He's a crossover character in anime/manga, and basically just very despicable.

A terrifying aura, so thick it was almost tangible, spread out, making my shoulders feel as heavy as if they were being pressed down by cold stones.

Kurosaki Azami, standing in front of me, had her back to the window; her left side was bathed in sunlight, while her right side was shrouded in shadow.

Such a contrast should give some people an artistic feeling of "half angel and half devil", but in Jun Kiwata's eyes, Kurosaki Azami's posture is a feeling that is both strange and harmonious.

Just seeing it was enough to make fear gnaw at his heart like a venomous snake.

It's like...

The hideous devil grinned as he accepted the angel's blessing, and was crowned like God on a throne inlaid with jewels!

"A monster?"

The devil smiled matter-of-factly:

Did you know that in the eyes of ants, humans are also monsters?

Behind Kurosaki Azami, a gaping maw seemed to open, sunlight like a crimson tongue, about to engulf Kiwatari Jun, until it reached the long, foul-smelling intestines of a black serpent...

Run! Run fast!!!

Watching Kiwatari Jun launch himself into the air, Kurosaki Azami turned to Igarashi Seika.

"Announce the results."

"Okay...okay."

This is also the first time that Igarashi Seika has experienced up close the villainous aura enhanced by Kurosaki Azami's "underworld filter." It lacks the sweet charm of Dior's seductive charm and adds a sense of despair and gloom.

"Kikuto Jun abstained, came in last place, with a debt of 10 billion."

"Rena Nanami is in third place, with a debt of 5000 million yen."

"Saotome Meari is in second place, with a debt of 2000 million yen."

"Kurosaki Azami is in first place, with a debt of 1000 million."

This ten million was a fictitious debt that Jun Kiwatari fabricated to make a small profit, but unexpectedly it benefited Azami Kurosaki.

100 billion yen is no small sum, even for the governor of Tokyo Prefecture.

Kurosaki Azami has already used his brain to notify Bucciarati and others, instructing them to contact reporters and prepare to fabricate a scandal involving the Kiwata family's huge debts and bribery.

I believe I will soon receive news of the downfall of the Mudu family!

[The host's scheme to amass wealth has caused a once prosperous and happy family to fall into an abyss in an instant. How cruel and evil!]

Reward item: Lollipop (for luring little girls)!

Effect: If given to a female who appears to be under 14 years old, she will become completely obedient to you!

Note: According to the laws of the Celestial Empire, having sexual relations with a girl under the age of 14 is considered rape. Please think carefully!

"Little guy? Little guy?"

Before he could even complain, Lucifer's voice began to echo in Kurosaki Azami's mind.

"Come to hell right now!"

I need your help!

Chapter 73 Kurosaki Azami: The Clown is Right Beside Me!

"What's wrong, Your Majesty?"

After the debt restructuring meeting ended, Kurosaki Azami hurriedly asked for leave and went home, and then rushed to hell without stopping.

Lucifer isn't the kind of person who would summon Kurosaki Azami just because he's bored... Demon, there must be something wrong with him coming this time.

"There's a problem with Malak's territory."

Her Majesty's tone was unusually devoid of its usual arrogance.

"The defensive core in the next territory I was planning to send you to has disappeared..."

Isn't this a good thing?

"...appeared in another territory..."

Lucifer, how come I never noticed before that you like to talk in such a breathy way?

"Moreover, these two cores seem to be merging, which has greatly increased the defenses in the territory, making it increasingly difficult for my magic to penetrate."

What can you get by combining these two cores? An orange-tier defensive core?

"If we wait any longer, that place might become a completely inaccessible forbidden zone."

"Then what are we waiting for? Bring me your souls, two of them."

The other fragments of the Fear Lord's emblem are still inside the defense core.

Although Malak died at the hands of Lucifer, his skill in defensive magic and field magic was even greater than Lucifer's.

If the defenses are strengthened further, to the point that Lucifer can't even send him in, then he really won't be able to remain the Lord of Fear.

After all, you can't report it lost and get a replacement.

"Oh, and remember to bring a woman's soul; I need it."

