—Well, tell me how it all started, so I can know how I can help you
Kazuma and Regina were in a café
—W-well, it all started when I was born…
—Not that long ago…
—Of course, I knew you meant that… — he cleared his throat a little and continued— In my glory days, when many people worshipped me, the Evil Goddess Regina, patron of revenge and domination, my church if I remember correctly was located near here… but I have no reference points anymore… the only one I remember was a hill…
—Focus!
—Of course! As I was saying… I was having a quiet day when suddenly some crazy people who called themselves the crimson demons interrupted my church saying that they had registered the red eyes, that what I was doing was illegal… At first I really found it funny, so I didn't give them any importance, however… THEY TOOK MY BELIEVERS! They seduced them with that false cat goddess, only my most faithful believer Lucy remained by my side… Oh my Lucy! Even now I feel her adoration,
—Continue!
—Yes, yes — sipping some tea she continued— Then when they stole my believers I got angry… and tried to destroy their village
—It didn't end well, did it?
—Not a chance, I only had 1 follower left, looking back it wasn't my best decision to have attacked when I had so little power… but I did, I attacked and they repressed me with insulting ease
—And how did you get here?
—Well, after a while I was unsealed to be sealed again in a place closer to the village so I could attract more people…— With a grimace of disgust he continued—That was simply… insulting
Kazuma agreeing sipped his tea elegantly
—One day real demons attacked the village, in the middle of their attack on the village, an Explosion attack reached my seal, breaking it and letting me flee, having reflected on my mistakes I decided to return when I had enough power, so I began to try to recruit followers… however at the moment I only have one alive…
—Uh... Why don't you repeat the method you used to return to your Priest?
—It happens that since I have so little divine power… I can only lend my powers in exchange for losing them myself, in other words, no one believes that I am a Goddess because I lost almost all my power giving that girl my control over certain parts of my divinity…
—What if you had another worshiper?
—Well… it depends on the amount of faith she gave me… if she worshipped me as much as Serena, I would have to divide the control to give it to another Dark Priest to make it equal— she whispered this last part to herself — B-but I really need your help to achieve it!
Kazuma having heard this thought for a few minutes
—I think I know how you should start! After all, to have followers you need a new church and publicity, and to have this… you need to have funds!
—Great—with shining eyes Regina excitedly agreed with Kazuma —then you are going to lend me money
—No
Kazuma continued without changing his expression
—How then am I going to have money?
Regina immediately became depressed
—Work
—A goddess like me working? No way
—So you don't want followers?
—B-but I don't know how to do anything…
—Let's go to the adventurer's guild, the most I can do for you is if you want to supervise your first mission…
Kazuma then called the waitress and asked for the bill
He was in shock when he looked at the bill
—I think the bill is wrong… It says here that they served me several cakes, and we only had some tea…
The waitress pointed at Regina
Who was eating cakes as if her life depended on it…
Was it really a good idea to try to help her?
——Adventurer's Guild——
—That's Ruffian over there, if you need advice or emotional support, tea can give it to you
Kazuma was giving Regina a tour of the guild so she could get familiar before taking a quest
—Look, this is Luna, the receptionist. Hello Luna!
Greeting Luna, Kazuma guided her towards her
—Kazuma, what brings you here?
—I just came to help Regina register in the guild…
—Oh, just wait a moment
Luna then gave Regina a guild registration card and began to explain to Regina how being an adventurer worked
Kazuma, knowing this, didn't pay attention and continued looking at other things, such as a strange guy with a familiar mask in a corner of the guild who greeted him…
—Vanir?
—Brat! How strange… Why can't I see your future? The stinky goddess isn't supposed to be around…
—What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be with Wiz?
—This is Moi's side job, now get out of the way, a person is coming to consult with Moi
Kazuma was pushed aside so that… Dust? He will come closer
Not wanting to get into trouble, he decided to return to Regina
Just then Luna made him touch the card after writing down his information
Regina touched the card
—… well let's see what? These numbers haven't been seen since Miss Aqua… you have one, vitality, agility and speed… all of them are very high, especially magic, intelligence is slightly higher than average… Huh? Luck and strength points are very low
Kazuma was starting to have déjà vu
—You can choose almost any class… with the exception of classes like Sword Master that require high strength… But you can even choose advanced classes!
—I'll be an… Arch-Wizard, if I choose the Arch-Wizard class I'll take away from those morons what makes them so special, hehehehehe
—An Arch-Wizard! The Arch-Wizard An advanced class mage, who can use powerful spells such as advanced magic and special magic, as well as having the ability to create new custom spells… I'll register you right now!... It's done. Welcome to the Adventurer's Guild, Regina-sama, all our staff is looking forward to your great deeds!
—Fufu, they finally recognize my greatness
Before Regina could start doing something stupid, Kazuma dragged her to the mission board
—Now we have to choose a mission
Kazuma was looking for a low level mission to start when Regina interrupted him
—Look Kazuma, this is a pretty good mission to start
Taking the paper from Regina's hands he read
—…Two-Headed Dragon Hunt, Highly Poisonous lives in the ancient castle of the Dullahan, Reward 800,000 eris…
Hitting her on the head, Kazuma scolded her
—It's your first mission! I'm not going to help you with a damn Dragon
—So what will be the first mission we take?
Kazuma searched for a moment and looked at the board looking for a specific mission, finally finding it
—This is the perfect mission
Regina took the paper and read
—Toad Hunt?
—With your magic it should be much easier than it was for me…
—Well maybe then you'll see my great power…
——The outskirts of the city——
In front of Kazuma were the natural enemies of his life
He had faced Generals of the Demon King before, but the intimidating presence of those enemies always made him nervous
Those giant eyes staring into the void…
That mouth that could devour people in one bite
—That toad is quite cute… It's a pity, but I'll finish you off with one blow
Regina, not knowing the terror of those beasts, approached one
Which immediately noticed her and headed towards her
—Cheer up beast! You'll die by my hands! —Regina raised her palm and said—Magic to me!
After which… nothing happened
—Uh? Kazuma, what's wrong?
—Shouldn't you chant the spell?
—Did the spell have to be chanted? Which? What? Wasn't it just saying something random and waiting for something to come out?...
Before she could continue she was swallowed by the toad
—Ahhhhh, Helpeee
—idiot! How come you didn't tell me you didn't know anything about magic
Launching himself to kill the toad Kazuma took out his trusty Chunchunmaru
Soaked in drool and crying was the so-called goddess of domination
—Th-those bastards will pay for this!
—How the hell don't you know magic!
—I-I had only specialized in gathering followers, right? Besides, since those guys used it so easily I thought it wasn't complicated to be an Arch-Wizard…
—Why didn't you use your Goddess powers?
—It's just that… my follower is using them…
In her range of vision she saw another frog approaching
Regina ran towards her and…
Did she bite the Frog?
The frog stood still processing everything…
And then he devoured it again
—In my mind it was a good ideaaaa!
—DAMN IT!!
