I like traveling the most

"Everyone, I have to tell you a piece of bad news here.♦♦  ♦♦"

Sato Kazuma 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 only Aqua guessed what he was doing, so it was useless.

However, the bad news he said attracted everyone's attention.

Aqua asked lazily: "What's wrong with you, stupid Kazuma, are you uncomfortable? If so, why not let me help you heal."

She, who is called the goddess of water but is actually a stupid goddess, is now curled up in a wide chair and shaking her body, and a mini fountain is spraying out of her fingertips.

It doesn't look like healing, but more like pouring water into his brain.

"Speaking of which, I always feel that my believers have increased again."

"Really, is there anyone stupid enough to join the Axis Church?!"

Sato Kazuma was dumbfounded.

But he quickly rejected Aqua's healing, after all, his head would be full of water like the other party.

Hearing the two people yelling, Darkness asked curiously, "What's wrong, Kazuma?"

"That's right, it's not like you to be so serious." Huihui also agreed.

"What happened, Mr. Kazuma?" Only the innocent Yunyun was nervous to save face.

Ignoring the stupid goddess who was shouting "What did you say?", Sato Kazuma once again posed as before, and slowly spoke with seriousness and grief:

"——We have no money."

"What did you say?!!!"X3

"Huh?"

The high voices penetrated the wall, and their screams could be heard in the courtyard outside the mansion. Fortunately, this is the suburbs, otherwise it would definitely cause a riot.

But this is really bad news!

Aqua was the first to lose her temper. She grabbed Sato Kazuma's collar and shouted excitedly, "Wait a minute, Kazuma! What's the matter with no money? Explain it to me!"

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

Sato Kazuma didn't look like he was joking.

Aqua subconsciously said, "Really?"

Meihui felt something was wrong and asked in confusion, "Kobayashi left a lot of money when he left. How could it be gone in less than a month? Kazuma, could it be that you secretly spent money?"

As soon as this was said, the stupid goddess immediately resonated, and she said without any basis:

"That's right, it must be the stupid Kazuma who spent it! Because you like to go to the succubus shop the most!"

"How is it possible, idiot!"

Sato Kazuma hit her head hard.

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.

"Then..."

"That's because you spent money recklessly!"

Sato Kazuma clenched his fists, stared at them angrily, and said, "Stupid Aqua, you've been eating and drinking in the guild every day these days, and the bubble wine you drank is expensive and high-end!"

"I just drank a little bit of expensive wine, it doesn't matter at all!"

Aqua retorted without giving in.

Meihui also supported her and said, "That's right, and you also drank those wines, Kazuma. And you are the type who will get carried away when you are praised by others, you have treated many guests!"

"You still have the nerve to say that, stupid Meihui!"

It would have been better if she didn't say it, but Sato Kazuma got even angrier when she said it.

The person in front of him was even more important.

The money Kobayashi left 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 the ruins, and the kingdom prosecutor Senna was always keeping a close eye on them, so they paid a lot of money for this.

"If you hadn't always destroyed the ruins, we would have paid such a large sum of money every time! So you should reflect on this!"

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

"Then don't cast magic!"

"No, I'll die if you don't!"

No matter how Sato Kazuma tried to persuade her, the little Explosion Loli just refused to change her ways, even though the team's money was already stretched.

Rather than personality, it's more like stubbornness.

What a troublesome guy.

"Anyway, we have to go on a mission!"

"Eh————"

Aqua booed in disgust.

This useless goddess...

Sato Kazuma looked at her with gritted teeth. If he wasn't going to go on a mission, he would really attack Aqua and teach her a lesson.

Yunyun, who had been listening for a long time, raised her hand and said, "Well, that..."

"What's wrong, Yunyun."

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

After that, Yunyun took out a small purse from her waist. Although it was not big, it was bulging and looked like there was 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 (date), but now it seems that this is more meaningful.

Seeing Yunyun's selfless contribution, Huihui's eyes lit up and she stretched out her hand without hesitation, saying insincere words of gratitude: "Thank you Yunyun, you really helped a lot!"

"Stop it, idiot!"

Sato Kazuma stopped her shameless behavior with a knife.

For some reason, he felt like a scumbag when he saw the action just now, and he was so angry that he subconsciously took action.

