Chapter 35: Childish Aqua

"Lord Sato, lord Sato."

Aqua, who just came out of the bath, saw Sato Hikaru sitting in the rest area and immediately walked up to him and said expectantly: "I want to drink milk."

"Oh."

Replying coldly, Sato Hikaru shifted to a more comfortable position and then…there is no more then.

Aqua, who was waiting eagerly, saw that Sato Hikaru gave no more response, stretched her hand and said naturally: "Give me money, I want to buy milk."

"…This morning, before we went out, didn't I give you some pocket money?"

"I've used them all!"

Seeing Aqua's matter of fact expression, Sato Hikaru was speechless.

He never thought that this goddess could be this shameless.

His first reaction was to reject, after all, considering Aqua's character, if he gave in to her today, then this kind of situation would occur again for the second, third time and so forth.

But recalling his tragic experience yesterday at the hotel where Aqua almost ruined his reputation because he rejected her…

Then look at the surrounding onlookers who looked in his direction due to Aqua's appearance…

"Here."

In the end, Sato Hikaru gave in, and gave Aqua the money to buy milk, but following the principle of not suffering a loss, still commanded: "Help me get one as well, also don't forget about Yunyun and the other one's share."

"Just leave it to me!"

Sato Hikaru, who was originally not too worried, when he saw Aqua's confident look, he suddenly got a bad premonition.

But after thinking about it, it was only buying a few bottles of milk, what could happen?

So, Sato Hikaru did not say anything, and just looked at Aqua, signaling her to quickly go.

Afterwards, Sato Hikaru no longer paid any attention to Aqua's situation and continued to communicate with the system in his mind.

"Since it has reached 10%, then there should be no problem for me to leave this world and return, right?"

[Yes, but you would need to give the seedling some cooldown period.]

"How long is that period?"

[According to Host's current strength, it would need around half a month.]

"Then I have one final question, if I leave this world, would time stop? No matter how long I left, when I return, will it only be a moment here?"

[If that is the case, when would the seedling have the time to rest?]

"Ah, this…"

Being told by the system in such a manner, Sato Hikaru suddenly felt that his question was a bit stupid.

But it would not be possible for him to just accept it, so Sato Hikaru just replied and threw it back to the system: "I just read from novels that other systems could do it, how come you can't? How could that be eh, system?"

[…wait until the world tree had grown to a certain extent and had mastered the world's time authority, then it would be possible.]

[For example, in the original world, when the host returns, you will appear right at the moment you left, no one will be able to notice any abnormality.]

"Then, what is the required progress to be able to do that?"

[At least 30%, afterwards, it would depend on when the exosphere established by the world tree can envelop the scope of time.]

"So, it is still a matter of face…"

Sato Hikaru curled his lips unhappily.

After hearing the information, Sato Hikaru immediately recalled the three ordinary mystery boxes that he had just opened.

Sato Hikaru originally thought that the gift provided by the system was extremely powerful.

After all, in the novice tutorial, there was a golden hoop and tightening mantra that caused a certain great sage, who did not want to be named, to stumble.

Afterwards, there were various treasures, blessings and even a curry stick was brought out.

Although the one he opened at that time was a luxury mystery box, and the one he got this time for defeating Host was just three ordinary mystery boxes.

However, from the word counts, there is only a difference in one word, how could the difference in prize be so big?

Then…

Sato Hikaru looked at the system message when he opened the mystery box and confirmed one thing.

[Congratulations host for opening 3 ordinary mystery boxes, obtained skills: intermediate fishing, advanced flower cutting, beginner swimming]

These rewards could really be thrown into the sea!

"Speaking of which system, do the things obtained from the mystery box relate to the surroundings?"

Looking at the three rewards again, Sato Hikaru suddenly had a thought: "The reason why I obtained such a good item when I opened the luxury box was because I was in Aqua's office in the god's realm."

"This time, when I opened the three ordinary mysterious boxes, two of them were water related. Is it because at that time, I was in the bath?"

[The level of reward obtained from different quality mystery boxes is obviously different, as for the content, it is completely random, unrelated to the surroundings, it only depends on the host's luck.]

Sato Hikaru: …

"The milk has arrived."

"Ah, thank you…"

Just as Sato Hikaru was feeling a little down due to the system's attack, Aqua returned, bringing one bottle of milk here.

Sato Hikaru did not think too much, received the milk and thanked her, and tasted it…

"Hm? Why does this other world milk do not have a scent of milk?"

After smacking his mouth, Sato Hikaru, who had always felt that the taste was not right, looked down at the milk in his hand.

When he clearly saw the palm prints of his hands through the liquid in the glass bottle…

"Wah, the milk in another world not only did not taste like milk, even the color is like plain water…"

Saying a word of praise while looking at the milk in his hand, he raised his head and looked at Aqua, who smiled flatteringly, while still having a trace of white on her lips.

Veins popped on Sato Hikaru's forehead, and directly threw the milk in his face towards Aqua's face.

"You really think I will say that?!"
