I love time travel the most!

Frey is very bad at socializing; in fact, one could say she avoids crowds. Based on the information gathered, she's simply an introverted girl who studies diligently by herself. Her vibrant appearance is purely cosmetic, which is quite pathetic.

In a sense, Frey is very similar to someone.

Yes, she looks just like Charlotte!

That's why Kobayashi specifically brought her here to investigate, hoping to resonate with her.

However, Charlotte seemed to have misunderstood. Noticing Kobayashi's gaze, the girl became flustered and exclaimed in panic, "W-what are you looking at, you pervert!"

"Um???"

Xiaolin has a confused look on his face.

Charlotte called out softly again, "I said... you really do... prefer bigger ones?"

"Yes! I like the big ones!"

Kobayashi's answer was incredibly decisive.

His preference has always been for curvy, older women, and that has never changed.

"But! If it's Charlotte, then it's a different story."

"……Eh?"

"Wasn't that clear? I meant... if it's Charlotte, even if she's small, she's still very cute. I like her a lot."

“You are such a person…”

Charlotte was unsure whether to be happy or angry.

Chapter 147 Are you angry? No.

The two left after finding no useful information.

With the rendezvous approaching and Charlotte very busy, Kobayashi was already very grateful that she could take the time to accompany him and listen to his explanation; he couldn't ask for anything more.

Back in the dormitory, I fell into a deep sleep.

But late at night, a dark figure quietly came to Xiaolin's dormitory and then crawled into his bed.

...The old bed made no sound, and the two figures were stacked together, with an unnatural bulge visible even in the darkness.

The moment Kobayashi's back was touched, his body suddenly tensed, and his strength burst forth from within, as if he were springy, reflexively subduing the intruder.

By locking the other person's arms and pinning them down on the bed, even a burly adult male would not be able to easily break free if this position is maintained.

At the same time, his right hand was pressed against the opponent, ready to use [Absorption Touch] at any moment.

...Even so.

The wrist held in my hand was slender, and the smooth touch was not a characteristic that men would have. The other person's hair exuded a faint, sweet fragrance, and the softness of my right hand kept flowing into my nerve endings.

It was a girl, and it smelled familiar.

I touched a hard object; judging from its shape, it should be a dagger.

Assassination?

"Tsk, what a bummer."

Kobayashi clicked his tongue softly.

Just then, the room lights were turned on, and after a brief burst of bright light, visibility returned, and the surroundings were illuminated.

It was Liu Zi who turned on the light.

The girl pinned to the bed has pearly white hair, and her tearful, aggrieved expression is enough to tempt anyone with a particular fetish. Meanwhile, on the bed next to her, there's a black wolfhound named Rabi pacing anxiously back and forth.

How exactly did she manage to break in?

Kobayashi's brain began to work.

He admitted that he had been a little careless, but with Freya's extremely clumsy assassination skills—stopping at the door and tripping over her clothes when she arrived at the target room—there was absolutely no way she could break through Kobayashi's senses.

unless……

"Is it magic?"

Only magic can defeat magic. The only way to avoid Kobayashi's perception is to use magic, and it has to be a high-level magic.

No, this world is more appropriately called magic?

but……

"If you're going to carry out an assassination, you have to accept the consequences of failure, don't you agree, Miss Frey?"

Kobayashi lightly licked the corner of his mouth.

The girl was wearing a black leather jacket, which was so tight that her curvaceous figure made it look incredibly taut. In addition, Kobayashi had opened her chest, where she was hiding a dagger, and her fair skin was faintly glowing under the light.

Black and white create a strong contrast.

It's truly irresistible.

His fingers continued to roam over her body, the touch of his fingertips carrying a fleeting warmth. The pure young girl, on the verge of tears, trembled slightly, seemingly timid and afraid.

This is really going to become my favorite night raid scene, [Investigator Hell.Mp4].

...That's impossible.

Although Miss Liu Zi behind him remained silent, her unspoken silence made Kobayashi even more hesitant to act rashly.

Releasing the imprisoned girl, Lavi seized the opportunity and rushed over. Frey also took the opportunity to ride on the wolfhound's back, suddenly rushed onto the balcony, smashed open the window, and jumped down, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

"Really, he's only incredibly fast when he's running away."

Xiao Lin muttered a complaint.

