Standing in front of the [Maze City] known as the center of the world, looking at the tall chalk tower in the center of the city that pierces into the clouds, Kobayashi murmured:
"Show your skills to the fullest?... That's what he said. Liu Zi, what do you think?"
"No, Mr. Kobayashi."
The perfect waiter doesn't say much.
Under normal circumstances, the doll girl with a poisonous tongue will definitely seize the opportunity to provoke him, and then she will pretend to be angry and gag her mouth to fight back. It is the same routine every time... What this time? He didn't say anything but made Xiaolin quite uncomfortable.
Could it be...
"You're angry?"
"No. Whether it's because there are countless girls around Xiaolin and I'm getting carried away, or a master forgot to agree to a date together, as your waiter, I'm not angry at all."
Liuzi's alluring little mouth spat out harsh and sarcastic words, but Xiao Lin enjoyed it.
It's right, it's right, this is it.
"Master Kobayashi is really a pervert."
"That's not it!"
His expression seems to have misunderstood Liu Zi, or is it just an extension of soothing inner dissatisfaction?
But no matter what, Xiao Lin still said: "I'm sorry, Liu Zi, I seem to have ignored your feelings."
Liu Zi shook her head: "I'm not angry because I was left out in the cold, it's better to say that I monopolized Mr. Xiao Lin for a long time. Instead, I should consider the feelings of several other adults. Because I know that no matter what, Mr. Xiao Lin will Won't leave me behind."
"Liu Zi..."
The girl is sincere and considerate, and Kobayashi is very moved.
Liu Zi unknowingly occupied an important position in his heart.
Unlike Akuya and the others, Liu Zi is his biggest reliance when taking risks in other worlds.
"I love you, Liu Zi."
"Me too, Mr. Kobayashi."
The hands of the two stretched out at the same time, and then intertwined in a very natural way, and then walked towards the town.
Come on, our date begins.
----
Walking on the wide avenue, the lively yelling of vendors on both sides kept coming to my ears.As the center of the world, people come and go for sure.
And at a vendor on East Avenue.
"Here, mochi balls! Thank you for your patronage!...What, did you say that Hermes is back?"
The goddess who is working hard, while deftly preparing mochi balls for customers and handing them smiling faces, she is also frowning and chatting with the male god who is wearing a kimono and combing his horned hair.
The expression changes are very natural, and it seems that the business is quite skilled.
They were none other than Hestia and Jian Yulei.
The two were friends in the heavens, and they were equally weak in the lower realms. They kept in touch without disputes and often chatted like this.
And this time the theme is Hermes.
"He came back really early this time." Hestia was also a little puzzled, and said, "Didn't he also attend the divine meeting last time?...Come, please take your mochi balls, thank you Patrons!"
"I don't quite understand that either. It's unlikely that the guy would run back as soon as he finished his work for no reason."
Jian Yulei, who pinched his chin, fell into deep thought.
Judging from his understanding of Hermes and his temperament, there will definitely be some big news when he comes back this time.
It might even affect them.
"Are you too worried? Come on, please get your mochi balls. Thank you for your patronage!"
"It would be great if that's the case... After all, the business of your store is really good."
"Hmph, of course! Because I'm here!"
Hestia stretched out her huge bosom which didn't fit her petite body at all.
Jian Yulei's mouth twitched.
I don't know what to be proud of.
...Forget it, as long as Hestia is happy.
Some goddesses eat, drink and have fun all day long, and some goddesses work hard all day long. They all have a bright future.
Back to the topic.
Jian Yulei said worriedly: "Although he said that he was interested in Bell Craney, he always felt that there should be other intentions. I am very worried."
"Would it? He's Hermes. I don't think he will take the initiative to cause any trouble."
Hestia saw off the last customer in line, and after getting a brief breathing room, she wiped the sweat from her forehead with a happy expression.
Jian Yulei was a little annoyed when he saw that his friend's crisis was approaching but he didn't care.
"Is there any basis for it?"
"God's intuition!"
"——!!!"
Hestia felt as if she had been struck by lightning.
