Pirate: My partner is too crooked

Just by catching a few giant frogs, everyone exposed all their own shortcomings.

After working for most of the day until sunset, they encountered no fewer than ten giant frogs, but only three were pitifully few that could be used to complete the commission.

On the other hand, except for Kangna who occasionally hiccupped, Aqua, Uta, and Escanor, who had returned to being timid and inferior, were all wet, covered in sticky toad saliva, and looked quite miserable.

To make matters worse, Meow Meow, Brooke, and King left the team unknowingly, causing them to no longer be favored by Lucky Haki.

The stupid goddess who lost her control gradually showed her bad luck. As a result, she wandered around the countryside for two hours without encountering the giant frog again!
"How about we go back first? It's so dirty. I really want to take a comfortable bath."

Uta's long red and white hair was mixed together, and strange mucus kept dripping from her body.

Although Aqua was able to clean it with water magic, it wasn't long before she was eaten by the damn frogs and tortured repeatedly.

Such a situation makes beautiful girls who love beauty feel resisted from the bottom of their hearts, and even have the idea of ​​becoming a pirate.

If you do the commission seriously, the money will come in too slowly!

Well, I can only say that she is worthy of being the daughter of the Four Emperors Shanks. This kind of thinking is quite strong...

"Miss Aqua, I think this is indeed the best way to deal with it at the moment. We are a little too far away from Axel City."

The scrawny Escanor weakly agreed.

The imagination is beautiful, but the reality is quite skinny - even with the skill blessing of the adventurer card, with his current almost negligible level, he can't even defeat a big frog!

"No! We have to catch at least eight more!"

Aqua, who was best at giving up halfway, had an extremely determined look on her face right now.

When they first set out, in order to show the adventurers the majesty of the water goddess, she boasted that she could catch ten giant frogs with just a few shots.

If you give up now, won't you be looked down upon by those bastards when you go back?
Compared to showing off, it was obvious that what she valued more was the reputation that Lin Zhi evaluated as "useless"!

In Aqua's willfulness, several people went very smoothly...

I walked a few miles in vain.

After finally catching a nest of lost giant frogs, Escanor and Uta's remaining energy had been exhausted, and they could only stand helplessly not far away and watch.

A certain stupid goddess who had been injected with chicken blood was full of energy and ran over to serve as food for the giant frog.

"Ugh……"

Looking at the familiar scene of two legs jumping outside, Escanor and Uta sighed repeatedly.

Just as they were about to drag their tired bodies forward to rescue, the buzzing sound of tracks walking on the grass suddenly came from behind.

Looking back, it was a crawler robot with a slightly rough workmanship. The robotic arm extending outside looked a bit like a crane.

"Everyone, after a long wait, the real master is now here, meow!"

In the transparent cab, sat the three Meow Meows who had disappeared inexplicably.

"The next step is harvest time, yo ho ho ho~"

Brooke, who was sitting on the left side, looked at the operating platform in front of him and looked quite excited.

The king on the right is still expressionless and silent.

What happened was that after realizing that the team could not complete the commission through conventional means.

Miao Miao very sensibly chose to quit temporarily, took King and Brooke to the city's garbage dump, and used various discarded steel materials to build this crawler robot specially designed to catch giant frogs.

Needless to say, Meow Meow is definitely an expert among experts when it comes to catching wild animals!
(Actually, if you have this skill, there is no need to come here to catch frogs...)
"Okay, what a cool mecha! Meow, did you build this?!"

The strange thing that he had never seen before made Uta's eyes burst out with little stars.

When she first joined the Sea Restaurant, she had to face a battlefield of the level of the Kingdom of God, and she hadn't even had time to appreciate the various high technologies created by Miaomiao.

"It seems that Plan B was successfully accomplished."

Escanor wasn't surprised at all.

In fact, if he hadn't been worried about the safety of Aqua and the two little girls, he would have run away with Miaomiao and the others.

"Hey, little meow, what's the name of this machine?"

Kangna walked closer with small steps, and looked at the crawler robot curiously with her purple dragon eyes.

"Hmm, I named it Giant Frog Scratch!"

