Chapter 355 Bathing with Darkness
"Shichen, what's wrong?" Darkness came running over excitedly, carrying a bag of big bananas.
"Quickly help me move this little girl away." Shi Chen said helplessly. It was only because she was a little girl and somewhat cute that Shi Chen would have kicked her away if she were a man.
"What's wrong with this little girl?" Darkness was still confused.
"She is an Axis."
"Another Axis cultist? Okay, I get it."
Darkness leaned closer to the little girl, crouched down slightly, and then pulled a pendant from his chest—a small amulet.
She held it out to the girl and said, "Excuse me, I'm a follower of the Cult of Eris. If you want to recruit that man, you'll have to ask me first..."
"Embryo!"
Before Darkness could finish speaking, the little girl spat to the side, looking disgusted.
Darkness's amulet was a symbol of her Eris identity.
The little girl might not recognize the amulet, but Darkness's words would suffice, because the Axis Cult hates the Eris Cult the most.
The little girl decisively let go of the time stamp, then picked up her shopping bag and walked away quickly.
"Um..." Darkness stared blankly at her.
Just then, the little girl turned her head again and spat once more: "Ptooey!"
He then quickly ran away.
This scene left Shi Chen completely stunned.
Needless to say, Frilian finally understood why everyone was so afraid of the Axis Cult.
"Daknis, don't worry about it. You know the relationship between the Axis and Eris cults isn't good... This is the Axis cult's stronghold, so you should put that amulet away..."
.
"Hmm~"
Just as Shi Chen was about to comfort Darkness, who was frozen in place, he heard her groan before he could finish speaking.
And it even shook.
Shichen fell silent.
He almost forgot that Darkness wasn't much better off.
"Are you excited?" Shi Chen looked at her expressionlessly. "No way!" Darkness immediately denied.
"Heh~ Don't expect me to feed you nutritional supplements anytime soon."
"What? How could this be? I really didn't! No! I've been left hanging for half a month already, although this feeling isn't so bad..."
But if possible...
"Stop thinking about it. You asked for it. How dare you feel something for a little girl's disdain? What if you develop feelings for a man later?"
"That's impossible," Darkness immediately and seriously denied.
"Really? We'll see how you perform next."
"Is there...is there still a chance to salvage this?"
"It depends on your performance."
"I see!"
"Time, can you put me down now? I still need to buy grapes," Frilian interjected at the opportune moment.
"Oh, I almost forgot." Shi Chen put Frilian down at any time.
She didn't mind and took small steps toward the grape stall.
While waiting for everyone to buy fruit, no Axis followers came. It's unclear whether the little girl had informed the other believers that there were Eris followers here, which is why no one came.
But that shouldn't be the case. If they knew Darkness was a follower of the Cult of Eris, they would have come looking for trouble with her long ago.
It's probably just that there aren't many people around here, and the little girl might have just happened to be shopping.
Once Frilian and the others had bought all the fruits they wanted, Shichen didn't linger and took everyone back immediately.
It's still too dangerous outside.
However, on the way back, we came across a small alley where a rather cute little girl ran out. Immediately afterward, a burly, fierce-looking man came out and grabbed the little girl.
The little girl immediately cried out to Shi Chen and the others for help: "Ahhh! Help! Excuse me, gentlemen and ladies, please save me! This man is terrifying, and he seems to be a member of the Eris cult. He's planning to force himself on me and drag me into a dark alley..."
"Hey, you guys over there, you're not followers of Axis, are you? Hahaha! If you were powerful and handsome followers of Axis, I would have run away in fear, but since you're not, then I won't hold back! I am protected by the dark god Eris, and if you intend to get in my way, I won't let you off easily~" The burly man said scary words, but his tone was not scary at all.
"Oh no, how could this happen! But it's okay, I happen to have a few Axis Cult membership application forms on my hand! As long as you are willing to sign this application form and become Axis cult members, you can scare away this evil Eris cultist!" The little girl said, taking out a few pieces of paper.
"…:" Frilian opened her mouth and looked at the time.
"Let's go." Shi Chen pretended not to see it and prepared to leave.
