I love time travel the most!

Darkness, however, asked in confusion, "Wait, this is a fictional story, but where is the first letter?"

"This information should be true, after all, the Crimson Demon Clan has always been regarded as a thorn in the side by the Demon King's army, and I also felt that it would become like this one day. They are probably preparing to launch a formal attack on our village."

The little girl's expression was somewhat somber.

Huihui intends to deeply imprint the faces of everyone in the Crimson Demon Village in her mind; all the villagers will forever remain in her heart.

Youyou also had a forlorn expression.

They knew best how powerful the Demon King's army was, so this attack was likely to be disastrous for the Crimson Demon Clan.

Even so, she was prepared to go back.

"Everyone, I plan to..."

"Alright, next stop, Crimson Demon Village. Let those Demon Kings' armies witness our power!"

"Oh!!!" X4

Xiaolin's shout stunned Youyou on the spot.

Everyone else was also all smiles.

He flicked Youyou's forehead, making her cry out in pain, but it also brought her back to her senses.

"What's with that expression? My companion's hometown is in crisis, how could I not go to help? So, let's go back together, Youyou."

"...Yes, Mr. Kobayashi!"

The girl smiled with emotion.

—It's so great to join this team!

Chapter 417 Half-Beast X Kazuma Sato

"Where's that guy?"

"She said she had to go home first to give the gifts to her father and servants, and would be back later."

"What a troublesome guy."

"Don't say that. Anyway, we have teleportation magic, so we'll be able to get to Alcanredia soon."

The person that Kazuma Sato and Kobayashi were talking about was Darkness.

Because the decision was made so decisively, I didn't even have time to unpack my luggage before leaving early the next morning.

The rich heiress can only get up early to go home.

She must have been held up by something, otherwise she should have been back by now, given her speed.

However, there's no need to rush.

The route to Scarlet Devil Village largely overlaps with that of Alcanredia, so they decided to use teleportation magic to shorten the journey before changing their route to Scarlet Devil Village.

In addition, Kazuma Sato has been seeking his advice.

To be clear, for now, observe the outskirts of the Crimson Demon Village. If we are indeed surrounded and attacked by the Demon King's army, do not hesitate to turn around and retreat.

It has a very scumbag and genuine style.

He probably felt that his small team alone couldn't turn the tide of battle.

In reality, even if things got to that point, they wouldn't be able to escape, at least not Youyou and Huihui who cared about the village.

After a while, Darkness met up with them.

"Sorry, have you been waiting long?"

"It's okay. Everyone, are you ready?"

"OK!" X6

"【Dimensional Array - Shangri-La】, activate!"

A purple light array instantly unfolded.

With eyes closed and then open again, the spa town of Alcanredia comes into view.

The expressions on everyone's faces were not good.

I thought I would never come back to this place again, but I didn't expect to return here immediately after getting home...

Life is truly unpredictable; the large intestine encloses the small intestine.

Except for Aqua.

"Xiaolin, Xiaolin, I'm telling you..."

"We need to leave this town immediately, because I have absolutely no desire to have anything to do with your cult!"

"Why?!"

Whether it was unsurprising or something else, the silly goddess did indeed want to stay here for the night, but was refused without any courtesy by Sato Kazuma. The reason, of course, was that their companions' village had been attacked by the Demon King's army, and they didn't have time to leisurely play around here.

Aqua originally wanted to try, but the worried looks from Yu-Yu and Megumin made her swallow her words.

She was surprisingly considerate.

To be honest, Kobayashi also wanted to go to town to see if Jesta had returned, and then use the power of the Axis Order to drive out the Demon King's army.

But when he thought about how the Axis followers were all a bunch of lunatics and that their uncontrollability was too great, he had no choice but to give up.

Ultimately, after a short stay in Alcanredia, they headed out to the outskirts and embarked on the road to the Scarlet Devil Village.

Using teleportation to shorten the distance is a good thing, but the downside is that there is no shared carriage to the Scarlet Devil Village.

It is said that the journey there is extremely dangerous, and even caravans do not travel it.

Moreover, the Crimson Demons can use teleportation magic to travel freely between towns, so there is no need for caravans to risk going there.

The road to Scarlet Devil Village is inhabited by many dangerous monsters, so Kobayashi's eyes and Kazuma Sato's enemy-sensing skills are very reliable.

"Even so..."

"This is a real headache."

The group stood in the middle of the road, muttering to themselves.

What lay before them was a vast plain. Trying to search for enemies using their senses was risky; in such excellent visibility, by the time their senses registered, the enemy would likely have already spotted them.

"I'll go ahead by myself, Senior Kobayashi. I'll leave the support to you."

"Actually, I can go and scout ahead."

“No. We don’t know the location of the Demon King’s army, and Senior Kobayashi has to protect Aqua and the others. If we’re attacked from the rear, we’re doomed. Besides, I’ve learned an escape skill, so if we encounter danger, I’ll retreat as soon as possible and notify you with hand gestures.”

"I understand, please be careful."

Kazuma Sato has a great sense of the big picture, and he can be ruthless when it's time to make sacrifices.

The process was just extremely difficult.

He always puts safety first, but when he takes off his gear, he goes into battle lightly equipped, striving to escape quickly if he encounters danger. It's hard to describe him as either cowardly or cautious.

On the road stretching across the vast, boundless plain, the lightly dressed Kazuma Sato walked ahead alone, nervously glancing left and right to make sure there were no monsters nearby.

So far, everything is going smoothly.

Among the monsters, those that can fly are the ones you need to be especially careful of.

Of all the monsters recorded in the intelligence, the griffin is the most troublesome, and those who fight it and obtain its silk threads know this best.

Fortunately, we didn't encounter it on this trip.

They had spotted the enemy from afar several times and managed to evade them. Those they couldn't evade were instantly eliminated by Kobayashi with lightning speed, thus successfully avoiding several large monsters.

very good!

As long as we maintain the status quo, we can rejoin everyone after crossing the plains.

Just then, he saw a figure standing alone in the middle of the plain, and the figure seemed unaware of his presence.

However, logically speaking, it is impossible for a human to appear alone.

Without a doubt, it was a monster.

Although they were still far away, he had already guessed what kind of monster it was.

Among the many dangerous monsters that inhabit this place, it has a uniquely unusual name.

— Orcs.

It was a monster with a pig's head that stood on two legs.

They are highly prolific, constantly in heat year-round. They can mate with almost any humanoid creature and disregard racial segregation.

I heard that if you get caught, the consequences will be terrible.

Rumors are circulating that if you get caught by this monster, it's better to commit suicide immediately.

However, compared to those large monsters, it doesn't seem worth the extra detour.

Moreover, there was only one enemy.

He's the kind of guy who has a magical weapon called "One-Hit Kill - Youth Edition." Just get close and poke it once, and he should be able to take care of it easily.

Based on this judgment, Kazuma Sato walked towards the figure in the distance.

Moreover, he didn't try to conceal his whereabouts and walked around openly. Even though there was nowhere to hide on the vast plain, his demeanor proved that he was a bit arrogant.

Soon, Kazuma Sato paid the price for his carelessness.

When he got quite close to the figure, the other person seemed to have noticed him and walked towards him.

"...And...True! And...!"

Such a sound came from the distant rear.

Kazuma Sato turned around and saw that it was Aqua and the others calling out to him, while Kobayashi was also frantically gesturing at him.

that is……

Run!

But the other party was just a mere orc.
