On this day, Xiaolin came to Wiz's magic tool shop again. To be precise, he was called here by Wiz.
Jingle Bell--
The clear and sweet sound of the wind chimes sounded.
Just as he had just stepped into the store with his left foot, Wiz hurried over from behind the counter, jumping up and down and making an elastic sound of "duang" and "duang", which immediately attracted his attention.
A few seconds later, Wiz hugged his arm with tears in his eyes. The soft and cold touch flooded into his mind, but he suppressed it again. Because the aggrieved look of the weak Lich lady is really heartbreaking.
"Mr. Xiaolin!"
"Wiz, what's wrong? You came to me in such a hurry. What happened?"
"Aqua, Lady Aqua..."
"Aqua?"
Just when Xiaolin was confused, Aqua rushed out of the room. She kicked the door violently and shouted angrily: "Where are you, you damn lich! Come out now!"
"Eh, eh——!"
Wiz shrank into Xiaolin's arms in fear, hiding his face and not daring to look at Aqua.
You don't need to think about it to know that the stupid goddess must have bullied the weak lich again.
"A-Ku-Ya!"
"X-Xiao Lin?"
When she looked up and saw Xiao Lin with an unkind expression, Aqua immediately stopped and did not dare to step forward.
"Tell me, what happened?"
"This, this..."
Aqua's eyes were wandering.
Sigh.
He looked down at the trembling weak Lich lady and said, "Wiz, has Aqua bullied you? If she has, I will definitely teach her a lesson."
Compared with the goddess who likes to lie and defend herself, the lich is obviously more trustworthy.
"Mr. Xiaolin..."
Wiz's expression was slightly gloomy. Her face was full of hesitation, as if she didn't know whether to tell Xiao Lin something or not.
"What's wrong? If there's anything that bothers you, be sure to say it. Don't be afraid, I will make the decision for you. Has the turnover dropped again recently?"
"No, it's not that!"
Hearing what he said, Wiz quickly waved his hands to deny it.
Then, she hesitated with a troubled look on her face: "Well, Mr. Xiaolin advertised for me when I intercepted the Destroyer and gained a lot of sales. I'm really grateful! It has nothing to do with this, but... ...About Aqua-sama..."
Is that really the case?
Xiaolin also looked troubled.
He deliberately left Aqua out just now, just to keep a glimmer of hope, but he didn't expect it to be her.
You shouldn't trust the stupid goddess.
"Hey! Bastard Lich, what did you say?!" Aqua shouted angrily, and then complained to Xiao Lin: "She is slandering, she is slandering me!"
Although she looked very angry, no matter how she looked at her, she was threatening the weak Wiz.
Couldn't help but take a step forward.
A hand knife hit the noisy Aqua on the back of the head to shut her up. The stupid goddess immediately cried and rolled on the ground holding her head.
Ignore this stupid goddess.
Then Xiaolin turned his head and asked Wiz: "What's wrong with this guy? Is it because she comes here from time to time, does this bother you? If you are afraid of this guy, I will tell her to try not to come here."
Even though Aqua looks like this, she can still be considered a goddess. Wiz is an immortal, so this should make her quite uneasy.
"...No, no, it's not like that... It doesn't matter if Aqua-sama comes, but every time she comes here, she will find the customers in the store, saying that all the products here are made by the female boss through some... It’s made using a manufacturing method that won’t be exported, so it’s better not to buy it… or something like that.”
"Aqua, what on earth is going on?"
Xiao Lin lowered his voice and asked.
Aqua, who was holding her head, shook on the floor after hearing this.
It seems she did.
"No, it doesn't matter! There is no need to pursue this matter!" Wiz, like her broad mind, forgave Aqua very generously, and said curiously: "I don't know why, but the amazing thing is that there Afterwards, products such as holy water in my store unexpectedly caused a rush of purchases by male adventurers, so this matter..."
Should I say it’s great to be able to sell well?
It should be Aqua's own sacred attributes that have improved the quality of the holy water by several levels.
But then again, is it really okay for a lich to sell holy water? Won't you accidentally purify yourself?
Moreover, in all senses, are the adventurers in this town really okay?
"But isn't this a good thing?" Xiao Lin asked.
After hearing this, Wiz hurriedly waved his hands and said: "No, no, no, more importantly... Lady Aqua will touch the products everywhere in my store, so the medicines used for spells and the secret medicines used for necromancy are all There are too many products that have been purified and must be scrapped..."
"What's going on, you stupid goddess!"
It seems that when she doesn't know it, she will come to Wiz's shop to cause trouble.
You must be too idle, you idiot!
