Chapter 368

When Broly and the others came out to greet them, Aqua was acting just like an old leader, hands clasped behind her back, leading a group of Goddesses and Angels on a tour of the garden in front of the Annex.

This garden was normally tended to by Yunyun, but in Aqua's mouth, it sounded as if she herself had been the one organizing it.

However, Aqua had indeed done a bit of organizing; if helping water the plants when she had the leisure and elegance to do so counted as organizing.

"This is the Sword Goddess, this is the Forest Goddess, this is the Unlucky Goddess..."

"It's the Misfortune Goddess!"

"Same thing, don't mind it too much."

The Loli Goddess, wrapped in black cloth and looking like a gloomy girl, complained; Aqua merely shrugged at her complaint.

After introducing the Lower World Goddesses and Angels to the group, she also introduced Broly and the others' identities to the Goddesses and Angels.

"These are my loyal Believers from the Lower World~"

Aqua pointed at Yunyun and Megumin and the others; Megumin wanted to retort that she wasn't an Axis Cult Believer, but Yunyun covered her mouth and whispered in her ear to leave Aqua some face in front of her Subjects.

"This is my family's Cute Disciple Broly; he possesses powerful strength and the astonishing Wisdom I bestowed, saving this world that should have been ravaged by the Demon King~"

At this, Aqua picked up the Saiyan boy again, showing him off proudly to the other Goddesses and Angels.

"Ah, so it's Broly-sama!"

The Goddesses and Angels exclaimed; the origin of the Heavenly Holiday was known to all Gods — the Hero Disciple under the Great Water Goddess, who, to express his love for his Goddess Master, made an extremely Precious wish.

And the Great Water Goddess pitied the other Goddesses' hardship of working year-round without rest, willing to share the joyful holiday belonging solely to her with the other Goddesses; only after obtaining the Chief God's acknowledgment did it expand to all Goddesses.

For the other protagonist of this holiday's origin, this group of Goddesses and Angels were still quite Curious, and held a considerable degree of favorable impression toward him.

"Alright, I'll have my Believers and Eris entertain you first; I still have other important matters to discuss with my Disciple, see you later."

Leaving the group of Goddesses and Angels to Eris and Yunyun and the others to entertain, Aqua carried Broly off to a Corner.

"How about it, any suitable ones?"

Aqua asked in a Small Voice; she was quite confident — if beautiful women had a higher probability of becoming Broly's wife candidates, then this batch of Goddesses and Angels abducted to the Lower World didn't have a single ugly one; each taken alone was a rare beauty in the Human World.

Especially the Forest Goddess; she possessed a rare broad Chest among Goddesses; whether in Shape, size, or perkiness, Aqua admitted she fell short.

If he didn't like too large, then the Sword Goddess wasn't bad either; the other party often trained Martial Arts in Heaven, her skin incomparably Tight and elastic; though her chest wasn't large, she won in authenticity — completely unlike Eris's padded type, she was the handful type.

What, he likes small ones? That's no problem either; the Unlucky Goddess is exactly that type — Loli, weak, and a bit social anxiety; in charge of receiving dead souls, she handles those shut-in, Hikikomori types; a small Goddess with a delicate body who wouldn't dare speak loudly even if Bullied.

With so many Goddesses and Angels, Aqua felt there should be one or two among them suitable to become her Disciple's New Wife.

"No, there isn't a single wife in here."

However, Broly's answer made her dig at her ears.

"What did you say, not a single one suitable to join the Crystal Palace?"

Aqua asked in disbelief.

"Mhm."

Broly nodded; the Crystal Palace looked not at the woman's quality, but at whether there were Figurines.

"Damn, conditions are actually this strict."

Aqua got a bit huffy, her mouth blaming those abducted Goddesses and Angels for being useless — not a single one had obtained the Crystal Palace's acknowledgment.

"Alright alright, you all can go back to Heaven now."

Yunyun, who was discussing flower cultivation insights with the Forest Goddess, suddenly saw Aqua walk over and say this.

"Eh, Aqua-sama, didn't you say you were having us come to the Lower World for a Dinner Party, and that you still had additional matters to instruct us on?"

An Angel lady asked somewhat strangely.

"Originally there were, but now I've discovered you're not suitable; as for the Dinner Party or whatever, I suddenly discovered there's no extra food at home~"

Aqua's Attitude was truly genuine; upon discovering these Subject Goddesses and Angels were completely useless, she directly treated them as Free Meal existences.

Hearing this, a group of Goddesses and Angels looked at each other in blank dismay, while Yunyun was somewhat puzzled: "Didn't I buy a lot of food this morning?"

"Can't you tell? Not a single one of these Goddesses and Angel ladies can obtain the Crystal Palace's acknowledgment; Aqua is chasing them away!"

