Chapter 658: Red Demon Tribe Special Fortress
"Okay, what should I do?"
"If Mimi doesn't see my explosion magic tomorrow, she will never give that thing to us."
"Then just tell her the truth..."
"I'd rather die!"
Huihui’s eyes were red.
She stubbornly stated that if her sister knew that she couldn't use explosion magic, it would be no different from letting her die.
I have a headache.
Is there any way to use explosion magic...
How is that possible!
“Meihui, your level has dropped, right? How many skill points do you still need to learn Explosion Magic? If I work hard to level up tonight…”
"No drama, no drama."
Huihui waved her hands and said, “I’m a high-level job. Although I’m only three skill points short, I still need a lot of experience points. Besides, the monsters near the Crimson Devil Village are very powerful. We can’t handle them at all. And one night is too short.”
Good news: three skill points.
Bad news: no upgrades.
Hmmmm--
What should I do? !
Xiaolin scratched his head, seemingly unable to think of a solution.
Aqua asked stupidly, “Why are you so upset? It’s okay even if Megumin doesn’t use Explosion Magic.”
"I say, do you really understand the current situation?"
“Aqua, if Megumin doesn’t use Explosion Magic, Mimi won’t agree to give us the materials.”
"I know!"
Kobayashi and Darkness looked at her like she was an idiot, which made her stamp her feet in dissatisfaction.
“What I mean is that even if Megumin doesn’t use Explosion Magic, it can still have the same effect, right? Didn’t you forget that Megumin created fireworks that were as powerful as Explosion Magic in SAO?”
"Oh, that!"
It really woke me up from my dream.
Magic cannot be used in SAO, and Huihui is a person who feels like ants crawling all over her body if she doesn't use explosion magic for a day. She has made many attempts to be able to use explosion magic.
In the end, fireworks became her comfort.
“That’s a good idea…”
"Indeed. Fireworks are somewhat different from explosion magic, but if you work hard, you can still create similar effects."
"Right! And it's very useful!"
Aqua held her head high in triumph.
Xiao Lin frowned slightly and said, "This is indeed a good idea, but how do you make fireworks? In SAO, fireworks are not made bit by bit, but with the help of a system."
"No, no, no, Xiaolin, have you forgotten about me? I'm Aqua, the goddess of water. Aren't fireworks easy for me to catch?!"
Aqua looked as if she had handed it to her.
By the way, you know that you are the goddess of water. I would have thought you were the goddess of fireworks.
"The problem is solved. Then go and do it. Why did you call me?"
"Because we don't have the materials! Fireworks don't just appear out of thin air!"
"This reason is so normal that it is hard to refuse."
So the four of them spent the whole night collecting materials, and finally made the fireworks at dawn.
“Okay! Then all Huihui needs to do is pretend, and I’ll light the fireworks when the time is right.”
“…Aqua, is this okay? We don’t need to do an experiment first…”
"I don't have the time. We only made one in the whole night. If we do experiments, won't the villagers find out?"
Aqua seemed to believe in herself.
Well, since she is so confident.
the next day.
"——Explosion!"
After Aqua secretly lit the fireworks, Huihui seized the opportunity to pretend to chant magic, and finally a violent explosion followed.
"Oh oh oh!!!"
Kobayashi and others clapped their hands.
It seemed like he was cheering for Huihui's magic, but actually he was cheering for Aqua's craftsmanship. The fireworks made by this guy were so realistic that they could be mistaken for real explosion magic.
She is indeed a goddess of talent!
Seeing this, Huihui also relaxed.
She smiled and said to Mimi, "How's it going, Xiaomi! Did you see my fireworks?!"
"Wow! Sister, you're so awesome! Your fireworks are indeed the most beautiful! I want to see more!" Mimi shouted happily.
She didn't notice at all.
Huihui was talking about fireworks, and in the past she would fall to the ground immediately after releasing explosion magic, but this time she stood there calmly.
"Hmm, it should be a pretty good explosion magic, right?"
"very good!"
Xiaolin gave her a thumbs up.
