I love time travel the most!

Huihui was a little agitated.

But when she saw the griffin with the same blank and confused expression in its eyes, she had to accept the fact that she had no room to maneuver again.

"Don't say that, Huihui."

"Xiao Lin!"

“You are our insurance, our last resort. If Liu Zi cannot defeat the griffin successfully, we will have no choice but to rely on your explosion magic. Moreover, your explosion magic was honed for defeating powerful monsters, right? Since the griffin was easily defeated, it can only prove that it is not worthy of your help.”

“Is that so…?”

"Yes, that's it!"

"Is that so... Hmph, Kobayashi is right! A mere griffin is nothing special, there's no need for my explosive magic at all! As expected, only the Demon King's army and its minions are worthy of my attention!"

Huihui tossed her cape and loudly declared in a pose that others would find cringeworthy, but which she herself thought was incredibly cool.

Seeing that the little girl had been fooled, Xiaolin secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, she's a problem child on par with Darkness and Aqua, and especially a little girl like Megumin, so you have to go along with what she says.

"Okay, let's go back!"

Kobayashi waved his hand and walked towards Axel, dragging the griffin by its tail.

They encountered many adventurers along the way, and when they saw the dead griffin, they looked at the four of them with shock and admiration.

Unlike the beginning when he dragged the giant toad and everyone avoided him like the plague, this look in his eyes is actually quite impressive.

Megumi and Kazuma Sato walked ahead with their chests out and an air of arrogance.

It's as if the two of them put in a lot of effort to defeat the griffin.

Even though Kobayashi didn't contribute anything, he just proudly dragged the griffin around like it was his trophy.

Luna was quite shocked when she arrived at the guild.

I didn't expect to accept the mission in the morning and complete it in the evening. This level of strength is comparable to that of the third-ranked swordsman in the kingdom!

"Please make sure our guild buys this griffin!"

"Of course, that's why we came here."

Luna shook her big bun up and down, and Kobayashi's hands also kept shaking up and down.

In short, after some haggling, all the griffins except for the hairs necessary for making the silk were sold.

Both parties were happy.

Then, the remaining hair is used to make silk thread.

Kobayashi originally intended to assign this task to Kazuma Sato, since he was a very competent tailor. However, Kazuma Sato declined, citing his lack of experience in this area.

Just as he was troubled by this, Kazuma Sato introduced him to a tailor.

That's right, it's that mohawk-haired tailor who often meets Kazuma Sato at the succubus shop. He always has this "I have a hidden past" expression, always says strange things in the tone of someone who's been there, and most importantly, he's always wearing overalls!

If it weren't for Kazuma Sato's assurance, Kobayashi really wouldn't have wanted the other party to accept this commission.

But to his utter surprise, that guy gave him a little surprise!

Chapter 203 What to do if I accidentally attacked the Kingdom's Prosecutor?

Luxury mansion in the suburbs of Axel.

This is the base of the adventurer team that's been making waves lately. Not long ago, they successfully defeated the powerful magical griffon, and their fame has spread throughout the entire starting village.

Meanwhile, in the mansion's hall, several people were sitting at a table. Some had their eyes closed in rest, some were extremely nervous, and others were lost in thought.

This was all because there was a piece of equipment on the table in front of them—gloves.

These gloves were unremarkable in appearance and did not match the clothes that Kazuma Sato had made for Kobayashi. Moreover, they felt a bit heavy when worn, like extra-thick gloves.

The mohawk-haired man sewing gloves for Kobayashi had his arms crossed and his eyes closed, seemingly oblivious to whether Kobayashi liked what he was making.

Kazuma Sato looked at Kobayashi nervously, afraid that he would be unhappy.

As for Megumin, the chuunibyou little loli who has no interest in anything other than explosion magic is currently lost in thought.

"W-How is it, Kobayashi-senpai?" Sato Kazuma's throat bobbed, his tongue tied in knots, as nervous as a little boy visiting a succubus shop for the first time.

Kobayashi chuckled and said, "You didn't sew these gloves, did you? Why are you so nervous?"

"Because I recommended the tailor! If Kobayashi-senpai isn't satisfied, my allowance...! Cough, no... I mean, wouldn't that be a waste of the expensive materials we painstakingly hunted down from the griffin?!"

Kazuma Sato initially refused to accept pocket money and insisted on earning it himself, but later, because he was given too much, he chose to give up.

Therefore, he was very afraid that Xiaolin would cut off his considerable allowance in a fit of anger.

"Slaying the griffin is something anyone can do, right? Besides, back then, that idiot Kazuma was just cheering and being a spectator, yet he dares to criticize us?" Megumin pouted, scoffing at Kazuma Sato's shameless attempt to take credit for himself.

Kazuma Sato blushed and retorted, "What did you say?! Megumin, didn't you do anything too?!"

"Don't compare me to you! A mere griffin like that can be easily blasted into the sky with my explosion magic!"

