Roa was still a little puzzled as to why Darkness's attitude had changed so much. The young man didn't know that his identity had been seen through by the other party, and only thought that the other party was just a little restrained, so he made such an attitude.
Roa smiled, exuding a gentle temperament. This temperament was like the sunshine of the rising sun, and like the breeze of autumn. For some reason, that unremarkable face always gave people a very attractive illusion.
The young man's gentle voice came, and Roa casually said, "Relax, there's no need to be nervous, after all, my team is not a particularly powerful team."
Darkness thought about the configuration of Roa's team.
A high priest, a magician who is good at explosion magic, and the fierce man in front of him, except for Kazuma Satou, who doesn't know what his role is, this team is quite luxurious.
In this instant, the young knight thought a lot. She thought that the young man was unwilling to be lonely and stay in the royal capital, and couldn't bear to see the soldiers on the front line charging into battle and eventually dying on the battlefield. Her mind automatically made up a knight who exuded brilliance, unwilling to see those ordinary people being poisoned by the Demon King's army and the people living in misery.
At this moment, she thought a lot, and the more she made up for it, the brighter the look in the girl's eyes became.
Only this explanation can prove why the young man came to such a remote place without saying a word. It is impossible for the other party to come here just for a vacation and retirement.
Seemingly to confirm this, Darkness paused, forcibly suppressed the excitement in her heart, and Darkness, whose eyes were shining, said to the unremarkable young man in front of her, "Pamela, are you going to crusade against the Demon King? With such a powerful combination, if you add me, there will be three upper-level classes. Such a combination can indeed challenge the Demon King's army."
Roa pondered slightly and nodded, "Indeed, if possible, our ultimate goal is to crusade against the so-called Demon King."
Speaking of this, the young man seemed to be afraid that his words were too conceited, and added a sentence at the end, "Well, after all, as an adventurer, everyone will think about crusading against the Demon King, right?"
Roa didn't know how much impact his words had on Darkness.
At this moment, the young man was like an angel in the world, and all the beautiful words in the world could be added to Roa.
"If, if that's the case, there will definitely be many strong enemies, right?"
"Uh, that's right, but you."
Roa was still talking about some of the risks that might be faced, and Darkness's mind seemed to see the scene of crusading against the Demon King. Behind him were endless monsters, Roa led everyone to charge towards the Demon King, and she shouted, "I'll stay behind to cover you."
Since it is to cover the rear, facing such a number of enemies, even she will be exhausted, right?
She can naturally be captured by the other party. Then what she faces must be their severe torture and whipping.
"If that's the case, if that's the case… please be sure to let me join you!"
Darkness trembled all over, as if she had been electrocuted. A trace of blush appeared on the girl's delicate face. The masochistic knight in front of her seemed to have thought of something. Her body twisted, and the white armor looked particularly strange at this moment.
Roa raised his eyebrows when he saw Darkness's movements. The young man subconsciously took a step back.
How could he not know the personality of this perverted pervert?
For a moment, he began to wonder if he had made a wrong decision by pulling the other party into the team.
However, it is too late to regret all this now.
Roa sighed and nodded slightly, "Then let's go on a mission tomorrow. I see that your equipment is quite complete, so you shouldn't need my assistance."
After speaking, the young man tapped the girl's armor, which made a clanging sound that echoed crisply in the small area.
The young man teased lightly, "Well, with your physical condition, you probably don't need something like this, right?"
Roa was unaware that her image had been mythologized by the other party. Her tone carried a hint of teasing, and her speech was somewhat frivolous.
After all, when dealing with a devoted girl, there was no need to show too much respect.
Darkness was somewhat at a loss. This not-so-old knight was momentarily stunned, not knowing what to say, and could only look at Roa with wide eyes.
Roa shrugged and casually said, "Let me introduce you to my team members. In the meantime, I'll take you for a little tour around the area. By the looks of you, it seems like you snuck out from home, right? You look completely unfamiliar."
Darkness muttered to herself, "Who knew you would come here."
The remaining time was spent taking Darkness around the town.
Nothing special happened, and there were no unexpected incidents. The young man walked ahead, narrating, while Darkness quietly followed behind, listening.
As Roa continued talking, he couldn't help but become a bit more flirtatious.
Roa was not the type to be overly honest. To be honest, it was his first time meeting a devoted girl, and he felt quite curious.
Roa curiously asked, "So, Darkness, I heard you charge to the front lines without hesitation."
Darkness's face turned slightly red, and her mature features showed a flustered expression. The girl lowered her head and silently nodded.
Roa continued to probe, "Charging to the front often means taking the most hits. Don't you feel pain doing that?"
Darkness couldn't help but quietly argue, "It's not about pain; it's actually quite comfortable."
Roa had sharp ears and, upon hearing Darkness's words, fell silent for a moment. Looking at the curvaceous girl in front of him, he couldn't help but tease, "So that's why you throw yourself into the front lines?"
Darkness seemed surprised that her quiet mumbling could be heard so clearly by him. The unique embarrassment and the pleasant sensations coursing through her body made Darkness shiver involuntarily.
What would the person she admired think if they discovered her peculiar preference?
Would they look down on her?
They would definitely look down on her; after all, she was such a pervert.
But for some reason, even though she might be looked down upon, a strange feeling arose from the depths of her heart.
Roa could clearly sense that Darkness's breathing had become heavier.
Roa opened his mouth but found himself at a loss for words.
He had underestimated the perversion of devoted girls.
After that, he spoke less, fearing that he might inadvertently get entangled with her.
