You know I had this big joke that was supposed to be here, something along the lines of updating this story twice within the same week, but I missed that window and now the joke doesn't work… Damn you procrastination! As penance for my weakness, I made this chapter a bit longer than usual! Hope you enjoy!

Last time on Dragon Ball-Damn it, I did it again!

"I'm sorry what?!" Izuku asked in complete shock at what Yun Yun just asked him. Of course, she took his question literally and answered honestly.

"I said I need to have your children!" She yelled at the top of her lungs... Again. Ok, Izuku realized quickly that he was missing something here, YunYun was not this forward. Izuku expected this shit from Darkness but never YunYun! 'Ok, maybe that's not fair. Darkness isn't brave enough to say it in front of the party'

Across the room, Darkness had the strangest feeling that she should be aroused. Which was strange considering what her teammate just asked of their leader in front of everyone. 'You go girl' she thought, wishing she could be in her place. Oh, the humiliation would have been unbearable!

"Give me that note!" Megumin shouted while swiping the letter from YunYun's hands. Immediately reading it at a fast pace. Izuku got curious and did the same. It was a warning saying that the village would soon be attacked by a demon army incursion that was spotted a few days earlier. Something to look into after this issue was solved.

And in the second half, it spoke of a prophecy where YunYun, the only survivor of the attack(wait but I'm here too! Megumin said but was promptly ignored) falling in love with a legendary hero that lived in the starting town of Axel for some reason. 'Ah, so that's where that came from... Wait a minute.'

"Is it just me or did the handwriting change completely?" Izuku commented which made Megumin check the bottom. 'Legend of the Crimson Magic Hero, Chapter 1, Author: Arue.' Megumin crushed the letter the moment she read the author's name.

A round of curses that could make a Bakugo blush later and Megumin finally calmed down. Relatively speaking of course. "A demon general's going to be the least of that damn Arue's problems when I get my hands on her!" Hearing the name Arue YunYun froze and started muttering curses herself, though they were barely worse than what some school children could come up with.

'Too pure, whoever wrote that needs to apologize, the poor girl looked close to tears when she said that.' Izuku thought. The fact that they were being attacked by a general was to be taken seriously though. Now that Hanz was dead and Wolbach was recruited that left only 3 generals remaining. Which meant...

"It's almost over." Izuku said aloud which got everyone's attention. "There are only 3 active generals left, if we're lucky Aqua should be able to break the barrier already. And if we get rid of the one attacking the Crimson Demon village then it would be almost guaranteed. It just feels so surreal."

Silence prevailed as the party chewed on the idea. It really was surreal. The war had been going on for generations. Over a century in fact, and now. In a little under a year, there was a good chance that it would not only be over, but they would be the ones to end it!

On one hand, it felt amazing, they'd be remembered for generations to come as heroes. On the other hand... It would mean that the adventure would be over. What would happen then? "B-But I just got here." All Might whimpered, unintentionally(or perhaps not, people underestimate his people's skills) removed the tension from the room.

"Heh, let's not worry about all that. We'll cross that bridge when we get to it, besides I already have a pretty good idea of what my wish is going to be!" Kazuma convinced them to drop the issue. Though Aqua did grill him about the wish being some creepy neet nonsense which got that argument rolling again.

Now that Izuku thought about it, between Kazuma, himself, and now All Might, they had 3 wishes waiting for them. That brought the green paladin a new sense of security, one wish might not have been enough. But with 3? They could make sure everyone got what they wanted with that much power.

"Kazuma-kun is right, for now, we should rest and make plans to visit the village. For a number of reasons." Izuku said with a smile, the demon girls nodded furiously, both wanting vengeance for Arue's poor joke.

Eris and Aqua obviously wanted to come for the sake of finishing their quest, both were pretty excited at the thought of taking down the demon king. Plus Izuku could tell that they wanted to tease the two demon girls the entire time.

