The legend of the Crimson Demon clan started from Suqing.

Chapter 359 The Bard's Song is the Legend of the Demon King
After that incident, the deal naturally fell through.

Otto was so angry that he almost yelled at the two people who suddenly broke in and disrupted the transaction, but before anything could happen, Zun Zun dragged him away.

Walking on the streets of Watergate City.

"I can't stand it, I really can't stand it!" Otto was still upset about what happened just now. He clenched his fists and complained loudly: "What on earth was that person thinking? The deal was almost successful, just so close! But he suddenly came out to mess things up. Does he really know what he did!?"

"Okay, okay, don't be angry."

"My achievements..."

Zun Zun's comfort seemed to have no effect.

"But, Otto, why are you so concerned about this transaction? Have you forgotten that you are my knight?"

"Didn't the venerable Lord ask me to try my best to facilitate the deal?!"

“It hurts so much.”

The roar in his ears made his head hurt.

Otto is a gentle but stubborn person. He will of course try his best to complete the tasks assigned by his superiors, and he naturally has no good feelings towards Natsuki Subaru who ruined the deal.

"I thought you two would be good brothers."

"Who would get along well with him? A guy like him who is impatient, unreasonable and reckless will shorten your life if you are with him."

"oh oh……"

"What does that look mean?"

"nothing."

Zun Zun shook his head, while Otto, who was very angry, was still muttering, dissatisfied with Natsuki Subaru's reckless behavior, and felt sympathy for Emilia who had to take care of him like a baby.

"I'm talking about Otto. I mean, if...if I hadn't intervened, and you were actually on the same side as Natsuki Subaru, and were Emilia's internal affairs officer..."

"Impossible, absolutely impossible! If that's the case, I would rather be killed by the Witch Cult!"

Otto waved his hands quickly and spoke in a decisive tone.

how to say……

It doesn't feel like a hasty denial, but more like a complaint - Otto from the original timeline possesses him and tells Zun Zun about his pain.

If he had not intervened, Otto would have been captured by the Witch Cult in the border earldom, and then rescued by Natsuki Subaru, and would have used this as an opportunity to become a reliable internal affairs officer in his camp.

But after being intercepted by himself, Otto became his knight.

The positions of knight and chamberlain are different, and there is no distinction between high and low, but whether it is a knight or a chamberlain, Otto can do a good job, and it can be said that he is both civil and military.

Normally, when Natsuki Subaru was in the Sanctuary, he was in a dead end. It was only because Otto, who was not recorded in the prophecy, became a wall breaker that he managed to get through the difficult times. When Otto and Zun Zun went to the Sword Saint Family's territory, how did Natsuki Subaru successfully break through?
"…What's wrong, sir?"

"nothing."

Wouldn't it be clear if I ask the person in question when I get back?

"By the way." Zun Zun stopped and looked at the black-skinned, twin-tailed beautiful girl behind him and asked, "Why did you follow me?"

"Exposed!"

"What do you mean by exposed or not? You don't have any intention of hiding yourself, do you?"

Zun Zun rolled his eyes in annoyance at Liliana who was scratching the back of her head pretending to be embarrassed.

"Shouldn't you be comforting the son of the Chamber of Commerce at this time? What do you want to do by running out?"

"Alas, Chilitaka is currently in a state of rage, so of course I have to leave for a while to let him calm down."

"Leaving will only make him angrier, right? Besides, whose fault do you think it is that he became like that?"

"hey-hey."

"I'm not praising you!"

Liliana was like a troublemaker. The more you condemned her, the more she would be regarded as a reward, and she would even be proud of it. This guy was undoubtedly a dangerous person.

"So, why are you following me?"

"……like?"

"Hey!"

"Just kidding, just kidding!" Liliana waved her hands and said, "Even if the Lord tenderly handed me a handkerchief, I would not fall in love with you so easily. At most, I would sleep with you!"

In Zun Zun's opinion, this sentence is a joke.

After staring in silence, she let out a breath softly.

"I have a request."

Quietly, the cheerful and nonsensical atmosphere that Liliana had been surrounded by suddenly changed. From her voice, they inexplicably felt a sense of seriousness, sacredness and solemnity. It was like a great mission, which made Zun Zun and Otto's heart lift.

It was a sound that matched the heat she radiated when she sang.

"I am a wandering bard, traveling back and forth from place to place, a wandering being who keeps singing. For me who will not stay in a fixed place, there is a task that must be completed, that is-"

She looked at Zun Zun deeply and spoke word by word.

"The world's newest legend."

This is the purpose of Liliana's journey. As a bard who cannot leave any tangible things, the only way to leave evidence of her existence in the world is through songs. Creating songs that will be sung is also her lifelong task.

