I love time travel the most!

Unable to resist Aqua's pleas, Kobayashi told her about the divine sake brewed by the Soma Kinde's chief deity, a sake that even gods would be captivated by.

"...I want to drink! I want to drink!"

Aqua couldn't help but shout loudly after hearing this.

He knew it would turn out this way. The silly goddess who loves to drink but has terrible drinking manners couldn't possibly remain unmoved after hearing the rumors of the divine wine.

Xiaolin and Xiaoxiong shrugged and said, "Unfortunately, my ring has no energy and I can't travel through time for now."

"It's okay, I'll handle it!"

Without saying a word, Aqua grabbed Kobayashi's hand, filled the ring with energy, and then impatiently urged him on.

"Alright! Hurry up and travel through time, Kobayashi! Bring me back some delicious divine wine!"

"Hey! Is there really a need to be in such a hurry?"

I couldn't help but roll my eyes at her.

In the past, if you wanted her help to recharge your energy, you had to be humble and promise her benefits. But now, this silly goddess is actually helping you for her own selfish desires. The contrast is too great.

Now that the Barnier affair is over and Lord Aldap has been dealt with, things have suddenly become idle.

Moreover, it's only early spring now. If we can seize the last bit of the season, it wouldn't be a bad idea to go to DanMachi and level up again.

Kobayashi fell into deep thought.

Seeing Kobayashi pondering with his chin in his hand, Aqua shouted, "Go! Go! Kobayashi, just go! I want to drink, I want to drink the divine wine! Kobayashi is my follower, right? In that case, offer the best offering to your goddess!"

She clung to Kobayashi's legs, pleading incessantly.

Hey, what are you doing!

Are there any goddesses like you who cling to someone's leg and beg endlessly?

It's unbearable to look at, absolutely unbearable to look at.

The adventurers who came out of the guild stared wide-eyed at Aqua, who was yelling and screaming, and Kobayashi, who was being held by the leg and unable to move. It was as if they had discovered something.

The rumors about Huihui and Youyou hadn't even died down a few days ago, and now Aqua has been added to the mix.

If this continues, won't he be slandered as a scumbag?

And those female adventurers secretly observing from a distance, your gazes are a bit strange. What's with that "I can do that too" look on your faces?

I'm not that kind of person!

Kobayashi covered her cheeks and said resignedly, "I'll go. I will, so please get up! It's really embarrassing, please don't do this!"

"Really? Thank you, Kobayashi!"

Having received a clear reply, the silly goddess leaped up from the ground, nearly knocking Kobayashi over.

Meanwhile, the female adventurers lurking in the shadows gaped wide-eyed, their expressions revealing a look of utter astonishment.

Don't do that, I'm serious!

"Although I said I would go, it's not now."

"Eh----"

"Hey, what the hell?"

Kobayashi tapped Aqua on the head.

Although things are almost over, there are still some things he needs to finish up, so it may take some time.

Xiaolin was busy for the next few days.

After returning from DanMachi, he was already capable of becoming a Level 4, but because his proficiency did not meet his expectations, he temporarily postponed his advancement.

However, he reached a deal with Barnier.

He paid for the Duke of Hell, a former officer of the Demon King's army and the ruler of demons, to create an unlimited number of masked puppets to increase his proficiency. Soon, his attributes reached the SSS level.

Finally, Aqua promoted him.

【Xiao Lin? ? ? 】

LV4

Strength: i0

Durability: i0

Dexterity: i0

Agile: i0

Magic: i0

Skill: [Otherworldly Hero]

Magic: [Clumsy Imitation]

In addition, there is the ability to develop.

At LV2, he chose [Magic (F)], at LV3, he chose [Iron Body (F)], and at LV4, he chose [Crush (H)].

Incidentally, the numbers in parentheses represent proficiency level.

Unexpectedly, the proficiency of the second-chosen skill, [Steel Body], has caught up. It seems that I am just as good at melee combat as a certain legendary white-robed mage.

