The third day after the war game.
The [Apollo Familia] were dismissed, and their property and mansion were confiscated.
And now, Xiaolin, Bell, Hestia, and their dependents are standing in the spacious manor, looking up at the three-story mansion that requires looking up to see the top.
According to Hestia, there seemed to be an atrium and cloister built inside the mansion, and flowers and plants were planted in the front yard, and it was even surrounded by tall iron railings.
It's a bit more gorgeous than the mansion Xiao Lin bought in "Su Qing".
Hestia puffed up her chest and said triumphantly: "Look! How about it! From today on, this is our headquarters!"
"Oh oh oh oh oh oh!!!"
The members of the family members were moved and exclaimed in admiration.
Xiao Lin also expressed praise, but quickly asked: "So, why am I here?"
"Because you have contributed a lot here, I was specially invited."
"Hmm. So what's the real reason?"
"The Familia has made a name for itself and is preparing to start over again. Soon many Familia will join us. If Xiao Lin wants to join, that's okay."
Hestia pretended to be arrogant and extended the invitation.
Xiao Lin's mouth moved slightly.
Why the condescending attitude?
Even though she is a pure virgin, she has a lot of tricks up her sleeves. At least she is very skilled in this aspect.
Others also looked expectantly.
Rise up, resist, fight, and laugh together. Under normal circumstances, you may just join in.
"But, I refuse!"
"……Um?"
"I like to say NO to self-righteous people the most!"
Xiao Lin crossed his hands on his chest and decisively refused.
Bell and the others pursed their lips, showing obvious disappointment, but they soon felt relieved.
Why should a super genius who was promoted from LV2 (actually LV3) to LV4 in a month join a family that has just started? Even they couldn't guarantee the resources Xiaolin needed for his growth.
Only the two top families in Labyrinth City are qualified to recruit such talented people.
Only Hestia scratched her head and asked stupidly: "Why refuse? After going through hardships, you should agree no matter what you think, right?"
"What gave you this mysterious confidence?"
"I saw it in the book basement collection. The protagonist successfully overcomes the difficulties with the help of a group of friends, and then lives together happily, and so on again and again. Isn't this a consistent routine?"
"Please distinguish between reality and delusion, thank you."
Xiao Lin rolled his eyes at her.
I really wanted to punch Hestia in the face that was so similar to Aqua's.
Generally speaking, shonen manga will follow this routine, but it’s a pity that Kobayashi is not a character in shonen manga. Besides, he is now in the name of [Uranos Familia], how can he join them?
Hestia obviously wanted to say something else, but Bell saw Xiaolin's unfavorable expression and quickly stopped her.
Mistaking the rabbit for being jealous, the virgin looked happy and relieved, but it was the jealous Lily who forced her way into the situation.
Ignoring the noisy three, Kobayashi, Zolf and Ming began to visit Apollo... No, it should be called the [Hestia Familia] station now.
Rooms, balconies, swimming pools, bathrooms, all facilities are available.
There's even a forge!
After the visit, it was already evening. In order to celebrate the victory of the war game, [Hestia Familia] held an internal banquet, and Xiaolin, as the main hero, would appear here for this reason.
After eating and drinking, Xiao Lin stood up and left.
Walking on the street, facing the sunset, surrounded by lively noises, the maze city still looks lively.
But he didn't feel comfortable.
On the contrary, being sensitive to sight, he was a little uncomfortable with the fiery looks coming from all around.
That look was not a simple appreciation of handsome men and beautiful women, but the old man was so hungry when he saw the widow, so aggressive that he was about to devour him. It seemed like she wanted to strip him naked and lick him carefully from top to bottom.
"I said, Liu Zi."
"What's wrong, Master Xiaolin?"
"Don't you think the looks around you are a little too hot?"
"After all, Kobayashi-sama stole the show in the war game that was just held, and it is normal for him to be watched by a group of people. It is really great, except for Aqua-sama, Darkness-sama, or other adults with character flaws. In addition to liking you, finally more people with character flaws like you."
"...Is this something worth being happy about?"
Xiao Lin couldn't help but complain.
The doll girl's poisonous tongue is still sharp, but it also proves the current situation.
——Become a celebrity completely.
Of course, there are also looks of admiration, jealousy, envy, etc., but compared to these, the former has reached the point of making him physically uncomfortable.
Fortunately, they were more restrained and did not rush forward, otherwise Xiao Lin would definitely turn around and run away.
However, the look of eagerness to try that was about to reach the critical point made him clamp down on the back yard and pace faster.
And far away at the top of the Tower of Babel.
The elegant silver-haired goddess shook the goblet in her hand. After taking a deep sniff, my cheeks turned slightly red, as tempting as being drunk.
But no one who saw her would think that she was tasting the red wine in the glass.
Just because Freya's eyes were always focused on Xiao Lin, who was running among the crowd below.
