Chapter 414: The difference makes Sato Kazuma lost in a neighboring country
"Okay, are you all ready?"

"Ready!" X5

Three days after Alice's letter, it was time for Zun Zun and his friends to set off.

Except for Darkness who had a worried look on her face, everyone else had more or less excited expressions on their faces. After all, this was no different from traveling abroad.

"Wait a minute everyone, we have a guard duty this time, you haven't forgotten that, right?"

"No, no. I'm just looking after Alice for a while in my free time. It won't interfere with our trip."

"Aqua, you got it wrong!"

It would have been better if she didn't say it, because once she did, she became even more scared.

But the letter that also served as an escort has already been sent, the arrow is on the string and has to be shot, and there is no room for maneuver at this point.

Then--

"Teleport!"

After the light disappeared, the group arrived at the royal city they had not seen for a long time.

"Stop! No outsiders are allowed to enter!"

Oh, before they could come to their senses, they heard the guards shouting. It must be said that the guards in the royal city were very meticulous.

"I'm sorry, actually--"

"Your Majesty!?"

"……Um?"

Suddenly, the guard in front of him walked up to him very closely and lifted his mask, revealing a familiar face.

"It's me! Do you remember me?"

"Ahh, it's you!"

He was a guard he had met before in the defense of the capital and on the front line of the fortress. He didn't expect to meet him again in the royal city. He seemed to sense Zun Zun's doubts and explained that it was just a shift rotation and they just happened to meet.

"I wonder what the Venerable Master is going to do this time..."

"It was commissioned by the royal family."

Zun Zun handed over the envelope.

Looking at the royal emblem on the envelope, the guard exclaimed, "As expected of you, my Lord, you are so trusted by the royal family."

“It’s not something to brag about.”

For ordinary people, being favored by the royal family will always give them a sense of superiority, but for Zun Zun, who can still live well without relying on the royal family, the only reason he came was Alice's request rather than the royal family's commission.

"Wait a moment, I will ask my superiors immediately."

"sorry to bother you."

The guard said and left quickly.

Fortunately, he did not open the envelope to confirm, otherwise, seeing the letter torn in half, he didn't know whether he would be arrested for destroying the royal token - don't think it's outrageous, in fact, many officials in ancient China were executed in this way.

"Your Excellency, please come this way."

"Oh."

The remaining guards took them to the lounge to wait, and after he introduced them to the many guards in the security room, they were the team that successively defeated the cadres of the Demon King's army, repelled the invasion of the royal city, and solved the safety of the fortress front line, and they received unanimous praise.

Aqua, Darkness, Satou Kazuma, and Megumin were completely overwhelmed by the flattery, and even the shy Yunyun gradually smiled.

Zun Zun was of course also given special care, but many people praised his good looks, which made him even more unhappy.

A long time passed.

"Ahh! It's really coming!"

A distressed cry came from the door of the guard room, and a familiar looking magician appeared there, with her hood pulled low. Judging from her own magic power, she should be the daughter of a noble family, Rain, who was in charge of education and protection.

"What's going on? This is too much!"

"That's right, it was Alice who asked us to come, so we came here specially!"

"Speaking of which, you should hold an award ceremony or a banquet to praise the team that defeated another Demon King Army cadre, right!?"

Rain's attitude made everyone very dissatisfied.

Sato Kazuma, Megumin, and Aqua, on the other hand, started to nitpick, leaving her speechless and able to only look away in embarrassment.

But only for a moment.

After that, Rain grabbed Darkness's hand, and after a pause, she grabbed Zun Zun's hand, and she led the two of them out in a somewhat forceful manner.

"Lord Dustinis, didn't I ask you to find a way to get him to give up this commission? If you hand Her Highness Alice over to him, it will definitely turn into a diplomatic issue! And Lord Zun, I remember sending you a letter as well, right?"

"I know, I've tried my best, but... don't worry, I will drug him when we arrive in the neighboring country and let him sleep for the time that Alice stays in the neighboring country."

“Darkness, you…”

Zun Zun never expected that this guy actually had such a big conspiracy.

"As expected of Lord Darkness, I feel relieved. Then..." Rain looked at Zun Zun again, "It is certain that Lord Zun Zun will come, but didn't I tell you not to bring him along? What if it turns into a diplomatic incident?"

"Don't worry, I have a solution."

"any solution?"

"If it really comes to that, I will destroy all the neighboring countries."

Zun Zun seemed completely unaware of what he was saying.

Lei Yin excitedly grabbed Zun Zun by the collar and said in a low and hurried voice: "What are you talking about? If that happens, it will really turn into a diplomatic incident!"

