Chapter 193 I Swear to the Light

Early the next morning.

When Zun Zun and Hui Hui, who had a smile on her face, appeared on the first floor of the hotel, he was greeted by strange looks from his teammates.

Sato Kazuma pulled the corner of his mouth and said teasingly, "I know you two are childhood sweethearts with a very good relationship, but isn't it a bit disturbing to shout out your love confession so loudly at night? Everyone in the hotel can hear it."

“No, I didn’t expect you two to be in that kind of relationship. You must have done something like that last night. Your companions were right next door, yet you…ha…ha!”

"Shut up, pervert!"

Zun Zun pushed away Darkness who was having an orgasm, came to Youyou who had a resentful look on her face, and spoke to her very seriously.

"I swear to Deng, Huihui and I really didn't do anything last night!"

"……Really?"

“Really? If you don’t believe me, ask Huihui.”

She looked at Huihui behind her, only to find that the guy had a grin on his face.

"Won."

“Waaaaaaaa——!”

Youyou threw herself into Zunzun's arms and cried bitterly.

Sato Kazuma looked at this scene and couldn't help but sigh: "This is an extremely corrupt triangle relationship, it really makes people envy... No, it makes people hate it!"

He accidentally spoke the truth.

If Youyou didn't need comfort right now, Zun Zun really wanted to punch him to tell this idiot to stop causing trouble.

While they were having breakfast.

Aqua ran down quickly and shouted to everyone, "This town seems to be in danger!"

"……Oh."

"That's it."

"I see."

Everyone, each with their own concerns, responded casually.

"——Why do you all look so indifferent?"

She was so angry that she jumped up and down.

Sato Kazuma pouted: "You've been crying all night, why are you suddenly saying something like that? Your physical condition is the most dangerous thing for this town right now, you are only allowed to take a bath in the open-air bath near your room! And, Zun Zun, you promised me yesterday that we would have a mixed bath, so you must take a bath together today!"

“…Kazuma, men who cling too much are not pleasing.”

"This is called persistence! Unfortunately, many people like my style, but you just don't understand my charm!"

"You have a hammer of charm."

Zun Zun rolled his eyes at him.

“Don’t ignore me!” Aqua slammed the table and yelled, “Listen to me! I didn’t purify the hot spring on my own accord! Even the high-end bath additives that Darkness put in the bathroom, I put them all in the bathtub, and they were purified in just two or three strokes!”

"Hey, have you used up all those bath additives? I just bought them by mail order from the capital."

"It does not matter!"

The stupid goddess ignored Darkness’s crying.

She used this analogy to prove her purification ability, but it took a long time to purify the hot spring of the Akusis Church, which showed that the hot spring was seriously polluted.

“I heard that the quality of hot springs in this town has suddenly deteriorated, right? In other words, the Demon King’s army must have seen us as a threat to the Axis Church, and thought that we couldn’t win even if they challenged us head-on, so they came up with a trick to seize our important source of income!”

"Is that so? That's scary." X5
"Trust me——"

Aqua was so angry at her companions' perfunctory response that she slammed the table in protest.

"But, it's just that the quality of a few hot springs has deteriorated. Why is it linked to the Demon King's army?"

“It’s true that many people cannot stand the Axis Cult and stay away from it, but is it possible to do something so roundabout?”

"There are many high priests in this town. Even if there is a problem with the quality of the hot spring, it will be purified soon."

Darkness, Megumin, and Yunyun said this.

Sato Kazuma began to think.

Alcanretia is the headquarters of the Axis Cult. Normally, a place with so many priests should not be afraid of the hot springs being polluted. But it was polluted in the end. Doesn't that mean that the opponent's strength is comparable to that of the Demon King's army cadres?
The man I met at the bathhouse yesterday turned out to be related to the Demon King's Army.

How to do?
Do you want to tell everyone?

Just when Sato Kazuma was struggling over whether he should tell the truth, he found that Zun Zun was staring at him, as if he could see through him.

...Could it be?

"Zun Zun, come with me."

He forcibly grabbed Zun Zun's wrist, walked to the corner of the hotel, glanced at his companions who were looking at them curiously, and asked quietly.

"You should know something, right? Is it the result of divination?"

"...So be it."

"Why are you so ambiguous?"

"Actually, it wasn't me who predicted this, but my sister. She predicted this result about half a year ago, so..."

“Did you do this on purpose!?”

Sato Kazuma pointed at Zun Zun with trembling fingers. He seemed to understand why Zun Zun, who was reluctant to come here at first, changed his mind in the end.

