[ Watching Aqua and the others, who were living like walking corpses and on the verge of turning into Abnormal Titans.
Darkness finally realized the gravity of the situation… It had only been half a day, and they were already like this! If this continued, their minds would collapse sooner or later.
So, Darkness sought out the class representative, Emilia, hoping she could come up with a solution.
Emilia tilted her head, speaking with some confusion: "Being with a lot of black creatures doesn't feel that scary, does it?"
However, the kind-hearted Emilia still took Darkness to see the guidance counselor, hoping to lighten the punishment for Kazuma and the others.
"What a wonderful child!" The guidance counselor was so moved that he was on the verge of tears, hurriedly turning his back to wipe the corners of his eyes. "Compared to that devil in the skin of a little girl, the difference is like heaven and earth."
Seeing such a friendly scene, the guidance counselor calmed himself down and immediately stated that as long as they showed good behavior, their punishment could be reduced.
Emilia's eyes curved slightly as she revealed a gentle smile: "Thank you so much!"
Seeing this angelic smile, the guidance counselor turned his back once again to wipe away his tears: "Student Emilia, you really are an an—sniff—gel!" ]

〜Projection of All Worlds〜
"Instructor, your tear ducts are really overdeveloped. You're practically just like Aqua. Maybe you're the Goddess of Water… no, the God of Water!"
Watching the instructor being moved to tears repeatedly, everyone was speechless. Just what kind of hard life did you live under Tanya before this?
A devil in the skin of a little girl… Instructor, maybe stop crying for a second? That retort was definitely heard by that little girl. The 'you' in the other world is definitely getting beaten up right now; save some tears for later.

〜The Disastrous Life of Saiki K. World〜
"Doesn't feel that scary…"
Saiki's usually emotionless face couldn't help but twitch at the corner of his mouth. Miss Emilia, do you want to listen to what you're saying?
Those are cockroaches! Creatures that even telepathy can't detect. He wouldn't even want to use psychokinesis to move them away; he felt physiological discomfort just from the thought.
Usually, even if he just saw one, he would immediately teleport to a place very, very far away…
"Yare yare, speaking of which, where did I run off to this time?!"
Coming back to his senses, Saiki Kusuo looked at the giant blue planet in front of him and the artificial satellites orbiting nearby, falling into silence.
This time, he really went a bit too far…
〜Gabriel DropOut World〜
"Gabriel, look at Emilia. That is an angelic smile!"
Vignette looked at the useless otaku angel in front of her, who was emitting an aura of decay, and sighed with mental exhaustion.
Gabriel just narrowed her eyes and stretched lazily:
"Tch… no matter what you say, I'm the real angel!"
Hearing this, veins instantly popped out on Vignette's forehead:
"Can you clean your room first before saying that?"
The quilt on the bed was crumpled into a ball, the pillow was crooked to the side, and the corners were piled with dust and trash from who knows where. It was so messy that there was barely any room to step!
Where was there even a hint of an angel's appearance? Even a demon would probably carry out two bags of trash if they visited here.
.....
[ And so, in the next science lab class, everyone planned to strive for good performance to reduce the punishment for the group.
Soon, Roswaal began his lecture: "Those who can use fire attribute magic, please light the alcohol lamp~~ Oh~"
"Then I shall do it. Fireball." A small magic circle appeared in Ainz's hand, and the flame ignited the alcohol lamp with pinpoint accuracy.
While Shalltear's group was still hesitating over who should light the fire, Chomusuke simply opened her mouth gently and breathed out a small stream of fire, successfully igniting the alcohol lamp as well.
This dumbfounded Subaru Natsuki, who was standing behind them. He hurriedly found Megumin: "Chomusuke breathed fire!"
Megumin frowned slightly upon hearing this: "Chomusuke is a cat; how could she possibly breathe fire?" ]
[ .....]
〜Type-Moon World, Fifth Holy Grail War Worldline〜
"That's right, how could a kitty breathe fire?"
Rin Tohsaka still had a peaceful smile on her face, her eyes tranquil and gentle, looking as if all was right with the world.
But this appearance didn't last for even a second. The elegant young lady instantly lost her composure, shooting up from her seat, hands on her hips, and began to retort frantically.
"But the problem is… that's not an ordinary cat either! Whose cat has wings!"
The creatures in Kazuma's world were already weird enough, but had Megumin really not noticed after all this time that her cat was a bit different from others?
Cu Chulainn curled his lips:
"That's nothing. The key point is that the prerequisite for a science experiment is using magic to light an alcohol lamp… wouldn't a lighter be better?"
Times have changed, Mr. Roswaal!
The scene before him couldn't help but remind him of his youthful days learning Runic magecraft with Scáthach.
〜OVERLORD World〜
"Fireball?!"
