I love time travel the most!

He's been living in fear these past few days.

The appearance of the Hestia Familia awakened Soma, and Chanis, stripped of his power and losing his position as leader, only hoped that the Apollo Familia would teach them a lesson.

However, after the brutal Kobayashi defeated the Apollo Familia with overwhelming force, he lost all will to resist.

As we all know, when the protagonist begins to settle scores, villains like him suffer the most gruesome deaths.

Now that the Hestia Familia is out together, and swaggering towards him, it's already a miracle he didn't scream.

"Oh, it's you."

Hestia casually patted him on the shoulder, but before she could even apply any force, he plopped down on the ground.

Before they could even react, Chanis immediately knelt down and loudly apologized.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I know I was wrong, I'm already repenting! I'm sorry! You can hit me, scold me, or make me do anything, please don't kill me! I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"

"Uh... I don't think I did anything."

Hestia, on the contrary, was frightened.

"Well, no."

"should not."

"Definitely not."

The others shook their heads.

Seeing that Chanis, who had been trembling uncontrollably, had knelt down and begged for mercy, Lily wore a smug, almost arrogant, expression, but she didn't show it. Instead, she said:

"High Goddess Hestia, I have something to discuss with Commander Chanis. May we go aside and talk for a moment?"

"Oh...oh, go ahead."

Hestia nodded, bewildered.

Watching the two figures disappear into the distance, Kobayashi nodded and said, "That's right, it was extortion."

"...No, no, no, Lily would never do such a thing. She must have gone to reconcile."

Bell looked incredulous.

This rabbit, who trusted his partner completely, genuinely believed that Lily was simply a victim, unaware that Lily only acted innocently in front of him.

After all, apart from height, the little girl has more in terms of age and experience.

Ignoring the two who had 'reconciled,' they successfully entered the Soma Familia under Hestia's guidance.

The entire settlement of the clans has improved considerably.

The captives of the Divine Wine can no longer be seen by the walls or in the corners; they are all diligently rebuilding their families.

Although there has been no improvement yet, it indicates that the God Soma is indeed moving in a positive direction.

Soon, they met the god Soma.

"welcome."

Her face was half-covered by thick hair, making it impossible to see her features. She was dressed very simply and spoke very softly.

"That's why I told you, you have too much hair!"

"It hurts! Please let me go, Hestia."

Even when Hestia roughly pulled his hair, Soma remained quiet and seemed not angry at all, making one wonder how he regained control of his Familia.

However, that's their business, so I won't ask any further questions.

Then explain your purpose.

Upon hearing this, Soma waved his hands in front of his chest and whispered, "I'm sorry, I've decided to stop brewing divine wine."

"Huh?!?!"

It wasn't Kobayashi who overreacted, but Hestia.

This Kitchen God, who lived a life of leisure in the heavens and continued to live a life of leisure in his friends' homes in the mortal realm, was very envious of the high gods like Mihe and Hephaestus, who had special skills.

Because she couldn't do anything, she had no advantage when recruiting followers. Upon hearing that Soma didn't brew divine wine, she immediately shouted excitedly.

"Why!"

“It was because I was so engrossed in brewing the divine wine that I neglected its management, and that my clan became like that. So I made up my mind to stop brewing. And to put an end to this thought, I have destroyed all the divine wine.”

"How could that be? What a waste!"

Hestia beat her chest and stamped her feet in frustration.

She was actually thinking of taking this opportunity to ask Soma for some divine wine, but she never expected it to be destroyed.

It's a pity for Kobayashi too.

But what's gone is gone. He wouldn't ask the god Soma to brew the divine wine again, just as he never asked Zorf to help forge the magic sword.

And so they got up to take their leave.

But just as they arrived at the gate of their clan's residence, Lily, who had come to join them, brought good news.

"Commander Chanis kept quite a bit of divine wine for himself, although it's all defective, it should still be useful. Of course, he gave it to us voluntarily, right, Commander?"

