Chapter 56 - Chapter 56: Aqua's Divinity Unleashed, A Brand New Profession!

Group Notification: Detected group member Master of the Butterfly Mansion in danger. Group rescue mission now active. Player limit: 2.

Mission Reward: 100 points.

Do you wish to participate in the group rescue mission?

"Accept Mission."

Shiraishi Kawa looked at the prompt that appeared before him and accepted it without much thought, though the chat content in the group about Aqua.

He found it slightly unbearable.

When he first heard the Sword Saint say that the Master of the Butterfly Mansion went on a mission with her sister, he could clearly sense that the Demon Slayer plot was developing.

In the original plot, there were only fragmented flashback descriptions.

Kanae Kocho, who participated in the mission, encountered the Demon Child. Kochou Shinobu went to retrieve her sister's body the next day. It seemed the Chat Group's intervention.

Caused a change in the plot.

The Master of the Butterfly Mansion, who was about to master the Holy Sword User profession,

Chose to undertake the mission with her sister. As for the crisis, it must have been encountering the Demon Child. Shiraishi Kawa had no minimal worries about the Demon Slayer World.

Even if Breathing Techniques had power,

Their overall strength was probably terrifyingly far from that of the Goblin Slayer World. It was just that Shiraishi Kawa had grasped the Demon Slayer worldview in advance.

While others were thinking and analyzing the feasibility of the mission,

He decisively accepted the mission.

100 points.

The reward offered was actually just decent, enough to solve the problem easily.

It was quite good.

He wasn't sure who his teammate for the Demon Slayer World would be yet, but to be safe, Shiraishi Kawa still chose to bring Megumin's magic staff.

After all, it was effective for large-scale area attacks.

He glanced at Miura Yumiko, who was sleeping from overexertion, covered her fair and flawless body with a blanket, and changed into a dry tracksuit.

"It's almost time to go."

In the Dimensional Chat Group, especially when Aqua had just complained that the Master of the Butterfly Mansion wasn't online to sign in, and then a group member rescue notification popped up immediately,

The dramatic effect was somewhat explosive... It completely solidified Aqua's reputation as the unluckiest in the group; even her words carried bad luck, coincidentally triggering the Chat Group's group rescue mission.

Sakurajima Mai: ...Are you really a god?

Asuna: It seems Blue Ribbon was right. Aqua-sama has signed in for only 1 point for many consecutive days. I can't imagine how bad her luck is.

Blue Ribbon: If possible, please retract your blessing to me.

Blue Ribbon: (Smiling.jpg) If it's as you say, I might never find a familiar in my life.

Future Holy Sword User: ... Bronze-Ranked Adventurer: It seems Aqua-sama's luck is indeed a bit poor compared to her strength... Aqua: This... this doesn't have much to do with me, does it? I'm a pure goddess, how could I bring bad luck just by opening my mouth?

Aqua: Forget it, I'll mercifully save the Master of the Butterfly Mansion!

Konosuba World.

Aqua, staying at the Best Inn, widened her eyes in disbelief, never having expected that the Master of the Butterfly Mansion's situation would actually come true, just as she had said.

Previously, in the Dimensional Chat Group.

I had a lot of communication with the Master of the Butterfly Mansion, but I didn't expect such an accident to occur. As for the rescue mission in the Group's notification...

"Let the others in the Chat Group see the power of Goddess Aqua!"

"I wonder who my teammates will be?"

Aqua didn't hesitate and decisively chose to accept the Master of the Butterfly Mansion's group rescue mission. Having gradually gotten used to idling in the Chat Group.

Accepting missions was now second nature to her.

Group Notification: Ordinary High School Student and Aqua have accepted the group rescue mission. They will be teleported to the member's world in 1 minute.

Group Live Stream function will now activate... "It's Shiraishi Kawa! Then this mission is definitely secure!"

Lying beside Aqua was Megumin. Hearing the commotion in the room, she merely covered her somewhat hungry stomach and slightly turned over.

Finding a comfortable position to lie in.

Still worried about waking Megumin, Aqua completely cast aside her concerns upon seeing this, not forgetting to speak in the Dimensional Chat Group.

Aqua: Ordinary High School Student, let's leave this mission to save the Master of the Butterfly Mansion to us!

Blue Ribbon: The Super Invincible Diving King?

Asuna: It feels like Ordinary High School Student rarely idles in the Chat Group; he's basically always doing missions. So, is this the reward for his hard work?

Sakurajima Mai: I want to take on missions too, but my strength isn't enough...

Ice Queen: I wonder how strong the world where the Master of the Butterfly Mansion is located is. Aqua, I remember you said you were a god?

Aqua: That's right! I used to be a god who controlled reincarnation.

Ordinary High School Student: I hope you can be of some use.

Demon Slayer World.

In a clearing in the dark forest, two figures were battling a white-haired, sinister man. The surrounding trees were destroyed by the battle's impact.

Several members of the Demon Slayer Corps had already lost their lives.

Kanae Kocho, the current Flower Pillar, with black hair and purple eyes, wearing emerald green butterfly hair clips with pink edges on both sides of her hair, held her Nichirin Blade.

