The legend of the Crimson Demon clan started from Suqing

A burst of noisy commotion arose.

When Zun Zun awoke, he was lying stiffly in a cage.

In the corner of the cage was the idiot goddess Aqua, hugging her knees with a hollow look in her eyes, doubting her life, while he felt a softness behind his head.

Could it be…

He looked up, and it wasn't the roundness of the sky he couldn't see, but a sheer cliff and a delicate chin.

"Oh, it's Hui Hui…"

"What, did you think it was Yoyo? If you have something to say, say it, I'm all ears!"

"It's great that it's really Hui Hui!"

From the bottom of his heart, Zun Zun immediately rolled over, rubbing his face constantly on Hui Hui's legs, smelling that familiar scent.

Although not as soft as Yoyo's, it was also very elastic, and the texture was quite excellent.

"Wa-wait…"

Hui Hui gently pushed his head away, making a gesture of refusal, but in the end, she didn't push him away, instead touching Zun Zun's head with her hand.

"You're such a cuddlebug."

Huh?

What's going on, why is my heart beating so fast?

Zun Zun suddenly felt a little embarrassed and propped himself up to sit.

"So, what exactly happened? And what's wrong with Aqua?"

His memory stopped after being in the water by the giant wave, and he couldn't remember anything, like Crimson King's time deletion, making him very uncomfortable.

"Actually…"

Hui Hui told him what happened afterward.

Sure enough, when he saw that giant wave, he knew Aqua had done it, but he didn't expect such a big chain reaction to occur; the idiot goddess's destructive power was extremely strong.

"So, what's going on now?"

Zun Zun looked outside the cage.

Darkness and Yoyo were on either side of the cage, Kazuma Sato was in front pulling the carriage, and in front of him was a black-haired boy in armor with a magic sword at his waist.

It was none other than Kyouya Mitsurugi.

"Huh, how is he…"

Zun Zun was stunned for a moment before quickly realizing.

Because the Dullahan had occupied the castle, the guild had no choice but to summon high-level adventurers from the royal capital, and Kyouya Mitsurugi was clearly one of them, but he didn't expect him to come back so quickly.

"Kazuma Sato!"

Kyouya Mitsurugi impolitely pointed at Kazuma Sato and shouted, "Imprisoning the goddess is one thing, but you even locked Zun Zun in a cage… Unforgivable!"

He seemed very agitated.

"Hey, why are you so agitated? It's not like I forced her to squat in the cage."

Kazuma Sato shouted unhappily.

It could only be said that the idiot goddess was purely reaping what she sowed; it had nothing to do with him.

Rather, he was also a victim.

"Letting Lady Aqua sleep in the stable is one thing, but you even let Zun Zun drown… You bastard… You bastard…!"

Kyouya Mitsurugi's hand gripping Kazuma Sato's collar tightened.

"What do you want!"

Kazuma Sato also had something to say; if he had a powerful artifact like the magic sword, would he have to suffer in the stable with the idiot goddess?

"You have the good-looking Crusader, and you also monopolize the goddess and Zun Zun… It's enviable!"

"Hey, your true feelings are showing."

Kyouya Mitsurugi was indeed qualified to be angry; after all, he had suffered a lot to gather enough companions, such as going to the Crimson Demon Village to be tormented by chuunibyou, going to Alcanretia to be entangled by Cecily, and so on…

The most infuriating thing was that he had suffered so much but not a single companion had joined him.

Perhaps in his eyes, Kazuma Sato, an ordinary adventurer, had done nothing, yet five high-level classes had joined his party, causing him to lose his composure.

However, these people—

Aqua, Darkness, and Hui Hui included, were all gold on the outside but rotten on the inside.

"Kazuma Sato, do you think you're an adventurer?"

"I think I am."

"I see, I understand."

Kyouya Mitsurugi, as if he had finally understood the truth of the world, said, "In that case, how about we compete? If I win, you give me Aqua and Zun Zun; if you win, I can promise you one thing, anything."

As expected, it turned out like this.

The news that Kyouya Mitsurugi and Kazuma Sato were going to duel quickly spread throughout the town, and many people came running to see.

"What, Mitsurugi is going to duel?"

"With Kazuma? How did they clash?"

"It's over there, hurry!"

In the blink of an eye, the adventurers surrounded them.

Kazuma Sato was a little flustered and muttered, "Hey, hey, why are so many people gathering?"

According to his idea, he should have launched a sneak attack while Kyouya Mitsurugi hadn't reacted, but he didn't expect the crowd to gather so quickly, leaving him no chance to make small moves.

"Come on, everyone, come and place your bets!"

Zun Zun was using the floor of the cage as a counter, constantly shouting for the gathered adventurers to place their bets, while the idiot goddess Aqua also woke up from her disappointment and assisted Zun Zun.

Darkness, covered in sweat and panting, said, "Zun, Zun Zun, I've already called the guild and the others on the street over."

"Thank you for your hard work, take a break."

That's right, all of this was done by Zun Zun.

He had already guessed that Kyouya Mitsurugi would duel with Kazuma Sato, so he had Yoyo call the adventurers over first, and then opened the betting.