Megumin pursed her lips; she, whose Moral Bottom Line wasn't very high either, unexpectedly understood Aqua's train of thought at this moment.

Of course, Megumin didn't voice her inner thoughts, only feeling that Aqua's behavior was truly stingy and embarrassing enough.

"Alright alright, Aqua-sama, we're holding a Banquet tonight; if the number of participants isn't enough, it won't be Lively enough!"

However, Megumin also had a way to respond to the situation; she walked over and said to Aqua.

"Eh, a Banquet? Then there's No Way."

Aqua, who was about to chase the Gods back to Heaven, had a huge Attitude change, revealing a "Count yourselves lucky" look.

"Then you all stay, and leave after attending the Banquet!"

The Water Goddess is also the Goddess of Banquets; Aqua loves Lively Banquets the most.

What, you ask why she likes Lively events but still wanted to chase the Gods away?

That's because, in Aqua's Cognition, a Dinner Party treating people to food and holding a Banquet are two different things.

Save where to save, spend where to spend; Aqua is both Stingy and generous.

Time quickly arrived at evening; the Banquet unfolded in the Annex courtyard.

Besides the Goddesses and Angels, the attendees included Princess Alice and the female guard attendants she brought.

"All of you come have a taste; last time I Purchased this fine wine from the Spring City, I heard it's been sealed in the shop's cellar for over fifteen years~"

A Basket of fine wine from Eight Million plus Eris was moved onto the table; Aqua, this Goddess who becomes extremely Refreshing at Banquets, personally opened the lids and poured fine wine for the Gods and Angels.

"Come on, all of you drink heartily!"

Aqua entertained the crowd.

"Not sure about other things, but Aqua's wine appraisal level is still pretty Not Bad."

Darkness sipped a mouthful and praised.

"Hmph, that's the only thing about her worth praising~"

Megumin said, swirling her wine glass.

"Why can't I still drink?"

Broly, who had gone to ask for alcohol but was poured a glass of juice by Aqua instead, looked a bit puzzled.

"Because at thirteen you're still a child; you have to be at least sixteen to drink alcohol."

Yunyun answered with a red face; her alcohol tolerance wasn't good, and just one cup made her complexion react.

Fortunately, the maid Princess Alice brought had helped her prepare the food for after this banquet.

"Aqua really is something, starting the banquet before Wiz even got back!"

Darkness, wearing a white evening dress, began to complain.

Her relationship with Wiz counted as comparatively good.

"Even if Wiz that guy came back, he doesn't really eat food~"

Aqua came over carrying a wine bottle, filled the knight girl's empty glass to the brim, and answered her.

A Lich indeed doesn't really eat normal food, but if they want to eat it's possible, as long as Broly infuses sufficient life energy into Wiz's body, letting Wiz's Lich body temporarily activate to be the same as a normal living person.

"Wiz is back."

Speak of the Lich and the Lich arrives; Broly pointed outside.

The people beside him looked over and saw, outside the guardrail, a Masked Demon following behind Wiz, walking over from the opposite side of the street entrance.

"Eh, that bastard Vanir, how come he came too?"

At the sight of Vanir, even Aqua, who was in a banquet mood and welcoming to everyone, couldn't help but show a trace of dislike on her face.

"Ugh, this heavy Heavenly smell, it's just like the stench of a latrine that's been fermenting for a long time in summer~"

As he approached near the annex, Vanir covered his nose.

"Yo, which maggot from Hell dares spout nonsense at my front door?"

Aqua, coming out carrying a wine bottle, heard this and immediately confronted him head-on.

"Oh, so it's the great Water Leech Goddess here, no wonder the latrine stench is so strong!"

"What did you say?"

"Stop, I didn't come to visit you."

Vanir said, and looked at the Saiyan boy beside him.

"Long time no see, Broli-sama."

He greeted Broly.

"Vanir, I heard you've been helping run the Magic Tool Shop; Wiz's Magic Tool Shop being profitable these years owes no small part to your help, thank you."

Broly thanked him.

"Not at all, this is what I should do; if you insist on thanking me, then give me a bit of your negative emotions!"

Vanir said, bowing.

"Hey, my Broly's always happy-go-lucky, what negative emotions would he have for a parasite like you to suck!"

Aqua immediately interrupted.

"How could there be none; not finding a new wife in this world, isn't that it?"

Vanir said loudly, then took a deep breath.

"Ugh, cough cough... damn, forgot this place still has Heavenly Atmosphere!"

The Duke of Hell cursed; he'd succeeded in getting the Saiyan boy's negative emotions, but accompanying them was heavy Heavenly Atmosphere.

This feeling was like delicious fried chicken, except eaten in a public toilet that hasn't been cleaned up; the taste made Vanir's complexion change for a moment.

