Summary[]
One day, Wiz is taking a walk through town, when she witnesses Aqua being restrained by a man for jumping the restaurant bill despite her claims of innocence. Later consoling Aqua, who weeps about her simply asking to go home and get the money she left there only to be treated like a thief, Wiz who had footed the bill hesitantly affirms the goddess' assertions of her regularly leading a pure and proper lifestyle.
Upon hearing that Wiz was planning to shop around for merchandise at the market stalls, Aqua deviously offers to tag along despite Wiz's reluctance. She proceeds to have Wiz pay for the croquette that she wants to eat, before running off to find bubbly. Losing sight of Aqua, the frantic Wiz is then approached by a merchant who offers her bottles of secret potion with superb cleaning capabilities for a high price. Just when Wiz worries about inviting Vanir's wrath if she purchases suspicious goods, Aqua shows up to call out the "potion" as merely river water, and accordingly scares off the merchant who recognises her as the dangerous girl involved in the bill-jumping commotion. Unexpectedly thanked by Wiz afterwards, Aqua stammers that she was simply repaying the Undead who had paid for the food in her place. The goddess proceeds to bashfully mutter an apology at her, before hurriedly dragging Wiz to finish their errand.
As Wiz bathes at the public baths that night, she gladly reflects on the purchase uneventfully completed despite the hassle. Subsequently returning to her shop, Wiz hears from Vanir about Aqua leaving her a bag of money so that they will be even, much to her joy. On the other hand, Kazuma and the two other girls wallow in gloom back at their mansion because Aqua, who mopes in a corner, had forgotten all about her task of buying ingredients for dinner.
