I like crossing the most

Chapter 968 The Last Routine 147
In the virtual city, Kobayashi and the others were still playing around, while Aqua kept urging the slow-moving group on.

"Alright, alright, everyone, come a little closer. It's time for a photo to commemorate our trip to Tokyo, okay?"

So the group struck a subtle pose.

"Oh, oh." Huihui exclaimed in surprise after seeing the finished product, "We're reflected in the little box."

"I take photos, edit them, and then post them on SCS to get lots of likes." Aqua kept operating her phone, a smug smile on her face as she said, "I want to become an eye-catching goddess influencer!"

"SCS...? influence...?"

Darkness looked at her strangely. After all, she was from another world and didn't understand modern social networks.

Kobayashi couldn't help but exclaim, "You're so good at adapting! When did you even learn that?!"

“I was saying, it seems like we can add filters and do all sorts of things,” Aqua said, pointing to the photos on her phone. “How do we take photos that everyone will like?”

"Let's use face-changing," Kobayashi said casually, then added sarcastically, "Aqua is pretty good at it, isn't she? Show me a face-changing demonstration, you useless goddess?"

"Who are you calling a useless goddess?!" Aqua burst out in anger, shouting, "Why am I called a useless goddess even after coming to this world?!"

"Look, this is face-changing."

Kobayashi pointed at the fuming Aqua and said this to the others.

However, Darkness scratched her head, somewhat puzzled, and asked, "She looks just like the usual Aqua, there's nothing special about her."

"Pfft, Darkness is saying you haven't changed. You're always making funny faces." Kobayashi said, clutching his stomach and laughing.

"That's too much!" Aqua complained loudly, her eyes brimming with tears. "I hope you don't mistake someone's angry expression for making a funny face!"

"Alright, alright." Kobayashi waved her hand to signal her not to worry about it so much, then urged Aqua, who wanted to argue with him to the end, and said, "This is also a memento, hurry up and take the picture."

"Ugh, really! Everyone, come closer!" Aqua hugged the others again, making sure they were close enough to be within her phone's camera range, and then uttered her famous slogan, "Cheese!!"

It wasn't as pretty as I'd imagined, and Aqua had to take so many photos to post on social media, which was quite a headache. She really isn't any different from other vain girls, and maybe even more so.

Then, Aqua started fiddling with her phone again and said to everyone, "As for filters... is this okay?"

"Wow!" Huihui exclaimed in surprise when she saw the picture of herself with cat ears and whiskers on her phone. "I have ears and whiskers!"

She was so afraid that she unconsciously touched her cheek, fearing that she might actually grow ears and a beard.

"It's...it's a female cat!?"

Darkness also shouted excitedly, and she too was filtered to have cat ears and whiskers, but it's unclear why she was so excited.

"Well, isn't she quite cute?"

Kobayashi said this with a smile.

"Hehehe." Aqua happily raised her phone, looking at the blue cat ears and whiskers that had appeared on her face, and said happily, "You absolutely can't take a photo like this in Axel. It's very memorable."

"Come on, cheese!!"

Unable to stop, she took several more photos until the others couldn't stand standing there taking pictures anymore, at which point she finally calmed down.

Then they went straight to the mall.

As we all know, in any world, girls generally love to shop, and Wiz is an example of this.

"Hey Wiz, can we really buy anything?"

Aqua said this with a hint of anticipation.

“Of course!” Wiz said with a smile, “I’ve always been grateful for Lady Aqua’s kindness, so I’ll treat you to whatever you want to buy. Please don’t be shy.”

No, Wiz has completely misunderstood. Aqua won't stand on ceremony with her. In fact, she has no idea what politeness is. Hopefully, Wiz won't feel bad about it later... Ah, it's the virtual world, never mind then.

"But what I want..."

Aqua looked at the dazzling array of goods in the supermarket, then spotted something that particularly caught her eye. Pointing at it, she shouted to Megumin, "Liben's bubble tea?! Let's buy it all! Megumin, bring the shopping cart!"

