When Kobayashi was drinking tea in the lobby, Sato Kazuma rushed in from outside and shouted to him with excitement:

"Senior Kobayashi, I made money!"

"Huh?"

"I made a deal with Vanir! If I give him the ownership of the product developed with the knowledge I learned on Earth, there will be a transfer fee of up to 300 million Eris!"

"…………"

Hearing his unstoppable pride, Kobayashi was speechless for a while, and then tears of emotion flowed from the corners of his eyes.

...Why cry?

Sato Kazuma was stunned for a moment, then as if he had thought of something, he yelled: "Don't look at me with that kind of [My useless son finally knows how to make money, I am so relieved that I shed tears of emotion] eyes! Please, only that, only that look I absolutely don't want to see ah ah ah!!!"

What is this guy talking about, how could I have such a useless son?

Kobayashi's emotion disappeared instantly.

However, he can make money, and such an exaggerated amount, Sato Kazuma is indeed a natural businessman, his luck is really terrible.

It happened that other people also came to the hall.

No, it's better to say that they were attracted here by Sato Kazuma's loud shouting.

Aqua, whose clothes were a little wrinkled and her hair was quite messy, scratched her belly, staggered out and complained unhappily: "What are you howling about, Kazuma! You have ruined my good nap time, how are you going to accompany me!"

Then she fell into Kobayashi's arms again with sleepy eyes.

Darkness and Huihui also asked questions one after another.

"Kazuma, what do you mean by making money?"

"That's right, and it's an exaggerated number like 300 million Eris. It's incredible no matter how you look at it."

The two of them didn't quite believe it.

Although Yunyun didn't speak, the inquiry and curiosity in her eyes expressed her true thoughts.

After all, 300 million Eris is equivalent to a cadre of the Demon King's Army, so it's understandable that she would be suspicious.

... What, how is it possible!

How much do these guys distrust themselves!

Sato Kazuma clenched his fists, but soon he proudly raised his head and said proudly: "I have reached a deal with Mr. Vanir. The product developed with the knowledge I learned on Earth has a patent value of 300 million Eris! How about it, are you shocked? You can also worship me. If you want to curry favor with me, I suggest you start now. Then I will give you a little bit of alms, hahahaha~~~~"

After that, he started laughing, and the more he laughed, the more he leaned back, almost breaking his waist.

As expected of Axel's most famous scum, he showed the villain's appearance vividly.

Others showed disgusted expressions.

The goddess lying in Kobayashi's arms suddenly woke up after hearing the name of a certain demon, and at the same time, a strong divine power emerged from her body, so strong that Aqua's hair and clothes began to shake.

Aqua asked with a smile: "Mr. Kazuma, did you just say that you made a deal with me?"

"Vanil. What's wrong?"

"Divine Light Fist!"

"Puha————"

Then, Sato Kazuma, who was hit hard on the jaw, spun and flew out.

Amid everyone's surprised expressions, Aqua angrily scolded: "Kazuma, are you an idiot! You actually made a deal with the devil, those guys are complete bugs in the gutter! As a member of the Axis Church, how can you make a deal with the devil!"

"When did I join the Axis Church!" Sato Kazuma, who staggered to his feet with his chin covered, immediately cursed: "If I have to choose between Mr. Vanir and the Axis Church, I will undoubtedly choose the former, you stupid goddess with a problem in your brain!"

"What did you say?!"

"I said what's wrong!"

The two quarreled again.

This is the same as Huihui's daily explosion, and everyone is used to it.

It's just that this time Aqua was too resistant, and it was when Sato Kazuma was showing off proudly, which made him even more upset.

A stupid goddess dared to be so complacent...

"Besides, why are you so angry? That's 300 million Eris, 300 million!"

"So what? Xiaolin will get a bounty from the kingdom soon! It's just 300 million Eris, I don't care!"

"Haa..."

Don't care? You have the nerve to say that. She comes to borrow money from time to time, and you dare to say you don't care.

Sato Kazuma knew that no matter what he said, Aqua would not listen, so he simply shut up and ignored her.

And Xiaolin couldn't help but curl his lips.

Don't care about money, are you also a well-known philanthropist and entrepreneur, and you are not interested in money?

But don't look at Aqua's current nonsense. After a while, she will definitely cry and ask Sato Kazuma to help her because she has no pocket money... No, she may come to find him.

Xiaolin held his forehead and sighed.

At this time, Sato Kazuma said: "Senior Kobayashi, in fact, there is more than one plan. There is another one where the ownership is in my hands, but the profit is only 10% every month, about 1 million eris. Which one should I choose?"

"...You have to decide for yourself."

