I like traveling the most

Standing in front of the [Labyrinth City], which is known as the center of the world, looking at the chalk tower in the center of the city that pierces the clouds, Xiaolin murmured:

"Show off your skills to your heart's content? ... That's what he said. Liu Zi, do you have any opinion?"

"No, Master Xiaolin."

The perfect waiter did not say much.

Under normal circumstances, the poisonous tongue puppet girl would definitely seize the opportunity to stimulate him, and then he would pretend to be angry and block her mouth to fight back. It should be the same routine every time... This time, Xiaolin didn't say anything, which made him quite uncomfortable.

Could it be...

"Are you angry?"

"No. Whether Xiaolin is getting carried away by the countless girls around him, or a master forgets to agree to a date, as your waiter, I am not angry at all."

Liu Zi's seductive little mouth spewed out unpleasant sarcastic words, but Xiaolin looked enjoying it.

It tastes right, it tastes right, this is it.

"Master Kobayashi is really a masochist."

"No way!"

His expression seemed to make Ryuko misunderstand, or was it just an extension of relieving his inner dissatisfaction?

But no matter what, Kobayashi still said: "I'm sorry, Ryuko, I seem to have ignored your feelings."

Ryuko shook her head: "I'm not angry because I was left out. It's better to say that I have monopolized Master Kobayashi for a long time, but I should consider the feelings of other masters. Because I know that Master Kobayashi will not abandon me no matter what."

"Ryuko..."

The girl is sincere and considerate, and Kobayashi is deeply moved.

Ryuko has occupied an important position in his heart without knowing it.

Unlike Aqua and the others, Ryuko is his greatest reliance when adventuring in other worlds.

"I love you, Ryuko."

"Me too, Master Kobayashi."

The two of them reached out their hands at the same time, and then intertwined very naturally, and then walked towards the town.

Come on, our date begins.

————

Walking on the wide street, the lively shouts of vendors on both sides of the street kept coming into my ears. As the center of the world, people are definitely coming and going.

And at a stall on East Street.

"Here, mochi balls! Thank you for your patronage!... What, did you say Hermes is back?"

The goddess who was working hard, while preparing mochi balls for customers and handing them over with a smile, raised her eyebrows and chatted with the male god wearing a kimono and combing horns inside.

The expression changes very naturally, and it seems that the business is quite skilled.

They are Hestia and Takemikaze.

The two were good friends in heaven, and their families in the underworld were equally weak. They kept in touch without disputes and often chatted like this.

And the theme this time is Hermes. ♦♦  ♪♦

"He came back really early this time." Hestia was also a little confused and said, "Didn't he attend the last meeting of the gods? ... Come, please take your mochi balls, thank you for your patronage!"

"I don't quite understand this either. It's unlikely that the guy would come back immediately after finishing his work for no reason."

Takemure, pinching his chin, fell into deep thought.

Based on his understanding of Hermes and his character, this time he came back, he would definitely make some big news.

It might even affect them.

"Are you too worried? Come, please take your mochi balls, thank you for your patronage!"

"If that's the case... By the way, your store's business is really good."

"Hehehe, of course! Because I'm here!"

Hestia raised her huge chest that didn't match her petite body at all.

Takemure's mouth moved.

I don't understand what there is to be proud of.

...Forget it, as long as Hestia is happy.

Some goddesses eat, drink and have fun all day, while others work hard all day. They all have a bright future.

Let's get back to the point.

Jian Yulei said worriedly, "Although he said he was interested in Bell Crane, I always feel that he should have other intentions. I'm worried."

"Will he? He is Hermes, I don't think he will take the initiative to cause any trouble."

Hestia sent away the last customer in line, and after getting a brief breathing space, she wiped the sweat from her forehead with a happy expression.

Seeing her friend's impending crisis but not caring about it, Jian Yulei said angrily, "Are you listening, Hestia?! Although that's true, only this time I always feel something is wrong."

"What's the basis?"

"God's intuition!"

"——!!!"

Hestia was struck by lightning.

Nothing is more convincing than God's intuition.

