Chapter 618 The Noisy Axis Cultist

"Senior Kobayashi, let's hold a festival for the goddess Aqua."

"...What happened to you suddenly?"

When Kobayashi was injecting magic into Aqua's egg, Sato Kazuma suddenly came up to him and said this.

They have been very busy these days.

In the morning, I went out to fight monsters, and at noon, I started running around preparing for the festival.

Xiao Lin didn't have much interest in expelling monsters, but he couldn't stand the pleadings of other male adventurers, so he had to help expel the cicadas that disturbed the people.

But Kazuma Sato, who said yesterday that he would not fund Aqua's festival, suddenly changed his tune the next day.

"Sato-kun, what's wrong with you?"

"Senior Xiaolin, don't you think summer goes better with swimsuits?"

"……What?"

"I heard that the festival is the hottest time of the year, so in order to prevent heat stroke, we decided to splash water everywhere, but it would be over if the women on the street vendors wore ordinary casual clothes to work. After being splashed with water, we were soaked. It would be very bad if your underwear is exposed, right? But if you are wearing a swimsuit at this time, you won’t be afraid of others seeing it.”

Kazuma Sato promoted his ideas seriously.

Is this guy a genius, or is he just a pervert? How did he come up with this idea?

"In short, you are doing it for your own selfish desires..."

"That's not it! I'm here for everyone!"

Sato Kazuma slapped the table.

I heard from him that the officials of the Chamber of Commerce wanted to stimulate consumption and increase this year's turnover, so they asked him for advice when they had no other way. The advice given by Sato Kazuma was to gather a large group of fair-skinned, beautiful and long-legged female adventurers to sell in front of vendors in swimsuits.

Normally, Axel's guards would not allow this, even if they wanted to do it very much, they would not be allowed to do it.

However, at this time, all he had to do was make an excuse and say that he would bring Goddess Aqua with him.

Aqua is the goddess of water, so I have to let her play in the water when I hold a festival, so it’s okay to wear a swimsuit if you don’t want your clothes to get wet while playing in the water, right?

He came up with great crooked ideas.

Xiao Lin touched his chin and said: "In other words, everyone else in the Chamber of Commerce has agreed, so if it's settled like this, why do you still need to discuss it with me? You can do it without me, right?"

"No, actually you still need to sign this thing."

Sato Kazuma took out a list.

It says [Summary of the Thank-You Festival for Goddess Aqua to Prevent Heatstroke], and it contains a lot of good things about Goddess Aqua and the benefits of holding this banquet.

"Honestly, if I gave it to Darkness, she would definitely notice that I had ulterior motives. But if it was Kobayashi-senpai, then there would be no problem."

"You guy...have you even taken advantage of me?"

Xiao Lin twitched the corner of his mouth.

Seeing Sato and Mana's pleading eyes, he finally relented.

"I understand, I will tell Darkness."

"Thank you so much, Senior Xiaolin!"

Sato Kazuma cheered, and then he went to find Aqua, deciding to convey the good news to her.

If Darkness and Megumin still think that Sato Kazuma has ulterior motives, but the idiot goddess knows that Sato Kazuma can help her organize the festival, then she will definitely choose to agree without thinking.

And what follows is not only this, but also a petition for a fireworks display and a plan for a costume parade.

It might have taken a lot of effort for Kazuma Sato to ask Darkness himself, but if he asked for all the proposals through Kobayashi, he would be allowed to ask for them, so he shouted that it was unfair.

As for this kind of thing, Xiao Lin is actually not too worried.

First of all, Sato Kazuma has rich experience in organizing festivals. He organized almost every Alice concert in Aincrad. Secondly, there are two goddesses, several braves, and countless others in this town. A high-level adventurer, no matter who comes to stir up trouble, he has to think carefully; he also wants to enjoy this last festival.

I've been fighting for a lifetime, what's wrong with enjoying it?

Soon after, the day of the festival finally arrived.

"Dear residents of Axel who have been looking forward to this day for a long time, are you all ready? Now I announce that the thanksgiving ceremony for the goddesses Eris and Aqua has officially begun!"

"Oh oh oh!!!" xN

The announcement of the start of the event from the amplifying magic tool resounded throughout the town. At the same time, various magics flew into the sky as if to celebrate the beginning of the festival, and cheers echoed on the ground that were as effective as the magic.