Even though it was fake, Huihui was trying very hard, just like she usually does when she casts explosion magic.
At this time, Aqua came over.
"Mimi, you will give us the treasure as agreed."
"Well, but... I still want to see a more handsome sister..."
"Hey, Xiaolin! This is a little different from what we agreed on?!"
Aqua was immediately unhappy.
No, I didn't say I'd change the Explosion Magic once...
“A more handsome Megumin?”
Darkness sighed slightly.
Huihui also said with some disappointment: “Are you saying that the current explosion magic is not enough...! Even though she is my sister, she is really scary!”
Could it be that she has already seen through the flaw?
Everyone couldn't help but speculate so.
Darkness said, “Let’s go back and study the battle plan first. It’s hard to use explosion magic today anyway, right?”
She seemed to be reminding everyone to take this opportunity to stop.
Normally, explosion magic was unusable, and not only that, they were out of fireworks in stock.
In other words, just like Explosion Magic, it has no effect.
Xiaolin, however, plans to act out the whole thing.
“Come on, Huihui, absorb the touch.”
"Okay, Xiaolin...thank you for your magic, oh yeah?"
“What’s wrong, Huihui, have you thought of anything?”
Seeing her stunned, Darkness became curious.
Huihui shook her head and pointed to a place in front of her and said, “No, I think I heard some strange noises over there.”
"Strange noise?"
Everyone looked over there with confusion.
It was a place similar to ruins, surrounded by wooden stakes and resembling a courtyard.
"… Come to think of it, what does that ruin say? I don't really care about it though."
"It is said that this fortress was built in the past to fight against the Demon King's army. In fact, it seems that it has been left here unused without being used."
Huihui explained.
Xiaolin became even more curious.
"Not using it? If it's there, why not use it?"
"Because we can drive away the Demon King's army by continuously using advanced magic, there is no need to do such troublesome things as guarding the fortress."
Huihui said this as a matter of course.
To be honest, the Crimson Demons are too scary.
No, he had already seen the grand scene when Sylvia came to harass him before...
At this time, Huihui continued.
"It was built before I was born, so there shouldn't be any sound there."
There was curiosity in her tone.
"I see……"
Xiao Lin nodded and said to everyone, "Let's first confirm what the sound is. It would be bad if there is anything strange, okay?"
"no problem."
"Ah, yes."
Megumin and Darkness agreed immediately.
Only Aqua complained slightly, "Xiaolin, please go back quickly! I want to take a bath before eating!"
Xiaolin was very considerate of her.
After all, I was busy last night and didn’t have a good rest.
But he really couldn't feel at ease until he found out the truth.
"Wait a moment!" Xiao Lin shouted to her, "I heard some noise. Go check out the ruins over there!"
"Hey! Never mind, let's go back!"
"If there's nothing, go back right away. You just have to wait a moment! Anyway, it must be the rocks shaking in the wind or something. It must be like this—"
Xiaolin looked unimpressed.
But at this moment, a bee-like thing appeared in front of him.
"what……"
"Uh!"
"Well!"
Several people were stunned on the spot.
Xiao Lin immediately shouted to his companions: "Okay, there is no problem, let's go back today."
"No, isn't it right there?"
Huihui grabbed Kobayashi’s shoulder as he tried to leave, and shouted, “Or, are you planning to just leave and go back?”
"I'm already exhausted from doing all sorts of things today! How can I be its opponent?"
Xiao Lin also started to curse.
"I, that monster is taking an attacking stance, huh?"
Aqua tugged at his clothes in fear.
"Oh, really! There's no time to escape!" Xiaolin scratched his head in pain and shouted, "They're about to attack, be careful!"
This monster is more difficult than expected.
In the end, they were able to kill the monster with the help of Liu Zi.
"That was a close call. Fortunately, Liu Zi helped me, otherwise I don't know what would have happened." Kobayashi wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"But where did this monster come from?"
"It really came from that ruins!"
Aqua shouted at Megumin’s question, but Megumin shook her head in denial.
"No, although it is left here idle, it shouldn't be a place where monsters like this would appear."
"It must have come from the fortress, right? Then where did it get in?"
