I like traveling the most

Night.

Surrounded by darkness, under the crescent moon hanging high in the sky, the labyrinth city of Orario is filled with the light of countless magic stone lamps.

The solemn Pantheon, the thriving adventurer streets centered on the Adventurer Guild headquarters, the industrial zone with overlapping sounds of iron blocks bursting, the theater and the casino, and the thunderous applause and cheers resounding through the surrounding downtown areas.

Accepting the favor of the dungeon, the labyrinth city is still prosperous today.

The crowd is noisy.

In terms of prosperity, Axel is far behind.

"I'm late..."

Xiaolin sighed slightly as he stood outside the huge white building.

Now it's dark, and the Adventurer Guild has closed early. The closed door seems to say that if you want to handle business, please get up early tomorrow.

It seems that I can't become an adventurer tonight.

Xiaolin has no idea of ​​being an unlicensed knight. After all, not everyone can go down to the dungeon. Even though it was a toilet that anyone could use, at least on the surface it was a field that only adventurers could enter, and forced entry was still not allowed.

Moreover, the dark faction was still operating in secret, and if he was misunderstood as that group of people, he would be in tears.

Besides, it would be much more convenient to have an identity. It didn't cost money, regardless of race, gender, age, and anyone who wanted to become an adventurer could do it, and he had no reason not to do it.

"Master Xiaolin, what should we do now?" Liu Zi reminded: "We are too conspicuous standing here. If Master Xiaolin holds a small bowl in your hand, I think passers-by will definitely give you a reward."

Xiaolin and Liu Zi were too dazzling, whether it was their dress or their appearance and temperament, they were very eye-catching.

In addition, the two of them stayed here for a long time, which had attracted the attention of passers-by. Some people even wanted to come up and have a chat.

Xiaolin pondered for a moment and said, "Liu Zi, are you tired?"

"I'm not tired, because I'm a puppet. Could it be that the high temperature in the desert has burned your brain, Xiaolin? Have you forgotten that I'm actually a puppet?" Liu Zi said expressionlessly.

The perfect waiter is still sharp-tongued.

But Xiaolin took her hand and said with a smile on his face, "No, you're tired. So, let's go and rest now."

"Xiaolin, it seems that Lady Esdeath and the others haven't squeezed you enough."

"...Why do you mention them?"

"Isn't it? You can't wait to vent just after nightfall. I have to say that your strong desire is comparable to that of Lady Darkness."

"Misunderstanding, it's a misunderstanding!"

Liu Zi didn't lower her voice, so that passers-by looked at Xiaolin with inexplicable emotions, with envy, jealousy, and loss, as if they thought that the cute girl who was held by Xiaolin's hand tonight could not escape the clutches of the devil.

...Although there was no need to escape the clutches of the devil.

Xiaolin looked around, and before the righteous man appeared to stop him, he took Liu Zi's hand and ran away quickly.

Why do I feel so guilty?

Oh, it turns out that I really did something bad to Liu Zi, then it's okay.

There are eight big streets in Orario, which radiate from the city center and extend from eight directions to the city wall surrounding the maze city.

It may be easier to understand the overall appearance of the circular city as a cake, and the eight streets just divide the cake into eight equal parts.

When distinguishing the various big streets, residents generally call them North Street, Northeast Street, etc. according to the directions.

And now, Xiaolin is on West Street. To be precise, it is outside a store on the side of West Street.

The store doesn't look big, and there is an open-air cafe outside, but now it's night, and there are no customers sitting there leisurely drinking coffee.

There is a wooden sign hanging on the upper left corner of the door, with a knife and fork painted on it, indicating that this is a place to eat.

Of course, the bustling scene inside also proves that this is a tavern, and a very popular tavern.

——The bountiful hostess.

"Master Kobayashi, is this the shop you keep asking passers-by about? I'm sorry, I forgot that Master Kobayashi is still a human body that needs to eat." Liu Zi looked at the lively scene in the shop and understood why Xiao Lin asked her if she was tired just now.

To be precise, she was hungry.

Xiao Lin couldn't help but complain: "Please Miss Liu Zi, don't mock me with that tone of flesh and blood, weak and mechanical ascension. At least I have no intention of becoming a mechanical creature now."

"That's a pity."

Although he said it was a pity, his expression did not change at all. The perfect waiter in front of him was more eager for immortality than Xiao Lin.

"Then Master Kobayashi, do you want to go in?"

"Of course."

Before he met the goddess Freya, he had to consider whether to set foot here. But now that he knew that the goddess of beauty was not interested in him, he had no psychological pressure.

