The legend of the Crimson Demon clan started from Suqing.

Chapter 249 I’m a Male Succubus

Even though the process was bumpy, with the help of Natsuki Subaru's poor eloquence and the decisive information - after learning from several reincarnations that Crusch was planning to conquer the White Whale, he managed to convince the Duchess.

This is a victory of friendship (the right to develop the Eriol Great Forest), hard work (the time and place when the White Whale appeared), and bond (the idea of conquering the White Whale).

Natsuki Subaru was so moved that he shed tears of grievance.

The whole process was extremely difficult, and it took several reincarnations to reach this conclusion, but finally... I saw the dawn of win-win cooperation.

"still have a question."

"Again!?"

Natsuki Subaru, who was completely exhausted, had a great stress reaction when he heard that Crusch still had problems, but the Duchess turned a deaf ear to his complaints and looked at the girl on the other side who was as soft as a marshmallow.

"——Anastasia, what is your request?"

"what?"

"You don't have any demands, do you?"

Crusch had absolutely no trust in Anastasia's gentle smile.

You have to know that she only reluctantly agreed to Natsuki Subaru's request after obtaining the development rights of the Eriol Great Forest, the location where the white whale appeared, and the honor of defeating the white whale.

For Anastasia, who considers herself an excellent businessman, it is impossible for her not to have corresponding demands, and even the other party's greedy nature may be more than what she demands.

“That’s too much. Miss Crusch actually misses the Ren family so much… Hehe, it’s true.”

Despite being stared at with disbelieving eyes, Anastasia kept smiling.

"The Lun family is a merchant family, so they are looking forward to conquering the white whale. For merchants like me, the existence of the white whale is a matter of life and death. If we can destroy it, it will be a great help. As for the preparations and sundries, I'd like to take care of the Hexin Chamber of Commerce. Is that an exaggeration?"

He looked like he was planning to make a fortune.

"Wait a minute, regarding the transaction, the Commercial Guild of the Royal Capital should have priority, and so should Lady Anastasia. If you wish to intervene, please clarify this first."

The person who raised the protest was naturally Russell, the representative of the Royal Capital Commercial Union.

Amid the sparks flying between the two, Crusch keenly noticed Anastasia's concealment.

"And. You must have another reason."

“…I really can’t compare to Miss Crusch’s sensitivity. Is this also one of the abilities of the Divine Protection?”

The Duchess remained silent.

Anastasia sighed slightly and said, "Of course, there is another request."

She looked at Zun Zun standing beside her.

You should know that the bait used to catch this big fish was Zun Zun. In other words, Zun Zun was a big reason for this situation.

Crusch frowned slightly.

"Is it worth it?"

“I think it’s worth it.”

Facing the Duchess's strange eyes, Anastasia smiled and said, "The essence of a transaction is that both parties will reach an exchange if they feel it is appropriate, regardless of how precious the item is. Do you understand this, Miss Crusch?"

Money can't buy my happiness?
Crusch nodded. She knew clearly that Anastasia had equated Zun Zun with the development rights of the Eriol Great Forest, plus the information, honor and influence of the White Whale.

Natsuki Subaru scratched his head.

"It's a little strange for me to say this, but is it really okay? To be honest, I don't think Zun Zun is that valuable."

"Hey, you're taking advantage of me, but why are you still hurting me like that?"

Zun Zun punched Natsuki Subaru hard in the abdomen.

The marshmallow girl smiled sweetly. "How stupid! You want to try such an obvious shortcut even if it costs a certain amount of money. In fact, isn't that what Ms. Crusch, who felt a sense of crisis, tried?"

"Well."

Natsuki Subaru fell into deep thought.

Because of the white whale incident, he really hadn't thought about it in detail, why Zun Zun happened to appear in the mansion, and was talking and laughing with Crusch and Ferris, and even Crusch's outfit was full of femininity.

"Hey Hey hey……"

"Don't look at me like that, Natsuki Subaru. I am a woman after all, and I am over 20 years old."

Crusch did not hide or feel ashamed because of her actions, she has always been so open. Moreover, this kind of marriage is an extremely common thing. Even if the position of the noble one has changed and the result has changed, the essence is no different from a marriage.

Natsuki Subaru felt a little jealous when he saw the two beauties fighting for his favor.

"That's great. I'm so envious."

"What are you envious of? You already have Rem, so I envy you instead."

Zun Zun's words made Rem cover her cheeks shyly. She had a good feeling towards Zun Zun.

"Now that you've talked a lot, it's finally my turn, right?"

Zun Zun rolled his eyes in dissatisfaction, raised his delicate chin to Anastasia, and said, "I know you have bad intentions towards me. But you should be very optimistic about Julius, so why do you fall in love with someone else?"

"Please don't use such ugly words as 'plotting something bad'. Besides, the Lun family is not in love with someone else. The Lun family is a businessman and wants to get everything, no matter if it's you or Julius."

