Chapter 117 The Giant Frog Performs Consistently
"Slaying giant frogs?"
The people who had gathered around saw the details of the mission and asked questions.
Shichen handed the scroll to Sato Kazuma, who dared not approach, and looked at Luna, waiting for an explanation.
"Yes." Luna nodded gently and explained professionally, "It's the breeding season for giant frogs. Their huge bodies are bigger than cows. Once they enter the breeding season, they want to replenish their energy to lay eggs, so they appear in human settlements where there is plenty of food. They can swallow a farm goat whole."
"A giant frog..." Shi Chen couldn't help but twitch his lips.
In this world, if there's anything that left a deep impression on him, the giant frog is definitely one of them.
Although he had never actually seen them, it did not prevent him from having a physical aversion to them.
"It's just a frog, is it that amazing?" Kazuma Sato asked ignorantly after reading the mission.
"Don't underestimate them!"
Luna emphasized with a serious expression, "Giant frogs can swallow a whole goat whole, so it goes without saying that they can swallow humans whole. In fact, every year during the breeding season of these frogs, children and farmers in the village often go missing."
"That scary?" Kazuma Sato was startled.
"Hmph! They're just big frogs. Watch me wipe them all out in no time!" Huihui said disdainfully.
"I told you not to underestimate them."
Luna said earnestly, "Although they look like just giant frogs, they are extremely dangerous monsters. The weak monsters that have been driven away from the town are no match for them. However, their meat is not bad. Although it is a bit tough, it has a light and refreshing taste and is a very popular ingredient."
"Huh? What the heck was that last line?" Kazuma Sato couldn't help but complain.
"Kazuma, have you never eaten a frog?" Toki asked him with a smile.
"No... I've never seen this kind of ingredient before."
"That's a pity, frog meat actually tastes quite similar to chicken."
"Is that so? Brother Shi, you've tried it?"
"Actually, I've never eaten this stuff, I've only heard that it's like this."
"What the hell?"
"Now that we're in this world, and this giant frog's meat seems to be a common food here, we might as well give it a try."
"That thing...is it really edible?"
"Don't worry about that," Luna assured her, "Food prepared by our guild's chefs is absolutely delicious!"
"No matter what, let's accept the mission first. This mission shouldn't be too difficult for us; Youyou can handle it on her own."
"Mistake? Is it...is that so?" Youyou became nervous.
"Trust me." Shi Chen moved his hand from Hui Hui's head to hers and patted it gently.
"I...I understand." Youyou pursed her lips, her little face serious.
"Mr. Shichen is right."
Luna smiled slightly and continued, "The giant frogs' thick layer of fat can withstand physical attacks, but they hate metal. So as long as you have enough equipment, you won't be preyed upon. For ordinary adventurers, they are easy targets. You're a mage, so it'll be even easier for you to deal with them."
"Is that so?" Youyou hesitated, becoming embarrassed.
"Don't worry, we won't let you solve everything." Shi Chen rubbed her head.
"Um."
"Then let's not delay, we'll accept this task."
"Okay, I wish you all the best in completing this task, Mr. Shichen."
"Thanks."
After accepting the quest, Shichen led everyone away from the guild and headed straight out of town to hunt down the giant frog.
The giant frog was not far away, on a wide plain not far from the inner city gate, and they saw it just as they left the town.
Just as its name suggests, it is indeed a giant frog, with no extra changes to its appearance except for a few more colors to its skin, namely red, yellow, blue, and green, just like the colors of the Calabash Brothers.
"Is that a giant frog? It doesn't seem like much of a threat?" Kazuma Sato said arrogantly, staring at the frog that was hopping around blankly.
"Indeed, I can take care of them all with one burst spell." Megumin nodded in agreement.
"Idiot." Shi Chen tapped her on the head. "Using explosion magic here will affect the town."
"How can I do that? I'll feel terrible if I don't use explosion magic!"
"If you feel uncomfortable, just hold it in!"
"Shichen, how could you do this? You're forcing me to endure it, preventing me from releasing my pent-up emotions. Are you a devil? What kind of play is this?"
"Shut up!" Shi Chen smacked her on the head hard in an annoyed tone.
"It hurts!" Huihui clutched her head and squatted down.
"Brother Shi, who is she...?" Sato Kazuma asked with a strange expression.
