I don't want to be a heroic spirit

So, as the descendant of a brave man, Alice not only possesses the inherited holy sword, but can also use the unique magic inherited from her?

This sister is more capable than Nero imagined.

Chapter 268: Clever Aqua

"Good morning, Miss Nero. Are you here to take on commissions today? You're quite active. Axel is truly lucky to have an adventurer like you. Thank you for your contribution to this town today."

"Hmm! Good morning, Miss Luna. I accept your gratitude. It's okay if you rely on me even more. It's my responsibility as the emperor to solve the people's problems. If you have any more troublesome requests, you can leave it to me to solve them!"

"Miss Nero's words are truly reassuring. If other adventurers could be half as active as you... no, a third as active as you are, I might be able to free up more time for things other than work, like blind dates... To be honest, I do have a few troublesome requests today..."

It's cloudy today, but the weather is still a bit hot and humid.

There aren't many people in the Adventurer's Guild because adventurers have a high degree of freedom. There are no annoying leaders and no overtime. It's up to you to decide what kind of tasks you want to take and how many tasks you want to take.

The adventurers in this town generally only take on commissions when they are short of money. They have fun when they make money, and then take on commissions again to earn more money when they have spent all their money.

Moreover, because the adventurer's work is very dangerous and they can lose their lives if they are not careful, the adventurers would rather take on more commissions than those that require them to defeat powerful monsters, even if the commission money for such commissions is very high.

Nero was like an outlier among these people.

Not only does he specialize in accepting commissions to defeat high-level monsters, but he also completes them at an alarming speed.

There were even a few kimchi missions that had been idle for several months or even more than a year without anyone taking them up, but Nero took them up and successfully completed them.

Nero still remembered that when he completed those kimchi commissions, Miss Luna showed the brightest smile she had ever seen.

Well... when it was time to collect the commission money, Miss Luna held on to the purse tightly and refused to give it to her, and her strength was so strong that it was a bit scary.

"Come to think of it, is Miss Nero alone today?" Luna looked around Nero and asked in surprise, "Aren't Miss Iris and Miss Youyou here today?"

"Hmm! They seem to be planning to explore this town... They said they've been doing commissions since arriving and haven't really explored the area yet. They'd be disappointed if they left one day and realized their only memories of this town were subjugation and commissions."

"Yes, even though Axel is a new town, I can confidently say it's on par with any other. I'm sure Miss Iris and Miss Youyou will have unforgettable memories here."

Luna responded to Nero's words with a tone as gentle as the spring breeze, which made people wonder why such a beautiful woman is still single.

After leaving the guild, Nero walked alone on the street leading out of the city.

It was a rare occasion for Nero to walk alone on the street, and he looked at the buildings and stalls along the street.

"Hmm! What a thriving scene! The people are overflowing with life. This is truly Rome!"

Hard-working people, diligent people, happy people, and abundant people.

What built the towering tower called Rome was not the prosperous city or the exquisite buildings, but the people who worked hard for the future.

"Hmm! As expected, even in a different world, Rome is still full of vitality!"

Nero nodded in satisfaction.

"Crack!"

Nero was originally walking leisurely on the street, admiring the "Rome" here. Suddenly, the sound of glass breaking came into her ears, attracting her attention.

Not far away, there was a building that seemed to be a church. The most conspicuous glass window on the second floor was broken. There were several glass fragments on the street just below the window. The sound just now seemed to have come from there.

Angry shouts could be faintly heard from within the building. This was understandable. If this was truly a church, then for the people inside, it would be a sacred and inviolable place blessed by the gods. Now that someone had smashed the windows, it would be a blasphemy against the gods they believed in.

As for the evil person who blasphemed God...it was actually quite easy to find him. After all, there was only one person on that street.

A girl with long aqua blue hair, still holding several stones in her arms that she had not thrown away, seemed to have heard the angry shouts and curses from the people in the building, and was looking around in panic.

Then... this girl met Nero's eyes.

Nero's eyebrows suddenly raised, and a bad premonition suddenly arose in his heart.

What does this mentally retarded goddess want to do?

The next moment, the mentally retarded goddess Aqua came to Nero at lightning speed and put a few stones in Nero's hands with a flattering smile.

"Hey! Please hold on to these things and don't drop them. That's all. Bye!"

After saying these words at super speed and with clear pronunciation, Aqua ran away.

