Chapter 850 The Last Daily Life 30
"Really? Why do you always go off topic like this?"
"If it's Mr. Kobayashi and his friends, this will often happen, right?"
Wiz smiled as she heard Vanir's complaints. Although the topic always turned to other topics, it was good that the conversation didn't get stuck here.
"Really?" Vanir sighed and said, "Little girl from the Crimson Demon Clan, can you please get back to the topic?"
“Oh, I remember!” Hui Hui also seemed to have come to her senses and said, “So, what do you want me to do?”
"Please let you take over a certain task and complete it on my behalf."
"What is that job?"
Although Vanir said it lightly, Huihui didn't believe this guy at all. Because he always made some big news every time, she had to confirm it carefully, otherwise she would never agree to it.
“Haha, don’t be nervous.” Vanir seemed to notice Huihui’s hesitation and chuckled a few times and said, “Remove the curse in a certain church, that’s it. However, that curse is something that even high-level clergy find difficult to deal with.”
“I see, so it’s my turn now!” Huihui seemed to understand something and said loudly, “I’ll use an explosion magic on that church and clean it up with a bang!”
"No."
Vanir rejected her decisively. Huihui was slightly stunned. It seemed that she had misunderstood. Vanir seemed to still want to stay in the church.
"So, how can I uncover this high-powered curse that even high-level priests will struggle against?"
Huihui was also a little unhappy. After all, as an explosion magician, the only magic she could use was explosion magic. Now not allowing her to use it wasn't like deliberately making things difficult for her.
But Vanir had some hidden agenda. He said, "It's your job to think about what to do, right? If that method depends on me, we can discuss it."
"Nuuuuuu… I don't want to add to my debt."
Vanir looked like he wanted to make more money. Huihui hesitated for a long time but finally refused.
Xiaolin also whispered, "Meihui, just accept this commission."
"What's wrong? It's rare to see you so positive?" Huihui looked at Xiaolin in a strange way. But Xiaolin smiled and whispered in her ear: "Of course there is a chance of winning."
"That is to say?"
“Why are you tilting your head? Have you really not thought of that?” Seeing such a stupid Huihui, Xiaolin was also a little unhappy. He rolled his eyes and said, “Don’t we have Aqua, who is extremely strong only when facing the undead? Even though that girl is a headache in some places and acts like an idiot, her strength as a priestess will be recognized.”
“Ahh, I see!”
Huihui looked very happy, but Xiaolin couldn't help but curl his lips. Could this girl really have forgotten? Or did she really not trust her companions?
And just like that, the conditions seemed to be met.
Vanir clapped his hands decisively and said, "Okay, this matter is settled. Then, I'll give you the ring for now."
"Huh? Why?" Xiao Lin was somewhat resistant when he heard this. He said with disdain, "I don't want to hold the cursed ring anymore."
"Don't say that. After all, it's not a high-level thing. It won't be dangerous. Besides, it might be useful for something else."
What use is a curse?
Vanir had a smile on his face. He must have used his ability to see something. Even if I asked him, he probably wouldn't tell me. He would definitely laugh triumphantly and say that I should experience it myself and enjoy the pleasure of negative emotions... Forget it, I'll just listen to others' advice and have a full meal. Since Vanir said so, it doesn't matter if there is no harm. At most, I will be bullied a little bit.
After figuring out all this, Xiao Lin said, "Well, tell me the details right away. Next, we need to go to that church to take a look at the situation."
“Now?” Huihui showed a surprised expression. She didn’t seem to expect it to be so hasty. She was about to take action right after she finished speaking.
Xiao Lin said nonchalantly, "It's better to do good deeds early, right? Well, I have to go now."
“Wait, wait for me!” Seeing Kobayashi running away quickly, Huihui shouted, “I can’t walk properly now, carry me!”
With no other choice, Kobayashi could only carry Huihui on his back.
The two of them came to the church that Vanir had mentioned. Surprisingly, it was not located on the outskirts of the town, but a little further from the center of the town. But probably because of the curse, there were no pedestrians walking on the road. After seeing this church, Xiaolin couldn't help but sigh.
"It's a church so beautiful that it's hard to imagine it's cursed. I thought it would be a spooky and scary place like a ruin in the suburbs."
That's right, the church in front of me is neat and beautiful, and its appearance is also bright and clean. In addition, it looks very beautiful, whether it is the shape or the decoration, it is quite gorgeous. The church here seems to be a place for holding some important ceremony. But I didn't expect that it is now cursed.
Huihui curled her lips and said, “This is the church of the Eris Cult, so it’s only natural that it’s being repaired.”
The Cult of Eris?
In other words, is the church that believes in Eris-sama so loved by the people?
“… Megumin, although it may seem strange to ask this question now, is Eris-sama such a powerful goddess?”
Xiaolin was curious.
After all, Eris's true identity is Chris, and that guy is just an ordinary adventurer, and even a thief. It's hard to tell what's so special about him.
Hui Hui seemed dumbfounded by this question. She looked at him in disbelief and said, "Xiao Lin, what kind of life did you lead before?"
"Well, leave me be. I'm just curious. So, what's going on?"
“Speaking of Eris-sama, her name is widely known as the goddess of luck. She has many believers and has even become a currency issuer. How could you not know such a thing? What kind of environment did you live in?”
"No, no, this is... it's hard to explain in words?"
