I like traveling the most

"A duel? To be honest, it's better not to duel. I'm afraid you will get hurt."

This is true.

But this made the female knight think that Xiao Lin was just showing off, using this excuse to avoid the duel, and even said——

"Your Excellency Xiaolin, wouldn't you say that because the body you just cured can't control its own power, it will destroy the surroundings if you don't pay attention? If that's the case, don't worry, I'm not that kind of weak woman. On the contrary, if Your Excellency Xiaolin said It would be even more believable if he was recovering from a serious injury and could not use his full strength.”

The female knight's disdainful gaze was annoying.

She had already said it, so what could she say?

"Wait a minute, you guy!"

Sato Kazuma shouted at the female knight in displeasure: "Kobayashi-senpai is not that kind of person. He is a hero who has saved the town many times. Give me some respect!"

"That's right! Xiaolin won't use that kind of excuse! He's not like the good-for-nothing Kazuma, who is the first to turn around and run away when in danger."

"Who do you think Xiaolin is! He won't steal other people's underwear like the idiot Kazuma. He is still very reliable at critical times!"

"Xiaolin is a companion that I recognize. He is definitely not someone like Trash Kazuma who lets his companions act as shields in front of him."

Except for Yunyun, Aqua and the others were all fighting for Xiaolin, but it seemed that someone else was injured.

"Hey, you guys..."

Sato Kazuma stamped his feet angrily.

After hearing the sincere comments from his companions about the ghost beast Kazuma, not only the female knight, but also Her Royal Highness the Princess and the female mage looked at him as if they were looking at a piece of incombustible garbage.

Maybe the impression was shattered. The hero who saved the town several times and defeated many cadres of the Demon King's army was so virtuous in private that he was belittled by his companions.

"Don't, don't... don't look at me like I'm trash!"

Kazuma Sato ran out of the hall crying.

He no longer has the face to stay here.

Everyone was unmoved and just watched him run out of the hall. After waiting for a while, Sato Kazuma's head came through the door again, and at the same time he loudly condemned Aqua and others.

"Why don't you guys come out to comfort me?"

Look, this is Kazuma.

There is never a lower limit.

"Who wants to comfort you?"

"Come in quickly. Your Highness the Princess dared to sneak out."

"Really, you are a man, you are a man!"

Under the scolding of the team members, the ghost Kazuma returned to the hall in embarrassment and sat in the seat farthest from Her Royal Highness, as if he was afraid that he would be held accountable.

Despicable man.

The female knight rolled her eyes angrily, but she was in no mood to criticize or care about the other party's rudeness. Her target was still on Xiao Lin - the man who had snatched away her beloved princess and asked Her Majesty the Princess to tell her that he would be responsible.

"Are we still going to have a duel?"

"If Mr. Xiaolin wants to say that it can't be used here, we can also go to the courtyard."

I don’t know if the female knight following Her Royal Highness has seen too many liars. She actually blocked all the escape routes that liars might say.

"Senior Xiaolin!"

"Xiao Lin."

"Xiao Lin, give her a good look!"

Sato Kazuma and others slightly clenched their fists to cheer Kobayashi. Although they didn't say it on the surface, they must be in a bad mood. After all, they would be happy if they were so despised.

Xiao Lin slowly stood up from his seat.

Just her flawless stance made the female knight understand that the man in front of her was no small matter! She put away her contempt as if facing a powerful enemy, and raised her knight's sword with all her energy... Impossible. During the previous duel with Sato Kazuma, that bastard man also behaved like this, but in the end he only stole people's underwear. How could the female knight become serious in such a situation?

However--

"You know, the Headless Horseman is very powerful. If he hadn't played some tricks, Axel's novice village might have been wiped out. The Mobile Fortress Destroyer was also very exaggerated. If it weren't for cheating props like mechas at that time, Maybe Axel has been destroyed. Not to mention the Archduke of Hell, Barnir. The poisonous slime also polluted all the hot springs in Alcanredia, and the team members even died once because of it. Sylvia completely razed the Red Devil Village and gathered the strength of the whole village to defeat it. "

Terrifying magic power continued to surge, and blue flames enveloped Xiao Lin's body. His black hair gradually turned blue, and blue ribbons floated behind him.

The air around them became heavy, and everyone felt a heavy weight on their shoulders. Sato Kazuma even fell to the ground on the spot.

The mansion creaked and groaned, the air around Xiaolin began to twist and change, and a silent pressure enveloped everyone.

