"Besides, three hundred million Eris is too much for you to spend alone. Why not give me some so your lovely teammates can help you spend it?"
Aqua was quite arrogant, showing no sign of humility. This was not a request; it felt more like extortion.
"Huh? Lovely? Are you talking about this blue slime in front of me? I don't see anything lovely about it. Let me tell you, I won't give you a single coin of this reward," Roa squinted his eyes, and upon hearing Aqua's shameless words, he didn't hold back and directly entered sarcasm mode.
At the same time, he struggled more forcefully, showing signs of breaking free at any moment.
Seeing that one hand wasn't enough, Aqua quickly added another hand, trying to suppress Roa again.
The effect was minimal; Roa indicated that the sealing technique was no longer effective against him.
The goddess's charm was limited; the blue idiot couldn't suppress him. If it were Darkness, there might be a chance, after all, she possessed a sealing technique that surpassed D-cup under Mitsuri Kanroji and above Luna.
However, the current C-cup sealing technique was no longer able to restrain Roa's arms.
Seeing Roa's unyielding heart, who had no intention of giving her a single coin, Aqua angrily said, "Bastard, speak to me with some respect! I remember who you are; you're that blonde who asked me for a divine artifact. I even gave you the artifact and teleported you to this world, and this is how you repay this goddess? Bastard, you bastard, despicable!"
Aqua tried to grab Roa's sleeve, planning to throw a tantrum, a move she often used when confronting others.
Roa swatted Aqua's hand away and directly lifted her up. Aqua struggled desperately in Roa's grip, shouting, "Someone is bullying me here! Everyone, come help! There's an adventurer using brute force because he thinks he's strong. Everyone, come on, show this guy some color!"
"Hey, Kazuma, haven't you always disliked this guy? Come help me! Megumin, aren't you poor? Now that Roa has struck it rich, he doesn't plan to share with us. Did you hear what he said? He won't give us a single coin! Can we tolerate this? Darkness, I know you've always wanted Roa to teach you a lesson. If you help me this time, Roa will definitely be angry. He might go back and give you a good beating!"
Aqua attempted to sow discord, but Roa directly countered, grabbing the idiot's chin with one hand, rendering the foolish goddess speechless.
Encountering such a character was indeed Roa's misfortune.
Roa's gaze swept over the crowd, and he calmly addressed Luna, "I'm taking the reward, is that okay?"
"N-no problem! This matter was indeed your undertaking, Lord Roa, so it should be you who receives the reward," Luna said, wiping the sweat from her forehead, her expression becoming quite strange.
Aqua's actions had indeed caught everyone off guard; she clearly contributed nothing but still wanted a share.
However, everyone had a sense of self-awareness; they knew their worth and treated Aqua's words as mere background noise.
Roa also wouldn't take the idiot's words seriously. Glancing at the people gathered around, he casually said, "But this incident has indeed troubled everyone. I'll treat you all to a meal today, so enjoy it."
Aqua, who had been fuming, instantly fell silent, her struggles lessening significantly, her eyes sparkling. Seeing this, Roa simply set her down.
Aqua didn't eat lunch and instead dragged it out until dinner.
When asked why she didn't eat lunch, Aqua's response was quite straightforward.
"I'll eat Roa out of his house and home."
That was Aqua's exact words, which showed just how much resentment she harbored.
In reality, even if Aqua skipped lunch, it was impossible for her to eat Roa out of house and home.
At the banquet, Aqua gorged herself, ordering the most expensive food and drinks.
Her goal was to ensure that even if she burst from overeating, Roa's little treasury would lose some income.
Roa watched this unfold but ignored the idiot.
This expense was just a small amount compared to three hundred million Eris.
Roa continued to eat simply, contemplating his future plans.
Initially, Roa's idea was to let the four idiots develop slowly, then take the already formed team to defeat the Demon King.
However, on a whim, he exposed his true strength.
But upon reflection, Roa felt it didn't matter.
If he couldn't fight, he could still carry four burdens; as long as he was strong enough, he should be able to lead this group.
Roa thought this way and believed it.
After all, more than three months had passed, and his strength had been significantly liberated.
Est and Restia could already summon in reality, and even if they faced the Demon King head-on, there was nothing to fear.
After a night of revelry, everyone drank to their heart's content. Thanks to Roa, the tavern unusually stayed open all night, accommodating those who were completely drunk.
A large group of adventurers lay sprawled on the floor, and Aqua had drunk to the point of convulsing.
After settling the bill, Roa's mouth twitched at the numbers displayed.
This meal had cost nearly fifty million Eris.
It was clear that she didn't treat other people's money as money; it seemed he needed to be more careful next time he treated.
Looking at the members slumped over the table, Roa shook his head, realizing that they couldn't take on any tasks today.
Roa thought for a moment; if they couldn't take on tasks, then they couldn't. He would let them rest for a day.
However, in the afternoon, an unexpected visitor showed up.
A girl in a pure white dress was looking at Roa with an angry expression.
Kazuma Satou glanced at Roa, then at the girl in front of him, scratching his head and showing a look of someone who was enjoying the drama.
Darkness looked astonished and said, "Princess Iris, what are you doing here?"
Iris still wore her unchanged outfit, adorned with a slightly odd ornament. The girl's delicate face showed a hint of grievance as her gaze swept over the people beside Roa.
Hearing Darkness's question, Iris replied unhappily, "What's so strange about me being here?"
Darkness covered her head, feeling a bit of a headache, and said, "If the princess of the kingdom appears here, it would be abnormal! Your Highness, you need to go back; it's too dangerous here. Just yesterday, members of the Demon King's army came here."
