I like traveling the most

Returning to the familiar yet strange suburban mansion.

The reason why he said it was familiar yet strange was not only because he hadn't been back in spirit for about 20 years, but also because the mansion was too clean.

Whether it was the exterior or the interior, whether it was the corridor or the room, even the toilet was clean as new.

There were many lazy stay-at-home people in the team, such as Aqua, Sato Kazuma and Huihui, but there were also many diligent people, such as Youyou, Darkness and Ryu.

Despite this, the room was too clean, making it impossible to calm down!

In addition, even at home, all the team members were dressed in formal clothes, which made people feel that something was wrong.

Huihui was wearing an off-shoulder dress, and the black dress perfectly contrasted her fair skin. Youyou was also wearing a black dress, which was quite eye-catching with her plump figure.

Aqua changed her usual blue-based feathered clothes and put on a pure white dress. The beauty she presented was really that as long as she didn't say anything, she would probably be worshipped as a goddess. Darkness was wearing a dress of the same color.

Two black and two white?

It's understandable that Darkness, who was originally a noble daughter, wears formal clothes, but it always feels wrong for two stay-at-home people like Sato Kazuma and Aqua to wear formal clothes. And shouldn't Yunyun and Huihui wear clothes that are very characteristic of the Crimson Demon Clan?

As for Sato Kazuma and Kobayashi... it's better not to say anything.

"You are exaggerating."

"Don't be careless, Kobayashi! You have to know that the person you are receiving is the first princess of this kingdom, Her Highness Alice. If you are not careful, you will lose your head!"

Although he knew that Darkness wanted to say something serious to make Kobayashi nervous, the several problem children around him really made him unable to be nervous.

"If you are not careful? Do you mean the stupid goddess who performed sand painting at the banquet, or the little loli who wanted to use explosion magic to ruin the banquet, or the devil Kazuma who stole the princess's guard's underwear, or the noble daughter who slapped the princess? If you lose your head, I guess you guys would have been beheaded long ago."

"This, this..."

Darkness couldn't say anything at all.

Sato Kazuma rushed over, pushed her aside and said with a wronged tone: "Listen to me, Senior Kobayashi! That hateful female knight actually dared to look down on us. We must teach her a lesson later!"

"Are you sure you didn't steal her underwear and anger her so that she couldn't throw the problem to me? You did the same thing, right?"

Seeing through his trick at a glance.

Kobayashi sighed helplessly.

I had just woken up from the hibernation capsule and was hurriedly taken back to the mansion to attend the banquet. Couldn't I rest for a day? How anxious was that princess?

"Wuwuwu, wuwuwuwu——"

"What do you want to say, Aqua? Forget it, I allow you to take the cloth off your mouth."

After returning to the mansion, Kobayashi blocked her mouth that wanted to beg for mercy without saying a word and severely punished Aqua.

"Puha——, I want to say don't be afraid, I will show my talent at the critical moment to make Her Highness Princess happy."

"It's because of your inexplicable talent that made Her Highness Princess angry!"

Darkness screamed madly, then hugged Xiaolin and begged: "Please, Xiaolin! I can only rely on you! As long as I can make Her Highness Princess happy and send her away smoothly, you can ask me to do anything!"

Feng Ying pressed against Xiaolin's chest, some blood was boiling, and this sentence really made people restless.

Unfortunately——

"Lord Darkness, although your idea is good, Lord Xiaolin appeared naked in front of Her Highness Princess in the suburban warehouse."

"...You, what did you say?"

"Is your ear malfunctioning? There is no way, then I will repeat it again. Lord Xiaolin appeared naked in front of Her Highness Princess in the suburban warehouse, so I really want to share your worries, but unfortunately your expectations have not been met."

Ryu Zi's poisonous tongue dealt a heavy blow to Darkness.

The noble lady in a dress folded her hands on her chest and fell backwards with a peaceful face. If she was placed in a coffin filled with flowers, she could have been buried.

It was obvious that Darkness was completely heartbroken.

She was still thinking of relying on Kobayashi to save the situation, but now she can only see a future of being beheaded.

Aqua and others looked at Kobayashi with strange eyes, and Sato Kazuma looked at him with great admiration.

"I say, you guys, do you think I'm a pervert?"

"Isn't it? Even Kazuma wouldn't do such a perverted thing to be naked in front of a little girl... No, he would probably do that."

"Hey, I will still take action when I have to!" Sato Kazuma shouted at Aqua angrily.

