If Yuto had known Aqua became like this after drinking alcohol, he absolutely would not have let her drink!
"Cheers!!!"
Aqua had already seated herself in front of Lucoa.
She shouted loudly, raised her cup, and clinked glasses with the former goddess.
After the crisp sound of glass rang out, Aqua drained her cup in one gulp.
"Phew—ha!" she vented boldly and loudly, looking exactly like a middle-aged man drinking at a late-night street stall gathering.
"Hahahaha, refreshing! I didn't expect a dragon like you to be unexpectedly good at drinking!" Aqua familiarly patted Lucoa on the shoulder, a movement that inevitably made Lucoa's body sway in a breathtaking way.
Lucoa looked at Yuto with a troubled expression.
He didn't think he could persuade a drunken, crazy goddess to stop.
After seeing his helpless expression, Lucoa could only silently continue clinking glasses with Aqua.
With each successive toast, Aqua would familiarly pat Lucoa on the shoulder after drinking.
At the same time, her movements became increasingly casual, gradually developing in the direction of a rough man.
Her left hand held her cup while her right hand kept striking the table, and from time to time, she even waved both hands in the air.
Such an extremely excited display usually meant someone had drunk too much.
"Ugh..." Eris let out a soft whimper.
She covered her eyes, somewhat unable to bear watching her senpai goes crazy, though the gaps between her fingers were very wide.
Every time she saw her senpai drink another cup, she couldn't help sighing.
"Boss, I'm sorry..." Eris apologized softly.
She lowered her head, her face flushed as she keep apologizing.
Yuto sighed helplessly. "I was the one who let her drink. Eris, you don't need to apologize."
His mindset had calmed down, it was just someone getting drunk, which was the most common thing in a restaurant.
At the moment, nearly all the gazes in the restaurant were focused on Aqua.
The only exception was Fafnir, first, he hated goddesses, and second, he was focused on his game.
Aside from him, the trio, Kaguya, Reiko, and the others were all watching the heavily drunk Aqua.
"Ooooooh!!! Next, I shall give everyone a talent performance!!! Let's liven up the atmosphere!!!"
Putting down her cup, Aqua spread her arms and stood up with extreme joy and satisfaction.
Everyone's gazes focused once again.
Even Yuto's eyes showed a little curiosity, after all, this was a goddess's talent performance, so curiosity and anticipation were only natural.
Eris, however, covered her face and did not dare look directly at her senpai!
"Watch carefully!!! This is an essential skill of the Axis Cult! A divine skill specially used to liven up banquets!!!"
Splash—
After Aqua shouted loudly, two fans appeared in her hands.
She raised them, flicked them open with a swish, and began spraying water like an artificial fountain created by aiming water guns into the sky.
Two fans produced two streams of water, and at the same time, another stream shot up from the top of her head.
Seeing a water pillar shoot out of the top of her head, Yuto couldn't help feeling emotional.
'As expected of a goddess! When it comes to comedy, she's serious!'
He really wanted to laugh, but he held it in. However, the others did not, Rimuru and Reiko both laughed.
As if their laughter gave her motivation, Aqua shifted her feet, crossed her hands, and an excited smile appeared on her face.
"It's not over yet! It's not over yet! Watch carefully! The essence comes next!!!" Her voice gradually rose from low to high.
When she spoke the final word, she suddenly spread her crossed arms apart and returned her feet to a standing position.
Along with this movement, flowers directly grew from the tips of the fans that had originally been spraying water!
At the same time, the water spraying from the top of her head turned into flowers growing from the top of her head!
It was an extremely comical scene, especially watching the flowers slowly grow outward like a skyrocket.
Yuto finally couldn't hold back and laughed out loud.
He placed his hand in front of Eris. Her face was already flushed with embarrassment and shame, but seeing Yuto's hand, she raised her head.
"Eris, in the divine realm, is this senpai of yours responsible for the comedy side of things?" Yuto asked with a smile.
Eris wanted to argue, but when she glanced at Aqua—currently performing a one-legged stance—she lost her strength.
"No. Lady Aqua is the goddess of water..." she defended weakly.
"I see. No wonder she can spray water..." Yuto nodded in understanding.
He looked at Aqua, who was now standing on one leg while spraying water and sprouting flowers from the top of her head, and couldn't stop feeling emotional.
'Hestia, you're actually a really good goddess.' Yuto inwardly apologized to a certain goddess.
...
At that moment, in a tavern far away in another world, Hestia, wearing a waitress outfit, couldn't help but sneez.
"Strange. Why do I feel like I'm being mocked for some reason?" she wondered, confused.
...
"Watch carefully. I've named this one: Fish Leaping Out of Water!" Aqua intensified her performance.
This time, she leapt into the air, arching her body backward in an extremely beautiful posture as she performed a backflip, her arms elegantly placed behind her head.
