Chapter 762 The Opposite of Strong Desire Is Called Desirelessness
After carefully looking at the appearance of the stupid goddess, everyone finally came to the conclusion: she was no different from usual, she looked exactly the same.
Those who are unsure are prepared to ask again.
"Aqua, do you think there's something wrong with you? It's not something physical, but something mentally wrong. For example, you don't want to drink bubble wine, you have a strong desire to go out to work, or maybe I never want to admit that I am a goddess or anything like that..."

I have to say that Huihui's words are really excessive.
Leaving aside the first two, the last one is indeed excessive.
Normally, the stupid goddess would definitely refute, and she would refute loudly, but——
"Um……"
What Xiaolin and the others didn't expect was that Aqua was actually thinking. When Xiao Lin saw this, he couldn't help but ask.
"Aqua, do you have feelings?"
"...I always feel it, it's just a feeling, and this feeling is only a little bit, not very strong." The stupid goddess seemed to not want to admit it. After emphasizing and denying it one after another, she hesitated under the gaze of everyone. De said: "I always feel...I have become a little distracted."
"Distracted thoughts? What distracting thoughts?"
Darkness couldn't understand.
Xiao Lin understood, and sighed: "This guy lives by instinct. The so-called distracting thoughts are similar to desires, right?"
"What did you say to me, a goddess?" Aqua rolled her eyes at Xiaolin angrily, "I don't live by distracting thoughts. For example, I have lovely Axis cult followers, hot springs and... Water City...something like that."
However--
"It does make sense."
"Yes."
"That's what I thought too."
Megumin, Darkness and Yunyun, the three companions of the team, all agreed with Xiaolin's words.
"You, the three of you, should you speak for me now? Haven't I always lived a cautious and noble life?" Aqua shamelessly said such silly words that made people feel fist-itching.
If she has a noble spirit, then Xiaolin definitely has a golden spirit.
It’s just a golden spirit that wants to beat up centenarians, bully middle-aged office workers and priests.
"However, if you are cursed, your desires will become completely opposite." Darkness sighed slightly: "It feels very strange to have no desires."
"Listen to me————"
Aqua complained loudly.
"That, I think." Megumin ignored the screaming idiot goddess and said, "Before making clothes, Aqua showed many kinds of desires, right?"
"You mean..."
"I want to drink bubble wine when I want, I want to hang out in the mansion, I want to let Xiaolin give her a massage, etc. This kind of desire to want everything becomes the opposite, and I may become a person with no desires. ah."
What Megumin said was right. If the curse was the exact opposite, it would definitely turn out like this.
"That's absolutely the case! So, I don't have any distracting thoughts now!"
"Does it mean that you usually have a strong desire?"
"This statement also makes me very unhappy."
Aqua crossed her arms and groaned angrily.
Wiz couldn't help but praise: "Because of the desire-enhancing curse, I have become desireless and so on. Lady Aqua is so powerful!"
"Um, is it powerful?" Forgive Xiaolin, he really can't see what's so powerful about it. After all, for a goddess, she shouldn't be a stupid goddess making such a fuss - no, it's better to say that Aqua is the real one now. goddess.
Simply, just keep it like this, let the stupid goddess become desireless and not cause trouble for the team.
While Xiaolin was thinking this, Darkness touched his chin and said, "But, this may cause big problems."
"A big deal?" Huihui looked at her doubtfully.
Darkness looked at Aqua and couldn't help but say: "In order to lift the curse, you must satisfy your desires. But what does it mean to satisfy no desires and no demands, and how to do it?"
"...Indeed." Huihui also nodded and said, "If there is no desire, it cannot be satisfied."
Whether it was Darkness or Megumin, they both showed extremely deep desires and fully manifested them before eliminating their desires. If Aqua had no desire, there would be no way to start.
Xiaolin scratched his head, looked at the stupid goddess and asked: "Hey, Aqua, how are you doing? Is there anything you want to do?"
It's better to ask yourself about this kind of thing.