"Huh?"

"To be honest, I know nothing about business and can't give you any advice in this regard. Sorry, Sato-kun."

Xiao Lin was not going to interfere.

Sato Kazuma is very lucky and is a born businessman. Rather than letting the ignorant Kobayashi intervene, it is better to let Sato Kazuma make a decision based on intuition. Anyway, it will definitely turn out to be a favorable party in the end.

"Huh, I also want to add more savings to the team."

"You don't have to do that."

"What?"

"Sato-kun, as I said, the money earned by the members of the team belongs to themselves, so you don't have to pay the team."

This was a rule that Kobayashi had set, so he didn't even bother with the bounty when Aqua and the others went to pick up the mission privately. The same was true for Sato Kazuma before when he made clothes for nobles.

It is understandable that after making money, Sato Kazuma wants to contribute to the team, or he wants to take the opportunity to show off to the rest of the team.

But rules are rules.

I can only say sorry to him.

"Haah..."

A somewhat disappointed Sato Kazuma sighed, held his chin and left thoughtfully. Seeing him like this, Xiao Lin felt a little regretful, wondering if he had hurt his self-esteem.

"It would be nice if it didn't hurt him."

Xiao Lin couldn't help but think so.

A few days later, another good thing happened.

——The kingdom’s reward money has come down.

Not only that, in order to encourage them for their successive great achievements, Senna was specially asked to hold a commendation ceremony at Axel's Adventurer's Guild.

And today is the day for the ceremony.

"Adventurer, Mr. Kobayashi!"

Under Senna's serious and high-pitched voice, and under the warm gazes of other adventurers, Xiaolin stood in front of the guild's counter.

"On behalf of this town, I would like to express my appreciation with this certificate. At the same time, I would like to commend you with the highest standards for your outstanding contribution to the kingdom, and I would like to express my most sincere gratitude to you!"

After saying that, Miss Kingdom Prosecutor, known as the devil, bowed deeply to Xiao Lin, and Xiao Lin took the certificate of thanks from her hand.

"And Lord Dustiness Ford Lalatina! Your sacrifice in this battle is great! For your performance in living up to the Dustiness family..."

As another key figure, the kingdom awarded Darkness a certificate and very fine armor.

Darkness' face was red and even trembling. People who don't know think that this female knight is excited because of her meritorious service, but in fact, this eldest lady is just trembling with excitement because she deceived the kingdom and thought that if she was exposed, she might be done something like this.

"Congratulations, Xiaolin!"

I don't know who it was, but suddenly started shouting in celebration, and then as if it was contagious, the excited shouts quickly spread throughout the guild.

"As expected of Xiao Lin!"

"I knew he could do it!"

"Hey, Lalatina has made a contribution too!"

"You're right!"

"Lalatina is so cute, Lalatina!"

I don’t know where it started to spread, but Darkness’ real name became known to everyone, and they started calling her that.

The perverted female knight covered her face that was red to the ears with both hands, leaned on the table again, and said in a weak voice: "This, this feeling... is not the kind of humiliation I want...!"

"Don't say that, Darkness."

"Aqua?"

"I think the name Lalatina is very cute, so you should be more confident!"

The stupid goddess without any malice pursued Darkness lying on the table.

The female knight buried her face deeper.

Then Megumin, who came to the next seat specially, couldn't help laughing until her shoulders were shaking, and grabbed her shoulders and shook her hard. It seemed like comfort, but more of a joke.

Seeing that the atmosphere was about the same, Senna spoke again: "——Then! Let's start awarding Mr. Xiaolin's bounty!"

Just one sentence brought the noisy guild back to calm. They looked eagerly at the Kingdom Prosecutor in front of the counter, looking forward to the high bounty that made them jealous, envious and blessed.

Immediately afterwards——

"Adventurer Xiaolin and his team members! You have made great contributions in defeating the Headless Horseman and intercepting the Mobile Fortress Destroyer. You are also extremely active in the expedition against Barnier this time. It can be said that without you, the town will be in war! Therefore... !”

She lengthened her tone, as if she was trying to titillate.

I have to say, she succeeded.

The adventurers stared at her, swallowing nervously, and their hearts gradually accelerated.

Coming! Coming!

Senna nodded with satisfaction and said loudly again: "The kingdom has decided to add an additional 100 million Eris as a bounty! In addition to the 400 million bounty from the Demon King's army leader Barnier, the total is 500 million! And I commend you for your achievements!"

Then she handed over two checks.

Everyone in the guild saw this and burst into excited cheers. The adventurers kept asking Xiaolin to treat him or congratulate him. The atmosphere reached its peak and became as lively as a banquet.