Kobayashi also rolled his eyes in annoyance.

Whose fault does this stupid goddess think it is? Has she forgotten why she was taught a lesson?

"Okay, okay, don't worry." Xiao Lin didn't care: "The princess is not so unreasonable, otherwise you wouldn't be standing here safely, right?"

"Xiao Lin..."

"Xiao Lin Senior!"

The team members smiled with relief. Xiao Lin is the backbone of the team. If it were them, they really couldn't handle it.

"Isn't it because the princess said she would be responsible that Xiao Lin would be so confident?"

"Miss Liu Zi?!"

Xiao Lin's face changed after being sabotaged by the maid.

This immediately alerted the team members, especially the female members, and they questioned.

"Wait a minute, Miss Liuzi, what's going on?"

"Don't you all know? When we were in a warehouse in the suburbs, Her Royal Highness the Princess saw Mr. Xiaolin's body. She told Mr. Xiaolin that she would be responsible. It must be because of this that she is so relaxed and even proud, right? She actually let the young girl say Responsible for something... Mr. Xiaolin, you have no shame."

Wait, can you stop being so angry, Miss Liuzi?

Her words completely ignited the anger of the girls.

"Really? I know, I know! That princess is here to snatch the man! Okay! Yoyo, take my wand over here. I want to invite the princess to watch the fireworks!"

"No, you can't do that, Megumin!"

"Then I will be responsible for resurrecting Her Highness the Princess, so that she can understand who Xiaolin's disciple is."

"H-stop it, Aqua!"

Yunyun and Darkness stopped the angry Megumin and Aqua, who started shouting about Xiaolin's ownership.

Sato Kazuma patted Kobayashi on the shoulder with both envy and sympathy.

Because of the Shura field caused by women, no matter who it is, any man will feel proud, but the targets are Megumin and Aqua, who have brain problems, which really makes people unhappy.

"Miss Liuzi!"

"Does Master Xiaolin want to punish me? Yes, please punish me as much as you like."

Liu Zi was about to take off her clothes in front of everyone without saying anything. Xiao Lin held her hand and stopped her from adding fuel to the fire.

"I'm sorry, I was wrong, forgive me."

If she took off her clothes, the mansion might completely collapse.

"You guys, calm down quickly! It's time for Her Royal Highness the Princess's banquet later. Are you going to die if you make such a fuss?"

Darkness stopped them anxiously.

Probably thinking of what happened at the previous banquet, everyone calmed down quickly.

"Listen up. As before, Your Highness Alice is mainly handled by me and Xiaolin. You just need to concentrate on eating and nodding. Don't interrupt anything!"

Aqua and the others nodded quickly.

Seeing a few people being so straightforward, Darkness felt completely uneasy. They were the same way last time, but they still caused a lot of trouble at the banquet.

But this time is different. With Xiao Lin, everything will go smoothly...probably.

Darkness used all her strength and pushed open the door, like a brave knight about to die.

Behind the door is a banquet hall with a wide space and a moderate sense of luxury without being too luxurious. The candlesticks inside were all lit, maintaining considerable brightness, and there were several servants surrounding the dining table, waiting silently.

I heard that the venue for the first banquet was the lord's mansion, the Dustinis' house, and the second banquet was held at the mansion.

I understand what Her Royal Highness the Princess is thinking. She definitely hopes to experience the lives of Xiaolin and others up close, just like the latter always wants to visit the former residence of a great man. I just didn't expect that in order to entertain Her Royal Highness, the mansion had been renovated, and the original appearance was no longer visible.

"Hey, Darkness, who paid for the renovation."

"...Dustinese's family."

Darkness rolled her eyes beautifully. The noble daughter, who was still a little nervous, relaxed her tense spirit after being interrupted like this.

As for the other problem children in the team, there is no need to worry. They have no idea what nervousness means.

Coming to the room, there was a large dining table in the room covered with a big red carpet. The table was filled with all kinds of luxurious dishes, and they were all cooked with rare ingredients. Although I knew the princess's banquet would be luxurious, I didn't expect it to be so arrogant.

At the other end of the table, sat a blond girl with blue eyes, wearing a pure white dress like Darkness and Aqua.

She can be said to be a model of a princess. She has medium-length golden hair and clear blue eyes. She exudes a noble temperament and gives a vague impression of being slender. She is an orthodox beautiful girl.

