"Mr. Thomas, this is today's income." Panting, Kazuma handed the money he earned from hard work to Thomas.

On the contrary, Thomas was a little shocked: "What are you doing?"

Hezhen scratched his head: "Didn't you say that you want to make a lot of money? I thought about it for a while. We have worked hard for a day, and we have no intention of making money. The money is either spent or thrown away. It is better to pay it." To Mister Thomas."

After finishing speaking, he couldn't help but sigh: "I knew I would have followed the guild's advice to choose the profession of merchant."

This is different from the anime.

Thomas' eyes dimmed slightly.

Although there are shocks in the anime, there are also recognitions, so Kazuma will not lose confidence, but now that he has experienced a series of failures, coupled with Thomas' ability, it even affects Kazuma's growth and makes him deny his decision.

This is not a good thing.

Thomas turned around: "Don't give it to me, you are all sweaty, go take a shower first."

He couldn't take the money.

If accepted, indeed, the task of the system can be completed immediately, but can the task of the system really be completed?

The Great Goddess has already reminded him that the failure of missions is occasionally a form of protection.

Why do you say that?

If he really made Hezhen and the others depend on Thomas and couldn't do without Thomas, would he still have to leave?If you choose to leave, what will happen next?

In fact, this is a profitable business for the system.

If Thomas chooses to stay, it is the goal of the system. If Thomas leaves after completing the task, the world line will also change drastically. Don’t forget that the original goal of the system is to collect energy.

So this task cannot be successful.

He can neither stay here nor allow the system to gain power.

In the previous world, with the help of the Great Goddess, the system must not have gained much energy. In addition, in this world, the two times of making ends meet will definitely force the system to show its feet.

He needs such an opportunity to obtain more intelligence and dig out the weaknesses of the system.

Therefore, he can help the protagonist group, but he cannot let the protagonist group depend on him, but let them go on the original track by learning and growing from him.

And then—complete failure of the mission within a year.

This is Thomas' second goal.

He needs to test, test the hidden plan of breaking out of the world, the plan hinted at by the Great Goddess.

"Ah! Isn't this Thomas!" As soon as he walked into the bathhouse, the aunt at the front desk greeted Thomas happily, "Are you here to take a bath? If it's Thomas, you don't need to pay."

Thomas waved his hand: "How embarrassing."

"Oh, if it weren't for you, none of us would have known that the long-term supplier of bathroom supplies was driving up prices. You saved us a lot of money!"

The aunt took Thomas's hand enthusiastically, and then looked at Kazuma and Aqua next to him: "Are you two friends of Mr. Thomas? Thomas is our family's benefactor. You don't need to come here in the future." Pay!"

As soon as these words came out, the eyes of the two were instantly filled with admiration, and they were so happy that they wanted to rush in immediately.

Seeing this, Thomas shook his head helplessly: "Well, I got to know a supplier in the west of the city today, and tomorrow I will help you to go and ask, see if I can supply it for a long time at a cheap price."

The aunt's smile became even brighter when she heard that: "Oh! As expected of Mr. Thomas! Please leave this matter to Mr. Thomas!"

After finishing speaking, she pushed Thomas inside and said, "Mr. Thomas, come in quickly, don't be polite to me!"

After entering the bathhouse separately from Akua, Kazuma worshiped while changing clothes: "Mr. Thomas is really amazing, you have done so many things in just one day!"

Thomas took off his shirt, and responded with a few words: "It's just that some of the information collected can be used, and Kazuma can also walk around the city more in the future. Knowing more, many things will be easier to handle."

Kazuma sighed: "I don't have such strong ability as Mr. Thomas." He turned his head and just saw Thomas' abdominal muscles, and then looked at his flat figure, and immediately felt even more inferior.

"I'm just a squat at home, and I feel like I can't do anything well."

Thomas bent down to pick up the bucket, then turned to Kazuma: "Everyone has their own strengths, and you don't have to underestimate yourself. Think about your own strengths and improve yourself."

He Zhen paused, and suddenly bowed to Thomas: "Mr. Thomas! Can you teach me!"

In the bathhouse, both of them only wore a towel around their waists. When they bent down, the towel fell off as soon as it was loose. cross.

"Ow—"

Seeing this scene, Thomas felt pain, and silently turned his head away.

"Well, you can follow along."

And pretend nothing happened.

Because of Thomas' help, the bathhouse owner arranged for them differently from what Kazuma and the others usually went to. It wasn't just watering, but a large bath, which looked very expensive.

This kind of experience is obviously more comfortable than sitting there with a wooden bucket watering, not to mention Kazuma can't sit down now.

In the midst of steaming water, Thomas' mixed-race face looked very handsome, but he didn't notice it, and he didn't even enjoy it for a long time, and he came out after just soaking for a while.

