Offer blocks to the end times

"Have you finished talking with Wiz? Didn't you make a move against her?" Senju asked. Sato Kazuma nodded. "Of course we didn't. But the Demon King's army is too far away from here, and besides, we're still novice adventurers. There's no need for us to go to the front lines."

“That’s right, Wiz is our family’s sugar daddy, we absolutely can’t let anything happen to her, otherwise my sister will go hungry again,” Huihui said, clenching her fists.

Aqua, on the other hand, didn't seem to care. She was happily drinking two bottles of wine, one fruit wine and the other mead, with one in each arm.

Upon seeing Senju there, Aqua ran over and said, "These drinks are quite good. Senju, do you have any other drinks? I want to buy some."

"No, no," Senju waved her hand at her. She had finally managed to get Chito and the others' attention to the frog, and now this girl was actually coming over to bring up 'sake'.

“Tch, stingy,” Aqua muttered, then raised her hand. “Give me a glass of premium sparkling wine, and bring me the two bottles I ordered as well.”

Kazuma Sato raised his hand and called out, "Give me a cup of Nero Ido's Shua Shua."

“Uh, what a weird name,” Senju complained. Sato Kazuma explained, “This is a drink for people who don’t drink alcohol often. It has a ‘swish’ sensation when you drink it. Why don’t you have a cup and try it?”

Aqua, sipping her expensive sake, kept glancing at Senju, looking determined not to give up. Senju could only shrug. "Divine sake is very expensive. I can make it cheaper. It'll only cost ten million per bottle."

"Ten million! Damn it, I just spent... in the store..."

"You have too much money," Aqua stood there stunned, then approached with a smile, "Um, Senju, you look, well, quite handsome, could you give me a few bottles on credit?"

"No, that's wine brewed by the god of wine," Senju shook her head repeatedly, while Aqua rolled around on the ground, "I don't care, I want to drink!"

“Impossible,” Thousand Hands shook his head speechlessly. At this moment, a staff member ran out from the side, “Urgent mission, urgent mission! The water source in Axel has been severely polluted and may cause a plague. Please find a way to purify it. The reward is one million Eris.”

“The water source has been polluted, this is terrible,” Aqua, who was rolling around nearby, jumped up while everyone was discussing. “Purifying the water source? This is exactly the task that suits me, the goddess of water, to do. Kazuma, take on this task.”

"No problem, right?" Sato Kazuma looked Aqua over and saw that she was full of confidence before going to accept the mission. Meanwhile, Aqua looked at Senju and said, "Um, Senju-sama, could you please come with me over there? I feel like monsters will come out during the purification."

“One million,” Thousand Hands shook his head speechlessly. The real fine was three million plus his own mission fee, which meant that the guild took two or three million.

Just as Senju was feeling annoyed, Yuri and the others returned. Yuri was holding two lively ears of corn in her hand. "Hey, it really is! Fish grow on the ground. This place is really strange!"

"This place is really amazing," Senju said, speechless as he looked at the corn hopping around. He patted Yuri's head to calm her excitement, then looked at Chito and said, "Chito, I'm going to help them. You guys go back after you finish eating. Remember to give the frog to Nigoran, and this recipe too."

“Yes, I understand,” Chito nodded, put the note into the package, and then continued eating with Yuri and the others.

A while later, Sato Kazuma accepted the mission, and then the group went out together. The river in the city seemed to be fine, so it seemed that solving one water source would be enough.

"Ah, Senju came along too?" Sato Kazuma was slightly surprised to see Senju with them. Senju nodded. "Yes, I was a little concerned about this mission, so I came to help."

"Senju is really strong. We don't have to be afraid of monsters anymore," Aqua said happily. Megumin, holding up her staff, added, "Don't worry, Aqua, no monster can stop my Burst."

“I’ll defend up front,” Darkness added. “If necessary, you can blow me up with you; I won’t complain.”

“Is that so?” Sato Kazuma looked at his enthusiastic teammates, but he felt a little discouraged. “I hope there are no monsters.”

"Don't worry," Senju comforted him from the side, after all, he had boiled all the monsters over there into soup and made them into ice sculptures.

