I love time travel the most!

"Eh----"

Upon hearing Xiaolin's words, he made a sound of utter disgust.

He understood that Yin Jiao was very unwilling, but he hoped that Sato Kazuma could seriously consider whether, among everyone present, apart from the two of them, the remaining problem children could really get along well with the others.

Kobayashi seemed to realize something, then a slight, seductive smile appeared on his lips as he said, "Sato-kun, maybe you'll have better luck going to another carriage."

"Where does good fortune lie..."

"Meeting a cute girl."

Kazuma Sato, who had initially resisted, immediately stopped talking after hearing this sacred and longed-for word.

"You see, even though fateful encounters always happen unexpectedly, if you always hang out with other people and never interact with them, you'll never have one, right? Even a child knows this, Sato-kun can't possibly not know, can he?"

"Yes, absolutely! I've been hanging out with these stupid women all this time, I have absolutely no luck with the opposite sex!"

Wait, is he serious?

When Kobayashi saw Sato Kazuma suddenly realize something and point at Aqua and the others, shouting, he wanted to tell him that even without Aqua and the others, he wouldn't be popular with women.

"Of course, there's a lot of luck involved, but Sato-kun is really lucky, so I think we can look forward to it."

"Who do you take me for! When it comes to luck, I'm not going to admit defeat!"

Sato Kazuma, who had a strong confidence in his luck, had fallen into delusion under Kobayashi's constant temptations. Without needing any further persuasion, he voluntarily walked towards another carriage.

He went off to find his own chance at love. I sincerely hope that face won't scare away girls or get him arrested as a pervert.

I prayed silently in my heart.

"Alright, you guys stay in this carriage. Sato-kun, Ryuu-chan, and I will go to the other carriage. Listen carefully, if anything unexpected happens, you're not allowed to do anything reckless!"

"I know, I know."

Something's not right. I suddenly felt uneasy.

Is this allocation method really correct?

Driven away impatiently by Aqua, the skeptical Kobayashi sighed and got into another carriage.

As soon as I arrived, I saw Kazuma Sato chatting with a cute young girl with black twin tails. From the content of their conversation, I could vaguely tell that they were telling their adventure story.

Although there's an element of exaggeration involved, girls love hearing these things, so what can you do?

To be honest, he originally just fooled Sato Kazuma, and he even had a plan for how to explain it, such as there are always bad days, the chances of meeting again next time are higher, don't give up, etc. He never expected that he would actually meet a girl!

Sometimes you have to admire people who are lucky.

Seeing that the two were chatting so enthusiastically, Xiao Lin did not rush forward to disturb them, but instead sat considerately on the outside of the carriage.

With the starting signal from the person in front, the convoy set off.

Besides the carriage they were riding in, several other carriages were also traveling in a procession along the road.

These carriages carried not only adventurers responsible for protecting the caravans, but also travelers and all sorts of goods.

If there are enough people and carriages, the weak monsters will run away on their own.

That being said...

"Senior Kobayashi, wake up! Senior Kobayashi!"

As Kobayashi was sound asleep with her head resting on Ryuu's legs, her body was suddenly shaken violently, and she heard Sato Kazuma's slightly anxious shouts in her ear.

He opened his blurry eyes and looked at his companion who had come closer, puzzled.

"what happened?"

"A horde of monsters!"

He anxiously pointed out the window.

Following the direction of his finger, Kobayashi saw a huge cloud of dust rising in the distance, moving quite fast and heading straight towards them.

"That's a monster called the High-Jumping Eagle Kite. They can't fly but have amazing leg strength. It's said that they have an instinct to find hard objects. Most importantly, they're currently in their breeding season and are conducting a courtship contest called 'Who's the Bravest?' which involves finding something hard and then swooping down on it in the most dangerous way. Senior Kobayashi, do you understand what I mean?"

"You mean to say that the birds' target is us... or more precisely, Darkness?"

"Yes."

Kazuma Sato wore an expression that suggested he was on the verge of tears.

With his intelligence, he must have guessed that the carriage in front was carrying a female knight with a hardness comparable to Biademman ore.

So it wasn't proactive, but reactive after all!

So what's the point of having the instinct to find hard objects? Use that ability more for survival!

The unknown girl with twin tails instinctively grasped Kazuma Sato's hand and asked with fear, "Kazuma-san, are we in danger? But Kazuma-san is an adventurer too, right? He'll definitely help, won't he?"

"Well... with the accompanying caravan and adventurers for protection, there shouldn't be any problems."

"Won't Mr. Kazuma make a move?"

"I will take action, please rest assured! With the adventurer Sato Kazuma here, I will absolutely not let you get hurt, Miss!"

The girl lowered her head in disappointment, and Sato Kazuma immediately took her hand and patted his chest to assure her.

The shut-in sadistic guy, who initially wanted to refuse, ultimately couldn't resist the beautiful girl's advances, forgetting his initial vow not to make a move, and turned into a hot-blooded, idiotic boy.

