"Wow! So much money! Does this mean I can buy anything I want?" Aqua exclaimed, her eyes sparkling as she heard about the massive amount of Eris Roy had earned.
"Not a chance. You don't need anything, Aqua. And you're definitely not allowed to use it for gambling or alcohol," Roy said sternly.
He had to help Aqua get rid of her bad habits.
Aqua's face crumpled, and she latched onto Roy, wailing, "No! Roy—you earned so much! Give me some! Just a little! A few hundred million will do!"
Roy's eye twitched as he gently pushed the blubbering Aqua away. A few hundred million? That was outrageous!
"Get a grip, Aqua! You look ridiculous!" he scolded.
As soon as he finished speaking, Aqua instantly transformed, her demeanor shifting from a sobbing mess to that of a graceful lady.
'Her mood swings are insane,' Roy thought, shaking his head.
"Roy-onii-chan, please give me some money! I promise I won't waste it!" Aqua pleaded, her voice sweet and innocent.
She had switched from her usual idiotic persona to that of a charming Goddess, even calling him "onii-chan" with a seductive tone.
Roy almost caved.
"Fine. Here's one million Eris. But no gambling or excessive drinking. If I find out you've been misbehaving, you're in trouble. Understand?"
Aqua snatched the money and cheered, "I knew you were the best, Roy!"
She had conveniently ignored his warning.
"Don't worry, Megumin, Darkness, and Chris, I'll give you your share later," Roy assured the others.
"Yay! I'm going to buy a fancy new staff!" Megumin exclaimed, her eyes gleaming with excitement.
She had always wanted a better staff.
Darkness, however, didn't seem too interested. As a noble, she wasn't short on money.
"I get a share too?" Chris asked in surprise.
"Of course. Just tell me what you want," Roy said with a smile and a nod.
"Wonderful! Roy, I want a staff too..." Aqua suddenly chimed in, clinging to Roy and acting cute.
After spending so much time with him, she had learned how to manipulate him...
....
They played around for a while, then finally returned to the inn late at night.
Roy was about to go to bed when he heard a knock on his door.
He opened the door and saw Chris standing there.
He knew what she wanted.
"Roy, give me back my panties!" she demanded, holding out her hand.
"About that... come in first," Roy said, pulling her into the room and closing the door behind them.
Chris was startled, and her face flushed slightly.
This was the first time a man had held her hand!
"Wh-what are you doing?" she asked nervously.
"Didn't you want your panties back?" Roy teased with a grin.
Suddenly, he realized that Chris wasn't wearing any panties now that he had them.
He glanced at her skirt, his imagination running wild.
Chris, noticing his gaze, instinctively covered her skirt and puffed out her cheeks. "Give them back! Or else..."
Although she didn't finish her sentence, she had already decided to make him pay if he didn't return her panties.
"Here you go."
Roy didn't play dumb. He took out her panties from his pocket.
Chris snatched them and ran out of the room.
Roy sighed, a bit disappointed. He had wanted to tease the naive Goddess a bit more.
But not long after Chris left, there was another knock on his door.
He opened it and saw Darkness standing there.
Had she actually taken his words from earlier seriously and come here for some "special training"?
If so, he would gladly oblige.
"Darkness, what brings you here so late?" Roy asked curiously.
"Um... didn't you say you wanted to play that game with me?" Darkness mumbled, blushing and avoiding his gaze.
Roy was surprised. So she really was here for that. But he was also a bit puzzled. Darkness, despite her masochistic tendencies, wouldn't normally engage in such activities with just anyone.
After all, she was a noblewoman.
"Darkness, why do you want to play this game with me? It's not something you should play with just anyone, right?" he asked directly.
"Because... because when I first saw you, Roy-san, I knew you were the same kind of person as me. So I don't mind playing that game with you. I... I like you," Darkness confessed, her face flushed.
Roy was stunned. He hadn't expected to be seen as a "pervert" by the masochistic Crusader, and he certainly hadn't expected a confession.
But he wasn't going to refuse a willing Darkness.
And so, they played their "game" in his room.
And Roy, of course, didn't hold back!
....
....
The next morning, Roy and the girls went to the Adventurer's Guild.
But before that, they had visited the weapons shop and bought new equipment for Aqua, Megumin, and Darkness.
Megumin was ecstatic about her new staff and refused to let go of it.
Roy chuckled, finding her reaction amusing.
Aqua, however, was disappointed. She had thought she could finally enjoy some drinks now that they had money.
But Roy had already spoken to Luna—asking her not to sell any alcohol to Aqua.
Luna—out of respect for Roy, readily agreed.
That's why Aqua was sulking.
Chris was nowhere to be seen.
So, only the four of them went to the guild hall.
"Now that everyone has new equipment, let's take on a quest!" Darkness declared.
She hadn't changed her armor, as it was already high-quality.
"Yes, and it has to be one with lots of weaklings!" Megumin added eagerly, clutching her new staff.
She had been holding back her Explosion magic since the cabbage incident.
Now, with her new staff, she was eager to unleash it.
"No, I want something that hits hard," Darkness chimed in, her face flushed and her thighs squeezing together.
Megumin and Aqua didn't find her behavior strange.
But Roy smirked inwardly. He had put a "toy" inside Darkness earlier that morning.
That's why she had already climaxed several times on their way to the guild.
But thanks to his magic, there were no visible signs of her "excitement."
Roy was impressed by her ability to maintain her composure in such a state.
He looked at the blushing and panting Darkness with amusement.
....
They reached the Quest board.
"Huh? Why are there only high-level quests left?" Darkness and Megumin wondered.
Usually, the board was filled with quests.
But now, there were only a few left, and they were all high-level, too dangerous for their party with an average level of only around ten.
Megumin had reached level eleven after defeating the wolves.
Roy was level thirteen.
And Darkness was also around level ten.
Without Roy, it would be risky for them to take on a high-level quest.
"I apologize," Luna said, approaching them with an apologetic smile. "It seems that a Demon King General has been stationed near the town recently. Due to his influence, the weaker monsters have all gone into hiding, and only the stronger ones remain. So, there are fewer quests available."
"I see," Aqua sighed.
They couldn't take on any quests like this.
"What do we do now?" Megumin whined.
She had just gotten a new staff and was eager to test it out.
"Luna, is there a quest about the Demon King General?" Roy asked.
"Eh?" Luna was surprised, then replied, "Yes, there is. There's a hefty reward for defeating him."@@novelbin@@
"But it's a very difficult quest, so it's not posted here. You'll have to go to the headquarters to accept it."
"And so far, no adventurer has taken it."
Darkness and Megumin's faces turned grim. This quest was undoubtedly dangerous.
"Then we'll take it," Roy declared with a confident smirk.
"What?!"
The girls were shocked.
They hadn't expected Roy to accept such a dangerous quest.
With their current levels, it was practically suicide.
Roy looked at the stunned Darkness and Megumin and chuckled. "What's wrong? Is the strongest Explosion mage and the masochistic Crusader scared?"
"H-How could I be scared? I'm the one who controls the strongest magic, Explosion!" Megumin retorted, her pride wounded.
"Yes, as a Crusader, I won't back down from a fight," Darkness agreed with a determined nod.
They had been riled up by Roy's taunts.
Aqua, however—looked worried. "Roy, I'm scared. Why don't we get stronger first, then challenge the Demon King General?" she pleaded.
"....."
Roy sighed. She was a Goddess, yet she was so timid.
