I like crossing the most

Chapter 331 Dream Linkage
"Everyone, I have to convey some bad news to you here."

Kazuma Sato put his hands on his chin.

Although he tried his best to restore the COS of a certain commander, there was really no sense of oppression, and Aqua was the only one who guessed what he was doing, so it was of no use at all.

But the sad news he told attracted everyone's attention.

Aqua lazily asked: "What's wrong with you, idiot Kazuma? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere? If that's the case, why not let me help you heal it."

The goddess of water is actually the goddess of fools. She is currently swaying on a large chair, with a mini fountain spraying out from her fingertips.

It didn't look like healing, more like trying to pour water into his brain.

"Speaking of which, I always feel like my number of followers has increased."

"Really or not, is there anyone stupid enough to join the Axis Cult?!"

Sato Kazuma was dumbfounded.

However, he quickly rejected Aqua's cure. After all, he would really be as full of water in his head as the other person.

Hearing the two people shouting, Darkness asked curiously: "What's wrong, Kazuma."

"I mean, it doesn't look like you to be so serious." Hui Hui also agreed.

"What happened, Mr. Kazuma?" Only the innocent Youyou became nervous to save face.

Ignoring the idiot goddess who was shouting "What did you say?" in her frantic mouth, Sato Kazuma once again assumed the same posture as before, and slowly spoke with seriousness and sorrow:

"——We have no money."

"What did you say?!!!" X3
"what?"

The high-pitched sounds carried through the walls and their screams could be heard in the courtyard outside the mansion.Fortunately this is a suburb, otherwise there would have been riots.

But this is really bad news!
Aqua couldn't hold it any longer at first. She grabbed Sato Kazuma by the collar and shouted excitedly: "Wait a minute, Kazuma! What's going on when you have no money? Please explain it to me!"

"Like I said, the team has no savings. To be honest, if we don't think of a way, we might not even be able to eat tonight."

Sato Kazuma didn't look like he was joking.

Aqua subconsciously said: "Real or false!"

Megumin felt something was wrong and wondered: "Xiao Lin left a lot of money when he left. How could it be gone after less than a month? Kazuma, could it be that you spent money secretly?"

As soon as these words came out, they immediately resonated with the idiot goddess, and she said with unfounded responsibility:
"That's right, that fool Kazuma must have spent it! Because you like to go to the succubus shop the most!"

"How is that possible, idiot!"

Kazuma Sato hit her hard on the head.

He did like to go to the succubus shop, but in fact the succubus shop only charged a small fee, so even if he died, he would not be able to spend all the money.

"That……"

"That's because you spend money indiscriminately!"

Sato Kazuma clenched his fists, glared at them angrily, and yelled: "You idiot Aqua, you have been eating and drinking in the guild every day these days, and the bubble wine you drink is expensive and high-end!"

"I just drink a slightly more expensive wine, it doesn't matter at all!"

Aqua pushed back without giving in.

Megumin also supported her and said: "That's right, Kazuma, you also drank in those bars. And you are the type who will get carried away when someone praises you. You have invited a lot of guests!"

"You still have the nerve to say that, idiot Megumin!"

It was okay if she didn't say it, but Sato Kazuma became even more angry when she did.

The one in front of me is even more heavyweight.

The money Xiao Lin left behind before leaving was enough for them to eat and drink, but they still couldn't resist the little Loli's [Explosion Magic] who always liked to destroy ruins. In addition, the Kingdom Prosecutor Senna kept a close eye on them, so they had to pay attention to it. Lose money.

"If you hadn't always destroyed the ruins, we would have paid so much money every time! So you should reflect on it!"

"Who knew that every time I cast magic, I would inexplicably destroy the ruins!"

"Then don't release the magic!"

"No, I will die if you don't let me go!"

No matter how much Kazuma Sato tried to dissuade her, Little Explosive Loli refused to change her mind. It was obvious that the team was already running out of money.

It's more about stubbornness than personality.

What a troublesome guy.

"Anyway, we're going on a mission!"

"Eh----"

Aqua hissed in disgust.

This good-for-nothing goddess...

Sato Kazuma gritted his teeth and looked at her. If he didn't have to go on a mission later, he would really take action against Aqua and teach her a lesson.

Youyou, who had been listening for a long time, raised her hand and signaled: "That, that..."

"What's wrong, Yoyo."

"Actually, I still have some savings. If you don't mind it..."

After speaking, Youyou took out a small purse from her waist. Although it was not big, it was bulging and looked like it contained a lot of money.

This was the savings she had accumulated from doing tasks during this period. She originally planned to go out with Huihui (on a date), but now it seems that it makes more sense here.

Seeing Yuyou's selfless dedication, Huihui's eyes shone and she extended her hand unceremoniously, saying very insincere words of gratitude: "Thank you Yuyou, it's really a big help!"

"Stop it, idiot!"

