I like traveling the most

——That night.

Everyone who decided to stay one more night at Megumin's house listened to Mimi praising Darkness for her wonderful performance today after dinner.

"This big sister is very powerful! She is still alive and kicking even after being hit by arrows and magic. I have never seen such a powerful person!"

"No, no, how should I put it... As a Cross Knight, this little thing is a matter of course..."

Darkness, who was not usually used to hearing others praise her, blushed when she heard Mimi's sincere praise.

Looks quite ashamed.

In the eyes of outsiders, she is a very admirable cross knight who resolutely protects the weak. However, the mood of everyone who knows his true nature is quite subtle.

But it still didn't expose her.

It took a lot of effort to gain the admiration of the little girl, but if it was destroyed, it would be a very bad memory for both Darkness and Mimi.

"I heard, Miss Darkness, it seems that you prevented the invasion of the Demon King's army cadres, and Miss Liuzi also protected Mimi, thank you very much. This team is really reliable, so I can rest assured that I’ll leave my daughter to Mr. Xiaolin.”

Ms. Weiwei said as she approached Xiao Lin.

Please calm down, madam. The ones who performed well were Darkness and Liu Zi, who have nothing to do with me.

After stopping his anxious mother from pressing closer to him, Xiaolin noticed something strange.

"By the way, where is Mr. Pyozaburo?"

"Because of his exchange with Mr. Xiaolin, he was so inspired that he refused to come back no matter how hard he tried to persuade him, so he slept there tonight. Really, there were clearly customers here, but he didn't care... I’m really sorry for making Mr. Xiaolin laugh.”

"No, no, no."

She obviously said that, but her expression was completely different. Is it a real inspiration, or are you secretly taking action again, madam?

"Speaking of which!"

Megumin was a little excited and said: "Kazuma is so handsome when he talks. I feel ashamed for being afraid of you and kneeling down to beg for mercy. (Hey, how miserable am I in your eyes?) I really want to be with Kazuma next time. It’s a showdown with Via!”

"Yes." Darkness agreed: "Actually, I have asked the outstanding masters in this village to make new armor. It seems that it will be completed in a few days. (It must be too late by then.) Hahaha, I'm looking forward to it so much New armor and a duel with Sylvia!"

Both of them are martial artists in a sense.

How can you escape when you encounter a strong enemy?

However, Sato Kazuma categorically denied: "What nonsense are you talking about? We are going back tomorrow. Anyway, we have already gone sightseeing, there is no need to stay here anymore. We will go back early tomorrow morning and stay at home." Come and go."

"Hey hey hey!" X2

The two of them immediately screamed.

Obviously I didn't expect it to turn out like this.

Aqua said with a look of disdain: "You were so stubborn when you were choking, but now you want to leave after winning? I told you we would meet again later, right?"

"That cadre is so beautiful, I'm a little reluctant to let him go, but at times like this it's better to be safe and run away when you need to."

This man, first acted cool like that, making the other party look forward to it, and then he did this again.

Either way it’s too much!

Seeing that everyone's eyes were getting worse and worse, Sato Kazuma remained unmoved.

"Just because I originally planned to go back tomorrow, I tried to be cool and wanted to say that we would never meet again anyway. Otherwise, how could I dare to say such things to the dangerous cadres of the Demon King's Army?"

"You despicable bastard!"

"It's too vulgar! It's too much!"

His answer was naturally condemned by everyone.

This is also the nature of scumbag Kazuma. If one day he doesn't behave like this, it will make people think that something is wrong with him.

Facing the aggressive companions, Sato Kazuma slapped the table, jumped to his feet and shouted: "Then what do you want! Those are Demon King Army cadres! Which of the Demon King Army cadres we have encountered so far are good? I am the only one Don’t take any chances!”

"You guy...!"

Huihui clenched her fists, feeling very disappointed and unwilling. Then, she asked another person: "Xiao Lin, you didn't stop me just now. Do you think you have the same idea as the scumbag Kazuma?"

"No, I'm going to stay."

"Really?!" X2

Hearing Xiaolin's answer, Megumin and Sato Kazuma exclaimed at the same time, which really represents completely different meanings.

Little Loli looked happy and said, "Then Xiaolin, have you agreed to stay and deal with the Demon King's army cadres?"

Xiao Lin said: "Of course, otherwise I wouldn't have come to the Red Devil Village."

The bounty and achievements of the Demon King's army cadres were things he had coveted for a long time. How could he just leave for sightseeing?

Sato Kazuma persuaded: "Senior Kobayashi, that's a cadre of the Demon King's Army! It would be very bad if we faced such a difficult guy! Just look at the cadres of the Demon King's Army in the past!"

"I would like to ask Sato-kun what there is to be afraid of."

"What?"

"The Headless Horseman, the Mobile Fortress, the Archduke of Hell, the Toxic Slime... these powerful enemies have all been defeated one by one. How can a Demon King Army cadre stop us?"

