I love time travel the most!

Chapter 270 Best Girlfriends, Forever

The next morning, Kobayashi specifically asked Darkness, who was in charge of making breakfast, to cook a large amount of red bean rice.

That's right, there's also the term "red bean rice" in the other world (Konosuba). It's a dish served as a wedding celebration... no, to be precise, a celebratory meal.

Because its red color symbolizes joy.

But the timing and the person involved this time, no matter how you look at it, seem like it was prepared for a newlywed couple...

"Wait a minute!" Huihui noticed red bean rice on the table and immediately slammed her hand on the table in a fit of rage, pointing at the red food in the middle and shouting, "What's going on here! Was this done on purpose? Was this prepared on purpose?!"

It's clear that the little girl with the bursting personality knows the meaning behind the red bean rice.

The other protagonist, Youyou, blushed and buried her head in her chest, silently burying her face in her hands like an ostrich, looking extremely shy.

If Huihui is the impulsive male in the newlywed couple, then Youyou is the shy female. Looking at it this way, they actually seem quite well-matched.

With a sly grin, Kazuma Sato deliberately provoked the little girl, saying, "Megumin, congratulations! You finally climbed the adult ladder last night."

"Hey, I'm a legal adult, I've been an adult for a long time!"

Huihui stared with her scarlet eyes.

Seeing that she didn't understand, Kazuma Sato waved his hand dismissively, "No, I wasn't talking about adulthood."

According to the Empire's laws, a girl is considered an adult at fourteen. The little girl had turned fourteen a month ago, so she was already an adult. However, her unassuming chest and petite frame still made her look like a little girl.

In contrast, Youyou, who is in the same grade as her, looks much more mature, both in height and in terms of physical development.

Darkness, the perverted knight, blushed slightly and said in a low, hesitant voice, "Climbing the adult staircase... I didn't expect that Megumin, who is younger than me, would grow up before me. I feel a little disappointed. Speaking of which, what is it like to climb the adult staircase?"

Even Darkness???

Huihui was dumbfounded.

Unexpectedly, Darkness, who was closest to her in the team, also seemed to have a deep misunderstanding.

She didn't do anything wrong; she just slept in the same bed with her best friend whom she hadn't seen in a long time. Why did such an outrageous rumor spread the next day?

"Wait a minute! Youyou is a girl, a girl! Can't you see those eyesores of big breasts?! Look, look!"

"It hurts, Huihui, it hurts so much! Stop it!"

Huihui angrily turned around to play with the ball, and Youyou, hurt from being played with, quickly escaped from the little girl's clutches.

At this moment, the goddess across the table looked serene.

"It's okay, Huihui."

"Aqua?"

"The Axis religion is philanthropic. As long as the object of a romantic relationship is not an undead or a demon, and as long as there is love and it doesn't break the law, everyone can be forgiven. So, girls are perfectly fine too."

"Uh……"

Can you imagine?

The high priestess, who had been acting dazed and confused throughout the group, now spread her hands wide, her beautiful face filled with solemnity and dignity, while exuding an aura of unparalleled holiness.

Just like the legendary goddess!

"No, I don't need the approval of the Axis Cult!"

Huihui rolled her eyes.

She had been tricked by the Axis Church many times before, and the mere mention of the church's name made her feel uneasy, and even Youyou's face gradually turned pale.

"You're too nervous, Huihui. Everyone just wants to celebrate for you." Kobayashi patted the little girl's shoulder, signaling her to relax.

Huihui tilted her head, not happy, but questioning, "Celebrate? Celebrate what?"

"Celebrating your and Youyou's wedding."

"You guy...!"

The little girl immediately lost her temper. Initially, they were teasing her indirectly with hints, but when Kobayashi bluntly stated it, Huihui couldn't accept it.

"Hehe, hehehe..."

"Hui-Hui-Hui?"

"A celebration, huh? Great! It just so happens that if we're having a celebration in Scarlet Devil Village, we'll set off fireworks. Since everyone likes celebrations, I'll set off a big firework!"

Huihui's eyes were bloodshot, and she exuded a gloomy aura, her yandere traits were maxed out!

"Huihui, what do you want to do?"

"Don't be afraid, it's just a big firework display... Explosion!!!"

"No, no!!!"

Ignoring all warnings, the little girl unleashed her staff and, without any regard for reason, the last and strongest attack magic of humankind—Explosion Magic. If Kobayashi hadn't used [Touch of Absorption] at the last moment to steal her magic power, the mansion would have definitely been blown to rubble.

