"Wiz, please help me prepare some magic crystals."
"Okay, I'll go now!"
Wiz happily agreed and ran into the store with the rabbit on his chest.
Xiaolin is now in Wiz's magic item shop.
Every time he sets out to adventure in other worlds, he will come here to replenish his necessities and look for any useful magic items.
This is already the norm.
As for magic crystals, which often work wonders, kill people, set fires, and travel at home, it is natural to prepare more.
After Wiz left, Barnier prepared tea for him.
"Please use the highest quality tea leaves in our store and the black tea brewed by our best staff."
"Thank you, Mr. Barnier."
"You're welcome! After all, you are our biggest and most distinguished customer. If we can't treat you well, it would be a complete dereliction of duty on my part!"
The Duke of Hell, a former cadre of the Demon King's Army who served as a store clerk and led the demons, was very polite.
Hey, hey, this is not how you treat Aqua.
Although he is very respectful now, if he meets that stupid goddess, the two incompatible people will definitely come to blows.
While Xiao Lin was drinking tea, the tall Barnier bent down and moved closer to him while nodding from time to time and making strange sounds in his mouth.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah."
"...If you have anything to say, just say it."
"You seem to be going on a trip."
"Travel? Sort of."
Xiao Lin felt strange. Barnier is a great demon who can spy into the future. He should know that he can travel across the world, but he is not sure from his tone?
Barnier seemed to see Xiaolin's suspicion. He tapped his forehead with his finger and sighed while explaining: "That's because you are too deeply entangled with the God of Disaster, and the picture I can see with my eyes is not very clear."
I see.
Even though Aqua looks like that, she is a real goddess after all. The aura and divine power possessed by the gods are blocking the prying eyes of the devil.
Probably because he was favored by the goddess, Xiaolin also received some protection.
"Back to the topic." Barnier continued: "Although we can't see clearly, we can still see a little bit. Let me give you a little advice. There will be a lot of battles during your trip, and there is a pair of big hands invisible. Continuously adding fuel to the flames. But with your current strength, you should be able to overcome it."
"Really? Thanks for the advice."
Xiao Lin nodded.
Needless to say, Barnier also had this premonition, and it was very strong.
"But our worries are probably unfounded. After all, you can also peek into the future without the need for others to remind you."
"No, I can't use it."
"Um???"
"I mean, the ability to peer into the future is something I can't use yet."
When [Five Vision Omnipotence] collapsed and truly merged with him, Xiaolin used the ability to peer into the future by chance, and only once.
Of course, this doesn't mean it's a one-off.
It's just that he tried many times later, but he couldn't get the point at all, whether it was magic or divine power.
It just so happens that the person in front of me is an expert at spying on the future.
Xiao Lin took the opportunity to ask: "Mr. Barnier, what can you do about this?"
Barnier pinched his chin and said in surprise: "How strange. At least I think you should have no problem...I don't seem to be able to help with this. But as a senior, I can give you a suggestion: let nature take its course. Your eyes are very It has potential. Even if it is still weak now, it can still evolve and has infinite possibilities."
"Thank you for the compliment, but it doesn't sound like you have any substantive suggestions."
I couldn't help but complain to him.
Just in time, Wiz comes back from behind!
Barnier leaned close to his ear and said: "As a qualified clerk, I have to sell you the best products in our store. Although she has the special ability to still be poor even if she works hard, no matter her appearance or figure, Or maybe her character is the best in the eyes of human beings. How about it, don’t you want to take her away?”
It was like the whisper of a devil, tempting Xiao Lin.
To be honest, he had something on his mind.
but--
Xiaolin reluctantly nodded, then pushed Barnier's face away, and at the same time lectured: "Don't treat Wiz as a commodity, don't you think it's too much?"
"Ah hahaha, what are you talking about? You are a man who clearly wants to agree but is forced to refuse due to the condemnation of his conscience. If you obey your nature, I can still look up to you!"
"I don't need you to look up to me."
"Do you think you care about me? Don't worry, although I am close friends with Wiz, I am a devil and a genderless existence. I am not interested at all in things like male love and female love. On the contrary, there is a lot of stickiness between men and women. I like this sentiment very much! Come on, take this troublesome store manager away quickly!"
"You just think she's troublesome!"
Barnier had spilled the beans after all.
He must have been frightened by Wiz's poor skills during this period, so he promoted her like a commodity like this.
