I love time travel the most!

However, compared to the terrifying female orc, the handsome and somewhat dashing Sato Kazuma could indeed be considered an idol, provided one ignores his even more shameless and unscrupulous behavior than the orc.

"Seriously, since he's a hybrid of the best traits from other races, why hasn't his appearance changed at all?!"

"Is it possible to change one's appearance and no longer be called a half-orc?"

The little boy's complaints about almost being defiled were dealt with by Aqua as if it were perfectly normal.

Despite being a complete idiot, he surprisingly has an understanding of this aspect.

Does she know anything about postpartum care for sows?

"Senior Kobayashi, why aren't you helping? Could it be that you're getting revenge on me because I secretly sold the equipment I hid in the basement of the mansion for pocket money, so you're just letting me die?"

"...Wait, what did you just say?"

It seems I've heard something incredible.

What did you do to my treasures?!

She really wanted to question him, but his resentful gaze made Xiaolin hold back for the time being.

"Youyou, let me thank you again."

Kazuma Sato expressed his sincere gratitude: "Thank you so much. If you ask me how grateful I am... let me put it this way, if I am ever asked in the future, 'Who is the person you respect the most?' I will immediately answer that it is Yu-Yu. That's how grateful I am."

"No, no, that sounds like you're teasing me on purpose."

Youyou was naturally shy and coy.

She had never been thanked like this before; she was always the one making sacrifices silently.

Under normal circumstances, one would probably think that Kazuma Sato was making a mountain out of a molehill. However, given the other party's usual character, such sincere gratitude shows how much emotional trauma it must have caused him.

As for how big...

Sato looked at the girls with genuine sympathy and said from the bottom of his heart, "You are all beauties."

"—?!" X5

The group of people rubbed their shoulders in unison.

His words, spoken in the forest beside the road, left everyone speechless.

"What's wrong? Kazuma is acting strangely. Kazuma's behavior is usually strange, but today he's acting even more strangely."

"Calm down, this guy definitely has some ulterior motive. Kazuma loves to lift people up high and then drop them. If you feel happy about it, you'll definitely fall into a trap!"

Aqua said some very rude things to Megumin.

I thought that scumbag He Zhen would be furious and condemn them loudly, but to my surprise, he praised them again:

"You are all absolutely gorgeous!"

"What's going on! What's going on? Kazuma is so strange, what's going on!"

"Calm down, Aqua! In any case, let's cast a healing spell on Kazuma first!"

The two were busy and chattering incessantly.

Kobayashi patted him on the shoulder, indicating that he didn't need to hold back and could cry as much as he wanted.

There is no harm without comparison.

Compared to the orcs who wanted to drain him dry and send him to heaven, Aqua and the other girls with mental issues were like goddesses... although one of them was a real goddess.

After resting enough, they set off for the Crimson Demon Village again.

"When Huihui was still in school, she always maintained top grades in both academics and magic. The villagers all called her a genius and looked forward to her growth and performance... Such a Huihui actually became a flawed mage who could only use explosion magic."

"Wait, what did I do to Explosion Magic! In terms of magical power alone, I'm definitely number one in the Crimson Demon Clan! I've dedicated almost my entire life to Explosion Magic, so you're not allowed to say anything bad about it!"

"What use is explosive magic?!"

From the moment she started, Youyou had been picking on Huihui.

It seems the villagers of Scarlet Devil Village don't know that Megumin only knows Explosion Magic, so Yuuyu brought it up and reminded them not to let it slip.

She truly is a good best friend.

Even if they keep complaining, they actually care about each other.

"Youyou, how dare you say that? This is even worse than looking down on my name; it's the last thing you should have said!"

"W-What, you want to fight? If you want to settle things, I'm ready anytime. I'm not going to lose to Huihui anymore!"

Youyou remained vigilant and kept her distance from Huihui.

This is where the drawback of the Explosion Magic comes into play; not only will it be affected by the blast wave, but it will also be taken down by Youyou, who has stronger physical skills, as soon as it is cast.

and so--

"Actually, when we Crimson Demons are born, we get a tattoo on a certain part of our bodies. The location is different for everyone, and Youyou's tattoo is located in..."

"Shut up! What are you trying to say! And how do you know where my tattoo is!"

