I love time travel the most!

"I'm here to commission the guild to find the god Hermes. As for the reward... 20 Fali."

"so much?"

Eina was slightly surprised.

However, the information alone costs 20 Fali, which is quite a high price, provided that Hermes is not that hard to find.

"May I ask what brings you here?"

"Kill him and send him back to the heavens."

Ok? ? ?

Eina thought she had misheard and blurted out instinctively:

"Are you kidding me?"

"laugh."

"You're joking, right!"

"laugh."

Kobayashi responded to the girl's question with a smile.

Despite her friendly smile, Eina could still sense the malice emanating from Kobayashi, and the target was none other than the god Hermes.

"Don't worry, Eina, I was just joking. How could I possibly do such a thing to Hermes? You agree, right? Hehehehe—"

...We're doomed, he's serious.

A sinister laugh reached her ears, leaving Eina speechless for a moment. She couldn't help but wonder what Hermes had done to Kobayashi to make him so angry.

"Actually, it's not just this," Kobayashi added. "I want to inquire about the Soma Familia."

“——?!!!”

Upon hearing the name of this clan, Eina immediately tensed up, grabbed Kobayashi's arm, and asked:

"Why are you inquiring about the Soma Familia? Although I recently heard that the Familia's god Soma has regained control of all matters, he doesn't seem to be able to command respect, so the Familia is still in a state of chaos. It's best not to get involved with them."

The god Soma regained control of the Familia before the War Game began, which was when Lily was taken away.

Because the Apollo Familia colluded with the Soma Familia, in order to undermine the strength of the Hestia Familia from within, the Soma Familia leader, Chanis, kidnapped Lily.

Hyacinthus and Zanice met in the courtyard at the banquet held by Apollo to plan this incident.

However, the Hestia Familia was too determined to rescue Lily, and Lily herself was indeed very capable. After causing a ruckus, Soma suddenly realized his mistake and chose to let Lily go, and decided to take control of the Familia again.

"Kobayashi, you want to inquire about the Soma Familia, could it be...?"

"Hmm, I'd like to buy some divine wine."

"No! Absolutely not!"

Once Eina had made up her mind, she spoke up to stop him without any hesitation.

As a guild employee who deals with adventurers every day, she has seen too many people poisoned by the divine wine, so she absolutely will not allow Kobayashi to get involved with that addictive substance!

"Ouch—, that hurts."

Kobayashi gasped.

Eina became more and more excited as she spoke, and her strength increased accordingly.

It's unbelievable that she, who is just a guild employee, could grip Kobayashi's arm with such incredible strength.

"Don't be nervous, Miss Eina." Kobayashi pried her hands open and said, "The Divine Wine is only highly addictive to ordinary adventurers, and its effects are reduced at LV2. Not to mention that I am LV4, and I even have corresponding mental resistance."

I can't guarantee that the divine wine is of the caliber of a god, but if it's a defective product circulating in the market, it will have absolutely no effect on him.

the most important is……

“I’m not buying the divine wine for myself; it’s just that a god asked me to buy it.”

"……real?"

"Really, I swear. By the way, the goddess who asked me to buy her wine isn't in the Labyrinth City, but in my hometown. That's why she cried and begged me to buy it for her after hearing about the existence of the divine wine."

"Um……"

Eina was skeptical.

It's not impossible for the gods to be in the Labyrinth City, or even in Kobayashi's hometown. But she simply couldn't imagine the scene of someone crying and begging to buy the divine wine to take back home.

It's clear that Kobayashi didn't hesitate at all; she even raised her hand to swear, and ultimately chose to believe her.

"Since you said so..."

"Thank you very much for your understanding, Miss Eina."

"However! I don't recommend that you go to the Soma Familia on your own. It's better to find an adventurer who knows that family well."

"Okay, I know."

……

...

"So, you came to find Lily?" Hestia, sitting in the main seat, said disappointedly, "I thought you had changed your mind and wanted to join us."

"I'm sorry, but I have to decline."

Kobayashi refused again.

In this war game, the Hestia Familia is undoubtedly the biggest winner.

As a rising star, Hestia should have recruited many capable and promising members... However, after Hestia accidentally revealed that her family was still in debt of 2 million fali, she scared away a group of adventurers who came to apply for the job.

Therefore, Kobayashi suspected that Hestia not only valued him, but also coveted his money.

Hestia waved her hand dismissively, then paused before saying, "I can't grant your request, but I can if Lily agrees. So, Miss Supporter?"

He turned to look at the little girl sitting next to Bell.

To be honest, Kobayashi didn't have much hope.

Lily is a typical example of being persecuted by the Soma Familia. Especially since Kobayashi even took the initiative to explain that his purpose was the divine sake, how could she be willing to return to that place of sorrow?

But the little girl chose to look forward.

"—Holy crap!"

"Really?"

"Yes, at least I should repay Lord Kobayashi's favor. Don't worry about Goddess Hestia, I'm no longer afraid."

"...Do as you please."

Hestia looked impatient, but the worry in her eyes couldn't be dispelled; she was clearly afraid that Lily would be bothered by her past and wouldn't dare to face it.

They say they have been liberated after passing the test, but many people are unwilling to face the same difficulties again after overcoming them.

Lily, however, made a request: "If the High Goddess Hestia is really worried, then let Lord Bell accompany me. It would be a good opportunity for the two of us to get to know each other and nurture our relationship."

"You're dreaming! I would never let Belle and you be all lovey-dovey!"

Hestia was opposed.

Despite saying that, she still brought Bell along, even worrying that it might lead to the entire clan coming along.

"Um……"

Seeing the group full of fighting spirit, Kobayashi paused for a moment and subconsciously asked, "We're not going to declare war this time, are we?"

"You don't understand, Kobayashi. In times like this, the entire clan has to go together!"

"That's right! Anyone who dares to bully Lily will have to ask me first!"

"I had to come along because I was afraid that Lady Lily would be bullied."

The group started talking all at once.

Kobayashi finally understood why Hestia and Aqua were so similar, given that the practice of attacking one person would lead to the entire clan joining in.

It's not just about how useless she is or how shameless she is; most importantly, she values ​​her retinue the most, just like Aqua cares about her followers the most.

Lily was deeply moved.

Bell scratched his cheek sheepishly, looking quite embarrassed.

Kobayashi, on the contrary, had a good idea.

"In that case, we'll have to show off the strength of this new powerhouse in the labyrinth city."

"Demonstrate strength? How?"

"Come, learn from me."

Then Xiaolin's shoulders slumped, her upper body leaned back slightly, and while walking, her arms remained still but her shoulders swayed back and forth dramatically, making her walk awkward and affected.

This is the "step of ten billion yuan"!

"That walking posture is so weird..."

Why do you look so punchable?

"And it's really awkward to walk in."

At first, the group couldn't learn it well, but once they got the hang of it, they walked quite well.

Hestia learned the fastest and walked with the most swagger:

"Good, good, I'll leave like this from now on!"

She clearly fell in love with the gait.

Then, everyone staggered towards the Soma Familia's headquarters.

Because of their overly arrogant gait, passersby couldn't help but point and whisper among themselves. Apart from Kobayashi and Hestia, who were at the front, everyone else silently restrained their movements, as they couldn't accept their superhuman gait.

The group soon arrived at their destination.

Unexpectedly, as soon as they arrived at the Su Mo Clan, they encountered an unexpected person.

He was the former head of the clan association, Chanis.

Upon seeing Kobayashi and the others, his limbs trembled slightly, his heart pounded, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and his eyes widened with fear.