She knew very well that the child was as good as this top-grade red wine. There was no aroma when it was left, and even the color looked dark and dull. But once it was shaken slightly, the red wine in the glass exuded a mellow and sweet aroma, helping her climb to the top.
want to! want to! want to!
She wants that baby!
Meishen dares to pat her chest and tell others that her desire for Xiao Lin is not inferior to anyone else!
However, she will not use despicable or vulgar means to force like Apollo, even if she uses high-sounding words... Oh, she also used a nice word, called 'sorrow love'?
Ridiculous and tasteless!
As the most charming goddess in Labyrinth City, she, represented by [Beauty], needs to be guided in a more elegant and noble way, and then little by little she can bloom with her own brilliance.
Only in this way can he be a partner (Odr) worthy of her!
The Pigman, who was standing in the corner behind her, hiding his whole body in the shadows, after seeing the wolf fleeing in embarrassment below, said in a deep voice: "Lord Freya, do we want to secretly warn the other Familia?"
"No. Let him enjoy it. Don't you think it's too much that a hero can't get the praise and admiration he deserves?"
Freya looked at Xiaolin amusedly, seeming to be amused by his lack of experience in this kind of thing.
'Aren't you afraid of being abducted by other family members? '
Ota really wanted to ask this, but his god didn't care, so he remained silent.
But his strangeness was still noticed.
The beauty raised a beautiful eyebrow.
Ota has always been indifferent. Except for things about the goddess, it seems that nothing can disturb his heart.
But now it seems that's not the case.
The corner of Freya's mouth raised and she said: "That child cannot easily join other Familia's personalities, otherwise he would not be in the name of Ouranos (Guild), and of course other Familia would not be qualified to recruit him. The most important thing is, The other Familia have no friendship with that child."
Otta relaxed slightly.
But immediately, Freya said to him with some taste: "Speaking of which, Otta, you seem to have a very good relationship with Xiaolin, even closer than me. To be honest, I am already a little jealous."
"…………"
Otta knew the temperament of his goddess, but if she was so jealous, what could he say?
Therefore, the LV7 [Fierce], known as the most powerful weapon in Labyrinth City, chose to remain silent under the gaze of the goddess.
the other side.
Xiao Lin pulled Liu Zi and fled on the street, then rushed into a tavern.
"Huh-huh-"
He wiped the sweat from his forehead with lingering fear.
Instead, Liu Zi wondered: "Master Xiaolin, why do we have to run away like criminals who have done bad things? Did you molest a passing girl on the street without my knowledge?"
"I didn't do it. Besides, aren't we always together, whether eating or sleeping?"
"Then why run?"
"...subconsciously."
The elf necklace on Xiao Lin's chest kept warning of danger, and he became inexplicably nervous under the constant warning.
Just running to the pub doesn't mean it's safe.
The adventurers who were drinking and chatting here also exclaimed after seeing the two of them:
"Hey, look! Xiao Lin!"
"It's true, it's really that [explosion]!"
"The awesome person who single-handedly destroyed the [Apollo Familia] really has an extraordinary aura!"
"I heard that he is only LV4, how scary!"
By the way, [Explosion] is Xiaolin’s new title. After getting the war game, the gods in the council hall took advantage of the opportunity to help him get it.
If it were Megumin, she would definitely be very happy.
But Xiao Lin was indifferent to this.
Ignoring these whispers, I went straight to the counter.
When the boss who was receiving guests saw him, he immediately shouted enthusiastically: "Oh, isn't this Xiao Lin who shined in the war game!"
As if to inform the people in the tavern, he spoke loudly. There is a kind of [Internet cafe machine No. XX, a silver master from XXX area! 】The feeling of déjà vu.
Xiao Lin ignored him, but stretched out his hand and said, "Where are my things?"
"It's already been prepared!"
Seeing Xiaolin's unhappy tone, the boss understood why and didn't care. He took out a backpack the size of a suitcase from under the counter.
Throwing it on the counter, it made a pleasant clatter.
It's money, lots of money!
Xiao Lin couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.
This war game is a long-awaited large-scale event in Labyrinth City, so it is natural to place bets on this project with a long history.
Due to the disparity in strength between the two engines, the ratio was once as high as 1:25!
In a sure win, Xiao Lin saw the right opportunity, put all his worth on it, and dragged the ratio to 1:20!
The result is naturally a lot of money.
——200 million Farley!
At this price, you can forge another divine weapon!
Xiao Lin picked up his heavy luggage and walked out with light steps.
But happiness is short-lived.
There are even greater difficulties waiting for him next.
As soon as he walked out of the tavern, he saw a pair of green eyes staring at him in the darkness. After a whole day's backlog, they finally couldn't restrain their inner restlessness.
"Quick! Catch him!"
"We must bring Xiao Lin back to the Familia!"
"Everyone come together!"
"Don't let him get away!"
