Chapter 229: Red Demon Clan Negotiation Obstacle Syndrome

~8 min read 1,416 words

"Father, why have you summoned me back?"

At the Belzerg Kingdom's frontline fortress against the Demon King Army, Crown Prince Jedeis entered the conference room and immediately asked his father upon seeing him.

"This was sent by your younger sister. Take a look."

The King of Belzerg handed over the letter in his hand.

"Hmm, a new Otherworld Reincarnated Hero has appeared?"

Jedeis was somewhat surprised after reading the letter.

"It cannot be confirmed yet. You must go back and investigate."

The King of Belzerg shook his head.

"But if I leave, what happens here?"

Jedeis hesitated somewhat.

"Spring has arrived; the Demon King Army also needs to do spring plowing, so they won't launch a major offensive right now. Even if they truly attack, with the fortress we can hold them back. Right now, what's important is to figure out the information on the newly appeared Hero."

The pressure the Demon King Army brought to the Belzerg Kingdom was immense; under these circumstances, the appearance of a new Otherworld Reincarnated Hero was a good thing for the Belzerg Kingdom.

First Prince Jedeis soon returned to the Royal Capital via a Teleport Magic Circle. After seeing his cute younger sister Alice, he rushed straight to the training grounds without even taking off his armor, which was covered in traces of battle.

"Your Highness Jedeis, that boy suspected of being an Isekai Hero caused this situation with just a casual gesture."

Seeing the training grounds that had already turned into the Crystal Basin, and listening to his younger sister's Bodyguard Kureya recount what had happened at the time, a sharp light gradually emerged in Jedeis's eyes.

The Belzerg Royal Family has a tradition of absorbing the bloodlines of Isekai Heroes, but that doesn't mean every Hero from another world will be looked upon favorably.

Only those individuals who possess powerful strength, and whose power is confirmed to be inheritable through bloodline, will be targeted.

There is no doubt that the person capable of causing the destructive effect on the venue before us, even if they are not an Isekai Hero, absolutely possesses a formidable bloodline.

For the Royal Family, whose adult members may need to go to the frontlines to fight and slaughter the Demon King Army, this is precisely the kind of Spouse candidate they need.

Of course, among these, Isekai Heroes reincarnated by the Goddess are the best choice, because they often have no excessive entanglement of interests with this world; once they become Royal Family members, they will truly integrate into the Royal Family and become the power protecting the Belzerg Kingdom.

"Go investigate that boy's situation thoroughly, see if he suddenly appeared in this world..."

Isekai Reincarnated Heroes have a characteristic: their appearance is always without basis, and they possess traits beyond common sense understanding.

The ancestors of the Belzerg Royal Family were once like this, and other Isekai Heroes who once joined the Belzerg Kingdom were also like this.

Jedeis returned to the Royal Capital again, and the little Princess ran over to find him: "Brother, you say, can I go be an Adventurer in the future?"

Members of the Belzerg Royal Family are born with the responsibility to protect the Kingdom; children born into it undergo aptitude testing in childhood. Any child tested to have inherited Ancestral Power and possessing combat talent will undergo combat training.

This training may not continue until adulthood; when the frontline war situation is tight, Royal Family members with extraordinary power must take up weapons and go to the frontlines to fight for the Kingdom.

For example, Jedeis himself, at age eleven, shouldered a sword and went to the battlefield with his own father, beginning to slaughter the Demon King Army.

And younger sister Alice, despite being hailed as the most outstanding Ancestral Bloodline inheritor in Royal Family history, is, when all is said and done, still a small girl.

Even though she subjugated an Evil Dragon two years ago, becoming the youngest Dragon Slayer, she still yearns for a different kind of free life.

Pity, such a wish is destined to be impossible to realize; born into the Belzerg Royal Family, and possessing such rare combat talent, it destined her life to not have too much freedom.

Jedeis reached out, somewhat pityingly ruffling Alice's little head, and said softly: "If it's confirmed that boy is a Reincarnated Hero, I think Father would agree to let you be an Adventurer for a period of time."

"Really? That would be wonderful."

Looking at the joy on his younger sister's face, Jedeis sighed inwardly.

This only possible freedom to obtain is still full of ulterior motives — a calculation for the Royal Family to get acquainted with a powerful Hero individual, thereby develop feelings, and unite together. The world is cruel, the younger sister is naive, yet Jedeis sincerely hopes this investigation into that boy will have a good result.

After all, even freedom full of ulterior motives is still freedom; compared to directly going to the frontlines to fight the Demon King Army, being able to let his younger sister experience a different life, to have the happy times of being an ordinary Adventurer, is enough.

Broly didn't know that starting the day after he received the bounty money, members of the Belzerg Royal Family were investigating him because of the extraordinary power he displayed.

After bringing Yunyun and the others from the Crimson Demon Village, Broly, acting as host with ample funds, entertained this group of Crimson Demon Clan girls who had come from afar, together with Yunyun and Megumin.

And these Crimson Demon Clan girls led by Yunyun, who could originally display the Crimson Demon Clan style in the village, seemed to have glitched up a bit after arriving in Axel.

Yunyun looked like a shut-in who had just stepped out the door into a foreign land, subsequently exhibiting maladjustment — especially when doing Crimson Demon Clan-style Self-Introductions to strangers, and then being stared at with strange gazes by those strangers.

"You'll get used to it. Outside is not too same as the village; outside people are all a bit not too normal!"

Megumin, beside her, in the manner of a senior, gave popular science to Niannianjuan and the others.

"Hey, who exactly is the not normal person?"

Beside her, Yunyun really wanted to retort, but was afraid of hurting these friends who came to celebrate her birthday, so she could only hold it in.

"You just need to treat the people here as enhanced versions of Yunyun, then interact with the people here in a way that doesn't make the enhanced Yunyun feel embarrassed."

Megumin said again.

Yunyun: "???"

How did she become the template object for communicating with not normal outside people? "I see~"

And the communication method Megumin imparted actually had quite good effect.

"Boss, please give me this one wrapped in pitch-black temptation... cough cough, one Chocolate Crepe."

The Crimson Demon Clan girls quickly learned the way to communicate with ordinary people of the outside world.

"I feel it's very necessary to compile a book, a textbook on how the Crimson Demon Clan should abnormally communicate with outside people after leaving the village."

Yunyun stroked her chin, wearing a pensive look.

However, Crimson Demon Clan members generally do not choose to live outside the village after adulthood.

The reason for not leaving the village is mainly because of the Crimson Demon Clan's unique way of thinking itself.

They always manage to use their own thinking logic to make simple things very complex.

Thereby, making ordinary people feel they are a bit mentally ill.

As for making the Crimson Demon Clan think and act normally?

Honestly, this might be harder than killing them.

After all, they are all self-important individuals who truly possess powerful strength — deep chuunibyou cases.

And the reason these Red Demon Clan girls were able to adapt to the Outside World so quickly was still thanks to this generation producing an abnormal Red Demon Clan girl like Yunyun, which let them, during their time at the Academy, more or less adapt to the way of getting along and communicating with normal people from the Outside World.

Of course, in the eyes of these Red Demon Clan girls, this kind of normal is absolutely the Red Demon Clan's abnormal; it's just that they've gotten somewhat used to it.

"By the way, Megumin, how are you getting along on This Side now?"

Suddenly, someone asked about this matter.
