I love time travel the most!

Kobayashi's face turned bright red, and she was having immense difficulty breathing. No one had expected Aqua to be so strong!

What on earth is going on, you idiot goddess!

Lin cursed inwardly as he struggled to breathe, but somehow his body regained control.

Once able to move, the first instinct was naturally to create distance. But no sooner had one made a move than the goddess embraced him.

"Looks like it won't work."

She said something else.

Freya had been repeating "I love you" over and over, and Kobayashi had thought she was just a pre-programmed character, but now it seems that's not the case.

"Goddess Freya..."

"I love you, Kobayashi. If you can feel even a little bit of peace in my presence, my voice, or in these moments of contact like this, then please accept me and tell me you've tried. Because I will be your warmth."

The goddess is expressing her love.

A humble plea reached my ears.

Words were not sharp knives, but rather sweet honey that gently seeped in, spreading upwards and enveloping him, trying to make him succumb to them.

Faced with the overwhelming warmth and tenderness that threatened to drown them, reason finally held them back.

But there were cracks there too, and it sounded like they were slowly breaking.

"I'll help you. I will always support you, forever."

It wasn't that I was addicted, but rather that I was attracted.

Xiaolin reluctantly accepted this kindness.

------

"Hey, Aqua, why hasn't Kobayashi-senpai woken up yet?"

"I don't know either! I don't know why, but Kobayashi resisted my guidance!"

Kazuma Sato's complaints provoked Aqua.

She had already put in her best effort and was about to succeed, but in the end she was rejected.

Could it be that Kobayashi has really been kidnapped?

"In that case, there's no other way. We'll just have to kill Kobayashi, and then his soul will automatically go to Eris, and we can resurrect him later."

"Are you a goddess or a devil?!"

Kazuma Sato couldn't help but complain.

Aqua suddenly cried out in anguish, "I couldn't help it! I tried my best! If Kobayashi gets kidnapped... if she gets kidnapped... Waaaaaaah!!!"

"Don't cry, you idiot!"

Kazuma Sato was extremely disgusted.

While they were arguing, Kobayashi on the sofa gradually woke up.

"Well……!"

A murmur drew everyone's attention.

Kazuma Sato ran over quickly and shook Kobayashi's shoulder, saying, "Kobayashi-senpai, Kobayashi-senpai!"

Kobayashi opened his eyes.

But the next second, a murky, blackish presence filled his entire field of vision, startling him so much that he instinctively swung his fist.

“Puff—!”

Kazuma Sato, whose cheek was severely injured, was sent flying backwards at a 360-degree angle.

His eyes rolled upwards, and he fainted.

"Huh?" xN

Aqua and the others were stunned.

Allow me to compile some side stories about Freya, which will be released soon.

Chapter 349 The Goddess's Favor: A Blessing and a Curse

"So, you mean, Senior Kobayashi gained a new ability because you were accidentally startled by my approach? Is that right?"

"That's it."

"Is that so? Well, then there's nothing I can do... Did you think I would say that?!"

Enraged, Kazuma Sato grabbed Kobayashi's head with his left hand, then reached his right hand under his left and grabbed his left wrist, forcefully lifting it towards his chest.

This is the executioner's block, a place where one risks their life!

"Surrender! Surrender! Surrender!"

Kobayashi patted Sato Kazuma's arm.

At this moment, his head was being held tightly by the other person, his face turned red, and his breathing became slightly difficult.

It's not that he can't break free, but it's his own fault that Sato Kazuma was knocked unconscious by a punch, so let him vent his anger a little.

Moreover, this level of restraint is nothing compared to Aqua's pulling earlier. That suffocating feeling was so painful, it felt like her soul was being torn apart!

After a while of playful fighting, Kazuma Sato finally calmed down.

"Then, Kobayashi said what exactly is the new ability?" Huihui was quite curious, and stared intently into Kobayashi's scarlet eyes as she asked, "Also, who is Freya? Explain it to me quickly."

"I will, I will."

Kobayashi pushed her thin shoulders, trying to create some distance between them. He really couldn't understand why the little girl had such a strong sense of pressure.

Then he told them about Freya and his own speculations.

"You mean, that goddess who reached the pinnacle actually loves you?"

"……probably."

Xiaolin rubbed his temples.

In the past, he might have guessed that the other person was just playing around, and it wasn't impossible for him to lift the hem of a skirt when he met someone he admired.

Judging from the other person's current mindset, they are probably looking for a serious partner.

And the object of his affections was him.

Did you mistakenly believe that the other party was targeting Bell due to excessive overlap or other factors, leading to a misjudgment?

This explains Freya's strange behavior in the past.

Honestly, what have I done to deserve this?

"Xiao Lin must be feeling very proud of being favored by the goddess. Just look at the corners of your mouth that can't stop turning up."

"How could that be! By the way, Huihui, why are you always targeting me?"

The little girl's sharp words annoyed him.

From the moment she started, she acted out of character, even though she used to be uninterested in anything except [Explosion Magic].

"Besides, do you think I'm smug about being favored by Aqua? It's obvious she's just complaining too much!"

"Huh? Me? You're kidding, right..."

Aqua, who was caught in the crossfire, was stunned. She never expected that she would be disliked, especially by Kobayashi.

"They tried so hard, even using a lot of divine power to save people, but... but... Waaaaaaahh ...

The silly goddess burst into tears on the spot and then threw herself into Darkness's arms.

The caring female knight immediately comforted her, while also scolding, "Kobayashi, Aqua was also worried about you being unconscious and did a lot of work, so please don't blame her."

Aqua stopped crying and secretly glanced at Kobayashi. Her tearful, pitiful expression seemed to be saying, "Hurry up and comfort me."

However, Kobayashi retorted unhappily, "Strive? Does that mean try to strangle me? This idiot is holding onto my neck and won't let go, no matter how much I beg for mercy. Compared to Sato-kun, I'd rather accept Sato-kun's guillotine!"

"Uh... that's a bit much."

"Waaaaahh ...

Kobayashi's sharp words and Darkness's subconscious accusations caused the silly goddess to break down and burst into tears again.

Looking at Aqua, who was crying and sniffling, a hint of guilt flashed in Kobayashi's eyes.

It's really hard to say that rejecting her meant he was involved with another goddess. If I said it out loud, I'd definitely be called a scumbag. So all I could do was apologize and promise to make it up to her later.

Furthermore, Kobayashi hadn't expected Freya's affection to be so excessive; a slight misstep could lead to her being captivated by her allure. Truly, she was a goddess of beauty, where affection and danger coexisted.

But why?

It came so suddenly, without any warning, that he was caught completely off guard.

What exactly is it...?

For some reason, the image of a twin-tailed loli goddess appeared in Xiaolin's mind.

Is that you?!

It must be because she gained new abilities from Bell, and then boasted about them recklessly at the God Assembly, which is why Freya noticed something was wrong and became suspicious.

How could the inexperienced Hestia (the virgin goddess) possibly outmaneuver the battle-hardened Freya (the goddess of beauty)? Naturally, she was completely devoured.

The more I think about it, the more likely it is.

I never expected that my good intentions would lead me into such a predicament.

On the other side, Aqua was still sobbing, her pitiful appearance only intensifying Kobayashi's guilt. But the way she kept stealing glances at herself was both infuriating and amusing.

Kobayashi sighed and said, "Alright, alright, I don't dislike you."

"Really?"

"Really. Besides, if I really disliked you, I would have run off with another goddess long ago, so why would I come back?"

"Hehehe! I knew it!"

Aqua lunged at him.
