The legend of the Crimson Demon clan started from Suqing

That day, the Crimson Demon Village was blown up.

【Demon King Army alert, Demon King Army alert. Anyone who is free, please gather in front of the Griffin statue at the village entrance. The enemy is estimated to be around two hundred strong, please hurry. Repeat, Demon King Army alert, Demon King Army alert — —】

Along with the clang of bells, such a broadcast sounded in the village, slightly grating on the ears.

If other towns heard such a broadcast, the residents would definitely be terrified, but this kind of thing is common in the Crimson Demon Village. The Demon King Army would come to harass them every now and then, leaving behind some comrades and then fleeing in defeat.

Everyone was used to it.

Following his sister's instructions, he dropped the small wooden stick, stood up from the ground, patted his butt, and leisurely walked home.

Although the Demon King Army's attacks didn't cause them any real harm, it was still annoying to be disturbed all the time. What if they attacked while he was having intimate contact with his girlfriend?

However, the others in the Crimson Demon Village actually wished the Demon King Army would come more often, so they could take the opportunity to exercise their muscles while gaining a lot of experience points to level up. Some even suggested turning the village entrance into a tourist attraction to boost the village's economy.

Truly mind-blowing ideas.

However, the Demon King Army is actually very dangerous in this world, especially since the Demon King Army's headquarters is not too far from the Crimson Demon Village. If you don't have any martial arts skills, it's really unsettling. Thinking about it... yes, it's time to make a plan to become stronger! Zunzun made up his mind, and then — —

Day 1

Playing in the mud.

Day 2

Playing in the mud.

Day 3

Zunzun, ah, Zunzun! How can you be so decadent! Have you forgotten the plan to become stronger that you set earlier? Mencius said: "Born in sorrow, die in peace." You can't continue to be so comfortable and decadent!

Day 4.

Playing in the mud.

... It's not that he doesn't want to be ambitious, but that the little days he's living are too comfortable. Inertia has been infinitely magnified, making people unwilling to become stronger. It is said that a gentle land is a hero's grave, the ancients did not deceive me!

"Zunzun, come take a bath!"

"Coming!"

Hearing his sister's call, Zunzun ran happily towards the bathroom.

And these leisurely days only changed slightly after the Crimson Demon Village was blown up again one day. The difference was that this time it wasn't the Demon King Army attacking, and it wasn't the village entrance that was blown up, but the forbidden area.

According to his sister, it was the seal of an evil god with the power to destroy the world that was suddenly lifted.

And in front of the evil god's tomb, there was a very large crater, as if the evil god, who had just escaped from the seal, was too arrogant, and God couldn't stand it anymore and dropped a meteorite, blasting the evil god into nothingness.

Zunzun didn't care about the lifting of the evil god's seal, but when he heard that a meteorite had fallen from the sky and the evil god had been blasted into ashes, he immediately broke out in a cold sweat. Even dinner tasted like chewing wax, not delicious at all.

Meteorite, another meteorite!

Zunzun inexplicably had an unspeakable sense of crisis. Meteorites are much more powerful than the Sword of Damocles hanging over his head, and the most important thing is that you can't see or touch them, and you don't know when they will fall!

Just imagine, you are living comfortably in the village, playing in the mud and singing songs, and suddenly you are hit by a meteorite. Who could accept that? So, at least he had to become strong enough to not be afraid of being hit by a meteorite!

Become stronger, must become stronger!

Speaking of becoming stronger, the first person Zunzun thought of was his sister.

He told her his thoughts.

"Want to become stronger? I didn't expect Zunzun to have such an idea at such a young age, as expected of my brother! Very good! In that case, Zunzun will practice with me tomorrow!"

"Thank you, sister!"

He was so excited to get his sister's permission that he couldn't even sleep that night, just like an elementary school student the night before a field trip... Although he was already old enough to go to elementary school, he didn't go to school because there was no elementary school in the Crimson Demon Village.

The next day.