"Oh, I haven't told you yet. She only knows explosion magic. You could call her a die-hard fan of explosion magic. She doesn't know any other magic. She only knows a few auxiliary explosion magic spells. But don't worry, explosion magic is the strongest attack method that humans can use. Ordinary people can't learn it at all."
"But... what's the point?" Sato Kazuma immediately understood Megumin's limitations.
"Have you forgotten?" Shi Chen patted him on the shoulder: "We're a team, you know."
"what?"
"It's not like we're just letting her do all the work. Youyou knows intermediate magic and can learn advanced magic in the future. And Huihui is our trump card."
"I see, I understand now! I almost thought it was just because Brother Shi had a personal preference that he kept her by his side."
"Um?"
"Cough cough, there's nothing there."
"I was thinking of earning more money to get you a set of equipment, but it seems I don't need to."
"I'm sorry! Brother Shi, I was wrong, I will never dare to do it again!" Sato Kazuma knelt on the ground without any dignity and hugged Shi Chen's leg.
"Go away, I don't like being hugged by men."
"No, Brother Shi!"
"Don't worry, I was just kidding."
"Brother, you're so kind!" Sato Kazuma cried tears of joy.
"Alright, alright, I'm going to assign tasks now, get up."
Ignoring the listless Aqua, Toki said to Yuuyu, "Yuuyu, this time it's just the two of us going first. You know Megumin, and Kazuma doesn't have any equipment yet, so let's put in the effort for now."
"It's okay, we're a team," Youyou replied.
"Okay, Aqua, give Yuuyu some buffs later."
"Oh well."
"Don't take it so lightly. If you earn more money, you can drink more sparkling wine, eat better food, and sleep in a better bed, right?"
"That's right!"
"Then I'll leave it to you."
"No problem, leave it to me!" Aqua was energized.
"Okay, you guys stay here. Youyou and I will be right back, Youyou." Shichen reached out his hand to Huihui.
"Wrong! Oh... Oh." Youyou placed her little hand on Shichen's hand.
Shichen gripped his fist tightly, then disappeared from the spot with Youyou, reappearing on the other side of the giant frog.
"Oh! What is this? Instant teleportation?" Kazuma Sato asked excitedly.
"No, this is called spatial teleportation," Huihui explained.
"I'll learn it no matter what it's called!"
"Then take your time learning."
Boom!
Meanwhile, Youyou had already launched her attack.
"Fireball!"
*Snap!*
With just one fireball, one giant frog fell to the ground, and then the other giant frogs began to hop and flee.
"Wow! That's amazing! Keep it up!" Kazuma Sato shouted excitedly.
"Youyou, not bad! You have the flair of my little brother!" Huihui exclaimed smugly.
"Who's your little brother, Lightsaber?!"
Another giant frog fell to the ground.
Youyou's magic level is very high. Although it is intermediate magic, it is much more powerful than normal intermediate magic when he uses it.
After all, she was supposed to learn advanced magic soon, but due to the emergency, she had to sacrifice learning intermediate magic as an emergency measure.
She's really a good girl.
However, with her talent, she can learn advanced magic very quickly.
"lightsaber, fireball, fireball, light"
Saber (lightsaber).
Shichen wasn't idle either, recklessly casting intermediate-level spells, causing giant frogs to fall to the ground one after another.
"Shichen, you're amazing!" Youyou exclaimed excitedly.
"Hehe~ You can do it too in the future, let's hurry up and take care of them."
"good!"
Under the relentless bombardment of the two, the giant frogs were quickly reduced to few remaining, leaving behind a spectacular sight of frog corpses scattered all over the ground.
"This giant frog is way too easy to deal with! I want to take one down too!"
Just then, Aqua had a sudden lapse in judgment and acted on her own. A giant frog that was relatively close to her suddenly appeared. "Heh heh~ I'm going to put in some effort too, and show Tokiomi what I'm made of, so he'll buy me lots of sparkling wine! Take this, Divine Light Fist!"
"Aqua, wait..."
Tokiko didn't expect Aqua to suddenly want to show off, but it was too late to stop her.
A seemingly innocuous punch landed on the giant frog's belly without making a sound. Then, it lowered its head and swallowed the stunned Aqua whole.
"Ah! Aqua—!"
"Quick, save her!"
"Don't worry, lightsaber."
Shi Chen flashed to the giant frog's side and pierced it with a flash of light.
The giant frog fell to the ground, and Aqua slipped out of its mouth, but it was already covered in a sticky mess.
