Kazuma Sato, 17 years old.
Thinking about it carefully, it has been almost a year since he came to this world from the island country.
He really likes this world named Suqing.
Especially in the succubus shop in Axel Novice Village, the high-quality waiters made him linger even more, and because of this, he established a deep friendship with those "strong men" who always met in the succubus shop.
Ah, one more thing.
You may not believe it, but he is now the acting city lord.
Yes, you read that right.
He has indeed changed from an ordinary adventurer to an acting city lord.
Because Axel's city lord and part-time team leader Zhou Fang was absent, he had no choice but to temporarily take over the position of lord.
Do you think that would make him happy and smug?
…well, he was really happy and smug about it for days.
But what followed was a big trouble for him.
He is not needed for major events, Lord Dustinis is in charge.
But there are a lot of small things, but he can only deal with them alone.
It would be okay if it was just like this, but without the suppression of senior Zhou Fang, these problem children in the team would all fall apart!
Chaos all the time!
Rather, most of the troubles are related to them!
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
Sato Kazuma was sitting in the living room dealing with chores, and the rest of the team were chatting with each other.
It was originally peaceful, but was disturbed by his sudden roar.
"Why, why are you all lazy, only I am working hard!"
unfair!
It's not fair!
Seeing Akuya and the others eating, drinking, and doing nothing every day, but I can only squat here to deal with trivial matters, and more and more documents are accumulated on the table, almost burying him here.
"Why is it more difficult than imagined!"
Sato Kazuma wanted to cry but had no tears.
He is just an ordinary high school student, and he was a dead house before coming to another world.
Even if he became an adventurer full-time, but suddenly he was asked to take over as the acting lord, wouldn't it be difficult for him to handle the lord's chores?
The waterways in the east are blocked, the rice fields in the west are short of water, the pastures in the south have been stolen, and the dungeon in the north has gone wrong.
A lot of difficult things are really troublesome.
He has no free time recently!
Sato Kazuma complained in a low voice: "I, I haven't been to succubus shops recently."
But what he didn't say is that the number of meetings with Chris has decreased a lot recently.
"Puff puff puff, idiot Kazuma just has nothing to do with this kind of thing."
Aqua covered her mouth and sneered at Sato Kazuma, but said as if giving charity:
"Hey, it's not impossible if you want me to help you, as long as you say 'Please, Aqua-sama, please help me'..."
"Hey, you guy... can you really handle it?"
Obviously, Sato Kazuma didn't believe her.
This is also of course.
In his eyes, Akuya has always been a problem child without a brain, and suddenly said that he would help him with chores.
But don't be a disservice... No, he already expected a disservice to the end.
"what-?!
What are you talking about, stupid and true! "
Akua widened her eyes, as if she was justifying herself, and said loudly:
"I am a goddess in the heavens anyway. Isn't this trivial matter solved easily?!"
"Please, Aqua-sama, please help me!"
Sato Kazuma immediately called for help, he was really about to be driven crazy by these chores.
However, he went to the doctor for an emergency.
With Akuya's poor IQ, how could he handle these things?
You know, when she was in the heaven, she always used her senior status to dump her mess to Eris, but she never took over the work documents.
"You guys are too, most of the troubles here are caused by you!"
Sato Kazuma looked at the others and complained:
"For example, Huihui and Yoyo, you two will destroy the canal next to you in a competition;
And Akuya, you ran to drink bubble wine again, be careful in case senior comes back to punish you;
And Darkness, you recently...
Huh?
Darkness has been staying at home recently, it seems that she rarely goes out, right?
It's strange that she didn't cause any trouble. "
Kazuma Sato finally discovered the blind spot.
The newly joined Yoyo is a little girl with a simple nature. If she is provoked by a few words from Megumin who has mental problems, she will be deceived and become dizzy.
It is understandable for the two to have trouble together.
Not to mention Akuya, she is a habitual offender, even if Senior Zhou Fang is at home, she will still go her own way.
It is impossible to correct this life.
Only Darkness hasn't caused too much trouble recently.
Except that he often went to see the [Magic Changed Tentacle Monster] before, but was blown up by Huihui accidentally when he brought it back, and he has been staying at home since then.
