I have to hypnotize you, Aura!

?

Fingel's attention was drawn to the thieves in the capital... they seemed somewhat familiar.

Is it really as I think it is?

“Explain in detail.”

“Um…” Luna leaned forward slightly, making her already full breasts even more prominent, and said to him, “Actually, a while ago a very skilled thief broke into the royal treasury and even kidnapped Princess Alice? The kingdom has put down a huge bounty!”

"Oh? That's amazing!"

Fingel was taken aback, but his eyes involuntarily drifted to Luna's chest.

Wow, it's huge!

He's a very sentimental person. Even though they've broken up, he still misses Luna's body.

As a vulgar man, he temporarily put Aqua out of his mind.

"What exactly happened?" Fingel asked, his eyes darting around. "It's unbelievable that thieves would dare to break into the capital."

'Hmph.'

Seeing Fingel's expression, Luna's lips unconsciously curled into a smile, but she quickly suppressed it and spoke in a deliberately calm tone.

"It is said that he was an extraordinary thief who sneaked into the royal treasury without anyone noticing. Even the Royal Guard Knights failed to catch him and took him away in front of everyone. Rumor has it that he possesses a very high-level invisibility spell that none of the royal mages can break."

"Invisibility magic? That's amazing... But to dare to kidnap a princess is incredibly audacious! He must be brought to justice."

Fingel tactically adopted a stern expression, his serious demeanor resembling the solid ice of a Siberian wasteland burial ground, looking utterly righteous.

Luna has slight doubts about you.

"This doesn't sound like something you would say... So you really admire the royal family that much?"

Luna felt that Fingel was acting strangely, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.

“Never mind such trivial matters.” Fingel pointed at Aqua and asked, feigning confusion, “Luna, who is that blue-haired woman?”

?

"Ugh, this is making me feel nauseous."

Luna's eyes turned disgusted again; she had clearly misunderstood.

"Hmm? What are you planning to do... You're not planning to do anything bad, are you? Have you really gone this far? The other person may be good-looking, but she's just a newcomer."

"Have you reached the point where you get horny the moment you see a pretty woman?"

She was a little angry. She was still right there! Weren't they even going to pretend anymore?

???

"Nonsense! Even if it were me, I wouldn't go that far! I also have the right to choose!"

Fingel was furious and strongly condemned Luna's slander!

Can a human feel something for a monkey? Of course not!

To be honest, when we first met, he even tried it out, taking advantage of the opportunity of fasting to pinch her hard a couple of times. Of course, that idiot didn't notice, and the conclusion was... he felt nothing.

Fingel was very puzzled by this. After all, she was a beautiful girl, so how could he not have any reaction at all?

He could only attribute it to the aura of idiocy he felt after interacting with Aqua, which caused Fingel's desires to subside.

"Is that so? It doesn't feel like you're lying... You really don't have those kinds of thoughts?"

Luna scrutinized Fingel's expression with suspicion, having absolutely no trust in his integrity.

"If you keep going like this, I'll sue you for defamation, okay? It's like I can get away with anything just because I'm a woman... I just thought her outfit was a bit unusual and didn't seem like that of an adventurer, and she seemed to have a strange aura."

Fingel rolled his eyes; to be honest, he felt offended.

Luna has some doubts about you.

'A special kind of temperament?'

Luna realized what was happening and then said in a somewhat strange tone:

“I think I understand what you mean... Have you heard of the Church of Axis?”

?

What do you mean?

As he listened to Luna's story, Fingel's expression, which had been quite interested, turned strange.

The Church of Axis, a notorious mad church throughout the other world, is nominally the righteous church of the water goddess Aqua, which should not be slandered. However, in reality, every local power regards it as a heretical cult—simply because this church is too incomprehensible!

The doctrines of the Church of Axis are quite strange, often containing prophetic teachings that seem counterintuitive to others:

Axis Church members can do anything when they get serious!

Even if you don't do well, don't blame me; blame the world!

When faced with something you hate, just run away!

The goddess Eris's breasts are padded!

...

"Ah, what a useless church they are. I suppose the goddess they worship is also a useless goddess."

Looking at Aqua, who had suddenly started arguing in the guild for some unknown reason, Fingel thought to himself thoughtfully.

Originally, he only had a prejudice against Aqua, but now he felt that the entire church was problematic, so in a short period of time he turned into a loyal hater of the Church of Axis.

"Don't say that... She's a goddess, after all. It's not appropriate to say that."

Luna spoke somewhat stiffly, though she felt the same way, but it was very impolite to say it that way.

"Otherwise, it would be very troublesome if the people of the Church of Axis found out... It's best not to have any contact with these people, okay?"

...

'is that so?'

'But...'

Fingel didn't speak, but stared intently at Aqua, deep in thought.

