Chapter 801 Working Goddess 9
I didn't expect Aqua to have such a side. To be honest, Xiaolin really didn't realize that the stupid goddess had become friendly with ordinary people. Could it be that the stupid ones are the popular ones?
"Miss Artist, I'd like to have a glass of sparkling wine here, please!"
"So, let the other waiters help order."
"Ms. Artist, what is your recommended dish today?"
"I don't know anything about that!"
It looks like she will become even busier.
At first, when Kobayashi heard that Aqua was kind and could take care of children, he didn't believe it at all. But as more and more people came to her and wanted to establish a good relationship with her, Kobayashi had to believe it.
Huihui couldn’t help but sigh: “Everyone comes to Aqua to order food, it’s incredible.”
“Really?” Darkness also looked at Aqua, then at the others and said, “The other waiters seem to be chatting, which means they don’t have many customers. But is this really okay? After all, we are in the service industry, and we are just sitting there and doing nothing…”
"It doesn't matter." Xiaolin waved his hand casually and said, "Anyway, Aqua can finish all the work, whether it's this or something else, it doesn't matter."
"Wuwuwu..." Aqua cried aggrievedly, "This is no longer possible for me. There is a lot of unexpected physical work, which is very exhausting. I can't bear it anymore. This is already harder than my previous job."
"There are many things you won't understand unless you experience them." Huihui said this in a surprising and sarcastic way. She would never say this to her companions, but it was very rare for her to do so.
“Wait, Megumin.”
Aqua said indignantly, "Your companions are suffering, how can you be so nonchalant? Can you stop talking as if it has nothing to do with you?"
“Because it’s none of my business.” Huihui said as a matter of course, and then shouted loudly: “Aqua, here’s a glass of freshly squeezed juice, thank you!”
“——It seems like Megumin has become so cold!”
The stupid goddess cried out in grievance.
Huihui looked at her and said, “Aqua, I am angry.”
"angry……?"
“You thought the reward would be less if you split it equally, so you went treasure hunting without telling Darkness and me. This is not something you would do between companions. It’s very annoying.”
"Ah, um...um...actually I..."
Aqua was speechless.
She twisted her hands together like a child who had made a mistake, but finally she lowered her head and apologized decisively.
"……sorry."
“It has already happened, but if you had told me the truth at that time, I would have given you my share.” Darkness spread his hands and said, “In this situation, companions naturally take priority.”
“Me too.” Huihui followed closely and said, “I’m not in that kind of situation yet, so don’t read the air. It’s just the reward for a mission, and it’s not hard to pay even if it’s a lot. You’re making it seem like you don’t trust your friends, and we’re all a little hurt.”
The two complained one after another, and Aqua's head lowered lower and lower, and finally she could only lower her head obediently and apologize again.
"Wow...um...I'm sorry."
It was rare for her to take the initiative to admit her mistakes. Darkness and Huihui seemed to want to forgive her.
But Xiaolin didn't intend to let her go just like that. Instead, he said, "Just treat it as a punishment for not trusting your companions and being dominated by desire. Work hard here and pay back the money."
"I understand..."
"That's all the nonsense..."
Xiao Lin raised his right hand and said, "I want another glass of bubble wine!"
“I want another salad,” Darkness also said.
"I want steak, give me some extra toppings. And bring me some freshly squeezed juice soon!" Huihui added another order.
Seeing her companions like this, Aqua sighed deeply and said, "...I understand."
Then he went to the kitchen to serve the food.
And when Aqua left, Huihui tugged at Krillin's clothes.
"Xiao Lin, Xiao Lin."
"what's up?"
"Back to the topic just now, if you have any interesting commissions, remember to take us with you next time, okay?"
She made such a request.
Darkness followed suit and said, “I’m asking you to help me, too. A maze full of traps sounds exciting—no, it’s worth a challenge! Ha…ha…ha…”
This guy was serious for just one second, and then broke down again. It was really speechless.
"I know."
Xiao Lin also spread his hands helplessly and said, "I was planning to invite you guys, but Aqua said she wanted to go alone, and she didn't listen to me... Well, it seems that Aqua is reflecting on herself now. She will definitely not do that next time."
I guess Aqua will do the same thing next time, but then it will be up to him to solve the problem.
"But, in the end, it's a good thing that we didn't find the treasure."
Darkness actually said such a thing.
“Hey, hey, hey, you don’t think that not finding the treasure would make you happy, do you? Darkness, you are not that kind of person, right?”
“No, I’m not. I just think that working harder like this will be good for Aqua in the future. That’s all.”
"Well, that's it."
Huihui seemed to agree.
That's right, Kobayashi's main purpose this time is to make Aqua self-reliant... No, it should be that she repays the debt she owes with her own efforts instead of asking for help from others. This time there should be no problem -
"Um... Mr. Kobayashi? There's something..."
It doesn't seem to be the case.
Seeing the somewhat embarrassed expression of the counter lady Luna, Kobayashi had a bad feeling in his heart. He always felt that something unexpected was going to happen again.
"Ms. Luna, if you have anything to say, just tell me. I will listen to your advice."
“Well… although it’s a little hard to say, if this continues, Ms. Aqua’s debt will probably increase dramatically again…”
She spoke hesitantly, as if she was afraid of making Xiaolin angry.
But Xiaolin was trying hard to suppress his anger, but he also had a doubt.
"What do you mean?" Looking at the stupid goddess who was busy at the venue, Xiao Lin asked curiously: "That guy, isn't he working hard? How come the debt has increased?"
