I, Asuna, don't want to travel around the world

After defeating the white wolf pack, Axel finally returned to the state of a novice village.

There were no other monsters beyond the novice level around, and the place seemed quiet and peaceful.

Because of the explosion magic, the guild has identified the murderer who destroyed the wall of Axel.

Before, because Aqua used up all her magic power to heal Asuna, Asuna paid part of the money for them.

As for the remaining amount, they only need to go out diligently to hunt giant frogs every day, and they can easily pay it off in no time.

However, because of the incident with the city wall, Team Kazuma's debt has skyrocketed again!

As one of the people who restored the city wall, Kazuma and Aqua received a lot of salary from the engineering team.

And now...

Poor Huihui had to bear a huge sum of money for this, which almost suffocated Kazuma.

I heard that he had thought about committing suicide more than once and wanted to convert to the embrace of Buddha.

It’s a pity that he was rescued by Aqua every time he attempted suicide.

Having experienced death many times, Kazuma finally gave up the idea of ​​suicide.

There was no other way. Every time he died, he felt so painful. As a result, his soul would be resurrected by Aqua before it could go far away, and then dragged back, making it impossible for him to die.

Since I can't die, I have to face it.

The Frog Hunting Team is online again!

Because there were no powerful monsters for Asuna and the others to make quick money, Youyou accompanied Huihui to hunt giant frogs.

However, before going to hunt the giant frog, she would accompany Huihui to an abandoned castle not far outside the city of Axel to release a burst of explosive magic!

A shot of explosive magic every day has become a part of Huihui's life.

If she wasn't allowed to have a go, she would feel uncomfortable all over and she might not be able to resist and release explosion magic in the city at any time.

When Huihui first discovered the abandoned castle, she was so happy.

In the morning, he asked Youyou to accompany him to release a rocket, and then asked Youyou to carry him on his back to meet up with Kazuma and go hunting giant frogs together.

Because she had exhausted her magic power after releasing the explosion magic and was unable to move, Huihui could only leisurely watch Kazuma and Youyou hunting giant frogs, while she herself lay leisurely on the grass to rest.

Although she would be swallowed by the giant frog from time to time and covered with mucus, Huihui enjoyed this leisurely life very much.

Even Kazuma couldn't help but praise her, "With Huihui as bait, the number of our daily hunts has greatly increased!"

From this we can see how many times Huihui was swallowed by the giant frog during the day.

The reason why Youyou works so hard to kill monsters and level up seems to be that he wants to accumulate points and learn advanced magic.

After all, Huihui's explosion magic was too unfair, and his current intermediate magic could not compare with it at all.

This filled her with a sense of urgency, and she worked desperately to level up in order to prevent her friends from surpassing her too far.

As for Aqua...

I heard that she solved the water pollution problem in Axel not long ago, and on her way back, she happened to meet one of her guests... ahem, a brave man.

After eating and drinking with the brave man, he inexplicably discovered a follower of the Axis religion.

Well, that is, the believers who believe in her, Aqua, the goddess of water!

Afterwards, the two of them happily chatted and came to the Axis Church, which looked like a haunted house.

After learning that the church had been abandoned due to lack of funds, Aqua immediately started clamoring to cause trouble for the Church of Eris.

There was no other way. The Eris Church was developing so well that it had snatched away all their clients. If they didn't go looking for trouble with her, who else could they go to?

As a result, the two were recognized as soon as they approached the church of Eris.

In the end, they were unceremoniously kicked out, with words like "you are not welcome here" and "freaks from the Axis Cult are not allowed to enter".

Aqua was so angry that she almost died in the divine realm, and went to Eris to seek an explanation.

Because the conflict between the Axis Cult and the Eris Cult was already known to everyone, the city guards did not stop them and allowed them to fight.

Since he hadn't expected Aqua to help him defeat monsters from the beginning, Kazuma didn't stop her when he saw her having so much fun with her followers.

"As long as she doesn't cause us any trouble, she can do whatever she wants!"

These were Kazuma’s original words.

Soon after, the neighboring city heard that Aqua had purified the lake very easily, so they immediately asked the people from the guild to come and ask her to help purify their lake, and they paid her a lot of money for this.

Unfortunately, this reward was withheld by the guild on the spot and used to supplement the expenses of repairing the city walls and pastures.

After that, Aqua became a temporary member of the guild, running between different rivers and lakes all day long, with no time for leisure and fun, so she cried and shouted for Kazuma.

He looked just like a little child, which made people laugh and cry.

Helplessly, the guild had to send her back.

However, thanks to her, the ranch's losses have been fully compensated.

And after that, Aqua instantly became obedient.

He could no longer attend Axis Church, nor did the water purification business, and spent all day following Kazuma Huihui to defeat giant frogs.

However, her role is actually the same as Huihui's, both lying there as bait.

