#294 - Her willfulness is beyond imagination
Zun-zun earned respect through strength.
Although he thoroughly humiliated Claire, neither Iris nor Claire herself was angry about it.
Because the strong should humiliate the weak.
This is basically a theorem of the kingdom.
In addition to the inherent imprint that the royal family has always combined with the strong in every generation, there is also the admiration that Claire and others have for the strong.
"But don't look at me like this, there are people I absolutely can't win against."
"Is it the Demon King?"
"No, it's someone stronger than the Demon King."
Zun-zun sighed slightly depressed.
He was talking about Reinhard. The darling of that world, the author's biological father, every time Zun-zun gained new power and thought he was invincible, Reinhard could always make him face reality.
However, since he was able to force Reinhard to use the Dragon Sword after contracting with the Elf, Zun-zun has gained a little confidence.
"Stronger than the Demon King..."
Claire and another companion—a magic tutor named Rhein—exchanged glances, both seeing the doubt in each other's eyes. If there really was such a strong person, they shouldn't be unaware of it, but looking at Zun-zun's depressed expression, it didn't seem like he was lying.
The banquet was quite pleasant.
Claire no longer had the arrogant attitude she had before, and Iris also took the initiative to chat with people, mainly clinging to Darkness and Zun-zun, making Claire, Megumin, and Yunyun a little jealous.
Kazuma Sato didn't know if his brain was cramping, but he probably wanted to show off or perform in front of the princess, so he took the initiative to propose a duel with Claire.
Looking at this scum's scheming smile, it was clear that Kazuma Sato mistakenly thought that Claire, who had been humiliated by Zun-zun, was just a showy person, but he didn't expect that after the duel started, he would be severely humiliated. The difference between the two was at least 3 Kyouya Mitsurugi (without the Demon Sword version).
But in the end, Kazuma Sato won.
He won without a fight by using the ultimate move of stealing underwear.
All the women present were disgusted and refused to be within several meters of him, and unknowingly he was given the name of Beast and alienated because of it, making Kazuma Sato want to cry but having no tears.
Time came to evening.
"That... I didn't expect things to turn out like this, I'm really very sorry."
Claire apologized to everyone.
She apologized for her actions of offending Zun-zun just now, and Iris also stood beside her, burying her face in her arm to hide.
Darkness also shook her head.
"It's okay, please don't take it to heart. We also have our impolite places, causing you to accidentally be stolen, stolen... I think let's just let this matter pass."
"Yes."
The two looked at each other and smiled shyly.
Let bygones be bygones.
There will never be good girlfriends like Claire and Darkness again.
"Speaking of which, to be able to perform such gorgeous talent, that archpriest is a bit unexpected."
Because Aqua didn't injure Darkness's arm, she didn't have a chance to appear. But some people are born to be protagonists, and if there is no spotlight, they will naturally create one. She performed her talent on her own when the atmosphere was high, causing the princess and her entourage who had never seen it to exclaim repeatedly and receive a lot of rewards.
Zun-zun suspected that she was working so hard just for the rewards.
And now Aqua has fallen asleep. After drinking so much sparkling wine and making a fuss, she is already exhausted. If she were awake, she might spoil the current atmosphere, so let her continue to sleep.
"Also, Lord Zun-zun, I didn't expect you to be so strong, you don't seem like a Great Magic Tutor at all."
Claire lowered her head, somewhat convinced, after seeing Zun-zun.
"A magic tutor who doesn't want to be a swordsman is not a good adventurer." Zun-zun raised his thumb and said some nonsense theories, "A true Great Magic Tutor should learn a level one Holy Light Technique, and then use a sword to fight the opponent head-on."
"Is, is that so..."
Seeing the hearty smile of the person in front of her, Claire twitched the corner of her mouth.
Her other companion, Rhein, who is also a magic tutor, has been saying that magic tutors should uphold elegance and play the role of fire support under the heavy protection of the team. What's the point of rashly taking the initiative to go to the battlefield?
But in the end, it was still attributed to Zun-zun being a Crimson Demon.
That's right.
No matter what extraordinary things happen, as long as it is attributed to the Crimson Demons, everything becomes reasonable.
"As for Mr. Kazuma..."
For some reason, only when Kazuma Sato was mentioned did Claire look at him with suspicious eyes. It seems that she is still brooding over the underwear theft just now.
Zun-zun can also understand the meaning in her eyes.
—Why is this extremely despicable scum in this super-high-standard team?
Three Great Magic Tutors, a Crusader Knight, an Archpriest. A full upper-level profession mixed with an adventurer, it is really a bit incomprehensible.
Then Iris trotted to Zun-zun, and in front of everyone, took his hands with anticipation and joy.
"Zun-zun, can you tell me adventure stories again?"
"With pleasure."
Zun-zun wanted to stroke her head.
