Chapter 531 - 517: The Goddess’s Natural Enemy! Her Eternal Arch-Nemesis, the Giant Toad!

Chapter 531: Chapter 517: The Goddess’s Natural Enemy! Her Eternal Arch-Nemesis, the Giant Toad!

[ Sure enough, just as expected, after pushing open the door, Aqua didn’t even look around before rushing straight for the cabinet nearby. Upon seeing the Bubbly hanging inside, she immediately beamed with joy.

Kazuma’s vision went dark for a second, and he hurriedly warned, "Aqua, be a little more cautious, will you?!"

However, unable to hold back any longer, Aqua didn’t say a word and opened the cabinet, reaching her hand in. "This is it, right? It looks like good stuff!"

"Idiot, don’t touch things randomly..." Seeing that fool’s completely defenseless behavior, Kazuma instantly panicked.

The next moment, just as Aqua held the alcohol in her arms, the room’s alarm was triggered. Several infrared beams instantly surrounded everyone in the room, trapping them.

"This is trouble." Lieutenant Koenig tentatively placed his fountain pen on one of the infrared beams. It instantly snapped into two pieces; clearly, these infrared beams possessed an extremely powerful laser effect.

Lieutenant Koenig looked at the broken pen with cold sweat streaming down his face. "Say, this is completely aiming for our lives, isn’t it?"

When Kazuma looked at Aqua, he immediately put on a mask of pain. "Honestly, it’s all because you acted without using your brain that things turned out like this!"

But Aqua put on a look of total innocence. "That can’t be helped! Who knew there would be traps?" ]

[ .....]

〜Projection of All Worlds〜

"If wisdom had a color, it would definitely be blue... What a stag-nant goddess."

Everyone looked at Aqua with eyes full of admiration. Good lord... truly worthy of being you, forcefully elevating this simple wine-stealing mission to a difficulty level it shouldn’t have.

.....

〜Cautious Hero: The Hero Is Overpowered but Overly Cautious World〜

Watching Aqua’s swaggering behavior, Ristarte, a fellow goddess, felt her vision go dark.

"Can you have a little respect for your actions? YOU ARE STEALING... YOU ARE STEALING ALCOHOL—!"

Ariadoa smiled and handed a cup of black tea to the goofy, face-distorting goddess in front of her.

"Calm down, calm down. Goddess Aqua is just performing as usual."

She was already accustomed to Aqua screwing over whoever she teamed up with; after all, there weren’t many normal goddesses in the Divine Realm to begin with.

For example, the Goddess of the Bow, the War God Adenela, and the goofy Goddess Ristarte were in front of her. Goddesses, well, those who know, know... they always have some minor issues.

Ristarte nodded as if she understood, then slowly lifted the teacup and took a gentle sip. Her expression shifted from agitation to soothing tranquility; this Goddess of Healing was, in turn, healed.

〜Detective Conan World〜

Watching the fountain pen snap in two just from touching the infrared beam, even Kaitou Kid’s breathing became rapid and disordered, fine beads of sweat appearing on his forehead.

"Are you sure what’s hidden there is alcohol?! Not the Koh-i-Noor Diamond or something?!"

No, it should be said that even the security for the Koh-i-Noor Diamond isn’t as outrageous as yours!

Kid suddenly felt somewhat fortunate that the security in his world was relatively normal. Otherwise... the Headless Horseman might see him repeatedly jumping back and forth across the Sanzu River every day.

Good lord, what kind of infrared alarm is this? That is clearly a laser beam. Just for alcohol, isn’t your security level a bit excessive?!

〜Spy x Family World〜

Even the knowledgeable and experienced Twilight had his eyes opened wide at this moment, his gaze becoming somewhat unfocused.

"Say, would anyone really set up such dangerous traps for a few bottles of wine..."

This alarm device wasn’t for warning at all; it was clearly designed to kill, and the one-hit-kill kind at that.

Thinking of this, Twilight shook his head helplessly... For a few bottles of wine, isn’t the setup cost a bit too high?! Is it really worth it just for some alcohol?

.....

[ However, this wasn’t the time to argue. Aqua soon discovered an exit to the side, but she was hurriedly stopped by Lieutenant Koenig. "There shouldn’t be a door there originally!"

As he spoke, the Lieutenant threw the remaining half of his fountain pen over. Following a distortion in space, a large mouth instantly swallowed the pen into its belly.

This somewhat horrifying scene immediately scared Aqua into tears. "Kazuma, it’s a monster! It’s a monster!"

Looking at Aqua, who didn’t even remember how many doors there were, Kazuma couldn’t help but retort, "Aqua, is there really nothing wrong with your memory?"

Subsequently, relying on superb acrobatic skills, the group dodged layer after layer of traps, finally succeeding in cutting the room’s alarm system, only then breathing a sigh of relief.

Aqua, still somewhat shaken, had a worried look on her face. "Stop chatting, let’s get out of here quickly!"

The next second, the mural originally hanging on the wall fell to the ground, and giant frogs leaped out from the hole one by one. ]

[ .....]

〜A Certain Magical Index World, Academy City〜

"It’s over... The one true god, the Giant Frog, the lifelong enemy of Kazuma’s party, the Goddess’s nemesis, has appeared."

Misaka Mikoto despaired at this; they couldn’t win at all. The Giant Frog was destined by nature to counter Kazuma’s party.

"One, two... four of them! This is in the bag."

Kuroko silently counted the number, her eyes revealing a confident light, a calm smile hanging on the corner of her mouth.

"There are four Aqua-catchers, but Kazuma and the others have five people. The number of baits is just right."

The formula for victory is set! As long as the Giant Frogs are swallowing the other four people, Kazuma can take action during the moment they are immobile while swallowing!

