Chapter 419: Chapter 405: The Demon King’s Army raids! Carrying the name of a ’True Scumbag,’ I absolutely cannot lose!

[ The scene shifts. In the dead of night, the loudest alarm sounded: "Demon King Army Attack Alert! A group suspected to be the Demon King’s Army is currently deploying on the plains surrounding the Royal Capital..."

Hearing the broadcast, Darkness immediately knocked on Kazuma’s door: "Kazuma, something big has happened. Get your gear ready, quick."

Kazuma, who had originally pretended not to hear, could only reply helplessly: "I’m sleeping..."

Darkness slapped the door with a look of annoyance: "This isn’t the time for jokes! The Demon King’s Army has appeared; we must join the battle too."

Kazuma, whose level was still only 17, poked his head out from under the covers and roared at the door that was banging...

"You’re the one joking, right? Did you not hear the alarm clearly just now? It said high-level adventurers. At best, I count as a mid-level one."

"Besides, there are plenty of powerful adventurers in the Royal Capital. Even without us, they can handle it with ease."

Darkness, resentful that iron couldn’t become steel, turned and left in anger: "You really are... enough. I’m going to find Aqua and Megumin for help. Let the low-level adventurer tremble under his blankets."

Although Kazuma was a bit angry, he didn’t refute her. He lay back on the bed, closed his eyes with a clear conscience to rest, and then heard voices coming from next door.

Aqua hugged her blanket tightly, crying with teary eyes: "No! Why must I go to such a dangerous place! I came to the Royal Capital to play! I absolutely will not go fight the Demon King’s Army, absolutely not!"

Megumin was full of fighting spirit, but Darkness didn’t dare let her act recklessly. She could only pull Aqua with one hand and drag Megumin with the other.

"Honestly! Please, Kazuma, think of something!" ]

〜Projection of All Worlds〜

"This party... without Kazuma, it really would fall apart. Just missing Kazuma, this weird team can’t function at all."

"Hahaha, this kind of low-level goading only works on Megumin. It’s useless on Kazuma! Who do you think Kazuma is?"

Seeing Aqua’s performance, which went even further than his, everyone outside the video laughed until they cramped... Hahaha, you two didn’t come out of the same stable, did you? Truly a match made in heaven.

Where there is a Sleeping Dragon, there is a Fledgling Phoenix. As expected of you, Aqua. Still performing consistently as the useless goddess. Simply a perfect match for Scumzuma!

.....

〜Grand Blue Dreaming World〜

Iori sputtered and laughed out loud:

"No wonder they say two different types of people don’t sleep in the same blanket. It really makes sense."

Darkness was too naive to think Aqua would go fight! This is the scummy goddess who can hide in the rear with a clear conscience while people charge the front lines.

Don’t look at how silly Aqua is and how she always pits Kazuma, but if you ask who fits Kazuma’s temperament best in the whole squad? That has to be Aqua.

At this moment, Kohei’s faith as an otaku was directly shattered. He muttered to himself with dull eyes:

"I’m going back to smash all my RPG games..."

A Hero who steps forward in danger? A kind Goddess full of justice? Heh... fake, it’s all fake! Fairy tales are all lies.

A Hero who can go back to sleep with a clear conscience while the Demon King’s Army invades the capital, and a useless Goddess who refuses to fight no matter what... So this is reality!

〜Type-Moon World, Fifth Holy Grail War Worldline〜

Watching the "heroic" performance of the Hero’s party, everyone present stared at each other, feeling full of complaints but not knowing where to start.

Artoria was silent for a moment:

"Honestly... are they really a Hero and a Goddess?"

Emiya Shirou was instantly speechless. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to refute, but he couldn’t find any point to refute. Even he had this feeling.

Although it feels dangerous for a level 17 Kazuma to go, what is with this attitude of sleeping peacefully because it’s none of his business? You two are too scummy, Kazuma! Aqua!

Seeing the Goddess Aqua’s performance, even Red A couldn’t bear to look:

"Kazuma counts as a minor issue; Aqua is the real heavyweight here..."

Clearly, her status as the Goddess of Water is higher spec than his own black-hearted boss, but why is she so cowardly?

And come to think of it, it seems she hasn’t actively crusaded against the Demon King’s Army from start to finish.

It was all the enemy crashing into the muzzle of the gun... Thinking about it this way, those Demon King Generals are a bit too pitiful!

