Chapter 283 Even though I'm very upset, I can't find a reason to refute
After defeating the leader of the Demon King's army, Barnir, everyone in the team seems to have entered a period of burnout.
Even if the kingdom's bounty has not yet been distributed, and they have not performed particularly well in the battle, they also look like they don't want to work.
The most obvious performance is Sato Kazuma.
After all, this guy's wish has always been to squat at home as a waste material to be raised by others.
The kingdom's rewards for the officers of the Demon King's Army have always been generous. According to Senna, the inspector of the kingdom, the reward issued by the kingdom this time will be [-] million Eris, who is the headless horseman.
Such a huge amount is completely enough for them to live comfortably for most of their lives, not to mention that Xiao Lin also stole a lot of spoils from the Lord's Mansion.
I've mispoken.
It is to take the bounty that the unscrupulous lord took away before, and take this opportunity to get it back, even without the lord's consent.
However, the lord didn't get their consent at the beginning, so it was offset by one person at a time.
Therefore, Sato and Zhenxin became a squatting at home with peace of mind.
It's just that he ignored other people's feelings.
Leaving aside Darkness, Aqua also played a certain role in fighting the Demon King Army cadres, and the others are just background boards, how can they (only Megumin) be satisfied?
"Hurry up and go to the task!"
"……I do not want."
"That's to say, Kazuma, don't curl up in the bed anymore, let's move around!"
"I do not want."
"I said Kazuma, how long are you going to dawdle, get up quickly!"
"I do not want!"
No matter what Darkness, Aqua, and Megumin say, Kazuma Sato has always opposed Sanren.
Wanting him to do the task is simply wishful thinking!
Never step out of bed today!
"Kazuma, if you don't go to work, we won't have dinner today."
"……What did you say?"
Hearing what Darkness said, Sato Kazuma's first reaction was not to believe it.
They have crusaded the cadres of the Demon King's Army, and they have also obtained a lot of spoils from the Lord's Mansion. How could it be possible that today's dinner is not available?
It must be a lie to trick him out!
Just when he thought he saw through the lie, Darkness asked his soul: "Don't you know that Kazuma doesn't know that the kingdom's bounty will be issued after a while."
"……Eh?"
"Because the bounty can only be issued after verifying the authenticity, and it usually takes about a week."
"No way!"
Sato Kazuma was dumbfounded.
He really doesn't know!
Every time a bounty was issued, it was the hateful lord who took the bounty first, and it never reached his hands!
And it took a week to get it, just like a homeless man who wanted to fight hard and bought a lottery ticket. He didn't expect to win a prize of tens of millions and was ecstatic. Wait for a while, but he is worried about the whereabouts of today's dinner.
Where does this make sense.
"Wait a minute, I always feel that something is wrong."
Sato Kazuma stretched out his hand, made a stop motion, and asked again: "I remember getting back a lot of spoils from the lord's mansion..."
"I sent those things to Wiz's magic tool shop."
"Senior Kobayashi?"
"Little Lin, you're back!"
It was Kobayashi who just came back from the outside who answered him.
Sato Kazuma wondered: "Why did you send it to Wiz's magic tool shop? Could it be that she was selling it? But can the shopkeeper who has the special skill of getting poorer as you work really be able to sell it?"
Kobayashi said, "There's no need to worry about that, because Barnier is here."
It has to be said that the Duke of Hell is really a good hand as a businessman, and he managed Wiz's magic item shop in an orderly manner in just one day.
If it wasn't for Banir's reluctance to come, and his natural discord with Akuya, Kobayashi really wanted him to be his housekeeper.
Let the Duke of Hell, the former cadre of the Demon King Army and the leader of the demons, be the housekeeper.
Think a little excited?
On the other side, Sato Kazuma held his head and said in disbelief: "So, our team doesn't even have money for today's dinner?"
"exactly."
Darkness nodded.
At this time, Yoyo, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said timidly: "Well... If you don't mind... I, I still have a little money here, which should be used in an emergency."
"Really? Thank you, Yoyo, you are the real hero!"
Huihui saw Yoyo take out a small bag of Eris from her arms, her eyes lit up and she wanted to grab it.
But at the moment she was about to meet, she was held down by Sato Kazuma.
"Wait for me! What do you want to do, idiot little loli!"
