You call this magic?

The most basic magic power consumption is quite astonishing for ordinary people, but it is not enough for Ethan.

So, he used a little more magic power, about as much as four Huihui.

The magnificent scene made him feel ashamed. It was like being hit by a meteorite, leaving behind a huge crater. There were almost no living creatures around, only a dozen giant frogs.

Ethan couldn't imagine how exaggerated the power of this thing would become if he put all his magic power into it.

He probably wouldn't try it anyway.

This magic should be his strongest offensive magic so far. If it is compressed and used as the material for dark magic, no one Ethan has seen so far should be able to stop him.

However, he has not seen Celia's full power form yet, so let's exclude Celia for the time being.

"it is good--"

"Li——"

"Harmful--"

The three of them let out sharp explosions in unison, especially Huihui, who was lying on the ground. Her pupils trembled and she asked a soul-searching question.

"Are you, are you the older sister disguised as a man?"

"huh?"

"huh?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Ethan was a little amused and walked towards the place he had destroyed with his wand.

What was originally a green grassland has now turned into a burning sea of ​​fire. This is a bit unethical. Experimenting with explosive magic does not mean that he has to destroy the environment.

Let’s do it.

Ethan picked up his wand and shook it gently.

【Restored to its original state】.

The sand and gravel that were blown into the ground and air around began to fly back as if time was flowing backwards, and the holes created by the explosion were filled up in a very short time.

However, this magic cannot restore the killed plants, and the re-leveled land will still be bare.

Now, even the water goddess Aqua began to have their pupils tremble. What kind of miracle is this?

That’s not right. I am a goddess. Why can’t I do this?

Ethan ignored their thoughts and continued waving his wand.

[Magic that makes a flower field bloom].

The three of them could not find words to describe the shock they felt today, especially at the end, when Ethan turned his back to them and waved the wand in his hand like a conductor. The ground that had become a wasteland quickly broke open with the dancing of the wand, and colorful flowers bloomed. In a very short time, a dreamlike garden appeared before their eyes.

Even Aqua and Huihui, who have weird personalities, didn't know how to react. No woman could withstand such a scene.

"Okay, let's go."

The instigator of this incident turned around easily and lifted Megumin up with a [Levitation Magic]. “Kazuma, I’ll teach you this magic later. When this guy’s magic power is exhausted, you can carry her back like this.”

When Kazuma heard about this good thing, he immediately nodded hurriedly.

"Okay, boss. Got it, boss! From now on, I'll do whatever you say!"

To be honest, this floating magic, which is similar to telekinesis, is Kazuma's most intuitive understanding of the word magic.

Huihui's body couldn't move, but her head could. She turned her head and looked at Ethan curiously, and couldn't help but say, "Mr. Ethan, no, Boss Ethan."

From the tone, one can tell that he is sincere in calling him "boss".

"what?"

"You're really not a big sister in disguise—Ahhh!"

Ethan gave her a slap on the head: "You're so young and you're always thinking about dressing up as a man. I'm a real man."

“I think so…” Huihui didn’t react much, just felt a little disappointed.

"So, why do you say that about the boss?" Kazuma came closer curiously. "Is it because the boss can also use explosion magic?"

“…” Huihui was silent for a moment, then turned away. “I, I’m just here to look for someone.”

"Who is it?" Kazuma's curiosity was completely aroused.

"Kazuma, if you want to find out about the girl's past, you should first increase your favorability!" Aqua jumped out and poked Kazuma's nose.

“Huh??” Kazuma was completely rude to Aqua, “Is it your turn to remind me now? Besides, I’m not interested in the affections of a chuunibyou loli!”

"Who are you calling a chuunibyou loli, you useless NEET!" Huihui, who was sad just now, suddenly became furious and forced herself to dance and curse.

"Aqua, did you teach her secretly on the way here just now?!" Kazuma turned his gaze directly to Aqua.

"Well, isn't it?"

"It's not you, why are you hiding? Come back here, don't run away!!"

These guys really don't mind the trouble when they make a fuss, but it feels pretty good.

As for the fact that the nearby garden later became a tourist attraction, that is a story for another time.

Volume 4: Konosuba: God's Blessing on This Wonderful World! Chapter 12: Changes in the Demon King's Castle

The day after Huihui successfully became Ethan's fan girl, Chris, who was thought to be seen again for a long time, showed up again.

"you are?"

"Mr. Ethan, being mean is not the best way to treat girls!" Chris puffed up her cheeks, making Ethan even hallucinate the little Philen.

The chest is a bit flat.

"No, I'm not asking you, but the one who has been peeping from behind since a while ago." Ethan pointed not far behind Chris, pretending nothing had happened, and kept secretly looking at the blonde beauty next to him.

Although he had a rough guess as to who she was, Ethan still wouldn't say it directly.

Chris jumped up from her seat, held Ethan's hand in hers, and pleaded in her eyes: "Ethan, this is the request of my life, can you please let my friend join your team?"

"Is your 'life' a little heavy?"

Are you a band girl? Words like this come to mind easily throughout my life.

"That's not important!" Chris clenched her fists even tighter. "Anyway, lah... no, Darkness is a formidable Crusader, absolutely qualified to serve as a vanguard! I guarantee there's no Crusader in the entire Ancient Kingdom of Belzer who can withstand more injuries than her!"

That’s true, if it’s Darkness.

For others, bearing injuries is painful, but for this guy, bearing injuries is comfortable. How can they be the same thing?

It's true that a pain-loving masochist is more suitable to be a vanguard, but the prerequisite is that the body must be strong enough.

Darkness fits this bill perfectly.

"Okay, let her come over."

Ethan didn't ask any further questions. After all, he had no intention of letting Darkness go, and it would be impolite to ask any more questions.

