Even if I transform, I will never be captured.

"Talking about breaking up or something..."

Aqua, with an air of magnanimity, clung to Satella's shoulder, gave her a thumbs-up with her other hand, and flashed a bright smile revealing her front teeth.

"Aren't we already partners?"

—A profound silence.

The only sound in the space was the "plop, plop" of frog fluid flowing from Aqua's hand to Satella's shoulder, then down Satella's fair and delicate shoulder and onto the ground.

Amidst such a sound, veins bulged on Satella's forehead.

I'm so angry!

I really want to punch someone!

Forcibly suppressing the urge to hit someone, Satella said with a forced smile, "Sorry, I don't think we're that close."

After saying that, she prepared to turn around and leave immediately, but... she couldn't move!

The force coming from the hand that was pressing down on Satella's shoulder was an unshakeable force!

It was only then that Satella remembered the girl named Aqua, a goddess whose attributes, except for intelligence and luck, were abnormally strong.

But with such strength, why don't you use it to kill monsters! Even without support buffs, you could easily hack a giant frog to death with just a sword!

Satella, expressionless, stared into Aqua's eyes, who wore a smug, idiotic grin...

Suddenly, Satie pulled!

Suddenly she crouched down, and Aqua, caught off guard, leaned forward due to the excessive force. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Satella, like a 100-meter sprinter, pushed off the ground with her bent arch and took off running!

However, she could only take one step before she could run no more.

A water goddess named Aqua was pounced on by a vicious dog that grabbed her leg and lay on the ground howling like a thug.

"Lady Satella! Goddess Satella! I beg you! Please don't abandon me! We're partners, aren't we? How can you bear to leave us to sleep on the streets? If you'll just let me stay in a fine inn, I'll repay your great kindness in my next life! Waaaaaahh ...

"..."

The girl named Satella is a two-faced person who is two-faced.

She's lazy, willful, and boastful when she achieves something... but this true side of her is only revealed in private, in front of friends she trusts.

In front of outsiders, she is always the flawless, elegant, noble, and intellectual half-elf beauty.

However, only this time, amidst the astonished gazes of passersby and Aqua's piercing screams, Satella's MAX-level disguise skills were broken.

"Let go! Let go of me, you idiot goddess!"

Satella angrily kicked her foot.

"What do you mean 'partner'? Don't think I didn't hear you telling Kazuma in private that I'm just a walking wallet! And what about repaying my great kindness in the next life? A goddess like you can't possibly die, right? So there's no such thing as an afterlife, is there? If you're going to repay me, at least show some sincerity! As a newbie, be strong and rely on your own efforts! If there's no inn to sleep in, you can always sleep in the stable, right?"

"I was wrong! I was wrong, Lady Satella! I don't want to! I don't want to sleep in the stable! The stable is full of stinking men, especially Kazuma, a recluse who covets my beauty. If I sleep in the stable with him, my pure goddess body will surely be defiled!"

"Huh? What did you just say, you worthless goddess? Say it again if you dare! I, Sato Kazuma, would never have even the slightest desire for you, even if every woman in the world died, understand?"

"How dare a mere NEET say such a thing? Do you know who I am? I am the Goddess of Water! If you do, then cherish me more, pamper me more, and give me the material life befitting a goddess!"

"If you two want to argue, go outside and argue. Let my legs go!"

"..."

Watching the three of them making a ruckus, Elise, the only one standing aside, widened her eyes, looking left and right with a curious expression, and finally covered her mouth and burst out laughing: "Everyone seems to be having a lot of fun!"

"What's so great about it!" *3

Chapter 63 Satella - Skill Points

In the end, Satella still paid for Aqua and Kazuma Sato to stay in a luxury hotel.

Don't think this is a small expense; in fact, there is only one luxury hotel in the entire city of Axel.

This high-class hotel was practically designed for nobles, as ordinary adventurers simply couldn't afford the exorbitant accommodation fees.

Satella booked three rooms in total: one for her and Iris, and one each for Kazuma Sato and Aqua.

The three rooms were in the same corridor, and at this moment, Satella, who had regained her elegant demeanor, was saying goodbye to the two goofy duo.

"It's impossible for me to team up with you guys."

Her tone was as cold and unyielding as if cutting through ice and snow, but Satella then softened her tone and said:

"It's not because I look down on you. In fact, after spending this time with you, I think you are all very good people and have a lot of potential."

After enduring the pangs of conscience, Satella continued, "However, my sister and I are both girls, so it's really inconvenient for us to be with a boy all the time."

If it were another guy, it wouldn't be out of the question, after all, he's part of the main cast.

But, that person just happened to be Kazuma Sato.

Vulgar, filthy, and truly depraved.

There's only one person Satella would never team up with!