Almost the next moment after Aqua ran away, the door of a building that seemed to be a church was pushed open, and several clergymen with veins bulging with anger ran out from inside.

"Hmm? Frame-up?" Nero glanced at where Aqua had disappeared, then turned back to the clergyman approaching. He was a little speechless and said, "This retarded goddess...why is she so clever only when it comes to causing trouble for others?"

The church whose windows were smashed by Aqua belonged to the Eris Cult.

The people of Eris believe in the goddess of luck, Eris. Eris is also the state religion of this country, and the world is still governed by the goddess Eris.

By the way, Aqua governs Japan, which is why in the Suqing worldview, Japanese people will be sent to this world by Aqua after their death.

In fact, when Nero saw Aqua smashing the glass windows here with stones, he had probably guessed it.

Because although the goddess of luck Eris is the descendant of the goddess of water Aqua, she is much more popular than Aqua. Moreover, in this world, the cult of Eris is much more popular than the cult of Akusis that believes in Aqua. This makes Aqua very jealous, and she will spread Eris's scandals everywhere.

Perhaps influenced by Aqua, the members of the Axis Cult are also very hostile to the Eris Cult.

Darkness was stoned and spat upon by the Axis Cult members because of her belief in Eris. However, as a perverted masochist, Darkness seemed to enjoy the thrill of being spitted upon, so she often stated her identity as a priest of the Cult of Eris in front of the Axis Cult members.

Even the highest leader of the Axis Cult once said that he could have sexual desires regardless of whether the object was male or female, old or young, or even human or monster, but he only hated demons and Eris cultists from the bottom of his heart.

Chapter 269: If you look closely, frogs are actually very cute

Although he was initially mistaken by the Eris Cult as the villain who smashed the window, it was surprisingly easy to clear up this misunderstanding.

"Hmm... I just said, 'These stones were given to me by a girl with long aqua-blue hair who looked like a member of the Axis Cult,' and they believed it immediately..."

Nero still clearly remembered the tired expressions on the faces of the Eris clergy when she said "Axis Cultists".

I guess this isn't the first time... something as absurd as this has happened.

One is the Akusis Cult, the other is the Crimson Demon Clan. Some say that the harm these two bring to the world is greater than that of the Demon King's Army.

A lot of worlds have that, right? It's the kind where they trick children into sleeping, like if they don't sleep, they'll be kidnapped by some scary monster.

There are similar things in this world, and it's not the Demon King's army that plays the role of "terrible monsters".

It's the Axis Cult.

Whether it is on the human side or the demon side, it is usually the Akusis Cult that makes children afraid to cry at night. The reputation of the Akusis Cult in this world is so bad.

Recalling the information of this world, Nero suddenly felt that the surroundings had darkened.

It turned out that while she was thinking, she had already come to the outside of the town, and at this time, a giant frog was blocking her way.

It was just a giant frog, nothing to Nero, just a small monster that couldn't even take down her sword.

Most adventurers in this town can be easily dealt with.

"Get out of my way now. I'm tired of killing your compatriots." Nero waved lazily at the giant frog, signaling it to get out. "I'm here to gain more experience points and commissions, but you haven't given me much of either. So thank you for your mercy. Get out of my way."

There are high-level monsters such as One-Strike Bear and Novice Killer, as well as monsters such as One-Strike Rabbit, Slime, Gray Wolf, etc., which are not individually powerful but are numerous. After killing so many monsters, others might have reached level 20, but she is only level 3 now.

Although the experience points required for leveling up are directly proportional to a person's innate talent, Gao Cheng's behavior made Nero speechless.

Only when defeating the One-Strike Bear could Nero see his experience value move slightly, but killing small monsters like giant frogs would not change the experience value bar even if he killed dozens of them, so Nero was too lazy to kill them.

However, despite her "kindness," the giant frog couldn't understand.

A whip suddenly lashed towards Nero, but Nero dodged it by shrinking the ground.

She has transformed into so many servants, but she is most proficient in using Okita Souji's Shrinking the Earth.

"Hmm! It seems you rejected my kindness."

Tilting his head to avoid the giant frog's tongue, Nero's expression remained calm. "What a shame."

The giant frog doesn't have many ways to attack. It can either use its huge body to attack directly, or use its tongue to catch prey, or simply open its mouth and eat the enemy.

However, the giant frog hates the smell of metal, so it only needs to wear metal armor to avoid being eaten. It is precisely because of this that even some weak adventurers can defeat it.

