The legend of the Crimson Demon clan started from Suqing

#117 - Let’s go, Royal Capital!

When Zun Zun was resurrected, the goddess Eris said that someone would assist him in collecting the artifacts. She was also asked who the assistant was, but she said it was a secret and would give him a surprise when the time came.

In fact, even if she didn't say it, Zun Zun knew.

That person must be Chris, the thief who is the goddess's incarnation. Only she would wholeheartedly collect the artifacts scattered around the world to clean up the mess left by Aqua.

He just didn't expect this day to come so quickly.

Looking at Chris, who had tears in her eyes and was about to cry, Zun Zun scratched his head helplessly and said, "Okay, okay, I got it, I'll help."

"Really, that's great!"

Chris immediately went from crying to laughing.

Seeing her reveal a smug, little devil-like smile and sticking her tongue out at him, Zun Zun suddenly realized—this guy was acting just now, using fake tears to trick him!

"So you came to me, which means the artifact is in Axel, right? Where exactly is it? If the artifact is with Lord Alderp, I would be very happy to help."

"No, the artifact is not in Axel, but in the royal capital."

Hearing her say this, Zun Zun was slightly stunned.

The royal capital?

Could it be that at this time, the future famous Silver-Haired Thieves' Guild is about to start its activities?

However, upon hearing that he was going to the royal capital, Zun Zun's first reaction was resistance, and he subconsciously made a disgusted expression on his face.

He is a standard follower of the natural order.

Winter should look like winter. He should eat hot pot at home, hug the stove and sing songs, and enjoy a wonderful life with beauties on both sides. What's the point of going out to suffer and squat at the corner of someone else's house?

Although Zun Zun always says that the life of a winner in life is boring, it doesn't mean that he has to endure hardship or enjoy blessings against his will.

"Chris, I have to state that my profession is Archmage, not a thief. I don't know anything about stealing, so I still refuse…"

"Uh, uh, uh!"

"I know, I know!"

Seeing that Chris was about to cry aggrievedly again, Zun Zun immediately raised his hands high and made a military salute of a certain country to surrender.

Going to the royal capital is not impossible. Just treat it as a year-end group tour with the company. Everyone goes to relax and GG in laughter.

Zun Zun shouted to his companions who were constantly staring at him and whispering on the sofa in the living room: "Everyone, we're going to the royal— — — —"

"Wait, wait…!"

Zun Zun looked at Chris with a puzzled look, not understanding why she wanted to stop him from speaking, and suddenly covered his mouth.

"You wouldn't want Aqua and the others to go to the royal capital with you, would you?"

Zun Zun didn't speak, but the meaning expressed in his eyes was obvious.

—Isn't it okay?

Also, Goddess Eris, you're calling Aqua 'Senior,' you're showing your true colors again.

Chris said in a very fast and low voice: "Of course not! There are too many people going together, the target is too big! And you wouldn't let them join too, would you? Are you serious! ?"

"Uh…"

He just remembered that Aqua and the others are troublemakers with full destructive power. If he takes them with him, they might turn the royal capital upside down.

"But…"

"Don't know what to say, right? Don't worry, leave it to me."

Chris patted her chest, making a bang, although she meant to say leave it all to her, but is it really okay? You know, they are all difficult guys. But Chris is so confident, so trust her.

However, she soon looked at Zun Zun with teary eyes and a pleading look… Trusting her was really a mistake.

Zun Zun walked over.

Kazuma Sato spoke first: "Zun Zun, Chris just said you are going to the royal capital for a mission?"

"That's right."

"Is that so, is that so…um um, good—"

Hearing Zun Zun say this, Kazuma Sato and Aqua looked at each other, and said in unison:

"Year-end trip!" x2

"Wait, wait…"

Zun Zun immediately stopped them and said, "I know you are anxious, but don't be anxious yet. This is a difficult task, and not everyone can do it."

"That's right, that's right. To be honest, even I may not be able to return safely from this mission. I really can't bear to let you go on an adventure too."

Chris said this with a serious face, but her alarmist talk became redundant.

"Isn't that great!"

"…Eh?"

"No matter how difficult the task is, I can accept it! Even if I fight with the Demon King's generals and am captured and taken back to be their RPQ, I have no complaints! No, I hope it will be like that! Then you can use me as bait and abandon me!"

Darkness loudly declared a troubling statement with a flushed face.

Kazuma Sato also pretended to be deep and acted like an expert, saying: "The royal capital…there must be many famous adventurers there, but when I go there, I will definitely become more famous and more popular! Okay, let's go now!"

"That's right, that's right, I want to change the national religion to the Axis Church!"

Aqua cheered even more.

"Look at you, so impatient again."

Zun Zun pressed on the shoulders of the restless Kazuma Sato and Aqua.

"So what do you think?"

