I love time travel the most!

A flustered Youyou rushed in, her face flushed with anxiety. She didn't know what had happened; her shoulders bounced up and down with her rapid breathing.

The crowd's emotions were stirred, and their eyes were focused on her.

"Um... I'm really sorry to say this all of a sudden, but..." Youyou pursed her lips tightly, as if she had made up her mind.

Huihui asked curiously, "What's wrong? Did something happen?"

Youyou gently shook her head.

Then, she looked directly into Kobayashi's face.

"I...! I...! I want Mr. Kobayashi's child!...If that's not possible, Mr. Kazuma's will do too!"

"puff--"

Kazuma Sato spat out the black tea he was holding in his mouth.

Youyou blushed, her fists clenched and trembling, looking utterly ashamed and indignant.

Even so, they did not avoid being seen.

She wasn't the only one whose body was stiff; everyone except Kobayashi was also dumbfounded.

"Huihui, can you please not make that move? If you let me take back my move, I'll give you this strangely shaped stone that I found in the hot springs of Alcanredia."

Except for that one idiot goddess who was completely oblivious to their expressions and didn't listen to what they were saying.

Looking bewildered, Darkness instinctively tilted her hand and spilled the black tea onto the carpet.

Kobayashi slowly put down the black tea in his hand.

There was a ding.

This startled the chaotic crowd.

"What did you say?"

"I...I said, I want Mr. Kobayashi's child! ...Of course, if Mr. Kobayashi doesn't agree, Mr. Kazuma is fine too."

"I'm sorry, I wanted Darkness to have the first child... cough cough, it's nothing."

I forced myself to swallow the words that were about to come out.

Oh no, the bomb almost exploded.

If word gets out, the impact will be even greater than what happened with Youyou.

Others have already become suspicious.

Yu-Yu hesitated again and said, "If Mr. Kobayashi doesn't agree, Mr. Kazuma can too."

Kazuma Sato said, "Okay, I hope the first child will be a girl."

"No, no, the first child has to be a boy!" Youyou immediately retorted.

For some reason, the two suddenly skipped over Kobayashi and the conversation immediately shifted to whether to have a boy or a girl.

I thought Youyou was the kind of girl who would always give in, but it seems she can still say what needs to be said.

Coming to her senses, Huihui loudly questioned, "Wait a minute, what did you mean by wanting girls or boys! Why did we suddenly get to that point? And Youyou, what were you saying all of a sudden? Do you really know what you just said?"

Darkness chimed in, "Leaving aside Kobayashi, you know what kind of man Kazuma is, right? And... and he accepts anyone who comes his way... Hiss—! Hiss—!"

The perverted female knight began to pant.

Clearly, she hadn't expected that Youyou, who usually seemed like a well-behaved girl, would have such a true nature.

...A top student after school?

Huihui grabbed her best friend's shoulders and shook her hard, saying, "Come to your senses, Youyou! Sometimes you're so focused on rushing around that you can't see the situation clearly! Please explain what happened from the beginning! Besides, even if you really have to have a child, you absolutely can't choose a scumbag!"

Is this how the demolition theory is applied?

Kazuma Sato, who was seriously injured, was very unhappy.

"Because! If we don't have children, the world will...! The Demon King will...!"

Youyou looked like she was about to cry.

"I understand, world... It's okay, you don't need to tell me everything, I understand. As long as I have a child with Youyou, there'll be a way to defeat the Demon King and save the world, right? It's an old trope in isekai fantasy. How could I possibly refuse the request of someone burdened with worries?"

"You rascal, when we wanted to do missions before, you were always complaining and resisting, but now you're acting like this again when it comes to something like this!"

"Stop making so much noise! ​​This is between the two of us, so don't be nosy, outsiders! It's a rare time for me to be in love, so please don't bother me!"

"This man actually turned around and got angry at us! And how is this none of my business? My friend is about to be stolen away by a man, of course I have to speak up!"

The little girl wouldn't give up.

