The legend of the Crimson Demon clan started from Suqing

#506 - A girl's blush is better than any love words

As dawn broke, Yoyo and ZunZun returned to the village.

The incessant magical booming from the mountain behind the village all night hinted at the trial's cruelty—but not really. It was just that Yoyo was too stubborn. Fenrir had resistance to lightning magic, yet she kept using it, knowing full well.

Countless lightning spells bombarded Fenrir all night until it finally died in the early morning, making ZunZun feel somewhat sorry for it.

Yoyo dragging the massive wolf monster back to the village, along with the proof of solo subjugation on her adventurer card, instantly made her the new darling of the Crimson Demon Clan.

"Chieftain! Chieftain! Chieftain!"

"As expected of Yoyo the Thunderclap! She can even single-handedly defeat a Fenrir comparable to a divine beast!"

"Today is a day worth celebrating! The strongest chieftain is born!"

The strongest chieftain wasn't an exaggeration; the previous Crimson Demon chieftain didn't have the ability to single-handedly deal with a divine beast... What needs to be emphasized here is that we're talking about the chieftain, not the entire Crimson Demon Clan.

In short, Yoyo becoming the Crimson Demon chieftain by passing the final trial was a foregone conclusion.

ZunZun had planned to send the exhausted Yoyo back to rest, then help the other Crimson Demons organize the celebratory festival venue, but he was eventually chased back. Under the threat of Yugou, he half-heartedly shared a bed with the sleeping Yoyo.

Speaking of which...

This was the first time he and Yoyo had shared a bed.

Usually, either Yoyo was shy, or Megumin would interfere. The two were clearly engaged, but there hadn't been much emotional growth in the past year.

After all, even though ZunZun could resist the temptations of other girls, he ate all the candied plums that Megumin offered, and he would also run off to other worlds every now and then to get intimate with other girls…

Wait, was it his fault?

Well, in that case, he should take on the responsibility of a fiancé and cultivate a good relationship with his fiancée.

—ZunZun said a lot of things to convince himself, then embraced the sleeping girl, and Yoyo seemed to find a reliable arm to sleep even more sweetly in.

They stayed in that position until evening.

"Ugh."

Yoyo slowly opened her eyes, and ZunZun, with a smile, greeted her.

"Good morning... Ah, should I say good evening instead?"

After all, Yoyo was a shy and conservative girl, the type who definitely wouldn't do anything excessive before marriage.

"I, I, I... !"

"Calm down, calm down, I didn't do anything."

ZunZun quickly explained when Yoyo was about to faint again. But he didn't know if it was his imagination, but he felt she was a little disappointed.

"Oh my, could it be that Yoyo wanted me to do something? Or do you like sleep play?"

"N-No... !"

"Yes, yes, I know, I know, so don't be shy."

"I, I don't mean that! If we're going to do it, I want to do it when I'm awake!"

The girl said this with a flushed face, almost shouting.

ZunZun looked at her in surprise.

"I don't remember raising Yoyo into such a perverted child!"

"I'm not raised by you! ...No, it should be that I was raised by ZunZun, right."

Yoyo changed her words again.

Under the covers, something was groping around, and soon a soft and slightly cool small hand wrapped around ZunZun's hand.

"Thank you, ZunZun."

"Hmm?"

"Because of you, I was able to persevere; because of you, I was able to move forward towards my goal without hesitation; because of you, I'm no longer afraid... Thank you, ZunZun."

"Yeah."

He embraced Yoyo again, and the two quietly enjoyed this brief moment of sweetness. But soon, ZunZun felt Yoyo in his arms getting hotter and hotter, her body temperature rising continuously.

"...Embarrassed?"

"I, I, I... !"

Looking at Yoyo, whose eyes were spinning, ZunZun smiled and released her hand.

He didn't feel disappointed or angry; on the contrary, he thought it was best this way.

If the two of them hadn't tasted the sweetness and bitterness of love, and entered the halls of marriage like an old married couple, it would be quite a pity.

Moreover, that kind of bland, uneventful relationship would likely be overshadowed—at least ZunZun didn't know if he could withstand the bold and passionate temptations of Megumin and Yugou.

Just as ZunZun released her hand, intending to let her go—

"No!"

Unexpectedly, Yoyo took the initiative to hold his hand, intertwining her fingers with his, and pulled him back onto the bed.

"Yoyo?"

"N-No... I... I have to work hard too!"

The girl seemed to have made some kind of determination, and then, unexpectedly, straddled him.

An unexpectedly bold act!

ZunZun stared at her in shock.

"Yoyo, what exactly are you…"

"I, I've decided! Once I become the chieftain, I'll definitely marry you, ZunZun! Megumin always says that I'm not decisive enough, and that my hesitation annoys her, so, so I'll take this opportunity…!"

