Chapter 796 Working Goddess 4

Chapter 798 Working Goddess 6

Luna, the guild counter lady, said that it was a very good request, so it was definitely good. Xiaolin believed in her judgment and good intentions, but the key point was -

"The goal is to make a fortune!" Aqua said excitedly, "Let's pay off the debt owed to the tavern in one go! Okay, stop talking nonsense and get on with it!"

I'm just afraid that you'll hold me back, stupid goddess!

"I know, I know."

But Xiaolin couldn't stand the stupid goddess urging him. Since the guild staff said so, there must be no problem. Well, I believe there is no problem. Just treat it as being cheated. It's not impossible to give it a try.

"Then I'll take care of it." Luna smiled happily when she saw Xiaolin accept the commission. She took out the parchment she had prepared long ago from under the counter, handed it over and said, "Please take it. This is the commission details."

Kobayashi took over the commission.

At this time, Aqua asked curiously: "Wait a minute, I want to know, do other adventurers know about this?"

She wanted to ask if there were any competitors. After all, the reward was so generous. If many adventurers took up the task, they would not have the confidence that they could complete it before others.

"No. You two are the first to know."

Got some good news from Luna.

"That means we have no rivals, right?" Aqua said seriously, "Yeah, now I feel it, the prize money is already in my hands!"

“What the hell are you talking about?” Xiaolin complained slightly, feeling helpless about her idiocy. He said, “Then I’ll go call Huihui and Darkness.”

"Wait a mininute!"

"What do you want to do again?"

Being stopped by the stupid goddess, Kobayashi always felt that she was going to cause trouble and had an impatient expression.

Aqua said with a flattering smile, "How about just the two of us going for this commission?"

"Ah? What are you talking about? How can two people complete the commission?" Xiao Lin spread his hands and said, "And if it's just you..."

"That's fine. The two of us are enough for this. There's no need to trouble them."

"I just don't want my share to be reduced."

Xiao Lin saw through what this guy was thinking at a glance. In other words, she might as well stop calling her the Goddess of Water and call her the Goddess of Greed instead. She really couldn't stand her.

"That's not the case."

Aqua's eyes darted around.

Xiao Lin rolled his eyes and said, "Now, look into my eyes and say it again."

“Okay, okay, let’s go!” Aqua turned and walked towards the guild gate, saying as she walked: “If you’re slow, I’ll leave you behind!”

"Really, if only she could be this motivated when she's working..."

Xiaolin sighed helplessly.

"Well..."

Miss Luna could only look at him with an embarrassed expression.

But there shouldn't be any problem with this mission. After all, Krillin is here, and Aqua can be asked to help in special situations. The two of them can be said to be the best combination. Don't think too much about it. Just do the mission, get the bounty, pay back the money, and return to your daily life.

The two then left town.

Aqua was humming and jumping along the way, and she was in a very good mood. She even said, "Haha, I didn't expect such a good thing to happen. It must be because I do more good deeds on a daily basis."

"What good deeds have you done? If you keep talking nonsense you might be punished by God." Xiao Lin rolled his eyes in annoyance.

"How could a goddess be punished by God? Are you stupid? Are you stupid?"

"As the saying goes, the one who calls others stupid is the one who is stupid."

"I didn't say you were stupid. I was just confirming whether you were stupid or not."

"...Forget it. If we continue this conversation, we'll be acting like idiots."

“…Yeah, forget it.”

I really don't want to waste my breath with the stupid goddess. Having a quarrel like a child is not something a mature man like Kobayashi should do. And Aqua seemed to realize that as a goddess, she shouldn't argue with others like this, and the two stopped arguing.

"Speaking of which, there actually is such a commission." Xiao Lin waved the parchment and said with some emotion: "Treasure hunting is a very romantic thing no matter what era it is."

"I want treasure more than romance."

"Ah, really?"

Aqua is indeed a stupid goddess. She destroyed all the romance as soon as she opened her mouth. To be honest, she is the most incompetent goddess.

"——Oh? Is that the cave we're heading to?"

After the two walked for a long time, Kobayashi compared the map on the parchment given by Luna and found that it should be their destination.

However, Aqua suddenly looked at the cave with a look of despair, and her legs began to tremble.

"What's wrong, Aqua?"

"The cave is scary, and I'm about to be left behind again..."

"Ah, there was such a thing, I had forgotten about it."

When the stupid goddess went to the dungeon with Sato Kazuma before, they were left behind by that guy. Since then, Aqua has been traumatized and is very resistant to missions like entering dungeons.

“You, don’t forget the things that have left a shadow on others so easily!” Aqua said weakly with sweat dripping down her back, “Whenever I see the cave, I tremble with fear all over my body!”

"But it has nothing to do with me, it's not my fault." Xiao Lin felt very aggrieved, it wasn't his fault, and said angrily: "Then I can only give up this commission."

Kobayashi provoked Aqua, but he didn't expect Aqua to say this shamelessly.

"This place is not as good as that. Xiaolin, you go explore it by yourself..."

"I don't mind, but if we find any treasure, there won't be a share for you."

“Mmm…Mmm…”

Hearing what Kobayashi said, Aqua was immediately conflicted. She clenched her fists, not knowing what to do. She stood stiffly in place, neither moving forward nor backward.

"So what should we do?" Xiao Lin continued to stimulate her, "Go back? Don't go back? Make a decision quickly."

"I, I'll go, okay? But, but, you are not allowed to escape by yourself by stealth!" Aqua said this very seriously, and even looked like she wanted Kobayashi to swear.

"……I see."

"Were you hesitant just now?"

"Okay, let's go in quickly."

