I love time travel the most!

Amidst their bewildered expressions, the man grinned, his voice brimming with confidence and triumph, proclaiming, "I will become stronger! I will defeat him! I have no doubt about it! No matter how high the mountain, I will eventually climb it and cross it cleanly!"

At this moment, Kobayashi's soul shone brightly!

Chapter 219, Chapter 217: Can you perform that... you know, that...

While confidently boasting, Kobayashi secretly observed Hill and Anya's expressions, fearing that his declaration might be too forceful and offend them.

After all, to outsiders, anything a Level 1 adventurer says is just empty talk and has no credibility whatsoever.

But to his surprise, Anya clasped her hands together in front of her chest and looked at him with sparkling eyes like a little fangirl.

It has to be said that being looked at with adoration by a beautiful girl does give you a slightly euphoric feeling.

At this moment, Ryuu suddenly said, "Lord Kobayashi, I must remind you that it is completely impossible for you to defeat that pig-headed man who slew the one-armed demon (Goliath) with a single strike in your current state."

My own waiter's sharp tongue arrived late, but it did.

However, Kobayashi wasn't angry; instead, she thought to herself, "Beautiful!"

Ryuu's timing for assisting was perfect; she subtly reminded the goddess that her kin should provide her with more guidance.

"It's okay! I believe I can do it!"

Kobayashi was incredibly confident, with absolutely no thought that he couldn't do it. No, because he was certain he could do it.

This excited the two maids even more.

Anya jumped up and hugged Kobayashi's arm, her face beaming with a joyful smile, cheering him on: "I believe my brother can do it!"

“That’s right, if it’s Mr. Kobayashi…”

Hill couldn't help but lean closer and stare intently at Kobayashi, his silver-gray pupils revealing an undisguised divine quality.

"Yes, really? Thank you for your trust."

Xiaolin was so frightened that she took a step back.

The goddess of beauty exuded an overwhelming aura, making it impossible for me to get any closer to her. Moreover, the faint, sweet fragrance emanating from Hill was somewhat captivating to Kobayashi.

However, Hill did not notice anything amiss with his retreating action. Instead, he felt that he had been too rash and impulsive, making Kobayashi feel uncomfortable.

You can tell just by looking at her blushing cheeks.

"I'm so sorry, Mr. Kobayashi!"

“It’s okay, it’s okay…”

Both of them scratched their heads awkwardly, exchanged a glance, and then smiled knowingly.

Ah-le-le~~~

Anya, standing to the side, pouted her cat-like mouth, her eyes transforming into those of Detective Rabbit, with a strange, wicked smile on her face.

Seeing the strange smile on his companion's face, Hill couldn't help but shudder.

"Anya, your smile is strange."

"It's nothing, it's just that the atmosphere between you guys was really nice... or something."

"Ania!"

"Haha, just kidding, just kidding!"

An angry Hill couldn't resist tickling Anya, which made the lively and cute cat-eared girl burst into pleasant laughter.

The playful banter between the two pretty waitresses attracted the attention of most of the adventurers in the tavern.

There was also the dwarf tavern manager who had a smile on his face but looked extremely unhappy.

—Mia's mother.

She placed one hand on the counter, her eyes flashing with a dangerous light, and reprimanded in a deep voice, "Anya, Hill! You two, instead of fooling around there, why don't you come to the back and help out!"

"It's all over, it's Mia's mom!"

Anya was startled; her cat tail stood up abruptly, and she quickly walked away.

It seems that Mia's mother has a lot of influence.

after all……

A 1.8-meter-tall "little giant" and you're telling me he's a dwarf?!

"Hill!"

“Coming right now, Mommy Mia!” Hill called out, then, with obvious apology, stuck out her tongue and said to Kobayashi, “Sorry, Mommy Mia is calling me.”

She didn't seem afraid of Mia.

It wasn't just because Hill was the most popular waitress in the store, but also because her hidden identity forced Mia's mother, the former leader of the Freya Familia, to take her seriously.

Is that why they are so hostile towards us?