Meow Meow, who was sitting in the cockpit, looked proud and quite satisfied with this overly straightforward name.

"Well……"

Kangna, who just thought this thing was super cool, instantly lost interest in researching it.

"Hahaha, it's really a model that you can understand immediately upon hearing it."

Escanor followed, "So how does this machine work?"

"Hehe, then you should take a good look at the powerful performance of this giant frog, meow!"

"Brooke, please press the red button in front of you, meow."

Hearing this, Miao Miao narrowed his eyes slightly, showing an unpredictable expression.

"Is this it? Then I'll press it."

After receiving the instruction, it was the first time for Brooke to control this thing with his own hands, and he couldn't help but be a little excited.

After briefly sorting out his emotions, Sen Bai stretched out his finger bones and slowly pressed the nearest button.

call out!
The next second, the sound of machine gears was heard, and the position where Brooke was sitting quickly folded.

After a period of spinning, when Brooke opened his eyes again (even though it was just a skeleton), his vision had changed from the closed cockpit to the spacious and open grassland outside.

A strong hemp rope tied the skeleton's body tightly - he was actually hung on the mechanical arm of the crawler robot!
"Wait, wait, what operation is this?"

Brooke suddenly had a bad feeling.

"A giant frog shouldn't have any resistance to bones, right?"

Meowth smiled sinisterly, "Brooke, I'm asking you to be the necessary bait Meowth."

"Dogs don't have the slightest resistance to bones, you bastard!" Brooke felt a little embarrassed.

It turns out that there was such a conspiracy behind the warm invitation for me to come up and experience it!

The despicable smelly cat, even if he is an old man, he still has a temper, right? !
King, who was sitting on the right, still had no expression on his face. He just moved his buttocks in the operating position quietly.

Meowth pushed the lever harder amid Brooke's screams of futile protest.

The engine roared, and the giant frog loaded with "bait" immediately headed towards the nearest giant frog.

Brooke, hanging at the end of the robotic arm, shook up and down, successfully attracting the giant green frog.

His strong hind legs kicked off the ground suddenly, and while jumping high, he stuck out his flexible tongue and swallowed Brooke up in one gulp with precision.

No, this thing really eats bones, right?

Seeing the prey taking the bait, Meow Meow decisively pressed the capture button.

The next second, the robotic arm quickly retracted, and after pulling out the mucus-covered Brook from the mouth of the giant frog, the barrel hidden at the bottom created an iron net, and the giant frog was easily captured!
"Wow! It's so simple?!" Uta couldn't help but exclaimed as he looked at the giant frog struggling in the special iron net.

In such a comparison, their previous efforts suddenly became worthless.

"Uta, this is the power of the creator profession, nya."

"...That's something you already have!"

"At this rate, there should be no problem in completing the ten goals set by Aqua." Escano commented seriously.

"Speaking of Aqua, where is she? Why haven't you seen her, meow?"

As Miao Miao asked a surprised question, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly fell into a mysterious silence.

correct! Aqua!

Escanor reacted secretly to Uta.

When he was about to run over to rescue him, he saw Aqua, who had been swallowed by the giant frog before. She was holding her knees with her hands and squatting on the ground in despair, covered in saliva.

Next to him were the giant frog corpses that had already cooled down, and Kangna, who kept poking the frog's belly with her fingers to confirm whether it was alive or dead.

At the critical moment, the sensible dragon cub has to take action.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Although they did not think that Aqua, as a goddess, would die in her own world, in the end, it was still a near miss.

But after doing this, it seemed that there was something wrong with the idiot goddess's mental state.

No matter how his friends talked to him, they all had listless eyes.

"It's over, I'm done. As a goddess, I was swallowed by a big, dirty and ugly frog."

"I'm done, completely done."

Aqua murmured to herself, her eyes full of wisdom no longer agile, replaced by incomparable bleakness.

Coupled with the indescribable strange saliva on his body, the whole picture looks quite easy to misunderstand.

Miaomiao and others had never seen Aqua like this before, so they had no choice but to interrupt their vigorous plan to make a fortune and take her back to Axel City first.

"It's a pity that I couldn't verify whether muscular men are in the giant frog's diet, Meow." Meow sighed in a low voice.

