#399 - Tights Devil in the Mirror
“Alright! Everyone, I'm ready! Let's go find trouble!”
When Aqua returned to the mansion, she was fully armed.
She wore the Axis Church priest's hat on her head, held a crystal ball in her left hand, a bottle of holy water in her right, many bars of soap were strapped to her upper body, and she wore shoes with strange patterns drawn on them.
Cecily beside her (a beautiful but unfortunate blonde who likes to eat agar slime and has designs on Kazuma), was also dressed in a similarly bizarre fashion.
“Come on, this time I will definitely purify that garbage demon!”
“You're so cool, Lady Aqua! You can definitely do it! And then, according to our previous agreement, after rescuing Kazuma, he will be with me… *slurp*… Hehe… Hehehe…!”
“No problem, I agree!”
This idiot goddess was particularly indulgent towards her followers, even giving Kazuma to Cecily without even consulting Kazuma himself.
“What are you guys dawdling about? Hurry up and let's go!”
Aqua couldn't help but urge her companions when she saw them sitting motionless on the sofa. But Kazuma just glanced at her and turned over to face her with the back of his head, while Megumin and Yunyun continued to play chess.
“Hey—!”
“Why go? We're already back.”
Kazuma said in a muffled voice, his face buried in the sofa.
The fully prepared Aqua was dumbfounded.
“Actually, while Aqua was preparing, we already went to Wiz's magic item shop.” Darkness said a little embarrassedly, “Look, isn't Kazuma not here?”
“Then, Kazuma seemed to have reached some kind of deal with Vanir, so we came back.”
“Reached a deal…?”
Aqua looked at Yunyun in disbelief.
“Wait a minute, what do you mean by reaching a deal? What kind of deal did you reach?”
“Who knows!”
Kazuma was also a little annoyed by the questioning, complaining, “Kazuma didn't say anything, just told us that it was a very worthwhile deal and that he would explain it to us when he got back.”
“But that's 2 billion Eris… No! Kazuma must have been bewitched by that demon, I'm going to save him!”
Aqua has a great obsession with huge deposits, and she values it more than anything, even though it's not her money.
“Get back here!”
“Don't pull on my collar!”
Just as the idiot goddess was about to run out, Kazuma grabbed her by the collar and dragged her back.
“Kazuma, that's 2 billion Eris! 2 billion! Aren't you angry? If that garbage demon had done his job earlier, you wouldn't have to bear the debt of 2 billion!”
“Of course I know that!”
Kazuma was sulking just now because of this matter. If the negotiation went smoothly, he wouldn't have to take out 2 billion Eris, and maybe he could have become even richer.
“But Aqua, think about it carefully.”
“Think about what?”
“Since Kazuma thinks this is a worthwhile deal, then that means the things Vanir prepared are worth 2 billion Eris… Don't you think it's something to look forward to?”
“Now that you mention it…”
Aqua also reacted, and then said with shining eyes, “Kazuma, Kazuma!”
“Yes, I'm Kazuma.”
“How should I put it, I suddenly started looking forward to it too!”
“You're hopeless.”
Kazuma looked at the idiot goddess who was always changing her mind and could only sigh helplessly, but then added, “Although it has nothing to do with you, Aqua.”
“…Why?”
“Because that's Kazuma's money, it has nothing to do with you.”
“That's not true, Kazuma.” Aqua patted her chest and said shamelessly, “We're a party, which means that the property is shared, so Kazuma's money is also my money, and you are all my followers, you should offer and love me.”
“Yes! Lady Aqua, I have always believed in you!”
Apart from Cecily, the others in the party treat this guy as an idiot.
“I want to make something clear to you, Aqua, while we have the chance.”
“Say what?”
“If… I mean, if… in this world, you had to choose to join the Demon King's army or the Axis Church to survive, then I would definitely join the Demon King's army without hesitation, do you hear me!?”
“Whyyyyyyyy—!”
The idiot goddess's wail broke through the sky.
On the other side.
Kazuma and Vanir were still in the basement, preparing to successfully summon the demon Eris.
“Before that, I have asked my best friend Maxwell to distort the effect of the summoning mirror, so that it can only summon hellish creatures.”
“Maxwell—the demon who distorts reality, can he do that?”
“He's a Duke of Hell, after all.”
Vanir spread his hands, not knowing if he was alluding to his own identity, and then continued to speak.
“But it's still impossible to summon a specific one. Then there's the additional after-sales service. I will accompany you to summon the demon you want to summon, okay?”
“…That's quite an exaggerated after-sales service.”
Kazuma was also taken aback by his dedication.
