Arc 1 - Chapter 8

A week later*

After the Demon King's General, the Dullahan, incident was resolved somewhat peacefully.

I took this chance to increase my training with Chariot Requiem in Fencing and sniping, but mostly the former than the latter. I was also trying to develop my freestyle swordplay by including Control of Weather into it, as I recreate almost all those sword techniques from the anime I have watched in the past, which is possible thanks to Omnifabrication, and gaining fast experience in fighting against Chariot Requiem personally while having the Requiem Stand work on its Fencing skills at the same time.

Honestly, if this were some other Stands, then this training method wouldn't be possible, not to mention if Chariot Requiem was still Silver Chariot would be impossible due to its range stat. But, now as a Requiem Stand, I don't have to worry about its distance limitation.

Other than Fencing, I have Chariot Requiem worked on the speed, power, and precision as well. But, mainly speed and precision, with power coming in later. All thanks to creating the training methods via Omnifabrication make all this possible. Much to my surprise to see how fast the Chariot Requiem is making.

Currently, I'm taking a break from my morning training with Chariot Requiem. Today, I decided to have Chariot Requiem fight monsters with just Fencing alone instead of using the Sniper Trigger to instant kill them from a long distance. To my surprise, the monsters can't detect Chariot Requiem even when it's standing directly in front of them.

This made me think of having Chariot Requiem become an assassin due to people being unable to see Chariot Requiem and its range stat, which allows it to distance me from afar. Therefore, I decided to have Chariot Requiem include a third fighting style. The first is a sniper, the second is a fencer, and the third will be an assassin, where Chariot Requiem can sneak up to an enemy and stab them to death with the rapier.

Of course, I won't rule out some enemies who will be able to see Chariot Requiem, but most people can't, making this something I must work on. However, that is for later, and I will have to reschedule my training plans after this break is over.

"Hey, Daisuke, do you still need my help?" The shitty goddess, I mean Aqua, came up to me with a bright smile, eager to provide her service to earn some money.

As to what Aqua can help me with; well, seeing how Aqua can cast sacred level spells restricted to deities; therefore, I have Aqua continue to cast like Sacred Create Water and have empty Shards absorb all of it, turning the empty Shards into Sacred Water Shards for me to use.

I lost count after making it to a thousand, then just began having Aqua doing this whenever I have free time to stock up.

Of course, I made sure to absorb spells into the Shards since I discovered that I couldn't place spells that belong to certain races like the deities. So, I just put the Copy Spell onto an empty Shard to absorb Aqua's spells while at the same time absorbing the energy in the spells themselves, so I don't have to worry about if I don't have the right type of mana or energy source to activate the Sacred Spell Shards.

As for how much I'm paying Aqua; well, it's 1,000 eris per Shard, which is very little and unfair in Aqua's favor. But, I made sure to point out that I'm buying a massive amount, so in a way, she is getting a fortune out of this whole thing, as she earns through quantity instead of quality.

Plus, since I mainly solo, I keep all the rewards to myself, making it easy for me to earn millions of eris and with a side budget to pay for the rent with Darkness. I wasn't really planning to have Darkness pay everything, which would make me feel a little shameful for letting Darkness take responsibility for paying the bills.

"Nah, I don't feel like it right now. Maybe tomorrow." I wasn't in the mood to craft thousands of empty Shards at the moment, even though I have countless empty Shards in my pockets already, but those are mainly used for an emergency just in case I can't make them in certain worlds I'll visit in the future.

"Come on, please?! I need money! Kazuma won't even take a quest! Even when I said it's fine if it's a bit hard! But, he doesn't want to do any quests!" Aqua cried out her complaints as if complaining to me would help me agree to her requests.

"That's because there are only high difficulty quests left; I don't want to go out of my way to take those jobs, where I know for sure I may end up dying in those quests." Kazuma replied with a facial expression to show how displeased when hearing what Aqua had just said right now, causing Aqua to whine even more.

I look at Darkness to get an answer about what is happening with the shitty goddess who needs money.

"She used up all her money again." Darkness gives me an awkward smile. "I don't mind going on a quest with you, Aqua. But, I alone won't be enough due to my lack of combat power." Darkness glanced at Megumin and Kazuma while saying this.

Looking at how disinterested they were, Aqua cried loudly, "Please, I beg you! I don't want to work anymore! The store owner gets mad if I don't sell all the croquettes! I'll work hard! I'll do my best this time!"

