The legend of the Crimson Demon clan started from Suqing

After devouring the bento box she snatched from Yoyo, Megumin smacked her lips contentedly, her eyes, previously glowing red with excitement, dimmed, and the beast-like aura around her dissipated.

Zun Zun couldn't help but ask, "How long has it been since you last ate?"

"Since yesterday morning, I've only had a bowl of porridge with three grains of rice in it. I haven't eaten anything since."

"That's just plain rice water, isn't it? No, you can even count the grains of rice. It barely qualifies as rice water."

Megumin remained unfazed, leaving Zun Zun speechless. He hadn't realized the little girl's family's food supplies were running out so quickly, which was likely due to Aunt Wei Wei's pregnancy.

"Also, what did you mean by what you said just now?"

"That's what Mom taught me. She said that if someone tries to take something that belongs to you, saying those words will be very effective."

"Aunt Wei Wei must be a seasoned romance drama expert."

"Romance drama expert?"

The little girl looked puzzled, not knowing what a romance drama expert was, and then looked at Yoyo, who was constantly sobbing beside her.

"Why is she crying?"

"It's all because someone suddenly rushed out like a berserker and stole someone else's bento box, making them cry."

"Huh?"

Megumin looked down at the empty, sparkling clean bento box in her hand, suddenly remembering what she had just done, and tentatively turned to Zun Zun.

"Was it my fault?"

"That's why I told you not to."

Zun Zun shrugged.

It wasn't entirely the little girl's fault. As everyone knows, people are capable of anything when they're extremely hungry, and that's especially true for Megumin, who had been hungry for a long time…

...Not!

The original Megumin wasn't like this. Even if she was about to starve to death, she wouldn't steal from others. But just now, she clearly took action!

"How should I put it… When I saw you two eating bento, I just felt really annoyed."

"Huh?"

Stealing something that belongs to her, feeling annoyed seeing two people intimately eating bento together.

Could this be—

"Because that bento was clearly prepared for me! That means it's mine, so I didn't do anything wrong!"

"It's not your bento. I prepared it for Yoyo! Also, you shouldn't forget the principle of 'no work, no food'!"

Wrong, this wasn't the little girl being jealous or anything. Somewhat embarrassed, Zun Zun tapped the little girl's forehead hard.

"That hurts."

Megumin cried out in pain, but still honestly apologized to Yoyo, "I'm sorry, I snatched your bento just now. I'll make it up to you, but my family is very poor. If possible, I hope to compensate with labor."

The same words she used when they first met.

One couldn't help but wonder if the little girl always used this excuse, then took the opportunity to benefit from it.

"Eh? N-No need, it's a small matter… I-I don't mind at all…"

Yoyo, with tears in her eyes, shyly waved her hands after seeing how serious Megumin was. She wasn't very good at dealing with serious people. Or rather, she wasn't good at dealing with anyone.

Having been forgiven, Megumin curiously asked Zun Zun.

"Speaking of which, who is she?"

"You're asking now? Never mind, let me introduce you. She's Yoyo. After you left, I found her as a new helper. She's a very useful friend."

"Useful friend?"

Megumin repeated suspiciously.

Yoyo also felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't figure out what it was.

Suddenly, the little girl stared intently at Yoyo's chest and said, "May I ask, how old are you this year?"

"Eh? E-Eight years old… What's wrong?"

"Eight years old!? Isn't that the same age as me!"

Megumin exclaimed suddenly.

The raised volume startled Yoyo, and the fierce gaze also forced her to cover her chest, involuntarily taking a step back.

Come to think of it, although Yoyo was the same age as them, other places were not quite the same.

For example, her enviable pectoral muscles.

Although she couldn't compare to Sister To-Love's vastness, she was much better than Megumin's flat runway. And the little girl was inherently hostile to people with pectoral muscles wider than hers, so she showed obvious hostility.

Zun Zun quickly smoothed things over, "Um… Yoyo, let me introduce you. This is Megumin. She's also my useful friend."

"I-Is that so."

Yoyo's expression was a little disappointed, as if she felt that her friend's status had been taken away.

So, Zun Zun said, "If possible, you two should also be frie—"

"This guy is an enemy!"

The little girl suddenly stared at Yoyo with burning eyes and said, "Isn't there a saying, 'The enemy of my enemy is my friend,' so the friend of my friend is my enemy!"

"Eh, is that so?"

Yoyo looked incredibly confused.

"That's not right! Where did you get that twisted logic?" Zun Zun rolled his eyes, "Hey, Megumin, why are you saying that?"

"Isn't it? Because she took my job, and most importantly… she has enviable pectoral muscles!"

The little girl had a deep resentment towards that place, and then let out an inexplicable low laugh.

"Heh heh heh, I see, I understand."

"What do you understand?"

"Without a doubt, this is a declaration of war against me, a provocation against me! Alright, the Crimson Demon Clan's rule is to respond to any challenge! I will punish your arrogant pectoral muscles!"

"Eh eh eh————"

Megumin pounced on Yoyo, completely disregarding the mud on her body, and wrestled together as if no one else was around.

The little girl's main target was Yoyo's chest, which occupied most of her vision, and the techniques she used were also eye-opening.

Upon seeing this, Zun Zun couldn't help but sigh.

"What a great relationship. I didn't expect you two to be so passionate after just meeting."

"T-That's not how it is at all, help me ah ah ah————"

Although Yoyo was a little taller than Megumin, and her strength and physique were also much stronger, her combat experience and skills were far inferior to Megumin, who had been foraging in the forest since she was a child. In just a few moves, she made Yoyo limp and unable to get up.

"I won!"

The little girl stood up, raised her clenched right hand high, proudly raised her head, like a victorious general. It seemed that the two had just established a superior-subordinate relationship.

Zun Zun helped the sobbing Yoyo up and blamed, "Megumin, why are you bullying her?"

"What are you saying? She's an enemy!"

"Isn't it a bit much to call a member of the same clan an enemy? At least use the term 'opponent'."

"Opponent? I see…"

After being reminded, Megumin thought about it seriously for a while, and then pointed at the sobbing Yoyo and said, "Alright, I'll admit you're my opponent! You seem to have the same power in your body as I do, but don't you dare be proud! I'll catch up soon!"

The little girl pointed her finger at Yoyo's chest.

So she still cares about that?