The ceremony was held successfully.

With the Dustinis family and Sato Kazuma investing all their money, this year's festival should be a grander one than usual. Aqua's face was filled with a happy smile, and she ran out early in the morning. Crazy fun.

Sato Kazuma was also sleeping because he had been busy for several days and played games all night last night.

When Xiaolin went downstairs, he saw Huihui and Youyou getting ready to go out.

Youyou couldn't find anyone to accompany her at this rare festival. Megumi, out of sympathy for her childhood sweetheart, decided to enjoy these few days with her.

As for Darkness, who has not come back since last night, she is a member of the Dustiness family. She has gradually accepted the job of being the head of the family and has begun to help lighten the burden on the family.

Maybe one day he will have to call Darkness "Sir".

Because the festival lasted for three days, Xiaolin was not in a hurry at all. He had decided to accompany Ryuko today, so he turned down many invitations, including the stupid goddess.

When he came to the street, he found that there were many people in the town.

A large banner was hung at the entrance of Axel Street, with the words "Thanksgiving Festival for Goddess Eris" written on it in large letters, and "Thanksgiving Festival for Goddess Aqua" was written on the side.

"Hey, didn't Sato-kun pay?"

Normally, if Sato Kazuma paid, there should be words of the same size. Could it be that the people of the Eris Church deliberately made trouble?

Xiaolin frowned slightly.

At this time, Ryuko said: "Xiaolin, don't you know the nature of Sato Kazuma? That person will never spend money if he doesn't need to spend money, so I guess he must have borrowed money from the Eris Church."

"Yes, yes..."

Xiaolin thought of his nature.

However, in order to confirm the situation, he still went to the division where the Axis believers were.

The main road in the commercial district, which is usually very busy, is now even more crowded, filled with adventurers, ordinary civilians, merchants and other people of all identities.

There are stalls everywhere.

There is a commotion everywhere.

"Agar slime powder, a drink as delicious as jelly, agar slime powder!"

"Edible soap! A specialty of the Axis Church, edible soap!"

"Hot spring buns, fresh hot spring buns!"

If this was not Axel's scenery, he would have thought he had come to Alcanretia. How come these guys are still like this in a different place? Why are edible soaps like that?

Just when Xiaolin was looking disgusted and wanted to leave.

There was some commotion ahead.

"Selling such strange things without verification will cause us trouble. Why do you Axis believers always like to cause trouble!"

"It's too rude to say such a strange thing! Lady Aqua finally came up with this store, but you want to find fault with it!"

It was Cecily who had a dispute with others, and the target was the guards.

Kobayashi stepped forward and said, "What are you doing? I asked you to liven up the atmosphere of the festival, not to quarrel with others, but you had to quarrel with the guards?"

"Kobayashi!"

"Kobayashi, you are here!"

It was Guards A and B who had not been seen for a long time. Even though it has been so long, these two people are still guards, and it is estimated that they will never be promoted.

"Hey, what are you looking at! We are no longer guards!"

"That's right, we just came to help because we don't have enough manpower!"

The two shouted aggrievedly.

As soon as Cecily saw Kobayashi, she ran over and complained, "Mr. Kobayashi, you're just in time! Listen, these two men came here to pick a fight and told us not to do business!"

"Who picked a fight!"

"Who would allow you to sell such weird things!"

What are they arguing about?

Kobayashi raised his eyebrows and subconsciously looked at the big basin of water sold by the vendors. There were many tadpoles swimming in it. They were a bit too big for tadpoles. But considering the situation in this world, even insects are about the same size as puppies, so there is nothing strange about it.

But the problem is that these are tadpoles of giant toads.

"Hey, Cecily, you..."

"Listen to me, Mr. Kobayashi! Aqua said that when it comes to festivals, people will think of scooping goldfish, but I don't know what scooping goldfish is, but I have tried hard to find a way to reproduce it. Because I can't find wild goldfish, I will use tadpoles. But after setting up the stall..."

As she said this, she looked at Kobayashi with a headache, as if asking him to find a way to solve the current situation.

No, no, no, what's the point of catching giant tadpoles? Do you want to take them home to raise?

Guard A said: "Xiao Lin..."

"Well, pour the insecticide in." Xiao Lin nodded.

