The legend of the Crimson Demon clan started from Suqing

#160 - I'm here to finish the team.

After leaving the underground laboratory, Zun Zun originally wanted to go to the Royal Palace to report his safety to Alice, but considering that he might be regarded as a rebel if he went now, he gave up.

It doesn't matter, there will always be a day to meet again.

When that time comes, I'll make a big news.

After that, Zun Zun returned to Axel through the teleportation array.

Going to the Crimson Demon Village still requires passing through the water city of Alcanretia as a transfer station, but although Axel is remote, it is, after all, a newbie village, so transportation is very convenient.

The closer he got to home, the more excited Zun Zun became, wondering how Kazuma Sato and the others were doing during this time, and whether Megumin and Yunyun had returned from the Crimson Demon Village.

With an excited face, he pushed open the gate of the mansion.

"Children, I'm back!"

… … Huh?

The surprised welcome in his memory did not happen, rather, there was not a single person in the entire mansion. Not only that, but every corner of the mansion, including the furniture, was sealed with tape.

What's going on, did my house get robbed while I was out!?

Confused, Zun Zun's first reaction was to go to the Adventurers' Guild, where he should be able to find out what's going on.

He ran to the guild.

"Yo, long time no see, Zun Zun, where have you been all this time?"

Lynn was the first to greet him.

Dust saw him and his face immediately turned green, shrinking his shoulders and trying to sneak away, but Zun Zun, with a kind smile, grabbed his shoulder and fixed him to his seat.

Zun Zun asked the passing waitress for two glasses of juice and a glass of sparkling wine.

"It's on me."

"Thank you!"

Lynn took the juice, and Dust, seeing that there was free sparkling wine to drink, stopped thinking about running away.

Zun Zun then asked.

"Lynn, Dust. What happened recently? Why did I see so many seals on my house when I got back?"

"Oh, right, Zun Zun, you don't know."

"Actually, a big event happened during the time you were away! The mobile fortress Destroyer, a mobile natural disaster, ran into this town."

Lynn and Dust's expressions were very serious.

Even without seeing it with his own eyes, the general course of events was similar to what Zun Zun had imagined.

Kazuma Sato and Aqua, plus Megumin and Yunyun who happened to be back, and Darkness who was already in the town, with the cooperation of other adventurers in the guild, successfully intercepted the mobile fortress Destroyer.

In the end, due to the random teleportation of the Corona Stone, Lord Alderp's house was blown up.

Fortunately, there were no casualties.

But because of this, Kazuma Sato was convicted of—the crime of subverting the country, and was imprisoned.

"What a disaster."

"Hahaha, that's Kazuma's style!"

"Shut up, Dust!"

"Ouch, ouch, ouch!"

Lynn pinched Dust's ear.

Saying sarcastic remarks in front of comrades, even if Dust and Kazuma were on good terms, was quite rude.

Zun Zun, however, did not react at all.

He did not blame Kazuma Sato for blowing up the lord's mansion, but blamed him for not using his luck to directly blow up that scum lord.

If it were Zun Zun, he could definitely do it.

"Zun Zun? Zun Zun!"

"Have you come back, Zun Zun!"

"We came immediately after hearing the news of your return!"

At this moment, shouts came from the entrance of the guild.

Turning his head, he saw Aqua, Darkness, and Megumin and Yunyun, with obvious panic on their faces.

Yunyun said in a panic: "N-No, it's terrible! Kazuma-san… Kazuma-san he…!"

"I know you're in a hurry, but don't worry!"

Zun Zun comforted her.

"I already know the details."

"Is that so."

Darkness, as the oldest (except for Aqua), was quite mature and calm at this time, and said: "Although this matter is troubling, we can always solve it as long as we think of a way. Speaking of which, what do you think, Zun Zun?"

"… …I've decided to leave the party."

"Eh?" X4

Zun Zun's statement stunned the four on the spot.

"W-Wait, wait… Zun Zun!" Aqua looked at him in disbelief, "D-Don't tell me you're going to abandon Kazuma like this, i-it's impossible… This is a joke, right? It must be a joke, right, right!"

She shook Zun Zun's shoulders.

Zun Zun shook his head: "No, I'm serious. I've already decided to team up with Chris. You know, Chris is my good friend, we've fought side by side and defeated many opponents. I just met Alice, and this guy is unbelievably strong. I think teaming up as the three of us can create a good chemical reaction."

"W-Wait, wait…"

"Sometimes it's hard to make a decision. After many days and nights of thinking, I've decided to bring my talent to the Heart's Thieves Guild. I can't wait to team up with them and go on adventures. As for Kazuma… I wish him all the best during the trial."

"Then he will definitely be sentenced to death! ! !"

Aqua shouted in despair.

She thought that Zun Zun would come back to help come up with ideas, but who would have thought that he would choose to leave the party!

"Aren't we a team!"

"A team with three archmages, are you worthy of Kazuma!"

"Why should I be worthy of him! He can't even protect himself now!"

