The legend of the Crimson Demon clan started from Suqing.

Chapter 263 If you don’t do it, Palu (the elf) will do it!

On the way to the border earldom, everyone used Julius's consciousness magic to continuously improve the plan to eradicate the Witch Cult.

They did not encounter any enemies along the way and arrived at the village smoothly.

The villagers were a little scared when they saw the bloody expeditionary force and mercenary group coming, but thanks to Natsuki Subaru who had gained a lot of favorability before leaving, he calmed the villagers down with just a few words.

The afternoon sun was unusually warm, the breeze blowing through the forest made a rustling sound, and a lazy atmosphere filled my face.

It is hard to imagine that there is a murderous intention hidden in the peaceful village.

Natsuki Subaru and Wilhelm left the team and went to Roswaal's mansion first. He said that he accidentally made a fatal mistake - stuffing a blank piece of paper into the letter to Emilia.

This means a clean break, and we have to clear up the misunderstanding.

Zun Zun suspected that he had caused quite a bit of trouble in his last reincarnation because of this incident and wasted time, so this time he planned to resolve the misunderstanding first.

I don't have the energy to care.

Zun Zun is currently signing a contract with the elves, or to be more precise, the quasi-elves, under the guidance of Julius.

According to him, elves actually have a strong sense of exclusivity, or possessiveness. Especially elves and great elves, they almost never coexist with other elves.

"You mean, I can also sign contracts with multiple spirits like you?"

"It's micro-elves and quasi-elves."

Julius corrected the mistakes in Zun Zun's words.

Micro-elves have almost no consciousness of their own, so whether it is the contract or after the contract, they will develop most towards the imagination of the contractor.

But the problem is that micro-elves have almost no potential, and only a very small number can transform into quasi-elves. No one knows how to judge whether someone has potential, not even Parker, one of the four great elves, can tell.

"And in this case, the bud that is about to bloom - the quasi-elf, is the best choice."

"What you said is absolutely true."

The only ones who have guaranteed potential, are still malleable, and can reluctantly agree to multiple contracts are quasi-elves.

After clarifying this, Zun Zun began to screen.

Elves attach great importance to contracts.

And the contract is not quite the same as I imagined.

For example: Some elves require the contractor to offer them a bull's head after finishing the work, otherwise they will freeze all the lakes on the earth. When the world is about to fall into a major crisis, the elves say that fish heads will also be fine.

It's just so ridiculous.

But it also shows from the side that the elves attach great importance to contracts.

Natsuki Subaru had been reminded of this by Zun Zun before, but even so, he still had an unpleasant expression after hearing Julius' explanation.

Because he has violated the contract with Emilia countless times.

Even if they said nice things and were thinking about the other party, a violation of the contract was a violation of the contract anyway, and it was no wonder that Emilia was so angry at the time.

——Zun Zun has no interest in knowing his love story!

Now, Zun Zun is in trouble.

"Don't worry, sir. With your qualifications, you can definitely contract elves. The key to treating them is to treat yourself as a friend, not as a master who enslaves them."

Julius was a qualified teacher.

He continued to teach the key points of getting along with the elves and what they needed to pay attention to. However, Zun Zun was not able to successfully contract the elves until they arrived at the destination of this trip - the border village.

"By the way, has Subaru signed the contract?"

“…No, it’s really strange. Subaru is very popular among the elves, but no elf is willing to sign a contract with him. Even I don’t understand the reason.”

Julius was rarely distressed.

The fact that he can cause such an intelligent character a headache shows how weird Natsuki Subaru is.

By the way, in a certain IF world line, Subaru Natsuki barely managed to contract a micro-elf after countless efforts, which saved him from being possessed by the Archbishop of Sloth and successfully killed him.

Could it be that the lingering scent of the witch is disturbing him?

Doesn't that mean that Natsuki Subaru's official elf from the beginning to the end is the artificial elf in the mansion? Wait, if that's the case, then the Greedy Witch from the beginning...!
Zun Zun seems to have discovered a blind spot!
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty...!"

"Oh, sorry, I let my attention wander. What's going on, Julius?"

"I want to ask you, what went wrong?"

Zun Zun looked at the elegant purple-haired knight beside him in surprise. This guy was such a good and responsible teacher. He was moved and told him his predicament quickly.

"--name."

"what?"

"Name these little guys."

Seeing Julius's strange expression, Zun Zun said, "For some reason, these little guys don't like the names I gave them. It's really a headache."

...Isn't this the simplest step? After signing the contract with the elves, it is the most important and simplest step at the end of the ceremony - the step of branding the name of the contractor.