"Does it need to be said…"

Kazuma Sato and Aqua said in unison: "Since there is a request, then it's definitely a publicly funded trip!" X2

These two scumbags…

That's why I don't want to bring them.

One of the conditions for adventurer's designated requests is to reimburse the adventurer's round-trip travel expenses.

And their idea is very simple, this is the same as the company's annual tour, based on the idea that it's a bastard not to take advantage of a cheap opportunity, they want to hitch a ride with Chris and go to the royal capital together. The mission comes second, let's go to the royal capital first. But—

"Let me state in advance that this is a designated mission."

"I know, I know. But Zun Zun, aren't we team members? We share the same glory and the same losses. You said that yourself. Don't think about leaving us here."

Kazuma Sato had a smirk on his face. He must think he has me figured out, right?

You are far from it! (Ryoma's voice)

"It's okay if you want to follow, but the round-trip travel expenses cannot be reimbursed, and the accommodation and food expenses will not be reimbursed either, only self-funded."

"…Eh?"

"Because it's a designated request."

The person Chris designated is only Zun Zun, so she will only reimburse Zun Zun's travel expenses.

"Kazuma, you wouldn't want Chris to reimburse so many people's travel expenses, would you?"

"Well…"

"Wuwuwu~~~ I'm just an ordinary thief, the teleportation fee for one person is 300,000 Eris, I can't afford that much!"

Chris looked at him with tears in her eyes.

The newest and fastest novels are on 69shu.com!

I have to say, the goddess is a powerhouse.

Zun Zun took the opportunity to say: "Not only that, the round-trip teleportation fee is 600,000 Eris, plus staying in hotels, eating and drinking, and buying souvenirs…"

Kazuma Sato must have money, but Aqua doesn't have money. The stupid goddess who believes in enjoying life in time is drunk every day, and she also owes the guild a lot of money recently. It would be strange if she had money!

Plus—

"This time I'm repaying a favor, but there is no reward at all."

"Eh, is that so?"

"Um um."

Kazuma Sato asked Chris for confirmation, and saw her nodding desperately, as if saying that's right.

"What, no money."

"Then forget it."

The two of them immediately looked uninterested.

It's hardening, it's hardening, my fists are hardening.

Although I know that this is all my own doing, it's good that they don't go and make trouble, but what's going on… I feel very annoyed seeing these two scumbags.

"Huff—"

They dispelled the idea of following, which made people breathe a sigh of relief. However, unexpectedly, the person who sighed was Yuyu!

Huihui said strangely: "Yuyu, what's wrong? You don't seem to want us to go either?"

"N-No, that's not it! I, I…"

The twisting and turning Yuyu seemed a little ashamed of her thoughts, and said carefully: "Actually… Even if I can go to the royal capital with you, I can't go with you. Because… I have to go back to my hometown."

"Go back to your hometown? Ah, is it that time of year again?" Huihui realized.

"Y-Yes…"

Yuyu had a lonely expression.

Aqua asked curiously: "What's wrong, Yuyu, is there anything going on back home?"

"It's a trial." Huihui answered for her.

"Trial?" X ３

The three uninformed people said in unison.

"What kind of trial is it specifically?"

"Sorry, the secrets of the Crimson Demon clan cannot be told to outsiders! I can only say that this is a trial that risks your life. If you are not careful, you will be doomed. It is a hellish devil trial!"

Hiss— — — —

Kazuma Sato and Aqua gasped.

Pure alarmist talk.

The so-called trial is just the clan leader's trial. Huihui said that just to create a sense of mystery and coolness. However, since Kazuma Sato and the others took it seriously, Zun Zun didn't mean to explain.

Huihui looked at the lonely Yuyu and said, "Forget it, I'll go back with you too."

"Huihui?"

"It just so happens that I'm also quite concerned about Mimi. It's good to go back and see her."

"Huihui, who said she wouldn't go back until she became a famous adventurer, actually said she would go back… Thank you, Huihui!"

Yuyu was very moved.

Darkness also said at this time: "In that case, I'll go back to my hometown first."

"…Eh?"

"The headless knight attacked some time ago, but I didn't help, which made me deeply feel my powerlessness. This time I'm going back to work harder to train my body! And, I also want to tell my family about you."

"You're lying…"

Kazuma Sato was dumbfounded. He was still dreaming of a harem life surrounded by beautiful girls, but who knew that in the blink of an eye, he and Aqua were the only ones left!

"Kazuma, Kazuma, are you lonely? It's okay, I'm here with you!"

Aqua said happily.

If he lived in such a big mansion with other beautiful girls and had a two-person world, Kazuma Sato would definitely be overjoyed, but the object is this stupid goddess who can't even stick gum and has no feeling at all, he said—

"Hehe."

"Ah! Kazuma, you actually dare to make fun of me!"
