-----------

I took a bite of the fried cabbage sold here.

- Why a simple cabbage can be so delicious. I don't get it, I really don't get it.

The cabbage hunting mission was over and the whole town started serving dishes made of cabbage.

It was a big profit, so in the end I joined the cabbage hunting mission too, but I still regretted it a little.

I didn't come to this different world to battle with cabbages.

Besides this Crusader loves to throw herself into the middle of a group of monsters for a few reasons.

Being a protective Crusader of the weak, the feeling of protecting the weak is stronger in her than in others. That may be a good thing, but.....

- Um...... Ah, the feeling of being ravaged by cabbages and monsters is unbearable.... I'm the only orthodox vanguard in this team, so don't hold back, use me as bait or shield. If need be, you can even cut me down as a sacrifice.... Ahhhhhh! Just, just imagining it made me tremble with excitement....!

Darkness' face was flushed as he trembled slightly.

..... That's what this girl is like.

A super masochist.

A quiet beauty like this, though she's just a pervert in my eyes.

- So, Kazuma. It's probably .... No, it's definite that I'll be a nuisance to you, so at such times, don't hold back and scold me fiercely. Please take care of me from now on.

An Archpriest who can use all kinds of healing spells, an Archwizard who can use the most powerful offensive spell.

And now a Crusader with a defense of steel.

If you only heard that, it would seem like the perfect team, but I feel that things will be more difficult for me in the future.

The cabbage hunting mission was over and the whole town started serving dishes made of cabbage.

It was a big win, so in the end I joined the cabbage hunting mission too, but I still regretted it a little.

I didn't come to this different world to hunt cabbage, I came to this world to kill the Demon King, when did my existence become so pitiful and insignificant, killing giant toads, chasing flying cabbages, a Goddess joke?

- However, you did well Darkness! As expected of a Crusader!  
Crusader! The cabbages couldn't get past your steel defense no matter what they did.

- No, I didn't do much, I'm just too tough. I'm clumsy and slow, so I can't hit my target, my only strength is protecting others.... Megumin has an impressive offense. You wiped out the horde of monsters that were chasing the cabbages into town with just one blast attack. All the other adventurers were amazed.

- Heh heh, no one can resist the power of my magical blast.... Still, Kazuma was the one who was most active. He picked me up after I spent all my mana and carried me back.

- .... Yes, when I was surrounded by cabbages and monsters, Kazuma appeared and captured all the cabbages attacking me, thanks for saving me.

- Indeed, eliminating your presence with "stealth", understanding the cabbage's movement with "detect enemy" and surprise them with "Steal" from behind. That was just like an exceptional assassin.

Aqua finally finished her cabbages and casually placed her plate on the table.

The useless goddess who chased the cabbages without any plan and didn't perform very well wiped her mouth elegantly and said:

- Kazuma... with my authority, I grant you the title of "elegant cabbage thief".

- Shut up! I'll hit you if you tell me like that! ...... ah enough, why did this happen!

I hugged my head and put it on the table.
What kind of world is this, wait I know, perfectly; one full of disappointments, of people useless because they waste their talent, after all they couldn't even catch a decent amount of cabbages without my help, with or without Demon King this world was already doomed.

- So...... My name is Darkness, I am a Crusader. Theoretically, my weapon is a two handed sword, but don't count on that too much. I'm clumsy with my hands and tend to miss. However, I'm good at being a tank, so please take care of me.

That's right, we officially have another partner.

Aqua smiled placidly, looking pleased.

-......fu fu, our team is getting great. I'm an Archpriest, Megumin is an Archwizard, and we have a defense and vanguard specialist, Darkness, the Crusader. 3 out of 4 members having high level jobs is rare, Kazuma! Do you realize how lucky you are? You have to be grateful, okay?

Yes, but she's a mage who can only use one spell per day, a tank who can't hit anything and a priest who is unlucky, dumb and totally useless!

During the cabbage hunting mission, Darkness, Aqua and Megumin became friends, so they wanted Darkness to join the team.

If she were normal, I would have no reason to reject her.

Plus she was a beauty.

But Darkness couldn't hit her target at all.

She is a beauty though...

She used all her skill points on defensive skills, so the common skills learned by those who go to the front like "two-handed sword" or skills that increase their proficiency with weapons were ignored.

Although at first glance she is a quiet beauty, in truth she is a waste.

Moreover, this Crusader loves to throw herself into the center of a group of monsters for a few reasons.

Being a protective Crusader of the weak, the feeling of protecting the weak is stronger in her than in others. That may be a good thing, but.......

- Um...... Ah, the feeling of being ravaged by cabbages and monsters is unbearable.... I'm the only orthodox vanguard in this team, so don't hold back, use me as bait or shield. If need be, you can even cut me down as a sacrifice.... Ahhhhhh! Just, just imagining it made me tremble with excitement....!

