The legend of the Crimson Demon clan started from Suqing.

Chapter 173 Being misunderstood is the fate of those who express themselves.

Being misunderstood is the fate of those who express themselves.

This statement is absolutely correct.

Sato Kazuma had indeed sneaked into the Kiel Dungeon before, and even met the dungeon's owner Kiel, and in the end was asked by the other party to purify him and ascend to heaven.

But Sato Kazuma dared to guarantee that he had never done anything messy or created a large number of monsters.

"If every time something goes wrong, it's all blamed on us, who can stand it?"

"That being said, I heard that you were the last group of people to enter that dungeon. According to the usual practice, the possibility that you were not the ones who made it through was very small..."

"What kind of perverted logic is this!"

Seeing that Sena was still suspicious, Sato Kazuma suddenly felt humiliated. When he confirmed again and again that it was not the people from the same team who caused the trouble, he straightened his bent back.

Sena saw this.

He looked surprised, but he still believed it.

She wanted to entrust everyone to investigate. After all, those who had been to that underground city were the best candidates.

Sato Kazuma wanted to refuse at first.

But after two days of experiencing that money was hard to earn and shit was hard to eat, and after Sena said she would pay him a generous salary, he readily agreed.

"Okay, anyway..."

“Kazuma, I won’t participate this time.”

"Respected?"

Several people were slightly stunned.

Zun Zun raised the cage in his hand and said, "I will stay here to make the advanced magic item HeatRing. If I can finish it sooner, Kazuma can repay his debt and won't be held hostage by that evil lord."

“Zun Zun, you are so nice…!”

Sato Kazuma was so moved that he almost cried.

Are there any other companions as considerate as this?

After forming a team, she took care of him, helped him debate when he was arrested, and even helped Darkness with her blind date...

eh?

Zun Zun is a good partner and has contributed a lot...right?

"Hey, wait a minute."

He grabbed Zun Zun's arm as he tried to leave quickly.

"Is there anything else?"

"I suddenly feel something is wrong. Zun Zun, you are not like this. You clearly wanted to kick us out of the team after we formed it, and you were reluctant to help with the debate. You even refused to agree to the blind date no matter how much we begged, and you only did it under threat. But now you are so active... Are you hiding something?"

“You’re so annoying, Kazuma. I really want to help you because we’re a team, a whole. Wouldn’t it be very inhumane if I didn’t help you?”

"The person who was just disdaining me now said he was doing it for me in the blink of an eye. Do you think I will believe it? Do you think I am a fool? Besides, how can an unpopular man like me be cared for?"

"...Tsk."

"You're shocked, are you shocked?!"

When Sato Kazuma saw Zun Zun's awkward smile and evasive eyes, he finally confirmed that Zun Zun did it on purpose, and Zun Zun did not expect Sato Kazuma to be so perceptive.

I really hope he can use his cleverness in the right way!

Sato Kazuma was also a little uneasy and said, "I say, Zun Zun, you didn't predict anything bad, did you?"

"……No."

"Then why don't you dare look at me?...Why do you have to turn your head away! Don't think you can stay out of this alone, you have to come along too!"

"Let go, let go now!"

Zun Zun tried to tear off his sleeve and shouted, "I'm doing this for your own good! Kazuma, do you know how much the high-level magic items can be sold for? Selling these can help you pay off most of your debt! I advise you not to be ungrateful!"

"Who would understand what you're saying? Zun Zun, you're the strongest person in the team. I'd be very uneasy if I didn't bring you with me! Didn't you say it's for my own good? Then come along!"

Sato Kazuma decided to take Zunzun with him.

However, although he had the will, he was powerless. Even though Zun Zun's profession was a weak great mage, it depended on who he was compared with. At least Sato Kazuma, who was an ordinary adventurer, could not suppress him at all.

He quickly shouted to the tough and strong female knights in the team.

“Darkness, you should come and help as soon as possible! Zun Zun actually intends to ignore us, just like when we were on a blind date, he left you to die without helping you. Aren’t you angry and want to do something?!”

"oh oh!"

Darkness didn’t know why the two of them suddenly started fighting, but under Sato Kazuma’s command, her body moved faster than her head.

"Yeah! Zun Zun, you always want to sneak away and watch us make a fool of ourselves. I don't know why, but I also want to see you being bullied. That scene must be great!"

He held Zun Zun in his arms with exaggerated strength.

Being hugged like this by a plump older sister should be a very enjoyable experience, but Zun Zun only felt the hard touch of armor.

“It hurts so much, it hurts so much!!!”

I couldn't help but howl out loud.

He was a person with cheats, but his strength was not as great as Darkness, so he couldn't break free. He thought quickly and threatened her immediately.

