I will definitely save this world because I made an appointment with the goddess that day.
Yes, that was the goddess I met in a black room on the day of my reincarnation...
"Come on, let's embark on a journey with the magic sword Gram. Chosen hero, I hope you can welcome a new future in a different world."
"My Goddess, I will definitely defeat the Demon King and save the world!!"
"Okay, I'm looking forward to it very much."
Since that day, I have been working hard for the goddess until today. Everything I did was for the goddess, but why...why would the goddess be with that guy!
Angrily, he caught up with the man who was wandering in front of him doing nothing, and shouted at him with all his strength.
"Finally found you, Sato Kazuma!"
"Um...I'm sorry, who are you?"
"It's me! Mitsurugi Kyouya!!!"
"So, there is such a number one person... I'm sorry, I accidentally forgot about it."
The man who was stopped turned his head and looked at him with a blank look in his eyes, as if he didn't recognize him, as if he wasn't lying.
This only made him angrier.
What a joke! After all, he is one of the top adventurers in the kingdom, and he is also Axel's high-profile rising star. More importantly... his magic sword was once stolen and sold by the other party. With that The experience of humiliating yourself, but now you can’t remember it?
I always feel like there is a nameless anger in my heart.
Sato Kazuma scratched his head, wondering why the man in front of him was so angry. After all, everyone forgets someone sometimes.
"What's wrong with you, Yujian?"
"It's Yu Jian! I just gave my name and immediately made a mistake. You are still as rude as ever!"
Is it intentional?
This guy just deliberately called him by the wrong name and teased himself with a nickname like Yujian.
Yujian Xiangye crossed his arms and provocatively said: "You sold my magic sword Gram before, which made me feel humiliated... I ask to fight you again. Follow me." Let’s decide the outcome!”
"Eh - it's so troublesome, I don't want it."
Sato Kazuma's tone was drawn out in disgust.
He was exhausted mentally and physically from taking care of the problem children in the team, so he wanted to avoid such inconsequential and meaningless wins and losses as much as possible.
But Yuken Xiangye seemed to have misunderstood.
"Hmph, don't worry, I won't say anything like before, saying that if I win, you will give up the goddess to me. This is about my dignity! If you win, I promise that I will never ask you to fight with me again. ! On the contrary, if I win, I want you to apologize to me for what happened so far, and admit that I am the true hero candidate!"
He thought that the reason why Sato Kazuma did not dare to compete was because he was afraid of losing Aqua.
But what a mistake! If he could get rid of the trouble of the idiot goddess, Sato Kazuma would definitely get rid of it without saying a word!
"Don't make your own decisions. Why do I have to compete with you..." Sato Kazuma stared blankly. Just when he was about to refuse, his eyes suddenly turned and he thought of something.
Wait a minute, that's not right.
As long as you make good use of this...
Then he changed the topic, raised the corner of his mouth and said with a slightly provocative tone: "Okay, you ask me to be your opponent, and I agree. But if you humiliate yourself again, I don't care."
"Since you dare to speak boldly, do you agree to accept my challenge?"
"Of course...but, I have a condition. I'm tired of using the simple method of one-on-one battles to determine the winner every time. How about changing things a bit today and using other methods to decide the winner?"
"No problem, I have no objection. No matter what method is used to decide the outcome, I will definitely win in the end!" In the face of provocation, Yu Jian Xiangye was not to be outdone.
Success!
Seeing that the opponent took the bait, Sato Kazuma, who had his back to Kyouya Sword, raised the corners of his mouth for a moment, and then immediately smoothed it over before being discovered, and his mind began to think about how to use this hard-won tool.
The two then ran towards the suburbs.
Since the competition is not determined by PVP, then naturally it can only be determined by PVE to see who is faster.
The person who wants to verify who can defeat monsters faster and with a certain degree of difficulty is undoubtedly the rookie killer who is also known as quite troublesome in the novice village.
"The competition is to see who can kill more rookie killers, right?"
"That's right. The method to decide the winner has nothing to do with it. After defeating all the rookie killers, whoever defeats the most rookie killers will be the winner."
As mentioned above, the rules for winning are very simple. The limited monsters can snatch more prey, and the competition is who is more efficient.