"How dare you take money from your companions."

"What does it matter? Anyway, Yunyun is also happy. We can return it to her when the team has money later."

"That won't work either!"

Sato Kazuma is a complete scumbag, but he will never allow such things!

...At least it looks like that now.

Seeing this, Darkness said: "Well, it seems that I have to do a mission after a long absence."

"It seems that this is the only way."

"Damn it."

"Then, that... I will try my best!"

Except for the lazy Aqua, the remaining three problem children did not seem to be opposed, 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 took out a task list like a magic trick, and several women came up to see it.

"What?"

"So Kazuma had planned to do this a long time ago."

"Should I say he was foresighted, or should I say he was too cunning?"

They didn't think highly of Sato Kazuma.

The mission was to [escort the flashing running lizard], which was a very rare flashing running lizard that only appeared once every few hundred years, so the value was high and the reward was ridiculously high.

"1 million Eris?!"

"There's so much reward..."

"Kazuma, how did you get this mission?"

"What tricks did you play?"

The girls looked at him in disbelief.

"Don't say it so harshly!" Sato Kazuma was quite unhappy, but he said with some pride: "How should I put it? After all, I am a hero who defeated the Demon King's army cadres and intercepted the mobile fortress destroyer in succession. Only this kind of high-level mission is worthy of me."

"So you borrowed Kobayashi's reputation."

"Hey!"

Sato Kazuma was exposed and felt ashamed and angry.

Darkness thought for a moment and couldn't help but say, "This mission is really rewarding."

You know, a giant toad is only 5,000 Eris, and an ordinary running lizard is only 10,000 Eris, but escorting a shining running lizard can get 1,000,000 Eris as a reward.

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

"... Not good, I suddenly don't want to do it."

Seeing that the stupid goddess was in high spirits, Sato Kazuma felt uneasy for a while, always feeling that something unexpected would happen. And this premonition was indeed played out later.

————

On the plain.

Sato Kazuma and others escorted the shining running lizard in the cage.

The running lizard with golden light all over its body under the sun looked majestic and extraordinary. In addition, it was a rare species that had not been seen for hundreds of years, so it was no wonder that it could be sold at such an exaggerated price.

Aqua asked, "Then we just need to deliver it to the designated location, right?"

"Right."

Sato Kazuma nodded.

This mission is quite simple. If it weren't for Senior Kobayashi, they might not have gotten their turn. No, this can also be seen as a benefit of fame.

"Not good."

"What's wrong, Kazuma."

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

After saying that, he ran quickly towards the town.

Aqua couldn't help but say, "That guy is always so forgetful, and he's not reliable at all."

"You're the same, Aqua."

"Huh?!"

Meihui's words were a bit hurtful, and the useless goddess was dumbfounded on the spot.

The few of them waited on the plain for a long time.

Aqua was the first to lose patience and complained, "Kazuma, why haven't you come back yet? I'm tired of waiting."

"Yeah, it took so long to wait."

"What delayed you?"

"It must be in trouble."

The other three also echoed. After all, they had been waiting for too long and were getting a little impatient.

At this time, Aqua suddenly said, "Everyone, don't you want to see what the Shining 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, saying, "Don't do that. What if...Wait, Aqua?!"

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

In just a moment, the Shining Running Lizard rushed out of the cage and ran away quickly.

"Wow, is that so?"

Aqua didn't know what she had done wrong. She looked at the shiny lizard running on the grassland and seemed a little obsessed with it.

"Ah, Aqua?!"

"What the hell what the hell... What should we do, Miss Aqua?!"

Darkness and Yunyun were so shocked that they didn't know what to do.

Only Huihui reacted in time and raised her wand and said, "There's no other way. I have to use my [Explosion Magic] to stop it! Although it's very likely to blow it to ashes, there's no other way now. That's right, there's no other way, so don't stop me!"

She looked eager to try.

It didn't look like she had no other way, but rather that she had already planned to do so.

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, it seemed that it had reached a certain critical point. Golden light suddenly flashed on the Flash Running Lizard, 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."

"Well……"

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 bosom 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 surprised.

Not only him, Xiaolin was also extremely surprised.

Hestia, Bell, Ais, Lily... Why, why did they appear here? !

Is there such a plot?

You must be kidding!
