"Um... doesn't it matter if you don't catch up?"
Bell asked.
For some reason, Sato Kazuma suddenly cried and ran out.
He looked very hurt.
Xiao Lin, who knew why, said indifferently: "Leave him alone, that guy will be back tomorrow morning at the latest."
"Aha……"
Despite what Kobayashi said, Bell couldn't help but feel guilty, and couldn't help but wonder if he had done something to offend Sato Kazuma.
What a good kid, it's obviously not his fault.
As for Sato Kazuma, there is nothing to comfort him. It is just jealousy and he will be back soon.
Just like Xiaolin thought.
And not even the next day, but within an hour, he came back from outside calmly.
The refreshed Sato Kazuma had a peaceful smile on his face, as if all the negative emotions had been cleared away in one fell swoop. If anything, he changed his profession from a black knight to a sage.
"Look, I said he'll be back soon."
Xiao Lin has already seen through everything.
Bell asked very worriedly: "Mr. Sato, are you okay?"
"it's okay no problem."
"But you just..."
"it's okay no problem."
Sato Kazuma waved his hand to indicate that it didn't matter, and no matter what Bell said, he still looked calm, and there was no trace of the jealous and twisted look just now.
This frightened Bell, and he exclaimed: "Oh no, Mr. Sato has become Mr. Nothing!"
"So everyone said it's okay."
Kobayashi shook his head helplessly, stood up and came to Sato Kazuma and patted him on the shoulder.
"Sato-kun, although the succubus shop is good, don't be greedy."
"I hate it, Kobayashi-senpai. I just did some mutually beneficial things with those lovely ladies. Besides, they will be very disappointed without me. If they are disappointed, they will leave, and the male adventurers in the town will also He will go crazy, and the world may be destroyed if he is not careful."
"The world will not be destroyed that easily."
"Hehehehe..."
Looking at Sato Kazuma who kept giggling like an idiot, Xiaolin didn't expect it would have such a big impact on him.
It is said that jealousy can make a person completely unrecognizable, and it seems that it is not unfounded.
"Excuse me." Bell suddenly interrupted and asked curiously: "What is a succubus shop?"
He didn't mean anything else, just out of curiosity.
After all, the contrast between Sato and Kazuma was so great that it aroused great interest in the young man.
"Oh, Bell, do you want to know?"
As if seeing a close friend, Sato Kazuma leaned forward and leaned into his ear, arm in arm, and said seductively: "How about you let me take you to have a good experience? It can be said to be a man's paradise."
It is full of probing words, like a demon tempting people to fall.
Bell instinctively wanted to escape.
Despite his naivety, his sense of danger is quite good and he can escape quickly every time when things go wrong.
This time is no exception.
"No, no need, I'd better not go."
Rabbit, who had a bad premonition, quickly refused.
Sato Kazuma did not give up and said: "Don't say that, it is a man's paradise there. Once you go there, you will never want to leave."
"Thank you for your kindness, but I still don't need it!"
Bell again refused.
[Men’s paradise], this word sounds very bad when you hear it.
"Okay, Sato-kun, not everyone is as obsessed with the Succubus Shop as you are."
Kobayashi angrily scolded Kazuma Sato, and then said to Bell: "The Succubus Shop is Axel's specialty. If you translate it into words that you can understand, Bell, it is a place similar to Flower Street."
"F-Flower Street?!"
Bell's eyes widened.
Although due to Xiao Lin's intervention, he did not meet Haruhime, nor did he experience the hospitality of the enthusiastic prostitutes in Flower Street. But after all, he is an adventurer living in the labyrinth city. The destruction of [Ishtar Familia] is also closely related to him, so he still knows something about Flower Street.
"In other words, Mr. Sato-kun actually went to have fun just now?"
The innocent rabbit looked at Sato Kazuma in disbelief.
He never expected that the other party would actually run out and do that kind of thing.
"I can tell what you're thinking by looking at your expression, but I still have to say that you misunderstood."
"Misunderstand?"
"Ah, succubus is a creature that relies on energy to survive, and male adventurers are a group of energetic guys, so they will only absorb excess energy and will not harm the adventurers themselves. Also, they will not Contact with adventurers, everything happens in a dream, which is why it became featured and well-received.”
"Aha……"
Although he gave a detailed explanation, Bell still seemed to have a vague understanding of it. It was probably because the culture of the other world made him a little uncomfortable.
"Sure enough, we should take him there, okay?"
"Right, Senior Xiaolin, let's take him there!"
Kobayashi's proposal was strongly endorsed by Sato Kazuma.
Xiao Lin is very tolerant of children who are curious about knowledge.
I am also willing to lead him to explore it.
It won’t hurt your body anyway.
Bell shook his head and strongly refused on the grounds that he would catch the Flash Running Lizard tomorrow.
