You call this magic?

As for Kazuma, Megumin, and Aqua... in one word, depravity.

If Ethan didn't know them well enough, and knew that no matter how depraved they were, Kazuma would be able to take charge when they were really needed, he wouldn't have given them such a long vacation.

"By the way." Ethan finished today's maintenance work, raised his head slightly and asked, "Any news?"

Yubel didn't stay here every day. She had already recorded Axel's address and would use [Teleport] to run back and forth from the royal capital every day. For her, this was easier than drinking water.

Its main purpose is to find out the news about Philen.

After finding Ethan, the only one left was Philen. Although she was mature, polite, and powerful, the lack of news still made Ethan anxious.

"No." Yu Bei'er shook her head. "As of noon today, I have searched every possible channel in the kingdom, but there is no news about the child."

"Is that so... In other words, there is only one answer left." Ethan said in a deep voice.

"Demon King's Castle."

A glint of interest flashed in Yubel's eyes.

"Given the strength of this world, there shouldn't be anyone who can defeat her." Yu Beier said meaningfully, "Since she's willing to stay there, she must have her reasons."

"Then it's time for us to deal with the Demon King." Ethan stood up. "Since the only thing left is the Demon King's Castle, we have to explore it no matter what."

"What if we meet other cadres of the Demon King's army?" Yu Beier licked her lips, a hint of danger in her eyes.

"Anyone who stands in my way will be killed without mercy." Ethan said with a cold expression.

Because of his origins in this life, Ethan naturally has no fondness for the word "demon", even though he knows they are not the same race.

Who told you to call yourself the demon clan?

"please wait for a moment."

At this moment, a familiar voice sounded outside the door. Ethan had clearly set up a soundproof barrier. Although it didn't require much technical skills, it couldn't be broken just by someone saying it.

But after hearing who the other party was, Ethan sighed and said, "Come in."

"Well, excuse me~" The door opened and the girl in white walked in with graceful steps.

The main reason why Ethan let her in was because if this guy really wanted to cause trouble, Ethan might not be able to stop him immediately.

The Duke of Hell, Barnil.

At this time, she has become the appearance of a beautiful girl, but the mask on her face still makes her look a little annoying.

"I just heard something quite interesting. Of course, I understand your anxiety, but... could you please listen to my advice before making any plans?"

Vanir was already quite polite; this was the devil's respect for the strong.

In addition, this time, Barnil made a real investment in the [Destroyer Resort Hotel] - although it was an unauthorized investment, Ethan did not mind Barnil's move. The devil never acts without a purpose, and this action must have her deep meaning.

Since they were all so familiar with each other, it was not impossible for him to give Vanir some face. After all, they had all seen the other party's incredible appearance.

Refers to spreading legs in an M shape and rolling eyes.

"Okay, just tell me."

……

The next day, the adventurers on the Destroyer did not continue playing, but returned to the Adventurer's Guild.

By the way, there is already a temporary office of the guild on the Destroyer. Even the recruitment board has been moved there, making it a second guild hall. Basically, the only ones left in the original guild are some adventurers who don't like noise and entertainment.

However, this matter obviously cannot be carried out on the Destroyer. After all, this is just a temporary office and is not recognized by the country or the guild headquarters.

The [Mobile Fortress Destroyer] was subdued and even confirmed by the lord. It was impossible for this matter not to be known by the royal family. Coupled with the recognition of Yubel, the royal magician, even the lord had to hold his nose and admit this achievement.

It is said that national civil servants will come to distribute rewards today, just like the reward for the Headless Horseman before.

Early in the morning, the Adventurer's Guild was bustling with activity. Everyone was drinking and eating meat while giving Ethan a thumbs-up.

At this time, Ethan's status in the hearts of the adventurers in Axel was close to that of "Big Brother". Although he was not yet able to have the final say, as long as Ethan opened his mouth, many people would come up and pat their chests and say, "I helped with this matter!"

"coming."

Volume 4: Konosuba: God's Blessing on This Wonderful World! Chapter 37: Arrest

Ethan walked into the guild. Beside him, there was no royal magician Yubel, nor even Darkness. There was only Kazuma, Megumin who was caught by Kazuma with levitation magic, and Aqua who was yawning.

These three were obviously very unhappy about having to leave the Destroyer. After all, they hadn't enjoyed themselves for a few days when they were suddenly forced to go back to work. It was still far from a month!

"Boss, is there any urgent task today? Just let me finish it easily, and then go back to have a good soak in the hot spring and a sauna." Kazuma obviously knew nothing about this. If he lay down long enough, he would probably look like this.

“Kazuma, don’t forget our original goal: to defeat the Demon King and send me back!” Aqua followed up Kazuma with a barrage of words, “I seriously doubt you’ve forgotten!”

"Shut up, you idiot who's jealous and resentful of someone who can't soak in a hot spring and can only stay in the tub. Even now, you still think we can't take down the Demon King!" Kazuma pulled Aqua's face. "Who's stronger, the boss or the Demon King? Huh?"

"Well, this..." Aqua hesitated to speak. After all, Ethan's fighting ability was indeed a little beyond expectations. It stands to reason that he could overthrow the Demon King's Castle with just a push, but Ethan seemed very calm... Even so, he still easily defeated the Demon King's cadres.

