Chapter 625: The Monster Army Triggered by the Magic Herb
"Xiao Lin, let's go do the mission!"
One day, the stupid goddess Aqua suddenly came to him and asked for a mission right away.
Xiaolin opened his eyes wide.
"What's wrong, Aqua? This is not like you at all! How come a stay-at-home goddess who always eats, drinks and plays and doesn't want to work, who would rather lie down and starve to death than stand up to eat, suddenly wants to go on a mission?! And she has a lot of money at home and doesn't need to go out to work!"
"Who do you take me for?"
The stupid goddess' eyes were filled with tears, but that was her nature, and Kobayashi was only telling her what she had done.
"So, why do the mission?"
Xiaolin asked curiously: "Shouldn't you be in the warehouse making Yui's body? Why are you out here on a mission?"
"It's because of the body that I come out to do the mission."
Aqua rolled her eyes.
According to her, it was because of a special part that was only in the hands of a certain noble.
"Then go buy it. We have money anyway."
"I tried, but the noble refused to sell it to us. He said we could only do it if we completed a quest and used quest items in exchange."
"Oh, here's the trick."
Xiaolin nodded.
This is quite normal in the other world. Bartering is the mainstream of this world and it will never go out of style.
"Xiao Lin, I have no other choice, so you have to accompany me to do the mission!"
"Yes, I understand."
Xiao Lin scratched his head and had to agree.
While the two were talking, Huihui and Darkness also arrived.
"Oh, what are you two talking about?"
"What's the matter with going on a mission?"
When asked, he told them that he needed parts, and after hearing that, the two of them said they must go with him!
Darkness was eager to try and said, “I haven’t done a mission for a long time. I don’t know if my skills have become rusty.”
"You mean the ability to be beaten?"
"uh-huh--"
She moaned with a blushing face.
Huihui also raised her wand and shouted, “Hehehe, my explosion magic is thirsty. I haven’t killed any monsters in a long time!”
"You've been wreaking havoc around town?"
"what!"
Her eyes were red and her mouth was puffed up.
Aqua was surprised and asked, "Xiao Lin, you have been very harsh with your words recently. Are you feeling unwell?"
"Nothing, I just found someone who was going to tear down the roof after not being beaten for three days. You said, right, goddess, there are countless bottles of wine piled up in the warehouse?"
"You, you you you...what are you talking about? I don't understand."
She turned her head away and didn't dare look at Xiaolin.
He sighed helplessly.
Sato Kazuma was called away by Eris, and no one knew what happened. Maybe she wanted to find a new owner for Shengkai.
Youyou was asked by Wiz to look after the store, so she was not at home either.
Liu Zi is doing monthly maintenance in the warehouse and will not appear today.
So this task was given to the four of them.
Came to the forest near the town.
Krillin didn't give Huihui and Darkness any chance to attack. His silk threads were a deadly weapon in such a crowded place. No matter how strong or weak the monsters were, they were all killed.
Soon, there was nothing around.
Darkness looked around and asked, "How's it going, Xiaolin? Are there any more monsters here?"
"No more, it seems that the last one was the one just now." Kobayashi looked around and did not find any suspicious monsters.
"Then now is the opportunity."
Aqua cheered, "Hurry up and collect it! Which one is the grass for the mission?"
This guy said he was here to complete a mission, but he didn't even know who the target of the mission was.
"This is the magic herb."
Huihui pointed at a blade of grass in the bush.
She is a great magician from the Crimson Demon Clan. She is good at making potions and magic tools, so she is also proficient in herbs.
"Magic herb... the herb that summons monsters, the name sounds really dreamy."
Darkness said so.
"Yeah, I haven't seen this kind of magic grass before. The ones near the Crimson Devil Village should have been eradicated."
"Probably. At least there shouldn't be such things near the village, right?"
Xiaolin responded with a reply, and said, "Let's separate and gather the grass, and then gather again before the monsters gather. Darkness, prepare the grass bags."
“Ah, it’s here.”
Darkness carefully took out a large bag.
Aqua looked at the bag carefully and said, "If I put it in this, I can seal the smell and carry it with me. It's really convenient."
