Chapter 363

Merad taught him: don't let a good girl down, and don't waste time on a bad girl.

But to Broly, a so-called good girl is one willing to become his wife, and perhaps still possessing the ability to produce Happiness Points, while a bad girl is one unwilling to become his wife, and who would launch attacks against him, showing strong hostility.

As for Eris, in his eyes she is neither a good girl, but nor does she count as a bad girl; she counts as a neither-good-nor-bad girl, yet he still wouldn't do anything to this Goddess of Luck.

"Broly, you child really waste my kindness. Do you know how much effort I spent to abduct Eris down from the Heavenly Realm?"

Aqua was complaining about her own Disciple's behavior, her fork stabbing into the fried Giant Frog meat steak, the feeling just like a hate-iron-not-become-steel old mother.

"What effort? Clearly you invited me to the Lower World, I directly agreed, and then Aqua-senpai you didn't speak of divine virtue, after descending to the Lower World you gave me a drink laced with knockout drugs. I completely didn't suspect your malicious intent, and was just drugged unconscious and tied up by you!"

Eris shouted, her resentment toward Aqua running quite deep.

Fortunately, although Aqua is unreliable, her Disciple Broly is still quite reliable.

Eris looked at the Saiyan boy feeding food to Yunyun and being fed in return, and a gentle smile unconsciously appeared on her face.

【Eris Happiness Value continuously rising】

Broly heard the Crystal Palace's prompt sound, turned his head and looked at the white-haired Goddess across from him.

After their gazes met, the Goddess of Luck reddened a little, after all she was peeking at the boy and got discovered by the person himself.

This made her hurriedly avert her gaze, raising a hand to finger her bangs in a grooming gesture, to avoid being too embarrassed.

Only she would still occasionally steal glances at the boy across from her, and upon discovering Broly still staring straight at her, the pink color on Eris's face climbed up to her ear tips.

To the side, Aqua was still clamoring about "the knockout drugs aren't money, tricking you down to the Lower World doesn't take effort, right" and such, but got roasted by the Lich lady next to her.

"Aqua-sama, you took my knockout drugs, and really didn't pay!"

"Shut up, you dead Lich, can't you just deduct it from my dividends yourself?"

Aqua also holds shares in the Magic Tool Shop, has money to spend every time she descends to the Lower World, and it's all thanks to Wiz's Magic Tool Shop.

Of course, Wiz is unreliable, but there are reliable Hell Demons in the shop. Vanir has strictly controlled the Magic Tool Shop's stock quality these years, yet managed to not let Wiz this shopkeeper randomly exert his extremely terrible business talent.

"Even if the knockout drugs were paid for, does tricking this kind of idiot Goddess down to the Lower World really require spending effort?"

Megumin expressed doubt. This Goddess Eris hasn't descended to the Lower World for the first time, and gets along with them quite well too.

But purely in terms of personality simplicity, Megumin directly stated that deceiving the other party doesn't require any effort at all; a few words are enough.

"Mm, indeed so!"

Aqua thought a bit, then nodded seriously.

"Hey, you guys are too excessive."

Darkness immediately slapped the table.

As the saying goes: the lord is humiliated, the minister dies; the god is humiliated, the believers rage.

This Knight girl began to display her devout faith.

"Eris-sama merely simply wishes to believe her friends, but Aqua, what kind of friend are you?

Eris-sama believes in you so much, yet you used knockout drugs to backstab her. This is simply a trampling on friendship!"

"Tch, you guy still have the nerve to say me. Just now who exactly gave up on rescuing Eris?!"

Aqua rolled her eyes at the Female Knight, then spoke.

"Uu~"

Darkness covered her chest, her face showing a somewhat unnatural flush.

Ah, she was also despised, also treated as a scum Knight.

"You this pervert Knight, enjoying being insulted again, right?!"

Megumin glanced at her, then rudely spoke up.

"No such thing~"

Darkness tried to refute, but with a sort of reluctant-yet-welcoming feeling.

"Don't give her sweetness. We immediately stop using words or gazes to continue insulting her!"

Megumin said.

Hearing this, Darkness's face paled: "Ah, I'm already like this, how can you stop."

Truly, an utterly hopeless pervert Knight.

"Eris, you really aren't willing to become my wife?"

Broly asked. He looked at the Crystal Palace Panel showing the other party's Happiness Value had already broken through 170, and felt the other party was still worth fighting for.

"Ah, this matter..."

Eris started hemming and hawing.

