I love time travel the most!

"I've heard that you've all been working very hard lately."

His sarcastic remarks were undisguised.

Kobayashi stared with dead fish eyes and said, "If you know, then don't say it."

"I'm so sorry." Duster's apology was insincere, but he still invited, "The best thing to do at a time like this is to eat something delicious and have a good drink. I'll treat you to a tavern later."

"Thank you for the invitation... but I don't need any cure right now."

"Oh? No treatment is needed?"

"What, what's wrong..."

"So, even if I asked you to go to that shop, you wouldn't go back, right?"

"Hmph, that shop is a different story."

The three men exchanged knowing smiles.

Speaking of which, he was planning to go to the succubus shop anyway, so he might as well take Duster with him. Duster's presence would be helpful in getting rid of those girls.

"Hey, what are you guys whispering about?"

"No, it's nothing, don't worry about us."

Perhaps his smile was too frivolous, because Darkness asked him a question, and Sato Kazuma gave a slightly flustered explanation.

Duster whispered, "This isn't something girls should hear. Let's move a little further away."

"That's right, this is a good opportunity to get rid of them."

The three exchanged glances, and the unspoken understanding between the men allowed them to briefly communicate their thoughts.

Kobayashi shouted to the three men, "Sorry, we have men's talk to do, you guys go ahead."

"It's okay, we'll wait here."

"Just let us know when you're done."

"Please hurry up!"

Since you've said that, you can go now...

These three idiots are determined to follow me to the end, even though they've already been exposed.

"Speaking of that store, Kazuma, do you still have any coupons?"

Duster shamelessly offered Sato and Makoto free tickets to the succubus shop.

Kazuma Sato exclaimed in surprise, "Shouldn't you be treating me? Have you already used up all the coupons I gave you?"

"There's nothing I can do, isn't there? Every night I ask the succubus to give us a good dream, and it's all used up in the blink of an eye," Duster sighed softly.

What's with this good-for-nothing smug about?

"You should restrain yourself a little."

"Don't put all your energy into this, you idiot."

Kobayashi and Sato Kazuma tried to persuade him together.

Kestor, however, shifted the blame to Kazuma Sato, saying, "Oh dear~ my delusions of desire are getting stronger and stronger lately, hehehe! I've discovered that changing clothes is actually quite nice, especially the outfits you recently made for the nobles, Kazuma, they're really great to use!"

"Don't use clothes on this! ...Although they do have some use in this regard!"

Kazuma Sato instinctively objected, but when he thought of the perverted "play" unique to the island nation, he could accept it.

Dress-up play...

Upon hearing this, Xiaolin's mind started to race.

The reason I wanted to go to the succubus shop so much was because I was seduced by Kazuma Sato's clothes, and I wanted to see what Esdeath, Leone, Sheele, Chelsea and the others would look like in other clothes in my dreams.

Teachers, maids, cheongsams, swimsuits...

Just thinking about it is so exciting!

Since a physical relationship has already occurred, this kind of thing can be forgiven, right?

What? You mean why not use the ring to travel through time? Wouldn't it be better to experience the physical world instead?

That's because if I were to waste my divine power on time travel because of this, I would feel like I was letting Aqua down... It's like using the money meant to support one's own woman to support another woman; I would resist it from the bottom of my heart.

"Alright, that's enough, it's on me!"

"Thank you so much!" x2

Were these two putting on a show in front of me just to get me to treat them to a meal? What scumbags!

Oh well, it's all just small change anyway.

But before that, we need to consider how to shake off those tagalongs.

Kobayashi's eyes lit up when he inadvertently spotted Guard A and Guard B patrolling the street. With a flick of his wrist, he produced two free invitation tickets to the succubus shop and went to greet them.

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.

"So slow! Those two are so slow!"

Aqua, bored, sprayed water, wetting the ground beneath her feet. Luckily, they were in a corner, or the shopkeeper would definitely have kicked them out.