Yunyun was responsible for dealing with the giant frog that swallowed Huihui, while Kazuma was responsible for dealing with the giant frog that swallowed Aqua. Everything seemed so orderly (?)

As for Chris and Darkness?

One night, two followers of the Church of Eris received an oracle from the goddess Eris, telling them to collect the artifacts lost in the human world?

After they rested at home for a few days, they hurriedly set off, leaving Asuna alone in the empty room, feeling very lonely.

Seeing that her teammates were all busy with their own things, Asuna didn't want to continue to be a lazy person at home.

He walked into the forests and mountains alone, holding a sword, and carried out brutal attacks on the monsters there.

A few days later, Asuna, who had accumulated enough skill points, walked out contentedly.

When passing by an abandoned castle, she curiously released the explosive magic she had just learned at it.

Perhaps because she didn't invest any skill points in it, Asuna's explosion magic wasn't as powerful and large-scale as Huihui's.

But fortunately, her magic power is sufficient. Asuna estimated that with her current magic reserve, she can release about four burst magics a day.

Although I am not as good as Huihui in quality, I am better in quantity.

Then, Asuna, who was in a playful mood, released two more explosion magics at the castle, and then continued on her way with satisfaction.

The reason why she didn't fire all four shots was that she didn't want to experience the feeling of running out of magic power.

However, what she didn't know was that the castle, which she thought was deserted, was already in an uproar because of these three explosion magics.

Chapter 40: Beldia comes with his head

There is a hill in the northern suburbs of the city, some distance away from Axel.

On the hill, there is an abandoned castle.

It is said that this abandoned castle was once owned by a very famous nobleman.

Unfortunately, this great nobleman later fell into decline, and his entire family fled the kingdom overnight, leaving this ancient city abandoned here and becoming a ruined city.

If it were normal times, there would be many monsters roaming around the abandoned city.

However, in recent times, the weak monsters around the abandoned city have almost disappeared without a trace. Even the powerful monsters have left here and occupied the territories of many weak monsters, which has affected the ecology around Axel.

Asuna made a lot of quick money in a short period of time.

The culprit who caused all these events was now trembling with anger in the castle.

On the top floor of the castle, in a place that looked like an audience hall, a dark shadow sitting on the throne exuded an extremely violent aura.

"Fourth time..."

There was a sound of gnashing teeth coming from the shadows.

"What on earth does that crimson demon with a problem in his head want to do?!"

"Do you think this place is a magic testing ground?!"

"Day by day..."

"Day by day..."

"Come to my place early in the morning every day to cast an explosion magic!"

"After he fired it this morning, he came over and fired three more times!"

"It's really too much!"

The dark atmosphere like thick fog began to fluctuate violently.

Under the throne, a pile of broken skeleton soldiers were trembling.

They are Beldia's subordinates and also the elite of the Demon King's army.

However, even they could not maintain the integrity of their bodies when facing the powerful bombardment of explosive magic.

If it was published once a day as before, they could still straighten the skeleton.

And today, it’s four shots!

It directly turned them from skeleton soldiers into piles of bones. The blue fire of the soul flickered in their eye sockets, as if telling something with thoughts.

As one of the leaders of the Demon King's army, a strong man like him would never set foot in a novice town like Axel.

However, not long ago, a divine light suddenly descended from the sky, and Beldia was sent by the Demon King to investigate the matter.

As the Headless Knight, a knight of noble character in his life, he had no interest in bullying the weak, so he did not show up in Axel. At this time, he was hiding in the castle, waiting for action.

Until one day, Huihui discovered this "unmanned" castle and started casting explosive magic every day. Then Beldia's good days came to an end.

Now, he says he has had enough.

He really wanted to take his men to Axel to show off his might and let that stupid red demon see how powerful he is and forbid him to cast explosive magic in the castle again.

And now?

Look at what they have become.

Looking at the bones all over the ground, Beldia couldn't help but throw his head out.

"..."

"..."

The dark magic power surged, pressing the Dullahan's head back onto his neck.

"I have to teach her a lesson..."

Beldia slowly stood up, and a dark knight appeared in front of everyone.

……

……

Early the next morning.

"Emergency broadcast! Emergency broadcast!

Attention all adventurers! Attention all adventurers!

Please get armed and ready immediately, and gather at the main gate of the town in combat mode!"

Luna's familiar voice suddenly sounded, spreading throughout the town.

After hearing the broadcast, Youyou, who had not yet set out to accompany Huihui to cast explosion magic, looked at Asuna with a puzzled look on her face.

"What's going on?"

Asuna's perception instantly enveloped the entire Axel, and not far outside the city, she discovered the reason why Luna was so anxious.

"Well, it seems someone is causing trouble."

Asuna said vaguely.

Because, she didn't sense murderous intent from Beldia, but instead felt a strong sense of resentment and anger?

It looks like he's here to seek revenge.