Kazuma just wanted to meet Megumin's parents. Something about future blackmail material. '*sigh, those two are constantly at each other's throats.' It was like watching two siblings that love and hate each other in equal measure. On the other hand, YunYun was the shy but kind sister that just wanted the two to get along.

'My party really is like one big dysfunctional family huh.' The thought put a smile on Izuku's face. Yeah, he wasn't giving these guys up any time soon. He'd make those wishes count.

Iris wanted to come because she was left behind last time. Plus she always wanted to visit the legendary village. Wolbach actually didn't want to come since she had bad memories of the village, barring Megumin of course. And All Might was on the fence.

On one hand, he wanted to go with his successor on this new adventure. On the other hand, he could get started with his new job as a local hero right away. It was a tough call. Darkness also wanted to stay surprisingly enough.

"With the seven of you going you have more than enough firepower to take down a general. Besides I need to stay behind and handle some of the paperwork for Toshinori-san's new position. Just remember to hurry back and maybe grab me a souvenir!" She asked, secretly dying internally from the missed opportunity of possible pain and torment from said general, as unlikely as those things were given her level.

Wiz of course needed to stay to look after her shop. Thankfully Vanir was in charge of the actual purchasing and manufacturing of material while Wiz just handled the front desk. The shop was actually making a profit for once!

With that those who were going got up to prepare their things. They would all need a good night's rest for what was to come. In more ways than one, Izuku in particular just realized that he would be meeting the parents of his sort-of girlfriend. 'We never did finalize what our little situation actually was, did we?'

Oh well, that was a problem for tomorrow's Izuku. A few hours of rest later and Izuku woke up to the pleasant surprise of Eris sleeping at his side. And judging by the noise that he was hearing the rest of the party was already awake.

Meaning that it was time for him to get up, Eris woke up at the disturbance and looked surprised for some reason. "Aww, I expected you to blush and sputter after seeing me. What happened to my nervous little hero?" Izuku chuckled at that and shot back.

"He got a harem and had this happen too many times for it to work on him anymore." He said, earning a chuckle from the goddess. After a few more minutes of poking fun at each other, the couple entered the kitchen and were met with the pleasant sight of an already cooked breakfast.

"Good morning young Midoriya! I hope you don't mind but I took the liberty of making breakfast for everyone as a sign of thanks for all the help! I made a classic all American breakfast for old times sake and it looks like they all like it!" Breakfast from All Might? Yes, please!

"Who would have thought sweet syrup and savory sausage could taste so good together?!" Megumin voiced her opinion on the food happily. Enjoying the eggs, sausage, pancakes, and fresh milk on the side… A little too sugary for Izuku's tastes but it was still delicious.

"So, are we ready to head out? Yunyun should be able to teleport us into the village so we shouldn't need to pack up or anything." Izuku got a thumbs up from Yunyun who finished her breakfast quickly while heading towards the main hall.

They'd need a good deal of space to teleport so many people at once, along with a mana infusion from Kazuma. Teleporting one or two people would be fine, but with seven people going it was going to take more than Yunyun could provide alone.

With a flash of light, the party appeared right at the front gate of a relatively small town. It was a bit larger than Izuku thought it would be but still had the image of a cozy little place. One of the first things the party saw was the giant griffon statue, which according to Megumin was a real griffin that was petrified and kept around as a tourist attraction.

'Something tells me making previous enemies into attractions is a common practice here...' Izuku though with a sweatdrop. Their first stop was the village chief's home. From what the letter said the former leader might have passed away, if so then Yunyun would take her father's place... Nevermind! He was right there, waving at us while wearing the most chuuni outfit I could think of. Wow, they really are all related.

Apparently chuuni tendencies were a racial trait, now that Izuku thought about it Crimson Demons and their traits just scream genetic manipulation. There's no way something like this could come about naturally… He blamed the reincarnates, they seem to love leaving their mark in this world.

