Chapter 197

[The Hair Gel Man in the Sky: Heh, probably. After all, their emperor hasn't woken up yet, and he hasn't regained his power. Without their emperor, they have no chance against Captain Commander Yamamoto for the time being. Once Yamamoto enters the Wandenreich and goes all out, the entire Wandenreich will be evaporated.]

[Meme Lord: However, considering Yhwach's characteristics, if Captain Commander Yamamoto really went in, he would probably just use Auswählen to take back all the Quincy's power.]

[The Hair Gel Man in the Sky: It will definitely happen like this. Yhwach wasn't someone who developed the Quincy; he developed the Quincy race entirely for his own benefit.]

In the original storyline, Yhwach made a very classic move: at the crucial moment, he Auswählen all of the Quincy's subordinates, killing them all. It was a ridiculous situation where he gave away all his subordinates despite having a huge advantage, and then he was killed by the opposing player who was using cheats.

[Meme Lord: If a fight really breaks out, be sure to call me! I want to come and watch!]

You're not here to observe, are you? You just want to get involved and cause trouble, aren't you?

Aizen of Las Noches couldn't help but mentally complain as he read Li Yue's message.

[The Hair Gel Man in the Sky: I'll let you know when the time comes.]

Despite inwardly complaining, Aizen still chose to let Li Yue come over to play.

There was nothing he could do; Li Yue could come over without his permission, so what else could he do but agree?

[Meme Lord: Then I'll just wait for Captain Aizen's notification.]

[The Fat Woman in Black Stockings: I mourn for Captain Commander Yamamoto and the Quincy Emperor.]

Li Yue was delighted to receive Aizen's promise, while Kasumigaoka took the opportunity to make a cheeky remark.

[Perverted Scum Man: Since you're all here, I'll announce some good news.]

Halfway through the conversation, Kazuma suddenly appeared.

[Meme Lord: Oh? What's the good news?]

[So Arrogant! What, have you become the leader of some villainous organization now?]

[The Perverted Scum Man: It's not that bad. I just suddenly realized that there's a group of incredibly strong chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) sufferers in this world. I can totally get them to help me fight the Demon King!]

345. Morax, you're at work again.

The Crimson Demon Tribe Clan, a scourge of the Konosuba World, is a powerful clan of magicians. While they are powerful magicians, they are all also suffering from chuunibyou (middle school syndrome).

Megumin from Kazuma's squad is one of the members of the Crimson Demon Tribe. However, Kazuma didn't know about the Crimson Demon Tribe at the time. Now, he knows about the Crimson Demon Tribe, and most importantly, the Crimson Demon Tribe Clan is incredibly powerful!

These chuunibyou (delusional) Crimson Demon Tribe are all incredibly powerful individually, and when they're combined, they're so strong that they could easily beat any other demon.

Kazuma received news that, for some unknown reason, the Crimson Demon Tribe was suddenly attacked by a demon army. So Megumin went back to check on the situation, and Kazuma saw the Crimson Demon Tribe Clan hanging up and whipping the demon army. In particular, there was a four-person team, one hand using magic and the other using Kido, and they were always chanting various incantations. Although they were really chuunibyou, they were also incredibly strong!

Kazuma has already dealt with two demon executives: a Headless Knight and a poisonous Slime. To be honest, he never expected that he would encounter the eight executives of the Demon King's Army while he was stuck in the beginner village of the Konosuba World. Then, while taking a hot spring bath, he encountered the eight executives of the Demon King's Army again. What's even more ridiculous is that there is a Demon King executive running a shop in Aksei Castle, the beginner village, and even the employees there are Demon King executives!

Kazuma still remembers that his original mission in this world was to defeat the Demon King and save the world.

Although the world is currently in a good state, the thought that the Demon King still exists, especially the previous Demon King's subordinates, who are all terrifying, makes it clear that even if Satou Kazuma wants to live a good life, he must first deal with the Demon King's Army.

So he came up with the idea of having the Crimson Demon Tribe help him get rid of the magic, and he even mentioned it in the Chat Group.

[The Perverted Scum Man: As long as I get along well with them, we can fight the Demon King's Army together!]

[Meme Lord: You're talking about the Crimson Demon Tribe, right? If you want their help, that's not a problem, as long as you're dramatic enough.]

[Perverted Scum Man: No problem, it's just chuunibyou (a Japanese term for someone with delusions of grandeur). Nobody understands chuunibyou better than us Japanese!]

[So Arrogant! Yes, nobody understands chuunibyou (adolescent delusions of grandeur) better than us!]

[Fat Woman in Black Stockings: I feel like the Japanese are going to have their reputation ruined in other parts of the world.]