"In this case, I will keep the product for you for the time being and look forward to the day when the customer comes to take her away."
"I told you not to treat Wiz as a commodity. She would be so sad to hear that."
Xiaolin rolled his eyes.
Wiz asked curiously: "What happened to me?"
"Nothing happened." X2
The two said in unison.
Wiz tilted his head cutely and looked at the two people who had a tacit understanding in confusion. He just said "your relationship is so good" and stopped pursuing it.
Xiaolin ignored Barnier's expectant look, looked at the magic crystal on the table and spoke to Wiz.
"Only three?"
"I'm sorry, Mr. Xiaolin! There are only three magic crystals left in the store. It's all Mr. Barnier's fault. I have to say that no one would buy such an expensive and impractical thing in Novice Village. Put those in stock All withdrawn.”
"No, it's okay."
Wiz quickly bowed and apologized, and the bursting clothes drew a perfect arc in front of him. Xiaolin subconsciously moved his hands and leaned back slightly.
Barnier came up to him again and whispered in his ear: "How's it going? Are you interested this time?"
"... Let's talk about it in detail when I get back!"
Xiao Lin pushed up his non-existent glasses.
He didn't expect that he lost to Barnier's temptation in the end, and he hoped Aqua wouldn't go crazy when she found out.
The Duke of Hell, who had reached the contract, said with satisfaction:
"——Thank you for your patronage!"
Not only this transaction, but also the previous orders that were suspended due to lack of deposits - 10 magic crystals per month, and other rare ingredients, etc. are all restored.
Wiz, who had made a lot of money, was smiling, but under Barnier's gaze, which was also smiling, her expression suddenly changed and she started crying.
Ignoring their entanglements, Xiao Lin returned to the mansion after getting the things.
Just when I came back, I saw an unexpected and unexpected scene.
"——Please, Kazuma-sama!"
The idiot goddess was kneeling in front of Sato Kazuma with her whole body prostrated.
What on earth is she doing?
Not only Kobayashi, but even Sato Kazuma was confused by her actions.
"What happened all of a sudden, Aqua?"
"Actually... I was so carried away yesterday that I accidentally drank the guild's most expensive bubble wine."
"That bottle of wine worth 1 million Eris?!"
"Yes Yes……"
Sato Kazuma looked at the embarrassed Aqua with wide eyes and shock. Even he did not expect that the stupid goddess would dare to do such a thing.
But he soon calmed down, glanced at Xiaolin who was silent at the door, and asked Aqua: "Why are you looking for me? Shouldn't you be looking for Senior Xiaolin under normal circumstances?"
"That's what I said. But wouldn't it be bad if Xiaolin knew about it? What if he deducts my pocket money because of this? Kazuma-sama, please help me. After all, you have made a lot of money, right? ?”
Who said before that they don’t care about the money I make?
Aqua's shamelessness is truly astonishing.
Just when Sato Kazuma was about to agree for Kobayashi's sake, Kobayashi said first, "Oh, I didn't expect Aqua to be so considerate of me. I'm really touched~"
"Huh?!!!"
The idiot goddess stiffened, and the strange energy coming from behind frightened her into speechlessness.
Like a rusty robot, it turned its head and smiled fawningly when it saw Xiao Lin.
Xiao Lin also smiled back and said extremely cruel words: "Pocket money, no more."
"……Eh?"
The next second, a heartbreaking shout came from the mansion.
"No, don't ahhhhhhh!!!"
"You deserve it."
Sato Kazuma cast aside a disgusted look at the stupid goddess who was crying until she burst into tears. When he saw Kobayashi getting ready to go, he seemed to have thought of something.
"Senior Xiaolin, are you planning to leave?"
"Well, I'll leave later."
"Really? Then wait for me."
Then he hurried back to the room, and soon came out again, laying a pair of boxy pants flat in front of Xiao Lin.
"……Pants?"
Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a pair of underwear? !
Wait, what's going on with boys giving boys underwear?
Could it be that……? !
Xiao Lin subconsciously stayed away from him.
Unknowingly, Sato Kazuma picked up his underwear and explained enthusiastically: "Didn't the haori made by Aqua not be able to protect clothes, which caused Kobayashi-senpai's whole body to be naked before? So I thought of making a suit that can withstand abnormality. Sexy clothes. Unfortunately, it’s more difficult than I thought, so I’ve only made this trial piece so far.”