Aqua suddenly understood the reality.

It seemed that she only needed to lie there, and sooner or later she would see the devil being slapped to death by Ethan.

Why was she so anxious? What was there to rush about? Living conditions were improving, so was she rushing back to heaven to continue working overtime and engaging in incomprehensible conversations with those nerdy Japanese otakus?

Suddenly, Aqua's obsession began to waver.

It seems like living here is quite comfortable...

As for Huihui, she had just finished releasing her daily explosion and was now lying dead, so it was irrelevant.

In the eyes of the adventurers, this [Mobile Fortress Destroyer] campaign was entirely the stage for Ethan and Yubel, and basically no one else had anything to do with it. Originally, they might have had some complaints, but the "free one-month trip to the Destroyer Resort Hotel" was so tempting that they immediately became Ethan and Yubel's personal fans. Damn it, just give him all the money. Anyway, they couldn't kill the Destroyer, so it was really worth it to be able to take a month's vacation.

Suddenly, the noisy guild suddenly became quiet.

Ethan seemed to have known what would happen. He remained calm and even smiled a little. His eyes were fixed on the black-haired woman wearing glasses who was walking in.

Behind her, there were two solemn knights. Judging from their aura, they didn't seem to be here to offer rewards, but rather to call for punishment.

Immediately, the adventurers in the guild began to discuss quietly.

Something is wrong. Ten percent or even nine percent wrong.

Suddenly, the black-haired woman's gaze wandered inside the guild, and finally stopped at Ethan. After seeing Ethan's face clearly, she showed a slightly surprised expression.

It seemed that he was quite surprised that the person involved was someone like Ethan.

"I originally thought that you would be a more... despicable person, but I didn't expect that you, who look so dignified, would do such a despicable thing." Her opening remarks immediately changed the expressions of many people except Ethan, especially Kazuma, because when she said the first half of the sentence, her eyes were clearly fixed on him.

Damn, why the hell are you looking at me when you can talk?

Kazuma immediately wanted to roll up his sleeves and rush forward, but was held down by a few old co-workers - his bad friends who had been drinking and bathing in hot springs together in recent days.

"What are you thinking, idiot? He's a public official!"

“Ah…” Kazuma stopped moving immediately. Regardless of whether he was right or not, he would end up in a miserable situation if he colliding with a public official.

Damn, just bear with it.

But, wait?

Kazuma and the adventurers watching then realized what the woman had just said.

What is a despicable thing?

"I'm Kingdom Prosecutor Sena, Adventurer Ethan! The state is arresting you on seventeen charges, including 'Intent to Subvert the State,' 'Treason,' and 'Possession of Dangerous Weapons.' You await your sentence. Please refrain from any unnecessary resistance."

As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar in the Adventurer's Guild, especially the workers who had just held down Kazuma, who immediately stood up.

"This is impossible!"

Not only Kazuma and the others, but also many adventurers stood up and shouted indignantly, "Absolutely impossible! Boss Ethan is absolutely innocent!"

"You must have made a mistake somewhere!"

"Even if I were to sell out my country, he wouldn't sell out his country!"

Suddenly, the guild was as noisy as a market. Kazuma, in particular, rushed directly in front of Sena, pointed his finger at her nose and yelled, "You stupid woman, do you know how much Boss Ethan has contributed to this town? You f*cking accuse me of something and still dare to talk nonsense! Also, what exactly is your dissatisfaction with me? I don't remember offending you!"

I got off topic halfway through talking about the classics.

Sena stared at Kazuma quietly and waved her hand: "It's the crime of insulting a public official. Be prepared to spend a year or two in jail."

"!!!"

Suddenly, except for Kazuma, most people froze in place, watching Kazuma being pinned to the ground by one of the two knights, completely unable to move.

Even though they are not happy with the situation, it doesn't mean they can really criticize others at the cost of their own future.

But of course they couldn't give up speaking for Ethan, especially the adventurers who had been having a great time in the past few days. They all cast their eyes on Ethan with anticipation in their eyes.

As long as Ethan gave the order, all of them could serve as witnesses to exonerate him.

Ethan got their meaning and just smiled.

From beginning to end, his expression didn't even change.

"For my sake, could you please spare my good-for-nothing friend's life?" Ethan asked.

"No, he just--" Sena was about to say something, but the words she was about to say were suddenly stuck in her throat.

A strong murderous intent instantly enveloped Sena, making it almost impossible for her to breathe. Even the two knights beside her could not feel it.

He would die. If he did not agree to his request, he would definitely die.

This was the first time in her life that she was so close to death, and that was just an adventurer.

However, she also understood that to be charged with these crimes, this man must be an extremely terrifying guy.

You can't afford to offend her.

"Let him go." Sena said with difficulty. At this moment, she was like a drowned person emerging from the water and was able to breathe.

Breathing in fresh air in big gulps, Sena's back was already soaked with cold sweat.

At this time, Ethan had already come in front of one of the knights, stretched out his hands, and waited for the other party to handcuff him.

But his eyes never left Sena: "That's right, you're going to arrest me, right? Let's go, don't waste time."

As if he was the one who arrested others.

……

Inside the Destroyer, Yubel smiled slightly.

"It's almost time, so I'll leave first."

She stood up, and her figure disappeared in an instant in a twist.
