I love time travel the most!

personally?

Eina hesitated for a moment, but immediately agreed, "I understand, then I'll help too. By the way! Let's come up with a battle plan to prevent him from escaping!"

"Isn't the battle plan a bit of an overreaction?"

Xiaolin muttered to himself.

However, Eina had already become interested and suggested, "Why don't we call him into the conference room and lock him up? That way..."

"what?"

"What's wrong, Kobayashi?"

"It's Bell."

Kobayashi pointed to the counter, where Bell, whom Sword Maiden Ais was looking for, appeared.

Said that Cao Cao Cao Cao arrived.

Unexpectedly, not only was Bell fast at escaping, but his timing was also perfect.

"Bell! Over here!"

Xiao Lin shouted, trying to get him to come over.

Bell turned his head and saw Kobayashi's face light up with joy, but when he saw the Sword Maiden Ais beside him, his expression instantly froze. His body, like a rusty robot, slowly walked out of the guild.

"Hey, don't run away!"

With a flick of his wrist, Kobayashi counted the threads and bound him. Even though his hands and feet were tied up like a caterpillar, Bell still stubbornly hopped and skipped away from the guild.

Are you that shy?

Xiaolin really wanted to complain.

Suddenly noticing that Sword Maiden Ais had a hurt expression on her face, I could understand her inner thoughts without even needing to use my "All-Seeing Ability"—was she really that scared?

No, no, no, this is a misunderstanding.

The innocent rabbit wasn't afraid, it was just shy.

Although I really want to explain, it seems like the more I talk, the more confused I get, so I'd better just wait and see.

They slowly dragged Bell, who was still wriggling on the ground, over.

"Mr. Kobayashi! Let me go!"

Bell begged for mercy, but Kobayashi wouldn't listen. He quickly threw the rabbit, twisted into a caterpillar shape, in front of Swordswoman Ais.

This innocent young man didn't dare to look at the person he admired.

"Alright, let's get started."

The only way to calm the panicked rabbit down is to explain the situation to him.

Sword Maiden Ais returned the arm armor to Bell, explaining, "You were attacked by orcs in the dungeon, weren't you? I found this on the ground after you left, and I've been wanting to return it to you."

"The one who saved me back then was..."

Bell looked at the Sword Maiden Ais, his eyes filled with emotion.

and many more!

Have you forgotten that there were two people there?

Sword Maiden Ais continued, "I've always wanted to apologize to you. If only we could have defeated that Minotaur in another way..."

In her view, Bell was frightened entirely because he was stained with the blood of the minotaurs, which was also the main reason why Bell was later looked down upon.

Therefore, Ais felt apologetic.

"No, no, no, Miss Wallenstein is not wrong. You are my savior!"

Bell quickly and loudly denied it.

After all, in his eyes, if it weren't for the timely arrival of the Sword Maiden Ais, she would definitely have been smashed into a pancake by the Minotaur.

Although the method was a bit rough, at least he was saved. Under such circumstances, how could one possibly blame the other party?

"On the contrary, it is I who should apologize to Miss Wallenstein for not thanking her at that time! I'm sorry!"

Bell bowed deeply.

Fiora Ais paused for a moment, then her expression quickly softened.

Great, I finally apologized to him.

Kobayashi could tell the true intention behind her expression.

Bell left contentedly after receiving the arm armor returned to him by the person he admired.

Just as Kobayashi was about to leave, the swordswoman Ais suddenly called out to him, saying, "Kobayashi, the next clan expedition will be in eight days. We will be waiting for you at the clan's base."

"okay, I get it."

Kobayashi readily agreed.

Suddenly his body stiffened, and his head turned towards Eina, bobbing back and forth.

The answer was too bland; they completely forgot there was a worrywart half-elf beside them!

As expected, Eina's expression darkened as she stared into Kobayashi's eyes and asked, word by word, "Kobayashi, what's this about the expedition? Could you please explain it to me?"

Kobayashi's expression changed, and he hurriedly sought help from the swordswoman Ais, only to find that this intuitive and naturally naive girl had taken the opportunity to escape.

"……No!!!"

A pitiful howl echoed from within the guild.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

In the evening, Xiaolin covered his head and staggered down the street.

He brushed off Eina's questions with the excuse, "I didn't want to either, it's all the God's mission," but he couldn't escape the fact that he was cramming on dungeon-related knowledge.

So much so that he received a five-hour tutoring session in the guild's meeting room, and his mind was filled with a huge amount of knowledge.

"It hurts so much, I feel like throwing up."

Xiaolin suppressed the urge to vomit, feeling that if he did, all the knowledge he had been cramming for would be expelled with him.

Left with no other choice, he had to ask the waiter beside him for help.

"Liu Zi, please take me back to the hotel using the gears."

"Lord Kobayashi, you once said not to use skills for trivial matters. Do you really want to risk my life for such a trivial matter?"

The waiter's rebuke left the master speechless.

Liu Zi's life is tied to the wear and tear on the gears, so until this problem is resolved, he will not allow Liu Zi to misuse the gears unless absolutely necessary.

I never expected that this would become the reason for Liu Zi to reprimand me; it felt like I had shot myself in the foot.

Xiao Lin pursed his lips, but for the sake of his prestige, he had no choice but to endure it. He looked around and asked strangely:

"Where is this place?"

"This is North Street."

A man suddenly appeared, put his arm around Xiaolin's shoulder, and leaned his whole body against his back. His flirtatious tone gave off a sense of debauchery, and his intimate actions made it impossible for Xiaolin to resist.

……who is he?

The unfamiliar face left Xiaolin completely bewildered.

Chapter 247: I've only ever seen the phrase "good compatibility" in doujinshi.

The man was very handsome.

He's even a little too handsome.

Her bright orange hair, clear orange eyes, refreshing and generous smile, and friendly demeanor made her seem like a close friend.

This is also the main reason why people can't develop feelings of dislike.

The two were very close at this moment, and the other person's overly intimate behavior made Xiaolin stunned for a moment, until he realized that the other person's eyes were full of joy when looking at him, which brought him back to his senses.

With a launch start, they quickly widened the distance.

Kobayashi recognized that eager look; it was the same look as the goddess's. He could barely accept it if it were Freya, but if it was a man, he'd rather not have it!

"Haha, did I scare you?"

Seeing Xiaolin's wary expression, he wasn't annoyed, but instead gave a very lazy and insincere laugh.

Only after keeping a distance could one see the man's overall appearance.

very common.

Whether it's her clothes or the hat with a feather stuck in her head, her style is very similar to Lulune and the others, and there's nothing else particularly striking about her.

However, the fact that such attire appears in a labyrinth city already says a lot.

"I am Hermes. My child was well taken care of by you the other day."

The deity introduced himself with a smile.

Just as Kobayashi had thought, the approachable man in front of her was none other than the chief god of the Hermes Familia.

"Lord Hermes..."

Xiaolin was stunned.

Among the gods she encountered, there were idiots, domineering figures, indifferent ones, and perverts. Even Aqua maintained her divine dignity before revealing her true nature. But she had never met someone as frighteningly outgoing as Hermes before, and for a moment, she didn't know how to interact with him.

It seems I still need to hone my skills.

Fortunately, Hermes was very good at easing such awkwardness, or rather, his intimate actions, which were so frightening, forced him to learn how to handle such situations.

Hermes stroked his chin, looked Kobayashi up and down, and said, "Well, now I can finally relax."

"……what?"

"Because Asphie and the others admire you quite a bit, saying that you are strong, intelligent, and there are all sorts of strange rumors about you."

"Rumors?"
