The legend of the Crimson Demon clan started from Suqing

Megumin and Yunyun didn't punish Cecily. Instead, they used this method to rescue him from Cecily's clutches.

They're really… I'm so touched, I could cry.

Zun Zun was thinking of getting another room, but Megumin and Yunyun said it was late, so he might as well sleep in the same room with them. Unable to refuse their kindness, he had no choice but to sleep together.

But he didn't know why it had to be on one bed, with Megumin on the left and Yunyun on the right.

However, Zun Zun didn't fall asleep.

It wasn't because being flanked by beauties made him excited and sleepless, but because he was worried that the succubus might be very dedicated and run back to make him dream, and then be caught by Cecily, Megumin, and Yunyun, leaving him unable to explain himself…

In such tangled thoughts, Zun Zun vaguely fell asleep until the sun rose.

He was a little tired after tossing and turning all night.

When the three of them got up, it was already afternoon. They went to Zun Zun's room and found that Cecily was not there. Not knowing where she had gone, the three of them hurriedly ran out of the inn to look for her everywhere.

You must know that Cecily is an Axis Church member who is even more excessive than the Crimson Demons. If she causes a riot in the town…

Just as Zun Zun was about to post a missing person notice, he suddenly saw Cecily on the street.

"Ah, it's unbelievable! You're actually possessed by evil spirits, and so many of them!"

"Eh… Evil spirits!?"

She was pestering a well-dressed gentleman, and the threatening words she spoke made him a little scared.

Cecily continued, "Do you always hear strange noises in the middle of the night, or feel inexplicably tired, or always feel short of breath and have other strange phenomena that make you feel troubled?"

"Um… no."

"Then! Do you feel breathless after jogging ten kilometers, or feel hungry if you don't eat!"

"Yes, but isn't that normal?"

The gentleman fell into thought, but Cecily suddenly shouted, "I knew it! Tell the truth, you're already possessed by evil spirits. If this continues, you'll die in a week!"

"What?"

"Didn't you hear? I'll say it again, if this continues, you'll die in five days!"

"Why is it earlier!?"

The gentleman shouted in anger.

Zun Zun couldn't stand it anymore. He quickly stepped forward, grabbed Cecily, and forcibly pressed her head down.

"I'm sorry, my idiot is causing you trouble."

"Ah, ah… Zun Zun! Although I'm happy that you said I'm yours, he's really possessed by evil spirits. I'm not lying… Wait! I'm really not lying! Don't pull me!"

Zun Zun didn't give her a chance to continue fooling around, but forcibly dragged her away.

Even so, she continued to shout, "Sir, are you listening? In short, there's only one thing you can do—join the Axis Church! Remember, be sure to join the Axis Church!"

"My family has been members of the Eris Church for generations!"

"What did you say—!"

Hearing what the gentleman said, Cecily became even more excited and wanted to fight him, but Zun Zun forcibly subdued her and took her away.

Away from the street.

Zun Zun grabbed her wrist.

Cecily said shyly, "Don't be so nervous. I will always love you, so don't be afraid that I will run away with someone else. Of course, I will also protect myself and not get hurt."

"I'm afraid someone else will get hurt."

If she didn't speak, she would clearly be a beautiful woman who makes people's hearts flutter. Why are the Axis Church followers all like this, with their imperfections? Both she and the idiot goddess Aqua.

No, is it because there is such a goddess that there are such believers?

"Oh, stop it, Zun Zun is looking at me so eagerly… No, even if the Axis Church is free and unrestrained, you can't do this kind of thing in the street."

Cecily pretended to be shy.

It's really frustrating!

Zun Zun sighed and said, "I'm saying, do you have to use this method to spread the gospel? If you were more normal like the Eris Church, many people would join you, right?"

And that's not even adding Megumin's tricks. If you add them all, I don't know how powerful it would be.

"What are you saying!"

Cecily puffed out her chest and said loudly, "What a devout priest serving God needs is the bold and gorgeous evangelistic power to spread the faith! This is beyond doubt!"

"That's not your reason to seduce and commit crimes! You're just tarnishing the Axis Church!"

"But I really wasn't lying just now. That person was really possessed by evil spirits."

"Here we go again."

Zun Zun had already learned how thick-skinned Cecily was.

"Forget it, at least you didn't point at the Eris Church members and say they were criminals, or go to the Eris Church's door to steal their business."

"That's a good idea! Zun Zun, you reminded me. Okay, write it down quickly!"

"Hey!"

I really can't do anything with her.

At this moment, Megumin and Yunyun also rushed over. Their little faces were slightly red and their foreheads were covered in dense sweat, obviously they had put in a lot of effort to find Cecily.

"Ah, the appearance of young girls with fragrant sweat is really moving. Come, big sister, hug!"

