I like crossing the most

Chapter 999 The Last Routine 178
"My name is You Gou Hui! The Crimson Demon Clan's unparalleled talent will one day make me a writer!"

"My name is Softie! I am the foremost brother-loving member of the Crimson Demon Clan, and am known as the brother-complex person!"

"My name is Dongdonggu! The top... the top... what was it again?" of the Crimson Demon Clan.

Yes, the same as always.

After giving his name in front of Kobayashi and the others with great satisfaction, Gouhui let out a long sigh of relief and said happily, "It's been a long time since I've been able to give my name so readily."

Having been controlled by Ksitigarbha for a long time, Yougouhui not only failed to protect their reputation, but even burned their blindfolds and precious novel materials.

She must be filled with regret now.

"That's amazing." Huihui looked at them, who had returned to normal, with emotion, and said, "And Dongdonggu and Ruankuku, seeing you all so energetic is better than anything else."

God knows how much pain she was in before. That feeling of being the only conscious person in the whole world must have been really unbearable... or rather, the opposite?
"It's Softie!" Softie glared at Huihui through gritted teeth, complaining, "You really did call me by the wrong name on purpose, didn't you?"

Her name was always mispronounced.

However, this reaction is the same as before.

The fact that she was controlled by Ksitigarbha was a later development; now, she has fully recovered.

"Hehehe, thanks to Huihui's help."

Dongdonggu also said this with a smile.

As the first child to be controlled, her desire to study diligently, become a good child, and then go to the capital to become a noblewoman remains incomprehensible to her even now. Why would she do such a thing when she was serious? But now that she's back to normal, she doesn't dwell on it anymore. Because, after all, she was always a slow learner.

Moreover, it wasn't just them; everyone else in the Crimson Demon Village had completely reverted to their original state. They were constantly building buildings and tourist attractions in the style of the Crimson Demon Clan, and the true Crimson Demon Clan had disappeared as a result.

Seeing this, Darkness was also moved and gratified, saying, "It seems that the influence of Jizo has completely disappeared. The Crimson Demon Clan has returned to normal. This is truly wonderful."

"Great, everyone's back to normal and classes have started again," Dongdonggu said happily. "Of course, the courses being taught are how to become a Grand Magister, not aristocratic etiquette."

"In fact, you've become even more handsome after all this training. Look." Youyou gestured for Xiaolin and the others to look in the direction of Youyou's clan chief's father, as if he were showing them off. He himself was also receiving tourists.

"Welcome, wanderers!! Indulge in the delicacies of my village!" The leisurely chieftain father displayed the colorful and fragrant skewers in front of him and said to the guests, "Skewers charred by karmic fire... fried food ravaged by purgatory... tempting and depraved desserts... Come, choose your desires and sink completely into them!"

It wasn't just him; everyone else in the academy felt the same way, especially those in the Crimson Demon Village.

"Welcome to the Red Prison of the Magic Academy! Here you will be taught how to craft magical items and equipment, how to warm up yourselves with pre-battle slogans, and of course, post-battle declarations! Most importantly, you will receive the most crucial education for our Red Demon Clan, focusing on 'coolness'!!"

The headmaster of the Crimson Demon Clan... no, he's automatically downgraded to a teacher now. He's incredibly enthusiastic, and even if passing guests don't want to go in, he'll half-force them to come in for a visit, which is surprisingly a headache.

"More motivated than ever." Aqua was somewhat incredulous upon seeing this. She looked at Yuuko and asked curiously, "Is this a side effect of becoming serious?"

The principle of reversal at the extreme?
That would be a real headache, in fact, many people are already having a headache about it, aren't they?

"This is quite different from what I've heard." One of the male tourists, feeling a little uneasy, said with anticipation, "They announce their numbers as soon as you make eye contact. What's going on with this village?"

"Isn't this completely frivolous? As expected of the Crimson Demon Clan!" another female tourist shouted in despair. She seemed to have been semi-forced to visit the school in the Crimson Demon Village.

