Chương 9: Giant Toads is Coming

However, Milcar smiles widely.

"Let's go, so, everyone can bathe, then you'll register at the adventurers' guild, umm, then we'll take on a mission and we'll have money", Milcar says, his voice leaving no room for doubt.

Immediately, Kazuma looks at Milcar with shining eyes. What does this mean?, It means he wouldn't have to work as a laborer anymore and could have a true experience of life in a magical world.

However, Eris quickly grabs Milcar's arm, leaning in slightly to whisper in Milcar's ear.

"We can't...", Before Eris can continue speaking, Milcar raises his right hand to cover Eris's small mouth with a finger.

Milcar smiles as he watches the astonished Eris, a trace of embarrassment spreading to her cheeks.

"Don't worry, Aqua can bring us good luck...", Milcar smiles, Eris's embarrassment quickly turning to annoyance. Eris opens her mouth to bite Milcar's finger, but Milcar withdraws his hand in time and turns away.

"Come on, it's still early, and we can get a good mission", Milcar speaks without leaving room for complaints.

"Yes!!!", Kazuma shouts and walks behind Milcar, Aqua mumbles something about sweets before chasing after Milcar, and Eris simply sighs before following Milcar.

...

After everyone bathes and registers as adventurers, Milcar takes on a mission to simply hunt giant toads instead of continuing their mission to hunt Kobolds.

The mission to hunt giant toads is the lowest-level mission, and Milcar believes that this time, nothing like elite giant toads would appear.

As Milcar's group walks through a green meadow, Aqua lightly tugs at the hem of Milcar's shirt.

"Hmph", Milcar murmurs something difficult to understand before turning his head towards Aqua. Aqua gives Milcar a smile with white teeth as she extends her right hand.

"Do you like cinnamon sweets?", Milcar asks. Aqua nods slightly, a gleam passing through her eyes. Then Milcar takes out a cinnamon sweet he previously bought in the village of Axel and places it in Aqua's hands.

"Hehehe, Milcar, Milcar, Milcar, your name is pretty, I like it...", Aqua smiles slightly and twirls around in place. She quickly puts the cinnamon sweet in her mouth and smiles at Milcar.

Unable to resist, Milcar pats Aqua's head, causing Aqua to narrow her eyes. The hand on her head makes Aqua feel a slight pleasure throughout her body, and she lightly pushes her head against Milcar's hand.

A moment later, Aqua opens her eyes and looks at Milcar resentfully. She quickly moves away from Milcar two or three steps and glares at him.

"You!" Aqua grits her teeth. "How dare you pat my head?, I'm a goddess!, I should be worshipped and... respected...", Aqua raises her voice as a feeling of grievance spreads throughout her body. "So, so, if you understand... please give me another sweet candy, this time chocolate", Aqua leans slightly, asking for a favor.

Milcar watches all this with a smile on his face. He can't take it anymore and hugs Aqua tightly.

"How cute!!!, Are you sure you're the water goddess and not the goddess of cuteness?", Milcar loses control and hugs Aqua tightly.

Taken by surprise, Aqua quickly tries to free herself from Milcar's embrace. "Let go of me!!, You must respect your goddess!!", Aqua struggles unsuccessfully. "Let go of me!! Quickly!! If you understand, then give me two sweets, one milk and one chocolate...", Aqua begins to mutter under her breath as she stops struggling to free herself from Milcar's hug.

In the distance, Kazuma watches this scene with his mouth open. Is this the goddess who insulted him and has been treating him like human trash?, Why does she look like a cute girl who wouldn't harm a fly?

Eris approaches Kazuma with a serious face.

"Hey, can you tell your subordinate to leave Milcar alone?", Eris murmurs annoyed, "We need to make money fast, do you understand?, If you understand, then go separate Aqua and Milcar", Finally, Eris murmurs something quietly as she sighs tiredly, she really misses being in the celestial realm.

After a while, Milcar finally stopped hugging Aqua, and the whole group continued their walk.

"Brother Milcar, I'm curious, What did you wish for as your ability to come to this world?, I mean, your desire", Kazuma approaches Milcar, Aqua is enjoying some sweets while Eris simply calmly observes the landscape.

"Well, I can cultivate immortal Qi", upon hearing Milcar's words, Kazuma's eyes widen enormously. How could he not know what cultivating Qi means?, In his previous life, he had read many novels, and in Chinese novels, immortal cultivation was mentioned, a kind of way to accumulate power to achieve immortality.

So, Kazuma quickly looks at Milcar's face before furrowing his brow.

"Brother Milcar, I don't want to sound rude, but you seem Western, you're not from China", Kazuma asks, Milcar showing his white teeth.

"Hehehe, I'm from California, I'm from the greatest country in the world, America!!!", Milcar says proudly, however, his words confuse Kazuma even more.

"America? Hehehe, Brother Milcar, America is a continent, not a country. In your case, California would be the United States of America. Perhaps Brother Milcar doesn't know that Latin America exists, Right?" Kazuma speaks with the tone of a teacher.

"Latin America?, Is that something to eat?", Milcar asks with genuine surprise, Kazuma sighs, shaking his head.

"Anyway, that doesn't matter now, we're in a new world now, Brother Milcar. Well, I wanted to ask, maybe, Can I cultivate Qi?", Kazuma asks hopefully.

Like a hot-blooded teenager defending gender equality, Kazuma couldn't bear Aqua's teasing while he was in the divine realm, so, due to some issues, he didn't get any special abilities or system when coming to this world.

"I'm afraid not, Mr. Kazuma. Perhaps you don't know, but there is no term for immortal cultivation in this world, there is no foundation for cultivation. This is a world oriented in medieval Europe; here, the only thing you can do to become stronger is to level up in your adventurer class, although the Qi here is abundant, that does not mean that animals or humans can cultivate Qi, Do you understand?", Milcar speaks seriously. Kazuma sighed disappointedly in his heart and swore in his heart that he would become stronger and have a harem in this wonderful world.

The group soon arrived at a green field where several giant toads rested.

"Let's gather for now!", Milcar raises his voice, and the whole group gathers.

"Well, well, this is easier than it seems. I'll kill the toads, and you guys do the rest of the work. If I leave some toads on the brink of death, you can take advantage to kill toads and gain some experience", Milcar gives orders without any hesitation and the entire group nods in agreement.
