Dragon Ball: Saiyan's Gourmet Journey

Chapter 135 Right

The word “friend” surprised Darkness a little. She quickly took out the black crystal used by Eris followers, knelt on one knee, and began to fulfill her wish with excitement.

“Lord Eris, is this your guidance? To allow me to encounter a true friendship at a place like a beauty pageant?”

"Wait, you're from the Cult of Eris?"

"Yes, I am a Crusader serving Master Eris. What's the matter?"

Aqua crossed her arms and wrinkled her face, then asked, "Have you ever thought of converting to another god, such as joining the Axis Cult and believing in the goddess of water?"

Darkness was a little confused when she heard that, but she still shook her head. “How is that possible? I heard that only people with mental problems would join the Axis Cult. And I have no problem with my brain, so how could I join that mentally ill cult?”

"Um?!"

Aqua's eyes widened and her fists clenched.

“Besides, my family has been Eris worshippers for generations. Even if Axis is a relatively normal sect, I cannot change my beliefs and serve any other god besides Eris-sama.”

Darkness is loyal to her faith in the goddess Eris, which is a belief passed down from generation to generation in the Darkness family.

"Then would you mind marrying a follower of the Axis Church?"

Aqua resisted the urge to punch someone and asked again.

"Would you marry someone with a mental disorder?"

If it were a normal person, he would probably ask this question, but is Darkness a normal person?
No, she is not, she is a masochist.

Therefore, she thought seriously about the person she would marry in the future. If he was a follower of a sect that was known to have mental problems, how much trouble would he bring to her?
Maybe that person would drink and beat me, or maybe he wanted a beautiful wife like me to go out and earn money to support the family, and support a useless person like him...

"I'm very happy... ahem, Eris-sama said that we should help those in need, so I wouldn't mind marrying someone who needs me as his other half."

After thinking for a while, Darkness added: "No matter how bad that person is, or what his beliefs are."

"Eh?!"

Aqua was a little surprised. She didn’t expect that Darkness’s answer sounded like that of a virtuous Crusader.

At the same time, Aqua felt relieved: "If that's the case, then there's no need for my disciple to withdraw from the Axis Church."

“Hey, that child is a follower of the Axis Cult?!”

After hearing Aqua's words, it was Darkness' turn to widen her eyes.

"Why, you don't want to be friends with my disciple just because he is a follower of the Axis Cult?"

Aqua looked at Darkness with a scrutinizing gaze. If Darkness was the kind of hypocritical person who said one thing and meant another, she would not be able to pass the test of her goddess master.

"No, how could I not want to be friends with him?!"

Darkness quickly denied it, saying that this was the guidance given to her by Lady Eris.

“As expected of Eris-sama, you are so broad-minded that you can even guide the followers of the Axis Cult to be my friends…”

Darkness sincerely thanked the goddess she served, because the goddess guided new friends to her according to her own XP.

Wait, XP, friends?
No, this is no longer a friend, but the other half of your life.

It’s right, absolutely right.

My prayer in church this morning is to have a friend who will never abandon me.

And what kind of friend will never abandon you? Of course, it is your other half in life.

[Thank you for your guidance, Lady Eris!] Although she was not familiar with the details of the boy judge who would become her friend, Darkness was ready to date an XP target (a scumbag of the opposite sex) and decided to accept the guidance of her destiny from the goddess she served.

[How will that child treat me?!]

Darkness thought with some anticipation.

Aqua looked at Darkness who suddenly fell into a delusional state. She didn’t quite understand what was wrong with this girl, but since she was willing to be friends with Broly after knowing that her disciple was a follower of Axis, then she deserved her recognition as a master.

"Very good. I will take you to meet my lovely disciple tonight and let you make friends with my lovely disciple."

Aqua said.

"Hey, so fast?"

"When it comes to making friends, of course the sooner the better!"

"Then please allow me to prepare well."

Darkness had never made friends in such a formal way before, so she seemed a little flustered, but her upbringing as a noble helped her remain calm.

I must dress up nicely tonight and leave a very good impression in front of the new friends that Lady Eris has introduced to me.

Darkness seemed to have forgotten that the scene of her having a stone shattered on her chest during the beauty pageant was already enough to leave a deep impression on people.

. . . .

At the same time, in the hot spring capital [Acanretia], after hearing the prayers of the believers, the white-haired goddess who chose to secretly descend from heaven and prepare to become Darkness's friend, under the alias of Chris, is in trouble.

"How am I going to compensate you, you bastard from the Church of Eris, for the antique bottle you broke?"

The Axis believer said.

"Excuse me, how much compensation do you want me to pay?"

Eris had never seen such a scene before, so she could only keep apologizing to the person in front of her and was ready to take out her wallet to pay compensation.

"Eh?!"

The Akusis cultist who was trying to scam the girl was stunned. He didn't expect that the thief girl in front of him was so easy to deal with. He rolled his eyes and prepared to blackmail the girl.

"This bottle of mine is from a hundred years ago..."

As the man began to tell the historical story of the bottle, a roar was heard behind him.

"You bastards from the Axis Cult, I've already told you not to come out and mess up things and tarnish the reputation of Acanretia!"

"Oh no! It's the city sheriff. Humph, you're lucky this time. Next time, I will make you, an evil Eris cultist, bankrupt!"

The Axis Cultist left these words behind and fled in another direction.

"Are you okay, little girl?"

"What is this?"

“You must have almost been fooled. I wonder where those bastards from the Axis Cult learned how to scam passersby and recruit them into their cult…”

The sheriff cursed, and the thief girl finally reacted at this time. She pointed at the broken bottle on the ground and asked: "So, this is not an antique?"

“Of course they’re not antiques. They’re defective goods that the Axis Cult purchased in bulk from ceramic workshops. They’d only cost four or five hundred eris if sold on a street stall, and there’s no guarantee that anyone would buy them…”
