The legend of the Crimson Demon clan started from Suqing.

Chapter 498: Saint Kai

"That's it. Huihui came to me last night and said: Just because it's difficult doesn't mean it can't be done. Just try more! I'm 15 now, and I'll have 35 years to go until I'm 20. I'll try every day!"

"not bad."

Unlike Sato Kazuma who was jealous beyond recognition, Juan Juan had an expression of being used to it, as if she had known that something like this would happen.

"Ms. Curly doesn't seem very surprised?"

“After all, when we were in school, Huihui and Youyou were Zunzun’s little wives.”

"Since that early!? Please tell me in detail."

For some reason, Sato Kazuma is particularly gossipy today.

So Juanjuan started talking about what happened in school. There was nothing shocking about it. It was just that the three of them farmed together, fought back when they encountered a demon, and decided to form a team together after graduation... and so on.

But there is very little information about Zun Zun, so this creates a problem.

"...You are the third party who interfered?"

"Don't say that, please."

Sato Kazuma probably also noticed that compared to the ordinary daily life of Zun Zun and the other two girls, the emotional entanglement of the other two girls was more eye-catching.

"Although I don't hate seeing yuri, it's a loss for humanity for two beautiful girls to be mixed together."

“… Kazuma?”

"Besides, aren't you childhood sweethearts? I'm very optimistic about you two!"

He said this with great momentum.

This guy seems to be supporting Zun Zun, but actually he sees his own shadow. He and his childhood sweetheart, who had promised to be together when they were young, got on the bicycle of the yellow-haired senior, and because of this he suffered a huge blow and became a otaku NEET.

So if it is Zun Zun, Hui Hui and You You, he will strongly support them.

"But Zun Zun has some health problems now."

"……what?"

Looking at Juanjuan with a melancholy face, Zun Zun felt a little strange and didn't understand why she was like that.

She said with a half-smile: "Didn't the club say they were going to form a harem? The news spread all over the village, and everyone is very motivated."

"Wait, wait a minute, this isn't a joke!?"

"...Who knows."

I learned from Juanjuan that, not to mention the others, they seemed to be very active and kept pushing the plan forward, and even seemed to have caused quite a stir in the village.

Always feeling that it would affect him, Zun Zun was smart enough not to ask about it.

As long as I don't know it didn't happen!
"Wait a moment." Sato Kazuma lowered his voice and said coolly, "Zun Zun is a member of our team. We still have the great wish to defeat the Demon King. We can't stay in the village as a stud."

"Are you trying to say that you want to take Zun Zun away?"

“No, I mean I don’t want to see my comrades suffer like this. But with the help of Kazuma, who has saved the kingdom many times, defeated several Demon King’s army leaders, and earned support funds from the alliance with neighboring countries, and has made a big splash on the front line, the progress should be faster. And I am ready to fight the population decline caused by the Demon King’s army to the end. So please don’t consider my feelings.”

"...Your line looks cool at first glance, but in the end it's all about making people, right?"

Juanjuan couldn't help but complain.

Sato Kazuma said that he wanted to do his best, but in fact he had been coveting the beautiful older sisters of the Crimson Demon Clan for a long time.

And just as he was being shamelessly denounced, the tavern suddenly became noisy.

Zun Zun looked around in confusion.

Then I saw a shocking scene.

At the staircase on the second floor, which served as a hotel, a man in full body armor appeared... No, there was no one in the armor, it was just a full body armor.

But what is even more surprising is that it can move around freely like a normal person, and even when it turns its head to look around, you can still feel its gaze.

Sato Kazuma had a complicated expression, as if there was some secret that he couldn't tell, but he also seemed to have thought of something, and finally sighed helplessly.

"Zun Zun, I know this guy. He is actually..."

[Let me introduce myself. My name is Aegis! As you can see, I am a full body armor, but please do not underestimate me. If you want to know why, it is because I am a divine weapon! The strongest, hardest divine weapon that can sing and dance! Saint Kai Aegis! ]

Before he could come to his senses, Saint Caius ran up to Zunzun with heavy steps and took his hand with great affection.

...What a deep affection.

Although it is an empty suit of armor, one can feel its gaze and emotions, and it can also directly transmit one's thoughts into other people's brains through telepathy, making people sigh that this is a divine weapon.

[It's sudden, but could you please put me on, miss? 】

"Wait...! Idiot!"

Sato Kazuma's face changed and he wanted to stop Saint Caius from talking nonsense, but it was too late.

"Oh? You actually called me Miss... hehe..."

Zun Zun's eyes glowed a terrifying red.

