"It affects our mood!"

"...Isn't it because there aren't enough seats?"

"Shouldn't I be the one to sit? I'm so petite, it won't be hard for you to sit on my lap."

“Huihui, just say you want to sit on Shichen’s lap,” Youyou bluntly pointed out.

"No, no! I was just thinking of Frilian. Maybe she wouldn't want to."

“I don’t care,” Frillie replied softly without looking up.

"..."

"Shichen, I want to sit on your lap too," Aqua said coquettishly.

"...What's the rush? It's such a long journey, you can just take turns coming."

“You said it!” Aqua happily got into the carriage and sat down next to him.

"Time, can I...can I do it too?" Youyou asked shyly.

"of course."

"Okay!" Youyou happily got into the carriage and sat on the other side of the carriage.

"Ah!" Huihui belatedly realized that there was no room next to Shichen.

She could only sit opposite Darkness.

Soon the carriage set off, and they began to enjoy the scenery along the way. However, in the dead of winter, there were no rooms to see, only white.

There weren't even any wild monsters on the road.

The journey was a bit boring, except for mealtimes, when Shichen would cook barbecue.

Occasionally, Shichen would take Huihui and the others back to the villa.

It's not convenient to go outside.

Unlike Frillie, who already possesses magical powers and can transform everything she eats into magic, Huihui and the others don't need any special abilities.

Aqua doesn't need it either; she's a goddess, and goddesses don't need convenience.

Darkness was quite shrewd; he held it in the whole time, enjoying the discomfort of holding it in, and didn't dare to move at all along the way. He only relieved himself at the hotel when he arrived at his destination.

This girl is hopeless; it's a good thing she didn't leak anything halfway through.

After settling into the hotel and waiting for Darkness to have a rest, she emerged looking refreshed. Shichen then led them on a tour of the holy city of Alcanredia.

"Hmph~ Hmph~" Aqua skipped and jumped happily in time.

She's been like this ever since she got here, as if she's really looking forward to it.

I always feel like I've forgotten something.

Stepping out of the hotel, you can immediately feel the beauty of Alcanretia. It is close to clear lakes and mountains with hot springs. There are canals everywhere, the buildings are all in a blue color scheme, the street scene is very beautiful, and the pedestrians on the street all look full of vitality.

The place gives off such a sense of peace and tranquility.

Luna had told Shichen that they had fought a war with the Demon King's minions here before, but after that battle, they never went near this place again, and the word "Demon" from the Demon King's name never appeared again.

One reason is that this town is home to many priests, who are a very difficult profession to deal with for the Demon King's army.

Secondly, this town is blessed by the water goddess, Aqua.

Hmm? Aqua's favor?

Shi Chen paused for a moment, then suddenly remembered something he had forgotten.

Damn it, isn't this the headquarters of the Axis cult?!

No wonder Aqua was so excited!

"Aqua, you..."

"Welcome to Alcanretia! Are you here for sightseeing? To join the cult? For adventure? Or to be baptized? Oh, and if you're looking for work, be sure to come to the Axis Order! There's a great job out there: just go to other towns and spread the word about how amazing the Axis Cult is, and you can earn money. Plus, there's an extra benefit: anyone who does this job can call themselves an Axis follower! Come on, follow me!"

Suddenly, a woman appeared in front of them, staring at them with a fanatical expression.

It wasn't because of his appearance, but because she felt she could recruit people into the church!

Not only that, in an instant, Shi Chen and his group were surrounded by a group of Axis cultists, each of them with eyes that seemed to glow red, as if they had spotted some prey.

I ran into a large group of Axis cult members as soon as I stepped out. No wonder it's their headquarters!

This is the real reason why the Demon King's army won't appear here: because this town is inhabited by a large number of Axis cultists, and the Demon King's army members don't want to have anything to do with them.

Even the Demon King's army fears the Axis cultists, which shows how terrifying they are.

