Title: Aqua’s Folly

The fifth Devil King General had been defeated...

Yes, in succession were Verdia, Vanir, Sylvia, Wolbach, and now Hans, who had just been subdued. It was rumored that after subduing the six Devil King Generals, the barrier of the Devil King’s Castle would appear, allowing the outside world to enter and perform the great deed of conquering the Devil King.

And the kingdom’s front lines, because the Devil King General who was the Deadly Poison Slime, Hans, had been defeated, the entire Devil King’s army on the front lines fell apart. They were trampled at will by the Mobile Fortress Destroyer showcasing its might, and then coupled with the human army consisting of knights, adventurers, and aspiring heroes, they completely swept away the countless monsters that had been troubling the royal capital all this time.

Although the Devil King’s army on the front lines had been dealt with, the all-out attack of the Devil King’s army all the way to the front lines of the royal capital this time had awakened the human kingdom. After all, if it weren’t for Ethan’s intervention, the entire royal capital, even if not conquered, would likely have suffered heavy losses.

And the cause of all this could not be separated from the king acting arbitrarily. After all, if it weren’t for the king suddenly acting crazy due to his love for his daughter and even trying to kill the prince, there wouldn’t have been the crisis scene where the Devil King’s large army pressed the borders of the royal capital.

Seemingly realizing his mistakes, this time the king no longer took shocking actions, but instead spent some time with Iris, then once again led the army back to the front lines to fight against the Devil King’s army. As for the prince who was almost beheaded, he sighed and returned to the royal capital to take care of government affairs.

For this reason also, Iris could legitimately join Ethan’s adventurer party, no longer needing to return to the royal capital to be a bird in a golden cage. This made Claire cry hysterically, but in the end, she was taken away by Rain, who was also a princess’s guard, after being hypnotized.

As for Ethan, due to his merits in successively subduing several Devil King Generals, it seemed that a very generous reward had been prepared, but he would have to wait some time to receive it...

In response, Ethan sneered and stored the Mobile Fortress Destroyer and Wolbach back into the Divine Treasure, then brought Eris, Yunyun, and Iris back to Axel.

◆━⊰✧⊱━◆

However, Ethan and the others who returned to Axel sensed an unusual atmosphere.

The atmosphere in Axel had become lively and festive!

“This is the Eris Thanksgiving Festival starting...” This was Yunyun’s answer to everyone, but the next sentence made Ethan and the others’ hearts ache: “I heard that when a lively festival starts, there will be many people on the streets, the probability of making friends will greatly increase, so...”

‘Alright, don’t say any more, I already understand your past sadness.’

Ethan’s eyebrows twitched, then he stroked Yunyun’s smooth black hair.

“Even without this kind of festival, Yunyun still has us, doesn’t she?”

As soon as these words came out, although they made Yunyun happy, they drew a strange gaze from Eris, which made Ethan a little confused.

This didn’t look like jealousy at all, right? If it were jealousy, at least it would be the divine punishment waist squeeze, why this strange gaze?

“The Eris Thanksgiving Festival is held to give thanks for the grace of the Goddess Eris, it is an annual thanksgiving festival...”

The one who answered was Iris. It could be seen that she glanced at Eris with her cute little eyes, blinking as if hinting at something.

So that was it, the corners of Ethan’s lips twitched, so this was the reason.

The fact that Eris was a goddess had been known by Wolbach when they were in the Crimson Demon Village. After that, Ethan was too lazy to hide Eris’s true identity, which would damage trust among teammates. So, after getting Eris’s approval, he fully revealed the identity of the Goddess Eris.

Although Yunyun and Iris were initially shocked to the point of gaping mouths, they still accepted the shocking reality that their teammate was a goddess. And this matter became a secret of Ethan’s adventurer party, not revealed to anyone outside.

And the Eris Thanksgiving Festival was specifically held to thank Eris, to celebrate the Goddess Eris. As a result, Ethan had just said that even without this festival it didn’t matter, how would Eris feel?

Iris rolled her eyes at the newly enlightened Ethan, then snuggled up to him cheerfully: “In the past, when the royal capital held the Eris Thanksgiving Festival, Iris always sat in the palace and watched it being held, never participating. Later, Onii-sama, Chris-neechan, and Yunyun-neechan will take me to play together~”

“Okay! Later I will definitely take all of you to play together!”

Ethan, who understood Iris very well, immediately nodded in agreement, which made Yunyun smile happily, and the corners of Eris’s lips also lifted into a smile.

Think about it, after coming to this world, they not only struggled for a living but also fought bloody battles to become stronger. The real rest time besides daily sleep was just relaxation after a major battle. This was the first time they had participated in such a fun and relaxing festival...

Ethan chuckled softly, his deep black eyes looking at his three beautiful girl teammates at this moment.

When the Eris Thanksgiving Festival was held, occasionally relaxing with them wasn’t a bad thing either, right?

And the time for holding the Eris Thanksgiving Festival didn’t seem far off. Previously in the royal capital, they hadn’t felt it, perhaps because the front lines were tense at that time, and even the entire Devil King’s army almost broke into the royal capital, so there were no extra funds and time to prepare for this event.

But the beginner village Axel, far from the front lines, was not affected at all, and had long ago happily begun preparations. It seemed that when they left the royal capital, Ethan had also heard about the trivial matter after the royal capital resolved the war on the front lines, and was also preparing to start holding the Eris Thanksgiving Festival in the royal capital, but he hadn’t listened carefully at the time.

Just when Ethan’s thoughts drifted far away, suddenly a heart-wrenching cry that made the listener weep was heard.

“Clearly Eris has a festival, why isn’t there an Aqua Festival!?”

A beautiful blue-haired girl who clearly had looks comparable to Eris, but with a foolish expression, hugged a man’s leg, and under the man’s contemptuous gaze, she even wiped her tears and snot on the man’s pants while shouting.

That man, Ethan knew him. He remembered when he took office as the new lord of Axel, that man seemed to have visited him, he seemed to be the chairman of the merchant association...

“That... Miss Aqua... could you not be like this? You’re making things very difficult for me...” The chairman of the merchant association wiped the cold sweat that appeared on his forehead with a handkerchief, looking very annoyed by Aqua hugging his leg.

“I won’t let go! I won’t let go! This year there must be an Aqua Festival! I am the Goddess Aqua! In terms of seniority, I am Eris’s senior who can only stand upright because of chest pads! Why do you all treat me differently like this!?”