"So, you're the famous Izuku Midoriya. I gotta say I thought you'd be taller." Izuku gave him a deadpan stare. "Not to say you aren't strong, the kingdom has already made your stats public. Says it gives the army a serious morale boost knowing that you're around." Wait really? Huh, that was honestly really cool. It reminded Izuku of how All Might used to be treated.

" I assume you're here for the demon general and not just a social call?" He asked curiously.

"A little bit of both actually. I always wanted to visit the crimson demon village, considering that two of my party members and loved ones are from here made sure of that. The demon general was just a nice incentive." The man let out a deep belly laugh at that.

"So the general was incentive eh?! Keep up that attitude and you'll be more than well-liked here. Stick around for a few more minutes and you'll probabl-" Hiropo began until a loud alarm rang across the village which said:

"Demon king army alert, demon king army alert. Everyone who is free, please gather before the Griffon statue at the village entrance. We have visuals of the enemy, they number about a thousand."

A thousand huh? It shouldn't be too bad then. The village was located in an easily defendable position and everyone had high-level magic skills. This place was essentially an impenetrable fortress, even before the party came along.

Oh, how right he was. This wasn't even a battle, it was a massacre! At this point, Izuku was convinced that the demon lord's army was completely incompetent. The leader, a woman named Sylvia seemed to be the only one who could withstand the constant barrage of magical attacks, the rest of the invading force was crushed...

"Do you mind if I go out and speak to that general? I'd rather try the diplomatic route before doing anything unnecessary." Izuku asked Hiropo out of respect. The chief seemed surprised but shrugged in the end.

"Uhh, sure? I don't see why, she's just a chimera. But since she's a demon general I can see why you'd want to avoid fighting if possible. Just be careful, as you could see before she has a very high magic resistance stat." Izuku nodded and head off at full speed. Sylvia was retreating with the few survivors from the attempted invasion but at a speed that Izuku easily caught up with.

Appearing in front of them, they stopped in their tracks and got into various fighting positions. At least until one of them recognized Izuku and immediately put down his weapon. "M-Midoriya-sama! What are you doing here?! Everyone, drop down and beg for forgiveness! Quickly!" The half dozen or so enemy soldiers did just that, bowing in a dogeza position, praying for mercy. All except Sylvia who's eyebrow twitches uncontrollably.

'I didn't think my reputation with the demon king's army was this bad yet!' Izuku gave a small cough to catch their attention and kept his eye on Sylvia just in case. "I just came to talk. It's obvious that your attack was a failure." The soldiers shivered while Sylvia tsk'd in annoyance.

"Regardless you're a general Sylvia-san. I can't just let you walk away without issue. I am willing to accept your surrender though." Izuku gave them his ultimatum. He didn't want to fight them outright, that would be a massacre, he'd much rather end this without violence.

"R-really! Sylvia-sama, please take up his offer! I'll follow you to the death but resisting would be futile against him!" The man that seemed to be some kind of officer begged his general. Sylvia seemed to think it over before returning Izuku's stare.

"And what would happen to us if we surrender? My soldiers might be spared and taken in as prisoners of war. But a general like me? Surely I'll be killed within the day." She asked, worry in her voice.

"Not necessarily. This isn't common knowledge, but of the 5 generals that have been defeated, only 2 have died." Izuku revealed, shocking her and the rest of her soldiers. Information on the generals was scarce, even to their own side.

"Beldia and Hanz are dead. Both attacked city's filled with innocent people, something I couldn't let happen. Wiz-chan, Wolbach-chan, and Vanir-kun are my allies and are under my protection. Things don't need to end in violence between us, though it depends on your past crimes." Izuku admitted. It all depended on their past, their present decision, and their future intentions.

The soldiers would most likely be taken in and treated well enough. Prisoners of war were treated humanely and with respect, according to international laws. Though as a noble Izuku would have a good deal of influence on their punishment since he was the one that captured them.

As for Sylvia, the situation was similar. If she was like Wiz, Vanir, or even Wolbach, who was more of a nuisance than a true threat then she'd be given a pardon for her minor crimes. However, if she was a competent general...

