I like traveling the most

"Hmmm——so comfortable!"

On the open plain outside Axel, breathing the fresh air, Xiaolin stretched his body, and his tense spirit relaxed immediately after taking a deep breath.

The maid behind him saw this and asked: "Master Xiaolin, you seem to be relieved?"

"Not just, but really relieved." Under the maid's puzzled eyes, he explained: "Isn't there a saying that the air here is sweeter, no matter how it is better than other places... or something like that. Can you understand?"

"Sorry, Master Xiaolin, it seems that I misunderstood. I thought you would say that a golden nest or a silver nest is not as good as your own doghouse."

"This world is not that bad, right?"

I should be immune to Liu Zi's poisonous tongue, so I just subconsciously complained and refuted it.

But she is right.

A golden nest or a silver nest is not as good as your own doghouse.

"Okay, don't waste time, go back quickly, I can't wait to see Aqua and Sato-kun. I don't know if they are doing well during this period, I hope they don't cause any big trouble."

"I hope your expectations are not disappointed."

What she said made no sense.

I really miss Aqua and Sato Kazuma after being apart for a long time, but they are undoubtedly complete problem children, and I guess they will become depressed soon after meeting them.

Huh, wait.

Isn't this the case that parents work away from home for a year, obviously miss their children, but when they come back, they find that they have caused a lot of trouble, not to mention that they are not studying well, and they become even more angry?

Is that so, I am their old father.

Kobayashi quickly converted in his mind.

Walking along the path to the distant town, saying hello to other villagers who came out to farm on the way, and soon arrived at the gate of Axel Town.

"Oh? It's Xiaolin!"

"Long time no see, Xiaolin."

"Long time no see! I didn't expect you two are still guarding the city gate."

The ones who greeted him were the long-lost guards A and B. They had appeared briefly in the first chapter. They were the minions who were obviously unimportant but always appeared in the field of vision.

The impatient guard B came up with a very unhappy expression.

"Hey, were you hinting at something just now?"

"No, no, I just think you are lucky to be here safely guarding the city gate."

"What did you say?!"

"I said it wrong, I was just curious why you haven't been promoted yet. Of course, this is not to belittle you, but I am really happy that you can guard the city gate."

The more I explain, the more it gets worse. For some reason, when they heard Xiaolin's words, their eyes were a little sour.

But they are indeed lucky.

Although Axel is a border town, it has also experienced attacks by the Headless Knight and the Mobile Fortress Destroyer, and huge mushroom clouds rise from time to time in and outside the city. The two of them can guard here safely, could they also be hidden masters?

While doubting, [Eyes] have seen through their strength, just as Xiaolin thought.

Axel is indeed full of hidden talents, even the guards AB who have no names guarding the city gate have reached a level of more than 30.

"I don't want to do this either! I don't want to do this anymore, but the new lord said that there is no one, and we have to hold on a little longer!"

Guard B suddenly cried loudly, and the passers-by were startled.

Xiaolin asked curiously: "What's going on?"

"It's actually related to the previous lord."

It was guard A who answered his question.

After a brief review, he finally understood what happened.

It turned out that the previous lord, Eldap, bribed the soldiers in the town, even the soldiers guarding the prison, in order to better govern (control) the town, but excluded the two of them and didn't play with them at all.

Could it be that these two people offended the previous lord, so they were assigned to guard the city gate?

Xiaolin felt that something must have happened.

After the current lord, the father of Darkness, the head of the Dustinis family, took over the position of lord, he immediately arrested all those who were related to Eldap and had the kingdom prosecutor Senna interrogate them.

The vacant position was temporarily filled by the people of the Dustinis family, but even so, there were still not enough people, and the two who should be rewarded were still guarding the city gate.

"Okay, okay."

Guard A comforted his colleague and said, "It's thanks to this that the two of us were not arrested and thrown into prison, and we can still guard the city gate here."

It would have been better if he didn't say it, but Guard B cried even louder when he said it.

This experience is really sad and tearful. Should we say he is unlucky or lucky?

Anyway, it has nothing to do with Xiaolin.

He fled quickly after that.

There are many more pedestrians on the street than before, and they all have happy smiles on their faces. It should be the credit of Darkness's father's efforts to rectify.

Axel is a novice village after all, and the flow of people should be so much.