In this space, only two people were safe and sound. One is Aqua and the other is Princess Alice.

"Ah?"

Aqua looked at her companion who looked uncomfortable, with clear stupidity in her eyes, but she was not curious about her companion's condition, but she seemed to have noticed something strange.

Megumin, who came to her side to relieve her stress, asked, "What's wrong, Aqua?"

"For some reason, my divine power disappeared a little. ...Forget it, it's not much anyway." The stupid goddess didn't think.

And the duel continues.

The blue figure walked step by step until he came to her. Xiaolin looked down at the female knight, not because of his height, but because of his class. There was no murderous intention, malice, or arrogance, just looking down at her from the position of an absolute strong man.

It is the overlooking of human beings by gods.

The azure eyes made the female knight stiffen and sweat droplets all over her body. The tip of the raised knight's sword kept trembling, unable to think of any resistance at all.

The moment she faced Xiaolin, the female knight knew that she would lose.

What a joke!

Even the third ranked adventurer in the kingdom, Mitsurugi Kyouya, was able to deal with her, but in front of this man who was like a god, she couldn't even raise the slightest bit of resistance.

Xiao Lin looked at the female knight with cold eyes.

Then, he slowly stretched out his right hand.

The female knight closed her eyes in fear, and Darkness shouted urgently from behind.

"Xiao Lin——"

That idiot noble daughter was afraid that her companion would do something irreparable wrong.

Xiaolin just bent his middle finger and flicked the female knight's forehead lightly.

"Okay, I won the duel."

"...Eh?"

Others were stunned.

The female knight's legs weakened and she simply knelt on the ground, sweating and gasping for air.

It feels bad to face death. For details, please refer to the state of mind of Climb and Brian at that time.

"S-Scared me to death, Senior Kobayashi!" Sato Kazuma rushed over quickly and said after relaxing, "I thought you would really take action."

"How is that possible? If I take action, it will only be Darkness who is in trouble, right?"

Xiaolin rolled his eyes.

Aqua raised the bottle of bubble wine and shouted loudly: "That's right, do you think Xiaolin is like a good-for-nothing Kazuma? Xiaolin is very measured."

"Haha? What are you talking about, you idiot Aqua! Hey, put down the wine quickly, why are you so drunk again! Ah, that is a high-end bubble wine that I have never drunk before! Give it to me Save some, you gluttonous goddess!" Sato Kazuma scolded Aqua.

The two kept arguing about bubble wine, and Megumin soon joined in, implicating Yunyun who wanted to stop them. In the end, Darkness had to intervene in order not to make a fool of herself in front of the princess.

The princess is obviously still there, but they are so out of touch. But it is precisely in this way that Xiao Lin gets along with them. Can't help but smile. Then he leaned down and stretched out his hand to the dumbfounded female knight.

"Let me win this duel. Or I can accept a draw."

"...No, I lost."

The female knight did not speak harshly, but openly admitted her defeat.

At this time, she also discovered that this team was not the four-to-one support she thought, but the true god to support four.

(Wait, did she forget someone? Are Yuyou and Liuzi so impersonal? Or are the other four problem children too individual? - Xiaolin, who has the ability to read minds, understands what she is thinking)

At the same time, the female knight finally understood that Xiaolin did have the strength to defeat the cadres of the Demon King's army, and he might win in a single fight to a large extent.

I have to say, her feeling was accurate.

The female knight knelt on one knee and said to Her Royal Highness the Princess on the main seat: "I'm extremely sorry, Your Highness Alice, I actually lost."

"It's okay, Kureya. You've done a great job."

Her Highness Alice shook her head. She was not angry because her subordinate lost. On the contrary, her eyes were shining when she looked at Xiao Lin.

Oops, this look of adoration is really uncontrollable.

It must be said that Her Royal Highness the Princess is an orthodox beautiful girl, and anyone would be delighted to be worshiped by such a beautiful girl.

Darkness also said with an apologetic tone: "Your Highness Alice, my companion is rude. However, this man always fights regardless of his own safety. There is no doubt about his strength. He has established so many brilliant achievements, Of course he will be angry if he is questioned. I hope Her Majesty will not criticize him too harshly."

"How could that be? We have also been rude. I hope Mr. Xiaolin can forgive us."

As expected of a princess who has received an elite education from the royal family, even the apology was so irresistible. Of course Xiaolin chose to forgive... It was by no means that the princess said she would be responsible for herself. From now on, the female knight will also be her subordinate.

"Mr. Xiaolin, could you please tell me your adventure story?"

