For example, the shrine.
This shrine was said to be extrely efficacious, so without exception, all visiting travelers would co to pay their respects.
"I think I understand why all the visiting travelers co to pay their respects."
Eiji stared expressionlessly at the shrine before him.
Everything else was just like an ordinary shrine, but the deity enshrined here was actually a life-sized swimsuit figurine of a beautiful girl—and what's more, she was dressed in a cat-ear school swimsuit!
As soone from another world, he had to ask: who the hell has ever seen sothing like this!
"And there's the mixed-gender hot spring."
"I bet it's neither mixed-gender nor a hot spring!"
"How did you know?"
gumin glanced at Eiji in surprise.
"That place really isn't a mixed-gender hot spring—it's just an ordinary bathhouse... Oh, and they also run an inn there, which is that succubus bar."
"Damn it!" x2
Under gumin's guidance, the group also visited a sword stuck in a rock. It was said that pulling out the sword would grant one incredible power. They also saw a wishing lake, where it seed that by tossing silver coins or offering items like axes into the lake, one could summon the lake spirit to fulfill their wishes.
When they arrived, they happened to see a blacksmith uncle fishing out a pile of coins and axes from the lake before sneaking away.
"..."
"Both the Sword in the Stone and the Wishing Pond were designed by the blacksmith uncle."
"Stop talking."
Everyone covered their faces.
The Crimson Demons really were a bunch of weirdos!
"This is our clan's warehouse. It stores powerful weapons that might just destroy the world, but the thod to open it has long been lost."
Who would believe that?
"This is the observatory. It's so powerful that you can even see the Demon King's Castle from here. By the way, the most famous attraction is the bedroom of the Demon King's daughter... the old Demon King's daughter."
This matter must be kept secret from the witch.
No, perhaps it would be better to tell her directly? Then we could watch as the witch rushes to the Crimson Demon Village and starts fighting with the Crimson Demon's great mages!
After touring around, the group was surprised to discover:
All the so-called attractions in the Crimson Demon Village were complete scams.
This place was just an ordinary mountain village, utterly unremarkable! There were no incredible natural phenona, nor any sights that could be considered wonders!
Dammit, if I ever co back here again, I must be out of my mind!
Eiji swore to himself.
After a day of sightseeing, aside from noticing that the village patrols had indeed beco stricter, they had gained nothing else.
"I'll stay at the inn."
After returning to gumin's house in the evening, Eiji looked at the cramped space and the total of eight people, and ultimately decided to stay elsewhere.
"Is that so? Then I'll..."
Darkness stood up, holding a bundle with her change of clothes.
"I'll go alone. You stay here."
Without giving her a chance to argue, Eiji pressed down on Darkness's shoulder.
Darkness trembled all over, her face flushing red as she agreed, though clear disappointnt showed in her eyes.
Ignoring whatever happened behind him, Eiji quickly left gumin's house.
He avoided the patrolling Crimson Demons and entered the distant forest.
Then he took out the capsule house, opened it, and stepped inside.
When he erged, he had transford into the Demon King—clad in gleaming silver armor, wearing a pitch-black intimidation mask, and exuding an overwhelming, oppressive aura that radiated imnse pressure!
In the distance.
A small fortress ca into view. It appeared to be newly established, as many surrounding facilities remained unfinished. Despite the late hour, nurous low-tier demons were still laboriously hauling bricks in the distance.
Suddenly, an intensely oppressive figure appeared before the fortress.
"Who goes the—Eek!!"
The low-tier demon who had been about to shout a challenge let out a terrified shriek upon seeing the figure.
"Call Silvia out.The Demon King's deep voice resonated.
"Wh-wh-wh-who are you? Wh-wh-what do you want with Lady Silvia?"
Several low-tier demons huddled together, trembling but mustering their courage to shout back.
"Your Majesty the Demon King!At that mont, Silvia ca running out, her face lit up with surprise.
The low-tier demons imdiately fell silent, nearly wetting themselves in fear. Good heavens, they had actually been questioning the Demon King?!
"Your Majesty, please forgive these demons under my command for failing to recognize your true identity!"
Silvia quickly bowed, pleading on behalf of the demons to Eiji.
"Their loyalty is comndable. It's fine."
"Thank you, Your Majesty. This way, please!"
She extended her arm, guiding Eiji into the small fortress.
"There are many unfamiliar faces here."
Upon entering the fortress, Eiji surveyed his surroundings.
Lining both sides of the path were nurous large-bodied demons, all eyeing him with either curiosity or wariness. Each demon's aura was far stronger than that of the low-tier demons outside!
"Yes, Your Majesty. Because of their arrival, the demons under my command have been relegated to moving bricks!"
Silvia's expression was pained and distressed; she deeply sympathized with her subordinates.
But there was no helping it—these newly arrived demons were simply too powerful!
"Not a single one of them is a low-tier demon. Even the basic soldiers are lower demons, with interdiate demons being quite common. Moreover, even the exceptionally rare upper demons can be seen here in numbers!"
Their overall strength far surpassed that of Silvia's army!
Setting aside the lower and interdiate demons for now, the upper demons already possessed considerable power. Converted to human adventurer levels, they would be at least level 40 or above. Just two or three of them together could pose a serious threat to Silvia's life!
In other words, this demon army alone was enough to crush Silvia's forces!
A truly formidable faction!
Without artifact wielders or reincarnators with cheats, it would be nearly impossible to oppose such an army!
"Where is their leader?"
"Right this way. I believe Your Majesty already knows who that person is..."
Silvia led Eiji to a simple palace and knocked on the door.
"Enter."
A woman's voice responded calmly, naturally carrying the authority of a superior.
The door creaked open.
In an instant, the woman seated at the far end of the hall ca into Eiji's view.
Her short red hair accentuated her goddess-like features with striking boldness, while her bright yellow, feline-like eyes added a touch of allure to her captivating appearance. Her curvaceous figure was even more eye-catching.
"Sylphie, who is he?"
The red-haired beauty's gaze sharpened, her wary eyes fixed on Eiji.
"Reporting to Lady Wolbach, this is His Majesty the Demon King!"
Sylphie cautiously glanced at Wolbach, whose expression had visibly darkened, then at Eiji, who remained completely unfazed, inwardly lanting.
When giants fight, the mortals suffer!
