The next day.
Everyone gathered in the living room early in the morning.
The space that used to be relatively spacious seemed a bit crowded with ten people gathered here, and it felt like it had transformed from a team into an organization.
"Well...my head hurts."
On the sofa, a hungover Hestia leaned against Bell with an uncomfortable look on her face.
She stayed with him to the end of last night's drinking party. She drank just a little more wine than Aqua, so it was inevitable that it would turn out like this.
"But why is Aqua okay?" The twin-tailed loli looked at a certain blue-haired goddess in confusion.
"Huh huh." Aqua smiled proudly and said proudly: "Because I am the goddess of water, just bubble wine can't make me hangover!"
"This idiot's constitution is such that any liquid he touches will turn into pure water, and bubble wine is no exception. Really, if that's the case, why waste money on drinking."
"Idiot Kazuma, what did you say?!"
Sato Kazuma unceremoniously broke down the situation, completely ignoring the feelings of his companions, which made the stupid goddess complain for a while.
When Hestia heard that the other party was capable of cheating, she couldn't help but mutter: "This physique is really cunning!"
"Humph, there's nothing I can do about it. This is the power of this goddess." Aqua raised her nose and said proudly, "In this way, I can surpass Hestia in terms of drinking capacity!"
"Wait, wait! I don't agree with this point of view! Since Aqua has that system and is still drunk in the end, no matter how you look at it, my drinking capacity is better!"
"Well……"
Hestia's words left Aqua speechless.
It's really strange to say that she is a goddess with the ability to purify water, but she still gets drunk from wine. It's quite strange.
"Okay, everyone is here."
Xiao Lin looked around and saw that no one was absent.
And except for Hestia, everyone else looked full of energy and seemed to have had enough energy for today's mission.
"That being said, what should we do?"
Sato Kazuma asked, causing others to look at Xiaolin in unison.
"Yes……"
Xiao Lin thought for a moment and said, "As expected, I need to make some preparations first."
The Flash Running Lizard not only has the ability to distort time and space, but is also incredibly fast, so you'd better be prepared if you want to catch it.
In other words, outside help is needed.
"I see, is that why you came here specially?" Sato Kazuma looked at the exquisite cabin in front of him and couldn't help but nodded.
Hestia read out the sign outside the shop.
"——Witz Magic Tool Shop?"
"That's right. This is a magic tool shop that has a cooperative relationship with our team. Although the things sold in the shop are strange, they are quite useful if used properly."
Sato Kazuma's twist that had no cause and effect left Hestia and others puzzled.
Push the door open and enter.
After the bell rang, gentle greetings followed.
"Welcome!...Hey, Xiaolin, long time no see."
"Hey, Wiz, long time no see."
Xiao Lin said hello to her.
Then this lich lady with a broad mind ran over from behind the counter with great enthusiasm.
duang~duang~duang~
The fruit, which was about to escape gravity and jump up and down randomly, occupied everyone's attention.
Aisi's eyes narrowed and she said, "So strong."
Bell also said: "It's very strong."
Kazuma Sato stared closely at Wiz's chest and nodded in agreement: "Right, sometimes I wonder if it's too strong."
...You'd better talk about strength, not anything else.
It is natural for Wiz to be so enthusiastic. After all, Xiaolin is a big customer. Not only can he help the store become famous, but he can also avoid the miserable life of drinking sugar water and eating vegetables every day. To her, he is the most important person.
"Hey, where's Barnier?"
"Oh, is someone calling me? It seems I'm back at the right time!"
Just as Xiao Lin was curious, Barnier walked in from outside. The smile on his face made people wonder if he had seen the future and came back specially to entertain Xiao Lin.
"Ohhhhhh, ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, but ohhhhhhhh"
At this time, he saw Bell and Ais and couldn't help but get closer. And he kept uttering unexplained sighs, which made the two of them a little uncomfortable.
It seemed that he was too close. Bell leaned back slightly and said, "Well, um, what's wrong?"
"No, it's nothing. I just think the guest is a little special."
Barnier shook his head pretending to be mysterious.
This masked demon definitely saw something. Even though I know it's so appetizing, I have to say it's really disgusting.
Hestia quickly protected Bell behind her, preventing Barnier from approaching again, and said angrily: "Stay away! Although I don't know what you are, I feel it is very dangerous, and you are absolutely not allowed to get close to Bell. !”
"He's a shit devil!"
Aqua also unmasked him unceremoniously.
"Hey, how rude!" Barnier turned to look at Aqua and shouted: "What are you doing here, you idiot? Get out of here quickly, you are not welcome here!"
"What did you say? If you have the guts to say it again!"
"Leave immediately!"
"Ah! You really said it!"
The devil and the goddess, the two people who can't deal with each other start to quarrel as soon as they meet.
This is also normal.
Ais asked curiously: "What does devil... mean?"
"Devils are demons. They are similar to the bad guys in Heroes' Tales, and they are existences that harm humanity. By the way, my job is to be a hero, and in Heroes' Tales I am a hero-like character."