Megumin and Kazuma looked at each other, then Kazuma looks at me, "Are you sure you don't need her help?" Kazuma wasn't that desperate in need of money at this moment.

"Not really." I already have plans today than creating more Sacred Spell Shards. "Anyway, my break is over. I'm heading off to train again. I'll see you tonight, Darkness." I hinted her that we'll have sex today, much to her happiness and with her face turning red, along with some of the others on the table when they figured out what I hinted.

I left Darkness with her party and headed off to the area where there should be the giant toads, and I'm a little surprised these toads didn't move to another location or hide due to the General of the Demon Army nearby.

30 minutes later*

I calmly backed away to create distance as a giant pink toad tried to grab me with its tongue. I summon Chariot Requiem behind the giant toad, unleashing a dozen quick thrusts of its rapier, creating small holes on the giant toad's back. Then, Chariot Requiem follows up with a horizontal slash, slicing the giant toad's back open, spilling out more of the giant toad's blood that has been leaking for a while now—making the giant toad croak one last time before falling onto the ground dead.

Nodding my head, I study the giant dead toad and think about what would happen if this was done to a human or a humanoid being. Then, I resumed my training with Chariot Requiem to develop the assassin style I wanted for the Requiem Stand before switching back to the sniping and fencing styles.

8 hours later*

After good progress in training Chariot Requiem to develop the assassin style, not much development, but I at least made some progress at the very least.

On my way to the adventurer's guild, I found Darkness and her party nearby, with the shitty goddess in a cage, being dragged by a horse. I noticed she seems like she has been through hell or something, where she has lifeless gazes that one has experienced untold horror and only survived through luck.

Walking over to them, I heard interesting things, and it looks like what Aqua experienced has her deciding that inside the cage is now her holy realm while the world outside of it is scary so that she won't be coming out of it for a while.

"Yo!" I call out for Darkness' party, causing Darkness to jump with joy as she launches herself at me, which I calmly dodge to the right. After all, I rather not get hurt by Darkness' silly actions, and she'll be fine, with how much a tank she is. "So what happens to her?" I ask about Aqua in the cage and wonder if I could do the same, but more to her in the future as payback.

"Hehehe." Kazuma let out a nervous chuckle before telling me about their quest, where they needed to purify a lake for over 7 hours, where Aqua was mainly in the cage and pushed into a lake, so she could purify the lake as she needed to touch the water with her hand and continuously cast Purification Magic for hours without much rest. The worst part was that there were these monsters that were just like the alligators on Earth attacking her for hours while she was purifying the lake at the same time. The reason why Aqua is fine was due to the cage the guild loan to them to use.

"Heh." I snorted with amusement, knowing this gave me lots of ideas to torture Aqua without causing her much physical harm, but her mental state would be badly hurt.

"Goddess-sama! It's you, goddess-sama! How could this happen to you?!" A man suddenly shouted, rushed to the cage and grabbed the bars, then was easily bent by the guy who offered a hand to Aqua. While at the same time ignoring everyone else, where we're shocked by this.

Even I did not expect this.

"Hey, move away and don't act too familiar with my companion. Who are you anyway? If she knew you, why is Aqua not reacting at all?" Darkness stops the man before he can grab Aqua's hand. Acting as a proud Crusader, being a shield that protects her comrades.

I'm a little surprised she can act this way, but then again, I don't know everything about Darkness, even if that's her real name, but I'll leave it alone for now. Now, to watch this interesting show.

The man glanced at Darkness, sighed, and shook his head like he didn't want to create trouble, but he had no choice.

This just pissed off Darkness, who didn't normally show other emotions openly. Other than her showing how perverted she is when aroused for a short time whenever she sees something that causes pain and hopes it happens to her.

As the tension rose, Kazuma went over to Aqua, who still refused to leave the cage despite the situation, and began to have a whispering conversation. This did the trick, as Aqua was no longer lifeless.

"Right! I'm a goddess! What problems do you want this goddess to settle with? You guys are really helpless without me!" Aqua said to everyone as she came out of the cage. Then, Aqua tilted her head at the man. "Who are you?"

I snorted at this, and I was right; Aqua is a shitty goddess if she can't remember those she sent into this world.

"Why would you say this, goddess-sama?! It's me, Mitsurugi Kyouya! I received the Magic Sword: Gram from you!" Kyouya shouted in shock, causing Kazuma and me to share a look before looking back at Kyouya.

Look like Kazuma and I found another Japanese who arrived into this world before us, making him our senior.