If one ignored the fact that she was spitting water from her mouth, it really was very beautiful.
"That's amazing! Do another one!!!"
"Another one!"
For some inexplicable reason, Rimuru and the others began cheering her.
The small restaurant turned into a large-scale street performance venue for Aqua.
Even Yuto was amazed.
Aqua's miraculous banquet-livening skill was truly useful!
He felt that if the restaurant ever held a gathering one day, they absolutely had to invite her!
She was quite good at livening up the atmosphere.
Eris covered her face, truly unable to keep watching.
Today, she should never have come here with Aqua.
After returning to the divine realm yesterday, Aqua had accidentally discovered her temporary disappearance.
After questioning her and finding out about the restaurant, Aqua half-forced Eris to bring her here.
When she came, Eris had felt that something would probably happen tonight, and now... sure enough.
The goddess of water was performing tricks in public, bringing joy to the entire hall.
The gods had lost their dignity!
Clatter—
The King of Conquerors arrived.
As soon as he entered the restaurant, he saw Aqua performing her special technique, "Twin Dragons Emerging from Water." He couldn't help but laugh.
Then he looked toward Yuto.
"Boss, is this a new comedy performer you hired? She's quite excellent!" His rough and bold voice was filled with endless joy, and his raised thumb made Eris even more embarrassed!
Yuto smiled and shook his head. "No, she's actually a goddess."
The King of Conquerors clearly didn't believe him, but when he saw Yuto's serious and helpless eyes, he sucked in a cold breath.
This goddess truly shattered his common sense!
He sat down and began watching the performance. Aqua sprayed water from her fans for a while, then shot water from the top of her head, winning applause from the whole room.
Lord El-Melloi II, who entered afterward, asked the same thing as Iskandar before sitting down to watch the special performance.
"Tonight's Aqua talent show ends here! Thank you, everyone~ Love you all~" Aqua swayed as she laughed loudly at everyone, finally stopping.
Clap, clap, clap, clap, clap.
A burst of enthusiastic applause was the best praise for her performance.
The King of Conquerors even stood up and invited her.
"Aqua, do you want to become my subject? You are truly too interesting. If I had someone like you among my subordinates, things would definitely be much livelier." Iskandar extended his large hand toward her as he spoke.
"Hah?! Do you know who I am?! I am the great goddess of water! How could I lower myself beneath a mortal?!"
Perhaps because she was drunk, Aqua staggered and swung her foot up onto a chair with a loud smack.
Her entire aura was full of bandit-like energy, making Yuto sigh.
This goddess was truly extraordinary!
He looked back at Eris.
"Ugh... don't look at me," Eris groaned, not even daring to meet his gaze.
"Hahahaha, interesting! If you had appeared in my era, I definitely would have made you the royal court performer!" Iskandar laughed heartily, truly amused by Aqua.
Aqua seemed angered by his words.
Just as she was about to say something, she suddenly retched.
Seeing this, Yuto immediately had Tohru take a bag and cover Aqua's mouth.
Immediately afterward came a barrage of vomiting sounds.
Yuto was shocked.
'A goddess can drink until she vomits?! That's way too ridiculous!'
"Ah— I'm sleepy."
After vomitting, Aqua raised her head and wiped the rainbow from the corner of her mouth.
'As expected of a goddess! She actually vomits rainbows!' Yuto was shocked once again.
Aqua's eyes were hazy. After sitting down unsteadily, she immediately collapsed.
After all, she had drunk a lot of alcohol and performed an intense restaurant talent show.
Thinking about it that way, vomiting seemed quite normal.
"Ahhh!!! Boss, I'll take Lady Aqua and leave first!" Eris immediately stood up, ran over to Aqua, and carried her on her back.
"Hic! I can still drink!!!" Even on Eris's back, Aqua was still restless.
Eris came in front of Yuto with a red face.
"Boss, this is the compensation I promised you last night. Holding it will make you luckier. I'll be leaving first, Goodbye everyone."
She hurriedly handed over a coin with unusual patterns before quickly leaving with Aqua on her back.
"Ooooooh!!! I am the strongest, most beautiful, and wisest Aqua!!!!"
Aqua kept making shouting nonsense.
Eris's face was so red it could not get any redder!
She truly did not want to stay in the restaurant for even another second; this secondhand embarrassment was far too intense!
After Eris left, Yuto picked up the coin.
A woman's face was engraved on it, looking a little like Eris.
He thought of Eris hurrying away and couldn't help smiling. After placing the coin on himself, he had Tohru clean the floor that Aqua had dirtied.
Since it was only some water, mopping it would be enough.
Aqua's performance could be considered one of the restaurant's rare entertainment activities, even if it was a bit costly for the goddess!
