I like crossing the most

Chapter 277 Even the devil must work hard for the real estate

"In this way, only Senior Kobayashi and Darkness will enter the team?"

"It looks like it should be."

After all the calculations, apart from Megumin who couldn't go down, Aqua who couldn't go down, and Sato Kazuma who had various reasons to guard problem children, Kobayashi and Darkness seemed to be the only ones.

"Wait, wait! There's me, there's more!"

Yoyo is about to cry.

She was clearly standing here, but for some reason she was treated as a little transparent.

"Sorry, I forgot."

Sato Kazuma scratched his head in embarrassment and apologized, but quickly said: "If Yoyo, the great magister, goes down together, it will definitely be easier."

"Yes, yes! I will work hard!" Yoyo summoned up her courage and pretended to work hard.

"Unfortunately, Yoyo can't go out this time either."

"...Ehhhhhh???"

Hearing what Xiaolin said, the girl was dumbfounded.

Feel sorry.Although you are very motivated, in order not to destroy the plan, you can only ignore your feelings.

"Why, I should be busy..."

Yoyo is eager to express herself.

Huihui patted her on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry Yoyo, there are powerful enemies in the dungeon, they are really not friendly to you, wait outside with me."

She spoke very flatly.

But everyone else understands that this little loli just doesn't want Yoyo to surpass herself.After all, Yoyo shines brilliantly in the dungeon, so isn't it because she can't do it the other way around?She will never allow such a thing!
Xiao Lin also shrugged and said, "Sorry, this time the situation is special, and there will be opportunities for Yoyo in the future."

"how come……"

Youyou lowered her head in disappointment.

Huihui comforted her in a fake way.

When they were finalizing the candidates, the other adventurers seemed to have decided who would enter the dungeon.

About 20 people went in together.

The rest stayed outside, responsible for protecting Senna and the others who had no combat power, and expelling the monsters that were constantly wandering around the entrance.

The strategy is quite simple. Kobayashi and Darkness, the two who can withstand the explosion, take the lead, and the other adventurers follow behind.

All held an oil lamp in their hands, illuminating the dark passages of the dungeon.

Kobayashi is no exception.

But he didn't take the one with night vision for himself, but for Darkness, who was holding a long sword and couldn't be empty-handed.

Hold up the oil lamp and open the way ahead.

Darkness followed behind him, and other adventurers followed suit one after another.Although it is a dark and damp dungeon, there is nothing to be afraid of with so many people around.

That being said, the two serve different purposes.

Other adventurers are investigating the reason for the creation of monsters and the source of the seal, but Kobayashi is in order to make money and get the bounty.So it's pretty troublesome for them to follow like this.

Find a way to get rid of them.

Just when Kobayashi thought so, Darkness behind him rushed forward with a gust of wind and collided with the masked doll, making continuous explosion sounds and cheerful laughter.

"Hehehehe, hahahahaha——"

The perverted knight smiled happily.

She was constantly waving the long sword in her hand, slashing at the dolls who had no intention of evading the attack.

This is also a matter of course, after all, the counterattack method of mask dolls will explode, in other words, instead of dodging, they will actively stick to them.

"Xiao Lin, look! It's hit, it's hit! These guys can even hit my sword!"

Even though Darkness's cheeks and armor were dusty, she charged into the battle happily as if nothing had happened, or rather enjoyed it a bit.

What to say.

Even though Kobayashi never talked about her in this regard, Darkness probably still has a little mind about the fact that he has not been able to attack his opponent all this time.

That being the case, then learn an attack skill honestly, don't hold on to the so-called persistence!
...No, if that's the case, she wouldn't be Darkness.

It's a bit strange to say, but this is her characteristic, the only characteristic besides abnormality.

Perhaps it was because the attack could hit the target, but Darkness was very happy anyway, rushing towards the depths like a heavily loaded tank.Moreover, the dungeon built by Kiel himself is quite strong, and there is no sign of collapse even after being blasted one after another.

Seeing that Darkness was about to leave his sight, when Kobayashi was about to catch up, a large group of masked dolls rushed from all directions.

"Wait a minute! Slow down... Hey, why are there so many monsters! It's over! Who will help me pull this guy away!"

The adventurers behind were covered by masked dolls.

boom!
An explosion came from behind.

Not only him, but other adventurers as well.

"Wait, don't come here! Don't come this way!"

"Don't come here!!!"

"Damn it, it's going to explode!"

A series of explosions came to the ears, and a little fire made the crowd scattered.

Kobayashi watched all this silently.

