The legend of the Crimson Demon clan started from Suqing.

Chapter 117: Let’s go to the royal capital!
When Zun Zun was resurrected, the goddess Eris said that someone would come to help him collect the artifacts. He also asked the goddess who the helper was, but she said it was a secret and she would give him a surprise when the time comes.

In fact, even if you don’t say it, Zun Zun knows it.

That person must be the thief Chris, the incarnation of the goddess. Only she would do her best to collect the artifacts scattered around the world to clean up the mess left by Aqua.

I just didn't expect this day to come so soon.

Looking at Chris, who was about to cry with tears in her eyes, Zun Zun scratched his head helplessly and said, "Okay, okay, I get it, I will help."

"That's great!"

Chris immediately stopped crying and started laughing.

Seeing her sticking out her tongue at him with a devilish smile, Zun Zun suddenly realized - this girl was actually acting, trying to deceive him by pretending to cry!
"So, if you come to me, it means that the artifact is in Axel, right? Where exactly is it? If the artifact is with Lord Eldap, I would be 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 Hair Thieves Group will begin to take action?
But when he heard that they were going to the royal capital, Zun Zun's first reaction was resistance, and he subconsciously made an expression of disgust on his face.

He is a typical person who goes with the flow.

Winter should be like winter. You should eat hot pot at home, sing by the fire, and enjoy life with girls on both sides. Why go out and suffer in the corner of someone else's house?

Although Zun Zun always says that the life of a winner in life is dull and boring, it doesn't mean that one has to endure hardship without suffering or enjoy happiness without blessings.

"Chris, I have to state that my profession is a great magician, not a thief. I know nothing about stealing, so I still refuse..."

"No no no!"

"I know, I know!"

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

It's not impossible to go to the royal capital. Just think of it as a year-end tour with the company. We can go together to relax and say GG in laughter.

Zun Zun stared at his companions who were whispering on the sofa in the living room and shouted, "Everyone, let's go to the king next..."

“Wait, wait…!”

Zun Zun looked at Chris with a puzzled look as she suddenly covered her mouth, not understanding why she was stopping him from speaking.

"You don't want Aqua-senpai and the others to go to the capital with you, do you?"

Zun Zun didn't say anything, but the meaning expressed by his eyes was very clear.

——Is it not possible?

Also, Goddess Eris, you called Aqua "senior", which exposed your true colors again.

Chris said in a low voice very quickly, "Of course not! With so many people going together, they would be too conspicuous! And you wouldn't let them join, would you? Are you serious!?"

"Uh……"

Only then did he remember that Aqua and the others were problem children with great destructive power. If he took them with him, they might turn the royal capital upside down.

"But……"

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

Chris slapped her steel plate, making a loud bang. Although I knew she wanted to let her do everything, was it really possible? You know, they were all tough guys. But Chris was so confident, so I just trusted her.

However, she soon started crying and looked at Zun Zun with pleading eyes... I believe she had really lost her mind.

Zun Zun walked over.

Sato Kazuma was the first to speak: "Zun Zun, Chris just said that you are going to the capital to do a mission?"

"That's right."

“Really? Really… Yeah, okay—”

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

"End of year trip!" x2
"wait wait wait……"

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

"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 take the risk."

Chris said this seriously, but her alarmist remarks were superfluous.

“Isn’t it great!”

"……Eh?"

"No matter how difficult the mission is, I can accept it! Even if I have to fight against the Demon King's generals and get captured and taken back to be a RPQ, I will have no complaints! No, I hope it will turn out like that! Then you can just use me as bait and abandon me!"

Darkness blushed and loudly made a disturbing statement.

Sato Kazuma also pretended to be deep and acted like an expert, and said: "The royal capital... there must be a lot of famous adventurers there, but when I go there, I will definitely become more famous and more popular! Okay, let's set off now!"

“That’s right, I want to change the state religion to Axis!”

Aqua cheered excitedly.

"Look at you guys, you're anxious again."

Zun Zun held down the shoulders of the restless Sato Kazuma and Aqua.

"So what do you guys think?"

"Needless to say..."

Sato Kazuma and Aqua said in unison: "Since there is a commission, it is definitely a public trip!" X2
These two scumbags...

That's why I don't want to take them with me.

