A super traveler in a peaceful world

"Are you still caring about food at this time? By the way, didn't you just eat bread?"

"I haven't eaten for two days, so just a piece of bread is not enough."

As she spoke, Megumin looked at him with sad eyes, and held her belly that made a gurgling sound sadly. This look of a starving child made people feel sympathy.

"But we are not sure where we are now..." While worrying about how to solve the stomach problem of his companions, An Luo suddenly noticed a wild boar not far away while eating grass. Watching the two of them under the shade of the tree with vigilant eyes, he pointed at the wild boar with a flash of inspiration and said, "How about you use magic to kill the wild boar over there first? Let's roast the wild boar later?"

"Well...it's okay to kill them, but it's a little more difficult to use magic to catch them and eat them."

For some reason, Megumin cast her gaze into the distance while scratching her cheek awkwardly.

"Difficulty? Aren't you a very powerful magician?"

"Explosion magic is the most powerful magic. To use such magic, it takes a long time to prepare."

"?? Then why use explosion magic? Wouldn't it be better to use fireball or something? Can't you just cause landslides and ground cracks with an ordinary blow?"

"That's not wrong, but..."

"but?"

While looking at Huihui with her eyes wandering around, An Luo had a bad premonition in his heart, and he didn't know how many times he had given out a warning after meeting her.

"I can only use explosion magic, I can't use other magic at all!" Not sure if she gave up on herself, Megumin raised her little head and proudly announced: "I am a great magician who deeply loves explosion magic. It’s not that I like explosion magic, I just like explosion magic.”

"...Huh?? What's the difference between explosion magic and explosion magic?" An Luo complained subconsciously. An Luo was shocked and speechless by the sudden news. After a while, he adjusted his mood and asked cautiously. Said: "Are you really saying this? Are you not joking?"

"real."

"By the way, how many times can you use explosion magic at one time?"

"Explosion magic is my secret. It is extremely powerful, so the magic power consumed is extremely... painful!"

"——Don't go too far! Just tell me briefly!"

While Megumin was still pulling some strange things, An Luo simply slapped her on the head again, causing her raised head to drop quickly, and she once again staged a scene of holding her head and squatting in defense, but still in a low voice. Said: "...To put it simply, if I use it once, the magic power consumption will exceed the limit and I will become unable to move."

"..."

Another unexpected and shocking fact made An Luo completely silent.

Isn't this guy...a simple once-a-day bomb? Or is it the kind that has to be carried away after the explosion?

"Hey, why do I feel like you are looking down on me?"

"How could it be? I just dislike you. In addition, I also want to ask, can I still replace you now?"

"Of course not! The contract has been signed! If I can leave, I want to go back!" After complaining, Huihui suddenly changed the subject and said something that made the corners of An Luo's eyes twitch slightly: "Well... ...If I can eat well and stay here, there won’t be any problem.”

"...Isn't your position too firm?"

"Anyway, I will go hungry when I go home. It's better to find a stable job and think about the rest later."

"..."

At this point, it would be useless to complain anymore. An Luo no longer wanted to complain.

On the contrary, when faced with his silence, Huihui couldn't help but speak again: "Just say what you want to say! Don't keep silent!"

"...Fortunately, wild boars usually don't attack people. Otherwise, we would have been chased by the wild boar and fled to the nearby tree, right?" An Luo glanced at the wild boar that was still grazing in the distance. He sighed deeply and was thankful that the two of them seemed harmless and non-aggressive, so they didn't provoke an attack from the wild boar.

"W-what! It's not like I can't learn other magic! I'm a great magician who can use explosion magic!"

"Then you should learn it! What's wrong if you can only use magic once a day??"

"If you learn other skills, taking risks will indeed become easier... But!"

"Don't do it!"

"——I can't do it! My only true love is explosion magic! Even if my current magic can only be used once a day, and even if I fall to the ground after using magic, the only true love in my heart is still explosion magic! Because the only reason I chose to become a great magician is to use explosion magic!"

"...."

Sure enough, even if this child has the ability to collapse landslides and crack earth, is he actually still a useless person? .....Can you miss the great magician?

After you become familiar with how to use your powers, you can then figure out how to kill wild boars for meat, right? Or if possible, still find a way to find someone and confirm what is going on in the world now so that you can prepare for the next step.

An Luo, who was tired of the verbal disputes with Huihui, gave up complaining about her and looked at the wild boar for a while, then looked around to think about the next course of action, and automatically filtered out the little guy in front of him.

But it was this approach that made Huihui wave her hands in dissatisfaction, trying to show her presence: "Don't ignore me! If you have any dissatisfaction, just say it!"

"No, I'm not dissatisfied."

"Liar! Your face is full of dissatisfaction!"

"Okay, actually I just think it's troublesome to complain about teammates being useless and causing internal conflicts at this point. It would be better for us to find a way out of the dilemma of knowing nothing."

