[Then Aqua saw a perfect quest for her: "The town's lake is deteriorating, and ferocious alligators are starting to infest it, so we request that the water be purified!"]
"Once the water is purified, the monster will leave, so you don't need to fight it!"
Kazuma uttered a profound question: "Can you purify water?!"
Aqua, now brimming with confidence, tossed her hair slightly and said, "Who do you take me for! Just from my name and appearance, you should know I'm some kind of goddess, like a division chief!"
[He calmly retorted, "The goddess of the banquet, perhaps..."]
"It's the goddess of water! Can't you see my beautiful water-colored eyes and hair?! And a goddess of my caliber can purify water simply by touching it!"
[However, monsters might interfere when purifying the water, so Aqua has to seek help from Kazuma.]
Kazuma pondered for a moment, then quickly came up with a way to both avoid being harassed by monsters and purify the water!
"Kazuma's comment is spot on! Aqua with all her banquet skills maxed out, what else could she be but a banquet goddess!"
"What...she's actually the goddess of water? I thought she was a goddess with mental disabilities! After all, I've never seen a goddess with such low intelligence before."
The people from other worlds were stunned, after all, in every sense of the word, they really thought Aqua was a mentally challenged goddess!
After all, what kind of goddess do those light blue eyes and hair resemble? What else could they resemble but an idiot? If wisdom had a color, it would definitely be blue.
Academy City World
Shirai Kuroko slapped her forehead: "Aqua was so down-to-earth before, I almost forgot that she's actually a god!"
You can't blame her, after all, Aqua is someone who doesn't care at all and is willing to work and sleep in the stable with Kazuma.
She even lacks morals, and can kneel down and hug someone's leg to cry and complain about being heavily in debt... Any normal person who sees Aqua like this would forget that she is a god.
Misaka Mikoto's mouth gaped slightly: "It can purify water just by touching it, it's definitely a large-scale water purifier!"
I never expected that Aqua, as a god, would possess such a trait. I really underestimated her before.
[The scene shifts to a spot not far from the lake, where Aqua sits in a specially made cage, looking aggrieved, her arms wrapped around her knees, her voice hesitant: "Um... is this really necessary?!"]
Kazuma turned to look at her: "What's wrong with your flawless plan?"
Aqua felt a deep unease: "I have this feeling that a rare monster I've been captured is about to be sold..."
[Her unease was understandable, because Kazuma and Darkness together threw the cage that imprisoned Aqua into the lake, and the cage was secured with a sturdy iron chain!]
[Aqua, sitting with her legs drawn up, had her toes and buttocks submerged in the lake water, while Kazuma and the others waited quietly under a tree in the distance.]
[Aqua hugged her knees, feeling somewhat numb: "I feel like a tea bag being extracted for its essence."] (Read super exciting novels at Feilu Novel Network!)
"Haha, Aqua's analogy is just too apt."
"Who remembers that Aqua was a goddess, yet Kazuma locked her in a cage and threw her into the lake without any courtesy?"
Some people couldn't help but chuckle. It has to be said that Kazuma didn't treat Aqua like a goddess at all, or even like a human being.
Two hours later, Aqua's panicked voice suddenly rang out: "Kazuma... Kazuma, something's coming!"
[A purple-skinned crocodile appeared on the lake's surface, its red eyes fixed on Aqua as if she were its prey!]
Meanwhile, the people on the shore remained remarkably calm as they watched everything unfold: "Wow, a whole bunch of them have arrived!"
[As the crocodiles continued to tear at the cage, several hours passed. Aqua, who initially only wanted to use her physical abilities to purify the lake, was now intently chanting purification magic!]
"—!!"
The crocodiles outside kept ramming against the cage, and Aqua's desire to purify the lake grew increasingly urgent, as she continuously cast purification spells.
[The crocodile bit into the cage and performed a death roll. Aqua spun around inside the cage, her voice filled with panic: "The cage... the cage is making strange noises!"]
Kazuma yells at Aqua, "Just say you want to give up! We'll use the chains to pull you out of the cage!"
Without even thinking, Aqua refused outright: "No... If we give up now, we won't get the bounty!"
[And so Aqua continued to use purification magic. Several hours later, the noise subsided, and the lake water became crystal clear.]
The cage, riddled with holes, stood alone by the lake. The cage, gnawed by a brutal alligator, bore the marks of its teeth everywhere.
"Mission accomplished! Let's go back."
Seven hours have passed since the purification began. Aqua is now completely numb, her eyes vacant, as if she's been utterly destroyed.
“…Let’s just leave it like this…” Aqua hugged her legs, burying her face between them, her shoulders trembling. “The world outside the cage is so scary. Just take me back to town like this…!”
"I admire Aqua's spirit of prioritizing money over her life, even though she's a goddess. She's truly outstanding!"
"Putting everything else aside, this cage is really sturdy; it withstood the crocodile monster's attacks for so long!"
Seven hours...!! Everyone looked at Aqua on the screen with some pity. Although she was a bit dim-witted and unlucky, it shouldn't be this bad!
A perfectly good goddess has been completely ruined now; she'll probably have a lifelong phobia of crocodiles.
Kazuma clearly asked her if she wanted to give up, but Aqua refused and chose to risk her life for money. I can only say that's typical of you...
