[ "Kazuma, are you okay? Where is Sylvia?" Just then, Aqua and the others, accompanied by a few Crimson Demon Villagers, finally caught up. However, seeing only Kazuma there, they were filled with confusion.
Kazuma pointed a finger at the large gate behind him: "I had a stroke of genius and locked Sylvia inside. If we keep her locked in there for a month, she should behave herself, right?"
It hurts, hurts, hurts! My chest! My chest seems to be caught in the door—
From inside the gate came the thump of knocking, along with the sound of Sylvia muttering complaints, but everyone ignored it.
Darkness said with some pity, "Are… are we going to starve a Demon King's General to death…"
"Please, Satou Kazuma! Can you open this door… Hey, damn it! Say something."
Bukkorori was also full of praise for Kazuma: "Amazing, outlander! To think you could capture Sylvia, whom we've let escape so many times."
"At least retort a little! If you bastards don't retort, I'm going to do it myself, you hear me! I'm really… gonna retort~."
Sylvia's words continued to be ignored by everyone. Aqua looked the gate up and down: "By the way, isn't there a dangerous weapon sealed in here?!"
Hearing this, Bukkorori confidently told them to rest assured: "It's fine, it's fine. Even though we don't know how to use it."
A Crimson Demon villager next to him chimed in: "If Sylvia can activate the weapon, we'll do a handstand and run a lap around the village."
Kazuma could no longer hear Sylvia's cursing from behind him and suddenly felt uneasy: "Wait… that's a flag…"
Aqua reached out to signal Kazuma not to be nervous, saying with a smile, "What are you panicking for? We rarely defeat a Demon King's General."
"Although Kazuma basically won it by himself, we are a team, so the bounty should still be split equally, right! When we get back to Axel, what should I buy?"
Aqua even started fantasizing about her plans after receiving the huge bounty. ]

"Good heaven, chest caught in the door, seriously? At least it wasn't her head caught in the door… That's just too pitiful, you guys should pay her some attention!"
"What a miserable General. Sylvia is about to be driven crazy; she's even started muttering tsukkomis to herself, yet not a single person is paying attention to her."
This kind of "popping the champagne at halftime" behavior made everyone outside the video want to facepalm. This young man, the flags are raised to the max!
Especially Aqua's jinxed mouth. They had experienced it once before. Specifically, never fantasize about what you'll do after you return while in the middle of a fight; something is 100% guaranteed to go wrong!
.....
〜Gabriel DropOut World〜
Gabriel opened her mouth, her face revealing an indescribable helplessness:
"If you don't retort to me… I'll retort to you. Is this the current state of the Demon King's Army?"
It's just like a child going to the toilet at night; because of fear, they constantly try to talk to others… What to do? I'm starting to pity her a little.
It gives a sense of deja vu of The Hero Yoshihiko… Of course, the hero here refers to Sylvia.
"Locking her up for a month… honestly, are you even human?"
Satania, that idiot demon, was even scared.
Whether she'd behave after a month in that place is unknown, but any idiot knows she'd definitely starve to death in a month.
What a terrifying hero, what a terrifying human… That guy Kazuma is simply born to be a demon! He can even come up with something this cruel.
〜That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime World〜
Shion was sweating a little:
"Can capture Sylvia, whom them let escape so many times…"
'Let escape many times,' seriously? I don't know if you guys are praising Kazuma or showing off.
But at least Shion understood one thing: Sylvia's attack on the Crimson Demon Village really is just a tourist attraction for you, Crimson Demon Villagers. You guys are really too inhumane.
Staying on top of Ranga's head, the Slime's gaze became subtle:
"Handstand run a lap, what to buy after returning! It's really maxed out, the flags are fully raised."
Aqua even said the most taboo words. Now it's really over. Based on his years of experience, Kazuma at this moment is like an old general on a theater stage, his back covered in flags.
.....
[ Facts proved that, just as everyone thought, the moment the flag-expert Aqua finished speaking, the ground began to shake.
Kazuma hurriedly led the group out of the building. Accompanied by several flashes of light, Sylvia sliced the building to shreds, directly blasting the group away.
"This is my ability! Whether it's a weapon or whatever else, I can synthesize, absorb, and fuse it with myself!"
As the dust settled, under the illumination of the moonlight, Sylvia's lower body had turned into a giant snake body shimmering with metallic light: "I am Sylvia! The chimera who has obtained the strongest power, Sylvia!"
Now, she had merged with the Mage Killer, gaining the ability to be immune to magic.
