Chapter 792 Working Goddess 1
Ah, what peace!
It's great to not have to do anything and just enjoy the luxury of playing badly. It would be even better if nothing happened and the day ended peacefully. Living a stable life and being lazy is the highest level of playing badly.
I have decided not to do anything today. No matter who comes to see me, I will reject them outright. I will never leave the sofa in the mansion today! Absolutely not!
Just when Xiaolin had made up his mind——
"Mr. Lin~"
"Um……"
Stupid Aqua suddenly called him in a very charming voice. To be honest, even without asking what was going on, Kobayashi already had a bad feeling, so he pretended not to hear it, closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep.
But this Aqua kept calling in his ear, and her voice became more and more flattering, so fake that it made his scalp tingle.
"Mr. Lin~!"
"It's so noisy, don't bother me."
Kobayashi decisively rebuked the stupid goddess and told her to stay away from him and not to pass on her stupid aura to him.
"What?" Aqua pouted unhappily, "I just called you, why do you dislike me so much?"
"Because if I get involved with you, my peaceful daily life will immediately start to collapse, so you'd better stay away from me immediately, right now, and quickly, otherwise I might get excited and attack you."
"What do you mean?"
The stupid goddess who was driven away like a troublemaker immediately shouted unhappily and even moved closer to Kobayashi.
“That’s exactly what it means!” Xiaolin pushed her silly face and said as if begging her, “Anyway, I really want to be free now. If you have anything to do, go find Huihui or Darkness. Don’t bother me, okay?”
"about this……"
Aqua fiddled with her fingers awkwardly and whispered, "This is something I can only ask of you, Xiaolin."
"Okay, I get it. I refuse."
Xiaolin smiled and refused decisively.
Aqua yelled, "Wait, wait! I haven't said anything yet!"
"No matter what you request, it will undoubtedly take away my peaceful daily life, so no matter what it is, I will decisively refuse it." Kobayashi didn't listen to her.
"Well, what I want to say is, Xiaolin, you should no longer be troubled by money, right?"
"You all said I refused!"
"Haha, now that I've told you, you have no say over it!"
"What kind of perverse logic are you using? You are such a fool..."
Aqua actually turned a deaf ear to what Kobayashi said and continued the topic on her own, acting as if she was going to make her request no matter what. It was really hateful!
"Well, actually it's like this..."
"No, I won't listen! No, even if I heard it, I would never lend it to you! If your reason is anything else, let alone the debt of the tavern! How much money did you think I paid for you? Huh!? That's a huge amount of money that I can't pay back even if I sell you!"
Kobayashi covered his ears and shouted, while Aqua was so surprised that she didn't know what to say, with an expression as if she had been guessed.
It really is...
I couldn't help but twitch my lips. This stupid goddess always went out to drink and didn't pay the guild. If it weren't for my good name, which allowed this guy to get credit from the guild, he might have been kicked out of town long ago. Does this guy have any self-awareness in this regard?
Aqua pushed Xiaolin's shoulder, pleading with him, and coaxed him, "I say, stop being upset, just lend it to me... Xiaolin!"
"No."
"There's no time left. If I keep going like this, I'll be banned from the guild! I might not even be able to take on quests. If that happens, I'll definitely be kicked out of the guild and end up sleeping on the streets!"
The stupid goddess cried loudly.
Xiao Lin didn't have the slightest bit of sympathy, and even tapped her forehead hard, cursing, "You deserve this, idiot! Every time I lend you money, you don't pay it back. Am I your ATM? You should figure out how to deal with this little money yourself!"
"I just came to ask you for help because I couldn't solve it!"
This guy actually said this so confidently. Did it really prove the saying that the one who owes money is the boss? ... Wait, didn't she borrow the money yet?
"Ugh……"
Xiao Lin sighed heavily and said helplessly: "I'm telling you, before borrowing money, can't you make a little money on your own? Whether it's an extraordinary talent show or your ability to purify all undead, as a high priest you should be able to do a lot of convenient tasks, right? Or simply, you can become a construction worker."
"No, no, the debt repayment date is just around the corner. I don't have that much time to slowly earn money!"
Aqua always gets anxious only when things are extremely urgent. This time, she must have spent money like water without considering the money at all. When the guild issued the notice, she became at a loss and finally had to come here to borrow money...
"Besides, if this continues, Xiaolin will also..."
"Hmm? Me too?"
This guy suddenly said something that made Xiaolin feel strange.
"what……"
"what?"
"Well, I'll go find a job..."
"Okay, just sit there for now."
Seeing that Aqua was about to run away, Kobayashi held her shoulders and forced her to sit on the ground without moving. Such a rough move made the stupid goddess scream.
"Wait, wait a minute! Why are you doing this to me? I haven't said anything yet!"
"So be it."
Xiao Lin ignored her complaints and continued, "If you are confident that what you want to say next will not make me angry, then you can stand. If not..."
"Sorry, I'd better sit upright..."
Aqua lowered her head decisively.
That meant that this guy must have done something terrible. Kobayashi looked at her with a headache. This stupid goddess always caused him a lot of trouble and always implicated him. He had to clean up her mess.
Sigh deeply.
"Okay, so what do you want to say? Go ahead."
"That's it... about the money owed by the tavern... I gave some assurances to the people in the tavern... this... that..."
The stupid goddess stuttered when speaking.
Not only that, her eyes were constantly looking around, and she looked very guilty.
Xiao Lin pulled the corner of his mouth and said, "So, what did you promise?"
"She said that in the worst case scenario, Kobayashi can just pay the debt... or something like that." Aqua lowered her head even more guiltily.
