In this wonderful world with the blessing of God of war

water city

We had just set foot in alcanretia when we were surrounded by the mob that wanted to sell us something weird or wanted us to join their cult

After trying to get out of there but not making any progress I decided that desperate times called for desperate measures

“Sorry but we are fine, not only do we have an axis priest with us, I am an adamant follower of lady aqua and her teachings, I present her with offerings each day” I told them

Hearing which my party looked at me with a deadpan and aqua tilted her head as she blinked repeatedly as if to say ‘when did that happen'

“huh, you do? what kind of offerings do you present lady aqua with?” the lady asked with wonder

Not expecting that question I just blurted out “booze” before I can stop myself

While I was panicking due to my answer the lady who had asked me just smiled and said

“Ah of course, chapter 12 verse 13, a bottle of wine a day keeps the demons, heretics and eris cultist away, well fair well then fellow faithful, may you have a blessed day” the lady said with enthusiasm

Hearing which I just looked at aqua who was nervously scratching the back of her head

“Well?” I asked her

“I think, I might have been a little drunk while writing that”

After we were able to move past the mob, we booked a room in an inn

And before I can slip out in the city Megumin grabbed me by my arm and dragged me with her

It’s not like I didn’t want to go with her

It would be like a date that’s not a date but I wanted to go alone so I can buy something for white day

Seeing that my search had come out empty-handed till now, I thought that maybe I needed to look into this city full of weirdos to buy something for my weirdo.

Megumin had acted like she normally did since she gave me chocolates, which might have been my mistake, cause I might have worded the whole thing out as a custom

she wanted to do things how my old world did and thought she was supposed to not say something until I have given her a gift…

My habit of trying to make things a little more grandiose might be biting me in the ass

We kept walking around the city, looking at the various beautiful sculptures, that definitely didn’t look like aqua at all, water fountains were on each street, around which the children were playing without any worry, birds were chirping from birdbaths and rooftops

I had to agree that this city was breathtakingly beautiful

And somehow with the crimson demon next to me, with her dainty hand in mine, her eyes shining with wonder, the whole thing became even better

We stopped by a shop during our walk

There a man in his forties was selling few dolls the size of my palm

I looked at the dolls a little more closely, and I realized that the hagoromo, blue hair, blue eyes looked eerily familiar

Oh, it’s aqua!

Seeing me eyeing the dolls so intently the shopkeeper said

“ah I see that you are entranced by lady aqua's beauty, would you perhaps want to buy it”
