Chapter 624: Zesta Can Do Anything
Recently, many people have come to the Novice Village Axel.
Because of the coming of the goddess Eris, there were rumors that the town was shrouded in the goddess' holy light and even became a holy place of the Eris Cult, causing Aqua to make a big fuss.
Kobayashi and others also had a rare moment of leisure.
Adventurer's Guild.
"Then please accept this letter of entrustment."
Cecily took the commission to the guild counter and handed it to Luna.
After taking a closer look, Luna frowned slightly and said in embarrassment, "Ms. Cecily, this commission... well, it's not possible..."
"No, what the hell is going on!"
Cecily put her hands on her hips, looking like she was going to lose her temper if she didn’t give a reasonable explanation. She said, “Because I’m an Axis believer? Are you making things difficult for me because I’m an Axis believer? I’m getting mad and I’m going to throw a tantrum here!”
"No, that's not the case! It's about the content of the request!"
Luna, who was being scolded, quickly waved her hands, looking like she was also in an awkward situation.
Looking at the order form, he spoke slowly.
"The target of the subjugation is 'Demons, Eris Cultists, and Undead'. The reward is 300,000 Eris..."
"Is there anything wrong with that? Could it be that you are on the side of the devil and the undead? I might as well pour some holy water on you to confirm it!"
"The problem lies with the Eris believers who are caught in the middle!"
Luna held Cecily's hand tightly to prevent the holy water from spilling on her body, and said, "Besides... Mr. Vanir will not remain silent if you put something like this on me."
"Well!"
Cecily also whimpered. Of course she knew Vanir's true identity and had even gone to pick a fight with him before, but she was only given a good lesson.
She also quickly explained: "No, no problem! This commission is just to create an alibi!"
"Alibi?"
“Yeah… Actually, the top leaders of the Axis Church are coming to inspect, and then…” Cecily shouted aggrievedly: “If I judge that I’m not working at all, I’ll be sent back to Alcanretia!”
Just because of this! ?
Luna felt sorry for the Eris followers.
"What are you arguing about?"
At this time, Xiaolin and others came to the guild, and the person who just asked the question was Huihui.
After seeing her, Cecily shouted in joy: "Ah, Miss Huihui, you came at the right time! Listen to me, if this continues I will be sent back..."
"I heard that, big sister is going back, right? Please take care of yourself in the future."
Huihui had no intention of helping at all.
“How cold! Miss Huihui——————!”
Cecily burst into tears.
Xiao Lin smiled and said, "That's great. This way the city can be a little more peaceful. Without the Axis cultists with mental problems, I think other people will be more relaxed."
"Hmm, hm... I can't deny that."
Darkness also nodded slightly.
You know, during the festival, the Akusis believers had been causing a lot of trouble, and she had received numerous reports. So, she was sincerely happy that Cecily, such a big nuisance, had left.
“That’s too much!”
Cecily burst into tears and cried, "You will regret saying that! Because, if I go back..."
"I will replace the believer Cecily as the person in charge of Axel."
A magnetic old man's voice came from beside me.
Cecily said subconsciously: “Yes, yes, Master Zesta, who is also regarded as the best among the Axis believers, will come to replace me... Hmm?”
When he turned around, Zesta appeared beside him.
Master Zesta, who is known as the "ability to do anything" in the Axis Church, would be worse than Cecily if he came!
Megumin panicked and said, “What’s going on with Zesta-san being the person in charge, sis! He’s already here, isn’t he?”
“Ah, Master Zesta, that’s not the case!” Cecily also hurriedly explained: “By the way, where is Master Aqua who can suppress Master Zesta!?”
"As for Aqua, she's currently making dolls in the warehouse, and she's weakly asking Wiz to come along and help. Oh, and by the way, Ryushi is there for reference, and Satou-kun is also with them," Kobayashi explained to them.
"This is such a great place of freedom, Aqua-sama!"
Cecily praised, then immediately changed her tone and said, "But please save me now!"
