#403 - The Evil God in the Hot Spring
Having someone arrange everything is really convenient.
Ahead of everyone else, Arnes not only cleared away potential threats along the way but even took care of the hotel check-in procedures.
The group held the demon big sister in high regard.
Especially Kazuma Sato, who, after seeing Arnes wearing a swimsuit-like bodysuit, insisted on taking a bath with her later, only to be mercilessly rejected.
Only Aqua harbored prejudice against demons and remained sullen.
In this regard, the idiot goddess was consistently overlooked.
Previously, she had shown strong resistance towards Wiz, causing the lich girl, who only wanted a peaceful life, a lot of grief. After that incident, everyone firmly prevented Aqua from doing anything bad.
“Megumin and Yunyun, don't you two have any objections to her? I remember she chased after you before, and even wanted to steal Chomusuke, didn't she? Are you really comfortable with her?”
“Well…”
“Shouldn't we say it was our fault to begin with?”
Megumin and Yunyun looked embarrassed.
Back then, they had used Chomusuke to scam Arnes out of 300,000 Eris, and if they hadn't scammed her, she wouldn't have chased after them.
With a mistake on their part, how could they possibly blame Arnes?
“Darkness, don't you want to say anything? You're a guardian knight of the Eris Church, aren't you!”
“That's right… Even though Arnes took the initiative to subjugate the bandits, she was, after all, thinking of our safety. There's no reason to blame her.”
“That's not what I'm talking about!”
As expected of the perverted female knight, she had missed the point from the very beginning.
“Alright, alright.” Kazuma Sato soothed the agitated Aqua, saying, “Isn't she Yunyun's subordinate now? You should have seen her respectful attitude towards Yunyun.”
“That might be a disguise! Demons are a bunch of trash who are good at disguises. They're always plotting something bad in secret, and when you show a moment of weakness, they'll retaliate like crazy—”
“Your hostility towards demons is a bit too much, isn't it?”
Perhaps because the demons they had encountered, whether it was the succubus from the succubus shop, or Vanir, Wiz, and Arnes, were all relatively kind and friendly, Kazuma Sato felt that these people were good.
But in reality, Aqua's prejudice is the attitude that demons should have in ordinary stories.
“Since you're worried, let's test her.”
“…Test? How?”
Aqua asked foolishly.
Kazuma Sato, who proposed the test, grinned and said, “We just need to see if she's truly loyal to Yunyun. If she obeys orders, it means she's loyal; if she doesn't obey, it means she's disloyal.”
“Then what should we do specifically?”
“Later, Yunyun will ask her to take a bath with us, and we'll see if she's willing.”
Kazuma Sato made a shocking request.
“Kazuma, you bastard…”
“Demonic.”
“Lewd.”
“Scum.”
The girls couldn't help but scold him. Even Aqua felt that Kazuma Sato was too despicable and shameless.
“—Who do you think I'm doing this for?”
Kazuma Sato rolled his eyes unhappily, indicating that he had been misunderstood as a selfish and self-serving villain. In reality, he had originally said this method of testing for his own desires.
“Forget it, if you don't agree, then forget it. It's already very late, I'm going to take a bath.”
Kazuma Sato simply got up, but the others remained unmoved.
“I'm going to take a bath.”
“…”
“I said I'm going to…”
“Go already!”
There was no need to guess what this guy was thinking. He must have seen that there was a mixed bath and planned to go there to soak in the hot springs to take advantage of the girls.
Just as Kazuma Sato saw that his little scheme had failed and was regretfully preparing to leave.
“I'll go too.”
“Yunyun?”
“What, Kazuma, are you unwilling?”
“It's not that I'm unwilling…”
You should know that in terms of looks, Yunyun is second only to Aqua, but the only problem is that Yunyun is a boy.
His mood was a little complicated.
The two of them went to the changing room together.
Kazuma Sato quickly took off his clothes, threw out a sentence, “I'm going in first!” and quickly slipped away.
This guy is as timid as ever.
He was the one who kept clamoring to take a bath together, but now he's too shy…
Wait a minute, did that guy think I was a girl? That must be it. If I were a boy, I wouldn't need to be so shy!
Realizing this, Yunyun violently pushed open the sliding door of the hot spring.
“Kazuma, you bastard—”
He quickly swallowed the following words back into his stomach.
Because in the relatively small hot spring pool, besides Kazuma Sato, there was another red-haired big sister soaking in the bath.
The big sister subconsciously asked.
“…Is she an acquaintance of yours?”
“Yeah, a teammate.”
Kazuma Sato nodded casually, but his eyes were fixed on the big sister's body.
The big sister retreated a little fearfully, hiding the part below her shoulders under the cloudy hot spring water, concealing her body.
Yunyun slowly came to the hot spring pool.
