Hestia was referring to the fact that her face, while she was hanging, was very close to the white silk that was torn from Barbara.

"This is punishment, Hestia."

"You super invincible perverted scumbag! I will never let you go! At the next Gods' Conference, I will definitely pass on the title I've worked so hard to get you!"

Smelling the inexplicably tempting yet extremely uncomfortable smell in her nose, Hestia closed her eyes with steam coming out of her face and shouted loudly.

"If you tell me that again, I'll shut your mouth."

Hestia immediately clamped her mouth shut.

As if to say, "Don't even think about it," Hestia stopped talking, turned her face away, and changed the subject: "Speaking of which, Barbara's resurrection magic requires a price. Barbara, what price did you pay as a sacrifice for the magic?"

Hearing Hestia's words, Barbara's voice trembled: "I... don't seem to have paid any price... no... feeling..."

"Really?" I said nonchalantly after hearing Barbara say that. "No price is best."

"It can't be without a price, right?"

Hestia instantly turned her head back, opened her eyes and yelled... then immediately screamed and turned her head back again.

"If a magic effect clearly states it has a price, then it definitely has one. Although we (the gods) write the "Blessings of God," we can't just write it however we want. Otherwise, I would have written Qianshu's skill, which hasn't been extracted yet, a long time ago. I have a feeling that skill is incredibly powerful!"

Hestia said firmly:

"If I could write whatever I wanted, I wouldn't be so exhausted every time I update Qianshu's stats, as if I were fighting a divine battle, afraid to accidentally write out that skill. 'God's grace' isn't controlled by the gods. So, since grace already states there's a price to pay, then Barbara's magic must have a price! — Isn't it terrible not to feel the price I've paid?"

I put down one of Barbara's legs, raised my right hand to untie Hestia's hairband, and said calmly, "I said there's no price, so there's no price. If you care too much, you'll lose."

"So didn't I already say it wouldn't be possible without a price? Why are you untying my hair?"

"Although Hestia with twintails is cute, the Hestia with radiant hair has a more divine beauty. I like it very much."

"You actually treated me as a seasoning? I will never let you go! But let's put this matter aside for now. Barbara's matter is really important. We must find out what price she paid! Otherwise, I will not allow her to use that magic again!"

"Oh, so I said there is no price."

"So didn't I also say it's impossible... Did you do something?"

"I didn't do anything. — But I don't need to do anything either." I rejected it. "Not even a single hair on Barbara's body belongs to me. Not a single thing belongs to her, including her memories, feelings, existence, thoughts... Everything she has is because I allowed her to have it, but the ownership of those things belongs to me. She only has the right to use them, not the right to control them. So how can she afford to pay the price for the sacrifice?"

"...I think I understand what you mean. But if that's the case, then Barbara's magic shouldn't be effective." Hestia was still puzzled. "After all, the price of magic isn't collected by anyone; it's consumed as fuel. Just like the magic stone in a magic lamp, if there's no magic stone as a consumable, the magic lamp won't light up at all, right?"

"So didn't I tell you that everything Barbara owns belongs to me?"

"…" After three seconds, Hestia finally reacted and looked up at me with wide eyes. "So, you're saying that you paid the price for Barbara's magic? What did you pay?"

“I didn’t pay anything.”

"what?"

Hestia seemed completely unable to understand what I was saying.

There was no other way. Seeing that she was so curious, I could only explain it patiently.

"The fact that magic requires a price to be used means that something cannot be created out of nothing. No matter how much the price is, it doesn't matter. What matters is that there must be some kind of price as the bargaining chip. As long as the deal is reached, the magic will take effect. This is the essence of Barbara's magic."

"But this common sense doesn't apply to me."

"I don't need to pay any price, because whether I pay or not makes no difference to Barbara's magic, because 'having' and 'not having' are the same to me."

"To put it simply, even if I paid the price, it's the same as not paying the price, and even if I didn't pay the price, it's the same as paying the price. Do you understand?"

Although I can't describe it in concrete words, I have tried my best to express it in concepts that people can understand - but Hestia still has a blank look on her face.

"……don't know."

"What a foolish god." I looked at Hestia with dismay. "Forget it. Just think of it as me casually creating something and then using that thing as a price to pay for Barbara, so I didn't lose anything."

Hestia finally showed an expression of sudden enlightenment. It seemed that she understood - although this explanation was completely wrong, but forget it, as long as people could understand it.

So, I lifted Barbara's right leg again and started the final sprint right in front of Hestia.

By the way...the moment I looked down at Hestia's face, I had an urge to dye her hair.

Volume 160: Chapter : Decisions Always Come Suddenly (Monthly Ticket Bonus)

"Ms. Ais!"

Shortly after Ais stepped out of the gate of the clan residence, Lefiya caught up with her from behind.

Ais stopped and looked back at her.

Lefiya took a breath and said, "Um... Miss Ais, are you going to look for Bell Crane?"

Ai Si nodded: "Yeah, I need to get stronger quickly and then level up."

Although it is said that the proficiency of basic abilities is not too important and what really matters is the level, in fact, at least within the same level, the difference in ability values represented by the proficiency of basic abilities is still quite large.

Taking the upper areas of the dungeon as an example, if a LV.1 adventurer wants to conquer the dungeon alone, the basic ability indicators for conquering floors 1-4 are I~H, the basic ability indicators for conquering floors 5-7 are G~F, the basic ability indicators for conquering floors 8-10 are E~C, and the basic ability indicators for conquering floors 11-12 are B~S.

The basic ability index mentioned here refers to the average value of the other four basic abilities except magic power.

That is, a person's most basic combat power without taking into account magic and skills.

Basically, if the proficiency of basic skills is two levels lower, then the strength will be one level lower.

