Crimson Demon Village

The **Crimson Demon Village** (紅(こう)魔(ま)の里(さと)) is a location in the Kingdom of Belzerg where the Crimson Demons reside.

## Overview

The village is home to the Crimson Demons, and is the birthplace of Megumin and Yunyun. Located within a forest filled with dangerous monsters, people rarely travel there by foot despite a well-trodden path leading to it, preferring magic methods such as Teleportation.

Due to being a rather small village, many residents have specialized tasks reminiscent of small communities pre-urbanization in both North American colonies and Europe during the 16th and 17th centuries. There is a tailor, baker, fisherman, a tapster, and even a fortune teller (world-specific), while some are unemployed.

Their community main economic activity is the tourism, as several "tourist attractions" exist in and around the village, obtained by the inhabitants to allure people into sightseeing there. The names of these attractions along with some local businesses, which despite being alluring are in most cases totally bogus, were given by "the most intelligent Crimson Demon" for attracting customers from outside the village.

The Village is usually under successive attacks from the Devil King's Army and monsters, being constantly destroyed (sometimes by its own inhabitants). However it is always easily rebuild by the villagers, using Earth Golems and summoned Demons.