[Meme Lord: Is it possible that the Japanese have already been labeled as having "chuunibyou" (a Japanese term for someone with delusions of grandeur)?]

[The Fat Woman in Black Stockings:...]

Japan's chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) is so famous that even without these two, everyone already knows how chuunibyou the Japanese are, so there's no need to worry about public opinion, because there's no public opinion about it anymore.

Satou Kazuma wants to use the Crimson Demon Tribe to attack the Demon King's Army, but he may find that the Demon King in the Demon King's Castle is already dead, with only the Demon King's daughter remaining. However, the most important thing is that the Crimson Demon Tribe will be transformed into Bleach powers when Aizen prepares to take action, and then used to target the Quincy.

However, it's not time yet. Li Yue just told Aizen to remember to inform him so that he could promptly reform the Crimson Demon Tribe and turn them into fighters. But for now, let Kazuma try to get the Crimson Demon Tribe to help them fight the Demon King.

After letting Kazuma try it himself, Li Yue turned her attention back to her own world.

Li Yue was located at the summit of Mt. Tianheng, which was also Li Yue favorite place to open portals to other worlds or return from other worlds. Because of its high position, she could see Liyue Harbor below from above, and there was also a certain height difference between Liyue Harbor two places, so she didn't have to worry about Reiatsu bursts affecting the area below.

After closing the Chat Group, Li Yue, standing on the mountaintop, drew the Enma's Blade, gripped it in the back of her hand, and stabbed herself in the stomach!

[Li's World!]

All the Demon God in the Inner World were released.

As mentioned before, they are released for a short period of time every now and then. So now that they have returned to Teyvat and there is no world they want to go to for the time being, they are released.

"They're out again."

After the Greater Lord Rukkhadevata landed, it looked down at Liyue Harbor and smiled gently, knowing it would be able to see the lovely Nahida again.

Are you the only one here today?

After Makoto Raiden, Raiden looked around and found that Venti and Zhongli were not standing beside him as she had last time, nor were Raiden Ei and Nahida.

Where did the shadow go?

"She went back to Inazuma. Although I am now the Thunder God of Inazuma, she is the Thunder God of Inazuma in essence. She went out to play for a while, and after she came back, she went back to Inazuma. At least Inazuma can't be left to Yae Miko alone."

When Makoto Raiden asked her a question, Li Yue gave her an answer.

"As for the others, they're all pretty much the same."

Li Yue looked at the remaining Demon God.

"Venti, that Wind Spirit, is a follower of the Anemo Archon. He can't stay in Liyue forever. Although he currently holds the position of Three Great Generals of Liyue, he is still a follower of the Anemo Archon, so he returned to Mondstadt."

That's more like it!

The Boreas nodded silently. This lazy wind Anemo Archon had finally remembered that he was a god of Mondstadt.

"As for Zhongli, whom Your Majesty favors, he is currently handling the political affairs of Liyue. As for Nahida, I made her the Dendro Archon of Sumeru, and she is currently handling matters Sumeru."

The Greater Lord Rukkhadevata nodded happily. Nahida had become the Dendro Archon. With Li Yue's help, Nahida would surely be able to become a qualified Dendro Archon.

Morax was equally satisfied, because this time Zhongli's main body was no longer present, which meant that his clone could move freely after being released.

Last time, he thought that while Zhongli was at work, Morax would retire and take a vacation in place of his original self. However, he didn't expect to be dragged to work by Zhongli. This time, with Zhongli not around, he can finally relax properly.

As they were thinking this, a rocky ridge suddenly flew up from below Mt. Tianheng, passing over everyone's heads in a flash, and then a figure jumped down from it.

"Your Majesty, you've finally come out again."

Upon hearing this voice, Morax's previously pleasant mood instantly soured, because the person who had arrived was none other than Zhongli!

After sensing that his clone had been re-released by Li Yue, Zhongli, whose main body was in Liyue Harbor, planted a rock ridge and flew up from there.

Seeing his clone released again, Zhongli wore an incredibly warm smile.

"Ah... yes."

"Your Majesty, you've come at the perfect time. I happen to have some official business that I don't know how to handle. Please teach me."

Zhongli's attitude seemed very sincere, but everyone present knew what Zhongli meant, so they all suppressed their laughter.

And Morax's lips twitched slightly beneath the mask; he shouldn't have been so happy so soon.

346. A small gathering at Wanmin Restaurant

Morax is at work again.

Inside the office of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, Morax, wearing a mask, was working with his head down. Ganyu, who had come to report on her work, looked at Morax, who was sitting behind her desk, with some curiosity.

