I love time travel the most!

Since that's the case, Kobayashi doesn't intend to interfere or disrupt the other party's plans.

After all, he and Sword Maiden Ais were outsiders, and should be the main members of the Hermes Familia.

But is it really possible?

Most of the members here are only LV2, and even the leader, Asifi, is only LV4. With the current setup, is it really possible to conduct an investigation?

Investigating just the 23rd floor is already quite difficult; what if we need to go to the 30th floor...?

"What's wrong, Kobayashi?"

"It's nothing. I just feel so good to have Miss Ais around."

Because of her great strength, even when facing a powerful enemy, she can buy time, giving the Hermes Familia a chance to escape.

Otherwise, he simply couldn't take care of so many people on his own.

Looking up, I noticed that the Sword Maiden Ais's cheeks were slightly flushed. It's rare to see such a naturally naive girl showing shyness.

"Miss Ais, what's wrong?"

"No, it's okay."

He answered with a slight stutter, turning his head away, not daring to look at Xiaolin.

I always feel like she misunderstood something.

Just then, Ryuko appeared beside her and said sarcastically, "Lord Kobayashi, I didn't expect you to have gone so far as to deceive innocent young girls? Although you have a history of deceiving Lady Aqua before, deceiving pure young girls is nothing short of despicable."

"what?"

"Ok?"

"Uh."

This statement surprised Ais, alerted Aphrodite, left Lulune speechless, and even provoked hostility from the female members of the Hermes Familia. Wait, why are the male members looking at her with such adoration?

It's a misunderstanding, a complete misunderstanding!

Liu Zi's sharp tongue is incredibly powerful, especially since she also has a blank expression, which makes her even more persuasive.

"Miss Liu Zi."

"Yes?"

"First of all, I have never lied to a naive girl. Secondly, Aqua is not stupid, and I have never lied to her either. I have kept all my promises. Finally, opening up to a comrade who will fight alongside me in the future is by no means a scumbag act!"

"I'm sorry, Lord Kobayashi, it seems I misunderstood."

The expressionless apology seemed insincere, just as Kobayashi's words had been utterly unconvincing.

Honestly, I clearly didn't mean it that way.

Kobayashi sighed, rubbing his forehead.

However, what he didn't notice was that the Sword Maiden Ais was staring at him, lost in thought.

"Enough of the small talk."

Aphrodite got everyone into the zone with just one sentence; that's how a qualified adventurer should be.

"Alright, it's time to go. Are you ready?"

"Yes!" xN

"Then, let's decide on the advance team."

Under Aphrodite's well-organized arrangements, everyone quickly rushed down into the underground city with clear division of labor.

Chapter 242 Wandering Dragon

In the plaza of Loki's estate, Loki is talking to Dionysus.

In fact, Loki had long wanted to withdraw and had made it clear, but the god Dionysus kept bothering him, even deliberately using the exchange of information to entangle him, so Loki was quite suspicious of him.

"Ha, so the monster is wandering around the 24th floor, right? And then, Dionysus, what do you want us to do?"

Loki showed no sign of suspicion and continued to act as if he knew nothing and was completely nonchalant in his interactions with the other party.

The purpose, of course, is to guess the other party's intentions.

Dionysus smiled gently and replied, "I didn't ask you to do anything. As your companion in facing that incident together, I'm just here to report."

Tsk, that's the attitude.

He didn't ask for much or have much contact with her, but he insisted on getting close to her, and with this mystical attitude. Who else would I suspect if not him?

Loki made no attempt to hide his disgust.

That's just her personality.

I never hide things I don't like.

Seeing this, Dionysus said with a slightly serious expression, "Don't you find it strange? It has already affected the adventurers, but the guild has not taken any action. It feels like they are hiding something."

"Perhaps. Although I am also very curious, I don't have the time to find out the truth."

Loki, who had already decided to withdraw, really didn't want to watch them sling mud at each other. Especially since they were trying to drag him into it, he was even more reluctant to get involved.

