A few days have passed since the battle to intercept the Mobile Fortress Destroyer.
On this day, the atmosphere in the Adventurer's Guild was extremely warm, and everyone looked at the guild staff with expectant eyes. Needless to say, you can already tell the reason just by looking at the warm atmosphere.
——The day when the bounty is distributed.
You must know that the Mobile Fortress Destroyer is a mobile natural disaster that has destroyed many towns and ruins. Many towns and ruins have been destroyed.
The kingdom that had been devastated by it naturally issued a high reward, hoping that someone could intercept or destroy it.
Originally, the bounty was solely reserved for Kobayashi, who intercepted the Destroyer alone, but when his speech with high emotional intelligence received unanimous praise, the credit also flowed through his fingers to other adventurers who were enjoying the show.
In other words, the adventurers who participated in the Battle of the Destroyer had bounties, which were regarded as rewards for the brave.
By the way, this was specifically requested by Kobayashi.
After all, eating alone will cause public outrage, and spreading the meager wealth will gain a good reputation. It goes without saying which one to choose.
The people in the team also looked with great anticipation at the guild staff distributing the bounty.
It's just that they are the main force, and they are used to giving out rewards at the end to make everyone cheer and cheer, so there is no point in being anxious.
During this period, Sato Kazuma suddenly said anxiously: "Where did Kobayashi-senpai and Darkness go?! The bounty will be distributed soon. What's wrong with his absence?!"
Aqua lay lazily on the table, not caring about the bounty at all, and said dullly: "The bounty can't escape, so there's no need to worry. By the way, can I buy a drink on credit first? Anyway, it'll be later. I’ll give you a reward.”
This guy said he was not in a hurry, but his actions went even further. She can talk about credit, she is worthy of being the goddess of debt.
Sato Kazuma despised Aqua the most.
Although he had to rely on Xiao Lin for food, drink and housing, he earned the money to go to the Succubus shop bit by bit, which was completely different from the lazy goddess sitting at home who only knew how to eat, drink and be a useless person every day!
But you can't talk about her yet, because the supporter behind Xiaolin who is in the limelight this time is Aqua.
This is the most infuriating thing.
Megumin tilted her head and asked doubtfully, "What's the rush? If Xiaolin doesn't come back by then, why don't you just go up and get it?"
"No, no, no, no matter how you think about it, it's impossible for me to go. Because at first glance, the meritorious service will be announced at the end. In addition to the bounty, there will definitely be other rewards. This is a common routine in the game, so it must be We need Senior Xiaolin to come in person."
Sato Kazuma, who is well versed in the second dimension, has a unique understanding. But after hearing what he said, Aqua nodded in approval, and even had some strange delusions.
"Do you think you will be awarded a knighthood?"
"It's possible! No, after all, I'm the hero who intercepted the Destroyer. What if I'm summoned by the king? Maybe he can recruit me to become a knight?"
"Think about it carefully, if I can use my banquet skills to impress the king..."
"You can stay at home without any worries!"
"Hehehehehehe..."
"Hohohohohoho..."
Sato Kazuma and Aqua were together, exuding an evil aura. It was hard to imagine that they were adventurers who had just saved Axel's novice village.
What's the difference between them and the Demon King's army? Did you promise to defeat the Demon King?
Megumin disdains being in cahoots with two scumbags. She is devoted to the Demon King...don't get me wrong, it's magical. Because her biggest goal in life is to use the ultimate explosion magic to defeat the Demon King so that she can spread her name as the strongest explosion magician.
At this time, Xiaolin and Darkness hurried over.
To be precise, it was Kobayashi who took Darkness's hand and dragged the perverted knight in who was hesitating in civilian clothes.
Sato Kazuma had sharp eyes and greeted them quickly after seeing them: "Senior Kobayashi, Darkness, you are finally here."
There are quite a lot of people in the Adventurer's Guild now, so it's difficult to get the team members together.
We can also see from the side how great a contribution it is to intercepting the Mobile Fortress Destroyer.
"Come on, come on, Darkness!"
In the doubtful eyes of others, Xiaolin brought Darkness to everyone, but there were inexplicable tears in the corners of the female knight's eyes, which inevitably made people wonder if she had been wronged in some way.
