Anime: Re:Zero - Jobless Reincarnation

Aqua still looked very energetic. The blue uniform on her body had not changed much, and the haori was still hanging around her neck.

The sturdy man in the lead, who was also the foreman, held coins in his hand and began to distribute rewards one by one.

"Well, thank you for your hard work! That's all for today! Here, this is today's daily wage."

The contractor said this to everyone one by one.

"Thank you. Thank you for your hard work, foreman--!"

"Thanks for your hard work--!"

The contractor responded casually: "It's okay, I'll leave it to you tomorrow as well."

Soon, under the expectant gaze of Sato Kazuma and Aqua, the contractor came up to the two of them.

The burly figure stood in front of the two of them. Sato Kazuma and Aqua looked up at the burly man in front of them.

For some reason, the guy that Sato Kazuma and Aqua originally thought was annoying now looked handsome.

Under the expectant gaze of the two, the contractor paused, took out three coins from his hand and handed them to Sato Kazuma, then took out another three coins and handed them to Aqua.

Sato Kazuma and Aqua were holding the coins in their hands, slightly stunned, and both of them showed joy on their faces.

Sato Kazuma immediately bowed and said respectfully, "Thank you for your kindness, foreman! I will definitely work hard in the future!"

Aqua was also surprised and asked, "The reward is three times what it was yesterday. Will it be the same in the future?"

Sato Kazuma and Aqua's salary is not high. Although it is physical work, it is actually only 100,000 Eris a day.

This was because both of them were novices. In fact, one hundred thousand Eris a day was enough to spend in this town. After all, it was very peaceful here and prices were naturally low, so Sato Kazuma and Aqua would not starve.

However, the next moment, the joyful expressions of the two froze.

"You two, don't come here anymore."

The foreman said to the two men with a cold face.

"Ah?" Sato Kazuma was stunned for a moment, then he reacted. His original joyful expression disappeared, and the boy showed a smile that was uglier than crying.

"Huh? Are you kidding me?" Aqua was ready to fire, but when she was about to speak, she was pulled by Sato Kazuma, who stretched out his dirty hand and covered Aqua's mouth. Aqua struggled hard, but Aqua ignored him. The boy asked the strong man carefully, "Can you tell me why?"

Upon hearing this, the foreman sneered, and his square face became even more stern. He said casually, "Why? Don't you know why? Take the money and get out of here. This place is no longer suitable for you. It's good enough to give you 300,000 eris."

Sato Kazuma's face turned very ugly.

Aqua broke free from Sato Kazuma's arm and complained to the foreman, "If you want to leave, leave tomorrow. I've been working at the construction site all day and I'm so dirty."

The sturdy man was stunned for a moment, then nodded slightly and said, "Alright, I'll keep you here for one more night, and get out tomorrow."

After saying that, he walked away with a swagger.

Only Sato Kazuma was left with a bitter look on his face.

Aqua said at this time: "Well, Kazuma, if I hadn't asked, we would have to sleep outside tonight. Come on, praise me. I haven't played no role at all."

Sato Kazuma was unaware of this. The boy stood there, muttering, "How could this happen? I was reincarnated into another world and came to a construction site to carry bricks, but I was fired?"

Seeing that her words did not receive a response, Aqua waved her hand in front of Sato Kazuma's eyes and continued, "Hey, Kazuma, can you hear me?"

Sato Kazuma looked up, tears welling up in his eyes. The boy finally couldn't stand it anymore and shouted at Aqua: "Who do you think is to blame for all this? If you hadn't talked to me while I was working and even made a move, how could I have been fired!"

“Huh? Kazuma, what nonsense are you talking about? You were the one who spoke to me first, and you called me an idiot. Why do you push everything onto me? Do you have any sense of responsibility as a man?”

"You are really useless!"

“Kazuma, if you keep talking like that, even the goddess will get angry.”

The two started arguing again.

What the two of them didn't know was that Luo Ya was standing in the shadows next to the unfinished eaves, watching the two people arguing. Finally, he couldn't hold back his smile and began to rise wildly.

He finally understood that he had to look at the two people from the perspective of a funny person.

After figuring it all out, the boy decided to follow the anime in real life and prepare to create a lot of trouble for the two of them.

Chapter 306 Recruiting teammates

The camera turned and it was revealed that Sato Kazuma and Aqua were too tired to fight in the end. They looked at each other fiercely, snorted coldly, and went to the bathhouse to take a bath.

Public baths are almost the same as Japanese bathhouses.

After they finished washing, they went straight to the rest area.

The resting place is also very simple.

It was a stable, not very spacious and had a strange smell.

But Sato Kazuma and Aqua didn't say anything, as if they were used to it. They picked up some straw that was not stained with horse manure and made it into a bed, then immediately lay down on the ground.

The two of them lay on the ground, neither Sato Kazuma nor Aqua spoke.

Aqua felt at ease and closed her eyes and fell asleep, but Sato Kazuma looked up at the straw on the roof and fell into deep thought.