She shouted excitedly.

Huihui, pushing the cart, shouted, "Leave it to me! My Burst can transport anything!"

"As for me, this and this... ah, this product is pretty good too. The world's worst-tasting chewing gum, I'm really curious what it tastes like." Wiz held the product with an expectant look on his face.

"Is it okay to buy so many?" Kobayashi asked, looking at the ever-increasing number of goods. "I thought everyone had the same amount of money."

"Hehehe, actually I have this in my pocket. This card is really powerful, you know?" Wiz pulled out a very familiar card with a look of delight, and then said with a slightly boastful and admiring tone, "As long as you hand over this card, you can get the goods. I've never seen such a magical item before!"

This is a credit card.

Kobayashi twitched the corner of his mouth. He knew there wouldn't be such a good thing, but considering how strong Wiz's desire to buy was, it wouldn't be right to stop her. So Kobayashi told her to buy more.

"Ok!"

Wiz said with delight, pointing to an item on the shelf, "Ah, that doll... it looks a lot like Mr. Barnier. Let's buy it as a souvenir."

This and this, that and that.

The prop shop owner's shopping desires were fully unleashed, and in the blink of an eye, the shop was piled high with countless items.

"Hehe, with cards like these, I've unknowingly bought a lot."

"That's the gateway to destruction..."

Xiaolin couldn't help but mutter to himself.

"Hmm?" Wiz asked, somewhat puzzled. "Did you just say something?"

"No, they didn't say anything. Just buy whatever you want with that card," Kobayashi said with a smile.

“…A card that can make everyone happy, that’s wonderful.” Wiz looked happy, then seemed to have thought of something and said, “When we return to our original world, please ask the craftsman to make one too.”

No, the point isn't how powerful the card is, but rather how powerful the meaning it represents; the two are different things.

Forget it.

Kobayashi should explain.

"Wiz, this is a credit card."

"Credit card?...What, what's that?"

Wiz looked completely bewildered.

So Kobayashi told Wiz everything about the credit card and the things she needed to be careful about. After hearing the explanation, Wiz was completely dumbfounded.

"...What did you say!?" Wiz's hand holding the card trembled slightly, his eyes as lifeless as he shouted, "The card needs to be paid off by next month!? Will there be a charge for late payment!?"

Upon learning of this, Wiz hurriedly shouted to Aqua, "Lady Aqua, I'm so sorry. Large-scale purchases are indeed—"

"Please take care of this and this too! I also bought a lot of snacks to go with the sparkling wine!"

"Eh eh eh——————"

Aqua didn't care about any of that; her desire to buy things was even stronger than Wiz's. Although Kobayashi could tell her that this was a virtual world and she didn't need to be afraid of actually spending money, considering that Wiz always bought things without restraint, she decided to treat this as a lesson for her.

After their shopping spree, Kobayashi and the others left the mall.

"I'm saying, the line isn't moving at all... Is there anyone who can let me cut in line?"

Aqua said some very impolite things.

Wiz quickly grabbed her arm and dissuaded her, saying, "Everyone is patiently waiting in line, doing this is really..."

“These are words that have nothing to do with Axis believers.” Aqua crossed her arms and said, “Wiz, you should understand that too. You don’t need to hold back. Drink when you want to drink, eat when you want to eat… Ah.”

"But you can't put it at the very front either."

"Indeed. As an incorruptible goddess, she couldn't do such a thing; it would ruin her image. If we could make this long dragon disappear... Ah! I've got a great idea!"

Aqua clapped her hands.

Wiz felt a little scared and asked in a low voice, "What...what is it? I have a very uneasy feeling..."

“Heh heh, I mean Wiz?” Aqua pointed at the people in front of her and said, “There aren’t actually any people queuing up here… right?”

"Okay, that seems to be correct?"