After a thrilling and noisy commotion.

"You idiot! It was just a joke, why would you use such dangerous magic!"

Kazuma Sato glared angrily at Megumin.

The little girl, however, sat on the sofa, head held high and chest puffed out, showing no sign of thinking she had done anything wrong. Seeing this, Sato Kazuma gritted his teeth in anger.

Darkness took the initiative to comfort him, saying, "Don't be angry, Kazuma, it was our fault to begin with."

"But even so...!"

“If it weren’t a joke, Huihui wouldn’t have done that, would she?”

Kazuma Sato paused for a moment, then accepted the explanation, since it was indeed the truth.

Seeing him humiliated, the shrewish little girl raised her head even more proudly and said, "That's right! If it weren't for that scumbag Kazuma constantly bullying me, I wouldn't have acted so impulsively!"

"Hey, what does this have to do with me? It's clearly Kobayashi-senpai...!"

"Cough cough!"

"...It was clearly Kobayashi-senpai who didn't pull me back in time that caused this. Hmm, the fault lies with Kobayashi-senpai."

Kazuma Sato took the blame with tears in his eyes.

There's nothing he can do. Because of the compensation issue, he doesn't have a single penny on him right now, and if he wants any pocket money, he can only rely on Xiaolin.

Being kept by a sugar daddy isn't shameful.

Darkness said softly, "I'm sorry, Huihui, I didn't expect this to make you hate it so much. Besides, there's nothing wrong with being with girls; it might even be a novel experience."

"So you mean... huh?"

Huihui blinked.

Aqua went even further, saying to her, "It's okay, Megumin. Even if the Empire's laws don't allow it, you can still join the Axis Cult, because the Axis Cult is all about charity!"

"I would never join!"

The little girl loudly complained.

What's going on? What exactly happened? Are they really stupid, or are they deliberately teasing her?

After spending time together, Huihui realized that Darkness and Aqua weren't very intelligent, and judging from their sincere expressions, they were probably not teasing her.

But that's precisely why she's even more suspicious.

It's true, the more you believe, the more you doubt.

"Alright, alright, let's stop this farce here." Kobayashi stopped the conversation and said softly to Youyou, "Sorry, Youyou, for showing you the noisy side of the team."

"No, that's not true!"

Youyou quickly waved her hand.

Since the beginning, the next leader of the Crimson Demon Clan had remained silent, completely becoming an outsider. Besides her timid and shy nature, another reason was that Youyou wasn't a member of the team and didn't know how to join the conversation. Therefore, Youyou felt both happy and disappointed.

She's happy that her best friend has such a great group of teammates, but also feels lost because she's all alone. She has a typical personality of "afraid that her brothers are suffering, yet also afraid that they're driving Range Rovers."

Seeing her like this, Xiaolin's lips gradually turned up.

"What are your plans for coming to Axel, Yoyo?"

"……what?"

"Look, you didn't come all this way just to fulfill your promise to duel with Megumin, did you?"

"This, this..."

Youyou lowered her head awkwardly. It seemed that this silly child really had come specifically to see Huihui.

But then she suddenly raised her head and said loudly, "Actually, I also want to become an adventurer and get stronger! ...something like that."

His voice trailed off as he kept glancing at Kobayashi's reaction. Eventually, even he realized his excuse was too weak, so he moved his lips and stopped talking.

Kobayashi, who understood her true intentions, naturally wouldn't expose her: "I knew it. Axel is a true beginner village. Novice adventurers usually train here for a while, and Yoyo is probably the same."

"Yes, yes! That's it!"

Xiao Lin offered a way out, and Youyou immediately accepted.

However, she did indeed have this plan. Having lost to her nemesis Megumin in the duel again, Yu-Yu knew that her training was insufficient and planned to hone herself to become stronger so that she could challenge her again until she could defeat her opponent!

The next leader of the Crimson Demon Clan secretly made up his mind.

"It seems like Youyou is going to form a team."

"……Eh?"

"It's very common for adventurers to team up."

"Yes, that's right."

Upon hearing Xiaolin's words, Youyou froze. Her social skills were so poor that she could scare away even lecherous older men who tried to chat her up; finding a team for her would be harder than climbing to heaven.

On the other side, Huihui, who had been lazily lounging around, suddenly became alert. She felt that her position was insecure.

No!

Something must be done!

This is about her long-term meal ticket!

Sure enough, the next moment they heard Xiaolin invite, "Youyou, would you like to try teaming up with us?"