Mitsurugi is a brown-haired man who seemed to be the cool type with a strong sense of justice, too much justice in my opinion, and wearing an expensive-looking armor with a bright blue sheen. On his waist was a sword in a black scabbard.

Behind him was a good-looking female with a long spear, making this female a warrior type, and another female in leather armor, equipped with a dagger on her waist.

Mitsurugi seemed to be around Kazuma and my age, not to mention he is one of those characters that look like the main character of a manga.

"Ah! Right! Sorry, I totally forgot about you. I sent many people here, so it can't be helped if I forgot!" Aqua let out an awkward laugh, causing Kazuma to twitch, for reminding him about how he was told how he wasn't some main character at all.

This just caused Mitsurugi to feel a bit awkward, but he still smiled at Aqua. "It has been a while, Aqua-sama. As your chosen hero, I've been working hard every day. My job is Sword Master, and I'm already at level 37! Oh, right, what is Aqua-sama doing here? Or rather, why were you locked in a cage?" Mitsurugi glances at Kazuma when saying the last part.

"Level 37? Is that big?" I whisper to Darkness, who hasn't let her eyes off Mitsurugi, but replied in the same whisper tone.

"In this town, it kind of is, but not really outside this town." Darkness replied, causing me to wonder if this Mitsurugi was really working that hard every day like he said, because it didn't take me that long to reach level 41 as an Arch-Wizard, and it's only been a month since I came to this world.

But, this Mitsurugi only reached level 37, and he was in this world longer than me. Talk about a letdown. Then again, I have many Magical Items and Chariot Requiem as my advantage.

I watch Kazuma explain to Mitsurugi what happened to the shitty goddess and how he was transported into this world. Too bad it looks like Mitsurugi isn't someone who uses his brain too much.

"Preposterous, this is too illogical! What were you thinking, bringing goddess-sama into this dangerous world?! And you locked her in a cage and threw her in the lake for this quest?!" Mitsurugi grabbed Kazuma by the collar in righteous fury.

"Was the quest that dangerous?" I whisper to Darkness and Megumin as we watch this.

"Not really." Darkness replied right away without thinking about it much.

"Eh, I wasn't the one in the cage, so who knows." Megumin replied.

Watching Aqua quickly restrain Mitsurugi in a hurry and speaking in a tone of happiness, "Come now, stop this! This is nothing. I'm living every day happily and not angry about being brought into this world! Honest! And I can go back after defeating the Demon King! Today's quest was a bit scary, but it was resolved smoothly without hurting anyone. Plus, the reward is 300,000 eris! And everyone said they would let me take all of it! Not to mention, there Daisuke, he pays me 1,000 eris for each spell he needs from me and usually goes up to 1,000,000 eris on average per day! Rarely it would go above! So, really I'm happy."

Mitsurugi looked at Aqua with pitiful eyes after hearing what she said.

I raise an eyebrow at the part, where Aqua gets to keep all the reward money from this quest. While wondering since when I asked Aqua to pay her 1,000,000 eris per day? At most, I have only asked for her service for three days this week alone.

"Aqua-sama... I don't know how this man talked you into this, but you're being treated too illogically. After such a sacrifice, you only earned 300,000...? Not to mention this Daisuke person, who is this guy to only pay you 1,000 eris for each of your precious sacred spells? You are a goddess! For a goddess to be treated this way..." Mitsurugi shook his head in grief, "By the way, where do you stay at night?"

Aqua was frightened and answered timidly, "With everyone in the stables."

Not a second later, Mitsurugi grabbed Kazuma's collar again, but with more force, causing Kazuma to flinch at the pain.

Darkness grabbed Mitsurugi's hand at this moment, "Hey, watch yourself. You've been unreasonable all this time, and this is the first time you've met Kazuma, so there should be a limit on how rude you can be." She glares at Mitsurugi with rage.

On the side, I can see Megumin holding a staff and seemed to be chanting the Explosive Magic, which Kazuma noticed as well and quickly stopped her before causing massive damage in the area.

Mitsurugi let go of Kazuma's hand and excitedly observed Darkness and Megumin.

"A Crusader and an Arch-Wizard? And they look rather good too. It seems that you had great luck finding companions, but that doesn't make sense. Don't you feel ashamed of letting Aqua-sama and these two excellent members sleep in the stables? You mentioned your job was the weakest Adventurer, right?" Mitsurugi said to Kazuma, who had a small grin, then pointed at me.