The girl's pitiful appearance, like a puppy, really made people unable to hold back, but considering that the other party is a princess, he still gave up the idea.
"—Okay, then we will return to the city here, Sir Dustiness, Lord Zun-zun, and everyone, we have troubled you."
Magic Tutor Rhein said.
Darkness shook her head and said apologetically, "We are the ones who failed to entertain you properly... Princess Iris, next time I visit the city, let's have a good chat. At that time, I will prepare all kinds of adventure stories."
Hearing her say this, Iris also smiled shyly.
Huh?
Speaking of which, what happened to that necklace?
Zun-zun hasn't forgotten that he once asked Chris to send Iris a letter, which also mentioned the necklace...
Then he looked at Iris's chest.
Nothing.
The artifact necklace that could exchange bodies was not worn on her body, presumably Iris listened to the advice and put the necklace away.
Since this is the case, then wait for Chris to come back and discuss stealing it.
Thief group, start!
"Then, everyone's illustrious achievements so far will surely remain in the records of the kingdom and be passed down through the ages. The kingdom awards these to you to express its appreciation."
Claire took out medals and a bag of things.
Handed it to Darkness.
Understandable, after all, among the team members, Darkness is a noble, and naturally she is regarded as the captain of the team. Zun-zun can understand this.
But Kazuma Sato looked quite critical.
"I am truly grateful."
Darkness bowed and smiled gently at the princess, "Then, Princess Iris, please take care of yourself..."
Megumin and Yunyun also waved goodbye to her.
Although the time was short, the three seemed to have a good relationship.
"Goodbye, Iris. I will go to the royal city soon, with another companion."
"It's Iris... Lord Zun-zun, you really are, at least remember the name of the royal family."
Claire looked helpless.
She obviously didn't know that this was actually a code between Zun-zun and Iris, and the other companion mentioned was actually Chris.
And at this moment.
At the moment Rhein completed the teleportation magic, Iris grabbed Zun-zun's wrist as if she had been prepared for it.
"No, come now!"
"—Teleport!"
With Rhein's shout, Zun-zun and Iris were enveloped in light together, disappearing from the spot amidst Megumin and Yunyun's screams.
The bright light covered the eyes, and opened again.
What was seen was the princess with her back to a castle, giving him a smug smile.
Claire and Rhein couldn't help but exclaim when they saw this.
"Princess Iris!" X2
"I won't let you get away this time, Zun-zun!"
Iris was a little willful.
—Zun-zun didn't mean he didn't want to come to the royal capital, but there were still many things to do in Axel, and he couldn't say it directly because Claire and Rhein were by his side, so he hinted at Iris.
But Iris clearly understood, but still forcibly brought him to the royal capital.
"That... I'm sorry."
Iris apologized to him in a low voice.
After they arrived at the castle, many maids greeted them together, as if they were deliberately waiting.
Under Iris's leadership, the group came to a luxurious room on the upper floor of the castle. Then Claire said that she had something to report and left first, leaving Iris, Rhein, and Zun-zun, who was sulking, in the room.
Iris did not convey her thoughts through Rhein, but said the words of apology in person.
Rhein was a little surprised by this.
Zun-zun curled his lips and said, "How dare I be angry with you, you are right... Princess."
Iris trembled.
She understood that there was already a thick, sad barrier between the two.
"I..."
"You thought I would say that?"
Zun-zun flicked her forehead.
Iris cried out in pain, covered her forehead and sat down on the bed. But she was not angry about it, but smiled foolishly. Zun-zun's lack of boundaries made her even happier.
Although Rhein was not as irritable as Claire, she also made a gesture of restraint.
Zun-zun rolled his eyes at this unceremoniously.
Rhein also sighed slightly and said, "I'm very sorry, Lord Zun-zun. Princess Iris... As a member of the royal family, she must always be strict with herself. Usually, she is an obedient child who doesn't bother anyone. Princess Iris has done this for the first time in her life. To be honest, I am also very curious about what kind of magic you have."
"Because I am a heartthrob?"
"Hehe, you are joking."
Zun-zun's shameless words did not make Rhein feel embarrassed for him.
"There are no playmates in this castle who are of the same status as Princess Iris. Can you please stay here because this is Princess Iris's first act of willfulness, and play with the princess for a while?"
Are you sure it's the first time?
Zun-zun showed a suspicious expression.
Back in the Royal Capital dungeon, Iris was the one who played the craziest. Her willfulness is beyond your imagination.
At this time, Zun-zun's hair suddenly fell apart.
"Huh?"
"This is..."
Under Rhein's surprised and Zun-zun's embarrassed gaze, the two big cherries behind his head took the initiative to find the grapes on Iris's head, and the two different fruits snuggled together, emitting obvious love heart effects.
Now I have to stay.