At the same time, I feel relieved.

It seems that nothing big happened to Axel during the time I was away.

Soon, he returned to the suburban mansion.

Familiar buildings, familiar weeds, familiar scenery.

Sure enough, it is more comfortable here.

He took a big step forward, then pushed the door open with force, and shouted to everyone in the mansion with a strong voice.

"——I'm back!"

In the imagination, upon hearing his voice, a large dog named Aqua should fly out from the mansion, but after waiting for a long time, the aqua-blue figure did not appear.

"Did you happen to go out?"

Didn't care.

When I came to the living room, I turned my head and saw the figure huddled on the large sofa, humming an inexplicable tune with dull eyes. That figure was soft and bright and glowed with blue under the sunlight. Isn't it Aqua? ?

What happened to her?

"Xiao Lin, welcome back.

"oh oh……"

The voice has no fluctuations and is extremely perfunctory.

Just when Xiaolin wanted to step forward to care about Aqua, the noisy voices of Sato Kazuma and others came from outside the mansion.

"Listen Megumin, I admit that your explosion magic is very strong, but can you follow my instructions before using it? Our team was almost wiped out just now! Hey, are you listening to me?!"

"There was nothing I could do! When I encountered something thick and big, my legs became weak and I couldn't restrain myself, so I subconsciously took action!"

"Don't say such misleading words!"

"Besides, why didn't you idiot Kazuma stop me?"

"Are you blaming me?!"

The two started arguing loudly.

Even if he didn't know the whole story, Kobayashi could still imagine that it was Megumin's fault for being reckless and blaming it on Kazuma Sato.

Darkness and Youyou, who were in the same team, quickly dissuaded the two.

"Megumin, I think this is your fault."

"Shut up, Youyou. Don't get carried away because you solved the task this time. It's just that I didn't have a chance to use my explosion magic."

"How, how could..."

The weak Youyou was instantly struck down.

Darkness found another way and said: "Megumin, if you can't restrain yourself next time, you can use your magic on me. That magic that makes people tremble in their souls...it's awesome!"

Ba Shu 69 new

"No, let's forget it. How can I use magic on my companions? But if I'm an idiot Kazuma, I can use it without any scruples."

"Hey, you bastard little loli, believe it or not, I will kick you away!"

"I was actually disliked...but the feeling of being disliked is great!"

"Everyone, please stop arguing..."

Problem children are problem children, so Xiao Lin was decisively asked to skip the touching and joyful reunion and go directly to the angry and angry part.

And when the noisy people returned to the mansion and saw the people standing outside the living room, they were all stunned for a moment, and then quickly responded and greeted them warmly.

"Senior Xiaolin?!"

"Xiao Lin!"

"Xiao Lin, welcome back."

"Mr. Xiaolin, welcome back."

"I'm back, everyone."

Unlike the stupid goddess who was already dull and stupid, Sato Kazuma and the others actually greeted each other properly, which made Xiaolin feel a lot better, and then decided not to preach about the dispute they just had.

Although he came only after he understood it, his companions had a lot to say.

But now, he wanted to know what happened to Aqua.

He looked at the goddess curled up on the sofa, and then looked at Sato Kazuma. Sato Kazuma, who had been full of joy just now, instantly changed his expression to disgust after understanding what Xiaolin meant.

"This stupid goddess!"

His scolding was full of displeasure, and then he said in a complaint: "Listen to me, Kobayashi-senpai, Aqua has changed her job and stayed at home."

Xiao Lin had a black question mark face at that time.

As we all know, squatting at home has always been used to describe Sato Kazuma. In the past, Aqua would work as a banquet goddess in the guild at the request of other adventurers. How could it suddenly become like this?

"Actually, the team still has a lot of savings. This idiot kept saying that he didn't want to work, so it became like this."

"oh oh?!"

He was surprised subconsciously, he almost didn't react just now.

Does the team actually have any savings? !

Didn’t you always squander everything in the past?

Even when he comes back, based on the trouble Megumin, Aqua and the others have caused, he may still be burdened with a lot of debt!

"We are not like that either! ... or something, I can't say it at all. In fact, it is because the deposits this time are relatively large, so there is still a lot left."

Sato Kazuma rarely wanted to be tough.

But when he was about to be hard, under Xiao Lin's disbelieving eyes, he quickly softened and told the truth.

