I like crossing the most

Chapter 843 The Last Daily Life 23
"Huh... Is that the solution? Although many One-Strike Bears have come out to do evil, there's no need to worry too much as long as there are guards. These guys have been spreading everywhere recently. We should find time to go to the forest and clean them up."

Yu Jian Xiangye wiped the sweat from his forehead and breathed a sigh of relief at the large number of One-Strike Bears in front of him. After all, he was alone just now, and even with the help of the magic sword, it still took a lot of his energy.

Rather, it was thanks to the help of the magic sword that he was able to save the two adventurers in front of him and get rid of these One-Strike Bears.

The rescued adventurer looked at the corpses of the One-Strike Bears scattered all over the ground with gratitude and surprise, and exclaimed: "How amazing! So many One-Strike Bears were killed in a short time. It's amazing..."

"As expected of you, Mr. Brave Sword! You are the third-ranked adventurer in the kingdom. You are truly amazing!"

Another adventurer also said this loudly.

However, despite being praised by the two men, Yu Jian Xiangye did not get complacent. He waved his hand to indicate that it was not a small matter worthy of praise. At the same time, he smiled and said, "Call me next time you need help. I will definitely come over!"

"Thank you, Mr. Yu Jian!" X2

The two adventurers burst into tears of gratitude.

It has to be said that Mitsurugi Hibiki is one of the most popular adventurers in this town.

He is handsome and kindhearted. Although his personality is a little off, he is still a normal person. If it were Xiaolin and the others...

Wait, Xiaolin! ?

I almost forgot that we still have to decide the winner!

After bidding farewell to the two, Mitsurugi Hibiki walked quickly towards Axel's town, shouting as he walked: "Sorry to have kept you waiting, Xiaolin! Come on, let's continue the duel just now--"

However, the town gate was deserted, and a breeze swept the fallen leaves, making it look so desolate and lonely.

"He's gone... I clearly asked him to wait for me!"

Mitsurugi Hibiki shouted angrily.

However, he nodded quickly and said to himself: "I see... It seems that he ran away because he was afraid of my power. There is really no other way, so I will let the goddess stay with you for the time being. However, one day I will definitely rescue the goddess!"

But the ending where he was played around by Krillin because of Aqua was already predictable.

such as:

"Finally found you, Xiaolin!"

"Hmm? Who are you?"

"It's me! Miken Hibiki!"

"So there is such a person..."

Xiao Lin sighed slightly, as if he regarded Yu Jian Xiangye who came to cause trouble as a troublesome person. He spread his hands impatiently and said, "So, what do you have to do today... Yu Jian?"

"It's Yu Jian!" Yu Jian stamped his feet angrily. He shouted, "You got the name wrong right after I gave it to you. You're still so rude! I really can't stand you!"

"Then you can go."

"What did you say--"

"nothing."

Kobayashi was a little impatient with him, but Mitsurugi Hibiki was Aqua's external wallet. If he didn't ask for anything she wanted to buy, the stupid goddess would go to him. To be honest, it was a big help. If they let Aqua spend money, their savings would soon run out.

Yu Jian Xiangye said angrily: "You once sold my magic sword Gramo, which made me feel humiliated... I want to fight you again! Let's fight to the death!"

"Ah... What a hassle." Xiao Lin made a very reluctant sound. After all, Yu Jian Xiangye's strength should not be underestimated. If he fought him like this, it would be very difficult to win. It can be said that he was avoiding fighting, but he would never feel ashamed of this.

Mitsurugi Hibiki seemed to have misunderstood. He said somewhat proudly, "Hmph, don't worry. I won't say that if I win, you will give me the goddess. This is related to my self-esteem. If you win, I promise that I will not ask you to fight me again! On the contrary, if I win... I will ask you to apologize to me for everything that has happened so far, and admit that I am the real hero candidate!"

This guy is unexpectedly obsessed with heroes?
Xiao Lin curled his lips in dissatisfaction and said, "Don't make decisions on your own. Why should I--"

Ok?
Wait, that's not right.