"No problem."

The banquet episode ends here.

Xiao Lin told Her Royal Highness the story of his adventures in another world, and the team members also listened together. When it came to fighting the King of the Undead, Ainz Ooal Gown, some people raised questions.

"Wait a moment! Xiaolin, the undead you are talking about can definitely be eliminated with one shot using explosion magic!"

"No, it's a pity that explosion magic has no effect. Even though it is the most powerful magic in humans, it can't even break through his defense. I think any magic has no effect on that Lich King."

Ainz is such a powerful enemy.

After retrieving his memory, Xiao Lin realized how amazing he was at being able to find a way to counterattack. Although it was an exaggeration, it was true.

The female mage exclaimed: "How could it be possible that even explosion magic has no effect? ​​That is the most powerful magic in mankind!"

"Is it necessary to be so surprised?"

"My Darkness can resist the explosion magic."

"It's better to say that I have resisted all the Demon King's army cadres I have encountered."

The team members discussed it in a flurry, but the news they accidentally revealed surprised Her Highness the Princess and the other two. It is understandable that the Demon King's army cadres can resist explosion magic, but it is too surprising that Darkness can also resist explosion magic.

Darkness was shy when she was seen by the gaze, scratching her cheek with her fingers and said awkwardly: "That... It's not something to show off, don't look at me like that."

"Really, there is no advantage except for the strong body." Sato Kazuma couldn't help but complain.

"What did you say!"

Darkness was immediately angry. She pinched Sato Kazuma's neck and let this devilish man know that in addition to defense, the grip strength is also top-notch.

"I was wrong, I was wrong! Let go!"

Sato Kazuma had difficulty breathing and soon rolled his eyes and begged for mercy. Darkness saw that Her Highness the Princess was present, so she couldn't continue to rage, so she let go.

The princess couldn't help but ask, "Then what? How did Mr. Kobayashi defeat him?"

"No, I died and fled back in disgrace."

"... Eh?"

"Princess, not all adventure stories end with a good ending. There are always bad endings. It just so happens that this adventure story has a bad ending. How about it, are your fantasies shattered?"

Perhaps the elite education of the royal family has always been successful. Princess Alice couldn't accept hearing that Kobayashi failed.

The female knight even whispered, "Failed? How could it be! Is that skeleton wizard at the level of the demon king?"

"That's right. If we only talk about the demon king's army, the demon king may win, but if it is a duel, the person who wins the duel is that person."

"Stronger than the demon king... Is this true?"

Sato Kazuma swallowed his saliva.

He was already scared. How exaggerated would it be to be able to defeat the invincible senior Kobayashi?

As Kobayashi said, not all stories are perfect. There will also be imperfect stories, and the latter will occupy the majority.

Aqua drunkenly yelled: "Don't worry, Kobayashi! It's just a lich, I will definitely purify him in one go!"

"Yes, if it's Aqua, maybe she can really do it." Kobayashi never doubted the strength of Aqua's attack on the undead. Ainz ran into the goddess and had to flee.

The banquet ended quickly.

Her Highness didn't seem to be very interested. After all, Kobayashi described the previous story vividly, but later it was not only mediocre, but also a complete failure, which naturally made her feel bored.

But one day, when she realized that failure was the way to go through life, she would really grow up.

Leave the mansion.

"-Okay, then we will return to the city. Sir Dustinis, Mr. Kobayashi, and everyone, I'm sorry to bother you."

"No, we didn't treat you well."

Darkness sighed slightly.

There were many troubles during this meeting, but at least it was over.

She said with a happy tone: "Princess Alice, let's have a good chat next time I visit the city. By then, I will prepare all kinds of adventurer stories."

"Yes."

Hearing what Darkness said, Princess Alice smiled shyly.

"Then everyone, let's say goodbye."

After the female mage chanted the teleportation magic, Darkness and others waved goodbye to her, of course, Xiaolin did the same.

"Stories are not always perfect, imperfections are the eternal theme of stories. When your princess understands one day, I will tell you a perfect story at that time - by the way, how about the story of me establishing a religious country? Or the story of me creating legends in the city established by the gods?"

The princess raised her head suddenly, her eyes sparkling.

[Teleport]

After the magic circle lit up, the princess suddenly reached out to Xiaolin and pulled him into the magic circle.

What...?

I didn't mean to seduce her!

Xiaolin's eyes widened, and then he was teleported away. Aqua and Huihui looked at the empty field and shouted.

"That princess is here to steal men!"