Chris smiled happily, she was indeed a goddess. Although the phrase "a charming smile" was not quite appropriate here, it was the closest to Ethan's current opinion of Chris.

It’s just the breasts… It’s almost a joke, but using too many of them equals to wasting words.

"Hello." To Ethan's surprise, after Darkness sat down, she showed the temperament of a true female knight.

Calm, heroic and beautiful.

Is this person really the Darkness?

Let's give it a try.

"Because you're Chris's friend, I have to say something serious." Ethan said with a scrutinizing look, "Our team is basically a worthless, trash team."

At this moment, Ethan noticed that the girl in front of him seemed to tremble.

"The other person and I are the weakest class [Adventurer]."

She began to clamp her legs together subconsciously.

"A [Archmage] who can only cast magic once a day."

Her breathing began to quicken.

"There's also a priest who has no combat ability at all. He's clearly a support but he loves to rush forward and get beaten up by monsters."

With a "bang", she pressed her hands on the table, lowered her head, and gasped for breath. Love seemed to appear in her eyes: "No, it's okay, this is exactly what I want... No, it's just suitable for a newcomer like me!"

Okay, it’s confirmed, this is the Darkness.

Chris's smile next to her gradually turned pale, and it was obvious that she was thinking in another direction.

Normally, if they met a weirdo like this, no one would want her to join the team. After all, fighting is no joke. If someone with a habit like Darkness were really thrown into the world of Goblin Slayer... the consequences would be something she couldn't accept.

After all, talking big is one thing, but being treated cruelly is another.

"Although it's a little difficult and hard to say, I'm very confident in my arm strength and endurance, but my hands and feet are not very flexible... so... my attacks can't hit the enemy at all..." After she finished hesitantly, she immediately stood up and grabbed Ethan's hands like Chris before, "So, so, so if you encounter danger, just leave me behind and run away. I, I... ha... will definitely... ha... hold off those monsters that will ravage me into a rag!"

Chris covered her face and slumped on the table in despair.

It's over now.

Darkness is very beautiful, a beauty that even Ethan recognizes. That’s just her personality... She can sit at the same table with Aqua.

There were five people in the team, three of them were beauties, but none of them excited him.

On the contrary, Chris and the lich Wiz in front of him were the ones who made him feel a polite favor towards them.

"Well, okay, our team is indeed lacking a front row right now." To Chris's surprise, Ethan still agreed to Darkness's application to join the team. It was just that he felt that he said some unnecessary words, which made Darkness excited from just now.

“Excellent!” Darkness patted her hard breastplate. “Don’t worry, I will definitely attract the attention of all the monsters. No, I won’t let them harm my teammates in the back row!”

Chris looked at Ethan suspiciously, and suddenly thought of the teammate Ethan wanted to find.

Judging from the current composition of Ethan's team, could Philen and Yubel also be such weirdos?

At the same time, in the Demon King's Castle.

"Ah!"

In a women's bathhouse...or rather, a hot spring, two women were soaking in the bathtub, and one of them let out a seductive sigh.

One of the eight cadres of the Demonic Army, Wobak, a sexy big sister with short hair.

Around the hot spring, a magical barrier that blocks vision completely isolates the inner and outer worlds. Unless the barrier is destroyed, it is impossible to see through it.

Even the Demon King can't do that; after all, this is magic from another world.

"Come in quickly, don't catch a cold." Wobak called out to another girl who looked no more than twenty years old, but had a figure that even she was a little jealous of.

"Okay." The girl walked quietly into the bathtub and sighed with satisfaction.

"Thank you. If it weren't for your magic barrier, those guys would have come to peek. Now I can finally take a bath in peace." Wobak stretched, feeling a little emotional.

"If anyone tries to peek, I will turn them into ashes." The girl said the scary words with an expressionless face.

"Haha, I believe you." Wobak smiled at the purple-haired girl in front of him, "But, do you really not remember where you came from?"

"...I'm looking for someone." The girl whispered, "I remember his face and his voice, but I don't remember his name, and I don't know where he is. How can I find him?"

"Other than that, you don't remember anything...really?" Wolbach sighed. "Don't worry, as long as that person is in this world, I'll help you. It just so happens that the Demon King recently discovered a divine power appearing in a small city, so he sent Beldia over to take a look. I've already informed him, and asked him to help find out."

"Thank you, Sister Wobak." The girl greeted her with a smile.

"You're welcome." Wobak submerged himself in the pool up to his neck. "I should thank you, my lovely little Philen, for letting me bathe peacefully in the Demon King's Castle."

Volume 4: Konosuba: God's Blessing on This Wonderful World! Chapter 13: The Lucky Color Incident at Wiz's Shop (Refresh on the top right)

After Darkness joined the team, Ethan was very satisfied with it. As expected, this team still had to consist of these few people. Even though he was an off-field element, it didn't matter. These people could do whatever they wanted under any circumstances. Coupled with the guaranteed mechanism of Aqua's resurrection magic, he didn't have to worry about them getting into trouble.

As long as Aqua's life is saved, the others can do whatever they want, and Ethan doesn't have to rack his brains to think about how to let the plot unfold during this period.

Axel is a very magical place, with a lot of monsters. With the addition of the Kazuma Four, it is like a Stand user with its own gravity. All kinds of foreign monsters will inexplicably gather in this city.

So Ethan already understood very clearly that as long as he stayed with these people, the people he wanted to find and those who wanted to find him would come here sooner or later, and he just needed to wait quietly.

After all, the guidance of the goddess's stele will always bring him benefits, and he just needs to believe it at this time.

"This is cheating, cheating! I absolutely cannot accept this!!"

In the Adventurer's Guild, early in the morning, Aqua and Kazuma got into a fight, her pretty face filled with tears and resentment. "Why can you learn magic without points?!"

"Humph."
