All eyes turned to the six people in the corner of the guild, whispering among themselves and the adventurers at the same table. They were somewhat surprised by the potential of the suddenly appearing powerful team and were very optimistic about their future.

It seems the group's debut activities were quite successful.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

"Wait, I have something to say!"

Huihui slammed her hand on the table and stood up angrily, saying, "Don't you think Xiaolin went too far? How could he just leave a girl on the ground like that?! Isn't it a teammate's duty to protect a vulnerable mage?"

"Hey, hey, hey, although it was a bit much to leave you lying on the ground like this, didn't I already make it up to you?"

Kazuma Sato spoke up for Kobayashi: "If it weren't for Kobayashi-senpai, you would have gained very little!"

After using the bracelet, Huihui passively captured cabbages within a 10-meter radius. Although there were also quite a few lettuce mixed in, the harvest was still around 100 million Eris.

She had never seen so much money in her life!

If you could easily make so much money just by lying down, who wouldn't want to do it?

"Well...indeed."

Huihui could no longer hold a grudge.

Aqua also said, "Everyone performed exceptionally well in this event! Especially Darkness, whose fearless act of rushing to the front to block and delay the cabbage army truly deserves to be called the strongest defensive crusader."

"Oh, no, you flatter me... My hands and feet are not very nimble; I can only serve as a shield to protect others."

Darkness's cheeks were flushed, as if he was still savoring the feeling of being hit by the cabbage.

Huihui then praised, "Aqua's knowledge of flowers, birds, and nature is also outstanding; many adventurers have received your help."

"Hmph, after all, I am the high priest. Healing everyone is what I should do."

Aqua curled up her little nose.

She gained very little from this activity, not only because her methods were childlike and naive, but also because she wasted a lot of time using magic to help keep things chilled and to take care of other tired adventurers.

Like Darkness, she also received a lot of praise, and many adventurers became aware of her name.

Darkness also didn't neglect the chuunibyou little girl.

"Megumin's Explosion Magic is also very strong. How awesome would it be to be able to take it head-on once!"

"Okay, I'll give it a try sometime."

Huihui was also curious to know if Darkness could withstand her magic.

After all, hers is quite large, so we'll have to bear with it.

(Referring to magic)

"Don't even try it!" After listening for a while, Kazuma Sato couldn't help but complain to them: "What's with this sudden mutual flattery? Are you guys ever going to stop?"

"Ah, I forgot about Kazuma."

"That's right, Kazuma is amazing too. Look at how many cabbages you caught, it's truly impressive."

"That's right, that's right, the title of 'Cabbage Thief' shall be awarded to you."

The three of them showered Sato Kazuma with compliments.

Kazuma Sato rubbed his nose with his index finger and said rather embarrassedly, "It's not as exaggerated as you guys say, I just found the trick."

He doesn't hate mutual flattery in business; he hates it when people don't include him in it.

However, they were not good enough for Kobayashi and Ryuu.

Kobayashi's harvest alone was more than the four of them combined, not to mention Ryuu, who almost wiped out the entire cabbage army.

"As expected, should the MVP be awarded to Liu Zi?"

"I agree."

"Although I am very unwilling, what can I do when my magic focuses on something different?"

"They must have broken the record by now."

All four agreed that Liu Zi was the best performer of the night and praised her highly.

Kobayashi also looked at her: "Ryuu, say something."

"I don't think I did a great job; it's just that everyone else did a terrible job that makes my performance stand out." This is from Liu Zi, who considers herself the weakest member of the Y series, and Verdant.

If that's not good enough, then there's nothing better.

However, everyone was already used to her sharp tongue, and no one felt angry about being looked down upon.

"Haha, that's quite a modest way of putting it."

A really scumbag voice interrupted the conversation.

"Yo, I'm here, Kobayashi... hiccup."

The man, reeking of alcohol, leaned against Xiaolin's back, raised his wine glass to Liu Zi, and said with a smile, "Miss, that was truly an exaggerated green rain."

"It stinks! Duster, drink less!"

Kobayashi turned slightly to the side, creating some distance between them.

"……who is he?"

Not only Liu Zi, but the rest of the team were also puzzled, wondering who this outgoing blond man with a mole near his eye was.

Xiaolin introduced himself to everyone.

"He is Dust, a swordsman, and also my former teacher."

"teacher?!"

"I only had a very short training period. I'll tell you about it when I have time."

Although Kobayashi spoke in a very casual tone, many people felt a strong curiosity about the drunken blond man in front of them.

Duster looked at the crowd gathered around Kobayashi with hazy eyes, a smile of relief on his lips, and said, "I never thought that Kobayashi, who likes to go it alone, would team up with others one day, and with so many people at that. I'm really surprised."

"Don't make me sound like a withdrawn child."

Kobayashi retorted unhappily, "I also talked to you and Chris about forming a team, didn't I? Wasn't it you who said it wouldn't work?"

"I'm sorry, but I can't abandon my companions."

Duster is a scumbag, but he's also a scumbag with principles. He can't bring himself to abandon his teammates and team up with someone else, so he refused Kobayashi's invitation to team up.

This is similar to Kazuma Sato; no wonder the two of them became close friends.

Suddenly, Duster sneakily approached.

"Hey, Lin, you've made a lot of money, haven't you?"

"What do you want to say?"

"Buy me a drink! Since you've made so much money, it's no trouble to buy me a drink."

"sure."

"...Didn't you say you'd never invite me for drinks again? Why did you change your mind?"

Kobayashi's answer was very straightforward, which surprised Duster.

Duster's favorite thing to do is to extort money for drinks from newcomers to the starting town in Axel under the guise of educating them.

Xiaolin was badly deceived by him back then, so she said that she would never invite him for drinks again.

"I'd like to invite you, do you want a drink or not?"

"Of course I'll drink since you're treating!"

If someone is treating you, you'd be a fool not to drink.

Duster came here expecting to freeload; if he refused, wouldn't he have come for nothing?

"it is good."

Kobayashi stood up, raised his glass, and announced loudly in the guild, "Everyone! Drink as much as you want tonight, it's on me!"

"Oh oh oh oh oh oh!!!" xN

Upon hearing this, the entire audience cheered.

Xiao Lin reaped the most rewards today, and he also managed to fool quite a few people with his cleverness. It wouldn't be right not to treat them to a meal to appease their resentment.

"Wait...wait a minute! If he's treating everyone to drinks, then what's the point of inviting me?"

Duster seemed conflicted about Kobayashi treating everyone, and seemed to want him to treat them separately.

Kobayashi said nonchalantly, "Then I'll treat you one more time. You can decide where you want to go."

"Hiss—, what's wrong with you? Why are you so happy?"

"Consider it repayment for saving my life."

When Kobayashi first hunted the giant frog, he was unprepared and careless, and was swallowed whole. Just as he was about to die, he was saved by the previously mentioned Duster.

This led to the Duster training incident and the fraudulent alcohol scam.

Duster's eyes flickered after hearing this, and he whispered to Kobayashi, "In that case, I'll take you to a good place."

"A good place?"

"A very secluded place in Axel, but a favorite spot for men."

For some reason, I always felt that his expression was licentious.

Is he going to lead me there?

Chapter 19 Succubus Shop, Private Customization

It was a wild night, and almost all the adventurers got completely drunk.

While it's understandable to drink excessively when someone is treating you, driven by the desire to take advantage of any opportunity, it's wrong to act out when drunk.

Finally, in the dead of night, the adventurers were driven out by the overwhelmed female staff.

This concludes the harvest day.

The adventurers returned home in twos and threes.
