You didn't expect this, did you? I've time-traveled again!

Actually, although it's called a special attack type, there's no one else besides Megumin.

Aqua is a goddess, and her growth has reached its limit; while Sato Kazuma is the worst adventurer class, and whether he changes or not, it doesn't really matter; while Suoh Takeru's cheat skill will make him all-around from the start!

So, transform, Darkness!

"How exactly should we do it?"

"Put down your sword and raise your shield!"

"No!" Darkness refused sternly. "As a knight, I will not lay down my sword!"

"Eh~ Is that so?"

Suoh Takeshi smiled enigmatically, "Even if it's a longsword that can't hit the enemy?"

"Um...okay, but..."

Faced with humiliation, Darkness shyly twisted her delicate body.

Suoh Takeshi advised her, "I'm not asking you to completely give up your sword, I'm just asking you to add a shield."

"Ok?"

"The cross-shaped shield is a type of half-body shield that can hold a longsword on the inside." Suoh Takeshi took out the blueprints he had prepared beforehand and explained his ideas to Darkness.

"How about it? It suits you perfectly, doesn't it?"

The cross-shaped shield is Heathcliff's weapon in Sword Art Online. It is a half-body shield that can hold a longsword on the inside and allows the user to hide behind it.

Unlike in the game, the half-body shield is extremely heavy, and ordinary knights simply cannot lift it.

Unlike Daknis, she possesses exceptional strength and stamina, allowing her to engage in prolonged battles even while wielding a large shield with only one hand!

"This one……"

Darkness fell into deep thought, hesitant and undecided.

"With a shield, you should be able to withstand more damage, which should give you a lot of pleasure."

Suoh Takeshi further seduced her, and then whispered in her ear, "Don't worry, I will train you well until I mold you into the shape I want."

"Disciplining, training... and stuff like that... um..."

Darkness blushed and said, "Okay, fine, I'll agree with what Wu said."

Although she said she was unwilling, her body obediently agreed.

"Heh, a wise choice! You can't escape, Darkness! You are my (squad's) knight!"

He whispered in her ear, his warm breath making her face and fair neck blush crimson, and she lowered her head shyly.

Because of her own imagination, Darkness ignored the words in parentheses.

"That's settled then, Aqua. Let's use this reward to forge a shield for Darkness, shall we?"

Looking at the money pouch in his hand, Suoh Takeshi decided to repay the money later. "After all, Darkness is a knight that our team requested to transform into, so we should naturally provide her with weapons and armor."

The bounty for the quest "Purify the Polluted Lake" is 30 Eris. Aqua deserves the most credit, so if you want to spend money to buy a shield for Darkness, you still need Aqua's approval.

"Sure, Wu Du said so."

Aqua unconditionally trusted Suoh Takeshi and immediately agreed to his request.

Who is this?

Is that Aqua, the selfish, willful, arrogant girl who never thinks before she acts?!

Give me back the real Aqua!

"……Thanks."

Suoh Takeshi wouldn't deliberately cause trouble; Aqua trusts him so much.

But Kazuma Sato clearly didn't believe him, and he shouted, "Are you really Aqua? Or is someone impersonating you?!"

"Huh?! You good-for-nothing Kazuma, I'm a reasonable person too!"

"How could that be? You useless goddess!"

Don't call me a piece of trash!

Aqua and Kazuma Sato were arguing and fighting again.

That said, she did acknowledge the title of "goddess."

"I won't offer any opinions, since I wasn't really needed this time," Huihui nodded, stating her position.

"Well then, let's not delay, let's go and forge a shield for Darkness now!"

Suoh Takeshi led everyone to the blacksmith's shop, handed the blueprints to the blacksmith, and marked the requirements.

"Okay, I understand. Please come back in a week to pick it up." The blacksmith looked at the blueprints and nodded, indicating that it was not difficult to manufacture.

Thank you.

After the deposit was paid, the group dispersed.

evening.

In a secluded corner of the stable, Aqua, Kazuma Sato, and Takeshi Suo sat together.

"Aqua, may I tell Sato about another ability?"