Xiaolin was also slightly curious.
Darkness said, “Wait a minute, Xiaolin. It’s fine if you want to think, but let’s go back to Huihui’s house first. It’s too dangerous to take Xiaomei with you. If she’s attacked again, she might get hurt.”
Oh!
Almost forgot.
Mimiko is still following them.
Although he didn't think Mimi would get hurt with Liu Zi around, there were always times when she wasn't paying attention. In order to avoid being blamed by Piao Sanlang, it would be better to take her back to the village first.
"Okay, anyway, let's go back to the village."
The group returned to the village.
evening.
Piao Sanlang came back and heard about this.
“I see. Megumin and the others encountered some strange monsters in that fortress.”
"I was shocked to see something like that suddenly appear in the fortress. What on earth is that?"
Huihui complained slightly.
Piao Saburo shook his head and said, "I don't know either. To be honest, there has been a sudden increase in such sightings recently. They say that they suddenly appear near the village and cause trouble for others. The tribe leader also said that if we see them, we should try to eliminate them."
Like treating a pest.
During Axel's festival, Kobayashi and his friends organized an activity to get rid of cicadas, and it seems that the bees are doing the same this time.
"Anyway, I hope everyone is okay."
Piao Saburo patted Mimi's head and said, "I will notify the vigilante group later. Everyone should go to bed early."
After saying that, he left home.
Huihui breathed a sigh of relief and said, “Now, we can leave the rest to them. Even though everyone in the Vigilante Group is a nerd, their strength should not be underestimated. Don’t worry, everything will be resolved tomorrow.”
I'm curious about that otaku NEET.
By the way, are there people in the Crimson Demon Tribe who just eat and wait to die?
Xiao Lin also sighed: "I never thought the same thing would happen."
"As for the vigilante group, this matter should be handled by Green Coconut Killer, right? They are quite capable and should be able to resolve it quickly."
Huihui mistakenly thought that Xiaolin was worried, so she continued to explain.
At this time, Mimi felt a little lost.
Hui Hui asked curiously, "Hmm? What's wrong, Mimi?"
"Sisters, can you go and defeat the same guy as before?" Mimi suddenly said.
"Eh?"
"Because, sister, they are not enemies at all, right? They can be dealt with in one go, right?"
"Yeah, leave it to me! Sister and my companions will handle it in no time!"
Under her sister’s expectant gaze, Huihui suddenly said this in a cool way.
"Wow! Sister is so awesome!"
Mimi clapped her hands with great joy.
“Hey, Huihui, come here for a moment.”
“What, what’s wrong, Xiaolin? What weird things did I say…Ahhh, don’t, don’t drag me away!”
Xiaolin pulled her aside.
Came outside with my companions.
Xiao Lin pressed her head and scolded loudly: "Why did you make a decision without permission? Leave it to the vigilante group. We should find a way to get Xiaomi's treasure! And..."
You can't use explosion magic now!
Kobayashi didn't say this because he was afraid of hurting Huihui's self-esteem.
Huihui also curled her lips.
"There's nothing I can do. Did you see the look in Xiaomi's eyes? I can't let her down!"
"Even so. Getting that material from Xiaomi is the top priority. Do you have time to expel the pests from the village?"
“Well… that’s true.”
Huihui seemed to have discovered this problem as well.
Darkness, however, said, contrary to her usual attitude: “No, this might be a good opportunity.”
"What do you mean by good opportunity?"
“To satisfy Xiao Mi. Today’s explosion magic didn’t satisfy her. If we can let her see the handsome side of Hui Hui through this monster incident, maybe she will give us the part, right?”
Darkness said so.
Hui Hui immediately said proudly: “We can solve it in style!”
"Yes. Fortunately, we have information that no one in the village knows."
"Eh? Is there such a thing?"
There was clear stupidity in Aqua's eyes.
"It came out of that fortress, right?"
"Well, if we can explore the fortress before the vigilante group goes out, we might be able to find the source of those monsters."
“…Okay, let’s do as Darkness says!”
Kobayashi made the decision immediately.
