The legend of the Crimson Demon clan started from Suqing

"Delicious! Really delicious! This is the best thing I've eaten since regaining my sense of taste! ... No, I should say it's the best thing I've ever eaten in my life, including my past life!"

"...That's an exaggeration."

A child of about 13 or 14 years old, who looks like a cute girl but is actually a boy—Rimuru keeps stuffing potato chips into his mouth, and Treyni is doing the same.

If Zunzun hadn't seen this and made a lot more to replenish them, the two of them might have fought over the potato chips.

It's no wonder Rimuru is exaggerating.

The story of his life is truly tear-jerking and sorrowful.

Ever since he reincarnated as a slime monster, he had no senses, including taste, until he devoured a Otherworlder named 'Shizu,' allowing him to transform into his current form.

After gaining his sense of taste in this form, he thought he could enjoy a delicious meal, but the person who cooks for him every day, Shion, makes food that can only be described as deadly cuisine.

"So, do you understand how excited I am to eat such delicious food, especially when it's a snack like potato chips?"

"...I can see that."

The recipe for the potato chips was learned from Kazuma Satou.

When they went to the casino country of Elroad, Kazuma Satou made potato chips to show off his skills and make some delicious snacks, which were praised by everyone.

Zunzun used magic to simplify the complicated production process... no, to make it even more complicated?

"Ugh, ugh, ugh!"

"Rimuru-sama, please have some tea!"

Probably because he was eating too enthusiastically, Rimuru kept patting his chest as if he was choking, and Treyni quickly handed him a cup of herbal tea. After taking a sip of the tea, Rimuru looked relieved.

It's completely incomprehensible how a slime could choke, especially on potato chips. Seeing him acting so silly, Zunzun felt a little relieved.

"What a pity, it's really a pity!"

Rimuru thumped his chest and said regretfully as he patted the stone slab, "Why isn't there any cola! Normally, junk food should be paired with drinks! Especially potato chips, tea is too weird!"

"I understand, I understand!"

Zunzun really understood!

"What!?"

Hearing Zunzun's mutter, Rimuru opened his mouth in surprise, and he quickly asked loudly, "Really, can you make it!?"

"Yes, a simplified version is no problem."

Zunzun snapped his fingers.

Thanks to a certain leek-headed male protagonist, he was once very interested in hand-making cola. For that stone world without technology, how to inject carbon dioxide into water was the biggest problem, but for Zunzun, who knows magic, it's easy.

"That's great!"

Rimuru made a gorgeous turn and turned into a slime, bouncing into Zunzun's arms.

"Let's go now, to my village!"

"...Is that okay? Is Rimuru finally willing to let me go?"

"Huh?"

"Hey, hey, hey, you don't think I didn't notice your little test just now, do you? The Kurenai are a group of very intelligent people, I can see through this little trick. And Rimuru, your social skills are too weak, more than one level worse than my knight (Erica)."

"E-Exposed?"

Zunzun looked at the slime dripping with cold sweat amusingly.

From the moment they met, he kept saying that he was a harmless slime, showing that he had no malice or hostility, and then he said a lot about Shion, Benimaru, and others, intentionally guiding them to think that they were all good people, so that Zunzun would be curious about the village instead of hostile.

Because Rimuru had asked Great Sage the moment he met Zunzun, what is the probability of defeating him?

And the answer he got was, 0!

Absolutely impossible!

[Answer, the probability of exposure is 100%]

"You don't need to answer that! ...Ah, sorry, I didn't mean that!"

Rimuru suddenly shouted, he probably argued with his skill for a while.

"T-That..."

"It's okay. After all, I have nowhere else to go."

"Really!? That's great! Now we can drink cola!"

"...Are you more concerned about drinking cola than the safety of the village?"

Zunzun smiled.

He liked this kind of development.

That's right, regardless of any interests, people who meet the eye and get along can become good friends! He and Ikki Kurogane, Yosuke Shima, and Godou Kusanagi are all like this.

"But I'm still a little curious, Rimuru, aren't you afraid of me?"

"Not at all. Treyni said you have no malice."

"Yes, as a Dryad of the highest order, I can say that. Your magic is vast and powerful, but there is no malice."

As expected, she can sense the aura of magic.

After that, the three of them walked towards the town built by Rimuru, and the terrain was no longer the same, no, it should be said that the trees took the initiative to give way.

"Speaking of which, I haven't introduced myself yet."

