The legend of the Crimson Demon clan started from Suqing.

Chapter 118 The Blond Girl with Grapes on Her Head

After paying the teleporter 30W Eris as a teleportation fee, and under her considerate guidance, Zun Zun and Chris stood on the teleportation array.

When the dazzling light filled the entire field of vision and dissipated, the noisy sounds of hustle and bustle flooded into the ears.

"Oh! Is this the royal capital?"

Zun Zun exclaimed.

Although I have been to the densely populated water city of Alcanretia, it is still far inferior to the capital. It is crowded, noisy, and particularly prosperous, which is a world apart from Axel.

"How about it? This is your first time in the capital, right?"

"Yes."

In fact, Zun Zun had been to places more prosperous than the royal capital in his previous life, but how should I put it... The royal capital was very different from modern cities and was more prosperous than the Middle Ages.

There are also many orcs, elves and dwarves on the streets, which are rarely seen in Axel.

Not to mention the Crimson Demon Village, where there was no one but the Crimson Demons with black hair and red eyes. As for when he was in Alcanrea, his most primitive reaction was to escape from there as soon as possible, and he had no time to go sightseeing.

In short, everything in the royal capital is new and novel.

The two did not do much sightseeing, but went directly to a hotel called Harunocho.

He heard that this hotel was well received for its novel decoration style. There was no doubt that with such a name and decoration style, it must be a hotel opened by the reincarnation of Li Ben. When he came here, he found that it was indeed the case. Because the decoration style was very comfortable, it made Zun Zun feel like he was at home.

After delivering the luggage to the hotel, the two met again at the door.

"Then I'll leave for a while."

"……Wait a mininute."

Zun Zun grabbed Chris who was about to leave, causing her to look at him with strange eyes.

But she soon seemed to come to her senses and explained, "I'm not abandoning you. I'm going to check out the area first. Although I know the approximate location of the artifact, I still have to plan the specific route. And I have to prepare a lot of things for the next plan."

When she said this, she always felt as if she was being treated as a pendant.

But there was nothing that could be done about it. Zun Zun's profession was a great mage, so sneaking into the mansion and scouting the place - acts of thieves were quite difficult.

If that’s the case, then what was her purpose in calling me here?
Zun Zun nodded: "Okay, if that's the case then I'll go get ready too."

"…What are you preparing?"

"I really don't understand, Chris. As the saying goes, you should love what you do. Thieves are very particular about their attire and preparation. If they are sloppy, they will only be regarded as second-rate. A real thief will have no flaws from the inside out!"

“H-Hah…”

Chris looked at Zun Zun who was in high spirits and couldn't figure out whether she was the thief or he was the thief.

"Anyway, let's split up for now. This is your first time in the capital, right? It would be nice to take a good sightseeing trip here. We'll meet up at Harunotei later, and remember to come back at night!"

After that, she left quickly.

Zun Zun was strolling alone on the street.

Before leaving Axel, Sato Kazuma and his friends clamored to bring them some souvenirs.

Honestly speaking, although Axel is a remote town, it is a novice village so the liquidity is relatively high. Almost everything in the royal capital is available there, but the price may be a little bit higher.

But how to say it...

Maybe it’s because the air in the royal capital is sweeter, so those scumbags insisted on bringing some good things back.

In that case, let's just buy some donuts and bubbles.

Normally, a young man with such a strong blood and vitality like him should look for secret places of entertainment when he arrives in a new city, but Wang should not have any of them...

If I had known this earlier, I would have asked the succubus sister in the store if they had a branch in the capital before coming here.

Come to the commercial street.

"King's Capital Special! King's Capital Special Pizza! Steaming hot pizza, come and try it!"

"Agar slime! Grape-flavored agar slime! Buy it now for half the price! It's a great souvenir!"

"Grilled saury! Freshly harvested plump saury from the fields, come and try some!"

"Masks, all kinds of masks!"

There were very enthusiastic hawking sounds coming from here, and there were a wide variety of goods, but when he heard the word agar slime, he thought of a disgusting guy and his face turned bad.

Just as he was about to leave quickly, he suddenly stopped.

mask?

Yes, I almost forgot, next they are going to sneak into someone else's house, and they can't do it without covering their faces.

Come to the stall.

There are indeed many types of masks here, and there are also quite a few Noh masks (one of the Tachimoto masks), including Prajna, Hashihime, Chanmaru, Oodouji... and so on. Zun Zun thinks this is probably the credit of Tachimoto's reincarnation.

