#310 - I'll help you
That damned Archduke of Hell!
Zun Zun angrily kicked a nearby stone to pieces.
I've seen people run from debt collectors, but I've never seen a debt collector send the debtor away, and to another world no less!
Doesn't something seem off here!?
Just that yellow gem alone, with its massive magical power, Zun Zun dares to say is worth at least 100 million Eris, but Vanir would rather give that up than help take away the reality-warped Max, for one of two reasons.
One is that he doesn't have a way, unable to take Max away for some reason, like a demon's contract that he values as much as the fairies.
The other is Vanir's twisted sense of humor.
That guy's favorite thing is to savor other people's negative emotions; he'd rather die than not taste delicious negative emotions. In fact, that's the whole purpose of building the underground city.
As an Archduke of Hell with the eyes of a clairvoyant demon, he must have seen the delicious negative emotions he could savor, and deliberately dragged his feet.
But either way, it means Vanir can't fulfill the request for now.
Isn't that business fraud!?
Damn it, I'll be sure to settle accounts with him when I get back! -- I'm never calling him Mr. Vanir again!
Speaking of which.
"Where the heck did you send me? Is this still 'Konosuba'...? No, this definitely isn't Konosuba."
Zun Zun looked around.
Night was falling, and the mountain peaks were hidden in the shadows. The stars in the sky seemed to be swallowed by the darkness, leaving only a few faint flickers, struggling weakly to penetrate this thick layer of darkness.
The shadows of the mountains were like phantoms, appearing and disappearing, making one think of the mountain spirits and monsters of ancient legends.
Under this oppressive darkness, the trees looked particularly twisted and sinister, their branches like outstretched claws, trying to seize any living thing that came near.
The wind rushed through the forest, making a "woo woo" sound, like a ghost whispering, or the sigh of the mountains and rivers.
At this moment, even time seemed to be frozen, everything was silent, only the breathing of the mountains and the slow passage of time. In this untouched secret realm, there are unknown secrets waiting for brave explorers to uncover its mysterious veil.
... Hey, hey, hey!
Zun Zun was starting to get nervous.
Could it be that Vanir thought he was too noisy, so he sent him to Hell in a fit of anger?
Thinking about it carefully, that's impossible. Maybe he's just assuming it's another world, but it's actually Hell or something; after all, he's never seen what Hell looks like.
The transition of night is the most unsettling.
A narrow stream flowed silently, the sound of the water particularly clear in the silence, like whispers in the darkness. The stream meandered through the cracks in the rocks, reflecting the silver trail of moonlight, adding a touch of mystery to this secluded scenery.
He walked upstream along the creek.
He didn't know why he was walking along the creek, probably because the fish jumping out of the river from time to time gave him a sense of security.
By the way.
The saury in this world swim in the water, instead of being stuck in the fields, which made him feel even closer.
The strange thing was that although there were fish here, there were no other animal roars. You know that nighttime is when predators are active, but there was no reaction.
Something seems to be...
"Roar -- -- -- --!"
It wasn't just seems, but really something was wrong.
A roar of a beast suddenly came from the mountains, the sound full of power and pressure, even from a distance, one could feel its powerful strength.
It shouldn't be a battle between beasts.
Zun Zun knew very well that the destruction caused by battles between beasts was undoubtedly huge, but now he could only hear the roar of the beast and slight fighting. If nothing went wrong, someone should be fighting it.
His analysis was irrelevant.
Rather, Zun Zun hoped that there was someone, so that he would feel safe.
In any case, he had to investigate.
Without hesitation, Zun Zun summoned Little Green -- a thick, verdant green whirlwind condensed behind him, not in the shape of wings, but like a thruster. The air was constantly compressed, and then suddenly released, Zun Zun was pushed by this huge thrust, disappearing in place in the blink of an eye.
The closer he got to the battlefield, the more he felt something was wrong.
He sniffed the air with his nose.
A faint sweet and fishy smell poured into his nose, and at the same time, a tingling sensation spread throughout his body, but it quickly disappeared.
It's poison.
The toxicity should not be weak, but Zun Zun's physique neutralized all the toxicity, and he did not feel any discomfort. Although he was fine, the person fighting it might be in danger.
Thinking of this, he sped up again.
Before long, Zun Zun came to a hillside.
This should have been a grassland area, but now the surrounding vegetation was almost withered and withered, obviously destroyed by corrosive poisonous gas.
He looked down.
On one side was a poisonous giant serpent about 30 meters long, 5 meters thick, with a ferocious appearance, jet black all over, dripping with stinky mucus, and horns on its head, and on the other side was a golden-haired, blue-eyed, beautiful elf girl, half-kneeling on the ground, her clothes almost completely corroded, her expression disgusted and helpless.
Which side to help, there was no need to say.
"--I'll help you!"
Zun Zun shouted from the hillside, then gathered fierce lightning in his hand, and the light gathered in one place.
