Looking at Aqua, who was excitedly circling Tom and Jerry, Wos thought of Kazuma, who had been driven to the brink by Aqua’s antics, so he brought Kazuma up to her.
“Aqua.” Wos slowly stood up.
“Do you know a Japanese guy named Satou Kazuma?”
“Satou Kazuma?” Aqua stopped pestering Tom and turned around.
The moment she heard that name, Aqua’s expression changed instantly.
She froze for a second, then suddenly burst into earth-shaking laughter.
“Hahahahaha!!!” Aqua doubled over laughing, even laughing until tears came out.
“You mean that high schooler with the funniest death ever? Hahahaha!”
Tom and Jerry were startled by the sudden roar of laughter, and the two little ones quickly hid behind the sofa.
“His death? Was it that funny?” The corner of Wos’s eye twitched, sighing over how hard Kazuma had it.
“Of course it was funny!” Aqua wiped away tears with her little hand.
“I’ve guided so many dead people, and I’ve never seen one die this ridiculously!”
She cleared her throat and struck a pose as if about to tell a story:
“That guy named Satou Kazuma was a typical shut-in high schooler. One day he ran out to buy some limited-edition game, and on the way home he saw a girl about to be hit by a speeding truck!”
Reaching this point, Aqua couldn’t help laughing again.
“And then this guy, who thought he was a hero, rushed up and pushed the girl out of the way!”
“That sounds pretty heroic.” Wos still wanted to say a few good words for Kazuma.
After all, she probably had no idea how badly she had screwed Kazuma over in the other world.
Without her, Kazuma could have cleared that world in a month!
“Heroic my foot!” Aqua laughed even louder.
“Do you know what that speeding truck was? It was a slow-moving tractor! And it was going to stop at a safe distance anyway! That girl wouldn’t have been hurt at all!”
The corner of Wos’s mouth began to twitch.
Why did this plot sound so familiar?
“The funnier part is!” Aqua continued.
“This idiot thought he was definitely going to die, and in extreme terror he wet himself on the spot! Then he fainted dead away! Hahahaha!”
After hearing this, Tom and Jerry burst out laughing too, without a care in the world, and Tom even slapped the floor repeatedly with his hand while laughing.
“Wait, it’s not over!” Aqua waved her hand.
“After he was taken to the hospital, the medical staff saw how ridiculous the state of his body was and actually cracked up while trying to save him!”
“Cracked up?” Wos’s eye twitched wildly.
“Yes! And then this poor guy was so ashamed that his heart just stopped!” Aqua clutched her belly.
“He passed away amid everyone’s laughter! Isn’t that funny? Hahahaha!”
The room fell into an eerie silence.
Wos looked at Aqua, who was still laughing uncontrollably, and felt his worldview taking a hit.
Although he knew Kazuma’s death was bizarre, hearing Aqua describe it in person, he still thought it was too tragic.
“From shock to despair, from despair to anger, from anger to breakdown! That change of expressions was even better than a stage actor’s!”
“And then?” Wos asked curiously.
“I was going to keep mocking him,” Aqua spread her hands.
“But right when I opened my mouth, I got summoned to this world. What a shame, I still had so many jokes to make fun of him with that I didn’t get to say!”
Wos silently lit a candle for Satou Kazuma.
Being mocked by Aqua was already miserable enough, and he was going to be mocked even more, which must be a huge psychological scar.
And Kazuma, you should thank me, I’m the one who pulled you out of the sea of suffering.
But why did the summoned character have to be Aqua~ Wos wanted to cry but had no tears 〒▽〒.
Meanwhile, in the void space, Kazuma:
“Where did she go? Σ(っ°Д°;)っ A whole living person, where did she vanish to? I’d already figured out how to properly ‘repay’ her (╬▔皿▔)╯, isn’t anyone going to look after me? How am I supposed to get to the other world~ Hey~ Is anyone there?——”
·········
“But speaking of which.” Aqua suddenly turned serious.
“How do you know Satou Kazuma? Do you know each other?”
“No.” Wos quickly shook his head.
“I’ve just heard the name before.”
“Oh, I see.” Aqua nodded, then started looking around again.
“So, how do I go back?”
Wos rubbed his temples, feeling like his head was splitting.