"All right.........."

Although he was very curious, Lucifer did not pry into the matter in this emergency.

Two chains pulled in two souls, but the Crimson King only devoured one of them.

The remaining female soul was given a "Dengdua Fist" by Kurosaki Azami, then rolled into a ball and stuffed into the system space.

"Open the door, Your Majesty."

————————————————The Crimson King———————————————————

"It seems Malak's businesses are quite diversified..."

Scarlet tents were pitched everywhere, surrounded by fences made of simple but sturdy wooden planks, and small amusement facilities such as water guns for shooting ducks and shooting ranges were set up around the area.

On the large sign hanging high up, there was a picture of a clown grinning widely.

circus?

Kurosaki Azami had wondered before what the Malak Hotel relied on to attract customers, and it seems it wasn't the blood pool at the entrance of Lucifer's Hall that drew vampire tourists.

What is this? A hellish amusement park?

"The restrictions here are too great; I'm afraid I can't even maintain voice communication now."

Lucifer's helpless voice rang out.

You call yourself a queen...

"Note that the defenses between different territories follow the core's layout, so there's likely more than one type of enemy here..."

Well, it seems we're facing unknowns again.

To be honest, the intelligence provided by Her Majesty the Queen has never been of much use, but that doesn’t stop Kurosaki Azami from extracting useful information from it, such as in the previous battle against Elizabeth Bathory.

"First of all, judging from these instances, Malak likes to make a preemptive move by revealing the characteristics of the defenders, seemingly to increase the enemy's unease."

After all, it's a fear demon.

"Secondly, there is more than one type of enemy here. I may need to deal with enemies with two different modes of action. I must not get stuck in a fixed mindset."

"Finally, since the defenses here are gradually being strengthened, we must destroy the core of the defenses as soon as possible to prevent me from being unable to get out at all. We should also be prepared for the possibility that 'Lucifer will not be able to open the portal immediately'."

Do we need both the speed of a blitzkrieg and the endurance of a protracted war?

The Crimson King was poised to strike, and Azami Kurosaki stepped into the largest red tent in the middle.

At this moment.

"Lucifer, what are you doing here looking for a loser like me?"

At the edge of the abyss of hell, a short-haired demon wearing a red robe with fly wing patterns and a few freckles on his face looked at Lucifer with disdain.

“Beelzebub, I’ve come to ask you about Malak.”

Lucifer's expression remained arrogant.

"Even if I had a good relationship with Malak when I was still the Demon King, it doesn't mean I knew all of his plans."

Beelzebub, of course, wouldn't give this guy who had stolen his throne a friendly look.

"I'll only ask you one question—"

The gleaming trident told Beelzebub that the arrogant demon was no pushover either.

"—Is this related to 'fate'?"

--------------at the same time---------------------

The various colored lights dazzled Kurosaki Azami's eyes.

If placed at a celebration on earth, the colorful lights could be considered a beautiful sight. However, in a place like hell, the optical effects that make people dizzy and nauseous, coupled with the shrill and unpleasant laughter from afar, can only be described as "light pollution."

If there were a circus like this performing in the human world, Kurosaki Azami wouldn't watch it even if he were paid to.

"Hehehehehe..."

His laughter was high-pitched, like that of a young eunuch who had just been castrated a few days ago. He wore a small pointed hat on his pale head, and his big red nose, like an apple, twitched. His sharp, triangular teeth were covered in blood, and he was not even as tall as Kurosaki Azami's thigh.

Image: "The clown is actually next to the protagonist", Location: "Images/1644228077-100292271-108330233.jpg"

Azami Kurosaki now knows why some people suffer from copula.

This thing, reminiscent of a sewer rat, made Azami Kurosaki feel nauseous.

Moreover, more and more clowns surged in from behind, numbering in the hundreds.

Even if you use [Crimson King] to delete time at this point, it will be difficult to escape this massive encirclement.

Fortunately, Azami Kurosaki had made preparations in advance.

"Hey, woman."

The soul obtained from Lucifer was dragged out of the system space by Azami Kurosaki.
