I love time travel the most!

As she explained, everyone understood that it was Kobayashi who had said that half-jokingly to comfort Ais and the others when she was feeling down because her attacks couldn't hit her after they left.

As for why she told her father this, it was because Lord Dustinis had always wanted her to give up her dangerous adventurer work, so from the past, whenever he had the chance, he would arrange for her to go on blind dates without her consent.

It wasn't until this incident that Darkness, in a fit of frustration, dragged Kobayashi out as a shield.

This way, they wouldn't be pressured into blind dates, nor would they have to end their adventurer jobs—killing two birds with one stone.

"So, Lalatina, you lied?"

"...I am so sorry, Father, but I still don't want to give up my work as an adventurer, and I don't want to be separated from my companions."

Even though his father sighed, Darkness still insisted on his own ideas.

This decision, which seemed somewhat willful to outsiders, was approved by her doting father.

"It's okay, Lalatina, you have a group of great friends."

Lord Dustinis felt gratified to see his daughter grow up and have a group of good companions.

"Lalatina, there must be a reason why you're staying here."

"Yes, Father."

"Is that so... then there's nothing we can do about it."

Lord Dustinis seemed to have been persuaded by his daughter, sighed helplessly, and said, "Then, Xiaolin, I entrust my daughter to your care. Please keep a close eye on her and make sure she doesn't do anything foolish. I beg you."

How could a father who loves his daughter not understand her thoughts, and how could he not be aware of the relationship between them?

They had clearly already guessed everything.

Since the other party has already said that, how can I, as a man, back down?

Kobayashi lowered his head and said, "Yes, Father (Darkness)."

“Haha, hahahaha!”

Lord Dastianis laughed again, a very happy laugh.

Then he got up and took his leave.

Everyone tried to persuade him to stay, but he declined, citing being too busy.

After all, the new lord will be taking over the mess left by the previous lord, and he will definitely be extremely busy for a while.

"Oh, right!"

Just as Lord Dustinis was about to leave, Kobayashi suddenly remembered something and whispered something in Aqua's ear.

"Eh----"

"Stop 'Eh—'! Think about Aqua carefully. He's not only Darkness's father but also the new lord. If I get on his good side, there will be many benefits! Even getting free high-class sparkling wine wouldn't be out of the question!"

"!!!"

Upon hearing that there was free premium sparkling wine, the silly goddess's eyes immediately lit up.

"Wait me a moment!"

Then, she turned and ran back to the mansion.

Kazuma Sato asked curiously, "Huh? What's wrong with Aqua?"

"It's nothing," Kobayashi replied, adding, "Lord Dustinis, please wait a moment, I have a gift for you."

"Gift?"

Lord Dastianis was somewhat puzzled, but waited a while after being begged.

Not long after, Aqua rushed out of the mansion again.

"Phew—! Here, this is a very powerful amulet that I put a lot of effort into making!"

She handed me a pendant.

The light blue pendant is crystal clear, with a glimmer of light flashing on it from time to time. A warm and gentle aura surrounds it, and its overall style is similar to Kobayashi's necklace.

"this is?"

"It's just a small token of our appreciation; please feel free to take it with you."

Xiaolin smiled but didn't offer any further explanation.

At this moment, Aqua stepped forward and, while presenting the necklace, said in a goddess-like manner, "In the days to come, may the goddess Aqua bless you and keep you free from illness, disaster, and curses."

"I'm sorry, my family has worshipped the goddess Eris for generations..."

"What did you say?!"

Lord Dastianis's insightful reply instantly infuriated the foolish goddess.

"Fine, you come here right now! I don't care if you're a nobleman or Darkness's father, I'll teach you a lesson!"

"Wait, wait, Aqua! Don't be impulsive!"

Holding back Aqua, who was about to roll up her sleeves and get physical, Kobayashi awkwardly explained, "I'm sorry, actually my high priest is a follower of the Axis religion, so..."

"I see. But I will accept Miss Aqua's kindness. Thank you very much."

Lord Dastianis accepted it anyway.

This time, the silly goddess's expression was a little better. Although she was still sulking and unwilling, at least she didn't yell that she was going to take action.

"Well then...see you next time."

"Yes, please take care."

The two parted ways outside the mansion.

Watching his father's departing figure, Darkness suddenly heard Megumin ask, "Darkness, if Kobayashi really proposed to you, would you say yes?"

"Probably not."

"Hey, why?"

After she finished speaking, she looked at her companion beside her.

Others were also very interested and turned their attention to it.

however--

"Because what I want is that feeling of being intimate with other women in front of me, constantly hoping for a response but never getting it, and sometimes even being used as an excuse for conversation... That feeling of being kept on the hook... It's so great!"

"Darkness?"

"Miss Darkness..."

"This freak is beyond saving."

The young lady remained as stubborn as ever, but fortunately her companions had gotten used to it.

Chapter 347 Cheongsam Sena

Humans are undoubtedly lazy.

This phenomenon is particularly evident after acquiring a huge amount of wealth.

If the lazybones is someone who works sporadically, then Kazuma Sato, Aqua, and others, including Kobayashi, are all moving in that direction.

In Kobayashi's words.

I've worked so hard for so long, can't I even enjoy myself?

Actually, this man only said that because he felt insecure without Liu Zi by his side.

In summary.

Today is another day for fun and enjoyment.

Kobayashi and Sato Kazuma arrived at the guild.

They weren't there to find a suitable task, but rather to see what new and interesting things were happening.

After all, as the place where information flows most freely, it brings a lot of fun and intelligence every day.

However, the most information recently has been about the new lord.

Darkness's father was originally a high-ranking nobleman in the town, and his reputation was already quite good, so the townspeople did not resent his appointment, but rather had high expectations for him.

However, the time has been short, and the impact has not yet been fully demonstrated.

"You've had a hard time. Are you alright?"

While Kobayashi and Sato Kazuma were gathering information, they saw receptionist Luna showing concern for someone.

Hmm? What's over there...?

The two of them looked over at the same time.

The woman's face was pale and haggard, as if from overwork. Yet, even so, her body remained ramrod straight, not slouching.

She is Sena.

Sena rubbed her temples, sighing wearily, "I haven't had much rest lately..."

With the new lord in office, she is quite busy as both the kingdom's prosecutor and the lord's deputy.

Not only do they have a lot of official business to handle, but they also have to maintain the town's security regularly.

To be honest, I'm already extremely busy.

Luna suggested, "How about we have dinner together tonight? We need to relax every now and then, right?"

"Thank you for your invitation, but unfortunately..."

Sena really wanted to agree, but her busy schedule forced her to reluctantly decline.

Luna misunderstood. Her expression brightened and her eyes sparkled as she exclaimed, "Ah, does that mean you finally have a boyfriend?!"

Huh? You have a boyfriend?

Kobayashi and Sato Kazuma, who were eavesdropping, looked at each other in bewilderment.

That kingdom prosecutor?

Sena, who is stubborn, old-fashioned, domineering, and doesn't like to listen to others, actually has a boyfriend?
