Chapter 116 Disturbed by Money
"Why did you bring me here? What am I supposed to do now?"
Aqua wanted to grab the boy by the collar and cry out to him, but looking at the boy's innocent face and clear eyes, her pride as a goddess and an adult wouldn't allow her to show such an embarrassing appearance.
"Broly, you must be insecure to have chosen such a trustworthy goddess like me to come with you."
Since she had come to this world, there was nothing she could do. Aqua resorted to self-comfort, telling herself that it was because she was so outstanding that such a child relied on her so much, and was more willing to trust her, the goddess, than those with powerful cheat abilities.
"Ah, no..."
Broly was about to explain why he had chosen her when Aqua interrupted him, saying, "No problem, no problem. I am, after all, the great water goddess Aqua. Although I lack confidence in defeating the Demon King of this world, I have absolutely no problem ensuring your survival in this world. Leave everything to me!"
Aqua told herself to calm down and started thinking about what she should do.
[The person next to me is just a child. Right now, only I, the goddess, can make the decisions. Think about it, how did all the reincarnated beings I transported to this world before manage their early stages?!]
But after thinking about it for a while, Aqua suddenly knelt down, leaning forward in a dejected posture, because she realized that she hadn't paid any attention to what had happened to those people after they were transported to this world.
But can you blame her? You can't blame her. There are so many souls to receive every day. Although the number of people transferred to this world is not very large, they have all been transferred to another world. It should be the responsibility of that junior who pads her chest. What does it have to do with her, the great water goddess Aqua?
With such tiring reception work every day, who has time to care about the reincarnated ones? Saying that the goddess is watching over them is just polite talk. Who would have thought that one day they would be brought to this completely unrelated world?!
Aqua's heart was roaring. Broly looked at the Crystal Palace and saw the other person's happiness level was so high that it couldn't be lowered any further. He looked at her with some worry.
"Are you alright?"
Suddenly, someone came over to ask what was wrong. It was a group of adventurers. They had seen a cute girl with a strangely dressed child lying on the newbie street, shaking her head up and down in her hands. Their behavior was a bit odd, so they came over to ask what was wrong.
"I'm fine, but she seemed very distressed, saying that she wanted to help me survive in this world."
Broly replied.
"oh!"
The adventurers understood. These days, it was quite common for older sisters to bring their younger brothers to Axel City to make a living. After all, this was a town for novice adventurers, and the monsters around weren't too powerful.
"Your sister must be worried about not being able to find the Adventurers' Guild. It's okay, we're about to go to the guild to settle our quests. If you don't mind, you can come with us."
Upon hearing this, Aqua, who was on the ground, was taken aback for a moment, but then she perked up.
"That's right, Broly. The first thing you should do upon arriving here is go to the Adventurers' Guild and register as a professional."
This world is protected by the Goddess Clan. The best way for ordinary people to become professionals is to get certified by the Adventurers' Guild.
"If you want to register, go to the counter over there."
Upon arriving at the guild, the adventurer party that had brought the two of them gave Aqua directions.
"Thank you, Lady Aqua, the goddess of the Axis religion. I will repay your kindness in guiding us."
"Wait, are you a member of the Axis Cult?"
"Yes, what's wrong?"
"No, it's nothing. We still need to settle our mission. We won't bother you with anything about repaying kindness."
The group of adventurers had intended to take the two to register, but upon hearing Aqua claim to be the goddess of the Axis religion, their expressions immediately changed, and they fled as if their lives depended on it.
"Don't get involved with the Axis cult; they're all mentally unstable..."
In the distance, Broly could vaguely hear the departing people's evaluation of the Axis religion.
Upon hearing about the Axis Religion, the other members of the guild also distanced themselves from Aqua.
Even though she was a beautiful young woman who entered, she still attracted the attention of many adventurers when she came in.
"That's strange. I was planning to give each of them a goddess's blessing as a way of repaying them after they completed their professional certifications."
Aqua muttered to herself, unaware that the atmosphere within the Adventurers' Guild had changed because of her presence.
"Let's go, Broly, let's get our professional certifications done now."
Broly followed Aqua to the registration counter, where they were greeted by a blonde woman. Upon learning that they were there for professional certification, she gave them new registration cards, but…
Registration is not free; please pay the registration fee.
Aqua touched her pockets, which were empty. As a goddess, how could she possibly carry money she didn't need?
"Broly, do you have any money with you?"
Having not found any money, Aqua naturally asked the boy behind her.
This made the blonde receptionist behind the registration counter frown.
"no."
Broly shook his head; Wampa Star didn't need money.
As for exchanging happiness points for money?
Well, those 40,000 happiness points have long been spent.
Can I buy on credit?
Aqua asked the blonde receptionist behind the counter.
"Sorry, our guild does not currently offer this credit service."
Aqua and Broly sat at a corner table. A waiter came over to ask what they wanted to order. Just as Broly was about to order, Aqua dismissed the waiter.
"We're still thinking, please don't disturb us."
"Yeah?"
The waitress noticed their embarrassment but didn't say anything.
They only served two glasses of free water and then left.
"Don't you want to eat anything?"
Broly asked, he could tell that Aqua was in a bad mood.
"Broly, you're young, you probably don't realize the serious problem we're facing. Eating here costs money, and we can't even afford the registration fee for our profession right now. Ah, what are we going to do?"
Aqua held her head in her hands, never imagining that she, a goddess, would one day be troubled by something as mundane as money.
Broly also became serious, realizing that money in this world might be hard to earn.