Seeing this, Jesta said gently, "Miss Cecily, you know the current situation, right?"
"I know, Lord Zesta! But please give Cecily, the loyal believer, a chance!" Cecily had a pleading look on her face.
Zesta crossed his arms and said, "Yes, because when the Axis Church's top leader was voting, Miss Cecily said she would vote for me."
"Eh? Ah, ah, yes, I voted for Zesta-sama! ... I think I probably voted!"
Cecily is totally unreliable.
Zesta added, "You said you voted, so you asked me to treat you to a meal. I remember I treated you to a meal... Well, forget it."
Apparently he also knew that Cecily didn't vote for him.
However, Zesta did not make things difficult for Cecily, but said: "Follower Cecily, I will give you a test! While I stay in this town, you must do your best to obtain the corresponding results of serving Lady Aqua, then I will forgive you and let you stay here."
“I understand, Master Zesta! Then I will attack the Church of Eris for a while!”
Cecily was full of confidence.
Wait, your loyalty is to attack the Church of Eris?
“You can’t go!” Darkness stood in front of them and said, “I won’t allow you to be so arrogant in front of me, a member of the Eris Cult!”
"Hmm? Isn't there a commission on the wall over there?" Jesta took a look at the commission.
Xiao Lin looked over and said in surprise, "Oh, is it a mission to subjugate the undead? Indeed, if you are the high priest, such a mission is suitable for you. But the undead are powerful enemies. Do you want Cecily to defeat it alone?"
“Haha, how is that possible? If the four of us work together, there will probably be no problem!” Cecily shamelessly pulled them along.
"No, no, no, I won't go without Aqua, and Cecily alone as a priest is disturbing."
Huihui said so.
Cecily immediately yelled, “Why is this happening?! I’m going to share the agar slime with you, please help me!”
“There’s nothing we can do. They’re the undead enemies of the Cult of Axis. Let me, the high priest and the highest leader of the Cult of Axis, Zesta, lend you a hand!” Zesta shouted loudly.
May I?
Is this person trustworthy or not?
Darkness was worried, but Megumin, Krillin, and Cecily looked like everything was fine, so she didn’t say anything.
Came to the suburban cemetery.
"Oh oh oh——"
As soon as I got here, I saw the target of the mission, a cloaked skeleton undead, similar to the Grim Reaper in SAO.
The moment Zesta saw it, he shouted, "Go ahead, Miss Cecily! Defeat the dead, destroy the undead! The world belongs to the Axis Cult!"
However, Cecily pushed Zesta's back.
"Lost undead, please make it my merit to allow me to stay by Aqua-sama's side!"
"Wait, wait, Miss Cecily, this is your test! Stop pushing me!"
“Didn’t Master Zesta say that the highest leader of the Axis Cult would lend me a helping hand?”
Zesta also showed a resistance.
To be honest, if you are not willing, why accept this task?
"That's enough! Anyone can do the work that a priest should do!"
Darkness couldn't bear it any longer.
“No, these guys.” Xiaolin sighed, looking at Huihui who was eager to try, and said: “You haven’t used the explosion magic today, right? Okay, use the explosion magic on it.”
"I've been waiting impatiently for a long time! Explosion!"
With one magic shot, Huihui blew the undead into ashes, and even half of the cemetery was blown up.
"Did you finish it?"
"Hey, don't like setting flags like Aqua does."
Kobayashi reprimanded Darkness, but in the end the undead did not resurrect, but simply went to meet the goddess.
Cecily and Jesta breathed a sigh of relief.
"It looks like he really killed it. Lost undead, please rest in peace..."
“This is the power of the highest leader of the Axis Cult. I hope that next time I reincarnate, I won’t fall into the undead state…”
You seem quite smug, but other than Huihui, you two haven’t done anything at all!
The priest is disqualified, the priest is disqualified!
Cecily said proudly, "Master Zesta, my good friend Miss Huihui did it! In other words, I think it's not an exaggeration to say that I defeated the undead!"
She was quick to take credit and flatter herself.
