The legend of the Crimson Demon clan started from Suqing.

Chapter 220: How rude, we are pure love
Recruitment is a two-way process. Just as one needs talent, one must also consider whether the employee can bring benefits to oneself. Zun Zun also left a test for Otto.

The next morning, Zun Zun set out on the road to Mezas Territory. After five hours of bumpy ride, they finally arrived at their destination at noon.

"Eagle...?"

"Yes, this is the family crest of Count Metzas."

Fram answered respectfully.

When we arrived at the edge of the territory, we saw several flags with an eagle-like monster painted on them, as if warning others.

By the way, Astraea's family crest is the hilt of the holy sword.

The road became flat after entering the territory. Judging from the surrounding scenery, Roswaal managed the territory very well.

On the way, they also passed by a village at the foot of the mountain, but Zun Zun had no need to build good relations with the villagers, so he had no intention of stopping and went straight to the border earl's mansion.

"It's tiring to ride in a carriage."

Zun Zun stretched after getting off the carriage and couldn't help complaining. Just as he was about to say something, he saw the old butler Green staring at the parking space on the other side of the mansion.

There was also a carriage parked there, with a lion's emblem on it, and next to the carriage stood an old butler.

"I didn't expect there would be other guests."

The strong presence made Zun Zun look over unconsciously.

The old gentleman has faded white hair, which is still very luxuriant despite his age. Hidden in deep wrinkles, the clear blue eyes have a sharp radiance, and the tough face has grown in the ideal way for an old man. His body has been trained, and his back is straight. Just standing there, it gives people a great sense of oppression.

Wilhelm van Astraea.

I didn't expect such a coincidence that I would run into them. It seems that Natsuki Subaru is still the same as usual, and the "door" is seriously injured.

Looking at the old butler beside him who was slightly agitated.

"Mr. Green, go and have a chat with the other party."

"..."

He shook his head.

As a housekeeper, you must have your own professional ethics, and you cannot act on your own even if that person is your idol.

"This is an order. And don't worry about this, Fram is with you."

"Yes, I will always follow your Excellency."

The peach-haired maid responded.

After bowing deeply, the old butler Green strode towards the other side. He was not as calm as he looked on the surface, and seemed to have a lot to say to the other party.

Zun Zun and Fram walked towards the mansion.

As a distinguished guest, Zun Zun should have waited in the carriage and been warmly received by the Roswaal Mansion, but he did not consider himself a noble, so he came to visit in a very ordinary way.

Of course, necessary notices are still made.

Fram knocked on the door, informed her of her intention to visit, and was soon invited to the guest room.

The main room was currently occupied by Karsten, the envoy of the highly anticipated first candidate for the throne, and since it was first come first served, Zun Zun had no intention of getting angry. Besides, he came here to see the person he wanted to see.

"I never thought Subaru would become a servant in the Earl's mansion. It's really unpredictable. The big intestines are bound to be small intestines."

"Well... I can only say that various things happened, hahaha——"

Natsuki Subaru scratched his head carelessly.

He looks like a servant, but he doesn't act like a subordinate at all. If the nobles who care about these things knew about this, it might be used as a handle to criticize Emilia for not being able to manage her subordinates. I really hope he can be aware of this.

"After all, Subaru doesn't have to become a servant. With your contribution in assisting Emilia, your request to become a guest will be granted."

"It will indeed be granted. But I would rather be a servant in the mansion than a guest."

I mean it sincerely.

In the third reincarnation, Natsuki Subaru chose to become a guest, but he did not save the lives of the twin maids, and even because of the change of identity, he did not even get closer to them. So in order to save them and repay their kindness, he made up his mind to become a servant in the mansion.

“It’s been a very difficult time.”

"…Because you're not good at being a servant?"

“That may be the reason as well.”

After saying that, he laughed again.

If someone who doesn’t know him well, they definitely wouldn’t understand why he suddenly burst into laughter, and would simply think that there was something wrong with this guy’s brain.

But Zun Zun was relieved.

Natsuki Subaru is still Natsuki Subaru.

He came here just to confirm whether the other party has reached the IF - anger line. If so, he will not choose to cooperate at all. If not, he will choose to cooperate. After all, the only person in Emilia's camp that Zun Zun is optimistic about is Natsuki Subaru, who is a god and leads four pits.

But this god can easily lose his temper.

The dual nature of gods and ghosts belongs to this.

After that, the two chatted a lot. Natsuki Subaru's life in the mansion was almost the same as Zun Zun had expected, but for some reason, he was very grateful for the letter Zun Zun sent. He said that the letter gave him great encouragement and made him persevere.

"letter?"

"Yes, especially the last sentence - even if the road is bumpy, full of thorns, and the end is hell, we must hold our heads high and walk forward proudly."

Zun Zun curled the corner of his mouth.

