I love time travel the most!

They met while being followed.

"That's it, I understand."

Kobayashi pointed to the two women still chasing each other in the confined space and asked, "Why did what happened between them just now?"

"Wiz said the contract has lasted for three months."

"hiss--"

A simple sentence made Xiaolin gasp.

Aqua is particularly prone to jealousy, but her jealousy is very targeted. She usually becomes extremely excited when she has a relationship with a lich, especially when she mistakenly believes that her followers will be stolen.

Most importantly, Kobayashi hadn't told her about his connection with the lich, which only made her more confused.

The two women were still wrestling in the arena.

Viz cried out in terror, "I'm going to ascend to heaven! I'm going to ascend to heaven! Lady Aqua, please let me go, please!"

"Impossible!" Aqua rubbed the wound desperately, shouting angrily, "It's them! This enormous evil has bewitched Kobayashi! I'll purify them completely!"

"No!!!"

"Purify!!!"

Kobayashi rubbed his forehead and intervened just as the situation was about to spiral out of control, pulling Aqua off Wiz.

"Aqua, you've gone too far."

"Xiao Lin?"

After being pulled away, Aqua blinked and said incredulously, "...You really were seduced by her."

Where did you get this conclusion?

Kobayashi retorted, then added, "I won't say all liches are good, but Wiz isn't a bad lich, and I won't make you believe that right away, but please at least give her some time to prove herself."

Upon hearing this, Wiz quickly ran behind Kobayashi, peeked out with her head, and timidly said, "Lady Aqua, please believe me, I'm really not a bad person."

"I also believe you are not a bad person."

"Lady Aqua!"

"You are a wicked lich."

"Aqua-sama——?!!!"

Wiz thought he had gained recognition, but he didn't expect that she would still be regarded as an evil lich.

Whether she is a good lich or not is not important; what is important is that she is a lich, which naturally arouses Aqua's opposition.

"But there's one thing Aqua absolutely needs to know."

"what?"

“Wiz provides us with a magical item worth 200,000 Eris every month, and its existence will give us more than 200,000 Eris. If Wiz stops providing it to us, then we won’t have the money to buy you bubble wine.”

"What?!!!"

Aqua's eyes widened in shock, caught in a internal struggle.

I thought about it.

She hesitated and said, "But she bewitched you..."

"Where did you get that conclusion?" Xiaolin said, laughing and crying at the same time. "Besides, with you, the goddess of water, around, who could bewitch me?"

"Yes!"

Aqua's eyes lit up.

Then, she said arrogantly to Wiz, "Hey, lich, if you guarantee to pay tribute every month, I won't destroy you; instead, I'll bless you."

"No need for blessings..."

Wiz muttered softly.

She is a lich, essentially opposed to the goddess. What is called a blessing is a curse to her, especially when Aqua's blessing is extremely powerful.

If you're not careful, she'll be gone.

"But can she really deliver the tribute every month?" Aqua looked at Wiz's prop shop, her eyes filled with uncertainty.

Kobayashi was also puzzled and asked, "Wiz, is the magic item shop a bit more run-down than before?"

"What are you saying, Mr. Kobayashi?"

Wiz clasped his hands together, filled with hope for the future, and said sincerely, "My magical tool shop is thriving!"

Steam! You can steam them all!

Kobayashi stared speechlessly at the confident Wiz.

Where does she get her confidence from?

Xiao Lin patted her on the shoulder and comforted her, "You can fool us with these words, but don't fool yourself. If you're in a hurry to raise funds, try to make this place even better and make your words more polished and exaggerated, but remember, never fool yourself."

"That's so mean, Kobayashi!"

Wiz clenched his fists and said excitedly, "My shop really increased its turnover. Compared to last month, I only lost 10 Eris! Based on past experience, I would have lost at least 50 Eris! Thankfully, I lost less this month, so I don't have to go to the market to pick up rotten vegetable leaves anymore."

