I love time travel the most!

Kobayashi called out to the Kingdom Prosecutor who was turning to leave, and asked under her questioning gaze, "Regarding the lord's matter, I wonder how your investigation is going, Miss Sena?"

"Well..."

Sena looked slightly embarrassed.

But under Kobayashi's questioning gaze, she quickly gave up her excuses and explained in a low voice, "I'm sorry. Actually, I'm extremely busy with Lord Aldap's affairs."

"Oh why?"

“In fact, we have found many inconsistencies regarding Lord Aldap, but unfortunately, we currently lack evidence to arrest him, so…”

"Is that really the case?"

Xiaolin muttered to himself.

The result was exactly what he expected.

Aldap was a lord, after all. He was a scoundrel but not an idiot. How could he be so easily caught red-handed?

Moreover, in most stories, the Kingdom Prosecutor would definitely not find anything, and it's already a blessing that it hasn't turned into "Investigator's Shameful Torture MP4".

"Mr. Kobayashi, your gaze is very rude."

"……sorry."

Sena's sixth sense was indeed amazing; she even saw through Kobayashi's wild speculations.

Hearing them talking about the lord, Kazuma Sato couldn't help but speak up.

He recalled being unjustly fined a huge amount of money twice before, and the more he thought about it, the angrier he became.

"Wait a minute!" Kazuma Sato interrupted, questioning Sena, "You just said there are many unreasonable things about the lord. In other words, he's actually very strange, and you all know he's strange, right?"

"If you insist on saying it this way..."

"Then arrest him! Take him to the interrogation room and use that lie detector on him! Don't you have one? That machine that can easily test whether someone is lying!"

"No, I can't catch him."

"Why?!"

"Because according to the laws of the Empire, the Kingdom's investigators cannot arrest nobles without solid evidence."

"So that means we can arrest adventurers?!"

"That's right. You have a problem with that?"

"...That's so...so unfair!"

Hearing Sena's cold and indifferent reply, Kazuma Sato looked as wronged as a wronged little wife. He deeply understood the class differences in the Middle Ages.

hateful!

Damn classism!

This was the nature of medieval society: outwardly obedient to the kingdom, but in reality fearless, especially when possessing territory. This was most evident in Ardap, which explained his impunity.

"It seems we need to think of another way."

"Senior Kobayashi!"

Kazuma Sato overheard Kobayashi's soft mutterings and immediately became excited, as if he had found a pillar of support.

That's right, and Kobayashi is with them too!

There must be another way!

Sena seemed to have guessed something, her expression changed and she said urgently, "Mr. Kobayashi, you're not planning to do anything reckless, are you?"

"How could that be? I wouldn't do anything strange."

Xiaolin smiled and looked harmless.

As a qualified prosecutor of the kingdom, my only thought was disbelief, especially in this situation.

In fact, Sena also harbored resentment towards the lord. After this period of investigation, she discovered that Aldap had committed many evil deeds, but the lack of evidence left her in a bad mood every day. However, the kingdom's prosecutor's sense of justice wouldn't allow Kobayashi to do anything wrong, leaving her at a loss for what to do.

Sensing her inner turmoil, Kobayashi patted her on the shoulder.

"Miss Sena, please rest assured, I will not do anything strange, I assure you."

"Mr. Xiaolin..."

Even though she didn't believe it, she had no choice but to force herself to believe it after Kobayashi's assurance.

After a brief chat, Sena was dismissed by Kobayashi.

Watching her retreating figure, Sato Kazuma asked in confusion, "Why didn't you teach that despicable lord a lesson earlier? With your strength, Kobayashi-senpai, you shouldn't have had any problem, right?"

"Because this town is the territory under Darkness's father's name, if something happens to the lord, it could easily implicate Lord Darkness."

Kobayashi had considered killing Aldap directly, but the Dustinis family was likely to be held accountable, and he didn't want the kingdom to take the opportunity to reclaim its territory and power.

Kazuma Sato pouted unhappily.

"Tsk."

"Stop wearing that sour face. Even if we can't kill him, we can still collect some small interest."

"What do you mean?"

"secret."

Xiaolin acted mysteriously, but the corners of her mouth kept turning up.

Chapter 273 A Man's Happiness Is That Simple

After leaving the Adventurers' Guild, the two did not return to the mansion, but instead headed towards Wiz's magic item shop.

Kazuma Sato asked, puzzled, "Kobayashi-senpai, what brings you to Wiz? Could it be...?"

Then he suddenly realized.

"I know! He's definitely going to find some weird magical items and then secretly cause some trouble, right?"

"Your smile is too sinister, Sato-kun."

"Aren't you the same, Kobayashi-senpai?"

"Hehehe~~~"

At this moment, their smiles were extremely sinister.

Walking down the street, many female adventurers looked at him with disgust and kept their distance, fearing that the infamous scumbag would pull down their underwear in the street.

Kazuma Sato is right; Kobayashi did indeed have that intention.

Wiz's magic item shop has a lot of bizarre and mischievous items, and he wouldn't mind buying them if he could find something useful.

"However, that is not the most important purpose."

"Is there any other reason?"

"Hmm. I also have an idea to give Youyou a gift for joining the team."

This is a tradition of the squad.

He gave each of them a beginner's outfit and a decorative wand as a gift when they formed a team, including Kobayashi, Kazuma Sato, and Aqua. Now that Yuuyu has joined the team, she should also receive a similar gift.

"But unexpectedly, Youyou paid the joining fee first..."

"Exactly. Are we some kind of weird gang or Yakuza? Do we have to pay protection money to join? Seeing how cautious she is, why do I feel inexplicably sad?"

Recalling the magic crystal that Youyou had taken out, Kobayashi and Sato Kazuma's expressions were a little off.

Given her personality, she always felt that the child had suffered a lot.

They've put themselves in too low a position!

"Even so, Sato-kun, are you aware of the concept of paid work?"

"...What is that? It sounds so silly."

Under Kazuma Sato's puzzled gaze, Kobayashi explained to him what paid work meant.

It dealt a heavy blow to the still relatively innocent minds of teenagers.

"Hey! Is that even possible?! Such an absurd thing?!" Sato Kazuma exclaimed in surprise, then patted his forehead and laughed it off, pretending to relax. "I know, Kobayashi-senpai must be joking... or something. It seems that's not the case."

Kobayashi didn't laugh at all, but just looked at him calmly. Sato Kazuma knew that this was true.

"No way, that's so bizarre!"

"Right? I find it incredible too. But reality is just that magical."

"The other world is indeed better... No, it seems that's not the case."

Kazuma Sato instinctively made a sarcastic remark, but before he could finish, he remembered what Sena had just said and immediately changed his mind.

Xiaolin patted him on the shoulder.

"But that's okay!"

"Ok?"

"My ambition is to be taken care of by a big-breasted, black-haired older sister. Working part-time is absolutely out of the question!"

"Aha……"

Forgot, even scumbags and real people have this lofty ideal.

But given his principles of being a true gender egalitarian and a fair man who dares to use missile kicks on women, can he really find a girl willing to support him?

"No matter what, do your best, Sato-kun."

"I have a feeling that Senior Kobayashi is thinking something impolite."

"you misunderstood."

"Really?!"

Amidst the noise, the two wandered through the alleyways until they arrived at Wiz's magic item shop.

Looking at the shop as always, Xiaolin did not hesitate and pushed open the door directly.
