Chapter 869 The Last Daily Life 49
I am content with making a little money, and I get to meet a troublesome stupid goddess. Every day is so empty... No, this is not the life in the other world I wanted!
He fought against the dragon with the magic sword and the holy sword, was selected as a hero and praised, and fell in love with a team member...!
That should be it, right?
however--
“I worked hard today~”
Aqua sighed.
"Yeah, if you're just going to be feed for the giant toad, you're really working hard, Aqua." Krillin said this to the stupid goddess with a smile.
"……What do you mean?"
"what are you saying."
“I’m talking about you saying I’m giant toad’s food! How dare you humiliate this goddess like that? I…!”
"So Aqua, do you want to deny it? You're covered in sticky toad fluids. Do you want to say that this is actually aloe vera juice and that you got it all over yourself to take care of yourself?"
"Well……!"
Aqua was speechless, and then rushed forward in anger.
"I've decided to cover you in toad slime! Don't run!"
"I don't want it!"
Just when Xiaolin was about to ignore her and turn around to run, a familiar person suddenly walked out in front of him.
"Mr. Kobayashi, Ms. Aqua." Miss Luna, the guild counter clerk, saw the two of them and her eyes lit up. She hurried over and said anxiously, "I'm sorry to bother you right after I got back. I have an urgent mission..."
"Urgent task?"
Kobayashi held down Aqua's sticky face to prevent her hands from hugging him.
Miss Luna, the guild counter clerk, smiled awkwardly and continued, "It's just a gathering mission... Because it's urgent, the amount is set relatively high. What do you think?"
It doesn't look like they were specially selected, but rather they just happened to be seen on the street, so they issued the commission?
"Hey, isn't it great?" Aqua suddenly said excitedly, "Let's go!"
"Are you serious? You're all sticky right now, don't you want to go take a shower or something? You're really smelly and dirty right now."
"For such a trivial matter, look to me!"
A bright blue light flashed on Aqua's fingertips, and then she looked brand new in an instant, not looking like she had been swallowed by a giant toad at all.
"Hey, what is this...?"
"I've just learned a new talent. How is it? Is the talent still useful?"
"……oh oh."
Xiaolin was also slightly surprised.
The interaction between the two seemed to have neglected the guild staff member, Ms. Luna, who was standing nearby. She asked hurriedly, "Um...what do you two think about the commissioned mission?"
"Oh, sorry, it's just collecting." Xiao Lin came back to his senses, and after thinking carefully, he nodded and said, "That's okay."
Although Aqua is always looking for good missions because of money, this emergency mission is really hard to come by. Since they have come across it, there is no reason to refuse.
Hearing Xiaolin's immediate agreement, Miss Luna, the guild counter clerk, said happily, "Thank you very much. I'll leave it to you. I will prepare the formalities for you two when I return."
"Oh, please."
After that, Xiaolin and Aqua headed to the plains of Axel. According to the commission, they needed to collect some herbs. They didn't look like rare items. Although the journey was a bit far, they were not that difficult to obtain. Maybe it was really because it was urgent or they were too busy. In short, it took them less than three hours to complete the collection.
"Okay, the collection is complete!"
"Isn't it amazing? We were able to accomplish this with just the two of us!"
Aqua said this happily. This kind of mission that paid a lot of money and required little effort was her favorite. Of course, there was no one who didn't like this kind of mission. At least Kobayashi liked it very much.
And just as Aqua said, only the two of them completed the mission this time, so the reward will naturally be divided between the two of them. It seems that they will get a lot of money.
Aqua said proudly, "If we get serious, this is what it should be like, right?"
"No, because it's a very easy task." Xiao Lin couldn't help but complain when he heard her so proud: "It's a good thing to be able to make money happily. It would be great if every task was like this."
"Xiaolin, let's take a detour and have a look." Aqua suddenly said after the mission was completed. "We should be able to collect ore in this area that can be sold at a high price. Anyway, we are here."
"What's going on?" Xiaolin felt a little awkward about her words, then thought about what Aqua said, since he was already here, "Well, since I still have the energy to spare, I might as well go take a look."
Then, under Aqua's lead, they walked deeper into the forest. Aqua seemed to know where the ore was, so Kobayashi followed her. Then -
"Just got lost?"
“I’m not lost.”
After hearing Xiaolin's angry question, Aqua stubbornly denied: "I was taking a detour, but I didn't know where the exit was."
"This is called being in distress and getting lost!"
This stupid goddess just keeps on being stubborn. I am really speechless about her. The result is always like this, which really makes people feel unhappy.
"Really, what should I do?" Xiao Lin looked at the almost identical scenery around him and said with a headache: "I don't want to camp in the wild like this. I might die."
“It’s okay.” Aqua was not worried or nervous at all. She even waved her hand and said, “The guild will also tell Huihui and Darkness that we are going on a mission. Then they will definitely be worried about us if we don’t come home for a long time and come to look for us.”
...Why, why does this answer sound so familiar? I can't go home because of something, and I can only pray that other companions will come to find me or something. It's not good, I can't think about it too much, thinking too much will give me a headache.
"Will you come to us...?"
"Trust your companions!"
“It’s very disturbing.”
Just like Megumin believes in Aqua and Darkness, Aqua also believes in Megumin and Darkness... To be honest, no matter whether they have a tacit understanding or not, it always makes people feel uneasy.
Then a long time passed.
"I say, Xiaolin." Aqua said in a very tired and energyless tone, "I'm hungry. Haven't you reached the exit yet?"
"Whose fault do you think it is that you got lost?"
Kobayashi was also a little angry because they were lost because they couldn't find the place to collect ore, so the two of them simply decided to turn around and go back the way they came. However, they were already lost and couldn't find the way out.
