Chapter 130

"Ah, why am I the Water Goddess and not the Time Goddess? I really want to turn back time, return to the moment before I drank yesterday..."

Aqua, who had been praised by Broly as prettier than the moon and maintained a beautiful mood all night, suddenly recalled the stupid self-exposing words she had spoken in the Guild yesterday when she came to the Adventurer's Guild again the next day.

This made her directly 】orz in front of the Guild's front door, complaining about her own capability, why she couldn't manipulate time, this kind of thing.

"Aqua Master, aren't you going in?"

Broly looked at Aqua in front of him, raising her butt, wriggling on the ground like a squirming maggot, and couldn't help but ask.

"Ah~"

Hearing Broly's words, Aqua let out a long sigh. Since the self-exposure incident yesterday had already happened, as long as she would still return to Axel's Adventurer's Guild, sooner or later she would have to face the strange gazes of other adventurers. Who was she?

She was the Water Goddess Aqua, the Master her disciple personally acknowledged last night as more beautiful than the moon. Right now she should display the bearing of a beautiful Goddess Master, use this incomparably smooth, thick face to resist all gazes attacking her! "Good morning, I, Aqua, have brought my disciple to the Guild this side again!"

Aqua pushed open the door and entered with the determination to die of social embarrassment, but the situation she imagined, where adventurers in the Guild would mock her saying 【Oh my, isn't this the Water Leech Goddess who falsely claimed her disciple's commission credit】, did not appear.

"G-Good morning, Miss Aqua."

The adventurers in the Guild all responded very politely, their expressions looking at Aqua also somewhat embarrassed.

"Eh, no one's coming to mock me?"

Aqua felt a bit strange, not knowing this was the influence caused by the events that continued to happen in the Guild after she left with Broly last night.

Among the strange commissions Aqua had taken before, a part was arranged by the Adventurer's Guild, but another part came from these adventurers.

It was said before, if one takes a commission but cannot complete it, the Adventurer's Guild has a penalty fee fine set up.

So, some adventurers, after taking a commission, finding it too difficult or too troublesome, would choose to pay the penalty fee rather than do the quest.

But if there was another choice, like letting other adventurers take over the commissions they didn't want, then the adventurers who took the commissions could smoothly escape being fined.

It just so happened Aqua was a guy who was easy to talk to with a few compliments, so before this, quite a few adventurers, by buying drinks and saying nice things, made Aqua take over the commission quests they regretted and didn't want to do.

And after Aqua's self-exposure incident broke out, the adventurers who had dumped troublesome quests on her recalled their own actions.

Of course, if Aqua were a guy with bad popularity, everyone would definitely be gloating.

But the problem is, Aqua is a relatively generous (vain) person. Every time she returned from completing a commission, she would basically treat everyone to drinks and meat.

Thinking of their own deeds, then thinking of the generosity of Aqua's master-disciple pair, this group of adventurers felt guilt rise up.

Last night, after Aqua and Broly left, the people who had dumped blame fell into self-guilt, while the adventurers who hadn't dumped blame, because they had been treated to meals by Aqua before, stood on the moral high ground looking at that group of blame-dumpers.

Thus, a reflection meeting appeared, subsequently causing the situation this morning where everyone was even more guilty than Aqua, all looking somewhat embarrassed when facing Aqua. This included the Guild's quest board girl, Luna.

"Miss Aqua, you two outstandingly completed many quests, but it was us, the Adventurer's Guild, who failed to consider your and your disciple's physical and mental issues, leading to yesterday's incident. As an apology, for this cancellation of commissions, you don't need to pay the corresponding penalty fees."

When Aqua cancelled the commissions, the quest board girl Luna instead apologized to the two of them, which moved Aqua greatly.

"Miss Luna..."

【Snot, snot...】

Luna, hugged by Aqua, screamed 'bad' in her heart, but on her face maintained the receptionist's politeness: "But if possible, from now on, please still come to the Guild this side more often to take quests, be more active as adventurers."

"Okay, but today we won't take quests. Next time for sure."

Broly handed over a tissue. Aqua took the tissue, wiped her nose, left those words, and brought her cute disciple out of the Adventurer's Guild's gate again.

"Today is a day without commissions. Broly, since we came to this world, we haven't properly rested or played, right?"

"Should be."

Broly wasn't too sure either. He felt it was quite relaxed in the Isekai, not like on Wanpa Star, where every day he had to gather Qi and fly for a long time.

"Then today, let's properly stroll around Axel, play, buy things we want."

Aqua's waist pouch was very bulging, because of Broly's active performance until yesterday, the two had seven-figure savings.

"Good."

Broly nodded, and followed Aqua strolling through Axel's streets.

"You say, does this count as a date?"

After strolling to a stall selling accessories, Aqua suddenly asked this.

"Date, what is that?"

Broly was somewhat confused. From the stall he picked a blue crystal pendant and a pair of wine-red dangling earrings, paid the bill and bought them.

