The Infinite Journey of a Certain Flame

Let's talk about this later...

I will definitely go back someday!

With this in mind, Kiana turned her attention to the key figure in this incident.

Darkness...

"what happened?"

The female knight was all shy and timid, completely unlike her usual awkward and unsettling demeanor... She was practically as gentle and refined as a reclusive noblewoman, obedient and charming...

A Certain Infernal Affairs in Another World (Konosuba): Chapter Twenty-Seven: My Stupid Goddess Can't Be This Cute?

What's wrong...

What else can I do but ask for your opinion?

Kiana sighed, then gave a helpless smile:

"You are all nobles, after all. Strictly speaking, this is a matter within your circle. I don't think I have any reason to interfere."

How can you say that!

Darkness felt frustrated by Kiana's understanding and reasonableness.

I don't want to get married!

She must continue to fight the Demon King's army as an adventurer, and then one day she will be defeated and captured in front of the Demon King, where she will endure 'trials' that are unimaginable to ordinary people, and eventually be tortured beyond recognition.

Just thinking about something like this makes my blood boil!

"Ah~" Darkness crossed her arms, a pleasurable yet twisted expression appearing on her flushed face. "Just thinking about it makes me feel good!"

"Huh? What do you mean by feeling comfortable? Getting married?"

Kiana felt something was off about Darkness's reaction, but she didn't know where to begin her吐槽 (tu cao, a Chinese internet slang term for sarcastic or critical comments).

Judging from that pleasant expression, it didn't seem like rejection, but it didn't seem like agreement either.

After all, she didn't verbally agree, did she?

What exactly caused her to become like this? What was she thinking?

[Host, I think it's better if you don't know.]

"why?"

Because you'll go astray? Fine, at least you'll give me an answer eventually, right?

That's true. If there's no response, then the matter will just remain at an impasse.

Thinking of this, Kiana asked Darkness again:

"Uh, well... have you made up your mind yet?"

"what?"

Kiana's words snapped Darkness out of her daze, and she looked at Kiana with a bewildered expression.

What...you weren't thinking about that at all?

"It's an engagement, an engagement, what do you think?"

"Who's getting married?! That lord should just get lost! Ugh! Just thinking about it makes me sick!"

Darkness's reaction was a little over the top, like he'd found a fly in his food.

It didn't quite look like he was furious, but it was definitely a fit of rage.

To be honest, her reaction was quite baffling.

"Uh, there's no need to get so worked up. If you don't want to go, you don't have to go..."

Just as Darkness was beaming with joy, feeling that he no longer needed to compromise,

Aqua, who was squatting on the ground making fun of Kazuma, suddenly stood up.

She tugged at her hair, looking somewhat puzzled:

"What? You're not going? I don't think that's a good idea."

"why?"

Kiana and Darkness both asked a question in return.

"Won't we offend that lord again by doing this? This city belongs to him. What if we can't get any more commissions in the future? Won't we starve to death?"

It's rare that Akya didn't do anything stupid.

On the contrary, they were giving their opinions in a very serious manner.

Honestly, such a proper goddess is so rare that Kiana couldn't help but reach out and poke the cheek of this silly goddess.

"Strange, it feels so real?"

"Ugh, what are you doing, you woman!"

With her face turned up in a pout, Aqua looked extremely distressed, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably, making her look very pitiful.

Like a little puppy being teased but unable to fight back, Kiana couldn't help but rub it again.

As a result, he realized how impolite he had been and had to quickly withdraw his hand.

"Oh, I'm sorry."

"Hmm..." Aqua rubbed her cheek, and after a moment of silence, she recovered. "So, shall we sacrifice Darkness?"

"Hey! Don't say things so confidently!"

Darkness was aware of Aqua's unreliability, but she never expected that this idiot would be so blunt.

Sacrifice me...

No way! But the feeling of being controlled like this...

Darkness crossed her arms again, her breathing quickening and her whole body trembling with pleasure.

Kiana and the others looked on with puzzled expressions.

After a long pause, Huihui, unable to bear it any longer, angrily declared:

"Are you going or not? Give me an answer!"

"Ugh... this is really troublesome."

Darkness covered his head and thought for a long time before finally nodding slowly.

However, just as everyone was about to give in because of her, the female knight suddenly spread her hands and declared righteously:

"But don't get me wrong, I'm going to reject this marriage proposal."

"Eh... I feel like I'm going to offend the lord no matter what."

Akya, sucking on her finger, once again uttered a very insightful saying.

Upon hearing this, everyone exchanged bewildered glances and could only offer wry smiles...

...

Darkness passed away peacefully. In the afterglow of the setting sun, the female knight slowly embarked on the road to the lord's manor.

I suppose the lord will reply soon.

During this time, Kiana, Aqua, and the others continued their daily tasks.

However, they soon discovered an extremely serious problem!

"I'm sorry, the Adventurers' Guild no longer has any quests..."

Faced with Kiana and Aqua's enthusiastic responses, the Adventurers' Guild's reception staff wore a helpless expression.

She simply couldn't understand why this ridiculously talented white-haired girl would work so hard.

Please, there are no monsters or traces of the Demon King's army near this city anymore!

Other adventurers, having been out of work for so many days, even chose to help rebuild the city by moving bricks.

Given this situation, you still plan to continue the mission? Are you trying to wipe us out completely?

Unfortunately, even though the Adventurers' Guild staff made their intentions very clear, Goddess Aqua still looked unhappy.

"Hey! Don't you have any more requests? How much will you pay for one? I haven't eaten in ages!"

"Uh, didn't I feed you a lot last night?" Kiana said with a wry smile.

Because the cost of redeeming food in the system's shop was relatively low, she redeemed quite a lot of delicious food to enjoy.

There really are quite a lot!

And Akya's belly is bulging from all the food she ate last night!

However...

"That's not enough!"

Hmm...it seems an idiot can never be satisfied.

Kiana sighed inwardly for a moment, then touched her slightly deflated belly.

Okay, there really aren't many.

"Is there really nothing left?"

"Uh..."

The Adventurers' Guild's receptionist gave an awkward but polite smile.

Well, it seems like if I don't come up with something today, these two idiots are going to keep asking.

Ugh... This is an even more terrifying disaster than the arrival of the Demon King's army officers.

The saleswoman behind the counter pondered for a moment, then said:

"There's a ruin outside the city; there should be treasure there. If you two are interested..."

"Where? Tell me!"
