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

……

As darkness fell

"What?! That Muzan Kibutsuji is absolutely despicable!"

Aqua looked furious, then said fiercely, "If I were here, I would definitely purify him!"

Aqua is a goddess who is naturally close to humans and deeply despises spirit-like characters such as skeletons, liches, zombies, and the undead.

Sato Kazuma said in a deep voice, "...A demon, is it really such a terrifying existence?"

He was just an ordinary high school student, inexperienced in the ways of the world, unaware of the dark side and complexities of human nature, and he did not have a proper evaluation of Muzan Kibutsuji.

But he knew that he deeply loathed such people!

"Alright, let's stop here."

Suoh Takeshi clapped his hands, interrupting their thoughts, "There are countless other worlds, don't get emotional over such a small thing."

After hearing this, the two took a deep breath to calm their excited emotions.

"By the way, Sato-kun, I've secretly learned a lot of new skills. Do you want to see them for yourself?"

He pulled out his adventurer card and showed Sato Kazuma his countless new skills.

"With so many skills, there's bound to be one that suits you."

Suoh Takeshi vigorously promoted it.

Kazuma Sato stared longingly at the adventurer card in front of him, then gritted his teeth and turned his head away with great difficulty.

"I'm sorry, Suoh-senpai, I can't learn it."

"why?"

"Because I've used up all my skill points."

Kazuma Sato also took out his adventurer card. His level had increased significantly, but he had no skill points left.

"I've already learned all the skill points I have left."

[Basic Magic]

It is the lowest level of introductory magic. Because the benefits are too low, even ordinary mages will not learn this skill.

Most mages will save their skill points for learning new skills and won't waste them on such useless introductory skills.

However, Kazuma Sato is different from the others.

His [Elementary Magic] is highly creative. After being recombined by his imaginative ideas, Elementary Magic produces all sorts of unexpected chemical reactions. Its continuous control and special effects complement each other, and its power is no weaker than [Intermediate Magic]!

You could say he's the type who fights with his brain.

"Sato-kun, your skills are very useful, aren't they?" Suoh Takeshi patted him on the shoulder, comforting and encouraging him.

Although Kazuma Sato could only rely on his "cleverness" to fight enemies from beginning to end due to his talent, his "cleverness" always proved to be surprisingly effective when facing invincible enemies.

"Oh, right, Aqua."

Suoh Takeshi pointed to the [Water Element Affinity (Advanced)] skill on the adventurer card and asked, "Is this skill a blessing you bestowed upon me?"

"Yes, it's my blessing."

Wu is my follower, and isn't it my duty as a goddess to help my followers?

She blinked her big, light blue eyes and said triumphantly, "With this, Wu Ke is essentially the water goddess's representative on earth!"

Just as he expected.

This inquiry was merely an attempt to confirm something.

After seeing how useful the skill was, Kazuma Sato also clamored for Aqua to bless him, but after Aqua said, "You don't believe in me, you're not my follower, so I can't help you," he stopped making a fuss.

He probably would never have wanted to believe in Aqua, no matter what.

'Wait, am I a follower of Aqua?!'

Suoh Takeshi couldn't believe it. 'How is this possible? That's Aqua!'

And so, he fell asleep in deep thought.

Perhaps because he was hugging a large pillow that he hadn't hugged in a long time, he slept exceptionally well that night.

P.S.: Everyone knows who the giant body pillow is, right?

By the way, please add this to your favorites and recommend it!

Chapter 044 Special Training Begins (Please recommend and add to your favorites)

When Suoh woke up again, he felt refreshed and invigorated.

He felt he hadn't slept this well in a long time.

Honestly, I've heard of people being picky about their beds, but I've never heard of people being picky about their 'pillows'.

He gently pushed Aqua away from his arms and got up to stretch his stiff body.

Stepping out of the stable, I greeted the beautiful morning sun and did some gymnastics.

"The Second Set of Primary School Broadcast Gymnastics: The Rising Sun!"

"Section 1: Chest Expansion Exercises!"

"One two three four five six seven eight, two two three four five six seven eight, three two three four five six seven eight..."

After a quick warm-up, he jogged slowly along the path through the starting village, making a large loop before returning.

When they returned to the stables, they found that Kazuma Sato and Aqua had just woken up.

"Good morning, Aqua and Sato."

Good morning, Suo-senpai.

Good morning, Wu, you're up so early.

Aqua mumbled incoherently, then stood up and staggered into Suoh Takeshi's arms.

"Aqua, wake up. We have an important mission today." Suoh Takeru pinched her fair, collagen-rich cheeks, stimulating her with pain to quickly wake her up.

"It hurts," Aqua muttered softly.

After lingering for a while, the three headed to the Adventurers' Guild.

They had arranged to meet Huihui and Darkness there early in the morning.

Adventurers' Guild

"Hey, Darkness, Megumin, over here!"

After waiting for a while, the sharp-eyed Aqua saw the two women enter the guild and called out to them loudly.

"Yosh, everyone's here."

Seeing that the entire team was seated, Suoh Takeshi said, "Well then, let's eat first."

"Huh?"

Huihui paused for a moment, "Eating...is it?"

“Of course, it’s breakfast,” Suoh Takeshi replied, then called the waiter to order.

"I know about breakfast, but why?"

Huihui found it somewhat unbelievable.

She is one of the poorest representatives of the lower-class adventurers, with very little money in her hands.

The cost of accommodation alone was considerable, not to mention food. To save money, she basically ate only one meal a day.

It was precisely because of the lack of nutrition that she appeared very thin and frail, and at a young age she had her own private airport, so much so that she envied Aqua and Darkness every time she saw them with their prominent breasts.

"How can I have the energy to do the mission if I don't eat breakfast? What if I get into danger because I'm too weak?"

Suoh handed her the menu, saying, "Here, order. It's on me."

"Thank you."

Huihui shyly took the menu and ordered a children's meal.

Recently, she's been obsessed with kids' meals.

"Darkness, you have a lot of work to do today, so eat more." Suoh passed the menu down, telling her to order more high-calorie foods.

"Wait a mininute!"

Kazuma Sato stood up and slammed the menu on the table, preventing everyone from ordering.

"What's wrong, Sato-kun?"

“Senior Suoh, you may not know this, but our team has no savings left.”

"Uh... what's going on?"

Takeshi Suoh clearly remembers that he left behind nearly 10 Eris when he left.

If we add the [Purify the Graveyard] quest completed by the two of them, they should have at least 20 Eris. How come they spent it all in less than a week?

"It's all that idiot Aqua's fault, she spent all the money."

"She spent all her savings on a bottle of expensive sparkling wine," said Kazuma Sato, both angry and distressed.

"I see." He nodded to indicate that he understood.

It was Aqua who spent the money.

"I'm...I'm sorry."

Aqua, with tears in her eyes, whispered an apology, "I know I was wrong."

As expected of the goddess of water, she really has a lot of tears.

No wonder she was so quiet and reserved when ordering, hiding in the corner like she was invisible.

It turned out she was afraid of being blamed by Suoh Takeshi.
