#161 - I will bear the blame for the bitterness and truth
Zun Zun sat on the chair, one foot extended towards Darkness.
"What's wrong? Didn't you want to save your comrades? Don't you even have this much sacrifice and resolve?"
The blonde female knight lowered her head, her body trembling slightly, her fists clenched tightly.
Was he being too harsh?
Yes!
Definitely!
They were a team, yet he was being so demanding. No one could accept that, right? Judging by her trembling body, she must be on the verge of exploding with anger.
"Wait, Zun Zun, you're going too far!"
"I'm not part of your team, but I also think that's too much."
Aqua and Lynn condemned Zun Zun.
"Get lost!"
"Pfft—"
Zun Zun kicked Dast, who was trying to take advantage of the situation, three meters away with his other foot, the one still wearing the shoe. Even Lynn was speechless at Dast's lack of awareness.
But at the same time, it indirectly reminded Lynn.
"Enough, this is someone else's team's business. Let's not get involved."
"Wait, Lynn! I can... Don't, don't pull my collar, let me stay here, let me stay here, ahhh!"
He howled as he was dragged away. Lynn would never compromise on such matters.
"What are you pretending for? Come on, shouldn't you be happy? Saving your comrades with your own sacrifice, being subjected to this and that by a weirdo, your heart must be secretly rejoicing, right? Because you, this perverted female knight, have that kind of nature."
The venomous words were excessive, and the blonde female knight's body trembled even more.
"Zun Zun..."
Yunyun felt a little unbearable.
"Wait, this is too much!"
Darkness's muttering reached the others' ears.
As expected of a perverted female knight.
She wasn't angry at all, but rather indulging in her fantasies.
"Da, Darkness?"
"Miss Darkness..."
This kind of play was too advanced; Megumin and Yunyun's little brains couldn't comprehend it at all.
Darkness suddenly clenched her fists, like an upright female knight trapped and forced to sacrifice herself for her comrades, and opened her mouth with a sacred and pure expression.
"I will not yield! But... there's no choice! This is for my comrades! That's right, this is something I have to do for my comrades! I can only sacrifice myself and play this lewd game with him! So, don't stop me! For my comrades, this is a necessary sacrifice! Then, I'm going!"
Not only was she not angry,
she seemed to be enjoying it.
Under Megumin and Yunyun's astonished gaze, Darkness crouched in front of Zun Zun, holding up Zun Zun's pristine foot, her face flushed and panting heavily.
"Ha... ha... ha..."
Zun Zun could feel the warm breath. More than him, Darkness seemed like the pervert who enjoyed lewd games.
Just as Darkness stuck out her tongue, about to lick—
"Flower, Bird, Wind, Moon!"
A stream of water splashed on Zun Zun's foot, also wetting Darkness's hand.
He turned his head to look at the idiot goddess holding a fan.
"Aqua, what are you doing?"
"Cleaning! I was afraid Darkness would feel burdened, so I specially helped to clean it! Don't worry, with me, the Goddess of Water, on the job, this foot has become cleaner and neater than a baby's foot! No need to thank me!"
Aqua proudly took credit.
Darkness, on the other hand, sighed, seeming a little regretful and listless.
The two were very different.
"Enough! Stop fooling around! Darkness, have some self-awareness! How can you let Zun Zun play such an excessive game with you!?"
"That's right, that's right! Miss Darkness has no self-awareness!"
Megumin hugged Zun Zun in her arms, scolding the perverted female knight crouching in front of her. Yunyun also shouted, her cheeks flushed as if she was a little shy.
Is it my fault!?
Darkness opened her mouth slightly, looking at the two Crimson Demon girls who were loudly condemning her.
Speaking of which, wasn't Zun Zun the one who made the excessive request just now?
Why was she being blamed?
With Megumin and Yunyun's intervention, the excessive and embarrassing public play came to an end.
Zun Zun heard many subtle sighs of regret around him. Looking around, the adventurers were once again seriously chatting with their companions.
These guys...!
Megumin hugged Zun Zun's head, using the strangulation technique she learned in Crimson Demon physical education class to choke his neck.
"In any case! Zun Zun, you must rescue Kazuma!"
"Cough, cough cough...!"
"Megumin, let go quickly! Zun Zun is about to faint!"
Yunyun shouted excitedly.