After arriving at the lake, the group found the water to be extremely murky and strange, emitting a peculiar smell. Senju noticed that the monsters he had frozen on the shore had disappeared, as had the monsters and fish and shrimp corpses in the water. Could it be the work of the guild? Senju's impression of them improved slightly.

Pinching his nose and making a face, Kazuma Sato asked, "Aqua, how do we purify these?"

“Leave it to me,” Aqua said sullenly, also pinching her nose, “but you have to give me all the mission rewards this time.”

“I have no objection,” Senju said, putting on a gas mask. Sato Kazuma’s eyes lit up. “Senju, you’re too cunning. Give me one too.”

“Hmm,” Senju gave the four of them four gas masks. Aqua, however, was still arguing about the bounty, so Sato Kazuma had no choice but to agree. Then, Aqua lay down by the lake and began casting magic on the water, “Purification, Purification…”

Watching the surrounding lake water gradually become clearer, Kazuma Sato muttered, "That's so convenient. I wonder how long it will take? Five minutes?"

“It will take two hours,” Aqua replied impatiently. The two girls wearing gas masks sat bored to the side, seemingly not going to make an appearance.

"I see, good luck, Aqua," Kazuma Sato cheered. Meanwhile, Aqua, who had purified a patch of clear water, began to swim. "It's so cold. What's going on with this lake?"

As Aqua spoke, she reached out and swung her hand into the lake water. After a while, she looked at Megumin and Senju to the side and said, "So you two are the culprits!"

Chapter 560 Aqua is purifying

"What are you talking about?" Senju and Megumin denied it at the same time, then noticed each other's reaction. "It was Megumin/Senju who did it, it has nothing to do with me."

"Hmph, I can see that," Aqua muttered, standing in the water. "This place used to be a clear lake, until one day, Megumin ran here and unleashed a burst on the lake, polluting it and attracting many monsters. Later, Senju came to experiment with magic, and the culprits were you two!"

The two on the side vehemently denied it, "Haha, how could that be? Aqua must have seen wrong. By the way, let's go wait for you over there. If you keep talking, we won't care if monsters come."

“You can’t do this!” Aqua shouted from below. “At most I won’t say anything.”

"Okay, that's fine. Just remember to save me when there are monsters!"

Several people stood aside waiting for Aqua. She wasn't using magic anymore, but was soaking in the water to slowly purify the lake. This reminded Senju that he seemed to have a similar item. He took out a 'Unicorn Holy Grail' and threw it to Aqua, "Aqua, will this make things faster?"

"What is this? A unicorn's horn? Such powerful purification ability," Aqua recognized it after looking at it for a while, and then shouted to Senju, "It won't be much faster, after all, I am a goddess, and my purification ability is much stronger than this cup."

"I see. Well then, good luck," Senju clapped his hands and created a barrier, placing a long table and several chairs inside, then setting out various snacks. "We'll be waiting for you here."

"Ugh, how cunning! Why am I the only one suffering?! I want to eat too!" Aqua complained in the water, but the people above ignored her demands. "Come on, Aqua! If there's a monster, just shout it out."

The people above chatted while eating snacks. Kazuma Sato showed his palm, "Actually, I learned some magic yesterday. It's very convenient to use. Like this, water is generated."

As he shouted, a jet of water flew into a cup on the side, and then Sato Kazuma picked it up and drank it down. "Pretty convenient, right?"

"Ah, Kazuma, give me some too," Megumin said, holding up her cup. Kazuma did as she asked. Senju, watching from the side, found it amusing and tried it out himself. "Water-generated!"

A meter-thick jet of water shot from Senju's fingertips, then plunged into the lake, splashing Aqua's face. "What are you doing?! Hey, is this a provocation? Is this a provocation? I won't forgive you without some high-class sake."

"I understand," Senju said, feeling a little embarrassed as he looked at the pitiful Aqua below. He took out a bottle of wine and said, "This is wine produced on the floating island. It's very precious. I'm giving it to you as an apology."

“That’s more like it,” Aqua nodded, then took the bottle and started drinking. “Hmm, is this fruit wine? It tastes pretty good. I’ll forgive you since you’ve never had it before.”

“Yes, yes,” Senju nodded from the side, then chatted with Sato Kazuma. When he heard that Senju had taken a lot of photos of other worlds, he took them and looked at them.