Seeing the guests' reactions, Kobayashi couldn't help but smirk and said, "They all seem to be quite disappointed. It's probably because the Crimson Demon Clan has become serious that they're having such a headache."

This is the only option left. After all, the Crimson Demon Clan used to be serious because of Jizo, and now their chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) is also because of Jizo.

Huihui didn't take it to heart, and even scoffed, saying, "True handsomeness is something noble that others can't understand. There's nothing I can do about it."

She even seemed to have a headache.

Kobayashi couldn't help but sigh and said, "Seriously, those Crimson Demon Clan guys..."

He really didn't know what to say about them, but the thought that these guys were hopeless chuunibyou (delusional) red demons made him give up completely.

"By the way, everyone, have you felt any gazes since just now?"

She was quite capable of saying that. As she looked at the bushes beside her, after they swayed for a while, a familiar figure emerged from them.

"Oh, what a coincidence to run into you here, everyone!"

It's Youyou.

Everyone stared at her in silence, a silence that made Youyou feel extremely uncomfortable. She couldn't help but urge them, saying, "I said, at least give me some reaction!"

"How were you supposed to know we were going back to the village?" Huihui spread her hands helplessly and said, "Were you spying on us and waiting for us at our house?"

"I didn't do anything like that! At least I heard it from Miss Wiz and the others... Ah."

"I knew it! Really."

Seeing Youyou cover her mouth and remain silent, Huihui rolled her eyes helplessly, unable to understand why she didn't return to Axel with them, but instead came back alone and even used such an awkward method to reunite.

"Don't say that," Darkness said reassuringly. "Youyou must have been worried about what was happening in the village, which is why she came back."

"Yes," Youyou said, deeply moved. "Thanks to everyone, Father and the villagers, it seems like everything has completely returned to normal. In fact, they seem even more eager than before to show tourists their handsome side, which is a little embarrassing..."

She said this with a slight embarrassment, after all, compared to the originally chuunibyou-filled Red Demon Clan, she was a proper good girl.

“By the way, this is a rare opportunity, let’s go sightseeing!” Aqua couldn’t help but suggest, saying, “It feels like the atmosphere is more lively and interesting than usual.”

“Indeed. It’s good to relax once in a while.” Darkness nodded and said, “You’ve been doing missions a lot lately.”

"Then we'll lead the way."

"I also want to thank you for your help."

Ruanhuhu and Dongdonggu said this because they had received help from Xiaolin and the others before, so they wanted to return the favor. Yougouhui felt the same way and said to the group, "I'll go too, and find some material while I'm at it. Is Youyou coming too?"

"Hey, can we come together?"

"Well, wouldn't it be great if everyone agreed? I don't really care."

"Great!" Hearing the others agree to go along, Youyou beamed with joy, saying, "I was wondering if this would happen, and I was thinking about where we could all go together—"

Just then, the Red Demon Clan's alarm suddenly sounded, causing everyone to be slightly taken aback.

Then, a Crimson Demon shouted in the street, "Everyone, the monsters are attacking! This is your chance to show off your cool side to the guests!"

"That's what she said, Youyou."

Kobayashi looked at her with amusement.

"Seriously, why is it always like this?!"

Yoyo was furious; she was ready to vent her anger on the monster. Kobayashi and the others followed, only to find a large number of Crimson Demons engaged in battle. They were completely helpless and could only watch the spectacle.

"Mr. Kobayashi, the tea is ready."

"Oh, you have a keen eye... Hmm, it's hot water."

"Oh dear, I really am. I accidentally purified it again."

"It's alright. I don't mind that kind of thing—not at all in this situation."

Kobayashi looked down at the cliff below.

"Retreat! Retreat! Run away quickly!"

"Why have they become so strong again?!"

"It wasn't like this at all last time!"

The demon army was routed by the magic, seemingly unable to understand why the Crimson Demons, who had previously become more serious, had become even more childish and immature.

"If the terrain changes, just use golems to repair it. The top priority is—"

"Cool!" xN
Many Crimson Demons shouted this. Meanwhile, the clan leader, Youyou, raised his arm and yelled to his people, "Everyone, don't forget your posture and your self-defense titles!! And absolutely do not miss the delicious and exciting scene!"

