The legend of the Crimson Demon clan started from Suqing.

Chapter 424 The prince of the neighboring country is my little fanboy

the next morning.

Zun Zun was at the hotel, watching his companions leave.

Aqua is going to the casino like before, while Huihui wants to explore somewhere, and Yunyun accompanies her because she is afraid that something might happen to her, and Darkness is going to collect useful information.

Then Zun Zun and the others decided to leave for the royal city in accordance with yesterday's declaration.

"To be honest, I still think it's better to solve it directly with force."

“Don’t do this! Things are already on the right track. Doing anything extra will only complicate the problem. And didn’t Darkness ask you not to do this before we parted?”

Sato Kazuma was talking about how this morning, Darkness repeatedly begged Zunzun not to do anything out of line, and even almost knelt down for it.

This guy never thought that things would turn out so smoothly now. It was all thanks to Zun Zun's promotion. However, that guy actually thought he would do something out of line.

...Of course, this also has a lot to do with the fact that he has always shown a militant attitude since he came here.

"Alice, if you feel that the prince is making things difficult for you, you can always refuse. Then I will overthrow the entire king!"

"Well, I agree with this."

Sato Kazuma nodded.

It is absolutely not allowed to let Alice suffer any injustice.

"Thank you."

The girl said nothing, but just smiled happily.

After arriving at the royal city, he was immediately taken to the training ground and faced the test of the prince.

"What do you mean by a duel?"

"It's simple. I just want you to give up." He spread his arms towards the knights in the training ground and said, "I like interesting things. If you fight with my subordinates and win, I will increase your support money."

He seemed very confident in his knights.

"Oh, then I—"

"Wait! It's not you who's on the field, it's her!"

Prince Levi would certainly not be so foolish as to let Zun Zun take action, so he stopped Zun Zun who was ready to fight, and instead pointed at Alice who was a little dazed.

"You are a member of the royal family of Zellberg, right? Since you are a militant royal family, you should set an example. Or are you too weak to fight with these knights..."

"I accept!"

Alice agreed to his proposal immediately, drew her sword as if it was a matter of course, and stood in front of the prince happily.

The knights around her probably didn't expect a girl like this to accept a duel, and after a moment of shock...

"Prince Levi, please leave it to me!"

"No, let me do it! I'll teach this arrogant little girl a lesson!"

"Please wait a moment. I am the weakest one in this knight group. Logically, I should be the first to go!"

Perhaps feeling that they were being looked down upon, the Knights rushed to express their desire to play.

Prince Levi wanted her to give up, but he didn't expect Alice to agree. Instead, he said worriedly, "Are you okay? It's better not to force yourself. If you get hurt..."

"It's okay. I'm confident. So everyone, feel free to teach me."

“Hmm…Is that so?”

Prince Levi seemed a little angry, as if he felt that his kindness was being trampled upon.

One of them, who seemed to be the knight commander, stood up with an indignant look on his face and said, "How dare you disrespect Prince Levi's kindness? And from what you just said, didn't you mean a one-on-one match? Even if you are the princess of the notorious fighting Belzerg clan, you look down on us too much, don't you?"

"That's not what I meant... But I can handle any number of them, and I'm ready to fight at any time."

Perhaps he took her words as a provocation, and the knight raised his sword without waiting for the order to start.

"——Extelion!"

The next second, Alice casually slashed and chopped off the opponent's sword that was raised above his head.

"……what?"

I don't know who called out.

The knights who were originally talking and laughing all stopped talking, and the atmosphere in the training ground froze.

"continue."

"……Eh?"

"Please come along."

"How dare you look down on us? Come on—"

The angry knights rushed forward, but were all chopped away by Alice's simple Extelion. The training ground was littered with corpses, and the knights lay motionless.

If it were expressed in anime, it would be like roaring in the previous frame and lying dead in the next frame.

To say it was fleeting is no exaggeration.

The prince was as obedient as a little wife, sitting among them with an expression of disbelief on his face.

Alice told him honestly how strong the fighting princess was.

Even though the fight was so intense, she didn't shed a drop of sweat. She looked calm, and after stabbing the training sword in her hand into the ground, Alice smiled at Prince Levi.

"So……"

"I, I understand! I will increase the support funds! So...!"

Prince Levi kept backing away, waving his hands, looking flustered and at a loss. Zun Zun looked regretful because he didn't say the standard line "Don't come over here!"

This guy doesn't understand anything.

Alice cheered after her victory, "Great, Brother! I got another 10% of the budget!"

"Yes, that's great." "Well done, Alice."

