#259 - I forgot the beginning, the middle, and the end, but it’s a secret recipe! Spicy!

Chapter 259: I forgot the beginning, I forgot the middle, I forgot the end, but in short—secret recipe! Spicy!

Zun Zun still underestimated the White Whale's health points.

Having exhausted all his magic, he dragged his heavy and tired steps, inching from the tail to the heart.

The White Whale is a living creature, and as such, it inevitably possesses the will to survive. In its final moments, it slightly shifted its position, causing its body to be split in two, but its heart remained undamaged.

Zun Zun didn't know if it could regenerate again.

Of course, he didn't want to test it either.

The beating giant heart was strong and powerful. It was precisely this powerful heart that allowed the White Whale to soar in the sky. The heart, originally protected by thick flesh, was now completely exposed.

"Drink!"

He plunged his hand into the White Whale's heart, and hot blood poured down, turning Zun Zun into a blood-soaked figure. A powerful squeezing sensation followed, as if trying to expel the foreign object.

He condensed the last bit of magic into a cherry.

"—I'm gonna explode!"

With a bang, the White Whale's heart was completely shattered, and minced meat flew everywhere.

The street, which had been strangely quiet since just now, now erupted in enthusiastic cheers. The members of the subjugation squad and the mercenary团 raised the weapons in their hands, the moonlight constantly changing, the glittering scenery was also a beautiful sight.

The White Whale's huge body lay on the plain, and the group of people surrounding it was infected with fanaticism.

Everyone rejoiced for the victory and were moved to tears by the fulfillment of their long-cherished wish.

Zun Zun plopped down on the grass paved with flesh and blood, then, without caring about the dirtiness, he slumped down on the ground, looking up at the bright moon in the sky.

Not good, it feels so good!

He had to admit that if he had encountered the White Whale alone, he would never have won, even if he knew its mechanics. Putting aside the mechanics, just the extent of its thick skin and toughness made it difficult to kill. Even Elsa would have her legs weakened and fall to the ground, calling it Big Brother.

"—Zun Zun! Hey, Zun Zun!"

Spoiling the afterglow of victory was Natsuki Subaru, who was constantly shouting at the top of his lungs, riding a ground dragon back and forth on the White Whale's corpse.

"Zun Zun, where are you!?"

"Master Zun Zun—! Master Zun Zun—!"

Not only him, but also Frederica and Rem, all three anxiously shouting Zun Zun's name.

If he accidentally died here, would Natsuki Subaru rewind for him like he desperately did for Rem? … No, that shouldn't be possible.

Zun Zun shook his head.

Already without the strength to shout, he stretched out a finger and condensed the last bit of magic.

A bright lightning flashed and disappeared.

Although it was fast, it was enough. Any unnatural light under the moonlight would attract attention. Natsuki Subaru keenly noticed this and led the two girls towards the light source. When he saw Zun Zun at the heart, Natsuki Subaru covered his nose and yelled.

"—Whoa! Why did you make yourself so miserable!"

"This is necessary."

It was no exaggeration to call it a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.

The White Whale's huge corpse surrounded Zun Zun, and he was soaked in a sea of blood. If this were a xuanhuan novel, he would probably be regarded as an invincible great demon.

"Come on, let's go back."

"…Did you say the prince wants you to get in the car."

"It's a hero. Come on, hero, get in the car. This time it's your victory. As you wished, you've made a great splash?"

"Yeah, it feels great."

Zun Zun grasped the hand that Natsuki Subaru offered, and with Frederica's support, he managed to ride on the ground dragon and ran towards the camp set up under the Sage Tree.

Thanks to his intervention, the Sage Tree did not fall.

Crusch and others were gathering there.

Everyone worked together to defeat the evil magical beast, the story had a happy ending—reality wouldn't end so simply, only fairy tales could have such an ending. After the happy ending, there were still endless things that had to be done.

Treating the surviving injured.

Burying the dead who left behind bones.

Exploring the traces of the dead who did not leave behind bones.

At this time, it seemed particularly suitable for a certain Naruto-style—I forgot the beginning, I forgot the middle, I forgot the end, but in short, the rear personnel had more things to consider.

"Are you safe, Zun Zun?"

When Zun Zun returned to the camp, Crusch walked up quickly. Although she was stained with blood and mud, her upright posture was still very beautiful.

She was a beautiful woman who had not lost her noble sentiments, and a natural afterglow still drifted in the war, perfectly embodying the word Valkyrie.

Just like the rumors.

However, rumors were just rumors after all. Whether they were exaggerations or indeed true, it was still better to confirm with one's own eyes. At least in this battle, Zun Zun recognized her.

He raised his thumb and grinned.

Crusch breathed a sigh of relief. She was really concerned about Zun Zun, after all, his identity was really sensitive.

Although she wouldn't stop Zun Zun's decision, if an accident really happened, she, as the commander, would be to blame… Maybe she would be blamed by the elders of the Council of Sages.

"It's great that Miss Crusch is also safe."

"That's me. The losses of the subjugation squad and the mercenary团 are definitely not small. Even if the White Whale is eliminated, the things that disappeared will not come back."

Her eyes showed a hint of sorrow.

This was the terrifying thing about the White Whale. Once swallowed by the fog, not to mention the corpse, even the name and existence would be erased from memory.

