I love time travel the most!

Just as she was about to ask that question, she saw Darkness fall from the sky and instantly kill the wild boar.

A scene that feels strangely familiar.

Youyou was dumbfounded.

Kobayashi said to her, "As you can see, Darkness's strength and defense are ridiculously high, so she is assigned to the front line in the squad."

"Most importantly, Darkness cannot attack the enemy."

Huihui seized the opportunity to deliver the final blow.

Youyou asked instinctively, "What do you mean by 'can't attack the enemy'?"

"laugh."

The little girl didn't explain, but instead gave a meaningful smile, which made Youyou extremely uneasy.

"Aqua, please treat Darkness."

"No problem, leave it to me!"

Aqua ran to the unconscious female knight and used healing magic.

Kobayashi said, "Aqua is a high-ranking professional high priestess, and her abilities are among the best even in Axel."

"Most importantly, Aqua always manages to cause trouble for no reason."

Huihui said something inexplicable again.

Youyou didn't want to ask, but she couldn't help but ask, "What do you mean by causing trouble for no reason?"

"laugh."

The little girl greeted them with a smile once again.

Just as Youyou was about to blame Huihui, thick smoke suddenly billowed from afar and the ground began to shake violently.

"this is……"

"It's a herd of wild boars."

Xiaolin's face looked rather grim.

Kazuma Sato voiced the question on everyone's mind: "Hey, what's going on here? Why are there wild boars appearing?"

"Oh no! I forgot I used my amplification magic! Darkness's taunt skill has been buffed and now it's specifically designed to attract boar herds!"

Aqua suddenly screamed.

"It really was you! Why do you always have to do these superfluous things?! Are you the type of person who'll die if you don't cause trouble?!"

"Huh?! How dare Kazuma talk to me like that! I was just trying to take care of the boar herd in one go and get back as soon as possible. It wasn't my fault!"

"This is completely unnecessary!!!"

Kazuma Sato's forehead veins bulged.

At this moment, Kobayashi said to the little girl beside him who was ready to go, "Megumin, it's up to you now. Use the Explosion Magic to your fullest extent."

"give it to me!"

Huihui's eyes gleamed with a scarlet light.

She became excited when she encountered the wild boar herd.

soon.

"—Explosion!"

A powerful burst of magic exploded among the wild boars, leaving a brown crater in the green grass, accompanied by the smell of burning meat.

“Megumi is a Grand Magus just like you, and Explosion Magic is her specialty. As for its power, I think you’ve already seen it, Yoyo.”

"oh oh……"

When Youyou saw Huihui lying motionless on the ground, she was speechless.

The little girl who fell down mocked herself, saying, "It's a pity I can only fire once; after that, I'll be at their mercy."

"Wait, what does 'being at someone's mercy' mean?"

"laugh."

Huihui's smile made Youyou feel very uncomfortable.

But like a chain reaction, when the explosive magic descended from the sky, the surrounding temperature rose rapidly. The giant toads hidden beneath the snow, mistaking it for spring, all emerged from the ground.

Giant toads of various colors—green, pink, blue—surrounded the team.

Upon seeing them, Aqua recalled terrible memories, her expression changed, and she tried to escape quickly, but was entangled by a sticky tongue and swallowed into its mouth in the blink of an eye.

"Miss Aqua?!"

Youyou screamed.

Sato Kazuma drew his short sword from his waist, saying fearfully, "N-This is bad... Kobayashi-senpai, this is really bad!"

A herd of wild boars running in the distance, surrounded by giant toads. Megumin lying on the ground, Darkness unconscious, and Aqua inside a monster's mouth.

The scene was extremely chaotic.

Youyou never expected that such a low-level task would turn out like this.

He turned his head and looked at Kobayashi.

But he showed no sign of panic, as if he had experienced this countless times before, his calm eyes revealing obvious weariness.

"Mr. Kobayashi?"

"Phew—there's nothing I can do."

Kobayashi sighed and said to the empty space beside him, "I'm leaving the rest to you, Ryuu."

"Yes, Master Xiaolin."

Suddenly, a girl's clear voice came from the surroundings.

Then, in just one second.

Whether it was the charging wild boar herd or the giant toads surrounding them, they were instantly split in two, followed by the pungent smell of blood that made people frown.

Meanwhile, among the remains of monsters, there was a beautiful young girl.

"She is Liu Zi, my attendant. So, Youyou, are you satisfied with this team?"

"Aha……"

To be honest, Youyou is already having second thoughts.

What on earth happened?!

This squad is so weird!

Chapter 272 Goodbye to Sena, the Demon at Work

What a mess!

It was just a very basic mission, yet it took so much effort to complete, and they almost suffered total annihilation. If it weren't for Liu Zi's heroic efforts...

Kazuma Sato shuddered, covered his face with his hands, and said embarrassedly, "Senior Kobayashi, why don't we let Yu-Yu go? That child doesn't deserve this."

Youyou is an exceptionally talented person.

She knows intermediate and advanced magic, and is a highly intelligent Crimson Demon. She's kind, gentle, and considerate. If she could work on her shy and socially awkward personality, she would definitely become the center of attention.

On the other hand, Aqua and her friends are complete problem children; it would be a waste to have them in their team.

Originally, he only wanted to annoy that chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) little girl. But after this mission, Kazuma Sato had to admit that he had softened.

I just couldn't bear to see Youyou being tortured.

“Sato-kun, I’m so glad you still have some conscience, but…” Kobayashi patted his shoulder and said with a helpless and sorrowful expression, “I also have my reasons for having to let Yu-Yu join.”

Just as Kazuma Sato had feared.

There are just too many problem children in the team; they really need a normal person to balance things out. I can imagine how hard it will be for Youyou, but to avoid being too stressed in the future, I'll have to put up with it for now.

I must make it up to Youyou properly in the future!

call----

"There's nothing we can do; that's what Senior Kobayashi said."

Kazuma Sato sighed helplessly.

As the second commander in Kobayashi's absence, he understood best the troublesome nature of the team's problem children; otherwise, he wouldn't have said a couple of days ago that he would never do missions with them.

If Youyou were here, he would be much more relaxed after Xiaolin left.

Glug~~~~

"Ah, I'm hungry." Kazuma Sato clutched his stomach, looking uncomfortable. "I just realized I haven't eaten all day, and my stomach is starting to reflux."

"There's nothing we can do, after all, Huihui caused quite a scene this morning."

Xiaolin smiled.

Thinking back to how upset the little girl was this morning, my mood improved considerably.

At this moment, Kazuma Sato suggested, "Senior Kobayashi, why don't you grab something to eat before you go back after handing over the mission?"

"Alright."

He nodded in agreement.

The monsters' repeated rampages put the team in grave danger. After frantically driving away all the monsters, Aqua and the others were exhausted and kept saying they wanted to go back and rest as soon as possible.

Kobayashi and Sato Kazuma, two people who hadn't been put to use, were asked to deliver the mission.

Arrive at the Adventurers' Guild.

Just as I reached the counter and was handing over the task, a slightly serious voice came from behind me.

"Oh my, Mr. Kazuma and Mr. Kobayashi?"

"Uh, Miss Sena?!"
