Chapter 940 The Last Routine 119

Chapter 940 The Last Routine 119

Huihui looked at the large number of undead that had appeared on the plains of Axel town, laughed wildly and dramatically, and shouted, "Now that we're here, these mere undead won't get into town!"

"Huihui! Don't move, you'll fall down...!"

Youyou said this with a worried look on her face.

Kobayashi smirked and said to Huihui, whom he was carrying, with a hint of annoyance, "...You, trying to look cool on someone else's back, it's not convincing at all."

At that moment, the undead spotted Aqua on the outskirts of the town and roared as they ran toward her.

"Huh?!" Aqua panicked instantly, shouting, "Wait, why are they all coming here? Wait a minute, hey!!!"

However, the undead, lacking intelligence, would not heed Aqua's call. They were all creatures driven by instinct, and thus pounced on Aqua without hesitation.

"No!!! Help me—! Mr. Kobayashi!"

Aqua was pounced on and knocked to the ground by a large group of undead.

"Lady Aqua!?" Cecily, seeing her revered goddess attacked, especially by undead, shouted in uncontrollable rage, "Aaaah! They attacked Lady Aqua in a horde! They must be cultists from the Church of Eris!"

No, what does that have to do with it?

Kobayashi rolled her eyes.

The undead horde suddenly closed in on Axel, so Kobayashi and the others went to meet them, but—

"Oh oh oh————!"

"Damn it, there are still so many...! No matter how many we fight, we can't kill them all!"

Kobayashi said this with a sense of frustration, for reasons unknown. He hadn't expected the number of undead to be far greater than before, and even Kobayashi and the others were about to give up.

The other adventurers also looked exhausted, as if they were about to collapse. If this continued, the undead would really storm into Axel.

"Leave it to me...!"

Darkness suddenly rushed forward, spreading her arms wide and shouting, "Don't hold back, come at me! Swing your filthy bodies and surround me!"

"Don't do anything stupid, you idiot!"

Kobayashi tried to grab Darkness, but she managed to break free and charge towards the undead. Enraged, Kobayashi cursed, "Being attacked by so many undead is too much for even you...!"

Although Darkness's body was very tough, she was completely unable to fight back. She could only endure the attacks of the undead. Although the perverted female knight might enjoy this, she really couldn't be allowed to do anything reckless under these circumstances, since the town might be breached.

"give it to me!"

At that moment, Aqua stepped forward and shouted, "Holy Exorcism Purification—Waaaaaaa!!!"

"Roar roar roar————"

"Wait...! Don't come any closer! I'm still chanting! Wait until I finish chanting... Kobayashi, Kobayashi, please save me!!"

As Aqua released her holy light, the undead were drawn to her and rushed towards her, abruptly interrupting her chanting. This caused her to be surrounded by the undead once again, screaming in fear and calling for help from Kobayashi.

"You bastard, you did the same thing just now, didn't you?!" Kobayashi shouted angrily, yelling at the idiot goddess who was running away, "You little brat, learn your lesson, okay?!"

at this time--

"You hateful undead, have a taste of this!"

Cecily, who had disappeared without a trace, suddenly reappeared, carrying a large bathtub in her arms. She splashed the tub of water onto the horde of undead. Then, the undead, having been splashed with water, were quickly purified and vanished.

"Oh! Just splashing water wiped out the undead?!"

"Just who is that person?!"

"That's the cafe waitress! It must be the water from that bathtub; it holds some secret!"

The adventurers began to discuss it.

Suddenly, one of the adventurers seemed to realize something and exclaimed, "I say, isn't that the holy water sold in that café?!"

“Is this true?!”

"This can't be real, it's unbelievable! It's really that effective?!"

"It's amazing!"

The adventurers were in an uproar.

"Hmph hmph hmph...!" Cecily proudly puffed out her chest and said loudly, "This is precious holy water blessed by the Goddess of Water! Purifying mere undead is of course no problem!"