Xiaolin lifted Aqua up, pressed her head and apologized to Wiz: "Sorry, Wiz! I will be responsible for compensating those scrapped products with this guy's pocket money!"
"Wait a minute, Xiaolin!"
"Hey, Aqua, apologize to me properly too!"
"I do not want!"
Aqua raised her head stubbornly and shouted nonsense: "Why does the goddess have to bow to the lich! Besides, the water that touches my body will be purified because of the sacred aura naturally emanating from my body. This There is nothing we can do about it! Just like plants will perform photosynthesis when exposed to sunlight, I will automatically purify myself when exposed to water! I really have no control over this!"
No, ultimately you shouldn't mess with the product.
But the stupid goddess couldn't press her head down no matter what. It seemed that not bowing to the lich was her bottom line, and finding trouble was most likely out of disgust.
no way.
Kobayashi had no choice but to stand in for Aqua, who refused to bow her head even in death, and bowed deeply to Wiz.
At the same time, he couldn’t help but secretly thought:
I always feel that because of her relationship, I have been forced to bow to many people recently.
"Please, please raise your head!" Wiz anxiously stepped forward to help Xiaolin, and at the same time begged: "It's okay, everything is over! I just hope that she can try not to purify products in the future...! I'm already in trouble. I have done many things for Aqua-sama, such as going to the cemetery to let the lost souls ascend to heaven, and purifying other houses troubled by evil spirits...!"
As he said that, Wiz quickly lowered his head.
Hearing what Wiz said bluntly, Aqua, the culprit who had caused a commotion of evil spirits in many mansions not long ago because she was lazy when cleaning the cemetery, also looked away in embarrassment.
Return to the mansion.
"Listen up, Aqua! You are not allowed to cause trouble in Wiz's magic item shop anymore!"
"I didn't go make trouble!"
"Um?"
"...I, I know!"
Aqua curled her lips, not sure if she heard it.
Really, has this stupid goddess forgotten what she said before that she would protect Wiz? Or is it that this Yakuza goddess has a bad nature and likes to bully her younger brother?
Seriously, you two might as well swap careers.
Xiao Lin sighed deeply.
Apologizing to Wiz and hearing her complain was just a snapshot of the day.
Yesterday, he was forced to apologize, pay compensation and make repairs because Megumin blew up a certain farm. The day before yesterday, Sato Kazuma used an expired free hospitality coupon to redeem himself.
——Called parents.
This is daily life during this time.
Since Darkness is away, Aqua and the others use this as an excuse to be lazy and do nothing every day, causing the energetic, stupid children to always get into trouble.
Am I their old father? Damn it!
I feel so tired and want to retire.
Thinking like this, Xiao Lin's inner desire to escape from this world became stronger.
As it happens, he received a letter this morning.
Think of this.
"Okay, it's decided, I want to leave."
"……Eh?"
"I said, I want to get out of here."
"Wait, wait! Xiaolin, are you going to abandon me?! No, don't abandon me!!!"
The stupid goddess mistakenly thought that Xiao Lin didn't want to team up with them and wanted to fly solo. She was so frightened that she rushed forward and hugged Xiao Lin's thigh tightly without letting go. No matter how hard he pulled, she couldn't pull it out.
"Let, let go! You misunderstood!"
"Don't let it go! Don't let it go!"
"Aqua!"
Xiao Lin didn't expect that her words would cause such a big reaction from her.
What was even more unexpected was that Sato Kazuma happened to come back from outside. He was stunned when he saw the crying Aqua holding Xiaolin's thigh and wiping her nose on it.
After seeing him, Aqua greeted: "Kazuma Kazuma! Come quickly! Xiaolin is going to abandon us, hurry up and stop him!"
However, Sato Kazuma did not panic after hearing this, but put on an expression that he had expected.
"Has the day finally come?"
"Kazuma?"
"It's natural for Kobayashi-senpai to abandon us. After all, there are several problem children in the team. If he had gone to another team, he would have become the highest-level adventurer long ago and shined brightly, just like Kyoya Mitsurugi. That. Because of this, we should sincerely send our sincere blessings."
"Kazuma, what nonsense are you talking about?! It's obvious that we can shine together with me, the goddess of water, right? That's right!"
Sato Kazuma's look away made Aqua angrily emphasize her importance loudly.
And Sato Kazuma showed contempt for the goddess who had never seen such a shameless person before, and made a nasal sound of extreme disdain.
"--Ah."
Such behavior immediately stimulated the nerves of the stupid goddess, and she got up and pretended to fight with Sato Kazuma.
But Xiao Lin stopped him with a knife.
"It hurts!"
Aqua shouted in pain and squatted down with her head in her hands.