Kobayashi couldn't understand what this guy was afraid of. How could there be any danger with him around? Besides, wasn't it Sato Kazuma who abandoned Aqua? Why would he be afraid of him... No, since he wanted her to reform, shouldn't he also trick her?

Looking at the stupid goddess who was trembling while holding his hand, Kobayashi grinned wickedly. He planned that if he really got the chance later, he would do this to make the stupid goddess reflect on herself!

The two walked into the cave one after the other. Kobayashi held Aqua's hand the whole time. This guy was afraid that he would let go of her, so he held Kobayashi's fingers together, just like a lover.

Kobayashi did not shake her off, but led the way in front, while observing the surroundings with his omnipotent ability of the five visions.

"Xiao Lin, how is it, are there any monsters?"

"...No. There is no smell around, and no monsters. It is very quiet."

He didn't find anything strange, no matter his eyes, breath or senses, he didn't find any monsters. Maybe this is just an ordinary cave.

But Aqua was very scared. She shrank timidly behind Xiaolin and said in a low voice anxiously: "...Xiaolin, don't you think it's too quiet here? I always have a bad feeling. Maybe there is a greater danger waiting for us ahead."

"So, please don't set that kind of flag anymore, okay?" Kobayashi rolled his eyes. He has said it many times, but Aqua never knows how to repent. She does this every time, putting them in dangerous situations.

"I said, I wanted to say this before." Aqua was also a little unhappy. She complained, "Xiaolin, are you taking it too seriously? How could there be flags in reality? Those are things that appear in anime and novels. They don't exist in reality at all."

"But, in fact, every time you say a flag, you will take it back immediately afterwards."

"...What!? Could it be that the goddess still has the ability to set flags?"

After hearing what Kobayashi said, Aqua looked at her hands with an expression as if she was hiding some great power in her body, which really made people feel that she was an idiot and speechless.

"Oh?" Xiao Lin said jokingly, "So, it's going to be dangerous to be with you, right? Okay, let's lurk——"

"I was just kidding! So, please don't lurk! Don't leave me alone!"

"Wait, wait, don't come close to me! Breathe, breathe!"

He just wanted to play a trick on Aqua, but he didn't expect that this guy's psychological trauma was too great. He suddenly pounced on her and pressed Kobayashi's head on her chest, making it difficult for Kobayashi to breathe.

After playing around for a while, Aqua finally calmed down, and the two continued to walk deeper into the cave.

It was pitch dark here, but fortunately, Xiaolin and Aqua both had night vision, so they didn't need to turn on the light source to become targets for the beasts in the dark. However, there was still one thing that was of concern.

"This cave is much bigger than I imagined." Xiao Lin looked at the intricate passages and the several caves behind him and sighed: "What's more, the road is so complicated, it feels like there are treasures."

Roughly speaking, I’ve been here for about two hours.

Although Aqua slowed down their pace along the way, causing their exploration to slow down a lot, they had already searched most of the dungeons long ago, but now it felt like they hadn't even walked half the way.

But this is also very good, which means that there is a high probability that there are treasures buried here. It seems that the information provided by Luna, the lady at the guild counter, is correct.

"Haha, the expectations are even higher!"

Aqua also returned to her usual cheerfulness, and seemed to have smelled the scent of treasure as well, and even became more excited than before.

"But don't get too excited." Xiao Lin spread his hands and said, "To be honest, I don't think there is any decent treasure."

"Eh? Why?"

"Think about it carefully. If there really is a huge treasure hidden here, the client will definitely come to look for it with more enthusiasm. At that time, more people will gather and hire more high-level adventurers. However, no one comes now..."

Not only that, treasures are usually buried in dungeons. There is a high probability that there won’t be any good things in caves like this.

"That's true." Aqua also felt that this was the case, but she said unwillingly: "But maybe they wanted to find it secretly. Hiring people would cost a lot of money, wouldn't it?"

No, the problem is that the person who posted the commission could have used some small amount of money to fish for those who had wild ideas to investigate, but he didn't do that at all...

"Aqua, I just had a bad idea."

"Eh? What is that?"

"If we find the treasure, will they keep it secret? That's why they deliberately let only a few people explore this place?"

“Ah!? No, no way… I shouldn’t… I shouldn’t do that…”

Hearing what Kobayashi said, Aqua suddenly became frightened and panicked.

"..."

"Why don't you speak?"

Aqua was even more frightened by Kobayashi's silence. However, perhaps because the cave was too dark, she did not see Kobayashi's smirk.

"Don't worry, I thought about it, but it's impossible. This is the guild's official commission. There are records of us accepting the commission, so it's impossible to completely keep it secret."

And even if we take a step back, even if he really wanted to kill someone to silence them, then Kobayashi would really want it, because he could then kill the other person to silence them and then take away all the treasure.

"Ah, yes, that's what I meant." Aqua finally figured it out. She patted her chest in relief and complained to Xiaolin, "Really? Don't say weird things to scare me."

"You were joking with me just now, right? Now we're even."

"Really? Hurry up and move on!"

The stupid goddess, no longer having any worries, actually broke free from Kobayashi's hand and ran deep into the cave alone, trying to find the treasure.

"Hey!" Xiao Lin hurriedly called out to her, "Don't go forward so defenselessly, there might be a trap somewhere!"

"Oh, it's true." The captured Aqua stopped and looked at the place next to the cave. She said curiously, "Look, Xiaolin, there is a switch here."

"what?"

"Look, the wall here."

"No way……"

Kobayashi looked at the inexplicable switch that appeared in front of him, and his expression became melancholy and helpless. He was really fed up with such adventures.
