A somewhat familiar quest, and Kazuma plotting..

Back down in the guild hall, a lot of people were whispering and staring at Kazuma and his party in some awe. "...what are they staring at?" Kazuma asked.

"Isn't it obvious?" Fio giggled. "They're taking notice of the higher level quests we've been doing. We're not on the level of Kyouya, but we're slowly but surely becoming heroes to the town..."

"Huh... That actually feels kind of nice," Kazuma grinned. "I could get used to being admired."

"Pick another big quest, and it will stay that way," Cremea told him, gesturing to the board.

"Not too many hard quests, I still want to gain some relatively safe levels for the time being," Kazuma told her. Still, he wanted a particular feature to be present in this next quest, as he had an idea he wanted to try.

"Oh, getting devious with my Note again?" Ria asked casually, floating nearby, and recognizing the look on his face. He just broadened his smirk, and looked over the quests.

'Body of water, body of water...' he mused as he scanned the board, before finally grinning. A perfect quest that not only paid handsomely, but had what he was looking for. "How about this?" he suggested, pulling down the paper. "Some rich nobleman from out of town has a vacation lake house nearby, but unfortunately for him, and very fortunately for us, it's been infested with some monster alligators. He wants someone to get rid of them within the next couple of days so he can vacation there one more time before the first snow hits..."

"Monster alligators?" Megumin asked. "Aren't those the same monsters that infested the area Aqua needed that cage to purify?"

"Yep. Different lake, different objective, but same enemies," Kazuma grinned. "4 million Eris is the reward if it's done by tomorrow, so we'll have a day to spare if we do it today. Only 2 million of done after though, but that won't be an issue, will it?"

Cremea smirked. "Okay, I could definitely get a level or two out of that! Let's do it!"