Sato Kazuma stopped her shameless move with a strike of his hand.

For some reason, seeing what he did just now made him feel like a scumbag, he was so angry that he subconsciously took action.

"You really dare to take action on your companion's money."

"What does it matter? Anyway, she is very happy with it. I will pay it back to her when the team has money."

"That's not OK!"

Sato Kazuma is a complete scumbag, but he will never allow this kind of thing!
...At least that's what it looks like now.

Seeing this, Darkness said, "Well, it seems like we have to do a mission after a long time."

"It seems that's all there is to it."

"hateful."

"T-that...I'll do my best!"

Except for the lazy Aqua, the remaining three problem children didn't seem to reject it, which saved Sato Kazuma the trouble of wasting his saliva.

"Fortunately, I had a plan in advance. Look, this is the mission I accepted in advance."

Then he magically pulled out a task sheet, and the women came over to him.

"what? What?"

"It turns out Kazuma has been planning to do this for a long time."

"Should I say that I had foresight, or should I say that I was too careful."

They don't think highly of Sato Kazuma.

The mission is to [Escort the Flash Running Lizard]. This is a very rare Flash Running Lizard that only appears once in hundreds of years. Therefore, the value is high and the reward is also ridiculously high.

"100W Eris?!"

"There is actually so much reward..."

"Kazuma, how did you get this mission?"

"What kind of trick did you play?"

The women looked at him in disbelief.

"Don't say it so harshly!" Sato Kazuma was quite unhappy, but also said with some pride: "How to put it, after all, he is a hero who successively defeated the cadres of the Demon King's Army and intercepted the Mobile Fortress Destroyer, and this is the only high-level mission. You are worthy of me."

"It turns out that I borrowed Xiao Lin's reputation."

"Hey!"

Sato Kazuma was ashamed and angry after being exposed.

Darkness thought for a moment and couldn't help but said: "The reward for this mission is really great."

You must know that a giant toad only costs 5000 Eris, and an ordinary running lizard only costs 1W Eris, but escorting a flashing running lizard actually costs 100 Eris as a reward.

"Don't worry about so much!" Aqua grabbed the task list and shouted excitedly: "Leave this task to us, we will definitely complete it beautifully!"

"...It's not good, I suddenly don't want to do it anymore."

Seeing that the idiot goddess was in high spirits, Sato Kazuma felt uneasy, always feeling that something unexpected would happen.And this premonition actually came true later.

----

on the plain.

Sato and Shinji escorted the Flash Running Lizard in a cage.

The running lizard, whose body glows golden in the sun, looks majestic. In addition, it is a rare species that has not been seen for hundreds of years. No wonder it can be sold for such an exaggerated price.

Aqua asked: "After that, we just need to deliver it to the designated place, right?" "That's right."

Sato Kazuma nodded.

This task is quite simple. If it weren't for Senior Xiaolin's face, it might not be their turn.No, this can also be seen as a benefit brought by fame.

"not good."

"What's wrong, Kazuma?"

"I forgot to register this matter with Luna. I have to go back to the guild quickly. Aqua, you guys just wait here for a moment. I'll be back soon."

After saying that, he ran quickly towards the town.

Seeing this, Aqua couldn't help but said: "That guy is always so careless and unreliable at all."

"Aqua, you do the same."

"Eh?!"

Megumin's words were a bit hurtful, and the good-for-nothing goddess was dumbfounded on the spot.

Several people waited on the plain for a long time.

Aqua couldn't bear it anymore and complained: "Kazuma, why haven't you come back yet? I'm tired of waiting."

"Yes, it actually took such a long time."

"Have you been delayed by something?"

"You must be in trouble."

The other three people also agreed. After all, the waiting time was too long, and everyone was a little impatient.

At this time, Aqua suddenly said: "Let me tell you, don't you want to see what the Flash Running Lizard looks like when it runs?"

"...Eh?" X3
The three of them were stunned for a moment.

Soon, Darkness was the first to react and stopped him: "It's better not to do that, what if... wait, Aqua?!"

Despite her good intentions, the stupid goddess didn't listen at all and opened the cage first.

In just an instant, the Flash Running Lizard burst out of the cage and ran away quickly.

"Wow, is that true?"

Aqua didn't know what mistake she had made. She looked a little obsessed with the shiny lizards running on the grassland.

"A-Aqua?!"

"What should I do...what should I do, Miss Aqua?!"

Darkness and Yoyo were shocked and overwhelmed.

Only Megumin reacted in time, raised the wand in her hand and said: "I have no choice but to use my [Explosion Magic] to stop it! Although it is very possible to blow it into ashes, there is no way now. That’s right, there’s nothing we can do about it, so don’t stop me!”

She looked eager to try.

It doesn't look like there's no other way, but rather that it's been planned for a long time.

After all, it is a rare species that only appeared hundreds of years ago. Little Loli wants to know whether it can withstand her own magic.