"It doesn't actually exist, yet it can be seen... Isn't that just like the dead?"

"Huh!? What kind of logic is that!?"

"That's it... resolved! Divine Purification!"

"Aaaaa! Lady Aqua! No, no!"

Before Wiz could react, Aqua had already cast a purification spell, and after letting out a long sigh of relief, she suddenly realized...

"Phew, that's good... What, it's not working at all."

"As expected, the people here don't seem to be undead..."

Wiz patted his chest in relief.

"Hmm, in that case..." Aqua was far from satisfied. She raised her hands and shouted, "Super Holy Purification!!"

"Lady Aqua! No, no... I'm disappearing, I'm disappearing!"

However, the people in the long line didn't react at all, while Wiz was almost out of sight. After noticing their actions, Kobayashi couldn't help but tap them on the head.

Time flies.

Night fell in the blink of an eye.

With the idea of ​​seeing the night view in mind, Kobayashi led a few people to Tokyo Tower.

"Look, look!" Aqua exclaimed excitedly, pointing to her feet. "The floor here is made of glass!"

"Eh, Lady Aqua!?" Wiz cowered and trembled with fear, pleading in a low voice, "Don't pull me! It's so high! What will happen if we fall!?"

And the others watching the interaction between the two.

Darkness smiled slightly and said, "Aqua and Wiz are both very excited. But it's only natural that they can see such a magnificent night view."

She looked down.

“It’s so beautiful.” Darkness seemed to want to take it all in, saying, “The car lights, the building lights, the street lights… or is this called neon lights? This is the first time I’ve ever seen them. And, thinking that there are people running businesses behind each of these lights, I can’t help but feel a lot of emotions. Is this beautiful scene created by humans?”

"The lights of the building can also be said to be the light of people's hard work overtime."

Kobayashi was equally impressed.

Of course, it's on a different level.

Darkness sighed helplessly and said, "You man... you have no romance at all, but that's very much your style."

She leaned against the glass window, the neon lights behind her illuminating her beautifully.

"In this situation, can't we say something more witty?"

"Well... you look much prettier than usual."

"Eh?!"

Upon hearing what Kobayashi said, Darkness exclaimed in surprise.

"Why are you so surprised? Didn't you want me to make it more humorous?" Kobayashi shrugged and said, "You look cuter like this than when you're wearing armor..."

"Honestly, you man... hehehe." Darkness suddenly laughed softly, tugging at her hair as she said with satisfaction, "I just felt you said something that ruined the mood, and then you suddenly said something like this. Even if it's just flattery, I'm happy to hear it. Let's just... enjoy the night view for now."

She stared blankly at the night view, lost in thought.

Upon seeing Darkness, who was so beautiful and goddess-like, Kobayashi couldn't help but say, "Why don't we spend the night here?"

"Staying...staying overnight here?!" Darkness instantly broke down, her face flushed as she said, "What are you suddenly saying?!"

"No, I was just kidding. You asked me to say something witty, so I was thinking of saying something that would make someone's heart flutter—"

Kobayashi hadn't finished speaking.

Darkness suddenly became slightly agitated, and said quickly, "You're probably planning to suddenly pin me against the window while I'm looking at the night view, and whisper to me, 'Your shame is being watched by all the lights,' right?! You'll probably say something like, 'Doing this while watching the light of labor is the best,' right? Waaah... You, you man, you're a monster!"

"You're the least romantic person..."

Seeing the deranged and eccentric female knight, Kobayashi couldn't help but sigh and rub his forehead. She'd wasted such a beautiful scene. It would have been better to talk to Alice after all…

"Lady Alice, it's dangerous here! It's all glass, so it's definitely not safe! In that case, please lean against me and let me... protect... you...!!"

"Yes, thank you, Claire!"

"You're welcome! Lady Alice! Lady Alice...!"

Oh no, the atmosphere over there is even more complicated.