Suoh Takeshi said seriously, "We spend every day together, so there's no way to hide it from each other. I hope you can understand."

"Tell the good-for-nothing and the truth?"

Aqua was somewhat reluctant, but she nodded in agreement anyway, "Since it's Takeshi's decision, let's tell him."

"Hey, Aqua's attitude towards me and Suoh-senpai is so different! And what's with the ability Suoh Takeru was talking about? Why is she being so mysterious!"

Kazuma Sato vented his frustration, feeling excluded.

"Don't be angry, I'll explain now."

Afterwards, Suo Takeshi told Sato Kazuma what had happened to him, including Aqua leading the wrong person and him having two cheating abilities.

"Wait a minute! So, Suoh-senpai also has the ability to travel between worlds?!"

Kazuma Sato exclaimed in surprise, "So cool! Why don't I have such cheating abilities? On the contrary, this useless goddess is completely useless and can't be of any use at all!"

"You pervert, Kazuma, whose fault is it anyway?!"

At this point, Aqua also exploded, crying and yelling as she grabbed his neck, demanding that he admit his mistake.

Well, that's how it is.

Suoh Takeshi gestured for Aqua to lower her voice, then said, "After this, I might disappear from time to time. So, in order not to arouse Megumin and Darkness's suspicion, I'd like Sato-kun to help me cover for me, okay?"

It was inevitable that Suoh Takeru's ability to travel between worlds would be exposed. Leaving aside Megumin and Darkness for the moment, how could he possibly hide it from Kazuma Sato, with whom he spent so much time?

Despite his twisted and eccentric personality, Kazuma Sato is still quite intelligent and quick-witted.

The only difference was the length of time it took to notice Suoh Takeshi's unusual behavior.

Since it's bound to be exposed anyway, it's better for Suoh Takeshi to tell him proactively, "By the way, I'd like you to keep an eye on Aqua. You know her; she might accidentally tell someone."

"Yeah, that's true. Knowing Aqua's style, she might just blurt it out."

Kazuma Sato nodded. "Okay, I'll keep an eye on Aqua."

"Thank you for your help." Suoh Takeshi smiled with satisfaction.

Another reason he told Sato Kazuma was because his skill could now be activated.

That's right!

Suoh Takeru can now travel between worlds!

His skills have allowed him to perceive the coordinates of other worlds!

Chapter 015 The New World: Demon Slayer

"Aqua, please."

"Leave it to me!"

Then, Aqua cast a buff spell on Suoh Takeru: "[Blessing! Attribute Boost] [Blessing! Luck Boost] [Blessing! Artistic Boost!]"

What are the benefits of "Art Enhancement"?

When Kazuma Sato heard Aqua release an artistic blessing to Takeshi Suoh, he said that Aqua must have something wrong with her head.

But Aqua looked at Sato Kazuma with disdain and said matter-of-factly, "Idiot Kazuma, Takeshi is going to another world, of course I have to give him all the blessing magic I can!"

That makes so much sense; Kazuma Sato couldn't refute it.

"Seriously, why is that?! Why do you only show your true goddess-like side when you're with Suoh-senpai?! But when you're with me, you're like a silly goddess!"

Kazuma Sato shouted in dissatisfaction again.

"Hmph!" Aqua simply snorted coldly, without answering his question.

"Okay, listen to me."

Suoh Takeshi clapped his hands and said to the two, "Next, follow the tasks I gave you before, focusing on Aqua, and complete the [Purify the Graveyard] task. After that, you can take on other tasks."

Suoh Takeshi made many arrangements for the team, "Remember, never accept missions that are beyond your capabilities!"

"Understood!" X2

Sato Kazuma was self-aware enough to accept the mission; he wasn't worried.

He was a little scared because Aqua was too audacious.

"Well then, I'm off!"

Have a safe trip! Take care! x2

Suoh Takeshi closed his eyes and connected with the anchor points in his mind.

Suddenly, a pulling sensation enveloped him, and the next second, he abruptly disappeared from Aqua and Kazuma Sato's sight.

"Gone?! Gone?!" Kazuma Sato exclaimed, speechless.
