I love time travel the most!

They did not leave after the meal.

Piao Sanlang kept pulling Xiao Lin aside, asking her about the detailed process of making prank props and how to sell them.

To be honest, these are not things that Xiaolin is good at.

Unfortunately, he couldn't resist Piao Sanlang's excessive enthusiasm, holding his hand tightly and refusing to let go, so he had no choice but to patiently accompany him.

However, Kobayashi underestimated himself.

He thought he had run out of new ideas, but his casual remark opened a new world for Piaosaburo, and countless whimsical thoughts burst forth in the dilapidated stable.

"So, Mr. Kobayashi intends to classify magical artifacts as toys?"

"Yes. It's best used for harmless pranks."

"Then novelty is really needed."

“Mr. Piao Sanlang is right.”

Even if the props they make are bizarre, they are still master craftsmen and can grasp the key points instantly.

No matter how bizarre or not a magical item is, if it can be used, it's a good magical item.

Unlike prank props, which are categorized as toys, this item's combat function is eliminated from the outset, thus greatly amplifying the desire to buy it—its novelty.

They frequently release novel toys.

This is quite a challenge for Piao Sanlang.

"Don't worry, how many magical artifacts do you think I've made by now?"

Seemingly sensing Kobayashi's worries, Piaosaburo was quite confident.

They're clearly just a bunch of junk and bizarre magical artifacts, but he talks about them as if they were rare treasures. No wonder he's a Crimson Demon; he's got a really stubborn mouth.

Xiaolin just smiled and didn't expose him.

After all, he was his companion's father, so some face had to be saved. Even though he wrote a letter to scare Youyou's father, he didn't do anything, did he?

Unlike Piao Sanlang, who focuses on creative work, Huihui's mother, Weiwei, is more concerned with sales.

"Making it is no problem, but how do we sell it?"

Her tone carried considerable worry.

This has been a long-standing problem for them.

Production is important, but sales are even more important. Otherwise, failing to recoup costs will affect subsequent research and development, which is also the main reason why Huihui's family gradually became poor and destitute.

"Please rest assured, Ms. Weiwei, I have professional sales channels."

Xiaolin was confident.

They immediately told them about Axel and Wiz's magic item shop, which they had a cooperative relationship with.

Barnier might be disgusted, after all, they are a magic tool shop, not a toy shop, but what if Kobayashi told him that he would be happy to cooperate with them to open another toy shop?

You don't need to spend any money; you can hire them yourself and even give them half of the profits.

I imagine that greedy devil would agree without hesitation.

Besides making money, it can also alleviate the shop owner's habit of spending money recklessly and buying everything.

"As for whether the Axel starting village agrees to sell prank items, please don't worry about that. I still have some connections."

My female knight is the lord's daughter; a few words from her and she can open a shop.

At worst, we can just hand over a portion of our profits.

There's nothing to feel bad about; we're all family anyway, it's just a matter of passing the money around.

"Moreover... it's not just the starting village of Axel. To be honest, I also have a few connections in Alcanredia."

"Alcanredia? Could it be that famous spa town?"

"Yes, we've actually been there before."

This can be inferred from the fact that they gave us hot spring sweet buns as a souvenir.

Just as the hot spring town was about to experience a huge surge in popularity, how could he not ride this wave?

Whether Jesta would agree was completely outside his consideration, because it was obvious that as long as Aqua's name was mentioned, she would be eager to help sell it, even for free.

"Is it is it!"

Piao Sanlang nodded repeatedly.

He tried hard to appear composed, but the upturned corners of his mouth were harder to suppress than an explosive spell; it was clear how excited he was.

Ms. Weiwei smiled gently and naturally.

However, the satisfied look in Xiaolin's eyes as he smiled made him feel a little uncomfortable.

"The start-up capital..."

"I can probably come up with 5 million Eris."

"550 million...?!"

Piao Sanlang's voice trembled.

It seems he didn't expect so much. He probably thought he would only put out a few hundred thousand to test the waters, and at most a million.

Kazuma Sato misunderstood.

