I love time travel the most!

"Hey, let me play for a bit! That thing should be kept safe by me, the player!"

"If you want me to lend you this, you'll have to pay a hefty price! Specifically, you'll have to clean my bathroom for the next week!"

"Are you kidding me! ...Three days at most."

"make a deal!"

Even the transactions are so similar.

Does this mean that no matter which kingdom or even the world is different, there will still be such simple transactions as helping with homework, cleaning the bathroom, and washing socks?

"Alright, alright, you two stop arguing."

"Kobayashi (senpai)?" x2

“Things like this that disrupt team harmony shouldn’t exist. Here, let me keep them safe.”

"Kobayashi (senpai)?!" x2

Clearly, Kobayashi's plan failed.

Even if he were the team leader, it would be impossible for him to abuse his power for personal gain, let alone with Aqua and Kazuma Sato, two problem children who are possessive of their food, as they would never hand over the game console.

With no other option, Xiaolin had to return to his garbage dump.

Most of the magical gadgets brought back from the Scarlet Devil Village were misshapen and would definitely lead to legal trouble if sold; they were incredibly peculiar game consoles.

However, this is another world, and I can't control him anyway, so it doesn't matter.

Thank you, bald researcher.

Although it was wrong to misappropriate the kingdom's research and development funds to manufacture game consoles, he was the ultimate beneficiary, so he accepted it with gratitude.

Whether it was bad luck or some other reason, Kobayashi ultimately failed to find a usable handheld console.

However, he discovered something else that was a million times more interesting than a handheld console. It just seemed to have some issues; it looked like a work in progress and needed some minor improvements.

Looking at the few people still vying for the game, Kobayashi sighed slightly.

Darkness and Megumin joined in at some point, and it seems it will take some time to decide the order of the games.

These people are no longer of any use.

I sincerely pray that they'll be mindful of their actions and not break the game console in the struggle.

Kobayashi and Ryuko left the mansion.

Arriving at the team's original base, which had been converted into a warehouse and server room, they placed piles of magical items brought back from the Crimson Demon Village here.

"And this gun."

Place the electromagnetic railgun (tentative name) near the half-destroyed Kingdom Divine Machine.

Aside from the fact that it's unsafe to keep in the basement of the mansion, and there's a fear that Aqua might steal and sell it, this weapon is incredibly powerful. Kobayashi plans to use it in conjunction with the mecha, and he's sure it will unleash tremendous power.

He looked at the piles of magical artifacts with great satisfaction.

This time the harvest was quite fruitful; they practically emptied out the entire forbidden area of ​​the Crimson Demon Village.

There was also a reward for defeating the Demon King's army officer, Sylvia. After returning to Axel, the reward was handed over to the Adventurers' Guild. According to Miss Luna, the bounty would be issued after confirming with the kingdom, and several hundred million Eris would be deposited into the account.

He's incredibly wealthy.

...Even so, the super-rich still have to work, which is the hardest thing for them.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

night.

Xiaolin returned from the warehouse looking exhausted.

The mansion was quiet, but the presence of Kazuma Sato and his friends was still lingering, so it seemed they hadn't gone out drinking.

That's true. After experiencing so much in the Crimson Demon Village, now is the time for them to rest and recuperate. I doubt they have the energy to go out and have fun.

After taking a shower.

On my way back to my room, I ran into a little girl standing at the door.

"Megumin?"

"It's too late, Kobayashi."

"Sorry, sorry, I'm going to sleep now."

He opened the door with a face full of apology.

Xiaolin lay on the bed, and Huihui also crawled into the quilt, naturally taking Xiaolin's arm as a pillow and resting her head on his chest.

Goodnight, Kobayashi.

Goodnight, Huihui.

...Wait a minute! Why is Huihui sleeping with me?

I don’t know if it was because I had gotten used to it, but I was too relaxed and didn’t realize anything was wrong until I realized that I was back in the mansion.