〜OVERLORD World〜

Ainz was speechless:

"The Royal Capital conducts nuclear bomb drills every day, yet the Demon King’s Army still dares to come..."

Before you attacked the Royal Capital, did you not discover the circles of giant craters in the vicinity? Didn’t you think about who caused that?

Shalltear was stunned:

"Wait... Kazuma is only level 17? Are you kidding-Arinsu?"

The Demon King’s Generals have almost been wiped out by him, yet his level hasn’t even exceeded 20? You can’t joke like this. You’re the one using cheats, right?

Demiurge slowly shook his head:

"Shalltear, don’t look at Kazuma’s low level; he is the core of the squad."

Sometimes levels don’t determine everything. Having a good brain is the key. Smart people have smart ways of fighting.

Moreover, this squad can’t function at all without Kazuma. Not to mention that those Demon King Generals were all defeated by methods he thought of. Even Sylvia, who was immune to physical and magical attacks, didn’t escape.

.....

[ "How long are you going to argue!" Kazuma, who had lain back down to sleep, suddenly sat up: "Is there any need to risk danger and get involved in this battle?..."

As he was speaking, Kazuma seemed to think of something. His eyes lit up, then he kicked off the blanket, jumped up, and started putting on his clothes.

"If I can show off my presence here, I can go back to living in the castle! Besides, with so many high-level adventurers, there’s no reason to lose!"

"And there’s no need to fight the Demon King’s Army head-on. Just doing something slightly conspicuous is enough."

On the other side, Darkness was still pulling at Aqua, who refused to go even if she died, and Megumin, who had started fantasizing about shining brightly. Just then, Kazuma, fully equipped, pushed the door open and entered!

"You guys! The country is facing a crisis. What are you doing here? Let’s go, it’s our turn to take the stage!"

As for Aqua, who refused to go just a moment ago, Kazuma solved the problem with a single move. He dragged Aqua by the leg and led the squad towards the battlefield.

Kazuma dragged her along briskly, remaining indifferent no matter how Aqua cried and struggled. ]

[ .....]

〜Projection of All Worlds〜

"Hahaha, that motion of putting on clothes, you’re from the village too, right? Bearing the name of Scumzuma, you absolutely cannot lose!"

Everyone outside the video felt something was wrong as they listened to Kazuma’s reasoning... Young man, you are setting a flag! Summarizing your words, it just means ’the advantage is mine’!

.....

〜Cautious Hero: The Hero Is Overpowered but Overly Cautious World〜

Ristarte breathed a sigh of relief, seeing Kazuma finally agree to join the battle:

"Sure enough, it has to be Kazuma. Dealing with Aqua is a piece of cake for him."

Aqua, whom Darkness couldn’t handle, was solved by Kazuma in one move. He has her completely under control.

After all, the enemy has reached the Royal Capital. As a Hero and a Goddess, not joining the battle is really unjustifiable! You know, if the Royal Capital falls, it’s game over.

"Joining the battle at this level is too irrational,"

Seiya said, adding nothing more.

Since most of the high-level adventurers are participating, there is no need for Kazuma, a mid-level adventurer, to take this risk. It is simply too incautious.

Ristarte put her hands on her hips and stared at Seiya:

"What nonsense are you talking about? It’s rare for Kazuma to have such a sense of justice for once!"

Seiya added with an unchanging expression:

"He just wants to stay in the Royal Capital..."

As soon as these words came out, Ristarte was instantly sunk. Her whole person became gloomy; she couldn’t refute that sentence.

〜Gintama World〜

"I want to ask you the same thing. The country was in crisis. What were you doing just now?"

Veins popped out on Toushirou Hijikata’s forehead. You have the nerve to lecture others? This face-changing is too fast, isn’t it?

"Calm down, Toshi!"

Only Kondo remained calm, his expression unchanged:

"Kazuma has just reached his rebellious phase. There are always a few days when one doesn’t listen to their mother’s discipline."

"Look, he is still willing to step forward for the country. He is still a Hero full of justice!"

Hearing this, Toshi retorted speechlessly:

"Kondo-san, save that sleep-talking for the night. So Zura has also just reached his rebellious phase? I’ve never seen such a long rebellious phase."

Ring ring... Just as Toshi wanted to say something else, he took out the phone that was ringing nonstop and answered it.

"It’s not Zura, it’s Katsura!"

"Bang—"

Toshi crushed the phone in half with force, utterly speechless:

"Who cares about that!"