Anastasia's extremely greedy speech made people tremble all over.

I remembered that during the king selection ceremony, she had clearly expressed that she wanted a kingdom of her own to satisfy her greedy merchant soul.

And the same is true now.

Whether it was Zun Zun or Julius, she wanted them all.

Reverse harem! ? "Are you upset by Ren's words? Or are you actually a man with a strong desire for exclusivity? But as far as Ren knows, after becoming a king, you will have many close friends, whether it is a kingdom or an empire. If you are worried about falling out of favor, there is no need to worry. Ren will love you well."

"No, it's not that."

As Anastasia said, people of high status would have many concubines or concubines, not just kings, but also nobles. Zun Zun did not intend to say anything to her, after all, he was the one who had ideas about his fiancée and childhood sweetheart.

"I don't know if Julius would mind, but unfortunately, he and I will not be on the same page."

"Hey, don't talk to a little girl."

"She opened it first."

Zun Zun complained back to Natsuki Subaru who complained to him.

Anastasia looks pitiful with a rosy face, but her greedy nature is frightening. She is simply the epitome of lust. If you don't know who the lustful witch and the high priest are, it is easy to cause misunderstandings.

The corners of Crusch’s mouth curled up into a smile, and it was hard not to suspect that it was a smile of gloating.

"That was a failure, Anastasia."

"That's not necessarily true, Ms. Crusch. Just because you can't make a deal doesn't mean others can't do it. Most of the customers that the Lun family encounters are this tough, but they will soon give in under the Lun family's constant offensive, and this time is no exception."

Facing the Duchess's ridicule, Anastasia responded calmly, while expressing her firm belief that she could do it.

Crusch snorted softly.

She knew about Zun Zun's love affair, and through chatting she also knew that he had an unbreakable relationship with his childhood sweetheart, so she never thought that Anastasia would succeed.

Natsuki Subaru also completed the deal with Russell at this time.

In fact, the two were just acting in their tit-for-tat in order to facilitate the deal. The price was to trade the Meteor, an old flip phone, to Russell after the White Whale incident.

Anastasia and Crusch lamented that they had been deceived.

Natsuki Subaru stood up with high spirits.

"Okay, now that we have reached an alliance, let's start..."

"Wait a minute, Subaru."

Zun Zun spoke suddenly.

"I know you're anxious, but don't be anxious. You promised Miss Crusch and Miss Anastasia many benefits, what about mine?"

"you……"

Natsuki Subaru was stunned.

He didn't seem to expect that Zun Zun would say such a thing, and soon shouted in grievance: "Hey, that's too much, Zun Zun, I'm risking my life to save you! In fact, I have already saved you, okay!?"

"Let me correct you. Subaru, you have never saved me 'so far'. On the contrary, I have saved you."

The words that Zun Zun deliberately emphasized made Natsuki Subaru understand.

It is common sense that things that have not happened do not count. This is not the present tense, but the future tense.

After realizing this, Natsuki Subaru's face suddenly changed. He guessed that all the negotiations might fail. He looked at Zun Zun with pleading and lost eyes.

"……what do you want?"

“I have only one request.”

Zun Zun reached out and pressed his shoulder, applying a little force.

"Subaru, you need to value your life more."

"……Eh?"

"You always act recklessly without caring about your own life or death. If it were just you, it wouldn't matter, but now there are many people who care about you - such as Emilia and Rem. They are all worried about you. So, don't do anything reckless again."

Zunzun's words left Natsuki Subaru stunned on the spot.

Rem also said: "I have the same request. Subaru, you are always too desperate. Although Rem doesn't know why Subaru is so desperate, Rem cares about Subaru more than others."

“Rem… Your Excellency…”

Natsuki Subaru saw the serious expressions of Rem and Zunzun, and Crusch and the others didn't say anything, but they had the same idea.

My eyes gradually became moist.

"Ahh, I will."

He wiped away his tears of emotion and suddenly hugged Zun Zun.

"Thank you, Zun Zun, for caring about me so much. I'm so happy! Ah, if Zun Zun was a girl, I would definitely pursue you!"

“Let go, let go now! You pervert! Rem is jealous! So, why am I the one who turned into a girl, why not you?!”

"Ah, that's good too!"

"Forget it, you'll be so ugly if you become a girl! So, let me go!"

Zunzun desperately pushed Natsuki Subaru who put his face close to him, and at the same time asked for help from Crusch and Anastasia who were watching, but the two just watched silently.

“No wonder Miss Crusch didn’t succeed. If you have this kind of hobby, it really won’t work. By the way, how about letting Julius do it?”

"Felice, from now on, don't get close to Natsuki Subaru and Zun Zun, because you seem to be in their strike zone."

"Little Phyllis knows, meow."

The cat man agreed with a smile.

So after the tense and exciting meeting, there was a short period of happy time.
