I love time travel the most!

Seemingly sensing her doubt, Ryuuji whispered sarcastically, "If Lady Kobayashi hadn't been unconscious, I could have used all my strength to stop her, but..."

He tightened his grip on Xiaolin's arms slightly.

As Kobayashi's servant, Ryuu is a programmed automaton whose sole purpose is to protect his safety.

When Kobayashi was unconscious and in a dangerous state, she naturally wouldn't leave his side for even a moment.

Having figured it out, Kobayashi smiled slightly and touched her little face, saying, "No, I'm not blaming you. Besides, it was because I got carried away. Ryuu didn't do anything wrong."

"That's right, it's all Lord Kobayashi's fault."

Liu Zi decisively shifted the blame onto Xiao Lin, leaving her master, who wanted to comfort her and win her favor, speechless for a moment.

Forget it, he's long been immune to that level of sharp tongue.

Kobayashi sat up, looked around at the ruins, and asked, "What's the situation now? Have all the monsters been eliminated? Are there any casualties?"

"The monsters have all been eliminated. Although there were no dead, there were many injured. Most people can no longer be adventurers. Overall, the situation is not optimistic."

The hero Finn showed a sorrowful expression.

Dungeons are always dangerous areas. Not everyone can escape danger like the protagonist. Many times, you can easily find yourself in a dangerous situation, and even a level 6 adventurer can be in mortal danger.

This unrest in the safe zone resulted in the deaths of many unsuspecting adventurers, and it remains to be seen whether the Loki Familia, which failed to handle the situation properly, will be implicated.

Fortunately, Loki's family was in control, and no one died in the riot.

"Yeah."

Kobayashi sighed.

What could an adventurer like him do? At most, he could only heal their wounds.

He then shared his thoughts with the hero Finn, who was slightly surprised but had no reason to refuse.

"Being able to get treatment is a huge help."

He let out a soft breath.

This is the 18th floor; treatment options are limited.

Imagine how many adventurers could be saved by someone who can use healing magic.

As for Kobayashi's ability to heal, he had already heard about it from the Amazon sisters on the night of the Monster Festival.

"Speaking of which..."

"Where are Miss Ais and Miss Riveria?"

There are quite a few Loki Familia members here, but the key figures, Sword Maiden Ais and 'Mama' Riveria, are still missing.

Upon hearing Xiaolin's question, everyone poured out their grievances.

"Miss Ais is cultivating on the lower level."

"Because Ais lost."

"The opponent is quite strong too."

"That's it."

Listening to their cacophony of answers, Xiaolin understood why.

It's undeniable that the female monster is very strong, but to lose just once and still be so proud is just too much.

Unfortunately, no one can offer advice on this kind of thing; you either have to rebuild your confidence from the setback or continue to sink into despair.

Of course, given Fiora's talent, she would ultimately be the former, otherwise she wouldn't have stayed in the lower level.

With the mediation of the Loki Familia and the help of healing magic, gathering the wounded from the entire safe zone went smoothly, as everyone wanted to heal their injuries as quickly as possible.

Before long, the wounded were treated.

Kobayashi, who was thanked by many adventurers, thus earned the title of "Healer".

It's fortunate that he chose the magic talent at LV2, otherwise he might not have been able to persevere to the end.

"Well, that's about it."

Once the entire safe zone was rescued, the hero Finn was ready to retreat.

Due to the commotion on the 18th floor, food and medicine were running low, and he also wanted to return to Loki as soon as possible to report. The changes in the dungeon were so drastic that he couldn't afford to delay.

After exchanging glances with his companions, he shouted, "You guys, get ready, it's time to retreat."

"Roger that!"

"understand!"

"it is good!"

The Loki clan responded enthusiastically.

Kobayashi raised his hand and said, "I'll leave. I need to clean up the mess here for now. There are still injured people who haven't been rescued. It's not time to leave yet."

"okay, I get it."

The hero Finn left with his clan members.

During Xiaolin's treatment, Borus sent a lot of medicine, and with the idea that he might as well take it, he pocketed all of it.

Exchanging or selling with others brings in a considerable income, which can be considered as compensation for his hard work.

It wasn't until daylight returned on the 18th floor that Kobayashi finished treating the wounded, and at that moment, Sword Princess Ais and Nine Demon Princess Riveria returned from the lower floor.

