Your POV:

Aqua: This city's crisis appears to be serious.

"For pity's sake, we're having breakfast ! Can't you give us a break after you cried the entire night ?!"

Kazuma: Also, don't you dare use any other hot spring except for the one that comes along with the room.

Aqua: Listen to me !! I didn't purify the hot spring because I wanted to ! Even if you pour all the high-quality shower foam Darkness was keeping in the bathroom into the bath water, I can purify it in an instant. It's normal for me to purify a hot spring.

"Then don't go to any hot springs."

Darkness: What ? You used all the shower foam ?! They were luxury items I ordered from the capital !

"... ... ..."


"Look, Kazuma, I'm Santa !"

Kazuma: Pfrrrrr !!


"Mh."

Aqua: But this is weird, I took a really long time to purify the secret hot spring of the Axis cult. My purification powers are beyond amazing. For example...

*Fwoop*

Aqua: See ?

Kazuma: If I see ?! What are you doing ?! Get me a new cup of coffee !

Aqua: As you can see, I only need an instant to purify it. However, it took really long that time. This must mean that the hot spring was heavily polluted... I hear the water quality in all the hot springs was turning worse, right ? That means the threat my Axis Cult will face isn't a direct assault from the demon king's army, but a strike against the Axis Cult's source of income, the hot springs !

Megumin/Darkness: is that so ? How amazing.

Aqua: Believe me ! I'm telling the truth !

"Anyway, it's just the water quality of a few hot springs turning bad, right ? Why would you link it to the demon king's army ?"

Megumin: Indeed, the Axis Cult is weird, does dumb things, and is unpopular with people, but the demon king's army won't do something so troublesome because of that, right ?

Kazuma: ...' Damn it, that man in the bath was definitely a minion of the demon king...'

'Don't tell anyone yet. If we report that to the guild here, they'll ask for our assistance. And honestly, not in the mood for demon king's shenanigoons right now.'

Aqua: I'll fight to defend this city ! I hope everyone can give me a hand !

Kazuma: I need to go sightseeing, I don't have time for this.

Megumin: I experienced how scary Axis Cultists are already, so I'll pass this time. I'll follow Kazuma today.

"It's not against you. But if someone is working against this cult, I'm more likely to join them."

Aqua: Why ?! Something like sightseeing can be done any other day ! Megumin too ?! And you... What are you trying to instill, a revolution ?! Don't hate on my devotees ! Hey, Darkness...

Darkness: Eh... I, um... Well...

Aqua: Pleaseeee !!

Darkness: All right, all right, I'll go ! I'll accompany you, all right ! Don't purify my grape juice !
