In Their Own Story
Kazuma's party travels to the Crimson Demon Village after Yunyun visits them following a failed quest. Yunyun explains the letter from her father, which asks her to have a son with Kazuma to avenge the village when it gets destroyed. However, they discover that the part about having a son was actually an excerpt of a classmate's fanfiction accidentally sent with the letter. Still, Megumin decides to check her village's condition, so the party asks Wiz to teleport them. After defeating a group of female orcs and an army of goblins with help from Yunyun and Crimson Demon Clan members, they arrive at the village and visit Yunyun's father, who admits to exaggerating the aftermath of the attack by Sylvia. The Crimson Demons have been effortlessly repelling all Sylvia's attacks. Later, Sylvia takes Kazuma hostage and steals the Mage Killer, fusing with it and destroying the village.