“Kazuma, this is…”
“Let me introduce you. This big sister is someone I met at the hot spring inn in Alcanretia. I stared at her chest like crazy, and almost cried as a result. Because her chest is very big, I remember her very clearly.”
What a unique introduction.
And this guy seems to be quite proud.
The big sister also said with incomparable embarrassment, “Th-that… It doesn't sound right to say it like that, but I've only met you for the second time, and you're talking so freely about what's big or not, shouldn't that be considered so-called sexual harassment…”
“Because I've decided to no longer hide my true nature and live out my true colors!”
“When did you decide that?”
“Just now!”
Kazuma Sato's slippery and shameless remarks frightened this unknown red-haired big sister. She hugged her shoulders tightly and shrank further into the hot spring.
“Kazuma, you might as well just go die.” Yunyun, seeing this, could only say, “Sorry, did I scare you, big sister? Actually, Kazuma is just a lecherous man with the heart of a thief but no guts. You don't have to be afraid of him.”
“Even if you say that…”
Kazuma Sato's wolf-like gaze still didn't let the big sister relax her vigilance.
But she had a better impression of Yunyun.
“You… Haven't we met somewhere before? Red eyes and black hair mean you're a Crimson Demon, and Crimson Demons are usually in the Crimson Demon Village… That's right, I remember, we met in the Crimson Demon Village!”
“Hmm?”
Thinking it was a pick-up line, Yunyun raised an eyebrow, but after carefully searching his memory, he really hadn't met this big sister before.
“Big sister, you…”
“Could it be that you've forgotten? I remember you even told my fortune… Oh, wait a minute… I'm sorry, I seem to have mistaken you for someone else. Because that was a fortune teller I met a few years ago, and that person was a girl, and you, young man, are a boy.”
The big sister said this after carefully confirming.
Yunyun's impression of her increased greatly when he heard her say that he was a boy.
Kazuma Sato thought about it and said, “The person the big sister is talking about, could it be Yunyun's sister, Taelon?”
“It should be.”
Among the Crimson Demons, there was no one else who looked similar to Yunyun and could also tell fortunes other than his sister, Taelon.
The big sister sighed slightly.
“Actually, I came out this time to find my other half. A few years ago, when I went to the Crimson Demon Village to take away my other half, I found that my other half had already been taken away. But when I was about to leave, that fortune-telling girl told me that I would meet my other half in the royal capital, so I came.”
For some reason, she suddenly began to complain.
And Kazuma Sato also felt that what she was saying, the Crimson Demon Village's seal, the other half, etc., seemed like he had heard this story somewhere before.
“It's probably impossible to find it.”
“What?”
“Because didn't the big sister say it was a fortune from a few years ago? Why did you come so late?”
“No, that fortune-telling girl said to come here a few years later. She said I would meet my other half here, so I came.”
The big sister spat out this sentence.
“—Yunyun, is your sister a god!?”
Kazuma Sato opened his mouth wide.
It was one thing to foresee the invasion of the Demon King's army in Alcanretia more than half a year in advance, but now she had foreseen that the big sister would meet her other half here several years in advance. Even the all-seeing demon Vanir might not be able to see that far.
No, no, no, that's not what I should be thinking about now.
Knowing that this big sister had been to the Crimson Demon Village to find her other half, and that she had heard her say in the hot spring inn in Alcanretia that she had a friendship with Hans, a member of the Demon King's army, plus the fact that she was appearing here now, wouldn't that mean—
“No, I can't confirm it yet.”
Kazuma Sato said something inexplicable, and then, under the big sister's curious gaze, he opened his mouth and said, “To be on the safe side, it's better to confirm it.”
After pausing for a moment, he said, “Big sister, is your other half a cat?”
“No, my other half is not a cat.”
“Speaking of which, Chomusuke isn't a real cat either. At least, I've never seen a cat with wings. Then the second question, is it very cute?”
“Although I think my other half is relatively cute, it doesn't seem that way to outsiders, and it's also a bit violent.”
“Then it definitely doesn't like to be close to people, right?”
“That's not the case. It's especially close to lazy people. The lazier you are, the closer it gets.”
“…What, I misunderstood.”
After confirming one after another, Kazuma Sato wiped the sweat from his forehead.
He let out a heavy breath and said, “I'm the least lazy person in the party, you know. When we first formed the party, I was the most diligent, and I also consider myself the most knowledgeable and normal person in the party.”
This person has no sense of self-awareness.
The big sister also said with some regret, “Is that so? Then it seems I still have to keep searching.”
With that said, she got up to leave.
But just then, Kazuma Sato suddenly said, “Wait a moment, Wolbach.”
“Is there anything else?”
“—Arrest!”
While the big sister looked bewildered, Kazuma Sato jumped out of the hot spring and pounced on her.