"Yes, yes, that's correct."

Chanis, sweating profusely, quickly agreed.

Regardless of his ulterior motives for hoarding the divine wine, at least at this moment, Hestia and Kobayashi were grateful to him.

Then the two happily divided the divine wine between them.

Return to the hotel.

I saw the few bottles of the "miracle wine" that had been brought back.

Liu Zi asked curiously, "Lady Kobayashi, is this the addictive divine wine? It doesn't look special at all."

"It must be because it's a defective product," Kobayashi explained. "Besides, the Divine Wine can only make adventurers below LV2 addicted. Most level 1 adventurers are immune to it. Otherwise, the guild wouldn't allow the Divine Wine to circulate on the market."

It's a pity the doll girl can't eat, otherwise she could have had a taste.

On the contrary, Kobayashi became curious about the taste of the divine wine.

He simply picked up a bottle.

Upon opening the bottle, a rich aroma of wine immediately wafted out, like a pair of gentle hands caressing his soul, making his brain cells become active.

"As expected of a divine wine, even the defective product is much better than high-grade sparkling wine."

Then drink it all in one gulp.

Aside from the fact that it tastes good, there's nothing else to it, and it's not addictive at all.

Kobayashi, who is favored by Aqua, is almost immune to all negative influences.

Despite saying that, under the influence of alcohol, Kobayashi was in a great mood tonight and stayed up until dawn before finally falling asleep with Ryuji in his arms.

When I woke up, it was already evening of the next day.

Xiao Lin rubbed his temples, thinking to himself, "I never thought I'd become so haggard from the damage I've done to myself by indulging in alcohol and women! From today onwards, I'll abstain from alcohol!"

Yes, the man only mentioned alcohol.

Chapter 304 Red Street X Prostitute X Toad Spirit

The guild's enclosed space.

The sky god, seated high atop the altar, addressed the man below who had just made a name for himself in the war game (on the surface):

"I hope you can go to Flower Street."

"……what?!"

Kobayashi was taken aback.

What are you talking about, this unconventional otaku god who can only live in a dark space?

During this time, he gained a profound understanding of just how bizarre the gods of the labyrinth city were.

Although most gods are reliable, there are always some unreliable ones who indulge in eating, drinking, gambling, and other vices, such as the typical example—the playboy god Hermes.

But at least Uranus shouldn't have said such a thing. Something must have happened.

Just as he had thought.

Uranus wasn't angry at Kobayashi's disdainful look, but said coldly, "Recently, someone in the guild reported that the [Ishtar Familia] is concealing the levels of its members and causing a lot of trouble in the dungeon. I need you to investigate the truth of the matter."

"So this is ah."

Kobayashi nodded.

Some clans like to cause trouble, often bringing significant problems to the Labyrinth City, which is when guilds need to intervene.

As the most neutral official organization responsible for maintaining the operation of the city, it naturally has the obligation and the right to investigate.

Looking at it this way, what's the difference between Xiaolin getting permission to go to the red-light district and taking paid leave or using public funds for meals? This is really great!

"Okay, I'll go!"

Kobayashi readily agreed.

Beside him, Liu Zi retorted without holding back her sharp tongue, "It seems Lord Kobayashi still has plenty of energy. You were completely drained yesterday, but you're back to normal today. With your stamina and energy constantly recovering, do you perhaps consider this a battle?"

Wow, that's really going too far.

Although she didn't say it directly, her cold and sarcastic tone almost described him as a monkey in heat.

"But it's a real shame, Ryuu."

"Ok?"

Under the doll girl's questioning gaze, Kobayashi raised his index finger and twirled it in the air, saying with great enthusiasm, "I'm doing this to repay a favor. That's right, to repay the favor for the commotion I caused a couple of days ago."

"...Shouldn't we normally blame Hermes?"

"They won't forgive him over there either. But one thing at a time, the favor still needs to be repaid."

"You wouldn't be saying this on purpose just so you can go to the red-light district, would you?"