Well, even Xiaolin finds it very convenient.
He was very interested in this magic item, but unfortunately it was loaned to them by the guild and had to be returned after the mission was completed, and it was not for sale.
"Sniff, sniff-"
Huihui picked a magic herb, smelled it and said, “Hmm… I’m not sure, can monsters sense this wonderful fragrance?”
"Probably. There are many smells that humans can't smell, but monsters can."
Kobayashi thought of Natsuki Subaru.
Xiaolin couldn't smell the witch's scent on him, but the monster and the twin maids could smell it.
I have no idea why.
Darkness blushed and said, “Well, if we use the ingredients of this grass to make perfume, it will be a good training.”
"You...are probably thinking about something else."
"W-What are you talking about! I don't want to be attacked by monsters! This is just part of training!"
Such a flustered explanation.
No need to guess what she is thinking.
Xiao Lin sighed and said, "Just in case, please don't hide the magic herb secretly."
“Ah, there’s also this hand…” Darkness suddenly realized.
"……Hello!"
"Don't be so suspicious. I won't do anything to endanger my companions."
Have you done enough?
Whether it's rushing into a group of monsters or actively attracting monsters, there are countless things to do.
Soon they returned after collecting the herbs.
However, on the way back, they encountered many monsters, or to be more precise, a lot of monsters.
Xiaolin frowned.
"Why did we encounter monsters?"
"The Mo-Mo vanilla should have been put away, right?" Aqua said in a panic, "Could it be that the bag... the bag has a hole?"
Following her gaze, everyone quickly looked towards the bag.
"Well, the bag, the bag is fine!"
Panting, Huihui checked it carefully and found no broken holes or any other problems.
Xiaolin quickly looked at the only possible person.
“Darkness, did you really hide it secretly? Didn’t you say you wouldn’t do that?”
"That's not right! The monsters aren't just targeting me! And even if you use the taunt skill, the monsters will still rush towards you! There must be another reason!"
"Then how do we explain this situation?"
Xiaolin continued to destroy the hordes of monsters behind him.
Giant toads, bloody flying squirrels, one-shot bears, novice killers, and even several comfort girls!
Hey, hey, hey, are monsters attacking the city?
It would be no problem if they could all be dealt with, but the endless stream of monsters rushing in gave even Xiao Lin a headache.
“Hahahahahahaha…”
"It's too late. I can't run anymore..."
Aqua and Megumin were breathing heavily.
Darkness quickly yelled, “Hey, don’t stop! You’ll be ravaged by the monsters!”
“But, but…!”
Aqua looked like she was about to cry, so Kobayashi had no choice but to tie her up and keep running to the plain behind.
If so many monsters were to return to the town, it might cause a disaster, which was something Kobayashi didn't want to see.
Huihui also panted and shouted, “Um, that… Xiaolin! Could it be that the smell of the magic herb is lingering on us?!”
"Hey, it's very possible!"
There was no hole in the bag, and it didn’t respond to Darkness’s taunting skill. Even Krillin’s killing spree should have frightened the monsters and made them retreat, but now he still rushed towards the four people regardless.
After thinking about it, this is the only possibility left!
Darkness quickly agreed, “If you think about it carefully, it is true. After all, we picked the grass with our bare hands and held it in our hands…”
So that’s it, I understand!
In that case——
"You guys!"
“What, what are you doing!”
"Take off your clothes now!"
"Seriously!"
When Huihui heard Xiaolin shouting like that, she was completely stunned.
Asking people to take off their clothes while being chased by a group of monsters, what a weird game!
"Xiao Lin, you've also been infected by Kazuma!"
"How is this possible! Would I still joke in this situation? Take off your clothes quickly!"
Xiaolin's thread trembled.
In just a second, Huihui's cloak and coat were all taken off, and she stood on the plain in her underwear.
It's black, by the way.
Aqua looked at Kobayashi with disgust.
"Hey, hurry up! It can save lives!"
“Waaaaaaa——”
Darkness screamed loudly when her clothes were pulled off. She was so bold in other situations, so why did she start screaming again at this time?
"B-But, taking off clothes in a place like this... wuwu, this is not the humiliation I want."
