The legend of the Crimson Demon clan started from Suqing.

Chapter 206 From Zero
The dragon-friendly kingdom of Lugnica.

The kingdom was given this name because it signed an alliance with the dragon Polkenica 400 years ago and is still under its protection.

A dragon priestess is set up to communicate between the royal family and the dragon god, and future policies are guided by the dragon calendar stone, with wise men assisting in decision-making.

But now, all known members of the royal family have died of illness, and the Council of Sages has begun to temporarily assume government responsibilities. According to the guidance of the Dragon Calendar Stone, a new Dragon Priestess and King will be selected from five candidates to sign a new covenant with the Dragon God.

And now is the time node.

The fifth candidate has not yet appeared and the king selection ceremony has not yet begun.

"Guest? That...guest?"

“…I’m sorry, uncle.”

The one who called him was the owner of the fruit stall with green hair and three scars on his face, who was known as the save point.

It was just a casual glance, but when Zun Zun saw him, he thought of some uncertain possibilities, and came to ask, and sure enough...

“It’s Re:Zero.”

"……guest?"

"It's okay. Rather than that, thank you for helping me learn about this kingdom. This is your reward."

Putting aside his anxiety, Zun Zun flicked a gold coin over.

The uncle took the gold coins in a panic and said, "Sir, sir, you gave too much. You just gave money, and everyone knows it. I didn't..."

"It's okay, just take it."

What was given to him was the currency of "Suqing", which should not be circulated in this world, but the advantage is that it is made of gold, so it has just depreciated to a certain extent.

Unable to refuse the kindness, I took the bag of apples given by my boss and said goodbye to him.

Although he has a fierce face, he is actually a good person unexpectedly?
Forget it, it's not important.

Zun Zun knew clearly at this moment that this world was not something he could control, and the best way was to go back without even thinking about it, otherwise he would really die without knowing how he died.

But how to go back?
Suddenly I was in trouble.

"...Look, big brother, there's a fat sheep here."

"Really? Hey, if you don't want to suffer, just take out the money quickly."

“Take it out quickly!”

The gangster-like remarks made Zun Zun frown in displeasure.

Only then did he realize that he was so immersed in his thoughts that he didn't know when he had walked alone into the depths of a dark and secluded alley, leaving them with an opportunity to commit the crime.

I didn't expect that I would be targeted.

Not wanting to get entangled with them any more, Zun Zun rolled his eyes in annoyance and snorted coldly.

"roll."

"How dare you... eh!?"

The leading gangster took a step forward angrily, but before he could say anything, he saw a pair of scarlet eyes on the face covered by shadows. He was a little scared and stepped back with a grunt.

"Old, boss..."

"This guy is a bit bad."

"I know! Don't be too proud, I just suddenly remembered something else. I'll let you go today! A-Dun, A-Han, let's go."

"Wait for us, Zhen!"

The gangsters made some standard threats, but they were weak inside. After they finished speaking, the three of them ran away without looking back, and the shorter one even fell down.

Ok?
Jane Dunhan?
Only then did Zun Zun realize that they were the three gangsters from the royal capital. He didn't expect that they were scared away by him.

Never mind. It doesn't matter.

He put the bag of apples in his hand on the steps, then took a deep breath, opened his arms and shouted in an extremely serious tone.

"——Open Sesame!"

After a while, there was no response.

Still unwilling to give up, he opened his right hand and shouted into the void: "Explode, reality! Shatter, spirit! Banish this world!"

… “This still has no effect, damn it!”

Barley
Zun Zun fell to his knees, hitting the stone slab with his right hand.

He has not yet reached the level where he can break through the void and cannot find his own way home. Doesn't this mean that he is helpless?

at this time--

"Um...are you okay? Are you feeling unwell? Do you need any help?"

I heard the girl's gentle, concerned voice.

Because she was kneeling on the ground, her appearance could not be seen, but her white boots were visible.

Zun Zun said sullenly, “Don’t bother me.”

"Oh, Leah, you just love to worry. You always waste time at times like this."

Her voice was soft and a little playful.

"But……"

"Liya, have you forgotten that you still have things to do?"

"Ah, not good!"

The girl seemed to have suddenly thought of something, she became a little anxious, but after rushing out, she stopped and said to Zun Zun who was kneeling on the ground: "Although I don't know what's wrong with you, it's better to go see a doctor as soon as possible if you are not feeling well."

"Liya, it's better not to talk to strangers when you go out."

"But that person seems very sad."

"Maybe it was just an act to confuse you."

"Really!?"

"really."

……

The girl's figure had disappeared, leaving only a flash of long silver hair at the corner of the alley.

A moment after the girl left, a man jumped down from the roof.

The breeze caught Zun Zun's attention.

By the way, am I a little too attractive? Why do so many people come over to chat with me?

This is a petite girl with golden hair tied behind her head. She has the same red eyes as Zun Zun, which makes people feel good about her. The only difference is that the clothes she wears are tattered, as if she came from the slums.

"I said are you okay?"

"It's okay, leave me alone."

Zun Zun doesn't want to talk to anyone now.

Honestly, it was very polite of him to respond under the circumstances.

The little blonde girl nodded and didn't want to argue. She said, "I see. I worried for nothing. I don't know what happened, but as the saying goes, there is nothing that cannot be overcome. You have to stay strong and live on."

Zun Zun closed his eyes and did not respond.

Then he heard a breeze and turned around subconsciously. He saw her stepping on the garbage pile in the alley, grabbing the wall as light as a swallow, and disappearing above the building in the blink of an eye.

Just as quickly as she came.

Just when Zun Zun was wondering what this guy was doing here, he suddenly found that the bag full of apples next to him had disappeared.

Do you think girls' care is free?
No, there is a price!
"That rascal……"

Zun Zun clenched his fists in dissatisfaction.

How poor can one be to steal a bag of apples? But thinking back to the red-eyed blonde girl, her appearance and clothes, and her superb ability to steal... her identity is obvious.

“Feit…”

Huh?
Zun Zun suddenly had an idea. He seemed to have thought of something and quickly ran out of the alley and returned to the save point of the fruit stall. He loudly asked the puzzled boss:

“The ghetto…where are the ghettoes!?”
