A cold smile appeared on Roya's lips. "As you wish."
"Eh, that's not Kazuma's voice." Aqua, though somewhat delirious, still noticed this.
But apart from Kazuma, no one else comes here.
No, to be precise, there is one more person.
In an instant, Aqua's mind cleared up considerably.
But at this moment, she wished she knew nothing.
At that moment, Aqua even felt cold sweat breaking out on her forehead.
She kept her eyes closed, trying to play dead.
What else can be said? She knows everything, she just doesn't want to admit it.
Roya coldly stared at the drunken, useless goddess in front of her, slowly walked into the living room, lifted Aqua to a certain height, and then let go.
A loud thud followed as her buttocks made contact with the ground, sending a sharp pain straight to Aqua's head.
Aqua let out a scream, clutching her backside and rolling around in pain. Roya chuckled and said, "Aqua, what have you done?"
Aqua shuddered, her expression froze, and when she looked up, she saw Roya's gloomy face.
Without any unnecessary words, Aqua put her hands together in a standard dogeza (a traditional Chinese prostration gesture) and said sincerely, "I'm sorry, I was wrong."
This immediate apology is truly baffling.
Roya didn't let Aqua off the hook just because she apologized; instead, Roya leaned down and smiled.
Aqua also gave a fawning smile.
Roya reached out and slowly grabbed Aqua's ear.
Aqua's smile began to stiffen.
Then came a cry of pain that echoed throughout the entire mansion.
It was quite a lively scene for a while.
————————————————————————
In the middle of the living room, Aqua, Megumin, and Kazuma Sato sat quietly together.
Luo Ya glanced at the three of them expressionlessly, and could see obvious guilt in their expressions.
Luo Ya sighed helplessly, "If you know you're wrong, then don't do it again!"
The three remained silent, not daring to refute.
Roya shook his head speechlessly, glanced at the three of them, and realized that his original plan to speedrun the Demon King today had fallen through.
Let's give these guys a day to rest. Going to fight the Demon King while they're all drunk is just asking for trouble.
Unexpectedly, the biggest obstacle to defeating the Demon King would be these incompetent members of the team.
For a fleeting moment, Roya even suspected that these people were spies sent by the Demon King to prevent Roya from successfully defeating the Demon King.
Luo Ya didn't dwell on the matter, but casually said, "Oh, by the way, there's something I need you guys to do as a team tomorrow. Consider this your chance to make amends."
At this point, Aqua immediately stood up to show her attitude: "Don't worry, leave it to me. I'll definitely complete the mission perfectly."
Seeing Aqua's confident demeanor, Roya couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.
It's because of you guys that I'm worried.
After muttering a few words to himself, Luo Ya slowly said, "You should listen to what it is before you speak."
All eyes fell on Roya, waiting for him to speak.
Roya smiled and said to everyone very seriously, "Tomorrow, well, I originally planned to go today, but looking at you all, I guess I can't do it today. Cough, to make a long story short, I'll take you to defeat the Demon King tomorrow."
After he finished speaking, everyone present fell silent.
Aqua, who had been so confident and assertive, froze on the spot. Everyone was looking at Roya with disbelief, as if to say: Are you kidding me?
The next moment, Aqua revealed the expression written all over her face.
"Are you kidding me? This is impossible! Are you going to send me to my death just because I dirtied your house?"
Kazuma Sato, unusually, chimed in, "Aren't we just too exhausted right now?"
Only Huihui's eyes shone brightly, her breathing rapid. She murmured, "If, if I could unleash an explosion spell over at the Demon King's Castle, hehehehe."
These words quickly drew angry glares from the two women. Aqua and Kazuma Sato grabbed Megumin to prevent the idiot from doing something reckless and going to her death.
Luo Ya had anticipated that the group would react this way.
Having spent so many days together, Luo Ya knew these guys' personalities perfectly well.
Knowing this is one thing, but actually facing it is still quite a headache.
Roya said directly, "I didn't expect you to do anything. I know your strength." He paused, his expression unusually serious this time. The young man's cold golden eyes stared at the three people in front of him, and his cold words rang out again.
"You don't need to do anything, I can handle everything."
At that moment, no one present spoke.
Chapter 376 Preparation
Silence, long silence.
Everyone opened their mouths, but found that they had no idea what to say.
If someone said such a thing to her, Aqua would definitely laugh at them for being delusional, like a toad trying to eat swan meat, not knowing their own limitations.
But if the target is changed to Roya, then the outcome is another story.
Aqua still doesn't know the extent of Roja's strength, only that he is extremely powerful, powerful enough to easily defeat a high-ranking member of the Demon King's army.
Even so, it's impossible for one person to clear the Demon King's Castle in a flash, right?
That's outrageous.
Even the legendary heroes had to team up and go through countless hardships before finally defeating the Demon King.
Is it even possible for Koroya to defeat the Demon King while carrying all these burdens?
In an instant, Aqua's thoughts raced. She opened her mouth, wanting to say something.
But she didn't dare to say it.
The reason is simple: she was afraid of being beaten.
Roya might not be able to defeat the Demon King, but he can definitely defeat her.
But her reckless spirit started acting up again. She wanted to say something, but she knew very well that if she said it, she would definitely get beaten up.
I want to speak, but I don't dare to.
The girl's face flushed red as she stared intently at Luo Ya.
Kazuma Sato looked at Aqua and was also somewhat amazed by her beauty.
Aqua, who isn't very bright and always likes to taunt me, would actually do something like this?
However, this put him in a dilemma.
Aqua was unusually clever for a moment, but it happened at that very time.
Kazuma Sato sighed and reluctantly said, "Um, Mr. Roya, although it's a little embarrassing to say this, I think that given our current state, isn't it too unrealistic to expect us to defeat the Demon King?"
At this point, Kazuma Sato's gaze drifted intentionally or unintentionally towards Aqua.
The attitude is clear, and the meaning is simple.
Can we really defeat the Demon King with just this many people?
After a moment of silence, Roya finally spoke up: "No problem. If it doesn't work, call Alice over. With her here, you'll be safe."
Roya was genuinely afraid that these guys would make some unwise choices.
When these scoundrels get going, they can really kill you.
Oh no, it's not like they'll kill you, but I have a feeling these scoundrels will ruin themselves.
The thought of Alice reminded Roya of a certain perverted knight, and Roya couldn't help but ask, "Where's Darkness?"
“Darkness? She’s with Alice, uh, she went back to the palace,” Kazuma Sato said hesitantly.
Roya sighed. As soon as they mentioned defeating the Demon King, these guys started running around everywhere, always causing trouble.
"Then I'll go to the palace and call Darkness over first. Oh, just in case, I'll also call Alice over."
If Alice were there to help, even if they faced some challenges, they would surely be able to overcome them smoothly.
Kazuma Sato murmured, "Is it absolutely necessary to defeat this demon king?"
Upon hearing this, Roya patted Sato Kazuma on the shoulder and nodded, saying, "Yes, this Demon King must be defeated. After all, I have my own reasons."
"Can I not go?"
"No."
"Sigh, I don't even know what use I am, why do I have to go?"