This was probably all the courage she had in her lifetime?

He could see the look of forcing herself in Yoyo's red eyes, but even so, she wanted to do it, so how could ZunZun not support her?

"It's my first time, so please be gentle."

"...I say, ZunZun, although I'm not too sure, shouldn't that line usually be said by the girl?"

"Who told you that?"

"Yugou. She said that if you ever pinned her down, ZunZun, she'd say that."

That guy—

What kind of messy things is she instilling in the innocent Yoyo?

Then ZunZun saw Yoyo groping around on his body, not knowing what she was doing, and seeing Yoyo's flustered appearance, he couldn't help but ask.

"Should I do it?"

"...Please."

Having received permission, ZunZun rolled over, pushed the girl down onto the soft bed, and quickly broke through three barriers before she could react, revealing her fair and soft skin.

Yoyo subconsciously tried to cover herself, but after hesitating for a moment, she slowly released her hands.

"Is it okay, Yoyo?"

"...Yeah."

That's right, it should be like this.

Young men and women, after overcoming difficult trials and tribulations, had their long-held feelings burst forth in an instant, both unable to restrain the impulses that were like a volcanic eruption. It could be said that this was the influence of hormones, which would hinder an individual's judgment.

But so what?

ZunZun and Yoyo were engaged, weren't they? Under the circumstances that they were already adults and had achieved their long-cherished wishes, it was only reasonable for this to unfold, right?

Just as he leaned down, intending to kiss the shy girl with her eyes closed—

There was a sudden knock on the door.

Yoyo's body stiffened, ZunZun's body paused, but in the next second, he continued to probe downwards.

What a joke!

To come and interrupt at this time, was this some kind of dogshit light novel plot? Listen well, even ZunZun, a good-tempered Crimson Demon, would definitely not stop!

After spending a year with Kazuma Satou, ZunZun's thinking had been somewhat influenced.

But the door kept ringing.

"Yoyo? ...Yoyo! Are you awake? Yoyo! The Crimson Demon Clan's festival is about to start, everyone is waiting, what should we do, should we postpone it? It's such an anticipated festival."

Having said that, what else could they do?

These words were practically a critical hit to Yoyo, who was planning to bear the mantle of the Crimson Demon Clan chieftain. After seeing the girl's pleading look, ZunZun could only end things regretfully.

"F-Father!? I'm awake, wait a moment... I'll open the door now!"

"No need, it's good that you're awake. The festival is about to start, prepare quickly. By the way, Yoyo, do you know where ZunZun is? He doesn't seem to be at the venue."

"Eek!?"

Hearing that name, Yoyo froze, and ZunZun kept winking at her, but she stammered and couldn't say anything.

"T-This... That... I, I don't know where he is either…?"

There was silence outside the door.

"...Father?"

"ZunZun is in the room, right?"

"N-N-N-No... He's not!"

It was over.

Seeing the girl's panicked answer, ZunZun couldn't help but smack his forehead.

"Is that so, he's not here…咳咳, Then Yoyo, you prepare yourself, no need to rush, you are the star of the banquet this time. So, so…take your time!"

Yoyo, who thought she had managed to fool him, was about to breathe a sigh of relief when she heard her father say this, and even shouted as he ran out: "This is a great thing! Wonderful, we need to quickly prepare red bean rice!"

The old man who created the Crimson Demon Clan was a Japanese transmigrator, so he would prepare red bean rice when something good happened, and this custom has been passed down.

"ZunZun…"

"There's no helping it, let's just accept it."

He could only comfort the teary-eyed girl like this.

And before they got dressed and were about to leave.

"Oh right! I forgot to say!" ZunZun looked at his cute fiancée tilting her head and said with a smile: "Congratulations on passing the trial and becoming the next chieftain."

"Thank you."

Yoyo responded with a smile.

"ZunZun."

"Hmm?"

As ZunZun opened the door and was about to leave, Yoyo softly called his name, turned around, and the girl pounced into his arms.

Chuu—

"It's a thank you gift."

The bold Yoyo revealed a shy smile.

The girl's lips were surprisingly soft.

"Oh right, Yoyo, when you go out in a moment you should… Sorry, I seem to have disturbed you, I'll leave first, I won't bother you anymore."

ZunZun looked at the chieftain's back as he fled quickly, not understanding if he was doing it on purpose.

"Yoyo…"

"Please ignore me."

The girl squatted on the ground, hugging her knees while burying her face in her thighs, unable to see her expression, but her exposed ears were frighteningly red.

Would her repeated bold advances being interrupted by her father discourage her?
