I love time travel the most!

As expected of one of the Demon King's military officers.

He has tried his best to improve his level, but the gap between them is still very large.

It seems we need to work even harder from now on.

"Hmph, you may look a little different from the others, but you are nothing to me now that I'm on my guard!" The headless knight loudly belittled Kobayashi, seemingly trying to bolster his own courage.

The person being belittled, on the other hand, smiled and looked completely harmless.

Looking at the clear blue sky, he said to the headless knight, "Hmm, the weather is really nice today. I wish we could have a water gun fight. Mr. Headless Knight, do you like playing in the water?"

"Huh... what are you saying all of a sudden?"

Even the Headless Horseman probably couldn't understand Kobayashi's erratic thought process at that moment.

But Xiaolin didn't say anything. Instead, he suddenly clenched his left index and middle fingers together into the shape of a gun and uttered an onomatopoeic word.

"—Biu!"

A stream of water shot from the fingertips toward the headless knight.

"K-Kobayashi-senpai?!"

Kazuma Sato cried out in surprise. He thought Kobayashi would have some good way to turn the tide of the battle, but it turned out to be just a basic water magic.

Facing the Demon King's army officers seems absurd no matter how you look at it, and might even provoke them.

However, this absurd little stream startled the headless knight, who jumped sharply to the side, fearing that his body would get wet.

"What...what are you doing all of a sudden?! You don't actually think this little stream of water will work on me, do you?!"

The headless horseman roared.

But Kazuma Sato's clever little brain spotted the blind spot, and he excitedly shouted to the magicians in the distance, "That's the weakness! The Headless Horseman is afraid of water!"

"That's it."

Kobayashi smirked, looking at the headless knight with malicious intent, and said with a wicked grin, "Headless knight, I'll ask you one more time, do you like playing in the water? Biu! Biu! Biu!"

The water gun kept shooting at the headless knight, forcing it to dodge.

"You, you bastard...you're a despicable scoundrel!"

"Thanks for the compliment."

Instead of feeling ashamed, he took pride in it, making hand gestures like pistols and continuously spraying water at the headless knight. The other magicians followed suit, shooting clear streams of water from all directions.

As the volume of water increases, it becomes increasingly difficult for the headless horse to dodge, and in the end, it will inevitably be the one to suffer a crushing defeat in the stalemate.

After some thought, he began to consider escaping.

however--

"Don't try to succeed."

A flash of purple light appeared, and as the creature dodged the oncoming water, Kobayashi's figure instantly appeared behind it and launched a fierce attack.

The headless knight hastily turned to block, and the greatsword and longsword collided in mid-air, sparking bright flames.

"Hey, that's going too far with a sneak attack!"

"Oh dear, hasn't Mr. Headless Horseman ever heard of the righteous gang-up?"

Kobayashi appeared and disappeared around it.

The weapons kept clashing in mid-air, which had created an effective suppression, but the headless knight was able to dodge in time every time, and the head in the sky could see the whole situation, which was very troublesome.

Shout to your companions in the distance.

"Sato-kun!"

"learn!"

Kazuma Sato raised his longbow and fired a shot at the headless knight.

—Sniper!

Ordinary arrows cannot harm it, but it exposed its weakness of having no resistance to water, and coupled with its inability to dodge in mid-air, it was shot down by Sato Kazuma, who had previously learned elemental arrows, using water arrows.

Hehehehehehe—

Kazuma Sato picked up the head of the headless knight, whose forehead was pierced by an arrow. The sinister smile on his face made the headless knight feel uneasy, and for a moment he couldn't figure out which of them was the real demon.

"In that case—"

The headless knight attempted a final counterattack, and Kobayashi seized the opportunity when the knight's defense faltered, plunging a high-quality water-attribute longsword into its chest.

"H-How could this be...?!"

"I already told you not to try and get away with it."

While unleashing his water-attribute attacks, Kobayashi shouted to the goddess who was still having a great time playing nearby, "Aqua, do it!"

