The legend of the Crimson Demon clan started from Suqing

#415 - The highs and lows caused Sato Kazuma to get lost in a neighboring country

"Okay, is everyone ready?"

"Ready!" X 5

Three days after Alice's letter arrived, it was time for Zun Zun and the others to set off.

Apart from Darkness, who looked worried, everyone else had expressions of excitement and anticipation on their faces, as this was no different from traveling abroad.

"Everyone, wait a moment. We have a protection mission this time, you haven't forgotten, have you?"

"No, no. We're just going to look after Alice in our spare time, it won't interfere with our fun."

"Aqua, you've got it backwards!"

It would have been better if she hadn't said anything, as it only made her more afraid.

But the message had already been sent, and the arrow was on the string, leaving no room for retreat. There was nothing to be done.

And then—

"Teleport!"

After the light disappeared, the group arrived in the long-awaited royal capital.

"Halt! No admittance to unauthorized personnel!"

Oh, my, before they could come to their senses, they heard the guard's shout. It had to be said that the security of the royal capital was meticulous.

"Excuse me, actually—"

"Zun Zun-sama!?"

"...Huh?"

Suddenly, the guard in front of them walked up in a friendly manner, lifting his mask to reveal a familiar face.

"It's me! Do you remember me?"

"Ah, it's you!"

It was the guard they had encountered before during the Royal Capital Defense War and at the Fortress Frontline. He explained, noticing Zun Zun's confusion, that it was just a shift rotation and they happened to meet.

"I wonder what Zun Zun-sama is here for this time..."

"It's a request from the royal family."

Zun Zun handed over the envelope.

Looking at the royal crest on the envelope, the guard exclaimed, "As expected of Zun Zun-sama, to be so trusted by the royal family."

"It's nothing to boast about."

For ordinary people, being favored by the royal family would bring a sense of superiority, but for Zun Zun, who could live well without the royal family, the only reason he came was Alice's request.

"Please wait a moment, I will report to my superiors immediately."

"Thank you."

The guard left quickly after speaking.

Fortunately, he didn't open the envelope to confirm, otherwise, seeing the letter torn in half, who knows if Zun Zun would be arrested for damaging royal family's belongings—don't think it's absurd, in fact, many officials in ancient China were executed in this way.

"Zun Zun-sama, please come this way."

"Oh."

The remaining guards led them to the waiting room, and after he introduced them to the many guards in the guard room, saying that Zun Zun and the others were the team that had successively defeated the Demon King Army executives, repelled the invasion of the royal capital, and resolved the safety of the Fortress Frontline, they received unanimous praise.

Aqua, Darkness, Kazuma Satou, and Megumin were completely flattered and dazed, and even the shy Yui gradually showed a smile.

Zun Zun was certainly given special attention, but many people praised his beauty and the like, which only made him more unhappy.

A long time passed.

"Ah! You actually came!"

A mournful cry came from the opened guard room door, and there appeared a familiar mage who was pulling her hood low. Judging from her own magic power, she should be Rein, the noble lady responsible for education and serving as a guard.

"What do you mean 'you actually came,' that's too much!"

"That's right, that's right, Alice asked us to come, that's why we came here specifically!"

"Speaking of which, you should hold a ceremony or banquet to praise the team that defeated a Demon King Army executive, right!?"

Rein's attitude made everyone dissatisfied.

Kazuma Satou, Megumin, and Aqua, on the other hand, began to find fault, leaving her speechless and only able to awkwardly look away.

But that was only for a moment.

After that, Rein grabbed Darkness's hand, and after a pause, grabbed Zun Zun's hand, and took the two of them out somewhat forcefully.

"Dustiness-sama, didn't I ask you to find a way to get him to give up this request! If you entrust Princess Alice to him, it will definitely develop into a diplomatic problem! And Zun Zun-sama, I remember sending you a letter too, right?"

"I know, I've tried my best, but...please rest assured, I will drug him when we arrive in the neighboring country, so that he will sleep through the time Alice stays in the neighboring country."

"Darkness, you..."

Zun Zun never expected that this guy would harbor such a big conspiracy.

"As expected of Dustiness-sama, I feel relieved. And then..." Rein looked at Zun Zun again, "It's certain that Zun Zun-sama would come, but didn't I tell you not to bring him along? What if it develops into a diplomatic incident?"

"Don't worry, I have a way."

"What way?"

"If it really comes to that, I will destroy all the neighboring countries."

Zun Zun didn't seem to realize what he was saying at all.

Rein suddenly grabbed Zun Zun's collar excitedly, and said in a low and urgent voice, "What are you saying, if that happens, it will really develop into a diplomatic incident!"

