The legend of the Crimson Demon clan started from Suqing

“I really shouldn't have come to another world! Start over! I demand a do-over!”

“I want a do-over too, you deadbeat NEET! I'm the one who should be saying that! Who wants to come with a scrawny guy like you who doesn't seem to have any redeeming qualities? If I had a handsome hunk with the air of a hero to cheer me up, I'd be so happy!”

“You bitch!”

— — — —

Kazuma was jolted awake by the receding sounds of their argument. He propped himself up, his head still feeling groggy.

As anyone who's been woken up in the middle of a nap knows, it's incredibly annoying. They have no consideration for others, shouting and yelling outside.

The locals are so unfriendly.

“Kazuma, you're awake.”

“…Megumin.”

He turned his head and saw Megumin by the window. She had opened it to enjoy the morning sunlight. Perhaps because they had arrived at the starter town she had dreamed of, and might soon see her 'master,' a happy smile graced her face.

“Where are we?”

“An inn.”

According to Megumin, because they had defeated two superior demons, the merchant leader had specially arranged for them to stay at an inn as a token of gratitude.

He didn't expect the merchant to be so kind.

After all, they were the ones who had attracted the two vengeful superior demons. It would have been understandable if the merchant had abandoned them and fled. But since the merchant leader had made such arrangements, he gratefully accepted.

“By the way, where's Yunyun?”

“Next to you.”

“Hmm?”

Kazuma turned his head and finally noticed Yunyun lying in the bed beside him. She was sleeping soundly, a blissful smile on her face.

“…Good night.”

He paused, wanting to lie back down in the covers.

“Hold on a minute.”

Megumin grabbed his shoulder, her eyes glowing slightly red, and said, “I'm hungry. Let's go get something to eat.”

“Please be patient for a bit longer. Can't you see Yunyun is still sleeping?”

“Yunyun took care of us all night last night, so I absolutely won't let you disturb her!”

“Let go, let me go!”

Megumin grabbed his collar, refusing to let him lie down. He really didn't know if Yunyun was his fiancée or hers.

However, their squabble still disturbed Yunyun, who groggily sat up and asked softly, “What's wrong, Kazuma, Megumin?”

“That…”

“Sorry,” they said awkwardly.

Soon, Megumin said, “We're a little hungry and wanted to go downstairs to get something to eat. Yunyun must be tired, so why don't you sleep a little longer? We'll bring your share back.”

“…No, I want to go too. It's rare for someone to ask me to eat with them.”

She said those heartbreaking words.

They went downstairs.

In places like inns, the first floor is usually a restaurant and bar, so it's convenient to get food.

However, since it was morning, there weren't many people around, but they were still warmly greeted by the staff. The three of them ordered the fried toad set meal, which was said to be a local specialty.

The taste was so-so.

Aside from not liking greasy food so early in the morning, and the fact that the food wasn't as good as what he could make himself, Megumin and Yunyun seemed to be enjoying it, probably because the food was novel to them.

In the Crimson Demon Village, weak monsters like giant toads had no room to survive; they didn't even have the right to be eaten.

During the meal, they discussed their plans for the future.

First, they needed to register as adventurers at the Adventurers Guild, then find companions, take on quests, become famous adventurers, and ultimately defeat the Demon King and become the new Demon King.

Megumin then said, “Because of my magic, I have to act with Kazuma, but Yunyun, it doesn't matter for you, right? Whether you find companions or go solo, you're amazing.”

Hearing her say that, Yunyun glanced at Kazuma and said, “W-well… after all, Kazuma and I are already in that kind of relationship…”

“Wait, what kind of relationship are you two in?”

“We have no choice but to adventure together!”

“So, what kind of relationship are you two in? Explain it to me, please!”

Megumin was extremely anxious.

Adventurers Guild.

As it approached noon, adventurers flocked to the guild to accept quests, making it bustling and boisterous, like a bar.

And that commotion was halted in the next second.

*Clack!*

Even though the door wasn't pushed open with much force, everyone paused at that moment, looking towards the entrance of the guild in unison.

Standing there were three people dressed as great mages.

Everyone watched as the three slowly walked towards the counter, and the adventurers who were blocking their path were forced back by the red eyes of the person in the lead, involuntarily making way for a wide path.

If there was something that could play background music, playing 'Young and Dangerous' would be a killer!

Unfortunately, there wasn't.

Kazuma smoothly arrived in front of the guild's most beautiful receptionist, who had broad pectoral muscles and wavy hair, and said, “Big sister, please register us as adventurers.”

The latest and greatest novels can be found on 69shu.com!

“O-okay…”

It seemed that the big sister was also overwhelmed by his aura.

Yunyun was the first to hand over her adventurer card. Although she was a little shy about being stared at by the people around her, she still endured it and didn't make a fool of herself. She had already done very well.

And then—

“Combat power, level three.”

…No, Kazuma was hallucinating.

The big sister didn't say that, and normally it should be magical power, and it shouldn't be level three, but level seven.

She exclaimed at Yunyun's stats.

“Amazing, it's the first time I've seen someone with so much magic power. As expected of a Crimson Demon!”

Hearing the receptionist say that, the adventurers also began to whisper to each other.

Such surprise was still too early.

Megumin couldn't wait to hand over her adventurer card, and the receptionist exclaimed again.

“So amazing, even higher than the little girl just now! Incredible, as expected of a Crimson Demon, both intelligence and magic power are frighteningly high!”

Megumin's lips curled into a smug smile. If it were to be divided, she should be combat power level eight.

“…Although not as good as that person yesterday, the magic power is still quite outstanding,” the receptionist suddenly said.

Megumin couldn't smile all of a sudden.

Kazuma didn't need to guess to know it was the idiot goddess Aqua. Only she had that much magic power.

Sure enough.

“That person couldn't choose a mage-type job because her intelligence was insufficient, but I remember she seemed to have chosen a high priest.”

“Oh, oh, that's the one from yesterday.”

“Yeah, what a waste, she's so pretty…”

No good, the limelight was all stolen by someone else.

Seeing the surrounding NPC bystanders start talking about other people's deeds, how could Kazuma allow it?

The one who appears last is usually the protagonist.

“Big sister, please register me.”

“O-okay…”

The receptionist carefully took it. Kazuma conjured an adventurer card from between his index and middle fingers like a magician. His heart began to beat violently, and the surrounding adventurers held their breaths, as if witnessing something.

According to the three of them having more magic power than the last, surely the last person would have even more, right? Could they successfully surpass that person from yesterday?

They were all looking forward to a miracle happening.

And then—

“E-equal… they're equal! The magic power is equal to that high priest from yesterday! ”

“Oh! Oh! Oh! ! ! ” x N

With the big sister's shout, the guild echoed with lively cheers.

These guys… are so cute.