As we all know, a tavern with a mix of people is the most convenient and easiest place to collect intelligence. In addition, the rich hostess is particularly popular, so high-level adventurers and even the [Loki family] come here for dinner. Xiaolin has no reason not to come here to inquire about the news.

Yali has successfully restored the country, and the goddess Freya has disappeared. He urgently needs to know what time it is now.

Without stopping, he walked into the tavern.

"Welcome! Guests, both of you!"

As soon as he stepped forward with his left foot, a dark shadow jumped over from the side and hugged his arm enthusiastically. A soft touch flowed into his mind along the skin, and at the same time, a cute and playful voice sounded in his ears.

Xiao Lin's body froze.

It wasn't until he saw clearly that there were a pair of brown cats on top of the girl in front of him and her tail swinging wildly behind her that he gradually calmed down.

The cat girl asked with concern: "Is everything okay? Is the guest feeling uncomfortable? Meow?"

"...No, I just didn't expect the clerk to be so enthusiastic." Xiao Lin shook his head slightly.

By the way, you should meow earlier!

If you meow earlier, wouldn’t I be less scared?

——Ania Frommel, the cat-human holding her arm in front of her, with a cheerful personality and no sense of distance, is a real cat-eared girl. At the same time, she is also the sister of Ellen Fromomore.

It was the cat man who grinned at Xiao Lin outside the palace of goddess Freya.

Why is my sister cheerful and generous and kind to others, but my brother is the kind of sickly man who dislikes everyone and only loves goddesses?

The gap is too big!

"Aniya, you scared the guests."

A soft but equally cheerful voice sounded in my ears.

Turning his head, Xiao Lin's pupils couldn't help but shrink slightly.

She has short silver-gray hair and wears the same maid outfit as the other store clerks. She is a bit petite overall, and she is the type who naturally exudes a pretty temperament. In terms of appearance, she was not even as beautiful as the exquisite Liu Zi, but for some reason Xiaolin's eyes fell uncontrollably on the cute girl in front of him.

——The power of charm.

Xiao Lin knew that Hill was the clone of the goddess Freya, so it was natural that her own charm would overflow.

Since she appears here, it means that Freya has returned to the labyrinth city.

"Hill!"

Anya greeted her cheerfully.

Hill said apologetically to Xiao Lin: "I'm sorry, this guest, Aniya is too imprudent."

"Wait, Hill, you can't blame me!" Aniya defended herself: "Because the guests have been standing outside, but I restrained myself from going out. Of course I have to entertain the guests warmly after finally waiting for them to come in. Meow!"

It turns out she saw herself.

"That can't cause trouble to the guests! Has Ania forgotten what Mia's mother said?"

"Mia's mother...!!!"

Hill's words made Aniya's tail stand straight up. It seemed that the dwarf store manager's power made the cat-eared girl very scared.

"Sil, please, meow! Please don't tell Mia's mother! I will do it, no matter what Hill says, I will do it, meow! Please, meow!" Aniya hugged Hill's arm desperately Begging for mercy and meowing are even more exciting.

Unfortunately, she was not pleading with Xiao Lin.

"That's not right, Aniya." Hill instead looked at Xiao Lin and said, "The person you are apologizing to should be this guest, right?"

"Guest, I'm sorry, meow!"

Aniya lowered her head and apologized to Xiao Lin. The tail behind her also became sluggish and lost its vitality.

Hill was still smiling, the corners of his mouth forming a perfect arc that was printed on his pretty face.

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter." Xiao Lin waved his hand and said: "I don't hate this kind of enthusiasm. I would rather say that I am happy to be greeted eagerly."

"Really Meow?!"

"Yeah, really."

With such a cute cat-eared girl in front of him, Xiao Lin couldn't help but reach out to her and want to rub Aniya's little head.

He swore that it was really a subconscious move.

As soon as they got on board, not only Aniya and Hill, but also Xiao Lin were stunned.

"...Eh?" X3

The next second, he removed his palm as if he was electrocuted, and then apologized quickly: "Hug, I'm sorry! It's probably because Miss Aniya is so cheerful that I couldn't help but make such an abrupt move. I'm really sorry!" "

"...No, it's okay, nya~"

Aniya scratched her cheek lightly with her fingers, looking slightly shy.

Very cute!

It's not that Axel doesn't have any demihumans, it's just that with Aqua and a few other problem children around, he's already so busy that he really has no time to take care of the other demihumans.

Xiao Lin also didn't expect that Aniya was so lively that he couldn't control himself. Or is it that he actually has a hobby of hiding cat-eared girls?

