Crossover Anime: A Dimensional Journey Starting with Frilian

"Let's not talk about that for now. Anyway, welcome Darkness to our team."

"Oh! Does everyone agree?" Darkness asked excitedly.

"Of course, how could a Knight of the Cross not welcome them?"

"thank you all!"

"What did Chris say? Do you want to join us?" Shi Chen asked her.

"No!" Chris shook his head decisively in refusal.

Shi Chen didn't mind: "Alright, alright, if there's nothing else, we'll head back now."

“Go back? Go where?” Darkness asked blankly.

"Of course, we should go back to the hotel."

"Why? Aren't you going to do the mission?"

It's raining today.

"Wouldn't that be more suitable for doing quests? There are more giant frogs outside the city on rainy days, shouldn't we go and hunt them down?"

"Nobody lives on rainy days..."

"I think that's a great suggestion!" Huihui suddenly chimed in excitedly, "I'm in a bad mood today, so I can vent my frustrations on those giant frogs!"

"..."

Chapter 137 Women Only Affect Getting Stronger

Ten minutes later, Shichen, along with the newly joined Darkness, teleported to the outskirts of the city.

Chris didn't follow; she just slipped away, ignoring Darkness altogether.

"Wow—there are so many giant frogs! I'm dazzled." Kazuma Sato exclaimed in surprise as he gazed at the colorful frogs on the distant plain.

"How can there be so many?" Youyou asked curiously.

"Giant frogs prefer rainy days, so they all come out in this kind of weather," Darkness explained, gazing excitedly at the giant frogs.

"I see, perfect timing for me to unleash a burst spell!" Huihui gestured as if to wave her staff.

"What are you doing?" Shi Chen tapped her on the head in an annoyed tone.

"Why did you hit me?" Huihui glared at him in dissatisfaction.

"What do you want?"

"Didn't I say I'd use an explosion spell? Aren't you in a hurry to get back? This way we can finish this sooner and go home earlier."

"The giant frogs are so scattered, how can your explosion magic take them all out at once?"

"That's true, so what should we do?"

“That’s perfect, let me help!” Darkness said excitedly.

"Hmm? How can you help?"

"I have a provocation skill that can attract their attention. How about I lure them together?"

"no problem?"

"Just consider this my performance as a new member of the team! Leave it to me!"

Darkness said, patting his breastplate, and then plunged into the rain, heading straight for the giant frog.

"Haa~ What's wrong with that guy? Wouldn't it be better if he just stayed here quietly?" Aqua yawned and asked with little interest.

"Do you think everyone is as lazy as you?"

"Shichen, how dare you call me lazy? How could you...!"

"Isn't that right? You were just making a fuss about going back to sleep in the guild, and it's broad daylight!"

"But, but, it's raining today, shouldn't we be sleeping? Rainy days are perfect for sleeping, okay?" Aqua pouted and retorted.

"Aren't you the goddess of water? Why do you want to sleep on a rainy day?"

"It's precisely because it's raining that I should be sleeping. Water feels so much better to me, and this weather is perfect for me. I'm sure I'll feel so comfortable that I'll want to sleep."

"......you're right."

"Shichen, let's go back quickly, I'm sleepy." Aqua tugged at Shichen's arm and acted coquettishly.

"They just woke up not long ago, and they even had breakfast... Forget it, it's over now, there's no point in saying all this, let's just finish the mission, okay?"

"Uh—how long will this take?"

"It should be quick."

"OK then."

"Brother Shi, you're spoiling Aqua way too much! She's useless, all looks and no substance." Sato Kazuma couldn't stand it anymore.

"Exactly, Toki, you spoil Aqua way too much! We knew you before she did, so why is there such a big difference? Yuuyu, isn't that right?" Megumin also protested in dissatisfaction.

"Hmm... it's alright," Youyou said shyly.

"What's wrong with you? You're siding with him like this? You've betrayed us like this?"

"what are you talking about!"

"hateful!"

"I haven't really spoiled Aqua much, have I?" Tokichi fell into deep thought.

Does he favor Aqua?

Isn't it just about fulfilling her wish to drink sparkling wine, going along with what she says, and responding to her coquettishness...? It seems like I'm actually spoiling her a bit?

There's nothing I can do. Spoiling her comes at a price, and she'll have to repay me properly in the future.

"Hmph, Tokiomi, you don't actually like Aqua, do you?" Megumin asked.

"It's not that bad," Shi Chen said with a smile and a shake of his head.

He does like her now, but this liking is different from the liking Huihui mentioned.

"Really?"

"Why did you lie to me?"

"Okay, I'll just trust you."

"You're such a busybody." Shi Chen flicked her forehead.

"Ouch...it hurts!"

"Brother Shi, I think..."

“I understand her perfectly well, no need for you to remind me,” Shichen interrupted Sato Kazuma.

"No, I meant Darkness's side..."

"Huh? How come she... uh."

Shi Chen looked at Darkness and realized that she seemed to be a little too excited, and her excited voice could be heard from them.

"Come here! Use your huge tongues to lick my whole body, make me all sticky and gooey, and whip me to your heart's content!"

At this moment, a large group of giant frogs followed behind Darkness, but she was not afraid at all. Instead, her face was flushed and she was talking nonsense with excitement.

There was no need for further explanation; any normal person would understand her situation.

"Brother Shi, Darkness wouldn't be...?" Sato Kazuma asked Shi Chen with a twisted expression.

"Hmm, it seems I couldn't escape your eyes after all."

"Why is it happening like that!"

Kazuma Sato exclaimed, unable to accept it: "Shouldn't she be a cool and sexy older sister type? Why is she a masochist?! This contrast is too much!"

"Isn't contrast very popular these days?"

"Sorry, I can't really accept masochism."

"It's alright. She's maxed out her defense anyway. Combined with her masochistic personality, isn't she perfect for the front line?"

"...Are you sure it's okay?"

"You've already joined the team, what else can you do? Just accept it." Shi Chen smiled and patted his shoulder.

"Damn it! Are there no normal people in this world?"

“Youyou is perfectly normal.” Shi Chen looked at Youyou with affection.

"Um..." Youyou said shyly and awkwardly.

"But Youyou belongs to Brother Shi..."

"Kazuma, you're still too young. A man can't just think about women. Isn't it better to level up and become stronger?"

"...Brother Shi, you can't believe a word you're saying."

"Why? You need to know, I'm already very strong."

"Huh? That makes sense."

"So, women will only influence you to become stronger. As long as you become stronger first, your destiny will naturally come."

"I understand, I trust Brother Shi! I'll go help right away!"

Kazuma Sato, as if injected with adrenaline, drew his short sword and charged toward the giant frog.

"What's wrong with him?" Huihui asked, puzzled.

"Figured out."

"Then what are we going to do?"

"Get your Explosion spell ready. You use your intermediate spell to drive away the other giant frogs and make them run towards Darkness."

"Eh? Is everything okay?"

"Don't worry, Darkness's defense is strong enough to withstand even Megumin's Burst Magic, and there's also Aqua."