The explosion was quite painful for ordinary adventurers. Although I feel sorry for them, in order not to let them get in the way, it is better not to help.

Turn around and leave quietly.

The excited Darkness didn't seem to notice what was going on behind her, Kobayashi also quickly caught up with her, and then the two rushed to the deepest point in one breath.

With the help of [eyes], the two arrived at the lower floor very smoothly.

That is, near Lich Keel's room.

And at the end of this passage, beyond the end of the room, there was a figure sitting cross-legged in front of the lich's room, pinching the soil on the ground and diligently making dolls.

"Huh? What's that like? Darkness frowned slightly, and said softly: "That guy, no matter how you think about it, he is the master of these monsters, right? "

"It seems so."

Xiaolin nodded.

The man sitting cross-legged on the ground in front of him is wearing an evening dress that does not match the dungeon at all. The hands of the puppet are wearing white gloves, and the mask on his face is exactly the same style as the mask puppet at the entrance. .

The mask that didn't cover the corners of the mouth gave people an ominous feeling.

— Barnier, Duke of Hell.

As a member of the Demon King's Army, he should have noticed the two people who were peeping, but maybe he was too focused on making dolls, that guy didn't even look at them.

Seeing the right lord, Kobayashi took the initiative to attack.

He walked in front of him without any cover, and he didn't look like he was here to crusade the other party.

Hearing footsteps gradually approaching, Barnier faced them.

I was stunned for a while.

But soon, his eyes glowed red, and the corners of his mouth, which leaked out, lifted up, and the ominous breath became more intense.

Then he opened his arms and said loudly: "Oh! I didn't expect someone to arrive here! Adventurers, welcome to my dungeon! I am the root and culprit of evil, the cadre of the Demon King Army-the one who controls the demons. Duke of Hell! The great demon who can see through everything in the world, so is Banir!"

"As expected..."

Darkness raised the long sword in his hand and looked at him cautiously. After all, he is a cadre of the Demon King's Army, so nervousness is inevitable.Even if she had been reminded from the beginning, it was the same.

Seeing that the two didn't have the expected expressions, Barnier raised his eyebrows... Although the upper half of his face was mostly covered, his eyebrows still showed a little from behind the mask.

Said he was surprised now.

After a few seconds-

"Hmm, so that's the case. Did the man over there see through my real body from the very beginning? That [eye] is a bit magical. But how should I put it, the existence of the same type makes us feel uncomfortable."

Barnir saw through Darkness's heart and found a reason not to be afraid or timid.

While praising Kobayashi, he also unceremoniously showed hostility.

In general novels, manga, or anime, the most taboo thing is overlapping roles, or overlapping cuteness.

Even Barnier, the great devil, is the same.

Xiao Lin said with a smile: "Could it be that the Duke of Hell, the cadres of the Demon King's Army are like robbers, can wantonly occupy other people's dungeons?"

"Um???"

Barnier was confused.

Before he could ask, a contract was placed in front of him.

"Please read this contract carefully. This dungeon was originally established by a lich named Kiel, and after he ascended to heaven, he transferred the ownership of this dungeon to me. In other words, the Demon King Army Cadre, the Duke of Hell who controls the demons—Mr. Barnier, you are now occupying my territory."

"What?! How could it be, how could it be like this!"

Barnier quickly picked up the contract, and when he saw that the beneficiary written on it was Xiao Lin, he immediately put his hands on his head and looked unacceptable.

This behavior made Darkness a little scared.

"Hey, Xiaolin, this is..."

"Probably because of jealousy. You see, it's like someone got a castle in the third ring of the capital for no reason. Others who regard this as a lifelong luxury will naturally not be able to accept it, and hate such a person. Why can't it be Own."

"how could it be possible."

Darkness gave him a blank look.

Kobayashi shrugged, he didn't expect that no one would believe him when he told the truth.

As early as when Akuya came to purify, he had told Kiel about this matter. At that time, Kiel was puzzled that Kobayashi would want the ownership of the dungeon, but finally agreed and signed the ownership contract.Anyway, he's about to ascend to heaven, so he won't be able to use anything in the dungeon.

And Kobayashi didn't come on a whim, but had plans early on.

After all, Barnier's dream is to [build the world's largest dungeon and be a BOSS at the bottom, wait until the brave man tries his best to finally defeat him, and open it. According to reason, his back should be full of treasures, but there is only a sarcasm of the brave man. Died after tasting the supreme negative emotion when tasting the treasure chest of the note].

That's why he took ownership of this dungeon on purpose.