"Then the griffins will be reduced to ashes, and you won't be able to obtain any materials. What's the point of hunting down griffins then?"

The two argued endlessly about the extent of their contributions in the griffin extermination campaign.

But in Xiaolin's eyes, they were both scoundrels.

Incidentally, so was he.

"You two, stop arguing pointlessly. You'll only make yourselves a laughingstock." As the team leader, Xiao Lin naturally couldn't let them argue in front of outsiders. He coughed lightly and said to the composed mohawk-haired man, "Sorry, you're making a fool of yourselves."

Then--

He put on his gloves and moved around a bit.

It is indeed a bit heavy, and the feeling of holding the sword will be slightly different, but he is not a pure swordsman, so the right equipment is the key.

After a quick test, he nodded in satisfaction and sincerely praised, "Great! These gloves are really excellent!"

Sato Kazuma breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.

He remembered that Senior Kobayashi was known for his strange tastes in equipment. Whether it suited his aesthetic sense or was bizarrely shaped didn't matter; as long as it worked, it was perfectly fine.

"These gloves are beyond my expectations."

"Not yet," Kobayashi continued in a very professional tone, "I guess it's made of two materials. The right hand is slightly stiff and very resilient, probably the thickest part of the griffin's chest; as for the left hand... it feels soft and a bit greasy, and most importantly, it has an unnaturally sweet smell, so it's probably spider silk, and silk produced by a powerful magical beast with strength comparable to the griffin. Am I right?"

"You know a lot, buddy."

Mohawk-haired man slightly opened his eyes, a smile returning to his face, as if he appreciated Kobayashi's praise.

It feels great to receive praise from users for the equipment you made, and it feels even better to receive praise from users who know their stuff.

He was clearly excited.

"By the way, buddy, you're using your right hand, right?"

"Yes, the right hand is the dominant hand."

"That's no problem!"

As if a switch had been flipped, she said to Kobayashi with a smug expression, "I am the best tailor in Axel! I wouldn't have helped if it weren't for the favor I owed to Kazuma. Back then at the succubus shop, if I hadn't been detained for not having enough money... cough cough, let's not talk about that. As for the gloves, since I chose to help, I had to do my best, so I used the spider silk I had been treasuring for a long time."

"So it really is spider silk? May I ask, what kind of spider monster's silk is it?"

"What it is is no longer important. All we can say is that the Mobile Fortress Destroyer was built based on it."

"Hiss—" X3

Kobayashi and the others gasped in shock.

If the mohawk-haired man wasn't exaggerating, then the spider he described was definitely a terrifying monster.

Because they had fought against the Mobile Fortress Destroyer, they were deeply impressed by its powerful mobility and strength.

...Wait a minute, something's not right!

Did the Mobile Fortress Destroyer ever use anything like spider silk? Isn't it just lasers that shoot out of its body?

Xiaolin looked on with a suspicious expression.

The mohawk-haired man said without any embarrassment, "That spider-like monster has a very tough body and is incredibly agile. It's a very troublesome monster!"

understood.

The fact that spider silk wasn't mentioned means it's not powerful.

"Compared to a griffin's fur, it certainly lacks resilience, but the most important thing about a spider is its venom. It's a neurotoxin capable of killing a dragon, so don't underestimate it!"

Without even thinking, it's obvious that this is an exaggeration.

Just listen to it.

Kobayashi curled his lip. If it could really poison even dragons to death, how could it possibly be made into gloves? You couldn't even touch them.

I couldn't help but examine the gloves on his hands again. Apart from being a little out of place with his gorgeous clothes, they were generally acceptable. On the other hand, the fact that Kobayashi was wearing gloves that didn't match his clothes also suggests that the gloves were unusual.

"These gloves start from the fingertips, and the threads shooting out from those fingertips can extend for thousands of meters! But even so, unfortunately, they are still consumables." The mohawk-haired man couldn't help but sigh, seemingly very dissatisfied with the gloves he had made, but Kobayashi always felt like he was in Versailles.

"It's already very good, I'm very satisfied."

"Really?"

"real."

To satisfy the mohawk-haired man's vanity, Kobayashi also pretended to comfort him.

From the beginning, Kobayashi had no expectations for the gloves; he just wanted a temporary weapon.

No matter what they do, it's just an ordinary weapon. How could it possibly be as powerful as the divine weapon created by Hephaestus, the god of forging in DanMachi?

I just didn't expect that the gloves they made would be so useful.

As for why Aqua wasn't allowed to make the gloves, please refer to that exaggerated goddess haori that is unbreakable, uncut, and has a magic-suppressing effect.

Kobayashi admitted that the silk thread made from that haori was very strong and could not be broken by anything.

However, in combat, this is relative.

If the other person's body is very resilient, like Darkness, then he could tie the silk threads around them and shout, "Haha, I caught you!", and the other person could shout back, "Haha, I caught you!" Then, because he couldn't cut the silk threads, he wouldn't be able to break free and would instead be pulled closer...

The scene was so beautiful that he dared not think about it.