Obviously the innocent rabbit still didn't want to go to that strange place, which made Sato Kazuma sigh and said that he couldn't experience the ultimate comfort.
"Speaking of which, where are Aqua, Hestia and the others?"
Sato Kazuma looked around the living room and saw no one else.
You must know that there are as many as ten people in this mansion now, but only Xiao Lin and Bell were seen in the living room. They were quiet and not as noisy as before, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.
In this regard, Xiao Lin said helplessly: "The two of them were drunk, and other people had to take care of them."
"How should I put it? Various things happened after Mr. Sato left."
Bell also had an expression that he didn't want to think about.
In fact, Aqua and Hestia simply drank too much and acted coquettishly in front of Krillin and Bell.
Originally, it was enough to put them to sleep, but for some reason the two of them got into a fight again, which affected other people, causing the mansion to become extremely noisy.
Before Sato and Manzai returned, it was Kobayashi and the apologetic Bell who tidied up the messy mansion.
"It should be said that Sato-kun, you are lucky to have left early."
"...Well, even if I didn't say it, I would probably guess it."
Kazuma Sato felt the same way.
It was extremely noisy when it was just the five of them without Xiaolin, and now there is Hestia who refuses to admit defeat, so you can imagine how noisy it will be.
"So, no one else can come out?"
"It seems so."
The girls have to take care of Aqua and Hestia, and they probably won't be able to escape.
"Really, that's really a pity."
Sato Kazuma said this, but there was no regret at all on his face.
"Sato-kun, what bad idea are you planning?"
"No! Really, Senior Xiaolin, who do you think I am!"
Xiaolin's words stung the man in front of him, causing him to jump to his feet and yell.
"I just wanted the three of us to go out and have some fun."
"Going to the succubus shop?"
"...just strolling around."
Sato Kazuma was completely speechless.
Is he the kind of person who seems to run off to the succubus shop to play if he disagrees?
...It seems to be true.
The self-aware man couldn't help but cover his forehead.
"Yes, even if you want to catch the Flash Running Lizard, there is no rush." Xiaolin thought his proposal was good and said to Bell: "How about, do you want to experience Axel's customs? It's different from the maze city. interesting."
"If you don't go to the succubus shop."
"I won't go!"
Sato Kazuma looked angrily, then pushed Bell and walked out.
Xiao Lin also told Liu Zi not to follow.
I still feel a little uncomfortable when a girl is around.
The three of them left the mansion.
To be honest, Axel is really not as good as Labyrinth City. After all, one is the edge of the country and the other is the center of the world. The prosperity is completely inferior.
Especially when the feature of the succubus shop was rejected first, it seemed that there was really no place to go.
"It seems like this is the only place."
"...I understand the truth, but why do you want to come to this street?"
The three of them, Xiao Lin, were standing at the beginning of a certain street, looking at the guests in pairs inside, and the corners of their mouths couldn't help but twitch.
Just look at the caring vendors everywhere and you will know that this is a famous dating destination.
But these three grown men actually came to this place. I really didn’t know what to say.
"Don't say that, there are still many fun places here."
Sato Kazuma has a different opinion.
He led the two of them through the streets in a familiar manner, as if he knew the streets very well.
I really don’t know why he, a single guy, is so familiar with this street.
Could it be that he was looking forward to going on a date with a cute girl one day, so he came to the spot in advance to prepare the perfect strategy so that he wouldn’t make a fool of himself?
But in Xiao Lin's opinion, he will definitely come back disappointed due to rain, stall closure, location change, etc.
I hope it won’t come true by then.
Weaving back and forth among the crowded crowd, led by Sato Kazuma, the three of them came to a stall.
This is a mini-game where you can take away the puppet by shooting it with a bow and arrow.
And by coincidence, this was the same stall he had accompanied Youyou to.
"Sato-kun..."
"Actually Amy wants that Charmander puppet, so please!"
"Isn't that Amy a succubus?"
"Yes, that's right!"
Sato Kazuma admitted straightforwardly and bent down.
I really don't know how he hooked up with the succubus, but when he thinks that Dust, the guy who is also known as Axel's little gangster with Sato Kazuma, can attract a young female succubus, Xiaolin doesn't care. .
"But Sato-kun, didn't you see this sign?"
Xiao Lin pointed to the sign posted at the vendor's door.
It says "Archers and people with sniper skills are prohibited from shooting", which means that Xiao Lin can't take action. Moreover, the stall owner has been staring at Xiao Lin from the beginning, and he will immediately stop it if he seems to have any intention.
"I know it too, so..."
"Could it be..."
The two of them turned their heads together and looked at a boy with white hair and red eyes.
"Eh? Me?!"
Bell was startled, then quickly waved his hand and refused: "No, no, no, no, I have never used a bow and arrow, absolutely no!"