Perhaps sensing Kobayashi's disdainful look, the innocent boy began to defend himself, saying things like, "We caused this trouble," and "We have to clean up our mess." The carriage was filled with a cheerful atmosphere for a moment.

Before the two of them could make a move, Darkness and the others in the first carriage had already disembarked and were ready to fight.

There were no instructions from Kobayashi; Darkness simply wanted to experience being ravaged by a flock of birds.

This perverted female knight.

But there was no time to complain anymore; the flock of birds was already closing in on them.

The high-jumping eagle kite is a bird with the head of an eagle and a skeleton like an ostrich. It is faster than a horse and larger than a cow.

Upon seeing the female knight standing at the forefront, ready for battle, they not only did not slow down, but instead sped up considerably, charging straight toward their target.

The arriving guards and adventurers noticed something amiss.

"Hey! The monsters are charging towards that Crusader. That's a taunt skill that attracts enemies, right? He's not a guard, but the Crusader used that trick and lured all the enemies towards him."

"Look! That knight of the cross is facing so many enemies and he doesn't flinch at all! He's really... so brave!"

"She was just an ordinary passenger who paid the fare, yet she was willing to take such a risk. What a noble knight of the cross! I want to take her as my role model!"

The constant praise from adventurers around them made the shy Darkness blush, and left Sato Kazuma speechless.

Because everything is wrong.

She's not some virtuous knight-errant at all; she's a complete problem child with a terrible temper! You think she's helping to stop the raging flock of birds, but actually she just wants to experience the pleasure of being trampled!

—I'm really sorry.

Before the battle even began, Kazuma Sato had already silently apologized in his heart, and at the same time, a small flame was ignited within him.

"I said, 'Hard-blooded Knight'."

"Hard as a rock?"

"I heard they like to charge at hard things, so their target is your rock-hard muscles."

"Don't you dare say my muscles are rock hard!"

To say her body is stiff is a taboo for a female knight. Besides, she's still a young girl; such a description is inappropriate!

"It must be because my armor is made of a lot of adamantite, plus my defensive skills, that's definitely why they rushed at me... It's true, don't look at me like that! My body really isn't that tough! Kobayashi can vouch for that!"

"Who, who, who wants to hear you talk about this kind of thing, you idiot!"

In a moment of desperation to prove herself, the perverted female knight uttered an unexpected name, and Kazuma Sato's reaction was surprisingly innocent.

Although he had doubts, given his timid nature, he probably wouldn't bother to ask whether it was true or not.

Just then, an adventurer carrying a rope caught up. Under Kazuma Sato's gaze, he shouted, "We're adventurers too! We can't let you be the only ones in danger! I'll cover you! Watch out, Binding!"

This is a thief's skill.

The effect is to bind the enemy with ropes, restricting their movement.

The idea behind this move was probably to create an opportunity for Darkness, who could then take advantage of the situation to eliminate the fleeing flock of birds.

The perverted female knight rushed between the man and the high-flying eagle as if she were to cover for the monster in charge. She was immediately entangled by ropes, and in the blink of an eye, her hands and feet were bound. She fell to the ground like a maggot and kept wriggling.

The thief looked at her blankly.

Darkness, her face flushed, shouted in an excited voice, "How...how could this happen! I've been tied up right in front of the enemy! If this continues...I...I'll be ravaged by those monsters!"

So you've succeeded, haven't you?

Even Kobayashi couldn't help but sigh when he saw Darkness's impatient and ugly state.

More importantly, the man who unleashed the thief's skill cried out in anguish upon seeing the perverted female knight's predicament: "Could it be that you were worried I would become the target of those monsters after using the skill, so you took the blame yourself? I'm so sorry! I thought I could cover for your actions, but instead I've harmed you. Please forgive me—!"

Please, stop spreading Dihua!

This guy isn't as great as you think!

The more praise he heard, the more his heart pounded; knowing his true nature, he couldn't feel happy at all.

As the flock of birds drew ever closer to Darkness lying on the ground, the others couldn't bear it and closed their eyes. Some of the more timid female adventurers had already closed their eyes and let out soft cries.

However, to everyone's surprise, the lead high-jumping eagle flew over Darkness at high speed in a Fosbury Flop position, close to her, and then continued its sprint as if nothing had happened.

The monsters behind it followed suit, but with different postures: leaping, scissor-like, belly roll, and so on, all of which they passed before crashing into Darkness.

Without exception, none of them bumped into the perverted female knight.

"Is this some kind of way to keep me in suspense? This feeling of nothing happening at the crucial moment is kind of fun... Great!"

"shut up!"

The perverted female knight, unable to contain her desire, kept writhing her body, while Kobayashi pinched his brow, his head throbbing with pain.

They came out to relax and have fun, but now, apart from Darkness playing thrilling games, the others could only accompany her with trepidation.

"Enough! I'm in a hurry! So... die!"

Kobayashi stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers lightly.

Snapped--
