Adding fresh goddess juice to this lake!

Part 1

“Have you heard? Rumour says that a General of the Demon King’s army has taken over the old castle on that hill a short distance away from town.”

In the corner of the bar operated by the guild.

I was listening to a man sitting at my table and drinking during the day.

I wasn’t drinking beer though, but Neroid Swish.

What was Neroid?

What was Swish?

I only tried it out of curiosity since the people told me this was the non-alcoholic beverage of choice among patrons…

If you asked me if it was good, I could only answer it in this way:

… Um, I don’t know.

But I knew what swish meant.

It was the texture you felt when you drank it.

This wasn’t a carbonated drink. I didn’t really get what the swish texture was, but this feeling could only be described as swish.

I finished the Neroid and placed the cup on the table…

“A General of the Demon King’s army. That sounds bad, but it has nothing to do with us.”

“That’s right.”

The man before me agreed with my negative and irresponsible words.

There was an unexpectedly huge crowd of people chatting in the guild, and I could hear many interesting topics.

For example, the places to avoid taking quests in because dangerous monsters have been spotted there.

I had a hard time just surviving since coming to this world, and had never gathered intelligence in this way before.

Collecting information was the most important step to avoid raising flags.

Talking about such things in a bar had an adventurer like feeling, so it made me happy.

The man sitting opposite me said:

“Anyway, it’s better not to approach the abandoned castle to the north of town. This isn’t the capital of the kingdom, so who knows what a General of the Demon King’s army is doing here. But since it’s a general, it’s probably a lord ogre, vampire, arch demon or dragon. No matter what it is, it’ll be a monster that can kill us instantly. I’d be best not to take any quests around that place for now”

After thanking the man, I left my seat and returned to the table my party was at…

“… What? Why are you all looking at me like that?”

Aqua, Darkness and Megumin took small mouthfuls of the vegetable sticks in the cup at the centre of the table as they stared at me.

“Nothing– I wasn’t worried about Kazuma joining another party or anything.”

Aqua said as she looked at me with uneasy eyes.

“…? Eh, I was just gathering information. That’s what adventurers do.”

I took a seat at their table and reached for a vegetable stick.

Dodge.

The vegetable stick dodged my outstretched hand.

… Hey!

“What are you doing, Kazuma?”

Aqua slammed the table, making the vegetable stick jump in surprise.

When the vegetable sticks were momentarily in the air, Aqua grabbed one and stuffed it in her mouth.

“… Hmm. You looked so happy. You were really having fun chatting, Kazuma. Were you that close with members of the other parties?”

Megumin slammed the table with her fist, picked up the vegetable stick that was too scared to move and shoved it in her mouth.
