I love time travel the most!

"May I?!"

"Of course, we're friends..."

"Thank you, Youyou! You are my best friend for life!"

"hey-hey……"

Looking at the doll handed to her by her best friend, the little girl's eyes shone with an incredibly bright light, while seeing Huihui's overjoyed expression, Youyou couldn't help but let out a shy, silly smile.

...Never mind, as long as they're happy.

At this moment, Aqua pointed to the large doll inside the machine and said, "Kazuma, let's grab that big doll first! That way I'll acknowledge your skill!"

It's okay if you don't approve of me.

"Really? You lack confidence. I'm very disappointed in you, Kazuma."

"You won't fall for such a simple provocation. If you want it, catch it yourself."

Having already been fooled once, Kazuma Sato is now very rational and easily sees through the foolish goddess's scheme.

But if Kazuma Sato doesn't agree, Kobayashi will be the one who suffers.

Sure enough, after being rejected, the silly goddess tearfully threw herself into Kobayashi's arms, begging him to help her catch the big plush toy.

"Xiao Lin, Xiao Lin...!"

"Clothes, clothes, don't cry, don't cry!"

Xiaolin could clearly feel her chest getting wet, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't push her away.

Is it because of the virtual game that his superhuman physique wasn't replicated?

Finally, Darkness spoke up: "Alright, alright, you two stop fooling around. This is a rare opportunity, shouldn't we go check out somewhere else?"

I love mature older sisters the most!

Darkness's intelligence is always online as long as she's not in a dangerous situation, which allows her to easily lead the atmosphere.

"Yes, we're a bit tired from playing. Let's go outside and get some fresh air."

"Hey!"

Aqua immediately stopped crying, as if her crying just now was all fake, which made Kobayashi so angry that he really wanted to spank her and punish her.

But if I did that, not only would I be looked down upon by my teammates, but I might also be taken away by the guards. So I held back.

Enjoying the virtual space of TOKYO, the group, wanting to visit a tourist attraction, arrived in Odaiba at Aqua's suggestion.

"Unlike Shibuya, this is a quiet place. I can finally calm down."

They are currently near Odaiba.

Ahead lies the Rainbow Bridge, offering stunning views of the scenery and river, while behind them stands the Statue of Liberty.

Huihui asked curiously, "Is that huge statue some kind of goddess worshipped in this world?"

"No, it's something like a symbol of peace, though it's not really that peaceful," Kobayashi explained.

At this moment, several tourists gathered around the group on the riverbank.

"Time to film! 3, 2, 1...!"

"Peace! ...How are you feeling? How are you feeling?"

You could tell from their voices that they were taking commemorative photos, which is the most common way for modern people to record beautiful moments.

"Oh my, what are those people doing? Although their poses aren't very cool."

"They're taking commemorative photos. Speaking of which, it would be great if a guy and two girls, a typical 'normie' situation, were to end..."

Kazuma Sato glared at the three people in the distance with displeasure.

It's understandable that a shut-in boy who rarely goes out might harbor malice towards people who are popular, but this is a virtual space, and I completely don't understand the reason for his jealousy.

"What are you saying, Kazuma!"

Aqua jumped in and corrected him, saying, "Me, Megumin, Yuuyu, Darkness... Kazuma, surrounded by four beautiful girls, it's not impossible to say we're on a date."

"Being with you guys is no different from doing a mission normally, right?"

Kazuma Sato wasn't buying it at all, and even said, "Besides, Kobayashi-senpai is here too. Being with a group of handsome men and beautiful women, I always feel like I'm just a supporting character."

"Uh...then I'll leave?" Kobayashi pointed to himself.

"Honestly, that man!" Huihui rolled her eyes, dissatisfied with Sato Kazuma's words, but quickly added, "Instead of that, let's take pictures. It's a rare opportunity, so let's ask those people to take them for us! With that goddess statue as the backdrop, let's strike some cool poses!"

The little girl's eyes lit up.