She decisively swung her blade at the white-haired, rainbow-eyed demon, the current Upper Rank Two, Doma.

But he easily blocked her with his golden fan. As he gently fanned, Doma, activating his Blood Demon Art, shot out lotus-like ice crystals.

"Look out!"

Even as the current Flower Pillar, facing the Upper Rank Two demon Doma, she still found it difficult to contend, especially on this battlefield.

There was also her sister, Kochou Shinobu, whom she needed to protect.

Even fighting with all her might, she couldn't gain an advantage in the battle. Seeing the lotus-shaped ice crystals shooting towards her sister, she couldn't help but warn her.

Human skin would freeze upon contact with Doma's ice crystals, and if those tiny ice crystals were inhaled into the lungs, they would cause damage to the lungs.

Relying on the combat techniques from the Holy Sword Awakening Guide.

Kochou Shinobu felt the ice crystals shooting towards her face, briefly erupting with strength beyond her physical limits. Her figure weaved through the trees, barely dodging the attack.

"I said, why do you look so similar to that person...?"

Doma, however, didn't care at all.

He looked at Kanae Kocho with interest, indeed noticing many similarities with Kochou Shinobu. He wanted to devour Kanae Kocho before dawn.

It would be a bit difficult.

However.

Doma seemed to find an entry point through Kochou Shinobu. He smiled sinisterly and said, "It seems I can devour your sister first."

"You won't get the chance!"

Mentioning her sister.

Kanae Kocho's anger instantly ignited. She decisively used Flower Breathing, Fourth Form: Crimson Hanagoromo. Her Nichirin Blade.

Unleashed two consecutive slashes, like silk, from bottom to top.

However.

As Doma swung his fan, an ice wall instantly appeared out of nowhere, easily blocking Kanae Kocho's attack. It was a bit troublesome.

But compared to defeating her, he wanted to devour her more... Noticing the battle rhythm gradually spiraling out of control, Doma decisively shifted his target to Kanae Kocho. Just as he was about to attack, he felt a heavy blow to his abdomen.

Without any chance to react.

His body flew like a kite with a broken string, crashing through several trees before finally stopping. Doma, coughing up blood, noticed the figure in front of him.

His eyes were full of apprehension; he hadn't even caught the opponent's figure with his Blood Demon Art.

"Who are you?"

"..."

Shiraishi Kawa didn't bother to respond to Doma. If there was a problem, it was that he didn't even need an Archmage's staff.

Relying on his physical prowess, he directly delivered a powerful kick to Doma, like a soccer shot.

After confirming that the aura hadn't escaped, he turned to Aqua behind him and asked, "This world won't restrict the use of your divine power, will it?"

"Of course..."

"It won't!"

Feeling the long-lost divine power filling her body, Aqua closed her eyes and savored it. This was different from the stifling feeling she had in the other world.

Unleashed divine power.

It was like the most dazzling light in the dark night. At this moment, she finally resembled the Goddess of Water of old, radiating a pure and sacred aura.

"What is this... What's happening to me?!"

The divine light illuminated the surrounding night sky. His body was already severely damaged, and Doma instinctively feared the holy light, but he had no chance to dodge.

He only felt his body disintegrating... His survival instinct made him try to control it, but there was no result. Doma, in his endless inner confusion, completely turned to ash.

The Dimensional Chat Group's live stream was synchronized.

Hestia, who hadn't yet formed her own Familia and was currently squeezed into a dilapidated church, watched the live stream intently, crossing her legs.

Especially when she saw Shiraishi Kawa.

Her eyes lit up. As expected of the boy she valued in the Dimensional Chat Group, his strength already surpassed most Adventurers.

"I must find a way to make Shiraishi Kawa my Familia member!"

"..."

However.

As Aqua gradually gained control of her divine power, Hestia couldn't help but frown slightly. That extremely pure and vast divine power.

Indeed symbolized her extraordinary identity.

"Could this Aqua really be the Goddess of Water? Is she from another world? Now it feels like trying to recruit Shiraishi Kawa into my Familia..."

"Seems a bit more difficult."

"Ah..."

"If I had known that going to other worlds could release divine power, I should have taken this mission!" Suddenly thinking of this, Hestia felt a bit annoyed.

Esdeath frowned slightly, carefully examining the Dimensional Chat Group's live stream. The demon Doma displayed on screen felt... intuitively weak.

As a Chat Group member, Shiraishi Kawa hadn't shown particularly strong combat power, so she quickly lost interest. What she truly cared about.

Was Aqua.

This person who claimed to be the Goddess of Water.

"I just wonder how strong the gods of other worlds are?"

The depths of Esdeath's eyes burned with battle intent. Seeing that the battle had completely ended, she somewhat uninterestingly closed the Chat Group's live stream function.

Sakurajima Mai: No, is Goddess Aqua really a god?

Asuna: Why is a god's luck so bad...?

Future Holy Sword User: Aqua, can your cult really successfully become Holy Sword Users? If we don't work harder, the group's strength will be at the bottom!

Sakurajima Mai: ???

Blue Ribbon: Ordinary High School Student, Shiraishi-kun, are you really not considering becoming my Familia member? If I'm in full divine power release, I wouldn't be worse than Aqua.

