Chapter 538: Be my enemy and be prepared to have your underwear stolen
Question: How many steps are needed to defeat Yujian Xiangye?

Answer: Two steps.

The first step is to use the [Steal] skill to steal the magic sword Grame; the second step is to use the [Bind] skill to completely imprison him.

He is easier to deal with than an elephant.

Looking at Mitsurugi Hibiki who was whimpering with his mouth covered by a rope and twisting on the ground like a bug, Satou Kazuma, with the magic sword on his shoulder, sighed deeply.

"You, you lost because your magic sword was accidentally stolen, but after so much time, you still haven't prepared a corresponding countermeasure. Honestly, you should just stop being called the Magic Sword Hero and change it to the Sword-Throwing Hero, or the Shameful Hero."

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

The mocked Mitsurugi Hibiki kept struggling. Even without the omniscience of the Five Visions, one could guess that he was saying that there was no fair fight.

Come on, it's fair enough.

First of all, this was a battle under the command of the female knight Kureya. Secondly, Kobayashi did not use any dirty tricks but used his skills openly. Finally, one is a swordsmanship master and the other is an adventurer. It would be better to say that Kobayashi is the weaker one.

"Okay, that's it."

Kobayashi ignored the girl's desperate twisting and blocked out the overflowing desire to do it again. He clapped his hands and came in front of Princess Alice, whose eyes were shining and her face was full of admiration.

The weak defeating the strong is something that is worthy of praise no matter which world it is in. Not to mention that one is the third in the kingdom and the other is an ordinary adventurer, and the adventurer is not using his own body.

Xiaolin wanted to touch Alice's head, but when he realized that it was not his body, he froze in mid-air. Alice took his hand and placed it on her head.

"So good, so good."

"Hey hey hey."

A brother and a sister are laughing happily.

Instead, the female knight next to her widened her eyes in disbelief. She couldn't understand how Sato Kazuma could win so easily.

"You're kidding me..."

"Sorry. It's true."

"You must be playing some trick!"

"No! You are the referee of this competition after all, please be fair to me."

Indeed, the shocking reversal of this originally useless scumbag is eye-catching, but Sato Kazuma has done too many evil things, and even with this wave of handsome operations, he cannot bring back his own evaluation.

"It's really unbelievable. Are you really the Sato Kazuma I know?"

"W-What are you talking about? I'm Satou Kazuma."

"No, the Satou Kazuma that I know is more of a scumbag and a bit more despicable."

"I've changed my ways, haven't I?"

"How is that possible! Sato Kazuma is a true scumbag. Even if the world is destroyed, he will not change his nature. He is that kind of man!"

"...Hehe, thank you."

Is there such a way to praise someone? If I heard it, I would definitely be moved to tears.

She didn't know whether it was because of the huge contrast or because the female knight Kureya had too much malice towards Satou Kazuma, she didn't believe that the Satou Kazuma in front of her was really her real self. But she had to say that she guessed right.

Alice tugged at her sleeve.

“Kureya, I…”

"Oh? Lady Knight, do you want to duel with me? Of course, I am a real scumbag and I believe in equality between men and women, so even if it is Miss Kureya, I will show my true ability."

As he spoke, Xiaolin's ten fingers shook back and forth.

Although she could not learn the essence of Sato Kazuma, the similar fingering techniques, obscene smile, and the scumbag temperament that came over her made the female knight blush and squeeze her legs together.

"You, you, are you still trying to steal my...my..."

"Hehehe, that's right. If you want to be my enemy, you must be prepared to be robbed. If that doesn't matter to you, I'm ready to accompany you anytime."

"Vile, scumbag, beast!"

"Thanks for the compliment."

Kureya protected Alice tightly behind her, as if Sato Kazuma could make the princess pregnant just by looking at her, and she treated him like a walking beast.

Oh no, it seems I used too much force.

Xiaolin originally intended to save his companion's image, but now he seems to be even more disgusted by others by overdoing it. But the princess' eyes are shining, as if she is surprised by Xiaolin's vivid disguise... Wait, she should know that this is a disguise, not Xiaolin's true nature.

"Your Highness Alice, please return to the palace as soon as possible! You will get pregnant if you stay with this man and breathe the same air as him!"

"Don't slander me wantonly. I don't have such exaggerated abilities!"

"Run quickly, Princess Alice!"

"Give me a moment!"

