Xiaolin boasted confidently while secretly observing the expressions of Hill and Aniya, because he was afraid that his declaration would be too strong and would offend them.
After all, in the eyes of outsiders, everything the LV1 adventurers say is just nonsense and not convincing at all.
But he didn't expect Aniya to clasp her hands in front of her chest and look at him with sparkling eyes like a little fan girl.
I have to say, being looked at by a beautiful girl with adoring eyes does make one feel a little bit ecstatic.
At this time, Liu Zi suddenly said: "Master Xiaolin, I have to remind you that it is completely impossible for you to defeat the pig-headed man who defeated the one-armed monster (Goliath) with one sword."
The poisonous tongue of his own waiter arrived late.
However, Xiao Lin was not angry, but shouted beautiful in his heart.
The timing of Liu Zi's assist was so perfect. She just wanted to remind the Goddess of Beauty inadvertently and let her family members give her more guidance.
"It doesn't matter! I believe I can do it!"
Xiao Lin was extremely confident and had no idea that he could not do it. No, because he was sure he could do it.
And this made the two maids even more excited.
Aniya jumped up and hugged Xiao Lin's arm. With a cheerful smile on her face, she cheered him up and said, "I believe brother can do it!"
"Yes, if it is Mr. Xiaolin..."
Hill couldn't help but come up and stare at Xiao Lin with burning eyes, the divinity revealed by those silver-gray pupils not concealing at all.
"Yes, yes, thank you for trusting me."
Xiao Lin took a step back in fear.
The goddess of beauty is so oppressive that I dare not get closer to her at all. Moreover, the faint fragrance coming from Hill's body made Xiao Lin a little addicted to it.
However, Hill did not notice any abnormality in his retreating action. Instead, he felt that he was too rash and abrupt, making Xiao Lin feel uncomfortable.
Just look at the blushing cheeks.
"Yes, I'm sorry, Mr. Kobayashi!"
"no problem, no problem……"
Both of them scratched their heads in embarrassment, looked at each other and then smiled in agreement.
Ahhh~~~
Aniya on the side pouted her cat's lips, her eyes turned into the shape of a detective bunny, with a strange evil smile.
Seeing the weird smile of his companion next to him, Hill couldn't help but tremble.
"Aniya, your smile is weird."
"It's okay, it's okay, I just thought the atmosphere you guys had just now was very good... something like that."
"Anya!"
"Hahaha, just kidding, just kidding!"
The angry Hill couldn't help but tickle Aniya, which made the lively and cute cat-eared girl burst into sweet laughter.
The fight between the two pretty-faced waitresses attracted the attention of most of the adventurers in the tavern.
There was also the dwarf tavern manager who looked unhappy even though he had a smile on his face.
——Mia’s mother.
She pressed one hand on the counter, with a dangerous look in her eyes, and scolded in a dull voice: "Aniya, Hill! You two have time to fool around there, why don't you come and help from behind!"
"It's over, it's over, it's Mia's mother!"
Aniya was frightened, the cat's tail stood up with a "swish", and then walked quickly back.
It seems that Mia's mother has a great deterrent effect.
after all……
The 1.8 meter [little giant], are you telling me that he is a dwarf? !
"Hill!"
"Come here, Mia's mother!" Hill responded loudly, and then with obvious apology, he stuck out his little tongue and said to Xiao Lin: "I'm sorry, Mia's mother is calling me."
She didn't look afraid of Mia.
Not only was Hill the most popular waitress in the store, but also her hidden identity made Mia's mother, the [former leader of the Freya Familia], have to pay attention.
Is that why you are so hostile?
The 1.8-meter dwarf Mia's mother at the counter glared at Xiao Lin fiercely. He was already thinking about whether he should take the opportunity to leave.
"Little brother! Here, here!"
At this time, from inside the tavern... to be precise, where the [Loki Familia] were, a voice as lively and cheerful as Anya's was heard.
It's Tiona, and she is the only one who is so out of the ordinary.
Not only is he related to the two maids in the tavern, but he is also related to the [Loki Familia]. Who is this man? !
Suddenly there was a noise in the tavern, because Xiao Lin made surprising moves one after another.
Facing the direction of Xiao Lin at the door, the brave Finn sitting on the chair couldn't help but hold his forehead and sigh.
It’s all my fault that I didn’t stop Tiona in time.
Xiaolin was already conspicuous enough just now, and now he is related to them (Loki Familia). I really don't know if he will cause trouble to the other party in the future.
He couldn't help but glare at Tione, as if blaming her for not paying attention to his sister.
However, this Amazon sister took the blame as a reward, looking forward to more severe punishment with deep love in her eyes.
Brave Finn couldn't help but sigh.
Soon, he adjusted his mood, stood up and said to Xiao Lin: "We meet again, Mr. Xiao Lin, I wonder how your health is."
"It's much better now. Thank you for your timely help, I was able to avoid being killed." Xiao Lin said.
