Emiya froze for a moment and pointed at his own neck. "Ais-san, you want me to choose for you?"
"I don't understand," Ais said seriously. "So I want to hear your opinion."
Although she was a bit of a natural airhead, she wasn't actually clueless.
Emiya thought for a moment. "Honestly, I haven't seen a Sword Master before, so I don't have a clear idea of what they can do. I'm not very familiar with Sword Master skills, but..."
He reached out and pulled Darkness over. "This is Darkness. She's a Crusader. She has a screw loose and spent all her skill points on defense, so she can't hit enemies at all and basically has no attack power. But her defense is undeniably strong."
After all, she could even tank Explosion Magic.
That level of defense was absurd.
Darkness's face flushed as she squirmed. "You're insulting me and saying I have a screw loose in front of everyone. Ugh... this feeling isn't bad."
Emiya: ...
Right. That's Darkness.
Riveria had a black line on her forehead. Seeing Ais's confused expression, she quickly changed the subject.
"Ais, I recommend choosing Crusader. Your attack power is already extremely high. If you switch to Crusader and improve your defense as well, your future adventures will be much easier."
Emiya nodded. "I agree. Crusader suits you very well. More importantly, you already have a senior here. You can always ask Darkness for guidance."
With both of them giving the same advice, Ais didn't hesitate.
"I understand. I'll choose Crusader."
Afterward, Ais changed her class to Crusader and gained more than twenty skill points.
Under Darkness's guidance, she learned several skills, and her defense and endurance increased dramatically.
Learning skills really was that exaggerated.
The group returned to the table and sat down.
Emiya asked, "Aqua, what quest did you accept while I was gone?"
Aqua took out a piece of paper and placed it on the table.
Emiya picked it up and read it.
"Purify the lake. The lake, one of the town's water sources, has deteriorated in quality and is now inhabited by ferocious alligators. Adventurers are needed to purify the water. Once purified, the monsters will naturally leave. No need to defeat them. Requirement: A priest who has learned 'Purification' magic. Reward: 300,000 Eris."
So it was this one.
Emiya remembered this quest from the original events. Aqua's group had completed it as well.
"Who accepted this quest?" Emiya asked.
"Obviously me," Aqua said proudly. "For a goddess like me, this kind of quest is easy."
Emiya didn't doubt it.
As the Goddess of Water, this was trivial for her. The reward was generous, too.
"Alright," Emiya said. "Since you accepted it, let's go."
The group left the Adventurers' Guild, rode their electric scooters, and headed toward the lake.
...
Not far from Axel lay a large lake.
It was one of the town's water sources. A small river flowed from the lake all the way to Axel, and mountain water continuously poured into it from one side.
When Emiya's group arrived, the change was obvious.
The once-clear lake had turned murky. Silt had accumulated along the bottom, making the water completely undrinkable.
In the center of the lake, a group of alligators swam back and forth.
Emiya glanced at them. They didn't seem to have noticed the group yet.
He nodded at Aqua. "Let's begin."
Before arriving, Aqua had been full of confidence. But when she saw the ferocious alligators up close, her courage evaporated.
She looked at Emiya nervously. "Y-you'll protect me, right?"
"Don't worry," Emiya said calmly. "With us here, those alligators won't get within ten meters of you."
"Really?"
"Really."
"You absolutely, absolutely have to protect me."
"Don't worry."
Facing the frightened Aqua, Emiya reassured her patiently. He had plenty of patience for this.
With his reassurance, Aqua finally gathered her courage. She stepped up to the lake, placed one hand into the water, and began purifying the impurities.
As the Goddess of Water, Aqua naturally possessed purification abilities. Even without casting Purification magic, she could cleanse water directly.
The group stood guard around her, watching for any alligator attacks.
Hours passed.
The alligators still showed no sign of attacking.
The lake was enormous. It would take Aqua nearly half a day to purify it completely, and the slow-witted alligators hadn't yet realized what was happening.
But that wouldn't last forever.
As time went on, the lake water gradually cleared.
Finally noticing the change, the alligators locked onto Aqua standing at the shore and slowly swam toward her.
When Aqua looked up and saw them approaching, she panicked instantly. Tears welled up as she shouted, "Hurry! Hurry and protect me!"
Emiya, of course, wouldn't let them get close.
Before the alligators could reach her, eight psychic hands shot out, easily grabbing the eight beasts and yanking them out of the water.
"Riveria," Emiya signaled.
Riveria nodded and began chanting.
But-
"I'll do it."
Before Riveria could release her magic, the Sword Princess Ais leapt forward.
"Awaken!"
A short chant left her lips. Invisible wind wrapped around her body, propelling her forward like an arrow loosed from a bow.
In an instant, she closed the distance.
A dazzling sword light bloomed in the air.
Beautiful.
Deadly.
Blood sprayed across the void.
Ais effortlessly killed all eight alligators suspended mid-air. Her momentum slowed, and she began to fall.
But she didn't fall into the lake.
She stepped precisely on the head of one alligator and jumped again.
In the instant she pushed off, the alligator beneath her feet was already dead.
Riveria stopped her chant and shook her head helplessly.
"So... so amazing," Kazuma murmured, completely stunned.
That was just too cool.
