Chapter 794 Working Goddess 2
"I'm not calling myself that. I'm a real goddess, okay!" Aqua was very unhappy with Xiaolin's words. At the same time, she turned her head to look at the laughing Duke of Hell and said with disdain: "Also, working in a lich's shop, don't joke about it!"
"This is what I want to say!" Vanir's expression immediately turned gloomy. He glared at the stupid goddess and yelled, "I already have a useless shopkeeper. If you give me another stupid priest, I can't stand it!"
"Huh!? Who are you talking about?"
Aqua was about to argue with Vanir, but was quickly pulled back by Wiz who came running over.
"Alright, alright, both of you, please calm down. Don't quarrel casually, or the goods in the store will be damaged. I beg you!"
She was more concerned about the appearance of the merchandise than the quarrel.
Seeing this, Xiaolin rolled his eyes helplessly and taught a lesson: "Aqua, stop provoking others casually, we are not here to quarrel. You mad dog goddess, will you die if you restrain yourself a little?"
"Hmph!" Aqua snorted disdainfully, as if she was not going to argue with Vanir for Kobayashi's sake, and Vanir also snorted.
Are these two people children?
“Um…” Wiz also reacted at this time and asked in a low voice: “So, Aqua-sama wants to find a job, right?”
"Yes."
Xiao Lin spoke for the stupid goddess who was unwilling to bow her head. He sighed slightly and said, "If possible, try to find a job that can make a lot of money in a short period of time. It doesn't matter if it's hard work, dangerous work, or dirty work. As long as you can make money, just come on."
He had already made up his mind to let Aqua earn money to pay off the debt, so he could only choose jobs that paid well and had no room for pick and choose.
But Aqua was very reluctant.
"Wait a minute, Xiaolin, what are you talking about!" She shouted, "It does matter, it definitely matters! How can I let a goddess do dirty and tiring work? I will never do such a job even if I die!"
"Shut up, useless goddess! Is this something you can be picky about? Can you please make your position clear to me? Besides, you used to be a construction worker, and you also built walls and worked as a bricklayer. You didn't seem to be reluctant to sleep in the stable."
"this is……!"
Aqua moved her lower lip and had no way to refute. In the past, she had worked illegally in order to survive, and she even got to know many of the contractors in the town. But now she still acted like a goddess, which was so funny.
“How’s it going, Wiz?” Xiaolin ignored the gloomy-faced stupid goddess and looked at the witch and asked, “Can you let her work here?”
There are two purposes for having Aqua work here.
One is that being a waitress can earn a good salary, and Wiz and Vanir will never treat her badly no matter what.
The second is Aqua’s identity as the high priest. Usually when there is a special task, people in the town will come to ask Wiz to do it. Now that Wiz is busy with the store, Aqua can do it for him and charge a fee.
Honestly speaking, you can doubt Aqua's duties as a goddess and her brain, but you can never doubt her work as a priest. As the nemesis of the undead, she will definitely be able to do the corresponding job well.
Wiz was a kind-hearted person and had no reason to refuse, but she was still a little hesitant.
"I don't mind. It's great that Lady Aqua can help, but Lady Aqua's own wish is..."
"...Sure, it's not impossible for me to work here, but I can't guarantee your lives. The divine power I exude might inadvertently purify you two filthy undeads!"
Aqua said this arrogantly, and I couldn't figure out whether she was here to apply for a job or to cause trouble.
Barnil also looked at her unkindly and snorted, "Oh, what an interesting statement. How far can a fledgling priest go?"
"Of course, I will work hard. However, I might accidentally purify some undead and damn demons due to some unexpected accidents." There was a sense of danger in Aqua's smile. This guy obviously had no intention of working hard.
I really can't stand her.
Wiz was also a little scared. She tugged at Xiaolin's clothes and whispered, "Um... Mr. Xiaolin, I think this may not work. I can't be purified yet, so..."
“That’s true… I’m sorry for making such a strong request, Wiz.”
Xiaolin scratched his head in distress.
He ignored Wiz's feelings. She was a weak Lich Girl who was originally on the weaker side. If Aqua really went crazy, Wiz might have to go see Eris. That couldn't be allowed to happen.
In addition, Aqua and Vanir really don't get along. If the two of them start fighting, let alone making money, it would be considered good if they don't have to compensate for the loss of damaged goods.
"Forget it. Thanks for your help, Wiz."
"No, no, I'm here. I'm so sorry. I'm sorry that I couldn't help you, Mr. Kobayashi."
Wiz, she really... I cried to death.
They were the ones who came to ask for help, but after Wiz failed to help, she took the blame on herself. She is the real goddess! On the other hand——
Kobayashi looked at the stupid goddess who was arguing with Vanir and said unhappily, "Hey, stop barking at others, stupid Aqua, let's go."
"Before you leave, wait until I expel this pest!"
"Okay, let's go! Finding a job is the top priority right now, okay!?"
Krillin held down the frantic Aqua's shoulders and forcibly dragged her away from Wiz's magic item shop. At this time, Vanir raised his hands as if he had won and cheered loudly.
"Well, if you can't find a job, you're welcome to come back! I will prepare a suitable job for this useless novice priest who calls herself a goddess!"
"If you want to drive away the pests, I can accept it for free, right?"
"Okay! So, go find a job quickly!"
Kobayashi left the magic tool shop with Wiz's farewell and came to the streets of Axel. Looking at the stupid goddess who seemed a little unhappy and wanted to go back and fight with Vanir, he sighed helplessly.
"Really? You... do you really know where you stand now? You're in a critical situation now, and you're still arguing with Vanir. Are you serious?"
"I know, of course I'm serious! After all, I'm a goddess, and that guy is a devil, how can I possibly have a good relationship with him?"
"No, that's not it."