"Oh————" xN
The Crimson Demons, in all sorts of childish and exaggerated poses, relentlessly attacked the Demon King's army, causing them to flee in terror and groan in despair. Seeing the well-equipped Crimson Demons, Kobayashi couldn't help but nod in approval.

"Really... they are the same Crimson Demons as always."

"Hmph. Cool lines! Brilliant magic! This is the fighting style of the Crimson Demon Clan!"

Huihui said this with a proud look on her face.

The leader of the Demon King's army clicked his tongue in frustration and growled, "Damn it, they don't consider the damage and efficiency of the surroundings at all... These guys' fighting style is truly absurd...!!"

"These people who are so obsessed with nonsensical lines and gestures, they must have something wrong with their heads!" another Demon King's soldier roared.

Kobayashi glanced at the berserk Crimson Demons and then at the unwilling Demon King's army, and couldn't help but sigh: Am I the only one who thinks the monsters are more serious?

At this moment, Megumin could no longer contain herself. She raised her wand and shouted, "To boost morale, I'll unleash one too! Let me show you what the strongest explosion magic is all about!"

With Megumin's explosive magic as the final blow, the Demon King's army was wiped out, and the battle came to a complete end.

The group returned to the village.

"My lords, we have crushed the remnants of the Demon King's army!" The patriarch, Yoyo's father, raised his goblet and shouted, "Let us raise a toast to our courageous struggle!!"

"Cheers!!" xN
The Crimson Demons shouted loudly.

To celebrate their victory over the Demon King's army, the Crimson Demon Clan prepared a banquet, which was attended by many people, including tourists. Kobayashi and his companions also joined in.

"What a lavish meal!" Darkness exclaimed, looking at the abundant food. At the same time, he said somewhat embarrassedly, "Could you please join us for dinner? We didn't cook anything, it's really..."

"It's nothing, it's nothing." Youyou's clan chief father waved his hand and said, "Thank you all for taking care of Ksitigarbha, so don't be so polite. This is also a way of expressing our gratitude!"

“In that case, let’s enjoy ourselves to the fullest.” Huihui certainly wouldn’t stand on ceremony with him. Not only that, but she also brought Xiaomi along, saying, “Come on, Xiaomi, you can eat as much as you want today.”

"Mmm...Delicious!!"

"We've already started eating!"

"Ah, that's mine...!"

Xiaolin and Youyou were both getting a headache from Xiaomi's constant stuffing of food into her mouth.

Huihui exclaimed in admiration, "Wow, what a wonderful battle! This is what the Crimson Demon Clan should be like!"

"Megumin is amazing too." The soft-spoken girl said to her with satisfaction, "Even though Explosion Magic is a high school magic, its power is still very strong."

"Yeah, even funny magic can come in handy," Dongdonggu chimed in.

However, Huihui was very unhappy. She glared at the two of them and said, "You two were talking about funny magic just now, so I accept the argument!"

"Calm down." Kobayashi held down the little girl who was about to cause a ruckus at the banquet, and then said with a smile, "But, the explosion magic this time was indeed quite good."

"Right, right! What exactly was the score?"

"85 points... The momentum was good, but the voice was not good."

"...I'm still far from it!" Megumin said unwillingly. "But one day I will show everyone a burst magic that will surprise everyone!"

Then, swinging her cloak, she shouted, "My name is Megumin! The foremost magic user of the Crimson Demon Clan, the one who wields explosion magic!!"

"Sister, you're so cool!"

"As expected of Huihui, what a cool self-defense title!"

"That's right!"

The Crimson Demons seemed very supportive.

"In short, the Crimson Demon Clan needs to put on a bit of a show to be just right," Kobayashi sighed, then muttered to himself, "If only it weren't for comedic magic."

"Who was it! Who just said 'funny magic'?!"

Huihui looked around excitedly.

Sure enough, she couldn't calm down after such a reaction; Huihui seemed quite happy too.
