I love time travel the most!

Upon hearing his words, Darkness, still with his head turned away, shuddered.

Aqua added, "So, Darkness only stood in front of the town this time—you know, I really tried my best! I modified the mech that Kobayashi was piloting, and I also healed quite a few injured adventurers."

Darkness shuddered again upon hearing this.

Huihui sighed and said, "I'm no use to you, I can only watch."

Just when the useless knight thought she had found a companion, Kazuma Sato took credit for her, reminding her, "No, no, no, Megumin, have you forgotten? You used your explosion magic to set up the traps on the plains, and you destroyed the Destroyer's debris with your explosion magic when it landed."

"Oh, I see."

Huihui suddenly realized.

There was no ill intent originally, but Knessi shuddered again after hearing it.

"In that case, Mr. Kazuma's performance was truly outstanding! When the Destroyer fell from the sky, he was able to promptly direct all the adventurers to take refuge, preventing them from running around in circles."

Wiz, who had somehow arrived here, said this without any ill intent.

It seemed that Darkness couldn't bear it any longer, causing her to cover her face with her hands.

"Miss Wiz was even more impressive, casting a massive protective shield. Although it didn't cover the entire town, it blocked the first wave of debris rain, allowing Kazuma to react. I must say, even I don't have that much magic power."

Megumin admires Wiz, who is also a Grand Magister. Although they don't have the idea of ​​becoming close friends by casting Explosion Magic together, Megumin admits that Wiz is the strongest in Axel's starting village in terms of magical power!

Darkness shuddered again.

Aqua suddenly interrupted forcefully, shouting, "Wait, wait! The best one is still Kobayashi! Piloting my modified mecha, intercepting the Destroyer all by himself, shouldn't Kobayashi be the MVP?"

"Yes, you are right."

Everyone agreed.

After hearing what she said, Darkness, who had been covering her face with her hands, finally began to tremble slightly.

Kazuma Sato glanced at her sideways and teased, "...So, what exactly did this certain Crusader who kept clamoring to protect the town and acted so capriciously do?"

"W-This is...what is this new feeling?!...Waaaaaaahh ...

The teasing made Dakenis blush, and he immediately covered his face and squatted down.

Can you imagine that?

They say they want to make contributions, but in the end it's all just talk; they're giants in words but dwarfs in deeds.

And this feeling is called shame.

However, she didn't have time to enjoy this novel experience; an even more unbearable sense of shame awaited her.

Pat her on the back.

"Xiao Lin..."

Darkness looked at him with tears in her eyes. The noble lady, who thought she would be comforted, saw a smile on the man's face that, though seemingly kind, was, in her eyes, utterly devilish.

“Darkness, you seem to have forgotten something.”

"……Eh?"

"Your name, and your identity."

If she thinks she can get away with it this way, then she's just too naive.

Kobayashi smiled and said, "If you find it hard to express your feelings right now, I can do it for you. After all, I'm not some kind of demon."

"X-Xiao Lin..."

Those kind eyes concealed immense malice, transforming into numerous tentacles that bound her tightly, relentlessly eroding and toying with her body.

Lying face down on the ground, Darkness said unwillingly, "Gulp... kill me."

Gu Sha?

It's hard not to suspect that she did it on purpose.

Seeing her resistance, Kazuma Sato asked curiously, "Senior Kobayashi, I've been feeling something's off with Darkness lately. What happened to her?"

"Yes, Darkness, are you alright?"

Aqua even cast a healing spell on her, making Wiz, who didn't have time to dodge, feel so good she almost ascended to heaven.

Yes, physics has ascended to heaven.

Seeing her resistance, Xiaolin scolded, "Look, they're all worried. Hurry up and tell me."

"I-I know!"

Darkness closed her eyes as if resigned to her fate, then took a deep breath and said, word by word, "I am actually a noble lady."

After she finished speaking, she carefully observed the expressions on the faces of the team members.

Darkness kept her identity hidden because she was afraid of creating a barrier, a barrier due to the difference in their social status, and she didn't want to disrupt the harmonious atmosphere of the team.

