I love time travel the most!

"Have you enjoyed working together?"

"Happy cooperation!"

After shaking hands with Bill and reaching a deal, Kobayashi suddenly relaxed, leaned back in his chair, and let out a long sigh.

"Ugh, I'm exhausted."

"……Eh?"

"A dedicated blacksmith? I never expected to get something like this, this is a huge win!"

"Aha?!"

The contrast was quite stark, and Bill blinked, puzzled.

The dull-witted tough guy was kind of funny.

"Actually, my original intention was to take the opportunity to ask for a free weapon, but I didn't expect to end up signing a blacksmith."

"So... I was scammed?"

"That's right, you've been scammed."

Kobayashi had a mischievous smile on his lips.

The trouble he had deliberately caused earlier was just a prelude to his own gain. He didn't expect Bill to act so unpredictably. But there's no reason not to accept a benefit that's offered up, so Kobayashi naturally couldn't let it go.

Bill smiled helplessly after learning the truth.

However, he wasn't too angry, partly because he had indeed made a mistake, and partly because he had achieved his goal.

It's a win-win situation.

"Then Xiaolin, you can just pick any weapon you like. Of course, it's free. Consider it a reward for saving Axel's newbie village."

"Oh, thank you so much."

Xiaolin did not refuse.

Not only Bill, but after the villagers learned that it was Kobayashi who saved the town, he would receive gifts from others every time he went out as a token of their gratitude, and Kobayashi did not refuse everyone's kindness.

This time is no exception.

When choosing a longsword, both the materials and the craftsmanship must be of the highest quality.

It must be said that Bill was indeed Axel's best blacksmith, without a doubt.

Aqua didn't make a mistake either.

"Oh, right, there's money too." Kobayashi took out a check from his pocket and handed it to him, saying, "Here, 5 million Eris."

"……Eh?"

Bill didn't take the check; instead, he paused for a moment, surprised.

Kobayashi was also taken aback for a moment.

"What's wrong? Is it because you didn't have enough money?"

"No, on the contrary, there are too many."

"Ok?"

"The total cost of materials is 3 million Eris, not 5 million Eris."

"........."

Kobayashi fell silent.

He thought the material cost was 5 million Eris, which is why he thought Bill was overcharging and that's why he came to cause trouble so arrogantly.

Surprisingly, the material costs weren't that high.

Then, he slowly turned his head and looked at the silly goddess who was tiptoeing away from the blacksmith shop.

"A, Ku, Ya!"

"I'm so sorry!!!"

Startled by being discovered, Aqua apologized loudly and ran away without looking back. Kobayashi immediately gave chase.

Sitting in his chair, Bill sighed, "It's so good to be young..."

Aqua's profession is High Priestess, and her speed and stamina are questionable; she was quickly caught by Kobayashi.

He rubbed her face hard, forcing her to tell him where she had spent the remaining debt.

"I bought some alcohol! I bought some sparkling wine!"

"What kind of wine is so expensive?!"

"It's an extremely rare, limited-edition premium sparkling wine!"

"Where's the wine?!"

"It's all gone."

What kind of wine costs 2 million Eris?! And he didn't even see the bottle; that stupid goddess drank it all. No wonder he's in a good mood.

But the money's already spent, and the drinks've already been consumed, so what else can be said?

He let out a deep sigh.

Kobayashi cupped the silly goddess's cheeks, his eyes devoid of affection, instead carrying a hint of threat, and asked, "You don't have any more debts outside, right?"

“…Eh?” Aqua blinked.

"I said! There are no more outstanding debts outside! Right!"

"There shouldn't be any more... right?"

Even with her face fixed in place, her eyes darted around, avoiding looking at Kobayashi.

"Aqua, why won't you look at me?"

"Uh, well... eh?"

"Hey, what the hell?!"

Aqua suddenly made a cute face, and Kobayashi was completely flustered.

Chapter 188 Jealous Huihui, Health Bar Vanishing Technique

A suburban mansion in Axel.

"S-Sato-kun...Are you...not done yet?"

"Don't move, it'll be ready soon."

"But...but I can't take it anymore...I want it now...!"

"wait wait wait!"

呲————

A mysterious sound rang out.

Amidst Sato Kazuma's frantic efforts and Kobayashi's blissful expression, a beautifully crafted garment was completely torn apart.

"Aaaaaah!!! My, my clothes!!!" Sato Kazuma clutched his head, collapsed to his knees, and wailed loudly. His desperate expression made it seem as if he had lost his King's Power.

Kobayashi tore off the tattered pieces hanging from her body. Instead of apologizing for ruining the clothes that Sato Kazuma had worked so hard to make over five days, she complained, "Seriously, didn't I say I can't wear clothes this small? It's fine to use me as a fitting model, but at least it should fit my body shape, right?"

"But, but..."

Kazuma Sato was on the verge of tears.

But there's no way to blame Xiaolin, because Xiaolin told him from the beginning that he couldn't wear it, and it was he who forced the other person to try it on.

As a result, he died after trying it.

The clothes I painstakingly made over five days fell apart after only a few minutes of wearing.

Just then, Aqua and Megumin returned.

"Kazuma?" Aqua asked curiously when she saw Kazuma Sato kneeling on the floor in the hall. "What's wrong with him? He looks like he bought some expensive sparkling wine but didn't get a sip before someone stole it all."

“Mmm. It’s like being caught just as you’re about to unleash an explosion spell.” Megumin chimed in.

Could these two be talking about their own tragic experiences?

With a helpless expression and a rude look in her eyes, she rebuked, "Don't assume everyone is like you, okay?"

"So? What happened to him?" Aqua asked.

"As you can see, the clothes are ruined." Kobayashi pointed to the scattered pieces on the ground and said, "Sato-kun insisted that I try on the clothes he made, but he overlooked the size issue, which caused them to fall apart as soon as I put them on."

After saying that, he picked up his own clothes, which were draped over the back of the sofa, and put them on.

Upon hearing the explanation, Huihui unconsciously took a step back. Her expression was grim as she recalled her previous ordeal.

"Oh, is that so?" After hearing the explanation, Aqua immediately lost interest and didn't even feel like comforting Kazuma Sato.

No, it's more accurate to say she was hoping for Sato Kazuma to suffer a setback so she could watch the spectacle unfold.

"Speaking of which..."

Kobayashi suddenly remembered that she had wanted to make a set of clothes before, the kind of clothes that wouldn't attract much attention in most parts of the world, regardless of the era.

He immediately told Sato Kazuma about his needs.

"Um……"

Kazuma Sato began to think.

Known as a fashion designer, this requirement shouldn't be difficult for him.

But to my surprise, Aqua became interested instead.

She ran over excitedly, threw herself into Xiaolin's arms, and volunteered, "Xiaolin, Xiaolin! Let me design clothes for you! I'm a goddess, my aesthetic sense and taste are clearly much better than this scumbag's! How about I design a dress that best represents the Axis Church for you!"

It's clear that Aqua has her own selfish motives.

She did have the idea of ​​making clothes for Kobayashi, but it's not hard to see her true purpose from the "clothes most representative of the Axis religion".

Of course, Kobayashi had no reason to refuse.
