I have to hypnotize you, Aura!

Am I going to become as monstrous as the demons?

“That bastard Fingel…”

Blushing and seeing no one around, Flame, though reluctant, reached for her skirt...

--------------------

[Acerkher]

"Aqiu!"

Who scolded me?

Fingel sneezed instinctively, which was somewhat unlikely given his constitution.

"Xinei!"

Seeing that Aqua wouldn't stop, and feeling the other adventurers looking at him like he was a monkey after learning the whole story, Kazuma Sato finally couldn't hold back anymore—he rushed forward and punched Aqua.

"That's enough, you idiotic goddess!"

!

Aqua was sunk on the spot.

"Red bean paste! The kingdom is destroyed!"

Kazuma Sato bowed deeply to Fingel to express his apology.

...

'It's a bit hard to break down...'

Finger believes that among the many languages ​​in the world, the pronunciation of apologies is completely different—but only the neon "sorry" sounds the least sincere.

Because every time I see Japanese news, it's always something like, "Because of xxxx, we sincerely apologize to the public, red bean paste, thank you!" or "Discharging nuclear wastewater into the ocean, red bean paste, thank you!" They bow more diligently than anyone else, but when asked how they will make amends, the result is mostly that they are unrepentant.

Of course, this had nothing to do with the unlucky young man in front of him. Fingel saw that this guy named Sato was indeed embarrassed and was sincerely apologizing to him.

"Oh well... never mind, it's fine. Consider it my investment in you guys."

Fingel sighed, "Whatever."

He noticed the tasks displayed by the system and paid them a little attention.

[Triggering Quest 3: Yellow Hair's Confession]

As a young person with nine years of compulsory education, you feel that your actions are somewhat immoral. Although Kazuma Sato doesn't seem to care and even welcomes this, and is urging you to act quickly, you still decide to offer compensation.

Settlement period: Any time period between March and December.

[Reward: You will receive a title and territory in the Kingdom of Belzer in a reasonable manner---the specific rewards will depend on Sato and Masato's achievements]

..

'Titles and territories?'

To be honest, none of this helped Fingel, but he really fell for it. Theoretically, as a successor to socialism, he shouldn't be doing this—but this is another world, isn't it? What does it have to do with him? So he decisively gave up thinking and decided to enjoy the sugar-coated bullets of decadent feudalism.

'However, the task completion time is a bit short, especially for an individual's development.'

'Perhaps we could try looking at their adventurer rank, wealth, and social status.'

He decided to provide some financial assistance to Kazuma Sato, not just because of the mission. In fact, Fingel had this idea all along—these reincarnated individuals with cheat codes were inherently valuable investments.

It is best to provide limited assistance, starting with the weak and gradually increasing the amount of funding.

"Consider it my investment in you. You can go to the weapon shop later and buy a set of armor and weapons. I'll cover all the expenses."

Fingel said this.

!!!

[Sato Kazuma has mild doubts about you.]

"Investment? Excuse me, were you just saying you wanted to invest in me? And even help me buy armor?"

"Really!? Thank you!!!"

Kazuma Sato then stood up, his previously embarrassed eyes instantly becoming bright and alert. A set of high-quality armor and weapons could cost hundreds of thousands of Eris!

'This is exactly the kind of storyline a reincarnated person should have! Sleeping in the stables and spending their days gathering ashes isn't a normal progression!'

'I don't want to keep playing with the dust anymore, sob sob sob'

He regained his expectations for his life in this other world! Who knows how much psychological trauma Sato Kazuma suffered from having to fight ashes even after being transported to another world?

But it's okay now!

Very good!

This guy must be the kind of 'reliable brother' type! That's great!

Kazuma Sato was truly grateful to Fingel, who had come to his rescue in his time of need. He was so poor that he couldn't even afford a house and was freezing to death.

He vowed that as long as the girl he liked wasn't taken away from him, he would be forever grateful to Fingel!

'But how could that be... I don't have a girl I like right now.'

He thought to himself that Kazuma Sato didn't believe his enthusiastic senior would do such a thing.

"Thank you so much! But may I ask why?"

Kazuma Sato asked with a broad smile, clearly in a very pleasant mood.

"We're reincarnated beings too, aren't we? With our cheat codes, we're bound to progress rapidly." Fingel smiled confidently. "May I ask, what are your cheat codes?"

! ! ! !

Kazuma Sato's smile froze.

Plug-in?

Plug-in?

My cheat... what was my cheat again?

