Chapter 991 The Last Routine 170
Although the two argued because the investigation made no progress, the Crimson Demon Village continued to promote the tourism industry during this period. Thanks to the great mage's excellent conditions and the slogan of reformation, the Crimson Demon Clan became a tourist hotspot for a time.
At this moment, Youyou's clan chief father was enthusiastically calling out to the passing tourists: "Dear tourists, please come to this stall! We have delicious grilled skewers, fried food, and snacks!"
Many tourists surrounded him, and this small vendor didn't sell any random goods. It wasn't the style of the Red Demon Clan; it was just normal, ordinary fried skewers and the like.
"It smells so good." A male tourist nodded in admiration upon smelling the aroma. "Although the Crimson Demon Clan gives the impression of being a strange bunch, it's surprisingly a great place."
“Right?” The female tourist who came with him said with a smile, as if she had planned the trip herself. She also said with a smile, “Let’s invite other people next time. Now let’s go see the rock with the holy sword stuck in it.”
The two left together.
"...Same as always today, lots of customers." Kobayashi watched the two figures gradually disappear into the distance, seemingly enjoying the atmosphere. He then looked at the numerous True Crimson Demons who were enthusiastically hawking their wares and couldn't help but sigh, "It seems like they've started taking groups recently."
There has been a noticeable increase in customer traffic.
However, Huihui stared at Xiaolin with a hostile expression and questioned, "Xiaolin, you didn't come up with this idea for the clan leader just to earn some pocket money, did you?"
"How could that be! On the other hand, the most urgent thing is to change the current situation as soon as possible!" Kobayashi said with a sunny smile, but whether he had actually done anything about it was obvious to everyone.
"That man...!" Huihui gritted her teeth in anger, but was helpless. She knew he was just a man of nature and there was nothing she could do about it. Then, she complained with some annoyance and frustration, "Speaking of which, even Red Prison has completely changed..."
The Red Prison is a school for the Crimson Demon Clan, but because of the desire to change their chuunibyou (middle school syndrome), it has been transformed into a good school for learning etiquette... It's clearly a good thing, but no one can laugh about it.
Xiaolin and Huihui arrived here to check on the situation.
"Oh, is this a self-created project?"
Visitors were quite surprised to learn that the Crimson Demon Clan had consciously improved its teaching philosophy.
"Yes!" The Crimson Demon teacher... no, the true Crimson Demon principal said in a serious tone, "In order not to be impolite to nobles, our academy has also created its own etiquette course!"
"Oh! That way, I can work in the capital with peace of mind!"
Another tourist said this with some delight.
“Of course.” Seeing how happy the two were, the True Crimson Demon Principal pressed on, suggesting, “How about you take the children on a tour? We also have experience sessions with our self-created courses!”
"That couldn't be better!"
The three walked toward the Red Prison.
This top-secret school, which was originally only open to the Crimson Demon Clan and only taught them how to become a true Crimson Demon Clan with the additional profession of Archmage, is now thinking of recruiting students from outside the clan and even teaching others how to get along with royalty and nobility in order to make a name for themselves... It's so absurd that it makes one wonder if the Crimson Demon Clan guys have lost their minds.
"Never mind, at least it's completely different from the magic academy that Huihui talked about."
I originally wanted to try to persuade her, but then I realized that things had already come to this point, so naturally I didn't know how to advise her anymore.
"How annoying...!" Huihui stomped her foot in exasperation, and said with some disappointment and regret, "The Red Prison is the academy of proud archmages, but it doesn't conduct combat training or improve levels. What kind of Red Demon race is that! Most importantly, it's open to outsiders!...Open to outsiders!"
"Really?" Kobayashi curled his lip dismissively and said, "Several monsters attacked yesterday too, but everyone fought them off properly, didn't they?"
"The monsters are alright, I'm worried about even stronger enemies appearing," Huihui said in a defensive tone.
"An even more powerful enemy..."
If there is an even stronger enemy, it can only be the Demon King's army attacking. However, the Demon King's army is hesitant to offend them due to the former prestige of the Crimson Demon Clan. Moreover, the Crimson Demon Clan has become more serious now. Who knows if they will really be determined to wipe out the Demon King's army?