Mia's mother, a dwarf who was 1.8 meters tall, glared fiercely at Kobayashi at the counter. He was already considering whether he should take the opportunity to leave.

"Young man! Over here!"

Just then, from inside the tavern... or more precisely, from where the Loki Familia was located, came a lively and cheerful shout, just like Anya's.

It's Tiona, and only she is so unconventional.

Not only does he have connections with the two maids at the tavern, but he also has connections with the Loki Familia! Just who is this man?!

Suddenly, a commotion broke out in the tavern, because Kobayashi had done a series of surprising things.

Facing the direction of Kobayashi at the entrance, Finn, the hero sitting in the chair, couldn't help but sigh and rub his forehead.

It's all my fault for not stopping Tiona in time.

Kobayashi was already conspicuous enough, and now he's involved with them (the Loki Familia). I wonder if this will cause them trouble in the future.

She couldn't help but glare at Tione, as if blaming her for not keeping an eye on her sister.

However, this Amazonian sister took the scolding as a reward, her eyes filled with deep affection as she anticipated even more severe punishment.

Finn, the hero, couldn't help but sigh.

He quickly composed himself, stood up, and said to Kobayashi, "We meet again, Mr. Kobayashi. I wonder how you are doing?"

"I'm much better now. Thank you all for your timely help; otherwise, I would have been killed," Kobayashi said.

With just two sentences, their relationship was clearly explained.

The adventurers around them all looked on with sudden realization.

The Loki Familia has a good reputation and often helps weak adventurers who are alone in dungeons. I suppose this man (Kobayashi) is the same.

"If you don't mind, would you like to come over here?"

The hero Finn extended an invitation.

This was just a polite invitation, and it was also a celebration banquet for the clan itself, so Kobayashi naturally wouldn't be so tactless as to interfere.

"Do not……"

"What's the big deal? Just come here for a drink, nobody's going to mind!"

Before he could even speak, he was interrupted by someone else.

This man...

No, it's a woman.

Her long, orange-red hair was styled in a ponytail, and she always had a squinty eye with a mischievous smile that made it impossible to read her true thoughts. She wore a tight-fitting bodysuit that showed no curves.

Judging from her appearance alone, she was undoubtedly a man, but Kobayashi, who knew her true identity, naturally knew who she was.

"—Loki, the High God."

"Hey kid."

Kobayashi bowed slightly, showing obvious respect for the gods.

Even if the other party is unreliable and the biggest source of amusement in the labyrinth city, their divinity and wisdom accumulated over hundreds of millions of years are far beyond my reach.

"How about a drink?"

"...if Loki requests it."

Gods always act on impulse, and no one can guess what they are thinking, especially Loki, who loves to play pranks and cause trouble.

If Kobayashi had to choose between refusing the god's invitation and accepting it, he would rather choose the latter.

After all, the ripples it caused were much smaller.

As soon as he sat down, Xiaolin saw a fluffy object that was tied with a rope and hanging from the roof beam.

"Oh oh oh!!!"

Upon seeing Kobayashi, he let out a bloodcurdling scream.

Unfortunately, his mouth was gagged, so we couldn't understand a word he was saying. However, his body language showed that he was very welcoming of Kobayashi's arrival.

"this is……"

"Oh, don't worry about it, it's just a little fun."

Loki chuckled slyly.

Kobayashi didn't believe that tying the werewolf to it was for fun; he'd rather tell him it was for making dried meat.

It must be because the werewolf Bert, in his drunken state, said too many unreasonable and offensive things, which angered the members of his clan, that he was hung from the roof beam.

If you can't handle alcohol, then don't drink!

Don't you know you'll cause trouble for others?

For some reason, Kobayashi thought of a certain silly goddess who also had a bad temper when drunk and always caused him trouble.

"Come here, young man!"

Tiona handed him a glass of wine.

Kobayashi reached out and took it, then drank it down in one gulp under the expectant and testing gazes of everyone, receiving a cheer from the crowd.

"it is good!"