Truthfully, she doesn't dislike Broly.

Even, upon knowing it was the other party who saved this world ravaged by the Demon King Army, she is very grateful to the boy.

"Hey, speak straight if you have something to say. Don't hem and haw making people anxious!"

Aqua most can't stand wishy-washy guys, directly urged her.

"Uh, I'm actually not unwilling to be your wife. It's just that as the Goddess of Luck, there are many things I need to consider."

"For example?"

Megumin chewed on stewed meat and asked curiously.

"For example my Sect. The Eris Cult is actually a monogamy system. I, as the Goddess believed in by everyone, cannot take the lead in destroying this system."

Eris said.

"Hah, just because of this, you're unwilling to become my Disciple's wife?"

Aqua found it a bit speechless.

"Then you just manifest and change your own Sect's system, wouldn't that work?"

She gave advice, and spoke of how the current Axis Cult in this world, as long as it's true love, allows unlimited numbers of males or females to get along as husband and wife.

"How can that be? My Eris Cult isn't your Axis Cult, Senior."

"What? You, a mere Junior, have objections to my Axis Cult?!"

Aqua is still very protective of her own; she can't stand the slightest disparagement of her own believers by outsiders.

"Ah, that's not what I meant. I just feel that as Goddesses, we should respond to our believers' faith.

Those believers who are unwaveringly loyal to love believe my blessings can bring their marriages a blissful outcome.

Then, as the God they believe in, how could I intervene in someone else's marriage?

Moreover, it's a marriage like yours……"

Speaking of this, Eris's face grew even redder. Through Aqua's mouth, she knew about this kid Broly — that at a young age, besides having a group of wives in this world, he also had some wives in another world.

"Eh, so it's the idol baggage acting up!"

Megumin was a bit surprised, but indicated she could understand.

After all, something like a persona isn't something that can be discarded haphazardly.

Whether it's oneself in others' eyes, or oneself in one's own eyes, they are both oneself.

Broly: "……"

He didn't expect that what would block Eris from becoming his wife would actually be Eris's own Sect.

At this moment, Broly had an impulse to destroy the Eris Cult of this world.

However, even he, using his butt to think, knows that once the Eris Cult is destroyed.

Then the white-haired Goddess of Luck before him, her Happiness Value towards him right now, would probably all drop to zero.

Even worse, she would become hostile towards him, and still refuse to become his wife……

Eh, wait. If that's the case, wouldn't Eris become a bad girl? Then I could use the Ecstasy Finger, bring her body bliss, and thereby make her surrender and agree to become my wife? Broly looked at Eris opposite him, then at his own finger, and for a moment was somewhat conflicted.

"Unwaveringly loyal to love, to marriage — truly a wonderful Doctrine!"

Yunyun took an interest in the Eris Cult's Doctrine.

"However, what does being unwaveringly loyal to love, to marriage, have to do with having to be monogamous?"

She asked a bit curiously.

"Ah, this……"

Eris was a bit stumped by the question, and for a moment didn't know how to explain.

"Monogamy, isn't it the concrete embodiment of unwavering loyalty in love and blissful marriage?"

The white-haired Goddess thought for a while, then retorted with a question.

"Uh, I don't know about that, but what I do know is that I feel extremely satisfied with my current life. By my side are Darkness, Megumin, Wiz, Aqua — these very close friends. We also share a common husband, Broly. Every day we have many common topics to chat about. Although Broly has to live in another world, we can always bring him up……"

Read the no-error version at Yikan!

Yunyun spoke of her satisfaction with her current life. She is a rare normal person in the Crimson Demon Village, even a rare contented person in this world.

Just Broly coming back, everyone gathering together for dinner — her Happiness Points kept rising without stop. The look of satisfaction on her face could let anyone see her happiness at this moment.

"Yunyun, you kid……"

Aqua was even a bit infected by it.

"Geez, don't make me this moved~"

Darkness complained, wiping away moved tears.

"Yunyun really is our family's little angel!"

Miss Wiz said with a beaming smile.

"Oh my, why suddenly say such mushy things?!"

Megumin only felt like ants were crawling on her body, making her uncomfortable all over, but she didn't refute it either.

"So, Lady Eris, do you feel the feelings between us are false, not sincere enough, not loyal enough? And that our future marriages would also be unhappy?"

Eris opened her mouth, unable to speak words of denial.

Perhaps in daily life, this group of people often has disputes and quarrels.