I lost 50 before, and now I've lost 10. Does that mean I made a profit? If the profit is higher than before, does that mean I didn't lose money?

Where did you get this theory of relativity from?

Wiz's thought process was truly bizarre; even Aqua couldn't stand it anymore.

"She actually went to pick up rotten vegetable leaves to eat... Xiaolin, can she really deliver tribute every month?"

"It's because she spent all her money on offerings that she became so poor that she had to eat rotten vegetable leaves."

"Really?! She's actually that devout?!"

Aqua looked at Wiz in surprise.

Then she approached Wiz with a holy expression, radiating a dazzling and incomparably sacred light, as if a goddess had descended.

...Wait, she's a goddess.

Then, to everyone's puzzled looks, Aqua actually cast a blessing spell on Wiz.

May you no longer be bound, freed from poverty and toil.

"Wait...wait, Lady Aqua, she's going to ascend to heaven! She's going to ascend to heaven!!!"

Bathed in divine light, Wiz's figure became even more ethereal.

Chapter 103

"It's just the two of us today."

"Yes, that's quite rare."

Kobayashi and Darkness walked along the road leading to the plain outside the town.

They are going to collect ore.

I previously salvaged quite a few usable parts from the High Throne.

Bill, who enjoys crafting equipment, was amazed when he saw the parts. He immediately said that there was no problem and that he could definitely make the best armor. He also gave them a lot of ore materials to mine.

Kobayashi didn't expect him to be able to create equipment on par with the Imperial Arms, but it would be great if he could strengthen his comrades.

"I'm sorry to have troubled you, Kobayashi." Darkness scratched his cheek, a little embarrassed.

Kobayashi waved his hand and said, "Don't say that, we're comrades, aren't we?"

Darkness is an important front-line fighter. Even though his body is comparable to the hardest Adamantite ore, who would refuse more powerful equipment?

At least Kobayashi believed she wouldn't refuse.

After all, being able to withstand stronger attacks also allows Darkness to enjoy the thrill of being beaten up even more.

"But I was a little surprised that everyone had something to do."

Kobayashi couldn't help but sigh.

Aqua is adjusting Ryuu's body, Kazuma Sato is going on an adventure to the dungeon with them to repay Duster, and Megumin is lying in bed unable to move because she released an explosion magic.

"Kobayashi, you mean you feel uncomfortable without a maid by your side, right?"

Darkness suddenly made a strange statement.

Kobayashi blinked, puzzled, and asked, "Why would you say that?"

“Those despicable nobles, because they have maids serving them at all times, have become so arrogant that they can’t even do basic work anymore. They just act all high and mighty, causing the maids to… Xiaolin, that must be it!” Darkness seemed very certain.

"No, you've definitely misunderstood something."

"Stop making excuses, that's just who you are!"

Darkness, panting heavily, wrapped her arms around her waist and said coyly, "Since that's the case... since it's because of me, then let me be your maid for now!"

"I think you just want to play the role. Besides, your outfit isn't that of a maid; you look more like a knight."

Kobayashi then chimed in with a sarcastic remark.

“That’s not important!” Darkness continued, panting heavily, her face flushed, and said urgently, “A maid is a servant who obeys her master, and that is me now.”

Wow--

Xiaolin knew that she was acting silly again.

Moreover, regardless of the situation, they will never stop until they are satisfied.

Darkness fell into delusion.

"If the master says it will rain, then even the clearest sky will surely rain."

"Hey……"

"Even when forced to do inhumane things, I can only grovel and obey my master's orders, even if it means humiliating my dignity as a woman!"

"Hey! I wouldn't be that unreasonable!"

“I can’t accept it, absolutely not! But I must obey my master’s orders! Come on, come on! Bring on any humiliating instructions and demands you may have! I don’t know how long I can hold out, do you think my heart will give in quickly? — If it’s Kobayashi’s… no, my master’s orders, I will accept any humiliating demands!”
