DanMachi, My Members Are From Slice-of-Life Anime

"There's no time to waste! For the sake of the big villa, I must level up!"

Chapter 297 Huihui: "This is a fateful encounter!"

early morning.

Axel.

Kazuma awoke from the manure-filled stable.

"Ugh... If it weren't for the soul link, I could never sleep so soundly in a place like this!"

He was in debt in the DanMachi world, and his only reason for wanting to go back was to level up and learn new skills.

Now that there's one more person, I can finally get a good night's sleep...

"Well……"

Aqua drooled as she rolled over, her snow-white belly peeking out from under her clothes, looking rather alluring...

"This guy is quite handsome if he doesn't talk... what a pity..."

Kazuma slapped Aqua awake from her dream.

"Ughhhhhh! What, what's going on! Has the Demon King's army attacked?"

"No."

"Was that... an earthquake?"

"nor."

"Then why? It's still dark! Why wake me up like this?!"

Kazuma Sato declared righteously, "Is there even a question? Of course, we should get up and level up!"

"what?"

Kazuma Sato held up his finger and said, "Yesterday we only managed to kill four giant frogs, right? And that was on the condition that I treat you to bubble tea when we get back."

"Same as usual today. You will be the bait. After you are eaten by the giant frogs, I will finish them off! Let's try to kill 10 giant frogs before dark. That way we can get 5 Eris and we won't have to sleep in the stables tonight."

Aqua instantly broke down: "No, no! I never want to be covered in that disgusting slime again! No, no! I'm never going again!"

Kazuma said kindly, "Don't you want to go to that world again? You know, as long as you recruit believers in that world, you won't have to work and can just lie around and enjoy yourself."

Gudong.

Aqua swallowed.

Kazuma continued to persuade:

"I've heard that the powerful gods of those clans can even squander their wealth at will, living a life in the mortal realm according to their own desires. Doesn't that tempt you?"

Aqua swallowed again: "I..."

"Don't hesitate!" Kazuma Sato patted Aqua on the shoulder: "As long as you agree to my plan and let me level up as soon as possible, we'll work together to create a wonderful world where we can sit back and count money!"

"At that time, we can spend money to hire countless high-level adventurers to help us defeat the Demon King!"

Aqua's eyes lit up: "That's a great idea!"

"Alright!" Kazuma Sato stood up. "The first step to a better life begins with defeating the giant frog!"

"But before that, we need to recruit companions!"

"Recruit companions?"

Kazuma Sato chuckled wickedly, "Anyone will do, as long as they can be used as bait! That way, Mr. Sato can deliver the decisive blow and reap experience points and a great achievement!"

"Oh!!!"

……

Stepping into the rising sun.

Kazuma Sato, full of pride, pushed open the guild's door:

"Hey! I am the reincarnated hero! The wielder of the strongest water high priest! My destined party member! Answer the call and appear before me!"

The air was silent.

The guild hall was completely silent.

Aqua covered her mouth, trying not to laugh: "Pfft, hahaha, what time do you think it is? How could anyone be waiting in the guild hall at this hour?!"

Kazuma Sato remained unmoved, still holding the door open: "No, you're wrong!"

……

Inside the guild hall, on a long bench.

A girl dressed in a black cloak, a black robe, black boots, holding a staff, and even wearing a pointed hat, standing up—a typical mage—stood up!

She covered her eyes with a cross-shaped blindfold, revealing one slightly languid, sleepy-looking red eye.

Her jet-black, lustrous hair, just long enough to touch her shoulders, danced in the breeze as she began to sing:

"This is a fateful encounter! Reincarnated hero! I am Huihui! My profession is 'Archmage,' and my ultimate magic is enough to cause mountains to crumble and the earth to split!"

"There really are! A 'very idle' guy who comes to the guild before the sun has even risen!" Aqua exclaimed in astonishment.

Huihui patted her chest and said, "That's right, this is a miraculous encounter. So, does your team need a powerful mage capable of destroying any enemy in one blow?"

Chuunibyou (middle school syndrome)? Destroying any enemy with a single blow?

Sato Kazuma's eyes sparkled!

He had witnessed firsthand how terrifying those chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) patients were in the dungeon!

In Xia Jia's words, they are a group of people with exceptionally high qualifications, each of whom is the protagonist of their own story!

"Is what you said true?"

Huihui raised her head: "Of course!"

Aqua said, "Those red eyes... could you be a member of the Crimson Demon Clan?"

Huihui nodded: "That's exactly right!"

Kazuma: "The Crimson Demon Clan? Not chuunibyou?"

Aqua said:

"The Crimson Demon race is born with high intelligence and strong magic power, and most of them have the potential to become expert-level mages. The distinctive features of the Crimson Demon race are their red eyes, which are the origin of their race name... and the fact that everyone's name is very strange."

"According to this child, 'one-hit kill' might be true."

Sato Kazuma thought, the name is alright... It seems a bit strange in the Sakurajima dialect, but it's too ordinary in Iwakuni's standard Mandarin.

However, none of that matters!

Anyone is fine with me! As long as they can help me level up. Whether I can live in a big villa in the future depends on how many cabbages I can catch! I must improve my strength before the holiday!

"Yosh! I choose you! Megumin!"

Kazuma Sato made the decision.

At that moment, Luna, the guild's receptionist, yawned as she entered through the door.

Kazuma Sato leaned closer: "Luna-san, please give us your request for today!!"

"It's early... Mr. Adventurer." Miss Luna took out a list of commissions from her pocket and said, "I haven't had time to post it yet. If you're in a hurry, I'll show it to you first."

Kazuma Sato subconsciously flipped through the requests, then pulled out the one about exterminating the giant frog...

Huihui leaned closer: "If possible, I'd like to challenge a high-difficulty monster... To be honest, if I don't make any more money, I'll have to sleep in the stable tonight."

Kazuma Sato was speechless: "The stables..."

Aqua: "Where's the stable...?"

Huihui: "What happened to the stables?"

Kazuma raised his fist: "It's decided! From today onwards, I will never sleep in the stable again!"

He buried himself in finding new commissions.

High difficulty...

Kazuma Sato paused for a moment. If the archmage in front of him was really as strong as she said, then it would be a good opportunity to gain experience.

The people in this world don't give favors; I get most of the experience points from defeating monsters...

Without hesitation, Kazuma Sato flipped through the documents again and found a request to defeat a giant demon slime...

"This one……"

Luna saw Kazuma's explanation: "Recently, the number of demonic monsters near Axel has started to increase. To be honest, several teams have tried to defeat this slime, but none of them have succeeded."

Kazuma Sato handed the request form to Megumin: "Can you handle this? Let me make it clear first, this is the team's interview monster. We'll decide whether to hire you based on your performance!"

Huihui patted her chest and said, "No problem! I can take down any monster in one hit!"

One-Punch Man?

Kazuma Sato smiled: "Very good! Then, let's set off! The reward for this mission is 150,000 Eris. How about 50,000 each?"