From a rational perspective, Aqua is very beautiful, has a great figure, and is a goddess. I shouldn't let go of such a high-quality woman. But from an emotional perspective, I am completely unable to feel any attraction to Aqua.

'Perhaps the goddess possesses the ability to purify evil thoughts? That must be it, otherwise there's no way to explain why I didn't feel anything.'

'But...is this all I'm capable of? No...how can I succumb to mere purification abilities?'

Fingel adopted a tactical black face, feeling he shouldn't stop there.

To be or not to be?

Herbs or linens?

This is a problem.

"Give me a glass of ale, Luna."

?

Although somewhat puzzled, Luna still poured a glass of ale from under the counter and gently placed it in front of Fingel.

"Gurgle gurgle ya gurgle... Has!"

Under the woman's surprised gaze, Fingel downed the drink in one gulp, his previously hesitant eyes suddenly sharpening.

Correct!

How could I stop here?

If we consider the goddess's ability to purify evil thoughts as a defense mechanism, then we should face the challenge head-on!

As a staunch materialist, he would never yield to a goddess who is a monster and a demon; what he should do is to suppress her with the iron fist of physics!

Even if it's a god, I'll still fuck it!!!

"They're on!"

"I...I'll be right back."

Fingel pushed aside his beer glass and resolutely left his seat.

Kill the God!

Watch out, kid, this hangover is going to be really cool!

He exuded an aura of ethereal beauty, leaving the female receptionist completely stunned.

Luna has some doubts about you.

"It does not make sense?"

It took Luna a while to react, and her expression became very complicated.

'Mental illness?'

Sometimes I really suspect this man has some kind of schizophrenia; I wonder what he's thinking.

Adventurers' Guild

'My name is Kazuma Sato, and I'm a time traveler.'

'Can someone tell me how something that should have been wonderful turned out like this? My life was supposed to be that of a wonderful isekai protagonist, so why am I stuck here with this useless goddess, starving?'

'Normally, shouldn't a transmigrator just be given a cheat code to start their life in another world? I must have been blinded by greed; why did I have to go to another world with Aqua?'

It turns out he'd been in this other world for a week now. His act of saving people had earned him the option of 'reincarnation' from the divine court, which should have been a good thing—but due to the mockery of a certain useless goddess, the distraught Sato Kazuma chose to 'replace his cheat ability with Aqua,' and the divine court actually agreed!

As a result, Aqua and he were transported to another world together. At the time, Kazuma Sato was quite pleased with himself, and he felt great seeing Aqua's vulnerable state. But now, Kazuma Sato only feels regret.

Because this useless goddess is truly a drag on the team.

'You bitch goddess! You work so hard, and your salary isn't much, yet you still spend your money on bubble tea!'

"You useless goddess, you good-for-nothing!"

Kazuma Sato pointed angrily at Aqua, his eyes filled with a look that seemed to want to devour her.

The reason is that the salary they just received was used by this stupid woman to buy alcohol, and the two of them will probably have to stay in the stables again next week.

"She's not useless at all! She's an incredibly beautiful and outstanding water goddess! You rude and useless NEET! How dare you speak to the goddess like that! You'll be punished by the heavens for doing that!"

Aqua pouted angrily, seemingly very dissatisfied.

"Can't you think of any other insults? Even if you say that, it won't change the fact that you're a useless goddess! Using our meager savings to buy precious sparkling wine, what's wrong with your brain? Take it back and get a refund right now!"

Kazuma Sato felt like he was going crazy. What was wrong with this woman's brain?

Without saying a word, he decided to go back to his stable to find the bubble wine that Aqua had secretly hidden as an emergency measure. Winter was fast approaching, and if he didn't spend money to find an apartment to live in sooner or later, he would eventually freeze into an ice sculpture in the stable.

"If it weren't for this child... I would die! I won't allow you to go!"

"Shut up! Let me go!"

The two immediately started fighting, disregarding the difference between men and women. The self-proclaimed super beautiful and excellent goddess immediately crawled on the ground, crying loudly while grabbing Sato Kazuma's trouser leg, not allowing him to go to the stable.

"...Ahem."

"Gentlemen, please pause for a moment."

Seeing this, Fingel couldn't help but cough twice to attract attention, while also taking a look at the reincarnated person in front of him.

'An ordinary-looking man, probably a student before he transmigrated, right? What kind of cheat ability did he have?'

Fingel was slightly concerned, since he thought those cheats were pretty good.

"Um?"

The two men who were wrestling stopped abruptly and both instinctively looked over.

"Excuse me, who are you...?"

Kazuma Sato asked in confusion, as he did not recognize the person in front of him.

To be precise, he had only been in the world for a week, and he didn't know many people—at present, he only knew the foreman who was doing the mortar work at the city gate and the pretty receptionist, Luna, who hadn't been in a good mood lately.

"It's you!"
