Even if I transform, I will never be captured.

"So—Youyou, would you like to be my partner, my friend?"

"Waaaaahh ...

There was no answer, and Youyou burst into tears and threw herself into Satella's arms.

However, at this moment, this is already the best answer.

Sasha must be an angel!

At this moment, this must be what the Crimson Demon girl was thinking.

Chapter 71 A Slightly Tipsy Morning

"La~~la la la~~la la la la la~~"

It was the dead of winter, and the first snow had just fallen. Outside the window, large snowflakes drifted down, covering the earth in a blanket of white.

But the scene inside the window was quite different.

The stove fire burned brightly, and the fire-type magic crystal was fixed to the ceiling, illuminating the entire room and radiating warmth throughout the room through a special device, making it as warm as spring.

There are more than a dozen fire-type magic crystals like these in Satella's villa.

Such expenses are naturally quite large, but even in the capital, Satella's team would be considered wealthy, unlike some poor team that has to painstakingly collect firewood to keep warm in winter.

With one hand holding the pan and the other holding the spoon, she watched the eggs in the pan slowly turn golden brown as they fried in the oil. A smile played on her lips and her eyes crinkled as she happily hummed an unknown tune.

Two months have passed since I became partners with Sasha.

For the past two months, I've had friends with me every moment, and every day I feel like I'm enjoying a dreamlike happiness.

So what have I been doing all this time?

With a happy smile, Youyou drifted into her memories.

Every morning, I get up to cook dinner, and after that, I wake everyone who's still sleeping in. After everyone eats, we do quests together. We have lunch at the Adventurers' Guild. After finishing the quests, it's evening. When I get home, I immediately go to the kitchen to cook dinner. After dinner, I wash the dishes, and then I clean up. After cleaning, I'm often so tired that I just collapse and fall asleep...

Something feels... off...

Youyou's smile gradually faded.

The more I think about it, the more I feel like a servant!

It can't go on like this!

We're all partners, so housework should be shared equally!

Having made up her mind for what felt like the umpteenth time, Youyou finished preparing breakfast and stormed into the dining room with her tray, ready to speak...

"Wow! Youyou, your cooking skills have improved again! This candied ham is so delicious!"

"Really? Thank you for the compliment. I will definitely work harder in the future!"

Faced with Satella's praise, Youyou clenched her little fist with a happy smile and said excitedly. As for sharing the housework, she had long forgotten about it.

...How should I put it, it's kind of adorably silly.

Seeing Youyou like this, Satella's lips curled into a smile.

To be honest, it wasn't that Satella was deliberately trying to exploit Youyou. She still had a conscience. Seeing how busy Youyou was every day, she felt bad about it, so one day, she offered to help.

However, Youyou refused.

This is not surprising; it's just like parents taking care of their children.

When children are young, their parents always cook for them. One day, the children grow up, can cook for themselves, and no longer need their parents' help. Although parents are happy about their children's growth, many parents also feel that their children no longer need them. They often feel lost. Sometimes, asking them to help with something can actually make them happier.

Although Youyou and Satella are not mother and daughter, Youyou is a kind and generous person. She feels happy when she sees the people she likes eating the food she makes.

This is Youyou, a simple, adorably silly girl.

Of course, Youyou is also very smart. After spending time together, she has already discovered Satella's true nature.

When fighting monsters, they always shamelessly try to get the last hit.

After dinner, he immediately curls up on the sofa and plays with that magical gadget called a cell phone, never going out for a walk.

It's so tasteless to always resort to dirty tricks when playing board games!

She's a picky eater and hates broccoli the most... Even though it's a dish with high experience points, even if Youyou breaks the broccoli into pieces and puts it on her plate, she'll still pick it out and throw it away.

She changes her panties and stockings every day, and takes a bath every day, so she can be considered clean. However, if no one takes care of her, the panties and stockings she takes off can pile up until she has to wash them once a week... Speaking of which, when Youyou did her first big cleaning in the villa, she even found a pair of panties under the sofa.

……

This is a common occurrence in the interactions between Youyou and Satella.

