I love time travel the most!

"Ah, you mean the hangar that Sylvia destroyed? It's alright. It's a little heartbreaking to see it destroyed, but it's better than being wiped out."

"Haha, really? That's good."

Xiaolin's smile became even more genuine.

Youyou behind her covered her cheek.

"By the way, Youyou," the Crimson Demon Clan Chief turned to her daughter and said, "Don't go back to Crimson Demon Village for now. Just stay in Axel and live a good life."

"why?"

"Because our house was demolished."

"Being pushed down means..."

"Oh, that! Actually, when I found out that Sylvia had taken over the Magician Killer, I immediately demolished our house. You see, rather than let the Demon King's army take over, I'd rather destroy the Scarlet Demon Village myself! ...Don't you think that's a great idea?"

"Not at all!"

Youyou never expected that just being a little late would result in losing her home.

The other Crimson Demons echoed in agreement:

"Me too. When the clan chief announced on the radio that we should destroy our home, I used a superior magic spell to destroy it without hesitation."

"And me and me."

"The Crimson Demon Clan who have left their homeland... Don't you think that's a cool title?"

"Back then, I was full of sorrow as I delivered the famous line, 'My home has been destroyed, and I have nowhere to go!'"

"Oh, you know a lot!"

They discussed it animatedly.

It didn't seem like they wanted to rebel; it was more like they were deliberately playing around and thoroughly enjoying themselves.

Kazuma Sato couldn't help but complain, "Is it really necessary to save these Crimson Demons? It seems they'd rather leave their homeland than defeat Sylvia."

Huihui seized the opportunity to say, "That's just how the Crimson Demon Clan are. That's why I said I'll always remember you all."

real or fake?

To go to such lengths for the sake of being a chuunibyou (a person with delusions of grandeur)... Well, it's not surprising that the Shadow Lord would go to such extremes to become a Shadow-level powerhouse. Chuunibyou is ingrained in the bones of the Crimson Demon Clan.

Only leisurely.

The only normal girl in the Crimson Demon Clan, who had made a huge sacrifice, covered her cheeks and sighed deeply.

"—What exactly did I protect?"

No one could answer the girl's question.

Incidentally, this is also a famous line.

On the other side, Huihui also said goodbye to her family. Because they were quite far apart and it was a whispered conversation, Xiaolin only heard Ms. Weiwei say something about trying her best to win her over and not being shy, but she didn't know what it meant.

"Well then... everyone from Scarlet Devil Village, I look forward to seeing you again next time."

This is no polite remark. There are many other good places in Crimson Demon Village, but this time the harvest was huge, and it would be easy to be exposed if we made a move during a period of turmoil, so we had no choice but to return home.

He waved his hand.

Without needing the teleporter's help from Scarlet Devil Village, Kobayashi used [Dimensional Array: Shangri-La], and a purple light array enveloped everyone before they disappeared from Scarlet Devil Village.

"Home is definitely the most comfortable place! I don't want to travel far for the time being! To be honest, asking me, a homebody, to travel is a mistake!"

Kazuma Sato said this while lying on the sofa.

Returning to his long-missed mansion, he felt at ease because of the comfort of home.

This man, who clearly looked forward to experiencing thrilling adventures when he first arrived in this other world, is now saying such things.

"Sato-kun..."

"Listen to me, Kobayashi-senpai! I won't get involved in any more trouble! No matter who comes crying and begging me, I'll send them back!"

Kazuma Sato looked down at his hands, his expression filled with a certain obsession.

He recently went out twice in a row, which is quite strange for someone who is a natural homebody.

Besides, he recently finalized a business deal with Barnier, and with Mr. Piaosaburo's plan in place, he'll soon receive a large sum of money. He doesn't want to travel far again anytime soon.

No, it's better not to step out of the mansion for now.

Staying at home and truly making up one's mind.

Aqua blinked and said, "Kazuma, really, you're already showing your useless side right away. But for some reason, seeing you like this makes me feel relieved, like I don't have to work hard either."

Oh, I forgot, that silly goddess is also a complete shut-in. With Kazuma Sato around, she'll quickly learn to be quite the part.