One of the conditions for an adventurer to make a request is to reimburse the adventurer's round-trip fare.

Their idea was simple. It was just like the company's annual trip. They wanted to take advantage of Chris and go to the capital with her. They would put the mission aside and go to the capital first. But——

"I'll make it clear in advance that this is a designated mission." "I know, I know. But Zun Zun, aren't we members of a team? We rise and fall together. You said this yourself. Don't think of abandoning us here."

Sato Kazuma had a wicked smile on his face. He must have thought he had him in his grasp, right?

You are still far from it! (Longma Yin)
"It's fine if you want to go with me, but the round-trip travel expenses will not be reimbursed, and the accommodation and food expenses will not be reimbursed either. You have to pay for it yourself."

"……Eh?"

"Because it's a designated request."

The only person Chris named was Zun Zun, so she would only reimburse Zun Zun's travel expenses.

“Kazuma, you don’t want Chris to reimburse the travel expenses for so many people, do you?”

"Well..."

"Wuwuwu~~~ I'm just an ordinary thief. The teleportation fee for one person is 30 Eris. I can't afford that much!"

Chris looked at him with tears in her eyes.

I have to say that the goddess is really talented.

Zun Zun took the opportunity to say, “Not only that, the round-trip transportation fee is 60 Eris, plus the hotel, food and drinks, and if you buy some souvenirs or something…”

Sato Kazuma is definitely rich, but Aqua is not. The stupid goddess who believes in enjoying life in the moment is drunk every day, and she owed the guild a lot of money some time ago. It would be strange if she had money!

Plus--

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

"Hey, is that so?"

"Uh-huh."

Sato Kazuma asked Chris for confirmation and saw her nodding her head vigorously, as if to say that this was the case.

"What? No money."

"let it go."

The two of them immediately looked uninterested.

Hard, hard, fist hard.

Although I know that this was all my fault, it would be good if they don't make trouble, but what's going on... I feel very angry seeing these two are such scumbags.

"call--"

They gave up the idea of following, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. However, unexpectedly, the person who sighed was not Chris, but Youyou!

Hui Hui was a little surprised and asked, “Youyou, what’s wrong? You don’t seem to want us to go either.”

"No, that's not it! I, I..."

Youyou seemed a little ashamed of her thoughts and said cautiously: "Actually... even if I could go to the capital with you, I can't go with you. Because... I need to go back to my hometown."

"Going back to my hometown? Ah, has it come to this time of the year?" Huihui said suddenly.

"Yes Yes……"

Youyou looked lonely.

Aqua asked curiously, "What's wrong, Youyou? Is there something going on back home?"

“It’s a trial.” Huihui answered for her.

"Trial?" X3

The three people who were unaware of the situation said in unison.

"What exactly is the trial?"

"Sorry, the secrets of the Red Demon Clan cannot be told to outsiders! All we can say is that this is a trial where your life is at stake. If you are not careful, you will be doomed. It is a devil's trial comparable to hell!"

hiss----

Sato Kazuma and Aqua gasped.

Pure alarmism.

The so-called trial was just the tribe leader's trial, and Huihui said that just to create a sense of mystery and coolness. However, since Sato Kazuma and the others took it seriously, Zun Zun had no intention of explaining.

Hui Hui looked at the dejected You You and said, "Forget it, I'll go back with you."

"Megumin?"

"That's great. I care about Mimi too. I'll go back and see her."

“Megumin, who said she wouldn’t return unless she became a famous adventurer, actually said she would return… Thank you, Megumin!”

Youyou was extremely moved.

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

"……Eh?"

"When the Headless Horseman attacked some time ago, I was unable to help, which made me feel powerless. This time I will work harder to train my body! Besides, I also want to talk to my family about your situation."

"is that a lie……"

Sato Kazuma was dumbfounded. He was still dreaming of a harem life surrounded by beautiful girls, but in the blink of an eye, only he and Aqua were left!
“Kazuma Kazuma, are you lonely? It’s okay, I’m here to keep you company!”

Aqua said happily.

If he lived in such a big mansion with another beautiful girl, Sato Kazuma would definitely be very happy, but the object was this stupid goddess who couldn't even hit the glue and had no feelings at all. He said -

"hehe."

“Ah! Kazuma, how dare you make fun of me!”
