Izumi stared at the idiot goddess in front of him, utterly speechless.
Without hesitation, he raised his hand and chopped her lightly on the head.
Thunk.
"Calm down."
"I'm not going to kill you."
"So shut it."
Aqua froze.
Tears welled up in her eyes as she looked at Izumi in disbelief.
"…You're serious?"
"But—more importantly—WHY ARE THERE GODSLAYERS IN THIS WORLD?!"
That was the part that terrified her the most.
She didn't remember any gods being killed recently.
So why did people like this exist here?
And not just one—two of them.
Satou Kazuma slowly crawled up from the ground, his soul visibly halfway gone.
"…Godslayers?"
That meant—
People who had killed gods.
Izumi and Kanon both carried the unmistakable curse of divinity—a stigma only those who had slain gods could possess.
As a goddess, Aqua sensed it immediately.
And the moment she laid eyes on them, fear was the only thing left in her heart.
Izumi sighed and looked at the trembling Aqua.
"Enough already."
"Let's make a deal."
Aqua blinked, confused.
The others—Eriri and the rest—were equally baffled.
What was Izumi planning?
Izumi didn't explain further.
He simply pulled out his adventurer card and held it in front of Aqua.
"Show me your skill list."
"I'll pay you 100 eris per skill."
...
Is he… giving alms to a beggar?
That was everyone's first thought.
No one in their right mind would agree to that.
However—
Aqua's eyes instantly lit up.
"Deal!!"
Everyone collapsed.
THIS is a goddess?!
Izumi ignored the collective shock and began carefully selecting skills from Aqua's list.
Aside from divine talents that couldn't be learned, Aqua actually had quite a lot of usable abilities.
[Heal] – Restores injuries.
[Resurrection] – Revives a recently deceased being as long as the body remains intact (one-time only).
[Purification] – Purifies filth; can even turn toilets into sacred spaces.
[Turn Undead] – Deals massive damage to undead and demons.
[Sacred Turn Undead] – Annihilates undead and demons within a wide area.
[Dispel] – Removes curses from a target.
[Sacred Dispel] – Removes all levels of curses, magic, and even barriers.
[Create Water] – Summons water for attack or utility; power depends on mana.
[Barrier] – Effective against undead and demons.
[Blessing: Luck Boost] – Increases luck.
[Blessing: Attribute Boost] – Raises strength, agility, mana, etc.
[Repair] – Restores objects perfectly without leaving any trace.
These were the skills Izumi wanted.
As for the mountain of bizarre party tricks and entertainer skills, Izumi silently looked away.
This goddess was truly beyond redemption.
"So, twelve skills total."
"That's 1,200 eris."
Izumi paid without hesitation.
Aqua stared at the money in her hands.
Then—
"FINALLY—I HAVE MONEY!!"
"Kazuma, did you see that?!"
"This goddess earned money today!! Hahahaha!"
She laughed proudly.
Kazuma stared at her with hollow eyes.
So embarrassing…
At the same time, he couldn't help but think—
Isn't this guy totally scamming her?
But he said nothing.
A useless goddess getting taken advantage of was just karma.
Besides—he wanted to cling to Izumi's leg himself.
Izumi reviewed the skills now stored in his mind and nodded in satisfaction.
They weren't very useful for him personally.
But for others?
They were invaluable.
Almost all of them were priest-type skills.
Letting Asia Argento learn them would be perfect.
With that thought, Izumi shared the skill list.
"Anyone who wants to learn them, go ahead."
"They're all support skills, but they're very practical."
Le Fay Pendragon and Kanase Kanon immediately stepped forward.
Without hesitation—
They learned every single one.
The others couldn't.
They didn't have Izumi's absurd number of skill points.
"…Izumi-sama."
Asia tugged gently at his sleeve, eyes sparkling with longing.
"I don't have any skill points…"
She wanted them.
Desperately.
Izumi smiled softly.
"It's fine."
"That idiot goddess isn't going anywhere."
"You can come back and learn them later."
"Now—let's go find a house."
With that, Izumi turned to leave.
Kazuma panicked.
"W-WAIT A SECOND!!"
"Boss—no, senpai—please let me cling to you!"
"You all came together… does that mean you died too?!"
He desperately wanted information about his original world.
The reactions he got were… strange.
Aqua crossed her arms and snorted.
"They didn't die."
"You're the only one who died."
"…They're from another world, not yours."
Aqua knew enough about interworld systems to explain that much.
Kazuma froze.
"…Another world?"
"Like… isekai protagonists?"
"For real?"
"So you're the legendary main character party?!"
He recalled all the novels he'd read.
Then looked at the girls around Izumi.
This is it. This is the protagonist.
Overpowered strength.
Surrounded by beautiful girls.
Kazuma glanced at Aqua.
Then back at Izumi.
Tears of envy streamed down his face.
I'm just a background character, aren't I…
Izumi noticed and patted his shoulder.
"Cheer up, kid."
"Got any other questions?"
"I'll answer what I can."
"Courtesy of fellow isekai travelers."
...
'Fellow isekai travelers' my ass, Kazuma thought.
In this world, half the population were probably isekai'd.
Still, he asked eagerly.
When he learned that Izumi came from an entirely different world—one filled with multiple races and countless civilizations—Kazuma was stunned.
And when he heard that an entire school had been sent here?
"…That's insane."