Posing in front of the giant goddess statue and taking a souvenir photo is simply irresistible to the Crimson Demon Clan, who are full of chuunibyou (middle school syndrome)!

"Wow, don't pull me! Besides, there's no camera here—"

"Kazuma, something fell. It's... a stone slab? But it has a strange, slippery feel to it."

Darkness pointed to something on the ground.

"Huh, isn't this a smartphone? Was it in my pocket?" Kazuma Sato picked it up.

"Oh, I have the same thing in my pocket too, look!"

"I have it too……"

"So I have one too. But what is it used for?"

Aqua, Yuuyu, and Megumin all pulled out their smartphones from their pockets.

This should be one of the initial sets for beginners, just like the clothes, but no one has noticed it because they haven't paid attention to it.

"Hmph, let me tell you."

Aqua pulled out her smartphone, puffed out her chest, and said to the three girls from the other world, "This is a machine that can make contact and do all sorts of things... and of course, you can take pictures too!"

"Really? What should we do?"

"Press this button to start, then do this, then do that..."

Aqua handled the smartphone with remarkable ease.

This silly goddess must have played with these things a lot back in Heaven. Heaven has potato chips and comic books, so surely it must have smartphones too.

"Get into position, like this!"

click-

With a crisp sound and a very brief flash of white light, Aqua turned her smartphone screen toward Megumin and the others so they could all see the image on it.

"Look, look, it turned out pretty good, right? I tried taking a selfie."

"Oh...! I'll be able to see it soon, how convenient is that!... Hmm?" Huihui noticed something was off.

Darkness said, "Why are those eyes so big, and the skin so pale... It seems a little different from my reflection in the mirror?"

Youyou nodded as well.

Aqua explained, "This stone slab has the function of turning photos into beautiful women."

"Is that so? But even if you're being polite, this doesn't quite qualify as handsome..." Huihui was somewhat resistant.

That's for sure.

The beauty feature is for making portraits look better; if you want something more handsome, you'd probably have to choose the one with special effects. But since the little girl can use explosion magic, it seems completely unnecessary.

"Isn't this great?" Aqua urged enthusiastically, "I'll teach you. Megumin, Yuuyu, and Darkness, you guys take a selfie too!"

Several pretty girls gathered together to take a selfie.

This activity seems to be quite captivating for both modern women and women from another world.

The two men standing nearby were naturally ignored.

Kazuma Sato sighed, "They've actually started to fully enjoy modern life..."

“It’s natural to be interested in novel sights. Didn’t Sato become obsessed with thrilling adventures as soon as he arrived at Konosuba?”

"I experienced thrills and excitement, but nothing else."

"That's right."

The two of them laughed at the same time.

"Hey you two—! Hurry up and take a picture together!"

Before anyone knew it, Aqua and the others had run to the base of the goddess statue and were calling out to the two of them.

"A group photo...that would be good too."

"Just give in to her."

They met up with a group of people engrossed in taking photos, and then asked passersby to pose in strange ways. They all shouted in unison:

"—Peace!" X6

Chapter 436 Limited-Time Treasure Hunt! Virtual Reality City?!

"You guys must be tired from playing. Here, have something to drink."

Amidst the laughter, Kobayashi handed Darkness and the others a few drinks they had bought from the shopping street.

Huihui took the cup and shook it. Some black particles swirled in the light gray liquid before slowly settling down.

The little girl asked curiously, "This...this color is so subtle, and what are those black particles inside?"

"It's milk tea!" Aqua exclaimed, urging the others, "The stuff inside is called pearls. Milk tea is really delicious, you guys should try it too!"

"oh oh……"

Seeing Aqua slurping it up with gusto, Darkness and the others cautiously began to taste it as well. But soon, they were captivated by the smooth, sweet, and creamy texture of the milk tea.

"This is truly an incredible drink. It's really not easy to suck all these black particles into your mouth... Hmm, hmm?!" Darkness used too much force and choked a little, covering his mouth and nose and coughing softly.

"Are you alright? Calm down and drink."

Youyou patted her back with concern.
