An Xiu's Party Makes a Name for Itself; Kazuma Satou Feels the Difference in Class / The Story Takes a Turn; Kazuma Satou: "Aqua Set Me Up!"
At the same time, deep in the forest, Vanir once again felt the approach of a large number of Adventurer.
"Strange, why are these humans here again? Haven't I already defeated Braver with the magic sword? Are these guys still rushing to die under such circumstances?"
"Wait a minute, this aura is... Lord Warbuck!"
Vanir, who was still wondering why Axel's Adventurer dared to trouble him again, suddenly felt a familiar scent from outside the forest.
It was unmistakable. The target I had been looking for for so long, the aura that belonged exclusively to Lord Warbuck, was finally found!
Vanir, who finally discovered the goal of his trip, did not hesitate at this moment and immediately flapped his wings and flew quickly out of the forest.
The huge figure crossed the entire forest in less than a few seconds, and finally appeared in front of a group of Adventurer teams surrounding the forest.
Vanir had no interest in the overestimating human beings in front of it. As soon as it left the forest, its eyes were fixed on Megumin who was in An Xiu's team not far away.
To be precise, it should be the black cat-shaped familiar, Chomusuke, who is lying on Megumin's body like a pet at this moment.
Without giving everyone any time to react, Vanir confirmed the target as quickly as possible and immediately rushed towards An Xiu's team.
"Finally found you, Lord Warbuck!!!"
Relying on the speed of the superior demon, the huge claws came to Megumin in the blink of an eye, and were about to touch the girl's body.
However, it is a pity that the next second, Artoria with a cold expression blocked its path, and then...
Rumble!!!!
The huge body that was several meters high rushed forward and flew back at a faster speed in the blink of an eye, crashing through the forest and leaving a huge gap on the path.
This scene is exactly the same as the previous scene when the opponent attacked the magic sword Braver. The only difference is that the identities of humans and demons have been swapped, and the current appearance of Vanir is obviously more miserable than the previous Mitsurugi Kyouya.
What happened?
This is the only thought in the mind of Vanir, who is lying on the ground at this moment.
Now all he can think about is the scene just now.
If he read it correctly, the woman suddenly stopped in front of him at an extremely fast speed, and then with just one blow, he was caught off guard and seriously injured.
You must know that it is a superior demon. With the physical quality of a superior demon, under normal circumstances, even if it stands still, it would be difficult to hurt it with Axel Adventurer's ability.
Being able to defeat a superior demon like myself with one blow, this woman could never be some unknown person, but why couldn't she find any information about her?
Yes, Vanir does not recognize Artoria. The reason why it was able to recognize Mitsurugi Kyouya previously was because the other party had a bounty on the Demon King/Army, but the problem is that there was no bounty information on Artoria on the Demon King/Army.
After all, with Artoria's record, what's the point of offering a reward to the opponent other than to make people die? If someone could really receive this reward, wouldn't it be faster to rob the Demon King/Army directly?
However, although Artoria's true identity is not known, this does not prevent Vanir from realizing the strength of Artoria.
Propping up his body and getting up from the ground, Vanir flew towards An Xiu's team again, but this time it did not choose to charge head-on. Instead, it bypassed Artoria after approaching and took a detour from the side.
Its target from beginning to end is only Chomusuke lying on Megumin, which is the half body of Evil God Wolbach. As long as it can bypass Artoria and take Lord Warbuck's half body away, it can retreat immediately.
Unfortunately, its plan failed once again.
Clang!!!
I saw another blond figure different from Artoria standing in front of Vanir, blocking Vanir's attack for his companions.
"You devil, don't even think about getting past me to attack my companions!"
Darkness, who used her physical strength to intercept demons, said righteously that even in her serious posture, she was still very chivalrous.
Behind Darkness, Yunyun, a mage, also immediately released True Magic.
"Fireball!"
The raging flames with a diameter of nearly ten meters instantly engulfed the demon's figure, and it wasn't over yet.
With the blessing of Meli's Reinforcement Magecraft, all aspects of Yunyun's attributes have been fully strengthened like a magic machine gun, and a large number of True Magic are released one after another as if there is no magic power.
Being in such an indiscriminate bombing, Vanir, who had been severely injured, felt miserable.
"It's not good either. If this continues, I'm afraid you will really die here. It's better to retreat first."
Realizing that he might not be able to take away Lord Warbuck's half today anyway, Vanir immediately had the idea of escape.
However, the moment it turned around and flew away in an attempt to evacuate, it suddenly felt that the scene in front of it was spinning.
"You can't just run away so casually."
Meli, who casually released an illusion to trap Vanir in place, said with a smile, and next to Meli, Megumin had already begun to chant Explosion Magic.