Although Natsuki Subaru spoke very passionately, he really didn't get the point. After all, this sentence was just the standard ending remark of the Crimson Demon Clan's letters, and like a greeting, it was basically meaningless. But seeing how much he enjoyed it, Zun Zun chose not to tell him the truth.

Speaking of letters.

"A letter from Felt."

"For me?" "Of course."

“Oh, I didn’t expect Felt to reply. I thought she couldn’t write, so… what is this?”

Natsuki Subaru looked at the very abstract masterpiece in his hand and asked Zun Zun with a confused look on his face.

Although his handwriting was ugly, he wrote it carefully. Firut directly sent him a meaningless drawing, which was also very sloppy.

"The content... is it a letter asking for help?"

“Why is it a rhetorical question? And why did Felt ask for help? Was she abused by Reinhard?”

"How could that be? She is now well fed and well cared for, and lives a life of being served every day."

"I guess so."

Natsuki Subaru looked at the painting.

The drawing was very sloppy and abstract, but one could still tell that it was Reinhard who was forcing her to wear a skirt and learn etiquette. Perhaps he found these things annoying and was complaining to himself.

Really, why not just write the letter honestly? I won’t make fun of her, and maybe we can even become pen pals in another world.

“Feit has become a big shot. Next time we meet, I will definitely surprise you.”

“Oh, I’m looking forward to it!”

Natsuki Subaru grinned.

It seems that the news that Firut is expected to become the last Chosen King has not been exposed yet. Should we say that Reinhard did a good job of keeping it secret, or that Emilia's camp simply does not have the talent in this area and cannot find out the news?
Probably the former.

"Then I will leave."

“…So soon? I wanted to treat you! Rem’s steamed potatoes are delicious!”

"I'm sorry, but I don't know what's so delicious about steamed potatoes. I just came here to see if you were doing well, Subaru. Now that my purpose has been achieved, I should leave now."

The Karlsten family is here, so it’s not convenient for you to discuss the alliance.

If the other party noticed and retaliated, not only would Firut be in trouble, Emilia would also be in a precarious situation.

Besides, there is no rush to form an alliance.

Adding icing on the cake is far less good than helping someone in need. Just show them up often and think of them when Natsuki Subaru needs help.

But by that time I will probably have left this world, so the future will be left to Reinhardt. I hope he can hold on.

At this moment, Natsuki Subaru suddenly covered her chest with her hands and spoke in a low voice pretending to be shy.

"No, I will always love Emilia."

"…What are you crazy about?"

"Because Zun Zun came here specifically to see me, right? But I'm sorry, Zun Zun is a good person, please allow me to refuse. I love Emilia with all my heart, because E.M.T! Ah, what I just meant is that Emilia is really an angel."

He became more and more enthusiastic as he spoke.

If this wasn't the border earl's mansion and Natsuki Subaru was not a servant here, Zun Zun really wanted to punch him.

"I'm sorry, I also like women. Besides, I have a fiancée waiting for me in my hometown."

"...You have a fiancée but you're still hooking up with other men. You're a bastard who plays with women."

"How rude, we are pure love."

Zun Zun rolled his eyes.

How dare this guy talk about himself? He already has Emilia but he is still flirting with Rem.

This also made him sure that Natsuki Subaru had not grown crooked, otherwise he would have to consider whether to use the Personality Correction Fist on him.

But this is just the beginning.

Next, Natsuki Subaru will be dying in agony, literally dying in agony. In terms of the pain he feels, even Pain would have to kneel down and call him big brother. In terms of the number of deaths, even Sato Kazuma would have to admit defeat.

"Why are you looking at me like that? Zun Zun, you're scaring me."

"…Stay strong and live on, brother."

"Ghetto Greeting!?"

Natsuki Subaru yelled in shock.

Leave the mansion.

"Aren't you waiting for Emilia to come out? She is currently entertaining guests. You should also say hello to her, Zun Zun."

“No need. We’ll have many opportunities to meet in the future, so there’s no need to rush. Also, if you have time, Subaru should go visit the Astraea family. Felt is looking forward to you visiting her.”

"Oh, if there's a chance."

Natsuki Subaru agreed immediately.

The two men came to the courtyard and saw a very strange combination of two old butlers beside the dragon carriage. One of them was gesturing with his hands, and the other seemed to understand what he wanted to express and nodded from time to time.

"Can you understand what he means..."

Natsuki Subaru complained slightly, but soon he put his hands on his head and wailed, "Ah, it's over! I actually forgot to spy on that old gentleman! It's all because of Zun Zun's sudden visit, which disrupted my plan!"

"Old gentleman? Which old gentleman?"

"That's the old man with the low ponytail."

"Ah, you're talking about Mr. Will. I know him very well. Feel free to ask me anything you have."

"Who are you?"

The voice of the person next to him made him feel itchy, and Natsuki Subaru took a step back uncomfortably. What came into view was a cute cat-eared girl.
