Ethan was different from other Reincarnators. Most Reincarnators who had cheats received them as gifts from the goddess when they reincarnated, allowing them to instantly become extraordinary individuals. However, those Reincarnators were actually ordinary people, so aside from the cheats given by the goddess, they had nothing!
But Ethan was different. When he reincarnated, he chose Eris, the goddess who gave him a cheat in human form. Logically, he should have just been an ordinary person relying on Eris, but he was different from other Reincarnators. He had his own cheat that didn't come from the goddess!
This cheat gave him the ability to see Eris's secrets, even to perceive the movements of the world and master the past, present, and future!
Although abilities like foreseeing the future or sensing the movements of the world were only effective occasionally, this cheat gave him extremely sharp insight and the ability to sense the near future around him!
Because of this, even Host, who had almost escaped due to Eris's lack of combat experience, had his movements already known by Ethan. That's why earlier Ethan used the Demon Sword to split Host in two!
This time, although Eris was surprised to see Host escape, she didn't use purification magic to destroy him. She wanted to give Ethan a reward—the experience points from Host, that high-level Demon!
"Bastard! Bastard!" The split Host writhed in pain on the ground. His magical power had already been depleted after the intense battle with Eris earlier. Now, he was like a phoenix that had fallen to the ground and was no more than a chicken!
And this chicken not only lost its feathers, but its wings were also broken!
"Well then, it's over. Who told you to hurt my friend?" Ethan walked over to Host, his pitch-black eyes filled with coldness and anger!
*SWOOSH!*
*Pu-chi!*
Raise hand, slash, the Demon Sword reappeared and completely destroyed Host!
"Haaah—" Feeling his magical power depleted, Ethan sighed in despair.
Adventurers were indeed the weakest profession. If it weren't for the fact that he had killed many Giant Frogs earlier and leveled up, plus the terrifying support magic from Eris, Ethan might not have had the chance to fight a high-level Demon like Host. In fact, the three Sword of Light (Darkness) attacks earlier could only be used thanks to Eris's support magic.
Thinking of this, Ethan looked back at the Demon Sword, which was filled with an unpleasant aura!
This sword was a replica of the legendary Excalibur Morgan, although its quality was far inferior. But nonetheless, this sword still had the power to use high-level magic! It was one of the best Demon swords in Axel, and it nearly drained all of Ethan's meager savings!
"Ssss—!" While Ethan was lost in thought, Eris suddenly came over with a blank face and pinched the soft flesh on his waist, making him suck in a cold breath several times!
"Eris, I didn't do anything bad, let alone flirt with a goddess! Why are you pinching me again!?" Ethan was extremely shocked and confused. After all, he had been very honest! He didn't even flirt with Eris like he usually did, so why did Eris pinch him again?
And this time it was harder than before!
"Hmph—" Eris just snorted sweetly and walked away without looking back!
'What's going on? Is she also experiencing her monthly visitor like Yunyun earlier!?' Ethan guessed maliciously. Suddenly, a flash of enlightenment appeared in his mind. Yunyun! So that's it! No wonder Eris was acting like a child!
And, did this behavior prove that she was already...
"Eh?" Just as Ethan seemed to understand something, Yunyun carefully walked over to his side and asked softly: "Is it because of me that Ethan's friend got upset? Is it because Ethan wants to be friends with someone like me that Ethan's friend is unhappy?"
"If that's the case, Ethan can stay away from me and go find your friend. I don't want Ethan to fight with your friend because of me..."
Yunyun's rabbit-like red eyes were filled with tears that made Ethan's heart tremble. A cute and pitiful girl like this was a first in his life. After all, in his 18 years of life in the previous world, he had only ever met spoiled rich girls or strong women who could lift city walls.
Meeting a pure girl like Yunyun... well, a cute little neighbor, was a first in his life. How could Ethan not feel his heart soften!
This feeling made Ethan's rough yet gentle hand softly pat Yunyun's head. This intimate action instantly turned Yunyun's face into a cute red apple!
"Don't worry, my friend welcomes a cute girl like Yunyun~. She's just mad at me because I'm a bastard, so Yunyun doesn't need to worry. After all, I'm your friend! Leave everything to me!"
Friend? Outside of Ethan's view, Yunyun's pomegranate-red eyes were filled with tenderness and emotion!

"Hey, did you hear? Apparently, yesterday there was a frog hunter who wiped out most of the frogs on the Axel plains!"
"Really!? Who's that crazy!? Those Giant Frogs number in the thousands! And now they're wiped out!? Who has a grudge against these cute creatures!? We novice adventurers still need money to eat, you know!?"
"Who else but that brick-crazy guy!? Who would've thought that bastard, aside from being brick-crazy, also had a huge grudge against frogs!? This week we might only be able to eat frog meat again! Damn it!"
Hearing the chatter of the adventurers around him, Ethan, who was the subject of the conversation, almost made his eyebrows and mouth twitch. Who would've thought that just by clearing out some frogs, he'd instantly become the talk of these jobless adventurers!?
This also made Yunyun and Eris beside him cover their mouths and chuckle softly.
