Time flew without a pause and a month had passed away like a passing dream, so much happened in such small time. The trio had gotten used to each other's presence and gathered enough funds to get a cheap house; the price was lower as it seems to be cursed but Naruto chose it is as he didn't see any danger.

The deal was quite a lucky thing but Naruto believed there was something else going on in the back as he could some time feel a gaze on him.

"Hey Lana, have you seen my underwear? It was supposed to be drying outside." Naruto called out from inside as he leaned outside the window

"No, it might have just been whisked by the wind or something. Or a poor adventurer decided to steal it as he had no change." Lana replied as she went through the motions of her arts while wearing weighted clothing along with spiked gauntlets and boots

"Seriously, I think this the second time I lost something." Naruto muttered in an annoyed tone as he remembered his shirt which he had been gifted by Athena and walked inside to his room

'I feel the pain of not having enough money and I had come to believe it wasn't important but losing my powers definitely reminded me why money was important.' Naruto thought in a regretful tone

He entered his room which was real tidy and compared to his old one it was small and empty, it had simple bed, a desk and a chair. It had wardrobe for his clothes and a bookshelf, he was given books by the woman from the capital.

Naruto had grown to like reading and writing as he matured, and battles along with everything else felt empty. So he was quite happy to be given such precious items.

Naruto picked up one of the books on law; these were not available in the library as they were too valuable for public usage.

'Thank you Sena for such a wonderful gift, I don't how I would relax after battle and training.' Naruto thought as he started reading, he was already considering writing his own books especially because of financial purposes


"Mistress, don't you think that is a shameful act. Why don't you just meet Naruto, face to face?" Sena, the woman he had met a month ago when he had chased the mysterious assassin, muttered in a respectful tone

"Darling would not be happy with my presence, I am afraid Darling would reject me. Has Darling said what kind of woman he prefers?"

"Someone strong, gentle, kind and intelligent but then he did hit on me, is what I think as its hard to grasp if he is serious or not." Sena replied in cautious tone, her mistress was cruel and dangerous being

'A hero that should be fighting the demons, what kind of fate was it that she ended up falling in love.'

"There is no way Darling likes you so take it as a joke and don't even consider it or I my hand might slip." She replied in a cold tone as she held Sena from behind and her dagger touching, Sena's slim neck

"Sorry, I won't do that again."

"Good, now did you have something else to share?"

"There has been a call from the capital; they want mistress to take care of one of the demons generals that seems to be gathering an army." Sena provided as she remembered the letter, she really didn't understand why she had been assigned such a job when this was not under jurisdiction

"I will take care of it so you can leave now and leave the contents on the table." The woman replied as she sighed and leaned into her chair, she didn't wish to leave the town but duty called and if she ignored it then he would hate her so she didn't consider skipping like last time

'When I am back, I will definitely go meet darling and get him to praise me.' She smiled happily as she hugged a shirt; yes it was Naruto's shirt


Goblin Slayer, a man whose past was filled with misery and his path was one of vengeance and destruction. A man defined by his goal and nothing else could be seen in those eyes, every waking moment was filled with desire to kill and kill some more.

But rage and insanity had not dulled the mind; he was careful and meticulous in his tasks. He missed nothing and learned so he was special and he was calm, never lashing out and thinking pointless thoughts.

But slowly it seems he was getting back his humanity and becoming socialable, he was man who cared and did what most people looked down upon.

'An interesting man, when he gets a bit better I might have a talk with him.' Naruto thought as he looked at the man leaving with his party and he entered the guild with his own

"Luna got something for me." Naruto asked as he walked to the counter, he knew most of the people here now and were somewhat close but he counted Luna as a friend, though he did think of them as children

"Good morning Naruto, and yes I have something but I don't if you will like it." Luna said as her face crunched up in disgust at the request

"What is it?"

"Giant roaches in the sewers, they have become too big and the numbers seem to be increasing. Please could you handle that as the others are busy and some of the bastards are just waiting for the reward to increase?" Luna muttered in a soft tone and cursed under her breath

'No good money grubbers'

"I will see if I can do the task, provide me with the information and do you think my squad is enough." Naruto questioned, she had become close with his squad and knew their strengths to a point so she should be able to give an opinion close to reality

"I think your group is strong enough but you might as well take some support. You see those newbie's; they might be able to provide enough help that you might need." Luna said as she pointed at two youngsters resting at the table in a bored manner, showing that life must have been hard once they became adventurers

"Hmm"

"I accept and will you be joining for dinner today or not." Naruto asked

"Thanks for the offer but I will be spending time with my girl." Luna replied with a smile as she winked at Ariel

"Then have a good time and you are welcome at anytime." Naruto said as he walked away with the papers to the kids, the girls would accept his decision so he need to ask and they were used to gore by now

"Hello kids, I hope I am not disturbing your rest." Naruto muttered in a gentle tone and the duo looked at him

The boy looked at him with stars in his eyes; he seemed to be one of those youngsters that had watched the fights.

"No, no, there is no problem. Please sit down, how may I be of service?" The boy of 16 with golden hair and strong build asked in an excited tone as he was meeting a celebrity at the guild, someone who had beaten the strongest members alone and together with their teams

"No need to be so respectful, you can sit. What are your names?" Naruto smiled and sat down as he forced the kid to sit back as he didn't seem to know what to do

"My name is Ash and I am swordsman and this is Misty, she is a priestess." Ash replied

"Nice names, I would love to talk more but now I am here to ask you assistance. Would you like to accompany us on roach extermination?" Naruto questioned as he looked at them, he knew most people couldn't overcome the natural disgust they felt for these creatures

"We will do it; we have some experience and hope we don't drag you down." Ash accepted with a determined tone. He had already learned that patience was the key, and you can only build up strength slowly just like the Goblin Slayer

"Thanks, I will definitely compensate you well for the assistance and if you ever need help then you can call on me." Naruto said as he got up and they followed suit as they walked out of the guild and the girls joined up


A.N Hope you enjoyed and comment

This story is not going to be written till the end. I will try my best to write till the end of the village raid arc.

I will stop writing by Nov 14 or so as i will be too busy and i don't want distractions so the fics i have written will be up for adoption. Most likely i won't return back to continue so it is better say it.

Sena from Konosuba

Ash and Misty from the side story, the bug exterminators