"Oh, it's the holy water we prepared, but we just can't sell it at all...!"

Kobayashi also suddenly realized what was happening.

“That’s right, that’s it!” Cecily exclaimed excitedly. “The reason those holy waters were unsold must have been for this moment! As expected of Lady Aqua, she thought of this long ago and prepared this on purpose, didn’t she?!”

"No, that's impossible no matter how you look at it. Besides, could you please say something else?"

Xiaolin pouted.

Cecily has become completely obsessed ever since she found out that Aqua is a goddess. Even though it was a coincidence, or even Kobayashi's arrangement, she still attributed all the credit to Aqua, which is really speechless.

"Ah, being jostled around by the undead..." Darkness walked over, her face flushed, and said with a look of relish, "This scene was just amazing!! No, I have to keep rushing in to enjoy it... no, I have to protect my companions!"

After saying that, she plunged back inside.

This guy really can't stand her, but it's precisely because Darkness attracts enough monsters that Kobayashi and the others have room to breathe. Most importantly—

"Alright, everyone!" Kobayashi shouted to the crowd, "Quickly splash them with holy water!"

"Oh oh oh—!" xN

The adventurers readily responded, taking the holy water Cecily had brought and splashing it at the undead who were closing in. The effect was quite significant. However, it wasn't enough.

Kobayashi then turned to the little girl who had just climbed off his back and said, "Megumin, I've already given you some magic power using the Absorption Touch. You should be able to do this little thing, right?"

"Alright...!" Feeling the surge of magic power within her, Megumin perked up immediately. She raised her wand high and shouted, "Undead, who linger between life and death, return to the underworld!"

Then she began chanting the incantation for the Explosion spell. Even though she had already mastered the technique to cast it instantly, she still had to chant the incantation every time. I really don't know what she was thinking.

Cecily continued to distribute holy water, saying to the adventurers, "You should be very grateful for the holy water from the Church of Axis... Watch me!"

Then he splashed the holy water in his hand at the undead.

"Oh oh oh————!"

"Oh wow, they were wiped out in one go!"

"That's amazing! I want to buy one and carry it with me when I go on adventures!"

"That's right, that's right! This way we can be sure we won't be harassed by the undead!"

Seeing the great success, the adventurers exclaimed in surprise. They seemed to plan to go back and help spread the word, and then take the opportunity to buy a few bottles of holy water from the Church of Axis to carry with them in case they were surrounded by the undead and helpless.

"Now, Aqua!"

Kobayashi shouted to Aqua, who was still running ahead with the undead and panting heavily, "The pursuers have been dealt with successfully. Let's give them the final blow!"

"Huff...huff...really!"

Seeing that there were no more undead behind her, Aqua stopped panting, wiping the beads of sweat from her forehead, and complained, "These mere undead dare to chase after a goddess like me! They're so arrogant!"

Then, she assumed a casting pose, pointing her hands at the undead, and shouted, "Go to Buddhahood! Super Holy Exorcism Purification!!!"

"Roar------!"

"Next up is... Requiem of the Gods!!!"

"Roar----!"

"Super Holy Exorcism Purification! Divine Requiem! Super Holy Exorcism Purification! Divine Requiem! Super Holy Exorcism Purification! Divine Requiem!... Flowers, Birds, Wind, and Moon!"

As Aqua continued to use purification magic, including some unnecessary spells, the undead who attacked Axel were all completely purified.

The next few days—

“I am truly grateful to everyone this time.” Cecily thanked Kobayashi and the others solemnly, and said with a smile, “Thanks to everyone, the church should not go bankrupt.”

"I was really worried about what would happen... but it seems things are finally over." Kobayashi was genuinely relieved; he really didn't know what he would have done if things hadn't been resolved. "And that holy water, I never expected it to be so popular."

After the holy water, capable of expelling the undead, demonstrated its powerful effects to many adventurers, many of them became wary of it. The fact that the Church of Axis was able to escape bankruptcy was not due to the coffee shop, but rather because it sold a large quantity of holy water.