Then he turned to Liu Zi and said, "She's gone, so you'll have to make it up to me, Miss Liu Zi."

After saying that, he hugged the pretty automaton girl and fell asleep.

After all, it's a student dormitory; if you go too far, you might get kicked out by the dormitory manager.

the next day.

Just as Kobayashi was wondering if he should go find Frey, the students gathered in the courtyard suddenly parted to make way, and Charlotte walked over from the center.

Upon seeing this, Kobayashi couldn't help but exclaim, "You always make such a grand entrance; you really attract attention!"

"I didn't want this to happen either!" Charlotte complained, hands on her hips, chest puffed out, and pouting. "I even came all the way here to tell you about some of Frey's famous deeds. You should be grateful and listen carefully!"

"Just listen to her, Kobayashi. This information was gathered by Ciel from all over the dormitories, asking the female students for details." The dragon-shaped doll Sigmund praised his shy and proud master.

"Shut up, Sigmund! Or I'll make you eat salad!"

Charlotte clung tightly to the doll, nearly suffocating Sigmund.

Sure enough, she still paid close attention to Frey.

Charlotte often says she doesn't want to help others and even sees everyone as an adversary, but after learning about Frey's situation, she specially took the time to find out the reason.

The arrogant girl's kindness, though awkward, was also quite simple.

That's why Kobayashi had feelings for her.

"I'm so sorry to trouble you, Charlotte. Please, just tell me what you've said." Kobayashi pleaded.

Charlotte blushed slightly and coughed lightly, feigning seriousness, and said, "You should know about D-works, right?"

"……what is that?"

"I'm completely dumbfounded. How can you be considered a puppeteer of this academy?"

Seeing Kobayashi's bewildered expression, Charlotte sighed in disbelief. Kobayashi couldn't help but think that Kobayashi seemed to feel helpless about her every day.

It's not fair to blame Xiaolin for lacking common sense.

Although he remembered things about Akabane Raishin, Frey, and others, he was really unaware of some strange and trivial details, especially the various spheres of influence and hostile relationships in the world.

Charlotte is a very good example.

"D-works is a newly established machine shop that has made a name for itself in the last decade. They are also developing magic circuits, and five years ago they obtained a patent for a magic circuit that operates from a speaker. They were even nominated in a major weapon design competition."

"I never imagined that you could actually apply for a patent in this day and age?!"

"Is this the focus?!"

Charlotte was equally shocked by Kobayashi's shock.

Kobayashi waved his hand and said, "So, that workshop is the sponsor behind Frey and Loki?"

He might not remember their names, but if I say that the siblings' investor is their "father," the mastermind behind treating them as puppets and creating the current situation, he'll know.

“Their automatons must be the new test machines,” Charlotte sighed. “And without a doubt, they’re new automatons with very poor stability.”

Generally speaking, in a duel where defeat is absolutely unacceptable, the use of unstable automatons is not allowed.

However, even using ordinary methods during the night meeting might not be enough to become the Demon King, so they thought of incorporating the latest technology to increase their chances of winning.

the most important is……

"The Night Party is an exhibition of mechanical magic, gathering excellent mechanical devices of all types, old and new. Therefore, any powerful magic circuit that can be used here will definitely be usable all over the world!"

"In other words, the night party is the best stage?"

Testing can be conducted without engaging in war, and the work of recovering the mechs is relatively easy and safe. Since the tournament can also serve as a testing ground for the mechs, there is still profit to be made even if one does not ultimately become the Demon King.

Moreover, if the intention is to sell it to the military, the Night Party would be the perfect stage to showcase the performance of the Magic Circuit.

Charlotte sighed, "Now I understand why you were targeted for assassination."

"Yes, that's right." Kobayashi shrugged.

Since it's a presentation, the more sophisticated the nouns, the better.

If you are defeated on the first try, not only will you be unable to test and improve, but it will also be the worst outcome for the purpose of demonstration.

However, as long as the powerful Kobayashi is eliminated, Frey will not encounter any strong enemies in the short term.

If one takes this time to absorb, adjust, and strengthen their combat experience, it is not impossible to advance towards the position of Demon King.

Charlotte fell silent after speaking, turning her face away with a complicated expression.

Upon seeing this, Xiaolin asked with concern, "What's wrong? Are you on your period?"
