The legend of the Crimson Demon clan started from Suqing.

Chapter 292 There is really an affair this time!

"Well, let's go. Listen carefully, everyone. I will be the one who will deal with Her Highness Alice, so just focus on eating and nodding. I will explain any questions you have. Did you hear me? Did you remember? Speak!"

"Didn't you say you weren't allowed to talk?"

"You'd better not speak!"

Darkness said this firmly.

Zun Zun curled his lips.

It was clearly written in the letter that he wanted to meet me, but he took on so much responsibility.

Forget it, she is a noble after all.

Push open the door.

Behind the door was a spacious banquet hall that had a moderately high-end feel, but not too luxurious. The candles inside were all lit, maintaining a fairly bright brightness. There were also several servants standing by the dining table, silently waiting for orders.

The room, which was covered with bright red carpet, was furnished with a large dining table, which was laden with a variety of luxurious delicacies.

And at the other end of the dining table.

Sitting there was a girl wearing the same pure white dress as Darkness, Aqua, and Satou Kazuma.

The girl's appearance can be said to be a model of a princess.

Medium-length golden hair and clear blue eyes.

She exudes a noble temperament, yet gives people a vague impression of fragility. She is undoubtedly an orthodox beautiful girl.

Her lively green eyes lit up when she saw Zun Zun. She subconsciously wanted to stand up but stopped. However, the girl kept staring at Zun Zun, as if trying to attract his attention.

However, Zun Zun remained silent.

The eyes observe the nose, and the nose observes the heart.

The stranger's behavior made the girl's bright eyes turn dim, and she looked like an abandoned animal, which made people feel distressed.

I'm sorry, Alice.

Indeed, at this moment, it should be like in some comedy anime, where he jumps up, points at her and shouts "Ah, you are the person from this morning!" or something like that.

Zun Zun also knew that Alice was looking forward to that kind of reunion, or she might just be shocked, but the current occasion was not really appropriate.

because--

Standing on both sides of Alice... no, to be more precise, on the right side were short-haired beauties wearing knight dresses, looking at them with scrutiny. If there was anything unusual, they might be arrested on the spot for treason.

As for the beauty on the left, she is wearing a black dress and looks inconspicuous.

Darkness is in front.

Everyone slowly walked over to the three people.

"Sorry to have kept you waiting, Your Highness Alice. These are my friends and fellow adventurers. All right, the three of you. This is the country's first princess, Your Highness Alice. Please greet Her Highness, and don't be rude."

As she said this, she made way.

Aqua was the first to step forward. She gently lifted the hem of her skirt and saluted with perfect manners and movements. Seeing her appearance, not only Sato Kazuma, but even Darkness was stunned.

Could it be that yesterday’s special training was effective?

"I am a member who serves as the high priest, my name is Aqua. I hope you will take care of me in the future... Then, please allow me to perform a talent show as a greeting."

"Give me a moment!"

Darkness grabbed Aqua’s hand as she tried to perform, and took her aside rudely.

"Excuse me, Your Highness Alice. I have something to discuss with my companions..."

“Don’t get in my way, Darkness!”

Aqua pulled her braid unwillingly.

Huihui also took the opportunity to pull out a cloak from under her skirt, and then forced Youyou to make an unconventional self-introduction to her. The two's abrupt and funny actions made people laugh.

Then, Darkness, who had recovered, grabbed his head and took him away.

Zun Zun held his forehead and sighed.

It's not a good thing for your companions to be too energetic.

So, under the anxious gaze of Sato Kazuma and Darkness, Zun Zun also saluted with extremely elegant movements, which surprised the two of them slightly.

"Nice to meet you, Your Highness Iris..."

"Alice! It's Her Highness Alice!"

Zun Zun's greeting was interrupted. The short-haired golden-haired beauty's eyes were filled with disgust, and she was faintly angry as she held the sword in her hand.

"I actually called the princess by the wrong name..."

"S-Sorry! My companion accidentally ate a screw!"

Darkness covered Zunzun’s mouth.

it is good!
A complete and utter failure!

Even their highly anticipated Zun Zun had failed. Sato Kazuma had completely given up hope. But just as he was about to save face and introduce himself -

Her Royal Highness the Princess put her face close to the ear of the short-haired golden-haired beauty and spoke quietly.

Huh?
For some reason, there was a smile on Her Royal Highness the Princess's face. She seemed to be in a good mood?

Sato Kazuma subconsciously looked at Zun Zun, but found that his companion was winking at the Princess above, as if he was flirting with her.

"——There is an affair!"

He couldn't help but blurt out the words with his tongue rolled up, and then quickly covered his mouth.

He seemed to have discovered something extraordinary.

I can't say anything, in case someone says "You know too much" and I get killed by the royal family... At the same time, I turned around and looked at Huihui and Yunyun, and felt that the two of them had green hair on their heads. While Satou Kazuma was brainstorming, the short-haired beauty also listened to the princess's whisper.