If we can make good use of this situation...

I wanted to reject him directly, but if I rejected him, Yu Jian Xiangye would still pester me tirelessly. And since he wanted a duel, I would just satisfy him and solve my own problem at the same time.

"...If you challenge me to be your opponent, I won't care if you humiliate yourself again, okay?"

"Since you dare to make such a big promise, does this mean that you agree to accept my challenge?"

"Of course...but I have a condition."

Seeing that Yuuki Yuki was eager to try, Kobayashi took the opportunity to put forward his own request. You could say that he was cheating, but if this kind of thing was good for him, he would rather do it countless times.

"Conditions? Tell me."

"I'm tired of using such a simple one-on-one duel to decide who's better. How about changing things up a bit and deciding the winner in a different way today?"

"No problem, I have no objection. No matter how we decide the winner, I will definitely be the winner in the end!"

It's great that this guy is so confident.

Then let me make good use of this guy.

Kobayashi brought Yu Jian Xiangye to the outskirts of the town, and just when Yu Jian Xiangye thought that they were just moving to a different place to decide the outcome, the roar of a monster was heard beside them.

It's a new killer.

The pitch-black, huge monster with scary fangs is undoubtedly a catastrophic enemy for novice adventurers. Recently, for some unknown reason, the rookie killers are all over the town, and Miss Luna, the guild counter clerk, asked him to clean them up.

Since there are free thugs, why not use them?

"Guluulu——"

"Drink!"

The huge rookie killer in front of him was instantly cut in half by the magic sword in Yu Jian Xiangye's hand. To be honest, he still coveted the magic sword. But now Xiao Lin kept praising him.

"Ohhhh, another one!"

"Haha, how's it going, Xiaolin! My sword skills are amazing! And you can't seem to defeat even one, the gap is getting bigger and bigger."

What stupid things you say.

This guy didn't want Xiaolin to take action at all.

As long as the new killer appears, Yu Jian Xiangye will use the magic sword in his hand to release the sword energy and kill the new killer in an instant, without even giving him room to fight back.

It’s not that there is really no way, but his attitude is obviously like he is trying to steal the prey, and he is even provoking me smugly.

"Drink!"

As soon as a new killer emerged from the woods, Yu Jian Xiangye slashed at it with his sword, and the powerful sword energy cut it in two.

"The fifth one."

There was a subtle hint of sarcasm in his plain words.

Mitsurugi Hibiki slowly sheathed his magic sword, pretending to show off. He said with great complacency, "I may not be confident in other aspects, but here... you actually proposed that the one who defeats the most novice adventurer killers wins. It seems that you have chosen the wrong way to fight."

"Roar----"

Another new killer jumped out. I don’t know if it was because of the smell of blood or some other reason, but he attracted a large number of monsters in just over an hour. It was a little abnormal.

"They appear again... There really are a lot of novice adventurer killers living here."

Obviously Yu Jian Xiangye also noticed the abnormality, but...

"But these mere novice adventurer killers are no match for me even if they all attack together!"

For the high-level Yu Jian Xiangye, the newbie killers were not really a problem. He defeated all the newbie killers here in no time.

"Huh...it seems like everything has been resolved."

Mitsurugi Hibiki wiped his forehead.

"Oh, that's amazing, you are really strong..." Xiao Lin praised with great emotion: "For someone like me, no matter how hard I try, I still can't beat you."

"Hmm?" Yu Jian Xiangye raised his eyebrows and said, "So... do you admit that I won?"

"of course."

Xiao Lin said decisively: "I lost... I'm really sorry for what I've done until now. You are the one who deserves to be called a hero candidate!"

"...I feel a little surprised." Yu Jian Xiangye said with some surprise: "I originally thought you were just a despicable and shameless man, but it turns out that you have such a broad mind and can frankly acknowledge the strength of others."

"The previous sentence doesn't need to be said."

Xiao Lin was also a little angry.

