I love time travel the most!

"Yes, yes. It's inconvenient to use and it stirs up dust. I'm already in tears."

The idea that it might not work was quickly dispelled by Huihui's disheveled appearance.

Huihui scoffed, "Ugh, such an excuse. Fine, I'll just say it's because you're jealous."

"I wasn't making excuses!"

Ruan Huhu was troubled by Huihui's idea, but still reached out her hand.

"what?"

"I'll carry you on my back. You...you've helped me, I can repay this favor..."

The girl's cheeks flushed.

"Fighting alongside former rivals... Hmm, today's research was great." You Gou kept writing something in his notebook, looking quite satisfied.

Huihui pouted and said, "I didn't consider Ruanhuhu and Dongdonggu as rivals either."

"What? Huihui means you don't respect us?"

"...Who knows?"

"Wait, Huihui! You mean you really don't take us seriously? Give me a proper explanation!"

The three started playing around.

However, the others noticed that Huihui, who used to always call them by the wrong names, had somehow remembered their names.

This means that the relationship between the three of them has improved.

Kazuma Sato sighed and rubbed his forehead, "As a result, we've run into big trouble again today."

“This is much more meaningful than lazing around at home. Especially the goblins’ fierce attack, that feeling… was quite good.” Darkness’s cheeks were slightly flushed, and he closed his eyes as if enjoying the afterglow.

"Anyway, we've got our paychecks, so let's have some fun! Softie, Dongdonggu, and Yougouhui, you guys should come too!"

The carefree Aqua cheered and then invited the three Crimson Demon girls to a banquet.

She truly lives up to her title as the Goddess of Banquets; she seizes every opportunity to host a banquet.

Is it just the usual happy ending formula...?

Well, this is fine too.

The main character is offline for several chapters, then reappears in the next chapter, and causes a big stir.

Chapter 433 Link Start! Virtual Reality Game?

this day.

While the team members were lazily spending their days, they were forced to gather at a warehouse in the suburbs.

"Senior Kobayashi, what's the matter that you've called us here in such a hurry?"

"Hehehe—this is absolutely wonderful news! Sato-kun will be overjoyed!" Kobayashi said mysteriously when asked.

If Aqua and the others had said those words, Kazuma Sato would have left without a word or looking back. But if it was the reliable Kobayashi-senpai, he would have been happy to believe him and would have secretly begun to look forward to it.

"This place... I really miss it. That large mech that intercepted the mobile fortress destroyer is still sitting in the corner."

"It's a pity that it's become tattered because it was used too much. No, it's better to say it's proof."

"And Liu Zi's adjustment device is also here."

"Look here! I remember this hole. It used to be my room. Spring nights are so cold. I ended up sharing a bed with Kobayashi because it was so cold. Ah, maybe that's when I started the habit of sleeping with Kobayashi."

Aqua and the others ran around the warehouse, pointing at the nooks and crannies with nostalgic expressions.

Only Youyou looked completely puzzled.

"what are you guys saying?"

"Yes, Youyou doesn't know."

"Ah, speaking of which, Youyou joined the team after we moved to the mansion, right?"

"A woman who reaps the benefits without sowing."

The three of them started talking all at once.

"Wait, wait... Huihui, don't say such nasty things!" The naive Crimson Demon girl didn't understand why she was being criticized by her best friend and shouted angrily.

Huihui touched the somewhat dilapidated pillar and said softly, "Although life here is not easy, at least it holds our precious memories, so it still has meaning."

"...Huh, Huihui is actually reminiscing about the past, which is quite unusual for her?" Youyou asked in surprise.

She soon learned from Darkness and the others that the warehouse was originally their base, and they moved away after making a lot of money to buy a mansion.

Initially, the intention was to sell it to recoup funds, but the existence of the large mecha led to the postponement of this idea. Over time, it became a storage room for miscellaneous items and for adjusting Liu Zi.

"How wonderful, memories..."

Youyou was incredibly envious.

She had always envied and hoped to be able to participate in the ability to create memories... no, to be precise, to create meaningful things with friends.

Unfortunately, she didn't have many friends. Even her friends from the Crimson Demon Clan couldn't be considered fond memories due to the Crimson Demon Clan's unique chuunibyou (middle school syndrome).

Aqua said cheerfully, "Don't be so discouraged, Yuyu, aren't we creating memories right now too?"

"Yes, yes...hehe..."

The girl gave a slight twitch at the corner of her mouth.

I really wanted to agree with what the other person said, but after racking my brains to recall something, I couldn't come up with a single memorable or meaningful thing. Instead, all I could think of were my many tragic and miserable experiences, which were no different from those in the Crimson Demon Clan.

