----------------------------------------------------------
Emiya had to admit that Sword Princess Ais's fighting style was indeed incredibly cool. It was no wonder that the elf girl Lefiya was so infatuated with her, becoming her little fan.
Ais used the alligators as stepping stones on the lake's surface, jumping left and right. Every time she landed, she could accurately step on an alligator's head.
Although the alligators also wanted to fight back, they were as weak and powerless as children in front of Ais.
Every time Ais jumped, she would conveniently kill the alligator under her feet with a sword.
In just a few moments, more than ten alligators had died at Ais's hands.
The remaining alligators saw this and swam away desperately, disappearing from Ais's sight in a flash.
Ais, who had lost her footing, was about to get wet.
Emiya had to release a psychic hand to grab her and pull her back.
"Thank you," Ais said in a low voice to Emiya.
"You're welcome." Emiya waved his hand and released his psychic hand, dragging the dead alligators out of the lake and onto the ground, so that their blood wouldn't pollute the lake water.
After the alligators ran away, no one else interfered with Aqua's purification.
A few hours later, the lake water was successfully purified.
The group happily returned to the Adventurers' Guild, submitted the quest, and received a reward of 300,000 Eris. Because this quest was completed almost entirely by Aqua, she took 200,000 Eris by herself.
Of the remaining 100,000, 50,000 went to Ais.
The last 50,000 was equally divided among Emiya, Rivera, Kazuma, and Darkness.
No one had any objections to this distribution.
As for the dead alligators, Emiya also brought them back and sold them to the Adventurers' Guild.
Although this quest didn't require defeating the alligators, their meat was of average quality, but their skin was still valuable and could be processed into various items.
So the Adventurers' Guild purchased all of the more than ten alligators for a price of 30,000 Eris each.
They earned nearly 400,000 Eris in total, which was even more valuable than the quest to purify the lake.
Most of this Eris belonged to Ais, as she was the one who killed almost all of the alligators. As for Emiya, he only took 50,000 Eris as a transportation fee.
The two girls had no objections to this either.
In the afternoon, the three of them returned to the villa.
As soon as they entered, they saw Aqua, Darkness, and
Kazuma sprawled on the sofa, looking listless.
It seemed that the three of them had not yet recovered from the effects of their hangovers.
This was a bit surprising to Emiya. He could understand Darkness and Kazuma, as they were humans, but Aqua was a goddess.
Although she was a bit of an idiot, she was a genuine goddess.
"Aqua, are you not well yet?" Emiya asked curiously.
Aqua said, "Of course I'm fine. You think I'm just a god?
I'm the Goddess of Water."
"Then why do you look so listless?"
"I'm just hungry, that's all. Why didn't you prepare breakfast for me when you left this morning?" Aqua was very dissatisfied, and her stomach rumbled as she spoke.
Emiya: ...
He had left too early this morning and had indeed forgotten to prepare breakfast for Aqua and the others.
So Emiya quickly created some lunch and afternoon tea.
Aqua immediately began to gobble it down.
"You two eat something too." Emiya placed two
hamburger patties into Kazuma's and Darkness's hands.
Kazuma put down the hamburger patty and rubbed his temples. "I can't. My head is so fuzzy, I can't eat anything. It's so disgusting. I'm never drinking so much again."
Darkness nodded from the side.
Although her defense was terrifying, even a powerful defense couldn't stop a hangover.
"What did you guys do today? Why did you three disappear after we woke up?" Aqua asked while eating her delicious egg mixed rice.
Emiya told them about the three of them going to defeat the griffon and manticore.
"A griffon? Hey, hey, hey, isn't that a highly dangerous monster?" Kazuma was startled. "You guys went to defeat such a powerful monster? Were you hurt?"
For new adventurers like them, this kind of monster was simply unbeatable.
Emiya said calmly, "Don't worry, the quest was a success. Riveria and Ais defeated the griffon and manticore and successfully completed the quest."
"Completed...completed?" Kazuma was shocked, his face
full of disbelief.
"I told you, although Riveria and Ais are new adventurers, they were already very powerful before they became adventurers. Defeating a few monsters is nothing for them."
Ais nodded from the side, confirming Emiya's statement.
Aqua pulled Emiya aside and whispered, "Those two are so strong, why did they form a party with us?"
Emiya wasn't sure how to explain it, so he vaguely said, "Probably because you all get along?"
"How is that possible?" Aqua didn't accept this explanation at all. At this moment, a light bulb went off in her head, and she blurted out, "I understand."
Emiya was confused. "You understand what?"
Aqua whispered, "I think they are likely spies sent by the Demon King to find out my identity and then kill me.
That way, no one can defeat him."
Emiya: ...
'What are you thinking? Your way of thinking is too unusual.'
Spies sent by the Demon King? How is that possible?
"I think you're overthinking it," Emiya said. "No matter how you look at it, Riveria and Ais couldn't be spies for the Demon King's army. Do you think they look like people who would side with the Demon King?"
"You never know," Aqua said, firm in her judgment.
Emiya shook his head vigorously. "No, no, no. Think about it. You've called yourself a goddess in front of them several times. If they really were from the Demon King's army, they would have already attacked you."
"Eh?!" Aqua was instantly frightened and quickly hid behind Emiya. "I'll be killed. Those two will definitely kill me."
"Calm down, Aqua!" Emiya chopped at Aqua's head,
making the idiotic goddess calm down.
"It hurts!" Aqua was so hurt that tears were about to well up in her eyes. "What are you doing? Hitting a goddess will bring down divine punishment."
"I was just trying to make you calm down. You're thinking too much. I can guarantee that Riveria and Ais are absolutely not spies for the Demon King's army. Don't worry."
"Really?"
"Absolutely." Emiya said with certainty.
"I see, it seems I misunderstood." Aqua finally relaxed, returning to her goddess-like demeanor and proudly puffing out her chest.
"You two were able to defeat a griffon and a manticore?
Good job."
Rivera smiled wryly. She had watched the anime and knew Aqua's identity. Although the other party was a bit dumb, she couldn't offend her, so she said thank you.
Ais saw that Rivera had said thank you, so she also said thank you. Then she went to ask Darkness for advice on how to allocate skill points for a Crusader.
Darkness was not stingy and gave Ais her best advice.
This small interlude passed just like that.
But Emiya didn't expect that a bigger conflict was still to come.
