I love time travel the most!

"Although they were problem children, their intentions were good."

"Yes, we misunderstood her."

"Never mind, it's all destroyed anyway."

Upon hearing this, the team members unanimously agreed that Huihui had done the right thing, and she received unanimous praise.

After all, her intentions were good. Continuing to criticize her would only dampen Huihui's enthusiasm and be detrimental to the team's development. In the end, she was simply instructed not to recklessly and impulsively unleash explosive magic in the future...

Although she most likely won't listen.

Huihui asked cautiously, "Then, about compensation, can we also..."

"Don't even think about it!"

Kobayashi rubbed her cheeks and said, "To teach you a lesson, this giant Gundam must be compensated! You'd better obediently serve me for the rest of your life!"

Fortunately, they lived in the suburbs. If they had lived in a town, the damage would have been enormous; just thinking about it is terrifying.

So we have to teach her a lesson!

"Well, I see."

Huihui pouted and gave a mumbled reply.

...So, why does she seem a little happy?

Chapter 98 My efforts are worth only three drops of divine power

After a brief commotion.

“By the way, Kobayashi-senpai. You just got back today, how about we go to the guild to celebrate?” Sato Kazuma suddenly suggested.

Aqua cheered, "A celebration? A banquet? Great!"

As a qualified banquet goddess, she will naturally perk up when she hears that there is a celebration.

Xiaolin, however, was somewhat resistant.

It's not that I find it troublesome, it's just that it's unnecessary.

Rather than causing trouble at the guild, he preferred to enjoy the warmth of home with his team.

Darkness said softly, "Go ahead, everyone wants to welcome you."

"Let's celebrate! I want the deluxe kids' meal!" Huihui cheered, raising her hand.

"How is it?" X4

"I think you guys just want to have some fun... Okay, then go ahead."

Seeing the expectation in their eyes, Xiaolin hesitated for a moment before nodding in agreement. The team members meant well, and he didn't want to disappoint them, plus he had no reason to refuse.

With a cheer, the group headed towards the guild.

Walking down the streets of Axel, the pedestrians were all smiles and full of energy, completely different from that world. Even the starting village had more of a lively atmosphere than the capital.

Kobayashi still enjoys being here.

Arrived at the guild.

Pushing open the door, the noisy chatter of the hall, uninterrupted, immediately flooded into Xiaolin's ears, instantly immersing him in the adventurous and exhilarating atmosphere of the adventurers.

Upon seeing the four of them, the adventurers greeted them.

"Yo, Aqua!"

"Aqua, you've arrived."

"It's Aqua! She's here really early."

Greetings poured in, and Aqua responded to each one with a beaming smile, her popularity suggesting that her title as the goddess of the banquet had long been deeply ingrained in people's minds.

She walked briskly to the corner.

Today is an internal gathering, and their team members are not suited to sit in the noisy center, although it will most likely turn into a group gathering in the end.

As soon as I sat down, Luna came over.

Six glasses of juice were served, along with the menu.

"Huh? We haven't ordered yet," Sato Kazuma said curiously. "Did the guild come up with some new sales tactic? A trick of serving juice first, forcing you to order more?"

As a modern person, he immediately understood the so-called marketing tricks.

However, he misunderstood.

Luna smiled and shook her head, saying, "This is a gift from the president to you. She said that Miss Aqua gave them a wonderful performance yesterday, so she wanted to make it up to you."

As soon as she finished speaking, many adventurers started to jeer.

"Aqua, show us another talent!"

"That's right, that's right, give me one!"

"I want something more fancy!"

Upon hearing their request, Aqua naturally wouldn't refuse. In addition, she loved performing arts, so she immediately performed a piece called "Flowers, Birds, Wind, and Moon," which earned her a round of applause.

Kobayashi blinked after seeing this and asked curiously, "Is Aqua that popular?"

He knew Aqua often mingled with adventurers, but she hadn't become as popular as before. Although she was known as the goddess of banquets, her popularity was far less than it had been. Something must have happened while he was away.

A bad feeling crept into my heart.

“Because Aqua put on a spectacular talent show at the guild yesterday,” Kazuma Sato explained.

Darkness also recalled, "That banquet was so lavish that even the performers in the royal palace might not have been as skilled as her."

"It's a pity, I wish Kobayashi were here."

Huihui looked very regretful.

For some reason, the ominous premonition grew stronger, and Kobayashi looked at Aqua with a probing gaze.

"Oh, it's not as exaggerated as everyone says."

Aqua waved her hand, feigning modesty but actually puffing out her chest with pride, and said, "Seeing everyone so happy, I'll lend a hand a little."

"Wasn't he just drunk and impulsively putting on a show?" Huihui's words were somewhat hurtful.

"Not at all!"

Aqua subconsciously retorted, then scratched her head slightly awkwardly and said, "Well, it was indeed a bit of going with the flow... But, it's so strange, I don't know why, yesterday a divine power suddenly surged into my body, and I used it all up in my excitement! Thanks to them, I had such a magnificent performance yesterday."

"puff----"

Upon hearing this, Kobayashi immediately spewed out the juice from his mouth like a Merlion statue. The pale orange liquid transformed into a curtain of water in mid-air, and when the sun shone on it, a rainbow appeared in front of everyone.

Liquid dripped onto his clothes, and Liu Zi took out a handkerchief to wipe it off.

"Oh oh oh oh oh oh!" X4

The four members of the team applauded.

Kazuma Sato asked in surprise, "Is this a new skill that Kobayashi-senpai has learned?"

"It's not as glamorous as mine, but it's still quite magnificent." Aqua patted Kobayashi on the shoulder and invited, "Kobayashi, let's become banquet partners from now on, we'll definitely become famous!"

"No, that's not true! You've completely misunderstood!"

Kobayashi slapped Aqua's hand away and instead placed his hands on Aqua's shoulders, asking urgently, "You said yesterday that a divine power surged into your body, right?"

"That's right."

Aqua nodded.

She recalled, "Divine power has been flowing in intermittently during this period, but yesterday's divine power was the most, and then I used it all up in my excitement."

"all?"

"All."

“…You must be joking.”

"what?"

"What are you talking about?!"

Kobayashi grabbed Aqua's cheeks with both hands and pulled them outwards, furiously rubbing Aqua's smooth, elastic, and fair cheeks.

He had been hoping to improve his attitude towards Aqua, but now it seems impossible!

After going through countless hardships and difficulties to establish the theocracy, even at the risk of offending Eris, the faith that had been painstakingly gathered was so easily wasted, and even used on banquet skills!

Anger flared up instantly.

"It hurts so much! I'm sorry, I was wrong!"

Although Aqua didn't know what she had done wrong, it was always better to admit it first.

The rest of the team were completely baffled by Xiaolin's sudden outburst of anger.

"Um... what's wrong, Kobayashi-senpai?"

"Although I don't know what happened, let's let her go first and talk things out."

"That's right, that's right."

After being persuaded by several people, Kobayashi let go of her hand.

"I'm sorry, I acted impulsively."

He apologized to the rest of the team.

Even if Aqua is wrong, you can't scold her in public. After all, adventurers are a bunch of people who like to watch the fun and make a fool of themselves.

But before that...

“Aqua, show me how much divine power you wasted yesterday with water.”

"Uh... about this much."

With her cheeks flushed red, Aqua pouted and placed three drops of water on the table.

...Just three drops? Are you kidding me?!
