As expected, Aqua's comment about "flat-chested" greatly displeased the Erisian girl, who retorted forcefully, "No, stop saying 'flat-chested'! It's so rude—besides, I have no intention of converting to another religion!"
"Oh dear, do you feel guilty towards Eris? It's alright, Eris is very magnanimous and won't be angry about your conversion! In fact, she might even cry tears of joy, saying she's so glad to have been able to help Aqua-senpai!"
Aqua shamelessly said this. In her opinion, did Eris really mean it sincerely, without feeling wronged or forced to say it? When she was in the heavens, she probably bullied goddesses like Eris quite a bit.
Even the girl from the Eris Cult couldn't help but speak up.
"Just say I didn't want one."
"The application form is ready. Come on, sign it here now! It's very simple, right?"
Aqua forcefully pulled out the application form and shoved it into the girl's face, forcing her to lean back.
Cecily exclaimed, "Lady Aqua—what an aggressive proselytizing style! It's truly outstanding!"
"Come on, come on!!"
The girl took a step back, and Aqua took a step forward, pressing, "Hurry up, hurry up! Have you forgotten your own name? Or is this not enough to sway you? You're so greedy, aren't you? Fine, I'll give you this bottle of laundry detergent! I'll only tell you this once—it's actually drinkable laundry detergent, you can drink it!!"
Her eyes shone with a terrifying light.
The girl from the Church of Eris trembled, backing away with increasing fear and unease. "Um—please listen to others."
"Hurry up! If you don't hurry, happiness will run away!! Come on, what do you say!?" Aqua suddenly entered berserk mode, looking like she had gone mad.
The girl from the Eris Church could no longer hold back; she turned and ran without looking back.
"I'm sorry! I appreciate your understanding!"
It disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Poor girl, Alcanredia—such a beautiful city of hot springs and water must only cast a shadow over her heart, but at the same time it will make her more steadfast in her faith in the goddess Eris. I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing.
Aqua slowly lowered her hand, which had been waving her application to join the cult, her lips pursed in displeasure.
"————What? There's no need to run away."
"I don't know why, but the Church of Axis doesn't have a very good reputation in this town, even though it's where their headquarters are located." Cecily completely disregarded the actions of her church, and even suggested, "Then let's just make the Church of Eris's reputation even worse! That's what they call 'if the mountain won't move, the road will!'"
"Don't do things that make people angry!" Charlotte couldn't help but jump out to stop them, not because she was a priest of the Church of Eris, but because they were likely to cause trouble.
He glared at the foolish goddess with annoyance and lectured, "Alright, Aqua, you haven't forgotten we have other things to do, have you? Is investigating the hot springs more important than worsening the reputation of the Cult of Eris?"
"Yes, if we were to evaluate them, their importance would probably be about the same."

"Hello!"
For a moment, I couldn't figure out if she was pretending to be stupid.
At this moment, Cecily said softly with doubt, "When did the church get such a handsome priest? He's such a high-quality man, I had no idea!"
"—Um, have you forgotten me?" Charlotte asked, pointing to herself.
"W-Could it be that we had some kind of fleeting affair?! Damn it, why can't I remember? If it were you, you shouldn't forget—"
With a snap.
Charlotte slapped Cecilia across the face, making her wince and clutch her forehead in pain.
"It hurts! Why did you hit me?"
"Sorry, I couldn't help it."
Anyone who nearly starved to death because their food was stolen, and then turned around and was forgotten, would remain indifferent when they saw their enemy. Now I finally understand why the protagonist in movies and TV shows gets so agitated and angry when the villain doesn't remember them.
Charlotte decided to remind her.
"Cecilie, back in Axel, didn't you steal the relief food distributed by the Church of Eris, and I was one of the victims?"
"—Sorry, I've stolen it too many times. Which time are you referring to?"
With a snap.
"It hurts! Why did you hit me again?"
"Just did it on a whim."
Charlotte was acting from the perspective of the Church of Eris, and as a priest of the Church of Eris, she punished Cecily. After all, it was one thing for Cecily to cause trouble for the Church of Eris, but she didn't even consider the impact on those who were starving. Slapping her as punishment was already very lenient.
Cecily rubbed her aching forehead, muttering that she wasn't entirely against this kind of thing, and added that the highest leader of the Jesta Axis Cult also liked this kind of thing, and that she could learn from him.
Charlotte decisively avoided getting involved in the conversation.
"By the way, Cecily, what are you doing in this town?"
"————I would consider myself a beautiful priestess in the church (self-proclaimed), so it's normal for me to come back, right?"
"But I remember you were sent abroad to earn merits and wanted to go to Axel, it's impossible for it to be this soon."
"You even know that?"
"That's not important."
Charlotte waved her hand, indicating that she should hurry up and tell her about herself. Cecily looked puzzled, but when she saw Aqua, she nodded as if she understood everything.
"It was because I happened to receive help from a friend!"
"----friend?"
"Please don't look at me like that! Even I have one or two friends!" Cecily said angrily. "And that friend is the famous Demon Sword Hero! — Although I really wanted to travel with him, he said he had something to do and left me behind."
"The Demon Sword Hero? Who's that?"
Aqua looked completely dumbfounded.
Sometimes I really feel sorry for Mikage Hibiki. He has such a strong sense of faith, yet Aqua always forgets about him every time she turns her head.
"It's Brother Demon Sword."
"Oh, it's him!"
After inquiring, it was learned that it was because Mikami Hibiki had happened to go to the town where Cecily worked, and happened to help her deal with a powerful monster when she was in danger. However, when Cecily was about to curry favor with him, she was told that she had something important to do.
"I remember—right, we were going to arrest someone!"
"Arrest them?"
"That's right! He said he was attacked by a group of dragons on his way to the capital a while ago, and he heard that the guy who caused the commotion framed him, so he's going to catch the mastermind to prove himself!"
"—What!?"
