The legend of the Crimson Demon clan started from Suqing.

Chapter 528 Nightclub
Actually, the reason why Rimuru was called here was not only to discuss trade matters, but also to inquire about the affairs of the Beast Kingdom.

The Dwarf King probably didn't expect that the arrogant Karion would choose to form an alliance with Rimuru and use rare fruits as trade goods.

Obviously if this continues, Rimuru's town will become a trade center, which will further strengthen the Dwarf King's determination to establish a trade with him.

After a night.

Today is the day to publicly announce the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two kingdoms.

Rimuru and the Dwarf King remained calm, Shuna and Shion were also fine, and Zun Zun, who didn't drink, had no hangover. Only Drufu couldn't control his emotions after getting the teleportation magic scroll, and got drunk and lay in bed unable to get up.

Is it really okay for the king's secretary to be the head of the secret forces?
Then came the speech session.

The dwarf king looked calm, and told his ministers his thoughts and beautiful vision with the demeanor of a king. He gave the most realistic assurance in a calm tone, which won a lot of applause.

On the other hand, Rimuru seemed much inferior and was given a big X by the Dwarf King.

The time is short, too modest, too pretentious.

Perhaps it was because he had no experience, or perhaps because he had different ideas, Rimuru chose to appeal to their emotions and reason, hoping to move them with his words.

This method is not bad, but it always lacks some flavor and decisiveness.

When Zun Zun was giving his speech on "Re:Zero", he never said anything to encourage ordinary people. He just reported his own progress and future plans. Putting the facts before people naturally won applause.

Therefore, both he and the Dwarf King made it clear that it is a taboo to govern the country with naive ideas of making big promises.

“Perhaps because Rimuru was a corporate slave in his previous life, he subconsciously used the pie-in-the-sky approach.”

"...What do you care about me?"

Even though Rimuru didn't want to admit it, that was the fact, and he showed a look of shame and anger when the rumor was exposed.

And so the ceremony ended.

What remained were some trivial council matters, which were handed over to Shuna to manage, while Zun Zun, together with Druuf and Rimuru, taught teleportation magic to the elite mages selected by the Dwarf King.

Zun Zun was not very good at teaching people, and he thought it would be very troublesome. Unexpectedly, these magicians were all talented. After he drew the magic circle and explained it, they understood it basically.

Right.

After all, they are all teleportation magic. Although the effects are different, the essence should be the same.

They learned it in two or three days.

Rimuru also... no, to be more precise, it was the Great Sage who learned it.

As there were many things to do, it would take a few more days, leaving Zun Zun and the others with nothing to do. Dhruv offered to be their guide and take them on a tour of the palace.

Rimuru also suggested some places he particularly wanted to see.

For several days.

They were all visiting various places of interest in the Dwarf Kingdom, including manufacturing workshops, large-scale transmission equipment, and air-conditioning management areas in large underground caves.

"Such facilities should not be accessible to non-relevant personnel, right?"

"Hahaha. Generally speaking, that's true, but our relationship is special. You already know the more important secrets, so it's useless to hide them now."

Dhruv laughed heartily.

He was simply saying that these were all brought by Zun Zun, and Rimuru was moved and asked the three dwarf brothers to bring these technologies back to the town as soon as possible.

A few days passed.

We have visited most of the places that should be visited.

Zun Zun felt that there was no point in staying here anymore, so he told Rimuru that he was going to go back first. But Rimuru stopped him and said in a sneaky way that he would take him out to see the world tonight.

And in the evening.

Just when Zun Zun was about to go to sleep, Rimuru came in from under the door like a pool of slime... no, he was the slime.

“Rimuru?”

"Shh-"

He changed his slime appearance into his hands, made a gesture of silence, then gently pushed open the window, motioning Zun Zun to go out with him.

I have no idea why he's being so sneaky.

But he had no choice but to go out with Rimuru because of his request.

In addition to him, Gobda and the others were also there, all of them were very excited. But when asked, they were deliberately vague and didn't tell me, trying to keep some big secret.

Soon, we arrived at a store.

"——Night Butterfly?"

Zun Zun raised his head and whispered the name of the store. The store was full of pink neon lights and there were some sweet giggles coming from the store. When he saw the wanton smirk on Rimuru's face, he immediately knew what kind of store this was.

“Rimuru, you might get chopped.”

"Don't say such scary things! It's okay! I left a clone in the room beforehand, so even if Shuna and Shion go there, they won't be able to find it!"

Although he was giving convincing reasons, there was a lot of slime juice flowing through his body.

If you are so scared, why did you sneak out?

“Alright, alright, forget about that!” Rimuru pushed Zun Zun, “It’s my treat tonight, just enjoy yourself!”

