Summary[]
Kazuma, while dining with Darkness and Megumin, gets stressed out when the salad he tries to eat starts struggling upon dressing being poured on it before trying to fly away.
Aqua then comes showing him the bottles of holy water she had personally made that she plans to sell for a fortune, though Kazuma after hearing about her making it through releasing her purifying powers into common water she touches describes it as her broth. Following Megumin preventing Darkness from buying a bottle at an exorbitant price, Kazuma helps Aqua solicitate the water price normally, yet they are unable to sell any. The two of them subsequently witness a former mage call the "lord of water" by townsfolk demonstrating how he freely fills their jugs with Create Water, at which Aqua demands him charge money which will be donated to the Axis Church.
Later, Aqua changes to selling soap figurines skillfully made in the images of knights and spirits. She then talks about how those made in the images of beautiful women had already sold out, especially the one imaged after Darkness and can have its armour dissolved off. While Kazuma advises Aqua to pursue a career in art to her objection, a policeman comes questioning their selling of obscene products as well as lack of business permit. But upon him spying a figurine of a bakery girl he liked, Aqua proceeds to bribe him with figurines based off the police chief Aloerina and other policewomen, prompting the disgusted Kazuma to report them to a policewoman.
Afterwards, Aqua asks for Kazuma's help with winning prizes through lottery tickets, yet all Kazuma manages to win are scrub brushes. They then notice a special prize that is a mysterious magic item from another world, so Aqua casts Blessing on Kazuma to boost his luck, at which he successfully wins the special prize. The magic item, however, turns out to be a worn old style mobile phone, to Aqua's frustration.
When dining with Darkness and Megumin again, Kazuma goes on about wanting to drink miso soup, which despite having a recipe imported from another world, still costs a lot because its soybean ingredients keep fleeing. Aqua who had just finished her errands for him then comes to confess how she had used the errand money for expensive miso soup, which enrages Kazuma again.