Chapter 447 The True Hero, Yujian Xiangye! Is the team truly excellent?
On the other side of the screen, in stark contrast to the atmosphere here, a hero wields a demonic sword, facing an ancient dragon alone.
"If we let this guy go unchecked, many people will get hurt, and some will even lose their lives. Only we can defeat him!"
[He was actually a reincarnated being drawn to this other world by Aqua, and was bestowed with the exclusive divine weapon, the demonic sword Gram. Monsters below level 80 could be killed with a single blow by him.]
With a single slash, he obliterated the ancient dragon, leaving not a trace.
Such formidable strength also sparked jealousy and rivalry between the two girls nearby.
Little did the hero know that what mattered most to him was the beautiful goddess: "I will definitely save this world for you to see, because it's a promise I made to that person!"
"Tears welling up... There's actually a normal person in this world. That's a true hero, the kind who's genuinely saving the world!"
"This is what a protagonist in a classic manga should be like: powerful strength and equipment, soloing an ancient dragon, and having female admirers by his side."
Seeing a normal hero for the first time, everyone was moved to tears... This is the real hero who came to save the world, defeating monsters and saving the people!
In contrast, what is Kazuma doing?! He's carrying bricks, cleaning mortar, and sleeping in the stable with the goddess, doing nothing all day long. He only does missions when he's broke, and he doesn't feel any sense of urgency at all.
As for defeating the Demon King?! Aside from mentioning it once, they haven't taken any concrete action. The goddess is even working every day to pay off her debts; they seem more like they're just going through the motions!
Re:Zero -Starting Life in Zero
Seeing this, Natsuki Subaru slowly nodded: "That's more like it. Now it's just like the RPG games I used to play!"
So this is the real hero! There's actually a normal person here. I almost thought the whole world was full of crazy people.
Kazuma, take a good look. This is the true path of a hero. You need to learn what it means to do something worthwhile!
"As for the beautiful goddess... this hero's eyesight might not be very good."
"Huh?!" Emilia, whom they had just met, exclaimed in surprise, "Isn't this goddess Aqua beautiful?!"
Natsuki Subaru said expressionlessly, "Although she is very beautiful, but... would a human fall in love with a monkey?"
He actually dared to make a promise with Aqua to save the world... Ha, Subaru Natsuki is sure that with the latter's pitifully low IQ, she probably forgot about it long ago.
"A goddess is locked in an iron cage."
Just then, the hero seemed to hear the goddess's familiar voice. He rushed through the alley and ran towards the source of the sound.
Then he saw his beloved goddess being paraded through the streets in an iron cage, and he immediately broke down: "Goddess... Goddess!!!"
The hero yelled and rushed to Aqua, who had locked herself in a cage, grabbing the cage: "M-Goddess! Isn't this Goddess?"
The hero bent the iron cage and reached out his hand towards Aqua: "What are you doing, in a place like that..."
Kazuma moved closer to Aqua, who was still withdrawn, and whispered, "Hey, that's someone you know, right? He mentioned goddesses and stuff. Talk to him about it!"
Aqua's eyes glazed over, her face blank, before her gaze returned to its usual intensity: "...Yes, goddess! I am a goddess!"
Aqua, having emerged from her cage, tilted her head at the hero in blue armor: "What do you want with this goddess?... Who are you?"
The hero's eyes widened in shock: "It's me! Mitsurugi Hibiki! The Mitsurugi Hibiki who received the Demon Sword Gram from you and was reincarnated into this world!!"
Aqua tilted her head, paused for a moment, then exclaimed with sudden realization, "Aha!! There is such a person. I completely forgot, I sent quite a few people over!"
Despite her slightly embarrassed expression, Mikage Hibiki didn't seem to mind: "Long time no see, Aqua-sama! By the way... why were you locked in a cage?"
"This brave man has impressive arm strength. He can bend the cage that those brutal alligators couldn't bite through with their bare hands."
"Hahaha, why was she locked in a cage? Can I say that Aqua did it voluntarily?"
Even if I told you, the hero probably wouldn't believe it. After all, who would have thought that Aqua, a goddess, would be driven to despair by a mere crocodile, finding only a semblance of safety in a cage?
"It's rare to see Mitsurugi Hibiki working so hard to save the world... but for some reason, I feel so sorry for him!"
Everyone covered their mouths, trying hard to suppress their laughter; this serious hero seemed to be in a bit of a predicament.
The goddess he had been longing for was completely ignored by He Zhen. She was treated like a public humiliation, locked in a cage and dragged away.
He always kept his promise to the goddess in mind and worked hard as a hero... but Aqua didn't even remember the promise, let alone the person, and didn't take it seriously at all.
Type-Moon Fifth World War
"Just how many people did Aqua throw into this world... that she has absolutely no recollection of Miles Edgeworth."
Emiya Shirou opened his mouth, then sighed helplessly, his eyes filled with speechlessness. As expected of you, Aqua-sama.
Suddenly I feel sorry for the Demon King of this world, because countless heroes have descended upon it; there might be a hero in every village.
Rin Tohsaka silently shook her head, a look of indescribable helplessness on her face, feeling equally speechless: "Aqua doesn't use the same rhetoric to fool every reincarnated person, does she...?"
Aqua's actions were always beyond her expectations, yet they seemed perfectly reasonable in her own way.
