L84. Another Legend

"Sprite Messenger, you are just in time. I need your opinion."

"Rumor has it a huge water monster lurks in Lake Mila. I have to guard this place from a stupid urban legend!" Tido complained.

"I spent three months' salary purchasing this Mysterious Magic Bottle. If you open it near monsters, they will emerge and charge you. Please throw it into the lake for me. I want to see what happens."

"I want to prove to them that this is all hogwash!"

"Did you throw the bottle into the lake?" Tido asked expectantly.

"Itty bitty Sprites? Murderous giant worms? Giant furious butterflies? Sure, that's all pretty reasonable. But a real-life water monster? I mean, come on! Now I've heard everything!" he said with a chuckle.

"There's a goddess in the lake!"
Tido exclaimed, his amazement quickly fading into fear.

"Oh, no! What did I do?!"

"If I'd known there was a goddess in the lake, I would've dived right in and met her myself."

"I've always wanted to date a goddess, you know!"
