"Crunch crunch~"
"What kind of fruit is this? How can it be so delicious?"
"There's a special energy in the food."
Velzard, on the other hand, noticed this more. "To be able to integrate laws into food, what an interesting idea."
"Hmm?"
Darkness looked at the two women eating heartily. She was a little confused by Velzard's words.
"Don't overthink it. When we go back tonight, I'll tell you everything you want to know."
Rin was already preparing to turn Darkness into his Dependent.
With his current strength, there was no need to care about the strength of his Dependents.
Darkness was his teammate he met in the Konosuba World.
And privately, the two of them had played quite a bit, even being just a step away from the final stage.
Just based on this relationship, Rin couldn't possibly let Darkness go.
What's more...
Rin felt that Darkness's aptitude was not bad. Maybe there would be some surprises.
The benefits people from different worlds can gain after reincarnating into the Cardinal World vary from person to person.
How terrifying was Darkness's soul strength?
It was a bug-like tenacity that almost made even hell demons break down from anger.
Just based on willpower, Rin felt that Velzard might not even be able to compare to her.
And for such a person, once she arrived at the Cardinal World, Heaven knew what kind of skills the Voice of the World would bestow upon her.
"Rin, this sparkling wine is super awesome!"
"If it's good, drink more."
Rin was not stingy at all, directly shouting to Luna, "Over here, another pitcher of sparkling wine!"
A pitcher was twelve glasses, which was enough for Rimuru to enjoy herself.
When eating and drinking, Rimuru and Rin would not use any abilities.
Especially when drinking alcohol, if they couldn't experience that tipsy feeling, wouldn't it be a waste to drink it?
"Hahaha…"
"This, this is the Otherworld life I dreamed of!"
So very quickly, Rimuru's cheeks were flushed, and she was even slurring her words.
"This place is great, isn't it?"
"Ah, I love it here so much!"
Rimuru was very satisfied with this vacation, and she finally calmed down some of her resentment towards Rin for running off without taking her along.
"Tomorrow, I'll take you to a hot spring resort."
"Really?!"
Although Monster Nation had hot springs, how could that compare to a tourist vacation?
"So…"
Velzard said, "Are you really just here to play?"
"Is there anything wrong with that?"
Rin put his arm around Velzard and laughed, "Why so serious?"
They already possessed endless life.
If they couldn't find things to make themselves happy, how would they pass these long years?
"I can't do anything with you…"
Velzard sighed helplessly.
Velzard, who was determined to be a good older sister who doted on her younger brother, immediately showed a satisfied smile. "Another pitcher of sparkling wine!!"
"Oh oh oh!!"
Rimuru and Rin cheered when they saw this.
Even Darkness was caught up in the atmosphere and started to drink with the three of them.
Finally, Rin even stepped on a stool, raising his sparkling wine high. "Everyone, look over here!!"
"Rin?"
"It's Rin!"
"Could it be that that's coming again?"
Seeing Rin's actions, the Adventurers present had already anticipated what was about to happen.
"No more words...
All consumption in the house today will be on my tab!"
"Oh oh oh oh!!"
"Rin, I love you~"
"Rin! Rin! Rin!"
"…"
As expected of the Konosuba World, it was full of comedic characters.
Even Velzard got to know many female Adventurers during the subsequent banquet.
Not to mention Rimuru.
If Great Sage hadn't kept her in check, that girl would probably have reverted to her original form and started acting cute.
Happy times passed quickly, and before they knew it, Rin had already spent an afternoon playing with Rimuru at the Guild.
"Bang!!"
As evening arrived, accompanied by the Adventurers Guild's door being forcefully pushed open...
Two figures, supporting each other, walked in.
"Ugh! Pfft!!"
An Adventurer drinking by the door suddenly changed his expression, then spat out a mouthful of wine.
"Cough, what's that smell?"
"It stinks!"
"Eww~"
Soon, everyone saw the two figures walking in against the blood-red sunset.
They were Sato Kazuma and Aqua, who had been working on construction sites since they transmigrated to the Otherworld.
However, compared to their usual fatigue, their current state was even more miserable.
"Drip, drip~"
Both of them were covered in foul-smelling slime, and with every step, they left a sticky footprint on the floor.
"Gulp!"
This scene truly frightened everyone in the Guild.
Even Rimuru, next to Rin, widened her eyes in surprise.
"That, that…"
Luna was indeed a top-tier receptionist. Even facing such a scene, she still suppressed her disgust and walked forward. "Excuse me, Kazuma-san and Aqua-san, do you need any help?"
"No, we're fine."
Kazuma pulled out a wet request form from his pocket and handed it to Luna.
The latter immediately felt a shiver down her spine.
However, her professional ethics as a receptionist forced her to reach out and take the request form.
That sticky feeling made Luna feel completely unwell. "Is, is it the giant frog subjugation quest? Um, I, I'll review it for you now…"
Saying that, Luna walked with stiff steps towards the counter.
As for Kazuma and Aqua...
Everyone took several steps back, distancing themselves from the two of them.
"What's going on?"
"Were they eaten directly by a monster?"
"Wow, how scary!"
"Don't say such things, you'll have nightmares!"
"…"
Listening to the discussions of the people around them, Rimuru and Velzard looked at Rin together, only to hear him transmit through telepathy, "These two are the protagonists of this world, Sato Kazuma, and the Water Goddess Aqua!"
