The legend of the Crimson Demon clan started from Suqing.

Chapter 259 I forgot the beginning, the middle, and the end, anyway - secret recipe! Spicy!

Zun Zun still underestimated the thickness of the white whale's blood.

With all his magic power exhausted, he dragged his heavy and tired steps, moving slowly from his tail to his heart.

The white whale is a living creature, and as such it cannot avoid the desire to survive. At the last moment, it shifted slightly, and its body was split in two, but its heart was not damaged.

Zun Zun doesn't know if it can heal itself.

Of course, I don’t want to experiment.

The beating huge heart is strong and powerful, and it is this powerful heart that can support the white whale to fly in the sky. The heart that was originally protected by thick flesh and blood is now completely exposed.

"Drink!"

Insert your hand into the heart of the white whale, and the hot blood will pour down, turning Zun Zun into a bloody man. A strong squeezing feeling will follow, as if it is trying to expel the foreign body.

Gather the magic of the last cherry.

"——I'm fucking exploding!"

With a loud bang, the white whale's heart was completely shattered, and minced meat flew all over the sky.

The streets, which had been strangely quiet a while ago, were now filled with enthusiastic cheers. The expeditionary forces and mercenaries raised their weapons high. The constantly changing moonlight created a glittering scene that was a beautiful sight.

The huge body of the white whale lay on the plain, and the group of people surrounding it were infected by the frenzy.

Everyone was happy for the victory and moved to tears for achieving their long-cherished wish.

Zun Zun sat down on the grass covered with blood and flesh, and then he didn't care about the dirt here. He lay on the ground with his body limp, looking up at the bright moon sky.

Not good, it feels good!
He had to admit that if he encountered the white whale alone, he would definitely not be able to defeat it even if he knew its mechanism. Not to mention the mechanism, just the degree of its tough skin and flesh that was difficult to kill would make Elsa fall to the ground with weak legs and call it "big brother".

"——Zunzun! Hey, Zunzun!"

The one who poured cold water on the afterglow of victory was Natsuki Subaru, who kept shouting at the top of his lungs, riding a ground dragon and running back and forth on the corpse of the white whale.

"Zun Zun, where are you!?"

"Your Majesty—! Your Majesty—!"

Not only him, but also Fram and Rem, the three of them were anxiously shouting Zunzun's name.

If I accidentally died here, would Natsuki Subaru go back for me like he did for Rem? ...No, that shouldn't be possible.

Zun Zun shook his head.

He no longer had the strength to shout, so he stretched out a finger to gather the last bit of his magic power.

A bright flash of thunder flashed by.

Although it was very fast, it was enough. Any unnatural light on a moonlit night would attract other people's attention. Natsuki Subaru was keenly aware of this and ran towards the light source with the two women. When he saw Zun Zun in the atrium, Natsuki Subaru covered his nose and screamed.

"——Wow! Why did you make yourself so embarrassed?!"

"it's necessary."

It is no exaggeration to say that it was a sea of blood and corpses.

The huge corpse of the white whale surrounded Zun Zun, and his whole body was soaked in a sea of blood. If he were in a fantasy novel, he would probably be regarded as an invincible devil.

"Come on, let's go back."

"…You said Prince, please get in the car."

"You are a hero, right? Come on, hero, please get in the car. This is your victory. As you wish, you are the one who made a name for yourself?"

"Yeah, it feels great."

Zun Zun held the hand that Natsuki Subaru handed to him, and with the help of Fram, he finally rode on the earth dragon and ran towards the camp set up under the Sage Tree.

Thanks to his intervention, the Sage Tree did not fall.

Crusch and others were gathering there.

Everyone worked together to defeat the evil monster, and the story had a happy ending - reality would not end so simply, only fairy tales could have such an ending. In reality after the happy ending, there are still endless things that must be done.

Treat the injured survivors.

To bury the dead with great honor, leaving behind only their remains.

Explore the traces of the dead who left no bones behind.

This time seems to be particularly suitable for a certain style - the front is forgotten, the middle is forgotten, and the back is forgotten. In short, the people in the rear have more things to consider.

"Are you okay, Zun Zun?"

When Zun Zun returned to the camp, Crusch walked up to him quickly. Although he was covered in blood and mud, his posture with his back straight was still beautiful.

She is a beauty who has never lost her noble sense and still naturally lingers in the war, fully embodying the term "war maiden".

Just as rumored.

But rumors are just rumors after all, no matter if they are exaggerated or true, it is still not as good as seeing it with your own eyes. At least in this battle, Zun Zun recognized her.

Thumbs up and grin.

Kuerxiu breathed a sigh of relief. She really cared about Zunzun. After all, his identity was very sensitive.

Although she would not stop Zun Zun's decision, if an accident really happened, she would be blamed as the commander... She might even be blamed by the elders of the Sages' Association.

"I'm glad that Miss Crusch is safe too."

"That was me. The expeditionary force and the mercenary group must have suffered a lot of losses. Even if the white whale is eliminated, the things that disappeared will not come back."

There was some sadness in her eyes.

