"I...I understand." Youyou pursed her lips, her little face serious.

"Mr. Shichen is right."

Luna smiled slightly and continued, "The giant frogs' thick layer of fat can withstand physical attacks, but they hate metal, so as long as you have enough equipment, you won't be preyed upon. For ordinary adventurers, they are easy targets. You, Miss Youyou, are a magician, so it will be even easier for you to deal with them."

"Is that so?" Youyou hesitated, becoming embarrassed.

"Don't worry, we won't let you solve everything." Shi Chen rubbed her head.

"Ah."

"Then let's not delay, we'll accept this task."

"Okay, I wish you all the best in completing this task, Mr. Shichen."

"Thank you."

After accepting the quest, Shichen led everyone away from the guild and headed straight out of town to hunt down the giant frog.

The giant frog was not far away, on a wide plain not far from the inner city gate, and they saw it just as they left the town.

Just as its name suggests, it is indeed a giant frog, with no extra changes to its appearance except for a few more colors to its skin, namely red, yellow, blue, and green, just like the colors of the Calabash Brothers.

"Is that a giant frog? It doesn't seem like a threat at all," Kazuma Sato said arrogantly, staring at the frog hopping around listlessly.

“Indeed, I can take care of them all with one burst spell.” Megumin nodded in agreement.

"Idiot." Shi Chen tapped her on the head: "Using explosion magic here will affect the town."

"How can that be? I'll feel terrible if I don't use explosion magic!"

"If you feel uncomfortable, just hold it in!"

"Shichen, how could you do this? You're forcing me to endure and not letting me release. Are you a devil? What kind of play is this?"

"Shut up!" Shi Chen smacked her on the head in an annoyed tone.

"It hurts!" Huihui clutched her head and squatted down.

"Brother Shi, who is she...?" Sato Kazuma asked with a strange expression.

"Oh, I haven't told you yet. She only knows explosion magic. You could call her a die-hard fan of explosion magic. She doesn't know any other magic. She only knows a few auxiliary explosion magic spells. But don't worry, explosion magic is the strongest attack method that humans can use. Ordinary people can't learn it at all."

“But… what’s the point?” Sato Kazuma immediately understood Megumin’s limitations.

"Have you forgotten?" Shi Chen patted him on the shoulder: "We're a team."

"what?"

"It's not like we're just letting her do all the work. Youyou knows intermediate magic and can learn advanced magic in the future. As for Huihui, she's our trump card."

"I see, I understand now! I almost thought that Brother Shi only kept her by his side because of his personal preferences."

"Ok?"

"Cough cough, there's nothing there."

"I was thinking of earning more money to get you a set of equipment, but it seems I don't need to."

"I'm sorry! Brother Shi, I was wrong, I will never dare to do it again!" Sato Kazuma knelt on the ground without any dignity and hugged Shi Chen's leg.

"Go away, I don't like being hugged by men."

"No, Brother Shi!"

"Don't worry, I was just kidding."

"Hee-Brother Shi, you're so kind!" Sato Kazuma cried tears of joy.

"Alright, alright, I'm going to assign tasks now, get up."

Ignoring the listless Aqua, Toki said to Yuuyu, "Yuuyu, this time it's just the two of us going first. You know Megumin, and Kazuma doesn't have any equipment yet, so let's put in the effort first."

“It’s okay, we’re a team,” Youyou replied.

"Okay, Aqua, give Yu-Yu some buffs later."

"Oh well."

"Don't take it so lightly. If you earn more money, you can drink more sparkling wine, eat better food, and sleep in a better bed, right?"

"Yes!"

"Then please."

"No problem, leave it to me!" Aqua was energized.

“Okay, you guys stay here. Youyou and I will be right back, Youyou.” Shichen reached out his hand to Huihui.

"Eh! Oh... Oh." Youyou placed her little hand on Shichen's hand.