"……I see."

Zun Zun seemed to understand her thoughts.

"You want me to be the hero of your story, the one you sing about?"

"That's right!"

Liliana opened her arms, made a hugging gesture and said: "I am a bard. I will not cause waves in the world. The only way is to sing praises! Lord Zun Zun is a candidate for the king's choice and a hero who drives the development of the world. Being sung will be more conducive to your ascension to the throne! How about it, this is a win-win approach, right? " In other words, the singer is very optimistic about Zun Zun.

This is a truly win-win approach, as you can become more famous and more impressive, and you don't have to worry about being overshadowed by the singer - because she won't leave an impression. The two are interdependent.

"But I refuse! I love to say NO to self-righteous people the most!"

"……What!?"

The singer looked at Zun Zun in dumbfoundedness.

She didn't seem to understand why anyone would reject such good advice.

"You got one thing wrong, Liliana."

Zun Zun posed in a magical and devilish posture, his eyes turned slightly red, and a captivating light shone.

"My wish is not to be a hero who saves the world, but to be a demon king! That's right! The most benevolent, kind, supreme and powerful demon king! The reason for conquering White Whale and the Archbishop of Sloth is very simple, that is, they are in the way!"

Being rejected like this, Liliana lowered her head unconsciously. I couldn't see her expression as she was facing down. I guess she must have been very sad. I didn't expect that the hero was just an illusion, and the real person was actually the devil.

...What's going on? I feel so handsome.

Zun Zun was secretly happy.

"However, if you want to sing about the devil instead of the hero, I welcome you very much."

"……Pick."

"Ok?"

“I got a promise ahhhh——”

Liliana suddenly raised her head and raised her fist to the sky. Zun Zun was shocked by her momentum. Liliana approached with full momentum, blushing.

"I just promised you, didn't I? One day, you will tell me all the legends! In other words, I will be the sole owner of the legend of the sixth person chosen by the king!?"

"Of course I can... Hey, did you hear what I just said? I don't want to be a hero, I want to be a demon king."

"How handsome!"

"Ok?"

"I'm tired of hearing about heroes! That's right, I want a demon king! If you want to leave a deeper mark on the world, you should be a demon king legend like the witch! At this point, what's the point of talking about the royal way? The evil way is more impressive!"

Liliana made outrageous remarks.

I have to say, she has a point.

Family reunion is good, but tragedy can touch the soul more, this is Shakespeare's famous saying. Similarly, now that the kingly way has been praised for a long time, the devil type is more popular, such as the Witch of Jealousy.

"All I have to do is sing praises to the devil, right?"

"Ah, ah..."

"Then my great victory is confirmed! Long live, long live, long live! Great, great, great, great!"

Excited and happy, with an expression a girl shouldn't show, Liliana threw her instrument into the air, caught it and threw it up again, not caring at all and filled with joy.

Zun Zun wondered if he had accidentally turned the singer's XP gay. The singer who sang praises to heroes ended up singing praises to the devil. If the merchant's son knew about this, would he be angry?
"You really make me dumbfounded..."

"what?"

"It's like a girl who appears to be dignified on the surface, but is actually a hopeless slut."

"This is my nature!"

Liliana took out something like confetti from somewhere under her clothes that exposed a lot of skin, like a dancing girl, and threw it out, cheering so much that it gave people a headache.

She is too noisy.

Liliana was getting more and more excited. Zun Zun sighed deeply when he saw her attitude. He couldn't help but wonder if his decision was wrong.

What was going on with that sacred and solemn atmosphere that I only saw for a moment before?

Otto has been silent since a while ago.

He silently moved from Zun Zun's left side to the right side a little further away from Liliana. It was obvious that he was not suitable to deal with such a crazy singer, and there was obvious resistance on his face.

Oh, I forgot.

Liliana said that she had been to the Astraea territory half a year ago. I guess they had met at that time. Otto, such a polite man, hasn't said hello until now, which is enough to show how much he resists contact with Liliana.

"Wait, I know you're high right now, but I'm curious, if you want to sing praises, shouldn't you go to Natsuki Subaru?"

“Who says we can’t sing together?”

"Ok?"

"Who says you can only sing praises to one person?"

"Well."

It's so self-evident that it's impossible to refute.

Yes, who stipulated that Shakespeare, who wrote four great tragedies including Hamlet, could not write four great comedies including A Midsummer Night's Dream?
"I didn't expect you to bet on both sides."

"That's it!"

Liliana cheered and jumped for joy. The extent of her noise had caused confusion among passers-by. What Zun Zun did not expect was that -

"Zun Zun, what are you doing here? Are you being harassed by some strange person?"

“…Feit!?”

At some point, Firut had already arrived at this water gate city.
