"Thieves have various skills—like sensing enemies and hiding. But my specialty is this. I'll show you. Watch closely."

Chris—standing in an isolated alley, turned to Roy with a playful grin and extended her hand towards him.

Roy could clearly see her rather "disappointing" figure. With her short white hair and black bandeau, she had the body of a young girl.

"Go ahead, Chris-san," he said with a chuckle and a nod.

Chris didn't waste any time and shouted—"Steal!"

A bright light enveloped her hand.

Roy could feel a strange power trying to affect him, but he didn't resist.

Instead, he focused the power on the ordinary sword at his waist.

He didn't want her to steal anything important.

In the next moment—the sword appeared in Chris's hand.

"Whoa! It's Roy's sword!" Megumin exclaimed.

This skill was quite something.

If someone stole her staff during battle, she would be doomed.

"This is the Thief skill, Steal! If it's successful, you can take anything from your target. Amazing, right?" Chris explained with a smug grin, then returned the sword to Roy.

"It is quite impressive," Roy admitted, then learned the Steal skill through his adventurer card.

Once he learned it, it felt like an instinct, something he could do effortlessly.

"Steal!"

Roy reached out towards Chris with his hand.

He could feel the skill's power probing Chris, and he realized he could actually control what it targeted.

This was amazing.

While others could only steal random items, he could choose his target. He could steal anything he wanted!

He focused his mind, and a soft object materialized in his hand.

Roy smirked, feeling the soft fabric.

Chris suddenly blushed and covered her shorts, glaring at him with embarrassment.

"Eh? What did you steal, Roy?" Aqua asked, curious.

"Ahem... it seems I made a mistake. I didn't steal anything," Roy coughed, quickly putting the stolen item in his pocket.

Chris, hearing this, didn't reveal that her panties had been stolen. It was too embarrassing.

"Oh, that's too bad. It seems this skill isn't that easy to learn," Megumin said, relieved.

"It just takes practice. Anyway, let's head back to the guild and celebrate Darkness joining our party," Roy said, quickly changing the subject.

He didn't want Chris to blurt out that he had stolen her panties.

"Okay!" Aqua and Megumin readily agreed.

Darkness and Chris, with a slight blush, also nodded.

....

Back at the guild hall, they sat down at a table.

Roy noticed that Chris was acting a bit strange. It was probably because she wasn't wearing any panties and the chair was cold.

He couldn't help but smirk.

Chris, noticing his amusement, glared at him.

They chatted and got to know each other better. Aqua and Megumin welcomed Darkness to the party.

Suddenly, an announcement echoed through the guild hall.

"Emergency quest! Emergency quest!" Luna's voice boomed through the loudspeakers.

"All adventurers, please gather at the main gate immediately! I repeat, all adventurers, please gather at the main gate immediately!"

The adventurers in the hall were confused but still headed towards the town gate.

The entire town was in a commotion as the residents also heard the announcement.

Roy chuckled.

The cause of this chaos was... cabbages.

These cabbages, not wanting to be eaten, had become sentient and were migrating across mountains and lakes, seeking a peaceful place to die.

And now, they had arrived at Axel, the town of novice adventurers.

The adventurers' task was to capture these cabbages.

But these weren't ordinary cabbages.

They could fly at high speeds, and their impact was strong enough to injure or even kill a person.

Ordinary adventurers couldn't stop them.

....

This was a town for novice adventurers. Most of them weren't very strong.

In the original story, if Megumin hadn't used Explosion magic, the adventurers would have been wiped out. No one could stop the flying cabbages.

But using Explosion came with a heavy price.

These cabbages were actually delicious and valuable.

A single cabbage was worth ten thousand Eris.

And there were thousands of them heading towards the town.

....

Roy, Aqua, Megumin, Darkness, and Chris arrived at the town gate.

"Give... give it back..." Chris hissed, approaching Roy with a flushed face.

She was demanding the return of her stolen panties.

"Chris, did I take something from you?" Roy asked innocently with a smile.

Chris puffed out her cheeks and glared at him.

This guy was pretending that nothing had happened! How shameless!

Chris was also a mischievous girl who wasn't afraid of embarrassment.

In the original story, she had even publicly revealed that her panties had been stolen. But since no one else knew about it yet, she was too embarrassed to say anything now.

But Roy couldn't push her too far. If she decided to expose him, it would be troublesome.

"Ahem... Chris, don't worry. After we complete this quest, come to the inn and I'll return it to you," he promised.

"Really?" Chris looked at him skeptically.

"Of course! I wouldn't lie to you," Roy said with a sincere nod.

Chris rolled her eyes. Wasn't he the one who had just denied taking anything from her?

"Fine," she agreed reluctantly.

She couldn't reveal her secret here with so many adventurers around.

Roy smirked.

This goddess was quite naive.

Just then, the adventurers gasped.

Even Megumin couldn't help but strike a dramatic pose. "The storm is finally here!" she declared.

"Everyone, get ready! It's harvest time!" Aqua also exclaimed excitedly.

The cabbages had finally arrived.

They filled the sky, a green swarm flying towards the town.

They had black eyes and could even make sounds, making them look somewhat cute.

"Charge!" a bald adventurer shouted, and the adventurers rushed towards the cabbages.

Roy, Aqua, Megumin, Darkness, and Chris, however, didn't join the fray immediately.

"Everyone, the annual cabbage harvest has arrived! These cabbages are of excellent quality. Each one is worth ten thousand Eris!" Luna announced.

"So please try to catch as many as you can and bring them here!" She pointed at several large cages that had been prepared.

The adventurers cheered and rushed towards the cabbages with renewed enthusiasm.

"Roy-sama, please do your best!" Luna said to Roy, seeing that he wasn't moving.

"Don't worry, none of these cabbages will escape," Roy replied with a confident smile.

He glanced at Luna, who was now dressed more modestly.

"Roy, shouldn't we be doing something?" Aqua asked impatiently, seeing the other adventurers already catching cabbages.

Megumin and Darkness also looked at him questioningly.

"Don't worry, these cabbages aren't that easy to deal with. And they won't be able to catch them all," Roy explained.

The cabbages were hostile towards humans. Some even deliberately rammed into them.

As if to prove his point, a scream suddenly echoed from the battlefield.

An adventurer had been sent flying by a cabbage.

More and more screams followed.

The adventurers were gradually overwhelmed by the sheer number of cabbages.

Just then, Darkness couldn't take it anymore and charged into the fray.

She saw an adventurer lying on the ground, injured and unable to move, with more cabbages heading towards him.

"Danger!" she shouted, jumping in front of the adventurer.

Thud!

The cabbage slammed into her with tremendous force, but she only stumbled slightly.

Then, more cabbages rammed into her.

Roy sighed. Darkness's Masochistic side was acting up again.

He teleported to her side, swatting away the cabbages and pulling her into his arms.

"If you want to play 'M' games, I'll play with you back home. But I won't allow you to do anything reckless in public," he whispered in her ear.

Darkness nodded obediently—her face flushed with anticipation for the "games" Roy had promised her.
