Chapter 375: Return

Roa thought for a moment and said, "About a week. I should be able to handle it in a week."

Orsted said "Oh" softly and didn't say anything more.

Orsted's silence didn't mean that Roa had nothing to say. Roa directly asked, "I'm leaving my family to you. If the Human God wants to attack during this time, he will definitely start with them. They are very important to me. I'm counting on you."

Orsted nodded calmly and simply said "Oh."

Roa smiled helplessly, turned around, and waved his hand. "Then I'm leaving."

Roa started walking slowly into the distance.

Orsted watched Roa leave. He didn't speak. After Roa left, the world seemed to be much quieter.

"I wonder what kind of secrets you're hiding." Orsted's eyes flickered as he silently watched the gloomy sky in the distance, muttering to himself.

…

Deep in the forest, rain washed over the ground. Stepping on the muddy ground, Roa opened the system panel.

It was still the familiar place. In front of him, in this forest, was a crooked-neck tree.

Needless to say, the trees were all bare, since winter solstice had just passed. It was impossible for new buds to grow.

Roa stood under the crooked-neck tree and opened the system panel.

Returning the time to its original ratio, Roa clicked "Teleport Again."

Compared to the previous intense feeling of weightlessness, this time was much better.

With a blink of an eye, the world changed dramatically.

Roa came to his senses and began to look around.

Needless to say, the world he teleported to was "Konosuba: God's Blessing on This Wonderful World!".

Roa stood in a barren land, looking at the surrounding environment, and thought for a moment.

He didn't have any information about this place in his mind. Roa didn't know where he had been teleported to.

The shackles and restrictions of this world were gone. Roa could use nearly 70% of his strength.

There were still slight restrictions on magic power and divine power, but there wasn't much impact on other things, such as his dragon blood abilities.

This meant that Roa's most powerful close-combat abilities hadn't been weakened at all.

Moment + Sword of Light was enough to erase everything he saw before him.

This naturally included the Demon King.

Magic power gathered under his feet, and black threads surged into the distance like a tide, spreading in all directions from Roa's center.

Soon, Roa knew his location.

He wasn't far from the Demon King's castle. Strictly speaking, this area belonged to the territory occupied by the Demon King.

And now, Roa had two options in front of him.

First, he could speedrun the Demon King's castle alone and kill all the Demon King's executives.

Second, he could speedrun the Demon King's castle with Aqua and the others.

Bringing Aqua could involve him in the plot, and this large-scale change to the plot would definitely earn him a lot of space-time power and plot mission points.

After thinking for a moment, Roa decided to bring those idiots over step by step.

Honestly, his probability of speedrunning alone was 100%.

But after bringing those burdens, Roa felt that his probability of speedrunning would drop to 99%.

This was enough to show how powerful those pit-dwellers were.

With a level of power far exceeding this world's combat power, he still felt uneasy, which was enough to prove the destructive power of those pit-dwellers.

Although he vaguely had a bad feeling, he still had to bring them over for the sake of space-time power.

After understanding the cause and effect, Roa rose into the air and flew directly in one direction.

That direction was the direction of the starting village.

Roa planned to go there and pick them up to avoid any complications.

Roa was very fast. Even though the distance from here to the starting village was quite far, he still managed to reach it in three hours.

Familiar recipe, familiar walls, familiar air.

Roa took a deep breath, looked at the not-so-tall walls, and walked towards the town.

The town was bustling with noise, and the people were as lively as ever.

Far from the Demon King's army, this is the most remote countryside, where everyone lives a peaceful life.

The weather was clear today, and the time was around eleven o'clock in the morning. The midday sun shone unreservedly on this land.

The adventurers in the town stopped to salute when they saw Roa.

Roa was quite famous in this town. After all, he had killed so many monsters at the beginning, and then went to the Royal capital for further studies. It was only natural that he would have such a high reputation.

Roa nodded slightly in response to the greetings, casually replied a few words, and then left directly.

He had things to do now.

Following the memories in his mind, Roa arrived at his mansion ten minutes later.

This was a typical Central European-style villa, occupying a considerable area.

Of course, this house was Roa's property.

But for some reason, standing at the door and looking at the tightly closed house, Roa had a bad feeling.

Raising an eyebrow, Roa suppressed the bad feeling in his heart, pushed open the outer gate, and walked towards the courtyard.

The courtyard was messy and overgrown with weeds, which was completely different from Roa's previous impression of it.

Frowning slightly, a question arose in Roa's mind.

'Aren't Aqua and the others here?'

The courtyard looked like it hadn't been cleaned for a long time. If they were here, someone should have cleaned it, right?

With this thought in mind, Roa prepared to push open the door, but found that it was locked from the inside.

Roa thought for a moment, then put his hand on the doorknob again and casually said, "Steal."

The originally closed door opened in response.

Roa gently pushed open the door, but was immediately met with an unbelievably strong smell of alcohol.

The smell of alcohol spread continuously, and even standing at the door, he could clearly smell the pungent odor.

Roa's bad feeling intensified. With this ominous feeling, Roa walked through the entrance hall and into the living room.

The living room of Roa's mansion was very large, and the decoration was naturally very luxurious.

However, when Roa saw the scene in the living room, his brow twitched.

There was no other reason than that there were two people lying on the sofa in the living room.

Both of them were dead drunk, and the smell of alcohol was overwhelming.

Roa stood beside the sofa in a daze, not knowing what to say.

The two were asleep, and even though Roa was standing next to them, it was no use.

Moreover, they were sleeping very soundly, and probably wouldn't wake up for a while.

Roa's mouth twitched as he looked at the bottles and cans all over the table.

