I don't want to be a heroic spirit

Damn it... As expected, being too talented is also a bad thing, it's easy to be hated...

"What are you talking about, weakling, it's just a giant frog, one of the weakest monsters around here."

Aqua interrupted Kazuma's seemingly handsome monologue with undisguised contempt.

"Aqua! Aqua! Don't just stand there and watch! Come save me!"

Kazuma's legs flew up, but the distance between him and the giant frog behind him did not increase at all.

Because he was very poor, Kazuma only bought a very ordinary dagger. If he had full body armor, he wouldn't have to be afraid of these giant frogs, because giant frogs hate the smell of metal, but with only a dagger, Kazuma would never be able to beat them, even if the opponent was a novice monster.

Kazuma seemed to be in danger, and Aqua, who witnessed this scene, was...

"(OMO)"

"Aqua——! Why are you just watching! Did you really betray——?!"

"I don't like your tone, Kazuma. If you are asking for help, don't you think you should be more polite? For example, add "Miss" after your name..."

"Miss Aqua——!!"

Kazuma has decided that when he is out of danger, he will bury this idiot in the soil, leaving only his head exposed, and then let several giant frogs surround him.

"I really can't do anything with you. Hikikomori is really not good. Remember, the one who saved you was Aqua, the goddess of water. After being saved by me, you must be grateful to me. You are not allowed to hit my head for no reason. And you can't refuse me no matter if I ask you for side dishes or wine. And you have to join the Akusis Church after you go back. You must pray to me three times a day, and then..."

Aqua was still talking there, but Kazuma was unlucky enough to be caught up by the giant frog.

It was not unexpected at all. Kazuma was eaten before he could even resist.

Kazuma shouted "Aiya" and stuck his head covered with frog saliva out of the frog's mouth, and then was swallowed back. Then he shouted "Help" and stuck his head out, and was swallowed back again. He stuck his head out again for the third time and shouted in the direction of Aqua, "Hurry up, I can do anything, so save me..."

However, when he saw another giant frog appear where Aqua was originally, and the corner of the frog's mouth was still hanging with a beautiful leg in long boots that Kazuma felt particularly familiar with, he was dumbfounded.

"How did you get eaten by yourself! Aqua——!"

Kazuma screamed in a voice that almost broke his throat: "What should I do if you get eaten, you useless goddess!"

He could feel that he was about to be eaten by the frog.

Ah, I didn't expect to die for the second time not long after dying.

If I had known earlier, I shouldn't have been angry with this mentally retarded goddess and brought her down to disgust her. If I had chosen a cheat at random at that time, I would have taken off by now, right?

There were not many people coming to do commissions this early in the morning. I had listened to what that idiot Aqua said before, saying "No one will fight monsters in the morning, so they won't compete with us for monsters." If I came a little later and there were more people, I could pray for someone to save me.

Kazuma originally wanted to pray to the heavens for an adventurer to come and save him, but he suddenly remembered something and looked at the long leg sticking out of the frog's mouth.

"... If all gods are like this, is there any need to pray?"

Kazuma prayed that there was no Aqua in heaven, and calmly prepared to accept his own death.

Until, he lowered his head and met Nero's eyes.

"Help - Gulu!"

Kazuma was swallowed back by the giant frog after just one word.

"Hmm! Is it the protagonist group? If I hadn't happened to be nearby, it would have been wiped out, right?"

Nero looked at the giant frog that swallowed Kazuma, and another one not far away, and muttered to himself.

"…Is it the hero's luck that's causing this?"

I remember that the hero Kazuma was once described as "a shut-in who has nothing but luck", and his luck attribute is second only to the goddess of luck Eris. What's even more outrageous is that Kazuma said that even if he levels up, his attribute values ​​will basically not change, except for his luck, which is still rising.

This is outrageous. Your luck is already second only to the goddess of luck, and you can still increase it.

Going to the casino in the neighboring country, competing in a game that relies purely on luck, he almost made the other party lose the treasury.

If it becomes a servant's data, he is definitely EX-level in the luck column.

