CHAPTER 1 - PART 4

"I get it. Just us two isn't enough, so let's recruit more members!"

After returning to town, the first thing we did was head to the bathhouse to wash up. We then ate fried frog meat in the adventurer's guild and discussed our plans.

Apart from being a meeting place for adventurers, the adventurer's guild also doubled as a bar. It allowed adventurers to sell the monsters they hunted, and serving tasty monsters was also a bit of a selling point for them.

We sold the meat of the two frogs we hunted to the guild and earned some allowance in the process.

The frog was too big for the two of us to carry, but, if you turned in a request to the guild, they'd provide delivery service, transporting the monster you defeated.

Selling one frog and deducting the transport fee earned us 5,000 eris.

The earnings were about the same as doing construction work.

However, the slightly tough fried frog meat was unexpectedly tasty, which surprised me.

When I first came to this world, I was a bit hesitant about eating lizards and frogs.

However, after having one prepared and served to me, I found it to be delicious.

Of course, the goddess before me ate anything without hesitation.

"But… Even if we want to recruit comrades, do you think anyone would want to team up with novices like us who don't even have proper equipment?"

With a mouthful of frog meat, Aqua waved the fork in her hand.

"Wiff mi hare, I juice node…"

"Swallow. Swallow before you speak."

After Aqua swallowed, she said:

"With me here, I just need to holler and people will line up to join us. I'm an Archpriest after all, a top-tier job! I can use all sorts of healing spells and support magic, and I can relieve poison and paralysis statuses. I can even perform resurrection, a talent any team would want. I might've fallen into the mortal world, causing my powers to be far from my peak, but I'm still a goddess… Ahem! I'm Aqua-sama after all! I just need to put up a notice and a bunch of people begging me to 'bring me along on quests' will show up! If you understand, then give me another piece of fried frog meat!"

After finishing, the self-proclaimed goddess grabbed a piece of fried frog meat from my plate as I watched her with worried eyes.
