章 5: Chapter 4: First Adventure!!
Under the clear blue sky.
"Ahhhhh! Help! Terly, save me~~!"
"Puhehe! This is so funny! Kanike your face is all red, you are tearing up
and working really hard!"
Okay, I will bury this girl before going back. As I make up my mind, I continue to run and scream for help as a giant toad like monster chased me.
This was the open plain outside of town.
We took a mission from the guild in the morning and headed here…
As for the bare minimum weapon needed, I chose a short sword. Terly was acting dumb, saying a goddess wielding weapons were unglamorous and wasn't equipped with anything.
She was watching the toads chasing me leisurely. Don't look down on them just because they were toads.
They were bigger than bulls. It was their mating season, so they were
accumulating nutrition in order to lay eggs. They roam around the human
settlement where food were more plentiful, swallowing goats raised by
farmers in a single gulp.
If they could swallow a goat whole, swallowing me and Terly would be easy too.
In fact, children and farmers often went missing during the mating season of these toads. Even though their appearance were just that of a giant toad. But they were still dangerous monsters, stronger than the small monsters near town that were exterminated.
By the way, their meat was a bit tough, but it was pleasant and refreshing, a rather popular ingredient. Its thick fat was effective against blunt attack. They hate metals, so you won't be hunted if your equipment were full. It was an easy foe for normal adventurers. That's why skillful adventurers like to hunt them. But…
"Terly-! Terly-! Stop laughing and save me–!"
"For a start, add a 'san' when you address me."
"Terly-sama–!"
I will bury this girl all the way, only leaving her head above ground. I will let her know the horror of being targeted by toads. I was on the verge of tears, looking back at the toad hopping behind me.
At this moment, I realized that the toad were heading in a different direction from me.
Before the toad was…
"Can't be helped-! Alright, I will save you, hikiNEET! But you will need to
worship this goddess from tomorrow onwards! You have to join the Terly
sect in town, and pray to me 3 times a day! You can't object if I take any side
dishes from you during meals! And also, ugh?"
Terly who was puffing her chest out and rumbling on about something
disappeared.
I turned my head and saw the toad had stopped moving.
Something white were dangling from the corner of the toad's mouth. That white thing was…
"Terly-! You, how could you get eaten-!"
Terly who was eaten by the toad had one leg dangling out of its mouth which was spasming. And so I drew my short sword and charged the toad!
"Sob… Ugh, ugh– Wah…!"
Before me, Terly was covered in sticky toad fluid hugging her knees while sitting on the ground sobbing. Besides her was the toad with its head smashed.
"Ugh… Sob… Thank, thank you…Kanike, thank you…Wahhhhhhhhh….!"
Terly had been crying non stop since I dragged her out of the toad's mouth.
Even a goddess couldn't stand the horror of being preyed on.
"Are, are you okay Terly, be strong… Let's go back for today. The mission
we took on was exterminating 5 toads in 3 days, but they are not opponents
we could handle. Let's try again when we have better equipment. Look, I
only have a short sword and no armor, I'm still wearing my gym clothes. Let's come back when we are dressed more like adventurers."
To be honest, a novice like me only defeated the toad because it stopped
moving as it tried to swallow Terly.
If the toad attacked me without hesitation, I don't have the courage to face it.
Terly stood up with the glossy fluid all over her body.
"Ugh… For a goddess like me to be humiliated by a toad, how could we
retreat! I am already defiled. If a believer saw how dirty I am, their faith would definitely plummet! If people knew I ran from toads, it would be a disgrace to my mom the beautiful goddess Aqua!"
Don't worry about that. You carried several times more construction
materials than the men at the work site, and looked so happy while working.
Your greatest joy was eating dinner after taking a bath, you were sleeping so soundly that you even drooled while sleeping in the stables beside me. After seeing the way you acted, being covered in goo wasn't much.
But before I could stopped her, Terly charged towards another toad in the
distance.
"Ah! Hey, hold up, Terly!"
Terly ignored my restraint, drawing closer to the toad using her momentum to throw a punch at the belly of the toad.
"Feel the wrath of a goddess! You dare to oppose a goddess? Repent in hell!
God Blow!"
I remembered the staff in the guild telling me that physical attacks weren't effective against giant toads.
Her fist sunk into the soft abdomen, while the toad seemed unaffected…
Terly looked at the toad meekly in the eye and said softly:
"… Look, looking closely, toads are actually quite cute right?"
… And so, I defeated a 2nd giant toad that stopped moving as it attempted to
swallow its prey. The adventure for today ended with me bringing a wailing goddess covered in slime back to town.
