#270 - You are heartless, you are indifferent, you are unreasonable
"Hey! The letter said that the Crimson Demon Village was invaded by the Demon King's army, what's going on? Explain it quickly!?"
Kazuma Sato shouted in the mansion.
After Megumin read the letter, everyone finally understood why Yunyun was so panicked, only because Yunyun's father—the Crimson Demon Chief—sent a letter.
The letter contained a lot.
It seemed that a Demon King Army executive had appeared near the Crimson Demon Clan's village, and had led many subordinates to build a military base together.
Not only that, the executive dispatched seemed to be unafraid of magic, and they were currently in a situation where they couldn't destroy the military base.
The letter also mentioned that the Crimson Demon Chief had already prepared himself, betting on the dignity of the Crimson Demon Clan, and decided to perish together with the Demon King Army executive.
The letter also stated that the Crimson Demon Clan was about to be exterminated by the Demon King's army, and asked the last pair of Crimson Demons in the world—Yunyun and Dodonko—to continue the bloodline, only their children could defeat the Demon King and avenge the Crimson Demon Clan.
Speaking of which, did he forget about Megumin?
Kazuma Sato also noticed something was wrong, but this should be the father's farewell letter to his daughter, it shouldn't be a joke... probably.
"Wait a minute! Why only Yunyun and Dodonko, and why would they become a couple? What about me? What about me!?"
Megumin shouted loudly.
But it felt like she wasn't angry that the letter didn't mention her future, but rather angry that Yunyun and Dodonko were a couple, staring at Dodonko with scarlet eyes, her eyes filled with disappointment and anger.
Am I a scumbag!?
Dodonko scratched her head.
Darkness and Aqua were also flustered, seemingly astonished that Dodonko shouldered such a heavy destiny.
Especially Aqua.
"I knew Kazuma was a useless bum, he can't defeat the Demon King at all! But to let Dodonko's child embark on the path to defeat the Demon King, doesn't that mean I have to wait many more years? No way, I don't want that long! 3 years! I said 3 years, okay! Dodonko, you marry Yunyun now, have a child tomorrow, and in 3 years we'll go fight the Demon King!"
"You bastard...!"
Kazuma Sato was completely speechless.
He could accept being disliked by the idiot goddess, but to make a child who was only 3 years old fight the Demon King, she was even more black-hearted than a black-hearted entrepreneur.
Kazuma Sato originally didn't believe it, but the letter said that this was the result of a divination by the most outstanding diviner of the Crimson Demon Clan—Dodonko's sister, which led him to believe it. The experience of being doxxed back then was still like yesterday.
"Dodonko, you..."
Seeing everyone's expressions of condolences, Dodonko couldn't help but twitch her lips, took a breath, and began to explain.
"This is fake."
"Fake?"
Darkness and the others looked at Dodonko in confusion.
"Isn't this a letter from Yunyun's father, how could it be...?"
"This is just a special greeting of the Crimson Demon Clan."
Just like the K language of a certain Game King, it needs to be translated specifically to be understood, and both Megumin and Yunyun are excellent students who graduated early, so naturally they don't know this annoying red tape of the Crimson Demon Clan.
In the eyes of the Crimson Demon Clan, this way of writing letters is very cool, but in the eyes of outsiders, it's pure alarmism, even Yunyun and Megumin were deceived. After explaining it to them, they looked very speechless.
"When you receive this letter, I must no longer be in this world?"
"That's a seasonal greeting."
"Yunyun is living in poverty and is overwhelmed?"
"For the young chief of the Crimson Demon Clan, being an adventurer must be very hard."
"Then the Crimson Demon Village diviner—"
"Entrapping Sister wouldn't say things so directly, and she even named me—diviners can't predict themselves and their families very accurately."
Hearing Dodonko's explanation, everyone suddenly understood.
"And look." Dodonko casually placed two letters in front of everyone and said, "Look, the handwriting of the two letters is different, right? And the second letter... here, there's a handwritten signature."
"The Crimson Demon Clan Heroic Chronicle, Chapter 1. Author: Yougou Kazuma...?"
Megumin read the sentence softly.
And below it was written that because the postage was very expensive, Yougou Kazuma asked the chief to send his letter together with his own, and also said that he would send the second chapter after it was written.
"Ahhh, idiot Yougou Kazuma!!!"
Yunyun suddenly snatched the letter, crumpled it into a ball and threw it away, then leaned into Dodonko's arms and cried.