But it seems this is the only way to go.

however--

Sato Kazuma first clicked his tongue in disgust, then sighed helplessly before bowing his head respectfully and saying, "Yes, I understand, Miss Darkness. What are your orders? Would you like a meal, a bath, or perhaps a little whip?"

This was a misunderstanding; Darkness was playing the aristocrat. Kind-hearted, he even pretended to be his companion's servant to satisfy his desire to be a pampered young lady.

But he couldn't hold back his last sentence, and it didn't sound very friendly.

Megumin became even more worried and asked with concern, "Darkness, are you sick too? Have you caught the same disease as Aqua, where you always feel like you're the goddess of water?"

"Wait, Megumin! What do you mean by that? She is the goddess of water, okay?!"

Aqua immediately started shouting.

But she received an even more sympathetic look from Megumin. Perhaps in her eyes, Aqua was just like herself, enjoying role-playing, but was so engrossed in it that she couldn't extricate herself.

Now, Darkness is the same.

Darkness knew they wouldn't believe her, so she said in a serious and deep voice, "Everyone, I really am a noble lady."

"Ah, yes, yes."

Kazuma Sato nodded perfunctorily.

Darkness grew anxious and said, "I am the daughter of the noble family known as the 'Kingdom's Sword'—the Dustinis family. My real name is Dustinis Ford Laratina!"

"You've even made up names? Also, you shouldn't borrow noble titles so easily; it would be best to make up another one."

The seasoned chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) sufferer, Megumin, felt her condition had worsened and offered her a better suggestion.

Murder and kill!

Purely a case of killing someone by destroying their spirit!

Darkness turned around and grabbed Kobayashi's shoulders with both hands, excited and confused, "What's going on? What's going on?! I feel ashamed of my real name, but why am I not believed? This feeling is completely different from anything I've experienced before!"

"It's probably because you don't look like a noble lady. Look, Aqua is the same."

Kobayashi used Aqua as an example.

The high priestess beside her was clearly a goddess, but she was not recognized by everyone because she was so stupid.

It's so miserable.

This example was naturally met with a loud protest from Aqua, who demanded that Kobayashi apologize to her.

But I don't have time to deal with her right now.

Kobayashi coughed lightly and said, "Everyone, what Darkness just said is true. She really is a noble lady."

"Hahaha, how could that be? Someone like Darkness, how could she possibly be a noble lady..."

Kazuma Sato waved his hand, not believing it at all. But when he saw Kobayashi's serious expression, which didn't seem like he was joking, he was completely taken aback.

"Really?"

"real."

……

...

"Eh————!!!" X3

After a brief silence, a startled scream erupted from a corner of the guild, momentarily drowning out the noise of the guild itself.

Chapter 185 You dare to extort money from me? You're asking for it!

After exclaiming in surprise, the team members quickly apologized to the disturbed adventurers, bowing and scraping before staring silently at the noble lady whose identity had just been revealed.

The atmosphere became slightly heavy.

Darkness unconsciously shifted his body, and said rather anxiously, "W-what's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that? Is there anything wrong with my clothes?"

She looked down and around.

Dressed in casual clothes, she revealed her perfect figure hidden beneath the heavy armor, which was slightly alluring.

This was evident from the adventurers who were secretly glancing at her.

However, this time it's positive.

Darkness, exuding charm and femininity, is indeed eye-catching.

As his gaze continued to sweep over her skin, the perverted knight shuddered, clinging tightly to Kobayashi's arm, his eyes filled with a mixture of confusion and excitement.

Xiaolin smiled without saying a word, offering no explanation.

Instead, it was Kazuma Sato who spoke first: "We're looking at a noble lady, because we've never seen one before."

"Varied……!"

Darkness was furious, feeling that he was implying something.

Aqua cheered excitedly, "Nobles! Nobles! And great nobles at that! Money, money beyond measure! I want to be a good-for-nothing, I want to be a shut-in!"

This guy doesn't look like a goddess at all.

Kazuma Sato scoffed, "Have you forgotten that Darkness is a devout Eris Crusader?"

"Ah! I forgot! That damned Eris, she actually tried to steal my followers!"