“Also, I heard that there are more customers than ever before, right?” Darkness asked curiously, “Since there are more customers, it means that business has improved. Aqua should have played a role…”
Huihui didn't say anything, but her eyes revealed that she was not deliberately looking for trouble, which made Miss Luna feel even more embarrassed. She took a step back in fear, and after sorting out her thoughts, she slowly said:
"Yes, that's right. But, since a while ago, some dishes have been broken one after another... including some very expensive plates..."
There was a snap.
As if to confirm Luna's words, the crisp sound of ceramic colliding came from inside the venue, followed by Aqua's apology.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"
Her flustered voice showed that she was really busy and was not causing trouble intentionally.
“Although Aqua is very skillful, maybe she’s just not used to being so busy…” Huihui apologized for her bad attitude just now, and said helplessly: “Please accept my condolences.”
"I've had enough of that useless goddess..."
Xiaolin covered his cheek in pain.
In order to prevent the debt from increasing, he had to pay money to end Aqua's experience of working in the guild, but it was good enough that it could allow her to accumulate a little self-awareness.
a few days later.
In the mansion, Aqua stamped her feet in anger and shouted, "I really can't accept this————!"
"Yeah, is that so?" Xiao Lin agreed with her rather perfunctorily, then looked at the other companions and asked, "By the way, everyone, what are you going to do tomorrow? How about taking on some commissions?"
"Don't ignore me!"
The stupid goddess shouted indignantly.
"What's wrong? I didn't ignore you." Xiao Lin spread his hands helplessly and said.
"You did!" Aqua came up to him, "I told you I couldn't accept it, so you just skipped it! This isn't a game!"
"Yeah, really... I agree with you." Xiao Lin rolled his eyes and said, "If this is a game, I will never talk to an NPC like you, because the tasks you give are definitely complicated, with a lot of work and little reward. If I get stuck, I would rather not play this game."
"That's too much!" Aqua didn't seem to expect Kobayashi to say that. "That's not right. You shouldn't ask here. What's unacceptable, right?!"
"No, I'm not interested."
Xiaolin waved his hand, signaling her not to waste everyone's time and asked her to stay away.
"Mr. Lin..."
As if she was upset by Kobayashi's extremely cold and perfunctory response, Aqua deliberately stretched out her tone and cried, "Please, please listen to me!"
"Really, that's enough."
Xiao Lin really didn't want to listen, because the things this guy caused were most likely troublesome. The more he listened to her, the angrier and more speechless he felt.
"Mr. Kobayashi! Mr. Kobayashi!! Mr. Kobayashi!!!"
“Ahhh! This is really annoying, are you a spoiled child!?”
However, Kobayashi also forgot how annoying Aqua could be.
“Xiao Lin, how about we listen to her first?” Darkness smiled helplessly and said, “Otherwise, this will never end.”
“…Okay.” In the end, Xiaolin could only use the excuse given by Darkness to back down. He asked unhappily, “So, what is it that you can’t accept? Let me make it clear in advance that if it’s not a good thing, I will really be angry.”
After threatening her, he signaled that she could speak, but—
"Of course it's about borrowing money!"
"loan?"
Huihui was a little surprised and asked, “Isn’t Xiaolin temporarily paying for Aqua’s loan?”
"You're not complaining about this, are you?" Kobayashi gave a dangerous look, as if to say, "If you dare to say yes, I'll get angry."
"Of course, I'm grateful for helping me pay it back." Aqua took a step back in fear, but soon said indignantly: "But what is a loan? Why is the loan so much more?!"
"Isn't it natural that you have to pay interest when you borrow money from others? This is the harshness of life."
Kobayashi said this in the tone of a social person.
Darkness looked at the papers that Aqua kept flapping and said in surprise, “Hey, how come the interest rate increases by 10% every ten days? Isn’t this too usurious?”
“Right!?” Aqua stamped her feet and yelled, “That’s too much! It’s too high!”
Indeed, with an interest rate of 10% every ten days, it is estimated that such a debt cannot be repaid in this lifetime. This is really worse than usury.
"But when I agreed to lend you the money, didn't you also agree to accept the loan?"
"At that time, I was only concerned with the present and didn't think about it carefully!"
"Who cares about you? You deserve it, right?!"
Kobayashi would not admit that he was taking advantage of someone's misfortune. Instead, he used this method to tell Aqua that there are very strict rules of survival in this world. If she continued to live like this recklessly, she would suffer.
“But, isn’t this really too high?” Hui Hui also said with some distress: “It seems that she has learned her lesson, can’t we be more flexible?”
She couldn't help but speak well of Aqua.
The little Loli is still too kind.
"Well, let's do this." Xiao Lin was not a devil. He thought for a moment and said, "If you win the game, my debt will be written off."
"You said it, you said it, Xiaolin!" Aqua agreed immediately, "It's too late to withdraw now, okay? Even if you cry and beg me later, I won't forgive you!"
"But if I win, the interest will be 20% every ten days. If you can accept that, then let's compete."
"Well... this is a bit..."
Hearing Kobayashi's conditions, or the punishment for failure, the stupid goddess immediately became timid and looked like she didn't dare to do it. Kobayashi, on the other hand, showed a provocative smile.
"Why, are you going to run away? Yes, yes, after all, Aqua only has this much courage. She's just a boaster."
"——I won't run away!"
Provoked, Aqua yelled angrily, then she puffed out her chest and said, "I'll take this match!"
"Hey, Aqua, calm down for a moment."
"Yeah, yeah, don't be impulsive."
Darkness and Megumin both tried to persuade her.
Aqua got angry and shouted, "Why, do you think I will lose? It's no problem, Xiaolin, I can take care of him in a few moves!"
"Interesting, let's get started."
There was an evil smile on Xiaolin's lips.