Darkness and Megumin, both of them can express their desires very clearly, so it would be a big help if Aqua could also express her desires clearly. However--
"Desire is the desire to get something, so having no desires and no demands means giving to others and forgiving others."
"...That makes sense. But even though you were force majeure, you still helped the prisoner."
"Hey, um, this is..."
Aqua became speechless, lowering her head and playing with her fingers. Xiao Lin couldn't help but sigh and said: "Before you do such a great thing as forgiving others, you must first repay the sins you have committed."
"Yes, yes."
The stupid goddess smiled awkwardly and said, "I swear on Aqua's name that I will reflect on my sins and pay back!"
"Okay————, I heard it. You should reflect on it." Xiaolin decided to restrain the stupid goddess in the days to come until she paid for her sins.
"Yeah, I understand. I really understand, and now I'm reflecting on it, um, I'm reflecting on it." Aqua had a sweet smile, a smile of a good child who corrects her mistakes after she realizes them.
"Then, work hard with this attitude and collect materials."
"……I see."
Aqua's sweet smile remained the same.
Then, everyone came to the mountain lake not far from Axel again.
"Hey—Aqua—how's the situation—?"
"No problem at the moment—!"
Aqua in the lake raised her hands and shouted, "If something happens, I will call you loudly. You have to come and save me quickly————!"
"…………"
"Hey——! Answer me——!"
The stupid goddess who already had psychological shadow over the monster in the lake was in a panic now. If she didn't come to save her, she might be bitten to pieces by the crocodile.
"I know——! We need to work hard to purify——!"
Xiao Lin had no choice but to respond loudly.
It's not that I really don't want to save her, but the stupid goddess always goes too far. Even if there is an iron cage borrowed from the guild, this guy will be frightened and scream, so no matter what, it depends on them to finish it off. .
By the way, what does her getting stronger have to do with her? This stupid goddess's strength has been fixed from the beginning, right?
Megumin looked at the goddess playing in the lake and said, "It seemed that it took seven hours to purify the lake water last time. Will it take the same time this time?"
"Almost..."
Xiao Lin scratched his head.
Things go back to yesterday.
In order to make clothes, Xiaolin and others went to the guild to accept the task, but the idiot goddess was a little reluctant.
"Purify the lake water..."
"To be precise, the mission this time is not to purify the lake water, but to defeat the blue alligators. However, when the lake water becomes clean, the alligators will disappear. In other words, purifying the lake water is the most convenient way."
The lake water had originally been purified, but due to too many participants in the last sports meeting held by Axel, and the huge commotion caused along the way, the mountains slid again, the lake became turbid again, and the alligators moved in again .
Xiao Lin and others already had experience in this area, so they took the next step - instead of going through the trouble of attacking them one by one, they could simply purify the lake and let the crocodiles leave at the same time, killing two birds with one stone. Of course, the reward will also be doubled.
Aqua's expression kept changing.
"Am I going to be put in a cage and squeezed for juice again?"
This work is uploaded by the organizer~~
"Although I know it's hard for you, there is no better user of purification magic than Aqua, so I can only ask you, Aqua! Really, please! Let us see the power of the goddess of water. !”
Megumin kept praising the stupid goddess, but Aqua still showed resistance.
Xiao Lin raised the stakes and encouraged her: "After this is over, celebrate well and treat you to lots of delicious food!"
"...Hmm." She hesitated, but still failed.
Xiao Lin tugged on the hem of the female knight's clothes.
"Darkness, we are almost successful. One more trick, please!"
"Ah, me?!"
The perverted female knight who had high hopes was not sure what to do. After a brief thought, she said: "Then... after this mission is completed, let's send some of Aqua's favorite frosty red crabs. "
"————!?"
The eyes of the stupid goddess lit up, she pretended to cough, and said: "Well, since you all said so, there is nothing we can do! Well, let you take a good look at my goddess power! "
The high-end crab is more powerful.