The two of them were in a rather disheveled state.

No, upon closer inspection, although the Sword Maiden Ais's attire was tattered, her aura was even stronger than before. Kobayashi keenly sensed that she must have defeated a powerful enemy and broken through her inner barrier.

Are you already at LV6?

Kobayashi clutched his head, crying out in distress, "Ahhh, what a pity, I didn't get to see that scene."

Because of his [clumsy imitation] ability, he could have secretly learned Fiora's techniques. However, he didn't expect to be delayed and miss his chance to go down.

Seeing him like this, Sword Maiden Ais asked curiously, "Kobayashi, you're awake. Is something bothering you?"

"No, on the contrary, Miss Ais, are you alright?" Kobayashi extended his right hand towards her, and at the same time, light shone from his palm, as healing magic took effect.

A moment later, apart from her irreparable equipment, Ais had recovered completely.

"That's truly an amazing ability."

Riveria stared intently at Kobayashi's hands.

She already knew from the Amazon sisters that Kobayashi possessed healing magic, but she was still amazed when she saw it with her own eyes.

Because it reminded her of a woman.

—Amid.

Amid Theasanare is a member of the Deancat Familia and is acquainted with Ais and others. Her magic, [Dia Frattel], is a high-level healing magic. It possesses the properties of healing wounds, restoring stamina, dispelling toxins, and removing curses. Furthermore, she can use the "healing," "detoxification," and "curse removal" effects separately, and can affect multiple people with a continuous effect, making her an exceptionally overpowered woman.

"Thank you, Kobayashi."

"You're welcome, consider it a reward for leveling up."

"……Eh?"

"What? You haven't noticed yet?"

Seeing her blank and confused expression, it was clear that Sword Maiden Ais had not yet realized that she had achieved enough great feats.

Kobayashi smiled at her and said, "Congratulations, Miss Ais, you've reached LV6."

"really?"

"real."

"……Great."

Sword Maiden Ais gave a faint smile... no, not at all. Her brows were still slightly furrowed, as if she had something on her mind.

Very strange.

According to what Kobayashi learned from the Amazon sisters, Sword Maiden Ais should have a strong obsession with advancing to LV6. Now that she has broken through the limit and achieved the long-awaited state, why is she still so anxious about gaining and losing?

Kobayashi cast a questioning look at Riveria, while Riveria, who was temporarily acting as the 'madam', gently shook her head.

understood.

Perhaps they don't quite grasp the reality yet, or maybe they feel that even if they level up to LV6, they still can't defeat that female monster, which is why they act this way.

"Then let's keep getting stronger."

"……Um?"

“If you can’t defeat her at LV6, then become LV7, or even LV8 or LV9. That way, Miss Ais will be able to defeat her. Although there’s only one LV7 in the Labyrinth City right now, it doesn’t mean there aren’t any. Don’t worry, you will become a strong person and reach a level that no one can reach, Miss Ais. I believe in you, and your companions believe in you too.”

He's a master at giving inspirational quotes!

Whether it's inspiring words or the Axis teachings of giving up and shifting blame, Kobayashi is exceptionally adept at dealing with lost little girls, making him a veritable spiritual mentor!

Fiora remained silent for a long time.

Finally, she bowed slightly to Kobayashi and said, "Thank you."

"You're welcome."

Kobayashi responded with a smile once again.

Brief, but exceptionally sincere.

Standing behind Sword Princess Ais, Nine-Headed Demon Princess Riveria also cast a grateful glance. This elven royal, who acted as a mother figure in her familia, had always been an exceptional headache for Ais. She couldn't bear to see the princess, to whom she had poured so much heart and soul, fall into despair.

Kobayashi's appearance helped Fiora break through the barrier and emerge from her confusion.

"By the way, Miss Ais and Miss Riveria, are you going to rest and regroup here, or are you planning to go back now? If possible, why don't we travel together?" Kobayashi asked for their opinions.

Riveria looked at the swordswoman beside her and asked, "Ais, how are you feeling? Do you want to rest?"

“No, no problem.” Fiora Ais shook her head.

Kobayashi's healing magic is very strong. She had some minor wounds on her body, which, although inconspicuous, still affected her movement to some extent, since she had just fought the floor master of the 37th floor. But now, she can move freely again.

"In that case, let's do it together."

"Ah."