It turns out that it has something to do with the large deposits.

"Then what?"

"Then Aqua said she didn't need to rush to work since she still had savings. Even if she ran out of money, she would support her when Kobayashi-senpai came back, so she refused to go out no matter how much I tried to persuade her, and that's what happened."

Everyone turned to look at Aqua, who was still curled up on the sofa. Her eyes were dull and she was humming an unknown tune. Even people who said she was an idiot believed her.

"I see, that's it. Really? Really? I know. So you thought of me as your wallet, that's why it became like this?"

Xiao Lin said with a kind face.

Even though they were laughing, Sato Kazuma and others trembled subconsciously. It was obvious that Senior Kobayashi was angry.

"Sato-kun."

"Yes, yes!"

"Starting next month, Aqua's pocket money will be gone."

"Yes, I know!"

Sato Kazuma answered simply, looking at Aqua with a gloating smile.

The stupid goddess who was just immersed in her own world, after triggering the keywords such as pocket money and no, her eyes immediately regained clarity.

Then she saw Kobayashi again.

‘Starting from next month, Aqua’s pocket money will be halved. ’

This sentence passed through her watery mind again, and she soon realized what happened.

Then, the stupid goddess suddenly changed from energy-saving mode to high-efficiency (funny) mode.

“Master Kobayashi, welcome back!”

Aqua got up from the sofa, quickly came over, pushed Sato Kazuma away, and stood beside Kobayashi. Holding his arm, her voice was flattering and humble.

“You are really, at least tell us in advance when you come back, we will definitely welcome you warmly. Okay, everyone, say welcome back Master Kobayashi!”

This series of reactions stunned everyone.

“I can’t stand this idiot!”

Sato Kazuma was completely disappointed with Aqua’s shameless behavior.

Even Kobayashi was almost the same.

"Aqua?"

"Yes! I am your exclusive goddess, high priest and servant, Aqua, who can do everything from healing, purification and resurrection to wall-building and odd jobs at banquets."

"Uh..."

"However, even your servant needs a little bit of reward, so could Lord Kobayashi be so kind as to leave some pocket money?"

The silly goddess rubbed her soft and tender face in Kobayashi's palm, blinking her big watery eyes as if complaining.

With her cute and lovely appearance, no one can resist this request.

Who did she learn this from?

Could it be that she already knew it?

As expected of Aqua, in addition to her job as a goddess, she is very good at other things, even Kobayashi is firmly controlled by her. After all, who doesn't like a silly goddess who acts like a spoiled child to you?

"Ahem, since Aqua sincerely repents, the pocket money for next month will remain the same."

"Great! Thank you, Kobayashi!"

After getting the pocket money again, the stupid goddess happily rushed over, rubbing her cheek against his chest. This time the welcome was much more enthusiastic than before.

Wait!

Isn't this still treating herself as a wallet?

Sato Kazuma couldn't say anything, because the money was earned by Kobayashi senior, and he was qualified to distribute it in this way. But seeing Aqua's jubilant look, he still pouted unhappily.

"You've escaped, stupid Aqua."

"Pah————"

The stupid goddess stuck out her tongue at him.

At this time, Ryuko suddenly said, "Actually, it was because Miss Kobayashi felt lonely that she deducted Miss Aqua's pocket money."

"Huh?"

"Isn't it? Every time Miss Kobayashi comes back, Miss Aqua will be the first to run over to greet him, and this time, it was Miss Kobayashi who didn't feel lonely that caused this farce."

"Kobayashi..."

Others looked at Kobayashi with sympathy.

No, don't look at me like that!

Although it's the truth, you don't have to say it, Miss Ryuko? !

Kobayashi looked at the maid with a resentful look on her face.

However, I didn't expect that——

"My dears, it's actually very easy to get more pocket money. Mr. Kobayashi is a person who is very afraid of loneliness, so if you can warmly welcome him back, maybe his pocket money will increase. Of course, this is just my one-sided opinion, and whether you believe it depends on your judgment."

"Really, Ryuko, since you said so, then once again..."

Sato Kazuma sighed, looked at each other with his companions, and then everyone smiled happily and said in unison:

"——Welcome back, Mr. Kobayashi" X5

"Ah! I'm back, everyone!"

Sure enough, this place is more popular.
