The Infinite Journey of a Certain Flame

The adventurers eagerly awaited, hoping to hear some useful information from Aqua.

Kiana, the person involved, blinked and turned her gaze to the goddess she had met once before, wondering how she would introduce herself.

result...

"That guy again, uh... um, uh! Ahhhhhh!"

Aqua clutched her head and screamed wildly, as if recalling some indescribable terror, which startled Kazuma and the other adventurers nearby, who stared wide-eyed.

"Well, I can't remember."

A moment later, Aqua gave up struggling and said something rather nonchalantly...

The next second, she was flipped over by Kazuma and slammed to the ground.

"Tch, I was so stupid to pin my hopes on you!"

After dealing with his overreacting companion, Kazuma helped Megumin up from the ground and then untied her body.

After finishing, the time traveler crossed his arms and, with a rather arrogant air, addressed Kiana:

"Hey, I don't know where you came from. But since you know the true identity of this idiot goddess, you must also know who I am, right?"

Um...

Who is this man again?

Because the system has not yet provided an explanation, Kiana has no idea about He Zhen's true identity.

There were many doubts about his attitude.

What kind of person would speak so arrogantly?

Could it be... an enemy?

Thinking of this, Kiana silently raised her sword:

"...Who are you?"

When they saw the King's Sword, which had cleaved the Demon King's army officer in two, being drawn from its sheath.

A deathly silence fell over the scene...

Before long, the adventurers all made a habitual move.

Without a word, they dashed away dozens of meters away, acting like bystanders who didn't care about anything.

Looking at his companion who was confronting Kiana...

The sudden abandonment did not cause the person involved to panic.

Or perhaps, he was so flustered that he didn't even bother to pay attention to his good-for-nothing adventurer companions.

Even though his legs were trembling uncontrollably, the man still tried to remain calm and shouted:

"What? Even I and Grandpa Zhen didn't know? I bet you—!"

"Wait, Kazuma!"

Before he could finish speaking, the female knight beside him suddenly reached out and stopped him.

Wow! That's great, Darkness, you've finally been reliable for once!

Hey, wait a minute, that look in your eyes...

Because he knew the female knight's character quite well, Kazuma quickly realized it.

This guy's acting up again!

"Whoosh..."

The female knight named Darkness looked at Kiana, panting, a hint of something unusual flickering in her eyes...

Facing the blazing sword, she showed no fear; instead, she eagerly stepped forward.

"Hmm? You are...?"

[Host, a strange person is watching you.]

"Huh?" Kiana wondered to herself.

Before she could even process what was happening, she was stunned for long.

The female knight charged over without saying a word!

"What's going on?! You—!"

"Ah! Beautiful princess, please ravage me as you please!"

Darkness leaped forward and knelt on one knee in front of Kiana, her demeanor behaving exactly like that of a proper knight.

But words...

However, it reveals a kind of funny feeling that makes people laugh and cry.

Kiana, the person involved, could only smile helplessly at this strange request.

"I'm sorry, no."

"How could this be!"

Darkness froze on the spot, as if it were such a pity that she hadn't won Kiana's favor.

This was something that not only her companions and Kazuma found extremely difficult to accept, but even Kiana herself found it hard to accept.

"System, can you explain to me what's going on with these people? Who are Aqua teaming up with?"

[Yes, sir. Here's the situation...]

Through the system's concise yet informative explanation, Kiana gradually realized...

Why did it utter that rhetorical question, "Host, do you think this is a normal world?"?

Well, they seem to be a very interesting group of people.

Realizing this, Kiana tossed her ponytail and then stated quite decisively:

“I just found out. It seems you and Akya have a good relationship.”

"Who's getting along well with this idiot goddess! You bastard—!"

Kiana silently plunged the King's Sword into the earth, then gazed at the man with an incomparably majestic look.

With just a glance, Kazuma immediately backed down and changed the subject.

"This is a huge help!"

"No, I think this monster is pretty easy to deal with."

"No, no, no, how could the Demon King's army's officers be easy to deal with? Anyway... I thank you on behalf of this fool."

Kazuma smiled kindly, then helped Megumin up from the ground and began to thank Kiana.

Kiana, as the person involved, didn't take these people's gratitude to heart.

She didn't come here to hear any thanks.

"My name is Kiana, an unknown traveler. It's nice to meet you."

“A traveler…?” Darkness, recovering from her disappointment, asked with some confusion, “Isn’t it Her Highness the Princess?”

"...No, no."

"How could that be! But it's alright, beautiful lady, you will always be my beloved master!"

Darkness said these words in a very serious tone, which made Kazuma and Megumin look helpless and annoyed.

Kiana, the person involved, had absolutely no idea what to say.

"..."

[Host, do you feel how exciting it is to be watched by a strange person?]

"That's all, it feels a little strange, but it's nothing."

"Then you'd better be careful; I think she might not be content to stop here."

For some reason, Kiana felt a strange sense of dread after hearing the system's friendly reminder.

Is this what it feels like to be targeted by a weirdo...? To be honest, it's a bit strange.

"Hey, can you take me into the city? I want to register to become an adventurer."

"Wow..."

Upon hearing that Kiana actually planned to sign up as an adventurer in this beginner city, Kazuma and the others were all astonished.

They couldn't understand why an adventurer of Kiana's caliber would choose to sign up here.

However, prying into other people's privacy is ultimately not a good thing.

Besides, what if she slashes at me with her sword if I don't comply?

Not wanting to die inexplicably, Kazuma and the others looked at each other in bewilderment and ultimately decided to grant Kiana's request.

They successfully brought him to the association and registered him as a qualified adventurer.

Not long after Kiana successfully became an adventurer, the goddess Aqua, who had been knocked unconscious by Kazuma, finally woke up.

"Huh? I...I..."

Feeling aches and pains in her back, she slowly got up from the chair, only to find that the white-haired girl she seemed to have met once before was now sitting next to her.

"Awake? Phew, let's continue our conversation. Long time no see, Aqua, the goddess of water. Do you even remember me?"

A Certain Flame's Otherworldly Undercover Mission (Konosuba): Chapter Seven: Are you saying you've entrusted this goddess to me?

"What?"

Because Kazuma had thrown her quite hard, Aqua's head was still buzzing even now.

The noise in her head made her thoughts increasingly muddled.

Finally, after much recollection...

This goddess who had fallen to the mortal realm finally remembered that before she was taken down to the mortal world by a certain transmigrator, she had also met a transmigrator who did not follow the usual path.
