Chapter 134 Dragon Egg
Once people have money, they lose their goals.
"Ah, I'm so bored." Kazuma Sato lay on the table. "I really miss the days when I was an adventurer, being chased by giant toads in the wind and sun every day, and dying if I wasn't careful."
"—Kazuma, have you awakened some kind of bad habit?" Charlotte was taken aback.
"No way! I was just making sarcastic remarks. This is obviously showing off, isn't it? And you perverted female knight over there, don't look at me like that! Or I'll slap you!"
"Varied----!?"
Darkness, who had been scolded, was not angry at all; instead, he became red-faced and panting.
She seemed to be enjoying it.
The group was currently idling around the guild. After selling their intellectual property rights, Charlotte and Kazuma Sato had made a fortune and no longer needed to toil away as adventurers. Aqua, Darkness, and Megumin were also enjoying the fruits of their labor.
With a snap!
"No, this can't go on!" Aqua slammed her hand on the table, looking at the group earnestly, and said, "That's right, I'm the goddess Aqua!"
"What's wrong with you?"
Kazuma Sato rolled his eyes in annoyance, pursing his lips in displeasure at Aqua for interrupting his leisurely enjoyment. Charlotte, on the other hand, patted his shoulder, signaling him to calm down, before turning to look at the blue-haired An Shen beside him.
"Yes, you are indeed a goddess, so could I ask you to buy some ingredients for dinner? By the way, if you want to buy snacks, you can only spend a maximum of 500."
"
"No, that's not it!!"
Aqua shouted and yelled.
Charlotte looked at her with a puzzled expression and asked, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
She is very gentle and considerate.
As he became a wealthy man who never had to worry about food or clothing, his temper improved along with his wealth, so his tolerance for the idiotic goddess increased several levels.
"Hey Charlotte," Aqua declared earnestly, "I'm a goddess—Goddess Aqua! But nobody treats me like a goddess, isn't that strange!?"
Charlotte glanced at her companions.
"Hmm—let alone being considered a goddess, nobody else believes you're a goddess at all, so there's nothing we can do about it, right?"
"That's right, Aqua. You can't just call yourself a goddess, or the real goddess will be angry."
"Aqua, are you feeling unwell?"
Before Kazuma Sato could even speak, Darkness and Megumin looked at him with concern; they genuinely didn't believe Aqua was a goddess. And it's true, if all goddesses were like her, the heavens would be doomed.
However, Aqua was incredibly stubborn.
"It's not that there's no way! As a goddess—and an elite in charge of the island nation! I can't continue to drift along!! I want everyone to understand completely that I am a goddess!"
understood.
Aqua, as a goddess, constantly alternates between a life of idleness and moments of intense ambition. However, she also experiences periods of heightened energy, and now is clearly that time.
"It's impossible, you should give up."
"Everyone will just see you as a pathetic person who claims to be a goddess."
Charlotte and Kazuma Sato spoke up one after another, trying to persuade her to give up the plan. Darkness and Megumin also looked concerned.
"So, I've thought about it carefully."
"It's hopeless. He's not even listening to anyone."
Charlotte covered her face in pain.
He had had enough of Aqua's unreasonable behavior. If this continued, he would have to consider leaving the church, even if it meant losing his most important skill.
Aqua, however, was lost in her own daydreams, saying, "Once everyone has witnessed my exceptional purification abilities, they should believe I'm a goddess, right? How about it, isn't this a good method?"
"Yeah, great, great—sounds good—that's wonderful—" Charlotte said in a monotone tone, sounding particularly perfunctory.
Darkness and Megumin blinked too.
"Indeed, Aqua's purification abilities are very strong."
"If we can do something, maybe we'll actually get recognition."
They gave it a very high level of approval.
At this time, Aqua's efficiency was exceptional. She stood up and said, "Then without further ado, to let everyone understand my power as a goddess, I'm going to the streets of Axel!"
"Oh, go quickly, go quickly."
"Charlotte, you're coming with me!"
"Why!?"
Charlotte couldn't hold back any longer. She knew this would happen, which was why she felt so annoyed.
Kazuma Sato waved his hand dismissively and said, "You two, remember to buy ingredients for dinner when you go back."
"Hey!" Charlotte was furious at Sato Kazuma for standing by and watching her die.
Just as he was about to follow the idiotic goddess to the streets to act foolishly, a figure suddenly appeared beside them, attracting their attention.
It was impossible to tell whether it was male or female; a thick hooded cloak concealed its face and figure, and there was a worn-out short sword at its waist. It was dressed in an overly mysterious manner.
"Who are you looking for?"
Charlotte.
The voice was deep; it was a man's.
TA was also staring at Charlotte, clearly knowing who Charlotte was, and then said, "I saw on the notice board that there are commissions for collecting magic items, weapons, and equipment—"
"Oh, I understand." Charlotte nodded.
Sato Kazuma seemed a little puzzled. He tugged at Charlotte's sleeve and whispered, "What's going on? When did you post the commission?"
Aqua and the others also had expressions of curiosity on their faces.
There was nothing to hide, so Charlotte explained frankly, "A few days ago, when we reached a mutually beneficial agreement with Banir. You see, my profession is High Priest, right? Considering I can't protect myself, I need some magical items for protection—cough cough, stop choking me, Anemii! I've already made it clear that I don't need any cloak-like equipment."
Anemi is essentially an excellent artifact, but its desire for control and jealousy are frighteningly strong, so Charlotte predicted early on that she didn't need the cloak-like magical item.
"I see—"
Kazuma Sato nodded thoughtfully.
Because of their partnership with Barnier, they weren't short of money. While they could simply give up, Barnier's previous words were still bothering them. Considering they were also weaklings, should they take this opportunity to issue a commission to buy magical items for self-defense?
He wisely refrained from asking why he didn't buy it from Wiz's magic item shop, because that shop was—extremely outrageous.
"That's it." Charlotte looked at TA, who was wearing a thick cloak and not showing his true face, and put his hands on his chin in a commander's pose. He said, "You should have seen the commission. It says that I will not buy any magical items that do not interest me. My standards are quite strict."
He said that in a pretentious manner.
But this didn't scare the cloaked man away. Instead, he smiled and said, "I don't have the magical artifact you mentioned, but—"
I wonder if this item will be of interest to anyone?
He placed a package on the table and then slowly opened it.
What came into view was a huge egg.
It was even larger than an ostrich egg, and had strange patterns on it, making it look quite unusual.
"This is—"
"Dragon egg."
