Chapter 3

"So you're telling me, is that you are the Goddess of Water that was kicked out of Heaven because of your misdoings, and in order to return, you need to eliminate all monsters in the Tokyo area?"

Aqua looked delighted.

"Yes, you understood it so quickly!"

I see.

So based on her explanation, it could only mean one thing.

She's definitely crazy!

I move backwards.

Aqua tilts her head at my movement.

"Why are you moving backwards? Aren't you going to take me to your home?"

It's time for me to take my leave. I'm sure someone else will take care of her.

I dash away. Or at least I tried to. Aqua jumped and grabbed onto my leg.

"Where are you going? Don't leave me by myself!"

I try to shake her off my leg, but to no avail. She was like a limpet.

"You're crazy! Stop clinging onto me and let me go! Go back to your anime convention or something!"

"Anime convention?! Do you not remember my explanation? I was teleported here! I have no home! I'm a Goddess! Why are you treating me this way?"

"Goddess my ass! Do you think I'm that stupid? This is obviously some kind of scam!"

Aqua, hearing these words, started to tear up.

"You gotta believe me! I'm a Goddess, I swear! Believe me…!"

And she started to bawl her eyes out as she clung at my leg.

"Let me go!"

Was she a child? Does she think just because she's a pretty girl that she can try to scam me? Does she seriously think that using the crying tactic would sway me? Well, she's wrong.

"I'm no simp! I'm not just going to help a girl in distress just because she's a girl! If you truly are a Goddess, I demand to see evidence!"

Immediately she stopped crying. Releasing my leg, Aqua jumped up off the ground.

"Evidence? You want to witness my mighty power? Well of course! You should've said so in the first place!"

Wow. What a one eighty. Acting all high mighty again.

"Let me show you some real power!"

Sure. What was she going to do? A magic trick? At least I could get a laugh out of this.

"Watch carefully, I'm going to do this once."

Suddenly, the ground started to shake, and the air around her was rumbling. Some kind of mist was forming around her.

Was her hands glowing? No way, right?

I could see droplets of water forming around her.

Something was telling me that this was going to be bad.

"Oh, the familiars of this world…"

A bright blue light was now surrounding her, with water flying around her.

"Answer my request, my prayer, and show the world thy power! SACRED CREATE WATER!"

I ducked down, waiting for whatever was coming.

Nothing happened.

It felt so anti-climatic. All that build-up for nothing? I burst out laughing.

"'Oh, the familiars of this world, create sacred water'? HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! That's so cringy! What are you, ten?"

As I was laughing, I realised that there was suddenly a massive shadow cast over us.

I look up.

A tsunami of water was dropping on us.

Oh no. Was what she said real?

I quickly turn to Aqua.

"Alright alright, I believe you! Don't drop that water on us!"

"Only if you apologise for laughing at me!"

Gotta swallow my pride I suppose.

"I'm sorry I laughed at you! Now please, make the water disappear!"

"Make the water disappear?"

"Yeah! You summoned the water, you can unsummon the water right?"

Aqua went red and looked away.. My heart dropped.

"You can't control or get rid of the water, can you?"

She shook her head sheepishly.
