Of course, for Emiya, it wasn't really about the money and experience. It was about the skill points.
After learning Abnormality Status Resistance, Magic Resistance, and Physical Resistance from Darkness a few days earlier, he had spent most of his hard-earned skill points.
Now, after leveling up several times, his skill points were replenished.
This was what made him happy. With skill points, Emiya
could learn more skills, as there was no harm in having too many.
On the other hand, after the cabbage harvest quest came to a successful end, the entire town was filled with dishes made from cabbage.
When Emiya returned to the Adventurers' Guild, he also got to taste some of the food. He certainly wasn't going to miss out.
After taking a bite of the stir-fried cabbage provided by the Guild, Emiya couldn't help but exclaim, "Delicious."
It was, without a doubt, the best cabbage Emiya had ever eaten.
"It is delicious, but I just don't understand.
Why is mere cabbage so tasty? I truly don't get it."
Kazuma said with an exhausted expression.
He hadn't come to this fantasy world to fight cabbages.
But Emiya's party paid no attention to him.
Aqua, in particular, was sitting across from Emiya, staring at him with a gaze that seemed to emit light, making Emiya feel completely uncomfortable.
He couldn't help but ask, "Why are you looking at me with that kind of gaze?"
"Hey, hey, you must have made a lot of money from this
cabbage hunt, right?" Aqua had seen Emiya's massive haul during the quest.
Emiya nodded. "I did make a lot."
"How much exactly?" Megumin asked, curious.
"I'm not sure, but it's probably tens of millions of Eris."
"Tens tens of millions?" Megumin's eyes instantly turned into the shape of currency.
For someone who had been poor all her life and couldn't even get enough to eat in school, tens of millions was an immense fortune.
Even Darkness, who came from a noble family, looked at Emiya in astonishment.
This amount of money was something even her family might not be able to come up with.
Aqua, now a clingy mess, said, "Hey, Emiya, we're a party, right?"
Emiya nodded. "That's right."
"And we completed this quest together, right?" Aqua continued.
"So?"
"We'll split the reward, right?" Aqua finally revealed her true motive, her eyes sparkling with desire as she looked at Emiya.
If she had said this to Kazuma, he would have definitely said, "Dream on." But Emiya simply nodded and said,
"Sure."
To be honest, tens of millions of Eris was indeed a huge sum, but he didn't really care about it. He wouldn't mind giving it all to Aqua.
"Hey, hey, Emiya-san, you're spoiling Aqua too much.
She'll take advantage of you, you know," Kazuma warned from the side.
Emiya smiled and said, "It's fine, I don't mind."
It wasn't that Emiya was spoiling the goddess; it was that Aqua had truly been a great benefactor to him.
Not to mention anything else, the Fantasy Creation skill alone was priceless. It couldn't be bought for tens of millions of Eris, or even hundreds of millions.
But Aqua had given it to him. So, Emiya had no problem
spoiling her.
However, Kazuma's words enraged Aqua, and she reprimanded him without hesitation.
"You good-for-nothing, shut up! This is none of your business!"
"What did you say, you useless goddess?" Kazuma wasn't
going to take that from Aqua. The two of them immediately started to argue.
Emiya was already used to their daily squabbles.
The two of them felt uncomfortable if they didn't bicker with each other for a day, so he just pretended not to hear them and quietly ate his cabbage.
Megumin and Darkness had also become accustomed to their arguments over the past few days.
They weren't worried about their friendship breaking at all and made no attempt to stop them.
They even added fuel to the fire, as if they were afraid the argument wouldn't be intense enough.
Emiya couldn't help but sigh. It was going to be a lively day.

...
A day or two later, after defeating some monsters,
Emiya's party returned to the Adventurers' Guild.
They sat in a corner of the bar-slash-guild hall, resting and gathering information.
In the Adventurers' Guild, gathering information was an important part of the job.
There were a surprising number of people chatting here, and you could overhear a lot of interesting conversations.
For example, where dangerous monsters had been sighted, what missions in a certain area were best avoided for now, or that a certain type of monster disliked the smell of citrus juice and wouldn't come near you if you rubbed it on your body.
This was all information that adventurers had obtained with their lives, and it was quite useful.
Emiya occasionally gathered information on monsters here, but today, he unexpectedly overheard some surprising news.
"Did you know? I heard that one of the Demon King's army executives has taken over an old castle. It's just a little ways up the hills outside of town."
The speaker was a man who had already started drinking
and chatting in the middle of the day.
When Emiya heard this, he was stunned. Hmm, a Demon King's army executive.
If he wasn't mistaken, it should be the headless knight from the original plot.
There were eight executives in the Demon King's army in this world, and one of them was the headless knight, whose name seemed to be Verdia.
This guy was a knight in life. He was beheaded after an unjust execution and turned into a headless knight due to his hatred.
He later joined the Demon King's army and became one of the eight executives. His swordsmanship was among the best in the Demon King's army.
When he fought people, he would throw his head into the air to get a top-down view of the battlefield, allowing his body to have no blind spots and not be attacked.
He was also skilled in Death Curse, and the armor he wore, a gift from the Demon King, could resist holy magic such as exorcism.
However, his weaknesses were water and his head when he was holding it, as his body was controlled by his head.
The reason why such an expert came to Axel, a small town for beginners, was actually related to Aqua.
When Aqua was pulled down from the heavens by Kazuma and came to this world, the Demon King's army observed a beam of holy light descending upon Axel.
This holy light was, without a doubt, Aqua.
Although the Demon King didn't know what the holy light was, he was very uneasy.
So he ordered the headless knight to come to the vicinity
of Axel to investigate.
The headless knight was then instructed to station himself and his subordinates in an abandoned castle near Axel.
