Me, a priest? How could that be!

Chapter 51 The Innately Evil Crimson Demon Child

The heavy rain lasted for seven days and seven nights.

It was pouring rain every minute, making it incredibly difficult for residents to go out. It vividly illustrated what it meant for the rain to be so heavy it looked like it was steaming.

In the past few days, everyone, including Aqua, has been involved in disaster relief and rescue efforts.

Even so.

This also dealt a heavy blow to Axel.

The floods caused streets to be submerged, town canals to become blocked and unable to drain water, crops to die in large numbers, and cattle and sheep to be found dead everywhere, a truly gruesome sight. Even the walls of Axel were washed away by the heavy rains.

If Axel hadn't looked so dilapidated at this moment, an unsuspecting person would have thought this was the Water City.

Charlotte felt a sudden urge to sigh.

—The goddess of water has so much water.

Don't let Aqua's foolishness fool you; she's still a goddess. If she were to act recklessly, she might just unleash a world-destroying flood, creating a true Genesis.

Fortunately, the rainfall was limited to a small area near Axel; unfortunately, the damage was astronomical.

The bounty for defeating the Headless Horseman is 3 million.

The compensation is 5 million.

Kazuma Sato inexplicably found himself burdened with a huge debt, and every day he was depressed and complained to Charlotte, lamenting that he should never have come down to the mortal world.

Compared to the original debt of 40 million, with Xia Luo's involvement, it skyrocketed to 200 million, a fivefold increase! ...I always feel like I've let him down.

the difference is.

Charlotte was in a fairly good mood.

Although Aqua was promised the bounty for defeating the Headless Horseman, he was not burdened with a huge debt. In addition, the Axel Guild gave him an extra 100 million as a reward for his previous contributions... including the reward for the information he provided.

Faced with this comparison, Kazuma Sato was devastated.

His own misfortune was hateful, but his friend's success was even more intolerable, so this guy coaxed Aqua to come and harass Charlotte every day, trying to persuade him to do his part in rebuilding Axel.

Considering that if she hadn't made Aqua make it rain, perhaps others wouldn't have been displaced, Charlotte ultimately decided to help.

I am kind-hearted and can't bear to see others suffer.

It's definitely not because I've tasted the benefits of fame, absolutely not!

Axel quickly got into the rhythm of reconstruction, and everyone was working enthusiastically. Charlotte was also building the city wall with the foreman.

have to say.

He eventually brought his talent to infrastructure construction. Even the foreman praised his skills as exceptional and talented, and wanted to take him on as his last apprentice to inherit the foreman's mantle.

But I was rejected.

He used the excuse that "he wanted to be a priest, and he still had dreams."

Just then—

With a deafening roar, a thunderous explosion echoed from afar. Charlotte's hand, gripping the shovel tightly, turned white, and her face turned pale. She then ran quickly toward the explosion site.

"Megumin!!!"

Seeing the Crimson Demon girl lying on the ground, he shouted, "You inherently evil Crimson Demon brat, I'll personally—"

"Charlotte, you've come at the right time. Carry me back, thank you."

"...Come on up."

Huihui climbed onto Charlotte's back, wrapped her arms around his neck, and said with a hint of pride, "How about it? Wasn't the crater I blasted this time huge?"

"Didn't I tell you not to do this anymore? Why did you still have to blow it up?" Charlotte sighed helplessly.

This is not actually about causing destruction.

Instead, they are building a reservoir.

There was simply too much water in Axel, and there was no way to drain it all out in a short time. So Charlotte came up with a solution: dig a big pit and divert all the water into it. If there was a water shortage later, they could draw water from there. It was a win-win situation.

This approach was quickly approved.

Digging the hole was both time-consuming and labor-intensive, so at Charlotte's urging, Huihui volunteered to help.

It started off well.

However, after many of the pitfalls were no longer needed, Huihui couldn't stop at all. This opportunity to release explosive magic without any burden or restraint was rare and precious, and she became completely obsessed.

"I won't allow someone to be used and then discarded!"

"It's not stolen, okay? You've finished your work, please don't cause any more damage around here!"

"I don't want to!"

"Let go, let go, I can't breathe!"

Huihui hugged Charlotte's neck tighter and tighter, as if expressing her determination never to be abandoned, while their chests and backs rubbing against each other brought a unique tactile sensation.

Charlotte stopped abruptly.

Huihui's voice came from beside my ear.

"I am a Crimson Demon, and almost everyone in the Crimson Demon race is a Grand Magus."

"...What do you mean by saying this at this time? Are you trying to pick a fight?!"

"What I mean is that I have a high IQ."

"You actually said it!"

"So I can guess what you're thinking!"

"Hmm!"

Caught red-handed, Charlotte was speechless. The soft touch he had just felt had indeed made his heart race a little. He tried to cover his embarrassment by speaking.

"...Actually, I really like your breasts because of your strong self-control."

"Are you trying to pick a fight?!"

"It's okay, Megumin. Even so, you're still older than Chris."

This is real.

Huihui at least has a little bit of ups and downs, but Chris is really set in stone... How do you know? I advise you not to ask.

"Fine, I accept this provocation!"

"Wait, wait, stop choking me like that, I really can't breathe! ...Fine, fine, you really think I'm easy to bully if I don't fight back! Come on, let's hurt each other! Let's see how you fight me when you're out of strength!"

"You mere high priest, you think you can outmuscle me?"

"You're just a Grand Magister, aren't you!"

The two rolled around on the ground like that, sometimes he was on top, sometimes she was on top, wrestling and neither of them would give in.

Damn it!

How can Huihui be so strong? Didn't she just unleash an explosion spell? How can she still be stronger than me even after that?

No, that's not it!

It must be because I couldn't bear to hurt her.

As time went by, their clothes became increasingly disheveled. Anyone who passed by would likely scoff and say they had no shame for doing such a thing in broad daylight.

Also at this time-

"Light of Saber!!"

With a loud bang, a bright bolt of lightning descended from the sky, striking precisely 5 or 6 inches from Charlotte's scalp, blasting a small crater. He could even smell the pungent odor of his own burning hair!

"Hey! That's dangerous! How could you suddenly use magic...?"

Charlotte was speechless.

Since Megumin only knows Explosion Magic, this advanced skill "Sword of Light" from the Archmage is obviously used by someone else.

Charlotte lay on the ground, trying to tilt her head back—

"Th-th-this... I can't ignore this! Quickly, let go of Huihui! Otherwise... don't blame me for being impolite!"

The first thing that caught my eye wasn't the other person's face, but a pair of black underwear with some kind of pattern.

"……kitten?"

"No...no!!!"

The next moment.

The girl's screams echoed across the plain.