"This, this..."

Xiaolin's words made him speechless for a moment.

Although I was extremely scared, I couldn't think of a reason to refute it.

The people who were encouraged also started shouting.

"That's right! We have defeated so many enemies, who can withstand my explosive magic?"

"Me too. This time the enemy can't break through my defense at all, it's not worth mentioning!"

"A cadre of the Demon King's Army? Huh, she will never come back!"

Are all of them so brave?

Sato Kazuma looked like a dead fish.

Xiao Lin added: "Last night, I asked Liu Zi to find the Demon King Army cadre. Liu Zi will tell you the specific information."

"What? Really!"

Others quickly joined in.

"Yes. While Master Xiaolin was flirting with me and kissing me, I went alone to the dangerous and dark depths of the forest to look for the Demon King's army."

"...Miss Liuzi, are you angry?"

"How could that be? How could I be angry with the owner who sent the waiter to do dangerous work while dating someone else to visit the attractions?"

"I'm sorry, I was wrong!"

Xiaolin apologized decisively.

To put it bluntly, the venomous waiter forgave him only after he agreed to date Liu Zi for a day after the incident was over.

Afterwards, several members of the team gathered together to discuss and exchange information. Ms. Wei Wei, who was watching all this, left with a gentle smile on her face and was very considerate.

Not long after——

"Everyone, the bath water is ready."

"...Okay, we'll have to wait for Sylvia to see how she moves. We'll just be prepared to counterattack."

Xiaolin made the final decision on tactics.

He hoped that Sylvia would conquer the Red Devil Village, and it would be best to open the forbidden area left by the bald scholar.

Only in this way can benefits be derived from it.

Otherwise, he should be asked to tell the people in the Red Devil Village: I want something in the forbidden area. Can you let me go and see it?

If you really dare to say this, even if you are Yuyou and Megumin's companions, they will definitely be rejected, and it is not impossible to be labeled as a Demon King's Army.

He didn't want to see that situation.

————

In order to save time, Kobayashi, Sato and Shin took a bath together, but when they came out, they happened to see Aqua with a warm look on her face.

"Strange? Why do you look like you just took a bath?"

"I went to the bathhouse outside. I heard there was a big bathhouse nearby called Mixed Bathing Hot Spring, so I went there."

After hearing what she said, Sato Kazuma's body trembled slightly. I must regret it very much. I wanted to take a mixed bath in Alcanredia, but I always missed it by accident.

At this time, a quarrel came from the entrance.

"Wait, Megumin, where are you going? It's already so late, and my mother won't allow you, a young girl, to spend the night outside!"

→

"For a young girl, the most dangerous place is our home, that's why I want to sleep outside! Anyway, you are planning to let me sleep with Xiaolin today!"

"Oh, Mr. Xiaolin will be fine. You have to believe in mom's vision. He will definitely be able to respond to my expectations..."

"I think you are blind!"

This is a quarrel between mother and daughter.

And is there something wrong with the quarrel?

"I don't know what's going on, but I want to go to bed first. When I came back from taking a shower, Darkness was also asleep. By the way, if Xiaolin has no place to sleep at night, you can come to my room, that's it ”

Aqua looked like she wanted to sleep, perhaps because she had been drinking, and yawned as she walked back to the room.

Sato Kazuma looked envious.

Don't use that look, you know that sharing a room with an idiot goddess is a mandatory saint, right?

After looking inside, Darkness had indeed fallen asleep unnaturally.

Don't think it must be Ms. Weiwei's fault.

"Can you interrupt me?" Xiao Lin intervened between mother and daughter and said, "Actually, I'm staying at Youyou's house..."

"no!"

"Can't!"

Before he could finish his sentence, he received two rejections.

Huihui didn't want to fall into a disadvantage and lose to her opponent Yuyou, and Ms. Weiwei didn't want her son-in-law to be decoupled. The two reached an agreement on Xiaolin's stay at Yuyou's house.

"Anything more would be a waste of time."

"Same feeling. I'm leaving..."

"Sleep!"

The sound of casting a spell sounded, and at the same time there was the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground.

After a while, Ms. Wei Wei came over and said to Xiao Lin with a smile: "I'm sorry, Mr. Xiao Lin. The little girl fell asleep in a strange place... Can you help me move her back to the room?"

He actually used magic on his biological daughter. Is it necessary to go to such lengths?

Kobayashi walked on thin ice towards the room, which was Megumin's room.

At the same time, there was the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground behind him. Probably out of fear that Kazuma Sato would cause trouble, Ms. Weiwei put him to sleep too, killing all uncertainty.

This mother is surprisingly resourceful.

————

Put the little Loli on the bed, then cover her with a quilt thoughtfully, and then sit next to her like last night.

After a while, Hui Hui woke up.

"It's so cold..."

She muttered.

