There are a group of people in this world called adventurers.
They are such a group of people who fight against monsters that threaten people's safety day and night, eat and drink every day just to make money, and live a life where they don't know if there will be a tomorrow.
But even such unplanned adventurers will stay in the hotel and spend their days leisurely when winter comes.
This is also because most weak monsters will hibernate in winter, and all active monsters are difficult to deal with.
The town that Kobayashi and the others use as their base, Axel, is a town where novice adventurers gather. Therefore, the adventurers here are not much better than ordinary people. Doing subjugation work in winter is no different from committing suicide. In fact, the above are all excuses.
Xiao Lin and others did not do the task entirely because of laziness.
After all, the winter quilt is too tempting, and with a lot of savings, working outside in the freezing cold is really asking for trouble...except for a certain perverted knight who wants to experience the pleasure of being frozen to the point of death. , all members of the team are living a useless life in the mansion.
They are not short of money!
200 million Eris is enough for them to squander for several years. Even if they are anxious to defeat the Demon King, they are not in a hurry, not to mention that the Demon King's army is most likely preparing for the winter.
And this leads to a problem.
——Too idle!
Staying at home may be acceptable for a day or two, but you will be bored in a week, and feel uncomfortable in a month.
After all, it is not a modern city. There are no computers, mobile phones or game consoles in this backward otherworld, so you will soon feel bored.
The other people in the team don't know, but he has had enough of staying here anyway.
so--
"Let's time travel!" Xiaolin decided.
The things he brought back from the world of "Zhan Chi" have been completely digested, and his strength has also increased slightly. In addition, it is winter and there is no activity in the team, so his desire to travel through time is once again agitated.
First go to Aqua.
Xiao Lin needs to recharge the ring every time he travels through time, which makes Xiao Lin find it very inconvenient.
If something unexpected happens and the ring's energy is insufficient and unable to be replenished, wouldn't he be able to travel back in time? Let's find an opportunity to let Aqua modify the artifact.
When I came to the lobby of the mansion, I saw Aqua lying lazily on the large sofa, enjoying the cozy afternoon time by the warm fireplace. Her eyes were slightly closed and she was quiet and relaxed. She exuded a different kind of aura that made people unconscious. The heart of the earth is full of admiration.
Seriously, this is the only time she would look like a goddess...if she wasn't holding a huge bottle of bubbly in her arms.
The corners of Xiao Lin's mouth twitched slightly.
The goddess holding the bubble wine felt as abrupt as Guan Yu riding a bicycle, which made people speechless.
"Wake up, Aqua! Wake up!"
Xiao Lin pushed her shoulders and shook her head to wake her up from her drowsiness.
"...Xiaolin?"
Aqua looked at him with sleepy eyes and a slightly hazy look, not understanding why he had to wake her up.
"Aqua, charge my ring, I'm going to travel through time."
"Time travel?"
Upon hearing this, Aqua suddenly became energetic.
She had been looking forward to this session for a long time, not because she wanted the other party to do something, but because she could benefit from it.
For example, for the two bottles of bubble wine last time, Xiaolin didn't fool her to express his gratitude. He bought expensive high-end bubble wine and let her drink it.
That's why she was so energetic, and at the same time she looked at Xiao Lin with great expectation.
"...What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Ahem. Let me tell you, Xiaolin."
Aqua coughed lightly and said in a pretentious manner: "My divine power is very precious, and injecting divine power into the artifact is also very hard. Under normal circumstances, I will never waste my divine power on others. However, It’s not impossible if the target is Xiaolin, it’s just..."
"only?"
"Should I make a tribute to the goddess who loves you so much?"
After saying that, she started rubbing her hands together.
——Flies rub their hands.
This look of excitement and anticipation somehow gave off a wretched and perverted vibe. I made a mistake in saying that she looked like a goddess just now. Aqua doesn't look like a goddess at all!
"Want a tribute?"
"Yes! It would be best if it were bubble wine!"
"Oh ho?"