In just two sentences, the relationship between them was clearly explained.
The adventurers around them all looked astonished.
[Loki Familia] has a good reputation, and they always help weak adventurers who are alone in the dungeon. This man (Kobayashi) must be the same.
"If you don't mind, would you like to come here?"
Finn the Brave extends an invitation.
This is just a polite invitation, and it is also the family's own celebration banquet, so Xiao Lin will not intervene in it ignorantly.
"No……"
"What does it matter? Just come here and have a drink. No one will care anyway~"
Before he could say anything, he was interrupted by another person.
This man...
Wrong, it's a woman.
Her long orange-red hair is styled in a ponytail, and she always squints her eyes with a wicked smile that makes it difficult to see through her true thoughts. She wears a tight-fitting tights without any ups and downs.
Judging by her appearance, there is no doubt that she is a man, but Xiao Lin, who knows her true identity, naturally knows who she is.
"——God Loki."
"Yo, boy."
Xiao Lin bowed slightly, showing obvious respect for God.
Even if the other party is careless and the most cheerful person in Labyrinth City, his divinity and billions of years of wisdom are far beyond his reach.
"How about, do you want to have a drink?"
"...if Lord Loki asks."
Gods always do whatever they want, and no one can guess what they are thinking, especially Loki, who likes to play pranks and make trouble.
If Xiaolin had to choose between rejecting the god's invitation and accepting the god's invitation, he would rather choose the latter.
After all, the ripples caused are much smaller.
As soon as he sat down, Xiao Lin saw a plush object tied with a rope and hanging from the beam.
"Oh oh oh!!!"
After seeing Xiao Lin, he let out a miserable howl.
Unfortunately, his mouth was blocked by a cloth, so he couldn't understand what he said. However, it can be seen from his body language that he welcomes Xiaolin's arrival.
"this is……"
"Ah, don't worry about it, it's just a little fun."
Loki chuckled.
Xiao Lin didn't believe that the werewolf was tied to it for fun. He might as well tell him that he was making dried meat.
It must be because the drunk werewolf Bert said too many unreasonable and ugly words just now, which aroused the anger of everyone in the family members, so he was hung from the beam.
In other words, if the wine is not good, then don’t drink!
Don't you know it will cause trouble to others?
For some reason, Xiao Lin thought of a certain stupid goddess who was also bad at drinking and always got him into trouble.
"Come on, little brother!"
Tiona handed him a glass of wine.
Xiao Lin reached out and took it, drank it under everyone's expectant and testing eyes, and received unanimous cheers from everyone.
"good!"
"You look like you can drink well!"
"good!"
Xiao Lin really felt the other party's enthusiasm, which made him a little uncomfortable.
"It's quite refreshing to drink, little brother~"
Loki looked at Xiao Lin with a smile, his admiration was beyond words, and then he raised the wine bowl in his hand.
This time, all members of the [Loki Familia] raised their wine bowls, and then looked at Xiao Lin, who had just drank a large bowl of wine.
Are you planning to get me drunk?
Loki said with a smile: "My family is under your care, little brother~"
"No, no, I owe it to your family to take care of you." Xiao Lin was polite.
That’s it for now, all I can do is drink.
Have another big bowl.
"Loki, this is the end of it."
The brave Finn stopped her and signaled her to stop forcing others to drink.
Loki curled his lips and said, "Tch, boring."
Seeing that his own god had restrained himself, the brave Finn was slightly relieved. After all, he would be in trouble if the god went crazy.
But probably because the werewolf Burt was in front of him, Loki didn't make any strange moves.
At this time, Lefiya saw the sword girl Ace next to her staring directly at Xiaolin, and couldn't help but asked curiously: "Miss Ace...? What's wrong?"
"It's okay, I'm just curious about that person's weapon." Ais said calmly.
Obviously, that person was referring to Xiao Lin.
As soon as Sword Princess Ais finished speaking, Loki became interested. She came to Xiao Lin's side and whispered:
"Can you do a little show?"
"...the one inside?"
"That's right, my wife."
Loki's fingers kept trembling, and paired with her devilish smile, she looked like a wretched uncle.
I forgot, even though this guy is a woman, he always likes to harass beautiful girls.
After learning that she had that special weapon, the first thing that came to mind was that kind of prank. Kobayashi actually saw the shadow of Sato Kazuma in her body.
They are all the same nasty, evil beasts.
...Same as Xiao Lin.
"Guhehehehehehehehehehe!"
"Guhehehehehehehehehehe!"
The two of them suddenly showed the same indescribable smile, and then they looked like they had met a close friend, crossing their arms in a gesture of brotherly love.
Riveria couldn't help but sigh after seeing it, and said: "Although I don't know what strange consensus you have reached, please don't do strange things here, because it really damages the majesty of [Loki Familia]. please."
The strong Mamasang rarely lowered her head to plead, so Xiao Lin naturally wanted to give her some face.