King caught the sigh and raised his eyebrows: Good guy! You damn meow are really planning to eject me too!
Fortunately, I have you, Aqua!

The people who were drifting away did not notice that under a big tree not far away, a pair of eyes exuding endless desire was staring at them!

……

Back in Axel City, the sky has completely darkened, and the bustling streets have returned to calm.

Fortunately, the slimy and embarrassed look on everyone's bodies was not noticed.

Fortunately, the lights of the Adventurer's Guild were still on. In addition to the dedicated administrator Luna, there were a few adventurers here and there who were drinking and celebrating today's harvest.

After counting the number of commissioned giant frogs, Luna was very happy and paid off the bounty on the spot.

"Speaking of which, what exactly have you experienced? Why does Miss Aqua look a little not right?"

After finishing her business, Luna, who was leaning on the front desk with one hand, looked at Aqua and asked curiously.

"To be honest, we did encounter a little setback."

Escanor pushed up his ugly glasses on the bridge of his nose and briefly explained what happened.

"I see, it's okay. Being eaten by a giant frog is quite normal for a novice adventurer."

Luna raised her head slightly and looked away from Escanor to fall on the emo goddess, "For other people, usually they will be fine after drinking some wine and sleeping. I just don't know about Miss Aqua..."

drink wine?

drink!

The two words that were spoken carelessly exploded deep in Aqua's head like a source of life.

In an instant, the out-of-focus pupils of the emo goddess returned to normal, and the soul that had fallen into the abyss was successfully awakened.

"Drink, drink! After working hard all day, of course it's time to have a nice drink!"

Just like that, all the bounty that had not been warmed turned into sparkling wine and flowed into the stomachs of Aqua and other adventurers.

——When it comes to drinking, it must be enjoyable if everyone drinks together!

The alcoholic goddess cheered up and said this.

Although a little reluctant, Miaomiao and the others had no intention of stopping Aqua.

At this moment, they only have one thought in their minds: Man, ah no, it would be great if God came back.

As for money, they don't have to worry too much as they have giant frogs to grab the numbers. They can just earn it back tomorrow at most!

So, under Aqua's unique and eye-catching performance of flowers, birds, wind and moon, Uta and Brooke played music, and everyone happily enjoyed the long-lost lively banquet.

Unfortunately, happy times are always short-lived.

Aqua, who ran to the alleyway and vomited a rainbow, and the familiar stable home, still made Miaomiao and others realize the cruelty of reality.

Tomorrow, I must stay in a hotel with an incredibly soft bed!

at the same time.

Under the cover of the dark night, the headless knight Beldia, a cadre of the Demon King's army, rode the same headless black horse and led a group of demon subordinates to the outskirts of Axel City smoothly.

After some searching, Beldia found an abandoned castle with no inhabitants.

The task given to him by the new Demon King was to go to the area around Axel City, the novice village, to investigate a team of newcomers who looked very strange at first glance.

As an upright and noble knight (as he calls himself), Beldia has no interest in bullying the weak.

But he had no way to refuse the Demon King's order. He could only pretend to be here and bring his men here for vacation and fishing.

He was very satisfied with the scale of the abandoned castle and immediately decided to use it as a temporary base to secretly observe Axel City.

In this way, a group of demons moved into the abandoned castle in a mighty and fair manner.

Beldia, who loves cleanliness very much, raised his arms and worked with his subordinates to clean the castle covered with spider silk until it was spotless.

After finishing all this, Beldia poured a glass of wine with satisfaction and enjoyed the wonderful night.

……

The next day, the confident seven-person team gathered again and headed towards the suburbs of their dreams.

However, before they could leave the city gate, a beautiful woman in armor suddenly appeared from the street and blocked their way.

"I'm very sorry, although it's a bit abrupt to ask this, but you should be going to catch the giant frogs in the suburbs, right?"

The beautiful woman with a swaying golden ponytail and an almost exaggerated figure had a blushing face, weird eyes, and strange, heavy breaths coming out of her mouth.

"Please be sure, Huhu, to let me join, Huhu, your team!!" (End of Chapter)