Kureya took Alice's hand and ran towards the palace. Kobayashi was afraid that she would go back and spread some nonsense and cause unnecessary misunderstandings, so he hurriedly followed her, leaving only Mitsurugi Hibiki who was still tied up.

“Wuwuwuwu————?”

He whimpered desperately, trying to attract the attention of the three people who had already gone far away, but his voice was too soft and no one heard it, so he was abandoned here.

Return to the palace.

Claire was not talking nonsense. She was confused about the fact that Satou Kazuma defeated Mitsurugi Hibiki, so after sending Alice back to the palace, she disappeared.

Xiaolin took Alice's hand and returned to the palace.

On the way, he felt dizzy.

"Ugh."

"What's wrong, brother?"

Alice looked at him with concern, and Xiaolin smiled and touched her head.

"It's okay, just a little dizzy."

It should be that the time limit of the artifact has expired, which lasted for about 2 hours. I have to say that the exchange time is too short. I don’t know if the noble with bad intentions knows about this. If he doesn’t know and exchanges it while doing evil... that scene is too beautiful, Xiaolin dare not think about it.

Just as expected.

The dizziness was a reminder that the exchange effect was about to expire. As soon as Kobayashi returned to the palace, he exchanged with Sato Kazuma.

The method to extend the time is currently unknown. It is better to say that we don’t know if there is any way to extend it or simply fix it. Even Kobayashi’s powerful mental power cannot extend the time. It is worthy of being a magic weapon.

But that’s not all.

The scary thing about this artifact is that if one person dies during the exchange, then they will be exchanged forever. A weak body will become strong, a poor family will become rich, and a man without women will become a man with many wives and concubines.

Body, life, gender, family background, all can be exchanged as long as you want.

It can be considered an alternative form of immortality.

Telling Sato Kazuma about defeating Mitsurugi Hibiki again made this scumbag who always said he wanted to be a runaway winner very happy.

Of course, Kobayashi also told the story of teasing Kureya, and this operation of lowering the impression score did not make Sato Kazuma complain, but instead made him say that it was well done. It seems that he has been suffering from the female knight for a long time and has long wanted to find an opportunity to retaliate. This time, he found her weakness, and the scum Kazuma will definitely not let it go.

In the evening, the banquet began.

Sato Kazuma was hiding in a corner of the venue in a low-key manner. After being beaten to death by the ogres, he had no face to jump out and show off, so he wisely reduced his conspicuousness.

Several members of the other teams were moving around in the venue.

Aqua carefully held a bottle of bubble wine in her hand. That was the reward for the team. That's right, just this bottle of bubble wine. Because everyone else was surrounded and had no time to spare, she decided on her own on behalf of the team to reward them with bubble wine.

When Kobayashi found out about this, the stupid goddess just smiled foolishly, which made Kobayashi angry and amused, but he didn't know how to punish her.

Anyway, there is no reward worth asking for this time, so just let her do as she pleases.

Sato Kazuma was also very angry when he saw that the team's reward was bubble wine, but he didn't do anything in this battle and couldn't say anything. However, he said that this was the result of the team's efforts and that everyone should enjoy this bottle of wine together, but the stupid goddess refused and took the reward for herself, saying that she made this battle without anyone dying, and quickly ran away.

The venue was full of small groups centered around particularly active adventurers. And the nobles who were not in the small groups also started talking about this battle.

"Ah, this battle was won so easily! The most important thing is the brave and active performance of the team led by Lord Dustinis!"

"That's exactly right! Sir Dustinis who blocked the enemy's attack single-handedly, Lord Krillin who charged into the enemy camp and mowed down the enemy without a second thought, Lord Aqua who easily purified a large number of undead monsters and instantly healed any serious injuries, and Lord Megumin and Lord Yunyun who dealt the Demon King's army the final blow when they were about to retreat! With a few of them here, maybe even defeating the Demon King won't be a problem!"

"Indeed, they can fight the Demon King to a draw! Moreover, I heard that they have already killed many cadres of the Demon King's army. They are indeed as good as their reputation says. They are really powerful..."

The praises from the crowd continued.

No wonder people say that the nobles are the ones who know how to flatter the most. In their mouths, Aqua and other problem children have become heroes who save the world.

Sato Kazuma, who was listening to this in the corner, curled his lips. It seems these people just missed one...

"Hey, look over there."

"That's him. That guy is the one that Lady Kureya mentioned, the guy who only knows how to talk."

