The Infinite Journey of a Certain Flame

"Nothing much, anyway, you'll have to teach this goddess a lesson again. Hmm? Wow, interesting... This guy seems to have been planning this for a long time, he's made so many preparations?"

"System, what do you mean by that?" Kiana, after hearing the system's remark, slowly fixed her gaze on the blue-haired goddess before her. "Could it be that she's carrying a lot of dangerous items? Could they explode?"

I'm not sure, but she's acting a bit crazy right now. You should teach her a serious lesson; it would be best if it left her with lifelong trauma.

A Certain Infernal Affairs in Another World (Konosuba): Chapter Nineteen - A Frenzy of Slapping at the Goddess

It left a lifelong shadow...

Wow, isn't that a bit too much?

Kiana didn't harbor much hatred towards Aqua; on the contrary, she found this lively but not adorable goddess quite interesting.

It's strange, even though I've fallen so many times, I can recover so quickly.

Even after being taught a lesson many times, they still shamelessly challenge themselves.

Even if the cycle of failure, getting up, failing again, and getting up again is repeated.

This goddess seems to never get tired...

"What an idiot."

Ultimately, Kiana gave this assessment.

Although it's just one sentence, it perfectly describes this goddess.

However, the word "idiot" doesn't actually carry much of a negative connotation.

After all, Kiana does quite like idiots.

"Hey, why aren't you saying anything? Hahaha, could it be... you're scared?"

The rare appreciation vanished the moment the other person spoke, replaced by an unbearable displeasure and disgust.

"Would you like to have a go at me?"

"That's right!"

Akya raised her hands and waved them vigorously, like a child sulking.

That actually fits her "dumb goddess" persona quite well.

However, such actions are somewhat annoying to people.

Kiana was already itching to teach this goddess a lesson.

"System, you told me it would be best to teach her a lesson that leaves a lasting impression, right?"

That's right.

"Is there a mission?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the system's task notification sounded in perfect unison.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have triggered a side quest: Special Attack on the Goddess! (Physical)]

[Mission Completion Method: Teach Aqua a lesson for her repeated provocations.]

[Maximum reward for completing the mission: 1000 Herrscher Points.]

[Friendly reminder: The goddess of water is more resilient than you might imagine, so there's no need to worry about her life being in danger.]

The system was remarkably timely; Kiana was quite surprised that this guy was so decisive.

Without saying much, it handed over the task.

Hmm...that's good~

"So, shall we begin now? It's a one-on-one duel, right? Heh. Come on."

Kiana clapped her hands and gave a faint smile.

At this moment, she had already figured out how to teach this foolish goddess a lesson.

Now, all that's left is for her...

"What? One-on-one? Haha! Don't get me wrong!"

"what?"

"Who wants to fight you one-on-one, you idiot!" Aqua, seemingly emboldened by some unknown source, pointed at Kiana with an arrogant expression, declaring, "I have so many allies here, if we all attack together, we'll overpower you—! Hey? Hey! Where did everyone go!"

Just as Aqua was confidently preparing for a fair and just one-on-one duel between all the adventurers and Kiana.

To her surprise, the adventurers who should have stood behind her, on her side...

Did they sneak away during our conversation?

This is outrageous!

"Why did you run away? Damn it!!!"

The goddess, weak, helpless, and pitiful, sat sprawled on the ground, pounding the floor in indignation at the adventurers' betrayal.

She was overjoyed to hear that these guys were actually going to team up against this annoying white-haired girl.

After all, just seeing her riding on his head, strutting around like she did with the same white hair as her junior Eris, was incredibly daunting.

Akya then felt from the bottom of her heart... Why was she becoming more and more useless?!

As a noble water goddess, Aqua still has some self-respect!

However, the current situation is that her pride... might bring disaster...

"Kazuma, Megumin, we... eh!"

When she realized that the adventurers were unreliable, Akia naturally placed her hopes on her true companions.

However...

however!

Why are they standing behind that woman?

"Aqua, good luck! I believe in you!" Kazuma grinned mischievously, clearly gloating.

"You idiot Aqua, just wait until the captain teaches you a lesson."

Huihui held the staff in her arms, her expression slightly stern, clearly waiting to see her make a fool of herself.

As for Darkness, she looked at herself with envy.

It felt like I was envied for the setbacks I was about to face.

Damn it, none of these guys are reliable!

Although she had long realized that her companions were unreliable, at this moment Akaya finally realized that they had completely screwed her over.

Under such disadvantageous conditions, it was only natural that this goddess began to back down.

"Um... I give up, okay—!"

"Alright, let's begin!"

Before Aqua could beg for mercy, Kiana rushed forward without saying a word and grabbed the goddess's head.

With just one move, the outcome was decided.

The goddess was powerless to resist and struggled to escape, but Kiana reacted quickly and grabbed her slender waist.

"It's over!"

When she was hugged again, Aqua quickly covered her head, intending to withstand the upcoming back throw.

Unfortunately, Kiana did not choose to subdue her simply through wrestling this time.

"Phew...it was a bit much, but..."

While muttering these words, Kiana reached down and touched herself.

Although, Aqua is an idiot.

But she was at least able to sense her surroundings and being touched by others, so she instantly realized...

What is she doing!

"Damn it, what exactly do you want—!"

Before she could finish speaking, Akya felt a chill run down her backside.

Then came a few crisp 'snap!' sounds.

"Do you know you were wrong?"

"You! Let go!"

'Smack!' A sharp pain shot through her buttocks, causing the goddess Aqua to flailing her arms and legs and contort her face in agony.

"what!!!"

Seeing that she had actually made her cry from her slap, Kiana realized how powerful this move was against children—people with the intelligence level of children.

Without much hesitation, she started slapping the goddess repeatedly.

The sound was so loud that Kazuma and the others standing nearby looked at each other in bewilderment, unsure of how to respond.

Finally, after the torture that the goddess would never forget ended, Kiana slowly released her grip.

The goddess lay on the ground, sobbing, tears streaming down her face, some even forming small puddles on the ground...

[Ding! Congratulations, host, for completing the side quest: Special Attack on the Goddess! (Physical)]

[Mission Completion Method: Teach Aqua a lesson for her repeated provocations.]

[Reward for completing the mission: 1000 Herrscher Points.]

"call!"

Having successfully completed her mission and avenged herself, Kiana felt incredibly relieved, even a little...

The pleasure of disciplining a disobedient little sister?