Bronze-Ranked Adventurer: Is this Goddess Aqua's strength?

"..."

Not paying attention to the contents of the Dimensional Chat Group, Shiraishi Kawa had actually expected things to be very easy, as it was a complete crushing from a strength perspective.

But now he hadn't even gotten any experience!

The fleeting battle also left Kanae Kocho, who was watching, somewhat stunned. She only noticed two figures appearing out of nowhere in the vicinity.

The boy with the somewhat strange clothes.

Directly kicked Doma away, and then there was Aqua, radiating divine light, briefly illuminating the night sky. Doma, as a demon... completely vanished.

Without any ability to resist, she suppressed the shock deep within her heart.

Kanae Kocho proactively expressed her gratitude: "Thank you both for your help. I am Kanae Kocho of the Demon Slayer Corps. If it weren't for your timely assistance."

"...I'm afraid..."

"It was mainly her credit."

Divine light inflicted damage on demons comparable to real harm. In the Demon Slayer World, it was simply a dimensionality reduction strike. Shiraishi Kawa gently shook his head.

In a brief period of less than 5 minutes.

He managed to get 100 points, which was a huge profit no matter how you looked at it.

Still not realizing the matter was over, Aqua, who had finally completely mastered the divine power within her body, even felt much more like a goddess.

Yet, she still disregarded her image.

Standing beside Shiraishi Kawa, she looked left and right, wanting to find the target that needed to be killed this time, to properly salvage her divine image in the Chat Group.

"Huh?"

"Shiraishi Kawa, where is our enemy this time?"

Finally feeling a bit like a god, but Aqua's eyes always made Shiraishi Kawa feel a sense of wisdom. He pointed to the ashes at the base of a distant tree ahead.

He said with a smile, "When you regained control of your goddess divine power, it seemed like he was a demon-like existence, and his body turned to ash..."

"Does that mean the mission is over?"

Aqua blinked, looking a bit confused.

Seeing Shiraishi Kawa nod in affirmation, her emotions finally couldn't hold. She had originally wanted to complete the mission as an Archpriest.

She had just managed to regain her divine power.

She hadn't even had time to unleash her power and refresh the group members' perception of her divine identity, and it was already over just as it began?

"Can he be resurrected?"

"No."

"Why are the undead in this world so weak, ahhhhh!"

Crying and wailing without any regard for her image, this was Aqua's unique style. Seeing that Shiraishi Kawa wasn't paying attention to her.

She immediately looked at Kanae Kocho not far away, her face full of curiosity, and couldn't help but ask, "Are you the Master of the Butterfly Mansion?"

"..."

Butterfly Mansion.

Kanae Kocho certainly knew. She observed Aqua, who had blue hair and an exceptionally holy aura, and realized that the other party had no ill intentions.

She even helped her and Shinobu deal with the troublesome Doma.

However... Aqua's attitude clearly showed that she recognized Kanae Kocho, but Kanae Kocho had no impression of Aqua whatsoever.

She nodded seriously and said, "Yes, do you... know me?"

"Ah..."

Aqua, whose intelligence wasn't particularly sharp to begin with, was completely stunned. They had chatted quite a bit in the Chat Group, but now?

A young girl walking from a distance behind her shyly greeted them.

"Um..."

Kochou Shinobu, who had understood everything through the Dimensional Chat Group, first swept her gaze over Shiraishi Kawa, a familiar figure from the group's live stream.

As for the person with blue hair and a sacred aura.

That was Aqua, who participated in this group rescue mission. After she walked over, her face was a little embarrassed and she said, "Aqua-sama, it's me from the group."

"You can just call me Shinobu."

"I'm Aqua, and this is Shiraishi Kawa. You should know both of us."

Her personality was naturally outgoing.

Thinking that she would have to return to the other world soon after the mission was completed, and that the feeling of her divine power being sealed was akin to being imprisoned, Aqua looked at Kochou Shinobu and asked curiously.

"Is there anything else that needs to be dealt with?"

"N-no..."

Apparently, she had never seen a goddess with such a regrettable facial expression as Aqua. Kochou Shinobu was a little overwhelmed. She looked around.

There were no other traces of demons.

And with Doma's death, the Dimensional Chat Group quickly sent a notification.

The current group member rescue mission has been completed. Rewards are being settled... Congratulations to group members Ordinary High School Student and Aqua for receiving 100 points.

"Ah ah ah ah!"

"Shiraishi Kawa, I don't want to go back so soon!"

Aqua shrieked hysterically. Thinking that there were demons in this world that could fight like Doma, she finally found a way to prove herself.

She decisively pushed her divine power to its limit.

The holy divine light, centered around her, spread out at an uncatchable speed, stopping only after she had completely left the Demon Slayer World.

"Still quite strong..."

Aqua, as the Goddess of Water, and a deity who also oversees reincarnation, is hard to judge in terms of personality.

But when her divine power is fully restored.

Her strength is still very much online.

As he was about to be teleported back to the real world, looking at Aqua, who had turned herself into a light bulb by activating her holy divine light, a proficiency prompt popped up in front of him.
