Chapter 2431: Traveler Plus One
In order to monopolize the bounty, the goddess proposed to purify the lake herself, so the other teammates watched coldly, and no matter how she shouted in the cage, they did not help. It was as if they were not teammates at all.
Sato Kazuma thought that the goddess was unkind first, and then he was unjust. It was the goddess herself who proposed to monopolize it. Since she thought that the bounty of 500,000 should be enjoyed by her alone, it was no wonder that they did not save her. Besides, the cage was not broken, and the goddess could still hold on.
"How can you scare the beautiful lady?" In the distance, a carriage team stopped on the avenue in accordance with the order, and then a girl in men's clothes leaped across half of the sky and landed by the river.
The sword was unsheathed, and the cold sword light flashed. The crocodiles biting around the iron cage were instantly killed and turned into pieces of meat. Then this person turned around and left, doing good deeds without leaving a name.
"So strong." Huihui and Darkness both knew the strength of defeating so many monsters with one sword, and the other party killed the monsters but did not take away the spoils. Such a noble style made them admire.
Huihui shed tears of poverty. They had made a profit from the crocodile meat.
Sato Kazuma hated this kind of pretentious behavior. He couldn't help but look at it. The convoy on the avenue was very long. He knew at a glance that the people coming were definitely powerful. Sato and such people were not compatible.
"This is the sign of the accompanying public relations department." Darkness recognized the sign hanging on the carriage and was surprised: "It seems that they are preparing to go to Axel. It seems that Axel will also have their branches in the future."
"Public relations department? Isn't that a gigolo shop?" Sato Kazuma said.
"No, because the members of the accompanying public relations department are all girls. Their goal is to help female adventurers become independent and protect the interests of female adventurers. You should have discovered in the Adventurer's Guild that the ratio of male to female adventurers is more male than female, so many regulations of the Adventurer's Guild are biased towards male adventurers. The accompanying public relations department was established to reverse this." The Crusader knew these things very well.
"Are you saying that the person who just attacked was a woman?" Sato Kazuma was shocked. The gap was too big. Why were the women around him not so reliable?
After the lake water was purified, the goddess was angry and refused to leave the cage: "Just let me die in there. You don't care anyway." The goddess was grudgeful for the three teammates' behavior of watching the fire from the other side.
"Then you stay in there." The goddess was also unreasonable. It was obviously she who said that she would monopolize the bounty first. Why is she blaming her teammates for not helping now?
Take the meat and cage of the crocodile monster and drive the carriage back to the city.
The goddess was still angry all the way and refused to leave the cage.
"Wait." Just when the group was about to return to the Adventurer's Guild and prepare to sell the crocodile meat and recycle the cage at a discount, a young adventurer wearing luxurious plate armor and a magic sword on his waist stopped them.
"Isn't this Goddess Aqua?" This was the first time that someone recognized her without Aqua introducing herself or giving her a business card.
Sato Kazuma was stunned. He had never seen him in the Novice Village before. He knew he must be a high-level adventurer and very powerful from his domineering appearance. He didn't know why he knew Aqua.
Apparently Aqua didn't know him.
"I'm Yuken Hibiki. You, the goddess, sent me to this world. Look, this magic sword is the one you gave me." The young and handsome adventurer introduced himself. It turned out that he was also a time traveler like Sato Kazuma.
"Stupid goddess, do you know him?" Kazuma didn't expect that there were other adventurers besides himself, but it was easy to understand when he thought about it. It must not be the first time that Aqua fooled him so skillfully.
Aqua remembered a little: "You are the hero I sent here before Kazuma."
When Yuken Hibiki saw that the goddess had remembered him, he immediately looked at Sato Kazuma: "How could you lock Lady Aqua in a cage?!"
Obviously, the two time travelers had completely different memories of Aqua. In Yuken Hibiki's memory, the goddess Aqua was dignified and sacred, and was a real fairy who had given him a second life.
In Sato Kazuma's memory, Aqua was just a jerk who laughed at other people's pain and liked to expose other people's scars. But Kazuma didn't know that the goddess was professionally trained and would not laugh unless she couldn't help it. The result of Sato scaring herself to death was really rare and funny.
Yuken's attitude was very unfriendly, and Kazuma felt very bad.
Sato Kazuma looked at each other and felt that the other party was better than him in every way. He thought that the other party relied on the magic sword to make a living. He had such a high starting point to achieve the current results. What was so proud about it? But he was with a stupid goddess who was holding him back. He was the one who started his life in another world from scratch. She had no idea what it was like to sweat in the sun for three meals a day and have to sleep in a stable at night. She also had no idea how painful it was to be in debt of 130,000 before the adventure even started. She had no right to point fingers at him.
"You bastard son, what qualifications do you have to stay here and eat and be lazy? Do you know that I, your father, started from scratch when I came here? At the beginning, I only slept four hours a day, and ate pickles and hard bread. When I was in the most difficult time, I could only sleep under the bridge hole. I worked hard little by little to get the current industry. You, a kid, only know how to stay at home. Do you know that when I was your age, I had already taken out a mortgage!" A father and son suddenly appeared on the street, and the father was scolding his son who was a spendthrift.
"You dead girl, you only know how to play. It's not easy for me to raise you with great effort, and you have to endure your incompetent stupid father. Why don't you learn well? Why can't you understand me? You two are really just dragging your feet. Why is my life so hard?" Another mother and daughter appeared, and the mother was complaining about her misfortune.
Sato Kazuma's inner voice suddenly came out through this pair of strange adults, but in a trance, Sato Kazuma seemed to see his parents. When he was addicted to games, they seemed to have said similar things. At that time, he just felt noisy. At some point, he also learned to complain and blame from his parents' perspective, and liked to talk about the hardships he had experienced. He became the person he least wanted to be.
Sweating under the scorching sun, sleeping in a stable, and starting life in a different world from scratch, isn't it what parents like to do most to talk about these hardships? Kazuma had obviously sneered at them before, but now he realized how his parents felt when they said these words.
"What's wrong with you?" Mitsurugi Hibiki didn't understand what was wrong with him.
"He thought that his suffering was actually nothing, his parents had suffered a long time ago, and it can even be said that many people suffered more than him, so the position that supported his contempt for you collapsed." Duran popped up to explain again.
"He locked Lady Aqua in a cage and did such a thing. What right does he have to despise me?" Mitsurugi Hibiki didn't understand.
"He feels that he is more down-to-earth and more like a mortal. Unlike you, who is a Long Aotian who made his fortune with the magic sword, he believes that if you don't have the magic sword, you can't compare to him. You can't endure hardships like him, and you don't have his patience. In short, you are inferior to him in every way. So he is worse than you who don't have the magic sword, and thinks that if you are at the same starting line, he can look down on you." Duran continued to explain, which confused Yu Jian Xiangye. He had to figure out the reason.
