Begrudgingly.

"Um... Aqua? Could you get off of me?" Wiz asked Aqua as Kazuma blinked, realizing he was still holding Aqua's hair and released her.

"Hmmph, fine," Aqua grumbled, before pausing, and grinned.

"...Aqua, if you do what you're about to do, I'm giving you to Ria full time," Kazuma deadpanned, and Aqua blanched.

"Fiiiiiiine," she whined, pulling away from Wiz. "But honestly, tolerating an undead who is also a Devil King General is asking a lot of a goddess."

With that, an old man entered the shop as Wiz got up. "Oh, realtor-san?" Wiz asked, greeting the guy.

"Good afternoon Ms. Wiz," the man, apparently a realtor, greeted. "Could you help me out with something?"

"Sure, what do you need?" Wiz asked.

"You see, I have had an evil spirit problem in one of my properties. They've infested the place, and no matter how many times I exorcise them, new ones just move right in! I can't sell the place like this! Do you think you can do anything about it?"

"Perhaps I can," Wiz replied.

"Why don't we help you out? Undead are one of the few things Aqua is actually good for," Kazuma replied.

"I'd appreciate the help Kazuma," Wiz smiled.

"Oh?! You're Kazuma?" the old man brightened up.

"You've heard of me?" Kazuma asked.

"Of course I have! Your party has been making some waves, and I heard that you killed a Beginner's Bane yourself! Aside from Kyouya, your party has done the most good around here for the past few weeks!"

"Huh, we really ARE getting famous!" Aqua grinned at Kazuma.

"I'll tell you what, if your party can help get rid of the evil spirits, I'll let you live in the house until I find a buyer!" the man told Kazuma.

"Now we're definitely in, a house will definitely be better than that rickety old cheap inn!" Kazuma grinned.

"We could have found a better inn if you weren't so cheap!" Aqua stuck her tongue out.

"I'm not cheap!"

"...how many swords have you broken again?"

"It's called being frugal until we can buy the really nice things!" Kazuma said heatedly.

The two bickered back and forth for several minutes as Wiz and the realtor watched, sweat dropping.