"That's enough, your life is at stake, take it off quickly!"
Xiaolin shouted loudly.
Darkness yelled, “What kind of shameful play is this! This is not the kind of humiliation I want!”
Hui Hui also cried and said, "I can't get married anymore..."
Oh my, it seems that pretending to be weak can bring good things like this.
At this time, Aqua patted Xiaolin on the shoulder and said, "Xiaolin Xiaolin..."
"What are you doing? What are you doing? Hurry up and take off your clothes."
Just to see if you are wearing any underwear!
Who would have thought that Aqua suddenly came up with an intelligent answer: "I think there's no point in taking off clothes if your face and hair smell."
"Ah, that's true..."
Darkness suddenly realized.
This guy only uses his instincts at times like these. He's obviously just a complete idiot.
Huihui quickly put on her clothes and shouted anxiously, “What should we do? The monsters are coming this way! Xiaolin, you have to think of a solution quickly!”
Tsk, looks like I still have to take action?
Xiaolin curled his lips.
It was clearly a great opportunity, but the plan did not succeed.
Darkness then said, “Meihui, give me the magic herb, along with the bag.”
"Hey, what do you want to do?"
"Since they are following the scent of the magic herb, I will take them all and lead them away!"
Darkness is ready to sacrifice herself for others.
...No way!
She just felt that being ravaged by a group of monsters was a very enjoyable sight, so she did this!
"Reject, reject!"
"Why!"
"There are so many monsters. No matter how strong you are, if you rush in with a half-empty mindset for the sake of having fun, your life will be in danger!"
"Mmmm, opportunities like this are rare..."
Darkness felt extremely regretful.
There were so many monsters that even Xiaolin found it difficult to deal with.
Even though Darkness' body was very strong, Kobayashi, who had played with her wantonly, guaranteed that she would not be able to withstand the ravages of the monsters.
How to do?
Xiaolin can destroy the group of monsters, but the smell of the few people is constantly emitting, and more and more monsters will gather. Returning to the town may cause a riot...
"Really? You guys really can't do that."
Aqua suddenly sighed, as if she felt helpless about the helplessness of the others. Her condescending look as if she was looking down on the whole situation was irritating.
Moreover, as the first person who is totally incompetent and the culprit who made everyone do the task, what qualifications do you have to say that?
Aqua raised her index finger and said, "So, all we have to do is remove the smell from our body, right?"
Huh?
If you say so...
Huihui asked anxiously, “That’s true, but how can we get rid of the smell in this situation?”
"Wouldn't it be fine if you just wash it clean?" Aqua looked stupid.
Darkness shouted, "Yeah, water is generated!"
“That amount of water won’t work.” Aqua waved her hand and said, “But there are quite a lot of monsters coming this way, and we need to remove the smell from everyone, so it’s time for the goddess of water, Aqua-sama, to make her appearance. Come on, let’s get started———”
"Wait, wait a minute, you have to stop!"
Xiaolin was a little flustered.
Even though Aqua doesn't usually destroy towns, when she gets angry, she does things that are even more excessive than Megumin. If you want to know why, it's because the stupid goddess produces the most water!
"Holy Water Creation!"
The divine power in Aqua's hand shot towards the sky, and soon dark clouds gathered, and then light rain fell from the sky.
Darkness was surprised. “Oh, so this will wash away the smell on my body.”
“As expected of Aqua!” Megumin also praised: “You don’t call yourself the Goddess of Water just to sound good!”
"I'm not calling myself that, I'm the real goddess of water!"
Aqua angrily corrected Huihui's mistake.
While they were washing their bodies for fun, Xiaolin was continuously destroying the attacking monsters.
"Hey guys, hurry up, please! The monsters are still coming!"
“Everyone, quickly get rid of the smell on your bodies,” Darkness said.
Huihui said, “I’m doing it… No, Aqua, can you add a little more water?”
"It's easy, just watch me!"
Aqua increased the amount of water.
“Wait, wait… there are too many! Too many!!!”
Water flowed down from the sky continuously, and in the blink of an eye, the four of them became drowned rats.
“Aqua, ahhhh——”