"This is what you want, Bell!"
Sato Kazuma patted him on the shoulder.
The purpose of this kind of game is to make a profit, otherwise it would not have the kind of brand with conditions, which means that Bell is just right for people who have never used a bow and arrow.
After constant persuasion from the two of them, Bell agreed.
Then Bell awkwardly picked up the bow and arrow, and with the face of the stall owner thinking that he would make a small profit, he shot the puppet Sato Kazuma wanted with one shot.
"Eh?!"
The stall owner was stunned.
Such a result has been expected for a long time. Even though Bell has never used a bow and arrow, he is still a LV3 adventurer, and he is still very accurate at a distance of ten meters.
In order to prevent the stall owner from suffering heavy losses, he gave up the remaining rounds and left under the grateful gaze of the stall owner.
After getting his favorite doll, Sato Kazuma was very happy and offered to treat him tonight.
Thanks to this, Bell ate a lot of novel and delicious food.
When they were about to reach the end of the street, they found a group of people blocking the road ahead. It seemed like something had happened.
The curious three people approached.
At first glance, it turns out to be a strike force game, which is similar to hitting an object. Through force conduction, something similar to a weight will rise. In this way, the strength is tested.
It was nothing at first, but because the prize was a piece of Adamantite, it attracted so many people to watch.
"Is there anyone, is there anyone? As long as 1W Eris, if you can make the weight hit the bell above, you can take away this piece of Adamant ore worth 30W Eris! Is there anyone, is there anyone? Do you want a challenge?!"
Even though the stall owner kept shouting and the prizes were very generous, those people just watched and did not step forward to try.
It seems quite difficult.
Xiaolin said to Bell: "How about it, do you want to give it a try?"
"No, I'll just-"
"Didn't your weapon get damaged in the battle with [The Fierce Bull]? It's the hardest ore in the world, and even my weapon is made of it. If it's made into a weapon, it's not as good as yours." [Blade of Hestia], but it is far superior to the previous dagger, and will not be a hindrance in battle."
"..."
"How about it, do you want to try it?"
"Um."
This time he agreed simply.
In order to defeat the opponent, Bell takes the [Mighty Bull] as his target, and his mobility is terrifying.
Then three people stepped forward.
The stall owner smiled brightly when he saw it and said enthusiastically: "I didn't expect another challenger to appear! This guest, do you want to try your skills?!"
Deliberately provocative words heated up the atmosphere.
Very marketing tool.
Bell was also very proud and nodded solemnly.
The stall owner didn't care and said loudly: "Then, please unleash your potential and let the audience present see your strength!"
Bell was about to pay, but found that he had no money in this world.
Kazuma Sato was very discerning and took out 1W Eris, and gave him a thumbs up and a smile to cheer him up.
Encouraged, Bell nodded solemnly.
The stall owner shouted again: "There is no time limit, but you can only take one shot! There is no limit on the method, whether it is attack or magic! As long as the weight can hit the bell above, 30W worth of Eris' Adamantite will be You can take it away! This guest can start when he is ready!"
Bell nodded.
He closed his eyes and began to take a deep breath. At the same time, as an inexplicable bell rang, white light spots continued to gather on his right wrist.
"Huh? Where's the sound coming from?"
"This bell is..."
"It came from that boy!"
"What magic is that?"
Bell, who had already regarded the facility in front of him as an imaginary enemy, subconsciously activated his strongest skill.
——Heroic wish.
The more energy is accumulated, the higher the bonus will be.
In the face of unreasonable and overwhelming power, a negligible force can achieve a reversal, which is a heroic blow.
Now, his maximum charging time is three minutes.
As time passed by, the bright light on Bell's wrist became more and more dazzling.
Finally, Bell stretched out his right hand, pointed forward and shouted:
"——Fire Lightning!"
boom! ! !
Exaggerated flames erupted instantly in the dark night, and the vendors, vendor owners, and onlookers were all blown up to the sky by this violent magic.
The sudden explosion disturbed the passers-by.
The streets were once again in riots.
Amidst the yelling and scolding, the three people took advantage of the chaos and fled from there.
Sato Kazuma wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a tone of survivors: "Fortunately, I ran fast, otherwise I would have been caught by that evil spirit Senna and thrown into prison."
"Ah, you're right."
Xiao Lin also echoed.
Bell apologized: "I'm sorry, I seem to have caused trouble."
"It doesn't matter, it's such a small thing."
"Actually, this is a common thing in Axel."'
"Aha……"
Kobayashi and Sato Kazuma's words were not comfort at all. Bell always felt that something was wrong but couldn't explain it.
The plot of the succubus shop was originally going to be developed, but the existence of Bell could easily overwhelm the story, so I avoided writing anything else.
