I love time travel the most!

After Xiaolin tested it, it was indeed just as she had said, just like what she had seen when she peeked under her skirt before.

...Wait, did we reveal something?

He shook his head and asked again, "Then what's with that look of disdain you gave me?"

Aqua said disdainfully, "Because it's too ugly. Those eyes make me feel uncomfortable, and I really want to change them."

After she finished speaking, she moved closer.

Before she could react, she sketched a few lines on Xiaolin's forehead and redrawn a pattern.

Aqua nodded in satisfaction: "Yes, this looks much better."

"...Hey, you idiot! What are you doing, changing things like this? If the Imperial Arms doesn't work anymore...you're lying, the effect has actually become stronger."

Kobayashi tested the Imperial Arms and found that its effects were even stronger than before.

I was immediately speechless.

Why is she always useful in strange and unusual situations, but never useful in important matters?

So what exactly did she change the design to?

Puzzled, Kobayashi picked up the mirror, and the pattern reflected in it looked very familiar.

The emblem of the Axis religion.JPG

Two rhombuses overlap, with an inexplicable diagonal line extending from the middle, and more than a dozen 'x' arcs on both sides of the rhombuses.

It is entirely light blue, with a strange luster.

Does it look good?

The eyes look much better than before.

However, the Axis religion is really unpopular in Konosuba, and its iconic emblem will likely make Kobayashi disliked wherever she goes.

Even the all-seeing eyes conveyed a sense of grievance.

There's no going back.

However, Kobayashi doesn't care about style or form; what matters is that it's useful and powerful.

Aqua pouted her little nose and said proudly, "Consider it a gift from the goddess to her most devout believer. If it weren't for Kobayashi, I wouldn't have used my divine power to help you transform."

"Thank you, Aqua."

Xiaolin expressed his heartfelt gratitude.

After enhancing [Five Visions All-Powerful], the two were even more confident in modifying Liu Zi.

Count on your fingers.

"Using the Imperial Arms at the same time is quite a burden, so let's hurry up."

After a series of modifications by a mad scientist.

When Ryuuzi awoke again, although she looked the same as before, a [magic circuit] had been implanted inside her body.

"How are you? Is there anything you're having trouble adjusting to?"

Kobayashi asked with concern.

After carefully examining it, Liu Zi shook her head and said, "There's nothing unusual. The circuit perfectly avoids every component. Lord Kobayashi's modification is very successful."

"Great."

Kobayashi relaxed.

He let out a long breath, feeling a wave of dizziness. After five hours, he really couldn't take it anymore.

"Then let's not delay, let's quickly test if the circuit works!" Aqua said excitedly.

"Is it okay, Ryuu-zukuri?"

"Yes, anytime."

"If anything seems unusual, you must speak up."

He gave a word of advice, closed his eyes, and began to communicate with the [magic circuit] within Liu Zi's body. Because a link had been established with him, he slowly injected magic power from a distance.

"Well."

Liu Zi gave a soft hum.

Startled, Kobayashi quickly stopped and asked, "Are you alright? Are you feeling unwell anywhere?"

"No."

Liu Zi shook her head, put her index finger and thumb together, and said, "I just felt a little bit of Lord Kobayashi's... it was quite a feeling."

Don't say things that could cause misunderstandings!

This was Ryuko's first time, so Kobayashi naturally had to be very careful.

Once she gets used to it, you won't need to be so gentle.

With a slow and steady approach, the infusion of magic was successful.

"Then, let's test your abilities!"

—Imaginary number switch!

Liu Zi's figure vanished instantly, then reappeared behind Xiao Lin, gently embracing his waist.

Kobayashi asked with concern, "How are you? Is the burden heavy?"

“No, after being enveloped by the unknown power, the burden is almost gone, and the time has been extended by 11.28 seconds. Lord Kobayashi's modification is very successful.” Ryuji stated the exact figures.

"But the problem is that the startup time is too slow."

If using gears, Ryuu can activate it instantly, while using magic requires 3 seconds to accumulate.

"It seems we still need to practice more."

"Yes, Master Xiaolin."

A happy smile spread across Liu Zi's face, and Xiao Lin patted her head with satisfaction.

Only Aqua stood there, looking annoyed, as a background character.

Chapter 101 Free Invitation Coupon for the Succubus Shop

Kazuma Sato is very happy lately.

When Kobayashi-senpai returned, he felt much more relaxed without the burden on his shoulders.

Thinking about all the troubles that had been troubling him lately, he felt a deep sense of gratitude for Xiaolin's care for him. Now he finally understood the weight of Xiaolin's kindness towards him.

Thank you so much, Kobayashi-senpai!

With gratitude in his heart, Kazuma Sato took a big gulp of the sparkling wine, then let out a long burp and slumped back in his chair with a satisfied look on his face.

That shoddy approach drew the disdain of a passing waitress.

At that moment, a man appeared.

"Oh, Kazuma, you're actually taking a break here? That's quite a rare sight."

Duster, drunk, sidled up to him.

Kazuma Sato gave him a disdainful shove and said unhappily, "Aren't you the same? Drinking in broad daylight, is that really okay?"

"no problem, no problem."

Duster waved his hand dismissively and chuckled, "We're resting today. The team members all went home, so I'm drinking. But you, you're just slacking off here, not even hanging out with those pretty girls?"

When Kobayashi and Aqua teamed up, Dust was extremely envious, thinking that the two of them, surrounded by beautiful girls, must be living a very enjoyable and happy life every day.

however--

If their roles were reversed, they would know that Kazuma Sato is not only unhappy, but also lives a life of misery and suffering every day.

Sooner or later, I'll let him experience it too.

Kazuma Sato looked at him with malice and casually said, "They went to bother Kobayashi-senpai."

"So you're saying you're being ignored?" Duster raised an eyebrow.

"certainly not!"

Kazuma Sato was very grateful to Kobayashi.

Because it freed him from the entourage of those problem children and from the torment of those idiots.

Duster completely misunderstood.

He patted Kazuma Sato on the shoulder and comforted him, "It's okay, even if you're being ignored, you still have your own unique charm."

"...What are you suddenly saying?"

Kazuma Sato looked at him with disdain.

Duster, however, didn't care. Instead, he leaned closer again, furtively pulling out two tickets from his pocket and whispering enticingly, "Speaking of which, how about the two of you, feeling neglected, go seek comfort together? Free tickets to the succubus shop, how about it? Want to come along?"

"Invitation vouchers..."

Kazuma Sato swallowed unconsciously.

The succubus shop is a great place to release stress and eliminate excess energy, but the price of 5000 Eris at once left him, who was short of money, feeling rather helpless.

The money Kobayashi left behind had already been used to pay off the town's losses because of Huihui's destruction, so he had been looking forward to the succubus shop for a long time.

He looked at Duster with some uncertainty.

"Is it really okay for you to ask me to go...?"

"It's alright, it's alright. Kazuma helped you explore the dungeon before, so consider this a return gift. How about it, want to go?"

"I want to go! I want to go!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Kazuma Sato readily agreed; it would be a shame to miss out on such a good opportunity.