Kazuma Sato was sentenced to the crime of subverting the country, and the day of his trial was two days later. With the nature of that evil lord, he would definitely be sentenced to death.

That's why the few of them were so panicked.

Darkness also couldn't accept it, she said in a deep voice: "Why do you want to leave the party, Zun Zun? Everyone has been happily teaming up for so long, Zun Zun thinks so too, right?"

"I… I've never felt happy teaming up."

He shook his head.

Teaming up is originally to smooth out each person's shortcomings, to amplify each person's advantages, so that the team can operate more smoothly and flexibly.

But this team.

Smoothed out each person's advantages, amplified each person's shortcomings, and always fell into dangerous situations.

There is no harm without comparison.

Compared to the reliable Chris and the powerful Alice, these guys are really not worth mentioning.

Honestly, Zun Zun already regretted it.

If he hadn't been caught by his older sister when he was a chuuni, then he wouldn't have been forced to aspire to become a demon king; if he hadn't aspired to become a demon king, he wouldn't have left the village and wouldn't have come to Axel; if he hadn't come to Axel, he wouldn't have met Kazuma Sato, Aqua, and Darkness these three oddballs…

"I don't need Aqua or Darkness anymore."

Zun Zun said quite unfeelingly.

The newest novel is first published on 69shu.com!

"Zun Zun…"

Yunyun looked at him with some concern, Megumin didn't say anything, but she had the same expression.

Aqua completely crashed.

The idiot goddess whose brain was already full of water completely didn't know what to say now.

Darkness slowly opened her mouth and said: "Even if you say you don't need me, I will continue to stay."

"The starting point was just to enjoy my fetishes."

"Yes, isn't this team our beginning?"

Bang—

Zun Zun heavily dropped the cup in his hand on the table, slowly stood up and looked at her.

"Then… I will end it."

Those red eyes, with an incomparably serious look.

No problem.

Yunyun has no opinion, threatening her with friendship will definitely make her obedient; as for Megumin, as long as she is told about the Heart's Thieves Guild, the chuuni loli who is hit by her fetish will definitely join without hesitation.

It's better not to stay in this weird team!

"Megumin, Yunyun, we…"

"Then I can only wish you and Chris good luck in teaming up, Zun Zun."

"Huh?"

Megumin's words were unexpected to Zun Zun.

"I can't leave." Megumin lowered her head slightly, "This incident has a lot to do with me. If it weren't for my explosion magic, the mobile fortress Destroyer wouldn't have stopped, and the Corona Stone wouldn't have exploded. Although they all say it's none of my business, but… I can't just pack my bags and leave after causing damage, because I have comrades waiting for me to rescue in prison."

Are you getting excited now?

Zun Zun almost couldn't hold back.

This guy almost blew up the forbidden area into ruins when she was in the Crimson Demon Village, and she didn't say she would be responsible; when she was causing damage and blowing up castles around Axel, she didn't see her paying for it either.

Why did she change her temperament this time?

Although she destroys the environment, scams lunch boxes, is a chuuni, and fights at the drop of a hat, but Megumin is still a good girl?

"I, me too!"

Yunyun seemed to have made a decision, she closed her eyes and shouted: "This incident also has a lot to do with me. If I hadn't indulged Megumin, I wouldn't have let her get involved! S-So… I'm also responsible!"

"Yunyun, you don't have to do this!"

"N-No, don't say anything! As the next clan chief of the Crimson Demons, how can I just run away like this! ? A-And… I can't watch my friends suffer (in a very small voice)."

"Yunyun! You really are my good friend!"

"R-Really! Megumin, have you finally admitted that I'm your friend?"

Yunyun smiled happily.

Looking at the two of them with their full of yuri-ness, Zun Zun only felt that he was an outsider.

"S-So… Zun Zun, please…!"

"Please!"

Yunyun and Megumin looked at him with sparkling eyes.

Zun Zun's heart twitched.

With such cute girls, why worry about not being in debt?

He sighed deeply.

"Yunyun has already said so. I can't help it, who told me that Yunyun and I have that kind of relationship."

"… …Wait a minute, what do you mean by that kind of relationship?"

"Okay, in that case, then I'll temporarily not leave the party."

"So! What is your relationship! ?"

Megumin howled.

Seeing that Zun Zun didn't explain, she threw a sentence at Yunyun.

"Yunyun, we, we are no longer friends, let's break up from now on."

"How could this be————! ?"

Yunyun cried.

"Great." Darkness said with a gratified smile: "Zun Zun is no longer leaving the party, is that right. Then let's discuss how to rescue Kazuma. Zun Zun, do you have any ideas?"

"Wait, I said I'm not leaving the party doesn't mean I'm going to save Kazuma. But… yeah, after all, he's a comrade."

Zun Zun sat on the stool, took off his shoes and exposed his white feet, and stretched them out in front of her.

"——Lick it."

"Eh?"

"What's wrong? When asking for help, you should have an attitude of asking for help, right? Come on, lick it."

"… …Huh?"

Darkness looked bewildered.