"Darkness doesn't live with us; she lives with her boyfriend over there. Also, he a fellow Japanese transported in this world like us." Kazuma wanted to see if this Mitsurugi was willing to get on the bad side of his senpai. He knew right away that his senpai is stronger than Mitsurugi as he only has one Magical Weapon while his senpai has countless dangerous Magical Items, which he made himself.

Mitsurugi looks at me, then frowns and looks like he is looking down at me. Something I do not like. Then, look at Aqua, Darkness, and Megumin with a sympathetic smile, "It must have been hard on you all so far. Please join me from now on. Of course, I won't let you all sleep in the stables and will buy everyone the full set of premium equipment. The balance of the team is great. Me as a Sword Master, my Warrior comrade, and you as a Crusader; along with my Thief comrade, this Arch-Wizard and Aqua-sama. What a perfect combination; it's a match made in heaven."

Kazuna twitches at this but keeps quiet. While watching Aqua, Darkness, and Megumin started talking among themselves. Before glancing at me and flinching, then quickly turn his gaze away.

"It feels wrong. The self-righteous way he talks made me cringe, and his narcissistic tendencies frightened me. I rather stick with Kazuma, really." Aqua whispered to her fellow female comrades. Not noticing how she was being eavesdropped on by Kazuma and Daisuke, the latter used his Fox Mask to increase his sense of hearing.

"What should we do? I feel physically repulsed by this man for some reason. I prefer active people over passive ones, but somehow that guy makes me want to beat him up. Furthermore, I'm in a serious relationship with Daisuke, who I finally found my dream man, and I don't think I can find myself being with someone else other than him. Honestly, the thought of this guy wanting me to leave Daisuke, sickens me." Darkness said to Aqua and Megumin with a frown on her face, then glanced at Mitsurugui with a disgusted look.

"Can I cast my magic? Can I throw an Explosion Spell into the face of that elite who's talking down on us without ever experiencing a day of hardship? I mean, there Daisuke, who looks like he hasn't as well, but he willing to hang out with us and doesn't even look down on us; in fact, he even helped out in his own way." Megumin said to the other two, with Aqua and Darkness nodding their heads, agreeing to what Megumin said near the end.

I watched Aqua tug at Kazuma's sleeve and said, "Hey, Kazuma, let's hurry to the guild, okay? I might've been the one who gave him the powerful sword, but I think it would be better not to get too close with such people."

Darkness quickly walks over and drags me, "Come on, Daisuke. We shouldn't be near in the presence of someone like that guy."

"Well, my companions don't seem keen on joining your party. We still need to report the completion of the quest, so we'll take our leave." Kazuma looks at Mitsurugi with a smug smile, knowing he won this battle between them. After saying that, Kazuma led the horse, still dragging the cage, and prepared to leave.

However, instead of moving to the guild like we intended to; Mitsurugi moves over to block our path.

"Please move out of the way." Kazuma said in an annoyed tone to Mitsurugi, who clearly the type of person who doesn't listen to others at all, even if they smack it against his face.

"Pardon me, but Aqua-sama is the one who bestowed this sword to me and seeing my benefactor who granted me power fall to such a state, I can't simply ignore it. You can't save the world; the one to defeat the Demon King will be me. It would be better for Aqua-sama to follow me." Mitsurugi sneers at Kazuma, not even looking in my direction. "Also, you said you chose Aqua-sama as an item to be brought along to this world with you, right?"

Kazuma let out a tired sigh, knowing what will happen next, "...Yes." Even though he came to like Aqua as a friend and comrade, it doesn't mean he doesn't regret not picking something else than Aqua.

"If that's the case, then how about making a bet? You chose Aqua-sama as the 'thing' to be brought along with you, right? If I win, you must give Aqua-sama to me; if you win, I can promise you one thing, anything." Mitsurugi said to Kazuma, not noticing the rage on Aqua, Darkness, and Megumin's faces, with Aqua being treated as a thing is offended from hearing this.

"Okay, I accept! Senpai! I call upon your help to deal with this foe before us!" Kazuma would fight without any warning but rather takes an approach that gives him a better success in winning this bet. Furthermore, Mitsurugi never mentions who has to fight who.

I reach into my pocket, and then with the flick of my wrist, a Spell Shard smashed into Mitsurugi, where the spell inside this Shard is Everte Statum, a Harry Potter's spell. It would cause the opponent to fly back several feet and a short sharp pain depending on the strength of the spell, but it does not cause any lasting damage. But, instead of using a Wand to cast it and pointing at the target. I just need to throw the Spell Shard and hit the target, and then the Everte Statum will activate.