She looked at everyone and said arrogantly, "That's why I said adventurers are low-level beings... You are so bold and untouchable that you actually called the wrong name of the royal family. According to common sense, you should be punished, but since you are a first-time offender, I will not punish you. Hurry up and finish the greetings and start telling your adventure story... Your Highness said so."

Sato Kazuma took a deep breath and raised his right hand.

"Substitute."

"Your Highness Alice, I'm sorry to ask you to wait for a moment! It seems that my companion is a little excited because he is too nervous. Let me communicate with him for a while!"

Darkness dragged him to a corner and scolded him.

Sato Kazuma's fantasy about the princess should be that of a little girl who just wanted to go out and play, but the words just now must have shattered his fantasy.

But in fact, Alice is not the kind of princess who looks down on others, but someone is hindering her actions and words.

"Why, that look in your eyes."

"nothing."

The person Zun Zun was looking at was the beautiful woman with short golden hair. It was all because she protected Alice too well, which prevented the shy princess from having the opportunity to express her true feelings and even dared not speak out her own demands.

"correct!"

Clapped his chin.

"This is a gift for Princess Alice... ahem, Princess Alice, for our first meeting. Please accept this."

Zun Zun took out a book from his arms.

《Shock! The Demon King's army invaded, the Crimson Demon Clan was in crisis, and the genius who was hailed as the only one in a thousand years used his unparalleled power to save his homeland and gain a harem!》

"You guy...!"

When the short-haired blond beauty saw the name of the book, her expression suddenly turned into anger and she couldn't help but draw her sword.

"How dare you give Her Royal Highness the Princess such a messed up book? What is your intention?"

"It's just a heroic story with an impressive name, but very ordinary content."

"what?"

"It's just like any other cheesy light novel. You can guess the general content just by looking at the title. It's really not worth reading. But... the content of this book is about my experience. I think Your Highness the Princess should be very interested."

"Her Royal Highness would not be interested in the experiences of a lowly person like you—"

"Claire."

The short-haired beauty... no, the princess guard named Claire, was stopped by a soft but firm voice.

It's Her Royal Highness the Princess.

"Bring the book here."

"Your Highness...I understand."

Claire reluctantly took the book and handed it to Alice.

I was surprised, I thought she would stop it.

I didn't expect him to be so obedient.

Sato Kazuma and the others were even more surprised. After all, in his opinion, the princess was unwilling to communicate directly with the lower class people, and didn't even want people to hear her voice, so she asked the guard named Claire to convey the message. But this was the first time he heard the princess' voice, and it was indeed very soft.

The scumbag's expression gradually became disgusting, and Darkness was so angry that she almost crushed his head.

Alice received the Hero's Tale with a happy smile on her face. She held it in her arms as if it were her treasure, and refused to let go even though Claire said she would help keep it for her.

Zun Zun took the opportunity to show a provocative smile of victory, which made Claire clench her fists in anger.

On the other side, Aqua also made a sand painting and gave it to Alice as a gift, and received a gem as a reward.

Then, Darkness lowered her head and looked embarrassed, then blushed as she sat down on the seat to the right of the princess; next to her were Sato Kazuma and Aqua.

Alice waved to Zun Zun, signaling him to sit on her left. Her eager look made Claire very jealous.

At first, Zun Zun thought she liked girls, but now it seems that she just likes Alice, and Alice happens to be a girl.

No hesitation.

He strode to the left side of the dining table and sat down.

Huihui and Youyou were equally jealous, so they sat down next to Zunzun.

Alice wanted to speak, but when she opened her mouth, she seemed to have thought of something, then she leaned over and whispered in Claire's ear, but her eyes were always on Zun Zun.

"Uh-huh--"

Huihui gritted her teeth.

The female guard Claire also gritted her teeth, snorted unwillingly, and said, "You are the person that the Demon Sword Hero Yu Jian mentioned before, right? Let me hear your story. His Highness said so... and even Lord Yu Jian has to respect you. I also want to hear your story."

She changed her unhappy expression and looked a little excited.

Flying sword in the night?

Haven't heard any news about him for a long time.

That guy had bought expensive skill point potions on credit from me a long time ago, and he hadn't been heard from since. However, he repaid all the money he had spent on the skill point potions in the second month, and he would buy a bottle of skill point potion almost every other month.

I guess his strength is no longer the same as before?
While thinking, Zun Zun also organized his thoughts, and under the expectant gaze of Alice and Claire, he began to tell them about their experiences.

Mainly in the alternate world - Re:Zero, the battle with Elsa and White Whale.

Because Alice doesn't like to hear stories about monsters being annihilated in a gorgeous, invincible way, she likes thrilling and thrilling stories.

after all--

Back then, she took good care of me in the dungeon under the royal capital.