"What are you doing? Can't you see Kazuma? Yoyo chose to sacrifice for everyone. As her friend, I naturally want to fulfill her! Let go, don't stop me!"
"You're just greedy for Yoyo's property! Also, why are you talking so tragically!"
Sato Kazuma rolled his eyes angrily.
No matter how scumbag he was, he would never rob his companion's property, how could he be as open to money as Hui Hui?
...Don't say it, it looks like a lot.
The bulging should look like 30 to [-].
Didn't expect Yoyo to be a hidden little rich woman?
Sato Kazuma stared at the money bag greedily, his eyes shining like a big bad wolf about to eat a little white rabbit, Yoyo shivered shyly and subconsciously shrank behind Kobayashi.
As if feeling too rude, he forced his gaze back again.
If it was Aqua, Darkness, or Megumin, Sato Kazuma would have taken the money and spent it without any burden.But Yoyo has just joined the team, and is the only normal person in the team so far, he really can't do such a scumbag thing.
"Forget it, let's go to the task."
Sato Kazuma is like a beaten eggplant.
"Mr. Kobayashi! Are you there, Mr. Kobayashi!"
Suddenly, someone knocked violently on the door of the mansion.
The one who came to the mansion was Senna, the former kingdom prosecutor who framed Kazuma Sato as a criminal and even made him suffer in prison.
Seriously, isn't she coming to the mansion a little too often recently?
Sato Kazuma was a little disgusted.
The good-looking and perfect-looking prosecutor of the kingdom in front of him has been coming to the mansion to learn more about Barnier, the cadre of the Demon King's army, which made him quite uncomfortable every time.
As expected of an evil spirit at work, he was too serious about his work, and Senna was definitely one of the people he didn't want to meet.
"Sato Kazuma, are you thinking about something bad again?"
"...You misunderstood."
"Hey, why are you saying honorifics all of a sudden?"
"You think too much."
Sato Kazuma put on a poker face, but he couldn't help cursing inwardly: I forgot, this evil spirit still has a strong sixth sense, damn it!
Then he quietly hid behind the crowd.
At the same time, Akua suddenly said: "Leave this man alone. Compared to this, seeing you running over in such a panic, there should be something wrong, right? Could it be that the bounty issued was deducted by the lord again?"
If we were to rank the members of the team in terms of who cared most about bounties, Akuya would definitely be number one.
In order to be able to eat, drink and have fun, she paid the most attention to the bounty.
"Uh, the bounty hasn't been issued yet." Senna pushed her glasses and explained, "The kingdom is still verifying the matter of the crusade against the officers of the Demon King's army."
"Then what are you doing here?"
Hearing that there was no money, Akua lost interest.
Like those salespeople who immediately lose enthusiasm when they see the poor, it looks horrible.
Senna sighed helplessly.
Fortunately, she was used to how they behaved, otherwise she would have been very angry.
I had no choice but to say to Kobayashi: "Running lizards... There are a large number of monsters called running lizards appearing outside the town, and the adventurers in the town are currently in charge of hunting down them. Although running lizards are usually not such dangerous monsters, they seem to have entered the town now." Breeding season, and the queen of the running lizards seems to have been born."
"A running lizard?"
Kobayashi pinched his chin.
Luna had also asked him before, or she happened to see the mission announced, and then asked him accordingly.
The running lizard is usually very gentle, only when the queen is born to pair with it, it will become violent.And the way they race is also very special, that is - running.
They walk on two legs and run at amazing speeds.
Very similar to the umbrella lizard.
And the usually docile running lizard, if it is for a race, no matter whether the opponent is a horse or an ostrich, it will kick down without fear, and then run away directly.
The kick of the running lizard is very sharp. If the kick hits a vital point, it won't just break a bone.
So the guild issued a mission.
"Then, why did you come here to find us?" Akuya was quite puzzled, and asked in confusion, "Didn't the guild already release the task? Others should have already done it, right?"
"What are you talking about? It is our team's duty to protect the people. Isn't this sentence the purpose of your team?"
Senna looked at Kobayashi happily.
Those straightforward eyes made people dare not look at each other.
When attacking Barnier before, Kobayashi did say this slightly handsome sentence in order to convince her.But that was an acting skill that was deliberately shown to fit the script. Could it be that Senna took it seriously?
Kobayashi couldn't speak.
Just as he was afraid of destroying a child's pure dream, he couldn't bear to break Senna's vision.
