"Aqua..."
The blue haired goddess turned to look at me. She then tilts her head to the side with a look as if wondering what I'll ask.
"What made you to come along with me?"
Her hand rubbed her chin as she thought really hard. After giving her some time, she finally found her answer.
"I forgot."
"..."
I decided to ignore this stupid goddess and make my way to the guild. It was already a bad decision of mine to ask anything from her.
"Kazuma~ Kazuma~ " Aqua was excitedly calling out my name.
When I turned to look at her, all I could see was the eyes of a kid in need of a toy.
"Oi, Useless goddess... What's it this time?"
Aqua nodded her head before heading inside a small shop which sells wine. After a few moments, she hurriedly came back.
This time she had a resolute look with an annoying smile on her.
She then showed me her hand. An empty hand.
I knew what she was about to ask and so I tried my best to run away from this beggar.
Alas she already clung onto my leg and wouldn't let go no matter how much I try.
"Useless goddess! Is there anything in your head except alcohol related stuff!?"
"Waaaah, Kazuma! Please I beg you! That wine is a limited and rare type that I never tasted! Sto- Stop move your legs..."
Her teary eyes, snot, and pursed lips... Made me wonder if this was the same goddess that I met for the first time.
Aqua's whining made a scene which inevitably caused the surrounding people to look at us. Some were whispering to each other while sneaking glances at us.
If this keeps up, my reputation in this place will further sunk down.
But who cares, I'm not going to succumb to this useless goddess pleading! Especially since it involves my money!
Stolen from its rightful place, this narrative is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.
Aqua sniffled before saying to me with a low tone, "If you don't help me this time... I'll spread the news of how you would rub your birdy in the middle of the night beside a beautiful goddess like me..."
Shit... this goddess was still awake at that time...
I gave wry smile before helping her up. Even going so far as to patting away the dust from her clothing.
Aqua looked at me as if she was in control of everything.
She then asked, "So, can you give me now the 5000 eris?" (5000 eris = 5000 yen = 44$)
5000 eris!? That expensive!
Aqua seen my changed expression but still kept moving the fingers on her hand with a happy smile. As if saying to cough up the dough.
Eventually we fought.
I had the upper hand with my tactics but it was not enough to deal with her stupidly powerful brawling.
Now I'm in the ground, being sat upon by Aqua as she looks through my wallet.
She then mercilessly removed the required money before saying,
"No worries, I'll not spread any news related to your night activities."
At least she never lies, so I can take her word for that.
Even after she went to buy the wine, I was still on the ground wondering why I'm still partnered with her.
I looked to my side to find a glass fish tank keeping some of those highly dangerous monster eels. Thinking if I should drop her face in it.
~/`````````````````````/~
By the time I decided to get up, Aqua was already out with her accursed wine bottle.
She was rubbing it on her cheeks with love before mumbling out, "I'll enjoy you tonight..."
I just can't stand the look of her and that expensive thing. So, I tried to leave her behind.
Though before I could get far, I heard someone yelled out.
"Watch where ye'r going lady!"
Before hearing the sound of glass being shattered.
I turned back to find Aqua on her knees with a devasted look. As if someone precious to her just died. She is currently staring upon the once intact wine bottle which is now nothing but a pile of shards and spilled liquid.
Her eyes slowly became devoid. Being in the pits of depression, she even forgotten to send the man who I presumably bumped onto her, to the healers.
Another man who seems to be acquaintance with the wine destroyer, made fun of Aqua by saying.
"Look! She's crying just because of a wine bottle! Haha!"
Seeing this scene caused me to feel irritated.
Not because of the useless goddess but for another reason.
Yes, that's right. My money was spent on that wine bottle.
I went towards the two men before asking with an irritated voice, "Oi, that wine bottle was mine. You better compensate me or suffer the consequences."
One of the men nudged the other before charging towards me. Brandishing his right arm. His presumed friend followed behind him.
I pointed my hand on the ground before casting, "Create water."
This caused both men to slip and fell to the ground.
I then dropped the cage filled with dangerous eels on them.
"Gaaahhhhhh!"
"Ahhh!"
They screamed as they were electrocuted before losing consciousness.
Moving around them before reaching Aqua.
She was still on knees but her expression lightened up.
Strangely she looked towards me before slowly revealing a smile.
"Kazuma~ Thank you."
Eh... Did man hit her so hard that she forgot herself? Or did she eat something strange today?
Looking at her made me wonder if she ever thanked me before with a smile like that.
Aqua's expression then slowly turned to that of a proud princess.
"Come on, what are you waiting for? As a bodyguard, you must help me get up!"
I shook away my previous thoughts before yelling back at her.
"Stupid goddess! Do it yourself!"