In fact, the price of the crabs alone was no less than the reward for this mission, but the crabs were provided by the Darkness family, so they didn't count as money, so they were barely safe.
Aqua, who was impressed by the crab, would use her purification ability even faster than last time to drive away the alligator, and then come back to use the crab.
Back to the present.
Xiaolin looked at the little girl from the Crimson Demon Tribe and said, "It seems that Megumin, you also know how to deal with Aqua."
"No." Megumin shook her head slightly and said, "I'm just imitating Xiaolin's approach. Aqua is a creature comparable to a rare beast..."
"You're right..."
"You two."
Darkness seemed to be a bit dissatisfied with the two people's comments about her companions.
"But, waiting like this is quite boring." Xiaolin looked at Aqua taking a leisurely bath in the lake, and sighed: "If I had known better, I would have brought some props to relieve my boredom."
"Xiao Lin, don't let your guard down, the blue alligator may appear at any time." Darkness taught Xiao Lin a lesson for not taking the lives of his companions seriously.
"Even so, there will be no problem with that cage." Xiaolin pointed to the cage that Aqua got into, and said: "The strength of the cage I borrowed from the guild is similar to the last one, so even if it is an alligator It’s absolutely impossible to tear it apart.”
"In other words, that cage is also very expensive. I hope it won't be damaged this time." What Darkness saw was another side.
Xiao Lin rolled his eyes and said, "It wasn't us who broke it last time, okay?"
The last time the cage was broken, it was the guy named Kyoya Mitsurugi who broke the iron cage because of an unnecessary misunderstanding. It had nothing to do with Xiaolin and the others. Instead, they were asked to compensate for the damage to the cage, but in the end they just got the compensation back from the guy.
At this time, an accident occurred in the middle of the lake.
Aqua suddenly shouted: "X-Xiao Lin————!"
"Um?"
Everyone looked over.
"Crocodiles! The crocodiles are coming!" Aqua yelled with tears in her eyes: "There are so many crocodiles coming————! Ahhhhhh!!!"
At some point, a large number of alligators appeared in the lake. They kept biting around the cage. Their ferocious fangs tried to bite the stupid goddess in the cage, but they failed.
But even so, those scary fangs and ferocious demeanor made the stupid goddess look pale.
In this regard, Xiaolin’s approach is——
"You'll be fine if you stay in the cage! Just be patient and continue purifying—!"
He had no intention of saving anyone.
After all, there was no need to save people. Before the stupid goddess got into the cage, she had already told her that the alligator could not hurt her and told her not to be afraid.
"I know! I know, but I'm still scared————!"
Whether you know it or not has nothing to do with whether you are afraid or not, not to mention, the stupid goddess is still an extremely timid guy. She shouted at the top of her lungs -
"Ahhh!? It's shaking! The cage is shaking!"
The alligators seemed to be very organized. They overturned the cage containing the stupid goddess and pounced on them one after another, biting them continuously. However, they did not break through the defense of the cage.
"Oh oh oh!"
"Xiao Lin, what should I do?"
"You don't have to do anything, just watch."
In response to the panicked inquiries from his companions, Kobayashi sat on the shore with the presence of the old god, watching the cage rolling and Aqua in the cage crying, like a living king of hell.
Darkness couldn't help but ask: "Is this really okay?"
"……Um?"
Xiao Lin looked at the perverted female knight beside him who was getting ready to attack, and couldn't help but ask: "What do you plan to do when you pull out your sword?"
"Do you still need to ask this kind of thing?"
"Don't go."
"The mission this time is not to purify the lake, but to defeat alligators. In other words, it is normal to knock them down, right?"
The perverted female knight showed a hearty and expectant smile, which made Xiaolin feel a little uneasy.
"No, no, no. That's true, but don't go either."
"I, I...I'm on it!"
"I knew it would be like this, you perverted female knight!"
If Darkness could listen to people, she wouldn't be Darkness. Looking at the perverted female knight sprinting excitedly towards the center of the lake, Xiaolin felt that his forehead hurt.
