Chapter 120 An evil adult cannot taint a child's innocence
"Maybe that's just my imagination?"
Aqua wasn't entirely sure either, and she quickly dismissed the feeling.
"Now that we've solved our food problem for today, we need to figure out where we'll stay tonight," Aqua said, glancing at the adventurers around her. "I wonder if any kind adventurer would be willing to take us in. If so, we would be extremely grateful."
These words made Aqua's Heart known to all adventurers, but unfortunately, the atmosphere now was different from before.
Because of some misunderstandings caused by Broly's attentive service, Aqua is now seen by the adventurers around her as a bad older sister who enslaves her younger brother.
"If it's just taking in one person, that's fine, but if it's two people, it won't be possible."
"Some adventurers suddenly said."
"No, I will never abandon this child who chose me because they depended on me!"
Aqua quickly hugged the boy next to her and said loudly.
"Damn it, don't assume I'm talking about taking you in!"
The male adventurer who had spoken was momentarily speechless, then slammed his fist on the table and lashed out in protest.
"Hey, didn't you just want to take in a young and pretty woman like me?"
Aqua also looked at the male adventurer who was slamming the table and complaining with some surprise.
"Regardless of whether you're actually pretty or not, your shameless attitude of claiming you're beautiful as a fact is already not my type. I prefer someone more shy and younger... oh, no..."
Realizing he had exposed his own eccentricities, the adventurer coughed, his expression turning serious. He pointed at Broly in Aqua's arms and said, "When I said I was taking in someone, I meant only your younger brother, not you. Don't flatter yourself, you stepmother's older sister!"
Aqua: "???"
Who is the older sister raised by the stepmother?
She's a goddess!
Ah, wait a minute!
"You bastard, how could you have such wicked intentions towards this child!"
Aqua pulled Broly behind her, adopting a protective stance.
"Don't even think about it! I will never hand this child over to a pervert like you!"
She bared her teeth at the male adventurers, looking exactly like a protective husky.
"Hey, hey, hey, you can talk, but don't slander others!"
The male adventurer immediately slammed his fist on the table and stood up.
"My sexual orientation is normal. It's just that I felt so sorry for that child in your hands, so I had the idea of taking him in..."
At this point, the male adventurer's voice suddenly softened, because he noticed that the other adventurers around him were also looking at him with distrust.
"No, why are you all looking at me like that?"
"Shut up, you've already given yourself away."
"No, while I do like younger children, I'm referring to girls!"
"Isn't this worse?"
"Oh, should I say boy?"
Some of the male adventurers were also at a loss.
"Alright, stop talking. Two people, drag this awful guy out of here!"
"Ah, no, I'm innocent! I was just thinking it! Waaah..."
The male adventurer's mouth was covered, and two even more muscular male adventurers dragged him away, one on each side.
"Hmph~"
Watching the "evil adventurer" who dared to covet Broly being dragged away, Aqua puffed out her rather well-endowed chest, looking like a victorious general.
"The eyes of the masses are discerning; evil adults cannot taint the innocence of children!"
Just as Aqua finished delivering her righteous declaration of victory, a beautiful adventurer older sister was inviting the boy from behind.
"Broly, do you want to come with your sister? Although I can't provide you with food and drink, I can still give you a place to rest temporarily."
As the adventurer spoke, she took out a bunch of keys and shook them in her hand, making a jingling sound. Clearly, this person was one of the adventurers in Axel who owned a house.
"Hey, don't try to kidnap my child without my permission as their guardian!"
Aqua quickly turned around and pulled Broly back into her arms. After what happened with that perverted adventurer (who was actually a hapless guy who had been slandered and misunderstood by the public), Aqua became wary of other adventurers.
She had already comforted herself by seeing herself as a reliable goddess whom Broly had chosen to rely on, and she felt obligated to protect the child, both for his personal safety and the safety of his chastity.
"I had no intention of kidnapping him. I was seriously seeking the child's consent. Besides, although I am an adventurer, everyone here knows my character as Marian. I would never lay a hand on a minor."
Unlike the male adventurer from before, this older female adventurer seems to be quite famous here, with many people willing to vouch for her character.
"Eh!"
Aqua's eyes lit up, and she asked, "Then I also need a place..."
Before he could finish speaking, Marian interrupted him: "I'm sorry, my house is quite small, and there's probably only enough room for one child."
Because of the misunderstanding about the boy serving her earlier, Marian had a bad impression of Aqua. Even though Aqua had high attribute values and was someone who directly changed to a higher-level job, she still didn't give her a friendly look.
After all, for an adventurer who has already planned to retire from the adventurer's profession, a good adventurer companion is no longer very attractive.
Aqua's face fell, and she looked at Broly with pleading eyes, as if she didn't want to be abandoned, but she said, "Since this person is alright and willing to take you in, then Broly, you can go. I'll take good care of myself, you don't need to worry about me~ (her voice trembled)"
"Thank you, big sister, but I won't go with you if you can't take her with you."
Broly shook his head, first thanking her, then declining Marian's offer.
[Good...child!]
Aqua and the other adventurers had the same thought, but due to their different perspectives, they both misinterpreted Broly's rejection.
Although Broly's reluctance to separate from Aqua was simply because she was the first wife he had encountered since coming to this world, and her happiness level was increasing extremely quickly, making her a high-quality partner, Aqua believed that Broly's refusal stemmed from his willingness to trust and rely on her, his goddess.
For the other adventurers, this was a testament to the devoted younger brother's unwavering support for his older sister, and they were deeply moved by it.
"Fine, let's take her along too."