Although in the later stages, magic, skills, and development capabilities will account for an increasingly higher proportion of the adventurer's strength, and the proficiency of basic abilities will become less and less important, but on the other hand, if magic, skills, and development capabilities, which are strength indicators different from basic abilities, are removed, and only the most basic combat power is calculated, then... although Finn, Grace, Riveria, and Ais have all reached the same LV.7 as Ota, the four of them combined cannot be a match for Ota.

Because except for magic, Ota's other four basic abilities are all upgraded to S-level proficiency at each level. Now that he is at LV.7, he has also upgraded these four basic abilities to S-level.

Just speaking from the most basic combat capability of an adventurer, Aita's combat capability is simply extraordinary.

Therefore, to sum up, the proficiency of basic skills seems unimportant but actually represents a person's most basic improvement in strength.

Oh, of course, compared with the level upgrade, the improvement in proficiency in basic abilities is indeed insignificant.

——However, no matter how insignificant the improvement is, it is still an improvement and accumulation of strength.

After upgrading, all ability values before the upgrade will be retained as potential abilities. The more potential abilities accumulated, the more advantages you will have compared to adventurers of the same level. This is beyond doubt.

So Aisi's current choice was natural: to find her future husband, quickly improve her basic abilities to the limit, then level up, then find her future husband again to quickly improve her basic abilities to the limit, then seek adventure again, then level up again, and then find her future husband again...

"Ms. Ais!!"

Lefiya's waving hand in front of her interrupted Ais's daze about the future prospects.

"Sorry, Lefiya. What's wrong with you?"

"Actually...um...um...Miss Aisi, can I go with you?"

Lefiya showed a determined expression.

"I also want to become stronger quickly. Although this is a secret of the Hestia family, and I know it's a bit unpleasant, but... I will beg him sincerely and apologize to him for my previous attitude. I want him to help me become stronger quickly! Is that okay, Miss Ais?"

Ais tilted her head. "I understand Lefiya's feelings, but I can't guarantee anything. I can ask first. But... has Lefiya decided to be his wife?"

“…Huh? What do you mean?”

Lefiya's expression froze.

"Bell said that helping others become stronger is something you can only do with your wife."

"..."

"........."

"........."

"Lefiya, what's wrong with you?" Ais looked at Lefiya in confusion as black energy began to emerge from her body.

Lefiya clenched her fists, her face flushed and darkened, her entire body trembling. "That...that lustful one! Unforgivable! A bonobo gorilla in heat year-round!!"

Lefiya started running, her hair on fire as she rushed towards the direction of Hestia's Familia: "I'm going to kill you! Aa ...

Ais tilted her head in confusion as she watched Lefiya's rapidly running back. "Lefiya...it seems your desire to become stronger is even stronger than mine."

"How dare you! How dare you! How dare you deceive Miss Aisi! How dare you do that to Miss Aisi! Unforgivable, unforgivable, unforgivable! Get out of here!!!"

Lefiya kicked the gate of the Hestia clan's residence with her powerful LV.4 ability, and kicked the gate directly away.

Then, Lefiya ran straight to the door and kicked it open.

"Go to hell you bastard"

She disappeared in a flash.

"Eh? Wait? That person just now seemed to be from Loki's family? Where did she go?"

Hestia looked towards the door with a puzzled look on her face.

"Indeed, it seems to be Lefiya."

I kept a calm face, but also had a puzzled expression.

"Did she travel through time?"

"Is it a good thing you did?"

"Who knows."

I took a look at Lefiya, Ling, and Paimon, the three life forms that were not clones floating in my soul, and I felt that the troubles suddenly became more numerous!

No, this problem must be properly resolved.

At least Lefiya's anger must be resolved for her!

If I let it out casually, she might just shoot me.

Hmm~ How to solve it?

——Of course, I spent some time to conquer her thoroughly!

A classic plot popped up in my mind.

Well, it's time for me to become a brave warrior summoned to another world.

Come to think of it, there’s a world I really love that I haven’t visited yet. Isn’t now a good time to go there?

Hmm? What world is this, you ask?

That world has a scientific name called Suqing, and it is a world that almost made me laugh to death.

If true love had a color, it would be blue.

And if retardation had a color, it would definitely be blue.

"By the way, Hestia, haven't you always wanted to visit other worlds? Do you want to go with me?"

"Hmm? Are you finally going to take me to another world?!"

Hestia's eyes suddenly lit up, completely forgetting the humiliation she had endured before. She looked excited and said, "Let's go! Let's go! I really want to see what other worlds look like!"

Seeing Hestia's expression, I nodded, and after helping Chizuki and Ais who came after Lefiya to improve their abilities, I started the Lefiya capture operation that I had suddenly decided on.

Well, sometimes a decision can come so suddenly.

Suqing, here I come!!

Volume 1: Chapter Konosuba: God's Blessing on This Wonderful World - A Stunning Opening

“Ah…Ah…Ah…Ah…”

On a street that resembled the streets of medieval Europe, a blue-haired girl was crying desperately beside me.

I ignored her and looked at the surrounding scene with interest.

I have traveled through many worlds and can be considered knowledgeable, but this is the first time I have traveled through this classic world of heroes fighting demons.

Oh, of course, it’s hard to say whether Mo Qing’s world can be considered a classic hero fighting demon king, or it can be said that such a serious plot has never happened in this world.

But in short, at least there is a demon king in this world.

And there are gods too.

“Ahhh…Ahhhhh…Ahhhhhhhh…Ahhhhhhhhh…”

Yes, this beautiful girl who is crying next to me is the god.

Aqua, the goddess of water.

A goddess who looks particularly classic no matter how she looks when she is silent.

She is so beautiful that she transcends human beauty and fully lives up to her title of goddess.
