I don't want to be a heroic spirit

"Ah! It's all your fault, it's all your fault, it's all your fault!"

Nero didn't know why it turned out like this.

It was no different from the previous mornings. Nero brought Alice and Youyou to the Adventurer's Association to see if there were any suitable commissions to accept.

However, before accepting the commission, a few people planned to have breakfast here first.

During the meal, something seemed to happen at the counter. Nero looked over there curiously and saw that the counter lady seemed to be explaining something with an awkward but polite smile, while Aqua was pestering her in front of her, and Kazuma next to her had a disgusted expression on his face, as if saying "I don't know this idiot well".

Then Nero wasn't so curious anymore.

Anyway, it must be like that. What stupid thing did Aqua, this guy with a negative IQ, do again? First, he was arrogant and thought he could handle everything and do something big, but ended up with a bloody head and lost both his wife and his troops, causing a lot of trouble. Not only did he fail to achieve his goal, but he also lost himself. This development can be regarded as Aqua's forte.

Nero didn't intend to care about this matter. She didn't want to get into trouble. Nero had a hunch that if she was entangled by Aqua at this time, that guy would definitely be more annoying than the octopus that stuck to Tom's head in an episode of "Tom and Jerry".

This is what Nero planned, but if only fate could be so obedient.

When Nero heard the footsteps getting closer, he felt something was wrong. As soon as he turned around, Aqua, with tears in her eyes, grabbed his collar and pulled him up and shook him wildly.

By the way, Aqua is a little over 1.65 meters tall, while Nero is exactly 1.5 meters tall, so Aqua can easily lift Nero up.

By the way, Huihui's information shows that her height is about 1.5 meters. In other words, you can imagine that Huihui and Nero are almost the same height when standing together.

So, if you find it hard to imagine the scene where Aqua grabs Nero's collar and lifts him up, you can replace Nero with Megumin and imagine it again. Doesn't it seem much more reasonable?

While holding Nero's collar and swinging her around, she was yelling crazy things like "It's all your fault, it's all your fault, it's all your fault"... Nero really wanted to ask "Have you finally changed your job from a mentally retarded girl to a repeater?"

"Give me enough, you idiot with a brain no bigger than a jujube kernel!"

“Gahh ...

The members of Kazuma's team and Nero's team who witnessed this scene were about to step forward to rescue Nero from the inexplicably crazy Aqua, but Nero, who could no longer bear it, reacted first and grabbed Aqua's face directly with a Nine Yin Bone Claw.

A faint "crunching" sound could be heard from Aqua's skull, but it was quickly drowned out by Aqua's screams.

"So? What happened?"

Nero frowned and looked at the members of Kazuma's team, namely Kazuma, Darkness, and Megumin.

Because of Nero's Nine Yin White Bone Claw, Aqua had loosened her grip, allowing Nero's feet to stand on the ground again, but Nero did not let go of her hand. Aqua tried to pull the hand that was clasped on her head away but to no avail. Nero even gradually increased his strength.

“It’s broken! This goddess’ head is about to break, ahh ...

The screams became more and more miserable, and those who didn't know would think that he was suffering some kind of inhuman torture.

Everyone around swallowed subconsciously and looked at Nero with awe in their eyes.

Just like in the original novel, Megumin and Darkness join Kazuma and Aqua's team.

The protagonist group is completely complete!

Then, not long ago, something big happened to Axel.

——The great migration of cabbages.

The vegetables in this world are all living things, whether it is saury grown in the fields or watermelons grown in the water, they are all alive.

The so-called cabbage migration actually means that the cabbages in this world are unwilling to be eaten, so when the flavor begins to concentrate and they are ready to be picked, they run through towns and grasslands, cross continents and cross oceans, and finally rot in uninhabited borders without being eaten by any living creatures.

To prevent these cabbages from going to waste, adventurers would catch as many as possible during this period and eat them when they were at their most delicious.

One cabbage is worth ten thousand eris, or in other words, wealth that falls from the sky... provided you can catch it.

