I love time travel the most!

and!

"Regarding that person's appearance."

The priest who came to report said in a trembling voice, deeply moved: "She has light blue hair and light blue eyes, wears a feathered robe, and is a beautiful woman with delicate features."

Can’t be wrong!

It's definitely that goddess!

Jesta felt like he was going crazy with joy!

"What should we do? The believers in this town..."

"Of course we need to let everyone know, but we must do it secretly. Perhaps that person will come to this town again. In order to ensure that person will come again, we must carefully instruct them not to talk to that person casually. Also, what has become of the purified source now?"

"Yes, the hot springs are gone..."

The priest spoke words that were heartbreaking, but quickly added, "However, I've heard that some people's wounds healed after soaking in it, and that sprinkling it on the undead can have the effects of holy water, and it's a very potent kind of holy water. Frankly, the profits from selling this kind of holy water are far greater than those from running a hot spring."

After all, it was water that the goddess had purified with all her might, so it's only natural that it would have such effects.

Jesta tapped his fingers on the table.

"...By the way, it seems we made that person pay a hefty compensation?"

"Yes. What should we do? Let's pretend we didn't discover that person's true identity. That way, he'll feel more at ease coming back to this town."

"How about we do it this way? We send members of the Order to Axel and return the compensation to that man through various means."

"Alright, let's do it that way."

The priest's suggestion was immediately adopted.

They had already received immense favors from the goddess; if they were to shamelessly demand exorbitant compensation, they would truly have no face to face the goddess in the celestial realm!

"Logically speaking, we should thank that being for saving this town and offer our deepest apologies for the improper demands for compensation... Oh well, let's wait until that person comes to this town again someday."

“Then I will proceed accordingly, Lord Jesta.”

"Okay, please."

Upon hearing this, the priest bowed and left the office.

Just as Jesta was looking at the report and feeling deeply grateful, someone knocked on the door again.

"Lord Jesta, someone just asked me to deliver a letter to you. The messenger said it's from the Dustini family, they want to discuss a collaboration with you."

"Oh? Bring it in quickly."

It's the renowned "Kingdom Blade"! What kind of cooperation do such high-ranking nobles want to discuss?

Has luck been getting better and better since the goddess descended upon us?

Open the letter sent by your subordinate.

After reading it, Jesta calmed his racing heart and slowly spoke:

"—Now we have no choice but to go to Axel."

Chapter 416 The first child they wanted Darkness to give birth to.

"I'll be there!"

"Can't you even tell me I'm back properly?"

Opening the door, Aqua walked into the mansion she had left long ago, beaming with pride, having long forgotten the grievances she had suffered in Alcanredia.

That's just her personality; everyone's used to it.

In the end, what was this trip all about?

Kazuma Sato looked extremely melancholy.

Just like before, I got caught up in a bunch of bad things, and just thinking about it makes me feel depressed.

However, at least we got to soak in a hot spring, and it was even a mixed-gender bathing area.

...That's strange, does that count as mixed bathing?

I should say that I only took a bath with that older sister named Warbak. Besides, that older sister wrapped herself up very tightly with a towel, so you couldn't see anything at all.

And then there was the mixed bathing afterwards.

Only after being resurrected did I learn that these guys had gone to take a shower while I was lying dead...

What's going on?

It seems like it's more enjoyable when you're not traveling, huh?

Maybe I shouldn't travel anymore.

"What's wrong, Kazuma? Your face, which was already funny, has become even funnier."

"I'm imitating your face. How is it? Pretty good, right?"

"What did you say?!"

"Are you trying to pick a fight, you idiot Aqua!"

Kazuma Sato, who had nowhere to vent his anger, was easily ignited by Aqua's touch.

The two of them started fighting back and forth.

This trip did not strengthen their bond or strengthen their relationship; instead, it made them dislike each other even more.

Darkness sighed, "Honestly, we've only just gotten back, can't you guys get some rest? I'll make some black tea, you guys calm down."

With that, she removed her armor and headed towards the kitchen.

"Lord Darkness, let me help you."

"Thank you, Liu Zi."

With the maid's help, the noble lady smiled gratefully.

The two left together.

Kobayashi went to the living room and was about to lie down on the sofa facing the fireplace to rest when the little girl, taking advantage of her petite size and quick speed, took over the sofa first.

"Phew, staying here is the most relaxing. Although I'm the one who's going on a trip."

Huihui stretched.

Her stunted growth makes one wonder why she hasn't developed despite being fed so much nutritious food. Where did all that food go?

"Kobayashi, are you thinking about something strange?"

"It's just your illusion."

Knowing full well that he could never admit it, Kobayashi finally resorted to mental victory tactics, ceasing to argue with the little girl, otherwise the next second would be an explosive magic attack hitting his face.

"Wait, Megumin!"

Aqua, who was just arguing with Kazuma Sato, rushed over as soon as she saw Megumin lying on the sofa.

"This is my sacred, special seat."

"If you want this position, then win it back with this game."

Huihui took out her favorite board games and started playing with Aqua.

She probably just wanted to have fun.

Kazuma Sato met Kobayashi's gaze, and the two exchanged a helpless smile.

My seat was taken, so I had to sit in a corner of the sofa.

With nothing else to do, Kobayashi watched the two compete to see who would win. Soon after, Darkness and Ryuzu also brewed some black tea and brought it over.

With her maid-like skills, Ryuu was adept at serving others, but she never expected that this usually clumsy and eccentric female knight would actually be able to brew red tea.

Speaking of which, her cooking is also very delicious, which is quite different from the stereotypical image of a young lady.

"Huihui, your Archmage is such a nuisance. How about I give you this useless Crusader in exchange for a chess piece?"

"No. From my strategic point of view, the Crusader is useless. Hurry up, it's your turn, Aqua."

"Hey... well, how should I put it, I know you're talking about that game, but..."

In the battle between Megumin and Aqua, the only one who got hurt was Darkness, the Crusader whom nobody wanted, who was heartbroken.

Sipping black tea is incredibly pleasant.

Perhaps it was because I had just returned from a trip, but the relaxed atmosphere was invigorating, making me marvel at how peaceful the world truly is.

However, something is bound to happen at times like this.

Kazuma Sato, who had already learned it, was very confident.

look around.

"By the way, where did Youyou go?"

"She went to see Wiz off. After all, on the way back, some idiot kept crying, making Wiz practically invisible."

"Yeah."

Hearing Xiaolin's words, he nodded knowingly.

If we're talking about who was the most unlucky on this trip, without a doubt it was the timid lich girl.

Not only did she cry herself to the point of becoming transparent after being spurred on by the idiot goddess, almost having to meet her former colleagues, but she also went all out to deal with her current colleagues, and was almost summoned by the Lord after being purified by Aqua, who was also going all out.

Upon returning, he took the initiative to comfort the heartbroken Aqua, which almost led to his own death on the spot.

Seriously, it's just too tragic.

……

"No, no! Megumin! Mr. Kobayashi, Mr. Kazuma!"

The crowd, who were marveling at world peace, were interrupted by Youyou's anxious shouts.

"W-What's wrong? Has something troublesome happened again?" Kazuma Sato jumped up from the sofa, then quickly said nonchalantly, "Whatever, I'm not afraid of any of them, whether they're Demon King's army officers or anyone else."

Despite saying that, his uncontrollable trembling legs completely betrayed him.
