“Split evenly?” Aqua’s eyes lit up.
Luna nodded.
“According to guild regulations, the proceeds from team hunts are collected by the team leader and then distributed to the members based on their contribution.
Of course, if the team leader wishes, the guild can also split it evenly directly.” “Split it!
Split it directly!” Aqua raised both hands.
“This Goddess wants it split directly!” “Wait a second.” Ash pressed down on Aqua’s shoulder.
“How many did you catch?” “I…
I caught…
uh…” Aqua counted on her fingers for a long time, then gave up.
“A lot!” “Never mind, I’ll handle the distribution.” “Th-then how will you split it?” “Three million for each person.” Ash said.
“You, Megumin, and Darkness will get three million each.
The remaining six million goes to me.” “Three million?!” Aqua was glowing all over.
“Don’t get excited yet.” Ash took the money bag from Luna, divided it into four portions, and pushed three of them toward the three women.
“This is yours.
Take it, and don’t lose it.” “I won’t lose it!
I absolutely won’t lose it!” Aqua hugged the money bag, curling up into a ball, terrified that someone would snatch it away.
Megumin took the money bag, her red eyes blinking, and then looked at Ash.
“I…
am I really taking this much?” “You earned it.
Without your Explosion Magic, the cabbage swarm wouldn’t have gathered or flown this way.” “But I only cast one spell…” “That one spell is worth three million.” Megumin was silent for a few seconds, then silently stuffed the money bag into her bosom, the corners of her mouth curling up slightly.
“I will accept it…” Darkness took the money bag, her expression much calmer than the other two.
“I will make good use of this money.” “Don’t buy chains or ropes or things like that.” “I…
I wasn’t planning on buying…” “You’re blushing.” “That’s from the sun.” “We’re indoors.” “Ahhh…
that’s just me being refreshed!” Moving his gaze away from Darkness, Ash stored the remaining money into the gate of babylon.
“That’s it for today.
Tomorrow, I’m going to buy a batch of weapons.” “Buy weapons?” Megumin looked up.
“Don’t you already have that weird sword?” “That’s called the Ea!” “Oh, don’t you already have the Ea?” “One isn’t enough~” Ash leaned back in his chair.
“The purpose of the gate of babylon is to have things inside, the more the better.
Look at me, I’m so poor right now that you can’t even call it a treasure vault; a warehouse would be more accurate…” He paused.
“Besides, I can’t just shoot chains every time I fight, right?
I want to try being like Gilgamesh, opening up a field behind me and having weapons rain down like a storm.” “Who is Gilgamesh?” “He’s the equivalent of Chovy from the S-Tournament.” “Wait!
Who is Chovy?” “What?
You want to hear about the S-Tournament again?
Then I have to mention that Chovy is really different this year…” “Ahhhhh!
Ash, can’t you say something I can actually understand!!!” The next day…
Axel’s weapon street.
Ash walked down the street alone, without those three troublemakers following him.
He gave Aqua one hundred thousand as pocket money, telling her to take Megumin and Darkness to get food.
It wasn’t for their sake; it was so he could have some peace and quiet.
The weapon street wasn’t long, but there were many shops.
Ash browsed them one by one.
Swords, axes, blades, spears…
As long as it was something he could throw, he bought it.
Not just one, but a dozen.
“Boss, fifty of each of these weapons.” “Fi-fifty?!” The weapon shop owner’s eyes widened.
“Young man, what are you buying so many weapons for?
Opening a martial arts gym?” “Collecting.” Ash said expressionlessly.
“I am a Collector.” “I can understand a Collector collecting weapons, but fifty of each?” “I like symmetry.” The owner opened his mouth, but ultimately didn’t ask further.
Only a fool wouldn’t take money, especially from a big client buying hundreds of weapons at once.
“Alright, please wait a moment, I’ll go to the warehouse to get the goods.” Ash waited in the weapon shop for half an hour.
The owner and two assistants went back and forth a dozen times before finally piling all the weapons in the shop.
Ash waved his right hand, and golden ripples unfolded behind him, absorbing the weapons inside.
Afterward, he nodded in satisfaction.
“At least now, when I fight, I can shoot something.” [gate of babylon Inventory Updated] [Status: Marked!
Projectable!
Automatically Recoverable!] Although what he shot out were just common goods, not Noble Phantasm prototypes, the sheer quantity was enough to be visually stunning.
Furthermore, the gate of babylon would automatically recover and repair the projected weapons, and even enhance their power!
“This six million was worth it!” Just as he was preparing to return to the inn, a notification sound suddenly rang in his mind.
[Ding!
Detected host’s current task progress as follows:]
Maybe it’s not a big deal now… maybe it will be later.
“And If you’re enjoying it, drop a Power Stone for me!”
