Megumin shivers to the mention of the price.

Varakiel: no problem ill put it for a month.

Varakiel then hands the owner a bag with 500k eris

Varakiel: There should be 600k eris in there, the rest use it for the bathroom fee.

Owner: alright, thank you for your patronage!.

Megumin: 6-600k!? Just like that?

Varakiel: haha not worry we pretty much made that in a week so there's no problem.

Megumin: o-only with toads?

Varakiel: mhm, they are our main income for now, we just sneak behind them and kill them.

Megumin: i-incredible…

Then they enter their new bedroom.

Varakiel: Alright so this is your room for now, Megumin, in the future we will get a house.

Megumin: …..mhm. thanks.

Varakiel: Alright I'll come back, I need to make dinner for Tonight.

Megumin: y-you cook as well?

Granberia: his nickname is the god of cooking expect something out of this world child.

Megumin: *gulp*...understood.

...

Megumin: s-so good!!!!

Megumin was filling up her mouth like a squirrel.

Varakiel: relax child, no one is going to take away your food, eat slowly….

Megumin shily gulps and nods..

Granberia: you must have suffered from hunger….not worry with us, you won't suffer from starvation.

Megumin: a-alright! (Gods if this is a dream please make it real!)

Varakiel: hehe, but it seems you liked it a lot. That's good, eat to your heart's content but slowly, the best food is the one that you can enjoy with your family.

Granberia: mhm that's right.

Varakiel: Oh right salamander when are you coming out?

Salamander: hm ah, sorry i was sleeping i still need to get accustomed.

Salamander suddenly appears at the remaining chair on the table.

Megumin: !?

Megumin gets surprised by the sudden appearance of this person.

Varakiel: ah right i forgot i Haven't present you, megumin this is salamander, my partner and granberia's mother, she is a fire spirit.

Megumin: a-a fire spirit?

Salamander: salutations little girl, I saw your attitude back then when you refused to not use any other spell, I must say I admire your courage, a normal person doesn't last too long with such a dream, show me how strong your resolution is.

Megumin: m-mhm!

…

The next day in the morning.

Megumin opens her eyes from her sleep.

Megumin: I don't recognize this ceiling…

Megumin then gets up and she notices the other two beds…

Megumin: in the end they actually left me behind….

Megumin then notices the plate of food on the table….with a note.

Note: megumin we will be in the backyard training. Eat up your breakfast and prepare for today.

Megumin then cries.

Megumin: *sniff* it was actually real…*sniff* They are waiting for me.

Megumin then eats the breakfast…slowly and she swears to wake up early from now on.

Megumin: delicious~!

…..

Varakiel: Ha!

Granberia: Ha!

Varakiel and granberia clash!

Varakiel: Oh look, the sleeping beauty woke up~. Good morning megumin.

Granberia: good morning kiddo.

Megumin: Good morning!

Varakiel: alright lets us get cleaned and then we part

Varakiel and granberia used cleaning magic on themselves!

Megumin: cleaning magic?

Varakiek: mhm we already learnt it

Granberia: is very useful after all, if you need me to use it on you just ask.

Megumin:o-ok.

Then they leave to the adventurer guild.

—---

Receptionist: welcome varakiel, granberia and megumin!

Varakiel: hello, good morning, so anything new?

Receptionist: So far we still have toads quests. How many are you taking today?

Varakiek: all of them of course~.

Receptionist: very well!.

The receptionist happily attends varakiel.

Adventurer A: you are so mean receptionist why your attitude is different with him….

Receptionist: because he clearly puts efforts on his work not like you lazy dogs who only work once a week and not aspire for more.

Varakiel: hehe, is okay after all someone has to take care of them and i don't want farmers or children to get eaten by those things, the farmers are clearly the reason because the front can keep going due to their crops and children well they could be the next hero as far as i know.

Receptionist; *sniff* I admire your motivation. From now on I will give you number one priority when you arrive in the guild!

Varakiel:...alright thank you for your hard work, is it done?

Receptionist: yeah your objective for today are 30 toads, thank you for your hard work yet again, and be safe.

Granberia: 30 again? Seriously, where are they coming from?

Megumin: giant toads can hide in the ground very well and you won't be able to find them until they get out….

Varakiel: mhm alright let's go..

…..

Varakiel: Alright remember megumin you can only use explosion to wake up the toads you can't kill them or either way we won't get the money from their carcasses.

Megumin: okay!

Varakiel: alright then when there are no more toads you will use it.

Megumin: understood!

Varakiel: mhm, also wear this ring.

Varakiel hands a shadow ring to megumin.

Megumin: what is this for?

