The legend of the Crimson Demon clan started from Suqing.

Chapter 519 You little bastard... you're having a good time Liben Netizen

"Hey, let me ask you, do you want to call yourself the Demon King and try being the Demon King?"

On the way back, Milim suddenly said this, hugging Zun Zun's arm, as if she was acting like a spoiled child, as if good things would happen if she became a demon king.

"Demon King?" Rimuru, who was leading the way, was a little puzzled. "Why do you want to do something so troublesome?"

"Because... he's a demon king! He's very handsome! Generally speaking, everyone would admire him, right?"

"No way."

"……what?"

"Ok?"

The two people have very different thinking patterns and look at each other with uncommon opinions.

Milim's view of the Demon King is that he can play around and fight with experts, but Rimuru, who is originally a human who doesn't like to argue with others, is not interested in that kind of Demon King.

"No, no, no, I'm not asking you!"

Milim pouted her lips. She was obviously upset about being rejected, but she stubbornly changed the subject.

She looked at Zun Zun with tears in her eyes, as if she would cry if he didn't agree... It was definitely not because she had already gathered a large amount of magic power.

"Demon King... If I were to talk about the demon king, I would have already been one."

After all, the God Slayer is known as the Devil King, the Scourge, or something like that.

“Besides, even if I were a demon king, I wouldn’t be a demon king like you, Milim.”

Under their curious gaze, Zun Zun posed in a strange pose and said loudly: "I want to be the most benevolent, kind, supreme, and powerful Demon King! I am Zun Zun, one of the greatest magicians of the Red Demon Clan, and the strongest Red Demon Clan who will eventually become the Demon King!"

“Ohhhhh————”

"puff!"

Unlike Milim, whose eyes sparkled with excitement, Rimuru, who knew about the special effects drama, couldn't help laughing. However, he was not laughing at Zun Zun's determination to become a demon king, it was just that the action was a little too strange.

"It's a special effects drama, right?"

"That's right!"

Give each other a thumbs up.

This is a secret that only the two of them know, so they can enjoy it.

“Really? You’ve already been the Demon King?” Milim nodded in understanding and said, “That’s right. After all, you’ve already awakened, so you should be the Demon King. But it’s really strange. When did you awaken?”

"……what?"

"Hey, you've awakened, right? ...The Undefeated King Verethragna, this is the ultimate skill, right?"

The dragon eye that can see through everything.

By the way, which one is more powerful, her eyes or Vanir's clairvoyance?

It was probably Vanir, after all, the Grand Duke of Hell who liked to tease others and could even see people’s thoughts and future.

"I don't know. This skill was automatically acquired when I traveled to this world. Moreover, I already had this skill before I traveled through time. It's more like integration than strengthening. It can only serve as icing on the cake."

"……Really!?"

"it is true."

Milim fell silent afterwards.

It's really strange. This guy should be the energetic Husky type, a troublesome existence that will never stop making noise, but now he has become like this. Maybe there is really something hidden.

But that’s fine too.

Zun Zun and Rimuru looked at each other.

She's really too noisy, it would be nice if she could be quiet for a while, it's better to just ignore her for now.

And don't be fooled by Milim's carefree and heartless appearance. She actually has bad intentions. After all, if she claims to be a demon king without permission, she may be punished by other demon kings. To be more precise, if she cannot prove her strength, she will be excluded.

It’s not a problem for Zun Zun.

But now he is bound to Rimuru and does not want to bring any impact to him or the town.

And there is also the issue of territory.

If you want to become a demon king, you must have your own territory so that you can sit at the negotiation table. But Zun Zun is too lazy to do such a thing, so forget it.

After arriving in the town, Milim came to her senses. Before Zun Zun could ask her what was going on, she ran out to make a fuss. It took a long time to barely stop this guy and introduce her to everyone in the town.

The purpose is naturally to prevent anyone from bumping into her.

Milim was staying here temporarily as a guest, but according to her, she and Rimuru were close friends... In Zunzun's opinion, she was just saying that.

After the introductions, everyone moved to the restaurant.

No matter which world or kingdom, even the slimes are the same, of course the guests are entertained with banquets and feasts.

But it was noon now, and the banquet would have to wait until the evening, and preparations had to be made in advance.

"Oh right! Today is curry, right?!"

After arriving at the restaurant, Rimuru couldn't wait to ask Zun Zun this.

Zun Zun, who has lived in many different worlds such as "Sonoharu" and "Re:Zero", reproduced some convenient and familiar foods in this town at the request of Rimuru, including cane sugar, cola, bubble wine, mayonnaise, etc., which were well received.

"Well, I've asked Shuna to make the preparations. Wait a moment."

"I'm here to help!"

Zhu Cai's eyes lit up, and she obviously wanted to learn secretly under the guise of being an assistant, so Zun Zun naturally agreed.