"Something feels off, why don't we go over there together?"

Huihui had a bad feeling.

The other two women agreed to the suggestion and prepared to join the conversation.

But to our surprise, the guards came to greet us first.

Guard A stared dangerously at Aqua and the others, and said coldly, "Is it just the three of you?"

"Th-that...why is it?"

Huihui's expression turned slightly uneasy.

She remembered the explosion magic she and Aqua had used earlier that day. They were both rather lazy, so they just used it wherever was nearby. Could it be that they were here to capture her?

but……

"According to passersby, the three of you were acting suspiciously and following other adventurers. We suspect you are the perverted women who have been frequently seen in Axel recently."

"Eh...?! It's a misunderstanding! It's a misunderstanding! We're comrades, comrades!"

"There's no point in saying more! Let's talk about the specifics in the interrogation room. I'll listen carefully to your explanations."

"No, no!!!"

The three were arrested because of their previous stalking.

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 -.

"Alright, the troublemaker is gone, let's go quickly." A relieved smile appeared on Xiaolin's face.

Duster worriedly said, "Is this really a good thing? They are your companions, aren't they? They've all been captured by the guards."

"It's okay, it's okay. I told them to just treat them to good food and drink and let them stay for two hours. By then, Sato and I were already sound asleep in the mansion."

"Oh, I see!!!"

Kazuma Sato was also very excited.

Then the three of them, arm in arm, singing cheerful songs, headed straight for the succubus shop.

Just opened the door—

"I've been waiting for you for a long time, Lord Kobayashi."

"……Eh?"

Instead of a voluptuous succubus lady in a daring outfit, he was greeted by an elegant doll dressed in a gorgeous gown.

Meeting Kobayashi's stunned gaze, Ryuji bluntly retorted:

"I never expected that someone would sneak out while the waiter was setting things up, and that all this trouble was just to come here and have fun. Did they think that would make their plans succeed? How ridiculous. But let me give you a little praise for your hard work, and for your laughable incompetence."

"W-Why is Ryuzu...? Aren't you doing regular maintenance?"

Xiaolin doesn't know what went wrong.

Ryuu explained, "Because I asked Lady Aqua to move the time forward by a day, my purpose was naturally to find out what Lady Kobayashi was doing. It seems that Lady Kobayashi, you've been staying with the rest of your team for too long, and your brain isn't working so well after all. Alright, let's go back now."

"No, no—!"

Kobayashi let out a painful howl.

He ultimately didn't get to experience the succubus store's services, but that missing element was filled by Ryuzu's dress-up play.

It can be considered that my wish has been fulfilled.

Chapter 128 The Third Time Traveling

There is a group of people in this world who are called adventurers.

They fight against monsters that threaten the safety of the people day and night, and spend their days making money by eating and drinking extravagantly, living a life where they don't know if there will be a tomorrow. This is the kind of people they are.

But even these unplanned adventurers would leisurely spend their days in inns when winter came.

This is because weak monsters almost always hibernate in winter, and the monsters that are still active are all very difficult to deal with.

The town that Kobayashi and his friends used as their base—Axel—is a gathering place for novice adventurers. Therefore, the adventurers here are not much stronger than ordinary people, and doing hunting-type work in winter is no different from committing suicide.

...Actually, all of the above are just excuses.

The reason why Kobayashi and the others don't do the mission is entirely due to laziness.

After all, the warmth of a warm bed in winter is just too tempting, and with so much savings, going to work in the freezing cold outside is really just asking for trouble... Except for one perverted knight who wants to experience the thrill of being frozen to the point of death, the entire team is living a life of utter destitution in the mansion.

They're not short of money!

Two hundred million Eris is enough for them to squander for several years. Even if they are in a hurry to defeat the Demon King, there is no rush. In addition, the Demon King's army is probably preparing for winter.

This leads to a problem.

—Too much free time!

Staying at home is bearable for a day or two, but you'll get bored after a week, and feel uncomfortable after a month.
