Outerworlder's Blessing on this Wonderful World!

{8}- Encounter with a Dullahan | Lake Purification

Sorry for the late update, everyone! In return, I made the chapter longer. 

Cheers! :)

Y/N POV

"Aqua... are you serious?" I looked at the blue-haired goddess in exasperation.

"Y/N! Kazuma! Please give me some of the money you guys obtained from the cabbage quest!"

"No." I refused. Aqua was wasting too much money at this point. I really got to make sure that she doesn't blow through all of our funds on useless things. "Your financial sense is horrible, Aqua. It would be unwise to give you any money at all. Kazuma would definitely support me on that point."

"That's right. I'm glad at least there's one other sane person in this group." Kazuma crossed his arms.

"But.. but!" Aqua pointed two menacing looking people who have their fists balled up. Obviously she lended something from them and didn't think of the cost. Baka moment.

I sighed, before walking up to the two thugs and activated Mode Zero. Snapping my fingers, ten bars of gold dropped into my hands and I stuffed five each into their hands, before giving them a glare and walking back. Thank god I was doing this outside of their field of view, or else I will be bombarded with questions regarding on how to make gold out of thin air. 

Interestingly enough, my Periodic Table Manipulation does not exist to the 'to-be-discovered 8th row', which means that they still haven't found Ununennium on Earth. Weird, right? But it's how the megaverse functions, so don't ask me.

"Okay, that problem is taken care of. Now, Aqua, sit down and we're eating breakfast."

"Fine... anyways, Kazuma, how much did we earn from the cabbage quest?"

"About 2.5 million eris." Kazuma said nonchalantly.

"2.5 MILLION?" 

"Yeah, what about it?" 

Thanks to our high luck stat and our amazing teamwork, with me fishing the cabbages in using my steel nets and Kazuma gathering them into baskets, our cabbages were loaded with high EXP per vegetable. Kazuma gave me a thumbs up at this point in time, and I returned one as we laughed internally at the small fortune we just made.

"By the way, Kazuma, you learned Basic Magic recently, right? Wanna give a demonstration?" I asked him and he immediately accepted the opportunity to show off.  

Kazuma took an empty glass on the table, and shouted "Create Water!", before a jet stream of dihydrogen monoxide came out of his hand and filled the glass up. He drank it and let out a satisfied sigh, before we clapped in light of his performance.

"Hey, Aqua. Teach me some of your recovery magic, can you? I feel kind of useless if this is all I can do, honestly..." Kazuma inched closer to the water goddess, who flinched in retaliation immediately upon hearing this.

"No! No! Anything but my recovery magic! I'll lose all my worth in the party then!"

So even you acknowledge the fact that aside from being a healer and an emotional support unit, you're somewhat useless?

"Come on, at least you will contribute to the party by passing on the knowledge-" Kazuma began again, but Aqua began bawling and sniffling at his words. At this exact moment, a *ping* sounded at the back of my head, and I knew exactly what was up.

This early today, Gli?  I used telepathy to message her.

I'm bored today, Papa. Open up the space already.

Okay, okay. I'll come over once I tell them I have something to do.

"Um, Kazuma, I have some business to take care of, okay? I'll be back in an hour or so, so take care of yourselves!" With that, I dashed off, leaving a confused look on my party members' faces as I bolted out of the guild. I turned into an empty alley, before turning my Deep Core Compass.