Dionysus wasn't angry that she wasn't following his plan, but instead continued to tempt her, saying, "I know you're resisting, but is it really okay?"

"Um……"

Loki remained silent for a moment.

She did want to distance herself, but Riveria said it was impossible because of her own Sword Maiden; to remain uninvolved would require completely ignoring her.

Ignoring the most promising children?

Don't be kidding, how is that possible!

Just as Loki was pondering what to do, the shouts of his own Thousand Spirits came from afar.

"Loki————"

"What's wrong, Rafia?"

"Miss Ais wrote to say that she suddenly received a mission to go to the 24th floor."

"what?!"

Loki was taken aback.

We were just talking about the 24th floor, and I was wondering how to keep my own Fiora from getting involved, but before I knew it, she was already there on her own.

How dare she? !

He snatched the letter; it was indeed Ais's handwriting. He was completely devastated.

"What do you mean you don't need to worry about me because I'm with Kobayashi? You idiot Ais! Lefia, go and call Bert over here! That guy dared to kidnap my princess, you're doomed!"

Loki looked vicious, as if he wanted to devour someone.

the other side.

Xiaolin felt a chill run through her body and couldn't help but tremble, sensing that something bad was about to happen.

"Speaking of which, Miss Ais, have you already reported to Loki that you took on the mission on your own?"

"Yes, I wrote a letter. I even said I'd be with you, Kobayashi."

Ok? ? ?

Xiaolin has a confused look on his face.

How strange, why is my name appearing?

Seemingly sensing his confusion, the airheaded swordswoman Ais explained matter-of-factly, "So as not to worry them."

No, no, no, doing that will only make them worry.

Could it be that he mistakenly believes he's abducted his princess and has gathered his strongest forces to search for her in the dungeon, determined to give him a good beating...?

Impossible, absolutely impossible!

Unwilling to face reality, Kobayashi shook his head frantically, trying to shake off this unrealistic idea.

They are now heading to the 23rd floor. Because Kobayashi and Sword Princess are very strong, they, along with Asphie, Lulune, and a few other members of the Hermes Familia, formed an advance team to scout the lower floor ahead of time.

"But it's really incredible."

"what?"

“Even though we are from different clans, we still have the opportunity to act together with the Sword Princess and Mr. Kobayashi... It makes me feel very at ease.”

Lulune puts her hands together in a prayer-like gesture.

In fact, she did have the idea of ​​escaping, after all, the mission she was doing with the two big shots was bound to be extremely dangerous.

However, having powerful and capable people around also provides a strong sense of security.

My thoughts are similar to Xiaolin's.

Sword Maiden Ais didn't understand the meaning behind it, but simply nodded slightly, and asked in confusion, "Speaking of which, why are you wearing a robe in town?"

"Ah, that," Lulune said mysteriously, "There are some things that can't be known, right? If everyone's true rank and the floor they've reached are exposed..."

"Lulune!"

"what!"

Reprimanded by her own clan leader, Asifi, Lulune swallowed the rest of her words as if she were a chick being choked.

"Seriously, don't you have any learning ability?"

"Oops, I accidentally let it slip. Sorry. Fiora, please pretend you didn't hear what happened earlier."

Lulune readily admitted her mistake.

Just as Kobayashi thought, this stupid dog-man is not only greedy but also very loose-lipped. Most importantly, he has no intention of correcting himself and will be implicated one day.

However, it's understandable that Asphie would be so nervous, since she has concealed her social class.

She is currently LV4, but under the instruction of the god Hermes, she is publicly revealed to be LV2. However, her familia does not often stay in the labyrinth city, so the requirement to publicly disclose the familia's rank does not apply to them, which creates room for conflict.

But if it's exposed, it'll be troublesome, and it could easily turn into a situation where "Miss, you don't want your hidden class to be discovered, do you?"