Seeing her like this, Xiao Lin was a little angry, and said in a pretentious manner: "Ah, ah, my throat is so dry. It would be great if I had some bubble wine to drink. It would be best if it was bought by nobles with a special logo. The price is hundreds of thousands of eris and it’s extremely rare bubble wine... or something."
"……Eh?"
"Hey, Aqua, does that bottle of super expensive high-end bubble wine taste good?"
"W-what are you talking about? Bubble wine, why can't I understand it?"
Aqua was dumbfounded, her eyes darting around at the same time, and her guilty look made people laugh.
Xiao Lin did not let her go and scolded her: "Don't pretend to be stupid! You drank all that bottle of bubble wine, and you don't know how to regret the mistakes you made! And you want hard work? Then let me work hard." Give me back the divine power of faith that came!"
"No! I don't want it! If it enters my body, it belongs to me! Never give it back!"
Aqua was quite resistant.
She is particularly strong in her faith, and she is obviously the kind of fool who wastes her divine power to unleash her banquet skills at will.
This guy……
Xiaolin pressed Aqua into the large sofa and kept rubbing her cheeks with both hands, using such force that the stupid goddess begged for mercy.
"I know, I know! I don't want tribute, I don't want tribute! Let me go!"
In the end, the goddess succumbed to Xiaolin's temptation.
The disheveled Water Goddess stared at Xiao Lin with her mouth bulging and tears in her eyes. She seemed to be silently accusing the other party of being her most loyal believer for being rude and unreasonable to the goddess she believed in. However, she did not do anything to disqualify the goddess from demanding tribute from her believers. repentance.
It's Aqua after all.
It is impossible to repent, and it is impossible to repent in this life. I am not qualified to be a goddess, so I can only maintain my life like this by pretending to be a goddess and taking advantage.
A crying Aqua charges the ring.
But he did not travel immediately, but first went to Wiz's magic tool shop to get the skill point potion back.
The twenty bottles from last time were not enough, so he ordered twenty more bottles with great wealth.
Coupled with the skill points gained from upgrading during this period, he finally accumulated 50 points and lit up the strongest attack magic in mankind - Explosion Magic.
Ah, by the way.
Explosion Magic and Explosion Magic are three independent special magics, so learning it does not require any prerequisites.
However, unlike Megumin, who has mastered explosion magic to the extreme, Kobayashi needs to chant an extremely long spell to use it. Generally, he will not use it easily in fierce battles, which is a bit regretful.
Then greet the rest of the squad.
As usual, Darkness and Megumin used "I need to go back home for something" as an excuse, and successfully gained their trust and understanding, and they no longer had to lie to Sato Kazuma and confessed that they wanted to time travel.
At the same time, in order to prevent accidents, he gave the deposit check to Sato Kazuma for safekeeping.
Unlike Aqua and others who spent money carelessly, Sato Kazuma could only go to the Succubus shop to be cool, and his 200 million savings could not be spent even if he was exhausted.
After everything is arranged, you can travel through time.
"Liu Zi, do you want to accompany me?"
"Yes. I am Master Xiaolin's waiter, so naturally I have to follow you. Besides, you are as weak as an insect. You may get hurt if you don't pay attention. Naturally, I have to take care of you like a baby."
"Hey, hey, don't look at me like this. I'm someone who has learned explosion magic after all."
Xiao Lin complained slightly.
However, his usual vicious tongue made him feel at ease. Most of his success in other worlds was due to Liu Zi, and of course he didn't feel ashamed.
There is no way, this is what a bad stomach is like.
"Then... I will leave my future to you, Liu Zi."
"...Lord Kobayashi."
Liu Zi's cheeks were slightly red and she turned her head away, not daring to look at him. Xiao Lin chuckled and took the initiative to hold Liu Zi's slender hand, interlocking their fingers and they were close together.
His eyes were closed, then opened again.
"——Time travel!"
As soon as the scene changed, they appeared on a train, a steam train that was speeding and running out of control.
