Chapter 128 A Drunken Self-Disclosure
"You know what? I'm not a frog-hunting expert at all. In fact, on my first day fighting a giant frog, I was swallowed whole. It was that kid Broly who saved me..."
"I was supposed to take care of that child, but instead I became a leech sucking his blood. I am not worthy to be his master. What kind of water goddess am I? I should be the leech goddess..."
"Miss Aqua, you're drunk!"
"No, I'm not drunk. I am Aqua, the leech goddess. Because of vanity, I accepted credit and honors that did not belong to me."
Even today, I still take on a difficult task and want that kid to help me complete it. I'm such a huge jerk, wahahahaha…”
Broly returned to Marian's house and heard that Aqua was looking for him. However, she didn't return for a long time, so he went to the guild. But when he arrived there, he saw Aqua acting drunk and talking nonsense.
"Broly, your master is drunk! Come and stop her!"
When Luna saw the boy walking in at the guild entrance, her eyes lit up and she ran over to him, already covered in sweat.
She deeply regretted signaling to the bartender to make Aqua a drink that didn't taste strong.
Adventurers sometimes teeter on the brink of life and death when fighting monsters, so it's normal to feel pressured.
She originally intended to get Aqua drunk and then act as her emotional counselor to relieve Aqua's stress, but she never expected things to turn out this way.
In front of countless adventurers in the guild, Aqua actually confessed that, driven by vanity, she had despicably manipulated her disciples to complete various commissions and then claimed the credit for them.
If Aqua's words are false, then the guild that intentionally assigned difficult tasks to her should bear the corresponding responsibility for pushing such an excellent high priest adventurer to this state.
If what Aqua said is true, then the situation is even more tragic; their guild has become the culprit that exploits a child adventurer.
But the most important thing now is to get Aqua to calm down quickly and stop being a self-destructive machine.
"Master Aqua, I heard from Sister Marian that you came to see me at noon."
Broly stepped forward and addressed Aqua, who was already jumping on the table and loudly proclaiming herself a super jerk.
"Has something happened?"
Upon hearing the boy's voice, Aqua's body trembled, and she turned her head, her face flushed. Normally, alcohol would be purified into water in her body, but if Aqua intentionally didn't purify it, she could still get truly drunk.
"Broly, you're finally back! Waaah, I'm so sorry, I must have been such a terrible goddess, causing you so much trouble these past few days..."
Aqua rushed over, hugged Broly's neck, and burst into tears.
"No, Master Aqua is definitely not a bad goddess. You taught me water creation and water purification magic. With these two spells, I no longer have to worry about water. Master Aqua also taught me the body surface dirt purification technique, which is also a very useful ability."
Broly said very sincerely that he never thought there was anything wrong with Aqua. Although the combat techniques she taught were indeed not very useful, her other skills were like divine skills in his eyes.
In particular, it can generate and purify water. Even though the bathing technique was tested later and found not to be a universal ability to increase the wife's happiness level, it is enough as long as it is applicable to Aqua herself.
After all, he can gain four or five happiness points from taking a bath, and he can stay in this world for more than two hundred and eighty days.
With just that scrubbing ability, he could scrub Aqua's body to the point of getting eight or nine hundred, or even a thousand happiness points, which would be a huge sum of happiness points.
"Really?"
Aqua was somewhat skeptical.
"real."
Broly nodded.
"Then why have you been avoiding me these past few days?"
"Are they avoiding you?"
Broly was somewhat puzzled.
"Just like today, I can't find you."
she says.
"Uh, Master Aqua, have you forgotten why I came to this world?"
Broly countered with a question.
"For what reason?"
Aqua wiped away her tears and asked, only then realizing belatedly that the boy wanted to find a wife.
"Did you go see your wife today?"
"Um."
Broly nodded. Although he still had plenty of time to stay in this world, the world was vast, and finding a wife was something he needed to do sooner rather than later.
After all, the sooner you find a wife, the greater the benefits. Take Aqua, for example, the wife I met during my time travel, and her happiness level is almost at 1,000.
Of course, Aqua's happiness level is not very stable, fluctuating greatly. For example, it was over 990 at noon, but now it has become 800. But as long as it is generally trending upwards, that's fine.
"Broly, don't you think the things I randomly accept and ask you to do are annoying you?"
Aqua had stopped crying, but she was still somewhat skeptical that Broly wasn't bothered.
Why is it so annoying?
Broly scratched his head.
"Isn't taking on monster-hunting jobs just a way to earn a living?"
Broly said he couldn't understand why someone would find it troublesome to earn money to exchange for food.
"Ah, this..."
Aqua was somewhat speechless, because Broly was telling the truth.
"So I'm taking credit for what you did to resolve the issue, aren't you angry?"
Aqua, realizing something, pressed for more information.
"Why should I be angry? It's not like it's food. If those things can make you happy, then they should belong to you. Besides, if they can't make you happy, I wouldn't do some of these requests."
Take hunting giant frogs, for example. It took me a lot of effort to find those more than a thousand giant frogs. If you hadn't made a promise to others that you would continue hunting giant frogs and protect their safety, I wouldn't have bothered to find giant frogs, let alone hunt more than a thousand of them.
So, this is all thanks to you, Master Aqua.
Broly was telling the truth: without Aqua, he might have hunted giant frogs, but he definitely wouldn't have hunted this many.
Considering the situation in the previous world, Broly decided to focus on finding a romantic partner and increasing the happiness stat of the partners he had already found.
Of course, one also needs to consider whether the person they've found will eventually agree to join their harem and become their wife.
Broly's words deeply moved Aqua.
"Why don't I have such a good apprentice?"
Many adventurers have expressed their envy that Aqua has a disciple like Broly.
"Are you the high priest?"
"no."
"Do you possess stunning beauty?"
"No, not at all."
"Then what makes you think you have such a good apprentice?"
When others asked him this question, the man had no answer.
"Damn it, this awful world that judges people by their looks!"
The man roared.
"It's not just about looks, it's about ability too, you bastard!"
A female adventurer who was not bad-looking also roared.
As it turns out, Aqua in her normal state is quite capable.
Both in appearance and in strength as a high priest, he surpassed most of the adventurers in Axel.
