"Huh? Aqua, you're so enthusiastic?" Toki asked, looking at her in surprise.

"Shichen, how can you say that to me? I am the goddess of water, isn't it normal for me to be positive?"

"......Yeah?"

"What does 'time' and 'water goddess' mean?" Megumin asked Aqua, puzzled.

"Speaking of which, Aqua's name is indeed the same as the water goddess's," Yu-Yu remarked, remembering the fact that it was hers.

Although they share the same name, she doesn't believe that Aqua is the goddess. She is beautiful, but unfortunately, her initial impression of her wasn't very good.

Who in their right mind would think that a pretty girl with food residue all over her mouth is a goddess?

Even abnormal people wouldn't notice.

"Don't worry about it. She's just like you guys, she likes to call herself whatever she wants. It just so happens that her name is the same as the Goddess of Water, and it's a little nicer too." Shi Chen made up a reason casually.

Aqua was not happy at all. She clung to his arm and shook it playfully, saying, "What are you talking about, Tokimitsu? I am the goddess of water, okay!"

"See that?" Shi Chen ignored her and turned to Huihui and the others.

"Oh, I understand." Huihui nodded knowingly.

"Um..." Yuyu said cautiously, "Shichen, did you and Aqua really just meet?"

"Yes, what's wrong?"

"Then, why is she hugging you like that?"

"Oh, don't worry about it. That's just how she is, she has no sense of boundaries. You can all learn from her, I don't mind."

"Learn from her? Hmm..."

"Yuyu, what are you shy about? How can you compare to Aqua like this?" Megumin scolded her in dissatisfaction.

"W-what did you mean by 'better than'... Don't talk nonsense!" Youyou blushed.

"Hmph! You're just a bunch of flabby fat, completely useless. At this rate, Aqua will take your place sooner or later, and Tokiomi will definitely be captivated by her flabby fat!"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Shi Chen pressed her little head down in an annoyed tone.

"I'm just telling the truth! Unless you're not a man!"

"..."

“Shi Chen isn’t that kind of person,” Youyou interjected.

"Heh~ You still don't understand men at all!" Huihui sneered, "Look how much he's enjoying himself right now? He can't even stop smiling."

"Shut up!" Shi Chen quickly stopped smiling and roughly rubbed her head.

"Are you getting angry because you're embarrassed?"

"You talk too much. Hurry up and find a task to do, or we'll be sleeping in the stables in a couple of days."

"A stable? That's not allowed!"

"Then why are you still talking nonsense!"

"Alright, let's pick the mission with the highest reward! I'm not afraid of any monster, my Explosion Magic can handle it!" Huihui shouted confidently.

"Dream on. Just choose the easy tasks and level up first."

"why is it like this......"

"Youyou, what do you think?"

"Huh? Oh, I'll do whatever you say." Yuuyu turned her gaze away from Aqua and replied hastily.

"Really? What about you, Kazuma?"

"Brother Shi, I think you're right. Let's start with some simple tasks and earn some money to buy some equipment first."

"Okay, let's pick a low-difficulty task that we can earn money by doing a lot of them."

"It seems... there aren't any missions..."

As Sato Kazuma said, Toki and his team looked around but didn't see any decent missions, just a few that looked particularly dangerous.

"Isn't this the starting village? Why aren't there any easy quests?" Kazuma Sato couldn't help but ask.

“It’s very simple,” Aqua replied. “Precisely because it’s a beginner’s village, there aren’t many quests.”

"What do you mean?" Huihui asked.

“This is the starting village, the furthest from the Demon King’s castle. No one comes back to attack here, and there are a lot of newbies gathered here. The easy quests have already been taken.” Aqua explained, spreading her hands.

“Okay…” Sato Kazuma understood immediately.

"Then what's the point of us coming here?" Huihui couldn't help but ask.

"It's simple." Shi Chen smiled and ruffled her hair. "Our meeting alone is already very meaningful. With companions, where can't we go?"