"I heard that his profession is still the weakest adventurer, and his level is not high either."

"That man is just very good at pleasing others. I heard that he wanted to please Her Highness Alice and planned to move into the castle. And when he was promoting his products -"

Well, they talked about themselves.

But it was not praise or compliment, but just arbitrary and irresponsible remarks, which made Sato Kazuma angry and annoyed.

A well-known e-sports coach once said that if you lose everything, it’s all wrong, and his current situation is no different from if he lost.

"Why are you still here?"

At this moment, someone suddenly spoke to Sato Kazuma, who was now alone.

It's Kureya.

This was clearly a party venue, but she was still wearing a white suit without understanding the style. Seeing Sato Kazuma's dead eyes, Kureya covered her chest.

"W-what do you want to do?"

"I can't do anything. This is a meeting place. What can I do?"

He rolled his eyes angrily.

What on earth does this guy think he is? Besides, even if he wants to cover it, he should cover the lower part, not the chest. By the way, with her luck, can she defend herself?

Sato Kazuma had the idea of ​​giving it a try.

"We will ask Sir Dustinis, the guest of honor tonight, and several other distinguished guests to stay in the city for the night. You can go back now."

"...Are you being a little too rude to me?"

He understood why Kureya was angry.

He boasted that he would make a brilliant performance on the battlefield but was beaten to death by the gnolls. However, he defeated Yui Kenshin in just a few moves. Naturally, this made Kureya, who was already unhappy with him, even more unhappy.

But the one who defeated Mitsurugi Hibiki was not me, but Senior Kobayashi!
Sato Kazuma felt bitter in his mouth. He suddenly realized that defeating Mitsurugi Hibiki again didn't seem so worth being happy about.

However, if Kobayashi were here, he would definitely think that it was his last action that was too extreme, which caused Kureya to target Sato Kazuma like this.

"Not only did you fail to arrest the chivalrous thief, but you also didn't achieve any results this time... I can't stand it. You are really just a talker. I heard that when you defeated the Demon King's army cadres, it was Mr. Kobayashi and that magician who dealt the final blow to the cadres?"

"My job is to support them! Do you know what a supporter is? Also, although I was beaten to death by the kobolds, I defeated Mitsurugi Hibiki, you saw it too!"

"You guy...!"

Kureya clenched her hands.

Sato Kazuma's shortcoming is that whenever he is pushed into a corner, he always says things without thinking and adds fuel to the fire. It would have been fine if he didn't say anything, but once he did, the female knight became even more angry.

"You must be playing dirty tricks!"

"No way! Why are you targeting me like this?"

"That means it wasn't you at all! You definitely can't defeat Lord Miken Hibiki anyway!"

"Hey……"

Kureya's unreasonable behavior is too much like Aqua and the others. Sato Kazuma knows that no matter what he says now, he will not be recognized.

"Speaking of Mr. Kobayashi, you already have plenty of money, right? Could you please quit the team and live a leisurely life in that town?"

What did she say suddenly?

"I totally agree with you living a leisurely and comfortable life, but is it really good? If I'm not around, the burden on Senior Kobayashi's shoulders will be heavier, and there will be no one to discipline those problem children." Sato Kazuma threatened slightly.

Kobayashi was often not at home, and Aqua and the others were always getting into trouble, and if Sato Kazuma wasn't there either, Axel would probably be blown away.

Kureya didn't care: "Don't worry about that. The kingdom will send someone better to replace you in the team. Don't worry, it will definitely be your replacement."

This guy……!
He just failed to catch the chivalrous thief, was beaten to death by the kobolds, defeated Mitsurugi Hibiki, and stole her underwear, and they were targeting her like this.

"I hope you will leave the capital tomorrow. There is no place for you here. If you want to stay here, we will use force to drive you out. However, you can continue to stay and enjoy this party today... Well, if your achievements are enough to allow you to enjoy this party."

Seeing the female knight's smug and arrogant attitude, the string called rationality in Sato Kazuma's head was completely broken.

“Steal——!”

He used his magical skills without hesitation and stole the most important clothes of the female knight.

"I'm going back today. But you can stay and enjoy the party if you insist on staying without any clothes on. Hahahaha——"

He twirled the white triangle of cloth with his index finger, raised his head and laughed heartily, then walked out of the venue in an extremely cool manner, leaving behind the female knight who covered her lower body, feeling embarrassed and annoyed.
