The legend of the Crimson Demon clan started from Suqing

#178 - Barnier: But I refuse!

Get rid of who?

Get rid of the lord?

Although Kazuma and Satou were also very annoyed with the lord Alderp, and even thought about getting rid of him to relieve their hatred, they never thought about actually killing him.

Yunyun is a bit too extreme.

But Vanir seemed very interested in this.

"Just consider it as a benefit of your previous proposal. We will reluctantly listen to your request."

Having had a successful case before, which brought him a lot of benefits, Vanir seemed very easy to talk to.

Yunyun's lips curled up slightly.

"My only request is for the evil lord who is causing resentment to disappear."

"Hmm... what's the reason?"

"That guy made our companions suffer so much before. If we don't return the favor, wouldn't that make us seem impolite? The Crimson Demons always retaliate!"

A dangerous light flashed in her red eyes.

Before, she was restrained because of the presence of the Duke of Hell, the demon Maxwell who distorted reality. Now that she has Vanir, who is also a Duke of Hell and has clairvoyance, what is there to fear?

"Yunyun... !"

Kazuma Satou covered his mouth in emotion.

If you were to say who was the most unlucky in this commotion, he would dare to say that no one would dare to say he was second. Yunyun must be doing this for him—

"To dare covet Yuiyui and Megumin, and to make Darkness go on a blind date with someone she doesn't like, how can I, as a companion, tolerate it!? It's not like that wimp next to me."

I knew it!

His emotion came to an abrupt end.

"I see, I see..."

Vanir was wearing a mask, so it was impossible to see what expression he had, but from the raised corners of his mouth that weren't covered by the mask, it could be seen that he was in a good mood.

"Then what price can you pay?"

It's common sense that you have to pay a corresponding price no matter who you ask for help, and demons are even more so.

Yunyun slowly opened her mouth.

"Information about where the demon Maxwell, who distorts reality, is currently."

"Oh?"

"Vanir, you and him are good friends, right? You should want to know his information..."

"No need. We don't want to know Maxwell's information. Rather, we already know the news of our dear friend... at the evil lord Alderp's place, right?"

"Ugh!"

"Hahahahaha—"

Vanir laughed triumphantly.

"Yes, delicious, delicious! This feeling of unwillingness is really delicious! You seem to think that you can use this news to drive us, but unfortunately, we are not worried about Maxwell's safety. Of course, our friend doesn't need our worry either."

Kazuma Satou was a little worried.

It seemed that Yunyun had taken things for granted.

Even if Maxwell, who distorts reality, often loses his memory and is tricked, he is still a Duke of Hell who can fight against goddesses. How could mere humans harm him?

But we often say that there is more than one path.

Money can make goddesses perform talents, money can make goddesses send letters, and money can naturally make Dukes of Hell work for him.

"10 million. You don't have to get rid of the evil lord, just bring Maxwell back to hell."

"... Hmm."

Vanir groaned.

As a demon who wants to build an underground city and tease adventurers to taste their negative emotions, he really needs money. And 10 million Eris can advance his plan by a good amount.

He hesitated for a moment and opened his mouth.

"You must know that Maxwell is our dear friend, and we are both Dukes of Hell!"

... Do I have to add money!?

Are you also a money grubber?

Forget it, money is secondary, and money is not important to Yunyun.

"20 million."

Yunyun said this lightly.

Even Wiz, who is gentle and indifferent to the world, was a little tempted by so much money, but Vanir still seemed unmoved.

Yunyun continued to raise the price.

30 million

40 million

...

It wasn't until 100 million that Vanir's expression finally loosened.

"Just... just as long as we bring our dear friend Maxwell, who distorts reality, back to hell, leaving the evil lord isolated and helpless... you, you really will... give us 100 million Eris as a reward?"

"Of course, I keep my word. This is a deal with him as a bargaining chip..."

"But we refuse!"

"What!?"

"One of the things we, Vanir, like to do most is to say 'NO' to guys who think they're right!"

Vanir looked like he had succeeded in a trick.

"... Hmm, hmm, this is something you often do in the Crimson Demon clan, right? We peeked at your past without permission. This method, as we thought, can indeed taste more delicious negative emotions! Hahahahaha—"

He suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed.

Huh? ? ?

Reverse! Reverse!

Yunyun never thought that Vanir would use this trick. For some reason, her face and eyes turned the same red.

Warning! Warning!

"Hmm~~ Delicious, really delicious! This emotion of shame and resentment is indeed the ultimate negative emotion! We really like you more and more."

This guy is really malicious, even Kazuma Satou was a little speechless towards him.

Yunyun also rubbed her eyebrows helplessly.

"I said, since you have enjoyed the negative emotions, then get to work! The previous promise is still valid. 100 million Eris should be enough for you, a Duke of Hell, to take action..."