So, in this case, Mitsurugi was sent flying back several feet, where he let out a sharp scream of pain, causing nearby people to wince at the sound. Before fainting for not being so used to such pain.

"Done." I said dryly, then gave Kazuma a stare that promised he would pay for the two favors he owed, with the first one using me as a distraction a few minutes ago and my help for this bet without asking if I wanted to help him or not in the first place. Still, the guy just annoyed me with the whole self-righteous and a hypocrite. These people I hate the most. Saying things about others, but they do the same and act like it wasn't wrong if they did it. Hypocrite. So, I would have attacked either way and just needed the opening to do so.

"I'll be taking this!" Kazuma quickly grabs the Magic Sword: Gram and looks at it in awe.

"Scumbag! Scumbag! Scumbag!"

"How dirty! You're the worst, scumbag! Can't you fight honorably?!"

Mitsurugi's two female companions lectured me.

"Hey, no matter what, I've won the bet; this guy said he would promise me anything if he lost, right? Furthermore, he never said he had to fight with me specifically. So, I'll be taking this sword." Kazuma explained in my defense, even though he involved me for no reason.

After hearing what Kazuma said, one of the followers became agitated, "What?! What absurd thing are you saying?! Only Kyouya can use that Magic Sword! That sword chooses its owner, and it chooses Kyouya as its master! The blessing of the sword won't work for you!"

"Is that true?" Kazuma asks Aqua with a hint of hope that it wasn't, "I can't use the spoils of war? I thought I had finally gotten a strong piece of equipment." Kazuma really likes to have the Magic Sword: Gram as his main weapon, even if it doesn't suit his current set of skills.

"It's true. Regrettably, the Magic Sword: Gram is the exclusive weapon of that unpleasant guy. It bestows one with arm strength beyond the human limits when equipped, and the sword is a sharp weapon that can cut through steel like a vegetable. But, in Kazuma's hands, this would be just a normal sword." Aqua explained, also destroying Kazuma's hope of gaining better equipment for him to use finally.

"Dang it. Well, I still got it and shall take it with me anyway." Kazuma didn't really care that much if it was just an ordinary sword in his hands, "I'll be on my way then. Tell that guy when he wakes up that he was the one who wanted the duel, so no complaints. Let's go to the guild for the reward, Aqua."

After Kazuma finished talking, we turned to leave, but Mitsurugi's female companions raised their weapons at us.

"Y-You hold it right there!"

"Give Kyouya's sword back! We won't acknowledge your win! In the first place, you weren't the one that fought with Kyouya!"

And so, I throw two Spell Shards at those two, the same one I used on Mitsurugi before, sending both of them off the ground several feet before landing harshly, where they let out a scream of pain before fainting like Mitsurugi.

"Dang, no mercy at all." Kazuma mumbles before flinching under his senpai's glare, knowing that he will lose lots of money one way or another for involving him in this whole mess.

An hour later*

"W-Why?!" Aqua's loud voice could be heard throughout the entire building.

"There she goes at it again." I mumble to myself as I take a bite of my food.

"Didn't I tell you, I didn't damage the cage I borrowed from you! It was that Mitsurugi guy who bent the bars! Why do I have to pay for it?!" Aqua cried out to the staff member, who told her that she was the one that had to compensate for the broken cage.

Glancing up, to see Aqua finished talking with the staff member before coming over to us and sitting down on the chair, then slouching in her seat.

"The reward this time, after deducting the compensation for the broken cage, was only 100,000 eris. The Staff said that the cage was made from a special process and material, so it cost 200,000 eris..." Aqua said in a dejected tone, causing some of us to feel pity for Aqua.

"Wow, that sounds kind of overpriced. If you guys had asked, I could have made a better but cheaper cage for you guys to use." I said to Darkness and her party members.

"You were gone by the time we picked the quest." Kazuma answered right away before anyone could.

"Oh yeah. I forgot about that." I didn't feel guilty about this nor find myself caring that much and just wanted to give my input, because the things I make are way better than what most people in this world can make themselves.

"The next time I meet that guy, I'll definitely give him a God Blow! And get him to cough up the compensation for the cage!" Aqua said through gritted her teeth while tightly holding the menu she grabbed from the table.

As if fate heard Aqua's words.

"So that's where you are! I had a hard time finding you, Satou Kazuma!"

