The legend of the Crimson Demon clan started from Suqing

"So amazing! As expected of the Crimson Demons! Your strength is truly astonishing!"

On the way back, Lynn was generously praising Yuyu and Huihui. As a magic instructor herself, she understood just how naturally gifted the Crimson Demons were.

"Oh, it's nothing, not that amazing."

Although Yuyu tried to appear calm, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl upward slightly.

Huihui even shouted that explosion magic was the best in the world, but lying on Yuyu's back, she showed no semblance of a powerful figure.

Zunzun and Dust walked behind them.

"My sword… my sword worth 180,000 Eris…"

Dust, with a palm print on his face, looked at the remaining hilt in his hand, on the verge of tears. As expected of something worth 180,000, it still had some remnants left after being hit by explosion magic.

"How should I put it… sorry."

Zunzun didn't expect that he would stick his longsword into the Beginner Killer's body, and that move…

"Compensation, you must compensate me!"

Dust shouted loudly.

Zunzun sighed and said, "Alright, although it wasn't intentional, since we caused it, we'll forgo the reward for this subjugation quest."

"Not enough."

"Hey, this quest is worth 200,000 Eris! I advise you to be kind!"

"The sword compensation is enough, but there's the mental distress fee from being blasted by explosion magic, and the physical injury fee! Look, my face is injured!"

"That's because you were getting handsy with Lynn and got slapped!"

Dust's unreasonable behavior was infuriating, and he even acted like he had Zunzun cornered.

So frustrating!

Zunzun, however, acted unusually, smiling and saying, "It's okay, I'll compensate you no matter how much it is."

"Eh? Th-that… Zunzun, your expression is strange. Ah, ah… this time it was also largely my fault, and this is just my spare longsword… Th-that's right, how about this! Half, Zunzun only needs to pay half."

"It's okay, I'll pay it all."

"Eh!"

The more amiable Zunzun was, the more uneasy Dust felt.

Suddenly, Zunzun said again, "By the way, Dust, do you know if there's a gun expert in Axel?"

"I-I don't know, I don't care about that kind of thing."

Dust's body trembled slightly. He turned his head jerkily, looked at the amiable Zunzun, and asked, "Wh-what's wrong? Why bring that up out of the blue?"

"It's nothing, I just thought of it while chatting. Look, even Miturugi Kyoya came looking for a gun expert, his strength must be outstanding! What was his name again… that's right, it's called Rein Scheider! Right, Dust?"

"Eek—!"

Dust let out a shameful wail.

Just when he thought Zunzun would say something more, Zunzun instead smiled silently. As time passed, Dust became more and more uneasy, as if ants were crawling all over him!

Just as Lynn and the others walked out of the forest, Zunzun and Dust were still behind.

Zunzun suddenly said, "By the way, Dust, the move and gunmanship you used just now seemed very…"

"Waaaaah————"

Dust suddenly screamed.

His scream also startled Lynn, and her inquiry came from the front: "Dust, what's wrong? What happened?"

"N-nothing! I just suddenly needed to go to the toilet! That Beginner Killer was too strong, I was so scared I almost peed my pants."

"You're hopeless!"

Dust's casual perfunctory reply drew disgust from Lynn in the front. But now he had no time to care about that, because—

"Mr. Dust, you wouldn't want your secret of being a gun expert to be exposed, would you?"

Huh? ? ?

Dust looked completely bewildered.

No, dude, am I the small-time hoodlum, or are you? Why are you saying my lines!

"I understand, I understand!"

Dust raised both hands in surrender, saying, "I don't need compensation for the sword, and I don't want the reward this time, okay?"

"Not enough."

"Hey, I advise you to be kind!"

The tables have turned, bro!

Zunzun looked at him with a smile, but said nothing.

Dust gritted his teeth and said, "Even if you blackmail me like this, you have no proof. A gun expert? No one will believe it if you say it! Heh heh heh, I can't beat anyone in terms of strength, unexpectedly weak!"

Saying the most cowardly words in the most confident tone.

As expected of Dust.

Zunzun didn't care about any of that. He put his hands to his mouth in a megaphone shape and shouted, "Hey, you guys—! Actually, Dust is— — —"

"Wait, wait!"

Dust grabbed Zunzun's mouth.

Lynn shouted again from the front: "Dust, what's wrong with you again!"

"N-nothing! Zunzun was just saying my dick is small! Sorry it's so small!"

"…What nonsense are you saying all of a sudden! Hurry up and finish, this is a forest, maybe a monster will jump out!"

"I understand!"

This guy Dust, in order to prevent Lynn from suspecting him, is willing to slander himself, to what extent is he keeping his true identity a secret?

"Hiss—, I understand."

Under Zunzun's puzzled gaze, Dust made up his mind, suddenly knelt on the ground, took out a ticket-like thing from his chest, and held it up in front of him with both hands.

"Please, Zunzun-sama, spare me!"

"…What is this?"

"Succubus Cafe complimentary ticket."

"What! ?"

Zunzun knew that there were many powerful adventurers in Axel who were unwilling to leave because of the Succubus Cafe.

"Hey, I'm saying, giving this kind of thing to a child who isn't even an adult yet, is that really appropriate?"

"This is the most important treasure I have."

Dust was about to cry.

Admittedly, in the eyes of Lynn and others, the remains of the 180,000 Eris longsword were more valuable than this ticket, but for Dust, this was his only treasure, his only solace, and the only motivation that allowed him to live in this dirty world (not).

"And because this Succubus Cafe only absorbs energy, it welcomes all ages, even the elderly. Besides, as long as you don't actively state your age, who would care?"

Dust showed a lewd smile.

This guy is a complete scumbag.

But…

"Since that's the case, then I don't need to pretend to be a gentleman anymore."

Zunzun decisively accepted the invitation ticket.

Come on, he was also a boy who had entered puberty. Every day he lived in a hotel with childhood friends of different styles, but he could only look and not touch, how much of an impact did that have on him?

Plus, he had been so tempted by the older sister Cecilia some time ago that he was already on the verge of breaking!

It's decided, his first target will be her!

After the dirty deal was completed, the two of them had smiles on their faces, each with their hands on the other's shoulders, jumping out of the forest like good brothers.

Meanwhile, the girls were still resting and waiting for the two of them.

Lynn couldn't help but say after seeing Zunzun and Dust's lewd smiles, "Hey, Dust, you didn't do anything weird, did you?"

"Zunzun, you're showing an unprecedented expression, how should I put it… I really want to hit that face with an explosion magic.", Huihui said.

Yuyu even said with tears in her eyes, "Zunzun, you've gone bad."

Are you my mom!

Also, am I being that obvious?