Having witnessed how expensive magical items were at Wiz's shop, and being used to spending money lavishly, he assumed that Piaosaburo thought 5 million Eris was a bit low, so he spoke up:

"Soon I will also have 3 million Eris in my account, and if that's not enough, I can contribute more."

"3300 million..."

"However, if we were to sell the equipment that Senior Kobayashi has collected, we could probably get 10 billion Eris. The most expensive one is that mecha set, and many people have offered incredibly high prices for it."

"—?!"

The couple, Piao Sanlang and his wife, have completely lost their minds.

Kobayashi sensed something was wrong, grabbed his shoulder, and said with a sinister smile, "Sato-kun, I felt something was off when we were fighting the orcs. How do you know the value of my collection? Also, didn't you do anything inappropriate with my prized mecha?"

"N-no... Oh!"

Kazuma Sato turned his head away, not daring to look at Kobayashi's face.

Good guy!

I thought you were the most trustworthy kid, but I never expected you to dare to plot against those equipment. I feel a strange pang of heartache, like an old father whose treasured possessions have been stolen and sold by his foolish son.

Kobayashi's unease grew stronger.

"No, I need to go back to the mansion to take a look."

"A mansion?!" X2

The timing of Piao Sanlang and his wife's entry into the conversation was extremely clever.

"Mr. Kobayashi, the mansion is..."

"Because there are quite a few people in the team, we bought a mansion in Axel for convenience. It's nothing special..."

"Bought a luxury mansion?!" X2

The two cried out in surprise again, showing no intention of caring for their daughter who was still asleep.

Is it really necessary to be so extravagant about a mansion worth six million? ... He wouldn't say such silly things, at least not to Huihui's family who lived in a house that looked like a stable.

Kazuma Sato gestured with his eyes that he seemed to have said something wrong, while Kobayashi retorted that it was all because of his raised eyebrow.

After a very quick exchange of winks and eye contact.

Kobayashi stood up and said, "It's getting late, time to rest. There's no need for you to stay overnight; it seems your home can't accommodate so many people."

"Wait, Mr. Kobayashi, please stay here for the night!"

"Oh? I should have said it, your house can't accommodate so many people..."

"So please stay the night!"

Are you listening?

Weiwei pressed down on his shoulder.

The force he used was exaggerated, completely unlike the professional standard of a Crimson Demon Archmage.

"Mr. Kobayashi is my daughter's companion and friend, so it is only natural that we invite you to stay overnight. Please allow us to extend our hospitality!"

“Let’s do it this way! Mimi, you, Dad, and Mom will sleep in this living room tonight! The other three girls can sleep in our bedroom! But our house is so small, we only have the living room and our bedroom, and the rest is Huihui’s old room… It seems too small for the two of you to stay… Honey, why don’t we consider renovating it…”

They were exaggerating more and more, and I was really a little scared.

If Kobayashi gives in, they might actually do something like that in a moment of impulsiveness.

"No, no need... really no need!"

Kazuma Sato couldn't hold back any longer and quickly stopped the two of them.

Unable to refuse Huihui's hospitable parents, they had no choice but to stay overnight.

Ultimately, it became Kobayashi, Sato Kazuma, and Hyouzaburo, who lived in the living room. Aqua, Darkness, Ryuu, and Yui lived in the bedroom, while Mimi shared a room with Megumin.

This is the most reasonable arrangement.

Soon it was time to go to bed.

Kobayashi, as the most honored guest, was the first to finish taking a bath.

Since Huihui's house is relatively small and doesn't have the large bathtub found in luxury homes, it's a little disappointing. However, with Liu Zi serving her, it adds a different kind of fun.

As soon as they stepped outside, they heard Darkness's furious shouts: "What a stupid thing you're doing! Don't you love your daughter at all? What you're planning is no different from throwing a lamb to the slaughter!"

Wait, could it be...?!

Kobayashi seemed to have sensed something.

He strode towards the living room, leaned against the thin wall, and peeked inside.

Aqua, Sato Kazuma, and the others, including Hyōzaburō, were all lying on the ground, fast asleep.

The group of people who were excitedly shouting before going to take a shower obviously couldn't have fallen asleep so quickly; there must be some reason.
