"Get out of the way, I need to rescue the goddess!" Mitsurugi Hibiki shouted. Darkness looked at her with some confusion and turned to Aqua. "Aqua, do you know him?"

"Hmm, I don't know him," Aqua stared at the other person for a long time. Mikage Hibiki had been looking forward to this answer, but then she got this response. Sato Kazuma next to her reminded her, "Hey, you should know him. He called you goddess."

“It’s me, Mitsurugi Hibiki,” the swordsman, looking utterly devastated, pointed to his face so Aqua could see clearly, but Aqua still looked blank. Then he took out his greatsword again, “The one who got the Demon Sword Gram from you!”

Aqua

She was still tilting her head in thought, but seeing the other person's expectant gaze, she pretended to remember, "Ah, right, there seems to be such a person. Sorry, after all, I've brought so many people over, it's normal to forget, haha."

Seeing that Aqua had finally recognized him, Mikami Kyouya breathed a sigh of relief. "Long time no see, Goddess. As the hero you chose, I have been working hard every day. My profession is Sword Master, and I am now level 37. Who dares to tie you up?"

"It's these police officers!" Aqua said indignantly. "I spent a lot of money to buy land and build a temple, and I don't know why they arrested me. I didn't do anything wrong!"

“That’s right, the goddess has done nothing wrong,” Mikami Hibiki nodded repeatedly, then looked at the police officer beside her, “I swear in my name that Lady Aqua has done absolutely nothing wrong.”

“I see. But this gentleman is going to come with us. If we can clarify things, we will apologize.” The policeman hesitated for a moment, but did not give up. Then she pointed to Senju, who was watching the show, “There is another prisoner. Please help me arrest him, Lord Mitsurugi.”

"You're the real culprit, aren't you? How dare you frame the goddess! I'm going to catch you!" said Mikami Hibiki, looking around. "If you have the guts, come out and have a match with me."

“I didn’t do anything wrong. I just helped build a temple,” Thousand Hands said, shrugging. “I didn’t do anything else, and I didn’t even ask for wages.”

"Huh?" Everyone around looked at Aqua, who was whistling. Everyone had a headache. Senju looked at the speechless crowd and said, "Anyway, I'm the innocent one. You can't just arrest people randomly."

“Well,” the policeman hesitated for a moment, then looked at his colleague lying on the ground, “you’re coming with us!”

"Ugh, this is so annoying. Fine, I'll just forget about the bounty," Senju said, taking a step back before disappearing.

"Where is he?" People around shouted as they watched Senju disappear. Aqua cried out for help again, "Kazuma, you have to help me! I don't want to go to jail! You have to get me out!"

Seeing the police officers around looking over, Sato Kazuma quickly shook off Aqua, "You useless goddess, don't drag others into this! Just confess honestly, okay? I'll bring you pork cutlet rice later!"

"I don't want to, Kazuma, you go in for me, I'll bring you food," Aqua shouted, but this made Kazuma's forehead bulge with veins. "Who wants to go to jail for you! Just find out the truth quickly, and there won't be any problems. Stop thinking about the worst-case scenario!"

“Oh, you’re right,” Aqua suddenly had a flash of inspiration. “That’s right, I haven’t done anything wrong, so why should I be afraid of them? Besides, I bought that area, so I can’t break the law no matter what I do!”

"Please rest assured, Goddess, I will definitely help you find out the truth," Mikami Hibiki vowed from the side, then asked, "By the way, Lady Aqua, I haven't asked you why you're here yet."

Sato Kazuma, standing nearby, looked at his fellow countryman and began to explain, "It's like this, like this..."

Chapter 589 The God Has Been Captured

Senju watched the farce with great interest. He had only used illusion magic to hide himself, and he wanted to see more of the show. However, Aqua's performance was a little disappointing. No wonder she was called the "Water" Goddess.

"What?! You actually brought the goddess here like an object? What were you thinking?!" Mitsurugi Hibiki grabbed Sato Kazuma and shouted. Sato Kazuma had an impatient expression on his face. "What's it to you?"

"Release my companion," Darkness grabbed Mikami Hibiki's hand, her tone seemingly furious. "Even if it's our first meeting, there's a limit to rudeness!"