Shion also wanted to go with him, but Rimuru was afraid that he would end up making a dark dish, so he acted coquettishly towards her and only then did he keep her.

Soon, the curry was served.

"Curry tastes good only after it has been cooked repeatedly. If I cook it again tomorrow morning..."

"one more bowl!"

“…Looks like there’s no chance.” In less than 10 seconds, Milim finished a large plate of curry. Because she didn’t expect this glutton to come, she was now worried about whether there would be enough for her to eat.

Except for Rimuru, no one else dared to pick up their chopsticks. It was only at the request of Zun Zun that everyone started to taste the food.

"tasty----"

“It’s so delicious!”

"Your Excellency's cooking skills are beyond compare!"

Naturally, I received a lot of praise.

Shuna doubted herself and said, "Why is that... I clearly copied the steps of the master step by step without making any mistakes, why is the taste so different..."

Yeah, I'm weird too.

Zun Zun took a bite of the delicious curry.

As expected, after making a huge pot of curry, almost 90% of it ended up in Milim’s stomach, which made everyone decide to cook more in the future.

After finishing the meal, Rimuru asked Zun Zun to make a cola drink, but Milim preferred honey to the choking carbonated drink.

Under Milim's seemingly request but actually a threat, Rimuru reluctantly gave her his treasured honey.

This is extremely rare and high-quality honey collected by the Kyoho honeymonkeys who came here for refuge not long ago. However, due to the need to make cola every day, the reserves have always been very small, and this time they were all looted.

Rimuru collapsed into a puddle again.

After eating and drinking, they asked Shuna and Shion to take Milim to take a bath, after all, Zun Zun had just fought with her... and had some fun.

After they left, Zun Zun was surrounded by people including Rimuru and others, who wanted to talk about what happened today while the other party was taking a shower.

There is nothing to hide.

Zun Zun told them everything.

“…I see. Are you targeting me?”

Rimuru trembled a little in fear.

Anyone would be scared if the real devil came to visit them.

So does everyone else.

"That being said, she at least made an appointment with me not to do anything without permission, so there shouldn't be a problem, right?"

Rimuru said this in a self-deceptive manner.

"Well... if I were to say I'm concerned, the attitudes of the other demon kings would be more worrying."

As Kaijin said this, Hongwan, Bai Lao and the others nodded.

"What do you mean?"

“Because there are several Demon Lords, they are restraining each other. This time, Rimuru-sama claimed that he and Milim-sama are friends, which means that this town is also protected by Demon Lord Milim. This kind of thing should be what we want…”

However, Rimuru is now the leader of the Great Forest. After forming an alliance with the Dwarf Kingdom, he also concludes an alliance with Milim. This will allow the Demon King Milim, who has never had any subordinates before, to increase her influence in one fell swoop, and the balance of power between the Demon Kings will collapse.

"By then, if we're not careful, this forest might be affected by the war."

"What!?"

Rimuru’s expression tensed.

Apparently, he did not realize that his actions would have such a huge impact on the forest, and this was the fundamental reason why Zun Zun was unwilling to become the Demon King.

“But seriously, there’s no way we can stop Demon Lord Milim, right?”

"That's true. That guy is so strong that we don't even have a chance of winning."

“——That’s right. Anyway, if I have to fight against other demon kings, I’d rather fight against them. Demon King Milim is simply a natural disaster.”

These are all true words.

But the more this happens, the more I understand the despair. Everyone looks like they have no choice but to give up.

"I can only leave it to you, Master."

“…Eh, me?”

Zun Zun pointed at himself.

He had been pretending to be invisible from the beginning, but he didn't expect to be affected in the end.
"Demon Lord Milim-sama is one of the strongest ancient demon kings. People say that they absolutely do not want to be an enemy of this demon king. But you, sama, are able to ride on her. Seeing your heroic figure, I am really excited."

"——It's useless to praise me! Mr. Bai, you just want to get rid of this hot potato, right?"

“Hahaha, who knows.”

Mr. Bai took a sip of Coke.

It always feels a bit weird to see old people drinking Coke.

“But I can only ask you, Master.” Benimaru said with an embarrassed look on his face, “Demon Lord Milim is too difficult to restrain. Once she takes action, the entire town, including Master Rimuru, will have no way to stop her.”

“But if it’s someone as powerful as Demon Lord Milim-sama, he will definitely be able to do what we can’t do!”

"...Sou Ying, I didn't expect you to be able to flatter me."

"You're joking."

Even Souei, who has always been expressionless and unusually cold, flatters Zun Zun, so you can imagine how much of a headache Milim is.

The one who dealt the final blow was Rimuru.

"Zun Zun, you don't want to see me die and unable to return home, do you?"

You, a Liben netizen who is living a good life, how come you understand so much?

"please!"

“…Yes, yes, I understand.”

Under Rimuru's tearful attack, Zun Zun had no choice but to take on the responsibility of taking care of Milim.