This is the terrifying thing about the white whale. Once swallowed by the fog, not only will its body be wiped out, but even its name and existence will be erased from memory.

"But I saw your high-spirited demeanor clearly."

"how does it feel?"

"Very handsome!"

"Well! You can praise me more."

Seeing Zun Zun's smug expression of enjoyment, Crusch couldn't help but smile. She seemed to have discovered another side of the person in front of her.

"It's really handsome. I'm completely attracted to it."

"Well."

“…Just kidding.” “Ms. Crusch is such a joker…”

Crusch easily resolved the awkward atmosphere, and Zun Zun's slightly stiff expression also melted away. Natsuki Subaru and Rem covered their mouths beside them.

"——There is an affair!" X2

“It’s just that, as a commander, Miss Crusch really admires me! …Right, Miss Crusch.”

"Who knows."

She said this ambiguously, as if deliberately trying to cause misunderstanding.

"Ah, a handsome figure will attract others, right Rem?"

“Yes! Subaru’s handsome appearance just now completely attracted Rem!”

The two of them sang in unison.

To be honest, Natsuki Subaru should just stop licking Emilia and stay with Rem forever.

"I, I thought so too. Your Excellency was really handsome just now!"

"...Fram, you don't have to force yourself."

"Huh? No! I really mean it!"

"I know you mean it, but you don't have to be sincere now."

The naive maid mistakenly thought that she should praise Zun Zun now. In fact, she also thought that Zun Zun was very handsome, but it was not what she thought now.

Several people laughed heartily.

The tension during the battle was swept away.

Natsuki Subaru suddenly saw a group of people surrounding the white whale, gesticulating and doing something unknown.

"What's that for?"

"We must transport the body of the white whale. It is our trophy, and we have no time to spare because it is after the war."

"Carrying away that big, deadly body?"

Natsuki Subaru wondered if he had heard it wrong, but Crusch's attitude did not change. He took a closer look at the white whale corpse that looked no different from a white hill.

"No, no, no, I can't do that."

"It's not an excuse to say you can't do it. It's been a threat roaming the skies over the world for four hundred years, so its corpse is irrefutable evidence that can give us peace of mind. We must bring it back no matter what... even if it's just its head."

Crusch insisted again and again.

If it were anyone else, one would have to doubt whether she wanted to show off her achievements first, but there was no need to doubt that with Crusch, she would never shamelessly covet the credit of the hero who shot down the white whale - Zun Zun.

Natsuki Subaru and Crusch both looked at Zun Zun.

They didn't say anything, and Zun Zun fell into deep thought. Just when they wanted to say that they didn't mean that -

"I want to eat the belly of the fish."

"I'll pour it!"

"You are truly extraordinary..."

Natsuki Subaru and Crusch were completely speechless.

I thought Zun Zun had also thought of this and might have some resentment or something, but I never expected that he would ask for eating beluga whale as soon as he opened his mouth.

"I say, are you really going to eat?"

"What are you talking about, Subaru? White whales were created to be eaten, so how can we not taste them? Anyway, hot pot, barbecue, spicy food! Fram, prepare the tools!"

"Yes, Your Excellency!"

Zun Zun drooled as he instructed the maid to find cooking tools. The others were completely speechless about the greedy Zun Zun.

"I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about the credit of White Whale...!"

"I forgot. As the first meritorious service this time, I have the right to choose the spoils first, right?"

"of course."

Crusch didn't think that Zunzun's request was excessive, rather it was very normal.

"Whether it's honor or achievement, I will make the Karlsten family..."

"Ah, then I want the whole fish belly."

"……what?"

“Felt said he wanted to eat white whale, so I’ll take this back.”

Crusch, who was talking slowly, was speechless in an instant. What she was thinking about just now was politics. Whether it was fame or achievements, it could be said to be a great help in taking the throne, but Zun Zun didn't want those at all, and even -

“What’s wrong? Is that too much to ask? Never mind. Half is fine. Felt can’t eat much.”

"You are really..."

Natsuki Subaru was also speechless.

After a brief moment of surprise, Crusch sighed and said, “I suddenly envy Felt a little.”

Zun Zun certainly knew what she wanted to say, but unfortunately, he had no intention of staying in this world for too long, nor did he intend to become a king. So he refused all offers of merit.

Soon, Wilhelm, Ricardo and others also arrived and were very happy to see that Zun Zun was safe and sound.

After recovering the head of the white whale, Crusch was about to return to the royal capital. She kindly left half of the soldiers behind and followed Natsuki Subaru and the others to Roswaal's territory.

Including Wilhelm and Ferris, the expedition team consisted of twenty-four people in total.

Including Mimi, Kuretaro and Ricardo, there are about ten members of Iron Fang in total.

It was a bit unsettling to have less than forty people to deal with the Witch Cult.

But Ricardo said that the other half of the Iron Fang Mercenaries would arrive soon.

When Natsuki Subaru saw the purple-haired handsome young man riding a blue earth dragon, his expression suddenly changed from joy to disgust, and he asked unhappily:
"Why is that you!"

"In the face of reinforcements, this statement is too much. You are still the same as always."

The person who came was Julius, with whom he had a feud.
