Although it is shameful, I have to admit that except for going to the toilet for a long time, men are extremely fast in other things.
The same goes for hot springs.
After Sato Kazuma didn't meet the opposite sex for a long time, he chose to go back out of interest.
Xiao Lin also followed.
Unexpectedly, when the two of them were getting dressed, they suddenly heard voices coming from the dressing room next door.
"Hurry up, Darkness, Yoyo, why are you two dragging your feet!"
"Slow down Megumin, don't be so anxious, it will be bad if you fall here."
"Megumin, don't cause trouble to others."
is their companion.
There are three girls in the team except Aqua.
Of course, the shameless girls did not come to the mixed bathing, but were in the women's pool on the far left. However, because the walls of the locker room were relatively thin, Kobayashi and Sato Kazuma could still hear their conversations.
They are really energetic.
Let's break away from the poison of Axis Cult and enjoy the hard-earned leisure for a while.
Just when Kobayashi was thinking this, he discovered that Sato Kazuma, who had already put on his clothes, silently took off his clothes again.
Hold his shoulders.
"Wait a minute, Sato-kun."
"Please leave me alone, Senior Xiaolin. I suddenly felt that I didn't have enough fun, so I wanted to relive it again. After all, what big sister said just now proves that there may never be such a good opportunity again in the future."
"It's such a good opportunity for peeping."
You can guess with your butt what Kazuma Sato is thinking.
There must be no chance to take a mixed bath with a girl, and the bath with my eldest sister just wasn't enjoyable enough, so I thought of going back and peeping.
But no.
Regardless of whether the people in the female pool are companions or not, Xiao Lin will never allow this kind of behavior.
Because this is already a crime.
"Senior Xiaolin, this is my life's request. So, please!"
"No. Didn't you just use your lifetime request? I can't let you be willful this time. Besides, if you take this opportunity to change your image, Huihui and the others will think more highly of you, isn't it good?"
"No————!"
No matter how much Sato Kazuma begged, Kobayashi would never let go and forcefully took him back to the room.
Although I don’t know if girls will be suspicious when taking a bath, but if they find out that Sato Kazuma is not taking a mixed bath, they will definitely feel guilty. By then, they will be able to barely reverse the negative impact of the title of ghost Kazuma.
————
After returning to the room.
Aqua has returned from church.
At this moment, she was burying her head in Wiz's chest and crying loudly, as if she had been wronged a lot.
"unacceptable!"
"Please let me go, Aqua-sama..."
Aqua's tears had a sacred aura, which would make the Lich Girl's skin tingle very much. But being hugged, she had nowhere to hide and could only plead.
Xiaolin, who couldn't stand it anymore, opened it and was gratefully thanked by Wiz.
The stupid goddess turned around and lay in Xiao Lin's arms, soaking his chest in just a second, crying and shouting: "I didn't do anything wrong, I just went to take a bath in the hot spring... Why, Why should you blame me!"
Kazuma Sato, who was troubled by the unsuccessful peeping, asked unhappily: "What's wrong? What kind of weird phenomenon did you cause today and how many people did you cause trouble to?"
"What a weird phenomenon! What trouble are you causing! Why do you always conclude that I did something wrong?!"
Aqua suddenly raised her head and roared at Sato Kazuma.
Although I know that it is very bad to blame your companions all the time, 99% of the time every trouble is caused by them, there is no need to doubt it.
Just like Sato Kazuma who chose mixed bathing without hesitation, Aqua's ability to cause trouble leaves no one in doubt.
Wiz explained: "It's like this... After Aqua-sama soaked in the Axis Cult's hot spring, the hot spring turned into ordinary hot water, so..."
"So I was kicked out! I am obviously a goddess, why did I have to be kicked out of the church that worships me! Why!"
Who are you asking?
Only then did Sato Kazuma remember that Aqua's characteristic was to purify the water that touched her body, so it was not impossible that the hot springs would be purified.
In other words, the hot springs are purified because of something.
He looked at Xiao Lin and found that Xiao Lin was also looking at him. After exchanging glances, he immediately recalled what happened in the mixed bath just now.
"Also! What makes me most angry is that I said this to the person who manages the hot spring! "It's my fault for turning the hot spring into hot water. I can apologize! But this is also something that can't be helped! Yes, because I It's the goddess of water! Aqua herself!" As a result, the manager... oooh... actually laughed with a "huh" through his nose...! I am a goddess! I am obviously a goddess! "
After Aqua finished speaking, she burst into tears again.