The boy suddenly asked, "Why did we choose this kind of career in the first place?"

Aqua was not asleep. She turned over and said in a strange tone, "Is there any need to explain? If you don't work, you won't have food to eat? You don't like working? Really, hikikomori are so picky."

"No! That's not it. What I want is a life of fighting monsters and exciting battles! Besides, how can this world be invaded by the Demon King and fall into crisis? It's so peaceful that I can't even see the word Demon King. Hey!"

"But you can't even move bricks properly, and you were fired."

"Shut up, stop talking!" Sato Kazuma covered his face with a hideous and painful expression.

Finally, the boy seemed to have made a decision. Sato Kazuma said with a serious face: "Let's go to the guild to gather members. We can't go on like this. We will starve to death."

Aqua turned sideways, and a look of doubt flashed across her delicate face. Aqua had a good figure, and Sato Kazuma could even see the whiteness of her chest through Aqua's slightly thin pajamas.

Even though he knew what the guy in front of him looked like, Kazuma's face still showed a slight blush. However, this slight blush was completely destroyed by Aqua's next sentence.

"Can't you still be a salesperson? In fact, there are many low-level jobs, and it doesn't mean you will definitely starve to death!" Aqua said.

Sato Kazuma looked at the goddess with clear eyes expressionlessly. For the first time, he felt that life was hopeless.

"Tomorrow, become an adventurer. Stop talking so much. Do you plan to stay in this world until the Demon King dies of old age?"

The goddess in front of me gives people a sense of clear stupidity. Looking at the girl's clear eyes, those blue eyes and those flawless cheeks, plus those blue hair.

Obviously, any one of these points would make people praise the other party sincerely. However, when these things are combined together to form a goddess named Aqua, those beautiful and praiseworthy things instantly become worthless.

As an otaku, Sato Kazuma slept with a beautiful girl for the first time, but he was really not excited at all.

Sato Kazuma turned around, his back facing Aqua, and closed his eyes without any lingering feelings. He sniffed the faint smell of horse manure coming from the stable, closed his eyes, and fell asleep.

Seeing that Sato Kazuma had no interest in chatting, Aqua yawned, changed into a comfortable position, and fell asleep instantly.

The next day, the two came to the guild. They had 300,000 eris in their pockets, which added up to 600,000 eris, which was barely enough to last for a while.

According to Sato Kazuma's plan, members will be recruited into the guild today.

There were not many people in the guild in the morning. Sato Kazuma and Aqua had already arrived at the guild early in the morning. Luna, who was standing by the counter, looked a little listless and did not look very energetic. Perhaps it was because she got up very early. In short, the girl looked a little lazy.

The guild was empty. After all, it was early in the morning. Logically, it should have just opened at this time, and there wouldn't be any adventurers coming here.

It was always like this in the past, but today was a little different. Luna found a chair, sat down and was about to take a nap, but she saw Sato Kazuma and Aqua walking towards her.

Luna was slightly stunned. As a counter lady, she forced herself to dispel her tiredness. The corners of the girl's mouth curled up, and a faint smile appeared on her pretty face. Luna said to the two of them, "Welcome, two adventurers. Is there anything I can help you with today?"

Faced with such a cute girl like Luna, Sato Kazuma's cheeks subconsciously turned red, and the boy's eyes subconsciously fell on Luna's chest, and then he suddenly withdrew his gaze as if he was electrocuted.

Young boys are like this, they have the desire to steal but not the courage to do it.

Luna pursed her lips slightly and found the boy in front of her particularly interesting. His youthful look made Luna feel particularly cute.

Sato Kazuma waved his hand in embarrassment and quickly explained, "We came to the guild this time to recruit a few adventurers so that we can go out on quests together."

Luna still had a smile on her face and nodded slightly, "Is that so? It seems that Mr. Kazuma has already decided to become an adventurer, right?"

Sato Kazuma was stunned for a moment, then asked excitedly: "Do you know me?"

Compared to Sato Kazuma's slightly excited look, Luna said with some confusion: "Didn't I register you the day before yesterday? How come I don't recognize you?"

Sato Kazuma touched the back of his head and said a little embarrassedly: "I thought you would definitely ignore an ordinary person like me, but I didn't expect you to remember my name directly."

Luna smiled and said casually, "Ordinary people? This town is just an ordinary town. There's nothing special about it. We are all ordinary people. There's no need to feel inferior because we are ordinary."

"Luna, you are so nice." Sato Kazuma was in tears and reached out to hold Luna's hand tightly. Luna was startled by Sato Kazuma's sudden movement and subconsciously retracted her hand, but the boy held it very tightly and she couldn't pull it back for a while.

"Forehead"

Just when Luna was in a dilemma, Aqua beside her patted Sato Kazuma's head and said with a helpless expression: "Kazuma, can you please stop being so embarrassing? Really, NEETs are NEETs."

When Sato Kazuma heard Aqua's words, the originally touched mood instantly disappeared. Sato Kazuma glared at Aqua and said to her, "What do you care?"

