Chapter 544 - 530: The Overly Cautious Hero Who Turns Around and Steps Carefully, and the Goddess of Master-Class Facial Expressions!

Chapter 544: Chapter 530: The Overly Cautious Hero Who Turns Around and Steps Carefully, and the Goddess of Master-Class Facial Expressions!

[ After this, everyone put their all into the upcoming School Festival, with Megumin, Emilia, and others in charge of scriptwriting.

Meanwhile, Kazuma and Aqua, under Cocytus’s leadership, were methodically preparing the venue setup.

Especially Kazuma’s incredibly skilled techniques, which even made Cocytus praise him uncontrollably: "Such exquisite craftsmanship!"

Standing atop a wooden stake, Aqua once again displayed the Party Trick skills she was so obsessed with: "What about me? What about me!"

"Very skilled craftsmanship!" Cocytus gave a perfunctory remark without even looking, then urged again: "Hurry up and work!" ]

"As expected of the Goddess and Hero who started out moving bricks and mixing cement. This is what you call working in your field of expertise!"

Everyone was crystal clear about Kazuma and Aqua’s history of making a fortune. This pair of oddball Hero and Goddess combination could absolutely be called expert-level when it came to construction work!

Especially Aqua’s amazing talent for part-time jobs; in terms of construction work, she was even quite a bit stronger than Kazuma!

"What an enviable talent..."

Jeanne d’Arc Alter sighed deeply after thinking about her own pitiful part-time job career.

If nothing else, just Aqua’s incredibly strong adaptability was enough to make people admire her. This was a Goddess who could calmly accept living in a stable, after all!

Looking at the somewhat melancholy Jalter, Artoria Lily walked over and smiled:

"Jeanne Alter-chan, don’t you think Aqua is a bit too down-to-earth for a Goddess?"

"Now that you mention it, yeah."

Jalter frowned slightly, a trace of confusion revealed in her eyes. It wasn’t just down-to-earth; it was down-to-the-underworld!

After all, if she had to move bricks during the day and live in a smelly stable at night, she would rather choose to have her Spirit Origin collapse and return to the Throne of Heroes.

Is that a life for a human?! But Aqua lived day by day without any self-awareness. This fulfilling life even made her forget about defeating the Demon King—can you believe it?

All in all, this silly Goddess Aqua’s adaptability is simply off the charts!

.....

[ Time passed quickly. After a few days of hard work, the School Festival venue had long been set up, and everyone was full of anticipation.

However, just one day before the School Festival began, the Mobile Fortress Destroyer, the BOSS that had been defeated during the Sports Festival, awakened again and directly destroyed the archway that had been made for the School Festival.

"The arch bridge we finally finished!" Aqua, arriving late, looked at the ruins on the ground and almost cried out.

Kazuma looked at the ruins ahead: "It feels like it was stomped flat by a giant object."

Hearing this, Aqua immediately collapsed to her knees on the ground, somewhat broken: "What on earth was it! What grudge does it have with me? Do you know how hard I worked to make it?"

Kazuma raised his hand speechlessly: "No, the one who worked hard was me, right?"

Aqua puffed up her cheeks with tears in her eyes, then lay on the ground rolling around and wailing loudly: "I’ve had enough! I absolutely refuse!"

"If it needs to be remade, Kazuma can do it alone!" Aqua, throwing a childish tantrum, didn’t look a bit like a Goddess at this moment.

Kazuma looked at the Goddess, who was planning to slack off again, and shouted angrily: "You bastard! Even if everyone does it together, we don’t know if we’ll make it in time for tomorrow!" ]

[ .....]

〜Projection of All Worlds〜

"Aqua’s procedure for dealing with problems: Cry about being wronged, rage impotently, then start slacking off and call for Kazuma..."

Everyone’s mouths twitched as they watched the mentally deficient Goddess throwing a tantrum on the ground. Where did this child come from? You are a Goddess, not a scoundrel!

.....

〜Cautious Hero: The Hero Is Overpowered but Overly Cautious World〜

In the Divine Realm, Ristarte slammed her hands on the table, laughing, sprawled out:

"Pfft, ahahaha! This counts as a stable performance for the Goddess of Water..."

As expected of an existence even more useless than Kazuma’s shut-in attributes. She’s clearly a Goddess, yet she loves to cry, and when she gets tired of crying, she goes straight to sleep.

Ariadoa also smiled helplessly:

"It would be one thing if Aqua just didn’t put her heart into things, but she also likes to dump problems on Kazuma and then immediately start slacking off."

That School Festival archway was hand-crafted by Kazuma; she seemed to have done nothing but slack off over there! To be a Goddess to this extent, Aqua is truly invincible.

No wonder no one believes Aqua when she calls herself a Goddess; they all treat it as a narcissistic title.

With this personality, where is there even a hint of a Goddess?

.....

[ Facing Rem, who intended to persuade her, Aqua puffed up her cheeks and turned her head away: "I said I won’t do it, so I won’t!"

Seeing Aqua still had not a shred of shame, Rem’s face instantly darkened, and even the oni horn on her head revealed itself.

"Aqua-san..." The somewhat terrifying and cold voice scared Aqua into a full-body shiver, and she immediately scrambled up from the ground.

"Phew..." Seeing this, Rem retracted her horn and revealed a gentle smile again: "We definitely want the Cultural Festival to be held successfully. You understand this, right?"

"I know that without you saying it, so I worked hard too." Aqua said, pointing to the debris ahead: "But look at it now! There’s definitely no time to fix it before tomorrow morning!"

Rem smiled: "Let’s do our best together."

Aqua added weakly: "It’s very tiring, you know."

Rem continued to smile fully: "Let’s do our best together."