Xiao Lin had just finished taking a bath in the hot spring, and he actually had the illusion of taking another bath. If she performs this, maybe the manager will believe that she is the goddess of water.
And Sato Kazuma stared at Aqua for a moment, and then...
"snort."
"Whoaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"
The excited stupid goddess rushed forward and tore with him.
————
the next day.
Early in the morning, everyone gathered on the first floor of the hotel, which was the dining area.
While eating breakfast, Aqua suddenly said seriously: "This town seems to be in crisis."
"Why do you say that? In terms of danger, your special physique is the most dangerous. From now on, you are only allowed to bathe in the open-air bath attached to the room."
Sato Kazuma, who just wanted to stay away from trouble, was the first to jump out and refute her.
"Listen to me!"
Aqua slammed the table and said, "I don't like purifying hot springs. Even the high-end bathing agents that Darkness put in the mansion's bath are the same. I tried pouring them all into the pool, but the result was still the same. It was purified in two or three strokes.”
"Hey, have you used all those bath products? I just bought them by mail order from the royal capital."
"It does not matter."
Ignoring Darkness's cry, she continued: "But it's strange. When I soaked in the Axis Order's hot spring, I spent a lot of time purifying the hot spring. Speaking of my purification ability, it is extremely powerful. Oh. For example..."
At this point, she suddenly put her index finger into Xiao Lin's coffee. In just a moment, the black coffee turned into transparent hot water.
"look!"
"Look at you big-headed devil!"
Xiao Lin rolled his eyes angrily.
Aqua licked her fingers and said to everyone: "As you can see, generally it is like this, and it ends in an instant. However, it only took a lot of time at that time, which proves that the hot spring Pretty heavily contaminated.”
"oh oh……"
"Recently, people everywhere in town are saying that the quality of hot springs has declined. Maybe the Demon King's army feels that the Axis Cult is a threat and feels that it cannot defeat them head-on, so they want to take away the most important financial source of the cult."
"This is so scary..." X4
"Believe me!"
Seeing that the four members of the team were perfunctory in unison, she slapped the table hard in protest.
"After all, would the Demon King's army do something so roundabout?"
...It’s already being done, okay!
Megumin's question made Sato Kazuma break into a cold sweat.
It would be a good thing if the action was stopped like this, but if the Demon King's army were here, they would definitely make a big fuss.
Someone will immediately report this matter to the Adventurer's Guild, and they will be forced to assist, and the rare hot spring trip will be ruined. Based on the idea that doing more is worse than doing less, it’s better not to say anything.
This man's subconscious mind is thinking about escaping.
"I want to rise up to protect this town! So everyone is willing to help me!"
"I'm going to go for a walk, no."
"I have clearly understood how terrifying the Axis cultists are, so I will not accompany them today."
"me too."
Aqua's request was immediately rejected by Sato Kazuma and the two Crimson Demon girls. They have been tortured, and even if the Demon King's army attacks, they still wish that this town would just wither away.
"X-Xiao Lin..."
"Stop crying, I will stay with you."
The only thing the Stupid Goddess cares about most is her followers. Maybe her base is far different from that of the Eris Cultists. As Aqua said, she would do anything for them.
When the Axis Cult is facing a crisis, how could the believed Goddess of Water not help? ...Although her identity as a goddess is not recognized.
"Where's Darkness?"
"I……"
"It's okay, Darkness. It doesn't matter if you don't come to help. Just go shopping with Megumin and the others. I'll take care of Xiaolin."
Aqua was like a fallen girl who didn't care about anything else as long as she had "this", and turned around and abandoned the female knight.
Hearing this, Darkness was relieved. After all, she preferred to go to the streets to find new excitement.
After that, Xiaolin took Liuzi and set off with Aqua.
Unlike the tourists who came for sightseeing, they were not harassed by the Axis cultists. Just because of the Axis Cult emblem on Xiaolin's forehead and Aqua's long aqua-blue hair.
"Aqua, what are you going to do?"
"What?"
"Didn't you clamor to come about the town hot spring? Didn't you just rush out without thinking of any countermeasures?"
"Well..."
Aqua rolled her eyes, wanting to appear prepared. But you don't need to think about it to know that if she had that IQ, she wouldn't be called a stupid goddess.
"By the way, I have an idea!"
The stupid goddess didn't know what she was thinking of and ran towards Axis Church happily. Just when Xiaolin thought that she was going to ask the church for help, she never expected that she would ask her to soak in the church's hot spring again.
"Hello……"
"You come too!"
