Gladly Agreeing

Could this guy be posing as an adventurer while secretly trafficking people? Was he trying to trick me into going with him so he could sell me?

Kazuma could not help thinking that.

This world was not as safe as he had imagined. He had learned from the older workers chatting at the construction site that there was actually a human trafficking business operating in secret within this town.

Realizing Kazuma was not so easily fooled, Takuya decided to change his approach. "Young man, I actually know a little divination. Before leaving home today, I performed a reading, and the gods told me to come here and find a handsome man named Sato Kazuma. He would help me safely complete my Slime extermination quest."

Kazuma was left completely dumbfounded by Takuya's words.

Divination?

It could even tell him my name?

Kazuma was somewhat confused.

He was certain he had never met this man before, so how had he learned his name?

It seemed impossible to explain.

If he really could perform divination as he claimed...

Wait, this world already had supernatural powers, and Aqua was even a goddess. Having something like divination actually seemed pretty normal.

"Fine," Kazuma nodded.

"You agree?"

Delight flashed through Takuya's eyes.

"No!" Kazuma decisively shook his head. Even though the man's story sounded convincing, he still did not want to go.

Although he also thought adventurer requests paid better, they were not safe. He did not know how to do anything right now. Even though he had the goddess Aqua with him, he had come to understand over the past few days that Aqua was completely useless and incapable of doing anything.

Going out with this guy to exterminate Slimes when neither of them could do anything—was that not just asking to die?

Though tempted,