Barnier is fully qualified to say to Kobayashi:

——MD, you plot against me!
Even though Barnier's mad look looked like he was playing tricks, Darkness still didn't relax his vigilance.

The name of the leader of the Demon King Army is not a joke, if an attack is launched...

"I won't do that."

"……what?"

"Launching an attack, we would never do that."

Barnier returned to normal.

The demon who can peek into people's hearts has seen through the inner thoughts of the female knight.

This made Darkness even more flustered.

Barnier didn't care about the nervous female knight at all. After regaining her composure, she still maintained a cross-legged posture and said:
"Calm down. I didn't come to this place to start a dispute with you. It's because the Demon Lord asked me to investigate something. Then, I also have something to ask the person who lives in Axel. The owner of the scrap shop who has such a wonderful stunt with the more you work, the poorer you are."

Hearing what he said, Darkness involuntarily looked at Kobayashi.

"Ah, he was right about Wiz."

"So you know."

Kobayashi's answer was confirmed by Barnier.

As a result, the two sides temporarily ceased fighting.

Barnir also began to talk: "First of all, although he is said to be a cadre of the Demon King's army, he only accepted the request of the Demon King to help maintain the barrier of the castle. To put it bluntly, it is just a name."

"Understood, same as Wiz."

"Oh, I didn't expect that stupid store manager to tell all about it."

Kobayashi's answer surprised him a little.

But these are irrelevant.

In order to prove that he is harmless, he said again: "We are demons. For demons, the negative emotions emitted by humans are our appetite. Therefore, we will not do stupid things that hurt or mutilate you. Whenever a human is born On the contrary, we will happily run around in the courtyard."

"...I always feel like I'm being treated like a domestic animal."

Kobayashi complained slightly.

On that day, humans recalled the fear of being dominated by giants (demons).

"Wait a minute!"

Darkness interrupted the topic suddenly.

Under the watchful eyes of the two, the female knight asked: "Generally speaking, if you want to express negative emotions, shouldn't you take the initiative to harm others?"

"No, it's not like that. Like..."

Barnier looked at Darkness, and said under her somewhat uncomfortable expression: "Worried about being seen in the bathroom, girl who keeps expecting to be eaten, did the man over there notice your water chestnut? What about the clear abs? I don’t know why you are wary of me, but I still kindly advise you not to exercise too much.”

"Abs, abs...Abs! You bastard, how dare you say that...!" Darkness made a gesture and drew out the long sword at his waist, about to slash at it.

Kobayashi hugged her from behind, endured the friction of the cold armor and said at the same time: "Calm down, Darkness, the other party is obviously trying to lure you to express negative emotions. And didn't I say that, Darkness, you are very Feminine, I like it very much."

"Even so..."

The female knight blushed, and her body softened.

Barnier touched his chin when he saw this, and said, "So that's it, it's come to that point. She can be eaten at any time, but he doesn't do it anyway. Is it because there is no chance or is she hanging on purpose? This girl His hobbies are really special, and we are a little bit confused."

What he said was very ambiguous, but Darkness stopped moving.

"As you can see, there are hundreds of kinds of negative emotions, ranging from high to low. Every demon has a different sense of taste and different preferences. Some demons like human fear and despair, and some like us. After transforming into a peerless beauty and approaching a man, and doing everything possible to make the other party fall in love with me, I revealed my true face and said——It’s a pity, it’s actually me! Then I savored the emotion of blood and tears left by the other party.”

This guy is a complete devil!

If he really did that, the person who was teased would probably be so ashamed and angry that he would choose to commit suicide.

wait.

Kobayashi suddenly thought of a question.

"What should you do if that person says that even this is okay?"

"……Aha?"

"What I mean is, even if you are a devil, even if you are a man on the surface, and that person says I can, what will you do?"

"Uh--"

Barnier was silent.

Kobayashi could clearly feel that the brain of the Duke of Hell, who was in charge of the demons, was down. Obviously, he didn't expect such a weird person to exist.

"No, no, how could such a person exist?"

"……Ha ha."

Barnier shook his head in denial, Kobayashi just responded with a smile.It seems that the other party still underestimated the XP of human beings. You must know that some people can even have a hole, let alone female-to-male conversion.To some extent, it will arouse the other party's excitement even more.

When Barnier peeked at Xiao Lin's inner thoughts, and his expression became more and more weird and distorted, Xiao Lin said to him: "Mr. Barnier, why don't we make a deal."

"Oh, deal?"

The cadre of the Demon King Army, the Duke of Hell who commands the demons, is very interested in Kobayashi's proposal.