"Is this the apocalypse? This is a floating island. I'm so envious," Sato Kazuma said, looking at the photos with great surprise. However, Senju shook his head. "The world over there isn't as wonderful as you imagine. The first two worlds are where humanity is wiped out. The last one is a bit easier, but I got kicked out because I was cheating."

"Ugh, this is really troublesome. How can we survive in another world without some kind of cheat code?" Sato Kazuma complained from the side, but then he asked, "By the way, can the Familia you mentioned significantly improve a person's physical attributes?"

“It should be possible, but it requires a long period of training and fighting powerful monsters to level up,” Thousand Hands thought for a moment and gave an example, “For instance, I know a genius who fought a dragon when he was just over nine years old and leveled up to LV2. By the time he was nineteen, he was already LV6.”

"Are you really pushing yourself to level up this hard? I don't think I have a chance," Kazuma Sato pondered, then looked at the disheveled goddess drinking in the water. "And to become Aqua's follower, I can't accept that!"

"Well, the leveling system here is also very good. You just need to fight monsters, and you don't have to work too hard," Senju comforted her from the side. "And you can easily learn a lot of skills, which is also great."

“That makes sense,” Kazuma Sato nodded. “But, Senju, you said you can travel through the world, so could I ask you for a favor?”

"What is it?" Senju asked curiously. Sato Kazuma clasped his hands together and bowed to Senju. "Please take me back to Japan. I have something important to do."

"That won't do! What will I do if you leave?" Aqua shouted in the water, while Sato Kazuma on the shore shouted even louder, "What do you know, you useless goddess?! This matter concerns my reputation, we absolutely cannot back down."

Listening to the two arguing beside her, Senju opened the Starship System, which displayed six world coordinates. However, three of them were grayed out, and the brightest one was her current location. Senju tried opening the portals to the other two and took a look at the scene there.

Upon opening the first door, Senju saw Eris inside, seemingly conversing with a spirit. Senju quickly closed the door.

Opening the second one, you see a modern city. Looking at the surrounding signs, that should be Japan, but I don't know what world it is.

“Hmm, we can go take a look over there,” Senju nodded, but Aqua immediately exclaimed, “That won’t do! If Kazuma goes back, won’t I be stuck here for the rest of my life?”

"Who cares about you!" Sato Kazuma shouted from there, while Aqua threatened him from the water, "Besides, you're already dead over there. How are you going to explain it if other people see you? Aren't you afraid of being targeted?"

“I’m not afraid at all! I’ve already told my brother!” Kazuma Sato shouted. Megumin and Darkness looked at him. “Kazuma, do you want to go?”

Where is it?

"Do you want to be dissected?" Aqua threatened him. "If you reveal the matter of reincarnation, those doctors definitely won't mind dissecting you. Also, the police will come knocking, asking who the dead one really was. Then, Kazuma, you'll be famous for being scared by tractors..."

"Ahhh! I know, Aqua, stop talking! I won't go back!" Kazuma Sato suddenly shouted, and Aqua stopped, then started threatening Senju.

"Senju, modern society isn't all fun and games. There are police everywhere, you need all sorts of certificates, and you have to work like crazy. If you don't work hard, you'll end up becoming a shut-in NEET like Makoto."

"Well, I think you could live quite well over there," Senju said casually. "But my team members probably wouldn't be able to adapt, so how about I send you over?"

“Let’s forget about it.” Sato Kazuma quickly waved his hand, while Aqua said thoughtfully, “In that case, I can go to the tavern and buy a lot of expensive wine on credit, and then leave here. I’m so smart.”

Chapter 561 Super Monster

"What are you trying to do, you useless goddess?!" Sato Kazuma looked at Aqua speechlessly, then waved his hand at Senju, "Don't listen to her, we don't want to go back."

“Sigh, but send me there,” Aqua was still shouting. “I am the elite goddess who controls Japan, with countless angels under my command. Once I get there, all of Japan will worship me. At that time, hehehehe.”

"Aqua, what kind of daydream are you having?" Kazuma Sato complained from the side. "You won't be able to return to the heavens until you defeat the Demon King."

“Oh right, I had forgotten about it if you hadn’t mentioned it,” Aqua said, as if she had just realized something.