When Nero thought of this, his mind suddenly became active.

What if she didn't save Kazuma?

If she happened to see the protagonist group being wiped out, it was Kazuma's luck that was at work, so that she could save people, then if she chose to stand by and watch... would Kazuma die?

Or will Kazuma's luck cause another accident and save Kazuma?

Hmm! I'm so curious.

Chapter 271 Are you serious about taking a half step back?

In the end, Nero didn't choose to stand by and watch, but rescued Kazuma and Aqua from the frog's belly.

"Sob... woo... sob... woooo——!"

The two people who came out of the frog's belly were covered in thick liquid. It was not clear whether it was the giant frog's saliva or stomach acid or both. It exuded an extremely pungent smell.

Kazuma was okay, but his face looked a little ugly, while Aqua collapsed and cried straight away.

Ever since Nero rescued Aqua, she hadn't stopped crying.

"Um...thank you for your help."

Wa Mari understood the current situation and thanked Nero for rescuing him and Aqua.

"Hmm! I will accept your thanks."

Although she was curious about whether Kazuma and the others would die if she chose not to save people, she would feel very uncomfortable if they really died because she stood by and watched.

"Giant frogs like this are still very common in this plain. Although I don't know what you are doing out here, I advise you to return to the town as soon as possible."

With that said, Nero raised his sword and pointed at Axel not far away.

"The distance is not that far. If you are worried about monsters appearing, I can send you there."

"No... no need, actually we are adventurers too."

In front of Nero, the ghost was surprisingly well-behaved. Maybe he was just pulled back from the edge of life and death, so he was ashamed to show his true self.

Of course Nero knew that Kazuma and Aqua were adventurers, but in order to avoid trouble, she pretended to be meeting them for the first time.

No, it seems like it’s not the first time?

"Hmm? I seem to know you?"

When Nero turned to look at Aqua, who was still sobbing softly, he showed a surprised expression.

Nero's reaction also made Kazuma look shocked... At the same time, an ominous premonition secretly arose in his heart.

"You..." Nero frowned slightly, with a bit of displeasure in his expression, "It seems that you smashed the window of the Eris Cult this morning and then framed it on Yu, right?"

"!!!"

Kazuma looked at Aqua in horror, and Aqua raised her head to see Nero's face clearly.

"Wow! It turns out to be you!"

"You guy! I was still thinking about why you were so happy so early in the morning, so you did something like this! Are you going to die if you don't cause me trouble all day long? Apologize to me quickly!"

"I'm a goddess! A goddess can't make mistakes! So there's no need to apologize... What are you going to do to the goddess's hair! It hurts! Let me go! You nite who has no respect for the goddess at all ! As the goddess of water, I curse you when there is no water when you flush the toilet!"

"You still have the nerve to say that you are a goddess! You obviously couldn't kill even the weakest giant frog, and you were eaten into your stomach and covered in frog saliva. Why don't you call her the goddess of water? Call her the goddess of saliva or the goddess of saliva. How about the goddess of frog saliva?”

"You——! You bastard said something absolutely unforgivable——!"

Kazuma and Aqua struggled together...but soon Kazuma was pinned down by Aqua because his abilities were no match for the other's.

"Very good, you dare to look down on me. It was just my carelessness just now. Just wait and see, as long as I am serious, I can kill that little monster with just one punch. In the name of Aqua, the Goddess of Water! Frog, you are finished! No one can save you!"

After saying this, Aqua walked straight towards a giant frog not far away.

"wait……!"

"How dare you defile this goddess! Leave your disgusting liquid on my beautiful body! Go to hell and repent! This is the wrath of the goddess condensed by the faith of hundreds of millions of believers! Divine Light Fist!"

Aqua's fist suddenly condensed with a holy light that was more dazzling than the sun in the sky, and even Nero subconsciously narrowed his eyes.

Although the special effects are awesome, they are of no use.

Because the giant frog's belly is immune to beating damage.

Seeing Aqua being swallowed by the giant frog again, leaving only two legs facing the sky, Nero and Kazuma actually had the same idea.