"Ah, guest, do you have any mask you like? I recommend this one - the red feather mask. It really suits you very well!"

The stall owner pointed to a half-cut mask with three crimson feathers glued to the eye sockets.

"This is a mask made from the feathers of the legendary phoenix... I'm just kidding, it's just a sales pitch, it's just made from ordinary bird feathers, ahahahaha——"

He joked cheerfully. This mask would probably look good on Zun Zun, but unfortunately he didn't like feminine or neutral masks.

However, there were many handsome heroes or terrifying Prajna masks on the stall, but he did not choose any of them. Instead, he picked up a mask with scowl-shaped eyebrows, wide-open eyes and a blowpipe. It was completely red and looked extremely funny.

This is a fire man mask, usually used in festivals, and probably the work of the reincarnated Tachimoto.

(For details, please refer to the swordsmith mask in "Demon Slayer")
Zun Zun put on the mask and asked the vendor: "How do you feel? Is it handsome?"

“Hmm, hmm…very good…hmm!”

I could feel that the stall owner was biting his lips tightly to hold back his laughter. It was really hard for him to say such insincere words.

But this is exactly the effect that Zun Zun wants. After all, behind every funny mask, there is a peerless beauty - this has become a theorem.

After paying 5000 eris, Zun Zun bought the mask.

It's a little painful.

But when he remembered that he was spending Royal Capital Coins, he suddenly felt relieved.

Just then, a noisy sound came from a distance. Many guards appeared on the street. The bustling street became noisy and chaotic. In front, a girl attracted Zun Zun's attention.

She was about half a head shorter than him, with long blonde hair and a white dress. Her cute face was slightly flushed, and she would look back at the guards from time to time.

Could it be that he is being chased by soldiers?
Just when Zun Zun was thinking that less trouble is better, he felt a huge push from behind him, which made him walk towards the center of the road.

"Hey, Birna?"

There was no one behind him, and he didn't have any spirit behind him, so there was only one person pushing him forward.

Emergency food cherry bomb.

Zun Zun wanted to resist, but Yingtao was much tougher than he had imagined, so he was pushed forward. The girl who kept looking back seemed to have sensed something and covered her head, moving towards him.

Soon, the two of them collided with each other like magnets, and Zun Zun held her in his arms.

All unexpected encounters are reunions after a long separation.

Zun Zun and she both saw the confusion and bewilderment in each other's eyes.

At this time, the man who looked like the head of the guards who was still chasing behind shouted loudly: "Hurry up! It's right in front of us, don't lose it! Hurry up, faster!"

When the little girl heard these words, her thin shoulders trembled noticeably, and her face showed a look of panic and anxiety. She kept looking at the guards who were chasing after her.

It looked like she was indeed being chased.

Seeing her so confused and helpless, Zun Zun somehow grabbed her slender arm and ran towards the alley, blocking the entrance with his body. I don't know if it was because the alley was too dark, but the guards who ran over did not stop, but ran out quickly.

They both breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

Soon, the little girl with dazzling blonde hair gently stroked her chest and said with a weak smile: "Thank you, you are such a good person."

Good, good guy card! ?
Zun Zun couldn't bear to hear this, as it reminded him of the past that he couldn't bear to look back on. He said in a muffled voice with some resentment:
"How do you know I'm a good person?"

"……Eh?"

"Don't you think I look ferocious when you look at me?!"

After saying that, Zun Zun deliberately opened his arms and made a scary look.

"…I'm sorry, but you can't see your face at all with the mask on."

After taking a closer look at his Fire Man mask, the little girl couldn't help laughing and said, "And... Pfft! This mask is really weird!... Sorry, sorry, I didn't mean to laugh, but it's really weird."

mask?

Oh, I forgot.

Zun Zun touched his face and found that he was still wearing the funny and comical Fire Man mask, so he took it off.

“——So beautiful!”

After seeing Zun Zun's face, the little girl couldn't help but praise him.

Zun Zun's heart skipped a beat, and before he could say anything, he saw two cherries floating in front of him.

"Borna?"

"……Eh?"

The little girl also touched her head, lifted her long golden hair to reveal the purple grapes inside, and could feel some strange emotions from it.

what's the situation?
This is like a turtle looking at a mung bean... No, it's like a cherry looking at a grape. Are you two seeing each other?

So far——

The kingdom's representative noblewoman is a blonde, little girl with a bunch of purple grapes on her hair as emergency food.