“Yeah, don’t worry about him,” Aqua chimed in from behind. “The most important thing right now is to get me out of here.”

“Don’t worry, I won’t let them take you away,” Mikage Kyouya assured him, but the surrounding police officers began to look at him warily. “Mr. Mikage, don’t make a mistake. Miss Aqua is just coming with us to investigate. She’ll be released once things are cleared up.”

Seeing the tense situation on both sides, Aqua didn't know what to do. She leaned closer to Kazuma Sato and said, "Hey, Kazuma, what should we do in this situation? I don't want to go to jail, but I also don't want him to save me."

“Whatever you want,” Sato Kazuma said speechlessly, glancing at Aqua. Aqua looked around to make sure no one was paying attention to her, then turned around and brought the rope closer to Sato Kazuma. “Hey, Kazuma, cut the rope. Let’s sneak away.”

"No way! Huh?!" Kazuma Sato said irritably, then watched as the rope on Aqua's hands was untied. Senju, standing beside him, nodded, keeping his accomplishment to himself.

"Thanks, Kazuma," Aqua cracked her knuckles and tiptoed towards the door. Just as she reached the door, two girls rushed in. "Hibiki~"

Everyone's eyes immediately turned to Aqua, who had secretly run away. Under everyone's gaze, Aqua was a little embarrassed and said, "Haha, um, I need to go to the toilet."

"Arrest her!" The surrounding police officers rushed forward.

As he climbed up, Yūken Kyouya was grabbed by the two girls who had just run in, and was unable to move for a moment.

The police also noticed the situation, and they ran away with Aqua tied up, leaving behind only shouts, "Help! Kazuma, I don't want to go to jail!"

"As expected of members of the 'Women's Marriage Protection Association,' these police officers are really taking this too seriously," the adventurers around them began to discuss. Mikami Hibiki shouted and chased after them, with the two girls beside her following behind.

Meanwhile, Kazuma Sato, Darkness, and Megumin were huddled together, discussing how to rescue Aqua. Senju, seeing that there was no point in watching, also retreated.

After telling Yuri that she was alright, she felt relieved. However, because Chito was drunk and wouldn't let go of her, Yuri decided to go to bed early. Chito gave her a few more instructions and then ended the call.

When Senju arrived at the restaurant, everyone was still eating. After looking around, Senju found William and told him about Nils.

"Has the teacher gone out again?" Lila asked casually. "But it doesn't matter whether he's here or not. Aier will take good care of the children."

“Hmm,” William nodded, swallowing the food in his mouth. “We’ve recently become familiar with the fighting methods here, and we’ll be going over there in a couple of days.”

“I think it would be better to level up before going,” Senju shook his head, “but if you’ve made up your mind, there’s nothing I can do. Don’t let yourself become cannon fodder.”

“Yes, I understand,” William nodded. “We’re going to form an adventurer party and move there as we level up, and then decide what to do after seeing how things go on both sides.”

"That's good," Thousand Hands looked at them, "but it seems your team is lacking a healer. It would be best to recruit a priest."

“I’ve thought about priests, but the only high priest here is Miss Aqua, and she already has a team. The other priests seem too ordinary,” William said, somewhat troubled. “Anyway, we’ll see when the time comes. Let’s treat the wounds with the potion for now.”

After chatting for a while, everyone finished eating. William and the others returned to the space, and Naveltri came over. "Lord Thousand Hands, I have a few things to ask of you."

Afterwards, Senju learned what he wanted to say and requested that another portal be opened at the Adventurers' Guild in the town to facilitate the adventurers in the town, since passing through the Fairy House every time would affect the children.

“Hmm, that makes sense,” Senju nodded, then helped them build a door. “By the way, how does this place feel?”

“Yes, it’s very similar to the world before, both in terms of adventurers and monsters,” Naveltri said calmly. “However, the biggest difference is the Adventurer Card. With this, everyone’s power will continue to increase.”

“Yeah, that makes sense. Having points means having strength,” Senju sighed. “I’ve also heard of super expensive potions that increase points. I wish I had one.”

