I love time travel the most!

"After taking down that sick man... his name was [White-Haired Ghost], I think? Whatever, anyway, the werewolf Bert, the Thousand Fairy Lefia, and the White Witch Philvis arrived, forcing that female monster to retreat. After she took the monster orb, the main pillar of the food warehouse collapsed, and we had no choice but to retreat as well. That's the whole story of our events on the 24th floor."

Kobayashi is reporting the details of this mission to the Sky God.

Just as he said.

The three Loki sent arrived because of the destruction caused by Kobayashi's ultimate move, and Fiora Ais also came to join them through the broken hole.

Faced with the overwhelming force of the adventurers, the red-haired female monster wisely chose to retreat.

"Olivas the White-Haired Demon, formerly a Level 3 adventurer, he was originally..."

"Ahhh, I can't hear you, I can't hear you."

Kobayashi covered her ears, forcefully interrupting the Sky God's explanation, indicating that she didn't want to listen.

It wasn't that he was being unreasonable, but rather that once he knew more, he would inevitably be drawn into an even more troublesome vortex.

He just wanted to quietly grind monsters and level up, and he didn't want to get involved in anything troublesome.

"However, the strange woman said a few very strange things when she left."

"What did you say?"

"She sent the swordswoman Ais to the 59th floor, saying that all the answers were there, and so on."

When the main pillar of the grain storehouse collapsed, the female monster extended an invitation to Ais. Anyone could tell it was a trap, but the Loki Familia couldn't possibly refuse.

Whether for the upcoming expedition or for their most promising princess, they had to make the trip.

So, in this way...

"Wouldn't I then have to go to the 59th floor?"

Kobayashi, looking dejected, complained loudly to the sky god on the platform. But after waiting for a long time, the god above remained expressionless, showing no reaction to his only follower's lament.

Tsk.

He secretly pursed his lips. It seemed impossible to get any benefits from the opposing side. The High God was really too stingy. No wonder no one joined the clan!

I don't think the Sky God is refusing to establish clans to maintain neutrality; rather, he's just too stingy, which is why no one joins him.

Those scoundrels who didn't get any benefits kept slandering him in secret.

"Call me when the Loki Familia goes on its expedition. Until then, I won't accept any requests, no matter what! That's all, goodbye!"

Without giving the other person a chance to speak, Kobayashi turned and ran.

joke!

Who would want to work for free?

For the sake of the 2 million Fares, he reluctantly went to walk around the dangerous 24th floor. If he were asked to go to the 30th or 40th floor, he would really quit and choose to pay back the money.

After Kobayashi left, the spot where he was standing suddenly twisted, and a figure in a black robe tore off the 'cloth' draped over his body.

"Fels".

The god of the sky called out his name.

This person had been standing there the whole time, and even Kobayashi, who possessed [Perception] and [All-Seeing Ability], hadn't noticed his presence!

This person (the sage) is terrifying!

Fels, whose face was obscured by a long black robe, raised his head and looked up at the sky god on the high seat.

The deity who had been with him for a long time knew he had something to say, and lowered his head to ask:

"What's wrong? Is there something you want to say?"

"His answer and the account of the events are consistent, and he can be trusted for now."

"You're monitoring him."

"Just to be on the safe side."

Fels entrusted the swordswoman Ais to go to the 24th floor not because he didn't have time to leave, but because his identity was special and he couldn't show himself.

Kobayashi accepted the Sky God's request, which resulted in duplicate requests. Fels, worried about something going wrong, followed behind them.

“Fels, the people of the lower realm cannot deceive the gods; this is a fact proven by time.”

"But we cannot guarantee that it will have the same effect on people from other worlds."

Compared to the Sky God who trusts Kobayashi, the Sage Fels seems suspicious, but this incident allows him to temporarily trust Kobayashi.

"Speaking of which, why not give him a reward? That guy is clearly the type who only works for money."

This is what Fels can't understand.

Aren't you afraid that Kobayashi will only show up for the expedition but not actually put in the effort?