The most important thing is that although these living cabbages will attack adventurers, their attack power is not high. They have neither sharp claws nor can they use magic. They can only use all their strength to hit people. You can imagine it as being hit by a lot of basketballs.

Not only is it more profitable, but it is also safer than taking risks outside. This explains why the entire Adventurer's Guild was so motivated after learning about the Cabbage Migration.

Nero felt like he was participating in a limited-time FGO event.

And then...Aqua's sudden madness is also somewhat related to this limited-time event.

"This idiot thought he could make a lot of money from this event, so he spent money lavishly these past few days and even owed quite a bit of money, but..."

"But?"

Kazuma let out a long tone and pointed to the side. Nero followed Kazuma's finger and looked over, then saw the vegetable dumplings piled up like a small mountain.

"That idiot Aqua caught almost all lettuce..."

Although lettuce and cabbage look very similar, in this world, the value of lettuce is not even one-tenth of that of cabbage.

and so……

"So many vegetables, and in the end, I only got 50,000 eris..."

That's about five cabbages...

During this cabbage migration, Nero, Yoyo, and Alice were all very active.

Youyou was fine, but Nero and Alice were experiencing this kind of thing for the first time, and the novelty made them work extra hard.

Even Youyou, who earned the least, earned hundreds of thousands of Eris by catching cabbages, and Nero earned the most, more than two million.

In addition to the large quantity, the cabbages Nero caught were of very good quality, so he sold them for a good price.

Maybe Nero's luck value took effect, after all, Nero's luck value is A.

After listening to Kazuma's explanation, Nero understood why Aqua was so sad and angry.

but……

"What does this have to do with me?"

Whether the people caught were lettuce or they owed money, it has nothing to do with Nero, right?

It was Aqua's bad luck that all they caught were lettuces, and they owed a huge amount of money... That was purely Aqua's own fault.

Why did Aqua grab her collar and yell, "It's all your fault, it's all your fault, it's all your fault"?

"Tell me the truth, was this woman bitten by a mad dog and contracted rabies? That's why she bites everyone she sees?"

"I think that's possible too... I suspect Aqua had this disease long before I met her."

Kazuma did not refute Nero's guess, and even agreed with it.

Chapter 279 If you do that to Aqua, I will laugh at you for a month

Covering her head that was about to split open, Aqua hid beside Huihui.

Even though Kazuma and Nero were saying bad things about her, she didn't dare to say a word in rebuttal.

From this point of view, she still has some learning ability.

"Because she's in debt these days, and didn't make much money from the cabbage hunt, Aqua is planning to take on more commissions to make more money."

Kazuma continued to explain.

"But, you've seen the commissions on the commission wall now."

Nero had a rough idea of ​​what was going on.

Starting from the past few days, the monsters around have become fewer and fewer, which has led to fewer commissions to defeat monsters.

Then, I heard from somewhere... that someone who looked like a leader of the Demon King's army had moved into a small castle near this town, and under his influence, the weak monsters nearby had gone into hiding.

The commission wall, which is usually covered with commissions, now only has a few left.

Moreover, they are all extremely difficult commissions.

The adventurers in this town are basically lazy people who only work when they are short of money. They made a lot of money catching cabbages a few days ago. In addition, all the commissions now are high-risk, so they are basically giving up.

To say that there is one that stands out from the crowd, an exception among exceptions, yes...

"Is that Yu...?"

At this time, the only one still actively taking on subjugation commissions was Nero's team.

They are not short of money, and they take on commissions just to experience life. Moreover, they are strong enough. The powerful monsters that ordinary people think they cannot defeat are nothing to them.

Nero turned his head and glanced at Aqua, scaring her so much that she trembled all over.

"You, you don't think that if I don't complete those commissions, you can earn the commission fees, right?"

"Alas--!!"

Kazuma looked like he had learned something new, because she had never seen Aqua so scared of someone.

Because Aqua is notoriously short-sighted.

Everyone in Kazuma's team is a talent. There is the great magician Megumin, who is proficient in the most powerful offensive magic of mankind; Aqua, the former goddess and current high priestess, who has unparalleled auxiliary magic and recovery magic and can even resurrect others; and Darkness, the strongest tank crusader, who has a physique comparable to a dragon and has learned a lot of resistance skills; and finally, Captain Kazuma, who is very good at being clever and has a luck value that is sky-high.