After chatting for a while, Senju went to check on Chito and the others. Chito was drunk and singing loudly in front of the TV, and Senju joined in cheering.

The next day, when everyone woke up, Yuri seemed fine, while Chito was a little hungover and was lying on the bed groaning.

After Senju used a healing spell, Chito recovered. "By the way, what happened last night?"

"Well, it's nothing, I just drank too much with my friends. You should be more careful in the future," Senju patted Chito's head, and Yuri added from the side, "Chito's drinking behavior is still so bad. When she's drunk, she's like a completely different person. Last night she bit me for ages and wouldn't let go."

"Huh, is that true?" Chito asked doubtfully. "I only remember eating a very firm piece of grilled meat."

"That's my hand!" Yuri held up her hand, which still had a row of faint teeth marks on it. Chito quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, Yuri, I'll be more careful next time."

"Hmph, I'm going to bite back right now!" Yuri shouted as she pounced on Chito. The two of them laughed and joked on the bed. Senju watched for a while, then said, "Ahem, I'm going to join in too!"

"Help me hold onto Xiaoqian, hahaha, it tickles so much, don't take off her clothes!" The laughter on the bed quickly turned into something else, and the three of them started playing around.

Just as the three of them were getting less and less dressed, there was a knock at the door. "Miss Chito, Miss Yuri, breakfast is ready."

"Food!" Yuri sat up excitedly. Senju looked at the two people she had almost stripped naked and burst into tears. Too many people have their downsides!

Chapter 590 Prison Break Farce

After finishing breakfast in silence, Senju went out and ran into Youyou on the way. However, Youyou seemed to be afraid of Senju. After stammering a few words, she ran away.

Arriving leisurely at Axel, Senju watched as a number of police officers wandered around aimlessly. Speechless for a moment, he used illusion magic to make himself inconspicuous and then went to the guild.

After searching around, they found that Kazuma Sato and the others had come in from outside and were discussing something. Senju went over to listen in.

"What do we do next?" Huihui spoke first, and Darkness chimed in, "I inquired about it last night, and I heard that it was the farmer over there who reported it."

"Huh, why would those farmers report us?" Huihui asked, somewhat puzzled. Darkness said with a grave expression, "I heard..."

The land's magic is starting to return, and its price will increase at least tenfold. Perhaps this is why Aqua is resented by the former farmers, since she bought that land from them.

“I see. They sell problematic land at high prices, and then renege on their promises after the problem is solved. It really is the filthy Middle Ages,” Kazuma Sato pondered. “What else did Darkness find out?”

“Yes, I heard that the lord was also involved in this matter. The charges against Aqua include wantonly destroying the forest, damaging the ley lines around Axel, building a church without permission, impersonating a god, and colluding with the Demon King’s army,” Darkness said. “The first few charges can be dismissed with a fine of 300 million, but the latter two are more serious and require a trial by the Inquisition. The maximum sentence could be death.”

"Damn it, these disgusting nobles!" Kazuma Sato slammed his fist on the table. "This is utter slander! They're just after that fertile land, yet they're asking for 300 million?! Why don't they just rob us?!"

“I think so too,” Darkness nodded in agreement. “However, the first three charges are true, and it will be difficult for Aqua to get away with it. In the end, she will still have to pay a fine.”

“Looks like we can’t keep that land,” Senju couldn’t help but say, startling the three people beside him. “Wow! When did you get here?”

"Ahem, I just got here," Senju coughed lightly. "I roughly know about Aqua. Should I go break her out of prison?"

“That’s one way, anyway we don’t have that much money to pay compensation,” Kazuma Sato nodded seriously. Megumin spoke up, “Then I’ll use explosive magic outside the prison to attract attention.”

“That won’t do,” Darkness hesitated, while Kazuma Sato waved his hand. “In that case, let that idiot be executed. Maybe he can go straight back to the heavens. I’d be happy to have an easy time.”

“That’s not what I meant,” Darkness waved her hands frantically, while Sato Kazuichi slammed his hand on the table. “Then, the plan to rescue the idiot goddess begins. Everything depends on you, Lord Senju!”

