The legend of the Crimson Demon clan started from Suqing.

Chapter 160 I'm here to end the team
After leaving the underground laboratory, Zun Zun originally wanted to go to the palace to report his safety to Alice, but considering that he might be regarded as a rebel if he went there now, he gave up.

It doesn't matter, we will meet again one day.

We’ll make it big news then.

Afterwards, Zun Zun returned to Axel through the teleportation array.

If you want to go to the Crimson Devil's Village, you need to pass through the water city of Alcanretia Adam transit station. However, although Axel is remote, it is a novice village after all, so the round-trip transportation is also very convenient.

The closer he got to returning home, the more excited Zun Zun became. He wondered how Sato Kazuma and the others were doing during this period, and whether Huihui and Youyou had returned from the Crimson Devil's Village.

He pushed open the door of the mansion with excitement.

"Kids, I'm back!"

...Huh?
The surprising welcome that was expected did not happen. Instead, there was no one in the entire mansion. Not only that, every corner of the mansion, including the furniture, was sealed.

What happened? My house was robbed when I went out! ?

Zun Zun was confused and his first reaction was to go to the Adventurer's Guild, where he should know what was going on.

Run to the guild.

"Hey, long time no see, Zun Zun, where have you been during this time?"

Lynn was the first to greet him.

When Duster saw him, his face turned green immediately. He hunched his shoulders and tried to sneak away, but Zun Zun, with a kind smile, held his shoulders and fixed him in his seat.

Zun Zun ordered two glasses of juice and a glass of bubble wine with a waitress who passed by.

"My treat."

"Thank you!"

Lynn took the juice, and Dust saw that there was free bubble wine to drink, so he no longer thought about running away.

Zun Zun asked at this time.

"Lynn, Dust. What happened recently? Why do I see so many seals on my house when I return?"

"By the way, Zun Zun, you don't know."

"In fact, during the time you were away, a big thing happened! The Mobile Scourge Fortress Destroyer came to this town."

Lynn and Dust looked serious.

Even though I didn't see it with my own eyes, the general course of events was pretty much what Zun Zun imagined.

Sato Kazuma and Aqua, together with Megumin and Yunyun who happened to return, and Darkness who was already in the town, successfully intercepted the Mobile Fortress Destroyer with the cooperation of other adventurers in the guild.

In the end, because of the random transmission of the Corona Stone, Lord Eldap's house was bombed.

Fortunately, there were no casualties.

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

"What a disaster."

“Hahaha, this is more like Kazuma!”

"Shut up, Dust!"

“It hurts so much!”

Lynn grabbed Dust's ears.

Even if Duster and Sato Kazuma had a good relationship, it was still very rude to make sarcastic remarks in front of his companions.

Zun Zun didn't respond at all.

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

If it is your turn, you can definitely do it.

"Your Excellency? Your Excellency!"

"Are you back, Zun Zun?"

"We rushed here as soon as we heard that you were back!"

At this time, shouts were heard from the door of the guild.

When I turned around, I saw Aqua, Darkness, Megumin, and Yunyun. The four of them had obvious panic on their faces.

Youyou panicked and said, “No, it’s bad! Mr. Kazuma… Mr. Kazuma…!”

"I know you are in a hurry, but don't be in a hurry yet!"

Zun Zun comforted her.

"I already know the details."

"Yeah."

As the oldest person (except Aqua), Darkness was quite mature and calm at this time. She said, "Although this matter is a headache, we can always solve it as long as we think of a way. By the way, what do you think, Zunzun?"

"…I decided to quit the team."

"Eh?" X4
Zun Zun's speech left the four of them stunned.

“Wait, wait a minute… Zun Zun!” Aqua looked at him in disbelief. “Are you really going to abandon Kazuma like this? No, that’s impossible… This must be a joke, right?”

She shook Zun Zun's shoulders.

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

"wait wait wait……"

“Sometimes it’s hard to make a decision. After many days and nights of thinking, I decided to bring my talent to the Heart Thieves. I can’t wait to team up with them for adventure. As for Kazuma… I wish him all the best during his trial.”

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

Aqua collapsed and yelled.

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

"Aren't we a team?"

"Three mages in one team, are you worthy of Kazuma?"

