I love time travel the most!

And that's the problem.

Because they were monsters favored by blacksmiths, they were frequently featured in guild quests. With generous rewards, adventurers would strike hard and wipe them out almost completely. You shouldn't see them in this nearly abandoned mine anymore.

However, the appearance of so many in such a short period of time is definitely suspicious.

After thinking for a moment, he said to the female knight beside him, "Darkness, let's retreat here for now and tell the guild about this..."

"Go and take them down, right? I got it!" Darkness, who was eager to try, excitedly charged forward.

Oh no, she's going to give it away for free!

"Wait, I meant retreat, right? It's retreat, isn't it!" Kobayashi looked at Darkness, who was rushing forward recklessly, with a headache.

She's always been like this, charging forward desperately when she encounters an enemy. Those who don't know her might think she wants to fight a powerful foe, but those who do understand she's simply enjoying the thrill of getting beaten up.

Looking at Darkness surrounded by numerous monsters, Kobayashi was genuinely relieved that the monsters that appeared were not goblins.

otherwise--

The scene of "Goblin and Female Knight.MP4 (Dungeon Version)" will definitely happen.

Kobayashi grabbed his pickaxe and rushed forward: "Darkness, hold on, I'm coming!"

"Hahaha, hahahahaha—"

Darkness laughed loudly amidst the monster horde, never falling even when rammed by countless stone monsters, and even excitedly charging forward to take the beating.

That's it, she's completely gone mad.

Kobayashi naturally couldn't just watch her enjoy...being beaten, so he kept tapping the silver protrusion on the back of Smile's head from the outside.

This is their weakness, and also where the ore accumulates.

Smail moves very fast, and because its weak point is at the back of its head, few people can hit its weak point in one blow. However, it's different with a knight who keeps taunting the monster.

Kobayashi swiftly eliminated the monsters on the outer perimeter, and whenever they sensed something amiss and tried to escape, Darkness, surrounded in the center, used the [Taunt] skill to forcefully pull them back.

Thanks to the foolish knight's thick skin, he was able to easily defeat the monster.

after an hour

"Come on! Come on! Is this all you've got? Keep attacking fiercely!"

Darkness shouted excitedly when her desires were not met, but unfortunately, all the monsters that had surrounded her had already been dealt with by Kobayashi.

"It's over, take a break."

Darkness was fine, but Kobayashi was exhausted. Each swing of the pickaxe required all his strength, which was incredibly physically demanding.

However, this time the harvest was substantial.

The scattered iron ore not only fulfilled Bill's request, but also allowed him to make a fortune.

"But it's still strange, why do they appear in groups of them?"

Xiaolin sat cross-legged on the ground, deep in thought.

Darkness, standing nearby, pointed to a monster in the distance and asked, "Could it be related to it?"

Follow the direction of your finger.

A monster was lurking in the shadows of an inconspicuous corner of the passageway.

Its shape is spherical, just like Smile's.

However, unlike other parts, its third crescent moon, which acts as a mouth, is upside down, making its expression look as if it is crying.

【Kulei】

The leader of Smail is also a very rare monster. It can also gather refined iron ore in its body, but the precision of the gathering is more than ten times that of ordinary ore. In fact, the refined iron ore it gathers can be used as an alchemical material.

It was highly praised by alchemists and blacksmiths.

"Just take it down too, right?"

Darkness raised his knight's sword and charged forward once again, disregarding everything else.

She's going to give it away for free again.

"Wait, it's different from those monsters!"

Kobayashi tried to stop her, but Darkness, who was in high spirits, couldn't hear him at all.

If it were just a monster, it wouldn't seem like much. However, Kure and Smile are different; they explode when they encounter danger.

It really will explode!

Darkness raised his knight's sword high, his maniacal laughter making him look less like a crusader protecting the people and more like a berserker, charging savagely at Kurei.

The terrifying aura caused Kulai's already downturned mouth to curve even lower, making it look like it was about to cry. Then, a dazzling light suddenly burst forth from inside its body.

Oh no, it's going to explode!

Now that the two are in a narrow passageway, one can imagine what would happen if a violent explosion occurred.

--collapse.

"This idiot!"

Xiaolin rushed forward quickly.

Unfortunately, it still couldn't stop the explosion.

boom--

The power of the explosion was far less than that of the explosive magic, but due to the terrain, the entire tunnel began to collapse after being subjected to a violent impact.

The wooden beams, which were made of wood, could no longer hold up at this moment.

Collapse!

I thought I would be buried in the passageway by the falling rocks, but unexpectedly the space beneath the floor was also blown up.

Darkness had nowhere to land and fell downwards without realizing it.

"Darkness—!"

Kobayashi's speed exploded instantly, and he leaped up to hug Darkness.

In a panic, he forcibly changed his body shape, trying to use himself as a cushion, but Knessi turned himself down to act as a cushion instead.

puff--

The two fell into the second-level passageway.

Fortunately, the altitude wasn't too high, and they weren't seriously injured.

"Um……"

Darkness whispered a word of advice.

Because she had been attacked by monsters, most of the armor on her chest was damaged, and it seemed to be magnetically attracted to Kobayashi's hands.

"Little...little...little...Kobayashi?!"

Darkness cried out in embarrassment.

However, Kobayashi angrily scolded, "Honestly, why don't you listen to me? Luckily there was a second level, otherwise we would both definitely have ended up seeing Eris! And why did you put me up here again just now?!"

"Because I am a Knight of the Cross."

Darkness looked slightly aggrieved.

——Forgot.

Darkness's physical strength is extraordinary; she can easily withstand the impact of falling from a great height.

Darkness retorted, "It's Kobayashi who's here. Why did he come over here, and why did he put himself below him?"

"...Because I was worried about you, I rushed over instinctively." Kobayashi sighed and said softly, "If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have come to save you."

"Worried about me...hehehe—"

Darkness became even more shy.

But neither of them noticed that the collapse above their heads was not over yet; a floorboard silently fell and slammed into Xiaolin's head.

“——?!!!”

His head involuntarily lowered, and his lips happened to touch Darkness's.

chirp——

Darkness stared wide-eyed at Kobayashi, who was pressed against her, and hurriedly pushed him away with both hands.

"W-what are you doing, Kobayashi!"

Her cheeks flushed red, and she waved her hands erratically.

She looked somewhat helpless and adorable, like a shy little girl who had never experienced anything.

However, no one saw it.

Darkness waited a moment but received no response, then discovered that Kobayashi had already passed out with his eyes closed.

"Xiao Lin, Xiao Lin, Xiao Lin?!"

Darkness's shouts kept coming to her ears, but Kobayashi couldn't open her eyes no matter what she did. She could only fall into a coma accompanied by the fleeting gentle touch and sweet scent.

We'll talk about what happens next after he wakes up.

Chapter 105 Knee Pillow = Chest Pillow

When Kobayashi opened his eyes, what came into view was a black inner shirt stretched taut by her ample bosom, its roundness and pertness in mid-air obscuring most of his vision, leaving him only able to see a small glimpse of her fair chin.

This is... this is...

A lap pillow?!

Kobayashi couldn't help but sigh softly, "What a fantastic vantage point."

After hearing the sound.

"Ah, you're awake."

Darkness lowered his head slightly and asked with concern, "Are you alright? Does anything else hurt?"
