I love time travel the most!

"Oh!"xN

I casually greeted them and went back to my room to sleep.

the next day.

Sunlight filled the room as Kobayashi rested on a soft pillow.

It's cool and refreshing, very comfortable.

Strange, is Liu Zi really that cool, and also so big... Something just doesn't feel right.

"Lord Kobayashi, are you feeling comfortable?"

"It feels so good... Hmm???"

No, there's a problem!

Liu Zi's voice came from behind him, so what kind of pillow was he using...?!

Open your eyes and look at the broad chest, upon which there is a strange emblem!

No, really?!

Xiaolin's pupils kept dilating and contracting, as if he had encountered something extremely frightening, and he crawled backward using both his hands and feet.

It wasn't until his back touched the wall that the cool touch made him feel the reality.

But it also made him doubt himself.

"Why...why is Esdeath in my bed?! ...

Urgent! Are you King Gigi? This is pandering to otaku, don't you even know what pandering to otaku means?!

Chapter 65 I am the God of Pure Love

——What the hell is going on?!

Xiaolin covered her head and desperately tried to recall.

Last night, he prepared hot tea in his room and set up a silent barrier, waiting for Tatsumi to come to him.

"You came."

"I am coming."

"You shouldn't have come."

"I'm already here!"

That's right, he even deliberately used language to guide Tatsumi to cooperate with him in order to deliver this classic line.

after that……

Driven by passion and impulsiveness, Tatsumi shouted, "Kobayashi, why did you defect? ​​Answer me!!"

Are you a ninja desperately searching for your comrades?

Kobayashi really wanted to complain, but he still said what he had repeated several times: "I did not join Night Raid. It was all just wishful thinking on your part from beginning to end."

"Are you kidding..."

Tatsumi clenched his fists, his teeth clenched in anger.

Kobayashi chuckled softly and said, "Do you remember what I told you? Being an assassin can't save the capital, and the people who control Night Raid aren't good people either."

"But you said everyone is a good person."

"That's why I didn't expose their intelligence, isn't it?"

"..."

Although I was very unhappy, I couldn't find any reason to refute it.

After all, there are currently no wanted posters for him, Leone, and Lubbock posted in the capital.

Kobayashi poured him a cup of tea and said, "To answer your question about why you joined the Hunters... my answer is, it's because of my ambition."

"Ambition?"

“That’s right. Like you and all of you, I also want to overthrow the corrupt rule of the empire. It’s just that we have chosen different methods and represent different positions, that’s all.”

Kobayashi's words made Tatsumi think.

Methods and stances.

This was a lesson Kobayashi had taught him during a night raid: he wasn't on the side of the night raiders or the hunters; he was on the side of the people.

—You'll be disliked by both sides in the end.

You will bear a bad reputation and never be able to recover, but that is nothing compared to what you are trying to save!

"Could it be that……?!"

"That's right, just as you thought."

Kobayashi's smile was calm and gentle, but the more calmed he was, the more shocked Tatsumi became.

They're actually thinking of changing things from the inside out.

"Therefore, I am not your enemy, but your companion... or at least, a fellow traveler with the same aspirations and the same path."

Does this mean they share the same goal?

With his inner doubts resolved, Tatsumi finally let go of his resentment, but at the same time, he also had more feelings.

"...Is it worth it?"

"Tatsumi, let me tell you one more thing."

Xiaolin's expression turned serious, and he said with a firm look, "No matter how difficult the road ahead may be, as long as we are heading in the right direction, no matter how rugged and uneven it may be, it is still closer to happiness than standing still."

If Brand is a moral mentor, then Kobayashi is a life mentor, who has given him a lot of help on his life's journey and has influenced him constantly.

Tatsumi left, deep in thought as he went, seemingly having gained profound insights.

Kobayashi raised his cup, took a sip of hot tea, and a satisfied smile appeared on his lips.

He wasn't lying.

He did indeed join the Hunters out of ambition, to overthrow the empire, and they were indeed like-minded companions.

The only difference is that he didn't mention that he had a third major power backing him up.

Tatsumi, you must make sure you relay the information to the Night Raid team. I'm really looking forward to it.

With these thoughts in mind, he drifted off to sleep contentedly.

...So what happened after that?

Why is Esdeath in my bed?!

"Lord Kobayashi, let me correct you. You are not in your own bed, but in someone else's bed."

Ryuji's words sent a chill down Kobayashi's spine.

The resentment runs too deep!

"Miss Ryuu, could you please explain to me why I'm sleeping with General Esdeath?"

"Then let me explain."

Perhaps the noise was too loud, waking Esdeath from her sleep. She stretched out her beautiful curves, revealing a large area of ​​skin.

Xiaolin's lips twitched slightly.

General Esdeath is far too unrestrained, just like the carefree Leone. Doesn't she mind having her body seen by other men?

"Captain, could you please explain?"

"Because Kobayashi, you are too tempting."

"……Um???"

"Because Kobayashi, you are too tempting."

Thinking he hadn't heard her clearly, Esdeath repeated it again.

But what kind of explanation is that?

"I'm sorry, I don't understand."

"In short, Kobayashi, you exude a very alluring aura, and I couldn't resist making a move on you."

An alluring scent?

Whatever attracted Esdeath must be extraordinary.

Ice? Water? Divine power?

hiss--

Wait a minute, he seems to understand something.

I gasped, and the image of a certain silly goddess unconsciously popped into my mind.

It's you!!!

This situation was completely unexpected for him. Why does he always get himself into trouble in inexplicable ways?

MD, Aqua!

"Then why was it on the captain's bed?"

"Because the bed in my room is quite big."

Are you Jay?

In fact, apart from Esdeath's luxurious room, the other members all have single beds, which are not big enough for two people to sleep in.

"Miss Liu Zi, why didn't you stop it?"

"Lord Kobayashi said that no matter who comes in, we should not stop them. Have you forgotten?"

That was something he said to receive Tatsumi!

Kobayashi really wanted to tell Ryuuichi right now, but he absolutely couldn't let Esdeath know that he had spoken with Tatsumi last night, so he had no choice but to swallow this bitter pill.
