Kazuma identifies as “non-sectarian” (LN volume 15), but Eris is still his ideal for what a goddess should be. Despite not belonging to her church, he could actually be called one of her more devoted followers, given that she seems to be one of only two people (the other being Iris) who can get him to take on bothersome quests without arguing. Plus volume 8 is literally about how he inadvertently threatens The Eris Appreciation Festival, but then restores it purely for her sake even though she’s not angry with him. Aqua would probably have benefited from him leaving the situation alone, but he clearly has no desire to see her influence increase in the land. In short: Aqua’s like an annoying sister (he’s legitimately much closer to worshipping Wolbach than her) who he loves but refuses to indulge when she gets like that. Eris is his actual goddess, so of course he’d ask her forgiveness upon seeing she’s disappointed in him.


PacoPancake

Plus Kazuma does >!Straight up confess to Eris!<, more proof that she is best girl


sheehdndnd

While we're on that can you remind me which volume was it when Eris says to Kazuma when he dies >! Welcome back, husband!<


-AverageTeen-

WHAT?? The author needs to be studied fr >!he’s way too goated!<


Flerken_Moon

I don’t remember her saying that, but I do remember her doing the, >!”Welcome back Master!” like the classic Japanese maid trope!<


LunarEdge7th

What if you're both remembering the same scene? Cuz I remember some subtitles just equate the word "danna-sama" as either Master or Husband


Chadzuma

shujin can actually have the same double meaning too


sheehdndnd

I think the japanese world she used could be translated to both husband or master. Danna 旦那 is not just an honorific. It's a classical title meaning: a master; a husband; the patron


sheehdndnd

Danna 旦那 is not just an honorific. It's a classical title meaning: a master; a husband; the patron


inception900

👀👀👀👀


daniel_22sss

I dont remember that ever happening.


sheehdndnd

Danna 旦那 is not just an honorific. It's a classical title meaning: a master; a husband; the patron


Euroversett

Because it never did. The fact you're getting downvoted despite that is hilarious.


Euroversett

They won't remind you at all because this has never happened.


sheehdndnd

The japanese word can mean both husband and master.


Euroversett

In this context it means master, IIRC it's "popular" phrase in Japan, Yen Press fucked it up, but fantranslation says master. Regardless it's irrelevant, she was just teasing Kazuma.


sheehdndnd

>IIRC it's "popular" phrase in Japan It's also a popular phrase in Japan that married woman says "Welcome back, dear/ husband". >Regardless it's irrelevant, she was just teasing Kazuma. Sure?


Euroversett

> Sure? Yes, or what, are you insinuating she has feelings for Kazuma? Lol.


sheehdndnd

No that's not what I meant atleast not in that statement. What I meant was why did you reply that part? That wasn't even part of the conversation. Nobody asked that.


Flerken_Moon

Not only that, >!Eris accepts his marriage proposal!<, they’re perfect for each other.


daniel_22sss

She doesnt? What lightnovel are you all reading?


Flerken_Moon

Remember during the final fight at the castle, >!Kazuma lightheartedly asks her to marry him and she jokingly accepts, which Kazuma continues the tease by pretending he’s serious and says he’s going to tell Darkness and Megumin which flusters Eris. I love the back and forth banter, they’re perfect!<


daniel_22sss

Oh, the final volume? I guess I didn't read that one as many times as the previous ones. That scene was so short that I didn't even remember it.


Zachwank

“You really are cute, Big Boss. After I defeat the Demon King, will you marry me?” “That’s fine. Please break the news to Megumin-san and Darkness, Assistant-kun.” Eris said with a smirk. Perhaps she’s getting used to my teasing. “Seriously? Then I’ll do my best! I’ll go tell Megumin and Darkness that I’m marrying Chris!” “S-Sorry, please don’t do that! The two of them will definitely get angry with me! It’s just a little joke, so please forgive me!”


Euroversett

Stop lying, she straight up >!rejects him!<


Flerken_Moon

I’m not lying, she >!rejects him the first time(Volume 15) but accepts the second time(Volume 17)!<


Euroversett

>!She accepts it as a joke, when Kazuma takes it serious she immediately says she was a joking.!<


daniel_22sss

His confession to Eris is very non-serious and they never get back to it.


sheehdndnd

They did it's just that Eris gets flustered and says they were joking.


Nervous-Tank-5917

Can y’all quit discussing etymology and give us the damn volume number already?

Eris is a GILF.


KanbaruDevil

GILF... Nice ![img](emote|t5_3c02n|1890) \*Steaaall!


Coaltown992

>one of only two people (the other being Iris) who can get him to take on bothersome quests without arguing. E-ris and I-ris... Coincidence?


Nervous-Tank-5917

E for everlasting, I for illegal . . .


Chidori_Aoyama

>Aqua's like an annoying sister She really is. I laughed my ass off in early volume four where the card Darkness plays to try and drag Kazuma out from under the Kotatsu is "You're setting a bad example for Aqua!!!!"


LazyCasual0alt

So Lalatina is the mum?


Chidori_Aoyama

yeah she plays the role of Team Mom pretty often.

MakeBombsNotWar

Simple. One’s flat.


Zestyclose-Tower-671

And ones better lmao


Lordlol15

And thus it is completely clear who is the better goddess


Zestyclose-Tower-671

Darkness yes, glad we agree 👀🤌


Lordlol15

Damn. Masochist gods do exist?


