the next morning.
After bidding farewell to Megumi's parents and leaving for work, everyone rested in the living room after breakfast.
Xiao Lin hugged his knees tightly and huddled in the corner, sobbing quietly.
"Ohh Ohh ohh……!"
"Okay, okay, stop crying."
Aqua stroked his head like a gentle and kind goddess.
The sobs were a bit annoying, and Hui Hui raised her eyes in displeasure and said, "Why are you crying all the time? I should be the one who feels unhappy, right?"
"But, but I...! Wuwuwu...!"
It was okay if I didn't say it, but when I did, Xiao Lin burst into tears and threw herself into Aqua's arms and cried loudly.
Actually nothing happened last night.
After all, the little loli wanted to take revenge for teasing her about her small breasts, and there was no other emotion at all, except for a scuffle.
In the end, Xiaolin used sleep magic to put her to sleep again before the fight ended.
Crying now is just to avoid putting yourself at a disadvantage and to stand on the moral high ground first.
Otherwise, I don’t know how I would be condemned.
Darkness instantly noticed Xiaolin's thoughts and scolded: "This is the so-called good behavior when you get an advantage. You can obviously have the ability to change the status quo, but you still pretend to be wronged. What a dirty man."
What are you talking about, perverted knight.
If she hadn't generated her own power last night and allowed Ms. Wei Wei to find a flaw, how could it have turned into the situation that followed.
And even if it’s nasty, he’s still your man.
Besides, don’t you like obscenity the most?
Sato Kazuma slapped the table and yelled at the little loli: "Hey, Megumin! I already understand that you are very hungry, but after all, Kobayashi-senpai is the most important companion of the team! If you can't bear it, then find someone I'm fine, I'm here to help you. ...Don't worry, my skills are pretty good too."
technology? What technology?
Do you want to discuss the forty-eight moves?
This guy spoke nonsense with a high-sounding face. If the following sentence hadn't completely exposed his ambition, he would have been fooled.
Huihui decisively refused.
"I don't want to. If I'm alone with Kazuma, I'll really scream for help."
"What?!"
It seems that Sato Kazuma's evil nature has been exposed for a long time, which makes the little loli not believe it.
After pretending to be aggrieved and crying for a while, Xiao Lin regained his composure. He still understood the principle that going too far is not enough.
Without the small interruption in the morning, I was free all of a sudden.
Another idle day.
Just when everyone was thinking this, Aqua suddenly said: "Megumin, Megumin. It's a rare trip like this. Why don't you take us for a tour in the village."
"What are you looking for? This village is at war with the Demon King's army. Do you understand?"
Sato Kazuma rolled his eyes.
The reputation of the Demon King's Army spread throughout Suqing.
However, I just saw the scene of the Red Demons ravaging the Demon King’s army yesterday, so it’s no wonder Aqua would say such a thing.
"I don't care. Anyway, there seems to be no problem in the village. In fact, it doesn't matter if I go back to Axel now. But since Aqua said so, why not just take a leisurely stroll in the village today and stay longer? It’s a good night.”
"Yes, you can also use [Dimensional Phalanx Shangri-La] to return to Axel. That's good. The return journey will be much easier."
Sato Kazuma looked happy.
For him, it was the best news.
After all, he no longer has to face the army of orcs who want to kidnap him back and drain him dry.
"Then with Zhen?"
"Well, there's nothing to do anyway, so I'll just go along with it."
The three of them reached a consensus.
Darkness said: "I want to go somewhere. I heard that there is a very skilled blacksmith in the Red Devil Village. As an armor lover, I must go and see it."
Sato Kazuma nodded again.
"That's it. What about Senior Xiaolin?"
"I'm going to Youyou's house..."
"——Darker than black, darker than the abyss of darkness..."
"Shut up!"
Xiaolin quickly interrupted Megumin, who was going crazy. She couldn't get over her obsession with breasts, right?
Wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.
Darkness asked curiously: "What does Xiaolin want to do when he goes to Yuyou's house?"
"Isn't the Scarlet Devil Township rich in skill point potions? I'm going to ask if I can buy a batch at a low price."
Kobayashi let go of Megumin.
After hearing the reason, the little loli stopped making trouble.
She knew that Xiao Lin was a real krypton gold player and often drank potions that could increase his strength. If he bought them in large quantities, the Red Devil Clan leader would probably lower the price.
"Look for Youyou by the way."
"——Darker than black..."
"That's enough for you! Isn't Yuyou our companion? We should look for her, right?!"
"Tsk."
The little loli clicked her tongue in displeasure.
Xiao Lin rolled his eyes and didn't care about her.
"Then the next step is to split up."
Megumin, Aqua, Sato Kazuma went sightseeing, Darkness went to the blacksmith, and Kobayashi went to the Red Devil leader to talk about potions. By the way, he met Yunyun and the team.
