"Xiao Lin Xiao Lin, let's go on a mission!"
Early in the morning, a certain perverted knight approached him, clamoring to do some difficult tasks.
This has been going on for several days.
Ever since Ace taught her how to fight and be able to successfully attack the enemy, Darkness has been particularly keen on doing missions. She was also told that it would be better to do the mission by herself, but the female knight, who regards the bond of companionship as her highest rule, insisted that everyone go together.
"Xiao Lin, just promise her."
"Aqua?"
"It just so happens that the team is out of money. It would be good to do some tasks to earn some living expenses."
Look at that, the stupid goddess has completely regarded the female knight as a useful money-making tool.
Although Darkness has exaggerated physical strength, great strength, and is resistant to roughness, making him a good toy... ahem, and an excellent teammate, Krillin will not do such extreme things.
But it's not just Aqua, Megumin, Sato Kazuma and Yuyu are also looking forward to doing the mission.
"Okay, okay, let's go do the mission."
"Xiao Lin, did you agree?"
"That's what you all asked for...and don't think of me as a loser who doesn't want to work like you, okay? You should also know the reason why I don't want to do the task!"
Xiao Lin glared at Aqua with some displeasure.
Because Liu Zi is not around for the time being.
Xiao Lin, who has regarded her as an inseparable part of himself, feels so uncomfortable when Liu Zi is not by his side.
In addition, Aqua and the others are a group of problem children, and there are so many of them that if an accident occurs, he may not be able to handle it.
As for the reason for Liu Zi’s absence?
The reason is still the stupid goddess in front of me.
After returning from the world of "Skilled Girls", Kobayashi made a deal with Hanayusai Glass to obtain a special magic circuit. However, because Ryuzu is too precise and complicated, even the first person in the world of bionic dolls, Hanayusai Glass, could not successfully install the magic circuit in Ryuzu's body.
Until he returned to "Su Qing" and asked Aqua to think of something.
After three months, she finally made it.
The magic circuit was successfully installed in Liu Zi's body, just because the circuit needed to be re-adjusted.
In the words of Huayushai Glass, it is to soak the heart and let the blood flow into it.
The words were esoteric, obscure, and meaning unclear, but Kobayashi knew he just had to wait.
"Forget it, since you are looking forward to it so much, let's go do the mission."
“Oh————!!!”xN
The group walked out of the mansion.
When I came to the guild, I found that there were not as many people as I thought. Not only the adventurers who were preparing for the mission, but also Daxter, who had been hanging out in the guild as a gangster, was not here.
Aqua was the first to speak: "It's strange, why is there no one?"
Hui Hui asked: "Is there any activity today?"
Youyou echoed: "Festival?"
"No, I haven't heard about this. And if it's a festival, it shouldn't be deserted, it should be lively." Darkness spoke up.
Everyone was talking to each other, speculating back and forth in the center of the guild. It's like coming to a strange place and seeing a strange detective, trying to find out the truth from some clues.
Only Sato Kazuma, who didn't like to use his brain, or was the fastest to use his brain, said to the point: "You guys, if you have the time to think randomly here, how about you go directly to the counter and ask Miss Luna? Right, Kobayashi-senpai."
"Uh-huh!"
"Senior Xiaolin, could it be..."
"No, no, I just think this can diversify our thinking and exercise everyone's abilities. That's right, that's all!"
"Yes, you can definitely get some exercise!"
Sato Kazuma didn't care at all about Kobayashi's lame excuse, or in other words, he realized it and chose to ignore it. He raised his thumb and firmly agreed with Kobayashi's words.
"Kazuma?"
"Idiot Kazuma."
"Mr. Kazuma..."
Aqua and others were extremely disappointed with Sato Kazuma, who was fawning over Kobayashi, and chose to stay away from him in disgust, which made the man almost explode.
Then came to the counter.
The guild's most popular staff member greeted them warmly after seeing them.
"Welcome, do you need anything?"
"Miss Luna, why is the guild so deserted today? Did something happen?"
"Ah, well..."
As she slowly explained, everyone understood what happened.
To put it simply, the lord of the next town lost a treasure and issued a mission out of anger. Whoever caught the thief would be rewarded with a large amount of money, and it would also give them the opportunity to go on a blind date with his daughter.
