[ The next day, after Kazuma and Aqua received their mission reward from the guild receptionist, they heard her complain.
"Although there are missions posted in the guild, no matter how many times we exterminate them, new evil spirits quickly move in. It's really troublesome for us."
Having experienced the baptism of the previous night, Kazuma naturally empathized: "It seems so. Why are there so many evil spirits gathered here!"
The receptionist, Luna, suddenly turned slightly resentful: "Isn't there a public cemetery near that house!"
"Because someone played a prank and set up a large barrier in the cemetery! So the evil spirits who lost their homes moved into that empty house."
Aqua instantly shivered and froze in place, her face turning pale.
Kazuma quickly dragged Aqua to a corner of the guild: "Hey, you know something, don't you? Speak up!"
Aqua's eyes became hollow, and she awkwardly gave up struggling: "Didn't I take over Wiz's job of purifying the cemetery before? But going to the cemetery so often is really troublesome."
"So I just made it so the spirits couldn't go to the cemetery. I thought they would naturally disappear after that... so I..."
Seeing Aqua speak softer and softer, Kazuma directly concluded: "We can't accept the guild's temporary reward, right?"
Aqua, knowing she was in the wrong, could only nod obediently: "Mm..."
And so, Kazuma took Aqua to apologize to the client. Fortunately, the client didn't mind too much and generously offered them the house to live in. ]

"Hahaha, Aqua is simply a genius. Nothing can stump her. As expected of the wise goddess, full of wisdom."
"I'm dying of laughter. This is how a god's mind works. I can't keep up at all. Because she's too lazy to solve the problem, she just targets the source once and for all!"
Everyone laughed so hard they couldn't stand straight. No wonder people say that mentally challenged children bring more joy. This saying fits Aqua perfectly without any sense of incongruity.
Good heavens, killing two birds with one stone! She directly achieved an industry closed-loop, creating problems herself and then charging others to solve them.
She directly achieved sustainable development and could take on unlimited exorcism missions to earn money.

In the 7th singularity, Absolute Demonic Front: Babylonia—
Looking at such a "clever" Aqua, Ishtar said blankly,
"Seriously, it's a miracle she's grown this old without being beaten to death."
What kind of divine logic is this?! Just because she found it troublesome, she outright stopped the spirits from returning to the cemetery... Is she really a goddess, or actually some high-ranking underling of a demon king?
Wiz, as a lich, would tirelessly come to purify the undead, but Aqua, as a goddess, would slack off, which led to this incident.
Merlin smiled:
"So Aqua really can't do anything without Kazuma watching her."
One slip-up and she dug another big hole for herself! But from the results, they had a house to live in.
Could this be the result of Kazuma's top-tier luck neutralizing Aqua's bad luck? Truly, good fortune and misfortune are intertwined.
〜A Certain Magical Index World, Academy City〜
Misaka Mikoto showed a cheerful smile and gave a thumbs-up to Kazuma on the screen:
"Aqua might be a bit of a pain, but she's still quite useful. At least now they don't have to sleep on the horse stable."
Aqua's brain might not work very well, but her strength is top-notch. Maxed-out resurrection and purification make her the bane of the undead.
And do you know how hard it is to find a silly goddess who is willing to sleep in a stable with you, do manual labor, go on adventures, and never look down on you?
.....
[ The scene changed. Kazuma placed the doll next to the tombstone, carefully wiping it with a bucket of water and a rag: "I thought it was Aqua's delusion, but it turned out to be true!"
Wiz looked at the doll next to the tombstone and said with a soft laugh, "This way, it won't be lonely."
Wiz seemed to be worried about Kazuma and the others. Seeing that they were still safe, she felt relieved, so she said she had to go back to her shop, bowed her head, and left.
After Wiz left, Kazuma stood with his hands on his hips, looking at the luxurious mansion behind him, his mood much lighter: "Finally, I'm living the stable life I've long yearned for!"
But not long after, Megumin's voice came from inside the mansion: "Aqua, the stove is out of firewood!"
Aqua didn't care: "Oh, then throw Kazuma's tracksuit over there into the fire!" ]

