Why is there still someone with chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) in another world?
Although Kazuma Sato's expression was somewhat subtle, the boy still nodded and said seriously, "We do need qualified adventurers to join our team. Don't underestimate our team just because it has only just been formed. We already have a high priest of a superior profession in our team, and our future prospects are very promising."
At this point, Kazuma Sato paused, seemingly doubting his own words. He continued, "I heard you're also going to defeat the Demon King? That's perfect. Although it might sound arrogant, in the future, we too will embark on the path to defeat the Demon King."
Before Kazuma Sato could finish speaking, Megumin's eyes lit up. A blush rose on the girl's somewhat childish cheeks, and her ruby-like eyes sparkled with excitement. The girl asked, her voice trembling slightly, "You mean, you also want to defeat the Demon King?"
"Ah, ah, yes, one day we will defeat the Demon King."
Kazuma Sato said these words in a somewhat unconfident tone.
For some reason, Kazuma has begun to doubt whether he can really defeat a creature like the Demon King.
The girl clearly didn't notice the unconvincing tone in He Zhenna's voice.
"Then please be sure to let us join your team."
The girl was speaking so excitedly that she grabbed Sato Kazuma's hand, as if afraid that the boy in front of her would refuse.
Kazuma Sato was also pleased that a mage skilled in explosion magic was willing to join the team.
After a detailed introduction, everyone had a better understanding of each other.
Beside her stood Aqua, who called herself a goddess, and next to Aqua stood the unremarkable Kazuma Sato.
Since she was a new member, and to show off his large appetite, Kazuma Sato specially treated Megumin to a meal at the guild.
Kazuma quickly regretted it. Megumin devoured all the food on the table like a starving ghost. Kazuma couldn't understand how this skinny little girl could finish all the food in one go.
Aqua, seemingly wanting to enjoy herself, secretly ordered a glass of sparkling wine. After downing a whole jug of liquor, Aqua let out a satisfied laugh.
The two ate happily, only Kazuma Sato frowned.
When it came time to pay the bill, sure enough, the 600,000 Eris had been spent completely, leaving not a single penny.
Huihui let out a burp, rubbed her noticeably larger belly, and said with a sigh, "This is the most filling meal I've had in a while."
Aqua's cheeks were slightly flushed. She let out a burp, which reeked of alcohol. Aqua wasn't drunk; after all, she only had 200,000 Eris for the wine, so it was impossible for her to get completely drunk.
Kazuma Sato looked at the girls around him and couldn't help but put his hand to his forehead, his face showing a hint of helplessness.
Kazuma Sato said, "Speaking of which, what are we going to do tonight if we spend all the money like this?"
In response to Kazuma Sato's nonchalant attitude, Aqua waved her hand and said, "What's the big deal? We're on a mission right now, and we have a mage in our team. Dealing with those giant toads isn't a big problem, right, Megumin?"
Huihui smiled confidently and waved her wand, which was inlaid with a red gem that shone red in the light.
“Of course, that’s no problem. Explosion magic is the strongest magic. However, it takes a considerable amount of time to prepare before you can use it. Until I’m ready, please trip up that toad,” Megumin said confidently.
Seeing the girl's confidence, Kazuma Sato felt a great weight lifted from his shoulders.
After all, he's a member of the Crimson Demon Clan, and one of the strongest in the magic field. He should be more than capable of dealing with a creature like a toad.
So Kazuma Sato, along with a well-fed Megumin, went to seek revenge on those giant toads.
On the plain, you can see a toad in the distance.
The toad had spotted the three of them and was charging towards them.
However, you can also see another toad approaching from the opposite direction.
Kazuma Sato began assigning tasks, addressing the group: "Your magic should target the one that's farther away. As for the ones closer... Hey, let's go! Aqua, we have to get revenge this time. You're supposed to be an ex-girlfriend, right? Show us your ex-girlfriend strength once in a while!"
"What about exes? My goddess identity is still ongoing, okay! The identity of the High Priest is just a disguise!" After saying that, Aqua reached out, ready to grab Sato Kazuma's neck.
Kazuma Sato ruthlessly subdued Aqua with a backhand and said to the three of them, "Anyway, that's it, let's go!"
However, a short while later, accompanied by a huge roar, Kazuma Sato and Aqua came running out, howling like ghosts. Kazuma Sato, who was in the lead, roared, "You bastard Megumin, what are you doing?"
Huihui collapsed to the ground, looking completely exhausted. At this moment, the girl revealed a satisfied expression. Huihui explained, "Hmph... Explosion magic is my ultimate technique. Its power is immense, and therefore it consumes a great deal of magic power... Simply put, I used up more magic power than I could, so I can't move."
The power of magic is undeniable. Whether it's the blindingly bright light or the deafening roar that shakes the surrounding air, it all proves the strength of explosive magic.
The toad's flesh and blood were flying everywhere, and a crater more than 20 meters deep was even left on the ground, which was enough to show how amazing the power of the explosion was.
Chapter 308 Poaching
However, there were not only two toads here. Soon, a large group of these creatures jumped out from not far away, and their goal was very unified. They all rushed towards the location of Kazuma Sato and Aqua.
Kazuma Sato rolled his eyes, grabbed Aqua, and ran as fast as he could, saying, "What do we do now? Megumin, you know other magic, right?"