It's hard to tell if she's suffering because she was tricked, or because she can't make babies, in short, the two hugged each other intimately, making Megumin click her tongue in displeasure.
Darkness also breathed a sigh of relief.
"What, so it's just a fictional story... Hmm? Wait a minute, then what about the first letter?"
"That's of course real."
Dodonko said so lightly.
Probably the Demon King's army couldn't sit still anymore, after all, the Crimson Demon Clan was originally a thorn in the Demon King's army's side, not to mention that they are now allied with the Axis Church, if they don't do something, the Demon King's army will become the one being harassed and teased.
"The Demon King's army ah..."
"The Demon King's army is invading the Crimson Demon Village..."
Kazuma Sato and Darkness were somewhat silent, both feeling sympathy for what the Crimson Demon Village was experiencing. Aqua was already asleep at this time, this idiot goddess was really not good at these things.
"So, what to do?"
"I don't recommend going back."
"Megumin!?"
Darkness didn't expect that the one who said this was actually Megumin, the one being invaded was her hometown!
But Megumin turned her head and said, "Since Yunyun, the daughter of the chief, is here, then even if something really happens in the Crimson Demon Village, the bloodline won't be cut off. Yunyun and Dodonko, the two of them will carry forward the Crimson Demon Clan, so just think that way, all the villagers will live on in our hearts—"
After speaking, she snorted heavily.
What a strong smell of jealousy.
Even Darkness and Kazuma Sato could hear Megumin's unhappy mood.
But Yunyun, who was still immersed in these things, scolded her unhappily, shouting, "You heartless fellow! Why are you always so indifferent to things! You're heartless! You're cold! You're unreasonable!"
"You're the one who's heartless, you're the one who's cold, you're the one who's unreasonable! I already said it just now, Yunyun, you can't always see the situation clearly, the most important choice now is to preserve the bloodline, not to recklessly go and deliver yourself to death!" Megumin also shouted unhappily.
The two fell into an argument because of this.
It would never end if it went on like this, when they understood this, they turned their heads together and asked in unison:
"Dodonko, what do you think?" X2
"I... of course I'm going back, after all, Entrapping Sister is still in the village, how could I not go back."
Dodonko said this as a matter of course.
"Dodonko..."
"Tch."
The reactions of the two were also different.
Kazuma Satou and Darkness also couldn't agree. With Kazuma Satou's cowardly and cautious personality, how could he possibly want to get involved? Until—
"Speaking of which, there's a Demon King Army executive this time, right? Doesn't that mean we can easily earn 300 million Eris again?"
"— — — —! ?"
His eyes immediately lit up.
Even though Kazuma Satou had a lot of money, he was still very interested in money, unlike Yunyun, who didn't like money at all. Although the Demon King Army executives were all troublesome, with Yunyun around, things were basically safe. Wouldn't going out for a trip earn a lot of money?
"Ahem, I'm going too!"
"Kazuma? What's wrong? This isn't like you at all. I thought you were the type who hated trouble."
Darkness was surprised by his statement.
However, Kazuma Satou raised his head and chest and said, "I'm not doing it for the money, but because I can't ignore the Demon King Army's invasion of my companion's hometown! Everyone is responsible for defeating the Demon King Army!"
The more righteous he sounded, the more obvious his scumbag nature became. Darkness and Megumin were speechless, and even Yunyun almost couldn't hold it in.
"Then—"
"Ah, we'll all go back. You too, right, Megumin?"
"I, I… Hmph, don't misunderstand, I'm just worried about Komekko."
Megumin turned her head away tsundoku.
Yunyun wiped the corner of her eyes with emotion and said, "Thank you, Megumin."
And just like that, everyone decided to go to the Crimson Demon Village.
In the evening, Yunyun left the mansion to go to the guild. He remembered that there were many quests around the Crimson Demon Village on the guild's quest board, and the rewards were quite generous—all rare materials that couldn't be bought on the market.
Arriving at the guild.
Yunyun was welcomed by many people.
Subjugating the Dullahan, stopping the Mobile Fortress Destroyer (no part), subjugating the Deadly Poison Slime. With the addition of the team's many achievements, he had unknowingly become a celebrity.
No, he had already become famous before adventuring, by stepping on the Magic Sword Hero Kyouya Mitsurugi. It's just that he is more popular now.