Zunzun said to the ice-cold slime in his arms, "My name is Zunzun, and I'm from another world. Probably like you, Rimuru. As for my name in my previous life... forget it, just call me Zunzun."

After that, he said that he had actually transmigrated to Konosuba, and then he was transferred to this world by chance.

"I see, you're a visitor from another world."

Rimuru nodded.

This world is not so repulsive and rare to people from other worlds, and even the acceptance is higher than Konosuba.

"You are a person who crossed the world with your physical body, and you don't even have a summoning medium... Zunzun, you are actually amazing!? Right! I remember that visitors from other worlds will gain special abilities when they cross over, you also gained abilities, what are they like?"

"...Oh, that voice is talking about this."

Zunzun suddenly realized.

He actually heard some strange voices when he crossed over, but he didn't care and didn't pay attention to them at the time, he just thought it was what Aqua and the others said. Now it seems that it's not like that.

"T-That... sorry, this should be about your secret, you don't have to answer."

"It's okay, it's okay. Yes, when crossing the world, I seem to have gained two skills, if I remember correctly, it should be Campione and Verethragna."

"Verethragna?"

[Answer, Ultimate Skill]

"...Huh, that's it?"

Rimuru sighed that Great Sage could answer his doubts, and on the other hand, he wanted to say why there was only so little, shouldn't he say some more in-depth information?

This is the first time that Great Sage, who seems to know everything, has only revealed so little information.

"But it's really strange."

"Strange?"

"Look, Verethragna was obviously killed by me, and then I became Campione, but now it has become a skill... Although the power has increased a lot, is the causal relationship wrong? Also, didn't I also defeat the Monkey King, why didn't I get any special skills related to him?"

...Huh?

Rimuru's body froze.

He just realized that he seemed to have missed some important information.

What the hell is Campione? Is Verethragna the god of war in mythology? Could the Monkey King be that Great Sage? Zunzun actually became Campione after defeating them?

Great Sage, say something!?

Silence filled Rimuru's mind, Great Sage seemed to have crashed and didn't know how to speak.

In the end, he asked tremblingly, "T-That... Zunzun, let me ask, the Campione you said, is it after killing two gods, that..."

"No, no, no, it's not that exaggerated. Actually, I accidentally usurped their authorities, it's not something to be proud of."

How is that not something to be proud of!?

Those are gods!

"But for me, my strength has not improved significantly."

Zunzun said with a smile, "The only thing that surprised me a little is that I can weave a Word of Power Sword."

"Word of Power Sword?"

[Answer, using the power of words, using words such as praise, proclamation, belittlement, and rebuke, to tell the enemy's origin and fuse them into a sharp blade, when it reaches a certain level, it will seal or even defeat the enemy's specific abilities]

"So powerful!? ...By the way, Great Sage, you didn't crash."

Rimuru rarely expressed dissatisfaction with Great Sage, but Great Sage did not respond at all, and fell silent again, leaving him with nowhere to vent his anger.

Then, with a hint of humility.

"Zunzun, you can also weave my Word of Power, right?"

"...Don't worry, Rimuru, I won't use it on you."

"You can still do it after all!"

Rimuru trembled in fear at Zunzun's evasive remarks. Even Great Sage had no way to resist, it seems that the ultimate skill of this King of Victory is terribly strong.

Fortunately, they became friends.

Rimuru was only depressed for a while, and then became lively and cheerful again. His carefree appearance made people wonder if he could be a qualified leader, but for Zunzun, this kind of personality is the most relaxing and pleasant.

Soon, the three walked out of the forest.

Standing on a slightly high hillside, looking down, you can see a small town, and there are still many people rebuilding and expanding the town.

"Rimuru-sama—"

At this time, a shout came from behind the three of them, and when they turned around, they saw a combination of two women and one man.

Rimuru also greeted them happily, "Benimaru! Shuna! Shion! You—"

"Rimuru-sama actually ran away secretly, it's too much!"

"What does it mean to not bring a guard!"

Shuna and Shion were pulling Rimuru, if he wasn't a slime, he would have been split in half. Of course, he doesn't look very good now either.

Benimaru greeted Zunzun respectfully.

This is the treatment that a Special S-class powerhouse deserves.

"It's okay, it's okay, don't worry. Zunzun is not a bad person, but my friend!" Rimuru turned into a slime, jumped out of the arms of the two, "There will be a banquet tonight!"

He turned his back to the town, turned back into a human, and then reached out to Zunzun.

"Welcome to my town!"
