Tensura: The Multiverse Planeswalker

"This will be our base in Axel from now on."

With this villa, Damien could bring Shuna and Shion along next time.

"Bwoh!!!"

Ogerpon didn't quite understand, but if Damien was happy, so was she.

Darkness didn't mind.

As a noble, her family estate was far grander.

Still, she was curious about Damien's background.

A villa like this cost millions of Eris at least.

Yet Damien bought it without batting an eye.

His nonchalant attitude toward money made Darkness suspect he, like her, was a noble scion out experiencing life.

"Darkness, pick any room you like."

"Huh?"

Darkness almost said she had a place at the inn.

But wasn't this the perfect setup for her desired play?

"Y-You're already eager to ravage me?"

Darkness recalled Damien's orders.

She'd checked... there was no one else around.

So…

"Ooh~~"

"Alright, I understand."

Darkness's breathing quickened. "Even if I refuse, you'll force me to stay, right?"

"…"

Damien and Ogerpon exchanged a glance.

Thankfully, they were used to Darkness's odd fetish.

"Now then…"

Damien slowly raised his hand, then brought it down sharply.

A crisp slap echoed, mixed with the girl's pained yet faintly excited moan, resonating through the villa's courtyard.

"Your room's next to mine."

"U-Understood."

Darkness nodded obediently, not daring to defy Damien's arrangements.

Per their agreement, she was now his to command, and he could do as he pleased.

Of course, Damien wouldn't go too far.

At most, he'd discipline her strictly, letting her experience the thrill of being dominated.

"Bwoh…"

Ogerpon was at a loss for words.

Honestly, Darkness's presence was an eye-opener.

Someone actually enjoyed being mistreated?

Ogerpon couldn't fathom it.

Meanwhile, Damien showed Ogerpon around their new home while subjecting Darkness to various embarrassing plays.

Elsewhere, at an Axel construction site, Kazuma and Aqua finished a grueling day of bricklaying.

"Good work, everyone!"

"That's it for today!"

The foreman handed out wages. "Here's your daily pay."

"Thank you."

"Great job, boss!"

"Hard work!"

As the foreman called it a day, Kazuma and Aqua took their pay, bowing in thanks.

"See you all!"

"Great work! Come back tomorrow!"

Kazuma greeted the seniors, Aqua following suit.

Hearing their replies, the two left the site.

"Man, another full day of work."

Kazuma could hardly believe that, not long ago, he was a shut-in NEET.

Clutching their earnings, they headed to the public bathhouse.

The bathhouse was much like those in Japan.

Though pricier than Japan's with average wages, post-work bathing was a habit they couldn't break.

"Ahh~ I'm alive again~"

Kazuma soaked up to his shoulders, easing the day's fatigue.

This medieval-like world made him think bathing would be a luxury, but that was just his misconception.

"Grateful, grateful."

Musing, Kazuma left the bath, meeting Aqua at the entrance.

Taking longer than a girl might seem odd, but Japanese people loved their baths.

"What's for dinner?"

Aqua, devoid of goddess-like awareness, was embracing this life. "I want a smoked lizard burger patty and ice-cold Crimson Neroide!"

"I'm craving meat too."

Kazuma said, "Let's hit the guild for two smoked lizard burger patty meals."

"Agreed!"

Aqua raised both hands. "And sparkling wine! A burger patty without it has no soul!"

For the past week, they'd been working on expanding the town's outer walls.

In other words, construction labor.

Far from the adventurer life Kazuma sought.

'Why is Aqua so unquestioningly okay with this life?'

'You're a goddess, aren't you?'

As if hearing his inner complaints, Aqua said matter-of-factly, "Duh, no work, no food!"

"You don't like labor? Geez, NEETs are so picky."

"There's always shop clerk jobs on the main street!"

"No, that's not it!"

Kazuma was exasperated by Aqua's earnestness. "I want thrilling battles against monsters! That kind of life!"

"Besides, where's this world's Demon King invasion or crisis?"

"It's so peaceful it's like a fairy-tale village!"

That was Kazuma's biggest gripe. Axel was absurdly tranquil, with no sign of a Demon King.

Chatting, they reached the Adventurer's Guild.

Inside, loud cheers erupted.

"All hail Damien!!"

"Sparkling wine forever!!"

"Damien! Damien! Damien!!"

"…"

Aqua quickly learned the situation.

"A rich guy's footing the bill?"

"Free sparkling wine and a meal for everyone?"

"Ahh!!!"

"All hail!"

"Damien forever!!"

Unable to resist, Aqua pulled out her fan, casting her party magic.

"Flower, Bird, Wind, Moon!!"

"Woohoo!"

The atmosphere grew livelier.

Why was Damien splashing cash again?

Because he was thrilled!

Recruiting Darkness and buying a new home... how could he not celebrate?

Money was no issue in the Konosubaverse.

He could buy all of Axel if he wanted.