Huihui was somewhat dissatisfied with his attitude and snorted, "Being so careless, who knows what might happen?"
"Yes, yes, with so many Crimson Demons, how could there be any danger—"
Beep—! Beep—!
Just as Kobayashi was casually making this perfunctory remark, he suddenly heard the alarm in the Crimson Devil Village ringing out urgently. It was different from the alarm in Axel, but it was clear that a major accident had occurred.
At this moment, You Gouhui stepped forward and called out to the numerous Red Demons, "Everyone, assemble at the village entrance! Enemy attack!"
"See, I told you so!" Huihui seemed to have guessed that this would happen. She said this somewhat angrily, then grabbed Xiaolin's arm and headed towards the village entrance, calling out as she spoke, "Let's go, Xiaolin!"
"There really are monsters attacking..."
Xiaolin couldn't help but complain.
When he and Huihui arrived at the entrance of the Red Demon Village, they found that Youyou's clan chief father, Yougouhui, Ruanhuhu, Dongdonggu, and the others had already arrived there.
Before them appeared an overwhelming army of demon kings, so numerous it was almost unbelievable.
"What?! This quantity?!"
"Hehehe... Finally, finally we can avenge Lord Sylvia!" The leader of the Demon King's army seemed to be a low-ranking officer. He glared fiercely at the Crimson Demons and shouted, "Crimson Demons, it seems you've recently joined the ranks of tourist attractions!"
“That’s right…” Youyou’s clan chief father said this straightforwardly, then looked at the leading Demon King’s army officer and asked, “But what does this have to do with you monsters?”
"We received reports from our companions near the village that you are no longer fighting with the same relentless ruthlessness as before. Even in combat training, you no longer slaughter weak monsters, nor do you unleash your full magic when they surrender!"
The leader of the Demon King's army said this with a sinister look, as if he had grasped the Crimson Demon Clan's weakness—their kindness. However, after hearing him say this, Kobayashi couldn't help but mutter a retort.
"I don't even know which side is more evil..."
"Stop joking! The enemy is about to attack!"
Huihui didn't seem to care about any of this. Speaking of which, there was also a Crimson Demon here.
The leading junior officer of the Demon King's army raised his arm and shouted to the majority of the Demon King's soldiers behind him, "Now is the perfect opportunity to crush you! Everyone, charge!!"
"Hohohoho————"
Upon receiving the order, the Demon King's army launched a frenzied attack on the Crimson Demon Village, their reckless attitude leaving everyone struggling to keep up.
Soon, the Crimson Demon Clan found themselves unable to stop them.
"Chieftain!" Dongdonggu shouted, "If this continues, monsters will flood into the village!"
"I know! Everyone, strengthen the defenses! Half of you are responsible for evacuating the tourists!"
"I see!"
Even with the monster army at the city gates, the Clan Chief was still taking care of the safety of the other tourists, even dedicating half of his manpower to protecting them—something completely unlike the Crimson Demon Clan! Indeed, under normal circumstances, the Chief's arrangement was correct, but the Crimson Demon Clan never solved things this way, and they always held the belief that if all the enemies were defeated, no one would be in danger.
Seeing this, Huihui shouted angrily, "Ugh! What are you doing! If you dawdle like this, the enemy will press their advantage!"
“The enemy is numerous, so of course we have to fight a defensive battle!” Kobayashi retorted.
"That's too plain! Battle is a grand stage, isn't this a great opportunity to defeat the enemy and attract attention?!"
"Eh……"
Huihui still holds outdated Red Demon clan ideas; in fact, her thoughts coincide with those of the Red Demon clan. However, for a tourist attraction, such a battle is not a good approach as it disregards the safety of tourists.
Just as Kobayashi was about to join the battle, his two teammates returned.
"Xiaolin! Megumin!"
"Darkness, Aqua! You're back!"
Kobayashi was slightly taken aback when he saw them.
At the same time, I was also a little happy, maybe they had solved the problem with Jizo and restored the Crimson Demon Clan to normal or something...
Huihui eagerly pressed on, "How's the investigation going? What's the solution...?"
