I love time travel the most!

When Hestia and the others appeared, he was indeed speechless with surprise, but looking at Aqua beside him, he could accept the situation.

Hestia asked in confusion, "Where...is this?"

"This is near Axel."

The one who answered her question was the foolish goddess Aqua.

"Ah, Bell!"

"Wake up, Lord Bell!"

"Bell?"

"Uh…………"

Whether it was due to the way he fell or not, Bell is currently unconscious.

Looking at Bell surrounded by three girls, Kazuma Sato couldn't help but lean close to Kobayashi's ear and whisper, "Kobayashi-senpai, don't you think there's a harem vibe here?"

"Are you jealous?"

"To be honest, I'm super jealous!"

"You're still the same as ever, not hiding your likes and dislikes at all."

Kobayashi was shocked by his unvarnished words. As expected of a scumbag like Kazuma, his appearance was truly hideous.

Hestia was also confused, but she knew someone else understood, so she asked him, "Kobayashi, what exactly is going on? Can you explain it to us?"

That forced smile made him look very angry.

"Hmm... how should I put it?" Kobayashi thought for a moment, then decided to tell them the truth directly.

"This is another world."

"Eh?"

Hestia was stunned.

Ais, however, was sensitive to this word. She couldn't help but ask, "Another world... could it be what Kobayashi has been saying, that he's from another world?"

"Let me correct you, you are the people from another world now."

Kobayashi did not deny this.

However, this left not only Hestia and the others dumbfounded, but also Kazuma Sato.

"That rumor, which seemed like an urban legend, was actually true? Could it be that the Flashing Running Lizard brought them here from another world?!"

"That should be correct."

Kobayashi gave his approval.

His ring can only allow him to travel through time, and judging from what Hestia said, it was most likely made by the Flash Running Lizard.

Ais asked in confusion, "Do you know about that golden lizard?"

"Well, that's a long story—"

Kazuma Sato, embarrassed by his mistake, stammered, unsure how to explain himself.

boom!

Before he could even explain, another large mass of dark shadows suddenly descended from the sky; upon closer inspection, they turned out to be the Minotaur group.

"Ooh ooh ooh!!!"

The monsters that suddenly appeared roared loudly.

Aqua shouted, "N-No, Kobayashi! A group of terrifying monsters have fallen from the sky!"

"That's the Minotaur...!"

Hestia's expression changed. They were the same group of minotaurs who had just destroyed the town; she hadn't expected them to come along too.

Not only that, seemingly provoked, the One-Strike Bear and the Bloodthirsty Demon Wolf also appeared, roaring loudly at the strange beings that had invaded their territory.

"Roar roar roar————"

"Huh! There are some monsters I've never seen before coming over here! This isn't a dungeon, really, what's going on!?"

Lily covered her mouth in alarm.

Hestia then said, "Bell is currently unconscious; it's too dangerous for us to fight."

"Senior Kobayashi, I'm begging you!"

Sato Kazuma naturally turned to the man beside him for help.

"I just got back, and I'm already being used as a tool...?"

Kobayashi complained, but instead of turning away in embarrassment, he slowly walked towards the group of monsters.

Ais followed.

"let me help you."

"That really helps a lot."

Xiaolin did not refuse.

Then they performed a magnificent dance in front of everyone, easily eliminating the monsters.

"Okay, so awesome..."

"This is so gorgeous!"

"Although it's still not as good as my magic."

"If only I could hit the target too..."

The two's extremely seamless teamwork astonished everyone, and words of praise followed.

Amidst the scattered remains of the monsters on the battlefield, Kobayashi and Ais emerged unscathed from the battle.

"Alright, let the guild clean up later."

"guild?"

"Ah, like the labyrinth city, this town also has guilds, but they are slightly different."

Kobayashi naturally answered all of Ais's questions.

"Alright everyone, let's head back first." Kobayashi said to Hestia, "I'm sure you all have a lot of questions, so why don't you come and rest with us for a bit? Besides, Bell is still unconscious, isn't he?"

"Well... okay, thank you for your help."

After glancing at Bell, who was still unconscious, Hestia readily agreed.

Back at the mansion.

After resting for a while, Bell also woke up from his coma, and everyone gathered in the hall.

Hestia said gratefully, "We were saved thanks to your help. You even let us in to rest so we could take care of Bell."

"Everyone, I'm sorry to have caused you trouble, it's all because I'm unconscious."

Bell apologized, feeling very guilty.

Kobayashi waved his hand: "Don't worry about this little thing. Bell, are you alright now?"

"Well, no problem."

Bell clenched his fist.

The fatigue from the previous battle with the swordswoman Ais has completely vanished, which is truly incredible.

Seeing that the pleasantries were over, Hestia took the initiative to ask, "Then let me ask you one more time, what do you know about that monster?"

"I know, but can you listen to me calmly?"

At Kobayashi's prompting, Sato Kazuma recounted the entire incident.

Hestia, her expression displeased, said, "So, we were transported to this world because you let that 'Shining Running Lizard' go?! And the reason you gave for letting the monster go was to see it run? That's ridiculous!"

"That's right, you think so too, don't you!"

Kazuma Sato seemed to find a resonance and joined the condemnation.

“Another world.” Ais thought for a moment and said, “It’s hard to believe, but since Kobayashi said so, we can only believe it.”

"Eh?"

Kazuma Sato blinked.

Look at the blonde female swordsman, then look at your own team leader.

I have a feeling there's something going on!

Lily asked worriedly, "Another world... will the few of us be able to go back?"

“It’s not that we can go back, it’s that we absolutely have to go back!” Hestia corrected her, then looked at Kobayashi and said, “This requires your help, Kobayashi, is that alright?”

"Of course no problem."

Kobayashi readily agreed.

Since they're the ones who caused the trouble, it's only natural that we need to fix it. Besides, Kobayashi is quite uneasy about Hestia and Aqua being together.

"Oh, right, let me introduce myself."

Aqua, who had been waiting for a long time, finally had a chance to join the conversation.

"I am Aqua, this is Kazuma, the two over there are Megumin and Darkness, and you should know Kobayashi as well."

"Um, my name is Bell Craney, and I'm an adventurer belonging to the Hestia Familia. Nice to meet you!"

"Ais Wallenstein...belongs to the Loki Familia."

"Liliruka Erd, also a member of the Hestia Familia, and a supporter of Lord Bell, please take care of me."

With Aqua's maxed-out social skills, Bell and the others introduced themselves one by one.

Upon meeting Lily, Huihui couldn't help but praise her, saying, "Lily Luca is so young, yet she's so reliable. She feels just like my little sister Mimi, so cute."

Kobayashi's expression changed after hearing this: "Um, Megumin..."

"What's wrong, Kobayashi?"
