The legend of the Crimson Demon clan started from Suqing.

Chapter 557: It was you who brought Lord Vanir here?
"You are the one who lured Lord Vanir here!?"

"it's me!"

...Wait, sir?

Now I think about it, Vanir's favorite thing is to wantonly tease the emotions of the members of the Demon King's Army in the Demon King's Castle. Plus, Serena is the human whose emotions are most easily teased, so he unconsciously added the title of 'Adult'.

Serena glared at Zun Zun with tears in her eyes.

Just when the two thought she was about to take action, they saw her take a deep breath and suppress her emotions.

It seems that she is also very experienced.

Then, Serena opened and closed her index and middle fingers in front of the two of them. However, Zun Zun and Sato Kazuma looked at her in confusion. Seeing this, she said angrily:
"Cigarettes, don't you understand? You are such a notorious guy, you should have a pack of cigarettes on you, right? Lend me one. Since I came to this town, I have been pretending to be an excellent student and I haven't smoked a cigarette."

"No, that...I didn't."

"Same as above."

The smoke in this world is no different from that in the other world. There are also such plants in the Crimson Devil's Village, but they are not used to make smoke, but potions.

"Aha--"

Serena scratched her head angrily, looking a little rude and uncouth, completely lacking the pure feeling she had before.

Finally, she sighed deeply and chose to expose herself.

"It's no use hiding it now... I'm Celestina, a cadre of the Demon King's army, a strategist and intelligence officer, and a dark priestess who believes in Regina, the goddess of puppets and revenge."

"...You actually said that you believe in an evil god. I thought you would stubbornly believe that you are the orthodox one. The term "evil god" is used to describe the gods worshipped by other religions."

For example, the holy religion in fantasy novels.

After hearing what Sato Kazuma said, Serena suddenly raised her head.

Her expression was completely different from before, it was a dark and cold expression like a doll. Because she looked like a beautiful woman, it was quite scary to suddenly make such an expression.

"...After all, my god is in charge of puppets and revenge. What else can he be but an evil god?"

She showed a beautiful smile that was in contrast to her harsh words.

Unfortunately, after knowing that she believes in the God of Puppetry, I always feel that the smile on her face is particularly fake.

Sato Kazuma shuddered.

At this time-

"That's not right."

"what?"

“Isn’t it normal for a goddess like her to be in charge of tyranny and laziness? She’s now the poster girl for Wiz’s magic tool shop, and she’s very popular among adventurers.”

“——Oh, you’re talking about her?”

Under Serena's confused expression, Zun Zun's words made Sato Kazuma a little excited.

Talk about it.

I heard from Huihui and Youyou that Wobak always comes to complain, saying that Sato Kazuma asked him to call him brother or something... Is this guy too much?
"The goddess of tyranny and laziness... Are you talking about Lady Wolbach!?"

Serena's mouth dropped open.

Is this person really an espionage worker? Although Wolbach rarely goes out, she has never hidden her whereabouts, and she has become a poster girl comparable to Wiz in Axel. How come she doesn't know anything?

"Really? Really? Really?"

"What did you say?"

"nothing."

I hate it when people stop talking mid-sentence.

Sato Kazuma suddenly remembered something. He blinked and said, "Puppets... Those zombies in the cemetery that the purification magic didn't work on, could they be..."

"I did it. Those weren't zombies, they were puppets. I tell you, it was hard work. I had to pull the bodies out of the graves one by one in the middle of the night..."

Serena complained to the two of them.

Of course, it was very troublesome to do this, especially when she was alone and could not be discovered. However, the benefits of this were also obvious. With this trick alone, she successfully gained the trust of the adventurers at a very fast speed.

As expected of a Demon King Army cadre.

I'm quite good at it.

"…What about the one just now, about a beautiful girl becoming a demon king because of a curse?"

"You really believe it? That's what I'm saying to powerful adventurers who might become enemies of the Demon King. I'm telling them that after a while the curse will be lifted and the world will return to peace, so there's no need to risk your life to fight the Demon King."

After such instigation, most people will calm down, after all, everyone’s own life is important.

Tell adventurers that there is no need to take risks, and they will choose the easy path.

It's really dirty.

Taking advantage of people's emotions.

If some people knew in advance that the Demon King was originally a beautiful girl, they would probably hesitate when they really had to confront the Demon King.

A scheming dark priest.

“But why are you telling me all this? Even though your identity has been discovered by Vanir and Wiz, you still have to tell me all your secrets…”

"Nothing, I just think it's better to speak frankly than to continue telling lies and making the atmosphere awkward. Even though the Demon King sees you as a threat, but..."

Serena laughed disdainfully, which made Sato Kazuma feel a little unhappy.

She added: "I'll get straight to the point. You're just a nerd who doesn't want to work, right?"