Cecily opened her arms and pounced on the two of them. Megumin and Yunyun quickly dodged and didn't let her succeed.

"Zun Zun, I just saw a gentleman walking away angrily, muttering about the hateful Axis Church… or something like that. What happened?"

"Actually…"

Zun Zun told them the problem, and the two of them also had a helpless expression after listening.

What should we do next?

Cecily's destructive power is terrifying. Wandering around will only bring trouble to others, not to mention that there is also the idiot goddess Aqua in this town.

If she runs into her, it will really cause a qualitative change. So the next thing to pay attention to is not to run into Aqua.

That's right!

And definitely don't go to the Eris Church!

"Bastard, open the door for me! Open the door quickly! You bunch of useless people, you do nothing when your believers are possessed by evil spirits! Open the door quickly and let me teach you a lesson! If you don't open the door, I'll smash it to pieces!"

Coming back to his senses, he saw Cecily kicking the door of the Eris Church.

… Eh?

Zun Zun murmured, "Why did she come here?"

"It was Zun Zun who brought her here." Megumin said so, and Yunyun's face still had a worried expression.

"Ah, me?"

After getting confirmation from the two of them, Zun Zun pointed at himself and widened his eyes, not expecting that he had unconsciously brought Cecily here.

Looking at the motionless door, Cecily clicked her tongue and said to Megumin, "Come on, Miss Megumin, it's your turn. Please teach them a lesson for me and use magic to raze the church to the ground!"

"There's no way I'd do that no matter how you think about it!"

Megumin would only recklessly use explosion magic in impulsive situations. When her intelligence occupies the high ground, she will calm down… No, is it because there is a crazier Cecily that she restrains herself?

Some people watch skits, some people look in the mirror.

It seems that Cecily coming to this town is not all bad.

At this moment, a gentleman hurried towards the Eris Church. Zun Zun was slightly stunned after seeing who it was, because he was the person Cecily had just pestered. Without even looking at the others, the gentleman walked into the Eris Church through the side door.

"What, so this is the entrance? Okay, watch me!"

"Don't mess around!" X 2

Megumin and Yunyun hurriedly grabbed her.

Soon, the door of the church opened with a click, and the gentleman walked out with a reluctant expression, followed by a woman who looked like a priest with an apologetic expression.

"Hmph, hmph, you're finally out!"

Cecily shouted, and the female priest immediately hid back and closed the church door after seeing Cecily's Axis Church uniform.

The gentleman sighed and sat on the ground.

Seeing him like this, Zun Zun had a guess.

Could it be—

At this moment, Cecily had already stepped forward and said softly to the despairing gentleman, "Hello, sir, you seem to need help? Are you troubled by being possessed by an evil spirit?"

"What, it's you..."

The gentleman didn't seem angry, but sighed and said, "You're right, I am indeed possessed by an evil spirit, but the priests of the Eris Church said they were powerless and told me to go to another town... That's right, Axel is a beginner's village, how could there be high-level priests here."

"—Purification!"

Warm light emanated from Cecily's hands, enveloping the gentleman's entire body, and his gloomy expression eased.

"Hmph, hmph, hmph, you're lucky, a beautiful priestess of the Axis Church is here!"

"Wh-what...it was resolved so easily?"

The gentleman looked at his open hands in disbelief. He probably didn't expect that the evil spirit that the Eris Church couldn't purify would be purified by a priestess of the Axis Church, whom he disliked.

"How is it, sir? If you join the Axis Church now, you'll also get two bottles of 100% Alcanretia fresh holy water! It has very good effects whether you use it on yourself or on evil spirits!"

"I'll join! I want to join!"

The gentleman signed his name on the Axis Church application form without any hesitation.

Just like that, a devout member of the Eris Church for generations converted to the Axis Church.

"Okay, it's decided! Tomorrow I'll move out of the mansion with the evil spirits and go to Alcanretia to live!"

"You're doing the right thing!"

The gentleman left impatiently.

Ah, so conflicted!

Zun-zun hugged her head in extreme pain.

To actually watch a member of the Eris Church fall into becoming a member of the Axis Church...

I really want to tell that gentleman not to join the Axis Church, but now it was the priestess of the Axis Church who saved him, and I don't know what to do!

Bang!

"Kya————!"

Just as Zun-zun was distressed, the sound of glass breaking and screams rang out from inside the church.

"Nice shot!"

At the same time, Zun-zun discovered that Cecily had placed throwing stones at her feet, and with a look of accomplishment, struck a victory pose towards the broken window.

"What on earth are you doing, you guy!?"

"Because, you see, a garbage church that can't even exorcise spirits from its own believers has no need to exist, right! Come on, you guys smash too!"

"Don't joke around!"