Well, she knew that Zhongli was Morax and that Zhongli had inserted a clone into Li Yue's body, but she didn't expect that this clone would be released by Li Yue and then pulled over by Zhongli to help with government affairs.

Although they were both Vago Monarch, Ganyu felt a sense of wonder as he looked at Morax, who was busy dealing with something.

Ganyu didn't know what the Emperor was thinking. He wanted to give up his position to Li Yue to become the Rock Prince, but then he came here to do it all himself. If the Emperor wanted to do it all himself, why didn't he just continue to be the Rex Lapis? Why change someone else and then come here to work overtime? It's really strange.

However, as a loyal fan of the Emperor, Ganyu did not think there was anything wrong with what the Emperor did. She only felt that the Emperor must have a deeper meaning in doing so!

Sigh...

After completing a large amount of official business, Morax couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

"Your Majesty, is there anything I can help you with?"

Seeing Morax sigh, Ganyu quickly spoke up.

"It's nothing, everything has been taken care of. I was just making a sigh."

Morax said he was fine, but inwardly he kept complaining that his clone was too unlucky.

Originally, they thought they could retire in Li Yue's soul space, but now, Li Yue can release everyone from his soul space.

Everyone else in Li Yue's soul space could either travel around or rest at home after they came out, but Morax was the only one who needed to work after he came out. Is that reasonable?

But there was nothing he could do; after all, he was just a clone.

"Is that all the recent government affairs are?"

"No, this is only part of it. After you finish dealing with this part, there is still a large part to deal with."

Ganyu spoke, she pulled out a large stack of documents from somewhere and placed them on Morax's desk.

Morax looked at the newly piled-up documents, his eye twitched under his mask, and then he nodded helplessly.

"Okay, I'll continue."

Morax continued grinding here, while Zhongli was quite relaxed. Although Zhongli hadn't expected that Li Yue would release all the Demon God after returning this time, this unexpected surprise made him very happy.

With all the Demon God released, it means that Li Yue won't be traveling far for the time being, Zhongli says he can finally relax for a while without worry.

After sending Morax to work, Zhongli regained the freedom he hadn't had in a long time. He Yuyuko set off from the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor to listen to storytelling and drink tea.

Morax is working, Ganyu is helping, Zhongli is drinking tea. Everyone has a bright future ahead of them.

Li Yue and her friends went to Wanmin Restaurant for a meal.

"Oh my, it's been so long since I've had Xiangling's cooking."

In the backyard of Wanmin Restaurant, at a separate table, Li Yue sat in a chair and couldn't help but sigh. However, this sigh immediately drew a sarcastic remark from Hu Tao.

"Yes, yes, it's been a long time since we went out to eat together since you became the Rock King, Li Yue."

"There's no other way. If we go out to eat, it's easy for people to gather. So this time when we came to Wanmin Restaurant, I asked Xiangling to arrange a separate table for us in the back."

Li Yue helplessly spread her hands like a bear.

"If we were sitting inside eating, there would probably be a bunch of people gathered at the door by now."

"Not only that, Lord Geo Archon is also very busy."

Xingqiu, sitting on the other side, was also helping to explain.

Is he busy?

Hu Tao looked at Li Yue with a blank expression.

"He's always running around outside and hasn't been busy at all. All the affairs are handled by the Qixing and the Seven Arbiter-Generals. He doesn't have anything to do at all. Now, it's basically Zhongli who's handling things on the side."

"Huh? Is that so?"

Xingqiu was a little confused, after all, he didn't know what Yan Wang usually did.

"That's right, he wasn't busy with anything at all. He was mostly busy with other people. He was just running around aimlessly."

"Okay, I don't quite understand what God does on a regular basis."

Xingqiu shook his head helplessly.

"However, I believe that Lord Geo Archon must have had a deeper meaning in doing this!"

Unlike Hu Tao, Xingqiu wouldn't point her finger at Li Yue and complain; that's the noble upbringing of the second young lady of the Feiyun Commerce Guild.

Of course, most importantly, he dared not offend Li Yue, the King of Rocks.

"What could he possibly mean? He just wants to travel around. But since he takes me with him when he goes out, I won't hold it against him."

Hu Tao waved her hand to indicate that she didn't care, and then turned her gaze to a white-haired man next to Xingqiu.

"Speaking of which, who is this young man?"

"Oh, this is my friend, named Chongyun, a sorcerer who exorcises evil spirits."

"A sorcerer?"

Hu Tao looked at Chongyun curiously, and Chongyun also gave a very serious introduction to the flavor.

"That's right, Lord Geo Archon, Miss Hu Tao. I am a sorcerer who is traveling in Liyue with the goal of exorcising evil spirits. I happened to meet Xingqiu outside the city and we became friends."
