I love time travel the most!

"I think so too."

Kazuma Sato looked around and sighed, "How could we have found it so easily—we found it?!"

He quickly changed his tune.

Perhaps due to the [Thousand-Mile Vision] skill, his vision was quite strong, and he easily found a golden spot in the middle of the green grassland.

"Hiss hiss hiss... Ahhh..."

In a corner of the grassland, a shimmering lizard is fast asleep in a dimly lit corner of lush grass, completely oblivious to the fact that it is causing much trouble for others.

Afraid of disturbing it, Belle whispered in surprise, "Found it...!"

The others couldn't help but look over as well.

"It looks like it's sleeping soundly..."

Aqua's words were met with agreement from everyone.

The shimmering running lizard had its eyes closed, its golden flesh tucked into its neck, its limbs curled up, and its thick tail lying motionless on the grass. Its soundly asleep was a bit infuriating.

Because of it, everyone else has suffered so much.

Ais scanned it, and exclaimed in surprise, "The number of flaws all over its body is unbelievable..."

Unlike the dungeons, the monsters in Konosuba are somewhat weak.

This is probably because they live on vast plains and were not created to hinder adventurers.

Kazuma Sato, however, curled the corners of his mouth into a smile.

"That's perfect, watch me sneak up..."

The reins are effective within a 15-meter range; you need to get close to get a firm grip on them.

The [Stealth] skill, which allows one to conceal their presence and hide their form, is only available to Kobayashi and Sato Kazuma.

After activating the [Stealth] skill, out of sight of others, Kazuma Sato, like a thief, held the reins he bought from the magic tool shop and crept stealthily toward the Flashing Running Lizard.

At close enough —

"Drink up! Bind!!!"

Kazuma Sato flung the reins toward his target!

The rope transformed into a black shadow, rushing straight towards the neck of the flashing running lizard at an incredible speed!

however--

Just as the reins were about to be placed around the neck of the shimmering running lizard, it suddenly turned and missed!

"what?!"

Kazuma Sato was taken aback.

The flashing running lizard was also startled and reacted.

"Hiss! Aaaaaahh ...

It roared at the crowd, its golden flesh spreading out as if to intimidate them, while its feet stomped on the ground and its speed increased, leaving a blur before it turned into a flash of light and fled!

"Whoa, it's disappeared?! Damn it, where did it go?!"

Kazuma Sato was startled.

He quickly looked around for the glittering running lizard, and then saw a female knight lying on the ground. He couldn't help but yell, "What are you doing, Darkness?! If you want to play around, at least consider the timing!"

The blonde female knight was now tightly bound, her slender, white neck secured by reins, while the remaining ropes were wrapped around her curvaceous, voluptuous body. The tortoise-shell binding further emphasized her lewdness.

The innocent Bell had never seen such a scene before, especially now that Darkness looked so much like Ais. He blushed and lowered his head, not knowing where to look.

Ais was also stunned for a moment.

She seemed surprised that the reins were on Darkness.

The female knight, lying motionless on the ground, cried out, "No, no! I don't know why either, it's definitely not my fault! Believe me...!"

Meanwhile, in Wiz's magic item shop.

A demon wearing a black and white mask suddenly slapped his forehead while sweeping, as if he had just remembered something, and said, "Oh dear! I forgot that the reins have a flaw: the target selected, besides the user, is the one closest to the user! ... But it doesn't matter, they caught the target in the end anyway."

Although he said it was a pity, his expression was so pleasant that it inevitably made people wonder if he did it on purpose.

After all, it is a demon that feeds on human emotions, and its favorite thing is to do things that make people unhappy.

Hearing his friend's despicable behavior, the lich Wiz could only put his hands together and silently wish Kobayashi and the others well, which was a kind of irony in itself.

Unaware of Barnier's malice, Kobayashi and the others rushed towards Darkness in a panic, hoping to help the female knight escape her bonds.

Even though they used the code words, the reins were never loosened. It was just like playing a highly sensual (S) game (M), where you've already said the keywords, but the other person, still in high spirits, still pushes hard regardless.

