I love time travel the most!

Xiaolin waved his hand.

The lich girl always positions herself as the weaker party. Before anything even happens, she apologizes first.

but……

"Night patrol, huh?" he muttered, somewhat curiously. "Ultimately, is it really necessary for me to go along?"

"This is also part of the commission."

Wiz smiled, not showing any sign of disliking the job.

She seems quite energetic. I just don't know if it's because it's nighttime, or because the magic item shop is doing well and people are able to make ends meet.

"I think so too."

Kobayashi was charmed by her smile and asked in a relaxed tone, "Wiz has purified graveyards before, is it the same thing this time?"

“Yes! Guiding lost souls is also my duty.” Wiz clenched his little fist, making it clear that he would try his best.

Honestly, who is the real goddess?

The real goddess is now fast asleep in bed, while Wiz tirelessly guides the wandering souls.

"As expected of a witch."

"Witch?"

"A profession similar to a priesthood, but entirely performed by women."

"Aha……"

The timid lich girl tilted her head, her bewildered expression particularly adorable.

Kobayashi suddenly thought of a question: "But, do spirits really wander around like this?"

He always felt that Barnier had ulterior motives.

Unexpectedly, Wiz said, "Yes, there are many such spirits. Especially recently, ghosts have been wandering around Axel."

"It's actually true!"

"The world is full of life, and so do souls. Is there anything incredible about that?"

"That's not what I meant. It's just in case there are too many ghosts..."

Xiaolin patted his forehead in distress.

Too many ghosts would cause big trouble, and he was already getting annoyed by it happening every time.

"It's alright, Mr. Kobayashi!"

The lich girl reassured people, "Most of them are merely harmless ghosts that exist; only occasionally do mischievous ghosts possess humans."

I see, is this a fixed pattern?

"Besides, what happens if you get entangled with it? Does it turn you into a noisy, crazy monster?"

"Although there are no such powerful evil spirits, if one is possessed, it is necessary to cleanse the regret, remorse and obsession of these evil spirits."

"The goal is to help them attain Buddhahood."

Xiaolin nodded, but it didn't seem to bother him.

He's with Wiz now, and with the blessing of the Goddess of Foolishness, he shouldn't be possessed.

If he were possessed, he would immediately—

"what?"

What, what's going on?

My body suddenly became immobile.

The mind can think, hear Wiz's voice, and even feel the sensation of standing on the ground.

However, the body cannot be freely controlled.

Could it be...!

Just then, Wiz said, "They possess people when they are relaxed, and since they were all attracted by Lady Aqua, Mr. Kobayashi is, in a way, their target. Moreover, they cannot be purified by ordinary purification magic, so be careful when going to dangerous places."

Is this what they call possession?

I never expected to be the target of a ghost. That stupid goddess is always causing trouble in strange places!

"Mr. Kobayashi, what's wrong?"

"My body suddenly became immobile... even speaking was very difficult."

"Huh?! I just said I was possessed?"

"I'm sorry. But it's okay, I'll break free soon."

In a short while, Xiaolin's speech became fluent again.

She's supposed to be protected by that idiot goddess, yet she dared to possess him! She's asking for trouble!

"Wait a minute, what's this...?"

"Mr. Kobayashi, are you alright?"

Seeing his silence, Wiz became very worried.

Kobayashi shook his head and said, "I'm actually fine. Compared to that, it seems like I have someone's memory in my head right now."

"This is most likely the possessing spirit's regret. If this regret can be removed, the control can be ended."

Wiz explained at an extremely fast pace.

"That's what I said, but my body acted on its own!"

The possessing spirit probably knew its time was running out, so it immediately took control of Kobayashi's body after possessing him.

Then--

He grabbed Wiz and put his arm around her!

"Oh, Mr. Kobayashi?"

"The spirit possessing me seems to be a man who accidentally died before he could confess to the person he liked... It's an incredibly powerful force, an obsession with conveying his feelings to that person!"

That's terrifying!

He was clearly favored by the goddess, yet he still persisted.

Just how strong is this obsession?

"Indeed it is."

Unfazed by the embrace, Wiz agreed, "I sensed a different kind of spiritual energy emanating from Mr. Kobayashi. I understand. I will help you overcome this infatuation, so just consider me your lover..."

In the end, even the timid lich girl became a little shy, and a blush crept onto her fair cheeks.

“Wiz…”

Since Wiz has already agreed.

Moreover, this unwavering determination to confess, even at the cost of divine power, did indeed earn Kobayashi's approval.

Okay, I'll lend him my body for now.

After gaining control and holding Wiz tightly, the possessing spirit seized the opportunity to make a heartfelt confession.

"Ah, Alicia, my lovely Alicia! Holding you like this is my dream. I love you, I've loved you since I was little. Please let me hear your answer, okay?"

"Okay, I'd love to!"

Wiz responded with a slightly shy expression.

Confessing to her in Kobayashi's voice still made her a little nervous and shy; even though it was fake, her heart was still racing.

"Really?! Ah, how wonderful... Thank you, stranger."

Having received a definite response, the possessing spirit, as if finally freed from its obsession, thanked Kobayashi and Wiz before disappearing.

But Xiaolin clearly felt that there was a slight change in his soul.

It seems to have become more resilient.

Is this a way of expressing gratitude?

Kobayashi seemed to be deep in thought.

What brought him back to his senses was the soft, cool, and incredibly voluptuous body in his arms.

The lich's already exaggerated chest felt even more expansive when held in her arms, the pressure against her chest making it slightly difficult for Kobayashi to breathe.

The subtle fragrance emanating from Wiz's hair also gently stirred his mind.

Inhale—exhale—inhale—exhale—

Perhaps sensing Kobayashi's unusual behavior, the timid lich blushed slightly and whispered, "Um, I guess you'd better let me go..."

"Does Wiz know that I can move my body now?"

"Yes. The spirit was satisfied just now, said its thanks, and left."

"……Feel sorry."

Xiaolin was also a little embarrassed.

He never imagined that after gaining the ability to see through the essence of a soul, he would become so unable to control himself. But just as he was about to let go, he found himself unable to move again.

"Huh, huh?"

"What's wrong?"

Wiz realized something.

Xiaolin said apologetically, "It seems like I can't move my body again."

"Huh—, could it be that another spirit has taken the opportunity to possess Mr. Kobayashi's body?!" Wiz exclaimed in surprise.

I am so sorry.

"Really...!"

Amidst the coy and shy complaints of the timid lich, the two continued their activities from late at night until dawn.