"Why should we work for you? Why must we agree to your request? And even take it so for granted?"

"Ugh!"

Yunyun was speechless for a moment.

Kazuma Satou's face changed, and he couldn't help but shout: "Hey, what you mean isn't just saying... !"

"That's right! Of course it's better to keep that evil lord! Compared to 100 million Eris, we want to taste your (Yunyun's) ultimate negative emotions even more! That's right, that's it! We always wanted to see you with this expression, this unwilling expression!"

Seeing Vanir laughing wildly, Kazuma Satou subconsciously took a step back.

"De- devil... !"

"What stupid things are you saying? We ourselves are demons, and even the pinnacle of demons—the Duke of Hell!"

Vanir once again declared his identity.

Kazuma Satou was also silent.

The other party is a good friend of Wiz, and he thought he was also on the side of humans, or just a neutral character.

The latest novel is at 69 Bookstore!

But obviously he was overthinking it.

The person in front of him is indeed a demon!

"But there is a saying that nothing in this world is absolute. Although the time is short, we are still a store clerk, and naturally have the obligation to strive for turnover for the store. Forget it... just consider it as a benefit for you helping us earn a lot of money. As long as you can afford the price, then we will help you with this favor."

"In the end, it's still a matter of money. You should have said so earlier."

Kazuma Satou breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Vanir's prestige has dropped a lot, it's good that the other party can agree to help.

"So, how much money do you want?"

"400 million Eris."

"What, only a mere 400 million Eris... 400 million! ! ! ?"

Kazuma Satou screamed.

400 million is an unimaginable fortune, at least the poor Kazuma Satou would not dare to dream of it.

If he had so much money, the first thing he would think of would definitely not be to go out and spend money lavishly, but to live leisurely at home...

No, he would still go to restaurants to eat and drink, but not such expensive shops.

"Why are you surprised?"

Vanir spread his hands and said with the same confusion: "Maxwell, who distorts reality, our dear friend, is also the Duke of Hell like us, which means that his identity, status, and strength are equal to us. Then what is the bounty for us as executives of the Demon King's army... ?"

"... 400 million."

Kazuma Satou was silent again.

Bringing the other party back to hell so that they no longer appear in this world is no less than killing the other party. Even if this matter is very simple for Vanir, the problem is not in the process but in the result.

【In addition, the main reason why Vanir only received 28 million Eris (70% of 40 million) for this performance is that he generously used his bounty to help Kazuma Satou repay his debts.

Between not getting it and not getting too much, Vanir smartly chose the latter. 】

Yunyun scratched her head in distress.

"Even if you say so..."

"It's almost the same as the bounty for the Demon King's army executives. Do you still want us to kill another Demon King's army executive? Where can we find one?"

Kazuma Satou continued.

Demon King's army executive... Demon King's army executive... Demon King's army executive, huh...

Wait a minute.

Isn't there still a Demon King's army executive here?

Of course, the person he was talking about was not Wiz. After all, even though the weak-willed Lich girl is one of the executives responsible for maintaining the Demon King's army's barrier, she has not committed any crimes, and there is no bounty for her in the kingdom.

He was talking about another one.

"Kazuma, you know, sometimes this is a very difficult decision."

"I understand, Yunyun, this is a necessary sacrifice."

The two of them approached the fish tank.

To be precise, it was in front of the headless knight Beldia in the fish tank. Both of their eyes flashed with a light called danger.

"Wa- wait a minute... You, you guys, don't you want to defeat me, and then... !"

"Sorry, Mr. Headless Knight, I will always remember you... in my heart."

"Wa- wait, wait, wait... wait a minute! Kid, didn't you want me to be your subordinate? Are you just going to abandon me like this?"

"But Mr. Headless Knight has always refused to budge, and I can't help it."

The headless knight clearly panicked.

He was singing in the fish tank, and suddenly he was targeted. He was also very helpless at this time.

"Wiz, say something..."

"That's great, Mr. Headless Knight. You can finally help before you die. I'm so happy."

"Isn't what you're happy about a little strange! ?"

Wiz's smile made the headless knight's heart tighten... although his body had long been blown to ashes, that didn't prevent him from softening in order to survive.

"I- I know! I agree to become your subordinate, kid, so... !"

"Hahahahaha—! Beldia, the Demon King's army executive who always calls himself a knight, would actually submit like this one day. This is so fresh!"

"No- nonsense! I'm no longer a knight, but a headless knight! Mind your own business about the headless knight!"

The headless knight explained in a panic.

Underneath the heavy black armor was a slightly red face.

"But Mr. Headless Knight is still a Demon King's army executive, and a subordinate of the Demon King..."

"I'm going to quit the Demon King's army now! ! !"

The headless knight roared.
