Chapter 894: Succubus Bar
"I know, that's why you stalk her every day—not just during walks outside, but even when she's bathing or using the toilet..."
"Shut up! We agreed not to mention that!"
Green Broccoli glared at her furiously, warning her never to speak of it again before hastily running off without a trace.
It was precisely because she kept bringing up his embarrassing past that he disliked this loli!
...
Following the village's widest road, the group arrived at the village chief's doorstep.
Though called the most luxurious house, it was merely a two-story stone building—not even as large as Kazuma's villa in Axel.
"Mr. Nangou, Megumin, and everyone—you're all here!"
Yunyun appeared at the entrance with a pleasantly surprised expression to greet them.
She welcomed them into a house that seemed far from luxurious but couldn't be called poor either, serving them glasses of plain water.
"Sorry, we don't have anything fancy like black tea at home..."
She watched them anxiously, as if fearing they might leave at the slightest dissatisfaction.
"It's fine. Plain water is good for physical and mental health—drinking more is beneficial," Eiji reassured her with a smile while subtly signaling to Kazuma.
"Right, right! I love plain water the most!"
Taking the hint, Kazuma downed the entire bowl of water in one gulp, putting on an expression of utmost satisfaction as if the water were exceptionally sweet.
"I'm glad everyone is satisfied!"
Yunyun shot Eiji a grateful look, secretly relieved.
"By the way, what brings you all to Crimson Demon Village together? Is it about the Demon Lord Army's attack, after all?"
"Well, originally, that was the idea..."
Darkness hesitated, words caught between speaking and holding back.
"But thinking about it now, we underestimated the Crimson Demons too much. With their strength, even if the entire Demon Lord Army mobilized, they couldn't possibly destroy this place!"
When they first met, the Demon Lord Army executive Sylvaria had been acting timid, and later, Green Broccoli and Stockhold were even eager to confront an executive head-on.
If the enemy hadn't escaped quickly, they might not have been able to leave today.
The Crimson Demons' power was terrifyingly strong—there was no need for outsiders to worry.
"Didn't Yunyun's father say before that the Demon Lord Army sent an executive with high magic resistance? And that the village was on the brink of destruction or something?"
Kazuma let out a cold laugh. That had to be a joke, right!
From what they saw upon entering the village, Crimson Demon Village was entirely peaceful, with no sign of the Demon Lord Army disrupting its tranquility. The villagers were harmonious and joyful—nowhere could they sense any tragic atmosphere of the village hanging by a thread!
"Ha ha ha ha! That was actually just a seasonal greeting!"
As they spoke, a young-middle-aged man appeared before them.
He looked to be in his thirties or forties, with a neatly trimmed mustache on his upper lip, laughing heartily as he approached the group.
"You must be Yunyun's friends, right?"
"Yes, friends! Good friends!"
Yunyun quickly answered, simultaneously sneaking glances at everyone.
The expectation in her eyes was all too easy to read!
"That's right—we're friends, comrades who've shared life and death!"
Eiji declared with unwavering firmness.
Yunyun immediately beamed with joy.
"Oh my, how many years has it been since Yunyun brought friends home! This child is so introverted, I'm truly moved that she has friends like you!"
The middle-aged burly man nearly burst into tears.
"Don't do that, Dad! Crying in front of my friends is so embarrassing!"
Yunyun protested with a bright red face.
"Excuse me, what did you say earlier? Seasonal greetings?"
Darkness pricked up her ears in disbelief.
"That's right, Crimson Demon letters basically all start like that!"
Yunyun's father said as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
"Why?!"
Isn't this really misleading!
If you had told us earlier that there was no crisis, we wouldn't have come!
"Because it's cool!"
The father revealed a brilliant smile identical to Green Broccoli's.
...
The entire group, including Eiji, ultimately left with serene, enlightened smiles.
No matter what the Crimson Demons said from now on, they wouldn't believe them anymore.
At this moment, this feeling of being deceived surged wildly in their hearts, refusing to subside for a long time.
"Have fun in Crimson Demon Village, everyone!"
Bidding farewell to Yunyun's beaming father, the group returned to the streets of the Crimson Demon tribe.
"Let's go back."
"Alright."
"Feels like our enthusiasm has been completely drained."
At Kazuma's suggestion, Aqua and Darkness nodded in agreement.
"Wait, Crimson Demon Village still has many interesting places!"
Megumin quickly stopped them, trying her best to persuade them.
"Are there divine artifacts?"
"Uh... no..."
"Then let's go."
Even Eiji looked like he didn't want to stay any longer.
Different from Axis Cult followers, the Crimson Demons were another kind of people you didn't want to get close to.
This mentally ill tribe - even if they had so-called interesting places, there probably wouldn't be anything special—
"Fine then. I was going to tell you that there's a succubus bar in the village."
"What?!"
"Wha... cough I deeply condemn such things!"
Kazuma's enlightened heart instantly became restless.
This proves that a man's time as a sage is destined not to last long.
Darkness looked at Eiji's pretentious act with disdain.
Keep pretending!
Aside from Yunyun, who doesn't know you're just a pervert!
Oh, Aqua doesn't know either.
She's an exception - too stupid after all.
"And didn't you say you wanted to meet my little sister?"
After dealing with the male group, Megumin turned to the female group.
"I rarely come back. Would you really make me leave without even seeing my family?"
"Little sister! I'm in!"
"Well... Megumin's home, I'm a bit curious too."
Unlike Aqua who was instantly convinced, Darkness showed an embarrassed expression but was quickly persuaded by Megumin's emotional blackmail tactics.
Anyway, they would stay in Crimson Demon Village for one day.
Might as well treat it as tourism.
"You guys go ahead, we'll catch up later!"
"We won't disturb your family reunion time, Megumin!"
Eiji and Kazuma bid farewell to Megumin with serious expressions.
Then they put their arms around each other's shoulders and ran off with shining eyes, disappearing without a trace.
Megumin and Darkness simultaneously cast disdainful looks at Kazuma and Eiji, spitting fiercely in their direction.
The girls then headed toward Megumin's home.
Eiji and Kazuma were running wildly through the village like unleashed hounds.
Succubus Bar!
Where is the Succubus Bar!
Following directions from passersby, the two finally arrived at the "Succubus Bar."
There were no succubi, nor was it a bar.
It was an inn.
The only indication was the sign at the entrance bearing the words "Succubus Bar."
"&￥#@%￥#YT!!!"
"I strongly condemn this bait-and-switch behavior!"
Furious, the two unleashed a torrent of angry curses at the inn!
