Crossover Anime: Starting from Jobless Reincarnation

Page 290

Aqua turned to the side, a look of doubt flashing across her delicate face. Aqua had a good figure; Kazuma Sato could even see the whiteness of her chest through Aqua's slightly thin nightgown.

Even knowing what kind of person the guy in front of her really was, Kazuma's face still flushed slightly. However, that slight blush was completely destroyed by Aqua's next sentence.

“Isn’t there still the option of becoming a salesperson? There are actually many low-level jobs available, so it’s not like you’re guaranteed to starve!” Aqua said.

Sato Kazuma stared blankly at the goddess with clear eyes, and for the first time, he felt a sense of despair.

"Tomorrow, become an adventurer. Enough talk. Are you planning to stay in this world until the Demon King dies of old age?"

The goddess before me exudes a kind of innocent naiveté. Looking into the girl's clear eyes, those azure eyes, her flawless face, and her flowing azure hair, I could see a captivating beauty.

Each of these things, taken individually, could inspire genuine praise. However, when combined and brought together to form a goddess named Aqua, those beautiful and praiseworthy qualities instantly become worthless.

Kazuma Sato, an otaku, was sleeping with a beautiful girl for the first time, but he really couldn't get excited at all.

Kazuma Sato turned around, his back to Aqua, closed his eyes without any hesitation, and fell asleep as soon as he closed his eyes, smelling the faint scent of horse manure coming from the stable.

Seeing that Kazuma Sato wasn't interested in chatting, Aqua yawned, shifted to a more comfortable position, and immediately fell asleep.

The next day, the two arrived at the guild. They each had 300,000 Eris in their pockets, and a total of 600,000 Eris, which was barely enough for a while.

According to Kazuma Sato's plan, he will recruit members for the guild today.

There weren't many people in the guild in the morning. Sato Kazuma and Aqua had arrived at the guild early. Luna, who was standing by the counter, looked a little listless and didn't seem to be in a particularly good mood. Perhaps it was because she had gotten up very early. In any case, the girl looked a little lazy.

The guild was deserted. After all, it was early morning, and logically speaking, the guild should have just opened, so there shouldn't be any adventurers coming at this hour.

This was the usual routine, but today was a little different. Luna found a chair, sat down, and was about to take a nap when she saw Kazuma Sato and Aqua walking towards her.

Luna was slightly taken aback. Her professional ethics as a counter clerk forced her to shake off her fatigue. A faint smile appeared on the girl's lips as she greeted the two men, "Welcome, adventurers. Is there anything I can help you with today?"

Faced with such a cute girl as Luna, Kazuma Sato's cheeks flushed unconsciously. The boy's gaze unconsciously fell on Luna's chest, and then, as if electrocuted, he abruptly looked away.

A naive young man is like this: he has the desire to steal, but not the courage.

Luna pursed her lips slightly, finding the boy in front of her particularly interesting; his youthful appearance made him seem especially adorable.

Kazuma Sato waved his hand somewhat awkwardly and quickly explained, "We came to the guild this time to recruit a few adventurers so that we can go out on missions together."

Luna smiled and nodded slightly, saying, "Is that so? It seems Mr. Kazuma is already planning to become an adventurer?"

Kazuma Sato was taken aback for a moment, then said excitedly, "You know me?"

Compared to Kazuma Sato's slightly excited appearance, Luna asked with some doubt, "Didn't I register you the day before yesterday? How could I not recognize you?"

Kazuma Sato scratched the back of his head, somewhat embarrassed, and said, "I thought you would definitely overlook an ordinary person like me, but I didn't expect you to remember my name so well."

Luna smiled and casually said, "Ordinary people? This town is just an ordinary town, nothing special. Everyone is an ordinary person, there's no need to feel inferior because you're ordinary."

"Luna, you are so wonderful." Sato Kazuma was in tears, reaching out to tightly grasp Luna's hand. Luna was startled by Sato Kazuma's sudden action and subconsciously tried to pull her hand away, but the boy held on so tightly that she couldn't pull it back for a moment.