"Hahaha, maggot from Hell, serves you right for randomly sucking others' negative emotions, now you get to feel the Heavenly Goddess's Sacred Purification Atmosphere!"

Aqua laughed heartily.

"What are you laughing at, a Goddess who worries she can't keep her own Disciple in this world too long, might be treated by others as an unpopular empty-nest old Goddess!"

"How would you know..."

"Hahaha, don't forget I'm the Thousand-Mile Eyes Demon Vanir; your panic, shame, and worry in past, present, and future, I can see clearly through these eyes, and I hereby declare now, hmm, your panic will become reality in the future, future empty-nest old Goddess-sama!"

"Ah, Sacred Purification~"

Aqua, embarrassed into anger, fired a purification spell at the Masked Demon.

"Mask Escape Technique!"

In response, Vanir took off his mask and threw it to the other side; his body was purified into slag, but at the place where the mask was thrown, a new clay body was reconstructed.

"Your slow purification magic, how could it possibly hit..."

Vanir's voice suddenly stopped.

"When..."

The white mask on his face was suddenly bisected.

"Instant Slash~"

The Sword Goddess appeared behind this Duke of Hell at some unknown time, hand gripping the sword hilt, having clearly already slashed one strike.

"Damn Heavenly Goddess, I'll return from Hell again!"

Leaving behind a classic villain line, this Duke of Hell Vanir's clay body dissipated on the spot.

"Ah, Mr. Vanir..."

Wiz exclaimed; the Sword Goddess looked toward her.

"Lich?"

The Sword Goddess frowned, wanting to act, but sensed another crisis.

"Hmm?"

Turning her head toward where the crisis originated, she saw Broly staring at her.

The feeling the boy gave her had completely changed, like a ferocious beast holding back its strike.

As long as she dared continue her move, she would be grabbed a step ahead by the other party and torn apart.

"This is Wiz. Although she isn't my Believer, she is a good Lich who often helps purify Dead Souls in This World, increasing the workload by at least three times. Even Eris gave her a Thumbs-up and said 'Not Bad' upon seeing her."

Aqua explained at this moment.

"But how could she be mixed up with the Duke of Hell."

The Goddess of the Sword frowned.

"Don't get it wrong. This isn't mixing together, but that stinking Hell Crest Worm was once defeated by My Home's Disciple, and is currently working under this Lich.

Honestly, this One Sword of yours Counts as damaging My Home Disciple's property. If not for you not being Recognized, I would definitely make you Compensate for this loss~"

What Aqua meant was the Flesh Repayment kind as a wife, but although Flesh Repayment isn't possible now, Vanir eating defeat and getting cut down still made her Mood Not Bad.

Not waiting for her own Subordinate, the Goddess of the Sword, to continue asking anything, she Pushed the other party back to Participate in the Banquet, then the music played on and the dance went on.

"Watch Me, Super Flowers Birds Wind Moon~"

Although both the dancer and the musician were Aqua, this acrobat expert Boss.

【Boss performing for me to watch, Boss Personally pouring wine and urging me to drink……】

After the Banquet ended, the Goddess and Angels were chased back, but their Recognize degree toward Aqua seemed to have become higher.

"Since everyone is going back, then I'll go back too."

Eris wanted to Sneak Away back to the heavens, but was Grabbed by the back collar by Aqua.

"Haha, How Possible let you go back, you are Recognized ugh……"

Aqua burped.

"Obediently stay here for me, everyone else's accounts all Count on you, give me even more Happiness!"

Aqua was drunk, but also seemed not drunk.

She treated Eris as a Sucker, wanting her to bear the Responsibility of the other Goddesses and Angels who weren't Crystal Palace Recognized as wives.

"No, Senior Aqua, how can you be this unreasonable~"

The Goddess of Luck Want To Cry No Tears, but was still Retained.

At night, she was even used as a hug pillow by Aqua, held while sleeping.

"Broly, tomorrow go to Our Village, Megumin and the others often write letters asking me about your situation."

Yunyun said with a red face.

"Mm, okay."

Broly Agreed.

"Great."

The girl was very happy, Leaned over and gave a smacking kiss on the boy's Cheek.

"Ah, Yunyun, you Unexpectedly dare……"

Megumin originally wanted to say something, but after the smacking kiss, Yunyun Directly Fell Asleep.

Looking at the sleeping Yunyun's happy expression, Megumin also swallowed back the words at her mouth.

"Tomorrow I'll tell you properly……"

Megumin grunted like a little pig, and didn't Steal tonight's face-to-face sleeping C-position.

Lying down behind Broly again, reaching an arm and crossing a leg to hug the boy from behind, yet also treating Broly as a hug pillow.
