"Chris, what's wrong with you? Why do you seem so afraid of this, this man who looks so dangerous?" Darkness pointed at Xia Wei, who was approaching with a mischievous smile.
Seeing that wicked expression, an aura that suggested he might do something bad to women at any moment, she felt as if an invisible valve had been touched, and she became excited.
"Don't, don't point, Darkness! Please don't point, and I beg you, don't speak for now!" Chris was on the verge of collapsing, quickly covering Darkness's mouth, a wailing sound escaping her own.
"Mmm mmm mmm—(Why?)" Darkness was full of questions.
"Don't be so nervous, I'm just here for a relaxing vacation," Xia Wei said, looking at Chris, whose cheeks had turned into an emoji.
As expected of the KonoSuba World, even the Lucky Goddess, who could be considered normal, was so interesting.
"Also, don't report my presence to the higher-ups, or I'll be very displeased."
Large beads of sweat dripped from Chris's forehead as she nodded like a pecking chick: "Understood, understood."
She breathed a sigh of relief, realizing that this Genesis God was here for a vacation, and not for anything strange. That was truly wonderful.
A Genesis God, merely a casual movement could cause world-shattering changes to a plane.
If the Divine Realm were to investigate, she would be in trouble.
After all, this was the plane she was Guardian of. Without a Guardian plane, she would have to return to the Divine Realm to work for other great deities.
The thought of endless overtime work made her want to collapse; a life of labor was simply not a life for a god.
"Mm." Xia Wei nodded, turned, and walked towards the Adventurers' Guild in the center of Aksel.
Of course, he wasn't becoming an Adventurer; he was purely going to have some drinks.
Of course, it was also because it was a gathering place for familiar figures.
"You scared me to death—" Chris collapsed onto the ground, hands propped on the floor, her eyes shaped like fried eggs.
She was just a newly promoted minor goddess, a nobody in the Divine Realm. Above her were great goddesses, main gods, and the elder gods of the Divine Realm Council.
Even these elder gods, super deities who had existed since the world's inception, she had only seen when she became the 'Lucky Goddess.'
Yet, even the elder gods did not give her a feeling that was one-billionth as powerful as the 'Genesis God.'
Is this the 'Genesis God'? Omniscient and omnipotent, all things unified, creating worlds with a mere raise of a hand.
She had only read about the legends of the 'Genesis God' in the Divine Realm library.
No god had ever seen the 'Genesis God,' not even the elder gods.
But the 'Genesis God' truly existed; one could feel it upon becoming a god and ascending to divinity.
That's why she was certain that this 'Genesis God' was not from her own world, but from another, and far more powerful than the 'Genesis God' of her world.
"Chris, what exactly happened? What is your relationship with that very powerful man?" Darkness asked, frowning. Her good friend didn't seem to be bullied, but she didn't understand what exactly had happened.
"Darkness, it's nothing major, but you must remember, that person just now was an extremely, extremely important figure, more powerful than the Demon King or a Duke of Hell. You absolutely must not offend him."
"Huh?" Darkness looked bewildered: "More powerful than the Demon King and a Duke of Hell? Is he a god?"
She and Chris had known each other for less than a month, and she didn't know what experiences her good friend had had.
"Just don't offend him, that's all," Chris said earnestly.
"Mm, I know, Chris, more powerful than the Demon King," Darkness became even more excited, then patted her chest,
her cheeks flushed, and she started acting strangely.
"No wonder I had that, that feeling about him. More powerful than the Demon King, then he must be a Demon God! S-ha, s-ha…"
"Hmph, Demon God. I worship the Lucky Goddess Eris. If a Demon God dares to cause trouble, Goddess Eris will surely not stand by idly."
At this, Darkness took out the Eris cult emblem from her chest, holding it in both hands as she prayed devoutly.
Chris's cheek twitched, and she roared internally: "Darkness! You're setting up a goddess!"
If it weren't for knowing that the 'Genesis God' probably wouldn't target her, a minor goddess, she couldn't account for her own worshipper's recklessness.
She could already imagine her worshippers and priests spreading the false news that the Genesis God was a Demon God, leading wave after wave of Eris cult worshippers to charge in and be sent to their deaths, infuriating the 'Genesis God' who would then pluck off her head and throw it into the Divine Realm.
Then the 'Divine Realm' would erupt, seeking revenge for her and initiating a divine war against the Genesis God from another world, only for the Genesis God to destroy the Divine Realm in anger.
Chris's face turned green, and she hugged her arms, shivering, then instantly reacted and shrieked.
"That's right! No one must provoke him! Otherwise, my head will be plucked off!"
Chris hurriedly ran towards the Adventurers' Guild. Having secretly been a thief for so long, she understood the nature of some Adventurers all too well.
"Eh! Wait for me, Chris." Darkness was confused and quickly followed.
Adventurers' Guild.
Its scale was immeasurably smaller than the Adventurers' Guild in Akame ga Kill!, but this was normal, as it was just a small town.
Aside from helping those who wished to become Adventurers awaken, the Adventurers' Guild's most important function was accepting quests from around the town.
In addition, the Adventurers' Guild also served as a 'tavern,' as most Adventurers were a group of people who pursued freedom and passion, so drinking was essential, and this was an extra income for the 'Adventurers' Guild.'
Ordinary Adventurers accepted quests, received payment, and then spent money drinking at the Adventurers' Guild, forming an unbreakable cycle of labor.
In the end, all the hard-earned money went into the Adventurers' Guild's pockets.
"Welcome! If you wish to eat, please find an empty seat."
"If you are looking for work, please proceed to the counter at the back."
The golden-haired Guild staff member spoke cheerfully, then carried a bottle of beer to a customer's table where he was eating.
"Oh—" some of the female Adventurers who weren't yet drunk gasped, while the males cast annoyed glances.
Xia Wei looked around. In a corner, a loli girl with an eye patch, wearing a cloak and a witch's pointed hat, was lying on a long bench, oblivious to others' gazes, clutching her stomach and looking listless.
He walked to the counter, where a very well-built, blonde woman stood. She was almost thirty, and seemed to have intentionally pulled her neckline very low to attract male attention; it was so low that it was practically the northern hemisphere, making a collar meaningless.
"So, how may I help you?" Luna had been captivated by Xia Wei the moment he entered, her heart fluttering rapidly.
Wow! An incredibly handsome young man! This, this is too handsome!
If, if only she could marry such a handsome young man! That would be truly blissful!
She was already 28, and her colleagues from the same period were all announcing their engagements. She was anxious; she was almost thirty and was about to be left on the shelf.