Kazuma was dumbfounded watching this, while Megumin, whose face had turned pale from fright, frantically tugged at Kazuma's sleeve: "Ka… Kazuma, this is bad. Run, let's leave here immediately!"
Bukkorori led the few people from the Crimson Demon Village and began to flee into the distance while doing handstands: "Forget the village, we're all done for!" ]

〜Projection of All Worlds〜
"See, I told you not to raise flags, sure enough, something happened… But Sylvia's chunibyo behavior really is a case of 'when in Rome, do as the Romans do'."
"Did Aqua put points into a Flag Skill? It hits every single time."
The crowd outside the video froze when they saw the two running away on their hands. You two really keep your word; you said handstand, you do handstand, and you run so fast, even upside down.
.....
[ "Although I have quite a few grudges against you, thanks to this, I obtained power, so I'll spare your life! You just stay here and watch me destroy this village."
After saying this to Kazuma, Sylvia advanced towards the village and began a rampage of destruction.
After merging with the magic-immune divine artifact, she was simply the nemesis of the Crimson Demon Village, which was full of magicians. They could only watch helplessly from the cliff as the village was destroyed.
At this time, the culprits, Kazuma and his group, also found the village chief. Unexpectedly, the chief apologized first, saying it was rare for them to visit, yet such a thing had to happen.
Hearing this, Kazuma felt extremely guilty. Bean-sized beads of sweat rolled down his face endlessly, and he could only apologize constantly in his heart… Sorry, the one who undid the seal was me.
Kazuma was also heartbroken seeing the destroyed village and hurriedly asked if there was any remedy: "I… I say, is there really nothing we can do?"
Actually, there was one method, but no one had been able to decipher the ruins where the method was written since ancient times. So, the group decided to split into two teams.
Darkness was responsible for protecting Megumin's family, while Megumin was responsible for taking Kazuma to the location of the ruins.
After confirming the plan, Kazuma nodded to the members of his squad: "Success or death!"
"'Success or death'? You may be outlanders, but you really get it!" This sentence struck a chord in the hearts of the Crimson Demon Clan, and they all stood up one after another.
"Alright, let's give a proper counterattack to protect our hometown too!"
"OH!!" The Crimson Demon villagers, ignited by this chunibyo atmosphere, responded in unison.
However, just as the atmosphere was heated, Aqua suddenly spoke up, completely ruining the mood: "Ne, although saying this is a bit of a buzzkill, I don't want to do something so dangerous. Providing support from a safe place is my job!"
That being said, it wasn't up to her. Kazuma directly dragged this atmosphere-ignorant, useless goddess away. ]
[ .....]
〜Projection of All Worlds〜
"Good lord, does Sylvia have such a good temper? She was bullied by Kazuma to that extent, yet she didn't plan to take his life."
"Is it my illusion? Although the village is destroyed, why does it feel like the Crimson Demon Village's attitude is like they are playing around?"
This useless goddess… Hardened. The fists of everyone outside the video hardened. They had just gotten fired up, only to have a bucket of cold water poured on them by her! If you know it's a buzzkill, don't say it!
Truly worthy of being a clear stream in the world of goddesses. Why does the art style change so suddenly when it comes to you, hey! Even the BGM went limp. Where did your mercy as a goddess go?
.....
〜Type-Moon World, ██████ Worldline〜
In the 7th singularity, Absolute Demonic Front: Babylonia—
"Hahaha… Useless Goddess Aqua… How do you manage to be so out of place…"
Ereshkigal, who was in the Underworld, was laughing so hard that tears came out.
As expected of the representative of wisdom, truly too wise. It would be one thing if her IQ were low, but unexpectedly, her EQ isn't high either.
If the atmosphere just now was full of passion, the moment Aqua opened her mouth, the genre changed instantly. It's like a Husky mixed into a pack of wolves; it looks out of place no matter how you look at it!
And in Uruk above the Underworld, Merlin also chuckled softly. This Goddess Aqua really brings joy at every moment… Of course, provided that the one being pitted isn't himself.
Watching Kazuma, who was still sweating from a guilty conscience, Ishtar was also speechless:
"I've figured it out. Whenever something big happens, it's Kazuma's squad causing trouble."
The first time was Megumin, the second time was Aqua, and even Kazuma, who never pits people in big matters, capsized this time… Could it be Darkness's turn next time?
Good heavens, looking at it this way, how is this a Hero's Party? This is clearly a bunch of troublemakers. Even pitting people works on a shift system!