Without giving Xiao Lin a chance to retort, the stupid goddess grabbed his arm and walked to the hot spring, then took off his clothes, moving so fast that there was no time to stop him.
"Wait, wait! Why do you need to take off your clothes!"
"I want to confirm again whether the hot spring is really contaminated. Also, Xiaolin, please take off your clothes and come in! At least I have to make you believe it!"
Aqua urged him.
Hot springs, goddesses, solitude.
Xiao Lin bets that no man can refuse this invitation.
However, even though the goddess's beautiful body was displayed in front of him, he didn't react at all, so much so that he wanted to shout: Niu Niu, what's wrong with you, Niu Niu!
Damn mandatory saint!
I soaked in a hot spring that was neither salty nor bland.
Maybe because I was too close to the stupid goddess, I didn't feel the polluted smell of the hot spring. However, the sensitive goddess felt it and was sure that it was the Demon King's army that did it.
In order to confirm whether the hot springs in the entire town were contaminated, Aqua took him to visit most of the hot spring pools. Xiaolin felt a lot swollen after soaking in the water from morning to night.
Then.
Aqua, who was finally sure, borrowed a big speaker from somewhere and pulled Xiaolin to the center of the hot spring on the street.
She first performed a talent show, which attracted many people to watch, and then she started her speech.
"Dear Axis cultists! This town is currently being invaded by the sabotage actions of the Demon King's army! As for what actions they took... they mixed poison into the hot springs of this town! After my confirmation, Many hot springs have been damaged!"
The point is right from the start.
But being too straightforward may seem alarmist to others.
Someone immediately stood up and questioned.
"I haven't heard about this. I just soaked in a nearby hot spring and didn't feel anything bad!"
"That's because I am purifying toxins in hot springs everywhere, and I have also purified all the hot springs in this area. But I can't rest assured yet, so I have something that requires everyone's cooperation - before this matter is resolved, Please don’t bathe in hot springs!”
Hearing what she said, everyone around started talking.
Aqua motioned to Kobayashi to say something.
Just when he was about to speak, another uncle said: "This is a hot spring town, Miss Priest. Hot springs are our important tool to attract customers. If you tell everyone not to go to the hot springs, won't we be unable to make money?"
"That's right, that's right. Besides, why would the Demon King's army poison the hot springs?"
The crowd's questions were the same as Megumin's, and Aqua immediately spoke out her previous guesses again.
Although it is groundless and unworthy of belief, in fact, judging from the information obtained by Xiao Lin, this is indeed the case. ——The purpose of the Demon King's Army is to cut off the financial resources of the Axis Sect and thereby bring down the Axis Sect.
"Ah! In a place like this!"
At this time, the owner of the hot spring hotel he had visited before pointed at Aqua standing on the box and shouted loudly: "You guy! What good things did you do to our hotel's hot spring! How could you become an ordinary person?" Hot water!"
"Hey, everyone, hurry up and help catch that guy! That woman is here to cause destruction. She turned all the hot springs in the town into hot water!"
"Yes, she is most likely a minion of the Demon King's Army, sent to destroy this hot spring town where the Axis Order is based!"
Not just him, everyone else shouted. For some reason, it suddenly became clear that Aqua was from the Demon King's Army.
The misunderstood idiot goddess naturally quit, and she shouted loudly: "Listen to you people! I am a goddess! Yes, I am Aqua, the goddess of water! My lovely believers, like you As you can see, I personally came here to save you!”
The originally noisy audience below immediately fell into silence.
There is a bad atmosphere brewing.
Suddenly, there was a burst of yelling and cursing.
"Stop talking nonsense, you rude fellow!"
"I just want to pretend to be the goddess Aqua because I have blue hair and blue eyes, so be careful!"
"Hurry up and throw her into the lake! Since she says she is the goddess of water, she must not be anything bad if she is thrown into the lake!"
As they spoke, the angry crowd began to throw stones at Aqua.
"Whoa, ah, ah! Stop, stop! I'm really a goddess!"
The stupid goddess scurried away with her head in her arms.
However, the already irritated audience did not listen to her explanation at all, and even thought that she was still offending the goddess, so they threw the stones even harder.
Being denied by her own believers, this goddess has failed too much, right?
Although there was something wrong with Xiaolin for allowing the situation to develop, if the stupid goddess was not allowed to do this, she would definitely make a lot of noise.
I just didn't expect the reaction to be so strong.
As a last resort, Xiaolin had no choice but to take Aqua and escape with the help of Liu Zi's [Imaginary Number Switch].