Nothing is more convincing than God's intuition.
Just like the gods can judge whether the people in the lower world are lying, the gods have a strong intuition, and the stronger the hunch, the more likely it will happen.
But why didn't she have a premonition?
Hestia scratched his head with a dazed expression, showing the beauty of losing his IQ.
"Anyway, now is a critical period, Hestia, you should pay a little attention."
"Well, let's all be careful."
The two gods nodded to each other.
At this time, a voice woke them up.
"Excuse me, please bring me a mochi ball."
"Okay, here we come!"
"Then I'm leaving, Hestia."
"it is good."
After saying goodbye to Jian Yulei quickly, Hestia smiled again, but this time he was no longer as heartless as before, but a little uneasy.
----
And the other side.
On the equally lively North Street, one person and one god walked among the crowd.
Both of them are dressed as nomads. The handsome male god wears a cowboy hat with feathers on his head, while the mature female god covers her whole body with a wide white cloak.
It was Hermes who was being discussed just now, and Yasphi, the leader of his family members.
"Then Yasifei, how is he doing recently?"
"According to the guild's official information, he is already at LV[-], and even has some kind of powerful attack magic. It is rumored that he used magic to defeat the Minotaur when he advanced."
"Oh?"
Hermes raised his eyebrows.
I didn't expect such an interesting thing to happen during his absence. If I had known about it, I wouldn't have sneaked away.
Ya Sifei reported flatly: "However, this matter is quite controversial. Because some people are talking about it behind their backs, saying that defeating the Minotaur is just to catch the Loki family's loopholes and steal away the dying monsters. His rank. That’s why some people call him a rookie of parallel imports.”
"Hahahaha, parallel importer rookie, the name is well chosen!"
Hermes laughed again.
It's just that there is sarcasm and contempt in the laughter.
Unexpectedly, the eyes of the adventurers are quite harsh. They must be suspicious and jealous when they know the time of their promotion, which is why they are dissatisfied.
It's really ridiculous.
It's just a hit with magic, it's just a final blow to a dying monster... The [Grace] of the gods is not so simple that it can be sublimated by relying on that kind of cheap experience points.
They're just a bunch of blind guys.
Seeing the faint sneer at the corner of Hermes' mouth, Yasifei asked suspiciously, "Are you trying to do something to the little rookie?"
"What's the matter, is it because you have been neglected recently that you are jealous?"
"Who is jealous! Don't get me wrong, I mean I just don't want to cause any trouble!"
Hermes is not a god who likes to cause trouble, but it is another matter to let Asfi come to deal with the aftermath every time he gets into trouble.
"but……"
"but?"
"If possible, I hope Lord Hermes will consider that person... After all, the month you left is to find out his origin, isn't it?"
Asfi stared into his eyes.
Hermes pretended to be stupid and said, "Huh? Who are you talking about? Why can't I understand?"
"Eh?"
"Look, if you don't tell him his name, how will I know who you're talking about. Although I have a close relationship with you, Yasifei, we haven't reached the point of mutual understanding."
"You bastard god...!"
The veins on Yasifei's forehead popped out, she gritted her teeth and clenched her fist, and was about to hit him in the face in the next second.
But Hermes laughed loudly and said, "Don't worry. I know you and Xiao Lin had an adventure together in the dungeon. I know Xiao Lin is very talented and I like him quite a lot, so I chose to explore, right? ?”
Hermes patted her on the head as if to appease the head of his family who liked to worry about things.
But what Yasifei didn't see was that Hermes' expression was not very good.
Because he found nothing.
Kobayashi is like a person who suddenly appeared in this world, except for a brief appearance in the desert, there is no trace of the past, just like a visitor from another world.
Hermes did not lie to Asfi, he was really optimistic about Kobayashi who was looking forward to the birth of a hero.
But Kobayashi, whose origin is unknown, will inevitably make people worry.
Yasifei slapped his hand away shyly, coughed lightly and said, "Speaking of which, have you already mentioned it to the god Uranus?"