I don’t know whether Saint Caius couldn’t see because he had no eyes, or whether he was naturally thick-skinned, but he spoke to Sato Kazuma in a very casual manner.

[Brother! It's such a coincidence that we met in a place like this! Is this fate? We might really be a good match. If you were reincarnated as a beautiful girl, I would let you come in... But you obviously know such a beautiful girl, you should have introduced her to me before. Oh, oh, oh————]

Before he could finish, it started wailing. [It’s melting, it’s melting! My body is melting! Why is this happening? I’m a sacred object made of orichalcum, I should be immune to magic!]

Immune to magic, but not to powers.

Zun Zun only mobilized a little of the white horse's flames, and it burned it so much that it screamed and cried, and couldn't help but beg for mercy loudly.

[It’s so hot, so hot, so hot! Brother, please save me! ]

"Ugh……"

Sato Kazuma rolled his eyes. He really didn't want to help this guy who was harassing people so naturally, but considering that this guy had a divine weapon after all, and it was collected by the goddess Eris, he still helped to plead.

"Zun Zun, please let it go first."

"…I'll spare your life. Also, I'm a boy."

Zun Zun let go of his hand.

He also took into account that Saint Caius was a servant of the goddess Eris, and he should do something to receive such a great favor from the goddess Eris.

[Boy, boy...!? ]

Saint Caius looked at Zun Zun in amazement.

One could clearly feel its dumbfounded emotion, and just when Sato Kazuma wanted to stop Saint Caius from doing something stupid again, he didn't expect it to hold Zun Zun's hand again.

[If it's you, I would. ]

“——Are you serious!?”

Sato Kazuma was dumbfounded.

When he and Chris went to steal Saint Caius, he knew how willful this guy was. He said something like "I want to find the beautiful mistress this time" and refused to be taken away. He even shouted and sounded the alarm.

Finally, during the Goddess Festival, the goddess Eris personally stepped in to completely subdue it. As a result, Sato Kazuma learned the true identity of Chris.

"...I see. This happened while I was away again."

"That's it. Chris was going to look for you, but since you weren't here, I had to do it for you. I suffered a lot that time."

Sato Kazuma simply told Zun Zun about what happened between him and Chris, and about stealing Saint Cai Aegis.

"So, why are you here? Weren't you taken away by Eris-sama?"

[Yes, yes, yes, listen to me, brother! My master is too much. She actually gave me to a sword master, and he is an annoying handsome guy! If I harass the girls who follow him, I will be scolded, so I ran away from home. ]

Equipment away from home.

This is the funniest thing Zun Zun has ever heard in his life.

"I know you ran away from home, but why did you come to the Crimson Devil's Village?"

[Because I felt that the person destined to be here would appear, I immediately rushed over. Sure enough, my premonition was right, you really appeared here. ]

"Hmm, so what's the real reason?"

It was obvious that Sato Kazuma didn't believe Saint Caius, who was full of dirty jokes and lies. Under the constant stare, Saint Caius spoke again very embarrassedly.

[…The biggest feature of the Crimson Devil Village is that it is full of powerful monsters. Yes, this is a test for that guy. I want to confirm whether he is worthy of being my man!]

"Guest, I remember you said something like, 'The Crimson Demon Village is just as rumored, full of beautiful ladies! I am a child of this family from today on!'"

[Miss, please don't say such unromantic words between gentlemen! ]

The lie was exposed again.

Saint Caius does not look like a divine weapon at all, and even Sato Kazuma may not be able to accept such a unique divine weapon.

【But I’m serious! 】

"what?"

[If it's you, I'm willing to be your magic weapon! Just use me as much as you want, and then become the strongest person in the world! ]

"…I'm sorry, I refuse."

【Why!?】

"Because I am the Grand Mage."

Upon hearing these words, Saint Caius first froze on the spot as if he had lost power, and then slumped down on the counter. Anyone could see how desperate he was at this moment.

Sato Kazuma was a little surprised and said, "What's wrong, Zunzun? With your physique, even a great magician can wear it, right? This is a divine weapon!"

"No. If it were ordinary armor, there would be no problem. Unfortunately, Saint Caius is made of orichalcum."

Faced with his even more strange look, Zun Zun gave an explanation helplessly.

"Orichalcum can hinder magic and skills, and a divine weapon made entirely of Orichalcum can probably negate any magic and skills. But at the same time, my magic and skills will also be hindered and weakened, so only professions such as sword masters or crusader knights can be worthy of it."

"Oh, I see……"

"I feel sorry for it, too. After all, if we only consider the value, Saint Caius is worth a whole city."

Zun Zun said this casually.

Then Sato Kazuma and Juanjuan used spoons to scratch the surface of Saint Caius' body.