But to say the feelings between them are false — Eris, who could occasionally glimpse this family's daily life through Darkness, would be willing to be the first to step out and deny it.

Without a doubt, this is already a family. Even Aqua Senior, who cannot tolerate the undead, can now tolerate a Lich eating at the same table as her, and even doesn't mind drinking with the other party.

"No, your feelings are real, and I am willing to bestow blessings upon your future marriages!"

Eris replied.

"Then, Miss Eris, are you willing to join in and become one of us?"

Yunyun pursued the question.

"This……"

The white-haired Goddess still hesitated a bit. With her Goddess idol baggage, she wasn't so easily persuaded.

"Actually, Lady Eris, there's a matter I must report to you."

Right at this time, Darkness spoke up.

"What?"

Eris looked over.

"Some nobles and wealthy people who invested money to join the Eris Cult — they say they have only one wife or husband, are unwaveringly loyal to marriage and love, but the guys who secretly have lovers are not few."

Darkness reported.

The Doctrine of monogamy sounds very beautiful, but in this medieval world, it is instead used by some nobles or wealthy people as an excuse to deal with mistresses wanting to climb higher.

Quite a few nobles and wealthy people, precisely because of this convenience, chose to believe in the Eris Cult — it lets the wife at home rest assured, and makes the lover behave a bit.

"Eh!?"

Eris's eyes widened.

"Hmph, this is the reality of the world!"

Megumin shrugged, looking like someone who had been there, but in truth, before this, she was completely unclear about this kind of upper-class romantic secret.

"Haha, so that's how it is. This is the quality of Eris Cult believers, after all. In comparison, my Axis Cult believers are still much cuter!"

Aqua laughed heartily.

"Hey hey hey, Aqua, I'm not saying this so you can generalize. There are people like my father in the Eris Cult too. Even though my mother passed away many years ago, he never fooled around, and remained single-mindedly devoted to my mother."

Darkness said with some dissatisfaction, then turned back to her own goddess: "Lady Eris, every word I spoke is true. I can guarantee it with my faith in you."

"Ha, guaranteeing with your faith, isn't that the same as guaranteeing with Aqua's integrity?"

Megumin is proficient at insulting two people with one sentence.

"Does Aqua have integrity? My faith is real!"

Darkness retorted.

"Hey, you two bastards, think I can't hear you insulting me?"

Aqua got a bit angry, but since what the two said were facts, she didn't flare up.

After all, she had already bound Eris with actual action.

If she still argued that she had integrity now, that would be too shameless.

Although Aqua has no integrity, she still wants some face.

Likewise, she still has a bit of self-awareness.

"Darkness, I believe your words."

While Aqua and the other two were bickering over whose was higher, Aqua's integrity or Darkness's faith, Eris expressed her trust in Darkness.

Although she is simple, she isn't completely a naive sweet girl. On the contrary, benefiting from some comic books from Earth in this world, as well as the experience of once adventuring with Darkness as the avatar Chris, she has actually seen this world, the dark side of humanity.

And, as a goddess, she can also trace along faith to probe a believer's actions. Darkness indeed did not lie.

Precisely because of this, Eris felt a bit disappointed.

"Lady Eris, please cheer up a bit. It was those guys who broke their promise. It's all their fault, not yours.

Hmm, what I want to say is, since those guys can say one thing and do another, you can do that too.

Of course, you can still remain faithful to love and marriage, just acting as an intervener in other people's relationships and marriages.

But don't you think that's more exciting? If possible, I actually want to be an intervener despised by others too……"

Towards the end, Darkness started to seem a bit off. She is the type who, instead of being a proper official wife, wants to be a mistress wife. Preferably despised by other Crystal Palace Official Members, becoming a wife inferior by one level.

Eris covered her face a bit. Suddenly, she felt her believer wasn't that reliable either, suspecting if she had been influenced by Senior Aqua.

However, Darkness's words did make her waver a bit.

"Let me consider it a bit more~"

But she couldn't make a decision for the time being, so she said that.

"Fine, but I shouldn't stay in this world too long."

Broly nodded, then spoke again.

"Ah, Broly, you can't leave this early."

Hearing this, Aqua hurriedly stopped him. She wanted to become the one who attracted Broly to stay the longest after returning as a Disciple, Broly's most beloved Master Wife.

"This guy Eris is unreliable, but I'll return to Heaven in two days to invite more goddesses to descend on this world for a team building activity. At that time, you can see if there are any new ones who can be wives acknowledged by the Crystal Palace!"