"No, not yet." Hermes shook his head helplessly: "Although I followed your suggestion to win Xiaolin, I don't think Uranus will let go easily. But before that, there is one who must first The one who greets her will do."
The two stopped at the door of a tavern.
——The Fertile Mistress
Asphi glanced at Hermes silently.
In the past, my own gods would avoid this tavern, but unexpectedly, they took the initiative to come here this time.
Hermes stepped forward and pushed open the door of the tavern.
"Welcome meow!" The cat maid in the store greeted warmly, and when she saw who was coming, she said in surprise, "Master Hermes?"
"Ah, long time no see, little Chloe."
Hermes greeted her with a smile and explained to her why he came.
"Excuse me, can I ask you to call Mia out?"
"Okay meow, wait meow!"
The cat-eared girl Chloe saluted him, and then quickly ran to the counter.
soon--
Mia appeared in front of her, and she asked with a stern face, "What makes you, a god, come here in broad daylight?"
Hermes winked at her: "Don't look unhappy~ Your cute little face is wasted."
"If you talk nonsense again, I'll take your head off!"
The rough [little giant] had a ferocious face, scaring the surrounding adventurers into a chill, and at the same time, their faces were full of admiration.
To be able to say such things to Mia's mother without changing his face, Hermes is already a god-level existence in their hearts... Wait, he seems to be a god in the first place?
No wonder he is so cold-hearted.
When Mia saw the smiling god, she sighed and said, "I'm very busy here. If you need anything, please tell me quickly."
"Then I'll just say... can you help me arrange an appointment to meet Freya?"
Hermes lowered his voice after getting closer.
[Little Giant] Few people know that Mia is the former head of the Freya Familia, but among them is Hermes, who has a lot of information on the Labyrinth City and its surrounding areas.
Mia frowned slightly, while Hermes still smiled incongruously.
half an hour.
"Aha……"
Mia sighed, and said, "I don't want to be manipulated by you stupid gods. If there is something I want to say to that goddess, I will run to her myself."
After speaking, he waved his hand, turned around and left.
Hermes smiled awkwardly, and Asfi curled her lips.
It's only natural to fail if you don't look out of tune.
At this moment, a lovely gray-haired maid happened to pass by, and subconsciously greeted her, "Master Hermes?"
"Oh, Hill! Long time no see, how are you?!"
Hermes' eyes lit up instantly.
With a smile on his face, Hill walked up to greet him and said, "Long time no see, it's great that you look good."
Short silver-gray hair, cute and cute smiling face, slender limbs, and vaguely special aura, attracting the attention of others all the time.
"Ah ah, the girl next door is indeed the best! Do you want to go on a date with me?"
If it was a compliment to ask Mia just now, then Hermes is sincerely praising her now, because Hill is indeed the cutest maid in this store.
It's just that he ignored the feelings of his head.
After secretly pulling his ears and pinching his waist and waiting for punishment, Hill embarrassingly rejected the invitation for a date, and at the same time invited them to sit down in the store.
Came to a corner.
Hermes put away his confused look, narrowed his eyes and said, "Hill, can I ask you something?"
"Okay, I don't know what you want to ask..."
The serious god is still under pressure, and Hill is also officially up.
then--
"Xiao Lin... If you know anything about him, can you tell me."
"..."
Hearing the familiar name, Hill unconsciously and inexplicably raised the corner of his mouth to show a perfect smile, which made the cuteness even higher.
She smiled and asked, "Why do you want to know this?"
"It's nothing, I just heard that he often comes to this tavern to drink. Moreover, I am also very interested in people who have helped my family members."
"..."
"It's like doing strange things to him. I haven't even thought about it. How about it, can you satisfy my curiosity?"
Seeing her hesitate, Hermes said something along the way.
Originally, I wanted to increase my persuasiveness, but now it looks more like it is 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 a matter of course.
Hermes didn't give up and said, "I'm just interested, and I promise you I won't do anything. Okay, please tell me, Hill~"
"Oh, I didn't expect that I was quite popular, and I was actually cared about by God."
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, why not ask me? I think I would be happy to tell Hermes about myself."
