I like traveling the most

“The guild’s tasks have increased again.

"Because the Headless Horseman was defeated."

Everyone is gathering around the Adventurer's Guild's bulletin board, looking for tasks suitable for them.

In addition to those outrageous tasks such as [Medicine Man] and [Meat Target], the remaining tasks of collecting herbs, ores and defeating monsters have increased a lot.

But is there any point in doing the task now?

Sato Kazuma frowned.

He thought for a moment and said to them seriously: "Hey, Darkness, Megumin! I have something to tell you."

"...What's wrong, so serious?"

Everyone looked at him doubtfully.

Sato Kazuma suddenly made a useless declaration, saying: "In the future, I want to reduce the number of adventures! Since I got such a large sum of money from defeating the Headless Horseman, I want to live a leisurely and safe life!"

"Wait, what do you mean by that?!"

"That's right, I've never heard of it!"

As soon as they finished speaking, Megumin and Aqua refused.

The little chuunibyou loli raised her wand and said excitedly: "It's a big problem for me not to be able to fight strong enemies. I want to get the title of the strongest magician!"

"Give up, it's impossible in this life."

Sato Kazuma mercilessly destroyed Megumin's enthusiasm.

Aqua also said anxiously: "No! I absolutely disagree! If Kazuma doesn't defeat the Demon King, won't I be able to go back?!"

It turns out that she was also one of the losers.

But in Xiao Lin's roll call, the Headless Horseman is just the vanguard of the Demon King, and it is still too early to return to the heaven.

Her desire to fight was instantly aroused.

"Wait a minute...what's going on with defeating the Demon King?" Megumin was stunned for a moment, then suddenly came over.

Darkness also said excitedly: "That is to say, I don't know about this at all!"

Yes, I forgot to mention that.

"Actually, our initial goal was to defeat the Demon King." Sato Kazuma said it directly without any foreshadowing.

If other people heard this, they would probably laugh so hard that their stomachs hurt. A few novices would just want to defeat the Demon King.

But there are absolutely no normal people in this team.

Megumin's eyes shone scarlet, which was proof of her excitement, and she shouted: "I'm going! I'm going to defeat the Demon King! If I can successfully defeat the Demon King, I will definitely become the strongest Explosion Mage!"

"Devil King or something... Defeat the Demon King or something... The captured female knight was toyed with in a dark secret room. Although defeating the Demon King is an extremely lofty ideal, being able to be toyed with at will has always been my dream! Hiss! ——Ha——hiss——ha——”

Darkness started generating electricity again.

Although in ordinary toilet paper light novels, it would be unreasonable for a few female knights not to kneel at the feet of the Demon King, but the Demon King certainly does not want a knight like Darkness.

Not to mention the exaggerated defense of his body, he is still a complete pervert.

You will definitely be thrown out of the house in disgust.

Sato Kazuma shook his head to get rid of these strange thoughts, and they said seriously: "In short, I just want to live here leisurely, and never do dangerous things!"

After seeing the power of the Headless Horseman, he had more ideas in this regard.

Assuming that there are seven more people as powerful as the Headless Horseman, plus the Demon King who may be even more powerful, how can a few of them stand up to each other? →

"Speaking of which, Aqua, hurry up and give me your skills!"

"...banquet skills?"

"It's the high priest's skill!"

Sato Kazuma cursed angrily and said with disgust: "The only thing you can be interested in is the high priest's skill. Teach it to me quickly, and then you will be useless again!"

That's quite exaggerated and heartless.

But that's the kind of man he is, and it's normal to behave like this.

But Aqua disagreed.

Her big blue eyes were full of tears, and she cried and said: "I don't want it, don't take away the meaning of my existence, don't want it~~~"

"This guy...!"

Sato and Zhen clenched their fists angrily.

He hates Aqua being like this the most. She is always useless, and occupies his own powerful skills without sharing them. He demands too much to take her on adventures with him.

It's obviously useless!

...He completely forgot that the Headless Horseman finally ascended to heaven under Aqua's powerful holy purification skills.

Maybe it was the relationship that made Aqua's troubles more impressive to him.

"Besides..."

Sato Kazuma sighed, looked at Kobayashi who pretended not to be bothered and said, "Since you want to conquer the Demon King, wouldn't it be better to let Kobayashi-senpai lead you?"

He has a smart mind, can take care of others, and has cheats.

The things they brought back from another world have increased their strength a lot. As long as they continue like this, they will quickly defeat the Demon King without any need for their help.

To put it too much, they are actually holding us back.

After Xiao Lin heard his name, he pointed at himself and said in confusion: "...Eh? Me? Why?"

"Why... isn't Kobayashi-senpai one of the brave men sent to this world? Defeating the Demon King is your ultimate goal, right?" Sato Kazuma said.

"It's too much, Sato-kun, to leave the trouble to others. Besides, I never said that I wanted to conquer the Demon King."

"Well……"

Sato Kazuma was suddenly dumbfounded.

He thought about it carefully. Xiaolin never said that he wanted to defeat the Demon King. He just subconsciously thought that the heroes sent by Aqua were all aiming to defeat the Demon King.

Did he misunderstand? !

"Sato-kun, not all heroes aim to defeat the Demon King. In fact, most heroes are the ones who bring trouble to this world. As far as I know, there is a person who created a machine that can destroy a country. It is even out of control and running around the continent now."

"No, no way, hahaha..."

Sato Kazuma smiled awkwardly.

But seeing Xiaolin's expression that didn't seem fake, and thinking about Aqua's unreliable look, he always felt that it was very likely.

No!

Even if he said that, it would never shake his heart!

Sato Kazuma said stubbornly: "In short, I will never do dangerous tasks again. After getting the bounty, I will live a comfortable and happy life here! Besides, how about I just quit the team?"

Just then——

"Excuse me! Xiaolin! The bounty for your subjugation of the Dullahan has been issued!"

Luna's voice came into his ears.

Although her voice was not loud, it instantly calmed the noisy guild, and everyone's eyes were focused on her.

"First of all, I want to thank Xiaolin for helping everyone to repel the Dullahan and save this town."

"No, it's what we should do."

Xiaolin said politely.

After all, the reason why the Dullahan attacked was their team. If they didn't deal with the Dullahan, they would be dealt with by the other party.

"Then, I will distribute the bounty to everyone next."

"Oh oh oh!!!"

Sato Kazuma was very excited. He had been looking forward to this day for a long time.

300 million Eris!

Enough for him to live a happy life in this town!

However——

"Eh?"

Sato Kazuma looked at the shriveled purse in his hand. Compared with Aqua's bulging purse, Megumin's second, and Darkness's third, his thin purse could hardly make any sound when it was shaken.

Compared with Kobayashi's checks, it was even pitifully small.

"Wait! This is not right!"

Sato Kazuma couldn't stand it, he shouted loudly: "Isn't it 300 million Eris? Why is mine the least?!"

"How should I put it... Actually, this is based on the contribution made in the crusade against the Dullahan."

Luna explained awkwardly.

Because of Kobayashi's intervention, Sato Kazuma only shot one arrow and had no chance to show his skills, which led to the pitiful amount of bounty he received.

"How could it be..."

Sato Kazuma lowered his head, looking extremely negative, but before anyone could comfort him, he simply raised his head again, grabbed a task list from the bulletin board, and said, "Everyone, let's go do the task!"

"Wow——"

"Kazuma?"

"Scumbag..."

The team members looked at him with disdain.

But this is also Sato Kazuma's style, isn't it?

Although the animation didn't show it, the novel does give rewards based on contributions, so please be aware.