Wanting to use it when you are not a sacred treasure holder requires a certain price, not to mention summoning creatures from hell.
Some powerful high-level demons or hell dukes like Maxwell, once they appear, don't even think about sending them back, and you might even be in danger yourself.
Kazuma is naturally not afraid of trouble, but it will be annoying if it happens too many times.
At this time, with Vanir, who is also a Duke of Hell and has the ability of Clairvoyance, some sensible hell creatures will obediently go back.
“I have to provide after-sales service of corresponding value.”
“In the end, it's still 2 billion Eris. Money makes the mare go, I have deeply realized that. But, I think it shouldn't be necessary.”
Kazuma touched the crown.
His inherent spirit armor is most unafraid of tests of luck, so as long as there are no accidents, he will definitely succeed!
“Looks like you're very confident.”
“Just in case, I still need Mr. Vanir's help.”
“Of course, that's my transaction principle.”
How strange.
With Vanir's clairvoyance ability, he should be able to see whether he will summon Eris in the future, but he also shows uncertainty… Could it be that he can't see his own future? But when he first came back, he wasn't like this…
Kazuma always felt that something was wrong.
But now is not the time to think about these things, because what's more important now is to fulfill the previous agreement with Eris.
The latest novel is at 6 9 books net first!
“Zazas, Zazas, Nasturnada Zazas! Appear!”
“—I think this spell is a little not good.”
He activated the mirror artifact while shouting.
Should I say it's worthy of being a divine artifact? It doesn't require its own magic power consumption at all, the divine artifact is operating on its own. Usually, an equivalent exchange should be carried out, but now the artifact mirror is paying the price.
Because it is random, it is impossible to filter conditions. The types of hell creatures summoned are strange. According to Vanir, even the Lord of Hell may be summoned.
Kazuma probably doesn't have that much good (bad) luck.
The crown became tighter and tighter, and his face became more and more pale. He didn't expect that summoning a mere high-level demon would be so difficult.
Hell creatures are too broad.
Even if the conditions are limited from the beginning, it is still a heavy burden to accurately find someone.
It is conceivable how lucky Eldar Thorp was to summon a Duke of Hell without limiting the conditions. Of course, he will become more unlucky afterwards.
Time passed little by little.
Just as Kazuma couldn't hold on any longer and was planning to try again next time, the mirror suddenly flashed, and a female demon wearing a tight-fitting suit appeared in the mirror, and even though she was wearing a cloak, one could still see her curvy figure.
“…Eh, a mirror suddenly appeared in the room?”
“Found her!”
Kazuma's eyes lit up.
The familiar voice made him happy, and at the same time, he fixed the magic mirror on her.
Taking a closer look.
Sure enough, it was the familiar big sister.
“This is…”
Eris gently touched the mirror that suddenly appeared in the room. After the water rippled, Kazuma's figure gradually appeared, and her yellow eyes widened slightly.
“Long time no see, big sister.”
“It's you!”
It seems that Eris still remembers Kazuma.
“—According to the agreement, I came to summon you.”
“Summon…?”
Eris was a little puzzled.
Presumably, in her opinion, the so-called summoning should be a magic circle summoning, a type that can only respond forcibly.
Unlike now.
The summoner and the summoned face to face, like a BOSS direct recruitment method. If you don't agree, can't you summon?
“I didn't expect you to really come and summon me.”
“…I keep my word.”
Although he said that, Kazuma still noticed that Vanir next to him was covering his mouth and loosening his shoulders, looking like he couldn't help but sneer at the appearance of clearly forgetting but saying it so coolly.
Kazuma didn't lie.
You don't care how you remembered it, you just say, did you summon it or not? Did you keep your word?
“I have slightly changed my view of humans.”
Eris seems to have a great prejudice against humans.
This can't be helped. After all, humans always let demons fulfill their wishes and then find a bunch of nonsense reasons to refuse to pay the price, and there are too many impossible wishes.
“Then what is your wish?”
“Same as before, be my subordinate.”
“That's impossible…”
“As a corresponding price, Megumin's cat—Chunchunmaru, can let you see her often.”
“That's Wolbach-sama! Not some Chunchunmaru! What's with that awful name!?”
It seems that even a high-level demon cannot accept the naming talent of the Crimson Demons.
“That's not important.”
Kazuma stretched out his hand to her and said, “How about it, do you want to make a contract with me?”
“…If you don't mind.”
Eris's current state is that her body belongs to Kazuma, but her heart belongs to Wolbach… Not good, why do I feel more excited the more I talk about it?
“Then—”
After reaching the deal, Kazuma put his hand into the mirror and dragged the tight-fitting demon out of hell.
