The legend of the Crimson Demon clan started from Suqing.

Chapter 494: The Red Demon Chieftain or the Red Demon Chieftain’s Man
[My great people, the time that was to come has come. Now is the time to show the fangs that you have each polished and forged. As before, those who think they are the best, rush to the Red Devil's Village within a month of the letter.]

To summarize the contents of this letter, which is full of quibbles, what it says is that the test to decide the next chief of the Red Demon Clan is about to begin, and those who want to be the next chief are requested to return home.

“Meihui is always like this, it’s really too much!”

"It's not my fault. If you want to blame someone, blame the person who brought the challenge letter and the invitation letter together!"

Youyou and Huihui started arguing.

This letter should be delivered to every Red Demon member outside, asking those who have any thoughts about the Red Demon Chief to return within a month. Probably because Zun Zun and the other three were working together, only one letter was delivered.

It’s true that Huihui can’t be blamed, since she has a criminal record.
When the Demon King's army cadre Silvia invaded the Crimson Demon Village, that guy put his novel and the Crimson Demon Chief's letter together, causing a huge misunderstanding among everyone.

“I know, Huihui, you did it on purpose!”

"……what?"

“Look! If you want to accept the test from the Crimson Demon Chief, you must at least learn advanced magic and teleportation magic. But, Huihui, you only know Explosion magic, and you haven’t learned teleportation magic at all. That’s why you are not qualified to accept the test… It hurts, don’t hold me so hard!”

Youyou covered her aching chest.

indeed.

It says that the requirement to become a candidate for the Crimson Demon Clan leader is to learn advanced magic and teleportation, and it is clear that Huihui is not qualified.

But if you say that it was to hinder Youyou, then you really underestimate her.

"Yes, I did it on purpose!"

...I take back what I said.

Huihui said as a matter of course: "Because I was worried that after you became the leader of the Crimson Demon Clan, you would use your position as a superior to do bad things to Zun Zun, so I deliberately didn't tell you... Kazuma once told me what this is called, workplace harassment, right?"

"Wait, wait a minute, that's not what I meant! Zun Zun, your eyes are so cold, I didn't mean to do that, I didn't teach her any nonsense, she came to ask me how to seduce a man without my permission...Ahhh!"

Sato Kazuma was hit hard in the abdomen.

As he groaned in pain, Youyou slammed the table and shouted in dissatisfaction: "What nonsense are you talking about! Zunzun and I are an engaged couple, how can there be any harassment!"

"You haven't even gotten married yet, it's harassment!"

"Where are you from, a pure girl?!"

Youyou was so angry at Huihui's completely perverse remarks that she started to wonder if their personalities had been swapped. Besides, she was obviously the legal fiancée, so how did she become a bad woman who harassed people at work?

"You two, stop arguing for now."

Darkness separated the two excited people.

Although she had no right to intervene, this matter should be their family affair, and it was not wrong to favor either side, but it would not be good if the relationship between the team members became strained.

However, her worries were undoubtedly in vain.

Zun Zun also said that he was just a part of their play, a good friend who became closer the more they quarreled. If the relationship really became strained, he would stop it in time.

"I said, there seems to be some conditions above."

Aqua waved the letter in her hand.

"——In addition, if you want to participate in the trial of the Crimson Demon Chief, you must bring your closest friend with you, and support each other to overcome the difficulties together... In other words, you need to bring a partner, and the two of you must take the test together?"

"That's right."

Zun Zun nodded. He had known about this kind of thing a long time ago. After all, he was the one who claimed to be the strongest in the Red Demon Clan.

"I heard that in the past, most of the time, the Crimson Demon magicians served as defenders, and the foreign adventurer swordsmen served as forwards..."

Yes, that’s right, only this is romantic.

"However, what can I say? After all, the Crimson Demons are very strong. As long as there are two Crimson Demons, even if there is no forward striker or anything, they can break through the test by crushing with firepower alone. Later, everyone noticed this."

"——The Crimson Demons are so unromantic."

"Feel the same."

Sato Kazuma's complaints were recognized by Zun Zun.

Although we can just rush through it with our current strength, the development of things like the bond between companions, becoming closer during the adventure, and working together to overcome difficulties are also very exciting.

"I see. Then I will team up with Zun Zun."

Huihui finalized it without authorization.

Seeing that she did not meet the requirements to become a candidate for clan leader, she decided to lend a helping hand to Zun Zun so that he could become the next clan leader.

“Meihui, are you serious!?”

However, some people disagree.

"Youyou, if you have any opinions, just say it. But after this, I will use explosion magic to let you see if I am qualified or not!"

“I admit that Huihui’s explosion magic is powerful, but after you use it once, it will just be a burden. There are three tests!”

"Well!"

Yunyun's words were so venomous that Huihui froze. But she didn't expect that she still didn't give up.