A lot of money must be brave, so the energetic adventurers went to the next town to catch the thieves.
"How about it, Mr. Xiaolin, do you want to accept this mission? If it's your team, there should be no problem."
Luna was happy to let them accept the mission, after all, it would enhance the guild's reputation.
After hearing this, Aqua and others also said:
"Those guys are really stupid. They're just a bunch of newbies going to catch thieves."
"They are the ones who say they overestimate their capabilities."
"There is no other way, just leave it to us."
"Ah, let them see the strength of Axel's strongest team!"
"Eh, eh?!!!"
These fools, I don't know whether they are confident or arrogant. After hearing about the huge rewards, they became blind like other adventurers.
"No, we're not going."
Xiao Lin refused the task.
This naturally made a few of them dissatisfied, but they still restrained themselves and asked for the reason.
"It's very simple, because you idiots went there and didn't know whether they would be helping or causing damage. Sato-kun, think about it carefully, if Aqua and the others cause trouble, if the money they make in the end is not enough to compensate..."
"——?!!!"
Kobayashi didn't finish what he said, but Kazuma Sato already understood. After all, every time you do a task and earn rewards, there is a huge risk of compensation.
It was the same when defeating the Headless Horseman, intercepting the Mobile Fortress, and escorting the Flash Running Lizard. The higher the bounty, the higher the compensation amount and probability. Every time he did this, he had PTSD.
In this way, Xiaolin instigated someone to rebel with just a few words.
"No, that's right! You guys, we absolutely cannot do that mission, do you understand?!"
"Eh----!!!"
As soon as Sato Kazuma finished speaking, Aqua made a long sound of disgust.
Megumin said excitedly: "Kazuma, are you afraid? If you are afraid, it's okay for a few of us to go."
"No way, idiot!" Sato Kazuma yelled: "You should know the reason for not going! Anyway, you problem children must not go!"
Darkness, who was most willing to make sacrifices, said: "Forget it. Everyone, we found out about this too late. Everyone else has already set off. If we get there, the thieves might be caught, and everything will be wasted. The possibility of time.”
"Yes, yes..."
"Since Darkness said so."
"I can't help it. It's a shame that the people in the next town can't see my magic."
"That's not necessary anymore!"
In this way, under the persuasion of the female knight, everyone gave up their thoughts.
"Speaking of that...!"
Darkness suddenly turned red and panted, "Everyone, hurry up and do the mission! I can't suppress my own strength anymore and I want to show off my skills!"
"Are you suffering from chuunibyou too?!"
Sato Kazuma couldn't help complaining, but he still accepted the task quickly. Because the adventurers have left, many tasks are left unfinished, so you can let them choose.
However, in the end, she still rejected Megumin's request to do a difficult mission, and instead chose a relatively low-level crusade mission - Timber Wolf.
Before leaving, Xiaolin asked: "Miss Luna, I wonder if Chris is back?"
"Chris?" Luna was stunned for a moment, but quickly flipped through the information and said, "No, Miss Chris hasn't come back yet. She is being invited to do a task... What a coincidence, Miss Chris is in the next town."
"Yeah, I know."
Xiao Lin nodded.
Although I'm not sure, the one who can make a lot of news, and the treasure is still lost, must be the goddess named Chris, who is actually Eris.
Thank you for cleaning up the mess Aqua left behind, my goddess.
With apologies, Xiao Lin said to the problem children: "Okay, let's go. Let me see your growth during this period."
"Oh!"xN
Then everyone set off.
On the way to the plains, the group of people walked and chatted.
Xiao Lin was the first to ask: "You guys, have your levels and abilities increased recently?"
Leaving aside Aqua, Darkness, Megumin, Yuyu, and Sato Kazuma all received [favors], and they would never be able to become stronger if they didn't work hard.
"Well..."
Sato Kazuma hesitated, with a hint of obvious embarrassment on his face.
Obviously there is not much progress.
"Don't be discouraged, Sato-kun." Xiaolin comforted him and gave an example: "It doesn't matter even if there isn't much growth. Even if Aisi upgrades from LV1 to LV2, it took a year. You only got the [favor]." Just one month.”
"Is that so?"
"But it took a month for Bell to upgrade from LV1 to LV2. I think it would be better for you to know this."
"Damn it! That orthodox harem hero!"