"Cruel? Me? What do you mean?! No matter what, I am still the number one genius of the Red Demon Clan! Or do you want to duel with me?!"

"Don't make trouble, I don't have time to pay attention to you now."

He casually glanced at the petite and noisy loli in front of him. After understanding that her magic required a long time to prepare, he was no longer worried that he could not control this loli, so he quickly looked away and ignored her, trying Try to find some reliable clues from the nearby environment.

Chapter 4: Survival in the Wilderness

"Ignore me again!" An Luo seemed to be really angry. He was still a little uneasy because he broke into a different world. Mehui, who wanted to show his worth, raised the staff in his hand: "...Okay! Then Let’s duel! Let you see the power of our Red Devil clan!”

"Okay, if you must."

"Don't regret it!"

"You won't regret it."

"good.....!"

Megumin nodded vigorously, prepared for an explosion to set off next to him, blowing both him and herself ten meters away, prepared to kill a thousand enemies and suffer eight hundred losses, and chanted attentively: "——Far better than black, worse than the darkness of darkness! Desire to merge with my true red! The time of awakening has arrived! The truth has fallen into the realm of immaturity and turned into an immature deformity!"

As the chanting continued, the air around Huihui began to vibrate. Even An Luo, who knew nothing about magic, could see how amazing the magic Huihui was about to use, because... strange things started happening all around. The strong wind made him unsteady, while the wild boar not far away screamed and ran away.

"Appear! Dance, dance, dance...! Oh, you, what are you doing--! It hurts, it hurts...! Be gentle, be gentle! Surrender, surrender! I surrender!"

The voice of Hui Hui chanting magic became louder and louder, and a line of sweat slipped from her temples. Then... An Luo stretched out his hands to pinch her cheeks, forcibly interrupting her chanting, causing her to quickly Indistinct words admit defeat and beg for mercy.

The first battle between the great magician Megumin and the ordinary human (tentatively) Anluo ended simply like this. At this time, the loser Megumin finally became honest for the time being.

............

After the dispute ended like a child's fight, the two quieted down and began to shift their attention from each other to the surrounding environment.

Apart from the lawn where they are now, all they can see is lush forests, with basically no traces of human activity. They are basically in barren mountains or nature reserves.

As a modern human... at least not long ago, he was still a little uneasy about being alone in the mountains and forests, so he tried to find a way to get out of here while experimenting with his superpowers.

Since he was completely unaware of the situation in the world he was in, An Luo humbly asked the troubled girl Megumin who was following him along the way about how to use this abnormal power.

Megumin did not betray his expectations in this regard. Although her words were occasionally mixed with Chuuni's lines, they still played a certain role in helping him gradually gain a certain understanding of supernatural power.

At the end of the groping, he concentrated all his attention on the truck-sized rock not far away, and then...

--boom! ! !

The boulder seemed to be held by invisible giant hands. After numerous cracks appeared, it exploded and disintegrated into countless rubbles that spread in all directions.

"Oh, oh~! So awesome! Your telekinesis is so powerful! This way our dinner will be settled!" Huihui couldn't help but applaud and admire the strength of her teammates. At the same time, she asked with some confusion: "But, aren't you trying? Move a little bit? Change your mind on the spur of the moment?”

"...No, I haven't changed my mind, I just can't control my strength a little bit."

"——Is this a minor problem!?" Megumin's eyes widened and she pointed at the smoke and dust not far away that still hadn't dispersed.

"Well... don't pay too much attention to the details. In short, let's find a way to find a town, village or something as soon as possible. I don't want to spend the night in the forest."

While sighing in his heart that the "god" was finally reliable for once, An Luo, who was overjoyed, ignored the small mistake and urged Huihui to move forward quickly.

"That's true, I'm already very hungry, but..." Huihui paused mid-sentence, glanced at the surrounding bushes before continuing: "Are there too few wild animals here?"

"...I don't know what standard you use to measure your youth, but when you say that, I have an ominous premonition."

It’s strange, why is the superpower stronger than expected? It’s difficult to control but it shouldn’t be a problem if you practice slowly, but why... What does this inexplicable ominous premonition portend?

But the dense vegetation nearby, most of which seemed to be within his awareness, gave him an ominous feeling that he had gradually become accustomed to for some reason.

This strange sense of foreboding made him have many premonitions about this. He already started to feel some stomachache before he actually encountered anything. But all he could do was pray silently in his heart that nothing else would happen. Something strange happened.

In the process of exploring the unknown front, besides praying in his heart, he was working hard to practice his telekinesis, trying to make sure that the premonition would not appear on the superpower he would rely on to survive in a different world.

I don’t know if God heard his prayers. The unexpected convenience of using telekinesis has not caused any problems. When he climbed over the mountains and ridges from noon to the afternoon, he could already uproot the trees, not just the whole tree. The tree directly turns into sawdust. Even if the tree itself is still bent, it can be regarded as a leap forward.