"As expected, that guy is a member of the Demon King's Army."

“What should we do, Kazuma? You know, the bounty for a Demon King’s general is 4 million Eris. Aren’t you tempted by such a huge sum of money?”

"...Don't underestimate me!"

He glared at Zun Zun angrily, but held Zun Zun's arm tightly.

Mouth and body integrity?
In short, 4 million Eris made Satou Kazuma change his flexible moral bottom line. At this time, Aqua shouted at Huihui and the others.

"I'm going to fight to protect this town! So please help me!"

"I have another walk to take, so no."

“I, I also want to look after Huihui, so…”

“Then I’ll go with Huihui.”

The three of them flatly refused.

“Why ahhhh——”

"What the hell are you guys arguing about!?"

Sato Kazuma came over at this time and shouted to them, "There is no time to dawdle here! This town is in unknown danger, we have to save it! Let's go, guys!"

“…Ah, huh?”

"Kazuma, what's wrong with you?"

Huihui was stunned.

Darkness was even more surprised.

Aqua folded her arms and took a step back. "That's not Kazuma at all! Obviously, he would never get involved in such things. Although I'm happy that he's willing to help, but...what's going on? I feel so disgusted."

"Stop nagging me! Just tell me whether you want our help or not!"

"Yes! Of course!"

"Then what else is there to say! Let's go!"

Sato Kazuma was more enthusiastic than anyone else.

First, based on Satou Kazuma's memories, Zunzun and Aqua drew a portrait of the man they met in the bathhouse. The level of completion was so high that it was almost indistinguishable from a photograph.

Afterwards, everyone came to the Adventurer's Guild, hoping that the guild would issue a warrant for the arrest of this man.

This request was denied.

—I happened to hear it in the bath.

It was impossible to issue a wanted order for this person based on such a one-sided statement. Furthermore, they were not adventurers who used this town as their base, so they could not issue a wanted order if they were not believed.

Aqua also wanted to get the counter clerk's approval by scanning her face, but was mistaken for the second most popular person in Hanamachi.

Very funny.

Being a goddess, she is not the first.

It is impossible to attack her because the goddess has a passive saint attribute that cannot be broken through by ordinary people.

In the end, they succeeded in face recognition.

However, it was Darkness’s face that was swiped, and the counter clerk screamed in surprise at the name of “the daughter of the Kingdom’s Chief Advisor Dustinis.”

Sato Kazuma forced her to take out the token of the Dustinis family. After seeing the token, the counter clerk hurriedly took the portraits from Aqua and Zun Zun and immediately issued a wanted order.

“As expected of Darkness! This is how the power of the nobility should be abused, right?”

"A-Aqua! Stop saying such harsh things, and don't say them so loudly!"

Darkness is very concerned about using the rights of the nobles, but she herself hopes that other nobles will abuse them.

Zun Zun also considered whether to play with the whole token. After all, sometimes face recognition is not as useful as the noble token, especially when dealing with the Adventurer's Guild, an organization controlled by the kingdom.

Ask Alice next time.

As the most favored princess of the kingdom, her token should be enough to intimidate others.

“——Then!”

The clerk at the counter was afraid of neglecting Darkness, so he bowed carefully and said, "I have followed Miss Dustinis's instructions and completed the procedures for the wanted man. If I find any information, I will contact your hotel!"

"Okay. Sorry, please."

The counter clerk kept bowing to everyone leaving the guild, causing Darkness to shrink back in guilt.

And Sato Kazuma said behind Darkness: "Oh, by the way, by the way, any expenses and so on can be reported to the Dustinis family."

"——!?"

Darkness' eyes widened.

After finishing this, I walked back to the hotel.

Darkness was still furious. She grabbed Sato Kazuma's collar and said, "What the hell are you doing to me?"

"Have you had enough? I'm sorry! Otherwise, let's put it this way. Aqua will pay for all the expenses of the wanted man."

"Hey, do you want me to pay?"

"It's your cult that has problems, so of course you have to pay for it!"

"how come!"

Aqua wailed.

Only then did everyone realize that she was holding clay in her hands and was concentrating on making something.

"What is that, what are you doing?"

“This? This… I made it based on what Darkness just showed off. Look, it’s exactly the same, right? As long as I have this, I can always claim to be a child of Dustinis, and I can do whatever I want…”

Before the stupid goddess could finish her words, Darkness snatched the clay and threw it hard on the ground.

“Waaaaaa——”

She squatted down and yelled at the smashed clay.
