I love time travel the most!

"........."

"I knew something was off." Kobayashi grinned widely, as if he had pulled off a smug prank. "Whether it was your tone and reaction when you were excited just now, or that little habit of unconsciously scratching your cheek, I knew my suspicions were right. You are Chris, aren't you?"

"Mr. Kobayashi...?!?"

Eris seemed quite shocked.

Kobayashi drew closer and whispered in her ear, "Goddess Eris, you don't want your secret to be exposed, do you?"

"no, do not want!"

Eris quickly grabbed Kobayashi's arm and pleaded in a low voice, "I'll do it, I'll do anything! Please, please don't tell anyone!"

Wait a minute, you guys are all the same!

What kind of traditional art is this?

"No, no, no, I don't have any strange thoughts about you."

As he spoke, he noticed her flat chest.

A is not an option.

It was so slightly raised and lowered that it wasn't even worthy of being used as a pillow, so how could he possibly have any thoughts about it?

"How, how could..."

Eris knelt on all fours, looking utterly dejected.

But Kobayashi knew that her disappointment wasn't due to being underestimated, but rather because she felt incredibly hurt that she, as a goddess, had absolutely no charm.

This situation is also conceivable.

After all, when she was Chris, she was so flat-chested and had a carefree and outgoing personality that the adventurers always mistook her for a boy.

This naturally reflects her true personality.

"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone," Kobayashi said, crouching down and patting her shoulder to comfort her.

"……real?"

"Really. Let's keep it a secret between the two of us."

Only after receiving reassurance did Eris feel relieved.

Before she could speak, Aqua's voice came again, shouting, "Hey—! Kobayashi, wake up, it's already morning!"

"Aren't you going to wake up yet... Hey, Aqua, could it be that you've suffocated Kobayashi-senpai too many times and your skill has stopped working?" Kazuma Sato's voice interrupted, as always, scolding Aqua.

Aqua retorted, annoyed, "How could that be? I'm a goddess, believe me!"

After saying that, she shouted at Eris in an unreasonable manner, "Hey, you idiot Eris, hurry up and bring Kobayashi back!"

"Eh... Eh—Aqua-senpai?!"

"Hurry! Eris!"

Listening to the senior's unreasonable demands, the aggrieved junior looked pitifully at Kobayashi, as if complaining to him and hoping that he could scold the junior a little.

Even Kobayashi felt that Aqua had gone too far.

He nodded silently, indicating that he agreed to the request, along with the punishments that had brought him here several times.

Then Kobayashi stood in the magic circle.

Eris stepped forward, as if she had something to say.

Kobayashi lightly touched his lips with his index finger and mouthed the message to her—

"It's a secret, isn't it?"

Eris smiled with relief after receiving the reply.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

The morning sunlight was a bit dazzling. When Kobayashi opened his eyes, he saw Aqua and Kazuma Sato huddled beside him, looking at him with concern.

"Senior Kobayashi, are you alright?"

"It's nothing, it's nothing, I just went to see my goddess."

"How can you call this nothing?"

Kazuma Sato muttered a soft remark.

Going to see the goddess means death, and death is no small matter!

Give me even greater reverence for death!

Aqua patted her chest and boasted, "It's alright, as long as I'm here, Kobayashi will definitely be resurrected!"

"Hehe, I wonder who caused this."

Kazuma Sato continued his吐槽 (tu cao, a form of online commentary/criticism).

"Lord Kobayashi, please wipe your face." Ryuko offered a warm towel that was damp with water.

"Thank you, Liu Zi."

After thanking him, Kobayashi took the package and looked at Ryuzu curiously, asking, "Ryuzu, why did Aqua come to my room last night?"

"Wasn't it Lord Kobayashi's request?"

"……Um?"

"You bought this mansion saying you wanted me to have my own room, but actually you just wanted me to leave so you could take advantage of other women at night. I never imagined you had such a purpose. You are such a despicable and filthy owner, you have completely lowered my moral character."

"...You've got it wrong!!!"

Chapter 119 Forbidden Dress Aqua

"As expected, there aren't any powerful skills."

The adventurer card displayed a huge number of skills, almost filling the entire card.

But Kobayashi was still not satisfied.

All the skills he has learned so far are beginner-level skills, such as stealth, perception, theft, sniping, basic magic, physical resistance, cooking, etc., and he doesn't have any skills like Huihui's explosive magic or Wiz's frost magic.

In other words, he has no ultimate move.

"Explosion magic! Do you want to learn explosion magic?!"

Upon hearing his words, Huihui quickly leaned closer and excitedly said, "Speaking of the ultimate magic, there's only Explosion Magic, right? So, Kobayashi, would you like to embark on the path of Explosion Magic with me?!"

Explosion magic is humanity's ultimate offensive magic.

I will definitely learn it, but I won't reach the level of instantaneous power and exaggerated strength that Huihui possesses.

"Calm down, little girl! To learn Explosion Magic, you need enough skill points, and I'm still far from that." Kobayashi pushed away her face that was leaning towards him.

Whenever magic is mentioned, she gets excited and starts talking about explosion magic, acting like a salesperson.

Upon hearing that there were no skill points left, the little girl immediately became dejected.

How can I increase my skill points?

While resetting your level and starting over is a good method, it's not without its drawbacks.

Even if all skills can be retained, the stats gained during that time will be completely reset to their initial values. Furthermore, the mana and stamina required for powerful spells and skills are tied to these stats, which could very well result in a situation where you know the skills but can't use them.

That would be putting the cart before the horse, so very few people do it.

Darkness asked, "Should we use a skill point potion?"

"Skill Point Potion..."

As the name suggests, it's something that increases skill points.

Compared to other methods, skill point potions are quite simple and convenient to obtain and use, and have no drawbacks other than being a little expensive.

However, this was no problem at all for Kobayashi.

Who told him to have over 2 million in savings?

"Okay, let's go find Wiz."

Kobayashi made the final decision.

Wiz usually keeps these kinds of items in stock; they're luxuries that novice adventurers can't afford, and they're her favorites.

Arrive at Wiz's magic tool shop.

"welcome!"

Wiz's energetic voice followed.

It's clear that business has been good lately. In the past, she would often lie listlessly on the table waiting for customers to come in, but now she can take the initiative to greet customers.

"Because we no longer need to go to the market to pick up leftover vegetable scraps to eat!"

What she said was so heartbreaking that I couldn't bear to watch anymore.

That's so tragic!

and also……

"Hey, Aqua, don't pounce on her, okay? Please don't pounce on her, you hear me?"

Kobayashi held down the silly goddess's shoulder, afraid that she would vent her dissatisfaction with the lich on Wiz.

The goddess, who usually turns into a rabid dog when she sees the undead, showed no reaction this time.

Instead, she said in surprise, "Why? I would never do that!"

"……Eh?"

"As long as she obediently hands over the tribute to me, I will not bully her; on the contrary, I will protect her."

Aqua said this with a rather assertive tone.

This is the kind of talk a petty thug would give. Where did you come from, some kind of yakuza goddess?!

"Lady Aqua, thank you!"

Wiz's grateful look at Aqua made Kobayashi feel even more sorry for her. Being grateful to someone just because they weren't being bullied... she couldn't bear to watch anymore.