“Haha.” Mitsurugi Hibiki smiled, and said with some relief: “But this way, I can erase the stain of the past. From now on, I plan to work harder to train myself in order to defeat the Demon King, and this is also to make Lady Aqua happy.”

Make her happy, eh?

Aqua will be very happy indeed, hehe——

Xiao Lin smiled rather sinisterly.

Yu Jian Xiang Yeqing couldn't help but tremble. After asking, he just told him not to worry about it, which made the man feel a little strange and concerned, but he left without saying anything.

You are so generous that you don't even want the body of a rookie killer. In that case, I will accept it without hesitation.

evening.

In the Adventurer's Guild, all the team members gathered together, and today it was Xiaolin who treated them all.

"Excuse me, can you give me another glass of bubbly drink?"

"Oh, and a smoked lizard burger too!"

"——You guys really eat a lot."

Looking at his companions who kept placing orders, Kobayashi did not get angry and always had an indifferent smile on his face.

"Xiao Lin is the one who actually said that he can let us eat as much as we want today. How generous!" Aqua was also a little excited. She asked curiously, "Did something good happen?"

"If it's good news..."

"Hey, goddess? Long time no see!"

Before he could explain, the host of this dinner appeared and greeted Aqua happily. However, Aqua looked at him carefully for a long time and asked in confusion: "Hey, who is this person... that..."

"You should remember his name, right?" Xiaolin strongly criticized Aqua for not considering him a good person, and then said, "Isn't this guy that...that...Lin Jian?"

"That's totally wrong! It's Mitsurugi! Have you forgotten about me again!?"

Yu Jian Xiangye was so angry that he was about to go crazy.

"Don't be so serious." Xiao Lin waved his hand, motioning him to sit down quickly, and said, "Come and have a drink, too. It's my treat."

Then, he shouted to the guild elder sister who was passing by, "Excuse me, give this guy a glass of bubble wine too!"

Ok?
Mitsurugi Hibiki did not refuse. After all, he also wanted to chat with Aqua, but before that, he was curious about something.

"You've been more extravagant than usual. What happened?"

"I heard that he received a temporary income."

"Xiaolin completed the subjugation mission alone, targeting the novice adventurer killer that bred in the forest."

Megumin and Darkness said this suddenly, and Krillin came back to his senses. It’s over, it seems like he was accidentally exposed.

Mitsurugi Hibiki was a little confused. He muttered quietly, "I defeated a novice adventurer killer all by myself... huh?"

Obviously he also noticed something was wrong.

Aqua said happily, "Originally, it was supposed to be a mission for about 20 people, but he defeated all the monsters by himself and took all the rewards... Xiaolin is really amazing!"

"Hey, Xiaolin!" Yu Jian Xiangye turned his head suddenly and looked at Xiaolin who was whistling and pretending to be unaware. "The previous duel between the novice adventurer killers, could it be..."

"Ahem. If I can monopolize the mission reward, it would be a piece of cake to apologize to you and acknowledge that you are a hero candidate."

The next second, his collar was grabbed.

"Damn it! Xiaolin, how dare you lie to me!"

"I didn't lie to you, did I? I lost the duel, but I apologized to you, didn't I? And Aqua is very happy now, isn't this a win-win situation for everyone? It's a win-win situation."

“Hmm…” Mitsurugi Hibiki looked at Aqua who was eating and drinking happily, and swallowed unwillingly: “You man, you are considered Aqua-sama’s—”

At this time, a big sister from the guild staff came over with a tray of food.

"Sorry to have kept you waiting - double the bubbles and a smoked lizard burger! Your order has been fully served!"

"Great--!"

Aqua cheered, raised her glass of bubbly, and shouted, "Then... Cheers!"

"Cheers!" X2
Megumin and Darkness also raised their glasses.

Xiao Lin picked up a glass of bubble wine and handed it to Yu Jian Xiangye, saying with a smile: "Oh, let's take a breath today and enjoy the delicious bubble wine...Yu Jian."

"I told you... my name is... Mitsurugi—"

Having said that, he still followed his heart and drank the bubble wine.