Haven't recovered from that loss yet?
"That, Darkness..."
"Ah, chores, right? Let me help too."
Darkness seemed to come back to her senses suddenly, and said to him and Aqua: "Anyway, I'm also the lord's daughter, and I'm pretty good at these things."
"No, it's not this, I just think you've been very unhappy recently."
"…Sorry, is it so obvious?"
Darkness didn't deny it either.
Indeed, she is really in a bad state now.
"I said, if you really want to raise demons and change tentacle monsters..."
"I was thinking about Wu... What did you say?"
The two looked at each other and fell silent for a moment.
"Magic tentacle monster..."
"No, nothing!"
"You said it, you said it!"
"No, you heard me wrong! Nothing!"
Sato Kazuma refused loudly, telling Darkness repeatedly as if trying to argue.
Absolutely, absolutely not!
That's what he told himself.
"Hey, but you just said... Wow!"
"Ahhhhhh—"
"Wow-"
"What, what's wrong!"
Just when Darkness was about to fight again, suddenly there was a violent earthquake, and everyone couldn't stand still, so they had to hold on to the furniture beside them to prevent themselves from falling.
"This, is this... an earthquake?"
"No... I don't know!"
"what is the problem?"
"Wow-!"
Just when everyone was at a loss, Sena's loud shout came from outside, and she broke into the Lord's Mansion while shouting.
"Sato Kazuma—! Is Sato Kazuma at home—!"
"What, what?!"
"What the **** is going on, explain to me quickly!"
"Hey, don't it's always my fault, okay?"
Every time something happened, the prosecutor of the kingdom would put a hat on his own head, making it difficult for him to act as the acting lord.
Of course Sato Kazuma felt upset.
It's obviously not my problem, and it's me who looks for it first every time.
But Sena asked persistently: "Then what's going on?!"
"You ask me, who am I to ask!"
Sato Kazuma rolled his eyes angrily.
This woman is definitely finding fault on purpose!
It must be because he said behind his back that she was an unwanted woman.
Definitely taking revenge on myself!
"I don't care, as the acting lord, you must find out the reason!"
"Hey, this is too rude and unreasonable!"
And when the two were about to quarrel, a certain great elf who had been staying in the room suddenly appeared in front of everyone.
"Wu! Wu is back!"
She had a surprised expression on her face.
Ever since Senior Zhou Fang left, the big elf, who had been full of loneliness, finally showed a bright smile.
———
Zhou Fangwu was very angry.
It has been a long time since I experienced this powerlessness, the last time was in "Zero".
At this moment, he was facing the innocent barren mountain, desperately venting his anger.
Punch, punch, and punch.
His fists hit the mountain wall, piercing the hill.
Then there was the ground, bottomless cracks spread out from under his body, causing the Axel Novice Village not far away to tremble uncontrollably.
It's a pity that he has been dazzled now.
until…
"Wu."
Akuya gently hugged him from behind, and the divine power of purifying the soul washed his body and mind, allowing him to return to his nature from the edge of losing control.
Because he would never have a hostile relationship with her, Akuya easily approached Zhou Fangwu's side.
"Aqua...?"
Looking at her bright and worried expression, and the concerned expressions of other team members.
Only then did Zhou Fangwu realize that he had lost his composure too much, which made them worry.
"…Feel sorry."
"It's okay, I've been here all the time, Wu can act like a baby to me as much as he wants."
Akuya hugged Zhou Fangwu's head, buried in her plump peak, her soft tone filled with endless comfort.
"Because you are my most important person."
"...Aqua."
Bury your face in the mountain Enjoy the tranquility of being soothed by the pure water, and regain your spirit after a while.
Zhou Fangwu dissipated his own rage, as well as the majesty he unconsciously exuded, and returned to his original approachable appearance.
"Sorry for worrying you."
"It's okay, Senior Zhou Fang!"
Sato Kazuma raised his right hand and gave a thumbs up to comfort him:
"When everyone is sad, this little thing is nothing. Aren't we companions? It's okay to rely on us a lot."
"Yes... thank you."
Hearing Sato Kazuma's comforting words, Zhou Fangwu also came out of his disappointment.
"Let's go, let's go home."
"Oh—!" X5