"No, it's okay. Zun Zun is very strong. He can pass the level successfully even if he drags me."

"Stop joking, okay!?"

The ideal situation is that at the third level, Huihui uses explosion magic to overcome the difficulties, and then she doesn't have to worry about being tired or not.

In addition, Zun Zun is a powerful Crimson Demon after all, so it won't be a problem even if he brings Hui Hui with him.
Of course, this is generally the case. "The Crimson Demon Clan's chieftainship tests are different every year. The chieftainship tests my father arranged for me when I was a child were never repeated."

"Youyou, you actually cheated! I knew that your identity as the daughter of the Crimson Demon Clan gave you an advantage!"

"Are you listening to me? The patriarch's test will not be repeated!"

When she was a child, Youyou had always been under the guidance of the Red Demon Chief to break through the levels of past chiefs, and this has continued to this day.

The purpose, of course, is to allow Youyou to become the next leader of the Red Demon Clan.

"So...Zun Zun, team up with me."

"—Wait a minute, I don't agree!"

As expected, Huihui jumped out immediately.

She expressed her dissatisfaction strongly and said loudly: "It doesn't matter if I team up with you, Youyou, but I want to know who will be the leader? After all, there is only one person who can become the leader of the Red Demon Clan. Youyou, you won't give up, right?"

After all, from childhood to adulthood, he had been working hard to become the leader of the Red Demon Clan, and even often claimed that he would "become the leader of the Red Demon Clan one day!"

If he didn't become the leader of the Red Demon Clan in the end, it would be a big blow to Youyou.

"I have seriously considered this matter. I can just marry Zun Zun."

"……what?"

"Look. As long as Zun Zun marries me, who has become the leader of the Red Demon Clan, then all problems will be solved, right? After all, the leader is just a title, and the actual work must be done... It hurts, it hurts, it hurts, you can't use violence!"

"Who told you to always think positively? Why do you get all the benefits?"

Maybe it was because he said it too matter-of-factly, Huihui got a little angry and pulled Youyou’s ponytail.

One asked to be taken with him and insisted on becoming the next Red Demon Chief, while the other decided to become the Red Demon Chief but would marry Zun Zun.

Sato Kazuma touched his chin.

"Zunzun, what do you think?"

"As for me... Honestly speaking, no matter if it's the Crimson Demon Chieftain or the Crimson Demon Chieftain's men, they can actually accept it."

"I see, it doesn't matter. This is just like the big family of Li Ben, who doesn't choose to marry a wife, but is more keen on finding a strong and capable husband to marry into the family. In fact, you don't reject it, right?"

"……You can say that."

Although it was a little uncomfortable, he was not wrong.

If Youyou is regarded as a daughter of a wealthy family, then if Zunzun, who has great strength and excellent appearance, marries her, he can barely be considered a son-in-law.

This is very common in Liben.

It is precisely because of this that Sato Kazuma does not reject the idea of getting involved with Darkness. No, it is more like this guy is hoping for that to happen so that he can become a kept gigolo.

"But the position of Red Demon Patriarch is not a good one."

"Ok?"

"Because most of the Crimson Demons are very casual, so if you want to talk about it, no one wants to be the clan leader who is bound by various terms and has to bear responsibilities..."

Zun Zun doesn't want to be the patriarch either.

He had this idea before because Sister Tao Lao once said that it would be great if Zun Zun could become the clan leader, so he worked hard for it. But later his goal changed to the Demon King, so he put it aside for the time being.

"That Zun is..."

"I want Youyou to be the boss."

After all, the Red Demons were scattered, and if there was no one to serve as the chief, who knows what they would do. It was really disturbing to see those free-spirited tribesmen letting themselves go.

"In other words, if Youyou, who is common-sense and serious, like a good student and has the temperament of a class monitor, becomes the clan leader, he will be able to restrain those guys?"

"Yes."

Zun Zun nodded.

In fact, it’s not that he is incapable of being the leader of the Red Demons, but due to the effect of the crown, he often disappears inexplicably for a period of time.

If even the clan leader is so free and unrestrained, what can the people below do?
And Zun Zun also knew why Huihui did not agree to let Youyou become the patriarch, because if that happened, Youyou would naturally become husband and wife with Zun Zun, which she very much did not want to see.

As a result, this topic came to nothing due to the constant quarrels between the two.

late at night.

Due to time reasons, everyone plans to rush to the Red Devil's Village early tomorrow morning, so they will go to bed early tonight to get enough rest.

However, just when Zun Zun was about to fall asleep, there was a knock on his door.

"Zun Zun, are you asleep?"

"……No."

Then the door was pushed open, and Huihui, wearing light pink pajamas, walked in. Her first words after entering the door were.

"——Zun Zun, you and Youyou should team up."

look!

I knew that I was just a part of their play.
