Chapter 143 Rather than regret it, choose both!
"Anyway, let's sit down and have a meal together!"
Aqua's attitude changed faster than flipping through a book. Just moments ago, she was sarcastically saying that people who make friends by stealing wallets must be mentally unstable. But after learning that this thief girl who called herself Chris was also the wife Broly was looking for, her attitude completely changed.
"Waiter, four steaks, ten grilled meat sets, three drinks, uh, two butterbeers, and two fruit juices."
"I'm an adult, okay?!"
Upon hearing that there were two fruit juice drinks, Eris immediately realized that the other person had ordered them for her and promptly said...
"real?"
Aqua was somewhat skeptical; the thief girl looked older than Broly, but only by a tiny bit.
[Damn it, they treated me like a child!]
Eris felt a pang of regret; she should have made herself a little bigger.
"Look, this is my adventure card, it shows I'm a genuine seventeen years old."
Eris took out the adventurer card that she had filled out manually. The age on it was indeed seventeen, and the month was even a month older than Darkness's. This was something she had prepared so that she could play the role of Darkness's older sister after they became friends.
"Hey, you really are seventeen, but you look like you're only thirteen or fourteen, especially your chest, it looks like it hasn't developed yet. Oh, sorry, I misspoke."
Aqua blurted out her criticism without thinking, and even though she apologized promptly after realizing what she had said, it still made Eris's face darken.
So what if she's flat-chested, being a lucky charm? Flat-chested women are a rare resource, sob sob...
"Waiter, could I trade a juice for a butterbeer?"
Fortunately, Aqua quickly changed the subject by suggesting she order some juice.
"Miss Chris, I wonder if you're married?"
After the waiter left, Aqua asked again.
"No, what's wrong?"
Eris instinctively asked a question in return.
"Ahem, my disciple Broly is an excellent young man. I wonder if he has caught your eye?"
Aqua then asked.
"Hey, Aqua, how could you introduce my childhood sweetheart to someone else?"
Darkness interrupted, somewhat haltingly.
"You masochistic woman, shut up! What do you mean by 'your childhood sweetheart'?"
Aqua looked over with some displeasure.
"I always pay when we go out to eat, and Broly's relationship with me was all about making me his wife. Under these circumstances, can't he be considered my childhood sweetheart?"
Darkness mustered her courage and retorted. Before, after she regarded Broly as the future life partner that Lord Eris had guided her to, Darkness had always treated Broly as her childhood sweetheart.
Otherwise, even she wouldn't easily set aside her pride and listen to Broly's words to help clean the other party's temporary residence, do housework such as laundry and cooking.
No matter what, Darkness is still a noble lady. Even if she really wants to do things that would humiliate her, she has to consider the reputation of her family. Even though she hasn't revealed her true identity yet, this is still something she has to take precautions against.
"Ha, what are you talking about, you masochistic woman? It's already an honor for you to have my adorable disciple being supported by you at your expense. How dare you try to take him for yourself?"
Aqua has a peculiar trait: she's the type to side with her own people regardless of right or wrong. Broly is one of her disciples, so even if the boy makes a somewhat unreasonable statement about wanting to build a harem, Aqua will put aside her pride and play along with her disciple, making it seem as if they are in the right.
It is worth mentioning that the Axis religion respects all kinds of XP (except for demons and the undead), and even respects same-sex love, but it is a doctrine of monogamy.
"Besides, you're a follower of Eris, right? Your Eris religion doesn't prohibit polygamy."
"But wasn't he taught by Axis?"
Darkness pointed at Broly.
"The doctrines of the Axis have changed."
Aqua replied immediately.
"When was it changed?"
"Just now!"
"You're just making this up."
"In short, as the High Priest of the Axis Church, I also have the right to amend its doctrines!"
Aqua is right. If a high-level professional like her were to return to the Church of Axis, she could easily become a bishop-level figure in the Church of Axis, and bishop-level priests have the right to propose changes to doctrine.
Of course, the process is rather complicated and requires the approval of most bishops.
However, Aqua is the principal deity worshipped by this sect, so she should be able to disregard this point.
Aqua was full of confidence in this matter, a confidence stemming from the fact that she had not yet formally come into contact with the other Axis followers in this world.
[What's wrong with one's own disciple wanting to have a harem? He encounters multiple girls he likes, yet he chooses one from them, doing something he'll definitely regret. So what if he doesn't abide by the Axis doctrine of monogamy?]
Aqua can be unreasonable but persistent, let alone when she can make herself seem reasonable. She immediately scolded Darkness.
In other words, she wasn't very talented in literature, and when she was managing the Earth's rebirth areas, she wasn't in charge of the Chinese region; otherwise, she might have been able to pull out a copy of "The Precepts for Women."
"Waaaaah, this situation where I'm forced to accept that my future husband will definitely have other women around him..."
Darkness was both distressed and happy.
"Hey, hey, hey, I don't like hearing that. Why should Darkness have to share your disciple with other women?"
Aqua was speaking from Broly's perspective, and Eris, listening to her, felt something was amiss. Why should her favored followers suffer such a loss? She immediately retorted.
"Oh, does Miss Chris have any different insights?" Aqua turned her gaze to the thief girl and asked a hypothetical question: "If you met two people of the opposite sex that you liked, but someone asked you to choose one of them, what would you do? Would you take them both, or would you really choose one and abandon the other?"
"Ah, this..."
Aqua is extremely powerful. She directly restricted the conditions and subtly changed the concepts and positions, making the thief girl on the opposite chair make a choice from the perspective of her own disciple.
But either choice is a trap. If you choose to accept both, it means you agree with her previous point of view and acknowledge the legitimacy of your disciple having a fiancée while still engaging in philandering. If you choose the latter, Aqua can attack the thief girl with words like, "How could you be so cruel as to hurt the person you like?"
The steak had been served by the waiter. Broly cut and ate the meat while watching his master's eloquent performance. He should have been the one to persuade his potential love interest to become his wife, but now Aqua had taken over the task and easily won over Darkness. Now she was about to win over another new love interest.
With such a master and wife, what more could a husband ask for?
This strange information suddenly popped into Broly's mind.