Shichen gripped his fist tightly, then disappeared from the spot with Youyou, reappearing on the other side of the giant frog.

"Oh—! What is this? Instant teleportation?" Kazuma Sato asked excitedly.

"No, this is called spatial teleportation," Huihui explained.

"I'll learn it no matter what it's called!"

"Then you can learn slowly."

boom--!

Meanwhile, Youyou had already launched her attack.

"Fireball!"

Snapped--!

With just one fireball, one giant frog fell to the ground, and then the other giant frogs began to hop and flee.

"Wow! That's amazing! Keep it up!" Kazuma Sato shouted excitedly.

"Youyou, not bad! You have the flair of my little brother!" Huihui exclaimed smugly.

"Who's your little brother?! Light Saber!"

Another giant frog fell to the ground.

Youyou's magic level is very high. Although it is intermediate magic, it is much more powerful than normal intermediate magic when he uses it.

After all, she was supposed to learn advanced magic soon, but due to the emergency, she had to sacrifice learning intermediate magic as an emergency measure.

She's really a good girl.

However, with her talent, she can learn advanced magic very quickly.

"light saber, fire ball, fire ball, light saber."

Shichen wasn't idle either, recklessly casting intermediate-level spells, causing giant frogs to fall to the ground one after another.

"Shichen, you're amazing!" Youyou praised excitedly.

"Hehe~ You can do it too in the future, let's hurry up and take care of them."

"it is good!"

Under the relentless bombardment of the two, the giant frogs were quickly reduced to few remaining, leaving behind a spectacular sight of frog corpses scattered all over the ground.

"This giant frog is way too easy to deal with! I want to take one down too!"

Just then, Aqua had a sudden thought and acted on her own, targeting a giant frog that was relatively close to her.

"Hmph~ I'll put in some effort too, let Shichen see how powerful I am, and then buy me lots of sparkling wine! Take this, Divine Light Fist!"

"Aqua, wait..."

Tokiko didn't expect Aqua to suddenly want to show off, but it was too late to stop her.

Snapped--

A seemingly insignificant punch landed on the giant frog's belly without making a sound, and then, with a quick movement, it lowered its head and swallowed the stunned Aqua whole.

"Ah! Aqua—!"

"Quick, save her!"

"Don't worry, light saber."

Shi Chen flashed to the giant frog's side and pierced it with a flash of light.

The giant frog fell to the ground, and Aqua slipped out of its mouth, but it was already covered in a sticky mess.

Chapter 118 Aqua Also Has a Fragment of Godhood

"Waaaaah—slurp...waaaah—!"

Aqua lay on her side on the ground, curled up in a ball, and began to sob pitifully. Her body was covered in wet, sticky toad slime, and she smelled foul.

Beside her was a giant frog that was already emitting a burnt smell.

The image of the two figures, one large and one small, was both striking and familiar, and Shi Chen almost couldn't help but laugh.

"Waaaaah... Thank you, thank you, Shichen! Waaaaahhhhhh—!" Aqua couldn't help but burst into tears, crying like a little child, completely unlike a goddess.

Although she never really looked like a goddess.

"Aqua, are you alright?" Kazuma Sato couldn't help but ask, even though they were a bit far apart.

"N-nothing...sniff..." Aqua sniffed, her eyes brimming with tears.

"Well, how about we call it a day? Aqua needs to wash up," Yuyu said considerately.

"Yes, that's true." Huihui said with a serious expression.

She almost grabbed her staff and joined in, but thankfully Aqua acted first.

She couldn't bear to imagine how terrible it would be if she looked like that, all sticky and gooey.

"Alright then, let's go back first. Aqua might need to rest for a while." Toki nodded and turned to walk towards the town.

"Hey? Toki, aren't you going to lend me a hand?" Aqua couldn't help but ask.

"No...that..." Shi Chen paused, turning back to look at her apologetically, "The way you're acting is really..."

"How could you despise me?" Aqua asked incredulously.
