Chapter 45: Chris and Darkness

"Today's task was over fulfilled."

At the restaurant within the guild, Sato Hikaru looked at the surrounding teammates, and raised the alcohol in his hand.

"For the first perfectly completed team task, cheers!"

…

However, the rest did not show the least bit of intention in responding to him, every single one of them had their head down and ate dinner.

"You guys…can't you show a bit of understanding?"

"Ha?"

When Megumin, who was having her dinner, heard him, she raised her head and glared at Sato Hikaru: "Then let's go and find a giant frog again tomorrow, then you should also show some understanding and be swallowed by the giant frog, okay?"

"Ahem…what the, for that kind of thing, there is no need to pursue understanding for that kind of thing."

Coughing slightly, Sato Hikaru, who was prepared, explained very calmly: "We should leave someone outside to rescue all of you, right?"

"It's okay, tomorrow we can let Yunyun stay outside."

"You…must you do it like this?"

Sato Hikaru never thought that for him to enter a giant frog's mouth, Megumin would make such a big sacrifice.

Quickly lowering his raised hand: "Nevermind, today's money from the giant frogs will be shared among you guys, I won't take a share."

"Ok! I forgive you."

"Yay! Waitress, two more beers, please!"

Seeing Megumin and Aqua, whose expressions immediately changed, Sato Hikaru just laughed and did not say anything.

Frankly speaking, one corpse of a giant frog was only 5,000 eris. Although there was an extra reward other than the bounty, for Sato Hikaru, who was about to obtain 160 million, this little bit of money was not enough to enter his sight.

Speaking of Host's bounty, Sato Hikaru once again remembered the multi-headed water snake again and asked Yunyun about it.

"Yunyun, both of you arrived in Axel earlier than me, have you heard of the multi-headed water snake that was hibernating near Axel?"

"Multi-headed water snake?"

Yunyun, who was eating her meal in a small bite, blinked her eyes when she heard the question: "I seemed to have heard about it from other people's chat in the guild, but I'm not sure of the specific, Megumin, have you heard about it?"

"I only heard a bit about it, why do you ask this question?"

Megumin, who was holding a beer in her hand, wanting to taste it, heard the question and curiously asked Sato Hikaru: "Are you planning to subjugate that guy?"

"I do have such thoughts, although right now I am still in the stage of collecting information."

"I advise you not to think about that, that thing is very dangerous."

Outside of Sato Hikaru's expectation, Megumin, whose favorite hobby was to bomb huge guys, actually rejected seriously.

"Even if I could accurately hit it with my explosion magic, at most I would be able to destroy one head, and all I can do next is to wait for death."

"You don't have to be so afraid, right? You should have seen the power of my explosive magic, right?"

Recalling yesterday's scene, that most astonishing explosion magic that she had seen, Megumin thought for a while then hesitatingly said.

"If it was just like that, would it not be too forced? When I previously went to complete a task with other people, I saw that guy from afar."

"Its body is extremely huge, and can use magic. If you want to defeat it in one hit using your explosion magic, it would still not be easy, unless…"

After seemingly calculating something, Megumin gave her final reply: "If there is someone who can help you occupy more than half of its heads, then it might be possible."

"In the end, we still need to find a strong guardian profession, right?"

Drinking a mouthful of beer, Sato Hikaru gave his suggestion: "What do you think of Chris and Darkness that we met today? What do you think of inviting them into our team?"

"What what? Little brother Sato, did you call me?"

"Hm?"

Hearing the voice, Sato Hikaru turned his head, and saw Chris and Darkness approaching. He immediately raised his hand and greeted: "Yes, we just talked about you guys."

"Oho?"

Chris raised her eyebrows, and teased with a wicked smile: "Was the discussion about how to add us into your little team of harem?"

"Indeed, will you join?"

"Eh? Eh!?"

Chris, who was originally just joking around, never thought that Sato Hikaru would actually admit it.

She was so surprised that she blushed, and stepped backwards in panic: "That…I still."

"Ha…ha…"

The panicking Chris heard a heavily panting sound from Darkness, who was behind her, her face stiffened, thinking to herself that it's over.

Turning her head, she really saw Darkness looking at Sato Hikaru with a face full of excitement: "Wha, what a brute! Not only did he use his teammates as a lure to bait monsters' attention, he even openly declared his harem. If I joined his team, he would definitely use his status as the team leader to threaten and force me to do this and that, and other kinds of humiliating things, right?"

"Hey, Darkness!"

Seeing that Darkness was about to be lost in her daydreams, Chris quickly held her shoulder and shook: "That kind of thing just think about it yourself, don't really try it out!"
