As everyone settled down, Megumin pulled me aside to talk

"Why didnt you defeat the demon?" she asked

"Like I said, I didnt have enou-" I wasnt able to finish my sentence because she then glared at me

"The demon seemed like a nice guy," I said

"The demon... was nice?" she questioned

"Well, yeah, I understand that demons have a reputation of being dangerous and destructive and all but this one was polite and didnt kill me the moment we made eye contact, well now that I think about it he went into a battle stance but then said something about me being familiar and for that reason didnt want to fight me," I explained

"Well, I dont know what to say," replied Megumin

"That's a first," I said and got smacked on the forehead

Yunyun then spoke

"Y/n, thank goodness you're okay," she said

"Well, yeah I might not be an actual Crimson demon but I received the title of one by your father so, what kind of crimson demon would I be if a greater demon killed me," I said

"I guess your right, but then why didnt you defeat it?" she asked

"Ah! I just remembered when I was in the forest looking for the wanted demon I encountered, that person who fought me when we were traveling from Alcanretia to Axel," I said

"Um, yeah" they both said in unison

"We fought her and the greater demon she resurrected," said Azami

"Wait what?! I thought I finished her with my explosion?!" yelled Megumin in anger

"She cut her arm off to escape and somehow regrew it by the time she fought us again," I explained

"Wait what?!" yelled Yunyun

"She got away again and because I used up most of my mana, I couldnt really fight the greater demon when I encountered him,"

"I see" they both said

"By now my mana should be back to-" as I opened my stats menu I saw that my mana was still half way full

[Eh?]

"What happened?" asked Yunyun

"My mana is still half of what it needs to be," I said

"Why dont you use a potion then?"

"I dont have any left,"

"Oh" said Megumin

"W-Why dont you make more?" said Yunyun

"The ingredients that I need were around the area that is now a wasteland," I said

They seem to know what I was referring to

"Sorry" Megumin apologized

"... *sigh* I know that I can only use 20 low level spells, 10 intermediate spells, and 5 advanced spells."

"I see" said Yunyun

"What I really want to know is how the person got their arm back,"

"As I was fighting the demon, I read its memories while I wasnt able to get useful information I saw that she came to Axel, found an Arch-priest able to use high level healing spells, she granted her an absurd amount of money and that arch priest healed her arm, while 'twere fuzzy, I could say to that the arc-priest hath long light-blue hair," explained Azami