The two were not worried about Alice's battle. They already knew Alice's strength on the way here, so a mere knight would not cause any trouble.

"Wait a minute, it's not even 10% yet."

"What, you want to cheat?"

"No way! As a member of the royal family, how could I possibly cheat?!"

Prince Levi seems to be obsessed with cheating. No, it is precisely because he is a member of the royal family of a casino powerhouse that he is obsessed with these things, right?
"That……"

"Don't get me wrong. You remember what I said last night, you can increase the support money if you win, but I said you have to stay in the coin toss. What I mean is-"

"Only if you win the coin toss will the 10% support be increased?"

"That's it!"

I didn't expect that the other party also set a language trap. I really underestimated him.

However, Sato Kazuma was not worried. No matter how they flipped the coin, they could not lose. It would just take longer for them to win enough support money.

"Of course, if you leave with just this..."

"Stop talking nonsense and guess the coin!"

Sato Kazuma took out a coin, shook it quickly in front of him, then clenched his fists and asked Prince Levi to guess.

"left!"

"Unfortunately, I guessed wrong."

"Damn it!"

Prince Levi stamped his feet constantly because of his empty left hand, but he did not cheat or make excuses. Instead, he simply accepted the defeat.

His perception of him changed slightly.

Zun Zun said at this time: "Okay, now that it's over, let's take our leave today..."

"Wait a minute!" Prince Levi suddenly called them, then with his hands behind his back he said shyly, "Would you like to have lunch together... or something?"

"……Eh?"

"Don't, don't misunderstand! As a royal family, we can't just drive away our distinguished guests like this, so, so..."

This guy became inexplicably arrogant.

He was so arrogant last night and tried to chase people away, but now he said such things. Just when Zun Zun and Sato Kazuma were wondering what he was trying to say, Alice had already gladly accepted the invitation.

The invitation from the neighboring royal family cannot be rejected casually, so you must accept it with due courtesy.

The reception was still very simple.

It seems that the tight financial situation will continue.

No one spoke at the banquet, not even a word, and Prince Levi often seemed to be hesitant to speak. He would steal a glance at Zun Zun from time to time, and when Zun Zun looked at him, he would suddenly lower his head.

Finally, Zun Zun couldn't hold on any longer.

"Prince Levi."

“Y-yes!?”

When his name was suddenly called, his voice became a little shrill.

Zun Zun didn't pay attention to his strangeness, but asked, "Excuse me, what can I do for you?"

"me……"

Prince Levi opened his mouth.

In fact, Sato Kazuma and Alice also found it very strange. Ever since they met... no, after knowing Zun Zun's real name, he frequently cast his eyes over to them. Whether it was the banquet last night or the competition just now, it was the same.

Could it be that he mistakenly thought that Zun Zun was a girl and wanted to express his true feelings...!
——Sato Kazuma wanted to stop Prince Levi from confessing his feelings. After all, Zun Zun was the kind of person who would take off his pants if he disagreed with something. If he caused Prince Levi's disgust, the negotiations might fail.

"Wait a minute, Prince Levi, actually Zun Zun is——"

“I’m a fan of Zun Zun!”

"——What!?" X3
This time all three of them were stunned.

Prince Levi seemed to have finally broken free from his shackles, and said with a relaxed look, "Actually, after hearing your name, I really wanted to talk to you, but the timing was never right. Now I finally have a chance to have a good chat."

"No, not...that..."

This time, Zun Zun has no idea what to do.

He never imagined that the prince of the neighboring country was actually his little fanboy. No wonder he always stared at him at the banquet.

Sato Kazuma was also very strange.

"Wait a minute, why does Prince Levi know Zun Zun's name?"

"Well... because of the Prime Minister?"

"what?"

"At first, the Prime Minister often mentioned Zun Zun's name, such as intercepting the Mobile Fortress Destroyer, defeating the Headless Knight, the Clairvoyant Demon, the Toxic Slime, the Synthetic Beast, and recently defeating the Evil God... And every time the Prime Minister would talk about it for several days, and said that he would always pay attention to whoever ordered him. Over time, I became interested, and after some investigation, I felt that Zun Zun was really powerful..."

Prince Levi's eyes lit up as if he had seen an idol.

"I see, that's how it is, huh... Hey, wait a minute, I'm the one who intercepted the Mobile Fortress Destroyer, not Zun-Zun!"

"Ah, really?"

"Hey! Don't act like it doesn't matter!"

Sato Kazuma thought that Prince Levi would look at him with admiration, but he didn't expect that the other party was not interested at all, which immediately made him feel extremely frustrated.