"That's why I told you not to worry," Zun Zun broke free and said, "Kazuma's role is to die there, so that we have an excuse to take action! Please rest assured, I will definitely wipe out the royal family of the neighboring country from this world."

"Zun Zun-sama, are you a demon..."

Rein never expected that the person in front of her would go to such an extent, even abandoning the lives of his companions.

I don't know what's so surprising about this, it's just like 'kill my envoy, then there's nothing to talk about!' Only in this way can we justify our actions.

Darkness was also shocked.

"Zun, Zun Zun...Although Kazuma doesn't do anything good on weekdays, there's no need to go to this extent, right?"

"It's okay, anyway, Aqua can revive him, and besides, Kazuma doesn't care about this little life!"

"—Who said I don't care, don't make assumptions!"

Kazuma Satou in the distance suddenly shouted at the top of his voice.

I forgot.

This guy specially learned lip-reading skills to confirm whether someone was talking bad about him behind his back, so he must have known all about the conversation between the three of them just now.

At this time, there was another commotion outside the communication room.

The latest novels are at 69shu.com!

"Kazuma Satou! I heard that Kazuma Satou is here, is it true!"

The same familiar voice, belonging to a woman that Kazuma Satou was slightly afraid of.

Turning her head.

She saw Claire, a noblewoman always dressed in a white suit and serving as Alice's guard, rushing into the room. After seeing Kazuma Satou, she grabbed his arm without saying a word and dragged him to the corner of the room.

The two of them didn't know what they were talking about.

Zun Zun flicked his finger, and the black kitten originally huddled in Aqua's arms jumped down, stepped lightly to the vicinity of the two, and at the same time, the sound of their conversation entered his ears.

"What's wrong, white suit woman, you don't want me to be a guard either?"

"Don't call me white suit! But it's good that you came this time, I want to thank you."

Claire didn't have the animosity she had imagined, but instead expressed her gratitude, which made Kazuma Satou even more vigilant.

"You're actually thanking me, what's your intention?"

"No intention...or not exactly. Here, this is for you."

Claire handed over a necklace that she always wore on her chest to Kazuma Satou. Although the pattern was a little different, it could still be seen that it was the same as the important item that Darkness always wore to prove her identity as a noble.

"...Want to propose to me?"

"Go die!"

Claire shouted, but quickly swallowed the following words back, and quickly whispered, "It's not like that, I think only this time can I cooperate with you."

"Cooperate?"

"The reason I say this is because this meeting has a lot of political considerations...However, from the beginning, before discussing these factors, I was opposed to Princess Alice's marriage."

"I feel the same way."

The two seemed to have reached an agreement.

Kazuma Satou looked at the badge on his chest and asked, "Okay, what's the intention, tell me the details."

"Listen carefully. Princess Alice's partner is the first prince of the neighboring country, but perhaps because he has been spoiled since childhood, this guy is a very willful brat."

Claire had a very poor impression of the prince of the neighboring country.

This couldn't be helped.

After all, his innate combat ability was far inferior to Alice's, his appearance was far inferior to Alice's, and the neighboring country actually looked down on the kingdom very much.

Therefore, if Alice were to marry over, she would definitely be called a country bumpkin behind her back and be treated quite badly, which was the sorrow of all small countries.

"Therefore, I want to give you this."

Claire's eyes became gloomy, and she semi-forcibly stuffed a black paper package into Kazuma Satou's hands.

"What is this?"

"A poison that nobles use when burying political enemies..."

Before she could finish speaking, Kazuma Satou threw it out violently as if he had touched a hot potato.

"Bastard, do you know how much money I spent to get this!?"

"Why do you guys always want me to be an assassin, I don't want to! Besides, why not let Zun Zun do this?"

"What nonsense are you talking about! Zun Zun-sama is ten thousand times better than you, he can't do such a thing!"

"Okay, I will definitely not agree!"

Whether it was Zun Zun or Claire, they always wanted to treat Kazuma Satou as a pawn, and coupled with such humiliating comparisons, made him even more unhappy.

But in the end, the two still reached an agreement.

Kazuma Satou could exercise the power of the great noble Senfornia family to a certain extent, and in exchange, Kazuma Satou had to do his best to destroy this marriage.

So, the reconciled two firmly grasped each other's hands and laughed at each other for a while.

Zun Zun shook his head helplessly.

Why bother so much, as long as Kazuma Satou gets lost in the neighboring country, and then force them to teach people, in that case..."

"That...Zun Zun, Zun Zun!?"

"What's wrong...Alice!?"

Hearing the somewhat lonely voice, Zun Zun came back to his senses and saw the girl who had appeared behind him at some point, somewhat twisted and shy.

"Long time no see, I've been waiting for you for a long time."
