Megumin didn't want anything and went out empty-handed, but she borrowed three million Eris from Roa.
Now, before even adventuring, the three people in the team owe Roa a considerable amount of Eris.
Standing at the door, Roa didn't directly take the three idiots, who were obviously excited, to the subjugation, but instead said to everyone, "Since I can lend you so much money, don't think that this money can just be taken for nothing. I also know many big shots in the Royal capital. If you run away because you owe too much money, no matter where you are, I will send someone to drag you out. So, don't think about running away."
Roa warned everyone.
It's no wonder Roa would say that. He really suspected that these guys would do something like running away.
Roa spoke bluntly, and everyone came out of the excitement of just getting weapons (Eris). When they thought about having to pay off their debts in the future, everyone's faces turned bitter.
Kazuma Satou said with some emotion, "Captain, you're being too blunt, aren't you?"
Roa shrugged and said casually, "I just hate being treated like an idiot by others. This little money isn't much to me, but I don't like people treating me like an idiot because I have a lot of money."
After Roa finished speaking, he didn't say anything else and went to the Adventurers Guild on his own, leaving the three of them looking at each other.
Kazuma Satou whispered a few words to Aqua and followed Roa's pace forward.
Just like that, Roa led everyone to the guild to receive a mission.
Roa skillfully scanned the bounty list. The monsters that had always dominated the list had already been defeated by Roa. The top column was empty, but relatively, the number of monsters at the bottom and in the middle had increased.
This has led to the adventurers in the town becoming busy recently.
After all, if they are left alone, these monsters suddenly attacking the town will also cause considerable trouble.
And this time, the target of the subjugation is a pack of wolves.
There are naturally wolves on the plains. Wolves are not very powerful monsters individually, but they become quite troublesome in large numbers.
Especially since there is obviously a leading wolf king in these wolf packs.
A large number of white wolves gathered together, and with a leader, they began to stir because they were not suppressed by those natural enemies. These beasts would choose a suitable time to attack the surrounding farms, which made the farmers miserable.
What Roa received was the task of subjugating those white wolves that had become rampant.
Of course, it is impossible to expect the three people in the team to do it. Wolves are cunning. Although these guys are still beasts, they have initially gained intelligence. Under the leadership of the wolf king, they will be very difficult to deal with. They are not those dull toads.
Roa called everyone together and said to the group, "Kazuma, Aqua, you two have to find a way to lure the wolves over, or restrain them within the range of Megumin's magic. Megumin's magic takes a long time to cast. During this time, you have to keep those guys in one place. It will be quite troublesome if they run away."
Kazuma Satou nodded, but then shook his head.
Kazuma Satou looked at Roa with a serious face, pointed at himself, and then pointed at the blue-haired girl next to him, and said uncertainly, "Um, Captain, are you sure we can restrain those guys with just the two of us? I clearly saw on the mission that there are at least a dozen white wolves there. Is it too hasty to rely on just the two of us?"
"Well, Kazuma, think of a way."
Roa patted Kazuma Satou on the shoulder, looking like he had high hopes for him.
Kazuma Satou's mouth twitched. The boy suppressed the speechless feeling in his heart and said expressionlessly, "Even if you say that, Captain, I can't do it. I just can't do it. Captain, it's not that I'm saying this, but I'm only level one now, and that idiot goddess next to me is completely useless. Instead of expecting us two to restrain them, you might as well expect a meteorite to fall from the sky and directly smash the Demon King to death."
Aqua, who was next to him, heard Kazuma call her an idiot again, and her expression became unhappy. The goddess wanted to maintain her glorious image and tried to speak up for herself, but was directly interrupted by Kazuma Satou: "Aqua, don't talk. If you talk, this mission will be given to you."
"Ah? I don't want something so troublesome."
"If you don't want it, then don't talk."
Aqua instantly became obedient.
After dealing with Aqua, Kazuma Satou looked at Roa with a serious face. Roa's pair of black eyes looked back at Kazuma Satou.
The two stared at each other for a moment, and no one spoke for a while.
Roa pondered for a while. In fact, what Kazuma Satou said was not unreasonable.
But just because Kazuma Satou and Aqua are useless, should he personally take action and take on the risks that the two useless people should bear?
Just kidding, he is the captain, and they are the members. There is no reason for the members to stand by and watch while the captain does it himself, right?
Roa asked again, "Really, there's no way at all?"
Kazuma Satou said decisively, "No."
Roa sighed and said with some embarrassment, "Kazuma, if that's the case, then what is your role? Aqua in the team can be a support, and Megumin can be a firepower output. What about you? Kazuma, what can you do? You're making it difficult for me."
Kazuma Satou was a little confused. He said directly, "Captain, no, why are you dragging me into this? It's really not that I don't want to help, but it's really difficult to restrain so many white wolves."
"No, no, no, it's not the same." Roa retorted.
The two had a heated debate about this.
After some bargaining, Kazuma Satou finally bit the bullet and agreed to Roa's conditions, with Kazuma Satou and Aqua dealing with half of the white wolves.
As for the remaining half, it was handed over to Roa.
Roa shook his head, feeling a little speechless.
Arriving at the agreed location, on the endless plain, there were a few birch forests. That was the junction of the plain and the forest. The terrain was slightly complicated, and it looked like a location that those cunning creatures liked to choose.
Roa talked to the farmer a few times. The other party didn't ask for much. As long as he could eliminate all the damn white wolves in this area, he would be willing to pay an extra amount of Eris as a reward.
With an extra sum of money for nothing, Roa naturally wouldn't refuse. After inquiring about the time when the white wolves might attack, Roa smiled at the farmer and said, "Don't worry, leave it to us here."
