Chapter 142 This is my wallet
Eris's reaction surprised Darkness, but remembering that she had also been a friendless person like Eris, she couldn't help but feel a sense of shared sorrow.
"Don't be like that. You just want to make friends. I can be your friend, as long as you don't steal things."
Darkness offered this comforting remark, and when she wasn't having an episode, she still maintained a very chivalrous demeanor.
"Things shouldn't be like this."
Eris felt powerless looking at her follower. She had come to help Darkness, who had no friends, but instead, Darkness, who also had no friends, had broken her defenses and pitied her. Moreover, Darkness was even preparing to befriend this goddess who had no friends under this pity.
"The script is completely different from what I expected!"
"script?"
Darkness thought for a moment, and then a lightbulb seemed to light up above her head.
"Here, take it."
"What?"
Darkness handed over a bag, and Eris instinctively took it and asked a question.
"My wallet! Didn't you already steal it this morning?"
"But why are you suddenly giving me your wallet?"
Eris was a little confused when she heard Darkness explain, "Isn't this the kind of friendship you need? Let's pretend that what happened this morning when I caught you never happened, and then do it again. You can bet with me now."
Eris: "..."
"Don't worry, I definitely won't be able to catch you this time. In that case, I'll have no choice but to be your friend."
Darkness continued.
"Hey, can you stop doing this? You're making me feel even more pathetic."
Eris stopped him.
"Darkness, what are you doing? Why did you give your wallet to someone else? Is this bastard trying to blackmail you?"
At this moment, Aqua, who had finished settling the mission, walked over with Broly. When she saw the thief girl holding Darkness's wallet, she couldn't help but imagine some things that had never happened. She asked this question while making a corresponding fist gesture and looking at Eris with an unfriendly expression.
"Where did you come from? Don't you know Darkness is under my protection, Aqua's protection? Daring to bully her is disrespecting me. Believe me or not, I'll beat you up!"
Aqua said with a roguish air.
"Ah, this..."
The person questioning her looked remarkably like her former goddess, making Eris instinctively want to explain the situation, but Aqua didn't give her a chance to explain at all.
He grabbed her by the collar and continued in a villainous tone, "You white-haired, flat-chested woman, let me tell you, this matter simply cannot be resolved without at least a hundred thousand Eris."
Eris: "..."
This tone and posture reminded her of the egregious extortion incident she encountered with the Axis cultists in the hot spring city of Acanletia when she first descended to earth.
The other party perfectly replicated the image of their predecessor, and even changed their self-designation to the predecessor's name, clearly indicating that they were a fanatical follower of their predecessor.
Ah, why is she, the goddess of fortune, so unlucky? Even in Axel, which is not the stronghold of the Axis Cult at all, she still manages to encounter members of the Axis Cult trying to extort money from her.
No, it should be said that it's strange that her own devout followers and the Axis followers who hate her and the Eris followers know each other and seem to have a pretty good relationship.
Feeling somewhat puzzled, Eris turned her gaze to Darkness, who quickly explained, "That's not how it is. She didn't blackmail me; I gave her the money voluntarily."
"Ha, what nonsense are you spouting, you masochistic woman? Did your masochistic tendencies suddenly kick in, and you're treating being extorted for money as a reward?"
Aqua retorted without mincing words, "Don't forget your place. You're my disciple's future wife, and all your money will belong to him in the future."
"Aqua, where did you come from, you wicked old woman?!"
Darkness also complained, but she didn't seem to be too resistant. She seemed to be looking forward to being managed by Aqua, her future "evil mother-in-law".
However, there was also a friendless thief here, and Darkness's chivalry allowed her to explain things clearly.
"What kind of bizarre way is this to make friends? The person who came up with this must be out of their mind!"
After listening, Aqua directly stated her thoughts, but as she spoke, she did not notice that the white-haired girl next to her was visibly darkening her face.
No matter who says what about her in this world, Eris doesn't want to be said that way by the mentally unstable Axis Cult!
"Besides, anyone who approves of this kind of friendship and willingly hands over their wallet must be out of their mind. Ugh, the Church of Eris produces some idiots, there's just no way to deal with it!"
Aqua made a helpless expression.
"Hey, Aqua, you can insult me, but I won't allow you to insult my beliefs."
Darkness is a masochist, but when it comes to the honor and disgrace of her religious sect, she has to stand up.
"Otherwise..."
"Otherwise, what are you going to do? You're a terrible swordsman, and I'm afraid you could miss your attacks even if I just stand still."
Aqua is skilled at infuriating people; she will never allow a mere disciple's wife to challenge her position as her master and mother-in-law.
Although their final relationship hasn't been confirmed yet, a major battle between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law seems about to unfold, and the atmosphere between Aqua and Darkness is becoming increasingly tense.
Eris listened from the side and roughly understood what Aqua meant. Although she had never heard Darkness mention this in her prayers before, if the girl's disciple was indeed her believer's fiancé, then she had to do something about it.
She is the goddess of fortune, and she has descended to earth to bring good luck, not misfortune, to her followers. If Darkness's future marriage is unhappy because of her, Eris will feel guilty for the rest of her life.
"You two shouldn't be like this, this is all..."
Before Eris could finish speaking, and was about to persuade the two, a new wallet was placed in her hand.
"Huh?"
Eris turned her head in confusion and saw a boy who was only two-thirds her height floating in mid-air, looking at her earnestly. The boy said, "This is my wallet. I'd like to be your friend too."
Upon hearing Broly's words, Aqua was the first to lose her composure. The water goddess turned around, looked at her disciple, and said somewhat angrily, "Broly, can you please not undermine me at a time like this?!"
This was clearly a crucial moment for her to establish herself and her future authority as a master and matriarch, but it was ruined by her own disciple.
Aqua felt a little uneasy. Sure enough, once he had a wife, he forgot about his master.
Aqua felt increasingly aggrieved as she thought about it, and soon she put on a pitiful act, looking at Broly with a resentful gaze, as if to say: You heartless little thing!
However, Aqua soon spotted Broly and pointed to the white-haired girl beside her, saying, "But, Master Aqua, this person is also the wife I want."
"Wife, wife, Broly, all you care about now is your wife, you don't care about your master at all..."
Before Fu could even finish speaking, Aqua realized what was happening.
"Wait, what did you just say?"
She asked her own disciple.
"I said, she's the wife I'm looking for too."
Broly repeated it again.
"Huh? Ah!"
After thinking for a while and figuring out what Broly meant, Aqua exclaimed in surprise.
He looked up, gasped, and suddenly realized that his disciple wasn't looking for just one wife.
"Huh?!"
Two surprised voices also rang out from the side, one from Darkness and the other from Eris.
Darkness was somewhat surprised, mixed with a hint of delight and anticipation at the prospect of having something planted on her head.
As for Eris, she was somewhat frightened.
However, just to be sure she hadn't misheard, she cautiously asked again, "Little boy, what did you just say? You want to marry me?"
"no."
That's exactly what I meant.
"Let's be friends first, and then I'll invite you to be my wife after we become best friends."
Broly corrected him, saying that the order of the process was important.
If you don't have enough happiness points, the chances of successfully inviting someone to be your wife are not high.
Even if you succeed, you'll waste a lot of opportunities to earn happiness points.
Eris: "..."
Good heavens! This goddess who descended to earth has been targeted, and the one targeting her is a child!