Liu Zi beside him said with a cold expression, "Mr. Xiaolin, as your waiter, I didn't expect that you have other hobbies, which is really disqualifying. But no matter what, you should not take action against other people. If you are guarded, Their arrest will really lower my character. Please be patient before I go back to prepare the cat-eared maid."

"Miss Liuzi?!"

Xiao Lin screamed.

Liu Zi's poisonous tongue does not distinguish between people and situations. This is something she has engraved in the program and is also one of her cute features.

Xiao Lin likes his waiter very much.

Except for her venomous tongue.

Even if it was blocked for a moment each time, it would still be the same as before. That little mouth made Xiao Lin both love and hate it.

But what Xiao Lin didn't expect was that Aniya took his hand and put it on her furry head with cat ears again. At the same time, she rubbed it with an expression of slight enjoyment and comfort.

"Sure enough, it's so comfortable, meow~"

"Anya?"

Aniya is very lively and cute and gets close to others. She is very popular in the pub and has many fans. But she has never been so close to the person she met for the first time like now, and she even actively begs for a rub.

Xiao Lin didn't dare to move his hands.

Because he was currently having a passionate affair with the cute and popular maid, and was being stared at with jealous, angry, and envious expressions by all the adventurers in the tavern.

If looks could kill, Xiao Lin might have died several times.

If you think about it carefully, the maids in the tavern are treasures, existences that cannot be desecrated from a distance. But now that you are having a heated fight with an unknown man, you will naturally be hostile to others.

Hill pulled the cat-eared girl.

"Aniya, how could you do this? It will cause trouble for the guests!"

"But, it's really comfortable, meow~"

"You can't do that, Mia's mother will be angry."

"I will do it even if Mia's mother is angry!"

[Am I catnip? 】

【Are you a beauty god? 】

Xiao Lin and Hill showed strange expressions at the same time.

Unexpectedly, Mia’s mother didn’t even mention her shock when she moved out, and Aniya looked deeply poisoned.

Xiao Lin took the initiative to rescue her and said: "Please don't blame Miss Aniya, it was my abrupt behavior. I'm sorry, because Miss Aniya is lively and cute, and she is very similar to my sister, so..."

"Sister?!" Aniya's eyes lit up and she shouted: "Please let me be your sister, please let me be your guest's sister, meow!"

"Anya?!"

Hill was surprised.

Aniya said words one after another that were not in line with her character, and it was difficult not to make people wonder whether Xiaolin had done something.

However, Xiao Lin did nothing. He was even confused and almost on the verge of crying.

Because Hill (Freya) looked at him with an expression of interest that was getting stronger and stronger, and if this continued, it was likely to cause unnecessary trouble.

"Sister, sister?"

"Yes, please let me be the guest's sister!"

It's best that you're not talking about your love sister.

"Aniya, you scared the guests."

"Hill~~~"

"no."

It was obviously a very slight voice, but Hill calmed Aniya down.

Seeing this, Xiao Lin hurriedly said: "Ahem, it seems that I am not suitable here now. I'm sorry, I will come again tomorrow!"

Then he turned and left without saying a word.

Looking at his back, Hill couldn't help but ask: "Aniya, what's wrong with you?"

"Because it's really comfortable, meow~" Aniya said with obvious aftertaste: "That gentle, tolerant and pure breath is really comfortable, meow. I've never felt that way before, meow! It's like my whole soul is It’s like being washed, meow!”

Forgive her vocabulary for being so sparse, but she relies on her meows and rich expressions and body language to vividly convey how comfortable it is to have Kobayashi's head touched.

Hill was sure that this was definitely not the ability to charm.

Looking at Xiao Lin's back, there is obvious divinity in his eyes.

The next second.

The extremely pure sky blue comes into view.

Hilton was stunned on the spot, and it wasn't until Xiaolin's figure disappeared into the crowd that she regained consciousness.

"...Er... Hill?!"

"What's wrong, Anya?"

"Are you okay? Why are you in a daze?"

"I'm fine, I'm just a little curious about the guest just now."

"What?! No, meow! Even if it's Hill, I can't give up my sister's position, meow!"

I have no idea what the cat-eared girl next to me is fighting for, but... Hill is really interested in Xiao Lin.

How can a stone wrapped in jade transform into a transparent jade?

She was curious.

During the writing, Aniya was actually written as Aqua, and I didn’t notice it even after I finished writing. Fortunately, I discovered and corrected it before the pre-release self-examination.

MD, Aqua!
