Blessings for this Reincarnated Sage in this Wonderful World! (KONOSUBA Fanfic)

Chapter 3:

AN: I changed the timeline of events for this chapter so it follows the manga more than the anime and light novel.

3rd Pov.

While Kazuma went to grab Aqua, Esora asked the receptionist for advice about the easiest job for newbie adventurers to do. Once she accepted the job, she went to her companions.

"Okay, so I got us a job to do and it's to get rid of some Giant Toads. They are a big problem around farmers settlement since they would eat the livestock." The pinkette tells them.

"Are they hard to get rid of?" Kazuma asks and she shrugged.

"From what I hear they aren't something beginner adventurers can handle unless they are at least a party of two members." Esora says.

"That's no problem!" Aqua chirps in with a confident smile, "These Giant Toads are no match for one such as myself! I'll take care of them with one punch!"

Esora looked at the goddess questioningly, "Can you? But you're our healer, so shouldn't you be more focused on supporting us?"

Aqua huffs and puts her hands to her hips, "That's for ordinary archpriests, which I am not! I am a goddess, a being that is more than capable of defeating a mere amphibian who's just large in size! Just leave it to me!"

The two otherworlders exchanged glances before relenting since the archpriest did have a valid point. Aqua is a deity, so she should be capable of defeating a Giant Toad. Right?

3rd Pov.

Before they embarked on their quest, it has been decided that Kazuma would be the party's strategist since he is considerably more smarter than Aqua and Esora especially when it comes to these RPG-type quests. When they came to the meadow where the Giant Toad's where lounging about, Kazuma decided that, as the designated vanguard attacker, he should take care of any Giant Toads that he is able to get rid of with his new short sword, Esora would shoot down any toad's from a distance with her new bow while Aqua stayed back to provide support to her two companions when they need it.

However, it turns out these toads provided to be too much for this newbie party...

"AHHH! SAVE ME, AQUA! ESORA, SAVE ME -- WOAH!"

Yelling at the top of his lungs whilst running from a Giant Toad, was Kazuma. Standing on a hill was Aqua and Esora who was watching the ordeal while laughing (Aqua), or looking at their male comrade in worry (Esora).

Aqua laughed with her hands wrapped around her middle while holding back tears, "Oh, man, this is hysterical! Kazuma, your face is so red and you have tears in your eyes! You look super desperate!" The goddess mocks.

Hearing this insult, Kazuma glares balefully at the archpriest while thinking, 'I'll bury her later, before I head home!'

"Kazuma!" Aqua calls out, "If you really want me to save you, why don't you start my adding 'san' to the end of my name?!"

Abandoning his left over pride, Kazuma yells, "Aqua-sama!"

Aqua smirks in satisfaction, "I guess I have no choice. I'll help you out, you hikiNEET! In return, you'd better worship me from tomorrow onward!"

Thanks to her increase in volume, the Giant Toad that was chasing Kazuma turned its attention on the blue haired girl who was still yapping away without consideration of her surroundings.
