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

Kazuma Sato was deeply moved.

Then he joined in shouting loudly.

"That's right, that's right, as long as you try harder next time!"

Aqua, mimicking the gestures, raised Megumin and Darkness's hands, beaming with pride, and shouted "Victory!"

"Anything can be accomplished if we put our minds to it. We are capable of anything! Even if we don't do well, it's not our fault; it's the world's fault if we don't do well!"

Good heavens, this is a case of human-to-human transmission.

They even brought out the doctrines of Axis.

However, this time, Sato Kazuma unusually refrained from mocking her, instead keeping his mouth shut and remaining silent.

It's definitely not because Aqua purified the Headless Horseman in the end, and he didn't help at all.

Darkness and Megumin also shouted a couple of times, but they were too shy and stopped after a while.

Then came the triumphant return.

Surrounded by all the adventurers, the team members strode back to the starting village with their chests puffed out, took a stroll around the village, and made quite a splash.

Suoh Takeshi felt that this was too ostentatious, but rather than letting it spread slowly until everyone knew about it, he preferred to make a splash and let everyone know about them now.

With this kind of fame, the team members will probably pay more attention to their image in public.

Back at the Adventurers' Guild, after a lively and lavish victory celebration, everyone returned to their mansion in the suburbs.

When I woke up again, it was already the next day.

Suoh Takeshi gets up and begins his daily morning exercise routine.

Every day is just like this, so mundane.

This makes one wonder if yesterday's defeat of the Headless Horseman was merely their fantasy.

Three days later, the Adventurers' Guild sent him a message asking him to come over.

"A reward of 3 million Eris?!"

Aqua stared at the check in her hand and screamed in surprise.

Huihui turned into a little money-grubber again, muttering, "I'm rich, I'm rich, I'm rich..."

Kazuma Sato also cheered.

Even Suoh Takeshi couldn't remain calm. Although he tried to keep a straight face, his rapid breathing and pounding chest revealed just how unsettled he was.

That's 3 billion!

Darkness was relatively normal; although she was surprised, she was much better than the other four.

The team's assets have expanded once again, achieving a triple leap and completing three small goals! (Eris version)

Now that we have money, let's upgrade our equipment again.

However, Suoh Takeshi and the others went to see Wiz first.

【Magic Item Shop】

"Is that so, Mr. Beldia, it..."

"Sorry, I ended up attacking your colleague."

“It’s alright, it’s alright. Although Mr. Beldia and I are colleagues, our relationship isn’t actually that good.”

Wiz was saddened upon hearing the news of the Headless Horseman's defeat, clearly not as indifferent as she claimed.

However, when Wiz saw Suoh Takeshi's actions, he was puzzled and asked, "Um... what are you doing?"

"As you can see, I'm stopping a certain money-grubbing goddess from 'accidentally' killing off her friends because of her inner greed."

At this moment, Suoh Takeshi held down the flailing Aqua tightly, preventing her from moving around.

"Wu, let me go! That's 3 million Eris, 3 million Eris!"

When Aqua learned that the Demon King's army officer had a bounty of 3 million Eris, she immediately changed her attitude and became determined to purify Wiz.

As expected of you, Aqua!

This money-grubbing attitude is even worse than that of Kazuma Sato.

However, Wiz eventually begged for mercy, explaining that he had no bounty in the kingdom, which dissuaded Aqua from attacking Wiz.

Chapter 061 Equipment Upgrade 2.0

After lingering and chatting for a while, Suoh Takeshi seemed to remember something and said:

"By the way, Wiz, give me a few more magic crystals, this time the high-quality kind."

Although Megumin's Explosion Magic did not harm the Headless Rider, it does not mean that the Explosion Magic was useless.

High-quality magic crystals are still necessary, not only for Huihui, but also for him.

"Okay, thank you for your patronage."

Wiz took five magic crystals from the shelf, his face showing eagerness.

Suoh Takeshi could tell that it was the expression of someone who had just completed the first transaction of the month.

how to say…

It's a bit tragic, isn't it? Working tirelessly but receiving no reward.

But he just couldn't bring himself to say, "Wiz, the reason you're not making money isn't because you're not working hard enough, it's because your methods are wrong," for fear of hurting Wiz's feelings.

Having so much spare money, he did consider helping Wiz, since Wiz had helped him during his most difficult time.

But when Suoh Takeshi thought about how poor Wiz's management skills were, and how he could squander any amount of money, he gave up the idea.

If you want to make a large investment, let's wait until Barnier arrives.

Someone has to watch over her.

Moreover, using someone else's colleague's bounty to help them always carries a hint of showing off and threatening.

This batch is called "Shrimp and Pork Heart".

However, before leaving, Suoh Takeshi did leave her 1 million Eris.

Although Wiz refused and Aqua objected, he still insisted that Wiz accept it.

The excuse was: "I have a lot of spare money, and I can't just sit around and do nothing. Let's just consider it an investment in Wiz's magic item shop."

Only then did Wiz reluctantly nod and accept it.

However, Suoh Takeshi never specified what percentage of the shares he would receive for those 1 million Eris.

Don't get me wrong, he had no intention of deceiving Wiz and then using him as leverage to do anything indescribable.

I simply wanted to help her; I absolutely did not want anything from her!

An upright young man will repay even the smallest kindness with the greatest gratitude!

Not long after, Suoh Takeshi expressed his intention to leave.

The group then came out of Wiz's magic item shop.

"Let's go buy some equipment!"

"Oh!" X4

Suoh Takeshi gave a shout, and everyone cheered. The girls had been itching to get their new gear.

Even Suoh Takeshi was in the same boat. His Nichirin Blade had been chipped by the powerful blows during his previous fight with the Headless Horseman, and he desperately needed a new weapon.

Murakami Yoshitsuki ultimately didn't last a month.

He strode towards the weapons shop.

"Welcome!"

The weapon shop owner was still the same towering man. When he saw Suoh Takeshi and the others, he quickly crawled out from behind the counter.

"Hahaha, aren't these heroes? Welcome to our store!"

No wonder he was so enthusiastic.

It was because of Darkness that his business was booming lately.

What?

you ask why?

Wearing the equipment he forged, he was able to withstand the full force of the headless knight's attack without dying. Wasn't that enough?

That's a huge shield that can save your life when facing a powerful enemy!

What?

You're saying Darkness's strong defense has nothing to do with the shield?

The other adventurers, unaware of Darkness's sky-high defensive capabilities, simply attributed it to the giant shield.

"Young lady, what equipment do you want this time? I'll forge it for you for free, using my best craftsmanship!"

The weapons shop owner thumped his chest loudly, "Don't worry, you only need to pay a little bit for the materials."

Although he is all muscle, he is very quick-witted.

He knew that Darkness had boosted his business and brought him a large number of customers.

Furthermore, because Darkness's [Hero] squad successfully defeated the Headless Horseman, Darkness, as a high-ranking Crusader, has become a role model for other knights.

This is practically a walking advertisement; there's no reason not to invest in it to fulfill his wishes!

He was calculating his own scheme.

"Wu, what do you think?"

Darkness did not agree on the spot, but asked Suoh Takeshi, who was the team leader, to make the decision.

"It's fine, isn't it?"