Feeling difficulty breathing was one thing, but more importantly, the flat chest was really uncomfortable.
After the commotion.
Zun Zun returned to normal and calmly drank a sip of juice. His slow movements made the others feel displeased.
"Don't worry about Kazuma's matter."
"But...!"
"I know you're anxious, but don't be. Listen to me first."
He waved his hand, signaling Aqua, who was about to shout, to calm down and listen to him.
"Have you forgotten who I am?"
"Zun Zun, what's wrong?"
"...No, what Zun Zun wants to express is that he's a fortune teller."
"Yunyun understands me best."
Zun Zun's praise made the shy Yunyun giggle, but she was greeted by Megumin's even tighter flat-chest strangulation.
"Are you saying Kazuma won't be sentenced to death?"
"Let, let go! Let go quickly! Cough cough... That's, that's right. Although Kazuma will be wronged in prison, he won't be beheaded. Even if he goes to the trial, he won't be convicted. Also, don't do anything unnecessary, it wouldn't be good if he gets sentenced because of that."
Zun Zun, who had finally managed to escape from the chest hug of death, said to the group.
However, the expressions on their faces were slightly strange.
"Hey, you guys..."
"N-No, it's not like that! I was just afraid that Kazuma would be beheaded, so I was thinking of doing something to save him! I really didn't do it on purpose!"
Aqua explained慌张.
Did she really do something stupid again?
Heh heh heh—
In danger, I cower and say my teammates are invincible; when it's time to attack, I charge forward decisively; I want all the rewards and bounty, why should I give them to you; who's the MVP after it's over? I'm still learning.
These are my weird teammates.
Besides, even if Satou Kazuma is beheaded, Aqua can bring him back to life, right? What's there to worry about? It's just another addition to Satou Kazuma's frustrating deaths.
"I see... then I'm relieved."
Darkness breathed a sigh of relief, and her expression gradually relaxed. She still trusted the fortune-telling of the Crimson Demon Clan's divine fortune teller's younger brother.
And she also believed in Zun Zun.
"There's no choice. I can only let Kazuma suffer and take the blame."
"Hmm???"
"What's wrong, Zun Zun? Did the fortune-telling have a problem, or is Kazuma going to be sentenced to death again?"
"No, I just think you have the potential to be a noble."
"I-Is that so? I-I'm not a noble... Zun Zun, you're really... You can't make jokes like that. Nobles won't be happy if they hear it, hehe, hehehe..."
Darkness laughed nervously.
The fact that she was a noble lady was currently only known to Satou Kazuma, and he was still locked up in prison.
She didn't want to deceive her companions, but she was afraid that a thick barrier would appear between them if her identity was exposed.
However—
Aqua suddenly said excitedly, "By the way, Zun Zun, you don't know yet, do you?"
"Know what?"
"Darkness's real name isn't Darkness, but Lalatina! Lalatina... what do you think? Cute, right!?"
"Oh ho~~~"
Zun Zun looked at Darkness, who was trying to stop Aqua from saying it, but the name had already spread throughout the guild, causing her to be embarrassed.
He raised his head slightly.
"So cute~ (Kaguya voice)"
"Ugh...! I don't want this kind of embarrassment, stop teasing me!"
Darkness covered her face and squatted on the ground.
Zun Zun had known about this for a long time. He even knew that she was a noble lady, but he didn't see the need to expose her.
"Speaking of which..."
He looked at Megumin and Yunyun and asked curiously, "Didn't you go back for the clan chief trials? Why did you come back so quickly? And you even caught the mobile fortress Destroyer attack?"
"Hmph hmph! That's because I sensed danger, so I came back!"
"That's not true!"
Seeing her good friend Megumin acting chuuni, Yunyun unceremoniously exposed her.
"Megumin was doing nothing at home and also eating Mimi's food. Mimi complained to me that she could eat her fill before her sister came back, but after she came back, there was nothing to eat. She begged me to take Megumin away quickly."
"Mimi didn't tell me about this!"
"That's because she was afraid of hurting her sister's pride! Have some self-awareness!"
"Wh-What...!"
Megumin was stunned.
It seemed that she also knew how unqualified she was as a sister.
There was no choice.
After all, Mimi was destined to be a big shot in the future. This was something that the entire Crimson Demon Clan unanimously agreed on.