Kobayashi couldn't hold back anymore after being mocked by Huihui.
No matter what, even if I told her that I came from another world, she wouldn't believe it.
Megumin seemed to have a fondness for Goddess Eris. She smiled and said, “Eris-sama is loved by the entire world. It’s not an exaggeration to say that she is the goddess among goddesses.”
Kobayashi didn't deny this. Compared to his own idiotic and infuriating good-for-nothing goddess, the goddess Eris was more like a heroine.
“Perhaps there are many people who cannot stand seeing Eris-sama’s church being dirty—” Megumin looked back at the beautiful and clean church and said, “It wouldn’t be strange if they came to clean the church on their own initiative.”
I see, she is indeed very popular. But that is natural, after all, Eris is a treasure of mankind with her personality. By the way, if Eris is so popular, then what about Aqua, her predecessor, the goddess of water and their team mate?
“By the way, what about the goddess Aqua of the Axis Cult?”
"Xiaolin, it's better not to get involved with that cult. Some of the believers are particularly noticeable because they are hated by others. Even if we are being polite, their reputation is not good."
I didn't expect that my teammates would have such an opinion of Aqua, and at the same time Kobayashi suddenly thought of a subtle thing.
That is, what does Aqua think about Eris's situation? If she saw her juniors being troubled by such a thing, she would definitely be happy to see it and not help.
An idiot goddess who is jealous of her juniors is extremely resistant to taking action, and might even deliberately say that since it is her own church, she should solve it herself. If she can't do it, she will just be a useless goddess... something like that?
“So, what should we do next?” Huihui looked at the church in front of her and asked Xiaolin beside her: “Should we continue investigating?”
"Ah, now that we're here, let's go in and take a look."
Now that he was here, it was not his character to just go home. Besides, he had to find a reason to convince Aqua to help him. That stupid goddess who was extremely hostile to Eris might not be willing to help. So this time, in addition to finding the real reason for the curse, he also had to find some useful clues.
Open the church door.
Huihui whispered, “Excuse me…?”
"It doesn't matter if we don't have to reach that level, right?" Xiao Lin pushed the door of the church wide open and said, "If the situation is really bad, this place should be abandoned, right? But look, isn't the church clean inside?"
The bright red carpet, neatly arranged tables and chairs, the platform in front and the pristine white statue of the goddess are as clean and tidy as the outside, indicating that someone comes here regularly to clean. No, it should be said that this church is still in use.
"If it wasn't cleaned every day, it wouldn't be so clean, right?" Xiao Lin looked around and said, "If it was a really terrible curse, there would be no time to leisurely sweep the floor here. In other words, the curse here isn't a very powerful one."
After understanding this, Kobayashi felt relieved. If anything seemed difficult, Aqua would be the first to refuse it.
“But…” Huihui subconsciously hid behind Xiaolin. She also looked around, but seemed a little scared and whispered, “It seems that no one has appeared here. I greeted them but no one came out.”
"I wanted to ask them about their situation." Xiaolin was also puzzled. He stroked his chin and said to himself, "Did they go to the streets to preach?"
“Even so, it still feels strange that no one is here.” Huihui looked at the empty church and the sunlight coming through the transparent windows and said, “At this time, there should be people praying here.”
"So, is he doing some kind of work in the deep?"
"It would be nice if it were this way... I have a bad feeling about this."
Xiaolin always felt that Huihui was exaggerating. She must be like a normal girl who was a little scared of an empty church, so she was so nervous. If that was the case, then he should completely dispel her worries.
“Excuse me! Is anyone there?!”
Xiaolin shouted loudly.
However, there was no response, and no one came out from the back, and the door leading to the church at the back remained closed.
“No reaction at all.” Huihui’s eyes turned red as she said, “Besides, you can’t even sense the presence of people?”
The Crimson Demons were able to sense things through magic, but right now this church had no fluctuations of magic and was obviously empty.
"This... maybe... it could be that."
"What is it? What is that thing you are talking about?"
Huihui was a little scared.
Xiao Lin frowned slightly and said, "Could it be that everyone was killed by the curse?"
“Didn’t you just say that there would be no problem?” Huihui became even more frightened. She hunched her shoulders and held his arms tightly with her hands.
"No, think about it carefully--"
Xiaolin also said in a somewhat surprised tone: "This commission can offset the debt equivalent to 100,000 eris, right? Then, it would not be surprising if this is a very difficult task."
"Rather, it's normal to think this way."
Huihui nodded. After all, the reward this time was quite generous. If it was so easy to solve, then there would be no chance for them to appear, right?
Xiao Lin was also a little unhappy. His expression was slightly distorted as he said, "Does this mean that I have taken over a terrible mess?"
“It’s too late to regret now!” Huihui shouted.
The corners of Xiao Lin's mouth slightly raised, then quickly disappeared. He pretended to be unwell and said with a look of discomfort: "Wow... Don't you think the air in here has become heavier than before? Also, it seems a bit difficult to breathe..."
“Xiao Lin, please go back soon?” Hui Hui shook his arm fearfully and begged, “We really can’t stay in a place like this!”
Oh, I’m scared. I’m scared.
Seeing her trembling and looking around, she is like a little kid in a place like this. She is really cute. It feels quite interesting, so let's play a little trick on her.
Kobayashi turned his face to the other side to avoid being noticed by Huihui, and a wicked and evil smile appeared on his face.
