I don't want to be a heroic spirit

There is a reason why Nero said this, because when she became an adventurer, the counter lady Luna told her that there was a person who came before her with higher magic power than her.

As a servant, although Nero's magic power is only B, far from the highest A and the exceptional EX, it is not low. After all, if her magic power is low, she can't use the treasures like the inherent barrier at all.

Even the first genius of the Crimson Demon Clan, Huihui, can't have higher magic power than her.

The only one with higher magic power than her is probably Aqua, the goddess who was brought down to the mortal world by Kazuma.

Nero said that he might not have been an adventurer for as long as Kazuma and the others, which is indeed the truth, but Kazuma probably won't believe it.

Because the strength shown by Nero doesn't look like a rookie who has just become an adventurer.

Do you want to explain?

It doesn't seem necessary.

Kazuma was ready to leave with Aqua. The two of them mustered up their courage to make a name for themselves as adventurers. However, they were almost wiped out by a giant frog that even novice adventurers could deal with just after they left the Novice Village… No, they hadn’t left the Novice Village yet. They were severely frustrated.

Looking at Kazuma and Aqua covered in slime, Nero thought of Megumin who hadn’t found a teammate yet.

“I’ll give you a suggestion. Find one or two more teammates. Although more people will get less commission money, it will be easier to defeat monsters, and personal safety can be guaranteed… Four people is the best combination.”

Kazuma had thought of recruiting teammates before, because his only teammate Aqua was really bad. Unexpectedly, Nero also said so, which made Kazuma more determined to find new teammates after returning.

Before dragging Aqua away, Kazuma secretly glanced at Nero again.

The smooth hair seemed to be shining like golden sand, the bright red dress, the hem and sleeves were embroidered with gold lines, which made people feel very expensive at first glance, and the long boots on her feet were also golden in color.

She is really a super beauty, and she doesn't look like a beauty that would appear in reality at all.

Although the way she speaks is a bit strange, for people like Kazuma, this is actually her cute point.

She is so dazzling that Kazuma feels difficult to approach.

When talking to her before, Kazuma was so nervous that he almost bit his tongue.

If she were in the world he lived in before, she would definitely have a lot of suitors, right? Maybe the people who want to say a word to her can line up from Japan to the United States. An ordinary person like me who has no bright spot from inside to outside may not even be allowed to say a word to her, right?

It's very sad, but only facts can make people sad.

To be honest, this Miss Nero is a goddess, right? She is very beautiful and reliable, and her words are very convincing. Is the one next to me actually a fake?

Thinking this way, Kazuma glanced at Aqua beside him.

If this guy is sold, can Miss Nero become a teammate?

Nero doesn't have the ability to read minds, so of course she doesn't know what Kazuma is thinking at this moment, and doesn't know that the other party is comparing her with Aqua.

She was in a daze, wondering how Alice and Youyou were playing together in the town.

The reason why Nero let Youyou join the team is certainly not because of Youyou's combat power. In fact, although this team only has Nero and Alice, its combat power is definitely higher than all the adventurer teams in the world.

Alice is the strongest human combat power in this world, and Nero is a powerful servant with a record of hard fight against awakened people. She even doubts that her team can directly rush into the Demon King's Castle to fight the Demon King.

She let Youyou join the team because she wanted to find a friend of the same age for the two of them.

In the eyes of many people, Alice is the princess first, and then Alice, which makes it impossible for Alice to make a real friend. As the only normal person living in the Crimson Devil Village where everyone has a second-year syndrome, she can't make friends either.

Huihui should be considered a friend of Youyou... but Huihui, the dead tsundere, has never admitted this.

"Hmm! I hope the two of them can become good friends. After all, both Alice and Youyou are very well-behaved children."

Nero brought Alice out to fulfill Alice's wish. The wish to become an adventurer has been fulfilled, but making friends is also Alice's wish.

Nero, who was thinking, suddenly fixed his eyes.

Because she suddenly felt a strange magic power... and the object was approaching this side at a high speed.

A huge shadow covered Nero and the others, making them look up.

The huge flesh wings that blocked the sunlight, the dark skin with a metallic luster.

It looked like a sturdy body that could easily defeat an ogre, and its horns and fangs made it look particularly terrifying.

