I love time travel the most!

The playful fighting ended there.

"I wonder what brings you here today, Kobayashi?"

Wiz skillfully took on the role of store manager.

Although the shop was operating at a loss every month thanks to her efforts, her work ethic was still trustworthy; otherwise, people wouldn't have specifically sought her out.

"I want to buy some skill point potions."

Kobayashi got straight to the point.

They've collaborated many times, and he's likely their only loyal customer; Wiz would never cheat him when it comes to selling products.

If Xiaolin gets upset, she might do anything to try and keep him from leaving.

"Skill point potions..."

Wiz tilted his head.

Skill point potions are relatively popular items and are well-received among adventurers, but their slightly expensive price makes them unpopular among novice adventurers.

Wiz overlooked this point, which is why the potion sat unused for so long.

"I wonder how many bottles Xiaolin needs? I have 20 bottles here..."

"I want them all."

"……What?"

"I want all of your inventory."

"Really?!"

Wiz was momentarily stunned by the generous offer, but then cheered. Twenty skill point potions were a considerable sum, bringing her one step closer to breaking even this month. How could she not be happy?

And even more so than that.

"Oh my, this piece of jewelry looks really nice. I can feel a strange kind of magic in it..."

Aqua stood in front of a magical item and began to comment on it.

Upon hearing this, Wiz immediately perked up and quickly stepped forward, excitedly recommending, "As expected of Lady Aqua, you have excellent taste! This magical item is truly amazing! It's a magical item that can 100% activate the latent power dormant within the body!"

"Isn't this an amazing magical tool?!"

Aqua excitedly picked it up and said, "What would happen if we used this on a goddess like me, who is nothing short of an integration of potential abilities?"

"If it's okay, would you like to give it a try?"

Wiz was very enthusiastic about promoting the product.

Kobayashi immediately stopped her, saying, "No, this is..."

"Is that okay? Then let's hurry—"

Aqua answered first, then promptly put the jewelry on her body.

Then a blinding light flashed.

Aqua's image underwent a significant change; her goddess attire was replaced by a deep blue lace-trimmed dress, transforming her from a goddess of wisdom into a Valkyrie.

Her style has changed drastically, and she looks very fresh.

"Huh? The clothes have changed?"

Aqua was slightly flustered.

Wiz reassured him, "It's alright! Your appearance will change after you put it on, which is a manifestation of your power being maximized, but..."

"The power of the goddess has truly been fully unleashed?! Great! Go tell Kazuma and the others!"

Aqua was incredibly excited when she heard this, and she turned around, wanting to run out and show off to her team members.

But Kobayashi caught him quickly and stopped him.

"Xiao Lin?"

“Wait, Aqua, Wiz obviously has something else to say.”

No matter how pleasant or exciting the preceding words are, as long as there is a transition word, the key point is always at the end.

This is the art of language.

and……

This is from Wiz's Magic Item Shop, it would be strange if it didn't have some weird side effects!

"Wiz, please tell me about the side effects."

"That, that..."

Wiz clasped his hands together and said hesitantly, "The drawback of this forbidden magical artifact is... is... while unleashing its full potential, the user is completely unable to do what they most desire. In other words, whatever they do will turn out the opposite."

"……Eh?"

"In other words, if Lady Aqua wants to drink bubble wine, she will only taste water instead of bubble wine."

"Liar."

Upon hearing Wiz's words, Aqua's expression immediately changed.

Making her do hard labor without pocket money is fine; but not being able to drink bubble wine is unacceptable.

Upon hearing Wiz's answer, Kobayashi's eyes lit up.

This magical item might not be suitable for Aqua, but it's perfect for him. He'd be happy to pay for it as long as it keeps Aqua from drinking.

"Okay, I bought it!"

"Why?! Why ...

Aqua's tearful cries followed.

Chapter 120 The Goddess Who Was Named

In this world, there is a group of people known as adventurers who fight day and night against monsters that threaten people, living a life of living for the moment.

Therefore, it's absolutely impossible to get wealthy adventurers to work hard.

However, there is one exception!

This kind of thing is seen as proof of acceptance, so they generally don't refuse.

—Entrustment.

"I've been chosen!"

In the grand hall of the mansion, Aqua loudly boasted to everyone.

"……Eh?"

Upon hearing her words, the entire team was stunned.

"Designation?"

"Could it be what we're thinking?"

"No, no, no, she's Aqua, how could she possibly assign a mission by her own name?"

Several people denied it one after another; after all, they instinctively didn't want to believe such a thing.

This distrust deeply hurt Aqua's pride, and the silly goddess protested tearfully, "Why? Why don't you believe me?! I really was entrusted with this task! I didn't lie to you!"

"But even if you say so..."

"Right?" X3

The team members still didn't believe it.

Aqua tossed her long, light blue hair and said haughtily and smugly, "It must be because I shone brightly in the missions of defeating the Headless Horseman and exorcising evil spirits that someone specifically named me. Unlike that idiot Kazuma, someone can recognize my abilities! I'll definitely be renowned throughout Axel in the future and be admired by everyone! So, if you know that, hurry up and serve me the tonkatsu tonight!"

"I won't give it to you! Besides, it's just accepting a specific request, what's there to be proud of!"

Kazuma Sato will not indulge her.

That's how silly goddesses are; they can easily become arrogant and conceited, then inadvertently do something wrong and get into big trouble, ultimately leaving others to clean up their messes.

They're tired of it happening every time.

However, Aqua remained unaffected. Instead, she covered her mouth and let out a series of snickers, saying, "Is Kazuma jealous? I'm more famous than you, and I named someone before you did..."

"What...what did you say? I don't understand."

"Stop hiding it, you're just jealous!"

"Not at all!"

...That's impossible.

To be honest, he was very jealous.

Not to mention Kazuma Sato, even Kobayashi felt a pang of jealousy.

It's worth noting that he has a very good reputation in Axel; almost all adventurers speak highly of him, considering him the most suitable companion.

Even so, he never accepted a nomination.

Is it because I'm just a low-level adventurer that they're not looking for me? Hey, hey, hey, I'm the one who slew the Headless Horseman! With that kind of strength, shouldn't others look up to me a little?

Oh, Aqua who purified the Headless Rider, then it's alright.

"Cough cough."

Kobayashi coughed lightly to attract everyone's attention before saying, "Sato-kun, you don't need to be jealous."

Kazuma Sato asked疑惑地, "Senior Kobayashi, you mean..."

"Sato-kun, what do you think is the most memorable aspect of Aqua?"

"When you do something silly."

He was absolutely right, and I couldn't refute him.

But that's not the point!

"...That aspect is also relevant, but we're talking about outstanding abilities right now."