When he was led to a small mountain and handed a small wooden sword by his sister, he was immediately dumbfounded.

"This is..."

"A weapon! Since it's practice, how can you not use a wooden sword? The first step of practice is to split this mountain open! Don't worry, little brother! I will train you into a powerful swordsman!"

"But the Crimson Demons are all born great mages!"

He knelt on the ground in a posture of disappointment.

Orz

Zunzun knew that his sister was obsessed with swordsmanship, and bought a wooden sword out of interest to carry with her, but no matter what, the Crimson Demons were all born great mages. What's with practicing swordsmanship?

Speaking of which, could it be that his sister thought he was just acting on a whim, or was using this method to play with him?

The more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

Seeing his brother's disappointment, his sister was a little surprised.

"What's wrong, don't you like it?"

"I don't like it! ... It's not that."

Fearing that his sister would be sad, Zunzun forced himself to change his words, but still said rather euphemistically: "It's just that it's different from what I imagined. Sister, aren't the Crimson Demons all born great mages? Even if we practice, shouldn't we be practicing magic?"

"Hmm."

His sister rarely became embarrassed.

At this time, Zunzun remembered that although his sister was twelve years old, she would not enter school until next spring.

She hadn't even opened her job card yet, and accumulating enough skill points to learn advanced magic was even more distant. How could she possibly practice magic?

In this way, it was understandable that his sister was interested in swords. She must have bought the wooden sword to relieve her boredom when she couldn't learn magic.

Not good!

He accidentally hurt his sister's feelings!

Zunzun realized that he had made a fatal mistake and immediately began to remedy it, while saying insincere words.

"I-It's okay, sister. Actually, practicing swordsmanship is a-also pretty good! Come, let's start practicing, the goal is to become a sword master!"

It took a lot of effort to appease his sister, who almost cried.

So Zunzun took the small wooden sword and chopped at the mountain wall all day, almost as if he was playing. Apart from the soreness of his whole body and the numbness of his hands, there was almost no growth.

No, there was still a little bit of growth.

If the system were used to display the values, it would probably be [Stamina +1, Strength +1].

... Isn't that almost no effect!?

No!

I can't go on like this!

I must learn magic!

Speaking of which, Konosuba is very dangerous, but it is actually quite friendly to novices, because they can change jobs even if their level is only one. There are even advanced job choices such as Archmage, Crusader Knight, Swordsman Master, and High Priest.

The premise is that the inherent qualities are sufficient.

The Crimson Demons are highly intelligent and have high magic power, and are naturally seedlings for Archmages.

"Job card, huh..."

The Crimson Demons only activate their own job card when they enter school at the age of twelve, and the only way for Zunzun, who is only six years old, to obtain a job card is to go to the Crimson Demon Clan Chief.

The Clan Chief who asserted that he would destroy the world when he was born...

Honestly, Zunzun's feelings towards that person were actually quite bad. Even after living in the Crimson Demon Village for six years, he still felt uncomfortable with such a comment.

But in order to become stronger...

Forget it, at least the Clan Chief didn't say something like "This child is so terrifying, he must not be left alive!" Besides, the Crimson Demons have always liked to exaggerate their words, and he should get used to it sooner.

Zunzun was actually quite looking forward to activating his job card in advance.

Because that way he would have enough time to level up like crazy, and it was not impossible to become the Sword God of Shili Slope when he left the Crimson Demon Village.

Maybe even when Aqua and Kazuma Sato descend to the lower world, they will find that the Demon King has already been defeated by him, and their expressions will definitely be very interesting.

Zunzun laughed as he thought about it.

However — —

The ideal is beautiful, but the reality is cruel.

When Zunzun, full of expectations, went to find the Clan Chief, fantasizing about becoming the Sword God of Shili Slope, defeating the Demon King, and perhaps even being called [The genius of the Crimson Demon Clan once every four thousand years] by others, reality gave him a head-on blow.

The request to activate the job card was resolutely rejected, and the road to becoming stronger was aborted before it even started.