Due to the rules of the guild, each family member will not rob people, at least not openly.
But this rule doesn't work for one type of person.
To be precise, God.
That's right, these are constantly forming a circle of encirclement, blocking the tavern to the point of being filled with water. They are all the main gods of the dependent families of the labyrinth city, large and small.
In order to catch Xiao Lin, they have gone crazy.
"As long as we can get Xiao Lin, we will definitely become the third largest family in Labyrinth City!"
"That's right! You can't miss it!"
The gods are all a bunch of wanton guys who will do anything to satisfy their desires.
Looking at it this way, is it understandable that a group was formed to arrest Xiao Lin? ...What a ghost!
The circle of encirclement continued to shrink, and the slobbering gods looked at Xiao Lin in the center with lustful eyes.
Forget about the beautiful goddess, why would a group of male gods join in the fun?
"Be good and surrender! Don't be afraid! We will take good care of you! Hehehehehehe..."
"How can it be possible to capture him without any help?"
Xiao Lin carried his luggage with one hand, hugged Liu Zi with the other, and jumped up to the roof of the tavern with both legs.
Looking at the crazy gods below, his back was tight, and he turned around and ran away regardless of them.
——You oil the road!
"Ah! He ran away!"
"Don't even think about running away!"
"Hurry up and catch up!"
"hurry up!"
The gods below were in hot pursuit, determined not to give up until they caught Xiao Lin.
The second major event starts now!
As Xiao Lin fled around on the roof, he soon came to a secluded corner.
"I am a man with [eyes]! Can you catch me? If you can catch me, I will eat him on the spot...!"
"Hey, I caught you!"
Before Xiao Lin could react, a black shadow suddenly jumped out of the cardboard boxes piled behind him and threw him to the ground.
"Uhhhhh!!!"
"It's so itchy~ Don't move, Xiaolin!"
With her playful voice and flat chest, he quickly realized that this person was not Aqua, so he easily pushed her away.
With the help of the magic stone lamp on the roadside, I finally saw her appearance clearly.
Amazon's unique dark skin, bright big eyes and airport without any ups and downs.
"Tiona?!"
"Hey, long time no see!"
Tiona greeted him playfully.
Not only her, but also another girl was accompanying her. The blond girl with golden eyes is none other than Sword Princess Ais, the princess of the [Loki Familia] who is also a celebrity in the Labyrinth City.
"Hello, Xiaolin."
Aisi nodded towards him, then raised the corners of her mouth slightly and said:
"Congratulations on winning the war game."
"Although this is a matter of course, thank you for your congratulations."
Xiao Lin smiled back.
At this time, Tiona suddenly interrupted and asked: "Ais, I caught Xiaolin, is he going to join the [Loki Familia]?"
Aisi nodded: "That should be the case."
Um? ? ?
Kobayashi has a black question mark face.
Why did you get this answer?
It's strange to say that on the surface, this commotion seems to be caused by Xiaolin's too much excellence, but in fact, he already has a family (in name), so he shouldn't cause the gods of the entire labyrinth city to chase him.
It's like as long as he catches himself, he will definitely join the other family's activities...
Xiao Lin asked his doubts.
Tiona explained: "It's God Hermes. It's God Hermes who said that as long as he catches you, he can ask you to join the Familia."
…
kill him!
Definitely kill him!
The next time you see that playboy, you must send him back to heaven!
Xiao Lin's eyes flashed fiercely.
Seeing his expression, Tiona asked doubtfully: "Could it be...that this is fake?"
"That's right. God Hermes lied to you."
"Haaah——?! Then didn't I spend a whole day squatting here in vain?!"
The black-skinned Amazon shouted angrily.
Xiao Lin was speechless. I didn't expect that the girl would squat here all day in order to catch her, and she didn't expect that she would be squatted by the other party! I don't know whether to call her lucky or unlucky.
No, stop it immediately!
If such a scam continues, even if it is not true, it will soon become true.
Thinking of this, Xiaolin said to the two girls: "I'm sorry, I have to go to the guild right now. If this continues, it will definitely cause a big mess."
"Oh, oh... okay then!"
"……Um."
Tiona and Ace nodded.
With the two people's approval, Xiao Lin picked up his luggage, hugged Liu Zi, jumped on the roof again and ran towards the guild.
Tiona said with regret:
"He's gone."
"Um."
"It's a pity that Ais and I have been waiting here for a whole day, but we didn't expect it to be a lie."
"Um……"
Looking at Xiao Lin's back, the blond girl who rarely showed her emotions showed obvious regret for the first time on her pretty face.
Tiona next to her was surprised when she saw it: "Ais? Don't you think it's a pity too?"
I thought my princess would shake her head and deny it, but unexpectedly she nodded simply.
"Kind of."
"Um???"
The person who responded to her was Amazon's question mark face.
This time, the battle for people gradually subsided after the guild issued a clear statement.