Megumin and Darkness didn't quite understand what the three were saying. What did "another world" mean? What did "Japan" mean? "Hey, what are you guys talking about? Is Japan a place name? I've never heard of it."

"Well, we were just chatting," Kazuma Sato chuckled, without explaining why. "By the way, Aqua, how's the purification going? Is it almost finished?"

“It will take a while,” Aqua replied listlessly, lying on the water. Suddenly she looked at Senju and said, “By the way, Senju, if you can travel between worlds, do you have any interesting things with you, like comics or magazines, to give me something to keep me entertained?”

"How many comics do you have?" Senju handed her a few comics, and Aqua hugged them and started reading. After a while, she laughed so hard that she rolled around in the water, while the comics next to her floated on the surface of the water without getting wet at all.

"Is everything alright?" Kazuma Sato asked, looking at Aqua rolling around in the water with great concern. Darkness added, "As long as it's done safely like this, that's fine."

“Hey, you just set a flag, you’re in trouble now,” Sato Kazuma said, his hair standing there. Senju chimed in, “Don’t worry, I’ve already wiped out all the monsters inside. There’s no way any monsters can appear.”

"Hey, Senju, don't follow the flag!" Sato Kazuma exclaimed in alarm. Senju waved her hand, "How could it be such a coincidence? Everything will be fine."

"Oh no, we're doomed!" Kazuma Sato clutched his head, and huge bubbles began to rise and fall in the lake.

Aqua, who was reading a comic book, seemed to have noticed something and was so frightened that she threw the book around in her hands. "Aaaaa, a monster has appeared! Help me!"

"Whoosh!" A huge block of ice floated up from the bottom of the lake, containing many dead fish, shrimp and monsters. The block of ice seemed to have just melted before it floated to the surface.

"Phew, that's great," Sato Kazuma breathed a sigh of relief, but then he looked at the water's surface. "Hmm, something seems a bit strange over there. I can sense the presence of monsters there when I sense enemies."

"Really?" Senju examined it closely, his expression gradually changing. The huge block of ice was wrapped in a jelly-like substance, and the ice quickly disappeared inside.

Darkness, standing to the side, shouted excitedly, "What an adorable slime! I want to catch it and keep it as a pet!"

"Wow, it's a giant slime!" Megumin exclaimed, pointing to a piece of jelly in the lake. "It must have eaten the creatures in the lake to grow so big."

"Is it that piece of jelly?" Senju also noticed something was wrong; there was an unusual area moving on the surface of the water. "It's just a mere slime, is it really necessary to be so surprised?"

“Yeah, I can handle those slime minions all by myself,” Kazuma Sato shouted from the side, while Darkness and Megumin looked at him with pity.

"Where did you hear this knowledge? A slime this big is practically invincible. Physical attacks have no effect at all, and its magic resistance is also very high. If you get stuck, you're done for. It can squeeze through the gaps in your armor, dissolve you with its digestive juices, and even gag you to suffocate you."

"Is it... that scary?" Sato Kazuma was also intimidated, looking at Senju beside him. "Right, it all depends on you, Senju-sama."

"Wait, leave this to me. Even though it's just a slime, it's still worthy of my Explosion Magic," Megumin said, rubbing her hands together eagerly. Aqua below shouted, "Hey, you guys hurry up and finish it off, or I'll have to run away!"

"The purification process will have to start all over again. Also, Megumin, don't use Burst on me! I'm not Darkness!"

"What a pity," Huihui said reluctantly as she put away her staff. Darkness had already rushed to the lakeside. "Everyone, don't touch it! I'm going to catch it and keep it as a pet."

"Are you out of your mind?" Kazuma Sato shouted, but the slime in the lake seemed to be attracted by Darkness and rushed over. Darkness stood there with her arms outstretched. "Come on, come to me! Climb on me, corrode my clothes with your slime, and make me into all sorts of shameful poses."

"Aaaaaah, Darkness's brain's broken!" Kazuma Sato yelled, then saw a slime tens of meters tall gradually emerging from the water. "No way, is this really a slime? Help!"

Aqua quickly swam away and cheered him on from the water, "Go Kazuma! Go for it, be a hero! I'm right behind you!"