"But I'm hungry too..."
Xiaolin touched his shriveled stomach.
You know, he came to the plains to act silly with this stupid goddess early this morning, and returned to the mansion after suffering a huge psychological trauma. Before he could rest, he met Miss Luna, the guild counter clerk, and then went to the plains outside Axel to collect herbs. Now he was wandering back and forth in the mountains and forests because he got lost. To be honest, he had no strength and energy left.
Aqua held her shriveled stomach, looked at Xiaolin expectantly, and asked, "Is there anything to eat?"
"No." Xiao Lin curled his lips in anger, rolled his eyes and said, "I thought this was a mission that could be completed immediately, so I didn't bring any supplies. If we hadn't come to collect ore, if we hadn't gotten lost, we would have returned long ago, okay?"
It doesn't matter which one it is, but it has nothing to do with any of them. Who can stand this?
"How could it be~~It's already over~~!"
Hearing what Xiaolin said, Aqua immediately broke down and burst into tears. To be honest, this guy doesn't look like a goddess at all! ...Hmm, wait a minute, goddess?
Xiaolin looked at the crying stupid goddess and said, "Can't you use the power of the goddess to do something?"
"It's hard for me now!" Aqua said this with a groan. Suddenly, she seemed to see something and said with a happy expression on her face: "Ah! Xiaolin, I found it!"
"Exit?"
Kobayashi said this with some excitement, thinking that this stupid goddess could finally come in handy at a time like this, but he didn't expect this guy to say this.
"That monster! Isn't it edible?!"
"……Are you serious?"
When Xiaolin saw the gray creature with huge teeth and tail, four claws tightly grasping the ground, and small eyes that looked cunning - a relatively large mouse, he felt sick all over.
"What?" Aqua pouted in dissatisfaction and said, "Aren't toads and cabbages delicious? Is this the same?"
"No, no, no, it's different, right?"
Xiao Lin looked at the mouse with some disdain. If it was a mole or a vole, he could still barely eat it, but mice basically carry a lot of germs and their meat tastes pretty bad.
Aqua put her hands on her hips and said, "Are we going to starve to death?"
"Ah...really!" Xiao Lin also felt helpless, and finally could only say reluctantly: "Yes, yes, I get it, knock that guy down and eat it."
"It's a must, that's it!"
Aqua didn't seem to have any psychological burden at all. Sometimes Xiaolin really envied the stupid goddess for being so heartless. As a girl, she could even eat rat meat. However, Xiaolin looked at her seriously and said.
"However, the fact that we ate this monster here should be kept secret between us. If people around us knew about it, they would definitely despise us."
After all, not everyone can accept eating mice. If it is a toad, they can accept it with some difficulty, but this kind of mouse is definitely not acceptable. Especially those girls, they must be disgusted.
"Really?" Aqua also blinked, nodded and said, "Well, okay! I promise you!"
She didn't seem to know why this happened, but she agreed anyway.
Then the two of them ate the big rat. Thanks to this, they had enough energy and strength. Kobayashi realized that he could see the roads around him with his eyes, and then found the way back and returned safely to Axel.
"Haha... I thought I was going to die."
Xiaolin sighed deeply.
"Just as I expected, it tastes pretty good." Aqua licked her lips, looking unsatisfied. "In my ranking, it's at least in the top ten."
"Isn't it because I'm too hungry that I have this illusion?" Xiao Lin couldn't help but complain, but at the same time he nodded and said, "But it's really delicious."
The rat was probably transformed by a time traveler from another world, just like the giant toad, saury, and cabbage. The meat tasted very delicious, not much different from the giant toad.
Xiaolin thought about it, looked at the stupid goddess next to him, and after hesitating for a moment, asked: "... Next time, do you want to go together?"
"Okay, let's go together!"
Aqua said excitedly.
Then after a few days, Aqua seemed to feel that the giant toad made by the guild was not so delicious and seemed to be tired of eating it. She whispered to him: "Mr. Kobayashi, do you want to go to the maze?"
"A maze?...Ah, that one!"
A few days ago, Xiaolin and Aqua were stranded in a nearby ruin and were too hungry to walk. At that time, they defeated the monster that Aqua found and tried to cook it...
I don't know why I feel this way, but it tastes really good. But it tastes good, however...
"No, I went there specifically to eat that or something..."
"Xiao Lin can't forget that taste either, right?"
Aqua said this confidently, and her expression seemed to say, "Don't insist. You are obviously looking forward to it, so just agree to it." He was speechless for a moment and couldn't refute it. Thinking about it carefully, it was indeed true. In the end, he could only sigh and nod.
"Yeah, to be honest, I think about it every day...Okay, let's go!"
"Well~ let's go!"
The two of them happily ran to the nearby ruins. Of course, they didn’t tell anyone about their whereabouts. After all, going into the wild to hunt rats and cook them was something that Darkness, Megumin and the others probably wouldn’t be able to accept.
More than an hour later, Kobayashi and Aqua arrived near the maze, and found a rat that they had eaten last time, and then they simply defeated it.
"Okay, it's down!" Xiaolin picked up the fat rat and said to Aqua with a smile: "Come on, cook it quickly!"
Then he thought for a moment and said, "Last time I just grilled it, let's try to cook it this time... Aqua, what is that?"
His expression suddenly became speechless.
Aqua held up the bottle in her hand and said, "It's bubbly! I thought it would go well with them, so I brought it here!"
"Hey, hey, hey...are you a genius?"
Xiaolin couldn't help but say so, after all, they really match well.
If there is food to go with the wine, wouldn’t it be a waste if there is no wine?!