He was very clever, and even the god of the sky would listen to his advice, but he was not a god after all, and his thoughts and actual decisions could only be made according to the other party.

The Sky God stopped looking at him, raised his head and gazed into the distance. Seeing a slovenly figure approaching Kobayashi, he spoke:

"It's alright, I've already made arrangements."

"...Is that so? Is it that deity?"

Fels couldn't see it, but with his exceptionally high intelligence, he could guess it.

If it's that deity, their compatibility should be very good. In that case, there's nothing to worry about.

Adventurer's Guild.

After each visit to the altar to see the Sky God, Kobayashi would routinely meet with Eina. There was no other reason; he simply wanted to let her know he was safe.

After all, if they remain silent for several days without showing up, they will definitely be taught a lesson by the domineering half-elf lady when they reappear.

Moreover, this time he not only let her know he was safe, but also poured out his grievances to the sky god to complain about the reasons.

"Don't you think that's outrageous, Miss Eina!" Kobayashi cried pitifully to the half-elf, "It's such a dangerous place, but Lord Uranus didn't give me any reward. I can't hold on any longer! It's all just the Lord's mission!"

"I'm going to find the god Uranus right now!"

After hearing the whole story, Eina was both frightened and indignant.

Not only did they send their family members to such a dangerous place, but they also gave them nothing when they came back. Just like Kobayashi said, they were too stingy!

She clenched her fists, as if she were about to confront the god of the sky.

Xiao Lin only wanted to soothe his upset mood, but he didn't expect her to react so strongly. She puffed out her broad chest as if she was about to start a fight, which scared him so much that he quickly grabbed her.

"Wait, wait, no need, no need!"

"But……!"

"Actually, I didn't do anything. It was all thanks to Miss Ais, Miss Asif, and others. I just went along for a while."

Eina's good intentions were too much to bear, so she had to keep emphasizing the importance of the Sword Maiden and downplaying her own contributions to the mission.

This calmed her down.

"Even so, Lord Uranus is still too stingy."

"……Um."

Xiaolin covered her face, her voice trembling.

Excessive condemnation would drive Eina to confront the gods, but if she remained silent, she couldn't vent her resentment, and she was feeling utterly wronged.

It's better to just leave.

Just as he was thinking this, a celebrity walked in from the guild entrance.

Her dazzling long golden hair, tall figure, beautiful face, and calm demeanor immediately attracted the attention of all the adventurers in the guild hall.

This also indirectly affected Kobayashi and Eina, who were in the corner.

"Huh? Miss Ais?"

"Miss Wallenstein?"

The two men exchanged a glance, puzzled by her arrival.

Just then, the swordswoman Ais, who was looking around, also saw the two people in the corner. Her long legs under her short skirt turned a corner and she came to stand in front of them.

"Xiaolin, Eina."

She greeted the two of them.

Kobayashi asked curiously, "Miss Ais, what brings you to the guild?"

"In order to apologize."

Sword Maiden Ais looked at Eina.

Ok?

The two were completely baffled.

Did she do something to offend Eina (herself)?

They had all misunderstood.

Fiora took out a green arm guard and said, "I think I should return this to him."

"Could this be Bell's equipment?"

Eina recognized the equipment immediately; it was a gift she had given to Bell. But why it ended up in the hands of the Sword Maiden Ais remained a mystery.

Fiora then explained the reason.

Actually, when Eina asked Kobayashi and Sword Maiden Ais to help Bell, they found this piece of equipment he dropped on the 10th floor. Moreover, the situation was urgent at the time, and Bell had to rush to save the little Lily, so he didn't even have time to thank them.

"My God, he ran away shouting without even saying thank you. Bell is so rude."

After hearing this, Eina crossed her arms and was very angry at Bell's actions.

“Don’t say that, Miss Eina,” Kobayashi explained for Bell. “At that time, he was on his way to rescue his supporters, so it’s understandable that he didn’t have time to thank them.”

"Even so..."

Eina slightly relented.

Sword Maiden Ais said, "So, I want to return it to him personally."
