I love time travel the most!

Actually, he really liked Kazuma Sato's clothes, and there shouldn't be any room for improvement based on his requirements, so Aqua's statement just felt like she was being stubborn.

However, Kobayashi still held a sliver of hope.

"Look! The clothes I made!"

Then she took out a ribbon from behind her back.

“…” X3

The remaining three remained silent.

Kazuma Sato looked puzzled and asked uncertainly, "Senior Kobayashi, aren't we comparing fashion design? We're comparing whose clothes look better, right?"

"That's right." Kobayashi was also confused.

Aqua confidently explained, "You see, just like I said before, what's the most important thing in designing this outfit? It's a strong personal attribute! And what's my most iconic feature—the goddess of water? That's right, it's the goddess ribbon! So, I created this ribbon that's on par with a divine artifact!"

...I can't understand her thought process at all.

Sato Kazuma, his eyes red with anger, retorted furiously, "We're competing on clothes! It's a complete outfit! Why just a ribbon?! And a women's ribbon at that! You idiot, are you deliberately trying to cause trouble?!"

He couldn't help but wonder what all his efforts of the past seven days had been for, and why he was arguing with an idiot.

Aqua exclaimed, "Wait, wait! Since it's clothing, this ribbon is perfectly fine too! Don't let its appearance fool you, it's a divine artifact! Something on par with divine artifacts!"

"Forget it, there's nothing more to say to you." Sato Kazuma waved his hand as if he had lost interest. Having already stayed up for seven nights in a row, he didn't want to waste his energy arguing with that idiot goddess.

"Wait, let me finish!"

Aqua was still clamoring, but to others she was just going through the motions, and her outfits were nothing compared to the exquisite ones that Kazuma Sato had brought out.

And even if it is clothing, it is just an accessory.

We can't just leave Kobayashi naked, wearing only this ribbon, can we? If other people see her, she'll definitely be arrested as a pervert.

So naturally, Kazuma Sato won this match.

Chapter 191 The Fourth Time Travel

That day, Kobayashi came to Wiz's magic tool shop again. To be precise, he was summoned by Wiz.

Jingle Bell--

The wind chimes rang out with a clear and melodious sound.

Just as he stepped into the shop with his left foot, Wiz rushed out from behind the counter, his bouncing foot making a 'duang' 'duang' sound that immediately caught his eye.

A few seconds later, Wiz clung to his arm, sobbing. The soft, cool touch flooded her mind, but she quickly suppressed it. The pitiful look on the timid lich girl's face was truly heartbreaking.

"Mr. Xiaolin!"

"Wiz, what's wrong? Why did you rush to find me? Did something happen?"

"Aqua, Lady Aqua..."

"Aqua?"

Just as Kobayashi was confused, Aqua burst out of the room, kicking open the door and yelling furiously, "Where are you, you damned lich! Get out here right now!"

"Eh, eh—!"

Viz shrank into Kobayashi's arms in fear, hiding her face and not daring to look at Aqua.

It's obvious without even thinking that the stupid goddess must have bullied the weak lich again.

"A, Ku, Ya!"

"X-Xiao Lin?"

Upon looking up and seeing Kobayashi's unfriendly expression, Aqua immediately stopped in her tracks, not daring to approach.

"Tell me, what happened?"

"This, this..."

Aqua's eyes darted around.

Sigh.

Looking down at the trembling, timid lich, he said, "Wiz, did Aqua bully you? If she did, I'll definitely teach her a lesson."

Compared to a goddess who loves to lie and defend herself, the lich is clearly more trustworthy.

"Mr. Xiaolin..."

Wiz's expression clouded over slightly. Her face was full of hesitation, as if she didn't know whether she should tell Kobayashi something.

"What's wrong? If there's anything bothering you, just tell me. Don't be afraid, I'll take care of it for you. Has the business declined again recently?"

"No, not that one!"

Upon hearing him say that, Wiz quickly waved his hand in denial.

Then, looking troubled, she stammered, "Well, when we intercepted the Destroyer, Mr. Kobayashi helped me advertise, which boosted my sales a lot, and I'm really grateful! It has nothing to do with that, but... it's about Lady Aqua..."

Is that really the case?

Kobayashi also looked troubled.

He had deliberately excluded Aqua just now to leave a sliver of hope, but it turned out to be her again.

You shouldn't have believed that stupid goddess.