"Hey, you lot, don't just stand by and watch me die! Don't worry, as long as you sign this application and become a follower of Axis, the goddess Aqua will grant you incredible super power, making you both strong and handsome! In that case, even I, a follower of Eris, will probably run away out of fear of that power."
"That's right! And after joining the cult, you'll receive all sorts of benefits, like becoming a talent expert or easily gaining the favor of undead monsters!"
The two were acting like they were putting on a charade; their purpose was all too obvious.
Shi Chen shook his head and sighed, "Darkness."
"Yes."
Darkness showed the two his amulet: "As you can see, I am a follower of Eris. How dare you call the goddess Eris the Dark Goddess before me..."
"Embryo!"
Before Darkness could finish speaking, the little girl and the man spat disgustedly into the alley and then turned and left.
The Aksis followers are really all the same.
He was already used to the timing, and looked at Darkness, who was behaving quite normally this time.
This made him somewhat satisfied; it seemed he could treat her to a hot spring bath later.
"Let's go, let's go back as soon as possible, it's really not a good place to stay out here any longer."
"I think so too."
"Hurry up, hurry up!"
On the way back, this kind of thing happened quite often.
"Congratulations on winning! You are the one millionth person to walk this avenue! Therefore, we will be giving you a souvenir, which is actually sponsored by the Axis Order! So, in order to receive this souvenir, there is a simple document here. If it is convenient, please fill in your name. Don't worry, we are just using your name to formally join the order."
"Oh my gosh~ Oh my gosh~ Long time no see~ It's me~ How have you been lately? Have you forgotten me? We used to go to the same school!"
And we were in the same grade, the same class! You really don't remember me? Have I changed a lot? It's all because I joined the Axis Cult~ Don't you want to become like me too?
"...Forget it, let's teleport back to the inn using time and space." Shichen said, unable to bear it any longer.
"It should have been like this a long time ago. What's wrong with this town? It's too exaggerated!" Huihui complained.
"After all, it's the Axis religion," Youyou said.
"All right."
"I won't allow you to talk about them like that!" Aqua protested.
"Shut up." Shi Chen slapped her head impatiently, then led everyone back to the inn.
He had originally planned to walk around the town more and mark all the locations, but it seemed unnecessary.
Back at the hotel, Shi Chen immediately felt much more relaxed and lay down on the bed.
The hotel is Western-style, without tatami mats, but the beds are quite stylish and large enough to sleep four or five people.
However, Shichen booked a total of three rooms, each with its own hot spring pool.
Megumin sleeps with everyone, Frilian, Aqua, and Tokiomi sleep together, and Darkness sleeps alone.
After all, this guy needs to get up early to train, and the others don't want to be woken up.
Of course, this also gives Shichen something to do.
Huihui and Youyou went straight back to their rooms, as did Darkness. Shichen stayed in his room for a while before preparing to leave.
"You two go to the hot springs first, I have something to do outside."
"Huh? Toki, aren't you going to soak with us?" Aqua asked.
"Me?" Shichen glanced at Frilian.
"Why are you looking at me? Go ahead and try to seduce me if you want," Frillie asked, lying in her chair reading a comic book without turning her head.
"Never mind, let's talk about it tonight."
"All right."
After leaving the room and concealing his presence, Shichen went directly to Dakenis's room.
Unsurprisingly, she was already soaking in the hot spring pool, her skin white and moist. Although there was mist on the surface of the water, two round mounds were still clearly visible.
The two key points are also aligned with the water surface.
"Time?!" Darkness became excited upon seeing the time.
"Hmm." Shi Chen just looked at her like that. "Shall I... shall I help you take your clothes off?"
Although he was being asked a question, Darkness didn't need an answer. She simply stood up and came to him to help him undress.
Water droplets were falling on the ground with a pitter-patter sound.
A short while later, Shichen pushed away Darkness, who was squatting with shining eyes staring straight at him, and sat down by the hot spring pool, immersing his legs in the water.
The water temperature was a bit hot, but just right.
Pfft!
At this moment, Darkness jumped directly into the pool, then faced the hour and kept getting closer.
This time, Shichen didn't stop him. He lay down and looked at the azure sky.
Darkness was speechless.