"You haven't given up on being a design master yet?"
Xiao Lin complained subconsciously.
Even though there was a slight misunderstanding, even though it was just a trial work, and even though it only had a pair of underwear, I have to say that it was really touching.
"I'll give you some extra pocket money, Sato-kun!"
"Thank you, Senior Xiaolin!"
Then Sato Kazuma talked to him in detail, constantly talking about the benefits of underwear, such as not getting wet, not burning, not breaking, being able to grow in size at will, etc. Inexplicably, he had a vision of green underwear.
Xiao Lin looked at the sky: "Okay, it's almost time."
Sato Kazuma understood that he was leaving, but still asked, "Aren't you going to wait for Darkness and the others to come back?"
"No, it's just an ordinary adventure."
He doesn't care about formalities, so it would be even more awkward to send him off in such a grand way. The key point is that it would be bad if the other problem children made any strange requests, so he left as soon as possible when no one was present.
Just ask Kazuma Sato to say hello or something.
"Okay, then I'll leave."
"Wait a minute, Senior Xiaolin."
Sato Kazuma stopped him again, and Xiaolin turned around and looked at him expectantly.
"What's wrong, Sato-kun, do you have anything new for me?"
"No, how should I put it... Although I shouldn't be the one to dictate, it's just..."
"Hey, stop hesitating, it's not like you at all."
As you can imagine, Sato Kazuma's coy look is completely different from the carefree one he always had.
To be honest, it's a bit disgusting.
Why is the iron-blooded man so pretentious?
Sato Kazuma took a deep breath, then looked directly into his eyes and said: "Senior Kobayashi, don't be timid, go forward boldly like a man!"
"...you too, what did you say all of a sudden?"
"What I'm saying is, don't be cowardly, just do it! Ever since Senior Xiaolin traveled through time, it was okay at the beginning, but the further you go, the more fearful you will be. Especially when you were in the last world, you were nothing like you before. , I don’t know what I’m taking into account! Be more bold! Be tougher! Be more unrestrained!”
"Hello……"
"I've said it a long time ago, don't be timid when you encounter provocation or make things difficult, just fight back fiercely! Isn't that what Senior Xiaolin did in the past? Why doesn't he do it now?"
At this time, he closed his eyes tightly and spoke very quickly with an excited tone, just like a reader who saw that the protagonist (Xiao Lin) in the story was too cowardly and couldn't help but roar loudly and vent his inner dissatisfaction loudly.
This made Xiao Lin very unhappy and subconsciously retorted:
"Hey, don't say it so harshly. What I call it is to assess the situation! Besides, the people I face are all gods, and they are gods who have lived for hundreds of millions of years! So what if you are a little more respectful!"
"In my opinion, you are just timid! Aqua is still a goddess, is it necessary to respect her?"
"You guys, counterattacking without strength is just a matter of ignorance. What should you do if you are targeted?!"
"Run away then!"
"……Aha?"
Sato Kazuma's words made him dumbfounded, why could this guy say such words so easily.
However, he confidently patted Xiaolin on the shoulder and said: "If that time comes, just run away! It doesn't matter, we are all Xiaolin-senpai's backers, so let's show off our skills to the fullest! Right, Aqua!"
"……yes."
The goddess huddled on the sofa replied helplessly, but at least she was on his side.
Xiao Lin was silent.
This is the first time that Sato Kazuma has said this to him. Whether he has an opinion on his actions or that they are his supporters, this is the first time for him.
a long time.
Xiaolin sighed slightly: "That's quite a bitter accusation, Mr. Sato. But you are right, I am indeed a little timid. I know, and I will change."
"Please, Senior Kobayashi. I can't take risks, so all my hopes are placed on you."
"Am I an extension of you in the story?"
I couldn't help but complain to him.
Then, Xiaolin seemed to have thought of something and asked: "Sato-kun. Since you thought so a long time ago, why didn't you remind me earlier? For example, when the lord made things difficult for us?"
"Well, well... you see, didn't Senior Kobayashi say that he can't cause trouble to Darkness' family... or anything like that."
"Yeah, yeah. So what's the real reason?"
"Well...if it fails, Senior Xiaolin can escape, but I will probably be arrested, so I will remain silent."
"You are really a complete scumbag."
Xiao Lin couldn't help but punch him.