"Although we can't team up, we can still form an alliance. After all, we're all newbies embarking on this adventure together, so let's work hard together from now on!"

After concluding with these eloquent words and saying goodnight to each other, Satella parted ways with the goofy duo.

……

……

"Ooh—ah—"

Satella immediately pounced on the prominent large bed in the bedroom. The soft, fluffy texture made her squint her eyes in comfort, and she rolled around on the bed.

Page 89

"Big sister! Please don't get into bed before you take a shower, or you'll get the bed dirty!"

So Satella, who had been dragged out of bed by Iris, had no choice but to go to the bathroom.

She turned on the water, took off her clothes, and then with a "plop," Satella jumped in.

The warm water flowed down her fair skin, spreading to her chest in one breath, and her delicate, sunken collarbone reflected an alluring curve in the clear water.

A comfortable, warm feeling spread throughout her body, instantly making Satella feel lazy.

Leaning against the wall of the bathtub, Satella began to summarize her day's experiences.

Upon completing her job change, she gained 30 skill points. Previously, she had killed 16 giant frogs and leveled up to level 7, which gave her another 7 skill points. In Konosuba, learning an advanced job skill requires approximately 13 skill points, learning an intermediate skill requires approximately 10 skill points, and learning a basic skill requires approximately 1 skill point.

Of course, these values ​​fluctuate. For example, the [Explosion] spell, which is considered a finishing move among advanced spells, consumes more skill points than the [Cursed Crystal Prison] spell, which is also an advanced spell.

With her initial 30 skill points, Satella learned the following skills.

Curse Crystal Prison: A high-level magic spell with immense power. Even if it cannot kill the target, it can still inflict a freezing effect, making it a skill that combines lethality and crowd control.

One-Handed Sword Mastery: Able to use one-handed swords skillfully, and the power of one-handed swords increases when using them.

Magic Ascension: Increases the power of spell-based attack skills.

Focus: Increases spellcasting speed.

Escape: Movement speed increases when moving in the opposite direction of the enemy.

Enemy Detection: Detects enemies when they appear within a certain range.

Skills cannot be upgraded, but some advanced skills will have unique secondary skills.

For example, Megumin's Burst Magic has a special skill that increases its casting speed and power, and she has put all her skill points into it.

This is something Satella is very satisfied with, because she doesn't need to meditate and practice meditation like the protagonists in those novels where you level up by fighting monsters. She can easily improve her attributes and skills simply by fighting monsters and leveling up.

It's just like playing an RPG game! And with this game-like leveling-up method, even someone as lazy as Satella can still muster the motivation to level up.

Because she leveled up five times, Satella now has a total of 19 skill points. After thinking for a moment, she allocated them to these skills:

Lightning Strike: A mid-level lightning spell. It has a fast casting speed and decent power. Most importantly, the accompanying paralysis effect is very useful.

Stealth: When activated, it blends into the darkness and conceals its presence, preventing the enemy from detecting it.

Brute Force: A support skill that increases the target's strength.

With 7 skill points remaining, Satella decided to save them for later.

"Brute force!"

A faint halo appeared in Satella's hand and then spread to her body. At that moment, she felt full of power!

She grabbed the metal water tap and pulled hard—well, the tap didn't break, but her hand hurt terribly from being squeezed.

With red-rimmed eyes, Satella put her fingers in her mouth and carefully felt them. She realized that her strength had only increased by about 0.5 times.

Although somewhat disappointed, it was only a basic support magic, so such an effect was to be expected.

Furthermore, there are two advanced skills to look forward to later: 'Beast Power' and 'Dragon Power'.

Just then, Elise said from outside, "Big sister, you guys were really funny!"

You call this interesting...

Satella was speechless. To this day, she still vividly remembers the way the hotel waiters looked at her mentally challenged. Just thinking about it made her feel incredibly ashamed!

But thinking back on it carefully, I did laugh out loud when I watched the anime... but when this happened to me, I really couldn't laugh at all.

Turning around, Satella rested her chin on the shore and said listlessly, "Should I call you Iris or Princess Alice instead?"

"..." After a long while, Iris's embarrassed voice came from outside: "Big sister has found out."

"I had some doubts back in the forest, not to mention what happened afterward."

Let's rewind to a few hours earlier.

Having completed her job change and learned the skills, Satella was eager to test them out, so she went to the quest log to accept a commission.

They found a large group of people gathered in one corner of the taskbar, discussing something.

"It is said that Her Highness the Princess has gone missing, and the royal family is searching for her throughout the country, and of course, they have also issued commissions to adventurers' guilds in various places."

"A reward of 1 billion Eris will be given for finding Princess Alice, and a reward of 10 million Eris will be given for providing accurate clues..."