It's definitely not the fear of being thrown into jail by the other party.
Well, absolutely not.
How to do it……
To be honest, Kobayashi didn't want to do that task.
Judging from the configuration of the team, it is really difficult to do that kind of task, but it is completely impossible to say.
think carefully.
How can it be possible for a team that can defeat the cadres of the Demon King Army to defeat the running lizards that ordinary adventurers can defeat?
Kobayashi gestured to Kazuma Sato with his eyes.
I hope this guy who doesn't want to go to work stays at home and sticks to his ideas, and then he can use this as an excuse not to continue this task.
however--
Akuya waved her hand, and said as if disgusted: "Let me tell you, it's better not to say that to that dead house, it's a waste of effort."
"........."
Sato Kazuma would remain silent.
He won't be fooled by mere provocation.
Akuya continued to disdain: "But there is no way to do it. After all, Kazuma is the lowest level among us. It is only natural to be afraid."
"...Hey, wait a minute, when did I become the lowest in this group of people?"
Sato Kazuma retorted subconsciously.
Among this group of people, is there anyone who can be higher than him?
"Akua...forget it, your level doesn't matter. But Megumi, your level..."
"26."
As if to show off, Megumin threw the adventurer card on Sato Kazuma's face, the way it was flung was a bit irritating.
Although I was very upset, I couldn't find a reason to refute.
Sato Kazuma carefully looked at the adventurer's card: "26, what the hell..."
"Because I cast explosion magic every day."
Megumin said it as a matter of course.
I forgot, the second-year burst girl takes explosion magic as a compulsory homework every day, and she is No. 1 in terms of diligence.
but!
"What about Darkness, the Darkness that can't beat the enemy is the most difficult to upgrade, right?"
"Ha ha."
The female knight sneered, and confidently put her adventurer card in front of his nose.
--twenty.
"Why is it so high?"
"When I fought against the Demon King's Army officer Barnir, almost all the masked dolls that he made were my subjugation. It is difficult for ordinary people to deal with that, so it seems to have a lot of experience points, so...! "
Darkness showed off triumphantly.
The corners of Sato Kazuma's mouth moved slightly.
I didn't expect that all of them were of a higher level than me. What's going on?
"That... Mr. Kazuma, please don't be discouraged, as long as you work hard, your level will definitely catch up."
The only good boy in the team, Yoyo who is considerate of others, is currently cheering him on.
No contrast, no harm.
Sato Kazuma was very moved.
But he still asked, "Yuyou, what's your level?"
"This, this..."
Youyou's eyes are aiming randomly, her index finger is crossed in front of her chest, and her mouth is moving slightly, hesitant to speak.
Sato Kazuma's eyes lit up.
Could it be that……!
"Don't think about it, Yoyo's level is higher than mine."
"—Gah?!"
Huihui's words shattered his fantasy, and he looked at Yoyo in disbelief.
But found that the next patriarch of the Crimson Demons nodded awkwardly, which made Sato Kazuma's eyes darken.
"Hezhen is really an idiot."
Huihui said: "I don't think about it, but Yoyo is a lone adventurer. No one is teaming up with her, and the tasks can only be done by herself. Of course, the experience is exclusive. And after learning intermediate magic, she also learned advanced magic. Magic, how pitiful she is... no, how hard she worked."
"Poor? You just said you were pitiful, Huihui! Why did you say pitiful, Huihui! I said, Huihui!"
Seeing the sympathetic looks from other people, Yoyo was very anxious.
Regardless of the good friends who are fighting, Sato Kazuma looks at Kobayashi.
"Are you sure you want to see my adventurer card?"
"...Forget it."
No need to think about it, you can guess that there is a big gap between the two.
Sato Kazuma took out his adventurer card from his arms, and the level displayed on it was thirteen.
He is indeed the lowest in the squad.
Something is wrong!
There are nine points that are wrong!
Aqua and the others said before that for a weak class like an adventurer, the level should be easier to raise than a higher-level class... Why is his level so low?
Senna was a little curious when she saw his heartbroken look.
"What is Kazuma-san's level? As a member of the team that can defeat the Demon King's army cadres, you must have a high level."
"...Okay, it's decided! Let's hunt down the running lizard!"
Sato Kazuma bypassed Kobayashi and issued an order.
He decided to try harder.