“Time…” Youyou looked at him with admiration.

"Brother Shi, you really know how to talk. As expected of a Chinese person, you're really something." Sato Kazuma gave a thumbs up.

"Get lost! What I said is the truth, and besides, this place will be very lively in the future."

"Really? How did you know?" Huihui asked.

"Just trust me."

“I believe you’re fine with it, but what do we do now? Without missions, we won’t earn any money, and without money, we’ll have to sleep in the stables, just like you said,” Huihui reminded her.

Time: "......"

"Brother Shi, I don't want to sleep in the stable anymore."

"I don't want the time either!"

"What? You two even slept in the stables?"

"Ahem, yes..."

"What's it like to sleep in a stable?" Huihui asked curiously.

"Hmm... Aside from the strong smell and the slightly unpleasant smell of straw, everything else is fine."

"Isn't that bad at all?"

"That's why I don't want to sleep in the stables anymore!" Kazuma Sato shouted.

"Alright, alright, you don't need to worry about that. If there really aren't any other tasks, I'll just take on these difficult ones..."

"Mr. Shichen, are you having some kind of trouble?" Just then, Luna walked over.

"What are you doing here?" Huihui immediately stared at her warily.

"Of course I'm here to help you." Luna smiled, waving the quest scroll in her hand.

"Huh? What is this?"

"The mission that was just released is perfect for you, Mr. Shichen." Luna handed the mission scroll to Shichen.

Shi Chen took it, opened it, and saw six large characters written on it.

Slay the giant frog!

Chapter 117 The Giant Frog Performs Consistently

"Slaying the giant frog?"

The people who had gathered around saw the details of the mission and asked questions.

Shichen handed the scroll to Sato Kazuma, who dared not approach, and looked at Luna, waiting for an explanation.

“Yes.” Luna nodded gently and explained professionally, “It’s the breeding season for giant frogs. Their huge bodies are bigger than cows. Once they enter the breeding season, they want to replenish their energy to lay eggs. Therefore, they will appear in human settlements where there is plenty of food and can swallow a farm goat whole.”

"A giant frog..." Shi Chen couldn't help but twitch his lips.

In this world, if there's anything that left a deep impression on him, the giant frog is definitely one of them.

Although he had never actually seen them, it did not prevent him from having a physical aversion to them.

"It's just a frog, is it that amazing?" Kazuma Sato asked ignorantly after reading the mission.

"Don't underestimate them!"

Luna emphasized with a serious expression: "Giant frogs can swallow a whole goat in one gulp, so it goes without saying that they can swallow humans whole. In fact, every year during the breeding season of these toads, children in the village and farmers often go missing."

"That scary?" Kazuma Sato was frightened.

"Hmph! They're just big frogs. Watch me wipe them all out in no time!" Huihui said disdainfully.

"I told you not to underestimate them."

Luna said earnestly, "Although they look like just giant frogs, they are extremely dangerous monsters. The weak monsters that have been driven away from the town are no match for them. However, their meat is not bad. Although it is a bit tough, it has a light and refreshing taste and is a very popular ingredient."

"Huh? What the heck is that last sentence?" Kazuma Sato couldn't help but complain.

"Kazuma, have you never eaten a frog?" Toki asked him with a smile.

"No... I've never seen this kind of ingredient before."

"That's a pity, frog meat actually tastes similar to chicken."

"Is that so? Brother Shi, you've eaten this before?"

"Actually, I've never eaten this stuff, I've only heard that it's like this."

"what the hell."

"Now that we're in this world, and this giant frog's meat seems to be a common food here, we might as well give it a try."

"That thing... is it really edible?"

"Don't worry about that," Luna assured her, "Food made by our guild's chefs is absolutely delicious!"

"..."

"No matter what, let's accept the mission first. This mission shouldn't be too difficult for us. Youyou can handle it on her own."