Darkness admonished, "Aqua, you're only feeling safe because you see your own kind! Don't follow him into depravity, don't take him as a role model, but as a negative example!"

"And you're talking about me? You were completely useless from beginning to end, weren't you?"

After being told something rude, Kazuma Sato chose to retaliate.

This statement is biased.

On their first day of sightseeing, it was Darkness who stopped Sylvia, preventing the Demon King's army from invading and protecting Mimi. As for the battle before the forbidden area, apart from Kobayashi, they were all pretty much useless.

When Youyou returned, she hugged her knees, looking utterly hopeless, and huddled in a corner, muttering things like "maybe we should just destroy everything," which could be misinterpreted.

Huihui, unusually, ran over to comfort her best friend, hoping to help her recover from her breakdown.

Aqua, unusually, did not join the argument or retort to Kazuma Sato. Instead, she squatted down next to Kobayashi, and the two of them were fiddling with something together.

"Hey there, Kobayashi, hurry up! I can't wait! It's not this one, it's the one in front!"

"Sorry, I'm not very familiar with this."

"Really, let this experienced goddess guide you properly."

"Ah, it's up to you, Aqua."

A magical statement that sparks the imagination.

Darkness blushed, panting heavily, lost in her own thoughts.

Kazuma Sato came closer and saw that the two of them weren't doing anything naughty at all, but were fiddling with the game console they had brought back from Scarlet Devil Village.

"What are you doing?"

"Sato-kun? Actually, Aqua and I were fiddling with a game console, but I've never played one before, so I don't know how to do it."

"Really? Such a famous game console, doesn't Senior Kobayashi know about it?"

"I know, but this game console is very old, and my family was poor when I was a child, so I never played it."

Kobayashi said it very casually.

Kazuma Sato covered his mouth, his eyes filled with pity, and said with great sadness, "I see... Kobayashi-senpai, you had a meaningless childhood."

"Exactly, exactly, Kobayashi's childhood was completely meaningless."

Why do you two have to say that to me?!

Aqua's immediate agreement made Kobayashi roll her eyes.

“Hey Sato-kun, life isn’t just about video games. There are other things that cultivate our character and are worth our attention. My childhood wasn’t boring or dull at all.”

"Ah, yes, yes."

"Besides, didn't everyone spend their time like this before video games were invented? How is it meaningless? You should apologize to those who were born early."

"Ah, yes, yes."

"Besides, it's not like I've never played video games before."

"Oh right, right... what?"

Kazuma Sato was focused on Aqua, praying that the game console Aqua brought back would work, and he kept giving perfunctory answers to Kobayashi's explanations.

Except for the last sentence.

"Senior Kobayashi, you said you've played video games..."

"Little Tyrant!"

"what?"

"Haven't you heard of it, Sato-kun? The Little Tyrant is endlessly fun!"

"I'm sorry, I don't understand what you're saying at all."

Kazuma Sato had dead fish eyes.

It's understandable that he didn't know, after all, Little Tyrant's past wasn't something to brag about.

However, Xiaolin felt the most sincere gratitude towards the Little Tyrant. Thanks to it, he was able to play fun games at a low price, understand what the ninth art was, and open the door to a new world for him.

"Aha……"

Kazuma Sato couldn't understand what Little Tyrant was, but seeing Kobayashi's demeanor—a hundred times more devout than when facing Aqua, and absolutely unwilling to allow anyone to desecrate it—he understood how much of a place it held in Kobayashi's heart.

"Let me say no to that first!"

He turned his head and looked at Aqua, who was still fiddling with the game console, and became a little anxious.

"Aqua, are you done yet?!"

"Right now!"

"If you can't do it, then get out of the way. I'm a seasoned gamer; repairing game consoles is a piece of cake for me!"

"Almost done! Don't rush me, you idiot Kazuma!"

Seeing their joyful antics as they fought and bickered over the game console, Kobayashi saw a reflection of his own childhood in them.

Back then, he and his friends would fight over game consoles like that.

I really miss it.

It wasn't until the familiar music started playing that Xiaolin snapped out of her nostalgia.

"Alright! Alright! That's great!"