Even though Sasha is like a lazy angel, Youyou still likes her very much.

Yes, no matter what Sasha becomes.

Youyou only knows that.

On the day the girl named Satella reached out her hand, this silver-haired girl was already her friend for life.

No matter what happens, this is the only thing that will never change.

"Elise, don't be picky about food, you should eat green peppers too!"

"You're the one who's 'big sister'! Don't think I didn't see you secretly putting broccoli in my bowl!"

"Let's finish our meal quickly and go out to do a mission together!"

The fire crackled and popped in the fireplace, and the warmth emanating from the fire-elemental magic crystal made the whole room cozy. The morning sunlight streamed in through the window, and in this pleasantly warm atmosphere, Satella and her small team finished their breakfast.

……

"It's been two months already..."

Satella breathed warm air onto her two gloved little hands and looked up at the snowflakes falling from the sky, sighing in amazement.

Satella has spent two months in the world of "Konosuba" from autumn to winter.

Many things have happened in the past two months.

First, there's her level. Satella went from level 8 two months ago to level 40 in one go.

Page 99

If this were a typical RPG online game, this leveling speed would be considered extremely slow.

However, in Konosuba, this leveling speed is quite astonishing.

It's important to know that in this world, level 30 is considered a high-level adventurer who can go to the front lines to fight against the Demon King's army, and level 40 is practically considered a mainstay in the fight against the Demon King's army.

For an ordinary adventurer to reach this level, it would take at least one or two years. For example, in the original work, Kazuma Sato only reached level 30 after nearly two years.

Satella was able to level up so quickly because she was familiar with the storyline.

Satella, who has watched the anime, knows that after a while, the Headless Horseman, a member of the Demon King's army, will appear in the abandoned castle outside the city with his subordinates to investigate the holy light that appeared nearby (Aqua falling from the sky).

So she had buried many scrolls sealed with the [Holy Exorcism] magic inside beforehand—these were made by Aqua and Whis at Satella's request.

Although Aqua is mentally challenged, she is still a true goddess. The [Holy Exorcism] she personally casts is incredibly powerful. Even though the Headless Horseman's armor has high holy resistance, it can't withstand several [Holy Exorcism] scrolls being unleashed at the same time.

Satella modified the magic scrolls so they would trigger upon impact, and hid them under the throne in the castle hall. Remembering the information that the Headless Horseman was a lecher, Satella also placed a pair of panties on top of them.

—Well, the panties were bought by Satella from Aqua for 10,000 Eris. They were original panties and had a certain exorcising effect because they were contaminated with holy water!

And so, one day, the residents of Axel suddenly discovered that countless dazzling lights were shining from the castle outside the city.

No one knew exactly what happened, except for Satella, who knew that on that day, her level jumped directly from 25 to 35.

Author's Note:

P.S. 1. Thanks to Rabbit Ball, MA Yuzu Tea, Funny Tree Under Funny Me, and Kongming's Black-rimmed Glasses for their razor blades and donations.

P.S. 2. Author Ji suddenly remembered that the book is going to be released tomorrow... Time flies so fast, but the plot hasn't unfolded at all. I have a feeling I'm doomed, and I'll be the next one to flop...

PS3. This chapter has been cut by more than a thousand words, but since I wrote it with great effort, it would be a shame to just delete it. So I will put it as a side story in the side story volume later. The side story is not considered an update.

Chapter 72: The Clash of Two Teams!

After that, it was the usual grind to level up. If there hadn't been so few monsters, Satella could have leveled up even faster!

Thinking about this, Satella felt a little angry.

—Although the power system of this world is like that of an RPG online game with leveling up, Konosuba is not a real online game after all. When a monster dies, it is really dead and will not respawn in a few minutes.

Therefore, in order to prevent the extinction of monsters, the excessive hunting of monsters is prohibited in the world of Konosuba.

So one day, when Satella was having a great time killing giant frogs, an adventurer's guild employee jumped out and warned her not to kill any more giant frogs, otherwise it would disrupt the ecological balance.
