[ After receiving the invitation from the First Princess, Kazuma planned to have Darkness attend in a maid outfit, but there was something more important to do before meeting the princess.
That was to go to Wiz's shop and check on his masterpiece… boxes upon boxes of lighters in various shapes!
Wiz was dancing with excitement: "This is definitely going to sell big!"
Watching Darkness and Megumin happily playing with the lighters, Aqua, who was nearly stuffing her face full of crumbs, let out a disdainful sneer: "It's just a mere lighter, what's there to be happy about? I could also…"
Aqua reached out for a lighter, but her hand was slapped away by Kazuma with a smack.
"No, you pay for it!"
Hearing this, Aqua immediately started pestering him: "Huh? Why can they take them for free, but I can't?!"
"Because you didn't help with anything!" Speaking of this made Kazuma angry: "Megumin helped with the production, Darkness helped introduce the wholesalers, but you just ate, slept, and slept, ate in the room, didn't you?!"
"If you want one, hurry up and go outside to solicit customers for me!"
Upon hearing this, Aqua puffed up her cheeks with tears in her eyes, looking like she was about to cry: "Waaaaah, you ungrateful guy! Even though Kazuma goes around sniffing the clothes we take off to wash, I intended to keep that secret for you!" ]

〜Projection of All Worlds〜
"Selling lighters in a magic world… uh, it's hard to say if it will sell well, but the shape of these lighters is so avant-garde!"
"Aqua is already dumb, and you're still bullying her… But why does Aqua know so many of Kazuma's secrets!"
Watching Kazuma's scummy behavior on the screen, everyone outside the video looked impressed… As expected, when it comes to being a pervert, it has to be you, Scum-zuma! As a human being, you have lost completely and utterly.
To be able to make any perverted act seem completely reasonable when applied to you is also a kind of talent!
.....
〜Gintama World〜
Eating then sleeping, sleeping then eating all day long… Shinpachi looked speechless at a certain useless bum lying on the sofa with dead-fish eyes. No wonder it felt so familiar.
"The useless goddess has turned into a useless MADAO. Go get a job!"
No wonder Kazuma doesn't like Aqua. It turns out she didn't help at all, and while others were working hard, she was just hugging a wine bottle and sleeping all day.
Just as Shinpachi wanted to say something more, he saw Gintoki and Kagura whispering to each other. Kagura's gaze towards Shinpachi became increasingly wary.
"Oi, oi, Shinpachi-kun. The Yorozuya has a beautiful girl like me present. You, a ten-thousand-year-old cherry boy, haven't done such perverted things, right?"
.....
"I haven't done such perverted things!!"
Inside the Shinsengumi headquarters, Yamazaki's whole face turned red from holding it in, looking like he was about to cry on the spot. Why do they always pick on me alone to bully?
"Yamazaki, I believe in you."
The Gorilla nodded, crossing his arms and speaking in a deep voice:
"After all, sniffing a girl's gym shorts or licking the recorder she played… every man has done such things."
"Kazuma is just a kid going through puberty. Just like how I chase Otae-san, it can't be considered perverted."
Listening to the Gorilla's speech, veins popped out on Hijikata Toshiro's forehead:
"Kondo-san, so the reason you're a perverted stalker is also that you're going through puberty?! That is a crime."
.....
[ Kazuma suffered social death on the spot again. In the end, Aqua still went outside the small shop and started her best acrobatic performance, conjuring a flock of white doves from a white cloth!
This scene drew cheers from a large audience, who clamored for an encore.
Kazuma looked speechlessly at Aqua outside the window: "What is that guy doing! She's forgotten her purpose, hasn't she?"
Although he told her to solicit customers, he didn't tell her to play around this wildly. She was even stealing the customers who were supposed to come into the shop.
Basking in the cheers of the crowd, Aqua put on a professional air and refused the audience's tips: "Please do not throw money, I am not an entertainer!"
Like an artist, she seemed to have a certain unyielding reserve regarding such matters!
Vanir, who had just returned, stared blankly at the scene in front of the shop door, then roared at Aqua: "KISAMA!! It's not enough that you sprinkle holy water on my shop's doorknob every day, now you've finally started directly obstructing my business?!"
