Early the next morning.
“What did you say?!”
“Able to cause earthquakes that trigger tsunamis just by spreading their arms? Super marine soldiers, who treat warships like punching bags? And monsters capable of triggering volcanic eruptions, freezing glaciers, and wielding laser cannons?! After hearing Icey’s introduction to the powerful figures of the pirate world, Aqua pressed her head with both hands, her clear pupils dimmed, and she was scared into an expressionless state on the spot.
“Isn’t this supposed to be a weak world? Why does it sound scarier than those otherworlds where they conquer demon kings?!”
“Strong figures of the same level are far more numerous than what I’ve described.” Icey mercilessly dealt her a blow.
In reality, it was indeed so. Just like Red-Haired Shanks and these newly emerging forces, it wouldn’t be long before they stood at the pinnacle of the world.
Not to mention the Revolutionary Army Dragon, the Five Elder Stars, and the King of the World Im, these powerful figures of unknown strength!
“Ahhh! As a partner like you, wouldn’t this goddess be smashed into skin fragments in a matter of minutes?!” Aqua’s twisted and cute face was filled with despair.
The previously relaxed and cheerful feeling of a “paid vacation” shattered.
Being looked down upon by a foolish goddess like this, Icey’s gaze suddenly turned cold. “Indeed, it’s probably safer to sell you to bandits to recoup some losses.”
“Don’t! Don’t! Although I am a noble and supremely sacred goddess, I definitely won’t fetch much money!” Aqua became even more panicked, shaking her head frantically, completely not questioning the truth of Icey’s words.
Her iconic aquamarine long hair fluttered along with her actions.
Seeing her so unreservedly acknowledging herself, Icey couldn’t help but smile inwardly. “You’re quite self-aware.”
“Damn it! You’re lying to me!” Aqua was furious.
After silence, she calmed down and proposed to Icey, “Or, let’s just stay in this safe village obediently.”
As Icey had guessed when summoning Aqua to this dimension, her power as a goddess hadn’t fully recovered yet, and her best skill of undead purification was useless in this world.
The only thing she could somewhat use was magic chanting comparable to a flood.
But it seemed to have little advantage in the face of natural disasters like tsunamis and volcanic eruptions.
Not to mention the individuals with terrifying abilities, who also had monstrous bodies that could fight tirelessly for seven days and nights (if Icey wasn’t lying)!
“In fact, you don’t need to worry too much. Those monsters are basically gathered in the unpredictable New World, far away from the East Blue where we are now.” Seeing Aqua so frightened, Icey couldn’t help but reassure her.
“Rest assured, I’m very familiar with this world. You’re my summoned partner, and I won’t let you lose your life no matter what.”
Hearing this, the simple-minded Aqua felt much more at ease, moved to tears by these words.
“Icey, you really are a good person!” Ignoring her sudden emotional shift, Icey said earnestly, “So, as partners who share honor and disgrace, I entrust you with the debt owed to the bandits on my back.”
“…” Are you asking me to repay the debt with you?!!
Aqua was momentarily stunned during her emotional turmoil, her clear pupils filled with great confusion.
“Uh? Who are you, friend? Why do you look a bit familiar? Have we met somewhere?”
“Pretending not to recognize me, huh? Then go ahead, go get your head smashed by the Four Emperors, get crushed into minced meat by the Navy Admiral, and then be thrown into the sea to feed the fish.”
Icey, who had long guessed that this person would pretend to be crazy, remained calm.
“Ah, ahaha, geez, Icey, you’re really slow, aren’t you? Can’t you tell I’m just joking?” Aqua scratched her head, grinning shamelessly.
Fortunately, the restaurant’s door was slowly pushed open, and several customers walked in from outside, breaking the awkward atmosphere.
“Boss, the usual, three portions of fried dough sticks and soy milk.”
It’s those three carpenters from yesterday.
As they spoke and walked, they lifted their heads just in time to see Aqua, who was wearing a blue feather robe and had a stunning appearance.
The three of them were stunned on the spot, synchronously rubbing their eyes as if just waking up.
After confirming that this was not a dream or illusion, they couldn’t help but exclaim, “What? A super cute beauty?!”
“What beauty? You guys are really rude, I am the goddess revered by the Aquacises Sect, the water goddess Aqua!”
Aqua pushed aside the strands of hair falling on her forehead, hands on her hips, with a proud and confident smile on her lips.
“Aqua…Sect?”
“The goddess of water??”
The three carpenters blinked in confusion.
“Cough cough, this guy is my distant cousin, called Aqua.” Icey coughed lightly, offering a more reasonable explanation.
He didn’t want to explain Aqua’s identity too much.
Seeing the three men looking at Aqua with astonishment, Icey stepped forward and came to them, quietly adding, “As you can see, her head is a bit abnormal.”
The three carpenters immediately responded with a look of “we understand.” Oh, I see!
“Um, are you the great goddess of the Aquacises Sect?”
“Aqua-sama, we’ve finally met you! We are your most loyal disciples!”
The three carpenters immediately acted, very cooperatively following Aqua’s words.
In their hearts, their expressions even carried a few traces of devoutness!
“In this world, there are also believers of my goddess?!”
The simple-minded Aqua believed their nonsense, unable to suppress her excited and proud expression.
“Icey! Can’t you see? Indeed, the Aquacises Sect is everywhere! Hahaha!”
This poor child, she is quite ill…
The three carpenters sighed silently in their hearts, looking at Aqua with a few more traces of pity.
In her eyes, this gaze directed at her in her moment of pride was simply a sincere gaze of faith towards herself!
Patting her somewhat muscular chest, she said generously, “Since you are all believers of my goddess, then today’s meal is on the house!”
“This is my restaurant, you jerk!” Icey stepped forward and delivered a loving chop to Aqua’s head.
Aqua winced in pain, tears welling up in her eyes as she covered her head with both hands.
“Really? That’s great! Boss, please change the three breakfasts to six!” The carpenters took advantage of the situation to make another jab.
“No problem, but after enjoying the Goddess’s grace, you must contribute your strength, so I’ll leave the damaged tables and chairs in the restaurant to you!”
“Ahem, forget it, forget it, upon careful consideration, we can’t eat that much anyway, so let’s not waste food.”
In just one round of banter, Icey and Aqua defeated these three foolish carpenters.