"Hehehe, you poor, weak, faster, faster."

Nero suddenly became interested in playing and did not rush to deal with the frog. Instead, he used Shukuchi to dodge the opponent's tongue attacks again and again.

However, this interest did not last long, and Nero soon got bored.

"Ah, forget it, let's get rid of you quickly. I'm tired of it. It's really boring..."

Nero also felt that if he continued to tease the frog like this, it would look a bit pitiful, so he decided to end it quickly.

Nero dodged the tongue again and flashed in front of the giant frog, using the somewhat unfamiliar starting stance of Bajiquan.

At the same time, she lowered her voice and spoke slowly in a hoarse voice as if she was imitating someone else.

"My Baji only requires one punch, no two punches—no two punches!"

The next moment, an extremely powerful punch was thrown out without reservation.

It hit the giant frog's white belly hard.

Keeping his stance and punching, Nero concluded by saying something that he thought was very cool.

"Oh my Eva Mo Xin Yi Lu (You are already dead)... Um! I have been wanting to say this line for a long time, but never had the chance."

Then, Nero, who thought the giant frog had been killed by his punch, raised his head and met the giant frog's eyes.

The other party even blinked twice.

Their eyes met, and an awkward atmosphere filled the air.

"...Come to think of it, your stomach seems to be immune to damage from blows?"

The giant frog naturally did not answer Nero, but opened its mouth and prepared to eat Nero.

However, the next moment, red flames rose from Nero's body and ignited the giant frog. Just three seconds later, Nero smelled a pleasant aroma of meat.

"You really thought I was Aqua. Are you disappointed? You thought I'd yell, 'Show me the power of Roma! How dare you stand in my way! You're actually against Roma! The Fist of Roma! It's a blow that unleashes all of Roma's might! You're dead!' And then punch you in the stomach without causing any damage. After our eyes meet, I'd play dumb and say, 'Hey... take a closer look, frogs are actually pretty cute, huh?' Trying to get away with it with cuteness, only to be eaten by you defenselessly in the end? Did you expect this to happen?"

Nero said these words with great pride while kicking the burning corpse of the giant frog with his hands on his hips.

Then he quickly pulled it back because his feet were burned.

The red flames just now weren't magic, but rather [Magic Release: Flame] that Nero had temporarily gained through his cheating skill [Emperor Privilege EX].

Karna had used this skill in front of her before, and the opponent could even fly by converting magic power into flames and spraying them out.

And just now, Nero reproduced this skill.

However, the mana consumption of this skill is also abnormally high...Karna was only able to use this skill freely after Amakusa Shiro Tokisada connected to the Holy Grail.

But she doesn't have the Holy Grail now, and she uses all her own magic.

"Hmm! As the emperor, I can use all the skills in this world... Why can't I have infinite magic power?"

"Don't you think it's unreasonable?"

The roasted frog was right at Nero's feet, but Nero was too lazy to care about it. After being delayed for so long by a mere frog, she now wanted to go out into the forest.

At this moment, a sound seemed to come from not far away.

It sounds like...

"Help me—!"

Chapter 270: Sato Kazuma is the only one with better luck

My name is Sato Kazuma.

Is a glorious homebody.

With an ordinary identity, ordinary talents, and an ordinary life, I thought my life would continue to be ordinary.

However, on that day... my destiny was changed.

I bravely stepped forward to rescue a girl from a car accident (actually it was just a tractor and there wouldn’t be any car accident), and died as a result (scared to death by the tractor). A goddess suddenly appeared in front of me and was moved by my bravery (she almost laughed to death because she had never seen such a shameful way of dying), so she sent me to another world and came down to earth to protect me (Aqua: Didn’t you bring me down here, you shameless bastard!), hoping that I could become a hero, defeat the Demon King, and save the world (Aqua: Because if you don’t defeat the Demon King, I can’t go back to heaven! Take responsibility for it!).

But now, I am facing an unprecedented crisis...

If no miracle happens, I might die here. This is too unscientific. Am I not a future hero? Isn't the person next to me a goddess?

We haven't even left the Novice Village yet, but we've already encountered such a tough opponent?

Could it be... that the Demon King's army has discovered the threat I pose and wants to destroy me before I grow into a true hero?

That gigantic body, those eyes that make one's blood boil, those strong muscles, that giant mouth that can devour everything, that skin that can perfectly withstand impact...

This guy in front of me must be the devil's most capable subordinate, right?
