Early the next morning.

Kobayashi woke up from his sleep, but his body was trapped and unable to move, and at the same time, a familiar feeling of dullness came over him.

Is it Liu Zi? But she is not that big.

I opened my eyes in confusion, and a water-blue figure came into view.

Oh, it's Aqua.

What, it's Aqua???

Xiaolin felt something was wrong. Why was the stupid goddess here? And since moving to the new base, there haven't been any murders. Why is she here again? And how did she get in?

But he didn't think much about it and buried it again.

As expected, this place makes people feel more at ease. There is no irritability that makes people's blood boil. There is peace and tranquility in the heart. It is also very fragrant and soft. He likes it the most!

"Master Kobayashi, you look very satisfied."

"It's very full... Liu Zi?!"

Only then did I realize that the soft touch coming from behind was Liu Zi.

Behind her is Ryuji, and in front is Aqua. Could this be the legendary...

No, no, no, what are you thinking about!

Even though both of them are super beautiful girls with amazing beauty, Kobayashi can't do anything to either of them.

It's literally impossible to do it.

Xiaolin raised his head alertly, leaving the gentle aquamarine and asking curiously, "Ryushi, why is Aqua here?"

"Don't you know, Master Kobayashi, that Master Aqua lingers outside your door every night?"

"Um?"

"And even if I send her back to her room, she'll appear outside Kobayashi-sama's door again later."

"Um??"

"Seeing how much she wanted to be with you, and considering that you went to the succubus to help with your problems last night, I thought about it and decided to let Aqua-sama come along as well.

"Um???"

Liu Zi seemed to have said something extraordinary.

No, there are too many flaws.

He didn't know how to complain.

"I didn't expect Aqua-sama to be so enamored with you."

"She was simply attracted by the magic of the ring in my hand... Even if I said so, I'm sure Liu Zi wouldn't believe it."

"I hope Mr. Kobayashi can take responsibility."

Well, she didn't believe it at all.

Kobayashi knew that this was not the time to explain, so he pulled away Aqua's arms and tried to get up. However, his movements were a little too big and woke her up.

The sleepy and stupid goddess hadn't noticed anything unusual yet. She rubbed her eyes and asked in confusion, "Huh? Xiaolin? Why are you in my room?"

"You were in my room."

Xiaolin corrected her mistake.

"Oh, is that so. I'm so sleepy, I'll get up later." Aqua was not moved at all, and even lay on Kobayashi's bed again, as if she didn't consider herself an outsider.

There was something wrong with Liu Zi's eyes behind him.

Letting Aqua in is one thing, but pushing her too far is another.

"Miss Liu Zi..."

"I'm here. Do you want me to help you get dressed, Master Kobayashi?"

“…I’m counting on you.”

This part had never happened before, and Kobayashi didn't think that she was a useless person who couldn't even put on clothes properly, but she seemed to be stimulated by the succubus Rona and Aqua one after another, and began to become closer to Kobayashi.

It was difficult to refuse in this situation, so I had to let her do whatever she wanted.

After enjoying some attentive service in front of the goddess, Kobayashi and Ryuzi walked out of the room.

Darkness happened to come out of the room, but before she could even say hello, she heard her curse, "Pervert! Beast! Scum!"

Kobayashi was completely confused as he didn't understand why he was being scolded.

Darkness' cheeks suddenly flushed red, and she hugged herself tightly with her arms, panting:

"I thought only Liu Zi was enough, but I didn't expect Xiao Lin to actually attack Aqua. The three of you must have been stacking last night...hiss...ha...hiss...ha..."

What are you talking about!

Falling into fantasy so early in the morning, what a hopeless perverted knight!

It’s not over yet.

Darkness continued panting, "Aqua has already been ruthlessly harmed by you. I'll definitely be next, and then Megumin..."

No! Don’t even think about infecting Megumin! I will definitely stop you! Just come at me. I’m a knight who protects others from harm, so… just come at me!”

Hey! She is slandering me! She is defaming me!