"Hey! You damned lich, what did you say?!" Aqua shouted angrily, then complained to Kobayashi, "She's slandering me! She's slandering me!"

Although she looked furious, she was clearly threatening the timid Wiz.

I couldn't help but take a step forward.

He slapped the back of Aqua's head with a chop to shut her up, and the silly goddess immediately started crying and rolling on the ground, clutching her head.

Ignore this foolish goddess.

Then Kobayashi turned to Wiz and asked, "What's wrong with this guy? Is it because she keeps showing up here, and it's bothering you? If you're afraid of him, I'll tell him to try to stay away from here."

Despite her appearance, Aqua is still a goddess in a way. As an undead, this must have made Wiz quite uneasy.

"...No, no, it's not like that... It's fine if Lady Aqua comes, but every time she comes here she approaches the customers and says that all the products here are made by that female owner through some unspeakable manufacturing methods, so it's better not to buy them... or something like that."

"Aqua, what exactly is going on?"

Xiaolin lowered his voice and pressed for an answer.

Upon hearing this, Aqua, who was holding her head, trembled on the floor.

It seems she did indeed do that.

"No, it's alright! There's no need to pursue this matter any further!" Wiz, with her magnanimous heart, generously forgave Aqua and said curiously, "I don't know why, but strangely enough, afterwards, items like holy water in my shop unexpectedly caused a buying frenzy among male adventurers, so this matter..."

Is it really that good that it's selling so well?

It must be Aqua's innate holy attribute that elevates the quality of the holy water by several levels.

But then again, is it really okay for a lich to sell holy water? Won't he accidentally purify himself?

Moreover, in every sense, are the adventurers in this town really alright?

"But isn't this a good thing?" Kobayashi asked rhetorically.

Upon hearing this, Wiz hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, no, no, more importantly... Lady Aqua touches all the merchandise in my shop, so all the potions used for sorcery and the secret elixirs used in necromancy have been purified. There are just too many items that have to be scrapped..."

"What's going on here, you idiot goddess!"

It seems that she comes to Wiz's shop to cause trouble whenever she doesn't know it.

He must be too bored, you idiot!

Kobayashi lifted Aqua up, pressed her head down, and apologized to Wiz: "Sorry, Wiz! I'll make up for the damaged goods with this guy's allowance!"

"Wait a minute, Kobayashi!"

"Hey, Aqua, you should apologize to me properly too!"

"I do not want!"

Aqua stubbornly raised her head and shouted her fallacious argument: "Why should a goddess bow down to a lich! Besides, water is purified when it touches my body because of the sacred aura that nature emanates from me, which is something that can't be helped! Just like plants photosynthesize when they come into contact with sunlight, I am automatically purified whenever I come into contact with water! I really can't control this!"

No, ultimately you shouldn't have touched the merchandise.

But the stupid goddess's head just wouldn't budge. It seems that not bowing down to the lich is her bottom line, and her provocation is most likely due to her instinctive disgust.

no way.

Kobayashi had no choice but to bow deeply to Wiz on behalf of Aqua, who refused to bow even in the face of death.

At the same time, I couldn't help but think to myself:

I feel like lately, because of her, I've been forced to bow down to a lot of people.

"Please, please lift your head!" Wiz rushed forward to help Kobayashi up, pleading, "It's alright, it's all in the past! I just hope she can try not to purify any more products in the future...! I've already troubled Lady Aqua with so many things, like going to the cemetery to help lost souls ascend to heaven, and purifying other houses plagued by evil spirits...!"

As he spoke, Wiz quickly lowered his head.

Hearing Wiz's frank words, Aqua, the culprit who had recently caused a disturbance among the evil spirits of many mansions because she was lazy while purifying the cemetery, also awkwardly looked away.

Back at the mansion.

"Listen up, Aqua! You're not allowed to cause trouble at Wiz's magic item shop again!"

"I didn't cause any trouble!"

"Ok?"

"...I...I understand!"

Aqua pursed her lips, it was unclear whether she had even heard a word she said.

Seriously, has this stupid goddess forgotten that she promised to protect Wiz? Or does this yakuza goddess have a wicked nature and just enjoy bullying her underlings?

Honestly, you two should just switch professions.

Kobayashi sighed deeply.

Apologizing to Wiz and listening to her complaints was just a microcosm of the day.

Yesterday, he was forced to apologize, compensate, and repair a farm because Huihui blew it up. The day before yesterday, Sato Kazuma used an expired free invitation ticket to make him redeem someone.