There was no doubt that this was a demon.

Even though Nero didn't know much about demons in this world, she could tell that this was a demon.

But she couldn't tell what level this demon was.

The huge demon landed on the ground, and the flapping of its fleshy wings caused a gust of wind that bent the weeds.

The demon lowered its head, and its eyeless eyes swept over Nero, who looked calm, Aqua, who didn't know why, and Kazuma, who was scared and had a livid face.

Then, the demon slowly opened its mouth...

"Ah, sorry, did I scare you?"

... The other party seemed unexpectedly polite?

Chapter 273 A moment of silence for the devil who was flanked by two goddesses

Nero showed a surprised expression.

Although the demon in front of me looks very ferocious and scary, he seems... to be a good person?

"Ah, please don't be afraid. My name is Host... Actually, I am looking for a dark and huge monster in this area. I want to ask, have you seen it?"

As if he was afraid of scaring Nero and the others, the demon who called himself Host said this in as gentle a tone as possible.

Kazuma and Aqua didn't speak, so it was Nero who spoke.

"A dark and huge monster? Are you looking for a beginner killer? There are many in the forest."

When Host mentioned the dark and huge monster, Nero's first reaction was that of the beginner killer he had defeated in the past few days.

It is a kind of black monster that looks like a tiger or a leopard. The reason why it is called a beginner killer is because it is very cunning. It often appears near a large group of novice monsters such as goblins or kobolds. If there are Novice adventurers come to attack these novice monsters, and novice killers will appear to kill these novice adventurers.

That is to say, it is a monster that is good at using bait schemes. Goblins and kobolds are its baits, and novice adventurers are the prey that are attracted.

"What kind of beginner killer? That's not what I'm looking for."

I don't know if it was an illusion, but Nero seemed to see a trace of disgust on Host's face.

"It's Lord Warbuck. It's Lord Warbuck I'm looking for. I smelled the nostalgic scent of Lord Warbuck so I came here, but I didn't see him at all... That's why I wanted to ask. A few of you."

Warbach?

Nero felt... he seemed to have heard of this name?

Host sniffed it again, and then looked at Nero with some surprise.

"It's strange, Master Warbach's breath... seems to be emanating from your body? Now, what is your relationship with Master Warbach?"

"Even if you ask that... But Yu Lian doesn't know who the Lord Warbach you are talking about is." Nero frowned slightly.

This feeling of having an impression but being unable to remember it, as if you are just one step away from the truth is really uncomfortable. The key is that the more you think about it, the less you can remember it.

"If you think about it again, the smell on your body is very strong, and it's still very new. It's almost the same smell that I picked up this morning."

Host bent down and looked at Nero, pleading.

"But I have never seen anything that meets your criteria, whether it's the one called Warbuck or the huge black monster... The only ones I've come into contact with this morning are..."

At this time, Nero was stunned.

She didn't come into contact with many people this morning. In addition to Alice and Yunyun, there were also Megumin and Megumin's familiar, a black cat with a pair of small wings named Chonosuke.

Because Megumin always forgets to feed Sonosuke, and a few days ago, she asked her teammates to leave Sonosuke alone because she went out to do a commission... A cat was locked in the room all day and almost starved to death.

Yuyou feels that Donosuke is too pitiful and Megumin is too rude, so she will let Nero take care of Donosuke.

Using the [Emperor's Privilege EX] to obtain the [Animal Conversation] skill, Sonosuke immediately became close to Nero. He would lie down on Nero's shoulder or head and take a nap whenever he had nothing to do.

Relying on the vague memory of the original work, Nero remembered that the cat named Konosuke seemed not to be an ordinary cat, but the half of an evil god, the tyrannical part of the god of tyranny and laziness.

"...I seem to know what you are talking about."

Nero said with a complicated face: "Among the people I know, there is a girl from the Red Demon Clan named Megumin. She has a black cat named Chonosuke... That black cat should be the one you are looking for. ”

"Jonosuke? Black Cat? And... the Red Demon Clan?"

Host touched his chin and thought for a while.