Varakiel: is a magic equipment, with this ring you will be unperceptive to the toads meaning that after you use explosion they won't go and eat you up.

Megumin:oooohhh! Such thing exists?

Varakiel: mhm but it is quite expensive to get so not lose it you can keep it, you have more use for it than us.

Megumin:a-alright i will take care of it well.

Varakiel: alright let 's begin granberia.

Granberia: of course!

...

Megumin: woah...they are very strong….

Megumin saw how varakiel and granberia killed the toads in different ways from melee combat, to using explosive arrows, magic, traps…

Megumin: this is the true potential of an adventurer!!

Megumin began to admire granberia and varakiel even more!

Varakiel: alright that should be the last on the field, megumin do the thing!

Megumin: alright!!

Megumin then prepares an explosion!

Megumin: blow up, Explosion!

*Booooommmmm*

Megumin then collapses

But varakiel catches her and puts her back against a rock nearby.

Varakiel: Alright now keep enjoying the show, haha.

Megumin: hehe.

Varakiel and granberia then charge ahead to kill the toads that woke up…

...

Receptionist: woah! You returned so fast!

The receptionist is in awe. They were fast before but now they're faster.

Varakiel: is all thanks to megumin, thanks to her explosion we can find the remaining toads without the need to wait for them to wake up.

Receptionist: I see, great! Then here is your reward….i still can't believe that you have a space magic varakiel you don't need to spend on the transport services for the corpses.

Varakiel: hehe, is a secret technique from my family.

Lily: ( you mean the system is your family as well?)

Varakiel: ( do you really need me to answer?)

Lily: (...no sorry it was a dumb question is obvious that it is..hehe)

Receptionist: alright so your reward for everything would be 1.5M eris.

Megumin: so much money….

Varakiel: mhm that's to be expected every toad is 40k eris and the quests rewards adds another 300k.

Receptionist: precisely, thank you for your hard work as always.

Varakiel: mhm, hm…

Granberia: what is it?

Granberia then looks at the tavern and the group of Kazuma and aqua that were talking to a female knight and a female rogue.

Granberia: hmm? Why she seems familiar?

Varakiel: lets check out, i wonder what are they doing.

Megumin: okay…(even though he wanted to get rid of me at least i must tolerate him after all thanks to him i was able to meet and join these three beautiful persons.)

….

Aqua was performing a trick with a glass on her head

???: Hahaha you're a funny one hey are you that party darkness wants to get in on? You want to learn something useful? How about some thief skills?

The female rogue talked to kazuma and aqua from the next table.

Kazuma: um, thief skills? What kind of skills are those?

Rogue: I'm glad you asked. They're very useful, for starters. You can detect and disarm traps; you can set an ambush or steal an item. There are a bunch of great passive abilities. Your class is adventurer, right? Well, you don't even need many points to learn thief skills. It's a great deal. What do you say? I'll teach you some for the price of one crimson beer!.

Kazuma: all right—it's a deal! Waiter! One crimson beer for the lady, please!

Varakiel: cheap as always, hehe hello chris.

Chris: ah its you varakiel and you must be …granberia right?

Granberia looks at chris with suspicious eyes…

Chris:w-what is it?

Granberia: have we meet before?

Chris: i-i dont think so i am sure i would remember someone like granberia hehe…ah right i forgot to introduce myself i'm chris . I'm a thief, as you can see. And this boor here is darkness. I think you've already met her, kazuma. She's a crusader, so i don't know if she'll have that many skills you'd want to learn.

Kazuma: great! My name's kazuma, nice to meet you chris!.

Granberia: my name is granberia, is nice to meet you chris and darkness…

Chris: anyways what is it varakiel did you need me for something? 

Varakiel: well i came to learn more thief skills, your traps skills were really useful.

Chris: w-wait, you were joking with that dream right?

Varakiel: nope, i always say the truth…almost…

Salamander:(hehehe.)

Aqua: hm, what dream Is that?

Varakiel: we want to learn all the skills in the world so we choice our job as adventurers hahaha.

Kazuma and aqua spit up their beer.

Aqua: *cof* w-what kind of nonsense is that!?

Kazuma: *cof* you two are adventurers and still so strong? How!? Did you cheat!?

Varakiel: is called diligent training kid, you should try it, don't rely only on level ups this is real is not a game.

Megumin: yeah i saw how hard they trained today no wonder they are so strong!

Kazuma:....

Varakiel: (hopefully he will reflect on it but what can i expect from a earthling like him) anyways i heard you are teaching him some skills and i remembered about steal so i came and learn i got enough points for it now…

Chris: okay, but you know my price.

Varakiel:*sigh*... here cookies i made.

Chris: great~! 

Kazuma: ....
