The legend of the Crimson Demon clan started from Suqing

When Zun Zun opened his eyes again, he found himself lying in the school infirmary.

And on the bed next to him was someone else.

It was You You.

According to Sister Kept-in-Stitches, You You had also encountered danger in the wild, and a little earlier than Zun Zun. Was that why Sister Kept-in-Stitches and Green Flower Coconut Butcher arrived a step late?

And how did You You get hurt too?

But considering she couldn't even bring herself to harm a seemingly weak and helpless horned rabbit, one could guess the reason for her injury.

Hearing the infirmary teacher say that You You was fine and would recover by tomorrow, Zun Zun breathed a sigh of relief.

As for the cherry that attacked him, Zun Zun asked the teacher, and the answer he got was similar to his guess.

The scientific name of the cherry was Vajra Cherry. As a high-grade, rare ingredient, they were naturally twins, able to condense magic power and then spread it out, using themselves as bombs.

Moreover, they were pure combat enthusiasts. Once mature, they would search the world for powerful beings, whether humans, dragons, or demons, and eat them if they won.

The teacher also said that after eating them, one could probably gain experience to increase by 5 levels.

…That's too exaggerated!

Welsh Onion Duck was already a relatively high-grade rare ingredient, only able to increase 2 levels of experience. Most importantly, the teacher said the 5 levels of experience were calculated according to the experience value of a Grand Sorcerer.

In "Subarashii," the higher the class, the more experience points were needed to level up, especially for a Grand Sorcerer.

Even so, Zun Zun wouldn't eat it.

Because his own magic power was emptied, and You You was also injured, they had no choice but to return home separately. The remaining ingredients could only be obtained next time or purchased directly from the pharmacy.

When he returned home, he found Mimi squatting at the door. When she saw Zun Zun, her eyes lit up and she shouted:

"You're back, Zun Zun Onii-chan!"

From the way she addressed him, he knew she was there to beg for food.

Mimi had two targets for begging for food, one was the older brother next door, Green Flower Coconut Butcher, and the other was also the older brother next door, Zun Zun.

No one could refuse the endearing Mimi, and Zun Zun also took her home for a delicious and lavish dinner.

After dinner, the two played together.

Mimi was still holding the tool for sealing the Evil God in her hand. Every time Zun Zun saw this, his mood was mixed.

Hui Hui had already told him that Mimi was the one who released the Evil God's seal. To have such an accomplishment at such a young age was truly terrifying.

Then Zun Zun asked about Houst, and Mimi was surprised that he knew of Houst's existence, but still obediently replied that she hadn't seen Houst recently and didn't know where it had gone.

Thinking about it, that made sense. If Houst was around, Mimi wouldn't have to come to him to beg for food.

When the night was completely dark, Hui Hui hurriedly ran into Zun Zun's house, and asked anxiously, "Zun Zun, has Mimi come here? I've searched everywhere at home and can't find her… Mimi! ?"

She visibly breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Mimi.

"Mimi, why didn't you tell me you were coming here? And didn't we agree to wait at home for Onee-chan to come back?"

"I forgot!"

Mimi said righteously, and Hui Hui couldn't blame Mimi at all, but the next sentence was a critical hit to her.

"Because NEET Onee-chan didn't cook."

"D-don't call me NEET Onee-chan, Mimi! And where did you learn the word NEET from!"

Hui Hui glared fiercely at Zun Zun, who looked innocent behind her.

Wait!

Did she think it was his fault?

Hui Hui took a deep breath and began to explain to Mimi in a gentle voice what a NEET was, and also stated that she wasn't not working but couldn't find a job, no one could understand her ideals, how could being unemployed be considered a NEET… and so on. The room was filled with a lively atmosphere.

When Hui Hui left with Mimi, she suddenly said to Zun Zun, "Tomorrow, could I trouble you to come to the forbidden area? I have something important I want to tell you."

"Sure, I guess…"

Huh, suddenly calling someone out and saying she has something important to say, could this be… a confession!?

Zun Zun's heart fluttered.

Then, the next day.

When he arrived at the forbidden area, looking at the potatoes that were jumping around in the field like skipping stones, and the two Welsh onions that seemed exceptionally irritable because they had to fence each other if they accidentally touched each other, he was completely dumbfounded.

Who let her plant rare ingredients!?

"Hui Hui, you…"

"I can't help it! Because going to Arcanletia requires 300,000 Eris, and ordinary vegetables can't sell for a high price, so I have no choice but to plant these things!"

Because Sister Kept-in-Stitches had graduated from magic school and was cultivating in the back mountains all day, she was able to hunt a large number of monsters, so Zun Zun, who didn't lack food, left the fields to Hui Hui to plant and supplement the household.

He didn't expect her to actually plant rare ingredients.

"You called me here, don't tell me you want me to help you harvest?"

"…Please!"

Hui Hui knelt on the ground.

Each rare ingredient was more difficult to handle than the last. Having learned a profound lesson, Zun Zun didn't underestimate these potatoes and Welsh onions at all, but when his calves were constantly bumped by the potatoes and the back of his hands were constantly whipped by the Welsh onions, he really couldn't bear it anymore.

He smashed a particularly naughty potato that was still jumping around into pieces with one punch, his scarlet eyes glaring at the trembling potatoes in the field, as if warning them that this would be their fate if they didn't listen.

Then he picked up the herbicide and aimed it at the Welsh onions. After spraying, the Welsh onions, which had just been stubborn, immediately bent over, and the other Welsh onions huddled together for warmth, not daring to move even if they were cut off.

With the cooperation of the vegetables, the harvest was completed in a few hours.

Most of it was due to Zun Zun's efforts.

Afterwards, the two of them, covered in mud, took the harvested crops to the village's farmers to purchase, and received 50,000 Eris from them.

"50,000… my three months of effort are only worth 50,000 Eris! ?"

Hui Hui looked at the single, flimsy bill in her hand in disbelief.

The purchasing farmer also became unhappy and complained, "This price is already fair. It's been this price for so many years, and your harvesting methods are too rough, damaging the crops. If it weren't for the sake of you being Piao Saburo's daughter, I wouldn't have bought these things."

In short, it meant don't open your eyes and talk nonsense, look for your own reasons, whether you worked hard, and so on.

Looking at the poorly presented crops, Hui Hui also knew it was because of her lack of experience. But if this continued, she didn't know when she would be able to save up 300,000 Eris.

Hui Hui looked at the flimsy bill in her hand. After struggling for a long time, she slowly opened her mouth and said, "There are priorities, and since I've fallen to this point, I can't help it. It seems I can only resort to the last resort and sell my body."

"…Huh? ? ?"

"That being said, my body is smaller than that of ordinary children, and I don't know if I can handle it."

Handle?

Handle what?

"The uncle at the pharmacy said that if I obediently listen and cooperate well, he would give me a lot of money, so I… Huh, Zun Zun, where are you suddenly going with that woodcutter's knife?"

"Going to pick mushrooms!"

Zun Zun's eyes emitted a scarlet light.

That night, screams were heard again from the Crimson Demon Village, leading the adults to mistakenly believe that ghosts had appeared again.