"What an intense aura!" Watching Aqua being tamed into submission, Kazuma was stunned. No one understood better than him how difficult this idiot was to deal with. ]

"’I said I won’t do it, so I won’t’, ’I worked hard’, ’It’s very tiring’..."

At this moment, even the people outside the video couldn’t help but have dark lines across their faces.

May I ask where exactly your efforts were directed, Lady Aqua? Does trying to give up count as having worked hard?

You’re the only one yelling about giving up; you don’t look like a Goddess at all.

.....

〜Type-Moon World, Kaleid liner Prisma Illya Wordline〜

Illya looked at Rem’s smile, somewhat entranced:

"I take back the saying that blue is the color of wisdom. Blue-haired girls aren’t necessarily idiots; THERE ARE ALSO ANGELS—!"

The fake Goddess Aqua: Crying to the heavens, rolling on the ground...

The true Goddess Rem: Gently consoling, cheering on a certain negative-energy Goddess...

Both have blue hair, so why is the gap so big?

Watching the Goddess being suppressed by Rem’s aura, Miyu couldn’t help but chuckle:

"Aqua, a Goddess who responds to force but not persuasion."

It’s no wonder Kazuma never treats her as a Goddess. As long as you go soft on Aqua, she will absolutely push her luck and put on the airs of a Goddess.

.....

[ "If it must be finished by tomorrow, let’s start now."

"At least let’s start after lunch." Hearing Rem’s words, Aqua still thought about struggling a bit: "Since there’s no time anyway, let’s just cut corners and do it casually."

Rem smiled gently: "Let’s do it with all our might."

Seeing the serious expression on Rem’s face, Aqua suddenly panicked: "Start from the beginning?"

Rem slowly spread her arms like a savior Goddess. The dazzling sunlight shone upon her, emitting an incomparably holy radiance.

Accompanied by a flock of white doves flying out from behind her, Rem revealed an angelic smile: "No, start from zero!"

"WAAH—!" Even Aqua was blinded by the intense Goddess radiance coming from Rem. ]

[ .....]

〜Projection of All Worlds〜

"Who the real blue-haired Goddess is, surely needs no further explanation."

"Cut corners and do it casually... As expected of you, scummy as always."

Aqua’s happy-go-lucky personality sometimes really impressed everyone. Rather than saying she’s pervasive, it’s better to say she’s a pile of mud that can lie down anywhere.

.....

〜A Certain Magical Index World, Academy City〜

Misaka Mikoto’s vision went dark, and she rubbed her forehead with a headache:

"Lost... Whether from the perspective of a Goddess or as a person, she completely lost!"

Why are you, the genuine Goddess, the one being blinded by Rem’s radiance! Who is the real Goddess here!?

"Wait, where did that flock of white doves come from? And Chomusuke, how did you get mixed in there?"

Kuroko rubbed her eyes, utterly failing to understand where the doves had popped out from.

Aqua’s Party Trick skills could conjure things, even a whole bunch of them.

Could it be that Rem can do it too?

.....

[ With everyone’s concerted efforts, they managed to restore it on the very last day, and the lively School Festival was held as scheduled.

Everyone quickly immersed themselves in the joyful atmosphere. There was Kazuma taking Darkness on a Haunted House adventure while bickering, and Mare participating in a bodybuilding contest with Cocytus.

Meanwhile, outside the School Festival gate, two uninvited guests arrived: the incredibly cautious Hero Seiya and his reaction-face Goddess, Ristarte.

"Seiya, I heard it’s a School Festival. Let’s go in and take a look." Ristarte was instantly attracted by the lively scene inside and couldn’t wait to participate.

Hearing the strange laughter coming from the campus, the expressionless Seiya turned to leave for the sake of caution: "I don’t know what dangers are inside. I won’t go in. Let’s go!"

"Eh? We finally got here, and now we’re leaving?"

Ristarte naturally wanted to stroll around the School Festival. With a flying leap, she hugged the Cautious Hero’s thigh, begging bitterly: "I beg you, Seiya, let me have some fun!"

Seiya didn’t pause for a moment, simply dragging the reaction-face Goddess as he slowly left this ’dangerous’ place... At this moment, an introduction to their identities appeared on the screen.

Ristarte: A rookie Goddess with healing abilities.

Ryuguin Seiya: A Hero summoned by the rookie Goddess Ristarte, who is cautious to an unbelievable degree! ]

[ .....]

『 Viewers of Countless World 』

"A Goddess and Hero combination... Are things this abstract nowadays?"

The people outside the video watched the Goddess who lunged and hugged Seiya’s thigh, their eyes almost popping out... This Goddess and Hero don’t seem quite proper either.

.....

〜Type-Moon World, Fifth Holy Grail War Worldline〜

Seeing this, Emiya Shirou couldn’t help but roast:

"Except for Eris, at least among the Goddesses I’ve seen so far, not a single one is reliable."

The mentally deficient Goddess Aqua, the chain-dropping Goddess Ishtar, and now this rookie healing Goddess Ristarte, who looks improper.

Aqua is one thing, since she has no brain, but why do you, a healing Goddess, like to hug the Hero’s thigh just like Aqua!?

Tohsaka Rin sighed deeply, feeling a strong resonance:

"The reputation of the Goddess industry is being ruined..."

She could even imagine what kind of chemical reaction would occur if this mentally deficient Goddess and this abstract Goddess met.

"It’s not just the Goddess whose reputation is ruined, there’s also that Cautious Hero..."

Illya’s mouth twitched as she looked at Seiya’s description. Unbelievably cautious.

He had already reached the gate, but turned back and left simply out of concern for danger. You have to admit, that’s being really cautious...

I thought the scum Hero Kazuma was abstract enough, but I didn’t expect there to be another master.
