Bab 14: Why does Cabbage taste good!

I took a bite of the fried cabbages sold here.

"Why does a mere cabbage taste so good. I don't get it, I don't get it."

The cabbage hunt quest ended and the entire town started serving dishes made from cabbages. It was great profit, so I joined the cabbage hunt quest in the end, but I still regretted it a little. I didn't come to this different world to battle cabbages.

"You are skilled, Lighttress! As expected of a crusader! The cabbages couldn't break through your iron wall defense no matter what they did."

"No, I didn't do much, I am just really tough. I am clumsy and slow, so I can't really hit my target, my only strong point was shielding others… Meguma has impressive offense. You took out the horde of monsters that was chasing the cabbages right into town with just one explosion attack. All the other adventurers were shocked."

"Kuku, no one could stand up to the power of my explosive magic… But Kanike was the most active one. He picked me up after I exhausted my mana and carried me back."

"… Yeah, when I was surrounded by cabbages and monsters, Kanike showed up and captured all the cabbages attacking me, thank you for rescuing me."

"Indeed, erasing your presence with 'Hide', grasping the movement of the cabbage with 'Sense Enemy' and surprising them with 'Steal' from behind. That was just like an outstanding assassin."

Terly finally finished her cabbages and casually placed her plate on the table. The useless daughter of a goddess who chased the cabbages without a plan and didn't perform too well wiped her mouth gracefully and said:

"Kanike… With my authority, I grant you the title 'Elegant Cabbage Thief'."

"Shut up! I will slap you if you call me that! Ah… enough, why did things turn out this way!"

I hugged my head and rest it on the table.

This is bad.

"Well then… I am Lighttress, a crusader. Theoretically, my weapon is a 2- handed sword, but don't count on it too much. I am clumsy with my hands and tend to miss. But I am good at being a tank, so please take care of me."

That's right, we got another companion officially. Terly smiled leisurely, she looked pleased.

"… Hmmp, our party is becoming great. I am an arch priest, Meguma is an arch wizard. And we have the defensive specialist vanguard, crusader Lighttress. 3 out of 4 members having top tier jobs are rare, Kanike! Do you know how lucky you are? You have to be grateful okay?"

A wizard that could only use one spell a day, a vanguard that couldn't hit anyone and a priest that was dumb, had bad luck and was totally useless!

During the cabbage hunt quest, Lighttress, Terly and Meguma hit it off, so they wanted Lighttress to join the team too. If she was normal, I would have no reason to reject. And she was also a beauty. But Lighttress couldn't hit her target at all. Although she was a looker.

She put all her skill points into defensive skills, so normal skills learned by

vanguards such as '2-hand sword' or skills that raised her proficiency with weapons were ignored. She had an appearance of a cool beauty, so it was a pity. And this crusader loved to charge into the midst of a group of monsters for some reasons.

As a crusader who defends the weak, having a stronger calling than others to protect others was a good thing…

"Ugh… Ah, the feeling of being ravaged by cabbage and monsters is unbearable… I am the only orthodox vanguard in this party, so don't hold back, use me as a bait or shield. If it is necessary, you can even cut me off as a sacrifice… Hmmm! Just, just imagining that made me tremble in excitement…!"

Lighttress' face was blushing as she shivered slightly.

… That's how this fellow was. A super masochist. She looked like a cool beauty, but she was just a pervert in my eyes.

"Well then, Kanike. I will probably… No, I will definitely be a bother to you, so don't hold back and lecture me viciously. Please take care of me from now on."

A arch priest that could use all sorts of healing spells, and a arch wizard that

could use the strongest spell. And a crusader with iron wall like defense. It seemed to be a perfect formation, but I feel things would be tough on me in the future.
