Chapter 124
"Today, I'm taking Broly to adapt to the life of an Adventurer!"
While eating breakfast at the rice bowl, Aqua announced what she was going to do today.
"I happen to have no Quest either, so I can tag along and keep an eye on you two. Although my level isn't high, dealing with Monsters near Axel Town is still a piece of cake."
Marian took the initiative to propose this.
"Consider it an Apology for misunderstanding you last night!"
"Did something happen last night?"
Aqua tilted her head, and Broly looked at her unchanged Happiness Value, confirming that this Goddess Master might have truly forgotten about getting Angry last night.
After eating, the three people went out the door, accompanying each other to the Adventurer's Guild. Hearing that the two people were preparing to accept their first Adventurer Commission, Luna at the Counter recommended the Giant Frog Subjugation Quest to the two people.
"This Creature, the Giant Frog, usually doesn't have strong aggression, but when it reaches breeding season, in order to lay eggs, it will want to obtain more food supplements, thereby approaching near the Town.
Therefore, the people and livestock inside the Farms near the Town will all receive Threats from this Creature. Although you two are only Newbie Adventurers, your Attribute Values are extremely high, so I think dealing with Giant Frogs is no problem.
So, I recommend you two accept the Giant Frog Subjugation Quest……"
Luna was having a Headache over this matter. The profit from Giant Frog Subjugation isn't very high, and it often gets people covered in sticky slime all over.
So, many high-level Adventurers with other choices don't like doing this kind of Subjugation Quest, while low-level Adventurers doing this kind of Quest is comparatively Dangerous.
The Guild side was even preparing to Subsidize this Giant Frog Subjugation Quest. Unexpectedly, the two terrifying-Attribute Newbie Adventurers who registered yesterday came to accept a Commission today, and even specified wanting weak Newbie Monsters as Opponents. This is practically a Pillow delivered right while sleeping.
"Fine, then we'll accept this Quest!"
Aqua waved her hand grandly, having the receptionist lady take down the Commission Form.
"Aqua, Giant Frogs aren't that easy to Deal With……"
Fighter Marian watched from the Side, just preparing to Remind Aqua, when an Adventurer called out to her from the Side.
"Marian, we plan to go to the Forest in the North to Subjugate that annoying group of monkeys. We currently still need a teammate proficient in Fighting. Do you want to go with us?"
The leading Adventurer issued an Invitation.
"The reward is 250,000 Eris, and I personally can add another 50,000 on top. Please help us out."
Seeing Marian had the intention to Refuse, that person hurriedly added another sentence.
"Aqua……"
A lucrative Job suddenly came knocking, putting Marian in a difficult spot. She had already Agreed to accompany the two people to do their first Newbie Commission today.
"No problem, it's just a bunch of frogs. I can handle it myself. You have work, so go be busy."
Aqua slapped her Chest, saying confidently.
"Marian-neesan, I'm very Powerful."
Broly spoke the absolute truth, but obviously no one had a concept of his Powerful-ness.
"Alright then, when you get back, I'll treat you two to a Big Meal."
Thinking of the Attributes the two people displayed when registering yesterday, Marian wasn't too Worried anymore.
"Broly, this is the Monster Handbook nee-san recorded before.
It was for my younger brother to read before. Now I'll give it to you. Inside is recorded information on various Monsters near Axel. You take it.
Also, here is some money. Count it as me Lending it to you and your Master.
Before going to Deal With Giant Frogs, remember to go to the Blacksmith side and Buy two handy Weapons."
Before leaving, Marian also stuffed a small Manual and some money to Broly. The Manual had some Monster information written on it.
The money was around 30,000 Eris, just right for the cost of buying two Beginner Swords.
"Weapons? Not needed. I have the Goddess Staff."
And when Broly mentioned buying Weapons, Aqua indicated it wasn't needed at all, casually Summoning out a Flower Bud Staff.
"No problem, Broly. Today you don't need to lift a finger. Leave it all to me. You just need to stand to the Side and observe this Master's splendid performance. After you've watched enough, then come do actual combat against Monsters."
Aqua led Broly out of the City. She said she was going to let him adapt to the Adventurer life, but today Aqua only planned to let Broly experience the Atmosphere of combat against Monsters at close range. As for lifting a finger, she thought for a child, it was still too early.
"Broly, although your Attribute Values are very high, actual combat isn't enough with just Attributes. You also need to know the techniques of Battle. Now, let me, as your Master, teach you the true way of Battle!"
Looking at the pink Giant Frogs wandering on that Plain over there, Aqua said this to Broly, who was of the Battle Race, then put away the Flower Bud Staff in her hand, raised her pair of Fists, and charged at that big frog.
"Innocent frog, please don't blame me. This is necessary Slaughter needed to survive in This World. But I will definitely let you leave This World without Pain. I swear in the name of the Water Goddess, Divine Wind Fist!"
The charging Aqua's Fist was wrapped in Divine Power. Clearly a Water Goddess, yet she used a Flame Fist Trick.
It looked powerful. After arriving in front of the pink Giant Frog, that Fist with special effects struck the other's Thick Belly.
After a ripple, the Giant Frog didn't move an inch……
"Huh? Why didn't it work?"
Aqua looked at her Fist that had no effect at all, a bit stunned.
And on that side, Broly also flipped open the small Manual Marian left for him.
Only to see recorded above that because the Giant Frog has developed Muscles, and its Skin also carries slippery mucus, it possesses the characteristic of Immunity to Blunt Attacks.
On the page recording Giant Frog information in the Manual, there were also many complaints, complaining how This World could have a Giant Frog, this kind of Newbie Monster Setting, how are Newbie Fighters supposed to live.
Obviously, this Creature, the Giant Frog, once brought great Trouble to the Manual's owner Marian. And according to the Manual's records, back then Marian relied on switching to Boxing Gloves with Spikes to be able to Solve the Giant Frogs.
"But if using a Beginner Sword, it feels like it would work better than Spiked Boxing Gloves. Also, after a Giant Frog swallows a person, it enters a motionless digestion state. That is the best time to launch an attack, Solve the Giant Frog, and Rescue a Companion. Aqua Master, Marian-neesan's Manual writes it like this."
Broly raised his head, looking at Aqua who had already been swallowed by the Giant Frog until only two legs were left sticking out, and said.
"So it's like that……"
Aqua's muffled voice rang out from inside the Giant Frog's Belly, but that voice quickly turned into a crying tone.
"Broly, I'll use Healing to Persist. Can you trouble yourself to go back to Town and Shout for people to come Save me?"
"Eh? Isn't this Aqua Master, you demonstrating the true way of Battle to me?"
Broly was a bit Surprised. He had thought being swallowed by the Giant Frog was Aqua's unique Battle way!
