Me, a priest? How could that be!

Chapter 133 Wiz and Barnier 2

In the still deserted magic item shop, Wiz was tending to the shop as always, and as always, she was complaining softly.

"Sigh—why is there no customer at this store? It has so many excellent products—"

"Hello!"

While organizing goods, Barnier shouted, "That useless shopkeeper who's been so concerned about his waistline lately, yet secretly ate snacks last night—!"

"W-How did Mr. Barnier know? Did he use the power to see through things?!"

"Hmph, I merely tricked you into revealing information. I am fully aware of what you are capable of doing."

The demon with the ability to see far indicated that he disdained using his powers to see such things, while also demonstrating just how well he understood Wiz's personality.

"Ugh—that's too much—"

Wiz was dejected.

"Hahaha, your negative emotions are truly delicious, though they're really just snacks at best." Barnier shrugged.

"Really, Mr. Barnier! Please stop teasing me!" The lich girl pouted angrily.

Barnier gestured for her to calm down and explained, "We didn't just strike up a conversation with you to tease you. We have something to ask you: where did that bottle of potion we brought in a few days ago go?"

While organizing the merchandise, he discovered that one item was missing, which is why he asked the proprietress of the magic item shop—although she has now become the shopkeeper.

"That bottle of medicine—?"

"These are the goods we received a few days ago, the medicine that's been stored in the wooden crates." Barnier showed the empty wooden crates. "They're what's in here."

"Ah, you mean that potion! Don't worry, it's already been sold to Lady Aqua!" Wiz said with a smile, then praised, "Mr. Barnier is so kind. That potion was just received, and you're willing to sell it at half price as a clearance item."

"Really? Really? Even a useless shop owner can be useful sometimes."

Barnier's smile was unusually sinister.

That smile carried the implication that "you've finally fallen for it."

Startled, the lich girl instinctively distanced herself and whispered, "Mr. Barnier, your eyes feel a little terrifying—"

"Do you really think that bottle of medicine is an energy drink?"

"Isn't that right!? Then, Lady Aqua bought—"

"It's poison, and a deadly poison that will kill you instantly if you drink it."

What?

Banir's cold words immediately frightened Wiz. She paced frantically in the magic item shop, crying out, "What, what should we do? Lady Aqua is in danger!"

"I said, Wiz!!"

No sooner had she finished speaking than Aqua angrily pushed open the door of the magical item shop. As soon as she entered, she couldn't contain her anger and loudly questioned the timid lich girl.

"What's the deal with that energy drink I bought from you before?!"

"Lady Aqua! Are you...are you alright!?"

Seeing the energetic Aqua appear at the magic item shop, Wiz visibly relaxed. Aqua, however, started complaining loudly, stomping her foot, "No way! My stomach's been hurting ever since I drank that beverage, I've been running to the toilet nonstop! Is it spoiled?"

"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry!! Actually, that wasn't an energy drink!"

"What did you say!?" Aqua's eyes widened instantly, and she looked at Banir in the magic item shop, picking a fight, "And that wicked mask over there, what have you been snickering about since earlier!?"

"Hahaha"

Unable to contain himself any longer, Barnier threw his head back and laughed. He covered his mask and said, "It's nothing, my apologies. I truly admire you. A poison that would kill a normal person instantly, and you only got a stomachache!"

"Should I say you truly live up to your reputation as a useless priest?"

Or should I say, she truly deserves to be called a goddess?

The all-seeing demon could naturally detect Aqua's true identity, and the bottle of poison—an energy drink—was the way to confirm it.

"You called him a loser!?"

Aqua retorted angrily, as a goddess couldn't stand being called a fake or a good-for-nothing. It made her feel like an unqualified goddess—even though she was already unqualified to begin with.

Wiz was a little scared.

"Um—you two."

She wanted to stop the two arguing, but she was too low-profile to intervene.

Barnier scoffed, "But if it were a true priest, he would have realized it was poison before he even drank it—"

"So, you drank it on purpose to relieve your constipation?"

"Tch, poison? I could easily purify it before I even noticed it, okay? Besides, the goddess doesn't get constipated!" Aqua retorted defiantly.

"Please calm down, both of you—"

Wiz tried to suppress the escalating tension.

Aqua retorted, "Since we've got this rare opportunity, why don't you try some of my purified water? But if a demon drinks my purified water, they'll be reduced to ashes! I only have a stomachache, but you'll all be annihilated?! That's hilarious!!"

"If your water isn't purified poison, we'd really like to give it a try," Barnier said, his eyes gleaming red.

It was at this moment that a "Holy Exorcism!" occurred.

"Naive! A magnificent molt!"

The moment Aqua unleashed her skill, Banir instantly transformed into clay to dodge the attack and then returned to his original form. The two then began their alternating fight, each dodging and hitting the other.

Wiz couldn't hold back any longer and shouted, "Um, please don't fight in the store!!"

pity.

Nobody will listen to her.

"Hmph, today I will definitely use the power of the goddess to completely shatter this wicked mask!"

"Hahaha, even if you destroy this mask, it doesn't mean you can eliminate us!"

"In that case, I'll use my secret technique!"

Aqua began to disregard everything; her body emitted a bright, powerful light, a sign of surging divine power. Wiz rushed into the battlefield, standing in front of Aqua and pleading for her mercy.

"Please stop, Lady Aqua! If you use your secret technique, even I will be purified—"

—

"Use it if you want, it's just a mere secret technique of a useless priest, it probably isn't that powerful, is it?"

"Mr. Barnier, please stop provoking me! Uh-oh—no—Lady Aqua—no!!!"

"Then you should experience it for yourself! Holy Exorcism!!"

Aqua unleashed her secret technique.

"Aaaaaah!" Wiz screamed immediately. "It's disappearing! It's disappearing!! I was just selling merchandise—!"

"Hahaha! The negativity of this good-for-nothing shop owner is truly delicious, but it's about time. Before the shop owner and the shop disappear together, I'll take my leave!"

Barnier rushed out of the shop.

He was hoping to make money from Wiz's magic item shop, so destroying it would benefit no one.

"Hey, don't run away! Accept the goddess's divine punishment!"

Aqua, caught up in the moment, rushed out of the magic item shop right after.

"Mr. Barnier, that's too much—waaaaaah—"

Only the lich girl, who was about to ascend to heaven, remained.