————
"Mr. Xiaolin, do you want to buy a large amount of skill point potions?"
"Yes. I hope you will lower the price a little, and I hope you can provide it stably."
"No problem. Who wants Mr. Xiaolin to be my daughter's companion? I will give a price that satisfies Mr. Xiaolin."
"That really helps a lot."
Xiao Lin is at Youyou's house at this time, discussing business with her father, the leader of the Red Devil clan.
Because he is his daughter's companion, and the red demon potions are not scarce, it seems that he can get a lot of discounts.
"Okay, the business is over."
Youyou's father's expression softened a lot. Sitting on the sofa, he lowered his head to Xiao Lin and said:
"My little girl has always been taken care of by Mr. Xiaolin."
"How, how could it be...please raise your head, say you are taking care of me, it is better to say you are the one being cared for."
"Oh hahaha, Mr. Xiaolin is really humble."
"No, that's the truth."
Looking at Youyou who was shyly lowering her head and not daring to look at anyone, Xiao Lin twitched the corner of her mouth.
He was really not polite.
Compared with the worry-free Yoyo, every one of the problem children in the team is hopeless.
And the most important thing is that Youyou is often affected and has to cover up for them.
In addition, a normal person living in a red demon town full of chuunibyou must have a very hard life, which makes me feel even more distressed when I think about it.
He looked at her with pity in his eyes.
"Oh?"
Youyou's father looked at his daughter, who lowered her head shyly, and then at Xiaolin, who looked cherished, and suddenly said this:
"Mr. Xiaolin, I wonder if you have any thoughts of marrying into the Red Demon Clan?"
"……What?"
Xiao Lin thought he heard wrongly.
But Yuyou's father said: "After all, I only have one daughter, Yuyou, and she is destined to become the next head of the Red Devil clan. I will not resist her marrying a foreigner, but she still has the important responsibility of inheriting the Red Devil clan, so..."
"Dad! You misunderstood, Mr. Xiaolin and I don't have that kind of relationship!"
Youyou suddenly blushed and interrupted her father's words, and at the same time glanced at Xiao Lin apologetically. It was just the shy and slightly nervous look that made Youyou's father misunderstand.
"Why are you so shy, my daughter? Your father is not a stubborn person, and he will never reject outsiders! If you are afraid that other people in the village will not recognize this taboo relationship, you will definitely do it even if it costs my life. Let you escape from here!"
Wait, why are you getting more and more outrageous!
What is a taboo relationship? What do you want to risk your life for? Is it necessary to be so exaggerated?
Thinking of the other party's previous chuunibyou in the letter, Xiao Lin secretly rolled his eyes.
"It's okay, Yunyun. Even if the Red Devil Township is attacked by the Demon King's army now... No, it's precisely because the Red Devil Township is being attacked now that it's the best time! Okay, you and Mr. Kobayashi will fly away together and escape to a place where there is no Demon King's army. After that, The Red Demon Village will definitely be destroyed by the Demon King’s army. But Yoyo, never take revenge! Forget the Red Demon clan, forget hatred, and live the life you want!”
"dad……"
Youyou was completely speechless.
Xiaolin patted her shoulder to express comfort.
The poor baby must have been tortured by the red demon clan's chuunibyou. It's not easy to grow up healthy.
Soon, the two planned to leave.
They realized that if they stayed for a while, more outrageous fantasies would unfold, so Xiaolin left first with the excuse that he still had other things to do.
He also brought Yuyou out by the way.
Even if the excuse was that the team had other arrangements, Yoyo's father still had a look in his eyes that said, "You just want to fly away." He also said, "I understand, I understand."
"Yuyou, can I punch your dad?"
"please."
"long?!"
Of course, this punch was impossible.
Leave Yoyo's house soon.
After walking out, Youyou quickly bowed and apologized.
"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, Mr. Xiaolin! What my father said just now must have made you feel distressed. I'm sorry, please don't pay attention!"
"Eh--that's it."
Xiao Lin let out a long, disappointed sigh.
This made Youyou dumbfounded.
"Mr. Xiaolin?"
"I thought I could really fly away with Youyouyuan."
"W-what does this mean?"
"Of course that's the literal meaning."
With a pop, Youyou's cheeks were instantly dyed red, and there was still a faint smoke dispersing from her head. The words he just said must have been too lethal, causing the girl's CPU to smoke.
Xiao Lin raised the corners of his mouth, enjoying the shy and overwhelmed look of the girl, and his mood immediately improved.
after awhile.
Seemingly seeing his smile, Youyou puffed up her mouth and said angrily: "Really, Mr. Xiaolin, don't tease me anymore."
"What if I'm serious?"
"Huh? Huh————!!!"