Taking advantage of the gap between Sato Kazuma and Aqua, Luna quickly withdrew her hand, pointed to the chair next to her and said, "You can take a rest over there, or you can go to the bounty list and write down your needs on a piece of paper and then post it, so that more adventurers will notice you.

"Oh, I understand." Sato Kazuma nodded quickly to show that he understood.

Because he had some free time, Sato Kazuma took out a pen and wrote a few lines of information on recruiting teammates. Then he picked up the paper and discussed with Aqua for a while. Finally, Sato Kazuma finalized the somewhat simple conditions and put the paper on the bounty board.

The requirements of this piece of paper are also very simple, and it also details the configuration of Sato Kazuma's team.

Although Sato Kazuma himself is too mediocre and has basically nothing to show for it, the presence of the high priestess Aqua, who is a high-level profession after all, makes this team look very attractive on the surface.

This town is like this. There are hardly any strong people. Having a high priest of a higher profession is enough to attract many people to join.

Sato Kazuma thought so. Because Aqua was there, and Sato Kazuma himself wanted to do something big, the requirements naturally became a bit harsh. Although it was not to the point that only high-level professions were rejected, ordinary adventurers really could not join Sato Kazuma's team.

However, the consequence of Sato Kazuma's actions was that by noon, no one was willing to join Sato Kazuma's team.

The two of them sat like this for the entire morning.

From being empty in the morning to being crowded now, but unfortunately, still no one came to Sato Kazuma to ask questions.

But think about it, although Aqua is a senior high priest, after all, Sato Kazuma and Aqua are of relatively low levels, and are rookie adventurers. Since they are newcomers, they must be immature in some aspects, which means that both of them are rookies, and naturally no one would be willing to bring two burdens along.

They don't want newcomers, and adventurers of similar levels look down on Sato Kazuma's team. Moreover, the town is quite peaceful, and the number of casualties throughout the year is probably not that large at all. In this case, naturally not many people will come over to recruit teammates.

Unless the other party is also a newcomer, and this newcomer must meet Sato Kazuma's requirements, such conditions will naturally become very harsh.

The two of them sat there in silence. Some curious people came over and asked a few questions, then shook their heads and left.

For a moment, the air around Sato Kazuma and Aqua became silent again.

Aqua couldn't stand it anymore, so she said to Sato Kazuma: "Hey, Kazuma, how about we lower our requirements a bit?"

Sato Kazuma held his chin with his right hand, looking very bored. After thinking about it, Sato Kazuma agreed with Aqua's opinion and changed the above request.

However, after waiting for a while, still no one was willing to come.

Now both of them couldn't sit still any longer.

But at this moment, a slightly childish female voice came from the door.

“I am the Crimson Demon Clan’s foremost magician, Megumin! Do any of you want to be my companion?”

The sound was so loud that everyone stopped what they were doing for a moment. Everyone looked towards the door, only to see a girl dressed rather strangely.

This is a girl of about fifteen or sixteen years old. She is wearing a black cloak, a black robe, black boots, a staff, and even a pointed hat. She is dressed like a typical wizard. When the girl walked in, the cloak behind her robe swayed in the breeze.

Sato Kazuma was not far from the door, so he naturally saw the girl who was dressed and looked very strange.

Sato Kazuma subconsciously narrowed his eyes and his expression became a little strange.

The girl was dressed very strangely, with an eyepatch-like decoration tied around her right eye. At first, he didn't look closely and thought that the girl was wearing white over-the-knee socks. But when the girl strode into the living room, he realized that those were not white over-the-knee socks at all, but a bandage wrapped around the leg.

Sato Kazuma instinctively sensed something was wrong, but when he heard the other party's self-introduction, Sato Kazuma was stunned for a moment, and a look of slight joy appeared on his face.

Sato Kazuma poked the drowsy Aqua and whispered to her, "That guy looks pretty good. He's a top-level professional magician, and he's actually from the Crimson Demon Clan. His strength shouldn't be too bad. What do you think?"

The Crimson Demons are born with high intelligence and strong magic power, and most of them have the potential to become expert magicians. The characteristics of the Crimson Demons are the red eyes that are the origin of the tribe's name... and everyone's name is very strange.

The Red Demon Clan is the world's leading family of magicians. Basically all powerful magicians come from the Red Demon Clan.

Of course, due to some other reasons, the reputation of the Red Demon Clan is not particularly good.

"Ah?" Aqua rubbed her eyes and nodded blankly.

However, in fact, everyone's actions only paused for a moment, and when they saw that it was Huihui, they simply ignored her.

Everyone was still doing what they were supposed to do, and their expressions didn't change at all.

The girl from the Red Demon Clan seemed accustomed to this kind of scene and didn't care too much about it. She swaggered to the bounty board, scanning it from top to bottom, and finally her eyes stopped on the piece of paper recruiting the team.

The girl took a few looks and seemed to be moved. She asked something to the adventurers around her. The adventurer pointed casually, and the place he pointed to was exactly where Sato Kazuma and Aqua were.