“Let me go, Darkness! If you don’t let me go, I’ll electrocute you!”

“Electricize me!? Being electrocuted… Being electrocuted?… I’ve never felt that kind of novelty before! Come on, electrocute me as hard as you can!”

She came up breathlessly.

The pretty face that was approaching blushed, and the arms that kept exerting force seemed to want to rub Zun Zun into her body. Being so close to her should have made her feel happy, but Zun Zun, who was pressed by the cold armor, was only filled with endless horror.

"Obviously it was me first..."

“Zun Zun is about to die, let go, Miss Darkness…!?”

Huihui and Youyou also joined the battle, and the five of them were in chaos.

“That… what is this…?”

"Don't worry, we're just showing the love between the team!"

Aqua's smile was bright, but it looked quite stupid to outsiders.

Sena twitched the corner of her mouth.

Is this team really okay?
Under Sato Kazuma's shouting "We are a team, a whole" and the coercion of everyone, even a tough guy like Zun Zun had to give in, temporarily leaving the Salamander in the guild and heading to Kiel's dungeon with a few others.

Sena did not come along.

After seeing the scene just now, the Kingdom Prosecutor, who felt that those people were unreliable, recruited powerful adventurers from the guild in the name of the kingdom, hoping to increase the number of manpower.

Zun Zun and the others came here first.

Walking on the snowy road.

The group headed to the underground city.

"I'm sorry for forcing you to come here, but you should also tell us what's going to happen next. Aren't we a team? We should at least share the same information."

"--snort!"

Sato Kazuma apologized humbly, but was met with an unhappy snort from Zunzun, who walked at the back and turned his head away without looking at him.

How long are you going to keep quarreling?
Although I was wrong to bring him here by force, but putting aside the facts, isn't it true that Zun Zun who wanted to keep himself out of trouble was not wrong at all! ?

Of course, this also indirectly reminded Sato Kazuma, and he asked a soul-searching question to Aqua beside him.

"You really didn't do anything wrong?"

“Of course not. Really, Kazuma, you’re too suspicious of me.”

Hearing her say this with a frown on her brows, Sato Kazuma breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's true. You wouldn't get into so much trouble all day long! Sorry, it's my fault. It's all the fault of the previous class referee. I've been suspicious recently. That's right! We are a team, a whole. We shouldn't doubt our companions casually, don't you think so, someone over there?"

He looked at Zun Zun meaningfully, but what he got in return was an even louder snort.

Aqua said angrily, "Really? You should at least believe me. It's because of me that I left a magic circle in that dungeon, so evil things can't get in."

"…Hey, what did you just say?"

"So, I spent a lot of effort and made it very carefully to purify the lich. The magic circle is still there and exerts its power, preventing monsters from approaching..."

“You idiot, aaaaaaa——!”

Before Aqua could finish her sentence.

Sato Kazuma held his head and screamed.

Then, with a feeling of grievance, he began to loudly scold Aqua, saying things like I shouldn't have trusted you, that this was just your nature, I really misjudged you, give me back my trust... and so on.

This guy should not have been prejudiced just now, but now he is acting like this again.

Haha, scumbag.

"Why are you always like this? Once you've done something good, you have to create something bad to make up for it. Do you have to make up for your bad deeds before you can stop?"

"Wait a minute, this has absolutely nothing to do with me! I really just set up the purification magic!"

Being misunderstood is the fate of those who express themselves.

Aqua is now the same as Satou Kazuma.

But the problem is not whether she did it or not, but the magic circle she set up deep in the dungeon. If Sena saw it, her crotch would be covered in mud, which would be shit.

So they had to find a way to destroy the evidence.

Otherwise, Sena, who likes to take things out of context, will definitely accuse him of subversion of the country.

Sato Kazuma left the team midway and went back to bring back cleaning tools that could clear the magic circle, but if possible, he still wanted to solve the problem without having to go inside.

We didn't encounter any monsters along the way.

The group successfully reached the dungeon, and then watched from a distance as monsters continued to emerge from the entrance.

It is a clay doll wearing a mask.

The size of this figure is about the same as a salamander, and it's knee-high, so it walks on two legs, which looks pretty cute.

"What is that? It looks very strange. I have neither seen nor heard of anything like it."

"It should be said that at first glance, it seems that it has no fighting power."

Huihui and Youyou said this.

Darkness lost interest.

On the contrary, Aqua frowned and said, "How should I put it? I have a physical feeling that I cannot accept that doll. When I look at that thing, an unknown anger will come out of my stomach."

Zun Zun sniffed the air.

indeed.

It smells like the devil.