The farmer breathed a sigh of relief, chatted with Roa's team casually, and then retreated.
Aqua stared straight into the distance, and couldn't help but mutter, "By the way, why do I have to share the other half of the white wolves with you?"
What responded to Aqua was Kazuma Satou's death stare. Kazuma Satou tugged at the corner of Aqua's mouth and said very unhappily, "Do you want me to die so much? At least we only have to deal with half of the white wolves. You just need to give me buffs and restrain one or two white wolves. Can't you even do that? Aren't you a goddess?"
Aqua curled her lips and said unhappily, "You only remember that I'm a goddess when you need something. Since you know I'm a goddess, can you show me some respect?"
After Aqua finished speaking, she slapped away Kazuma Satou's hand fiercely and strode forward, ignoring Kazuma Satou standing in place. Aqua walked and said, "Okay, okay, isn't it just two magic wolves? Just some trash, the goddess will beat them all up."
After speaking, Aqua strode forward with a spirit of courage.
Kazuma Satou sighed and followed Aqua's pace.
There was still some time before the white wolves attacked, so Kazuma Satou prepared to go and observe the situation.
Because it was a matter of waiting for the rabbit, and the farm was nearby, everyone was on guard nearby.
Megumin exerted a little force on the hand holding the staff. The girl was panting, and her immature loli face was obviously flushed. The girl came to Roa and said nervously, "What should I do later?"
Roa patted Megumin on the shoulder and said casually, "Just cast the spell as usual, recite your long chuunibyou lines, and aim at the target."
Megumin swallowed subconsciously. The girl's face still had a nervous expression. Megumin said weakly, "Then, what if, they are not all wiped out?"
Roa shrugged and said, "Not all wiped out? That might be a little troublesome, but that's not the point. Megumin, do you know what I'm most worried about?"
Roa looked directly into Megumin's eyes, but Roa didn't speak, just silently walked away.
Megumin was slightly stunned and quickly caught up with Roa and asked, "What are you most worried about? Finish what you're saying."
Roa still didn't speak and found a place with a good view to look into the distance.
The young man silently responded to the girl in his heart: "What I'm most afraid of is that you will shake your hand and smash the meteorite into the farm."
Logically speaking, although the farm is next to it, there is no way that the explosion magic will be released into the farm.
But there are always accidents, what if?
This team of three is not a group that can't do this kind of thing.
Roa already had a clear understanding in his heart that these guys were unreliable.
Can Aqua and Kazuma Satou really hold on to the other half?
Can everyone really retreat safely?
Megumin was made to feel uneasy by Roa's words, and her attitude was not as confident as before. The hand holding the staff kept shaking. Megumin was made a little unconfident by Roa's words.
Time passed little by little, and soon it was the time agreed upon by everyone.
It was about nine o'clock in the morning, and at this time, Roa clearly saw a wolf with grayish-white fur hiding in the shadows. The wolf was hiding very well. Although Kazuma Satou and Aqua were both on guard around, they didn't notice the guy.
Roa saw it, but pretended not to notice it, secretly put a stealth buff on himself, and hid aside to silently watch the other party.
Megumin was still nervous, and the hands holding the staff were already sweating. The girl took a deep breath and repeated it several times to adjust her heartbeat.
Megumin didn't notice at all that Roa next to her had disappeared at some point.
Kazuma Satou in front looked around. Because of his level, Kazuma Satou's perception ability was not strong. Even with the enemy search skill, he couldn't detect the danger hidden in the forest because his level was not high enough.
Seeing Kazuma Satou's serious expression, Aqua simply handed over the responsibility of checking whether there was danger around to Kazuma Satou, and didn't care whether Kazuma Satou could find the danger. She sat aside and began to daze.
In Aqua's opinion, since someone was already working so hard, it wouldn't matter if she relaxed a little.
Soon, seven or eight magic wolves appeared in that birch forest. They were all staring at Roa and his group.
To be precise, they were staring at the farm behind Roa.
The uneasy cries of the cows came from there. The livestock seemed to instinctively sense the danger and began to riot.
Kazuma Satou finally realized that something was wrong. Kazuma Satou grabbed the dazed Aqua, retreated behind him, and said with a solemn expression, "Aqua, use enemy search to see how many white wolves are around."
Kazuma Satou asked Aqua to confirm how many white wolves there were, instead of confirming whether there were any white wolves, just because he had just made eye contact with a white wolf. The cold gaze made Kazuma Satou couldn't help but be startled. Fortunately, Kazuma Satou's psychological quality was not bad, and he forcibly stabilized himself, so he pulled Aqua over without revealing anything.
Aqua complained, "Kazuma, you're really annoying. Don't you have the enemy search skill yourself? Do you need me to look?"
Aqua reluctantly used this skill that adventurers would use for a lifetime.
However, with just one glance, Aqua's face instantly froze.
Kazuma Satou saw Aqua's expression and couldn't help but ask, "How many?"
Aqua showed a smile that was uglier than crying, and her legs began to tremble. Aqua silently turned her head and began to walk behind her.
Kazuma Satou pulled Aqua expressionlessly and asked again, "How many?"
Aqua said in a panic, "Probably, there are more than a dozen red dots inside? Those guys should all be in that forest, uh, the forest in front of us."
As soon as Aqua's words fell, a loud wolf howl came from the birch forest.
Immediately afterwards, a group of agile wolves walked out of the shadows covered by tall trees.
The wolf pack was not all white wolves as the farmer said. Some wolves were grayish-white, and some were white mixed with black, but the characteristics of these creatures were very obvious, that is, they were agile.
Their limbs were strong and their fur was shiny. It seemed that the farmer had fed these beasts quite well.