"Nothing wrong."

"You have never thought about risking your life for the sake of humanity to defeat the Demon King?"

"Sure."

"What would you think if you knew that a group of strangers were suffering from the Demon King's army in a place you couldn't see?"

"It's their bad luck." Sato Kazuma used his little finger to pick his ear and gave a thoughtless answer. Serena looked at him expressionlessly, and the contempt in her eyes became more and more obvious.

I guess even she, a cadre in the Demon King's army, thinks he is hopeless, right?
"Sato Kazuma, make a deal with the Demon King's army."

"How to say."

"Actually, the war between the Demon King's army and humans has been in a stalemate for many years. However, recently, thanks to someone, a huge change has occurred, and the barrier of the Demon King's Castle is about to break."

"Yeah, I was right."

Sato Kazuma said this shamelessly.

Now the barrier of the Demon King's Castle is in danger. Once the barrier disappears, the Red Demon Clan, a combat group, will teleport there day and night to attack the Demon King's army.

This is certainly not Zun Zun's request. If he wants to become the Demon King, he will not rely on others to help him. But just like going to the outskirts of the Demon King's city for a picnic every once in a while, this has almost become a routine.

"But the same goes for you humans."

"Ok?"

"Some time ago, some unknown but ridiculously strong guys often appeared out of nowhere in the world, and every time they appeared, they would cause great pain to the Demon King's army. But since you appeared, such people have never come again... Hey, why are you suddenly sweating?"

"No, no, no, no... It's nothing, it's just your illusion."

Sato Kazuma was sweating profusely.

He seemed to think that it was because he brought Aqua to the underworld that there were no more reincarnated people in this world.

But in fact it was wrong, it was because the new goddess was too conscientious and made the dangers of this world very clear, so those reincarnated people did not come.

Not only Sato Kazuma misunderstood, but Serena did too.

Maybe he thought such a person was dangerous, so he focused his attention on him and rejected Zun Zun's invitation to join a team.

Others may think that they are touched that the other party refuses their invitation for their sake, but to be honest, it is precisely because of the refusal that many flaws are exposed.

At this time, Serena said again: "Sato Kazuma, you want to join the Demon King's army?"

"……ah!?"

"It is said that people with names like yours might be sent by the gods, and you are the last of them. Isn't it almost as if the gods are saying that you alone are enough?"

“…I’m sorry, but I’m just an ordinary adventurer. I won’t pose a threat to the Demon King’s army. Please tell the Demon King this for me.”

Sato Kazuma shook his head.

Serena continued to tempt him, "The Demon King's army has many hot beauties."

"I, I won't waver!"

"Then why are you so fidgety?"

She rolled her eyes in disgust.

However, Serena also found that Sato Kazuma was indeed an insignificant figure as shown in the investigation, so she didn't care much.

“Okay, I can choose not to report to the Demon King, but the condition is that you don’t tell anyone my true identity, not even your companions. Also, don’t interfere with what I will do next in this city, especially don’t tell Wiz... This is the condition of the deal.”

"…I really can't help it. Although my sense of justice and conscience are protesting, if we really get serious here, the town will suffer…"

Sato Kazuma actually dared to say such a thing.

Serena didn't say anything. When she patted her butt and was about to leave...

"Wait a moment."

A hand held her shoulder.

It’s Zun Zun.

“I said, you and Kazuma have reached a deal, but what about me?”

"……Well."

Serena was silent.

First of all, Zun Zun is from the Red Demon Clan, and he is also a member of the combat group. If he is not handled properly, the Demon King’s City will be in trouble.

Secondly, Zun Zun is much more popular in this town than she is. If it is exposed, her plan will completely fail.

In the end, even though I was a general of the Demon King's army, the other side also defeated many of them...

Something suddenly occurred to her.

"You won't do anything to me."

"…Are you confident?"

"You have a collecting habit, after all."

"Ok?"

Such a statement made Zun Zun a little surprised.

“The Demon King’s army officers have been missing one after another, and with the barrier weakening, the Demon King and the remaining Demon King’s army officers all think they have been conquered. But you just said that Wolbach is a poster girl here, right? That means she has not been conquered. Add to that what Wiz just said, so I reasonably suspect that Beldia, Sylvia, and Hans…”

"Hans is dead."

"Haha, sure enough."

This guy actually tricked me?

It has to be said that Serena can be regarded as a strategist of the Demon King’s army. She must know Hans’s nature, so she deliberately put his name at the end to observe Zun Zun’s reaction.

And now, she was finally sure.

Except for the Demon King's Army General Hans, the rest of the Demon King's Army Generals were not conquered.

"So……"

Serena held up her 98H agar slime, and the beautiful smile on her face turned a little lewd.

"How am I?"