It was Alice who had met once before.

She stared with interest at the group of people walking into the hall, to be precise, Xiaolin who was standing next to Darkness.

On both sides of Her Royal Highness, stood two young women, dressed in standard knight and magister attire.

Among them, the knight woman glared at Xiao Lin fiercely, and the mage's mind was also staring at Xiao Lin, but her eyes kept wandering to Xiao Lin's lower body.

Hey, bitch, what are you thinking about?

Darkness saluted Her Highness the Princess gracefully, and Aqua and others also saluted one after another.

No, I'm a little dizzy.

A person who used to be carefree suddenly became serious. It would be incredible to everyone. Xiao Lin was in such a state.

Of course, he also bowed appropriately like his companions. After all, he has been a noble in another world for twenty years, so he is naturally familiar with the etiquette of nobles.

Seeing this, Her Royal Highness the Princess lay down in the ear of the female knight and whispered something. I had boldly said I would take responsibility before, but now I am still so shy.

Soon, the female knight's arrogant voice came.

"I didn't expect that a mere untouchable could actually know the etiquette of an aristocrat. Although it is not standard, it is still impressive. It's just that your class cannot use the etiquette of an aristocrat. I think you are a first-time offender and I will forgive you this time. Next time we meet, please do it to me. A huge gift! ...That’s what Her Highness the Princess said.”

Hey hey hey, did Her Royal Highness the Princess say that? Why do I remember that she doesn’t have that kind of character?

She told me that she would be responsible.

Could it be that you were adding fuel to the fire?

Kobayashi questioned with his eyes, and the female knight raised her proud head, with an attitude of "I did it on purpose, what can you do to me".

You dare to provoke me?

Very good, you are dead.

Princess Alice whispered something in her ear again. Kobayashi's excellent hearing heard that the princess was concerned about him lying in the hibernation cabin, but it was completely different from the mouth of the female knight.

"I heard from your companions that you had to lie in the hibernation cabin for treatment because you were seriously injured in a desperate fight with the Demon King's Army cadre Sylvia. Is this true?"

Kobayashi glared at Sato Kazuma and found that he was whistling and his eyes were wandering.

This idiot deliberately added a lot of unnecessary plots to make the story ups and downs. It was obviously an easy victory, but it made the team members look like they had a narrow escape.

But this can't be entirely blamed on him. Other adventurers, mainly from another world, often annihilate the enemy in a gorgeous way. Although the story is exciting, you will get bored if you hear it too much. After all, the story of overwhelming monsters is not very interesting.

But Xiaolin couldn't deny it. If he was regarded as a liar, he would probably have to live in another world. So he could only answer dryly.

"...I guess so."

"I guess so? Humph, it seems that Mr. Xiaolin is not as strong as imagined. It's a pity that Mr. Yu Jian Xiangye praised you so much, saying that you and Sato Kazuma are very outstanding adventurers. But the man behind you said that he was defending his homeland from harm, but in fact he was just a dead otaku. I think you are also a boastful person. You must have played some tricks to defeat Mr. Yu Jian Xiangye... That's what the princess said."

You are lying!

Her Highness Princess didn't lie down and talk to you. You just said it on your own initiative!

However, the female knight's contemptuous eyes did not fall on Kobayashi, but stared at Sato Kazuma. I remembered that Sato Kazuma had taken off her underwear.

In fact, Yuken Hibiki was indeed defeated by his little tricks several times, and he couldn't help but wonder if Yuken Hibiki was flattering him.

"Looking at your strength, it's hard not to doubt that you really have the strength to defeat the Demon King's Army cadres. Maybe you colluded with Yuken Hibiki to deceive the royal family... That's what the princess said."

This female knight targeted Kobayashi everywhere.

Is it because she let the princess see something she shouldn't see, so she is so angry? Or is it because Sato Kazuma stole her underwear and held a grudge, so she took her anger out on Kobayashi?

No, it's not just that.

Kobayashi is very familiar with her eyes, that is the look she gives her rival. This guy actually has ideas about the princess! This evil lesbian! Let go of that little girl, let me do it!

"What the knight means is..."

"Let's fight. I think that someone who can defeat many Demon King's army cadres and has been recognized by the Demon Sword Hero Mitsurugi Hibiki-sama will not use such despicable means."

After saying that, she glared at Sato Kazuma.

The man who was glared at still whistled and pretended not to hear.

Are you pushing the trouble to me after all?