Huge magic power gathered in the sky above Vanir, forming a far larger magic circle than any previous Explosion Magic, and then suddenly erupted.
"Explosion!"
The violent explosion submerged the demon's figure, and the aftermath even blew the other Adventurers gathered here in the distance to stagger.
Chapter 225: An Xiu team became famous, Sato Kazuma felt the differences in the world
The battle against the superior demon is over, and the team of An Xiu and others have become completely famous.
Although it was already famous enough before, it was more based on the prophecy previously released by Meli and the name of An Xiu Braver.
But this time is different. This time An Xiu team is famous purely because of their strength.
After all, no matter how resounding the name of Braver is, it is all false if it cannot defeat the Demon King. However, the record of team An Xiu defeating and conquering superior demons is real, and it was a perfect victory in which no one in the entire team was injured.
Anyone can do the simplest addition and subtraction. Demon Sword's Braver was defeated by the demon in a short time, but An Xiu's team defeated the demon in a short time without any injuries.
Therefore, the team strength of An Xiu is much stronger than that of the magic sword Braver, which is ranked third in the kingdom Adventurer, and the equation is established.
Nowadays, the An Xiu team is walking on the streets of Axel, and every Adventurer they see will greet them with respect. This is very important to An Xiu and It's nothing to Meli and Artoria, but for the other members of the team, especially Yunyun and Megumin, this treatment is completely different from before.
In the blink of an eye, two days passed.
On this day, An Xiu was walking on the street with Meli and Artoria. The purpose of their trip was to buy some ingredients with the characteristics of KonoSuba.
As another feature of this world besides the Adventurer system, the fruits and vegetables in the KonoSuba world are of extremely high quality compared to other worlds because they are alive.
An Xiu plans to buy more and take them back to Mobius, Vill-V, Sakura, Seele, Sakuya and other clones, Talulah, Lapland, and Ais share it with people who are close to me, so the purchase volume is huge.
Fortunately, with Artoria, he didn't need An Xiu to pay for the checkout or anything else. He only needed to buy it. As a member of the royal family, Artoria was not short of money in this world even if he did not count the commission money for the previous expedition against the superior demon, not to mention that there was Meli, the chief court True Magic division of the kingdom, next to him.
However, while scanning the goods, An Xiu's eyes suddenly spotted an interesting figure.
"Thank you for your patronage. Thank you very much for coming. Please come again next time."
In front of a fruit stall, I saw Sato Kazuma and Aqua next to me, wearing clothes that looked like store clerks, greeting the passing customers with smiles on their faces.
I didn't expect to meet the two of them here, but that's right. After all, when Sato Kazuma and Aqua in the original book first came to this world, in order to save start-up capital, they could be said to have worked any kind of job, including but not limited to waiters, salesmen, and even bricklayers on construction sites.
Just at this moment, An Xiu and the other three happened to walk up to the stall. Upon seeing this, Sato Kazuma immediately started greeting them again.
"Welcome, the fruits on our stall are all the freshest picked that day. If you are interested in purchasing, please don't miss it..."
"Wait a minute, with this outfit... are you a reincarnated person?!"
Noticing the modern clothes on An Xiu, Sato Kazuma's eyes widened in shock. You must know that this was the first time he met other reincarnations after being reincarnated into a different world.
As for the previous time when An Xiu was recognized as Braver in the guild, because there were too many people at the time, Sato Kazuma actually did not see the true face of An Xiu. Strictly speaking, this should be his first official meeting with An Xiu.
"Reincarnated person, you can say that."
Hearing that Sato Kazuma regarded himself as the same reincarnated person as the other person, An Xiu had no intention of correcting him. After all, although he was not a reincarnated person in this world, strictly speaking, there was not much difference between a time traveler and a reincarnated person.
"Pack up everything on the stall, I want them all."
"Oh, okay, thank you for your patronage."
Sato Kazuma, who was still immersed in the emotion of seeing other reincarnated people, subconsciously began to pack all the goods on the stall. After all, reincarnated people also need money to live, which Sato Kazuma has already realized deeply during the time he came to the other world.
Nowadays, An Xiu is undoubtedly considered a big customer due to his behavior of booking the booth. Although he and Aqua are just the clerks of this stall, they can also get a good commission based on this performance.
"Wait a minute, why do you have so much money despite being a reincarnated person? Have you been reincarnated in this world for a long time?"
Although they are just some ordinary products, they add up to tens of thousands of Eris. You must know that Sato Kazuma and Aqua work very hard every day and can only earn 20,000 Eris in a month.
Logically speaking, it is impossible for a reincarnated person who has just arrived in this world to take out such a large sum of money. The only explanation is that the other person has been developing in this world for a long time.