With this lineup, even if they encounter a cadre of the Demon King's army, they are capable of forcing the opponent to come in vertically and go out horizontally. However, under normal circumstances, they cannot even defeat a giant frog, and there is a danger of the whole group being wiped out.

Although Nero had handled the commissions she had accepted before very easily, she had reason to suspect that if it was Kazuma's team that had accepted the commission, Kazuma would have died miserably again and returned to the city.

Because he believed in their talent for complicating and messing up simple things, Nero believed that they would be wiped out.

Because Nero believed in Kazuma's luck, he believed that they would all return intact but in disgrace.

"Use your melon seed-sized brain! Give me some basic judgment of gains and losses!"

“Aa ...

Really, she obviously likes beautiful girls so much, and she likes them even more after obtaining Nero's spiritual base.

Speaking of appearance alone, Aqua is a genuinely beautiful girl, but Nero just doesn't have a thing for her...

No wonder netizens say, "If you are in heat for Aqua, I will laugh at you for a month. If you are in heat for the Monkey King, I will laugh at you for a lifetime."

…………

The location is on a mountain near Axel.

There is basically no vegetation on this mountain. It is just a dark brown rock mountain, rugged and hard.

A black bear as big as a hill roared loudly and slapped Alice, but Alice dodged it because she was prepared.

At the same time, Alice turned her wrist, and the holy sword that could cut through iron like mud easily cut off the black bear's paw, causing the black bear to howl in pain.

"Youyou! Now!"

"Light of saber!"

The sword of light, which is said to be able to cut through anything as long as there is enough magic power, instantly cut off the black bear's head.

The black bear's body, as big as a hill, fell down with a loud bang. Alice and Youyou could both feel the obvious vibration of the ground.

After taking a short breath, Alice and Youyou looked at each other, then smiled and high-fived each other.

Both of them: "Yeah! We won!"

Not far away, the greatsword Primal Fire was stuck in the hard rock ground. Nero placed both hands on the hilt, his figure as straight as a pine or bamboo, and his eyes were full of satisfaction as he looked at Alice and Youyou.

On the way back to the city, several people were still talking about the huge black bear.

"I didn't expect there would be such a powerful monster near Axel..."

"Because this is a novice town, right? If such a powerful monster appeared in the royal capital, the Knights and the Guild would immediately gather their forces to defeat it."

Nero really felt that Axel was a place full of hidden talents, including goddesses, demons, and cadres of the Demon King's army. Not long ago, she even heard that there were traces of mythical beasts nearby, and it seemed that there was more than one?

While she was sitting in the guild, she heard adventurers drinking nearby talk about "Xuanwu" and "Baihu"...

The monster they just defeated was called "Black Fang" by the guild, and it was also a very powerful monster with a very high defeat gold.

Because a Demon King's army cadre appeared near the town, all the weak monsters nearby hid, and only this powerful monster continued to move.

But it’s better this way, because monsters that are too weak won’t be enough for them to train their skills.

"Youyou, how much experience did you get from defeating monsters this time?"

"Yeah! Because it was the final blow, I gained a lot of experience points! Now I can learn another advanced spell."

The Red Demons are basically composed of high-level professional magicians, and they also run schools where every child of the Red Demons will study.

Most of the Crimson Demon children would graduate from school after learning an advanced magic, but Youyou was a little different.

Once, in order to rescue Huihui's sister who was surrounded by monsters, Youyou learned intermediate magic even though her skill points were not enough to learn advanced magic.

Then, Youyou graduated from school because she learned magic and became a capable magician.

All the children of the Crimson Demon Clan graduated after learning advanced magic, but she was the only one who graduated after learning intermediate magic, which made her seem so different.

However, things are different now. After joining Nero's team, Youyou has leveled up a lot by defeating high-level monsters. A few days ago, she learned her first advanced magic - Light of Saber.

And now, it seems that I have saved enough skill points to learn advanced magic.