Darkness' face was flushed as he trembled slightly.

..... That's what this girl is like.

A super masochist.

A quiet beauty like this, though she's just a pervert in my eyes.

- So, Kazuma. It's probably .... No, it's definite that I'll be a nuisance to you, so at such times, don't hold back and scold me fiercely. Please take care of me from now on.

An Archpriest who can use all kinds of healing spells, an Archwizard who can use the most powerful offensive spell.

And now a Crusader with a defense of steel.

If you only heard that, it would seem like the perfect team, but I feel that things will be more difficult for me in the future.

But... Do I really have to complicate my future, am I lucky to have this trio of useless people by my side? No, I'm unlucky, I'm supposed to be very lucky.... wait a minute! this is my punishment for acting hot headed, I brought Aqua because she made fun of me and mainly to teach her a lesson, I let a mentally challenged Loli join my team and fell under her game due to my carelessness, and finally I let a pervert approach me, I should have played dumb at the time or just walked away.

The Satou Kazuma I know wouldn't have done that, I always lived being criticized because of my hikikomori lifestyle but I didn't care, I was made fun of, I let myself be blackmailed and let myself be led by appearance, all because of my impulses and insecurities.

I noticed that the girls stared at me because I didn't say anything and I remained pensive with a serious look on my face during their conversation.

- Is there something on my face?

Aqua spoke for all of them

- Well, I've never seen a HikiNeet with such a serious face before, so....

-I'm not Neet or a Hikikomori Useless Godness! I could say the same thing about you!

-Who are you calling useless, I'm a goddess, you should be thankful that I bothered to pay attention to your depressing face_!

-Ahhhh, I'm sick of this kind of nonsense talk, of this world full of disappointments, are you a goddess, then tell me how they let a demon king arise in the first place, the gods are supposed to oversee the worlds for their own good, what have you done for the sake of this world?!

I took a sharp intake of breath so that I could say the following as clearly, loudly and accurately as possible.

-I'll tell you what YOU have done for the "GOOD" of THIS WORLD!

I realized that I got the attention of everyone in the guild but by this point I didn't care anymore, because if I'm going to get a bad reputation, let it be the "bad" reputation I want, I'm going to be the guy who tells people his truths, they can criticize me all they want, I've already been singled out so much that at this point they aren't even original with their criticisms.

- I'VE ALREADY BEEN SINGLED OUT SO MUCH THAT AT THIS POINT THEY'RE NOT EVEN ORIGINAL WITH THEIR CRITICISMS: DRINKING ALCOHOL LIKE THERE'S NO TOMORROW UNTIL I THROW UP, THROWING TANTRUMS AND CRYING BECAUSE I DON'T FULFILL YOUR STUPID WHIMS, ACTING WITHOUT MEASURING THE CONSEQUENCES, GETTING ME IN YOUR PROBLEMS EVERY TIME YOU SCREW SOMETHING UP AND NOT EVEN THANKING ME, GETTING YOU IN DEBT IF I NEGLECT YOU FOR A FEW MINUTES AND FORCING ME TO PAY YOUR DEBTS.

By this point it goes without saying that Aqua was on the verge of tears and possibly a disconsolate cry, while Megumim and Darkness looked at me with horror and surprise at the brutality of my words.

-BUT WORST OF ALL, YOU SIMPLY ACT AS IF YOU HAVE NEVER BEEN RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL YOUR MISFORTUNES, YOU ONLY LIVE TO SATISFY YOUR SELFISHNESS, DO YOU REALLY THINK I SHOULD BE GRATEFUL FOR HAVING THE ATTENTION OF A "GODDESS" LIKE YOU?

I took another breath of air for the final blow.

-THE GREATEST MISFORTUNE OF MY LIFE HAS BEEN NONE OTHER THAN TO HAVE MET YOU!

-.......

Aqua didn't move from her seat to go crying as I thought and I noticed she was clearly shaking as she looked at her legs, Megumim and Darkness for some reason kept their heads down, avoiding looking me in the eyes.

Everyone in the guild looked at each other uncomfortably at my words, but no one dared to speak,

Honestly even I feel bad, I never imagined that I would say something even vaguely similar.

But... if I coldly analyze it nothing I said is a lie and it's what I think of her, still... the way I said it....

I didn't know what to do now, I turned to look at the other adventurers, but they avoided looking me in the eyes, ducked their heads or looked away... no one spoke or made any sound.

Silence... an eerie silence that no one dared to break.

I doubt very much that they will speak to me again for a while, I felt uncomfortable, I had ruined my relationship with Aqua, my new companions didn't have the courage to talk to me and I guess I won't be able to return to the adventurer's guild for a while.

So I resigned myself to walk towards Luna the receptionist who was looking at me with some fear, to ask:

-Excuse me Luna-san , I know it's not the right time, but could you tell me where I have to go to become a merchant?
