Chapter 16 - INTERLUDE – SCENE 3

—Aqua-sama, I Will Not Admit Defeat! 2

— Something major happened today.

Today, I drew graffiti on the statue of the goddess Eris for amusement as usual. While I was being chased everywhere by the evil Eris Cultists…

A magical loli suddenly appeared and rescued me when I was about to be captured by the Eris Cultists.

What was happening?

Was this a reward for my persistence in vandalizing the statue of the goddess Eris?

"My name is Megumin! The top mage of the Crimson Demons, and the one who uses Explosion Magic! Hmph! Since I'm here, I will not ignore this!"

The mage girl said and made a cool pose. She was the type I liked.

So cute. She was like an angel, and right in my strike zone.

What was this kid? An angel?

"Hey, you're a Crimson Demon!? Wa- Wait, you made a mistake! We are the victims!"

"Ca- Calm down! Let's talk this over!"

The two Eris Cultists hurriedly searched for explanations…

"What a pity. Those excuses might fool some foolish people, but they will not work on my crimson eyes!"

I thought she may be an angel. It seemed she really was an angel.

She believed me unconditionally. I was so happy. I want to take her home!

No, oh dear, oh dear. I could barely stop myself from embracing her in public!

I was warned by the police just last week. It wouldn't go well if I simply pounced on her.

I must calm down.

"No, you need to have your crimson eyes checked!"

One guy grumbled. Yes, now is the moment!

"Yeah, we are the Eris Cultists in this city… Ah!? This is bad!"

I pushed away the hand that was grabbing me and escaped into the alley.

Luckily, those two Eris Cultists didn't follow.

I peeked from the alley and discovered that the loli who rescued me was panicking.

How cute.

"Hey, how are you going to compensate this! That woman was an Axis Cultist! She drew graffiti on the statue of Eris-sama in our church!"

After being scolded by the angry man, the loli trembled.

Next time, I will pour a lot of Tokoroten Slime into that guy's mail box.

"Before that, she took all the bread that our cult prepared to feed the unfortunate!"

I was unfortunate, so I had the right to eat that bread.

The real misfortune was my love life.

Since the handsome youth with the magic sword left me, I hoped this loli could love me.

"That. Uh, I'm really sorry… I-I just arrived in this city recently…"

The two Eris Cultists approached as the panicking loli explained.

At this moment, I turned to look at the other end of the alley.

After all, I was very experienced and knew his route well.

At this time, that guy would definitely be patrolling this area… There he is!

I grabbed his hand and made my accusation with tears in my eyes.

"Please help! The Eris Cultists who were chasing me suddenly started abusing a little girl…!"

"Eris Cultists!? No, they won't do such things…"

I ignored his suspicion and pointed in the direction of those Eris Cultists.

"Policeman! These are the people!"