After all, that was how Kazuma subjugated the Giant Frogs before. Whether Kazuma’s party can win depends on whether there are enough teammates to feed the Giant Frogs’ mouths.

.....

[ "WHAT IS THIS—!" Kazuma subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva. "Giant Frogs, monsters from our world."

"Are they strong?" Lieutenant Neumann asked tentatively. After all, their strength was limited; if they had to use guns, they would have to consider how to escape.

Kazuma was instantly stumped, not knowing how to answer for a moment. "Very... not strong..."

"In that case!" Knowing it was just a weak chicken monster, Lieutenant Neumann threw a punch directly, smashing heavily onto the Giant Frog’s body.

Kazuma then added a sentence, "But they are immune to impact damage..."

You should have said that earlier!... Just as Lieutenant Neumann wanted to retort, he was bitten by the Giant Frog, and it tilted its head back, attempting to swallow him.

"Neumann! Grantz!" Lieutenant Koenig looked with grief at the two who were already in the frogs’ mouths. ]

[ .....]

〜Projection of All Worlds〜

"The title of Goddess Nemesis isn’t just blown up; it’s earned through fighting. Even the God Blow is useless."

Seeing this, everyone could only spread their hands and wish them good luck...

It couldn’t be helped. The monsters in Kazuma’s world all had some special abilities: either magic immunity or physical immunity. They were annoying as hell to fight!

.....

〜Saga of Tanya the Evil World〜

"Who taught you to speak like that? Don’t take huge pauses when talking!"

Lieutenant Neumann’s mouth twitched slightly as he looked at himself already in the Giant Frog’s mouth.

Immunity to impact damage is such important intelligence, Kazuma; you should have said it earlier! You made me rush up like a fool with a sliding tackle just to feed myself to it.

Although being swallowed isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but...! He isn’t Darkness; he doesn’t want to experience the slimy, foul-smelling liquid inside a Giant Frog’s mouth!

〜KonoSuba: God’s Blessing on This Wonderful World〜

In the Divine Realm space, Goddess Eris also gave an awkward smile upon seeing this.

"Although the goofy Giant Frogs look cute, their strength is terrifying. They are quite dangerous monsters."

The Giant Frog’s tongue is ten meters long and extremely fast. Especially during the breeding season, they will go to human villages to capture livestock and even humans.

Some novice adventurers are also deceived by the Giant Frog’s goofy appearance and, due to negligence, quite a few get eaten and then digested alive.

Therefore, people who die at the hands of Giant Frogs generally leave behind deep psychological trauma, and they all choose to refuse reincarnation into this world, which sometimes causes them great distress as well.

.....

[ "This is bad, we’re going to be wiped out at this rate!" Kazuma looked at the two who were already bitten and got anxious.

"Yeah, but..." Lieutenant Koenig took a deep look at the Bubbly placed on the sofa, his eyes becoming determined. "This is the only thing we must defend to the death, no matter what!"

Hearing this, Kazuma immediately analyzed the situation before him. The current situation wasn’t too bad.

"There are only 4 Giant Frogs. As long as there are two more sacrifices, and the survivor defends this bottle of wine to the death... maybe we can succeed!"

Lieutenant Koenig immediately looked at Kazuma. "As long as one person survives, the mission is a success."

Kazuma nodded in tacit agreement. "Yeah, I’ll leave the rest to Aqua!"

Aqua, holding the wine bottle, was instantly deeply moved and looked ahead with great reluctance. "Kazuma..."

"This is a man’s job!" Lieutenant Koenig also made up his mind. "Wait until we successfully escape, then everyone will toast and celebrate together!"

Aqua was so moved that she was about to cry. "Long-faced person!"

"My name is Koenig!" After saying that, he rushed towards the Giant Frog without hesitation. "Don’t worry about me, you guys run!"

"Ah~~" As expected, he didn’t even last a second before being bitten in the mouth by the Giant Frog.

Seeing this, Aqua cried out in grief, "LONG-FACED PERSON—!" ]

[ .....]

『 Viewers of Countless World 』

Everyone in the other worlds was left laughing and crying by Aqua’s cry of ’Long-faced person’... It was clearly just stealing a bottle of wine, but why did it feel so tragic all of a sudden?

.....

〜Saga of Tanya the Evil World〜

"Long-faced person... Didn’t I just say it? I’m Koenig, KOENIG—!"

Lieutenant Koenig listened with his face full of black lines, staring at the useless goddess.

I’ve been so good to you guys, yet you still call me that. If I didn’t know you were silly, I’d suspect you were doing it on purpose.

"Sigh..."

Lieutenant Neumann sighed deeply. He had understood the difficulties of Kazuma’s party. He would absolutely not team up with them next time!

After all, the atmosphere just now became weird after Kazuma said that. No wonder Koenig got hot-blooded and rushed up.

〜Type-Moon World, Fifth Holy Grail War Worldline〜

"Experience tells me Kazuma is up to no good..."

Emiya Shirou looked at the screen where Kazuma was preparing to sacrifice himself heroically and instantly felt a bad premonition rising.

According to Kazuma’s normal principles of conduct, if he encountered an existence he decided he couldn’t beat, he wouldn’t bother stalling; he would have run away smoking long ago.

But at this time, Kazuma actually didn’t sell out his teammates. It was simply a miracle among miracles.

Red A added silently,

"The most critical point is that he actually said he’d leave the rest to Aqua! The problem is his attitude towards Aqua... Heh."

Hearing this, Illya stared blankly at the screen.

"At a time like this, Kazuma wouldn’t be thinking of running away, right?"

That long-faced person had sacrificed himself heroically; the atmosphere had reached this point! If he ran away now, wouldn’t that be a bit too inhumane!

But if Scum-zuma acts inhumanely, she doesn’t seem like she would be surprised. It’s just ridiculous...