"Why don't we just let her be eaten by a frog?" x2

Finally, Aqua was rescued.

But this time it was not Nero who did it, but Kazuma.

Because the giant frog swallowed Aqua and had no intention of talking to Kazuma, Kazuma was asked to kill it with a dagger.

After killing a giant frog, Kazuma looked excited, feeling that he had found a way to kill frogs.

The sky cleared up, and Kazuma felt like he was okay again.

"Next time I deal with these frogs, I'll sacrifice Aqua to the sky... Oh no, I'll sacrifice the frog, and then I'll rush in for the last hit, perfect!"

It's a pity that there are only two people in Kazuma's team, which means that the only one who can sacrifice to the sky...and the frog is Aqua. When the number of people in the team increases, more giant frogs can be held back. It's also easier to deal with.

...isn’t it right? If I could have a more normal teammate, I could kill the frog directly, right? After all, these frogs claim to be something that even novice adventurers can deal with.

As expected, Aqua is still such a waste.

"Woo... Wuwu... Sobbing... I... I actually... lost to a frog twice... and it was stained with frog saliva... it stinks... it smells fishy..."

Aqua, who was rescued by Kazuma, sat on her knees on the ground, sobbing softly.

Aqua's appearance is actually very good. Kazuma's heart was moved for a moment when he first saw her. Judging from her appearance alone, she is worthy of the name of a goddess.

But now, looking at Aqua, who was covered in frog saliva and smelly and dirty, Kazuma could only feel full of disgust.

Quietly turning his head to glance at Nero, Kazuma felt even more disgusted with Aqua.

Not only was this lady as good-looking as Aqua, but she was also much more reliable than Aqua. She managed to kill the giant frog and rescue the two of them in just a few clicks.

Oh, by the way, he hasn't asked the name of his savior yet.

"My benefactor, can I know your name? When I have the opportunity in the future, I can repay your kindness."

"If you come closer to me, you will be repaying kindness with hatred. The smell on your body is really disgusting."

Even Nero, who possesses the tenacious will of a heroic spirit, couldn't help but frown when faced with the stench on Kazuma's body, and took a half step back with an expression of disgust, making Kazuma turn to stone after seeing this scene. .

It seemed as if a very sad song was ringing in Kazuma's ears...

Are you serious about taking half a step back~~?

A small movement can still cause so much damage~~?

"So...is a girl's disgusted expression so harmful? Especially a cute girl..."

Kazuma was holding his left chest, where his heart was, with a very painful expression.

"Sure enough...I am just an ordinary boy...a boy who wants to be loved by girls..."

Chapter 272 On the feasibility of exchanging Aqua for Nero (28/31)

"Hmm! So you want to know Yu's name?"

Nero's sense of Kazuma... wasn't too good, but it couldn't be said to be too bad either.

Although he is a little lustful, a little cowardly, and a little wretched, these shortcomings make Kazuma more three-dimensional and real. Presumably this is why so many people like Kazuma.

Compared with those bright protagonists, Kazuma is more like a living person.

There are many advantages, but the disadvantages are no less than the advantages. He is brave at critical moments, but he always falls behind.

"Okay, then listen carefully, remember it well, and feel honored to know Yu's name!"

Nero straightened his spine, raised his neck as white as a white swan, and spoke loudly with a voice as beautiful as an oriole.

"I am the flower of Olympia, the emperor of Rome, Nero Claudius!"

"It can be said that it is as beautiful as a red rose and as noble as a ruby."

Although there was a high probability that the royal capital was frantically looking for her and Alice who was brought out by her at this time, Nero had no intention of covering up.

Just kidding, His Majesty Nero must always be the most shining and noble one. Hiding in fear will never happen to her.

"It's just that apart from his status as emperor, Yu is working as an adventurer in this town for some reasons, so it doesn't matter if he just calls Yu Nero."

Nero looked at Kazuma and smiled slightly: "Although Yu has only been an adventurer for a few days, maybe you have been an adventurer longer than Yu."
