I love time travel the most!

Kobayashi also began to look forward to it.

My inner confusion has been resolved, and I'm even more skilled than before, so it would be a lie to say I'm in a bad mood.

When we get back, we can target those problem children with our spells too.

"Speaking of which, where did Miss Wiz go just now?"

"Oh, actually I just went to restock! Berserk Magic Potions, Purification Potions, Strength Potions, and Speed ​​Potions—they're on huge sale this time! They're going to sell like hotcakes, they're absolutely going to be a bestseller! Trust me!"

"……What did you say?"

This time, not only Kobayashi, but even Barnier's body stiffened. Their necks were like rusty robots that hadn't been lubricated, turning their heads in disbelief as they looked at Wiz.

However, the lich girl remained oblivious to her surroundings, speaking smugly as if she had gotten a great deal.

"May I ask, how much did Miss Wiz spend on these potions?"

"2000W Eris".

"Idiot store manager!"

Just as Wiz held up two fingers and uttered the astonishing number, a destructive ray powerful enough to kill shot out from Banir's eyes and struck the lich in the back. The lich screamed in agony and collapsed to the ground, her body turning completely black.

Okay, the mystery is solved.

No wonder Wiz ended up in such a miserable state; he brought it all on himself.

Xiaolin covered her forehead.

Besides his own family's problem children, Wiz is also a complete problem child.

The magic item shop wasn't making money, purely because of her haphazard stocking. Even Barnier's arrival didn't improve the situation, which shows just how extraordinary Wiz's talent is.

"Didn't we warn you not to buy goods haphazardly?! Why, why!!!"

Barnier angrily reprimanded the lich girl.

Aside from Aqua, who infuriates him at the mere sight of her, only Wiz can provoke him to such anger.

He had no way to deal with the shop owner who repeatedly refused to change his ways.

He might accidentally buy some random things, but he can't keep his eyes on Wiz all the time. What should he do?

I might as well break away and work independently; at least the progress bar for achieving my goals will fill up faster that way.

The Duke of Hell couldn't help but think this.

"You've had it rough enough."

"Since you think we're so miserable, why don't you hurry up and marry Wiz? You don't mind having one more or one less, do you?"

"Don't just sell them off like that. Besides, taking them back will only make Aqua bully them. Let's just forget about it."

Barnier's offer was very tempting.

It's a pity that Wiz didn't awaken that kind of consciousness, otherwise her teammates wouldn't have been so disappointed as to marry another companion.

"That's it for today."

Seeing that it was getting late, Kobayashi took out a check with a huge sum written on it and handed it to Barnier.

"Here you go, the promised payment."

“Thank you for your patronage!”

The greedy shop assistant accepted the check with the utmost gentlemanly manners.

To get the Duke of Hell to answer your questions, you'll need to offer something of value in exchange; talking about feelings with a demon is a joke.

Fortunately, Barnier was greedy and had no resistance to being bribed with large sums of money, which allowed Kobayashi to buy the other party's time.

Things that can be solved with money are simple things.

At that moment, the door to the magical artifact was pushed open, emitting a pleasant bell sound.

"Welcome... Oh, it's you."

Barnier's enthusiasm was extinguished.

It turned out that the person who came in wasn't a guest, but Kazuma Sato.

"Senior Kobayashi, are you done yet?... Huh, what's going on?"

He was completely bewildered when he saw the lich girl lying on the ground, her body charred black. Kobayashi and Barnier sighed and told him what had just happened.

The three were once again amazed by Wiz's extraordinary talent.

"So, what's the matter for you all next?"

"Actually, we want to go to a hot spring."

The reason was that during Kobayashi's absence, Sato and the others had been doing missions and were already exhausted, and Kobayashi was also feeling exhausted in the other world, so everyone wanted to go out and rest to relax and relieve their fatigue.

The location is Alcanredia, a spa town famous for its healing properties.

That is, the stronghold of the Axis religion.

"Senior Kobayashi, Aqua and the others are ready, let's set off!"

Kazuma Sato urged.