"Forehead"

Just as Luna was caught in a dilemma, Aqua patted Kazuma Sato on the head and said with a helpless expression, "Kazuma, can you stop being so embarrassing? Seriously, a NEET is a NEET."

Upon hearing Aqua's words, Kazuma Sato's initial感动 (moved/touched) vanished instantly. He glared at Aqua and said, "Mind your own business."

While Kazuma Sato was talking to Aqua, Luna quickly withdrew her hand, pointed to the chair next to her and said, "You can rest over there for a while, or you can go to the bounty board and write down your needs on a piece of paper and post them. That way, more adventurers will notice you."

"Oh, I understand." Kazuma Sato nodded quickly, indicating that he understood.

Because he had some free time, Kazuma Sato took out a pen and wrote a few lines of information about recruiting teammates. Then, he and Aqua discussed it for a while, and finally Kazuma Sato settled on the somewhat simple conditions. Kazuma Sato then put the paper on the bounty board.

The requirements on this paper are very simple, and it details the composition of Sato Kazuma's squad.

Although Kazuma Sato himself is too mediocre and has basically nothing to offer, the presence of Aqua, the high priestess, at least makes the team seem very attractive on the surface.

This town is like this: there are hardly any strong people. The presence of a high priest of a superior profession is enough to attract many people to join.

Kazuma Sato thought so. Because Aqua was there, and Kazuma Sato himself wanted to do something big, his requirements naturally became somewhat demanding. Although he didn't reject anyone who wasn't a high-level professional, ordinary adventurers really couldn't join Kazuma Sato's team.

However, the consequence of Sato Kazuma's actions was that by noon, no one was willing to join Sato Kazuma's team.

The two of them just sat there like that for the whole morning.

From being deserted in the morning to now being packed with people, but unfortunately, not a single person has come to ask Kazuma Sato about it.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. Although Aqua is a high priestess, both Kazuma Sato and Aqua are relatively low-ranking and are new adventurers. As newcomers, they are bound to have some immature aspects, which means that they are both novices. Naturally, no one would be willing to take on two burdens.

New recruits aren't wanted, and adventurers of similar levels don't value Sato Kazuma's team. Moreover, the town is quite peaceful, and the number of casualties throughout the year is probably not that high. Under these circumstances, naturally not many people would come to recruit new teammates.

Unless the other party is also a newcomer, and that newcomer must meet Sato Kazuma's requirements, such conditions naturally become very demanding.

The two sat there silently. Some busybodies came over and asked a few questions, then shook their heads and left.

For a moment, the air around Kazuma Sato and Aqua fell silent again.

Aqua couldn't take it anymore and said to Kazuma Sato, "Hey, Kazuma, how about we lower our demands a little?"

Sato Kazuma rested his chin on his right hand, looking quite bored. After thinking for a moment, Sato Kazuma agreed with Aqua's opinion and revised the above requirements.

However, after waiting for a while, no one was willing to come.

Now both of them were getting restless.

But at that moment, a slightly childish female voice came from the doorway.

"I am Megumin, the foremost mage of the Crimson Demon Clan! Does any of you wish to become my companion?"

The sound was loud, and everyone stopped what they were doing. They looked towards the door and saw a girl dressed in a rather strange way.

This was a girl of about fifteen or sixteen years old, wearing a black cloak, a black robe, black boots, carrying a staff, and even wearing a pointed hat. She was dressed like a typical magician, and as she walked in, the cloak behind her robe swayed in the breeze.

Kazuma Sato wasn't far from the entrance, so he naturally saw the girl who was dressed and looked very strange.

Kazuma Sato subconsciously narrowed his eyes, his expression becoming somewhat strange.

The girl's attire was quite bizarre. She had a decoration resembling an eye patch tied around her right eye. At first glance, he didn't look closely and thought she was wearing white over-the-knee socks. But when the girl strode into the living room, he realized that it wasn't a white over-the-knee sock at all; it was simply a bandage wrapped around her leg.

