However, according to the plot, after this guy appeared, the small monsters around Axel hid themselves in fear.
Because of this, the Adventurers' Guild had no suitable quests for beginners.
The idle Megumin discovered the castle and began to attack it with Explosion Magic once a day.
This enraged the headless knight, who came to Axel to find the troublemaker, Megumin, and ordered her to stop.
But Megumin righteously refused.
He then cursed Megumin, but Darkness discovered it and took the curse for her instead.
The headless knight declared that Darkness would die in a week and left, saying that if they wanted to save her, they should meet him at the castle.
Little did he know that after he left, the curse was purified by Aqua.
He returned to the castle and waited for a week, during which time Megumin continued to attack the castle with Explosion Magic.
The angry headless knight then returned to Axel, discovered that the curse had been broken, and was mocked by Aqua.
He was finally enraged and tried to slaughter the town, but was defeated and killed by Aqua's party.
The bounty for this guy was extremely high.
After he was eliminated, Kazuma's party, as the MVP, received a reward of three hundred million Eris.
However, due to the flood summoned by Aqua, some of the buildings near the town were washed away and destroyed, causing property damage totaling three hundred and forty million.
Aqua's party was now saddled with a huge debt.
"A Demon King's army executive, huh? He must be a very powerful guy," Kazuma couldn't help but say.
Darkness nodded.
"Since he's an executive, he's probably an ogre lord or a vampire, or maybe a great demon or a dragon. No matter what, they are all monsters that would kill us in a single hit."
Kazuma asked, curious, "Why would such a monster come here? We're supposed to be a beginner's town for
adventurers."
Darkness shook her head. She had no idea what was going on.
But then, Emiya suddenly said, "Let's go and take down the Demon King's army executive."
Kazuma, Aqua, Megumin, and Darkness were all stunned.
It took them a while to react.
Kazuma reached out to touch Emiya's forehead, but
Emiya slapped his hand away before he could.
Kazuma, however, was not offended. He looked at Emiya
with a worried expression.
"Are you alright, Emiya-san? Do you have a fever?"
"Yeah, yeah." For once, Aqua didn't argue with Kazuma.
She nodded in agreement, with a similarly worried expression.
Emiya retorted, "Why would you think I have a fever?"
Kazuma became even more confused.
"If you don't have a fever, then why are you talking nonsense? Taking down a Demon King's army executive?
We're just beginner adventurers, you know."
Megumin nodded vigorously from the side.
"While I believe my Explosion Magic is very powerful, it would be quite difficult to face a Demon King's army executive right now."
Aqua also said, "Emiya, I know you want to defeat the Demon King so I can return to the heavens, but unfortunately, we are still too weak. It's impossible for us to defeat a Demon King's army executive."
Darkness, on the other hand, was excited. "No, no, no! I agree with Emiya's decision! As a knight, I cannot turn a blind eye to a Demon King's army executive! So I'm willing to go with Emiya to take him down. You can all abandon me and run away when the time comes. I will do my best to hold back the Demon King's army executive and buy you time!"
"Even if I'm later captured by the Demon King's army executive and subjected to this and that, don't worry! As a righteous crusader, I will never give in!"
By the end, her face was flushed, and her mind was filled with various indescribable scenarios.
Emiya saw her expression and knew that her mind was in
the gutter.
It was only normal for an M-type knight to have these thoughts.
"Just shut up," Emiya wanted to reprimand her, but he knew that doing so wouldn't make Darkness stop talking; it would only make her more excited.
So he simply closed his mouth and said nothing, looking at the others instead.
Kazuma kept shaking his head.
"In short, the Demon King's army executive has nothing to do with us. High-level adventurers will take care of him. We beginner adventurers should stay away."
Megumin and Aqua both agreed with him.
Emiya thought for a moment and didn't insist.
He simply said, "Alright then, let's drop this topic."
However, he was well aware that as long as he didn't interfere with Megumin's actions, the headless knight would show up in Axel sooner or later.
When he did, it wouldn't be too late for Emiya to take action and kill him.

...
Over the next few days, as the plot unfolded, the presence of the headless knight caused all the small monsters around the town of Axel to hide.
As a result, the quests on the Guild's bulletin board were all of the high-difficulty kind.
Aqua found this unacceptable, as she had already spent most of the money she had earned.
This guy liked to spend money on expensive sparkling wine and food, never saving any.
Now that she had no income, she might have to go hungry.
"I've decided. We're going to go and take down the Demon King's army executive right now!"
She had completely shed her cowardly demeanor from a few days ago, and her eyes burned with the flame of
anger.
To cut off someone's source of income was like killing their parents. How could she possibly endure such a great hatred?
She absolutely couldn't! It was just one Demon King's army executive.
Let's do this!
"Don't do anything rash!" Kazuma quickly tried to stop her. He had no desire to face an unwinnable opponent for such a trivial matter.
"Let me go! Let me go!" Aqua struggled.
Just then, a Guild staff member suddenly announced, "The cabbages from a few days ago have all been sold! Please come to the counter to collect your due rewards."
Aqua's eyes lit up. She no longer cared about taking down the Demon King's army executive and ran to the counter to get her reward.
However,
"Why is it only fifty thousand?! Do you know how many cabbages I caught?! It's definitely not just ten or twenty!"
"Well, um, this is a little hard to explain"
"What is it?!"
"...Miss Aqua, almost all of the ones you caught were West-leaf Cabbages..."
"...Why were there West-leaf Cabbages mixed in with them?!"
"D-don't ask me that!"
Emiya saw her bothering the staff member and went up to pat her on the head. "Alright, don't make it difficult for her. You're not short on money anyway, right?"
"Oh, right. We're splitting the reward this time." Aqua finally remembered.