Aqua said with a smile, "Because of that attack, everyone seems to be saying that this holy water is an essential item for preventing attacks from the undead."

"Yes."

"From this perspective, the undead attack might not be entirely a bad thing."

Aqua was quite happy.

"I really enjoyed myself this time," Darkness said, arms crossed and a blissful expression on his face. "It's the first time I've ever been surrounded by so many undead... It was amazing!"

“I have also repaid the favors owed to the Axis Cult, which is really great.”

Huihui said this with a hint of relief.

But was she serious? In the end, she didn't use explosion magic, nor did she properly entertain her guests. Did she really repay the favor? Kobayashi wanted to say that, but seeing that Cecily didn't mind, she didn't say anything more.

At this point, Cecily said, "The handling fee is 30%, right? After all, you've all helped me so much, so I'll give you a little more."

"oh oh!"

Kobayashi's eyes lit up. He hadn't expected Cecily to be so generous, and his opinion of the Axis cultists suddenly changed! ...No, she was probably giving more because of Aqua; otherwise, she would definitely have renege on her promise.

Then, Cecily took a small purse out of her bosom.

“Here, please accept this. There’s a 30% handling fee, and…” He then casually pulled out something that looked like a magazine and said, “It contains a catalog of valuable goods from the Axis Cult.”

"……Eh?"

"Soap, laundry detergent, pots and pans, and health foods—all the necessities for daily life are here! To thank everyone, I'm offering a special half-price discount—the standard price for worshippers!"

“Ahhhh————”

Kobayashi tore the catalog to shreds.

"Oh no, this is outrageous!" Cecily exclaimed excitedly upon seeing this. "Mr. Kobayashi, you tore up our precious catalog! I painstakingly compiled this catalog!"

"Um, may I bother you for a moment?" Youyou asked softly, "Because I helped out, I hope you can hear my request..."

Speaking of which, Youyou also helped out. Xiaolin and the others are never stingy with their help, so they indicated that she could speak up.

"A request? What request?"

"Um, well... I have a dream, which is to drink tea with someone in a coffee shop! So, Huihui! Let's have a cup of tea together!"

Youyou said this with extreme nervousness, then stared intently at Huihui, as if afraid that her request would be rejected.

Seeing this, Kobayashi and Aqua couldn't help but twitch their lips.

"I always feel that this request is rather sad..."

"Hehe, this little thing shouldn't be a problem, right, Huihui?"

Kobayashi indicated to Huihui that she should help her out.

Seeing him like this, Huihui sighed helplessly and said, "Sigh... I understand, as long as I drink tea, it'll be fine, right?"

“Thank you…”

Youyou was deeply moved.

However, to her utter surprise, Huihui picked up the coffee on the counter, tilted her head back, and drank it all in one gulp.

"Ah, I drank it too fast!"

"Pfft-!"

Huihui drank heartily, then said to Xiaolin and the others, "Alright, now that we've finished our tea, shouldn't we head back?"

"Waaaah...!" Youyou lowered her head, looking hurt, and said softly with a hint of grievance, "I really wanted to have tea with my friends..."

Seeing her like this, Huihui felt a little embarrassed and turned her head slightly away from her, saying, "I'll do that next time too."

"Megumin... Really...?!"

"Of course, we're friends, right?" Huihui said to Youyou with a smile. "Then I'll head back now. Please pay the bill."

"Huh...? Paying the bill...?"

Yoyo stared blankly at Huihui as she quickly disappeared from the coffee shop, then turned to Cecily with disbelief. Cecily, however, put her hands on her hips and said matter-of-factly, "You're no longer employees, so you can't eat and drink for free. Please pay for it."

"Eh eh eh————!"

A girl's pitiful screams echoed from the café.

With the income from the holy water, the church was quickly restored, and Aqua's holy water became a regular souvenir sold regularly.