Kazuma Sato instinctively sensed something was wrong, but when he heard the other person introduce themselves, he paused for a moment, then a slightly delighted expression appeared on his face.

Kazuma Sato nudged the drowsy Aqua and whispered to her, "That guy looks pretty good. He's a high-level professional mage, and he's even a Crimson Demon. His strength shouldn't be too bad. What do you think?"

The Crimson Demon race is born with high intelligence and strong magical power, and most of them have the potential to become expert-level mages. The distinctive features of the Crimson Demon race include their red eyes, the origin of their name… and the fact that everyone's name is quite unusual.

The Crimson Demon Clan is the most prestigious magic family in the world, and most of the powerful magicians come from this clan.

Of course, for some other reasons, the reputation of the Crimson Demon Clan is not particularly good.

"Huh?" Aqua rubbed her eyes and nodded somewhat blankly.

However, in reality, everyone's movements only paused for a moment, and when they saw that it was Huihui, they completely ignored her.

Everyone continued doing what they were doing, their expressions unchanged.

The Crimson Demon girl seemed quite used to this scene and didn't pay much attention to it. She swaggered up to the bounty board, scanned it from top to bottom, and finally fixed her gaze on the paper recruiting teams.

The girl glanced at it a few times, seemingly somewhat tempted, and asked some questions to the adventurers around her. One of the adventurers casually pointed to the spot where Kazuma Sato and Aqua were.

The girl nodded and walked straight toward where the two were.

With no adventurers coming for so long, and just when it seemed that one was about to take the bait, Kazuma Sato involuntarily straightened his body and his expression became serious.

Seeing that Aqua was still confused, Kazuma Sato couldn't help but give her a push. Aqua stumbled and almost fell to the ground. After regaining her balance, Aqua was about to say a few words to Kazuma Sato when she saw the Crimson Demon girl walking in this direction. Aqua paused, coughed lightly, and adopted the dignified demeanor she used to have when receiving transmigrators.

Blessed by holy light, a gentle aura emanated from within Aqua, who maintained a dignified demeanor and wore an expression of sacred inviolability.

Kazuma Sato rolled his eyes. Aqua's act could only fool strangers she met for the first time. If you stayed long enough, you could see through her sinister intentions at a glance.

Adjustment instructions

Recently, many readers have given feedback that the book is too superficial, and after thinking about it, I agree.

However, it's normal for things to be a little watery, but since everyone's saying that, then there must be something wrong with me.

So, I'm taking a day off tomorrow to sort out the plot.

Writing crossover anime stories has never been particularly easy, because you have to read the original works. But each anime's original work is at least a million words long, and the anime only updates a part of the novel, sometimes less than a third of it. This forces authors to read the original works.

The problem is that it's already mid-June, and the author is determined to take the exam, plus there will be two weeks of field measurements afterwards (yes, the author is a civil engineer), so time is actually quite limited.

As for this book, well, I'll try my best to finish the ending. As for where it will end, at the very least, I'll definitely finish writing the Mushoku Tensei arc.

By then, it must have already reached several hundred thousand words, right?

Hehe, I've been writing this book for half a year, and it's almost finished.

Chapter 307 A Terrible Team

However, it would be best if Aqua didn't cause any trouble at this time.

Kazuma Sato cleared his throat, pondering how to continue his conversation with the other person.

Just as Kazuma Sato was pondering, footsteps stopped right behind him. Kazuma Sato turned around and saw a short girl who was only about 1.6 meters tall.

Her attire was still eccentric; if I had to describe it, it was the kind of chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) I remembered from my past life.

The Crimson Demon girl spoke first: "I saw the notice recruiting adventurers, are you the ones?"

Kazuma Sato nodded subconsciously, and then the strange girl in front of him continued, "I am Megumin! My profession is a Grand Mage, and I use the strongest offensive magic, Explosion Magic...!"

Upon hearing this, Kazuma Sato raised an eyebrow, confirming his suspicion that Sato was indeed a chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) sufferer.
