The legend of the Crimson Demon clan started from Suqing.

Chapter 394 God's Body = Catnip (End of Re:Zero)

The discussion in the parliament was very intense, after all, it was very difficult to get to the surveillance tower.

Then, five people finally decided to go to the Watchtower: Emilia, Subaru Natsuki, Betty, Julius, and Anastasia.

The rest were disbanded.

Zun Zun also returned to the hotel to rest, preparing to return to the capital with Reinhard and others early tomorrow morning.

evening.

When Zun Zun was resting in his room, there was a knock on the door suddenly and a familiar girl's voice was heard from outside the door.

"——It's me. I'm very sorry to bother you. May I ask if you have time now, sir?"

"Please come in."

As soon as he finished speaking, the door opened.

A thin girl wearing a fox scarf walked in slowly.

He didn't foolishly ask her why she was here. This hotel was originally her property, and he was not surprised by her visit.

"I thought you wouldn't come."

"How could that be? Your Excellency is about to leave, and I must see you off."

“…It would be nice if that were the case.”

"What did you say?"

"nothing."

Zun Zun saw that she was still standing at the door, and motioned for her to come in and sit down, while pouring her a cup of tea.

"Thank you."

The girl thanked him softly, sitting elegantly on the floor with her legs together, while taking off the scarf from her neck and placing it on the round table.

"So, what are you doing here?"

"Yes, I want to discuss with you the Witch Cult's attack on Minato City. You have done a lot of great things this time, and I think you will definitely be favored by the Council and the nobles when you return this time."

"You want me to share some of the credit? Okay, then I'll give all the credit for defeating the Archbishop of Lust and the Archbishop of Greed to Miss Anastasia."

"Is this the kind of person I am in your eyes?"

Zun Zun's words were somewhat hurtful, and the girl puffed her lips slightly as if she was a little angry, but then she sighed.

"You are an unexpected person who would give your own credit to others at will. On the contrary, on the contrary. I want to give you half of the credit for protecting the city and organizing the crowd to avoid a large number of casualties."

"Oh?"

This part should be attributed to Anastasia and Chilitaka. One of them used this place as a base camp, and the other was a major trade council leader in Watergate City.

Although it did not go to the battlefield, it played a big role.

——Zunzun and the others only need to think about how to defeat the Archbishop of Sin, while Anastasia in the back has much more to consider.

"Mr. Otto helped a lot. He single-handedly resisted a Sin Archbishop and helped others retreat. He deserves credit for his contribution."

"Let's just take it as it is."

Zun Zun, who was leaning on the coffee table, smiled meaningfully, took a sip of tea and said, "Then, what do you want?"

"...No, other than that, I have nothing else to do."

"Make no mistake. I'm not talking about Anastasia. I'm talking about you."

Zun Zun's words made her smile freeze, then it gradually melted and she tilted her neck slightly.

"Oh, this is incredible. Your Excellency knows that I am not Anna?"

Her tone changed drastically when she knew she was exposed.

The two tones were very similar, but the most important part was indeed lost. Even though the girl in front of him imitated it very well, he could still feel the obvious difference between the two.

"The eyes of the Crimson Demons can see magic. The magic of you and the fox on the coffee table are almost entangled. This has never happened before."

In Zun Zun's eyes, they seemed like a whole, or rather, the fox was controlling Anastasia's body.

"Besides that, there are many flaws. For example, Anastasia would not call me 'Sir'. Anastasia would not talk to me like a businessman and try to be nice in the form of negotiation. She would not sit so close to me either."

"——I didn't expect that my respect and admiration would become a flaw... Hey!"

Fake Anastasia seemed to be unable to hold back any longer, and threw herself into Zun Zun's arms, breathing heavily in his arms. The girl's soft body and fragrant breath made Zun Zun a little stunned for a moment.

"……Eh?"

“Ahh, that’s it—”

Her cheeks were flushed, and she had a look of satisfaction, and the fairies in the crown jumped out one after another, constantly circling around her, and the fairy dragon bit her clothes and dragged her out.

"Wait, wait a minute! The clothes are going to get ruined!"

what is the problem?

It took a long time for the farce to subside.

"So explain it." Zun Zun looked at Anastasia and the fox on the coffee table and said, "What is going on?"

"Yes! Because the smell of the master is so good, I can't control it for a while..."

"That's not what I'm asking."

An irrelevant answer.

By the way, am I catnip, and do I have a strong attraction to immortal spirits?
"You came here alone and used your achievements as an inducement. You must be asking for something. At least, I don't think Otto can take half of the credit."

"As expected of you, my Lord. If I wasn't worried about Anna, I would really like to sign a contract with you! - Wait, wait, I'm kidding! Don't bully me!"

The noble fairies bullied the fake Anastasia who made a bold confession. Of course, whether it was a joke or not, only she knew.

"My Lord, may I ask when did you see through it?"

“At the beginning.”

"...Is that so? I have been observing Anna all by myself, thinking that I can imitate her completely, but I still can't do it?" The girl sighed in frustration, and then said seriously: "My lord, please save Anna!"

The two of them will become indistinguishable from each other, which can be traced back to the attack of the Archbishop of Gluttony.