"Yo, Yunyun, long time no see. I heard you guys defeated another Demon King Army executive, pretty good."
"…Dust?"
Yunyun pinched his nose and took a step back in disgust at the drunkard swaying in front of him, but the guy nimbly put his arm around him.
"Why are you so shy?"
"Shy my ass, it's the stench of alcohol on you that's annoying!"
Yunyun broke free.
The reason the small-time thug Dust came over was to take the opportunity to use the excuse of defeating the Demon King Army executive to treat everyone to a glass of bubble wine.
Yunyun didn't want to be entangled by strange guys, so he agreed, and everyone at the guild got a glass of bubble wine, as a late treat, earning cheers from everyone.
And when he was about to leave, Dust secretly stuffed something into his hand again.
Rectangular, paper, pink.
—It's a free invitation ticket to the succubus shop!
"Hey, I'm talking about you…"
Yunyun hadn't forgotten that Dust had given him an expired free invitation ticket last time, making him lose face in front of the big sister.
"This time it's not expired, I swear to the lamp!"
Dust raised three fingers.
He said that since Yunyun was so generous in treating everyone to wine, he, as Yunyun's good friend, naturally couldn't be stingy, so he gave Yunyun this treasured unlimited free invitation ticket.
Unable to resist Dust's enthusiasm, he could only 'reluctantly' accept it.
Leaving the guild.
As the saying goes, it's better to be lucky than early. Yunyun hadn't been back for a long time and had forgotten that Axel still had a succubus shop. Plus, he was going back to the Crimson Demon Village to face a powerful Demon King Army executive tomorrow. It seemed like the heavens were telling him that today was the best opportunity to enjoy himself.
Arriving at the succubus shop.
It was still the same as usual. Even if the lights were dim and turbid, everything here was actually vegetarian, and it wasn't expensive at all.
Looking around, he didn't see the middle-aged uncle he had a pleasant conversation with, and sighed regretfully.
Having been here once, he nimbly sat down in his seat.
The big sister smiled playfully at Yunyun's anxious appearance, and Yunyun blushed slightly, pretending to be a serious gentleman again.
He had already thought about it.
The mansion had a barrier set up by Aqua, and succubi couldn't enter at all, but the castle in the suburbs—the ruins originally occupied by the Dullahan—had been transformed into a secret base by Yunyun. He would go there tonight.
Even if he was questioned by his companions the next day, he could say that he had been making potions to deal with various situations all night in order to deal with the Demon King Army.
That way, not only would he not be blamed, but he would also gain sympathy.
I'm really a genius!
Yunyun's heartbeat gradually quickened when he saw the order form he hadn't seen for a long time.
But who should he choose?
After thinking for a long time, he decided to choose Yuugoukai.
Who told that guy to write such a misleading letter, making Yunyun cry so much? As her fiancé, he had an obligation to stand up for his fiancée and teach Yuugoukai a lesson—in a dream.
He scribbled a few strokes at random.
It's been more than half a year, Yuugoukai must have developed even more outstandingly, but it doesn't matter. Yunyun has the ability to absolutely foresee, he can calculate how much she has grown!
He quickly wrote down an exaggerated number.
"Okay! I'm done!"
"That's right, you're done."
"…Eh?"
A familiar voice came from his ear. He suddenly raised his head and saw Megumin and Yunyun. The two of them didn't know when they had appeared in the succubus shop, and they were looking at him with angry and resentful faces.
—Hehe, I'm done.
… …
On the way back.
Megumin walked ahead in a huff, unable to help but scold, "Unbelievable, really unbelievable! Yunyun, you would actually go to that kind of place, I'm really disappointed in you!"
She felt like she had seen her husband go to the red-light district, and her anger kept rising.
"That's right, Yunyun, it's too early for you to go to that kind of place."
Yunyun, on the other hand, looked like a resentful little wife who had been neglected right after getting married.
Yunyun didn't expect to be caught red-handed.
Speaking of which, would girls go to that kind of place? What's the difference between that and going to the red-light district? Yunyun wouldn't dare, it must have been Megumin who brought her. I have to say, this little loli is too reckless.
"How did you two find this place?"
"Mr. Dust told us."
According to Yunyun, they originally wanted to find Yunyun to discuss some matters, so they ran to the guild. With just a glass of bubble wine, Dust quickly betrayed Yunyun.
That guy…!
Just you wait, when I get back, he's going to be in trouble!
Yunyun swore secretly.