With a mournful face, Youyou attacked Huihui.

Huihui deftly dodged away.

"Aqua, give me some support magic. I'm going to teach this guy a lesson."

"You despicable person! Huihui is still so cunning, she's always been this cunning!"

Just at this time.

Perhaps drawn by the sound of two people arguing loudly, a shrill, piercing voice came from deep within the forest.

"Hey, over here! There really is a human voice coming from this side!"

Oh no, it's the Demon King's army!

"Hey you two, it looks like we've been spotted by the enemy! It's about time we quieted down!"

Darkness bent down and reprimanded the two of them sternly.

"Who told Youyou to keep shouting so loudly?"

"Huihui is more prone to anger than I am! You've always been like this, acting recklessly without thinking of the consequences!"

"What did you say?!"

"You two, shut up! I told you not to shout anymore, or we'll get caught!"

Darkness hid in the bushes, pressing down on Huihui and Youyou's heads, who were still arguing.

Kazuma Sato yelled at the two men who were still wrestling without saying a word, "Hey, stop talking about this and explain clearly where Yuu's tattoo is!"

"Found them! They're here! Someone's hiding here!"

His shout completely exposed the location where everyone was hiding.

"You guy! You guy!"

Darkness gripped his neck tightly.

"Found two Crimson Demons, the rest are humans who look like adventurers! Now is the perfect opportunity to make a great contribution!"

The one speaking was a goblin-like creature.

A slender monster wearing armor, with pointed ears and underdeveloped muscles.

Upon seeing the enemy's appearance, Aqua, who had been hiding in the bushes, stepped out, rubbing her hands together as if she was ready to fight.

however--

"Judging by your appearance, you must be a low-level mimicry demon, how annoying—! What's the use of a useless demon who can't even be promoted to a low-level demon and looks like a monster? What's the use? Even anti-magic magic is useless against low-level monsters like you. How wonderful, not being a demon means you don't have to be afraid! Pfft! That's hilarious! I don't have time to deal with someone who can't even be a demon right now. I'll play with you after you've truly been promoted to a demon. I'll let you off the hook for today, hurry up and run somewhere else. Hurry up, go somewhere cool!" (Bonus chapter)

The goblin-like monster gritted its teeth, its face growing even darker, its eyes wide with rage.

This can no longer be described as an insult or provocation.

Such derogatory words could easily be considered a form of psychological attack.

At this moment, other similar types of creatures appeared in twos and threes, wielding a variety of weapons, but all of them were armed monster soldiers.

This is not a good idea.

There are a lot of them!

Behind that monster are more than twenty different kinds of demons.

"I think I heard something about letting someone go. Hey, you priest over there, what did you just say? The Crimson Demons have made us suffer terribly... and you have two Crimson Demon children over there, how could I possibly let you go! Go, tear them to pieces!"

At this moment, Youyou took a step forward.

"—Light Of Saber!"

A beam of light shot out along the trajectory of the hand chop, and as it passed through, several monsters had parts of their bodies sliced ​​off and fell to the ground on the spot.

"Surround them, surround them! Start by killing that Crimson Demon girl... uh!"

"That won't do. I'd be in big trouble if we were surrounded."

Before it could finish its excited words, its head was severed, and drops of blood dripped from it in mid-air, which, under the sunlight, could be seen as thin threads.

"Damn it! Don't be afraid! Attack together, there are more of us!"

Even after their leader was killed, the Demon King's army showed no intention of retreating; instead, it fueled their bloodthirsty fighting spirit.

Is this the Demon King's army?

Unfortunately, it was no use. In the brief moment of free time, Kobayashi's threads had spread throughout the forest. With just a gentle pull, the monsters would die instantly.

However, things are never that smooth.

The little girl's shouting voice came from inside.

"Youyou, you actually said I used comedic magic! In that case, I'll show you the power of comedic magic!"

"Huh? Wait, wait a minute, you're not going to...!"

"Explosion—!"

"So it really is explosion magic?!"

Ignoring the panicked Youyou, Huihui's explosive magic had already unleashed its power, even dragging in the Demon King's army minions who were watching the situation from afar, blasting them all into the sky.

The nearby forest was completely blown away, and the monsters who witnessed such power were all stunned.