"Everyone, everyone, Kyouya Mitsurugi 1.1, Kazuma Sato 1.5, hurry up, don't miss out!"

"Come and place your bets! Flowers, birds, wind, and moon!"

Aqua was constantly attracting passersby on the street with her party skills. Originally, she didn't want to join, but when Zun Zun tempted her with 20% of the net profit, she agreed to help without thinking.

Money can not only make a devil turn a millstone, but it can also make a goddess perform talents.

These two guys…!

Kazuma Sato, who was on the side, gnashed his teeth in anger upon seeing this, and immediately stated that he would ask them for performance fees and splits afterward.

Kazuma Sato and Kyouya Mitsurugi faced each other from afar, surrounded by adventurers, who pointed and commented on the two protagonists who were about to duel.

"Hey, who did you bet on?"

"Is there even a question? Of course, it's Mitsurugi!"

"Coincidentally, I also bet on Mitsurugi."

"Heh heh heh, although Kazuma is a bit clever, I really can't imagine how he can win against Mitsurugi."

"That's right, that's right, Kazuma is very good, but he can only play small tricks."

"Zun Zun still doesn't understand; he's completely doing charity."

Everyone was pessimistic about Kazuma Sato, but that was one thing, and they also constantly belittled him afterward, making Kazuma Sato feel the unfairness of life.

A shout came from afar.

"Kazuma—!"

"Zun, Zun Zun? Could it be that at this time, you're going to comfort me?"

"That's right—! Kazuma, focus on the duel; don't let others affect your mood; just treat them like they're scolding a dumb dog!"

This guy… I thought he was here to comfort me, but he turned out to be messing with my mentality.

Kyouya Mitsurugi, seeing this, mocked, "Looks like you're not very popular either."

"Mind your own business!"

Kazuma Sato retorted, but in the eyes of outsiders, he was just putting on a brave face.

"Alright, let's begin…"

"Steal————!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Kazuma Sato started with zero frames, using the most despicable, shameless, and low-down Steal skill.

Bright light flashed in everyone's eyes, Kyouya Mitsurugi adopted a defensive posture, and when the light dissipated, the magic sword in his hand had disappeared, and instead appeared in Kazuma Sato's hand.

"Eh… Eh! ! !?" xN

The onlookers let out some stupid exclamations, and Kyouya Mitsurugi also stared blankly at his empty hands.

Kazuma Sato would not waste such a good opportunity; he slammed the heavy magic sword in his hand hard on his opponent's head, and Kyouya Mitsurugi lay on the ground with his eyes rolled back, looking quite ridiculous.

"H-how could this be…"

"Mitsurugi actually lost! ?"

"He even lost to Kazuma! ?"

The onlookers shouted continuously.

Kazuma Sato couldn't stand it and shouted, "The last one, what do you mean?"

Many people still couldn't accept it and shouted at Zun Zun and Aqua, who were squatting in the cage, making them helpless.

"It's a fixed match, it must be a fixed match!"

"RNM, refund!"

"I can't admit it, I absolutely don't admit it!"

However, Zun Zun didn't care about these things; the facts were in front of them, and even if they didn't admit it, it wouldn't work.

On the other side, Kazuma Sato scared away Kyouya Mitsurugi's two companions with his Expense skill and also obtained a magic sword that could increase arm strength and cut through everything—Note: Only Kyouya Mitsurugi can use it.

He gained victory with despicable tactics, scared away girls with grotesque methods, and proclaimed himself a true advocate of gender equality, even using flying kicks on girls without hesitation.

From then on, Kazuma Sato's reputation for grotesqueness resounded throughout Axel.

And the people who had placed bets, seeing that things had become a foregone conclusion, couldn't do anything about Zun Zun and Aqua squatting in the cage, and they left very unwillingly.

"Hurry, hurry, let's see how much money we made!"

"I know you're anxious, but don't be anxious yet."

Zun Zun pushed the idiot goddess, who was like a happy dog, sticking out her tongue and pouncing on him; she even impatiently clung to Zun Zun's chest—because the money from the bets was all stored there.

"Hurry up! Hurry up!"

If you didn't know better, you'd think she had some kind of feelings for Zun Zun.

"Wait, you two!"

Kazuma Sato, carrying the magic sword, walked over and said, "I also want a share! It's too much to use me as a betting chip! And you two are the ones who caused this situation! I want compensation for mental damage!"

"No problem, Kazuma, you have a share too."

Zun Zun was not stingy with this great contributor, and he gave a thumbs up and said, "It's all thanks to Kazuma being despicable and scum enough; no one believed you could win, and we made a fortune because of it!"

"Heh heh heh, I'll take that as a compliment."

Kazuma Sato twitched his lips with a fake smile, but when he received a full 300,000 Eris split, his smile became more genuine.

Aqua also received a 200,000 split.

Thanks to the fact that it was the cabbage harvest festival a few days ago, the adventurers had some spare money in their hands, but they didn't expect it all to be used to make Zun Zun's wedding dress.

And the matter of Kazuma Sato defeating Kyouya Mitsurugi, who was ranked third in the kingdom, spread like wildfire and quickly reached the royal capital, and everyone asked in shock… Who is Kazuma Sato?