"You don't even know what a date is?"

Aqua was somewhat surprised.

"Don't know, so what?"

Broly generously admitted he didn't know what a date was, and handed the blue crystal pendant he just bought toward Aqua's side.

"Eh, this is for me?"

"Mhm, it's for you."

Broly nodded. The Crystal Palace had prompted before: wife likes shiny things.

"This pendant's color matches Aqua Master very well, but if Aqua Master you don't like it, I can exchange and buy something else to give you."

"No, as long as it's something my cute disciple gave, I like it all."

Aqua said this, took the blue crystal pendant from Broly's hand, and then, happiness value rising, put the blue crystal pendant on her neck.

"Then what about this in your hand?"

She looked at the earrings in Broly's hand and asked.

"This is for Sister Marian. Her hair color is wine-red, so I picked wine-red things to give her."

"So not only me gets a gift!"

Aqua pouted.

"Not allowed?" Broly asked.

"It's not that it's not allowed, but you giving her earrings, the meaning should be different from giving me a pendant, right?"

"Mhm, the pendant for Aqua Master is to make you feel happiness, while the earrings for Sister Marian are to thank her for letting us stay at her home."

Broly nodded; this was an idea that suddenly surfaced when he decided to buy a gift for Aqua, and he didn't even look at the price when picking gifts.

If it looked pleasing to the eye and he felt the recipient would be happy upon receiving it, he just bought it directly.

"That's good then."

After getting Broly's affirmative reply, Aqua cheered up again, and she looked at Broly's clothes, then at her own, and dragged Broly toward the clothing store.

They had agreed to buy clothes earlier, but because they were busy with various commissions, they completely forgot about it.

This time, Aqua not only wanted to buy clothes for herself, but also pick out some decent ones for Broly; always wearing his younger brother's hand-me-downs wasn't a proper solution.

The clothes-buying process was somewhat boring for Broly; he was only interested in what to eat, as for what to wear, he could even accept beast skin clothes.

Aqua, on the other hand, experienced the joy of playing Miracle Nikki while changing clothes and making Broly change clothes.

"This outfit is so cute~"

"Customer truly has good taste; this is our store's signature Beast Ear Clothes."

"Broly, what do you think of this outfit?"

"As long as Master Aqua is happy, anything works."

Amid Broly's constant nodding, Aqua revealed her spendthrift nature.

With a wave of her hand, she bought children's clothes of various styles.

Result: she only bought three pieces for herself.

But the clothes she bought for Broly exceeded thirty pieces.

"So many things, carrying them is such a hassle; Boss, do you have a handcart here?"

Aqua asked.

"Sorry, Customer; besides you, our store has never had a customer who bought clothes so generously, so we don't have a handcart."

The shopkeeper shook his head; who buys clothes and purchases that many at once?

"Master Aqua, as for the clothes, you can leave them to me to carry."

Broly suddenly said.

"Eh, leave them to you, but Broly, your arms and legs are short, won't it be hard to carry?"

Aqua looked at her own disciple with some doubt.

"I have a Personal Space."

Broly said.

"What's that?"

"Just like your staff, Master."

While explaining, Broly directly demonstrated the Personal Space's effect.

With a flip of his hand, he took out an unworn Bay Beast Clothes.

Another flip, and the Bay Beast Clothes in his hand directly disappeared.

"Eh, is this outfit also your exclusive Equipment?"

Compared to Aqua's curiosity, the clothing store manager's focus was on the Bay Beast Clothes Broly had just taken out.

"Customer, if you don't mind, could you take out that outfit from just now again and let me have a look?"

"Hm?"

"Please; the money for the clothes you bought, I can give you a discount."

Broly scratched his head, but still took out a Bay Beast Clothes.

"Ah, this is a never-before-seen weaving technique, and this craftsmanship — coarse yet delicate..."

Looking at the clothes in Broly's hand, the shopkeeper exclaimed in amazement repeatedly.

"This customer, can you tell me which Master Tailor's masterpiece this is?"

"Uh, this is clothing my father wove for me."

Broly replied.

"So it's your father; wonder where your father is, and whether I could pay him a visit?"

"My father is not in this world."

Hearing this, the clothing store owner was stunned, and his face showed regret: "Heaven envies talent; to use pure weaving technique to weave a fur garment so incredibly tough — this is the most powerful Seamless Stitching Master Tailor I've ever seen, a pity there's no fate to meet him."

"Isn't this just a fur coat?"

Aqua asked.

"What do you know; this is art, and anyone who can weave this kind of garment must be a top-tier Master Tailor!"

Broly: "..."

His father Paragus seemed to be a Saiyan Mid-level Warrior.

"Here, I have an impertinent request, Customer; may I spend money to buy this outfit?"

"Uh..."

"Rest assured, I'm only curious about the weaving technique inside this outfit; buying it is just to attempt replicating this weaving art. Once I've learned it, I'll return the outfit completely intact, guaranteed no damage."