But before she could chant a long and accurate spell, the Flash Running Lizard had already run away.And I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but its figure is gradually disappearing.

Finally, as if reaching a certain critical point, the Flash Running Lizard suddenly flashed with golden light, and the space it was in was distorted for a while, and then it disappeared on the plain.

"--oops!"

At the same time, a cry of pain came from the plain, but unfortunately everyone was a little far away and couldn't hear it clearly.

"Eh... eh?!"

"Disappear, disappear..."

"how come?"

Aqua and others were dumbfounded, not expecting this to happen.

Coincidentally, Sato Kazuma is back.

"Hey, you guys are waiting in a hurry...wait a moment, I just left for a moment, and the running lizard in the cage disappeared. What on earth is going on? Didn't I tell you before? Then It’s a very rare flashing running lizard that only appears once in hundreds of years. Do you have to take good care of it when escorting it?! If it escapes, I don’t know how much compensation it will cost..."

Seeing the empty cage, Sato Kazuma was heartbroken.He knew that as long as he was not around, these problem children would always cause trouble!
"Who opened the cage? Honestly raise your hands and admit it. I won't be angry."

"Uh……"

Although he said this, his uncontrollable anger was already displayed on his face, and naturally no one acknowledged it.

Sato Kazuma sighed and added: "It seems that the mission failed and I have to pay compensation. But I am a very fair person, so let's share the compensation together. I will be hungry for a while, but there is nothing I can do about it... …”

"Wait, I didn't do anything! It's not my fault at all, I was just watching!"

Megumin was not happy at first when she heard that she was going to go hungry.

Darkness followed closely and said: "I also tried to stop her, but before I could stop her, I opened the cage first..."

"Hey, Darkness, Megumin?!"

Aqua was shocked.

She didn't expect the two of them to betray her so quickly.

Sato Kazuma, who knew the truth, glared at the idiot goddess who was the culprit, and shouted angrily:
"——Is it really you?"

"No, there's no way! I want to see what the rare running lizard looks like when it runs! I don't know when I can see such a rare monster next time. How can I not see it now?!"

The idiot goddess demonstrated the teachings of [Carpe Diem] vividly, and what was going on with that confident attitude? Why are you so proud!

The angry Sato Kazuma wanted to beat her.

Megumin praised it and said, "It's really fast, but because the running princess didn't notice it, the proposal failed, which is a bit pitiful."

What are you talking about, this little loli?

Pitiful?
To actually pity the monster?
It's better to pity his wallet first!
Sato Kazuma curled his lips.

Darkness also echoed: "I heard that the Flash Running Lizard ran away in anger and ended up traveling through time and space to another world... It seems that this rumor may not be false."

what is that?
Something akin to an urban legend?

Sato Kazuma didn't care about this. He said angrily: "Hey, since you are free to chat there, why don't you think about how to catch that agile lizard."

"Ah, speaking of which, the running lizard seemed to have hit someone just now!"

"Did you hear it too?"

"Hey, isn't that an auditory hallucination?"

"What should I do? We need to treat him quickly!"

Aqua seemed to have just remembered, calling for Sato Kazuma to hurry up and save people.Of course, treatment is a trivial matter, and even if she dies, she can be resurrected, but she is actually still afraid of being asked for compensation.

At this time, a rather angry voice came from behind her: "——I'm really touched that you can remember it, Aqua."

"Eh?"

The familiar voice stunned Aqua for a moment.

After seeing the person clearly, she opened her arms excitedly and shouted: "Xiao Lin——, I miss you so much!"

"You want me to die!"

Xiao Lin did not accept the warm hug, but rubbed her cheeks with both hands.

Just now, he had just returned from the "Dungeon" when he bumped into something. The huge impact almost knocked his brain into pulp.

"Hey, Aqua, the Flash Running Lizard you just mentioned..."

"Hiss hiss—"

Before he could finish speaking, he heard a strange hissing sound, turned his head and saw a lizard with a golden body.

"Ah, it's the Flash Running Lizard!"

"Hurry up, get it back into the cage, don't let it escape!"

"I see!"

Seeing the high reward for walking, everyone was in a hurry and prepared to go forward and capture it.

However, just as everyone was about to step forward, they saw the Flash Running Lizard open its butt cheeks, and then let out a threatening hiss again.

"Hey, stand for me...?!!!"

Suddenly, Sato Kazuma's words were interrupted because he saw four people falling from the sky.

A little lolita with twin tails and a huge chest bound by a blue ribbon staggered up from the ground and said confusedly: "Ugh~ It hurts... Hey, where is this?"

"Someone fell from the sky?!"

Sato Kazuma was taken aback.

Not only him, Xiao Lin was also extremely surprised.

Hestia, Bell, Ace, Lily...why, why do they appear here? !

Is there such a plot?
Just kidding!