Huihui gave an awkward smile and said weakly, "Um... I only know how to use Explosion Magic. I don't know any other magic at all."
After a chaotic scene, the three returned to the guild, but Kazuma Sato and Aqua's expressions were noticeably gloomy, while a nervous girl sat beside them.
Kazuma Sato looked at the 200,000 Eris in his hand. It was the reward he had finally received after risking his life. Being chased by those toads was not a pleasant experience.
All three fell silent, leaving only the three of them sitting alone in the guild.
Continuing to remain silent wasn't a solution, so Kazuma Sato spoke up: "So, you're a useless person who can only unleash one explosive spell?"
Huihui retorted indignantly, "What do you mean, a useless person who can only unleash one attack? You've seen how powerful my Explosion Magic is."
"But you can't do anything else, right?"
"Well, well, there's nothing we can do about it! The skill proficiency of Explosion Magic consumes a lot of skill points. If we don't put all our skill points into Explosion Magic, its power won't be as strong as it was just now."
"So you're just a useless person who can only release one shot!"
"Hey, hey, calling someone a useless person is really rude, isn't it?"
Just as the three were about to start arguing again, a voice rang out from the side at just the right moment: "Ahem, I heard you might need some manpower?"
The three were slightly taken aback upon hearing this. They turned their gaze to the boy, who had black-rimmed glasses. The boy had black hair and black eyes, and the black-rimmed glasses obscured most of his features, giving him an ordinary appearance.
The boy was tall and slender, with a thin build, and wore a white robe that gave off an extraordinary feeling at first glance.
Even so, the boy still gave people a very mediocre feeling.
Aqua subconsciously raised an eyebrow, giving the boy in front of her a strange look, a thoughtful expression flashing in her clear eyes.
Kazuma Sato asked in confusion, "Who are you?"
Huihui also looked over, and for a moment, all three of them focused their attention on Luo Ya.
The black-haired boy scratched his head, his expression unchanged, and said to everyone, "Just call me Pamela."
Roya did not choose to use his own name. Roya was quite famous in this town, and giving his own name would only arouse suspicion among the others.
However, just as Roya finished speaking, Aqua, who had been silent all along, suddenly asked, "Have we met before? I feel like you look familiar. No, to be precise, I feel like I've seen you before. And that ring on your right hand, it looks familiar too."
Aqua made a face that looked like she was trying hard to think, but had no clue what to do.
Luo Ya shrugged and casually said, "Maybe you've seen me somewhere before. This town is so small, you might have met me but didn't realize it."
"Oh, is that so?" Aqua scratched her head, seemingly genuinely fooled by Roja's simple words.
Only Kazuma Sato's gaze lingered on Aqua and Roya.
After a moment's thought, Kazuma Sato simply asked, "What is your profession?"
Roya didn't hide anything and said directly, "My profession is adventurer, the lowest level one. There's no chance to advance to a higher level."
"The lowest-ranking adventurer?" Kazuma Sato pondered.
To be honest, the team's current situation is a bit outrageous. There are two high-level professionals, but they are both terrible.
Aqua is useless; if it comes to a direct battle, she'll definitely be the first to run away.
Huihui is completely out of her mind. She can only cast one spell a day. It may be powerful, but you don't need such a powerful spell to deal with the daily minions.
Moreover, after casting the spell, this guy will instantly lie down, lying on the ground like a dead fish.
This gave Kazuma Sato a real headache.
The key point is that Kazuma Sato himself transmigrated here without claiming the exclusive rewards for his transmigration. He brought along a mentally challenged Aqua, and his own attributes were mediocre, with nothing particularly noteworthy.
If you lack the skills yourself and the team is full of problematic players, you simply can't lead this team.
To be honest, Kazuma Sato is currently quite short-staffed.
Kazuma Sato tentatively asked, "Could I see your adventurer card?"
Seemingly realizing that there might have been something inappropriate in his words, Kazuma Sato explained, "This is to better allocate everyone's work positions. We won't leak your information, so don't worry."
When Roya heard what Sato Kazuma said, although his face remained expressionless, he was inwardly puzzled.
Giving an adventurer card to someone means you're essentially exposing yourself.
However, if they didn't show it to Kazuma Sato, his reason was indeed just right, and they simply couldn't refuse.
In the end, Roya did not hand over his adventurer card to Sato Kazuma, but instead refused with a very flimsy excuse.
"I'm sorry, but for some other reasons, I can't show you the adventurer card."
"Oh, I see. Well, I'm sorry, I can't let a complete stranger into the line, and you look quite suspicious."
Kazuma Sato spoke his mind very directly, with a serious expression.
"Oh, is that so?" Luo Ya thought for a moment, then came up with another idea. The young man said directly to the three of them, "Why don't you join my team?"
Kazuma Sato said somewhat angrily, "Hey, what do you mean by this? You won't even let me see the adventurer card, and you're trying to poach our players?"
Luo Ya waved his hand dismissively and said, "This kind of thing is not important. Actually, your current situation is quite bad. If I'm not mistaken, you may have to sleep on the streets tonight."
"Ah, how did you know? No, no, how could we possibly be sleeping on the streets? What are you talking about? Don't look down on us!"