Cecily quickly stopped him and shouted: "Stop, don't destroy my stall! Aqua said that Xiao Lin will definitely feel nostalgic and happy. You also like to catch goldfish! Aqua is all for you!"

"Hey..."

Xiao Lin was actually a little touched. What's going on?

But soon he added, "I really like catching goldfish, and it's a very special activity at the festival, but who wants to catch such strange things! Releasing them will only make them multiply and cause trouble to others. If you don't want to be responsible for expelling them, just throw them away!"

"Hehehe——"

Cecily proudly puffed out her chest and said, "Do you think this is the only stall that Akusis is proud of? Look, we gathered all the Akusis believers in the town, and everyone racked their brains to come up with this idea!"

She pointed behind her, where there were more than 30 stalls of various types.

There were unexpectedly many customers visiting the stalls, and it felt quite noisy. That's right, even though these people have problems with their brains, they still work very hard.

However——

"Do you want to eat grilled sea monsters! Made from sea monsters that haven't grown up yet, very rare grilled sea monsters! Very delicious!"

Sea monsters? !

You know, sea monsters are very dangerous, selling grilled sea monsters...

Kobayashi was stunned for a moment, walked over and saw that it was just grilled squid.

"Hey, this is grilled squid..."

"What are you talking about? You haven't eaten a real sea monster. This is a roasted sea monster, absolutely true! Akusis guarantees you!"

There is less and less integrity.

On the other side.

"Come on, this is the Strange Fish Museum. There are wonderful creatures caught by a brave Akusis believer. They are mermaid cubs. Come and see!"

Mermaid?

Xiaolin has never seen a mermaid before.

He walked over to take a look.

"What a joke, isn't there just an ordinary big fish in it?"

"Didn't I say it was a mermaid cub?"

"That should be a little mermaid!"

Xiaolin's forehead was bulging with veins.

Arguing with these brain-disordered guys was a waste of words. Xiaolin took Liu Zi out of the aquarium without any results. There was a vendor in front.

"Do you want to play a shooting game? If you successfully hit the target's forehead, you can get a luxurious prize!"

Hey, there shouldn't be any problem with this.

Although the muzzle of the gun was suspected to be tilted to the left, this is also one of the fun of the festival. You can't let the vendors make some money.

However, when Xiaolin walked in, he saw that the target for archery was actually the statue of the goddess Eris!

"Hey! You are too much. How can anyone blaspheme the goddess Eris to this extent!"

Before Xiaolin could reprimand him, the guests around him had already exploded.

But this Akusis cultist turned the tables and said, "Tsk, the Eris cultists have already come to disturb us on the first day of the festival! Mr. Guard, come here, come here quickly! Take the Eris cultists away!"

But when the guards came, they arrested the Akusis cultists instead.

There were even many vendors who had been forcibly removed.

"... What are these people doing?"

Xiaolin couldn't help but complain.

Walking a few steps forward, he suddenly saw Aqua selling things, but she was not selling food but pets, lizards.

The stupid goddess was trying hard to sell goods to a child.

"Big sister, is this really a dragon?"

"Yes, of course it is a real dragon. It is popular in the Axis Church to raise dragons now. One only costs 500 Eris. Come on, buy one too."

A lizard pretending to be a dragon is sold for 500 Eris?

"Five hundred Eris... that's all my pocket money. If I buy this, I can't buy anything else. And I think they're almost the same as lizards."

"Is that so? That's a shame. But then, these kids won't be able to sell them. Of course, the unsold dragons won't be released back into the wild because it's too dangerous. I think they'll be euthanized. These kids are so pitiful..."

"What!? How could that be? They're just ordinary lizards. Can't they just be released somewhere?"

"What are you talking about? These are real dragons! Don't you want to buy them? For their sake, don't you really want to buy them now? Don't regret it. No, you will regret it! Oh my God, these poor little dragons are going to be euthanized."

Hearing Aqua say this, the child was about to cry. He tremblingly took out his only five hundred Eris pocket money and wanted to save a poor little lizard.

At this time, Xiaolin had already appeared behind the stupid goddess and hit her on the back of her head with a knife.

"It hurts!"

"If you lie to the kids again, I'll sell your eggs!"

After teaching Aqua a lesson, he gave the kid a lizard and left with the stupid goddess.
