Useless Goddess Interlude 2 

It’s almost dawn now. 

“… I thought the pick up point for the carriage is here, but did they move it without me knowing?” 

Having lost track of time completely while I was telling stories, I’ve been walking around searching for another carriage out of this town. 

I’m the one with the best sense of direction within the party, so there’s no way I could’ve gotten lost. 

That means that the pick up point must have been changed. 

Whenever we are on a quest, the three of them would disappear if I take my eyes off them for even an instant. 

They would definitely get lost if they were to chase after me, and the journey would be thrown into chaos. 

Oh no, maybe I should’ve waited till everyone could stand on their own feet before setting off on this journey. 

Just as I was wandering around town searching for the pick up point and getting worried for the rest, 

“… Aqua-sama? Just where are you going dressed like that?” 

The one who called out to me was one of my cute believers, Cecily. 

“What a coincidence, meeting you at such an early hour… No, there’s no way this is a coincidence.” 

Yes, as expected of the exemplary Axis Cult. 

They felt the decisive battle coming on the wind, which is why she is out here so early in the morning. 

“No, I was asking for more wine even after the bar has closed and before I knew it, it was morning. By the way, that’s the place I was drinking at.” 

Cecily pointed to a tavern that I’ve been to many times before. 

If I recall, this tavern was located in a much busier section of town. 

Not only did the pick up point change, but it seems like even the tavern has relocated without me noticing. 

“Well, it can’t be helped if you’ve been drinking. I too get angry whenever I hear calls for the last order. Whenever that happens, it turns into a bitter endurance match. But they always call Kazuma-san to fetch me home.” 

“I understand you very well, Aqua-sama. Whenever I get drunk, I always want to drink and celebrate more, so the last thing I want to do is head home.” 

As expected of the Axis Cult. They sure are an agreeable bunch. 

“By the way, the owner of that tavern said don’t worry about the tab, just please don’t come back…” 

“I see, the owner is a tsundere. There’s no reason to bar any members of the pure and upright Axis Cult, so the owner is a tsundere to the core. Take it from a regular.” 

“Understood, Aqua-sama! … So, back to my question, what’s with your outfit…?” 

With a carefree smile, Cecily asked me that question again. 

“Listen well, my devout Cecily. Seeing the current state of this world pains me. The proper, hardworking residents of this world are currently under threat of the Demon King. Thus, I shall now go on a journey to wipe out that root of evil!” 

“W-What did you say!? In other words, Aqua-sama is joining the battle in person? What about Megu-tan!? I don’t see Megu-tan anywhere! No, I mean, what about Megumin-san and Kazuma-san? And that Crusader from the Eris church!?” 

I’m a little interested in when our Megumin evolved into Megu-tan, but, 

“This upcoming journey would be fairly grueling. I’ve judged that those three fledglings won’t be of much help. That’s why… I shall personally set off to defeat the Demon King!” 

“You can’t… Er, I mean, Aqua-sama, it might be impudent of me, but I think that it’d be best to bring those three along. Otherwise, regardless of if you win or lose, you’ll get lectured.” 

Win or lose, I’ll get a lecture. 

“… What should I do? Maybe I can smooth things over with a souvenir or two?” 

“I don’t think that’ll work.” 

Maybe I should leave taking out the Demon King to some other day. 

Those words came up to my throat, but I couldn’t say it out loud. 

She might not know my true identity, but I still can’t appear that pathetic in front of one of my believers. 

“By the way, what do you intend to do from now on, Aqua-sama?” 

“Well, first off, I thought I’d take a carriage to somewhere cold. The Demon King’s castle seems like it’d be in a cold place, don’t you think? Like, somewhere to the north?” 

“Very well, Aqua-sama, please allow your humble servant Cecily to accompany you for part of the way.” 

As expected of the perceptive Axis Cult, she must have been motivated by the scent of the upcoming holy war. 

“If you are willing to go that far, then I suppose I’ll allow it, Cecily. Let’s head towards the north.” 

“Roger, Aqua-sama. But first, let’s ask the carriage driver to head in the direction of the Demon King’s castle. They are professional transporters, after all. I’m sure they’ll take us to where we need to go.” 

As expected of Cecily. She’s sharp as always. 

I’ve been together with this girl for quite some time now. Perhaps it’s time to tell her the truth. 

“As expected of Cecily, what a capable girl. As a reward, perhaps it’s about time I tell you the truth about–” 

“Please don’t say anything more!” 

Cecily let out a scream with an uncharacteristic haste. 

As expected of the humble Axis Cult, they have no greed at all–!
