When morning arrives, Megumin and Aqua left early and went home after staying over the night. After that, Yunyun and I prepared our things for the travel to Crimson Demon Village. Yunyun seems to be not excited going home in her village.
"I think it's time for me to introduce myself to your parents."
Yunyun was caught surprise and her face turned red as she hit me in the back several times out of embarrassment.
"Moo! Haru-kun!"
"Hahaha!"
Her reaction was priceless and I laughed hard.
After checking everything, I locked all the entrance and we finally decided to leave. We went to the market district to buy some gift and souvenirs when we found Megumin together with her cat Chomusuke walking at the side of the road. She looks quite shock and her face was pale until Yunyun quickly went to check on her.
"Megumin, are you alright? What happened?"
Megumin held her head while trembling as her words made me remembered what I forgot last night.
"Da-Darkness and Ka-Kazuma... we found them sleeping in the same bed and both of them were naked! Those two has crossed the line!"
"Eh!!" Yunyun was shock and became flustered.
Memories of events flash through my head and because Aqua and Megumin stayed at my home, no one interrupted them from that night in the bath. In other words, things progressed with those two because of me.
"What are you going to do now?" I asked her.
"For now, I don't want to go back to mansion."
"Then would you like come with us? You should at least visit your family at your home village." I suggested.
Megumin sighed then she pointed to me.
"It's no use thinking about it. Alright then, I'll go with you two in Crimson Demon Village but you'll have to pay for my travelling expenses."
"No problem for me. It's better for me if you introduce me yourself to your father. Things will be more easy for me."
"Okay then, let's go!"
She lead the way herself.
---
We arrived at the Magic Item shop and talked with Wiz while waiting for Megumin to take her things from Kazuma's mansion. I brought a skill-up potion which caused a lot of money with just one bottle then I drank it in one gulp. When I checked my status in my adventurer's card, my skill points didn't increase a little bit.
"I guess I can't cheat my skill points with a potion."
When Megumin arrived at the shop, she looks quite mad while carrying her things.
"Did something happened?"
"Don't ask me!"
"Pfffft~ So, you're jealous of them."
"Shut up! Let's go already."
I tried to make fun of her but she didn't get angry at me.
Wiz-san made us stood outside the shop together then she casted a teleport spell while waving our hands at her.
"Teleport!"
When we arrived at the location, we found ourselves in the middle of the camp of female orcs.
"Eh?"
Yunyun and Megumin was surprised when I immediately used my secret technique. I used my legs and ran as fast as I can.
"Nigerundayo!!"
"Waaahh! Haru-kun!"
I immediately got chased by the female orcs.
Some of them tried to jump on me but I easily avoided their tackle.
"Sorry, but not today, Ladies!" I winked with a smile.
"Kyaaaaaah<3!!!"
"Stop making them fell even more for you, Haru-kun!" Yunyun yelled then her jaw dropped when most of female orcs suddenly fainted one by one from swooning over me.
"Eh?"
The remaining female orcs stopped chasing after me when Yunyun casted a spell and trapped them in a muddy soil.
"I won't let you have him! Bottomless Swap!"
"Wait! Isn't that Yunyun? Everyone, ran away quickly!"
The group of female orcs dispersed quickly as Yunyun let go of them from her spell.
I took a deep breath when everything was over.
"Haru-kun, are you okay?" Yunyun worriedly asked.
"I'm fine. It was a good warm up."
Megumin approached me then said,
"I'm amaze that you already know what's gonna happen if you didn't flee right away."
"I learned about them from some monster encyclopedia book that I read."
I moved down and to touched the ground, marking this location as my teleport point.
"Okay, I made this place as my teleport point."
"Hey, Yunyun! I've been noticing it... Isn't the Teleport spell can only mark three locations? How can he have more multiple teleport locations?"
"I don't know either. All Haru-kun told me that all the skills he learned can be upgraded to the next level but it requires a lot of skill points."
"What kind of job class does he has?"
"A Part-timer..."
"Huh? What is that?"
"He has no idea either."
When we arrived on the Crimson Demon Village, we are greeted by the sudden appearance of Crimson Demon villagers with their dramatic introduction.
"I am called Bukkororii! The son of foremost shoe shop owner among the Crimson Demons! An Arch Wizard, and wielder of Advance Magic!"
"Huh? Bukololi, what?"
"How embarrassing!" Yunyun covered her face.
"Welcome to Crimson Demon Village, Haru!" Megumin followed.
Since this is Yunyun's home village, I have to respect her village culture and properly return their greetings. Also, I want to see Yunyun getting embarrass with my introduction.
"Yunyun, I'm sorry..."
"Haru-kun?"
"If I want to be with you, I have to throw out this feeling of shame."
"What are you saying? What do you mean by that, Haru-kun?"
Yunyun looks very worried.
"That's why... I REJECT MY HUMANITY, YUNYUN!"
"Eh?"
Her eyes widened in shock as I perform different superhero poses that I saw on TV in my past life.
Chunni Mode: On
"Reality be rent... Synapse break... Banishment this world! I am called-- Haru! The foremost and fastest adventurer in Axel! The only honored one throughout heaven and earth!"
I mixed everything I know in my words.
"Wow!"
The villagers got amazed by my introduction.
"No outsiders has properly return a greetings before! That was really amazing!" Bukololi said.
"THAT WAS SO EMBARRASSING! WHAT ARE YOU DOING, HARU!!!"
"Hehe... I just want to see your reaction, Yunyun. It was worth the shame."
"MOO!!"
She pouted to me with teary-eyes as she shook me intensely.
"Hahahaha!"
Bukololi sneaked closely to Megumin then he asked and whispered.
"Hey, Megumin! What's the relationship with him and Yunyun?"
"I don't know but they're actually quite close." Megumin responded.
"It looks to me that they're already dating."
"No idea. Yunyun told me that they are just friends."
Megumin turned around and walked ahead inside the village while calling us.
"Yunyun! Haru! Hurry up and we're gonna visit my father's workshop! Isn't that your purpose coming here in the first place?"
"Yes!"
We followed after her.
---
After at a house which looks like a stable, Megumin slid and opened the entrance as we walk inside.
"I'm home!"
Suddenly, I heard several footsteps running towards us.
"Onee-chan, welcome back--Huh?"
A little girl who looks identical to Megumin appeared and she came to greet her big sister but she stopped when she saw me and stared at me for a moment.
She took a deep breath then yelled behind her back.
"Dad! Mom! Onee-chan has returned and she took a man with her!"
"What?"
"Meow~" Chomusuke jumped out of Megumin's chest.