"In that case...are you ready? The big one is coming!"
"Oh oh oh oh oh oh!!!"
Xiaolin stretched out his hand, revealing his black gloves, making Loki howl with excitement.
Then--
With a flick of his wrist, several threads shot out from his fingertips, and an inconspicuous light went straight to the werewolf Bert who was tied to the beam.
After three or two strokes, he was tied tightly, and the method was a special way of returning home.
...Although it seems that the werewolf Burt is not shy.
But Loki didn't care, and instead howled more violently in excitement: "Oh oh oh oh oh oh!!!"
The other adventurers in the tavern who were always observing this area also let out violent howls.
The loud sound startled passersby, who were all curious about what was going on inside.
Xiao Lin smiled proudly.
Finally, finally did it!
He had been looking forward to this opportunity since the day the gloves were made.
But the team is full of problem children, and a little carelessness will cause a big commotion, so he has been enduring it until now.
Even though the subject was an orc, even though the subject was a male, he was satisfied.
A comfortable smile appeared on his face.
Then, he saw Aniya and Hill at the counter, their little mouths slightly open with slightly surprised and incredulous expressions, looking at him with inexplicable eyes.
Before Xiao Lin could explain, Aniya ran over to him, patted his shoulder and comforted him: "Don't worry! No matter what weird habits your brother has, Aniya will always be your sister!"
What a generous sister!
But what you do actually proves that I have a strange hobby!
I would really appreciate it!
Liu Zi took advantage of the opportunity to hit the target and said venomously: "Master Xiaolin, could it be that 'beep——' and 'beep——' and 'beep——' can't satisfy you, and now you want to change your target into a werewolf? And he is still a werewolf who is unsatisfactory in every aspect, even a male..."
"No, that's not right! It's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding!!!"
Xiao Lin couldn't help but defend loudly.
At this moment, Loki was pointing at the werewolf Burt who had returned home and was laughing. Xiaolin was covering his chest and kneeling on the ground, feeling sad. He actually sketched out a picture that was hard to describe. It was really eye-opening. .
[Loki Familia] is really noisy.
The party lasted for a long time and didn't end until late at night.
But Xiaolin did not leave directly. Instead, he came to the counter and sat down under the gaze of the store manager Mia's mother.
"What for, kid?"
"Nothing, I just came to apologize to you."
Under the intimidating gaze of Mia's mother, Xiao Lin did not show any timidity. He slowly took out a small bag from his arms and placed it on the counter.
There is a slight sound of coins colliding.
"I'm very sorry for the commotion that just caused."
"…………"
Mia's mother didn't reply, but kept looking at him.
"M-Mia's mother..."
"Mia's mother."
It wasn't until Aniya and Hill begged for mercy that she slowly withdrew her pressure, snorted coldly and said, "You're lucky, brat. If you had left again just now, I would never let you step in." This pub!”
It turned out that what really made her angry was the first time Xiao Lin escaped.
Because of his close interaction with Aniya and being watched by the adventurers in the tavern, he chose to quickly fade away from everyone's sight.
I guess Mia’s mother was angry that time.
"sorry!"
"Um."
After hearing Xiaolin's apology, Mia's mother nodded with satisfaction.
Then……
"There is also this, please accept it." Xiao Lin took out a small bag of coins from his arms again and placed it on the counter.
Mia's mother asked in confusion: "What is this? If it's food money, those people (Loki Familia) just paid the bill for you."
"No, I actually paid for someone else."
"other people?"
"A certain boy who had a meal tonight."
Xiao Lin reminded me a little.
There was only one boy eating the King's meal tonight. Mia's mother naturally knew who she was talking about, but she did not accept it and asked, "Do you know that guy and what is your relationship with him?"
"No, I have nothing to do with him." Xiao Lin was silent for a moment and said, "It's just that the danger that boy suffered was caused by me, so..."
Even though Bell took this opportunity to get into trouble with Sword Princess Ais, it was still Xiaolin who put him in danger.
"I see, I know." Mia's mother accepted the money and asked again: "Hey, kid, are you an adventurer?"
"...Let's call it that."
"In this case, let me give you a message. If you want to become stronger, you must eat well, sleep well, and rest well! Got it!"
Mia's mother suddenly said something strange.
Anyone else would have thought she was teasing her on purpose. After all, this was no way to become stronger.
But knowing that it was this kind of [simplicity] that created [the fierce] Ota, Kobayashi understood that this was the key to becoming stronger. Does this mean that Xiaolin has grown to the same height as Ota?
"Thank you for your teachings, I will keep them in mind."
Xiao Lin bowed deeply to her.
Turn around and leave the tavern.
When Xiao Lin left the tavern, Hill hurriedly ran out from behind, holding the door with his hand and looking at his back.
Mia's mother was slightly startled when she saw it, and then said after a moment of silence:
"Don't go too far."
"I will, Mommy Mia."
Hill's eyes showed a divine light.
