"Hey, Kazuma! All those kotatsu and stuff you made, is it just to live off these parasites who suck the negative emotions of humans?"

"Oh dear, that's not a funny joke at all, Kusukusu..." Aqua covered her mouth and laughed directly.

[In response, Banir stated that demons take contracts very seriously, unlike some gods who use donations as a pretext for fraud: "How so? It's true that God has always been watching over you."]

"We've witnessed the kind of god they've been talking about! The peeping tom arrested a few days ago, the man who watched over the bathhouse and toilet with warm eyes—was he a god?! Hahaha!"

The scene shows Dust, a blond-haired man, being arrested for spying.

[And so Barnier and Aqua laughed for a while, devoid of any emotion... and then suddenly fell silent.]

"There's never been a good thing about making a pact with a demon. Although demons do respect pacts, they also like to play word games with them. You can easily get tricked if you're not careful."

"The argument between the goddess and the demon is evenly matched; what a powerful taunting skill."

Everyone stared in disbelief as the two exchanged barbs, thinking that Aqua's taunts were already at their peak, but they never expected that Barnier's sarcastic remarks were also exceptional.

Knowing full well that Aqua is a goddess, she still specifically pointed out that this barrier is quite well done from a human perspective... As expected of a demon, she really knows how to find fault!

God's Blessing on This Wonderful World!

With a "click," the sheriff expressionlessly handcuffed Duster's wrists, clearly preparing to take him for tea: "Do you have anything else to say?"

With his hands cuffed, Duster still tried to argue: "Why should I have to bear the consequences of my future crimes now?! Hey, Kazuma, explain this to me."

Duster looked hopefully at his close friend, believing that given their friendship, he wouldn't just stand by and watch him be arrested.

Kazuma didn't just stand by and watch; instead, he stood on the moral high ground and smiled kindly: "You've worked hard, Sheriff! It pains me to see him like this. I hope you can help him reform himself."

As the saying goes, true friends are meant to be sold! You can't hesitate at a time like this.

After all, he has a bigger problem with his nickname "Ghostly True Man". It's already a sign of the sheriff's magnanimity that he hasn't been arrested yet!

[Ultimately, after Kazuma's persuasion, Aqua and the others calmed down and began negotiations with Banir.]

Barnier carefully examined the props laid out on the table using his instruments.

Although the gadgets Kazuma makes are quite ordinary, they are incredibly novel in this other world: "You're interested in selling the intellectual property rights to these things? I'll buy them for 3 million!"

Upon hearing this, everyone present was stunned by the amount. This was enough to live comfortably for the rest of their lives without ever having to work.

Barnier seemed to have seen through Kazuma's thoughts and continued, "In terms of monthly profit, that's 100 million per month!"

"One million yen a month!!" Aqua and Darkness excitedly ran to the kotatsu and sat down.

Kazuma was instantly caught in a dilemma, unsure of what to choose. Barnier told Kazuma to take his time to think it over, then turned to leave.

Aqua waved her hand, wishing the other person would leave immediately: "Your stench will taint my sacred room. Get out, get out of here right now!"

Despite gritting his teeth, Barnier, considering the business, snorted coldly and obediently left the mansion.

[Thoughts return to the present...]

After listening to Darkness's explanation, Megumin finally understood everything: "I see, now I know why they pretended to be nobles."

"A shoulder massager, a juicer, a peeler, and a honey-scented whip on the table? What kind of bizarre gadgets are these that can sell for 3 million?"

"Inflation is quite serious. I suddenly remembered that a single cabbage can cost tens of thousands of dollars."

Everyone finally understood why Kazuma and Aqua had become so tolerant and forgiving at the beginning; after all, getting 300 million for free was something to be happy about.

But can Barnier really come up with 300 million? If he really had 300 million, why would he be working for Wiz?

These junk items are priced the same as the Headless Horseman; I really feel sorry for the Headless Horseman.

[Megumin, with a cheerful smile: "Well... having money is a good thing. Alright, let's go slay the monster!"]

"What are you talking about? You already have such a large sum of money, why do you still need to work?" He Zhen's state of mind was as calm as Buddha's, his face still bearing an elegant smile.

"Besides, I had all the equipment and a plan for the challenge, but I still died... I've decided, from now on I'm going to make a living through business and live a comfortable life."

Despite Kazuma's somewhat dismissive remarks, Aqua remained unperturbed, a smile playing on her lips. "Hey, Kazuma-san, this is really bothering me. It'll be difficult for me if we don't fight the Demon King."

"In that case, let's make even more money! Hire lots of shrewd and capable adventurers, and then have them defeat the Demon King! How about that? Doesn't that sound a bit more realistic?"

[After hearing this, Aqua's face contorted in shock. She slapped Kazuma's face as if she were holding a wad of cash, and Kazuma obligingly swayed his face from side to side.]

"That's it, as expected of Kazuma! Slapping adventurers in the face with piles of money, ordering them around at will! And then, when the Demon King is weakened, delivering the final blow."

Kazuma laughed heartily upon hearing this: "That's exactly right, we can't be people who've come all this way sleeping in the same bed!"

"Hahaha, Aqua's expression... What a memorable scene! It's really hard to imagine that she's a goddess. She looks like a nouveau riche."

