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

The red-haired waiter greeted them warmly, gave the three their opinions, and then drifted away.

"Let's go, let's become adventurers."

They arrived at the counter without stopping.

The saleswoman was a very gentle and beautiful woman with long, wavy hair and a broad chest; she was an outstanding and mature woman.

Kazuma Sato's cheeks flushed slightly; the enormous chest was quite a shock to this shut-in.

Left with no other choice, Suoh Takeshi stepped forward and said, "Hello, beautiful lady, the three of us would like to register as adventurers."

"Want to become an adventurer? I understand. There's a processing fee for logging in as an adventurer, is that alright?"

Although she was a little shy when complimented on her beauty, her professional demeanor helped the counter staff calm down.

"Handling fees..."

Suoh Takeshi suddenly remembered that all three of them were penniless; they had neither money nor anything to exchange for it.

"Please wait a moment, and allow us to come back later."

"Ok."

The three left the counter and sat at an empty table in the lobby to begin their discussion.

"What should we do? We have no money." Zhou Fangwu presented this huge problem that stood in their way.

"Hey, Aqua, even as a goddess, you don't have any money?"

"Huh?! How could that be! I was suddenly pulled down, how could that be!"

"Tsk, useless, good-for-nothing goddess."

"Whose fault is it? Whose fault is it all?! You shut-in Kazuma!"

Aqua and Kazuma Sato got into another argument, and they're probably going to start fighting soon.

"Etc., etc!"

Suoh Takeshi quickly pulled the two apart, "Stop fooling around, I have a plan!"

"any solution?"

"any solution?"

The two asked in unison.

"loan."

"A loan?" X2

"That's right, it's borrowing money. We're penniless, so we have no choice but to borrow money if we want to become adventurers."

Suoh Takeshi tapped the table, making a 'thump-thump' sound. "Two choices: borrow money from the guild or borrow money from the adventurers. Of course, I don't think the guild will lend us any. So, we'll have to borrow from the adventurers."

“That’s a good idea.” Kazuma Sato agreed with Takeshi Suoh’s suggestion.

However, Aqua doesn't think so.

"Hmph, I am Aqua, the goddess of water! What's a little money? As long as people offer me sacrifices, that's enough, isn't it?"

After saying this, Aqua left the table to find her followers.

Then, just like in the original story, she was given as a gift—by her descendants, followers of the goddess Eris.

When Aqua returned, crying, she was given a perfunctory comfort by the two of them.

And so, with the 3 Eris they received as charity, the three of them successfully became adventurers.

Chapter 004 Sword Master

"Hello, we want to become adventurers."

"Okay, 3 Eris, received."

He returned to the counter and handed 3 Eris to the clerk, who accepted it and then returned 3 paper documents to him.

"Please have the three of you complete this document."

She's such a competent sales clerk. Even after that embarrassing incident, she didn't utter a single sarcastic remark and simply completed her job flawlessly.

"Height, weight, age, and other characteristics are all very common items."

He is 180 cm tall and weighs 75 kg. He has black hair and black eyes with a gaze as sharp as a sword.

After carefully filling out the forms, the three returned the documents.

"Okay, I received it. Now please listen to the detailed instructions..."

The saleswoman explained the precautions adventurers should take to the three of them, and then took out some kind of card for them to touch.

"Please touch this card to see your various ability parameters and choose a suitable profession."

In the world of Konosuba, adventurer classes are determined from the very beginning. It's so great that you can choose your class right away!

Kazuma Sato was an ordinary adventurer, while Aqua shone brightly as a rare high priestess, and Takeshi Suoh...

He gently touched the card; a faint light flashed by and then disappeared.

"Let me see."

Suoh held the warlord card in his hand. "Hmm, not bad!"

The data displayed on the card is all very good. Although I don't know what the standard data is, his data is twice as high as that of Kazuma Sato!

It seems to have great potential.

"So high!"

Sure enough, the saleswoman was astonished when she saw it, "Except for luck, which is average, all the other attributes are at the highest level!"