"That is to say——"
Xiao Lin still smiled, but a black flame ignited behind him, "You used me as a guarantor to eat and drink in the tavern, right?"
“That should be the case…”
Aqua kept stirring with her index fingers, lowering her head and not daring to look at Kobayashi at all.
"Hey, idiot."
"Are you calling me?"
"Fool."
“…Wha, what is it?”
"Fool."
"So, what's going on?"
"Fool."
"Um, Mr. Kobayashi..."
"Fool!"
"This name is really hurtful, so please stop saying it, I beg you..."
"Fool!"
"Woo, woo, stop it..."
"Idiot! Idiot!! Idiot!!!"
Kobayashi tapped the stupid goddess' head hard with his hand, and then cursed at the stupid goddess loudly.
At this time, the team members came back.
"Xiao Lin, you'd better stop this mental attack."
"What? You're back."
It’s Megumin and Darkness.
“Although I heard about this on the way.” Darkness looked at the stupid goddess who was kneeling, sighed helplessly and said: “Aqua, I really can’t take sides with you this time.”
"Then what should I do..."
Aqua said this while crying.
Darkness said as a matter of course, “Why don’t you just bow your head and ask for an extension of payment? Do it in Kobayashi’s name, or in my name if that doesn’t work. That way you’ll have plenty of time to work and earn money.”
"But I have already done this method three times!"
"Eh?"
“Let’s not talk about Krillin and Darkness, even Megumin’s reputation has been used up.”
“Is this true?!”
This time, not only Krillin and Darkness, but even Huihui looked at the stupid goddess dumbfounded, groaning with a headache.
"So there's no way out, right?"
"Okay, all of you gather together."
Xiaolin said this suddenly.
Aqua asked with tears in her eyes: "What's going on? What's the matter?"
"Aqua, you don't have to come over."
"Hey, why did you exclude me alone? That's too much!"
"Never mind! Just sit here and wait!"
Kobayashi held down the stupid goddess who wanted to get up, preventing her from coming over to talk with him and the others. Then, he, Huihui and Darkness came to another room in the mansion.
"Speaking of which, where's Youyou?"
"She said she was going back to her hometown and she won't be around for the last few days."
"Is that so?"
Kobayashi breathed a sigh of relief. After all, Youyou was the easiest person to be deceived in the team. If Aqua borrowed money in the name of a friend or asked Youyou to help pay back the money, Youyou would definitely not refuse.
Since she's not here -
"Well, you already know that if you keep going like this, I'll have to pay her the money she owes."
"After all, the debt collector has come to you."
Darkness said so.
“What should we do?” Huihui also felt that this situation was difficult to deal with, and said with a headache: “If you help pay, I think Aqua will be the same as before and won’t reflect on it at all, right?”
“That’s what I mean…”
After all, Aqua was used to Kobayashi paying back the money whenever she owed money. As long as she cried, she could spend money lavishly again, and even if she was scolded or punished, it would not be too serious. It was a completely profitable method.
and so……
Xiao Lin nodded seriously and said, "It's almost time for that guy to learn to clean up his own ass."
“It’s just like educating a child.” Darkness smiled helplessly. “Well, it’s a bit harsh to say that to Aqua, but she is really no different from a child.”
Xiaolin fell into deep thought.
If I help her pay back the money, Aqua will definitely not reflect on her actions and will continue to do the same thing next time. She might even get worse and cause even bigger trouble.
But if they just leave it alone, the debt will undoubtedly come to Xiaolin, not to mention that Aqua has used their names to delay the repayment. If they are labeled as deadbeats, they will really have trouble staying in Axel.
Huihui couldn't help but sigh.
"Xiao Lin, I think there will be trouble anyway, right?"
"that's true."
The Red Demons were very intelligent and immediately spotted Kobayashi's current dilemma. No matter they helped or not, Kobayashi himself would be the one who would suffer in the end.
"But I don't think it's good to spoil her too much."
“It’s a little difficult to weigh the pros and cons.”
"Really... there's really nothing we can do about her."
Kobayashi was a little rude and had no idea what to do with the troublesome goddess who had escaped. Under the pitying and sympathetic gazes of his companions, he opened the door to the living room again.
"Hey, Aqua!"
“What are you doing…”
"Go find a good job now."
"Eh? Work...won't you lend me money?"
After hearing what Kobayashi said, Aqua was a little confused. This guy was really taking advantage of Kobayashi, and the way he looked at Kobayashi made her even more infuriating.
"Are you stupid? You must make money yourself!" Xiaolin pointed at the stupid goddess who didn't understand what was going on and shouted, "However, as a teammate, I can help you find a suitable job!"
"But, but! Any job that can pay off the debt in a short period of time is very strenuous!"
Aqua was very reluctant.
Indeed, if you want to earn enough money in a short period of time, there is no other way except to work hard or do difficult work. And Aqua obviously doesn't want to work so hard, but Kobayashi will not let her do what she wants this time.
"I've already told you that this is all your own fault! Be prepared and work hard!"
"No, no... I don't want to work...!!!"
"Is this the time to be willful? Well, let's go!"
“Megumin, Darkness! Save me!”
The stupid goddess who was being dragged away kept calling for help from the two companions behind her, hoping that they could help her. However, the two of them just smiled slightly and looked at her with encouragement and sympathy.
“This is also a good opportunity to re-examine the act of labor.”
"I wish you a good job, Aqua."
"Anyway..."
"come on."
“————Why is this happening!!!”
Aqua screamed with tears in her eyes, and then she was forcibly dragged out of the mansion by Kobayashi to find a job that could make money.