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

Sato Kazuma was convicted of subverting the country and his trial would be in two days. Given the nature of that evil lord, he would definitely be sentenced to death.

That's why some people were so panicked.

Darkness couldn't accept it either. She said in a deep voice, "Why do you want to leave the team, Zun Zun? We have been happily forming a team together for so long. Zun Zun also thinks so, right?"

"I... never felt happy being in a team." He shook his head.

The purpose of forming a team is to smooth out everyone's shortcomings and magnify everyone's strengths, so that the team can run more smoothly and flexibly.

But this team.

It smooths out everyone's strengths, magnifies everyone's weaknesses, and always puts people in dangerous situations.

There is no harm without comparison.

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

To be honest, Zun Zun already regrets it.

If he hadn't been caught by his sister when he was a chuunibana, 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 or come to Axel; if he hadn't come to Axel, he wouldn't have met these three weirdos, Sato Kazuma, Aqua, and Darkness...

“No need for that. I don’t need either Aqua or Darkness anymore.”

What Zun Zun said was quite heartless.

“Your Excellency…”

Youyou looked at him worriedly. Huihui didn't say anything, but she had the same expression.

Aqua is completely down.

The stupid goddess, whose head is already full of water, now has no idea what to say.

Darkness slowly said, "Even if you say you don't need me, I will still continue."

"Obviously, the starting point is just to enjoy the fetish."

"Yeah, isn't this the start of our team?"

boom--

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

"Then... let me end it."

Those red eyes held an extremely serious look.

no problem.

Youyou has no opinion of her own and will definitely obey if threatened by her friends; as long as Huihui is told about the Heart Thieves Group, the little loli with the second-year syndrome who has been exposed to her habit will definitely join without hesitation.

It’s better not to stay with this weird team!

“Meihui, Yunyun, we…”

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

"what?"

Huihui's words were unexpected to Zunzun.

“I can’t leave.” Huihui 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 said it had nothing to do with me, but… I can’t just walk away after wreaking havoc, because I have companions in prison waiting for me to rescue them.”

Are you excited now?
Zun Zun almost couldn't hold it in.

This guy almost blew up the forbidden area into ruins in the Crimson Devil's Village, but I never heard her say she would be responsible; when he caused damage and blew up the castle around Axel, I didn't see her pay any compensation.

Why did you change your temper again this time?
Although she destroys the environment, cheats people for lunch, has a middle school mentality, and gets into fights over trivial matters, Huihui is still a good girl?

"Me, me too!"

As if she had made up her mind, Youyou closed her eyes and shouted, "This incident has a lot to do with me. If I hadn't indulged Huihui, she wouldn't have been involved! So... I am also responsible!"

"Youyou, you don't have to be like this!"

“No, don’t say that! As the next leader of the Crimson Demon Clan, how can I just run away like this!? And, and… I can’t just watch my friends suffer (very quietly).”

"Youyou! You are really my good friend!"

“Is that so? Huihui, have you finally admitted that I’m your friend?”

Youyou was smiling happily.

Looking at the two of them with such cute looks, Zun Zun just felt like an outsider.

“So… so… please…!”

"please!"

Youyou and Huihui looked at him with sparkling eyes.

Zun Zun's heart skipped a beat.

so cute!
With a little cutie like this, why worry about not being in debt?
Sighed deeply.

"Youyou said so. I can't help it. It's because Youyou and I have that kind of relationship."

"…Wait a minute, what does that relationship mean?"

"Well, in that case, I won't leave the team for the time being."

"So! What is your relationship?!"

Huihui screamed.

Seeing that Zun Zun didn't seem to explain, she looked at Youyou and said something.

"Youyou, we are no longer friends. We will no longer be friends from now on."

“How could it be——!?”

Youyou was crying.

“That’s great.” Darkness said with a relieved smile: “Zunzun is no longer leaving the team, right? Then let’s discuss how to rescue Kazuma. Zunzun, do you have any ideas?”

“Wait, just because I said I wouldn’t leave the team doesn’t mean I want to save Kazuma. But… yes, we are comrades after all.”

Zun Zun sat on a stool, took off his shoes, revealing his white feet, and stretched them in front of her.

"——Lick it."

"Eh?"

"What's wrong? You should always have the attitude to ask for help, right? Come on, lick it."

"... huh?"

Darkness was stunned.
