Chapter 40: Task, Recruit, etc.

"Hey, Sato! Let's take this task for today."

Although after last night, Sato Hikaru became slightly skinny. Megumin was also not the type to break her own promise over some harmless joke. So, in the end, Megumin was also successfully invited into the team.

However, it was not known whether it was because she resented the fact that last night she did not get a share of the bounty. Early in the morning today, Megumin loudly knocked on the door and woke up all three of them. They did not even have the time to have breakfast and were dragged towards the guild.

Then…

"Say, for a newly established team like us, isn't it better to pick up easier tasks for us to adapt to each other?"

Seeing the task [subjugate an attack bear] that Megumin slapped onto the table, Sato Hikaru sighed helplessly: "Are you looking for trouble by directly choosing the task to subjugate an attack bear?"

"What? Get used to each other? That kind of thing is not needed."

Waving her hand, Megumin said matter-of-factly: "According to our team's configuration, to deal with an attack bear is…"

"But I want to try how it feels to be an archer, so there is no close combatant today."

"Is…is not impossible to change to another."

The moment she heard that Sato Hikaru, the only one in the team who could fight in close combat, suddenly wanted to change to long-range combatant, Megumin immediately grabbed the bounty and ran back to change the task.

"Mr. Sato, were you telling the truth just now?"

"Which one do you mean?"

"That you want to try to become an archer today…"

Sato Hikaru simply nodded his head when he heard the question.

Seeing this, Yunyun tactfully reminded: "But if there is no close combatant, there won't be many tasks that can be done."

"Hm…if you put it that way, it is also true."

Thinking of a certain M Onee-san, Sato Hikaru clapped his hand and said: "It's decided, let's put up another notice for recruiting teammates!"

"Huh?"

Yunyun, who had social insecurity, was surprised when she heard it and looked at Sato Hikaru: "Re, recruit a close combatant?"

"Not limited to close combat."

Sato Hikaru explained while shaking his finger: "One day, we would also explore a labyrinth or underground dungeon and other places, so we would also need a thief who would be able to scout ahead."

"Oh! Then leave the matter of making the recruitment poster to me!"

When Aqua, who was by the side, heard this, she immediately patted her chest that caused it to balloon.

"With this goddess here, there are definitely numerous pious believers who would fight to enter the team."

"You, wait a minute, I have not mentioned the specific requirements…"

Before Sato Hikaru could reply, Aqua had already run in a hurry towards the reception table to look for paper and pen.

"Nevermind, just let her play around, if it is not enough, we can just add some more."

Furthermore, it was because of Aqua's comedic recruitment poster that successfully recruited a certain blonde knight, let her try, perhaps it would be effective.

Not mentioning his true reason, Sato Hikaru turned his head towards Yunyun: "Yunyun, what about you? Do you have any requirements for teammate recruitment?"

"Me? I just hope that the person is easy to get along with."

"Your requirement is truly simple."

This kind of reply was as expected of Yunyun, in the end, it was not outside Sato Hikaru's expectations.

As for the certain predetermined M blond, although a bit strange, but overall could be considered a good person, so it was not a big problem…

Wait a minute!

Speaking of the certain M, Sato Hikaru suddenly recalled something.

That person seemed to still be teaming up with Chris, the incarnation of Eris.

And in the original work, for Sato Kazuma's team to be able to recruit that young lady, was because after returning from completing some tasks, Aqua and Megumin who was fully soaked in Giant frog's saliva, looked like they were doing some strange 'Play', only then did he managed to hook a certain pervert.

But, right now!

In his team of four, there were two who were dependable, under this level of dependability had reached 50%, even if he took the task on giant frog, and chose to not act and just watch by the side, Yunyun would not just stand aside and see Aqua and Megumin being swallowed.

"Under this kind of situation, is it really possible to hook that pervert?"

Just as Sato Hikaru was thinking of how to hook a certain blonde pervert, Megumin returned while bringing with her several tasks and slapped them on the table.

"Take a look, what do you think of these tasks!"

"Frankly speaking, I am not too optimistic…"

Although that's what he said, Sato Hikaru still looked at the tasks on the table.

[Subjugate adaman snail and wild boar invading the farmland]

"Due to invasion by adaman snails and wild boar, farms can not be cultivated, huh? The risk is not high, it is indeed suitable for a small team to get used to each other…"

Looking at this task with some surprise, Sato Hikaru gave a thumbs up at Megumin: "Megumin, never thought that you know how to choose!"

"Of course, under this crimson demon eye of mine, all fate has been revealed"

"Ahem…" Seeing Megumin whose chuuni had activated, Sato Hikaru hurriedly stopped her: "However, this task could not be done."

"Are you looking for trouble!"

Megumin, who exploded in anger, immediately grabbed Sato Hikaru's collar, a pair of crimson eyes stared at him: "Didn't you say that it was suitable, why did it suddenly become not possible!"

"I'm not looking for trouble."

Ignoring Megumin's little hand, Sato Hikaru took the task and pointed at the wild boar: "If it was only adaman snail that was not fast with low attack power, and only had higher defense, it was still fine."

"But in this task, we might encounter a wild boar. What would we do if we, who had no close combatant, suddenly meet a wild boar?"

"Of course, we use the invincible explosion, ouch it hurts"

Sato Hikaru was speechless as he casually gave Megumin a smack.

"Did you forget where this task is? Releasing an explosion magic in farmland, are you trying to recover the farmland or destroy it?"