Chapter 354 The Horror of the Axis Cult

"W-What do we do? Shichen, it seems like we're surrounded!" Huihui asked nervously from behind Shichen.

Everyone here, except for Frilian, knows the horrors of the Axis Cult.

Of course, Aqua might think they're cute.

"Wow, so many people from the Axis Cult..." Even Darkness looked around in fear.

"Time, what do we do?" Youyou asked anxiously.

"Why are you all so afraid of these people?" Frilian asked curiously.

“Frilian, you don’t understand, these people are so abnormal,” Youyou whispered back.

"It does look a bit abnormal, but it doesn't seem that exaggerated."

"I can't really explain this, but this place is the stronghold of the Axis cult, so you should be able to see how terrifying they are."

"is it?"

"Hmph~ I'll take care of this." Aqua walked up to everyone, looking smug.

The goddess worshipped by the Axis religion is Aqua, the goddess of water, which is her. How could she not be pleased?

"Idiot~ What do you want to do? Do you want to reveal your identity?" Shi Chen patted her head lightly, then pulled her back.

"No, that's not true." Aqua covered her head and denied it with dissatisfaction.

"Then what do you want to do?"

"I just......"

"Oh~ what beautiful and shiny light blue hair! Is it natural? I'm so envious! It's so enviable! That feather robe also looks very much like the goddess Aqua's style, it suits you so well!" Suddenly, a female believer praised Aqua.

"Eh? Really? Hahaha, you have good taste." Aqua replied smugly.

"Excuse me, are you also a follower of the Axis religion?"

"Huh? Let's say that."

"As expected! And what about the people around you? Are they also followers of the Axis cult?"

"them......"

"Excuse me, we're on the same team. She's a priestess from the Axis Church. We're here for sightseeing, so we'll take our leave now."

After finishing speaking, he pulled Aqua along and led everyone away.

The followers of the Axis religion waved to them with smiles on their faces when they heard that Aqua was a priestess of the Axis religion.

"Goodbye, comrades, have a wonderful day!"

"..."

After getting quite a distance away, seeing that they hadn't caught up, Huihui and the others couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Great, they didn't catch up."

"I almost thought something bad was going to happen..."

"That's what I think too."

"Is it so scary?"

"Exactly! Why didn't we stay a little longer? I wanted to hear their praise," Aqua asked, dissatisfied.

“Then you can go back and continue listening. We can meet at the hotel tonight,” Shi Chen said.

Although he had not personally experienced the horrors of the Axis followers, he was aware of them and therefore dared not spend much time with them.

"Oh, it doesn't really matter whether you listen or not, I'd rather stay with you guys." Aqua immediately changed her tone and started to whine.

"What are you afraid of? We won't lose you."

"No, we're a team, of course we have to be all together."

"Hehe~ You won't get any wine if you say nice things~" Shi Chen couldn't help but laugh.

"What are you talking about? I'm not doing this for the alcohol! I just want to be with you guys." Aqua retorted righteously.

"Is that so..." Shi Chen almost believed it.

"It's still hard to believe Aqua is a goddess..."

"If Sato hadn't been resurrected that day..."

Huihui and Youyou couldn't help but complain.

"What are you doing? I'm a goddess, okay? In the mortal realm, which woman is as beautiful as me?"

“Aqua, beauty is also related to temperament,” Darkness said.

"Elegance? Am I that lacking in elegance? I have the elegance of a goddess!"

"..."

Aqua's words silenced Megumin and the others.

"What? You've been convinced by me, haven't you? Hmph~" Aqua was still oblivious, looking smug.

"Alright, alright, you're the prettiest, okay? Let's hurry up and buy some things to go back to the hotel for the hot springs..."

"Welcome to Alcanretia! Followers of the Axis religion will share their personal experiences of recovering from illnesses, winning the lottery, and becoming even more talented! How about joining us?"

He was interrupted halfway through his conversation. Looking in the direction of the sound, he discovered that another member of the Axis religion was trying to recruit them.