If she latched onto him, things would become quite troublesome.
If she were to throw herself at him, he would have to worry for a while.
Moreover, this time he came to this world purely to gather some temporal power; he already had enough women around him and couldn't let things escalate endlessly.
Thinking of this, Roa gritted his teeth, his gaze revealing a determined look.
He, Roa, a gentleman, could not engage in actions that were purely physical without emotional involvement.
Time passed like this, with the young man harboring worries while waiting for everyone to arrive.
In the evening, everyone gathered together. The four guys were all there to eat and drink, and naturally, Roa had no good expression to give them.
Roa simply greeted them casually and then sat down weakly in a chair, watching the combination of idiots, chuunibyou, otaku, and devoted girl arguing together.
Thanks to the presence of the chaotic true one, everyone quickly became familiar with each other.
It must be said that the chaotic true one was indeed very strong.
He easily accomplished things that Roa had wanted to do in his previous life but dared not attempt.
One could only say that there were differences even among those who had crossed over. Although Roa was powerful, he was cautious in his actions, far from the chaotic true one, who lived freely and did as he pleased.
This was not a mockery; sometimes, Roa really wanted to be as reckless as the chaotic true one.
But he could never engage in actions like pulling someone's pants down.
Thinking of this, Roa couldn't help but sigh, wearing a troubled expression.
The four people beside him laughed carefreely, forming a stark contrast to Roa.
The joys and sorrows of people do not resonate with each other.
Darkness was indeed an excellent team member. Although he had learned about her damage absorption ability from the anime, seeing this knight in action in reality still surprised Roa.
A level seven Megumin could cast such powerful explosion magic.
A level six paladin could withstand a hit from explosion magic and not die, only losing combat ability for a short time. After resting for a while, they could bounce back to life, which astonished Roa.
As time went on, Darkness became increasingly bold and began to show signs of becoming more perverted.
Perhaps she realized that Roa was not as perfect as she imagined, or perhaps it was because Roa occasionally made lewd jokes and teased a bit.
The relationships among everyone were rapidly closing in, and Darkness quickly learned what kind of person Roa was.
After a few days of observation, Darkness finally confirmed that Roa was an extremely scheming person.
He had strong abilities but never spoke about them, only showing a bit more strength than everyone else, but not significantly more. He led the three team members around to hunt monsters, and when encountering difficult foes, he would not take the initiative to attack but would instead go into hiding and slip away alone, or simply stand by and watch the fun.
In some tasks, he would even find ways to make things worse.
Now, it had been a month since Darkness joined the team.
She had been doing odd jobs for a month without reason, and her Eris had only increased by three million.
Three million Eris in a month.
And during this month, the small team had taken on quite a few tasks, even directly taking on most of the mid-level tasks.
However, she had only received three million Eris.
This could no longer be described as poverty; after working hard every day, running around, and watching Aqua get eaten by various monsters, she had even gotten used to it.
However, this month had indeed been quite pleasant, to the point where she felt her body becoming increasingly strange.
Simple torment no longer satisfied Darkness; in pursuit of that thrill, she even took the initiative to act as bait, gathering those monsters together and then letting Megumin cast explosion magic at her location.
Only the heat wave rushing towards her and the burning pain on her body could make Darkness feel truly alive.
One day, everything was as usual.
They simply went on a mission, with Darkness taking the lead, Aqua casting a few blessings, and Megumin finishing with a big move.
Everything was so simple, everything flowed naturally.
After finishing all this, they returned to the guild, handed in the bounty, and then leisurely sat in their chairs.
Since Roa was the financier, everyone still owed him quite a bit of money, so their attitude towards him was relatively respectful. The main seat was always reserved for Roa, while everyone else sat beside him.
Just when everyone felt a bit bored, a high-pitched alarm sounded from above the adventurer's guild, which was the highest point in the small town.
"The Demon King's army's officers have appeared! All adventurers, please gather outside the city! All adventurers, please gather outside the city!"
The voice repeated several times, and the hands that were about to eat paused slightly.
Roa was somewhat surprised; he instinctively thought of that headless knight.
Although he had indeed let him go, to be honest, he really didn't expect him to appear here.
But upon closer thought, could it really be him?
It might not necessarily be him.
However, since the Demon King's army had already appeared, they naturally wouldn't let it go unchecked.
Aqua was somewhat limply lying on the table, her azure hair cascading down to her waist. She looked weak, giving off a feeling that she could collapse at any moment.
"So troublesome, so troublesome! Why does this have to happen at this time? Can't it wait a bit? I'm still hungry!"
Roa sighed, his expression carrying a hint of helplessness. The young man shrugged and stood up, saying to everyone, "In that case, let's quickly deal with that troublesome guy. The food might still be warm."
"Wow, quite the bold words, Captain."
Aqua shot a sidelong glance at Roa. For some reason, he felt that this idiot goddess had been particularly resentful towards him lately.
Roa reached out and directly lifted Aqua. She showed no awareness, allowing him to handle her, and her movements were so familiar that it was clear she had been treated this way before.
Kazuma Satou and Megumin exchanged glances, both seeing the look of helplessness in each other's eyes.
The captain had been increasingly letting himself go lately, and realizing that the team was hard to manage, he simply decided to let them be.
Of course, for important events like this that required participation, he would still force everyone to join.
Seeing Kazuma Satou and Megumin still in a daze, Roa paused his steps and called out to the two behind him, "You two, why aren't you hurrying up? Are you planning to let me carry you?"