Xiao Lin was also infected by the warm atmosphere and waved his hand:

"Okay—! I'm treating you today!"

"Ohhhhhhhh!!!"

The cheers were deafening.

And in such a joyful moment, a voice that deliberately dragged out its voice as if to show off its evilness intervened in an arrogant and rude manner.

"Give me a moment!"

As the drinking stopped, everyone's cheers stopped.

Under the gaze of others, there was a fat figure at the gate of the Adventurer's Guild. The adventurers surrounding Xiaolin split off a path as he moved forward, allowing him to easily come to Xiaolin.

"Huh? Lord Alderp?"

Senna called out the man's name.

Yes, he was the most unpopular lord in Axel's history, and also the person Xiaolin hated the most.

Alderp came to the center, arrogantly without even looking at Xiaolin, but facing the Kingdom Prosecutor Senna, a sticky voice that gave people goose bumps, saying: "Miss Senna, I have something to say about the attack of the Demon King's Army cadres this time."

"Oh? I wonder what the lord wants to say?"

Senna pushed her glasses.

She hated Alderp very much.

Not only was the hostility of the law enforcer to the evil lord, but more importantly, the other party's eyes that wanted to strip off her clothes and couldn't wait to lick her carefully made Senna uncomfortable all over.

Subconsciously leaned towards Xiaolin.

This action made Alderp snort in dissatisfaction, and his eyes revealed evil: "I want to sue the adventurer Xiaolin!"

"Accusation?" Senna pushed her glasses again, puzzled: "Could it be that Lord Alderp wants to say that Mr. Xiaolin destroyed your mansion and wants him to compensate? But I remember that the kingdom has compensated you for all the incidents?"

Hmm?

The kingdom actually compensated him?

Xiaolin didn't know about this, and his first reaction after hearing it was very unhappy.

You know, he destroyed the mansion on purpose. If the other party got compensation, how can it be called retaliation?

"I'm not talking about this." Alderp smiled contemptuously, then pointed at Xiaolin and shouted: "I'm talking about the things in the lord's mansion. Those valuable treasures were stolen! And the person who stole the things was him!"

Defamation!

Naked slander!

Xiaolin swears that it was definitely not him who took those treasures!

He dared to use a lie detector to prove this!

Because it was Vanir who took away those treasures, and he had nothing to do with it at all!

But Kobayashi's silence made Alderp think that he had caught the murderer, and he said triumphantly: "Those treasures are worth 1 billion Eris, the result of my hard work, I didn't expect that they would be stolen! I want him to compensate!"

1 billion!

This is more than double the bounty issued by the kingdom, and his things are only 300 or 400 million.

This guy is obviously asking for too much.

Senna's eyes became sharp, she pushed her glasses and asked: "Mr. Kobayashi, do you have anything to say about this?"

"... I didn't steal it."

"You are lying!"

Alderp interrupted Kobayashi forcefully, and then said confidently: "At that time, only you and the Demon King's Army cadres were in the lord's mansion. If it wasn't you who stole it, who else could it be?"

"Excuse me, Lord, at that time, it was not only Mr. Kobayashi, but I and the adventurers of the entire town were present."

"Huh?"

Senna's correction made him dumbfounded immediately.

Apparently, Alderp's meager brain capacity didn't think of this. He thought he had found the key to profit, but it turned out to be untrue.

But he didn't give up, but said arrogantly: "I don't care! Anyway, those things are lost, and the adventurers present are all responsible! If no one is responsible, then everyone must compensate!"

Although it was a bit rude, he was telling the truth, and Senna didn't know what to do.

"What a joke!"

At this time, a loud shout suddenly came from the crowd: "Why do you want us to pay money! It has nothing to do with us!"

"That's right!"

"We didn't know anything at all!"

The adventurers protested loudly.

How could they accept a debt for no reason?

However, Kobayashi noticed that Aqua and Sato Kazuma shouted the loudest in the crowd.

However, Alderp yelled: "That has nothing to do with me! All of you either pay the money back or be sent to jail!"

This sentence made everyone silent.

Kobayashi asked, "Lord, do you mean that Miss Senna also has to pay compensation? After all, she was also at the scene, wasn't she?"

"That's not necessary."

Alderp's eyes became more evil, and he licked his thick lips with his tongue, showing a sinister smile and said, "... Although I really want to say this, Miss Senna, as the Kingdom Inspector, will definitely not agree. But I don't want Miss Senna's money either. But I do have another way... hehehe... hehehehe..."

That smile made people physically uncomfortable, even the idiot Aqua knew what he was thinking.

Senna glared at him with disgust and leaned towards Kobayashi again.