Fortunately, seeing the situation, Wiz took advantage of the time the two were arguing to start pulling customers into the shop for a look. Soon, Vanir's masks and the lighters became best-selling products.
Wiz's small shop finally had a long queue. Vanir even gave a black mask to Kazuma, saying that wearing it under the moonlight would increase his magical power. ]

〜Grand Blue Dreaming World〜
"This… is that amount of pigeons for real?"
Iori looked at the flock of white doves in utter astonishment. This wasn't the magic show he had imagined at all!
Other people conjure one; you, on the other hand, conjure an entire breeding farm directly. Isn't that quantity a bit too much?
With this skill, you could get rich just by selling pigeons. Why be an adventurer?
"Has Aqua forgotten her purpose for coming out? Where are the customers?"
Azusa-senpai's smile froze.
She was told to pull in customers, but she pulled all the customers over to watch her performance instead. As expected, one really can't keep up with the Goddess of Wisdom's train of thought. You're supposed to funnel the customers into the shop!
And saying "Please don't throw money, I'm not an entertainer"… anyone who didn't know better would think she was there to cause trouble.
〜OVERLORD World〜
"Pouring holy water on someone's doorknob every day… As expected of you, Aqua. You really have the nerve to do that!"
Ainz was speechless. Should he praise her for her patience?
Especially since both Wiz and Vanir are races that hate holy water. It's equivalent to the doorknob being electrified; they get shocked once every day they open the door.
Usually, she's never this serious when going on quests, but she's persistent when doing these kinds of things. Sure enough, this guy is just here to cause trouble.
Shalltear also looked at Aqua on the screen with some disgust:
"Is this goddess… usually this idle-arinsu?"
If she has nothing to do, she should go on quests. Why is she always tormenting Wiz? Thanks to her, Wiz has become a regular visitor to the Sanzu River, reporting in on time every day.
However, Vanir did a good job. He managed to operate Wiz's shop, which was on the verge of bankruptcy, to the point where lines started to form!
.....
[ Afterward, the group arrived at Darkness's house to prepare for the audience with the princess and began selecting formal wear for Aqua and the others.
Aqua looked at the loose clothes on her body and couldn't stop complaining: "Hey, it's a bit baggy. It would be nice if there were something slimmer."
If Aqua's issue was just that she wasn't big enough to fill out the clothes, then Megumin was in a league of her own. The moment she let go of her hands, the clothes just fell down…
Megumin's eyes went dead, and she said without emotion:
"How should I put this… it fell right down with a whoosh! Do you have anything smaller?"
Darkness hesitated for a moment: "I do, but those dresses seem to be the ones I wore when I was a child…"
In the end, Aqua and Megumin changed into decent dresses. Darkness didn't forget to remind them: "Absolutely do not do anything rude. Improper speech could result in losing your head in minutes."
Kazuma also happened to have something to say to them: "If the princess says she wants me by her side, I might consider moving! Please be prepared for that!"
This confused the other three. Before the main gate to meet the princess, Darkness reminded them once more: "Listen well, I will handle Princess Iris! You just need to eat and agree with me!" ]
[ .....]
〜KonoSuba: God's Blessing on This Wonderful World〜
"Sigh… how should I put this… the future is promising!"
Kazuma patted Megumin's shoulder with a face full of pity. This kid must have taken quite a blow.
He was serious about the 'future is promising' part. After all, every girl in the Crimson Demon seemed to have a good figure, so Megumin might not be without a chance.
"Hey, why are you looking at me with such pitiful eyes? Believe it or not, I'll take us all down together."
Megumin's eyes were lifeless as she gathered mana, ready to fire an Explosion and perish together at any moment.
"Calm down, Megumin!"
Aqua hugged Megumin and started wailing:
"I don't want to sleep in the stables anymore! If you blow up the house, we'll all have to sleep on the street!"
Meanwhile, far away in the capital, the First Princess Iris also looked down at her own flat chest…
After letting out an almost inaudible sigh, she puffed up her cheeks again:
"Am I that scary… Improper speech wouldn't result in losing a head in minutes, right?"
