on him. In addition, Yunyun joined the team from the beginning, and with the help of Darkness and Aqua, the possibility of Megumin and Sato Kazuma contacting each other was cut off from the beginning.

He knew that Huihui would come here every day to cast explosion magic, but he never expected that she would do it in such a weird way, and even the date was distorted.

"There's no other way. Let Aqua and I help! Oh yeah! Double date! Can't Aqua and I help?"

Sato Kazuma said this suddenly.

Zun Zun looked at him suspiciously, his eyes full of distrust, which made him feel insulted.

“Hey, don’t look at me like this. I’ve conquered childhood sweethearts, elementary school classmates, deskmates, seniors, student council presidents, teachers, young ladies, maids, and assassins. Others call me the Conqueror Kazuma!”

“…Is it a game?”

"What does it matter? Trust me, dating is easy!"

"But your childhood sweetheart got on someone else's bicycle?"

This sentence made Sato Kazuma silent. He could have used the excuse that he only started to dig deeper into the game after his childhood sweetheart was stolen away, but the destructive power hidden in Zun Zun's words was too strong, leaving him powerless to refute.

Zun Zun has great distrust towards Sato Kazuma.

If there is someone who can use strategies to conquer girls after playing games for a long time and successfully replicate it, I believe there is only one person, and that is the God of Strategy. All others are fakes.

“Besides, if you and Aqua come to help me, then Kazuma you will have to form a team with Aqua. Is that okay?”

"This is a bit..."

Sato Kazuma looked at the stupid goddess who was eating grilled fish foolishly with an embarrassed look on his face.

But he fell silent for a long time.

“Hey, Kazuma…”

Just when Zun Zun thought that Sato Kazuma would say, "Aqua is not a bad idea too," he shook his head decisively.

"No, no, no, forget about that idiot."

Obviously, not everyone can rush that guy.

Then, with Sato Kazuma's strong opposition, the double date was forcibly changed to a family gathering. I don't understand what this guy is here for.

And after the family gathering.

After eating and drinking, the four people returned to Axel. When they arrived at the city gate, they were stopped by the uncle guarding the gate.

"Hey, are you adventurers?"

"……Yes?"

"There was an emergency call just now. You can go to the Adventurer's Guild and take a look. Maybe there is something urgent that needs to be called upon."

Hearing him say this, the four of them looked at each other.

They didn't notice anything unusual on the way back, and there was no sign of monsters attacking the city or the Demon King's army cadres attacking.

However, the Adventurer's Guild is the center of this town. It is a fortress of refuge for adventurers and the most trustworthy place.

Besides, if there is any problem, Darkness will definitely go there.

So he obediently came to the guild to gather.

However, in front of the Adventurer's Guild, the older sister guild employee who usually handles the counter business was holding a microphone in her hand and standing on something that looked like a megaphone.

"Okay, adventurers, please come over here and line up. The situation is urgent, this is an emergency assembly. I'm sorry to bother you all, and please forgive me, adventurers."

The adventurers began to line up.

Can't figure out what's going on.

Because they heard it was an emergency assembly, they went back and put on their equipment just in case, but now it seems that they are not going to fight.

Not only that, the guild staff and what seemed to be the civil servants of this town were standing outside the line of adventurers, as if to form a human wall... no, it should be said that they were blocking their way as if to prevent them from escaping.

Sato Kazuma looked at Zun Zun with doubt, and received a calm look.

Not only him, but other adventurers also noticed that the atmosphere had become so tense that all the adventurers present began to make noise and whisper to each other.

"Mr. Kazuma, Mr. Kazuma."

“Yes, I’m Kazuma.”

"I feel like something is wrong. I have a vague feeling of foreboding. It must be the goddess' intuition telling me that it's better to run away quickly."

"What a coincidence, my sixth sense is the same."

Sato Kazuma said so.

Just as the two of them bent down and were about to sneak away quietly, a figure blocked their way and prevented them from leaving. When they looked up, they found that it was their friend.

"Darkness?"

"Don't worry, you two. No crime will happen next, and no one will do anything inhumane to you. Don't worry."

She said this as if to comfort him.

And unlike other fully armed adventurers, Darkness did not wear the white adamantium armor with gold threads that was enchanted by Zun Zun, but a black shirt and a narrow skirt that highlighted her graceful figure.

"Darkness, do you know what the emergency mission is?"

Sato Kazuma asked secretly.

Darkness didn’t answer but just hugged her shoulders.

Finally, there were uneasiness and whispers everywhere, and a strange atmosphere gradually enveloped the scene. Although everyone felt a little uneasy, they did nothing.

After all, the guild would not harm them.

The Adventurer's Guild is a kingdom organization established for adventurers. It is an organization that exists to support them. Therefore, as long as the adventurers do not make mistakes, the guild will serve them wholeheartedly.

In other words, adventurers and guilds will never become hostile to each other!

"——Everyone, it's time to pay your taxes!"

The lady at the counter in front said this with a smile on her face.

…It seems that is not the case.