He finally understood Kazuma’s pain now.
Living with this Useless Goddess every day was an ultimate test of one’s sanity.
“You can’t go back,” Wos said weakly.
“You’ve been summoned to this world. Unless I die, you have to stay here.”
“What?!” Aqua’s eyes went wide.
“That won’t do! This goddess still has many believers to look after! What will the Heavenly Realm do without me?”
“I don’t care! I want to go back to the Heavenly Realm!” Aqua sat on the floor, hugging her knees, looking at Wos with tears in her eyes.
“This place is run-down and dirty, and it has a weird smell! How can a goddess’s living environment be this bad!”
Tom rolled his eyes on the side.
This woman had been complaining nonstop since earlier, and she was noisier than Jerry when Tom made him cry.
Jerry, meanwhile, curiously circled around Aqua, very interested in this talking human.
He reached out a tiny paw and poked Aqua’s arm.
“Aww! So cute!” Aqua’s attention was instantly diverted, and she scooped Jerry up.
“Little mouse, what’s your name?”
Jerry pointed at himself, then used his tiny paws to trace the letters “J-E-R-R-Y” in the air.
“Jerry? What a great name!” Aqua happily spun around holding Jerry.
“And what about the cat?”
Tom couldn’t be bothered with her, jumped straight onto the sofa and lay down, covering his face with his tail to show he refused to communicate. Read this novel at novelping.com for the best experience.
“His name is Tom,” Wos introduced helplessly.
“Tom is a bit aloof, so don’t mind him.”
“I’m Wos Nibaba. From now on, if you want to live well, you have to listen to me.”
“Listen to you?” Aqua put Jerry down, planted her hands on her hips, and wore an unconvinced expression.
“Why should I? This goddess is the Goddess of Water, with a lofty status. How could I possibly listen to a mortal?”
Looking at Aqua’s arrogant attitude, Wos’s temples throbbed.
He took several deep breaths and tried to stay calm.
“Because this is my home, and right now you have no money and nowhere to go.” Wos pointed at the run-down room around them.
“And this world is dangerous. If you don’t listen to me, you’ll very likely die a miserable death.”
“Die? How could this goddess possibly die?” Aqua waved her hand dismissively.
“I’m the Goddess of Water, with powerful divine magic! What enemy could hurt me?”
Tom and Jerry looked at each other and saw worry in each other’s eyes.
Although they didn’t know what dangers this world held, seeing how tense Wos was, it was clearly no joke.
“This world has a lot of superheroes and super villains,” Wos said, rubbing his temples.
“For example, there’s a big green monster with unlimited strength when he’s angry, who can punch a mountain to pieces. And there’s a purple alien who can make half the life in the universe disappear with a snap of his fingers.”
“Pfft, you’re bluffing.” Aqua pouted.
“A green monster, a purple alien, it all sounds fake. This goddess has seen plenty of powerful enemies, and Demon Kings and such are nothing to me.”
Wos felt his blood pressure rise a few more points.
This Useless Goddess had no idea how deep the waters of the Marvel world ran.
“Forget it, believe it or not.” Wos waved his hand.
“Anyway, you’re living in my house now, so you have to follow my rules. Rule number one: no using magic casually.”
“What?!” Aqua’s eyes went wide.
“No using magic? Then how will this goddess show off her majesty?”
“Rule number two: no going around announcing that you’re a goddess,” Wos continued.
“People in this world don’t believe in gods, so it’s useless to say it, and you’ll just be treated like a mental patient.”
“A mental patient?!” Aqua stomped her feet in anger.
“How dare you call this goddess a mental patient?”
“Rule number three: no causing trouble.” Wos looked at Aqua.
“I finally got a stable life, and I don’t want you to mess it up.”
After hearing these three rules, Aqua was so angry her face turned red.
She pointed at Wos, her voice trembling: “You mere mortal actually dare to give orders to this goddess? This is too much!”
With that, Aqua raised both hands and began chanting: “Great power of water, heed my call!”
“Wait! What are you trying to do?” Wos panicked.
“This goddess will use flood magic to teach you, you rude mortal, a lesson!” Aqua’s hands began to glow blue.
“Let you see the majesty of a goddess!”