No, if you think about it carefully, a certain degree of grievance is actually a reward for her?
This strange idea came to Sato Kazuma's mind.
Xiaolin did not say hello to them, but looked at Darkness and asked, "You come for it? Or do I?"
"I...I'll tell you!"
Darkness closed her eyes as if she were a soldier about to go to war.
Several people became even more confused.
After a pause, Darkness finally said: "Everyone, it may be a little strange for me to say this now, but I want to thank you again. Thank you for protecting this town... I really, really thank you……!"
Wearing casual clothes, she smiled shyly.
I have to say, without being stupid, she looks like a noble lady, and both in appearance and temperament, she is top notch!
Sato Kazuma was startled and wondered: "What, what's wrong? Why is it so formal all of a sudden?"
Aqua also shrunk and said, "Yes, Darkness, something is very wrong with you. In that case, if we don't protect the town, everyone will go to heaven. There is nothing we can do."
Megumin asked with more simple concern: "Darkness, are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
"No, not really, I just want to thank you sincerely." Darkness shook her head.
It looked like she was actually expressing her gratitude.
Sato Kazuma, who was relieved, responded and said, "So, you look particularly handsome this time."
The nature of adventurers is to brag to each other, and he should also praise the knights in his team.
Not to mention Darkness is indeed brave.
Recalling the handsome appearance of the other party who did not take a step back when facing the Destroyer, he really had the demeanor and style of a knight.
"Yes, yes, very handsome!"
"Darkness also made a contribution!"
Aqua and Megumin also hurriedly filled in.
Darkness scratched her cheek in embarrassment, tilted her head slightly and did not dare to look at the crowd, and said shyly in a low voice: "Yes, really..."
"But he is also the least expressive one." Sato Kazuma's poisonous tongue arrived late.
Hearing his words, Darkness kept turning her head and trembled.
Aqua also took advantage of the situation and said: "So, Darkness only stood in front of the town this time - you know, I worked very hard! The mecha that Xiaolin is driving was modified by me, and it also heals We killed many injured adventurers."
Darkness trembled again after hearing this.
Megumin sighed and said, "I'm of no use, I just watch."
Just when a certain useless knight thought she had a companion, Sato Kazuma took the credit for her and reminded: "No, no, no, Megumin, have you forgotten? When making traps on the plain, you used your explosion magic, and When the wreckage of the Destroyer landed, you destroyed it with explosion magic."
"Oh, I see."
Megumin suddenly realized.
There was no ill intention at first, but Daknis trembled after hearing this.
"In this case, Mr. Kazuma's performance is particularly outstanding! When the Destroyer fell from the sky, he was able to direct all the adventurers to evacuate in time without letting them run around."
Wiz, who didn't know when he came here, said this without any malice.
It seemed that Darkness couldn't bear it anymore, so she covered her face with her hands.
"Miss Wisz was even more powerful. She cast a super large protective shield. Although it did not cover the entire town, it still blocked the first wave of debris rain, allowing Kazuma to counterattack.
Should come over. I have to say, even I don't have that strong magic power. "
Megumin cherishes Wiz, who is also a great mage. Although she has no idea of releasing explosive magic together and becoming close friends, Megumin admits that Wiz is the strongest in Axel's novice village in terms of magic power!
Darkness trembled again.
Aqua suddenly came forward with force and shouted: "Wait, wait! The most powerful one is Krillin! He piloted my modified mecha and intercepted the Destroyer alone. The MVP should be Krillin, right?"
"Yes, you are right."
Everyone agreed.
After hearing what she said, Darkness, who covered her face with her hands, finally started to tremble slightly.
Sato Kazuma looked at her sideways and said teasingly: "...So, a cross knight who clamored to protect the town and acted willful for a long time, what did you do?"
"This, this is... what a new feeling is this!... Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah-!"
Tricking Darkness, his face turned red, and he covered his face and squatted down on the spot.
Can you imagine that?
Talking about making a contribution, but in the end it is just lip service. This is the so-called dwarf who acts like a giant with lip service.
And this feeling is called shame.
But there was no time for her to enjoy this novel experience, and there was even more unacceptable shame waiting for her.
Pat her back.
"Xiao Lin..."