However, An Xiu shook his head at this.
"In fact, I have just arrived in this world. If I hadn't just completed a crusade commission not long ago, I wouldn't have much money."
"But it doesn't really matter. After all, I'm not the one paying."
"What do you mean?"
Such an idea just came to my mind, but before I had time to ask, Sato Kazuma saw Artoria and Meli, who had been standing behind An Xiu, walking forward.
"Just put the packaged goods next to it."
Meli waved his staff gently, and with a burst of petals scattering, all the previous products disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Artoria stepped forward to pay the money, and then returned behind An Xiu again.
"It's so magical. All the products disappeared in an instant. Is it some special True Magic effect?"
"Also, I wonder what the relationship between them is? Are they just adventure companions?"
Although the scene where all the products disappeared just now was miraculous, it is no longer what Sato Kazuma is most concerned about now.
At this moment, he was looking at Meli and Artoria behind An Xiu with a stiff expression. With the ability to recognize people that he had developed during this period of time in another world, he could conclude that although he did not know the true identities of Artoria and Meli, even judging from their temperament, they were definitely either rich or noble.
Especially the majesty that Artoria has unintentionally revealed under his long-term position as a superior. Although Sato Kazuma didn't dare to guess about the royal family, he could still judge that the other party might be from a noble family in another world.
As for Meli, just the luxurious robe and the staff that are worth a lot at first sight, plus the fact that his ears are completely different from humans, which are the characteristics of Nightmare, and True Magic who just wiped out all the products with one hand, can already explain a lot of problems.
When Sato Kazuma asked, Artoria spoke seriously.
"My name is Artoria Pendragon. I am a member of the Adventurer team formed by the master. I am also a knight loyal to the master."
"Although it's just some insignificant help, after I pledge my allegiance to the master, all the master's expenses during the adventure will be borne by me."
"Yeah, Liya and I are the same in this regard."
Meli on the side also nodded and answered.
Of course, at this moment, Sato Kazuma could no longer hear the outside world. As early as Artoria and Meli spoke one after another, Sato Kazuma's heart, which had been riddled with holes since being reincarnated into another world, was gently shattered.
Chapter 226: Changes in the plot, Sato Kazuma: I was tricked by Aqua!
As early as the first day after being reincarnated into this different world, Sato Kazuma had already realized that this world was not a beautiful one.
There are no beautiful encounters like the protagonists of light novels, no magnificent adventures, only day-to-day work and embarrassment in life, plus a cheating goddess who often holds him back.
The unwillingness to break a coin in half was enough to shatter all the beautiful filters for another world. The smelly stable where he lived every night clearly told him that even if he was reincarnated into another world, he would still have to face the fucked up reality.
However, someone now told Sato Kazuma that the different world is not without its beautiful side, but this beauty does not belong to him.
They are also reincarnated. Some people can meet the noble female knight and the Nightmare mage as soon as they land, and successfully gain their allegiance. After being adopted, they can start a smooth adventure in the royal world and become an out-and-out winner in life.
However, some people had to work as cows and horses as soon as they landed due to financial reasons. Even the money to register Adventurer was borrowed from others. Every day when they opened their eyes, they were thinking about where to work and make money. Because they had no money, they had to sleep in smelly stables at night.
So, what exactly caused me to become like this?
Sato Kazuma thought carefully and quickly identified the culprit.
It was Aqua who caused all the trouble!
It was because of Aqua that not only did he not have the special abilities given by the Heavenly Realm at the beginning, but he also suffered from several key mistakes and delays, causing the two of them to lose their jobs several times!
If there were no Aqua, his life in another world would not be so miserable. If there were no Aqua, maybe he would be able to get out of the predicament as soon as possible when he only needs to consider himself.
He was set up by Aqua!
"Ah sneeze!"
Aqua, who was staying well by the side, suddenly sneezed, and then noticed Sato Kazuma staring at her with an unkind look on his face.
"Why are you staring at me with such fierce eyes all of a sudden? Wait... Could it be that I was discovered last time when I secretly used money to buy alcohol?"
"No, in fact, I have guessed it a long time ago, but now it's time to settle the account together."
"Wait, wait a minute, I'm a goddess. Isn't it right to give me some money to buy me wine? Why are you so angry all of a sudden!!!"
The originally peaceful stall fell into chaos. Fortunately, since all the goods had been bought by An Xiu and others, it was not a big deal.
It's none of An Xiu's business as to whether they would be deducted from their wages by the boss if they damaged the stall and waited until night. After all, they only chatted for a few words from beginning to end.
After leaving the street, An Xiu, Meli and Artoria returned to the team's stronghold.