He tilted his head like a robot, staring at Aqua with a look of utter despair—oh no, his cheat code seems to be a useless goddess.

That's it.

The current impression of the "Useless Goddess" towards Kazuma Sato is --- a completely useless goddess! She's practically a waste of air just being alive. If he could, he really wanted to get a new 'cheat code,' but unfortunately, there's no going back.

Damn it!

It's all Aqua's fault! Is there no hope left?!

Sato Kazuma's conscience, which had not yet been extinguished, and his moral bottom line made him unwilling to lie.

"I'm sorry, but you don't need to sponsor me anymore."

Kazuma Sato, whose back was still bent over, bent down again, as if he wanted to break his back.

?

Now it was Fingel who was a little confused. Why wouldn't he take the money?

"why?"

Fingel looked puzzled. "So high definition? You don't even want the money they offer? That makes me look despicable, young man!"

"This is what happened..."

........................................................

Inside the Adventurers' Guild, around a wooden table in a corner, three people faced each other—each with a different expression.

Kazuma Sato drank his beverage with a guilty look on his face, while Aqua happily ate the guild's chicken cutlet set meal.

"...So you changed your cheat to 'Aqua'? What were you thinking, bro?"

Fingel's eyes softened with pity. What a poor kid.

"...I was too impulsive at the time."

Kazuma Sato was so ashamed that he couldn't lift his head at all and wanted to crawl into a hole.

"Hey! You guys are so rude! You're making it sound like they're a burden to us."

Aqua put down her knife and fork and mumbled a complaint, her face still covered in rice grains.

"...Well, you're quite self-aware."

Fingel's lips twitched; he didn't know what to say.

Although they didn't spend much time together, he could sense Aqua's true nature—a kind-hearted but unreasonable woman who caused trouble like a child!

Most importantly, although she is a so-called 'god,' she has no godly airs whatsoever. She is not only powerless, but also utterly useless.

Why would I want to sleep with her?

Looking at Aqua, who was still complaining, Fingel suddenly questioned himself—Damn it, am I really hopeless? How could I do something to such an idiot? If this were posted on a forum, I'd be laughed at by everyone for a million years.

So sad.

Is this what a man is?

To criticize life, to criticize death.

My will... my resolve...

Is that really correct?

Fingel even felt a sense of despair. "Damn it," he thought, "is there any hope for my life, which is controlled by hormones? I'm probably already dead, leaving behind only my younger brother in human form."

'I strongly suspect that when I burned myself during my fight with Mahat, what remained wasn't half a face, but my own...so, did Eris resurrect me based on my...?'

So desperate.

So I used to be a hooker? Pilong Emperor, his ultimate move is infinite suspension, he must break through Bazuo Island, turn everyone in this world into xx people whose brains are only for vocational training, and turn the whole world into a giant water dragon mirror amusement park!

Everyone's in a rush every day, and then there's this guy who looks at others with the eyes of someone wanting a teacher training program, wishing he could have a big orgy right there and then!

"wrong!!!!!!!"

"What a joke!"

not like this!

Suddenly, Fingel slammed his fist on the table, his eyes filled with deep fear, his body trembling like a lamb that had seen through the fourth wall.

What the hell am I thinking?

Suddenly, Fingel began to seriously doubt his own life. He felt that his perception had been distorted. Shouldn't Cao Ren have some bottom line? Why did he want to harm Aqua?

Now he really didn't feel like he was a jerk anymore; he was just making a sacrifice!

[Sato Kazuma has mild doubts about you]

[Favorability-enhancing keywords...Insertion successful!]

"What's wrong, Senior Fingel? What's wrong with you...?"

Kazuma Sato was startled. What happened? What's wrong? What happened?

This senior is overflowing with negative energy; I never felt this way even when I was at my most NEET and useless.

...

Fingel took a deep breath... and came back to life.

He's not that fragile; men can comfort themselves.

At worst, I'll just masturbate.

"Try to look on the bright side... Even though he seems a bit useless, he's still a god, right? At least he's a good-looking god, isn't he?"

"It's pleasing to the eye to have them by my side."

"I'll still help you out; after all, he's your 'senior,' so a little Eris won't have much of an impact... You're probably short on money right now, aren't you?"

Fingel patted Sato Kazuma's shoulder with a somber expression. Although he was comforting Sato Kazuma, he was actually comforting himself as well.

"!!!!Really?"

"But I'm... but senior, I'm the weakest adventurer! And I don't even have any cheat codes, is it really worth the investment?"

Kazuma Sato ignored the ambiguous words of comfort and felt extremely excited.