Are you elementary school students looking forward to going on a field trip?

Since last night, Aqua and the others have been incredibly excited, making noise until almost dawn before finally going to sleep.

Now that Kazuma Sato has come looking for them, they're probably ready to set off.

Seriously, that's some serious energy.

"The matter has been resolved, let's go, Sato-kun."

"Wait a minute."

Just as the two were about to leave, they were stopped by Barnier.

They all turned to look at him without prior arrangement.

“You said you wanted to go to the hot springs, right? Then… let’s bring her along too.”

Barnier pointed to the charred lich girl.

This guy must think that Wiz is causing him trouble in the store, so he wanted Kobayashi and the others to take Wiz away.

How could a shop assistant treat the shop owner like this?

This is really...

"Senior Kobayashi, what should we do?"

"Since I've been asked to do this, I might as well take her with me."

This is really great!

Chapter 405 Please, stop spreading Dihua.

Kobayashi and Sato Kazuma headed to the agreed meeting point. Before they even arrived, Aqua saw them and began to complain.

"Too slow, Kobayashi! What are you dawdling about... wait, what are you carrying on your back?"

After glancing at Wiz, who was carrying a blackened body, his eyes rolled back, and who was unconscious, he explained his conversation with Barnier to everyone.

Surprisingly, Aqua, who despises liches, readily agreed. She probably felt no threat because Wiz was subordinate to her and could be easily manipulated, hence her quick agreement.

At this moment, Youyou reminded him, "Mr. Kobayashi, Miss Wiz seems to have become transparent."

"Oh, really! But don't worry, at this point we just need to help her recover."

"Stop it, you idiot Aqua! Your divine power will only backfire on the undead!"

Aqua rolled up her sleeves, ready to make a move, but was stopped by Kobayashi tapping her on the back of the head.

Why did Kobayashi not treat Wiz? Wasn't it because healing magic couldn't be used, and even potions and the like were useless?

But don't worry.

For liches who cannot use these spells, there is another useful and convenient spell.

—The touch of absorption.

However, Kobayashi's magic and physical strength could not be absorbed by Wiz, and Sato Kazuma was too weak to be of any use and would only weaken himself as well, so it was put on hold.

He immediately took the hand of the energetic female knight and used magic to steal Darkness's energy and transfer it to Wiz. The lich girl, who had turned transparent and was about to disappear, gradually became clear and finally regained consciousness.

"Mr. Kobayashi...? Huh, where am I?"

Wiz's memories are still lingering in the magic item shop, so he'll probably be confused if he finds himself here.

With good intentions, I covered up the incident at the store and sincerely invited her to go to the hot springs, which she happily accepted.

"Guests! We're leaving now if you're not getting on the bus!"

As adventurers, they could have chosen to be hired by a caravan as guards, but since they really didn't want to fight in case something happened, they opted to hire a carriage as passengers.

If you've already decided to relax, but you still have to fight during that time, how can that be considered relaxation?

In addition, due to the large number of people, only two horse-drawn carriages can be rented.

Kazuma Sato, Darkness, Aqua, Megumin, Yuuyu, Kobayashi, and now Wiz. Honestly, one carriage would have been enough. What blinded them to bring Wiz along?

However, when he saw Wiz's magnanimity, which far surpassed that of anyone else present, he immediately understood why.

"Alright! It's unavoidable that we'll have to travel separately by carriage, so let's divide into groups and play rock-paper-scissors."

Kazuma Sato rubbed his shoulders, looking like he was about to go into battle.

Is it necessary to take this so seriously?

Aqua voiced everyone's question: "I say, why do we have to play rock-paper-scissors?"

"Of course, it's about deciding who gets to share a ride with a stranger, or are you just bad at math?"

The obvious answer made everyone understand the current situation.

The team contains individuals with social anxiety and social phobia, both of whom are individuals who cannot be sent out alone, as this would either have a significant impact on others or on themselves. Therefore, how to allocate these individuals is of paramount importance.

"Sato-kun, let's go to another carriage."