"Great, he here." Kazuma grumbles to himself, where everyone can tell he wasn't happy to see Mitsurugi again.

Mitsurugi showed up with his two female underlings at the guild's entrance.

"Hey, Kazuma, you ever told him your full name?" I asked Kazuma, who mumbled a no, that he hadn't, which made me think about how he learned it then.

Mitsurugi rushed to our table and slammed both hands down on the table, drawing people's attention over here.

"Satou Kazuma! I asked a female Thief about you, and she told me everything immediately. She said you like to strip women of their panties! Other than that, your interest is to cover girls in slime! Lots of people are talking about you, devilish Kazuma!" Mitsurugi shouted all he learned about Kazuma, making more attention draw over here, but this time, most females are glaring at Kazuma, who is sweating a lot.

"Hold on! Who's the one spreading this?! Tell me properly." Kazuma frowned at Mitsurugi, trying his best to ignore the glaring of the female adventurers.

Before Mitsurugi could say anything further, Aqua stood up from her seat and glared at Mitsurugi.

"Aqua-sama, I swear to you, after I get my sword back from this man, I will defeat the Demon King. So please join me and form a party-GAH!" Mitsurugi tries to persuade the goddess to join his party but ends up being punched by Aqua, sending him flying.

I whistle at what is happening before my eyes, wondering if I can block this God Blow that seems to be a regular punch filled with divine power or mana been infused with her divine power to turn it into sacred mana. Something on that line.

Mitsurugi's two female companions rushed to the fallen Mitsurugi, who showed a baffled face, not understanding why Aqua hit him.

Aqua took large steps towards, grabbing Mitsurugi by the collar and shouting with rage, "Compensate me for the cage you destroyed! It's all your fault that I had to pay for that cage! Because that cage was made through a special process and material. It cost me 300,000, okay?! 300,000! Do you hear me?! Pay up!"

Mitsurugi, who hasn't even stood up after being sent flying by Aqua's punch, dumbly forked out the cash.

After getting the money from Mitsurugi, the satisfied Aqua returned to us, then picked up the menu again to decide what to eat—not caring what she had done just a moment ago.

"Is that even the exact amount of money?" I point this out because I didn't see Mitsurugi bother to count and just handle a bag of money for Aqua to take.

Hearing this, Aqua pauses for a moment, then quickly checks if the amount of money she just got was even over 100,000, let alone the 300,000 eris. It may take a while to count all the money inside the bag.

Mitsurugi composed himself, watching Aqua counting the money, then walked over to us and said to Kazuma resentfully, "Even though another person defeated me, it was still my loss. Although it is shameless and selfish of me to say this after promising to do anything you wish... I beg of you! May you return the sword to me? That sword wouldn't be of much use to you; it's just sharper than normal swords if you wield it. That's the most you can get out of the sword." Mitsurugi begs Kazuma before pausing to think about what else to say, "How about this? If you want a sword, I can buy the best one in any shop and give it to you. So, please, can you return it to me?"

Instead of Kazuma answering, it was Aqua, "Using me as a prize without my permission, and asking for your sword back by offering to buy a good one in exchange?! There's no way this deal would work! Not to mention, that I'm a goddess! A goddess who is worth more than some worthless sword you can just purchase anywhere! To use me as a betting chip, what the hell are you thinking?! I don't want to ever see your face again, leave! Scram for me!" Aqua held the menu in one hand while waving the other, gesturing for Mitsurugi to leave as she said it out loud, which made Mitsurugi turn pale by her words.

"Please! Please wait, Aqua-sama! I'm not looking down on your value!" Mitsurugi tried to explain himself before pausing as Megumin tugged his sleeve to get his attention, "What is it, little girl?"

After getting Mitsurugi's attention, Megumin pointed at Kazuma, "Just a heads up, the sword is no longer with this guy." To prove her point, she even pointed at Kazuma's waist.

"S-Satou Kazuma!" Mitsurugi cried in horror after noticing this, "Where is the sword?! You, where did you take my sword to?!" He was breaking out in cold sweats as he pressed Kazuma for an answer.

"I sold it." Kazuma smirked at Mitsurugi, causing the guy to burst into tears upon hearing what Kazuma just said.

"Damn you!" Mitsurugi rushes out of the guild, with his two female companions following right behind, not before bad-mouthing Kazuma a few times.

"AH! He only gave me 50,000 eris!" Aqua shouted with absolute rage after counting all the money in the bag.