"Huihui, Huihui. Go back to your room and sleep, Huihui."

"Hu-hu-"

No matter how softly Xiaolin called out, the little girl didn't respond; all that could be heard was her faint breathing.

"She actually fell asleep? Was she too tired? Oh well, I'm tired today too. Goodnight, Huihui."

Exhausted, Kobayashi closed her eyes.

The little girl, with her eyes closed, gently raised the corners of her mouth, shifted her body slightly, and leaned closer to Kobayashi's chest.

I gradually fell asleep after hearing the steady heartbeat.

Chapter 429 The Orcs Attack Again, Sato Kazuma Muzan!

Hehehe, hehehehe————

In Axel, inside a suburban mansion, a forced, eerie laugh echoed. To be precise, it came from Kazuma Sato's room.

He was alone in his room, a strange smile on his face, looking at the flyer he had received. The flyer had a few words written in large pink letters.

—A big giveaway from the Succubus store!

Pink, cute font, succubus, flyer—these words alone were enough to make his heart flutter.

His expression became incredibly subtle.

"The succubus shop's special treatment... hehehehe—although the cost is several times higher than before, you'll soon be rich and don't have to worry. Now is the time to seize the opportunity and grit your teeth."

Barnier's promised earnings would take some time to materialize, and he didn't have much pocket money.

"Did it just happen to happen at this particular time?"

Kazuma Sato clenched his fists and began to calculate how many days he would have to eat dirt.

What? You're saying I'd rather starve than not go shopping at a succubus store? Isn't that obvious?!

The succubus shop's special treatment is like a limited-time gacha pool in a card game. If you miss it, you'll never see your waifu again. At this point, you'd be willing to risk everything, even eat slime, instead of going broke!

"Tsk. Should I borrow some money? I feel a little unsatisfied if I only do it once."

"One shot? You mean explosion magic?"

"Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!"

Kazuma Sato, lost in his own thoughts, was startled when he heard someone talking to him and screamed on the spot.

"Hui, Huihui, you, you, you at least knock on the door!"

"We called out several times, but you didn't respond."

Aqua looked at Kazuma Sato with a worried expression.

Not long ago, I was fighting with them over the game console, but since last night I've been staying in my room and won't come out. I don't know if I'm sick.

Darkness also worriedly said, "I think I also heard a very evil laugh... Hmm? What kind of flyer was that, Kazuma?"

"Nothing special, don't worry about it!"

Kazuma Sato quickly stuffed the flyer into his pocket, not wanting to be looked down upon by his companions because of its contents. However, his abrupt action had already attracted the attention of others.

"So suspicious."

"Not suspicious at all. By the way, what do you want? Why did a bunch of you barge into my room?"

Instead, they blamed others. It was an abrupt change of topic, but it worked well on them.

Darkness explained, "We have a guest visiting, and Lynn seems to have something she wants to ask us."

"Lynn?"

Lynn, a regular mage, is actually quite famous in Axel, for the reason that... her companion is Dust. That's right, Dust, who, along with Kazuma Sato, is known as one of the two most notorious villains in Axel.

A few people, unaware of what was going on, came to the living room.

After a brief conversation, it was learned that Duster had gone out on a mission and had not returned for three days.

Lynn sighed, "That's how it is. I hope you can help us find Duster."

"Three days...that's really worrying. I hope he wasn't hurt."

This world isn't as harmonious and joyful as it seems on the surface; one wrong move and you could really be sent flying to meet Eris. I asked instinctively.

"By the way, what mission did he take on?"

"To subdue the orcs outside Axel."

"Huh?!?!?!"

Kazuma Sato immediately cried out in surprise.

His chest heaved rapidly, his face was filled with fear, his body trembled uncontrollably, and he looked down at his palms, as if there was still a lingering, nauseating feeling of licking.

"Alright, alright...! Aqua, Darkness, Megumin, it's your turn."

His voice began to tremble.

This man decisively chose to escape.