Xiaolin covered his face in pain. The stupid goddess was sometimes so stubborn that it was difficult to get her to accept the undead. If she accepted the undead's favor, it would be even more difficult to accept than killing her.
"I say, Xiaolin, are you an idiot? Are you a fool pretending to be smart? It's really unreasonable for a goddess like me to work in a lich's shop!"
"The good-for-nothing goddess who owes a huge debt due to excessive eating, drinking and having fun is the most unreasonable one, okay? Listen carefully, because Wiz is a lich, she is best at solving some strange tasks, so most of the work will be gathered here. Do you know what that means?"
"……what?"
"It means you can take on a job like that! Then you can complete a large amount of work in a short period of time and earn enough to pay back the money you owe. Do you understand?!"
"what……"
Aqua suddenly woke up. She seemed to realize what Kobayashi meant. She looked at him pleadingly as if she wanted to compromise. However, Kobayashi would not let her go. Because he really thought too simply. Want Vanir and Aqua to coexist peacefully? It's wishful thinking! These two people, even if they stay together for less than 30 seconds, will start fighting!
"Mr. Kobayashi! Please wait a moment!"
When the two were about to go find a new job, Wiz chased them out of the magic item shop and called out to them.
Aqua asked curiously, "Did you leave anything behind?"
"I don't remember..." Xiaolin said to her: "Aqua, wait here for a moment, I'll go take a look."
"it is good."
"Don't run away just because you hate your job. If you run away, I won't care whether you live or die, and I won't help you pay back the money you owe me."
"I won't run away! Don't you just trust me?"
"Well……"
Xiao Lin curled his lips.
It was precisely because Aqua was a repeat offender who always slipped away quietly and pushed the mess onto himself that he didn't trust Aqua so much. If it were Darkness and the others, he wouldn't even have to worry about it... No, he wouldn't have owed the money from the beginning.
Aqua shuddered as she was being stared at.
"Eh? Eh? You really don't believe it? No, it's okay. I won't run away."
This guy, the more he says this, the more disturbing it becomes.
Forget it. If she really escaped, we could just catch her back. Where else in Axel could she be sheltered? Just think about it and you know where to find her. After feeling relieved, Kobayashi came to Wiz.
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong, Wiz?"
"I'm sorry to stop you. I forgot to give you something, Mr. Kobayashi. Here, this is it."
"Is this... a design drawing for clothes?"
Xiao Lin was slightly stunned.
He was used to getting the design drawings of the clothes from the other party, but the number of times the stone tablet could be used had been used up, and the man in black robe had been caught, so he couldn't use it at all...
As if seeing Xiaolin's doubt, Wiz nodded and said, "I saw it by chance at the market a few days ago, and thought it might be useful to Mr. Xiaolin, so I bought it. If it can help you, that would be great."
"Oh, this is really a good time!" Xiaolin's face showed obvious joy, and he said, "Once we make this dress, we can sell it for money. This way, Aqua's debt will be..."
Having said that, he paused.
Suddenly I thought of something. Is this really okay? Of course, making this dress is the easiest way, and the money earned can easily pay off Aqua's debt, but...
"Mr. Xiaolin?"
“Ah, ahh… Thank you, Wiz. That’s a huge help.”
Kobayashi came back to his senses and thanked her.
Wiz patted his chest in relief and said, "That's great. I saw your complicated expression just now, and I thought I had done something unnecessary."
"That's not the case. You've always taken good care of me." Xiao Lin looked at the parchment clothing design in his hand and asked, "By the way, how much did you spend on this? I'll reimburse you."
"You're too polite." Wiz shook her head and said, "It's me. I've always been grateful for Mr. Kobayashi's care, so I'll take this as a thank you."
The kind and well-meaning Lich Lady offered to give this useful clothing design away for free. She is really a good person.
"I see... I'm sorry, but I'll use it with gratitude."
"Please."
Wiz said this with a smile, and then said, “Well, I’ll go back to the store first.”
"Ah, I'll come again next time."
Xiaolin and Wiz say goodbye.
Then he looked at the parchment in his hand and fell into deep thought.
“Okay, what should I do with this clothing design… It would be easy to use it to pay off Aqua’s debt, but then she still won’t repent. After all, even if I don’t use this, I can still help her pay off the debt. The problem is that she will definitely fall into the same old mistakes again after that…”
After thinking for a long time, Xiaolin still couldn't figure out what to do. Finally, he decided to put it aside for the time being. If he really couldn't find a suitable job, he would use this thing to solve the problem.
Back to the stupid goddess.
"Sorry to have kept you waiting."
"That doesn't matter. What did you get from that lich? As my believer and follower, you got some items from the lich. As a goddess, I can't just pretend I didn't see it."
"Who are your believers and followers?"
Xiaolin couldn't help but refute her.
Aqua didn't care, instead she said helplessly: "But now is an emergency, it would be nice if I could give you something to pay you back."
This goddess, doesn't she have any self-respect...
"Hey, Xiaolin, what did you get?"
"nothing……"
Xiao Lin didn't want to dwell on this further, so he said, "Come to think of it, I heard that despite your appearance, you are quite skillful with your hands, right?"
"Well, I am indeed a little confident in my handicraft, but no matter what appearance means, Kobayashi, you always say something extra. It really makes people feel uncomfortable." Aqua snorted.
"I don't want you to say that."
Xiao Lin made a noise, but quickly said: "So, since you are so handy, why don't you use it to make money?"
"What are you talking about? Haven't you made a lot of money so far?" Aqua looked at him in confusion and said, "Haven't you done side jobs like making flowers and milk cartons?"
Yes, this girl has indeed done a lot of work like this. Some time ago, she asked her to help her pack the flowers into boxes in the evening, although she was always reluctant to give up the flowers she made.