Despite being rivals and seemingly unwilling to admit defeat, she and Youyou have actually become very close friends over the past few days.

Seeing the arguing group, Youyou called out, seemingly at a loss:

"Calm down! I'm sorry, it's all my fault, please, please calm down!"

"I heard that the kingdom's law allows marriage at fourteen, right? Since Youyou is Huihui's classmate, she should be fourteen too, right? If that's the case, then there's no problem at all! This is wonderful, so amazing! I won't be considered a lolicon, and I won't break any rules! This is the first time I've ever fallen in love with this world!"

Kazuma Sato has gone completely insane.

It's no longer necessary to imagine what will happen to a scumbag who has never been admired by any girl once he becomes popular.

"This guy……!"

Huihui glared at him through gritted teeth.

"Darkness, let's teach him a lesson and make this guy suffer!"

"Alright, let's kill this foul-mouthed scum!"

"Oh ho, you want to fight? You guys really haven't learned your lesson. I have the divine skill of Absorption Touch. If you're not afraid of death, then bring it on."

The three people are in a tripod-like stance.

Kobayashi then came to Youyou's side and patted the shoulder of the timid girl who wanted to mediate but didn't know how.

"Mr. Xiaolin..."

"Don't panic, come on, take a deep breath. Tell me slowly what happened."

"Hush-huh-"

After taking a deep breath, Youyou said with utmost seriousness, "The village... Crimson Demon Village is going to disappear!"

"...Huh?" X4

Her words immediately silenced the noisy crowd.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

Darkness served Youyou a cup of tea.

"So, what exactly happened that would cause the Crimson Demon Village to disappear? That's really alarmist. Can you explain?"

"actually……"

Hearing Huihui say this, Youyou took out an envelope and handed it over, while the little girl took out two sheets of paper from the opened envelope and began to read them.

The general idea is:

Fearing the power of the Crimson Demon Clan, the Demon King's army has established a military base near Crimson Demon Village, intending to send a large number of demons to attack.

According to the village fortune teller's prophecy, Youyou will meet a man in Axel.

The man was a renowned adventurer in town, but he soon suffered a major setback and became a good-for-nothing, spending his days idly and doing nothing, no different from a gigolo.

Even so, this man is Youyou's destined partner.

The couple will then have a son.

This boy will embark on a journey to inherit his father's will to defeat the Demon King and successfully avenge his clan.

"I have a feeling that this letter is implying something."

Xiaolin couldn't help but complain.

He knew that there were fortune tellers in Scarlet Devil Village who could foresee the future.

However, the other party clearly combined their own image with that of Kazuma Sato, and their rhetoric was obviously a generic, all-purpose phrase that could be applied to anything, only fooling naive young girls.

"Besides, I can defeat the Demon King without anyone else."

"But the higher-ups said that Kobayashi, you'll soon suffer a major blow and become a useless piece of trash... Wow—great—great!"

Darkness was panting heavily, his face flushed.

It seems she hopes Kobayashi will become the kind of useless person.

Aqua pouted and said, "You guys, do you really believe in such ambiguous prophecies? Besides, how long am I supposed to wait? Hurry up and defeat the Demon King so I can go back!"

"The Scarlet Devil Village has extremely skilled fortune tellers, which means this fortune telling..."

Youyou lowered her head with worry.

The others looked at Huihui, and the little girl nodded silently.

They probably all believe it now.

however--

"Huh, what's this...?"

"————?!!!" X5

Upon hearing her say that, everyone turned around abruptly.

"Let me see."

"Wa ...

Suddenly, Youyou snatched the letter, crumpled it into a ball, threw it away, and then buried her face in the table and burst into tears.

"You're such an idiot!"

"Hey, what's going on?" Sato Kazuma asked, puzzled. "What's wrong? What happened to my child? What should I do? Should I take my clothes off here or go back to my room?"

"Get your head off! ...She could be one of our classmates from Scarlet Devil Village. How should I put it, she's the kind of kid who wants to be a writer..."

Huihui's explanation relieved everyone.