Zun-zun couldn't help but pull on her cheeks, making her scream in pain, while Yoyo and a reluctant Hui-hui apologized to the female priest who ran out of the church in a rage, and offered compensation.

"Why do I have to..."

Hui-hui pouted.

After a lot of fuss, the four were let go.

On the way back, Hui-hui scolded, "Are you an idiot! Why are all the members of the Axis Church idiots! What 'nice shot'? I know you guys and the Eris Church followers don't get along, but where did the impulse come from that made you do such a thing!"

"Speaking of which, I'm also very strange. After coming to this town, my mood has been inexplicably excited. How should I put it...my condition is much better than usual. Could it be the blessing of the great Goddess Aqua?"

Cecily said, looking at Zun-zun.

Sure enough, Jesta-sama was wrong. This isn't a problem with agar slime, because I haven't eaten any since I came to this town!

"Haa...so tired."

"I hope there won't be any more trouble."

Hui-hui and Yoyo looked exhausted.

Time had already passed into the evening, and the sky was beginning to darken. Because it was dinner time, the bars and restaurants beside the road began to surge with people.

Walking on such a street, as the four passed in front of a tavern, a particularly loud cheer came from inside, as if someone had made a shocking performance.

Upon hearing this, Cecily floated over like a moth to a flame...

Zun-zun grabbed her shoulder.

"Wait a minute, where do you want to go?"

"The cheers coming from this tavern sound too happy!...The intuition of an Axis Church follower is telling me that the person I've been longing for is inside! I'm going to find out!"

This is a tavern, although it's ordinary, but the voice coming from inside—

"Flowers, birds, wind, and moon!"

"Oh oh oh! One more! One more! One more!"

"Ah, don't tip, don't tip. I'm not an entertainer. I don't rely on this to make a living."

It goes without saying who's inside.

In short, they absolutely can't be allowed to meet!

Zun-zun said with a smile, "Cecily nee-san..."

"Eep, eep...Zun-zun, you're suddenly like this, it's making nee-san very scared. Wh-what's wrong?" Cecily panicked a little.

So angry, but I still have to keep smiling.

"Nee-san, I'll let you drink to your heart's content tonight, but I'm a little tired now. How about going back to the inn?"

"C-can do..."

Under Zun-zun's kind smile, Cecily could only agree.

"I think she just wants to drink."

"Yeah."

Hui-hui and Yoyo said.

The four had dinner in the inn's first-floor restaurant. Cecily drank sparkling wine in big gulps, looking particularly refreshed. However, Zun-zun and the other three were not yet adults, so they couldn't drink alcohol, even though Hui-hui wanted to try it, she didn't get her wish.

The tired three returned to their room.

"I'm exhausted."

"I feel tired all over."

"And this is only the first day."

Hearing Yoyo say this, Zun-zun and Hui-hui's faces looked quite ugly. It's already like this after one day, who knows what it will be like if it continues.

No, she has to leave town!

However—

"Nee-san is leaving."

"...Eh?"

Early the next morning.

Cecily came to say goodbye to the three.

Hui-hui was even more surprised, "What's wrong, nee-san, are you leaving already?"

"Aiya, Hui-hui, are you reluctant to part with nee-san? I'm really so touched!"

"No."

"Waa, that's hurtful."

Cecily fake-cried for a bit, then said seriously, "Nee-san has realized her shortcomings. After all...yesterday's purification magic was used by chance. Fortunately, it didn't go wrong, otherwise that person would have been killed, hahaha——"

"Hey, is this the time to laugh!?"

"And...nee-san already knows about the need for money, so I have to go and prepare a bit."

Her expression was very serious.

But Zun-zun faintly heard something like "Can't fool around", "Using stones to pretend to be money won't work", "Might as well buy a lottery ticket"...words that made her feel very uneasy.

"In short, nee-san is going to raise money, and also increase her level."

"Increase your level?"

"That's right. After a priest's level is raised to a certain point, they can choose their favorite town to be a branch manager and be responsible for running the church!"

Forcibly swallowing the words of inviting her to join a party.

Hui-hui seemed to understand something, and said, "Nee-san, you wouldn't be thinking of being stationed in this town, would you?"

"I won't tell you." Cecily stuck out her tongue.

It seems she really thinks so.

"Also, if you want to do it, come find nee-san anytime, Ghana, Zun-zun. Chu!"

Then she ambushed Zun-zun, and just like when she arrived, suddenly left—

At the same time leaving a bill.

The three gathered around, and after seeing the bill of up to 200,000 Eris, their expressions gradually twisted.

"Oh right! The tavern bill from last night, please help me pay it, I'll pay you back later!"

Cecily's words entered their ears.

Could this guy be running away in a hurry because she owes money?

Honestly speaking—

The Axis Church is too free!