"We've been waiting for this for a long time!"

Aqua also looked at the headless knight with ill intent. If it weren't for the divine power constantly gathering around her, Kobayashi would have doubted whether she was really the goddess of water.

"I'll throw it!"

"—Divine Purification!"

As Kazuma Sato threw the headless rider's head over, Aqua poured her immense divine power into the rider's body, and after a brief struggle, the rider was completely purified.

"Aa ...

The headless knight roared and vanished into thin air.

……

...

After a short silence.

"Oh oh ...

"We did it!!!"

"We made it!!!"

"To think they could defeat the Headless Horseman is simply unimaginable!"

The adventurers cheered with joy.

The town entrance turned into a bustling sea of ​​people.

Having successfully defeated a powerful enemy, Kobayashi felt no excitement, but instead disappointedly flicked his longsword.

no way.

Just like in RPG games, no matter how difficult or challenging a boss is, once you know its weakness, you can easily defeat it. Defeating enemies by relying on attribute advantages will not give you a sense of accomplishment.

This is a common problem with this type of game.

Kazuma Sato asked curiously, "Senior Kobayashi, you don't seem too happy about the Headless Horseman being defeated?"

"Well, how should I put it... I always feel sorry for Mr. Headless Horseman."

It did nothing wrong.

Originally, it came to the beginner village to investigate on the orders of the Demon King. It thought the adventurers here were all novices and wanted to leave it alone. However, it was blown to death by Megumin's explosive magic every day, so it had to come out of the castle to give a warning. Even though it did nothing wrong, it was still attacked.

"Poor headless knight, may there be no Crimson Demons or stupid goddesses in heaven, Amen... Aqua!"

"Don't talk about such scary things, Kobayashi-senpai!"

Kazuma Sato could already imagine the torment the Headless Rider would suffer if he encountered Aqua again in heaven.

"However, I will make good use of your bounty."

In a daze, Kobayashi seemed to hear the headless knight's thanks.

—Thank you!

Chapter 109 There's nothing a single burst spell can't solve.

"Everyone, let's go do the mission!"

The day after defeating the Headless Horseman, Megumin and Darkness urged their remaining companions to hurry up.

"Eh—" X3

The three, lacking enthusiasm, naturally looked disgusted.

Kazuma Sato curled up on the sofa and said lazily, "Why do we need to do missions? Aren't we about to get a huge bounty? We're not short of money at all."

“That’s right, Megumin, we just defeated the enemy, let’s take a rest,” Aqua advised.

In the past, saying this would definitely indicate laziness and a lack of desire to work, but Aqua, the part-time goddess, made the greatest contribution in this battle against the Headless Horseman, so she can confidently say that she doesn't want to work.

Kobayashi, who was lying between Liu Zi's legs, remained silent, acting as if she didn't exist.

Despite saying he would work hard to improve his level, he was actually a lazy person; otherwise, he wouldn't have followed his senior's example and written in his diary how he hated his own laziness.

I thought Huihui would give up, but she came prepared instead.

She said, "Kazuma, the team has no savings left, you should know that, right?"

"That's right..."

Kazuma Sato blinked and said strangely, "But defeating the Demon King's army officers will give us a huge reward, so there's no reason for us to go back to work, right?"

The bounty for defeating the Headless Horseman is a whopping 300 million Eris!

Even the Darkness family might not have that much money. As long as they don't squander it, they can live a happy life in the starting village.

"But the problem is the time it takes for the bounty to be paid out. Is that really okay? During this time, you won't be able to go to the shops you usually frequent..."

"Let's go do a mission!"

"So fast!"

In just a second, Kazuma Sato transformed from a lazy otaku into adventurer mode, because for him, not being able to go to the succubus shop was a big deal!

One person was successfully turned to the side.

Then Huihui looked at the silly goddess who was still lazily lying on the sofa.