It’s just a name, what’s so difficult about it?
Julius seemed to have thought of something, and he said, "Excuse me, sir, what names did you give these quasi-elves..."

"Zuotuan, Daitiro, Jiaoxiyou, Dangjuan, Dianniute, Haiqiangpiao... It hurts, it hurts, please don't hit me! I'm already thinking of the names carefully, why are you still so angry! This is too much!"

Then I saw colorful quasi-elves constantly hitting Zun Zun's head, making him scream in pain.

Julius showed no expression on the surface, but he was saying in his heart: Good fight!
Elf.

From the impression, we can imagine that this is a group of either cute or mighty races, and their names are also relatively cute or mighty - such as Puck, Betty, Ignis, etc., unlike Zun Zun who would have such a weird name, so it is understandable that the elves are angry.

Julius sided with the elves.

But he could not help at all in this regard. After all, the name was a gift from the contractor to the elf and had to be chosen by the contractor himself.

"—Hey, Julius!"

Natsuki Subaru and Wilhelm, wearing white cloaks, hurried over. They must have successfully resolved the misunderstanding about the blank letter and informed Emilia of the information about the White Whale and the Witch Cult.

"Let's go, it's time to do our work."

"Defeat the Witch Cult, right? I've been ready for this for a long time."

Julius placed his hand on the knight's sword at his waist, a look of determination on his face.

"I say, meow." The cat-eared man looked at the back of Zun Zun who was still sitting on the carriage and said, "Although little Felice doesn't think there will be any problems, it's okay to take Master Zun Zun with you. His strength is obvious to everyone."

Zun Zun is a stay-behind person.

He would not and could not fight the Archbishop of Sin.

"That's why we can't let Zun Zun go with us. Have you forgotten the characteristics of his body?" Natsuki Subaru paused and said, "If he is possessed, the consequences will be disastrous."

"That's too much, Subaru. With Master Will and Julius here, even if Master Zun is possessed, the two of them can subdue him."

Phyllis believed in the abilities of the two.

But Natsuki Subaru shook his head and said seriously: "If that's the case, none of us would be a match for Zun Zun. No one can stop him."

"I agree. I agree with this statement."

"As much as I hate to hear anything Subaru said, I'm sorry, Ferris, but my spirit told me that I have no chance of winning."

The cat man was horrified by the answers of Wilhelm and Julius, but he forced a smile as if he didn’t want to admit his incompetence.

"It doesn't matter, if that happens little Phyllis will stop him!"

——You died the most miserable death!

Subaru Natsuki once again had a vision of himself being split in two by violent thunder in front of him, and couldn't help but cover his mouth to prevent himself from vomiting, but this action was regarded by Ferris as an insult and contempt.

"Hey! Just say whatever you want to say, meow!"

"...Nothing. In short, Zun Zun will not participate in the operation to eradicate the Witch Cult. If the Archbishop of Sin possesses a finger and then transfers to Zun Zun's body... Moreover, if Zun Zun has not signed a contract, we have no way to prevent the Archbishop of Sin from possessing him."

"Yes, little Phyllis knows, meow."

The cat man didn't really want Zun Zun to go to the battlefield, he just couldn't help but refute when he and others were looked down upon.

Then they took action.

According to the strongholds of the Witch Cult and the fingers hidden in the woods marked by Natsuki Subaru after several reincarnations, find them and eliminate them together.

And Zun Zun is not without a job.

The convoy assembled by Anastasia has arrived at the village, and the villagers are getting on the dragon carts one after another to prepare for the transfer. His job is to manage order at the scene and to catch the witch cultists hiding in the convoy.

Of course, he pushed all these tasks to Otto.

I have to say, although this guy complained about why he had to do this kind of work, he still managed everything in an orderly manner. He might be better at the position of internal affairs officer than the knight.

Zun Zun is still naming with the elves.

"Okay, I get it. Let's each take a step back! How about this? Your names are Little White, Little Black, Little Red, Little Yellow, Little Green, and Little Blue... It hurts so much, so much! Didn't I tell you to each take a step back? You should listen to me carefully!"

The elves kept hitting him on the head.

The great man's window theory doesn't seem to be applicable in the other world.

But it worked out in the end.

Because Zun Zun took a different approach and said firmly, "If you don't like this name, then I will find an elf who likes this name! Think about it carefully, there is nothing wrong with this name. After all, this is my nickname for you, it is the name I like. Who else would call you this? This is a unique name, you should be happy!"

After all, he is very popular among the elves and has many choices. He doesn't have to worry about these prospective elves.

If you don't do it, there will be more to do!

Therefore, under such coercion and inducement, he successfully signed contracts with six elves with all attributes, which was another application of the window theory.