"I see, if it's the Crimson Demon Clan... Indeed, if that's the case, it's clear. Thank you for the clues you provided. It seems that if we want to find Master Wabak, we have to find this... Is it called Megumin? Where is the Crimson Demon girl named Megumin... Oh, by the way! Since you know Megumin and Lord Wolbach, can you..."

Host probably wanted Nero to bring Megumin and Konosuke to him, right? But he didn't have the chance to finish this sentence.

"The ultimate holy exorcism——!"

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"!!"

A bright beam of light shrouded the figure of Demon Host, and an extremely painful wail came from inside.

Nero glanced at the beam of light, then turned to look at Aqua who just shouted the name of the move. At this time, Aqua was still raising her hand. It was obvious that Aqua released the beam of light.

"What are you doing?!"

"Kazuma! Kazuma! Let me go! Otherwise, the damn devil will come out!"

Aqua was choked by Kazuma again.

"What are you doing, you idiot? The atmosphere was so good just now, why did you suddenly attack others like you were sick!"

"Why! Those are demons! Demons! They are the kind of demons from hell that take away your soul while making evil laughter! If left unchecked, these demons are a greater threat than the Demon King's army!"

"But...but that demon looks so scary. He must be a very powerful demon. What if you make him angry and cause us all to die here!"

After the light beam dissipated, Host's figure emerged.

Although there were no obvious injuries on his body, and only some black smoke floated from his body, Nero could feel that the aura of the devil in front of him was much weaker than before.

Exhaling a puff of black smoke, Host said weakly: "Is this... this woman covered in stench actually a high priest? But... that's not right, even the high priest's demon-breaking magic shouldn't have such power. … Just one shot sent me almost back to hell.”

The demons who came to this world from hell are not actually the main body, but only the body. The main body stays in hell. Even if it is killed, it will only lose one body and return to hell. Generally speaking, the higher the level of the demon, the more the body is stored. The more.

After thinking deeply, Host walked past Nero and walked toward Aqua and Kazuma.

"I don't like fighting. If possible, I still like to use a gentler way to solve the problem... But you are too dangerous, and you attacked first, so even though I am not happy... I want to solve it here Throw you away, unknown high priest."

Host's words made Kazuma look horrified.

"It's all...it's all your fault! Who asked you to suddenly attack the other party! It's normal for people who are not hostile to be angry when you make them like this! It's over, it's over, I'm really going to die this time! It's your fault, hurry up and follow Please apologize! Maybe if you apologize, they will let us go!”

"Are you kidding me! Asking this goddess to apologize to an evil demon? This is more disgusting than letting me be eaten by a frog!"

"You have already been eaten by a frog! So apologize to me quickly!"

"I don't!"

Host is not an ordinary demon, as can be seen from the fact that he can withstand one of Aqua's demon-breaking spells, but he is still far from Nero.

It would not be difficult for Nero to save Kazuma and Aqua.

However, she had no chance to save anyone.

I saw a black shadow appearing out of nowhere, rushing straight towards Host at an extremely fast speed.

With Nero's eyesight, she could clearly see that the black figure was actually a girl with short silver hair, a scar on her cheek, and a flat figure like a boy.

The silver-haired girl who suddenly appeared seemed to have only the demon Host in her eyes, with a frosty face and a silver dagger in her hand that was obviously not simple at first glance.

"Destroy all demons!"

"Where did you come from...it hurts! What's wrong with your dagger? Is it enchanted? Or some kind of cursed item? Why do I feel paralyzed when I touch it? I feel the strong resentment from it that I swear to kill the devil! "

"You devil, don't open your mouth to pollute the air here! I want the devil to die!"

"Listen to what I'm saying, you crazy bitch! You..."

"The ultimate divine exorcism!"

Aqua got away while Kazuma was attracted by the sudden appearance of the silver-haired girl, and raised her hand towards Host at the right moment.

"Again?! Ahhhhhhhhh-!!"

Chapter 274 Caught by Darkness

Host ran away.

It's really outrageous that this demon can still escape alive when faced with the fierce pursuit of two goddesses.

Yes, the silver-haired girl who suddenly appeared and attacked Host without saying a word is also a goddess. Her name is Chris, and she is the incarnation of Eris, the goddess of luck, in this world.

And she is Aqua's descendant.