Maybe it's because the main character of the anime healed quickly with his own settings. When he left the bathhouse, Kazuma's face was already normal. They met Akua, took a bottle of milk and drank it happily, and then they were ready to eat.

It was still Thomas who led the way, but it was not the restaurant they often went to, but a small restaurant.

The store doesn't look that big, and I don't know what attracted Thomas to come.

"Is that Mr. Thomas?" As soon as he entered the door, Thomas received a great welcome, and both Kazuma and Akua were not surprised.

This shop is run by a husband and wife. Although the shop is small, it looks very clean, but the dishes are not special, so the popularity has not been high.

Thomas passed by today and found that this small shop is very serious about the ingredients and the dishes are solid, so he made a few small comments and gave them a few recipes.

"Mr. Thomas, come and try it, we made it according to the recipe you gave!"

Thomas didn't give much. Considering the situation in the other world, he mainly made Mond dishes, and made simple adaptations based on local specialties. I didn't expect the boss to make them so quickly.

Because it was a tasting, he didn't refuse, and sat down with the boss's strength, and took a sip.

"Oh! What a delicacy this is!"

Before she could open her mouth, Akuya on the other side had already eaten. She devoured the food, without the posture of a goddess at all, and sucked it in like a gust of wind.

And Kazuma also realized that if he didn't eat, he would have nothing to eat, so he followed up immediately. For a moment, the table was so quiet that only the sound of swallowing was left.

Thomas was not very hungry, so he ate a few bites, then whispered some comments to the boss, and noticed that Thomas didn't eat much, the boss immediately said that he would continue to serve the food.

In this regard, Thomas waved his hand: "I ate some before I came out, and I'm not very hungry now." Then he looked at the two of them again, and smiled, "They worked hard today, and I think they are very hungry."

The boss also smiled: "They eat so deliciously, which is also a recognition of my cooking skills."

In the kind eyes of Thomas and the boss, Kazuma burped, and then noticed their eyes, feeling a little embarrassed for a while.

Akuya, on the other hand, had no intention of paying at all, stood up and planned to leave.

Hezhen couldn't stop her, so he stayed here to give money, but of course, as expected, he was declined by the boss.

"You are friends brought by Mr. Thomas. Mr. Thomas can be said to have saved the store. How can I have the nerve to ask you to pay?"

The hand that took out the money was frozen there, and Kazuma instantly understood why Mr. Thomas thought that only 10 Eris was not a big deal yesterday.

In just one day, Mr. Thomas has built a huge network of relationships, so that they don't have to spend money on the daily necessary bathing and eating. Reducing consumption means that the money earned can be saved for their subsequent lives.

Saying goodbye to the enthusiastic shop owner, the three of them walked side by side on the street, and many people greeted Thomas on the side of the road.

This is an experience Kazuma has never had before.

In the past, he was squatting at home and had no social interaction with the outside world at all, but when he came to another world, he was unfamiliar with the place, and there was no such scene.

It can be said that he adores Thomas very much now.

"Do you think you can't do it?"

Thomas' voice suddenly sounded, making Kazuma startled. He looked at Thomas with doubts in his eyes.

"Hahaha, I don't know how to read minds, it's just that your thoughts are written on your face."

Thomas led the two of them to a tree where a few stray cats and dogs gathered. He took out some food from somewhere and put it down, and the cats and dogs came over.

This was the first time Kazuma saw Thomas like this.

"Actually, I learned a lot today, including you, of course." Thomas squatted down and stroked a cat approaching, "You have only been here for three or four days, and you can register as adventurers and find It’s a pretty good job.”

"Not only that, Hezhen, many people in the place where you work praise you for your seriousness in your work."

"Huh?" Kazuma's face was full of disbelief, and even today, he was scolded for being clumsy.

"Insufficient strength in the early stage is a very normal thing. Even I can't do so much when I don't understand anything." Thomas showed a trace of nostalgia in his eyes, "At that time, I didn't do things very well. When it rains, they are as embarrassed as these stray cats and dogs."

He lowered his head, his eyes were full of softness: "But even they left me an open space in the shelter from the rain. This is how I report to the group to keep warm, so that I can make my life a little bit better."

"Hezhen, you have already done a good job. You can use your brain and take the initiative to learn. Even if you are not strong enough now, you will achieve something in the future, so there is no need to always feel that you are bad."

"Don't forget, you were full of confidence on your first day in another world!"

Hezhen was a little moved, but in the next second he suddenly felt wrong: "You, how did you know about my first day?"

"Hmph, of course it was the goddess who told him." Akuya put her hands on her hips, her face full of pride, "Toma asked me, of course I will tell you all about your dark history!"

"For example, you actually wore it because you were scared to death... Ugh!"

Kazuma covered his mouth in the middle of Akua's words, and he was full of despair: "Please don't talk about such things, stupid goddess!"