Not only Senna, Alderp also used evil eyes to sweep every girl present, causing some of them to subconsciously hug their shoulders, some to cover their mouths, and some to sob on the spot out of fear.

How unpopular is this guy.

Just when Alderp thought he would succeed, Kobayashi suddenly jumped out and raised his hand to signal: "Excuse me, I have a question."

Senna, who didn't know what to do, breathed a sigh of relief and quickly signaled:

"What is it, Mr. Kobayashi?"

"Why did the Demon King's Army cadres only destroy the lord's mansion?"

"...What?"

"Look. The first time we met the Demon King's Army cadre Vanir was in the suburbs of the Kiel Underground City, right? At that time, he ran away in a hurry after seeing us, and when we thought he was going to destroy the town, he went straight to the lord's mansion... Why is that?"

"Who knows? Besides, does this have anything to do with compensating for my losses?"

Alderp looked irritable and impatient.

Kobayashi stretched out a finger and waved, saying, "Don't be so anxious, I just want everyone to understand the reason for the compensation, right?"

"... Humph."

Alderp snorted coldly.

Kobayashi continued, "If the Demon King's Army wanted to destroy the town, they could just come from the suburbs and destroy it directly. Why did they go to the central lord's mansion in the town? I think they were looking for something."

"Looking for something?"

"That's right. At first, the Demon King's Army cadres were planning something in the dungeon, but they fled in a hurry after being discovered by the adventurers, and then came to the lord's mansion. Because time was urgent, the Demon King's Army cadres had to destroy the lord's mansion, but they couldn't find anything, so they had to choose to teleport everything back to the Demon King's Army headquarters... or something. Although all this is my guess, this is the most likely course of events, isn't it?"

Kobayashi's guidance made Senna fall into deep thought, and also made Alderp's body stiffen.

Without giving the evil lord a chance to react, Kobayashi quickly approached him and asked, "So, Lord, what exactly are the Demon King's Army cadres looking for in your lord's mansion?"

"Who, who knows! How can I know about such things?"

Alderp quickly denied it.

Of course, he would never admit such a thing, but it was a pity that it didn't matter whether it had anything to do with him.

Kobayashi's mouth curled up, and that evil smile was exactly the same as Alderp's just now.

But it disappeared again in the next second.

He turned his head and said to the kingdom prosecutor: "Miss Senna, I think it is necessary to interrogate the lord for this matter. After all, this is related to the Demon King's Army, and the kingdom has zero tolerance for this."

You must know that this kingdom is now being harassed by the Demon King's Army, and it is the kingdom that hates the Demon King's Army the most.

If there are noble lords in the kingdom who collude with the enemy, then his fate can be imagined.

Senna, who found a breakthrough point, pushed her glasses, looked at Alderp who was at a loss coldly, and said; "Lord, I think it is necessary to take you back for interrogation, what do you think?"

Then without giving him a chance to speak, she signaled the knights on both sides with her eyes to take him down.

"Wait, wait!" Alderp yelled, "I am a noble, you have no right to arrest me! I am a noble!"

"Lord, don't you know that this right does not apply to those suspected of colluding with the Demon King's army? No matter who he is, as long as he is suspected, he will be treated equally!"

Senna's glasses reflected white light, looking cold and ruthless. I just don't know if the upright her is now mixed with private feelings.

If Senna can disgust her and do bad things with duty, then Kobayashi should blame himself. Because this kingdom needs people like Senna who are rigid and upright.

"Let go! Let go! Don't delay! Don't delay!"

As Alderp wailed like a pig being slaughtered, the lord who came with a high attitude was now taken to the interrogation room like a stray dog ​​under the arrest of the knight.

I hope he will never come back, ah... Aqua!

The farce ended, and the adventurers who were watching breathed a sigh of relief, and the ups and downs of their shoulders were obvious.

Senna also took the opportunity to say: "I didn't expect to find such a useful clue. I thank you again. Then Mr. Kobayashi, I have something to do and I'll leave first."

"Oh, please take care."

Kobayashi waved and said goodbye to her.

That was the end.

It didn't matter whether Alderp was still colluding with the Demon King's army, because once suspicion arose, the crime was established.

He firmly believed that under Senna's interrogation, the lord would definitely bear the biggest crime!

Kobayashi had this confidence in Senna!

After everything was over, Kobayashi slowly raised his right fist, like a hero who had won a battle, exactly the same posture as after the battle with the Demon King's army cadres that night.

This was already his exclusive settlement screen.

And the other adventurers looked at each other, and then--

"Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh!!!"

There was a cheer that was even more enthusiastic than before.