"Light of Saber!"
He jumped down from the sky, like justice descending from the heavens, his whole body emitting bright electric light, chopping off the head of the giant serpent with horns on its head.
"-- -- -- --!?"
The beautiful elf girl, unwilling to await death, was stunned and speechless when she saw the poisonous dragon that had put her in trouble and was about to enter a defeat CG, its head being chopped off.
When the lightning in front of her dissipated, a beautiful young man appeared in front of her.
The first thing that caught her attention was his bright red eyes.
With care and worry, the red eyes that made people unable to help but indulge in them, seemed to be the most beautiful color in the world.
Slightly longer black medium-length hair scattered behind his head, gathered by a cherry-like hair ornament, and did not appear scattered.
And his absolutely beautiful appearance made her slightly stunned.
This was an extremely high-value face that could be called a 'beauty' even in this other world full of handsome men and beautiful women... even if the true identity of this 'beauty' was male.
Zun Zun also looked at the beautiful elf girl who was paralyzed on the ground.
The black and yellow leather battle skirt was almost completely corroded by the poisonous gas, revealing a large area of fair skin, with some reddishness on it, all saying that the poisonous gas had eroded her skin.
Her hair was messy, and her skirt was covered with dirt and leaf debris, looking embarrassed.
Although a pair of eyes revealed a hint of imperceptible panic, they still maintained the unique sharpness and charm of the elves.
Zun Zun tried his best to squeeze out a kind smile.

"Are you okay? Can you stand up?"
"... ... ...?"
The beautiful elf girl showed a confused expression.
Not good, could it be that the language is not understood?
"Hello? Hello? Konnichiwa? Ah Ni haseyo?"
Whether it was modern Japanese, Heavenly Dynasty language, beautiful country language, or even the other world Suqing language, no matter how many times he said it, the beautiful elf girl had an expression of not understanding.
She shouldn't be a fool.
Otherwise, she wouldn't be vigilant against him, she must not understand what he was saying.
Just as Zun Zun thought, the beautiful elf girl also spoke.
"Makabaka, Wu Xidixi?"
"Wai Bi Wai Bi, Wai Bi Babu?"
The two talked like chickens and ducks, and there was no way to communicate.
It's a headache.
The thing Zun Zun was most afraid of happened.
It is not possible to communicate without obstacles when going to every other world. Even Konosuba has its own language -- his language plugin was still installed by the idiot goddess Aqua, which easily turns into dementia as a side effect.
Now, this other world obviously uses another language system.
But there is a good saying.
As long as the mind does not slip, there are always more ways than difficulties.
Even if the language cannot be used for effective communication, but communication is not only based on language, eyes and body movements can be used as a bridge for communication.
"I, help, you, heal, injuries!"
Zun Zun pointed to her exposed skin that was reddened by poisonous gas, and then pointed to his own skin, making a healing action.
The beautiful elf girl took a deep look at Zun Zun, and after hesitating for a long time, nodded lightly.
Zun Zun thought she would not agree.
Every world and every race has its own rules. For example, most other world novels and animations clearly state that elves do not like humans to touch them, or people who are not recognized are not allowed to touch them.
The elves of Konosuba are the same.
However, now this beautiful elf girl has suffered serious injuries and is being eroded by poisonous gas, so there should not be so many rules.
Zun Zun snapped his fingers.
The quasi-elf Little Blue emerged from the gem. With her help, Zun Zun successfully healed the beautiful elf girl. She clenched her fists, seemingly not expecting that she would be healed so easily, and looked a little at a loss.
Huh?
Could it be that there is no healing magic in this world?
Zun Zun couldn't help but guess.
Then he found that the clothes of the beautiful elf girl were almost corroded, revealing a large area of fair skin, which made him not know where to look, so he took off his mage robe.
Under her vigilant and guarded green eyes, he put the robe on her.
"Clothes, cold, wear!"
He made a body movement to let her put on the clothes.
The beautiful elf girl didn't say anything, just silently put on the clothes, and then suddenly knelt on one knee, put her hand on the part of her chest, and said inexplicable words while bowing her head.
...Sorry, I don't understand.
Zun Zun twitched the corner of his mouth.
However, as the saying goes, if you don't understand, you can always keep smiling, so he kept smiling all the time.
And when the beautiful elf girl said halfway --
Her eyes narrowed, her green eyes flashing with dangerous light, and then she took out a thin sword from somewhere and stabbed it over.
Zun Zun thought he had offended the other party somewhere, and was about to resist and explain, but he didn't expect the thin sword to pass through his side and attack the target behind him.
"Waah Ah Ah Ah --"
A scream came from behind.
Turning his head, he saw a man with medium-length hair, glasses, and a face that was difficult to express in words -- just like he hadn't absorbed nutrients for a long time, causing him to be as thin as a firewood, falling to the ground.
Huh???
Seeing him, Zun Zun's eyes widened.