Seeing that Xiaolin didn't move, Darkness became anxious. "Come on, come at me! You're welcome, I can accept anything!"

Why is she still anxious?

Darkness pounced over and grabbed Xiaolin's arm with great strength, breathing rapidly.

Although she didn't say it explicitly, Xiaolin could tell from the words that what she wanted to say was

——Why don’t you bring her to the party!

“Wait, wait… don’t come over here!” Kobayashi held her face to prevent Darkness from getting closer, and explained loudly, “You misunderstood! We didn’t do anything last night!”

"Do you think I will believe your one-sided statement?"

"If you don't believe me, just ask Liu Zi!"

Hearing him say this, Darkness turned to look at the quiet and elegant maid beside her.

Liu Zi said venomously, "Although I really want to say that Master Kobayashi was great last night, the reality is that Master Kobayashi was completely devastated. It was truly unbearable to watch."

"Xiao Lin, are you still a man like this?" Darkness suddenly calmed down.

No, why would you dislike me? And what does that disappointed expression mean? If we had the chance, we'd give it a try. I'm sure you'd be so upset!

Xiaolin secretly made up his mind and vowed to make her suffer sooner or later!

————

Three days later, Adventurer's Guild.

"Everyone, our bounty from yesterday's cabbage harvest has been calculated."

Xiao Lin held up a list and said to everyone, "To be honest, I didn't expect there would be so many."

"A lot? How many?"

"I'm already looking forward to it!"

"Hurry up and tell me, hurry up and tell me!"

Facing everyone's expectant gazes, Xiaolin slowly said, "—1181W Eris!"

“Ohhhhhhhhhh!!!” X3

"1180W...1180W?!!!"

"Bubbles, lots of bubbles!"

"So, can I stay home and not work?"

Upon hearing this exaggerated number, everyone except Darkness, a noble lady, went crazy.

Huihui's eyes were empty, and she kept mumbling things like "I'm rich now, I don't have to go hungry anymore", which made people feel extremely sad.

Pah pah pah——

Clapping their hands brought them back to their senses from their fantasy.

"Everyone, there's a saying that goes, 'If you want to do your job well, you must first sharpen your tools.' If you want to do higher-level tasks, you need better equipment. So... let's use this money to buy new equipment!"

"My armor is broken and needs to be repaired." Darkness's armor was already tattered after enduring many collisions.

"I also feel that my wand can't keep up with my current strength." Huihui's wand can no longer keep up with her.

"I'm still wearing the novice suit! This time I have to buy some good equipment that can highlight my temperament!" The passionate young man Sato Kazuma naturally wants more stylish equipment.

"Let's go!"

"Oh!" X4

With a cheer, everyone headed straight for Bill's weapon shop.

Adamantium armor worth 1.2 million, an intermediate magic wand worth 120,000, an intermediate thief suit worth 150,000, and a blue crystal necklace worth 80,000 that is useless but looks great.

as well as.

"Pack up all the things I'm wearing."

When Xiaolin appeared again, everyone opened their eyes and mouths in surprise.

He wore a headband with some kind of bird feathers on it, a tight windbreaker on his upper body similar to those used for night travel, shorts on his lower body, and a pair of slippers on his feet.

The mixture of many styles of clothing makes it look weirder and weirder the more you look at it.

"I've been wanting to say this for a long time, Senior Kobayashi, your fashion sense is terrible."

"What's this novel outfit?"

"Are you going to a masquerade?"

"Dance? Where is the dance?"

"Master Kobayashi, you're lowering my opinion of me by doing this."

Everyone in the team complained without hesitation.

That’s too much!

You actually say that about yourself!

A warning headgear, a windbreaker that increases stealth, shorts that increase flexibility and speed, and slippers that allow walking on water, which one is not a practical equipment?

He is just a loyal Monster Hunter player, what's wrong with him?

Due to everyone's disdain, the equipment was not purchased, and Xiaolin was forcibly taken away while crying.

The final cost of purchasing equipment was 550,000 Eris.