"However, Zun Zun's spirited figure, I have truly seen it in my eyes."

"How does it feel?"

"Very handsome!"

"Hmm! You can praise me more."

Zun Zun's complacent expression made Crusch couldn't help but smile. She seemed to have discovered another side of the person in front of her.

"He's really handsome; I'm completely smitten."

"Hmm."

"…Just kidding."

"Miss Crusch certainly knows how to joke…"

Crusch immediately diffused the awkward atmosphere with ease, and even Zunzun's slightly stiff expression melted away. Subaru Natsuki and Rem covered their mouths beside them.

"—There's something going on!" X 2

"There's no 'something going on' at all. It's just that Miss Crusch, as a commander, appreciates me!…Right, Miss Crusch?"

"Who knows?"

She said ambiguously, seemingly trying to cause misunderstandings on purpose.

"Oh dear, a handsome figure is sure to attract others, right, Rem?"

"Yes! Subaru-kun's handsome figure just now completely captivated Rem!"

The two were singing the same tune.

Honestly, Subaru Natsuki should just forget about Emilia and live happily with Rem.

"I, I think so too. Zunzun-sama was really handsome just now!"

The newest chapters are first released on 69shuba!

"…Fram, you don't have to force yourself."

"Huh? No! I'm being sincere!"

"I know you're being sincere, but you don't have to be sincere right now."

The naive maid mistakenly thought she was supposed to praise Zunzun now. Actually, she did think Zunzun was handsome, but that wasn't what was intended.

The group laughed heartily.

The tension from the battle vanished.

Subaru Natsuki suddenly saw a group of people surrounding the White Whale, gesturing and seemingly not knowing what they were doing.

"What are they doing?"

"We have to transport the White Whale's corpse. It's our spoils of war. Precisely because it's after the battle, we can't be idle."

"Transport that huge corpse?"

Subaru Natsuki suspected he had misheard, but Crusch's attitude didn't change. Looking closely again at the White Whale's corpse, which was no different from a small white mountain.

"No, no, no, it's impossible, right?"

"'Impossible' is not an excuse. It has been a threat roaming the world's skies for four hundred years, so its corpse is ironclad proof that can reassure people. We must bring it back no matter what…even if it's just the head."

Crusch insisted repeatedly.

If it were someone else, one couldn't help but suspect if they wanted to prioritize showing off their achievements, but Crusch didn't need to be suspected. She would definitely not shamelessly covet the hero who shot down the White Whale—Zunzun's merit.

Subaru Natsuki and Crusch both looked at Zunzun.

They didn't speak, and Zunzun also fell into contemplation. Just as they were about to say that wasn't what they meant—

"I want to eat the belly meat."

"I collapse!"

"Zunzun, you really are extraordinary…"

Subaru Natsuki and Crusch were completely speechless.

They thought Zunzun would also think of this point and have some misgivings, but who would have thought that he would ask to eat the White Whale as soon as he opened his mouth.

"I say, are you really planning to eat it?"

"What are you talking about, Subaru? The White Whale was created to be eaten. How can we not taste it? In short, hot pot, barbecue, spicy! Fram, prepare the tools!"

"Yes, Zunzun-sama!"

Zunzun drooled as he instructed the maid to find cooking tools, while the others were completely speechless at Zunzun's gluttony.

"I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about the merit of the White Whale…!"

"Forgot about it. As the one with the greatest contribution this time, I have the right to choose the spoils of war first, right?"

"Of course."

Crusch didn't think Zunzun's request was excessive. On the contrary, it was very normal.

"Regardless of honor or merit, I will let the Karsten family…"

"Ah, then I want all the belly meat."

"…What?"

"Felt that guy said he also wants to eat White Whale, so just bring this back."

Crusch, who had been talking eloquently, was instantly speechless. What she had been thinking about just now were political matters. Whether it was honor or merit, it could be said to be a great help in ascending the throne, but Zunzun didn't want any of that at all, and even—

"What's wrong? Is the request too much? Forget it, half is also acceptable. Felt that guy can't eat much anyway."

"You guys really are…"

Subaru Natsuki also felt quite speechless.

After a brief moment of astonishment, Crusch sighed and said, "I'm suddenly a little envious of Felt."

Zunzun certainly knew what she wanted to say, but unfortunately, he didn't plan to stay in this world for too long, nor did he want to become a king. Therefore, he rejected all merits and achievements.

Soon, Wilhelm and Ricardo also arrived, very happy to see that Zunzun was safe and sound.

Afterwards, Crusch was about to return to the royal capital after recovering the White Whale's head. She kindly left half of her soldiers to follow Subaru Natsuki and the others to Roswaal's territory.

Including Wilhelm and Felix, there were a total of twenty-four members in the subjugation team.

Including Mimi, Hetaro, and Ricardo, there were about ten members of the Iron Fang mercenary group.

Less than forty people to deal with the Witch Cult was somewhat uneasy.

But Ricardo said that the other half of the Iron Fang mercenary group would arrive soon.

When Subaru Natsuki saw the handsome, purple-haired youth riding a blue earth dragon at the head, his expression instantly changed from joy to disgust, and he questioned unhappily:

"Why is it you!"

"Facing reinforcements, that's a very excessive way of speaking. You're still the same as ever."

The person who came was Julius, with whom he had a grudge.