Yu Jian Xiangye laughed confidently, raised the magic sword in his hand and said: "I really don't know whether you are confident or arrogant. Have you forgotten, Sato Kazuma, that I have the magic sword Gram, even if I fight against the giant? Not to mention a dragon, let alone a mere newcomer killer!"
"Oh! It's true that your magic sword is very strong, but I also have a secret weapon. Look, the Teigu given to me by Senior Kobayashi - Murasame, one-hit kill. Literally, even a slight scratch will be fatal."
Sato Kazuma picked up the dagger in his hand and licked it with his tongue.
"My sword is full of poison."
"What a cheating weapon, you are indeed a cunning man!"
"...Hey, I don't want to be said like this by someone holding a magic sword. In comparison, you are more cunning!"
"Okay, I won't admit defeat! The Demonic Sword Hero Yujian Xiangye, join us!"
Yu Jian Xiangye's blood was already rising. He raised the magic sword in his hand and rushed towards the newcomer killers not far away. He planned to strike first and lay the foundation for victory with a strong breath!
"Oh oh oh! Watch the trick!!"
"Oh, another one! So awesome!"
Sato Kazuma, who was lagging behind, had no intention of competing with him, and even cheered him on from behind.
Mitsurugi Kyouya, who was breathing heavily, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and taunted Kazuma Sato, who was following behind him and could only eat ashes: "Hmph. How are you, Kazuma Sato! You don't seem to have even one. Knock it down, the gap is getting wider and wider.”
"Then, I also want to..."
Sato Kazuma was eyeing a new killer not far away. Just as he was about to go forward to attack him, he saw Mitsurugi Kyouya suddenly speeding up and rushing over. Then he killed it with one sword and snatched the monster from his hand. gone.
"Hmph! Now there are five!"
"you……"
"You can't steal other people's targets... You don't seem to have set such a rule, right? You even proposed to see whoever defeats more rookie killers wins. You seem to have chosen the wrong way to duel."
Roar----
Deep in the jungle, several new killers jumped out again and surrounded the two of them.
"It appears again... There are so many new killers living here. However, even if they all come together, they are no match for me! Oh oh oh oh oh!"
After saying that, he rushed out with unmatched momentum and attacked all the newcomer killers who surrounded him. It was as if it was not Mitsurugi Kyouya who was surrounded by the newcomer killers, but Mitsurugi Kyouya who surrounded the newcomer killers.
And looking at Mitsurugi Kyouya's actions, it seems that he intends to use his physical fitness far beyond that of Sato Kazuma's master swordsman to forcefully defeat every new killer, leaving Sato Kazuma with zero gains.
Could it be that he planned to humiliate Sato Kazuma with a huge gap of zero gain?
What an outrageous behavior!
...Most people would think so, but Kazuma Sato was extremely happy. He needs to put in more effort. It's best to kill all the new killers here, so that he can enjoy the results.
In this way, Mitsurugi Kyouya was working hard in front waving the magic sword to defeat the monsters, while Sato Kazuma loudly cheered him on from behind. In order to prevent the other party from seeing his flaws, he would sometimes use provocations, and then this would make him Mitsurugi Kyouya, who was aware of it, was once again overwhelmed by blood.
All in all, IQ is just crushing.
after an hour--
"Huh...it seems like everything has been solved."
Yu Jian Xiangye wiped the sweat from his forehead.
In order to definitely win and at the same time bring humiliation to Sato Kazuma, he worked hard and defeated all the new killers near the town.
Sato Kazuma clapped his hands and said: "Oh, you are so awesome. You are really strong... People like me can't beat you no matter how hard I try."
"Huh? Then you admit that I won?"
"Of course! I lost... I'm so sorry for this so far, you can be called a brave candidate."
"……oh oh."
Yujian Xiangye scratched his head.
I always felt a little surprised. I thought the other party would be stubborn and refuse to admit it, but I didn't expect that he would admit defeat so simply and neatly.
But what's going on? I feel like I've been cheated.
"Forget it, I originally thought you were just a despicable and shameless man. It turns out that you also have this kind of magnanimity and can admit other people's strength frankly. It actually makes me look narrow-minded."
"There's no need to say the previous sentence."
Sato Kazuma rolled his eyes.
Normally, if someone calls him mean and shameless, he will get angry even if it is the truth, but this time, seeing as how hard the other person has put in the effort, please forgive him.