"That's right..."
Bell nodded.
If it was just a dry explanation, they would be as ignorant as a succubus, but if they were transformed into a hero story character, they would understand quickly.
But Bell discovered another problem: "Hey, if you put it this way, why do demons live with humans, and..."
"You want to say, why am I not hostile to Barnier and Wiz." Xiaolin said hesitantly and gave an explanation: "Because they have not done anything bad."
Just like a [heretic].
They have never done anything to harm humans, so Xiaolin tolerates and helps those existences, which is the so-called [not divided by race, but measured by good and evil].
Aisi nodded in understanding.
Xiao Lin has repeatedly emphasized to her that he is from a different world. Because he comes into contact with different things, his inner thoughts are different. This is probably because of this.
She seemed to understand Xiao Lin.
"Okay, the small talk is over."
Xiao Lin stopped the demon and goddess who were still hostile and explained his purpose.
After hearing this, Barnier introduced a magic tool to them.
"Guest, please look at this! This is a magic rein. As long as you throw it, it will definitely hit! But there is only one small drawback, that is, the maximum range is 15 meters, but in exchange, as long as you hit the target, you will not be able to escape no matter how you try. It will be loosened unless the code word is spoken! How about it, if I buy it now, it only costs 20W Eris! I don’t know, guest, are you interested?"
His smiling expression seemed to convince them. Although the smile is a bit disgusting, I have to say that this rein works very well, and Xiaolin bought it very simply.
After leaving the magic tool shop.
Sato Kazuma asked: "We have the reins now, shall we catch the Flash Running Lizard now?"
Xiao Lin said: "No, go to the guild first and see if there is any information there. You can't go looking for it like a headless fly."
Then the group rushed to the guild.
Axel's Adventurer's Guild is not as good as the Adventurer's Guild in Labyrinth City, but there are still crouching tigers, hidden dragons, and many adventurers are terrifyingly powerful. Especially the strength of Dast, Yu Jian Xiangye and others cannot be underestimated.
Sword Girl Ais stared at a few of them and said, "So strong."
Bell also echoed: "It's very strong."
Sato Kazuma stared at Luna who was entertaining Xiaolin at the counter, or to be precise, her broad mind, and said, "Right, I think she's very strong too, even better than Wiz."
...You kid is really insufferable.
Xiao Lin happened to come back and heard him say dirty words, so he gave him a blow with a knife.
When Sato Kazuma cried out in pain, Kobayashi said: "Let's go, the guild has no information. It seems that no one else has seen the Flash Running Lizard. I think it is probably still staying in the plain where Bell and others fell from the sky."
Then the party rushed to the plain again.
Looking at the empty plain, Bell couldn't help but ask: "Will the Flash Running Lizard really be there?"
"I can't think of any other possible locations."
Sato Kazuma replied.
"Compared to that." Megumin pointed at Aqua and Darkness and said, "What's wrong with your two clothes?"
I saw only the two of them, but they changed their clothes at some point. And they were not ordinary clothes, but clothes exactly like those of Hestia and Ais.
It looks a little strange.
Aqua said with a smile: "Are you talking about this? Because Hestia's clothes were dirty, I made a similar set for her, and then I got interested in doing it... so I made my own. , I also made a set for Darkness by the way. Look, don’t Ais and Darkness look a bit alike? For example, their hair color and so on.”
"When Aqua brought the clothes over, I was shocked to see how beautiful the finished product was. She is indeed my friend."
Hestia gave Aqua high praise.
After all, she is Aqua. Apart from her duties as a goddess, the idiot goddess can do everything else perfectly. She can also make just two or three pieces of clothing perfectly.
As for clothes, Aqua and Hestia didn't have much other than the same clothes.
But Darkness was different from Ais.
Two people with the same blond hair and the same tall figure looked like sisters standing side by side while wearing the same clothes.
Well, the plump Darkness is the older sister, and the slender Ace is the younger sister.
Darkness tugged at the corner of her clothes and said slightly shyly: "Is this outfit a little too revealing?"
"Will it be exposed?"
Ais was slightly confused.
Her suit was specially customized to maximize her strength.
If anything is exposed, it's the back that's not covered. It's a pity not to cup the snow-white skin.
"Darkness, you can always wear this outfit from now on."
Xiao Lin gave a thumbs up.
Darkness' transformation from heavy armor to light half-kai is really quite interesting.
In particular, Aqua also perfectly restored the gap in her chest, giving her a sense of familiarity.
Megumin, who was left behind, was a little disappointed and said: "Wearing the same style of clothes makes people a little envious. If I had known, I would have asked Aqua to help me make the same style of clothes as Lililuka. Ah! Or make one It would be nice to wear the same clothes as mine for Lily Ruka! Your eye patch will definitely look good!"
The chuunibyou girl thinks that the eye patch is the unique feature, and highly recommends the little human girl to try it.
"Clothes are fine, but blindfolds are not needed..."
Lily reluctantly refused.
Suddenly, several black shadows flashed out from the grass on the edge of the plain, making a deafening roar towards the group of people.
"Hooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh!!!"
"Is that...a new killer group?"
Sato Kazuma was surprised.
Bell was also surprised: "A group of monsters are coming? This is obviously not a dungeon..."
Ais pointed out to him: "Don't worry, even outside the dungeon, the basic focus of the battle remains the same. Just keep your field of vision wide and don't create blind spots."
"that's right."
Xiao Lin agreed.
Then he looked at Ais and nodded.
"Wake up!" X2
The two turned into a green whirlwind, and with the support of others, they easily destroyed the monsters.
Seeing that the danger was over, Sato Kazuma wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said: "Although there are many of us, the battle is easier than usual. It's all thanks to the support of Lily Ruka, as well as Kobayashi-senpai and Miss Ais. attack."
"Hey - I can use support magic too!"
"And me! The timing of using explosion magic is very important, so I defended from beginning to end. It can be said to be a strategy!"
"I, I haven't waited to take action yet..."
Hearing what he said, Aqua, Megumin and Yuyu quickly defended themselves.
Darkness also defended himself: "I-I think I'm very competent as a shield!"
"But you're still the same, and your attacks can't hit you at all." Sato Kazuma sighed helplessly.
Looking at it this way, except for Xiaolin and Yuyou, the two teams including him are in sharp contrast.
"Well!!"
Darkness' face was full of reluctance.
Seeing this, Ais came to her and said: "Um... Darkness, can I give you some advice? You may be swinging the sword a little too hard, try to follow my movements."
After saying that, he swung his sword dexterously.
Darkness followed suit and waved her sword.
"is that so……?"
"Right, that is it."
Ace nodded.
Although I can't see any improvement, at least the movements are quite decent.
Upon seeing this, Sato Kazuma immediately mocked: "No, no, no, don't be ridiculous. How could Darkness's attack be able to hit with just a little pointing -"
"Hooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh!!!"
Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the roar of the monster. It turns out that another monster has appeared, and it is still a new killer.
Sato Kazuma was surprised: "Is there any remnant of the monster just now?"
"You came just in time." Ais said to Darkness: "Try swinging your sword at that monster in the same way."
"I-I know...drink!"
Darkness swung the knight sword in his hand, and under the watchful eyes of everyone, he successfully hit the rookie killer, and it was a fatal blow.
"Hit, hit?!" X4
Aqua, Sato Kazuma, Megumin, and Yuyu looked at the female knight in front of them in disbelief.
It is obvious that the attack has never hit, but it is just a simple guide. It is too exaggerated to be able to successfully hit and defeat the monster!
As if confirming something, Aisi nodded and said, "Well, it seems that you did use a little too much force."
"Did you see it, Kazuma! My sword attack hit a monster!"
"Hey, hey, no way! Darkness couldn't even brush his sides before...!"
Darkness cheered at Sato Kazuma, who didn't trust him, while the man who had been sarcastic just now had a look of disbelief on his face.
Lily said: "Lady Ais's swordsmanship is second to none in Labyrinth City. This may be due to her precise guidance."
"As expected of Miss Ais."
Bell flattered.
"As expected of Miss Ais... This reason alone doesn't make sense, right?!" Sato Kazuma turned to look at Kobayashi and asked, "Senior Kobayashi! Can such a thing really be done?!"
"Can you do it? Haven't you already seen it?"
To be honest, Xiao Lin was a little surprised, but it was useless not to admit it when the facts were in front of him.
Hestia said: "Maybe this has something to do with us coming to this world. For example, the power of Miss Warren affected Darkness who was wearing the same clothes...?"
"It's unbelievable."
Megumin sighed as she looked at Darkness showing off her power.
No, no, no, how can this make sense?
Sato Kazuma shook his head.
No matter what, he would not believe such a nonsensical setting!
But Darkness still kept swinging her sword, and hit the target every time. She couldn't help but blush and said excitedly: "Oh my God! It's so amazing! Monsters fell under my sword one after another!"
This must be the first time in her history that she has hit an enemy with her own will.
That kind of pleasure...
I'm sorry, Xiaolin really can't understand.
Ais continued to point out: "Darkness, your elbows are too wide again. If you are not careful, your attack will miss."
"Yes! Master Aisi, please give me your advice!"
With simple guidance, Darkness has already worshiped Ace as her master.
Seeing Xiaolin's somewhat silent look, Youyou couldn't help but curiously asked: "Darkness's attack can hit. Doesn't Mr. Xiaolin look very happy?"
"Because Darkness's cuteness is that her attacks miss. If we abandon this, she will only have the meager attributes of a perverted female knight."
"……Huh?"
Xiaolin's words were too profound, and simple Youyou couldn't understand them at all.
Aqua persuaded, "Isn't this great? Darkness seems to be very happy too."
"That's right, and this is a good opportunity. Let her defeat all the monsters on the way to the destination."
Sato Kazuma had already regarded the female knight as free labor. Xiaolin looked at Darkness who was overjoyed and had no choice but to nod in agreement.
