Chapter 24: Host's Contractor

"What did you mean by 'master of explosion magic is less interesting', huh!?"

"Tch, I am not saying the problem is with explosion magic, the point is at the master of [xx magic], the scope is too small."

Facing the annoying loli's question, Sato Hikaru sneered nonchalantly: "It was me; I would have chosen to say [Master of explosive power] or [lord of destruction]. That was much more handsome and imposing!"

"Guh! How could it…"

Hearing Sato Hikaru's reply, Megumin clutched her chest in pain, took several steps back while looking at Sato Hikaru in disbelief.

"I actually…actually lost to a non-crimson-demon-clan guy in a crimson-demon-clan-style self-introduction!"

"That's why I said that you are still too young."

Shaking his head at Megumin, Sato Hikaru turned around and raised his head at a 45 degree angle, and looked at the sky with a deep look: "The way of the crimson-demon is never-ending."

"Gah!"

Megumin's knees went limp as she knelt on the ground as if she had received a fatal attack. Her eyes looked at the figure of Sato Hikaru who had his back facing the sunlight: "I, I have been defeated…"

After issuing her declaration of defeat, Megumin knelt on the ground frustratingly forming an OTZ.

As for the student, Host, who was previously criticized, had unknowingly stood up, its hand holding a notebook and continued to write and draw something, seemingly recording something.

Sato Hikaru had no intention of disturbing him, and no longer had any thought of getting rid of this guy.

Because when Host introduced himself, he mentioned 'will soon become a servant of a certain little devil' which had awakened a dormant memory in his mind.

If Sato Hikaru did not remember incorrectly, the 'little devil' in Host's words should refer to Megumin's little sister, Komekko.

But Megumin just called her little Mekko, which made Sato Hikaru could not help but glanced at his phone when watching the anime.

Speaking of which, the two sisters, Megumin and little Mekko were more outrageous than the other.

When Megumin was 6 years old, she solved a puzzle that was said to be 'difficult to solve even for a sage' and released the 'evil god' Wolbach.

While little Mekko, when she was 5 years old, she met the upper-ranked demon, Host, while playing in the mountain and lifted the seal that Wolbach herself made to seal her other half. Which was the seal on Chomusuke's seal and made a contract with Host that after she had become an Archwizard, it will become her familiar.

"Hmm…why did it seem that the younger sister is stronger than the elder sister?"

"Mr. Sato…"

Just when Sato Hikaru was secretly comparing the two sisters, considering whether it would be better if he kicked Megumin out after a few years and recruited little Mekko as teammate, he suddenly felt someone tugging at the corner of his clothes.

Turning around, he saw Yunyun, who was previously so surprised that her eyes rolled back and was dumbfounded on the spot, had recovered.

At this time, she was looking at him in tears: "Le, let's take a chance to leave now…"

"Leave? Why do we want to leave?"

Questioningly looking at Yunyun, Sato Hikaru raised his staff and pointed at the direction they came from: "Take a look over there, then tell me again, why do we want to leave?"

Yunyun looked at the direction Sato Hikaru pointed and immediately saw the deep crystallized sand pit that was previously lush and green.

Looked at the "forest ruins"? Yunyun blinked her eyes and suddenly stopped panicking.

"Hey, you said you are called Host, right."

Seeing that Yunyun had understood the current situation, Sato Hikaru did not comfort her anymore, and directly looked at the big-headed demon who was still recording: "Seeing that your familiarity with the crimson demon clan, could it be that the wonderful little devil you mentioned was a member of crimson demon clan?"

"Please wait a moment, I'm almost done."

Host, who was holding the notebook, finished recording and looked at Sato Hikaru: "That little devil is indeed a member of the crimson demon clan, it is because of her that I did not attack you, but conversely, I would also like you to inform me of something."

"Ha…before I reply to you, why don't you tell us the name of your contractor?"

Facing Host's 'arrogant words', Sato Hikaru was not angry but just smiled and guided it: "As far as I know, the crimson demon clan all live in the crimson demon village, and they all know each other, even most of them were related."

"Who knows, the two people beside me might know your contractor."

Finished speaking, seeing that Host were still hesitating, Sato Hikaru smiled and added: "If everyone knew each other, and had close relations, they would also be happier to help you."

"Hmm…okay, there's also no problem in informing you."

In the end, Host was persuaded by Sato Hikaru's last persuasion, and said the person's name: "That little devil is called Komekko."

Hearing this name, both Megumin, who bent over in frustration, and Yunyun, who was no longer afraid, instantly turned beady eyed and broke out in cold sweat.

However, Host did not notice anything unusual from the both of them, and continued his talk.

"That little devil, although still young, but still courageous and smart enough. She will definitely become someone great in the future."