Xiao Lin turned his head and realized that the window in the room was not closed, and the cold wind blew in from there.

"Sorry, I'll close the window right now."

"Well, thank you Xiaolin...Xiaolin?!"

Confused, Megumin's eyes widened on the spot, then she folded her arms like a frightened chick and retreated towards the corner of the room.

Are you serious about backing away? He had to admit that he was hurt by Megumin's actions.

"I'd better go to Youyou's house..."

"etc."

The little girl grabbed Xiaolin's wrist.

She lowered her head, her expression was unclear, only the bright moonlight illuminated her dark and shiny short hair, and a lonely atmosphere emanated from her.

"Am I... useless?"

"What's wrong, Huihui, why do you say that?"

"Because you went to find Youyou! Yes! I am a useless great magician. I am obviously a red demon, but I am not as good as Youyou. I only know one explosion magic that is completely useless, and... I don't have big breasts like her!"

What are you talking about!

Why is that involved?

I thought Huihui was jealous and dissatisfied as before, but now it seems that it is not the case at all. The little girl has begun to doubt herself and waver in her insistence on the explosion magic.

This won't do.

Xiaolin turned around and gently hugged her in his arms.

"It's okay. You focus on Explosion Magic, you are so stubborn that no matter who persuades you, it's useless. You insist on your own way. This is the real you, Huihui."

"Really?"

"Ah, I like this kind of Huihui."

Perhaps the comfort is very useful.

Huihui rarely showed the expression of a girl in line with her actual age, and smiled at Xiaolin.

"...At that time, you took me in, a troublesome magician who almost lived on the streets of Axel and could only use Explosion Magic. Thank you. When I was unable to move after using magic, you always carried me back willingly. Thank you. Even though I always caused you trouble, you still let me stay in the team. Thank you. You were afraid that I would get hurt, and you spent a lot of money to buy magic crystals for me to prevent accidents. Thank you. Because my family was poor, you always took care of me secretly so that I could send more money home. Thank you. Because my father's work was not going well, you specially found a way and were willing to invest. Thank you."

Huihui, who usually always contradicted others and had a belligerent personality, was calmer than ever before.

The white cheeks, which contrasted with the black hair, were slightly stained with an attractive blush, and the scarlet eyes unique to the Crimson Demon Clan flashed with a dreamy brilliance.

It's not that the little loli didn't know, but she kept it all in her heart. It was probably because of the atmosphere that she opened her heart completely tonight.

Tears fell all of a sudden.

"Why, why are you crying? I was just saying thank you, why are you crying suddenly?" Seeing Xiaolin frozen in place, Huihui said in a teasing tone.

Xiaolin wiped away his tears.

"Nothing, I just suddenly had the illusion that my daughter has grown up."

"Huh?! Who is your daughter! I understand, you are saying that I can't grow up and can't compare to Youyou, right! I understand, you are looking for trouble, right? That's right!"

"Why do you want to involve Youyou?"

The little loli got angry again for some reason, riding on Xiaolin's body, pinching his cheeks with both hands.

After playing for a long time, the breathless Huihui suddenly stared at him and said:

"So... let's sleep together tonight, okay?"

"Okay."

Kobayashi agreed decisively.

Who can refuse the invitation of a girl? By the way, I just wanted to stay outside, but now it has become like this, is it really okay?

"But there is only one pillow, Xiaolin, your arm should be used as a pillow."

"Oh, oh."

The little loli pulled Xiaolin's arm as a pillow quite forcefully, pulled the quilt up to cover her head, and buried her face in his chest.

Eh, eh... I don't know when I was led by the nose.

So scary, so scheming.

Then, Huihui's muffled voice came from the quilt: "I, want to be like Darkness."

"What?"

"Do you think you can hide it from me? It's been exposed a long time ago."

"Uh..."

It was only then that I remembered that Huihui was a middle school student, but it didn't mean she was stupid. As a great magician, her intelligence was online.

In addition, after spending so much time with Darkness, the noble lady who is not good at lying must have exposed their relationship long ago.

Hey, hey, hey, isn't it even more scary to think like this?

He immediately broke out in a sweat.

Her heart kept beating, and the little loli chuckled.

Was she deliberately making fun of herself? Was she so confident because she was not interested in the little loli, or was she refuting her mother because of this?

"I'm not interested in the little loli..."

As soon as she was about to say it, she swallowed the following words.

Not good, she almost stepped on a landmine. Ms. Weiwei and Huihui care about breasts the most, and if she said it out loud, it would definitely cause trouble.

"This kind of thing can only be done when you are an adult, otherwise you will be arrested by the prosecutor."

"But I'm 14 years old, an adult."

"No, it has to follow the laws of my kingdom. If Huihui doesn't change her mind later..."

"I know."

Huihui put her ear to Xiaolin's chest and listened to the regular beating sound. Feeling at ease, the little Loli closed her eyes contentedly and fell into a deep sleep.