He reached out and picked up a bottle at random, and instantly recognized the price of the wine.

This was the one Aqua had been constantly talking about. Roa had heard Aqua say more than once that if she had money, she would definitely achieve wine freedom and drink the most expensive wine.

And this was the most expensive wine in this town.

One bottle was about three million Eris.

And there were five bottles of this wine on the table.

In addition to this ridiculously expensive wine, there were other bottles and cans mixed together.

Roa's mouth couldn't help but twitch as he looked at the girl lying on the sofa, hugging a wine bottle.

Who else could it be but Aqua?

Lying on the other sofa was Kazuma Satouu.

These two invincible people made a pair, which was really speechless.

Speaking of which, Roa could understand why Aqua would do such a stupid thing, but why would Kazuma Satouu, the only sober person in the room, also do such a thing?

And what about Megumin? What about Darkness?

Many mixed thoughts flashed through his mind, and Roa expressionlessly stretched out a hand, grabbed Aqua's azure long hair, and lifted Aqua directly from the sofa with a slight force.

Serious face.jpg.

Aqua felt a pain coming from her head. The goddess of wisdom woke up from her dream, but alcohol was still affecting Aqua's nerves, and her head was dizzy. According to Aqua herself, she especially liked the feeling of being drunk.

In a daze, Aqua muttered, "Kazuma, don't pull my hair, be gentle, let me down quickly."

Roa's mouth revealed a sneer: "As you wish."

"Eh, that's not Kazuma's voice." Although Aqua was a little delirious, she still noticed this.

But besides Kazuma, no one else would come here.

No, to be precise, there was one other person.

In an instant, Aqua's head became much clearer.

But at this moment, she would rather not know anything.

Aqua even felt cold sweat breaking out on her forehead.

She still closed her eyes, wanting to play dead.

What else could she say? She knew everything, but she just didn't want to admit it.

Roa coldly looked at this drunken, useless goddess in front of him, slowly walked to the living room, lifted Aqua to a certain height, and then let go.

With a thud, her butt made contact with the ground, and a pain shot straight into Aqua's head.

Aqua let out a scream, hugged her butt, and rolled around on the ground. Roa chuckled and said, "Aqua, what have you done?"

Aqua trembled all over, her expression stiffened, and she looked up to see Roa's gloomy face.

Without any extra nonsense, Aqua immediately put her hands together and made a standard dogeza, saying sincerely, "I'm sorry, I was wrong."

This attitude of admitting her mistakes in seconds was really speechless.

Roa didn't let Aqua off just because she apologized. Roa leaned down and smiled.

Aqua also showed a flattering smile.

Roa slowly reached out and grabbed Aqua's ear.

Aqua's smile began to stiffen.

Then there was a scream of pain that spread throughout the mansion.

It was quite lively for a while.

…

In the middle of the living room, Aqua, Megumin, and Kazuma Satouu sat together obediently.

Roa glanced at the three of them expressionlessly, and saw obvious guilt in their expressions.

Roa sighed helplessly: "If you know you're wrong, then don't do it!"

The three of them didn't say a word, not daring to refute.

Roa shook his head speechlessly, and looked at the state of the three of them. His original plan to set off today to quickly clear the Demon King's castle had failed.

He should let these guys rest for a day before talking about it. Going to subjugate the Demon King while they were so drunk was just adding trouble for himself.

He didn't expect that the biggest obstacle to subjugating the Demon King would be these pit-filling teammates.

For a moment, Roa even suspected that these people were spies sent by the Demon King, with the purpose of preventing Roa from smoothly subjugating the Demon King.

Roa didn't continue to dwell on this matter, but casually said, "Oh, right, there's something you need to do as a team tomorrow. This can be considered an opportunity for you to make up for your mistakes."

Hearing this, Aqua immediately stood up and expressed her attitude: "Don't worry, leave it to me. I will definitely complete the task perfectly."

Looking at Aqua's confident appearance, Roa couldn't help but feel a headache.

It's because of you guys that I'm not at ease.

Muttering a few words in his heart, Roa slowly said, "You should listen to what it is first before you speak."

Everyone's eyes fell on Roa, waiting for him to speak.

Roa smiled and said to everyone very seriously: "Tomorrow, um, I was originally planning to go today, but looking at you guys, I guess you won't be able to do it today, right? Cough, long story short, tomorrow I'll take you to subjugate the Demon King."

As soon as the words fell, everyone present fell silent.

Aqua, who was originally confident and full of confidence, also froze in place. Everyone was looking at Roa with an incredible look, as if to say: Are you kidding me?

And the next moment, Aqua said the expression written on her face.

"Are you kidding me? There's no way we can do that, right? Are you going to send me to my death because I dirtied your house?"

Kazuma Satouu rarely echoed: "Are we too weak right now?"

Only Megumin's eyes were shining, and her breathing was rapid. She muttered, "If, if I could release an Explosion magic in the Demon King's castle, hehehe."

These words quickly met with angry stares from the two of them. Aqua and Kazuma Satouu directly grabbed Megumin, preventing this idiot from thinking about going to her death.

Roa had expected that the others would react like this.

After all, after spending so many days together, Roa knew exactly what kind of personalities these guys had.

But knowing was one thing, but it was still quite a headache to face it.

Roa directly said, "I didn't expect you to be able to do anything. I know your strength." Speaking of this, Roa paused. This time, Roa's expression was unusually serious. The young man's cold golden pupils stared at the three people in front of him, and the young man's cold words sounded again.

"You don't need to do anything, I can do everything by myself."

At this moment, everyone present was silent.