But at this time, even An Luo was feeling a little uncomfortable with hunger, and coincidentally, the noisy chirping of cicadas came from the distance.

Megumin, who was trudging forward listlessly with her staff, suddenly became energetic when she heard the cicada chirping. She excitedly pointed in the direction of the sound and shouted: "There's a cicada there! Hurry up and grab it and let's roast it." Let’s eat?!”

"Huh? Do you want to eat insects? By the way, there are also cicadas in your world and this world?"

Although he knew that cicadas could be eaten at any stage, were non-toxic and harmless and could even be used as medicine, he still had no desire to eat cicadas, especially those that were already adults.

After all, what most people mainly eat are cicada larvae and cicada pupae, and most of them are fried or stir-fried. Nowadays, there is even no oil, which may be difficult for normal people to eat.

"It's okay! Just leave it to me! With my skills as the number one chef of the Red Demon Clan, even cicadas can be made very delicious. You just need to catch those cicadas quickly and you can wait for the delicious food!"

With inexplicable confidence, Huihui gave him a thumbs up, but still cautiously reminded him: "Don't crush it like that stone. Even I don't want to eat bug juice."

"Okay, I'll try my best."

"give it to you!"

.....That's it. Although I don't really want to eat bugs, when I'm hungry... I really want to try anything.

An Luo himself hadn't eaten anything since the morning, and he was very hungry at the end of the day. If he could eat something, it wouldn't be wrong to give it a try.

It's just that... more than ten "fat" cicadas were carefully and forcefully peeled off from the tree by An Luo with invisible force. They floated slowly and came to the tree holding the branch in both hands, almost drooling. In front of Megumin, there was a "pop!" and a gorgeous explosion.

The strange blood splashed directly on the smiling girl's face.

The girl closed her eyes reflexively, and the excited smile on her face became distorted in an instant.

Chapter 5 An unforgettable hug with negative meanings

"Ah, how should I put it... Looking at these insects up close and imagining that they would be more disgusting than I just imagined if they were to be eaten."

".......so?"

"I'm just a little excited... Well, there's nothing we can do if we fail. There are a lot of cicadas nearby and we still have another chance. Don't worry about it!"

An Luo, who was dumbfounded for a moment, calmly distanced himself from Megumin, whose face was full of insect blood. Obviously, he didn't want to be touched by the girl in this state, even if... she turned into this. People are themselves.

"Hey...Mr. An Luo."

Megumin turned her head stiffly like a machine, looked directly at An Luo with scarlet eyes, and slowly showed a terrifying smile.

"What's the matter? Miss Megumin?"

"We've known each other for so long, but we haven't shaken hands yet, have we? In order to have a happy cooperation in the future, shouldn't we shake hands and hug each other to deepen the friendship between companions?"

While Megumin declared this, she stretched out her hand, which was stained with insect blood and broken limbs just like her face, and walked towards him unhurriedly.

But An Luo kept stepping back with a stiff smile: "No, no, we are all people with a contract. There is no need to stick to this formal etiquette."

"...What? Do you mean that you don't want to touch it at all after you covered my face with insect fluid?"

"But I didn't mean it."

"It doesn't matter now. Companions should share blessings and hardships together!"

Hui Hui immediately rushed forward with her teeth and claws bared, causing An Luo to accelerate backwards and accidentally fell to the ground. Therefore, she could only quickly wave her hands to stop the approaching Loli: "——Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, Megumin, don’t make such unfunny jokes, you’re not telling the truth, right? Is the friendship we have built up over mountains and rivers together going to be broken here?!”

"If this friendship is so fragile, it's better to just break it!"

After realizing that An Luo could not escape, Megumin's aggressive anger disappeared, and her red eyes seemed to shine as she approached him little by little, as if a child wanted to play a prank.

This made An Luo give up fooling her, raised his hands in surrender and suggested: "I was wrong. We found the person. I will treat you to a big meal and make you feel happy. Do you think this is okay?"

"real?"

"real!"

"You know the consequences of lying to me, right?"

"We are companions of life and death. How could I lie to you? Come on, I'll give you my coat. You can wipe it off first."

In order to avoid being rubbed by Huihui's clothes, Anluo could only sacrifice himself in pain, and handed the coat that he had taken off long ago due to the hot summer to Huihui, but...

"——To thank you in advance for the feast, I will give you a hug from a beautiful girl!"

While speaking, Huihui looked like she had already approved the compensation. Regardless of An Luo's surprised expression, she rushed towards him and hugged him. She kept rubbing her face full of insect juice against his chest and said with a proud smile: " The Red Devils not only have powerful magic power, but also have very high IQs! Don’t think that I will be fooled by your sugar-coated bullets! I know that you are as penniless as me!"