Seeing the small spell he had cast, Ainz was a bit dazed. Using magic to light an alcohol lamp… it felt very subtle.
However, as an Undead race class, did I actually have such a low-level skill?
Ainz, who usually started fights with Super-Tier Magic, was a bit unaccustomed to it for a moment, so he hurriedly flipped through his skill list in his mind.
After scrolling all the way to the bottom, he finally found the low-level magic gathering dust in the corner… well, what do you know, he really had it!
.....
[ However, now was not the time for jokes. Megumin took out her eyepatch and placed it over her eye: "Compared to that, it's about to start!"
Subaru Natsuki, understanding the signal, sneakily blocked Megumin's front to obstruct the teacher's line of sight, while the other two members put up protective barriers around the alcohol lamp.
Seeing that preparations were complete, Megumin aimed directly at the alcohol lamp and began chanting Explosion Magic. A crimson magic circle appeared along with it.
Even the people around them instantly had their attention drawn by this terrifying magical power. Tanya frowned and looked back: "What are you guys doing…"
Ainz stopped Tanya, who wanted to take action, and shook his head: "Let them have free rein for now. They want to help Kazuma and the others in their own way."
Meanwhile, Roswaal, on the podium, completely ignored this behavior, or rather, he tacitly permitted all of this. ]
[ .....]
〜Projection of All Worlds〜
"So basically, Subaru blocked absolutely nothing!"
Everyone watched the sneaky group on the screen with black lines covering their faces. More than half the people present could sense the flow of mana; what was the difference between this and doing it openly?!
.....
〜A Certain Magical Index World, Academy City〜
Watching this scene, Kamijou Touma's eyes nearly popped out of his head, his face full of astonishment:
"Isn't that a bit much?! Explosion Magic to light an alcohol lamp?!"
How is this any different from going to a barbershop and finding out the stylist plans to cut your hair with a chainsaw? …It's completely overkill!
It's just lighting a fire; if worse comes to worst, I can lend you a lighter…
Kamijou was even a bit worried about whether those protective barriers were strong enough. If they accidentally blew up the school and got sent to the guidance office, too, that would be trouble.
.....
[ Seeing the mana flow becoming increasingly terrifying, the surrounding people hurriedly strengthened the mana output of their protective barriers. Then, they heard Megumin's loud shout.
"EXPLOSION—!"
BOOM—!
A loud explosion blasted abruptly in the classroom. Under the illumination of this light, the entire classroom was as bright as day.
By the time the light dissipated, the original lab bench, along with the water pipes, had been blown apart. Massive amounts of water were spewing ceaselessly from the pipes.
A flood instantly broke out inside the school. The Principal looked at Kazuma, who had just come out of the guidance office, and quickly said, "You guys came just in time. As long as you deal with this water, your punishment will be canceled."
The eyes of Aqua and the others instantly regained their luster. As long as the punishment could be canceled, they would do anything, let alone deal with a mere flood.
Neumann and the others instantly filled with fighting spirit, working together to seal the water flow within shields. Kazuma ran to the side and opened a window: "Now, Aqua!"
Aqua patted her chest with brimming confidence: "Leave it to me! Who do you think I am? I am the Goddess of Water!"
"Alright, then it's up to you, Goddess of Banquets!"
"I am not! Let me show you the power of the Goddess of Water." Aqua summoned her staff, and with a wave of her hand, she guided the water flow into the air.
Seeing this, Neumann and the others were instantly filled with emotion… They thought she was a weird girl with brain problems, but her power was the real deal! ]
[ .....]
〜Projection of All Worlds〜
"Almost forgot, this guy is actually the Water Goddess…"
After all, a Water Goddess who never uses her class skills and just loves playing with party tricks and purification—they almost forgot about her authority as the Water Goddess.
It wasn't until Aqua successfully resolved the situation that everyone in the other worlds breathed a sigh of relief. Since Aqua was so confident, they almost thought something bad was going to happen.
.....
〜Type-Moon World, ██████ Worldline, Chaldea〜
"Are you sure those were two water pipes that blew up, and not a river??"
Ritsuka Fujimaru was dumbfounded. The water output from those two pipes was a bit too much, wasn't it?
Even when Emperor Sutoku became a Tengu and stirred the stormy seas of Sanuki, it didn't flood this fast. This was already flood-level; it was like they had moved an entire river over.
Dr. Roman sighed with a smile:
"This can be considered working in her field of expertise. It's rare for Aqua to be confident and not mess things up."
Da Vinci rolled her eyes speechlessly:
"Isn't that obvious? No matter how much of an idiot Aqua is, she is a genuine Goddess!"
'God of Banquets' is just a tease; Water Goddess is her actual job description.
If she dropped the ball even within her own professional scope, could she even call herself the Water Goddess anymore?!