“Sorry, there hasn’t been much progress.” Darkness shook his head regretfully and said, “I think I’ll have to go again. I’m sorry I couldn’t bring good news.”
"But it's okay, Megumin." Aqua comforted Megumin, who looked unwell, and said, "We've found the location of Jizo. Chris is helping us investigate and see what she can do."
"I see..." Huihui knew that there was no time to rush things, and the most urgent task was to resolve the current situation. Looking at the Demon King's army surging towards them, she said, "Then now—"
"Tremble, Crimson Demons! You are nothing to fear!"
The leader of the Demon King's army, a low-ranking officer, shouted this at them.
"It's a true Crimson Demon!" Green Flower Yezai loudly corrected the other's mistake, but then shouted with some confusion and anger, "What's going on? Why am I being suppressed...?!"
"That's of course—"
Megumin stepped forward, her cloak billowing as she shouted in front of all the true Crimson Demons, "You've forgotten the pride of being Crimson Demons!!"
"Megumin...?!"
You might see a little red demon girl appear out of nowhere.
"A newcomer?" This low-ranking officer in the Demon King's army clearly didn't recognize Megumin, who had shone brightly in the battle against Sylvia. He glanced at her with surprise but didn't care, continuing to mock, "If anyone shows up now, the Crimson Demon Clan is already finished!"
"No, it's not over yet!" Megumin's eyes shone bright red as she looked down at the low-ranking officers of the Demon King's army and shouted, "Because I'm still here! The strongest Crimson Demon...!!"
"This is not something one person can handle, retreat immediately!"
He said this to her softly.
"...No!" Megumin shouted without turning her head, raising her wand and yelling, "I'm going to use Explosion magic to make you remember what the Crimson Demons are really like...! Explosion!!!"
With a devastating burst of magic from the sky, the attacking demon army was completely annihilated. The leader of the demon army, upon seeing this, clutched his head and screamed, "All...all wiped out...?! This shouldn't be happening... Weren't the Crimson Demons supposed to have weakened?!"
He clearly couldn't accept this fact yet, but the dismembered limbs of his companions around him, the smell of burning flesh, and most importantly, the huge pit in front of him, all told him that it was real.
"Hmph, how about that? This is the true power of the Crimson Demon Clan...!" Huihui had just finished showing off her coolness when she fell straight to the ground, reaching out her hand to Kobayashi beside her and saying, "Ah, Kobayashi, please carry me."
"coming."
Kobayashi carried her on his back; although he didn't get a chance to show off, the power of the explosive magic was still evident to everyone. However…
You couldn't help but say, "What a mess... This kind of fighting style is unacceptable."
Dongdonggu chimed in, "That's not how a true Crimson Demon Clan is!"
"Yeah!" Green Flower Ye Zai shouted loudly, "I'm not a NEET anymore, but I understand now that turning the tide in one fell swoop is not the way to go. We need to fight more steadily!"
All the Crimson Demons disapproved of Megumin's magic and criticized her fighting style.
When Xiaolin saw them say that, he couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.
"So serious..."
It's not like the Red Demon Clan at all.
"Wait a minute, you Crimson Demons over there!" Aqua pointed at them with obvious displeasure. Despite not having done anything, she still spoke arrogantly, "You should thank Megumin properly! After all, you people were saved thanks to Megumin's magic!"
"Well……!"
Green Coconut Prime Minister looked troubled and pained. He said with difficulty, "Indeed, we've won everything so far, but this time we've encountered a tough battle, that's a fact..."
"And those sharp words just now, and the timing of the spellcasting, were fantastic, so cool!... Ugh!?" The patriarch's father, Youyou, also showed a pained expression.
Suddenly, a light enveloped him.
"Chief, are you alright... mmm!"
"Ugh, what's this... The feeling of thinking it's cool and the feeling of not being able to think that way are actually conflicting... Ugh!!"
Not only him, but also Ruanhu and Dongdonggu were enveloped in a strange light.
Then, all the true Crimson Demons were enveloped by this light.
"The bodies of the Crimson Demons are glowing. What is Jizo up to now?"