〜Projection of All Worlds〜
"Such a gentle Wiz, it's really hard to imagine that she's a Devil King's Executive."
"Hahaha, even though they moved to a new home, Kazuma's clothes are still destined to be burned by Aqua."
Good heavens... Everyone originally thought that everything Aqua said when exorcising spirits at the gate was made up, but they didn't expect her stories to be true.
But this is too long, isn't it! Aqua had been reading from day to night before and still hadn't finished.
As for a stable life... Heh, don't even think about it. As long as the 40 million debt is still on them, plus this group of brain-dead teammates, a stable life is impossible.
.....
[ After Kazuma moved into his dream mansion, he lay on the sofa, looking at the fireplace, feeling somewhat empty. Just then, Aqua walked over with a smug expression.
"I'm level 21! I'm the highest level in the party. If you understand that, quickly give up your spot in front of the fireplace to me, the more powerful one!"
Although Kazuma was a bit unwilling to be surpassed by Aqua in level, he felt a bit strange looking at Aqua's stats: "Huh... I feel like your stats haven't increased at all compared to when we first met!"
Aqua said as if it were obvious: "You're so stupid. Of course, stats are determined from the beginning!"
"Comparing a normal adventurer with me is inherently wrong! That's one of the rules."
Watching Aqua's smug look, Kazuma sighed and gave up his spot to Aqua, then patted her shoulder with a look of pity.
This means that no matter how much this guy levels up, her intelligence won't increase!
Aqua suddenly looked confused: "Um... why are you crying? Why are you looking at me with such pity?"
Tears welled up in Kazuma's eyes: We got a house, and the most important winter problem has been solved, but this child is forever beyond saving. ]
[ .....]
〜Projection of All Worlds〜
"That's the look of concern for the mentally challenged... Aqua! You'll always be a mentally challenged person in this life!"
Despite having all attributes superior to the average, her intelligence is the only one below average, and now leveling up doesn't increase her intelligence. Aqua's intelligence will always remain low.
Everyone also looked at Aqua with pity. Is there anything more heartbreaking than being defined as mentally challenged and unable to change it?
.....
〜Sword Art Online World〜
Kirito couldn't help but laugh:
"Aqua is a god, so leveling up doesn't increase her stats... In that case, what's the point of her leveling up?"
Leveling up can't change the fact that Aqua is an idiot. It's truly pitiful.
No wonder Kazuma was unmoved by such an annoying Aqua... After all, she's too pathetic. He just treated it as caring for the mentally challenged.
Asuna also sighed:
"Let's just consider it an equivalent exchange. After all, setting aside her intelligence, everything else is top-tier."
And... as long as Aqua is with her companions, being an idiot isn't a problem, because no one else's brain is particularly high-functioning either; they all have a few screws loose!
.....
[ The next day, Kazuma aimlessly walked down the street and saw two sneaky adventurers peeking at something. Kazuma also became curious.
Dust, the blonde, pulled Kazuma over and whispered, "This is a secret among male adventurers. Do you know about a succubus-run shop that helps you have good dreams at night?"
Kazuma's expression instantly became serious: "Tell me more!"
Then, led by the two, Kazuma arrived at the succubus shop, and their faces instantly flushed.
After understanding, Kazuma learned that one only needs to write their desires on paper, and a succubus will appear in their dreams that night to fulfill their requests.
Because it's a dream, any request is fine. The cost is just a little bit of vitality, provided one doesn't drink alcohol at night; otherwise, they'll sleep too soundly to enter the dream. ]

〜Projection of All Worlds〜
"Holy crap, I didn't expect you to be this kind of person! Kazuma, I really didn't misjudge you. Tell me more, I love to hear it!"
"What a 'tell me more'... A hero who's sunk to your level is just too real!"
Good heavens, looking at the various ideal female body types of big sisters in the succubus shop, everyone disgracefully wiped their noses. Such a world is too blissful!
These succubi can even customize packages, that's too awesome! As the saying goes, heroes can't resist beauties. Whoever wants to resist can; this Demon King is not worth fighting.

〜KonoSuba: God's Blessing on This Wonderful World〜
"What!! There's actually a shop like that? I must go experience it... cough cough... to criticize it!"
"Damn it! Do you have any morals left? Where's your bottom line? Where's your dignity? Where's the location?!"
All the male adventurers in other towns showed envious gazes. If there really was such a shop! Who cares if it's a beginner village? Eris couldn't drive me away, I said it!
At this moment, some people in the capital of the Kingdom of Brydle recognized the blonde figure on the screen and exclaimed in shock:
"Isn't that Dust?! The strongest Dragon Knight in the royal palace!"
What's going on? The strongest Dragon Knight in the royal palace actually appeared in the beginner village? Why aren't you guarding the capital and running here? It can't be just for the succubus shop, can it?
