Chris took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, pulled a cloth bag from behind him, and handed it to Ronan, only then feeling a little relieved.

"This is the reward for the monster that Frilian killed today. I know you may not need it, but please accept it."

"Also, this is a tourist city, and I don't have much money on me."

"I feel bad about using Darkness's products all this time. May I ask if I can stay here temporarily? I can help out; I'm very agile."

At this moment, Chris was nothing like the goddess Eris; she was as humble as an ordinary young girl.

It's likely that Aqua didn't know her identity; she just saw that she knew Frilian and forcibly took her away.

Ronan thought for a few seconds, then directly refused, "Sorry, you should find someone else."

His tone was calm, but his eyes swept towards the furtive figure in the distance.

He took the cloth bag, finished speaking, and closed the door.

boom.

Chris was thoroughly embarrassed.

However, she was not frustrated by this; on the contrary, she felt a little relieved. After all, it was really asking too much of her to spy on others.

However, Aqua behind her was extremely dissatisfied.

Another failure. Does this man have absolutely no weaknesses?

He doesn't even want flat-chested maids who come to his door?

Upon seeing Chris return, she couldn't help but scold him:

"You're so useless! I only let you sleep with me because you were broke. Try to get him, he's so rich..."

Chris lowered his head, thinking that Lady Aqua was still so nagging, and that failing wasn't his fault.

Just as she was wondering when she could leave, Aqua suddenly raised her head and said confidently:

"Well, I can't entirely blame you. That man is indeed the most difficult opponent I've ever encountered. It seems I need to step up my efforts."

"I originally planned for you to seduce him so that Frilian would hate him and leave this world. Now it seems that the opportunity is probably gone."

"But it doesn't matter, this is my territory!"

Aqua suddenly became smug and puffed out her chest.

"When I wake up tomorrow morning, I'll make sure all the vegetables and fruits are ridiculously expensive. I want to see how long they can hold out!"

"Oh, and I also want to make sure their toilets are clogged and they don't have hot water when they take a shower..."

She became more and more excited as she spoke, as if she could already see their awkward situation, and couldn't help but clench her fists.

"Hmph, daring to oppose me, the Goddess of Water, these two brats, prepare to receive divine retribution!"

"..."

Chris was speechless and couldn't help but shake his head and rub his forehead.

What kind of despicable goddess is this? She possesses the divine power to control water, but she only uses it for these kinds of things?

Furthermore, Lady Aqua seems to have forgotten something: it's hard to say whether the gods of another world need to eat or use the toilet.

She timidly raised her hand and asked cautiously, "Aren't you afraid of their retaliation, senior?"

Aqua crossed her arms and answered with an air of self-righteousness:

"Revenge? What nonsense are you spouting? I'm a goddess! You're just two out-of-town deities... Wait, what did you just call me, senior?"

She suddenly widened her eyes and moved closer to Chris's face.

Oops, I accidentally let it slip!

Chris quickly opened her mouth to try and salvage the situation, but Aqua gave her a knowing look, a smirk playing on her lips, and patted her shoulder.

"Not bad, as expected of the followers of Eris! They accepted the fact that Eris is a junior of the water goddess Aqua so quickly."

“I have high hopes for you. Let’s go! If you have nowhere to go, stay at the Axis Order tonight.”

She warmly put her arm around Chris's shoulder, lowering her voice mysteriously.

"I have a little secret to share with you, about Eris's breasts being padded..."

As soon as she turned around, Aqua felt as if something had hit her head hard, and she stumbled and almost fell.

Ronan appeared behind her:

"Hey, you damn goddess, what were you saying just now? Grocery prices will definitely go up, that's so vicious coming from your mouth."

This was the only thing he simply couldn't pretend he hadn't heard.

Because Frilian needs to interact with people in order to grow.

How could he possibly feel at ease facing a group of grumpy guys every day?

Leave? Wouldn't that be a sign of weakness?

Aqua, enraged, clutched her head and yelled, "You brat, how dare you hit me...!"

"Don't put it so harshly, I was just giving you a little lesson. Why can't you be as mature and composed as Eris?"

Ronan crossed his arms and laid his cards on the table.

"Chris, ignore her and come inside with me. Let this guy suffer outside."

"..."

Chris was caught in the middle and felt extremely awkward, his hands nervously clasped together.

Although I was pleased to be praised for my composure, it was in front of Aqua-senpai, which was really a bit...

As expected, Aqua was furious, her face turning bright red.

"Aaaaaah...!"

Unfortunately, she didn't get to see what happened next, because the two of them went into the house.

……

On the second floor, Ronan pushed open a door and said calmly to Chris:

"You can stay here tonight. I don't need your help. Just don't let her affect you."

“You are Frilian’s friend, and I don’t want your friendship to be ruined by Aqua.”

Chris lowered his head helplessly and let out a sigh:

“I understand, but I hope you won’t be so hostile towards Lady Aqua.”

"She's just having a quirky way of thinking; she doesn't mean any harm."

Ronan was certainly aware of this, but no matter what, this kind of troublesome personality was hard to like.

Seeing that Ronan remained silent, Chris was at a loss and could only pin his hopes on the future to see if he could ease the tension a little.

Ronan came downstairs: "Dinner is in half an hour. If you're hungry, come down and eat."

After he finished speaking, his figure disappeared on the second floor. Chris went into the room, lay on the bed, looked up at the ceiling, and sighed that it had been a truly exhausting day.

Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye.

Someone knocked on the door while we were eating.

Aqua is gone; only the silent night remains outside the window.

Open the door. Yes, it's Darkness.

……

Is the water temperature alright?

After finishing her meal, as usual, Frilian drank a cup of water imbued with divine power and then prepared to take a bath, while also observing her body's development.

Just as I lay down in the bathtub, feeling the comfortable water temperature, Ronan's voice came from outside the bathroom door:

"If that guy really dares to lay a hand on her, she can't blame me if her cult is flooded tomorrow."

That's a bit extreme. Although I can understand, Frillie still spoke softly, the words echoing in the bathroom, muffled and strained:

"...That's perfect, but more importantly, what's the situation with Chris and Darkness? Are they sure they want to stay here?"

"I'm just staying here temporarily, so I don't get used as a tool by that goddess."

Ronan leaned against the wall outside the door, his arms crossed.

"I will bring Celie and the others over in a while, and that will be the time for them to leave."

Frillie nodded. At this moment, her chest felt a little swollen, though not very noticeable, but it was clear that she had developed a bit more.

She didn't want to be treated like a child by Celia forever.

After exhaling, Frillie dived into the water.

After a while, she sensed that Ronan had left, and then she got up and left the bath.

Back in her room, just as Frillie was about to go to bed, she suddenly sensed something.

She flung open the wardrobe door.

With a "whoosh," Darkness appeared, curled up in the closet, looking at her shyly.

"...Hello, is Mr. Ronan not here?"

"Come out," Frilian said expressionlessly.

“…Yes.” Darkness climbed out of the wardrobe dejectedly, her movements clumsy.

Oh no! We were discovered! Why don't these two live in the same room?

She was prepared to be caught by the two men and enjoy their disdainful looks.

No, it's only exciting when both of us grab me at the same time...

With that thought in mind, she was thrown out of the room.
