The next day.

I woke up on my nice comfy bed, Iris and Ermiana must have been nice enough to move me back here! Kazu-trash would have left me by the table or dropped me off in the pool. Today begins my job as Repair Chief begins! It has been a long while since I had this glorious title. I changed into my construction worker clothes and wrapped my head in a bandanna. I cant believe how well Kazuma kept my belongings, I wonder if he is back? I made my way to Kazuma's room and gently open the door to see someone sleeping under the sheets, that hikiNEET must have came back in the middle of the night... I should leave him alone.

"Hmm?" I thought to myself as a saw a white-ish teal hagomoro hanging by the chair. Reminds me of the one Eris had... Did that hikiNEET steal from my kouhai!? My all seeing eyes can never be wrong! I sneaked in closer to make sure that there was someone beneath the sheets.

"GOTCHA!" I jumped on the sheets and restrained the person under the sheets.

"AAHHHHH! AQUA-SENPAI!?" Chris screamed as she was suddenly awakened by Aqua.

"EH? Chris? Senpai? Are you still drunk or something?"

"Erm, yeah, I guess I am still sleepy from yesterday, Kazuma's aged wine is just too good." Chris said while still being restrained.

"I know right! I know where it is kept too, after my work we should definitely share a bottle."

"A-aqua-san, I know you and Kazuma were close, but I didnt expect you to wake him up in his manner." Chris shyly said.

"Hey! I thought that hikiNEET stole that hagomoro over there from Eris-sama, given his perverted personality, he'd probably stole it so he can do weird things to it!"

"Eh? Aqua-san , you misunderstood, that hagomoro belongs to me! I am a devout Eris-sama follower, so I enjoy looking like her!" Chris frantically said.

"Also... Could you release me? If it were Kazuma here instead of me, people will get the wrong idea between you two." Chris said with an awkward smile.

"Dont sprout nonsense! If you do, you will receive divine punishment where your toilet will not flush even though there is someone waiting for you outside!"

"Eh? It's okay Aqua-san, I dont use the bathroom." Chris said with a smile.

I moved in closer to Chris and took a closer look. She does kind of look like Eris, I just saw Eris last week when I volunteered her to do my duties for me... I narrowed my eyes and stared at Chris.

"I-is something wrong Aqua-san?" Chris asked while trembling.

"Are you perhaps..."

"Eep" Chris shrieked.

"Are you one of those fanatics who try to look like the Goddess they worship?"

"Eh?" Chris looked shocked. I must have figured it out!

"Dont let anyone tell you this... But you look a lot like her." I whispered into Chris's ears.

"Eh? D-do I?" Chris replied timidly.

"Yeah! All you need to do is to stuff your bra with pads, you will look exactly like her! That hagomoro must be part of the costume! Am I right? Am I right?" I energetically said while bouncing on Chris.

"Y-yeah, y-you caught me Aqua-san." Chris averted her eyes while letting out a small sigh.

It must be embarrassing for someone to figure it out, feeling satisfied, I got off Chris.

"With any luck, you should meet her. She is very very naughty! She always sneaks off somewhere to play when we arent looking."

"I... I am sure I will meet her eventually." Chris awkwardly replied.

"Dont worry, your secret is safe with me."

"Didnt you have a gossip club back in Axel?" Chris said while pouting.

"Did you hear though, I heard Darkness was left single after rejecting too many men." I whispered to Chris.

"I know about that, did you know? I heard that magic tool shop in Axel owes Kazuma a huge debt." Chris whispered back.

Before I knew it , Chris and I were trading juicy rumours with each other while we were making our way to the front door of the castle. I went to the capital guild and left Chris behind who wanted to stay behind and wait for Kazuma.

Wearing my construction worker outfit, I went into the capital guild to see the part-timers assigned to me. During this time whereby the castle walls were destroyed by a certain Princess who apparently had anger management issues, some adventurers and royal guards were deployed as guards to prevent monsters and enemies from entering the capital. Adventurers who didnt want to risk getting murdered by the dangerous monsters would instead take up a part time job fixing the walls.

"Good morning Repair Chief!" A group of people welcomed me.

"Leave it to me! Everyone, follow me! Today I'll let you witness the chief's artistry!"

"Repair chief we will be in your care!" All of them enthusiastically replied me.

The group of adventurers helped me mix up the cement while I single-handedly repaired part of the wall that was slowly collapsing.

"AHHH SHE IS COMING!" One of my staff shouted.

I looked from afar and saw a blonde haired girl riding a white dragon heading this way. It was Ermiana!

"What do we do? She is going to destroy the wall again! AHHHH!" All my staff went crazy and started frantically running around as Ermiana and the white dragon landed. She got off the dragon and walked towards us, I dropped my tools and went over to greet her.

"P-princess, what brings you here?" One of the staff asked while sweating a river.

"I came here to check on the wall, it seems good from the top, much thicker and sturdier. Unlike our previous walls that collapsed so easily." Ermiana said

"My superior plastering skills have thickened this part of the wall, I should be done fixing the damages by next week!" I happily announced.

"May I test the walls?" Ermiana asked politely.

I see no reason to refuse her so I nodded. She drew out her blade and made a shooing motion to the white dragon as it got out of the way. She walked towards the inner side of the walls and readied her stance, I looked around and saw that all the staffs assigned to me seem to have maintained quite a huge distance between themselves and the wall. My Goddess survival instincts told me that I should hurry and join them.

"Wait for me!" I shouted as I ran to the side of my staff members.

"Poison modified skill! EXTERION!" Ermiana shouted as a purple shock wave flashed forward and slashed into the walls.

The walls I just built slowly cracked and eventually it crumbled and disintegrated into dust.

"Wha-?" I started dumbfoundedly at what was happening.

"Phew, at least she didnt use flame this time." One of my staff casually commented.

"Or lightning" Another staff commented.

Ermiana walked up to us with a satisfied look on her face.

"I guess I am much stronger than the wall! Hehe" Ermiana said with an innocent smile on her face.

"Dont be fooled by her sweet smile repair chief! She is a monster!" One of the staff shouted with a pale face.

The smile on Ermiana's face disappeared as she jumped on the staff member and proceeded to beat him up.

"How dare you say that about the sweet innocent me!" Ermiana said as my staff member was knocked out and only the whites of his eyes were seen.

"Stop! STOP!" I mustered all the strength I have and pulled Ermiana off the man.

"Heal!" I casted heal and the man woke up.

"I thought I saw Eris there for a moment." He muttered in a daze.

"I guess we should call it a day." I dismissed my staffs and walked over to Ermiana who was petting the white dragon and smiling innocently.

"Let's go home. We can ride Faitfore home together!" Ermiana smiled and said

Where have I heard that name before? I nodded and followed Ermiana up on the white dragon and we rode back to the castle. I didnt make any progress with the wall, I thought to myself and pouted.

"What's wrong?" Ermiana asked.

"How did you destroy the walls so easily?"

"Ahh that, I imbued a very powerful and corrosive poison. All I needed was to get my skill to cut it a quarter of the way through and the wall would crumble into dust." Ermiana casually said.

"Hmm" I thought to myself. Maybe I should stop the wall repairs until Kazuma gets back,he would know what to do.

We made several small talks and gossips on our way back, though it was my first time, I really enjoyed riding on the back of a dragon! I made my way inside the castle while Ermiana puts the dragon to rest. After a day's worth of hardwork, I decided to shower and reward myself with another one of Kazuma's fancy aged wine.
