Chapter 3

[Quest]

"Twins? No, I didn't remember guiding human twins either to heaven or to this world. But I did heard a rumours that one of the God of Death had guided a twins high school students. But we never heard where they go after that," Aqua explained upon being questioned.

"High school...students...3rd year?"

"Eh? Yes! But how did you know? Your aquintances?"

"Yes, you can say like that."

Aqua widened her eyes. It might just her imagination, but...she swore that she just saw Kazuma's eyes had gradually lost their colour...as if...as if...

"Well then, waste time no more, let's do a quest that can earn a lot of money!" As looking through Kazuma's eyes was too scary, Aqua tried to at least cheered herself up by dragging the topic off from the depressing conversation.

"Un...let's do the one that have enough rewards to pay all the debts you left me." Kazuma slowly responded. "And if it is successful, you will have to give all of them to me or you will just waste them off without paying your own debt, or even increase it," Kazuma smiled crookedly, trying to hide his delicate condition but the look he gave Aqua had been misunderstood as she took it as a threat. Aqua was confused as fuck and can't stop trembling from the dark aura coming from the younger boy who was indeed behaving very strange today. He also spoke in a very low volume as if he no longer have energy to live. Kyaaa! Today Kazuma was really scaryyyy!

Despite the heavy rain, and his current sentimental state, Kazuma strengthened his resolve to pay all the debt, before that dumb Goddess messed up, adding more problems onto his shoulder and killing him. He wasn't sure how long his body will last but he's pretty positive that he will meet Eris more often in this quest.

"Kazuma! Kazuma!"

Kazuma turned towards the baby blue haired Goddess upon being called. Did they choose good quest already? Lazily, the boy walked to the counter where his teammates were gathered to see what they have on their hands already.

"Kazuma! How about this quest?! It said that we just need to deliver an item to another town and if we manage to do it, the reward is 1,000000 Eris!" Aqua squealed in excitement upon the discovery. Where can they find such easy task with enormous reward?! However, Kazuma knew that the amount alone was the prove that there's no way it's going to be a simple task for them. First of all,a delivery to another town was already a complicated mission. And what's more, the reward lied from the item itself. What the hell could it be that required it to be delivered in such long distance?

However, Kazuma, more than anyone here knew that he has no other choice but to do this quest as no other simpler quest than this. If they were being cautious the quest will definitely going smooth. In fact, the teleportation service will be provided after they past a few towns so they won't need to take a long time to reach to the destination which supposed to be a week long journey by carriage.

To be honest, Kazuma was really tired, body and soul due to stress today but if he didn't work, the stress will just pilling up. And plus, Megumin and Darkness seemed to be excited to be on journey. Though they were traumatized during their trip to Axis Town, they seemed to be eager to visit this new town.

The carriage provided for the mission was really comfortable, especially when it's raining cats and dogs outside. Kazuma was quite grateful that he can at least rest until they reach the destination...

"KAZUMA!"

...or not.