Just like God can judge whether the people in the lower world are lying, God's intuition is also quite powerful. The stronger the premonition, the more likely it is to happen.

But why didn't she have a premonition?

Hestia scratched her head with a confused look on her face, with a kind of beauty that had lost her IQ.

"Anyway, now is a critical period, Hestia, you should also pay a little attention."

"Well, let's all be more careful."

The two gods nodded to each other.

At this time, a voice woke them up.

"Excuse me, please give me a mochi ball."

"Okay, I'll be right there!"

"Then I'll leave, Hestia."

"Okay."

After saying goodbye to Jian Yulei quickly, Hestia smiled again, but this time she was no longer as heartless as before, but a hint of uneasiness rose.

————

On the other side.

On the equally busy North Street, a man and a god walked in the crowd.

Both of them were dressed in nomadic clothes. The handsome man wore a cowboy hat with feathers on his head, and the mature woman covered her whole body with a wide white cloak.

It was Hermes who was just discussed, and his clan leader Yasfei.

"So Yasfei, how is he doing recently?"

"According to the official information of the guild, he is already LV2, and even has some powerful attack magic. It is rumored that he used magic to defeat the Minotaur when he was promoted."

"Oh?"

Hermes raised his eyebrows.

I didn't expect that such an interesting thing would happen during his absence. If I had known, I wouldn't have sneaked away.

Yasfei reported calmly again: "But this matter is quite controversial. Because some people talked behind his back, saying that defeating the Minotaur was just taking advantage of Loki's family and stealing the dying monsters to upgrade. So some people also call him a fake rookie."

"Hahahaha, fake rookie, a good name!"

Hermes laughed again.

But there was mockery and contempt in his laughter.

I didn't expect the adventurers to be so harsh. They must have known the time of his upgrade and were suspicious and jealous, so they were dissatisfied.

It's really ridiculous.

It's just that he was hit with magic, just the last blow to the dying monster...The [Blessings] of the Gods are not so simple that they can be sublimated with such cheap experience points.

A group of blind guys.

Seeing the faint sneer on Hermes's lips, Yasfei asked in confusion: "Do you want to do something to the little rookie?"

"What's wrong? Are you jealous because I've ignored you recently?"

"Who is jealous? Don't get me wrong, I just don't want to get into any trouble!"

Hermes is not a god who likes to make trouble, but it's another matter that Yasfei is always the one to clean up the mess every time he gets into trouble.

"But..."

"But?"

"If possible, I hope that Lord Hermes can consider that person... After all, you left for a month just to find out his origins, right?"

Yasfei stared into his eyes.

Hermes played dumb and said, "Huh? Who are you talking about? Why don't I understand?"

"Eh?"

"Look, if you don't tell me his name, how can I know who you are talking about. Although I have a close relationship with you, Yasfei, we are not yet at the point of mutual understanding."

"You bastard god...!"

Yasfei's forehead was bulging with veins, and she gritted her teeth and clenched her fists. She was about to hit him in the face in the next second.

But Hermes laughed and said, "Don't worry. I know that you and Xiaolin have had adventures together in the dungeon. I know how talented Xiaolin is, and I like him very much, so I will explore him, right?"

As if to comfort his own leader who likes to worry about things, Hermes patted her head.

But what Yasfei didn't see was that Hermes' expression was not very good.

Because he didn't find anything.

Xiaolin was like a person who suddenly appeared in this world. Except for a brief appearance in the desert, there was no trace of the past, just like a visitor from another world.

Hermes did not lie to Yasfei. He was looking forward to the birth of a hero and was indeed optimistic about Xiaolin.

But Xiaolin, whose origins were unknown, was inevitably worrying.

Yasfei shyly slapped his hand away, coughed lightly and said, "Speaking of which, have you mentioned it to the god Uranus?"

"No, not yet." Hermes shook his head helplessly: "Although I followed your advice, Yasfei, to win over Xiaolin, I don't think Uranus will let her go easily. Before that, there is someone who must greet her first."

The two stopped at the door of a tavern.

——The Rich Hostess

Yasfei glanced at Hermes silently.