The Archbishop of Gluttony was much more troublesome than expected. Not to mention the identities of the three men who came to attack, it was quite difficult to deal with them given their strong strength. When Julius and Ricardo fell, Anastasia decided to help.

Then the fox spirit possessed the body.

After being possessed, Anastasia was able to use some low-level magic, which didn't help much, but she successfully drove away the bishops of gluttony.

Just when I was trying to get rid of the possession, I found that there was no way to do it.

"You know what happened next."

"You can't remove the possession, so you can only pretend not to let others see your flaws... I understand. Before that, please come down first."

He pushed away the girl who wanted to ride on him.

The fox fairy and Anastasia did not sign a contract because the magic absorbing function of Anastasia's door was not yet mature and could not be used normally. Signing a contract would only bring a burden to her.

"I'm counting on you, my Lord."

The girl knelt on the floor, resting her head on the floor, and whispered:

"As for me, I really like Anna. Even though I didn't sign a contract with her, I spent more than ten years with her, and it wasn't just because I wanted to observe her. I don't know if it's true, but I can feel a sense of intimacy similar to that of a protector or family member. I want her to be healthy and happy more than anyone else, so - please!"

Chattering about love.

Not friends or lovers, but family above that.

Similar to Parker and Emilia, Betty and Natsuki Subaru, and Senjinlong and Zunzun, they all have a family-like relationship. She is the same.

"Of course, you can refuse. In fact, the real reason why I went to the Sage's Tower this time was not to help Mr. Natsuki Subaru and the others, but for Anna."

“…I can try.”

"May I?"

"I also received a lot of care from Anastasia."

You see, this is the reward for improving your favorability. Even if Zun Zun knew that Anastasia was improving his favorability, he couldn't just sit back and watch at this time.

"And now I'm the only one who can try it, right?"

"Yes, that's it..."

Anastasia's current state is additive, as the fox spirit possesses her, which is addition. Zun Zun's Dark Sword is subtraction, so it is very likely that it can be done.

"So--"

"Eh? Wait, wait a minute, let me prepare myself mentally!"

"Where is the time for this?"

"wait----!"

cut!
He held the Dark Sword with murderous intent on his face, and even though he knew there would be no danger, he still felt afraid.

And the result this time was, of course, success.

Anastasia's dormant consciousness regained control, but what was unexpected was that she was still affected by the power of the Archbishop of Gluttony and had forgotten her knight Julius.

But in the end, she decided to go to the Sage's Tower, not for herself, but for the knight she had forgotten - Julius.

the next day.

After bidding farewell to Natsuki Subaru and the others, Zunzun, Otto, Fram, Firut, and Reinhard escorted the Archbishop of Angry back to the royal capital.

With the noisy Firut and Otto on the way, he was not bored at all.

During this period, Zun Zun also chatted with the Angry Archbishop, asking why the Witch Cult was looking for the Red Demon Clan and why the name of the Red Demon Clan appeared in the Gospel.

This is a blind spot.

Zun Zun's body has a strong adaptability to magic, and coupled with the external plug-in of the body of God, it is undoubtedly an excellent container.

But the question is, how did the Witch Cult know about this? It’s impossible that this book also knows about things in the other world, right?
However, the Archbishop of Anger said nothing. No, it would be better to say that she didn't care about it at all.

It is true that the Gospel contains some general information about the Crimson Demon Clan, but she came to Minato City because the Gospel told the Archbishop of Wrath that she would reunite with her lover here, and in fact they did reunite - in Natsuki Subaru's body.

Since communication was impossible, Zun Zun gave up.

Return to the royal capital.

The results of the battle in Watergate City have already been reported to the Council.

If a great person does not make a sound, he will be a surprise when he does.

Such a person naturally received extremely high praise. After knowing that Zun Zun had done so much, Miklotov, the representative of the Sages' Council, wanted to hold a coronation ceremony right away to announce the return of the Dragon King, but he had to give up because of the three-year agreement.

And Zun Zun came to Reinhard after he had settled the Archbishop of Wrath.

"The matter of Watergate City is over, and it's time for me to go back."

"Your Excellency, you have accomplished so many great things. It can be said that you are the next king. Why…"

“Because of my family.”

"family……"

Reinhard chewed on these two words, his expression was very sad. The already broken family became even worse after this incident.

The Sword Master is invincible, but he also has some pitiful aspects. At least he has never had a close family or blood-related family.

——It has never happened since the death of the previous Sword Master.

“Reinhard…”

"Your Majesty?"

"Sorry. And… no, nothing."

At this point, he couldn’t say anything to make Reinhardt and Wilhelm reconcile. If he had told the Archbishop of Gluttony, if Reinhardt had not been in vain, if Wilhelm had said goodbye to his wife successfully, if—

Many "what ifs" came to mind, but were thrown out of my head by Zun Zun. I was not qualified to say these what ifs since I could not die and return.

"Anyway, I'll come back in a year."

"I'll get lonely if you're gone for so long."

"Please be patient until then. Hey, wait a minute..." Zun Zun seemed to have thought of something and said, "Reinhard, can you change the speed of time?"