That makes sense; his stats are more than twice as high as those of an ordinary boy like Kazuma Sato, and he must far surpass those of others.

Wuhu, take off!

Even with external assistance, you won't be too weak in the end, but who would refuse a high starting point?

A high starting point also means a high peak!

"Let me see, you can choose from Knight of the Cross, Sword Master, High Priest, or Archmage!" the saleswoman suggested. "I recommend you choose the Sword Master, which has the strongest attack power, because your strength and stamina are particularly outstanding!"

"A swordsmanship master? Okay, that's the one!"

Unlike Kazuma Sato, who can only choose the adventurer class, Takeshi Suoh can freely choose any class.

Of course, choosing a sword master is also a good choice.

His swordsmanship is no weaker than any other profession. No matter what world he is in, there will be those who receive the title of "Sword Saint". At that time, he can rely on his own analysis and imitation, using this cheat-level ability to imitate their skills.

If Heaven had not given birth to me, Zhou Fangwu, the way of the sword would have remained in eternal darkness!

The appearance of another top-tier job drew cheers from the crowd, and Aqua was also astonished, "How come a mere otaku has such high physical stats?"

"Exactly, is senpai really an otaku?" Sato Kazuma's lips trembled with envy.

It was at this moment that he realized that people's physical constitutions cannot be generalized.

Some guys who call themselves "otaku" actually have incredibly enviable muscles in their seemingly thin bodies.

"Didn't I say that although I'm a homebody, I exercise regularly to keep my body healthy, so my physical fitness is far beyond that of ordinary people?"

"Is this what they call a 'normie' (socially active otaku)?"

Kazuma Sato scoffed, "They're the kind of guys who claim to be otaku who like anime, but are actually very outgoing and popular. In the end, it's just NEETs like me who get hurt."

He seemed very down.

But there's no time to comfort him now; they need to make plans for food and lodging for the night!

Living in a stable costs money, you know!

"Let's not delay, let's accept the mission now and earn the bounty!"

After recovering from his disappointment, Kazuma Sato suggested that everyone go on a mission. He had always longed for this kind of life, and now his wish was finally about to come true.

“No way!” Suoh Takeshi refused outright.

"What?"

"Because we didn't have the equipment."

The three of them are now penniless, without even enough money to buy the cheapest short sword. Are they supposed to fight monsters with their bare hands?

"Sigh, if only the ability I needed back then was the ability to create fantasies."

Suoh Takeshi lay slumped over the table, his face full of regret.

"Speaking of which, I haven't asked Suoh-senpai what ability you got from Aqua yet?" Sato Kazuma suddenly realized that Suoh Takeshi was different from him, a good-for-nothing, and was a true transmigrator with cheat codes.

At the same time, he was also wondering if Suoh Takeshi's abilities could help them overcome the current difficulties.

"My cheat is called Analysis and Imitation. As the name suggests, it analyzes everything and then imitates and uses it."

"Wow! Whose skill is this?! It's so powerful!"

As a homebody, Kazuma Sato immediately understood the power of this ability. The more people he met, the more abilities he learned, and in the end, he would become stronger and stronger, with no limits!

"But unfortunately, it doesn't help us at all right now."

Takeshi Suoh shrugged, indicating his helplessness, "I haven't analyzed or imitated any abilities yet."

"That's true."

Kazuma Sato stroked his chin, thought for a moment, and then asked, "Senpai Suoh, can you analyze Aqua's skills and imitate them?"

Kazuma Sato's idea was straightforward: if Takeshi Suoh could mimic Aqua's abilities, their team would have two Aquas. Moreover, Takeshi Suoh, with his outstanding abilities in every aspect, would be a PS version of Aqua, far stronger than Aqua herself!

"no!"

Suoh Takeshi denied his conjecture, saying, "I cannot imitate Aqua's skills."

"What?"

"Sato-kun, have you ever heard of dilemmas? A dilemma is a type of reasoning consisting of two hypothetical judgments and two disjunctive judgments as premises. It is the main form of hypothetical-disjunctive reasoning."