Kobayashi suddenly spoke up: "Creating meaningful memories with friends...? Well, maybe this thing can help. Come with me."

He led everyone to the center of the warehouse.

Since no one needs to live here, all the rooms were demolished, which freed up a considerable amount of space.

In the spacious area, there was a large object with a metallic sheen, and small red and green lights were constantly flashing on it.

Below it, several black threads connect a strange hemispherical object.

It looks very high-tech overall.

Kazuma Sato, puzzled, asked, "Senior Kobayashi, what exactly did you call us here for? What are all these things? Can we get to the point?"

"Don't rush, Sato-kun. Good things should be savored slowly." Kobayashi handed him a black object and said, "First, try to guess what this is."

As the riddle was posed, the others became interested. They all crowded around, fiddling with the black, hemispherical, unidentified object in their hands. Because the center was hollowed out, it looked like a lid, but they didn't know what it was covering.

"Things brought from Scarlet Devil Village?"

"Could this be some kind of ancient magical artifact from somewhere?"

"I feel like I've seen this somewhere before."

Aqua and the others discussed it amongst themselves, but given their intelligence, even if given a few more days, they still wouldn't be able to guess what it was.

Although it's a little less fun, I'll still give you some hints to save time.

Kobayashi held up his index finger and said, "I'll give you a hint. These things were moved from the forbidden area of ​​the Crimson Demon Village. You can guess in that direction."

"The Forbidden Land of the Scarlet Devil? Isn't that that eccentric researcher? I always feel like the stuff he makes is unreliable. Besides, aren't most of his creations game consoles?... Wait, game consoles... Hiss—! Could it be...?!!!"

Kazuma Sato, whose mind works the fastest, seemed to have discovered something extraordinary, and his eyes widened in shock.

Incredulous, he looked at Kobayashi to ask for confirmation, only to find that Kobayashi responded with a smile, as if to say that his guess was correct.

"Hey, hey, hey, is this for real...? This is way too exaggerated... Just how scary is it to be able to create something like this...?"

"What's wrong, Kazuma? What do you mean, 'really' or 'fake'? Why are you so agitated? You look like you're an idiot who can't believe you know orcs don't have males! And don't hide it! I haven't even figured out what it is yet! Give it to me now! You're not allowed to keep it for yourself!"

Aqua's clear, big eyes revealed her foolishness as she forcibly snatched away what Sato Kazuma was carefully holding in his arms.

They belong to the type who know nothing but insist on joining in the fun and pretending to know everything.

This kind of person is the most despicable!

Annoyed, Sato Kazuma grabbed the idiot goddess's cheek with one hand and pointed at the huge, cold machine standing in the center with the other, shouting at her: "Hey you! This huge metal object with flashing traffic lights on it, and that thing that looks like a motorcycle helmet, don't you think of anything?"

"Hiss, does it look like that?"

"The console and VR headset, you idiot!"

Sure enough, he already guessed what it was; no wonder he's a modern person bombarded with information.

"The host and..."

"...VR headset?"

"what is that?"

Unfortunately, apart from Aqua, no one else present knew what it was or what its appearance signified.

Aqua realized what was happening, swatting away Kazuma Sato's mischievous hand. Looking down at the helmet she was holding, she asked, "Wait, Kazuma. You said it's a console and a VR headset... is it the console and VR headset I remember?"

"Probably so."

"real or fake?"

"Really. And it was made by Kobayashi-senpai."

The two of them turned their heads at the same time and looked over.

"Kobayashi, are you a goddess?!"

"You're the goddess!" Kobayashi rolled her eyes, explaining, "Besides, I didn't create this thing. Have you forgotten? I just assembled this thing that came from the forbidden area of ​​Scarlet Devil Village."

"Assembled?"

"Hmm. It's probably because there wasn't time to assemble it, so it's been sitting there rusting, and it looks like it's never been used."

"Eh-that's it-"

Kazuma Sato uttered a vague sigh.

“Ah, it’s true.” Aqua flipped through the old notebook in her hand, explaining to everyone as she read, “It says that it was taken away forcibly because they were making a nation-destroying heavy machine, so there wasn’t time to use it. By the way, this big one is called an integrated processor, and this motorcycle helmet-like thing is called a virtual full-dive helmet… It’s really impressive how they use such specialized terms.”

"I never knew that was the case! And you still have that notebook with you? Don't you find it troublesome?"

Kazuma Sato couldn't help but complain. He only just realized that the silly goddess also had hamster-like abilities, always carrying strange things with her.