I can understand that this guy wants to thank me, but could he use a more peaceful approach? What is the point of coming to a place like this?
Or do you want to find someone to take the blame?

Two fists are no match for four hands, not to mention that there are more than four hands outside. Surrounded by Rimuru and Gobda, Zun Zun had no choice but to walk into the store.

"Welcome————"
As soon as the door opened, many female voices were heard.

"Long time no see, how are you?"

"Okay. Mama-san, I hope you guys are doing well too." Rimuru greeted the woman who looked like the mother of the store with ease, and jumped up and down to her chest.

"Of course, your friend has arrived."

Today's place was reserved by Rimuru, and the friends she mentioned were Kaikin and others. Led by Mama-san, they walked into the store, and as expected, Kaikin and others were surrounded by beauties and looked very happy.

"Master Rimuru, this is indeed heaven!"

"Thank you for inviting me here today, Lord Rimuru."

"Mr. Kaido has taken good care of me, and this is nothing but a token of my gratitude. Kaijin will be leaving with us soon, so you two should take this opportunity to chat more."

Rimuru waved his hand casually, Kaikin was still the same, and the three brothers were having a lot of fun.

At this time, Dold took out the gift he had prepared, but was scolded by Rimuru and others for running away. However, this method did not work because many girls surrounded Zun Zun.

Beauty is justice.

"…Sorry, Dold, I accidentally ruined your plan."

"No, don't look at me with such sympathy!"

He cried and his tears kept flowing.

Having said that, the girls were also very happy with the gifts this guy gave them, and they received a lot of admiring looks, which made him feel that his preparations were not in vain.

Zun Zun was sandwiched between two girls who were older than Youyou. They fed him and urged him to drink from time to time... Unfortunately, he couldn't drink.

Even if he became a God Slayer and had an amazing physique, he was still not immune to alcohol.

Kaijin and Rimuru laughed at them for being just children, and the price of their laughter was three big lumps appearing on their heads.

Rimuru came to this shop not only for pleasure, but also to listen to the speeches of the people of the Dwarf Kingdom themselves, and the response he got was very sincere and wonderful.

This is the difference in perception.

Some people thought that the Dwarf King's speech was good, and naturally some people thought that Rimuru's speech was good. When Rimuru heard the other party say this, he was genuinely happy and thought that the other party did not treat it as a daydream.

And so they spent a pleasant evening.

This store is not that kind of store. It should be said that this store is more of a place for people to persuade others to drink and chat with them to relieve boredom, so Zun Zun went from being worried in the beginning to being relaxed in the end.

Soon it was late at night.

"It's almost time to go."

"That's right. Staying too long will cause trouble for others."

"Hey, are you leaving now?"

Upon hearing that Rimuru was planning to leave, Mama-san was somewhat reluctant to let him go. After all, he was generous, rich, and well-spoken, and besides, he was of a distinguished status, so he was naturally a big client.

And Rimuru had to go back.

Even if he left behind a clone, he would still die miserably if his trick was exposed - he didn't know if it was an illusion, but Zun Zun had been looking at him with a half-smile from the beginning, and that look seemed to say: I'm waiting to see the show.

"Hey, Zun Zun, you didn't tell Shucai, did you? ... No, no, no, you didn't even know you were coming here, it's unlikely."

Before he could finish, Rimuru shook his head, but he didn't understand why Zun Zun had that expression.

"Of course I didn't say it, but I can guarantee that Shuna must have known it."

"Why!?"

"Because I saw the magic of Shuna and Shion with my own eyes."

“W-What did you say…!?”

Rimuru’s entire body froze, as if he had consumed too much magic power to name his subordinates and turned into a metal slime.

"May I ask, when did you see it?"

"When you threw yourself on Mama-san's chest and yelled: This is what I like!... At that moment, Shuna's magic power couldn't help but burst out."

[Answer: The probability of Shuna appearing is 100%]

"————!?"

As if to extinguish Rimuru's last hope, the Great Sage spoke these words coldly, causing it to open its mouth unconsciously.

"But, but how did they know..."

“I told you.”

"……Um?"

"Shunai-sama asked us where we were going, and I told him everything."

“What did you say——”

Except for Zun Zun, they were all frightened, their faces were pale and they looked panic-stricken.

"Hey, hey, hey, you really told me everything?"

"Is this true? Gobjie, look what you have done!"

"You are...finished, dead."

They kept condemning the big goblin who was sitting next to Gobda and didn't look very smart. This guy was the one who leaked the information.

But in the end, we have to face reality.

These guys walked out of the door as if they had lost their parents, and in the face of Shuna and Shion's furious expressions, they repeatedly apologized to the two of them in tears at the entrance of the nightclub.

As an innocent person who was pulled over, Zun Zun was the only one who was not scolded.