"Among the generals, I'm considered one of the weaker ones. However, my reputation seems mixed. I'll admit that my crimes against Belzerg are many, however, I have never engaged in wanton destruction. What does that do with my case?" She admitted and asked, Izuku's detect lie was silent the whole time. And to answer her question it really depended...

"If you surrender peacefully then I'll try my best to make any punishment as lenient as possible. I have a good deal of influence with the kingdom so I should be able to curb the death penalty at the very least." Izuku replied honestly. He wouldn't gain anything by lying, and it would just feel wrong if he did to someone who's already lost hope.

"May I have time to think about it?" She asked with a forlorn expression, most likely thinking that Izuku wouldn't allow it.

"Yes, but only on three conditions." The paladin's answer surprised them but he kept going. "First and foremost, you will never attack this village again. Second, you will tell me the name and last known location of another general. And finally, the time limit to answer will be two days, no more. Are these acceptable? And before you even try, I'll know if you're lying." Izuku finished with a quick glare, daring them to try.

"Y-Yes, that offer is more than generous! We'll head back to our camp and tell the others, just... Please if some rogue agents choose to attack know that it wasn't I who sent them. My men are loyal to me. Almost fanatically so, and that can become a problem on occasion." She muttered, annoyance clear in her voice.

Understandable, it's not like a few rogue soldiers would be much of a threat anyway so Izuku nodded and allowed it. "As for the second condition... We generals don't know much about each other as a rule, however, I can give you partial information on the remaining two. The first is a priest of Regina named Seresdina. All I know of her is that she's our spymaster and the only human among the generals." The information was useful if a bit lacking. Izuku accepted it and waited for the second general.

"Then there is the king's daughter... Truthfully I don't know her name, I doubt any of the generals do, she's rather secretive. Though there is a rumor that she's the strongest among us. Even more so than Vanir, however, I've never seen her fight. She's also a skilled strategist, though tactics seem to be her strong suit." The demon king had a daughter? Interesting. If she really was the strongest as well as a tactician then it's a good thing we left her for last, there's no telling what the other generals could do if they were lead by someone competent...

"That will do. You can leave now but remember, you have two days to come to a decision. If you don't return, I will be forced to raid your fortress on the third, I hope you make the right choice." Izuku gave them a soft smile before heading back to the village, leaving a nervous, yet relieved enemy behind.

Back at the village

Upon reaching the village Izuku noticed Hiropo giving him a questioning look. He stopped and explained what happened to him and the chief let out another laugh at what his guest just did. "Not bad kid! Not bad at all! You'll definitely get along with everyone here. Speaking of which your party headed out to visit little Megumin-chan's parents. Their house is in that direction if you were wondering." After thanking the chief for pointing him in the right way Izuku headed towards Megumin's home, which was a bit smaller than he imagined.

After knocking at the door and waiting for a few seconds it opened letting Izuku see a miniature Megumin staring back at him with stars in her eyes. 'Please don't tell me I have another fan... At least this one is just a little girl, I won't have to worry about being embarrassed too much.'

"Dad! Sis' rich boyfriend is finally here!" ...Nevermind, Izuku forgot that he wasn't allowed to hope. Now he has to meet his girlfriend's parents. Oh god, the father, Hyoizaburo was wearing a train engineer's hat and was glaring at him. And Yuiyui, Megumin's mother, was staring at him with stars in her eyes as well...D-did she just lick her lips?!

Oh boy. Time to meet the future in-laws. Though if you'd read the LN's then you know what they're really like, especially when they find out about Izuku's exploits. That scene with Sylvia was a bit on the spot I admit, but honestly, I couldn't think of a good reason why Izuku wouldn't try to talk them down diplomatically.

It's not like him to just rely on brute force and annihilate an enemy that had no hope of winning, so I gave Sylvia two days to think about it. And as a consequence, Izuku got two days to meet the Robinso- I mean the village. Oh well, it should all turn out fine. Till next time everyone!