Their eyes met.
When the girl saw those serious eyes, she no longer knew whether he was teasing her or whether he really hoped so. I was at a loss for a while, and even my hands and feet became uncoordinated.
This was the first time I had such a novel feeling, and the seeds buried in the girl's heart began to take root and sprout.
————
The two planned to meet up with the rest of the team.
Using the ability of [Far Vision], I discovered that Megumin, Aqua, and Sato Kazuma were walking in a certain direction.
"Is there any sightseeing place over there?"
"Hmm... No, there is a clothing store. It is also the only clothing store in Scarlet Devil Township."
"Okay, let's speed up."
Unlike Sato Kazuma and others who were taking their time, Xiaolin and Youyou sped up, and soon they met not far from the clothing store.
After they met, Huihui didn't say anything, she just silently pulled Yuyou aside.
The two of them whispered.
Xiaolin really wanted to hear it, but he couldn't hear anything because Aqua's shouting voice was covering his ears.
However, Yunyu was too shy to speak, and Huihui cast dangerous glances from time to time. He knew that his life was not long, and he was prepared to receive a blast of explosive magic.
But no.
Huihui, who came back, just glared at him and said nothing more.
What does it mean?
"Okay everyone, let's go in."
Megumin greeted everyone.
This is a clothing store. There is an antique signboard with a clothing logo hanging outside the store. Through the glass on the door, you can see the majestic-looking boss wearing a black robe.
open the door--
"Oh, welcome...huh? Megumin, are the people over there coming from outside?"
As he asked, he stared at them with sharp eyes.
Aqua quickly hid behind Xiaolin because she was afraid of his sight.
Are they prejudiced against outsiders?
The atmosphere became tense. Just when they were so suspicious, the shop owner suddenly waved his cloak skillfully in the small shop.
"I am Chikela. As a great mage, I am good at using advanced magic. I am the leading clothing store owner of the Red Demon clan!"
"Does everyone here only introduce themselves like this?"
Sato Kazuma complained softly.
Behind you, Youyou showed a subtle expression.
After registering his name seriously, the satisfied store owner said with a smile: "Well, welcome again! It's been a long time since I've seen anyone from outside, and I've forgotten the last time I registered my number! Thanks to you , makes me feel much more comfortable.”
"I'm Sato Kazuma. The Crimson Demon Clan's leading clothing store. It sounds awesome."
"That's because I'm the only one in the clothing store."
"You're kidding me!"
Sato Kazuma couldn't bear it anymore and veins popped up on his forehead.
But the shop owner smiled and didn't care. This was already the custom of the Red Demon clan, and it was natural for outsiders to get angry if they didn't understand.
"Let's not talk about this for now, Huihui and Youyou, what do you want to do today?"
"Actually, I want to buy a replacement robe. Is there one of the same style as the one I'm wearing now? The one I'm wearing was given to me by Youyou, but it's always inconvenient to only have one."
"There happens to be a batch of these robes that have just been dyed."
The shop owner took them to the robes hanging on the clothes drying pole. These were all the same style as Huihui's, and of course the same style as Yunyun's.
"Anyway, wrap it all up."
"All of them? That Megumin is so generous. It seems that you are now a very successful adventurer."
"Yes, it's almost time for my name to be passed back here. And this robe is equivalent to my battle robe. Of course, the more the merrier. So, Xiaolin, please pay."
Hello……
Are you actually waiting for me here?
Xiaolin rolled his eyes.
It wasn't that I was reluctant to pay, but I didn't expect to be blackmailed by Huihui, and in this way.
Before she was about to say "You don't want what happened last night to be exposed," Xiaolin obediently paid for it and also bought a lot of robes for the other great mage of the Red Demon Clan in the team.
Even though Yuyou said she didn't need it, she still forced her to accept it because it was a welfare for the team.
Get constant thanks from the other person.
He turned to look at the little Loli and used his eyes to signal her to learn more from Youyou, but saw that she turned her head away and didn't want to speak.
This guy……!
"Hey, boss, wait a minute, why do you use this thing as a clothes pole?"
Kazuma Sato pointed to the clothes drying pole.
A rifle, to be precise.
It's about the same size as a clothes drying pole, and it's a long and big rifle that's full of pressure.
"Guest, what do you think of this? This is something that has been passed down from generation to generation in my family for a long time. It will not rust no matter how you use it. It is quite easy to use."
The shop owner said with a smile.
What's there to be proud of about a clothes drying pole?
People who don’t know it will definitely think so, but people who know it will just think it is quite mysterious.
Xiao Lin observed it in detail for a long time, and then said: "Boss, I will offer you 1000W Eris, please sell me this thing."
"...Huh?!!!" X5
Obviously, this exaggerated price scared everyone in the team, including the store owner.