"Haha, now I can finally erase the stain of the past. From now on, in order to defeat the Demon King, I plan to work harder to train myself. This is also to make Aqua-sama happy."
After being recognized, Yu Jianxiangye breathed a long sigh of relief, his slightly frowning eyebrows relaxed, and his gloomy aura disappeared. To put it exaggeratedly, it feels like letting go of some kind of baggage and regaining a new lease of life.
But does it make her happy... Aqua will indeed be very happy, hehehehe——
A sinister smile appeared on Sato Kazuma's lips.
————
In the evening, the Adventurers Guild.
Several members of the team gathered here.
Darkness greeted: "Sorry, can I have another glass of bubble wine?"
Megumin also said: "Ah, I want a smoked lizard hamburger here, please, Ms. Luna!"
"You guys are really feasting."
Sato Kazuma looked at the few who kept adding orders, and the smile on his face did not diminish.
Aqua also said happily: "Kazuma, he actually said that we can eat as much as we want today. How generous! What happened?"
"Hey, goddess, long time no see!"
At this time, Mitsurugi Kyouya appeared here and saw Aqua and the others taking the initiative to say hello.
"Oh, who is this person...that...is...?"
Sure enough, the stupid goddess forgot about him.
Sato Kazuma sighed and said, "It's about time you remembered this person's name. Isn't this guy... Ayanokouji?"
"That's totally wrong! It's Edgeworth!! I didn't even pronounce a single sound correctly!!!"
Mitsurugi Kyouya roared loudly.
Embarrassed, Sato Kazuma pushed him to sit down and said, "Don't be so serious. Come on, you can have a drink too. I'll treat you. I'm sorry - give this guy a glass of bubble wine too!"
After being forced to sit down, Yuken Xiangye looked at the luxurious set menu on the table and asked curiously: "Hey, you are spending more money than usual. What happened?"
"I heard that I got temporary income."
"It seems that Kazuma completed the subjugation mission alone, and the target was the new killer who was multiplying in the forest."
"And that mission is very difficult."
Several people in the team were busy explaining.
However, Yu Jian Xiangye's expression froze, and he muttered softly: "One man defeated the rookie killer alone... Huh?"
With his IQ regaining the high ground, he seemed to understand something at this moment.
Aqua said in a cheerful tone: "It was originally supposed to be a large-scale mission that about twenty people accepted together, but he defeated all the monsters by himself and got the reward... Mr. Kazuma is really awesome!"
hiss----
Mitsurugi Hibiki took a deep breath, looked at the man who plotted against him, and asked: "Hey, Sato Kazuma, our previous rookie killer showdown, could it be..."
"If I can monopolize the mission reward, whether it's to apologize to you or admit that you are a brave candidate, it will be a piece of cake."
Sato Kazuma looked sinister.
This man is indeed a complete scumbag, he actually dares to set himself up and take advantage of his desire to win!
Even the gentle-tempered Kyoya Mitsurugi was smitten by the coquettish manipulations of Axel, the most scumbag man.
Grabbed him by the collar.
"Damn it! Sato Kazuma! You bastard dare to lie to me!"
"No, no, no, I didn't lie to you, did I? I lost the duel, so I apologized to you properly."
Seeing that Mitsurugi Kyouya still couldn't accept Sato Kazuma's shabby explanation, he continued to confuse him: "Besides, Aqua is very happy now. Wouldn't everyone be happy with this?"
"Well...you man, you can still be regarded as Aqua-sama..."
Mitsurugi Kyouya really wanted to punch him.
But now not only the goddess he respects is watching from behind, but other people in the Adventurer's Guild are also looking at him. If he gets angry, it will easily be regarded as a drunken madness, which is really hard to do.
What's more important is that Aqua-sama is very happy.
this point is very important!
“Keeping you waiting – two glasses of bubbly and a smoked lizard burger steak.”
Miss Luna brought the food.
Aqua cheered: "Okay——! Then... cheers!"
"Okay, okay, let's take a breather today and enjoy the delicious bubble bar, Yujian."
"That's it...my name is... Yu Jianhaaaaah!!!"
After Sato Kazuma repeatedly called her by the wrong name twice and three times, the thread of reason in Mitsurugi Kyouya's head finally broke at this moment.