Darkness looked at him with tears in her eyes. She thought she would be comforted by the noble daughter, but she saw the smile of the man in front of her who was obviously kind, but in her eyes was completely devilish.
"Darkness, you seem to have forgotten something."
"……Eh?"
"Your name and identity."
If she thought she could escape in this way, it could only be said that she was too naive.
Xiao Lin smiled and said: "If you find it difficult to express your feelings now, I can do it for you. After all, I am not a devil."
"X-Xiao Lin..."
The kind eyes lurked immense malice, turning into several tentacles that tied her tightly to death, constantly eroding and playing with her body.
Lying on the ground, Darkness said unwillingly: "Gu...kill me."
Go kill?
It's hard not to suspect that she did it on purpose.
Seeing that she was resisting, Sato Kazuma asked curiously: "Senior Kobayashi, I have been feeling strange since just now. Something is wrong with Darkness. What happened to her?"
"Yeah, Darkness, are you okay?"
Aqua even released healing magic for her, which made Wiz, who had no time to dodge, so happy that he almost ascended to the sky.
Well, physics ascends to heaven.
Seeing her resistance, Xiao Lin blamed her: "Look, they are all worried, please tell her quickly."
"I-I know!"
Darkness closed her eyes as if resigned to her fate, then took a deep breath and made up her mind, saying word by word: "I am actually the daughter of a nobleman."
After speaking, she carefully stared at the expressions of everyone in the team.
Darkness has always hidden her identity because she is afraid of estrangement, a gap in identity, and she does not want to destroy the peaceful and harmonious atmosphere of the team.
But it seems that can only go so far.
However--
Sato Kazuma smacked his tongue in disgust at first, then exhaled helplessly, lowered his head and said to her respectfully: "Yes, I understand, Miss Darkness, I don't know what your orders are. Do you want to eat or take a bath? , or maybe a little leather whip to serve you?"
This was a misunderstanding that Darkness was playing a nobleman's game. He was kind-hearted and even pretended to be his companion's servant to satisfy his companion's addiction to young ladies.
It's just that the last sentence didn't sound so friendly.
Megumin became even more worried and asked with concern: "Daknis, are you also sick? Are you suffering from the same disease as Aqua, where you always feel like you are the goddess of water?"
"Wait a minute, Megumin! What did you say?
What's the meaning? She is originally the goddess of water, okay? "
Aqua suddenly yelled.
But she got a more sympathetic look from Megumin. Maybe in her opinion, Aqua liked role-playing as much as she did, but she was just immersed in it and couldn't extricate herself.
Now, Darkness is the same.
Darkness knew they wouldn't believe it, so she said in a serious voice, "Everyone, I am really the daughter of a nobleman."
"Ah, yes, yes."
Sato Kazuma nodded perfunctorily.
Darkness became anxious and said, "I am the daughter of the Dustiness family, a great noble known as the [Kingdom's Sword]. My real name is Dustiness Ford Lalatina!"
"Did you even make up the name? Also, don't borrow the name of a nobleman casually. It's better to make up another one."
Senior chuunibyou Megumin thinks her condition is getting worse and gives her a better suggestion.
Murder and heart-wrenching!
Pure murder and heartbreaking!
Darkness turned around and grabbed Xiaolin's shoulders with both hands. She was excited and full of doubts: "What's going on? What's going on?! Although I feel ashamed of my real name, what's the matter with not being believed? ? This feeling is completely different from what I experienced before!"
"Maybe it's because you don't look like the daughter of a nobleman. You see, Aqua does too."
Kobayashi used Aqua as an example.
The high priest next to her was obviously a real goddess, but she was not recognized by everyone because she was too idiotic.
It's so miserable.
Naturally, Aqua protested loudly against this example, shouting that she wanted Xiaolin to apologize to her.
But there is no time to talk to her now.
Xiaolin coughed lightly and said, "Everyone, what Darkness said just now is true. She is really the daughter of a nobleman."
"Hahaha, how is it possible? How can someone like Darkness be the daughter of a noble family..."
Sato Kazuma waved his hands, not believing it at all. But when he saw that Xiao Lin was serious and not joking, he felt bad.
"real?"
"real."
…
…
"Hey————!!!" X3
After a brief silence, an astonishing scream of surprise erupted from the corner of the guild, even overshadowing the noisy guild for a time.