In the past, her own god avoided this tavern, but she didn't expect that this time he would take the initiative to come here.

Hermes stepped forward and opened the door of the tavern.

"Welcome, meow!" The cat maid in the store greeted warmly, and when she saw who was coming, she was surprised and said, "Is it Hermes?"

"Ah, long time no see, little Chloe."

Hermes greeted her with a smile and explained his purpose.

"Excuse me, can you please ask Mia to come out?"

"Okay, meow, wait a moment, meow!"

The cat-eared girl Chloe saluted him and ran quickly to the counter.

Soon--

Mia appeared in front of him, and she asked with a stern face: "What's the matter that requires you, a god, to come here in broad daylight?"

Hermes winked at her: "Don't look so unhappy~ It's a waste of your cute little face."

"If you talk nonsense again, I'll pull your head off!"

The rough [Little Giant] had a ferocious face, which frightened the adventurers around him and made them feel cold all over, and at the same time full of admiration.

Being able to say such things to Mia's mother without changing his expression, Hermes must be a god-level existence in their hearts... Wait, he seems to be a god?

No wonder they don't care about food or clothing.

When Mia saw the smiling god, she sighed and said, "I'm very busy here. If you need anything, please tell me quickly."

"Then let me tell you...can you help me arrange an appointment with Freya?"

Hermes leaned closer and lowered his voice.

[Little Giant] Few people know that Mia is the former leader of the Freya Familia, but one of them is Hermes, who has a lot of information about the labyrinth city and its surroundings.

Mia frowned slightly, but Hermes still smiled indifferently.

A long while.

"Haah..."

Mia sighed and said: "I don't want to be manipulated at will by you stupid gods. If you have something to say to the goddess, I can go find her myself."

After saying that, he waved his hands, turned around and left.

Hermes smiled awkwardly, and Asphi also curled her lips.

It seems like failure is natural.

At this moment, a lovely gray-haired maid happened to pass by and subconsciously said hello: "Lord Hermes?"

"Oh, Hill! Long time no see, are you okay?!"

Hermes' eyes suddenly shone.

With a smile on his face, Hill walked up and said, "Long time no see. It's great that you look very well."

Her short silver-gray hair, cute smile, slender limbs, and special aura attract others' attention all the time.

"Ah ah, the girl next door is indeed the best! Do you want to go on a date with me?"

If why he begged Mia just now was a compliment, then Hermes was sincerely complimenting her now, because Hill was indeed the cutest maid in this store.

It's just that he ignored the feelings of his team leader.

After secretly being punished by having their ears and waist pinched, Hill embarrassedly rejected the date invitation and at the same time invited them to sit down in the store.

Came to a corner.

Hermes put away his indifferent expression, narrowed his eyes and said, "Sil, can I ask you something?"

"Okay, I don't know what you want to ask..."

Being a serious god is quite stressful, and Hill has become more formal.

then--

"Xiao Lin...if you know anything about him, can you tell me."

"..."

Hearing the familiar name, Hill unconsciously and inexplicably raised the corners of his mouth to reveal a perfect smile, making his cuteness even higher.

She smiled and asked, "Why do you want to know this?"

"Nothing, I just heard that he often comes to this tavern to drink. Besides, I am also quite interested in people who have helped members of my family."

"..."

"Like doing strange things to him, I haven't thought about it. How about you satisfy my curiosity?"

Seeing her hesitation, Hermes said something.

It was originally meant to be more convincing, but now it looks more like it's getting darker and darker.

Hill replied: "I don't want to tell the current Lord Hermes anything."

"Can't you trust me?"

"Yes, I can't believe it at all."

The girl's smile became even brighter, to the point of dazzling her eyes, and Hermes felt heartbroken at the same time.

It's so natural.

Hermes did not give up and said: "I'm just interested. I promise you I will never do anything. Okay, please just tell me, Hill~"

"Oh, I didn't expect that I'm quite popular and that Lord God cares about me."

Outside the door, there was a joke.

The familiar voice made them look at the person coming.

With a faint smile on his face, the heroic man said: "If you are curious, how about asking me? I think I would be happy to tell Lord Hermes about myself."