Xiao Lin sighed and said helplessly: "Can you please listen to what I have to say?"
"Senior Xiaolin?" Sato Kazuma blinked, he really wanted to understand something.
"Actually, I just wanted to go to another world while Darkness didn't come back. Who would have thought that Aqua, an idiot, would misunderstand this."'
"...That's right."
They both lowered their heads at the same time and glanced at Aqua with disgust.
She's always like this.
I can't grasp the key points myself, and I don't listen to what others say. I always use my own efforts to hold back the rest of the team.
The team has gotten a bad rap recently, and it's all her fault.
"Go to other worlds." Sato Kazuma nodded, and then asked doubtfully: "But what if Darkness comes back?"
"I've already prepared for this."
Xiao Lin took out a letter from his arms.
This was given to him by Miss Luna when he went to the Adventurer's Guild this morning.
It's a handwritten letter from Darkness.
It said that she was going to the royal capital with the head of the Dustinis family recently, and there was a high probability that she would not be able to come back in a short time, so it fueled his idea of going to other worlds.
"That's right."
Sato Kazuma and Aqua nodded after reading the letter. It seemed that they had indeed misunderstood just now.
"Idiot Aqua!"
"What did you say?!"
The unwarranted scolding made Aqua widen her eyes angrily, but Sato Kazuma didn't care about her and turned to look at Xiaolin.
"In that case, then Kobayashi-senpai, please feel free to leave. I will watch over Aqua and Megumin to prevent these two idiots from messing around."
"Oh! You are so reliable, Sato-kun!"
Xiaolin was very moved by having such an outstanding back.
If one day he really wants to leave the team, if he has to choose someone to be his teammate, then there is no doubt that the candidate must be Sato Kazuma.
"How long will Senior Xiaolin plan to leave this time?"
"It's difficult to give an accurate time for this. But I will come back as soon as possible. After all, Darkness's matters have the highest priority."
Xiao Lin is still waiting for Darkness to bring good news, and then gives the evil lord, Eldap, a big gift.
"Well, I understand." Sato Kazuma nodded and said at the same time: "So, can you wear my specially designed clothes when traveling to other worlds this time? I'm really looking forward to the effect! ... Although I also Just can’t see it.”
Kazuma Sato couldn't help complaining that it was the first time that a costume designer couldn't see the display effect.
"And me, and me!" Aqua also shouted loudly: "Xiaolin, you must wear the goddess ribbon I made!"
Before Kobayashi could speak, Sato Kazuma shouted angrily: "What are you talking about, you idiot Aqua! How can senior Kobayashi wear women's clothes!"
"What are you talking about?! Although it is an imitation of the Goddess Ribbon, it is also a divine weapon! Hey, idiot Kazuma, don't you understand the power of the divine weapon?"
"Haha. If the divine weapon you are talking about is the magic sword of Mitsurugi Kyouya, then I will really laugh out loud."
"Wait! That was an accident! Besides, you know that the power of an artifact depends on the user, right? The artifact I made has super strong defense, and it was made with the Destroyer's magic device! The ability to nullify magic, you don’t understand how powerful it is!”
"Ah ah ah, I can't hear it. I can't hear it."
Sato Kazuma covered his ears and refused to listen.
Just when he was about to tell Xiao Lin not to believe it, he turned around and saw his senior's eyes shining with excitement.
I forgot that Kobayashi-senpai is also a problem child in a sense.
"It's okay, Aqua."
"Xiao Lin..."
"I will accept your wishes!"
"Thank you, Xiaolin!"
Seeing Kobayashi accept the goddess ribbon, Aqua was extremely moved, and then winked at Sato Kazuma triumphantly.
Sato Kazuma ignored her and asked, "Senior Kobayashi, when are you leaving?"
"Now."
Xiaolin handed the hand with the ring to Aqua, asking her to help fill it with energy.
But this time, the recognized goddess did not deliberately ask for benefits, but simply filled the ring with energy.
"Then, I'm leaving!"
Holding Liu Zi's hand, Xiao Lin's figure disappeared.
Sato Kazuma and Aqua, who disliked each other, were just about to go back to their rooms when the figure that had just disappeared suddenly appeared in front of them again.
The two of them looked at Xiao Lin in surprise, his clothes flying around and looking quite embarrassed.
I saw him sticking out his tongue and complaining: "Bah, bah, bah, it's all sand! I didn't expect to encounter a sandstorm just after crossing. Fortunately, I ran fast!"
He couldn't help but feel grateful that his ability to travel through the world had not cooled down, otherwise he would have been lost in the desert just now.
That's right, the place he traveled through this time was an unknown desert!