In response, Zesta also said: "Ms. Huihui once taught me the wisdom of persuading believers. In other words, it was my advisor who defeated me. I think it is not an exaggeration to say that I defeated him."
These two people are of the same character!
As expected of an Axis cultist.
Darkness also sighed and said, "I think you guys are really going too far. Can you all leave?"
“Damn it, you Eris cultist with a filthy body! Are you underestimating my contribution?” Zesta shouted at Darkness angrily.
Although he can do everything, he will not do anything except demons and Eris followers. Does this mean he is quite principled?
Darkness blushed and said, “It’s not an obscene body! Stop insulting me!”
She looked at Xiaolin for help.
But Xiao Lin didn't have time to care about her because he had just heard something very, very, very annoying.
“Wait a minute. Just now, Zesta-san said that he had learned the wisdom of persuading believers from Megumin. What’s going on here?”
"He didn't say."
Lying on the ground, Megumin answered decisively.
"I didn't ask you."
Kobayashi suppressed his anger and asked Zesta, “I say, was it Megumin who came up with that idiot’s persuasion method?”
“That’s right!” Zesta said proudly, “That groundbreaking persuasion method was proposed by Miss Megumin! I’m really touched!”
“Megumin——!”
Xiao Lin pulled the little Loli who was lying on the ground limply over and slapped her on the butt.
"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts!"
Huihui screamed in pain, “You attacked me when I couldn’t move. How despicable! I’m sorry. I’m sincerely reflecting on my actions now!”
It's not just about being beaten and reflecting on yourself.
In fact, when they traveled to Alcanretia, the capital of water, Huihui’s pockets were filled with applications for membership in the Axis Church, and her spirit was almost broken.
I think she was already reflecting on herself at that time.
When Xiao Lin thought of this, he was so angry that he slapped her butt several times.
After defeating the undead, the group returned to the guild and handed the adventurer card to Luna for final confirmation.
"Yes, that's right."
Luna handed the card back and said with a smile, "Congratulations on defeating the undead. Thank you for your hard work."
“I did it, Master Zesta!” Cecily cheered and asked quickly, “So, do you agree that I can stay in Axel City…”
"Um……"
Zesta thought for a moment and said, "Cecily, a believer! If you are an Axis believer, you should be free. Even if you don't work at all, it's okay to be free sometimes, so you should continue to help Aqua-sama from now on."
"Okay! Cecily, I will do my best to help and indulge Lady Aqua!" She said this with a solemn promise.
"and many more."
Xiaolin rolled his eyes and said, "It's because you guys indulged Aqua too much that she became like that. You should be strict with her sometimes!"
"To me, Aqua is like making a bad friend. It makes me feel uneasy..."
Darkness sighed deeply.
“Hehe.” Zesta said with a smile, “As Cecily’s boss, I will take good care of this place. Don’t worry.”
"So don't worry! Please give me your guidance from now on! ...Are you going to stay here too, Master Zesta?!"
Cecily smiled widely, but her expression soon changed.
"Yeah. After seeing Miss Cecily today, I think I still have to watch you."
When Zesta said this, the other people also looked unhappy.
One Axis cultist is annoying enough, and I really don't know what to do if another one comes.
"but……"
Zesta changed the subject and said, "I will not go to see Aqua-sama. I will only help in secret, so I have to keep it secret here."
"I understand, Master Zesta! I will always rely on you when I am short of money or need a guarantor!"
Cecily's scumbag nature is fully exposed.
Even Zesta sighed and said, "Sure enough, I should send you back to Alcanretia..."
"Then Mr. Jesta, what is the real reason why you decided to stay?" Kobayashi saw through his true colors and continued to ask.
"Indeed..."
Zesta said without blushing or panting: "After using the authority of the ruler of Alcanrecia to decide that all hot springs must be mixed baths, he was kicked out."
"Hey, let this guy go back!"
"That's right, let him go!"
Megumin and Darkness looked unconvinced, but honestly, this suggestion was pretty good.
