I love time travel the most!

Xiaolin sighed, and even Eris awkwardly smiled along.

He stood up from his seat.

"Looks like it's time to go."

"Have a safe trip, Kobayashi."

Eris bid him a gentle farewell.

"By the way," Kobayashi suddenly asked, "Eris, are you still in the next town? When will you be back in Axel?"

"A few more days. A new dungeon appeared, so there was a delay." Eris explained, then asked with suspicion, "What happened? Is something wrong?"

"It's nothing, I just have something I wanted to give you."

"Things? What are they?"

"It's something called 'Blessing.' It's incredibly useful; you can definitely look forward to it."

Kobayashi gave a thumbs-up, looking very confident.

Eris laughed and said, "It looks like something really good. I'll look forward to it then."

"Oh!"

Xiaolin waved his hand.

"Kobayashi! Kobayashi!!! Come back quickly! You haven't been seduced by that cushion goddess, have you?! I'm going to cry, I'm going to cry! So, come back quickly!!!"

"Yes, yes, I'll be back right now, I'll be back right now."

Urged on by the foolish goddess, he bid farewell to the somewhat lonely goddess on her throne, passed through the resurrection magic circle set up by Aqua, and his figure disappeared into the heavens.

Chapter 267 The One Million-Word Female Protagonist

On the third day after returning.

Kobayashi forcefully gathered the entire team early in the morning, even dragging the silly goddess who refused to get out of bed into the hall. Then he announced to everyone:

"Everyone, let's go do the mission!"

"Eh————" X3

Apart from Darkness, the other three all wore expressions of utter disgust.

Aqua gripped the back of the sofa chair in front of the heater, shrinking inside and shouting, "No—! I don't want to! It's still so cold outside! Hey, what's wrong with Kobayashi? Is she stupid? The snow hasn't even melted yet, why are you in such a hurry to go outside? Are you a child? You're just like a kid clamoring to go out and play! If you want to go outside so badly, then go by yourself!"

This guy……

She spoke rapidly, giving no one a chance to speak, but what she meant was that she didn't want to go out.

They said Xiaolin was like a child, but now that the goddess is clinging to the back of the sofa and unwilling to go out, she looks even more like a child!

Forget it.

Anyway, it was to be expected that Aqua wouldn't want to go out.

So what about the others?

Turn your gaze to Huihui.

The chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) grand mage who had to go out every day to do her mandatory homework explained calmly, "Anyway, I can only use my Explosion Magic once a day. After using it, I'm a useless person. So it doesn't matter whether it's early or late."

Does she mean it's too early?

Looking at the sky outside.

The sky was still somewhat dark, and the sun had not yet fully risen, only a dim, hazy light.

"Besides, I'm still growing, so I need plenty of sleep to unleash even more powerful explosive magic!"

"...Forget it, you're not going to grow up."

"What did you say?!"

Huihui's hopes were ruthlessly dashed by Kobayashi. Perhaps it was the regretful look in his eyes as he gazed at her chest that hurt her; in any case, the little girl was currently in a state of extreme agitation.

As for the other one.

Kazuma Sato seemed to notice Kobayashi's gaze. After a slight silence, he said, "Well, according to past practice, I'm always the one who gets injured in the end during missions. In that case, I'll choose to get injured in the evening. Thank you."

"Uh……"

Xiao Lin was speechless.

This is truly a sad story.

Every time Kazuma Sato does a mission with Aqua and the other problem kids, he always ends up getting injured for some inexplicable reason, either getting yelled at or fined. As a result, he now finds that not doing missions with Aqua and the others is the most profitable thing for him.

How did it turn out like this?

Xiaolin was very distressed.

Spring. Especially early spring, is a season that, like winter, can make your mind go blank.

Even so, the monsters have already appeared. Although it's already springtime, there's still snow outside, and it's understandable that people are reluctant to go on quests because of the cold weather.

"Don't blame them too much, Kobayashi."

“…Darkness?”

The mature and composed older sister in the team was pleading for the others, and she was also the only one who did not object when she heard that they were going to do a mission.

"Because everyone is out of work in winter and just lazes around at home, it's become a habit, so..."

Darkness looked rather embarrassed.

Because Xiaolin was afraid that everyone would be broke after she left, she left behind a considerable amount of savings.

Problem children, who should have been struggling to make ends meet in winter, chose to stay indoors after receiving ample funds, which eventually led them to become accustomed to not working and living a sedentary life at home.

"It was my fault?!"

Kobayashi was dumbfounded.

I never imagined that turning them into good-for-nothings was my own problem.

Aqua then seized the opportunity to throw a tantrum, yelling, "That's right! It's all Kobayashi's fault! If you hadn't left so much money behind when you left, I wouldn't be this shut-in like this now! So Kobayashi, you'd better take responsibility and take good care of me!"

To forcibly pin the blame on others.

Scumbag, utter scumbag!

Her standards are so low that she completely lacks the demeanor a goddess should have.

Kobayashi looked at the silly goddess, who seemed to have found a good method, with a look of disgust on her face, proudly showing off her ample bosom.

Honestly, just leave her.

The other two NEETs who didn't want to work lit up, seemingly agreeing with Aqua's excuse.

She glanced at Kobayashi nervously, her hesitant gaze conveying a kind of unspoken urgency.

Kobayashi naturally wouldn't give them a chance to speak.

He first looked at the other man in the team and said, "Sato-kun, I've learned a lot of good skills this time. Don't you want to see them?"

"Eh?"

"I remember you once said that you wanted to get rid of the labels of scum, monster, and shut-in, and you were also looking forward to experiencing a magnificent adventure. You can't get anything done by staying at home all the time."

"This one……"

Seeing that Kazuma Sato hesitated, he continued with the fatal blow.

"Besides, if you don't work, you don't have money, and if you don't have money, you can't go to the succubus shop..."

"I go!"

Is it a man's nature?

This trick was particularly effective for Kazuma Sato, who was obsessed with succubus shops.

As for Huihui.

"Speaking of which... I learned an incredibly powerful spell."

"Eh----"

"It's even stronger than explosive magic."

"……what?"

Upon hearing that there was magic even more powerful than Explosion Magic, Megumin's ears immediately perked up.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

The little girl with explosive magic denied it without hesitation: "Explosion magic is the strongest and last resort of humankind. There is absolutely no magic that can surpass it!"

"Oh, really?"

"Xiaolin, what do you mean?"

"I admit that the power of the Explosion Magic is very strong, but Megumin, you don't seem to understand the principle that there are always people more powerful than you."

"Are you implying there's magic stronger than Explosion Magic?!...Is this a provocation? You're provoking me, aren't you! Fine! My family rule is that any provocation will be met with retaliation! I accept it! I accept your provocation! I'll make you truly understand that Explosion Magic is the strongest in the world!"

The chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) little girl is very emotional.

Before Xiaolin could even react, she jumped off the sofa, pounced on Xiaolin's back, grabbed her neck, and shook her violently.

It seems that she has inadvertently tainted the most important part of her heart.

never mind.

Anyway, just persuade her.

Seeing that it was about time, Kobayashi waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's go."

"Oh—" X3

"Eh? Eh???"

The three raised their hands and cheered, while Aqua stared blankly at the enthusiastic crowd.

And me?
