Chapter 27: Chapter 27
In the Gourmet World, Kei and Tina were searching for the Galala Crocodile on Baron Islands, while Binchotan was looking after the shop at the Gourmet Mall.
Meanwhile, in the distant world of Konosuba, the goddess Aqua had finally descended into the otherworld.
"Ahhhhhh! It's all your fault! All your fault! What do we do now? I want to go back! Aaaahhh!"
Aqua furiously shook the shoulders of the girl beside her, who had black hair, wore a tracksuit, and had an excited expression on her face.
"Seriously, this is why women are nothing but trouble."
Satou Kazuko looked at the frantic Aqua with a sly grin, as if she wasn't the one responsible for bringing the goddess down to this world. (TL: Looks like the author went for a genderbend Kazuma)
"If you want to go back, just go! I'm off to enjoy a wonderful life! The beautiful life of an otherworldly paradise, here I come!"
Kazuko couldn't wait to snuggle up with cute girls! Soft and sweet-smelling girls, it's amazing how good it feels to be close to them!
"I can't go back! If I could, I'd already be gone! Damn it!"
Aqua was on the verge of tears. She was just chatting in the group as usual, and then in the blink of an eye, she was thrown down from the Celestial Realm to this world.
Damn it!
"Alright, stop complaining. Let's head to the Adventurer's Guild and become adventurers."
"Yes! Become adventurers, defeat the Demon King, and then I can return! Let's go!"
"Uh... Where's the Adventurer's Guild?"
The moment these words were spoken, both Kazuko and Aqua fell into silence, their eyes staring at each other in bewilderment.
"Aren't you a goddess?! How can you not even know where the Adventurer's Guild is?!"
"I'm a goddess! I'm very busy every day, okay?! How could I have time to pay attention to some Adventurer's Guild in the lower world?!"
The two bickered for a long time.
"Whatever, let's go ask someone for directions."
Kazuko sighed helplessly and went to ask a passerby for the location of the Adventurer's Guild.
...
At the Adventurer's Guild.
"Hello, miss! I want to register as an adventurer."
"Please pay the registration fee."
"Uh, miss, you see, we're all girls here. We should help each other out, right? I don't have money, so can you make an exception?"
"Please pay the registration fee."
"Tch!"
Kazuko secretly clicked her tongue and then turned to Aqua. "Aqua, do you have any money?"
"Nope."
Aqua responded, "I was suddenly pulled down here from the Celestial Realm. How could I possibly have any money on me?"
"Damn it, you're just a useless woman with nothing but boobs! And your chest is even bigger than mine, damn it!"
Kazuko grumbled unhappily.
Luna, the receptionist, could hardly maintain her professional smile while watching the two bickering. She really wanted to throw some sarcastic remarks their way.
Eventually, Aqua used her status as a goddess to successfully beg for two coins from some Eris followers.
With those two coins, they managed to register as adventurers. Aqua ended up with the advanced class of Archpriest, while Kazuko was a lowly adventurer.
The two stood before the task board.
"What the hell! All of these are high-difficulty quests, there's not a single regular task left!"
Kazuko looked at the board full of quests like hunting Wyverns, Newbie Killers, and Venomous Lizards.
She felt completely helpless. There was no way a rookie like her could handle these tasks!
"I heard from other adventurers that it's because of a man known as the 'Quest King.' This place has developed a tradition of taking on quests nonstop."
"As long as there are available tasks, they won't rest until they've completed them all!"
Aqua had already blended in with the adventurers in the guild in no time and had gathered a lot of information.
"Quest King? What a ridiculous title."
Kazuko sneered.
"Don't underestimate him! They say he once completed over a hundred tasks within three days! He's a legend here!"
Aqua said in amazement.
"Over a hundred tasks in three days?! That's thirty tasks a day! To complete thirty tasks in one day, you'd have to finish one task per hour, and even then you wouldn't make it!"
"Is that guy a monster or something?! Thirty tasks a day!"
Kazuko's weak intellect tried to process the information, and she was utterly shocked. How could a person be so efficient?!
"That's not all! Some say the Quest King was seen working non-stop for several days just to complete tasks!"
Even Aqua felt stunned. How could such an impressive person exist here? How come she never knew about him?
Oh, right. She spent all her time in the Celestial Realm snacking and slacking off. That explains it.
"Damn it, it's all because of that guy that we can't find any tasks to do!"
Kazuko stared at the high-difficulty quests with a look of despair. "Looks like we have to find another way to make money."
"If we don't work and earn some cash, we won't even have food to eat today!"
"No! I don't want to starve!"
The two of them left the guild and started looking for jobs in Axel, starting with street work.
"Sorry, our shop doesn't need a waitress."
"Apologies, we don't need anyone here, either."
"Do you have work experience? We only hire those with at least five years of experience. No? Then we can't accept you."
By the time the sun was high in the sky, around noon...
"Grumble~"
"So hungry..."
Kazuko and Aqua sat beneath a large tree, both looking dazed and so hungry that they had no energy left to speak.
"I never knew finding a job would be this hard!"
"I'm a goddess! How can they treat me like this? Boohoo, my devoted believers, where are you all?"
"Construction site hiring! Five thousand Eris per day! Anyone interested?"
Hearing that, Kazuko and Aqua immediately perked up, rushing over and shouting, "We want to do it!"
The muscular foreman glanced at the two of them, his expression clearly doubtful. The two girls looked far too frail.
But then he recalled another man he had encountered before. That guy looked skinny too, but his work was impressive.
They say he recently became some kind of legendary adventurer. Quite impressive.
"Alright, but I'll be clear. The work on the construction site is very hard. If you can't keep up, your pay will be reduced."
"No problem!"
"I'm fine with it, too!"
Kazuko and Aqua found their first job. Their adventure in this otherworld had only just begun!
[Azure Wisdom Goddess: "This goddess has found a job! Everyone, come and praise me!"]
[Hardworking Slacker: "Clap clap clap, that's amazing! By the way, what kind of job did you find?"]
[Azure Wisdom Goddess: "I'm carrying bricks at a construction site. Five thousand Eris per day."]