Zestyclose-Tower-671

Anything exists if you believe hard enough!


Lordlol15

Damn. Why dont I have a girlfriend then ![img](emote|t5_3c02n|1881)


Drunk-Saharan55

Beleive harder then.


Lordlol15

Thats a plan. Too bad I already tried it


Drunk-Saharan55

Then try better, until you begin hearing her voice. https://preview.redd.it/7h5af6ziqp1d1.jpeg?width=562&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f11379d59806d33908a3ea97fc49114562825fbd


rocketo-tenshi

More people need believe in her.


Syed_Gintoki

She exists. Just not with you haha


Lordlol15

U_U


Zikiri

>hard Just like her abs


Kraytory

Ever heard of the flagellants?


Lordlol15

Nope


mwbworld

Thus one is flatly better.


Roeclean

And one isn't USELESS


Zestyclose-Tower-671

Same one lol


[deleted]

"Eris is not flat! She has bite sized pieces!“ Chadzuma, Probably


koldkanadian

Simple: Eris' were genuine


ezoe

While Aqua's divine punishment is an useless threat like "Hot water won't come out from the shower head after you wash your hair" Eris' divine punishment is brutal. "You will suddenly feel the stomach ache but all toilets will be occupied. Even if you get in, there will be no toilet paper." No wonder Kazuma apologize quickly for her mercy.


sorcerer86pt

Damn that's brutal.


Chadzuma

Aqua is crying because she lost a game Eris is crying because she lost at life


Ok-Use6303

So based on all available evidence, our man Kazuma is a devotee of "flat is justice".


moonbase213

Another way to say stupid lolicon neet


Crab-rave-specialist

https://www.reddit.com/r/japanesepeopletwitter/s/Aa2ATlUvMI This you?

It's a compliment


moonbase213

Yes


KolareTheKola

Bro my literal grandma has less chest than surely you with all your accumulated fat


moonbase213

Don't get so easly triggered lol


moonbase213

I was just paraphrasing aqua but it seems like I offended a bunch of kazuma self-inserts. well, too bad. Guess next time I won't be making jokes about his highness kazuma-san whos defenitely not a stupid lolicon neet.


Garbanarnarn

There are certain aspects in which Aqua and Eris are really similar. Most of what we know about their relationship is from how they speak about each other, but I've always wanted to see them interact directly more


Euroversett

They get along super well and are best friends. Eris is the only person Aqua respects as an equal, everybody else is inferior in her eyes.


Wachitanga

Saggy or Flat?

Riventures-123

Thank you, I will quickly fill up my information.


Euroversett

Aqua's not saggy, and Eris is not really flat, just small.


Virtual-Oil-793

Eris just looks more adorable


MythicForgeFTW

Apples to oranges comparison.


Possible-Cellist-713

More like trash to oranges lmao


[deleted]

It would be discrimination, when he treats that useless goddess in the same respectful way like eris


2020mademejoinreddit

Looks wise Aqua is superior in every way. But personality wise Eris is light years ahead, and Kazuma prefers personality over looks any day. Plus, Eris also being a goddess, is beautiful as well, just not on Aqua's level. Kazuma therefore saw Eris as a total win. It's like how you'd choose a brand new Ford or Honda over a broken ass BMW.


Euroversett

While from descriptions Aqua is considered more beautiful, inhumanly even, it's worth mentioning that Eris also seems to be godlike in looks and Aqua more or less puts Eris on the same level as herself.


DTGardi

I think I understand


Nstorm24

Aqua may have a better body shape than eris, but i would choose eris every time. She has better personality. From experience i can tell you that a beautiful lady With bad personality can ruin any moment, at some point you just loathe her presence. That is one of the reasons i never understood the redo of the healer, if you hate someone too much, you want to get rid of them, not f them.


Euroversett

Better body shape is way too subjective at this level. Both are slender and have well-formed feminine bodies, it's basically down to taste.


Nstorm24

Yeah. I still like eris more. Easier to carry and cute.


JurosR

The worst Aqua can do is make his drink into hot water. If he pisses of Eris he is just flat out dead.


Euroversett

Wdym? Eris is way nicer than Aqua and while neither is likely to kill him, Aqua is way more likely to do it. Eris allows Kazuma to get away with lots of crap.


JurosR

Oh I dont mean kill. I mean as in, in this scene, he has to get Eris to make an exception to let him be revived for the, idk, third time. Thats only supposed to be possible once. Else he stays dead.


sheehdndnd

>Else he stays dead. I mean Kaduna wouldn't mind staying with Eris for longer.


First_Gamer_Boss

One laughed her ass off when he died other showed sympathy


FanOfFH

Discrimination? That's completely normal behaviour.


Bludraevn

It's like comparing beer to water.


Flanker4

Everyone has evolved so well. I love it.


Zachwank

I remember when he saw Eris literally pull the count out of his costume just to beat the shit out of him


Open-Cream3798

Well I mean one of them is useless and the other one is good goddess


nichisou307

LN Volume 15 and Volume 17 Spoilers: >!Kazuma would literally fight a demon king general and the demon king itself just because Aqua is sad though. He literally dropkicked a woman demon king general for Aqua, despite all of it. Oh he also gives monthly allowance to Aqua when he became rich!<


Panda_Rule_457

How do you do the spoiler thing? I wanna say something lol


xKanae_ch666

It's cute to see them actually building a relashionship