“Leave it to me, but we don’t need any bait, we can all go together,” Senju nodded, and Sato Kazuma looked to the side, “Well, haha, we’ll have to rely on you, Senju-sama. We’ll wait here for your good news.”

"That won't do. I've been helping out for free all along," Senju said shamelessly. The three people next to him were speechless. It was all because of his free help that so much trouble had happened!

Huihui looked at Senju, then at Sato Kazuma, and said, "Well, I think this plan will run into big problems. Why don't we think of another way?"

“That makes sense,” Kazuma Sato nodded stiffly. Senju looked at the two of them and threatened, “If you don’t go, I’ll shout in the prison that you did it.”

“I understand,” Sato Kazuma looked at Senju speechlessly. “Anyway, we’ll just be backup, right? We’re not confident we can storm the prison.”

"Don't worry, leave the assault to me," Senju nodded. The three people beside him felt their future was bleak. Then, the group arrived at the police station in the center of town.

“Aqua is being held here,” Darkness said, pointing to the building. It looked like a square prison fortress, not a police station at all, and there were two guards standing at the entrance.

“Then let’s find out Aqua’s location first,” Senju said. The two girls next to him looked at Kazuma Sato and said, “Hey, Kazuma, go in and gather some information.”

"Are you idiots? The guards are so tight, how could I possibly sneak in!" Sato Kazuma shouted from the side, while Senju shook his head beside him, "Don't worry, I have a way."

As he spoke, Thousand Hands summoned many Weeks and sent them rushing into the cell. The three people beside him, seeing Thousand Hands summon a bunch of monsters, all took a few steps back. "So Thousand Hands, you're a summoner."

Ignoring the three's reactions, Thousand Hands threw a bottle of invisibility potion at Weeks, then manipulated Weeks to search. Passing through the wall, Thousand Hands saw the scene inside. For some reason, most of the police officers here were women.

Senju searched everywhere, hoping to find Aqua, but then someone kept touching her. Senju looked up impatiently and said, "What are you doing? I'm looking for her."

"Look over there," Sato Kazuma tugged at Senju's clothes and pointed to the entrance of the police station. Senju looked up and saw Aqua coming out triumphantly, followed by Mitsurugi Hibiki, who looked like a lackey.

"Huh, how did she get out?" A question popped into the minds of the group, and then they emerged from the bushes. "Aqua, are you alright?"

"Of course! Don't you know who I am? I am Aqua, the goddess of water!" Aqua said proudly, and her henchmen shouted, "Of course! Lady Aqua has done nothing wrong. Everyone should worship her even more!"

“Mmm,” Aqua listened happily, but then Mitsurugi Kyouya changed the subject, “However, as the goddess’s servant, you didn’t come to rescue her last night. I really misjudged you, Sato Kazuma. Lady Aqua can’t go with someone like you!”

"Furthermore, I've heard from the police that you specifically target other people..."

"He used his underwear to blackmail a lot of girls, earning him nicknames like 'Scumbag Zhen' and 'Trash Zhen.' The goddess absolutely can't go with you," said Mikami Hibiki indignantly. "Your two teammates were also coerced by you using despicable means, weren't they? As a knight, I can't just stand by and do nothing."

“Well, even though I’ll be sleeping in the stables again after we get out, I’m actually quite happy,” Aqua said cautiously from the side, though Senju felt that this was more like adding fuel to the fire.

Chapter 591 Snatching Team Members

“Goddess, this won’t do. You should live in a better place,” Mikami Hibiki stepped forward and said to Aqua with righteous indignation. “Come with me. I will help you buy all kinds of high-level equipment. This way, the balance of the team will be better. I am a sword master, my companions are a warrior and a thief, your companions are a cross knight and a great mage, plus Lady Aqua, what a perfect team! It’s as if it was destined by heaven.”

Listening to Mikami Hibiki's words, Aqua and the others started discussing, but Senju was a little annoyed. He was being ignored, so she decided to teach him a lesson later.

"I think he's terrible. He keeps talking like that and seems a bit narcissistic. To be honest, I'm a little scared of him."

"What should I do? I clearly like proactive people, but looking at this guy makes me want to punch him."

"May I make a move? I want to give this guy who looks like he's never suffered and is just putting on an act a burst spell."