"So I told you not to worry." Zun Zun broke free and said, "The purpose of Kazuma is to die there. In that case, wouldn't we have an excuse to take action? Don't worry, I will definitely wipe out the royal family of the neighboring country from this world."

"My Lord, are you a devil..." Rain never expected that the person in front of her would go to such an extent that he would even give up the life of his companion.

I don't know what's so surprising about this. It's just like "Kill my messenger, then there's nothing to say!" Only in this way can we be justified.

Darkness was also shocked.

“Respect, respect… Although Kazuma doesn’t do good things on a daily basis, you don’t have to go to this extent, right?”

"It doesn't matter. Aqua can revive him anyway. Besides, Kazuma doesn't care about his life!"

"——Who said I don't care? Don't jump to conclusions!"

In the distance, Sato Kazuma suddenly shouted at the top of his lungs.

forgotten.

In order to confirm whether someone was saying bad things behind his back, this guy specially learned the skill of lip reading. I guess he knew everything about the conversation between the three people just now.

At this time, there was another commotion outside the communication room.

"Sato Kazuma! I heard that Sato Kazuma is here, is it true?!"

The same familiar voice belonged to a woman who made Satou Kazuma a little scared.

Turned.

Seeing the nobleman who always wore a white suit, Claire, who was Alice's bodyguard, rushed into the room. When she saw Sato Kazuma, she grabbed his arm without saying a word and dragged him to the corner of the room.

It was unknown what the two were talking about.

Zun Zun hooked his fingers, and the black kitten that was originally curled up in Aqua's arms jumped down, walked lightly to the two of them, and the sound of conversation also came into his ears.

"Why, lady in the white suit, you don't want me to be your bodyguard?"

"Don't call me White Suit! But you're a good guy this time, I want to thank you."

Claire was not as hostile as imagined, but instead expressed gratitude. However, this made Sato Kazuma even more wary.

"You actually thanked me, what's your intention?"

"No intention... not really. Here, this is for you."

Claire handed a necklace that she always wore on her chest to Sato Kazuma. Although the pattern was a little different, it could still be seen that it was the same important item that Darkness always wore on her body, which was used by nobles to prove their identity.

"...want to woo me?"

"go to hell!"

Claire yelled, but quickly swallowed the rest of the words back and whispered quickly, "That's not the case. I think this is the only time I can cooperate with you."

"cooperate?"

"I say this because there are many political considerations involved in this meeting... However, from the very beginning, before discussing these factors, I was opposed to the engagement of Her Highness Alice."

“I feel the same way.”

The two seemed to reach an agreement.

Sato Kazuma looked at the badge on his chest and asked, "Okay, tell me the details of your intention."

"Listen carefully. Your Highness Alice's partner is the first prince of a neighboring country. However, perhaps because he was spoiled since childhood, this guy is a very willful brat."

Claire has a bad impression of the prince of the kingdom.

There is nothing we can do about this.

After all, her innate fighting ability is far inferior to Alice's, and her appearance is far inferior to Alice's. In addition, the neighboring countries actually look down on the kingdom.

Therefore, if Alice married him, she would definitely be called a country bumpkin behind her back and be treated very harshly. This is the sorrow of all small countries.

"So I'm going to give this thing to you."

Claire's eyes turned gloomy, and she half-forcefully stuffed a black paper bag into Sato Kazuma's hand.

"what is this?"

"The poison used by nobles to kill their political enemies..."

Before he could finish his words, Sato Kazuma threw it away as if he had touched a hot potato.

"Asshole, do you know how much I spent to get this thing!?"

"Why do you guys always want me to be an assassin? I don't want to be one! Besides, why don't you let Zun Zun do it?"

"What nonsense are you talking about! Your Excellency is ten thousand times better than you and you shouldn't do such a thing!"

"Okay, I will never agree to that!"

Whether it was Zun Zun or Claire, they always thought of treating Sato Kazuma as a discarded pawn, and such a humiliating comparison made him even more unhappy.

But in the end, the two reached an agreement.

In exchange, Sato Kazuma would be able to freely exercise the power of the noble Morifoniya family to a certain extent, and in return, Sato Kazuma would do his best to destroy this marriage.

So, the two people who had reconciled held each other's hands tightly and laughed at each other for a long time.

Zun Zun shook his head helplessly.

Why bother with so much trouble? Just let Sato Kazuma get lost in a neighboring country, and then force them to teach others. In this way...

“That… Zun Zun, Zun Zun!?”

"What's wrong...Alice!?"

After hearing the somewhat lonely voice, Zun Zun came back to his senses and saw a somewhat shy and embarrassed girl who had appeared behind him at some point.

"Long time no see. I've been waiting for you for a long time."