Sato Kazuma's originally relieved and depressed expression instantly turned to jealousy, and at the same time he gritted his teeth secretly and felt that God was unfair.
The jealous look is so ugly, Sato-kun.
"But it's so strange." Xiaolin said curiously: "Sato-kun, don't you have the dagger I gave you? It has the attribute of killing with one hit, so you should be able to do it easily."
"No, I don't actually use it that much."
"Huh? Isn't it easy to use?"
"It's so useful."
Sato Kazuma showed a happy and troubled expression.
Then he gave his reasons.
The ability to kill with one hit is really outrageous. As long as it creates a gap for the opponent, it will be cursed to kill immediately. Coupled with his sixth ability, it can be said to be terrifyingly powerful.
However, the problem arises here.
This dagger seemed to be stained with a curse. As long as he used it to the end, he would always be cut inexplicably and die from the curse, without exception.
In the end, he was a little afraid to use the dagger.
Xiao Lin said: "Is it possible that it is really contaminated by a curse?"
Aqua on the side was not happy after hearing this, and said loudly: "No way, if it was a curse, I would have purified it long ago!"
No, I mean you are the biggest curse (eyebrow pencil).
Even if she didn't see it, with Aqua's unimaginable extremely low luck, she could still guess why Sato Kazuma died tragically every time, and was therefore too scared to use the dagger.
To be honest, for Kazuma Sato, the chance of survival with a goddess who can resurrect is by his side far exceeds the chance of survival without the goddess by his side.
If he had to choose one, he would rather choose no goddess.
"Everyone, a monster has appeared!"
Darkness's voice attracted everyone's attention.
At the same time, not far in front of them, two huge figures crawled out of the ground.
"Hey, hey, is there a strong enemy?" The little chuunibyou loli stepped forward and said, "Xiao Lin, I am different from the good-for-nothing Kazuma over there. I have grown a lot during this time! Look at it. , my more refined explosion magic! Exploison!!!”
Without giving them a chance to react, Megumin's instant [Explosion Magic] fell from the sky, instantly blowing a giant toad into ashes.
Then the little loli fell softly to the ground.
"How, how, my magic..."
"It's so strong! ... No! It's very powerful, but didn't it still only kill one monster? And not only that, there were even more monsters!"
Sato Kazuma cursed angrily.
As the surrounding temperature was raised by [Explosion Magic] and subjected to strong vibrations, a large group of giant toads were awakened and crawled out from the ground to surround them.
"What, what, what, what, what, what, Xiaolin! I don’t want to be eaten, and I definitely don’t want to be eaten again!
The stupid goddess' legs became weak when she saw so many giant toads. Remembering the scene where they were devoured before, she was so frightened that she quickly hid behind Xiao Lin.
It’s understandable to be scared to the point of having a stress reaction, but she is a goddess after all, can she be successful?
"I'm here to defeat the monsters!"
After seeing the giant toad, the blonde female knight's eyes were extremely fiery and she looked eager to try. It's not that I want to play bundled Play, but I want to prove my strength. After receiving a new life, she is no longer the same as before!
"Watch the trick! Drink!!!"
Darkness rushed towards the monster in front, then raised the knight sword in his hand and struck it down on the head——
It fell on the plain and lifted up a large piece of land.
"It totally missed..."
"Eh, eh? Weird?"
Darkness looked at her hands in disbelief, and then shouted in panic: "What, what should I do, Xiaolin! The attack missed! What should I do?!"
Sato Kazuma seemed to understand something: "Could it be said that because of Ace and the others' return, Darkness has returned to its original state? In other words -"
"Synchronization failure on the alien plane?!"
Xiao Lin was stunned for a moment.
But soon he became happy again.
Youyou, who was carrying the little lolita who was a middle-aged child, said in surprise: "Xiao, Mr. Xiaolin, why can you still laugh?"
"Because this is Darkness, this is her cuteness."
"No, I don't understand what you are talking about at all! Oh, no, no! Xiaolin, let's run away quickly! Hurry, run away!"
Seeing that the female knight was of no use and Megumin had lost her magic power and became a liability, the stupid goddess suddenly panicked and yelled. The others also followed her subconsciously.
"...Wait, why are you running?"
Xiao Lin was the only one who looked puzzled, wondering if these idiots had forgotten something.