Not only that, while Darkness being tied up could be considered their mistake, the Flashrunning Lizard's return gift also fell from the sky. It really did fall from the sky.

Lily pointed to the sky and shouted, "Lord Kazuma, look up there!"

"Huh, up there...?"

While he was still in a daze, two huge black shadows descended from the sky.

"Quack quack—!" X2

"Eee ...

Kazuma Sato was utterly shocked.

Here it comes, here it comes, Kotobuki's specialty!

Huihui also said anxiously, "The situation is the same as when Hestia and the others came. Is it the Flash Running Lizard's doing?"

"Wow! What are all these big toads?!"

Hestia was so frightened that she couldn't move.

Although she is a goddess, she has never actually been to the dungeon except for the time she saved Bell.

In addition, apart from the dungeon, no monsters appear on the surface, so she never saw such a scene.

Kazuma Sato shouted, "Be careful! If you're careless, they'll eat you!"

"Aww!"

"Xiaolin, please save me..."

Amidst the sounds of a giant toad swallowing, one can hear the awkward yet faint plea for help from a certain foolish goddess.

Kazuma Sato looked over and saw that Aqua had already entered the giant toad's mouth. He couldn't help but spit out, "Has she already been eaten? You stupid goddess!"

Not only her, but Hestia was not spared either!

"Ugh!!!"

After a panicked cry, the twin-tailed blue ribbon goddess was also caught by the giant toad's lightning-fast tongue and swallowed whole in an instant!

Bell exclaimed in alarm, "Whoa! My Lord God!"

"Help, help me! I feel all wet, hot, and sticky, it's so uncomfortable...!"

Hestia cried out for help as she struggled inside the giant toad's mouth.

Aqua cried out for help, "It stinks! Help me!"

Well, their eyes, filled with both struggle and wisdom, truly befit two goddesses known as the "Three Idiots"!

That's so clever!

Lily quickly pulled a hidden dart from her backpack and said anxiously, "Oh no! We have to rescue them quickly!"

"Lily Luca, don't panic, be careful." Megumin reached out to stop her, while sharing her experience: "The giant toad won't swallow you right away, so you have to wait for the right moment."

"Is that so?"

“That’s right. I’ve had that experience too, so I know it well. But the premise is that they’re not very hungry…”

This hardly qualifies as a piece of experience!

Although it was only a few words, it revealed a great deal of information.

Lily looked at Huihui with suspicion.

For some reason, she always felt that the other person was also often swallowed into the belly of a giant toad, which was why she knew so much about him.

Meanwhile, the goddesses were still calling for help.

Hestia, now swallowed whole in the chest, cried out to the onlookers, "Quick, quick, save me... glug glug glug..."

As if it were her last words, the giant toad swallowed her whole in one gulp.

Aqua cried out in alarm, "I'm going to be swallowed! I'm going to be swallowed! Today is different from usual... glug glug...!"

Then she was swallowed up too.

At this moment, Huihui shared her experience with Lily, saying, "Look, this is what happens when they're hungry; they're quickly swallowed."

"Is this the time to talk about this?!"

Lily was completely speechless.

In this emergency, why is the archmage in front of us still so leisurely?!

"My Lord God!!"

Bell yelled and rushed forward, quickly rescuing Hestia and Aqua. Unlike Kobayashi and the others who were just watching, he was the true hero!

……perhaps.

Under the sun's rays, the goddess with twin ponytails and blue ribbons, her body translucent and radiant, knelt on the ground, muttering in a hysterical voice, "Waaah! I'm all sticky. Bell, I've been defiled...!"

Obviously, being licked all over by a giant toad is something a virgin goddess cannot accept.

Little did she know that a certain perverted female knight, who was tightly bound, was looking at her with envious eyes.

Bell quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, Your Majesty, it's all my fault for not protecting you properly..."

"It's alright, Belle, I forgive you."

Hestia gave a weak reply.

The incident happened so suddenly that not only she and Bell didn't react in time, but even Kobayashi and Sword Princess Ais didn't move. Besides, given their personalities, they couldn't very well take their anger out on their beloved familia. They had no choice but to bear the consequences themselves.
