Dragon Ball: Saiyan's Gourmet Journey

Chapter 223 Spring is here, but my spring is not here

Spring in the Axel region arrived more than a month early.

The ice and snow melted, and the plains came back to life.

The adventurers also became active again after the sluggish state of winter.

"My spring has finally arrived!"

Huihui was very excited early in the morning and put on her full set of costumes as a great magician.

"Why is this guy so excited?"

Aqua asked Yunyun who was standing beside her while biting a piece of cheese bread.

“Meihui has joined a team of adventurers. Today, she will team up with them to go out and take on commissions. If the team recognizes Huihui’s ability, she will have a formal job.”

In response to Aqua's question, Youyou put the grilled bacon on the buttered bread slice, added lettuce, fried eggs, squeezed ketchup, and covered it with a piece of bread. Then, she handed the finished burger to Broly next to her and poured him a glass of milk.

"So, this guy will leave this house soon?"

Aqua was stunned and actually felt a little reluctant.

"That's right. Once I officially join the adventurer team, I won't need to be ordered around by a lazy guy like you anymore!"

Huihui pointed at Aqua and spoke loudly while chewing on her DIY burger.

In order to avoid being a parasite, she volunteered to work as a housemaid in this family.

In exchange for labor, they get the right to live here and daily meals.

From that time on, Aqua no longer called Huihui a parasite, but she would act as the mistress of the house and boss the Crimson Demon girl around, commanding her to do this and that and finding fault with her.

Huihui was fed up with Aqua's harassment, and she became excited at the thought that she would be able to get rid of this bastard woman soon.

"Oh, with your ability and temper, you should not let anyone kick you out."

In response, Aqua said something sarcastically.

"Want me to go with you?"

Broly asked after he finished his sandwich and drank the milk in front of him.

"No, I'm not a child. I can solve the problem myself."

Huihui, 14 years old this year, directly rejected the boy's kindness. She believed that her previous job failures were due to the mismatch between her major and the job.

Now, Huihui believes that the profession of adventurer, which often requires fighting dangerous monsters, is a profession that is very suitable for her and is a suitable professional match.

“I want to show my talents here and make the name of the great magician Huihui stand at the top of the Axel adventurer industry!”

“Master Aqua, please give Megumin some blessings.”

Huihui was ready to go alone, and Broly had no intention of forcing her. He just turned around and said to Aqua next to him.

"Broli, you are still the most thoughtful. It's a pity that some people don't understand your kindness."

Aqua praised her disciple and hooked her finger at Huihui.

"Hey, red-eyed maid over there, come over here and give you some blessings."

"Ha, I don't need your blessing."

Huihui refused.

"Who wants to bless you? If I wasn't afraid that you would die outside and not settle the accounts of eating and drinking for free before working at home, I wouldn't bless you."

Aqua spoke rudely, but still walked over and added a lot of blessings to the girl.

Aqua's blessing was very powerful, it could boost ordinary people to the level of professionals. For Huihui, it was equivalent to giving her a temporary value bonus at the low threshold level of all professions.

"You've given me so many blessings. When I go out to ask you for blessings on weekdays, you don't give me so many blessings."

Darkness complained.

“As expected, Ms. Aqua really likes Megumin.”

Wiz also smiled.

"Ha, I like this flat-chested brat? Damn it, I just don't want our servants to go out as adventurers without knowing their own limitations and come back with missing arms and legs."

Aqua protested loudly.

"Who are you calling flat-chested, bastard? I will definitely come back safe and sound, and I will still have a stable job as an adventurer. I won't be bossed around by a guy like you with sagging breasts anymore!"

That day, Huihui went out in a heroic and angry manner, and when she came back, she was leaning on a magic wand.

When Youyou asked her how the team was going in completing the commissioned mission, Huihui confidently raised her right thumb to show that there was no problem.

"My Explosion Magic was very powerful today. My teammates all praised my Explosion Magic. The captain asked me to recuperate for two days and said that after two days, he would give me a reply that I was approved to join the team."

But two days later, when Huihui went there again, she found that the team that was short of a magician had already found a lower-level magician to replace her.

"Sorry, your explosion magic is too powerful. It doesn't match our team, which often accepts hunting commissions, so..."

Huihui was eliminated. The explosion magic directly blew the target monster into ashes, causing the benefits of the team she joined to be greatly reduced.

After calculating the expenses, the captain of the adventurer team even showed a slight loss, so he naturally declined Huihui.

However, I still have to settle the commission fee from the last mission with Huihui, but as for the loss of costs, there is nothing I can do.

"I actually lost to a low-level magician?!"

For the next two days, Huihui fell into self-doubt.

However, she quickly cheered herself up and continued to look for other teams in the Adventurer's Guild.

however……

"I'm sorry, but we really can't accept a newbie like you, a powerful Crimson Demon Mage. Please find another team to work for you."

While clearing the weeds in the spring orchard, a burst of magic destroyed half of the orchard. The Eris she earned was not enough to compensate for the damage to the orchard, so Megumin was fired again.

"Unfortunately, our team would rather have a more comprehensive auxiliary spellcaster than a great magician who can only hit once and requires us to drain our energy to protect our safety after the attack."

This was the reply given to Huihui by the team that was tasked with completing a difficult mission.

Of course, the team that often accepts difficult commissions also said that if Huihui is willing to learn some practical low- and mid-level magic, they are also willing to help Huihui overcome the difficulties in upgrading in the early stages and become companions in growing and adventuring together.

However, this proposal was rejected by Huihui. Human energy is limited, and if you learn other magic, your energy is bound to be dispersed.

This was something that Huihui, who dreamed of reaching the pinnacle of explosion magic, could not accept.

So, the situation has become like this, Huihui still can't find a stable job that suits her.

The commissions that low- and mid-level adventurers usually accept do not require her explosion magic at all.

For adventurers who challenge high-end commissions, Huihui's Explosion Magic is a good countermeasure card. However, adventurers who can challenge high-end commissions are of a high level themselves. Compared with Explosion Magic, a mid-level assistant can bring greater benefits.

It can be said that except for some extreme subjugation missions where Huihui is useful, her versatility is too low at other times.

After being rejected for a long time when looking for a team to work with, and finally the adventurer team on Axel's side who was short of magicians would subconsciously avoid Huihui when they saw her in the guild, the girl finally realized something.

"In life, you can't always be strong. Sometimes you have to learn to rely on others."