"Honestly... are they really heroes and goddesses? I actually see the face of capitalists in them."

Everyone was completely stunned when they heard Kazuma's plan: to hire adventurers to defeat the Demon King, and then reap the benefits himself during the final blow. He was simply a genius.

This kind of shamelessness seems perfectly natural on Kazuma; it's exactly the kind of thing he's capable of doing!

The ruined world of Fulilian

"Instead of being a hero, he went into business... Why do I feel that what Zhao and Zhen said makes a lot of sense?" Philon couldn't help but cover his face with his hands.

Kazuma is right. If you have money, why do you still need to work?

After all, if you can die once even after making a detailed plan to defeat monsters, it's more practical to just go into business and hire adventurers to defeat the Demon King.

Frilian, standing to the side, offered her guess without any expression: "Judging from the law that the more they work, the poorer they become, this money probably won't last long."

To avoid incurring debt for no reason, the best course of action is to use the money you have now to buy equipment, fight monsters, and level up!

As for going into business? Don't even think about it. She's never seen any hero go into business.

Academy City World

Looking at Aqua's somewhat bizarre facial expression, Touma Kamijou felt a little embarrassed: "Is this the ugly face of the rich people as they say?"

How utterly despicable! These two heroes and goddesses! They can come up with such a shameless plan, one daring to speak and the other daring to listen, and they can even reach a consensus.

They say two kinds of people can't come from the same bed, and Aqua and Kazuma are truly a match made in heaven, coming from the same stable.

Sometimes he really couldn't believe that this thing was actually a goddess!

Chapter 486 Aqua and Kazuma play rock-paper-scissors? How dare she?

Megumin doesn't approve of this method of defeating the Demon King with money, after all, her dream is to defeat the Demon King herself using explosion magic!

[Megumin wanted Darkness to stand up and say something in response.]

[But Darkness was actually happy that Kazuma had become a cripple; just thinking about it made her look incredibly pleased, her face flushed and her breath coming in ragged gasps.]

[Megumin clutched her head in frustration, practically going crazy. After all, there was someone here even more useless than Kazuma!]

Kazuma said not to equate him with a pervert; he simply wanted to rest and recuperate because his previous injuries hadn't fully healed.

Huihui's eyes lit up; there was a place that was very effective for healing: "Let's set off right away, to Alcanretia, the city of water and hot springs!"

Kazuma and Aqua immediately perked up and agreed without hesitation.

As for Darkness… she was still lost in her own fantasy world, blushing and fidgeting.

"Huihui finally understands how difficult it is for Hezhen. You still want to rely on Darkness? She's even more useless than Hezhen, that good-for-nothing."

"Honestly, I don't even want to expose you anymore. How could you still have unhealed injuries after being treated by Aqua? That's impossible."

Aqua may not be the brightest, but when it comes to abilities, everyone who uses her praises her! Her healing spells are at the maximum level, just like her taunts.

As the saying goes, something unusual must be a sign of trouble! Everyone seemed to have already seen Kazuma on the verge of bankruptcy.

As for enjoying hot springs? That's even more impossible. Judging from their unlucky record every time they go out, they'll definitely cause trouble.

After deciding to go to the hot spring town, the two, who usually sleep until noon, packed their bags and prepared to leave before dawn.

But after waiting for ages, nothing happened. Kazuma kept complaining, "Honestly, those two always call us useless people, when are they going to stop sleeping?!"

So Aqua told Kazuma to go and get a good spot while she went to wake the two of them up!

[Then Kazuma went to Wiz's shop and found Barnier, saying they would decide on the 300 million yen project after he returned.]

Barnier wasn't in a hurry: "Just relax and look forward to the mixed bathing!"

Kazuma, as if his little scheme had been exposed, blushed instantly and stammered, "I...I...I didn't have any expectations. I only went there because my neck injury still hurts."

At that moment, Kazuma suddenly noticed someone lying dead nearby: "More importantly, why is Wiz charred?"

[Barnier sighed deeply upon hearing this, because Wiz had just acquired a batch of useless high-tech urinals, which had also wiped out all of his profits.]

[When it comes to procuring useless things, Wiz is a genius! So he used the Retribution Ray to burn Wiz into this state.]

"That's it, I'm packing these junk items into boxes to return them."

Kazuma was speechless: "Don't they have any normal magical items in this shop?"

Upon hearing this, Barnier couldn't help but sigh again: "Our shop's useless owner has a very rare talent, especially in purchasing useless things. If we're not careful, he'll end up buying inexplicable items without our consent..."

"Oh right, you're going to the hot springs, right!" To prevent Wiz from causing further losses to the shop, Banir entrusted Wiz to Kazuma.

"No wonder the business is getting poorer and poorer. What kind of ridiculous props are they stocking? It's no wonder these things can't be sold."

"I feel a little sorry for Barnier for some reason. I don't even know who came to work for him. Wiz has lost all the money he earned."

Good heavens, a worker has burned the shop owner! This is outrageous! This shop is doomed.

More than Wiz's unique perspective, people were curious about where she found so many bizarre props to stock up on... how she managed to do so with high risk and low profit.

Fairy Tail World

"These magical items are completely useless. It's a miracle that Wiz's shop hasn't gone out of business," Lucy couldn't help but complain.