When choosing development abilities at LV4, he hesitated for a long time between [Combo Attack] and [Crush], but ultimately chose the latter on Barnier's advice.

The only regret is that he doesn't have the skills or development that a protagonist should have.

For example, things like "luck" or "mystery"—rare items that can play a crucial role at critical moments.

Looking at the adventurer card, which showed the same luck as ordinary people, Kobayashi couldn't help but sigh.

—I'm definitely not a hero.

Chapter 292 is exactly like what readers who are dissatisfied with the protagonist's style say.

"Wiz, please prepare some magic crystals for me."

"Okay, I'll go now!"

Wiz happily agreed and hopped and skipped into the shop along with the rabbit on his chest.

Kobayashi is currently working at Wiz's magic item shop.

Before each adventure to other worlds, he would come here to replenish his supplies and look for any magical items that might come in handy.

This has become the norm.

And since magic crystals are such useful items that often have miraculous effects, whether for murder, arson, or as an essential item for home and travel, it's natural to prepare more of them.

After Wiz left, Barnier prepared tea for him.

"This is the finest tea in our shop, brewed by our most skilled staff. Please enjoy."

"Thank you, Mr. Barnier."

"Don't be so polite! After all, you are our most important and distinguished customer. If we can't treat you properly, it would be a complete dereliction of duty on our part!"

The Duke of Hell, a former officer of the Demon King's army who was acting as a shop assistant, was very polite.

Hey, hey, hey, that's not how you treat Aqua.

Don't be fooled by his current respectful demeanor; if he were to encounter that idiotic goddess, the two, who are like oil and water, would definitely end up fighting.

While Kobayashi was drinking tea, the tall Barnier bent down, leaned close to him, and nodded from time to time while making strange noises.

"Mmm, mmm mmm."

"...Say whatever you want to say."

"You seem to be going on a trip."

"Travel? I guess so."

Kobayashi found it strange. Barnier was a great demon capable of foreseeing the future; he should know that Kobayashi could travel between worlds, but his tone seemed uncertain.

Barnier seemed to sense Kobayashi's suspicion. He tapped his forehead with his finger and sighed as he explained, "That's because you're too deeply entangled with that calamity god, so what we see isn't very clear."

It turned out to be the case.

Despite her appearance, Aqua is still a genuine goddess. The aura and power of a deity are hindering the demons' attempts to spy.

Perhaps because she was favored by the goddess, Xiaolin received some protection as a result.

"Back to the main topic," Barnier continued, "Although we can't see very clearly, we can still see a little. Let me give you a little advice. Your journey will be filled with many battles, and there is an invisible hand constantly pushing things along. However, with your current strength, you should be able to overcome them."

"Really? Thank you for the advice."

Kobayashi nodded.

Even without Barnier saying it, he had this premonition, and it was very strong.

"However, we are probably worrying unnecessarily. After all, you can also foresee the future, so you don't need anyone to remind you."

"No, I can't use it."

"Um???"

"I mean, I can't use the ability to see into the future right now."

When the Five Visions collapsed and truly merged with him, Kobayashi coincidentally used his ability to glimpse the future, and only once.

Of course, this doesn't mean it's a one-time thing.

However, he tried many times afterward, but he just couldn't get the hang of it, neither magic nor divine power worked.

The person right in front of us happens to be a master at predicting the future.

Taking the opportunity, Kobayashi asked, "Mr. Barnier, do you have any ideas about this?"

Barnier stroked his chin, surprised. "How strange. At least I thought you should be fine... I don't think I can help with this. But as your senior, I can give you some advice: let nature take its course. Your eyes have great potential. Even though they are still weak now, they can still evolve and have infinite possibilities."

"Thank you for the compliment, but it doesn't sound like you're offering any substantial advice."

I couldn't help but complain to him.

Just then, Wiz came back from behind!
