I love time travel the most!

"That's an entire nation, an entire nation's faith, and it's only worth three drops, three drops?!?"

Xiaolin was dumbfounded.

The feeling is like Talking Tom betting his entire fortune on a tiny diamond ring, intending to present it to his dream girl, only to have her dismiss it with disdain.

not good!

The imagery was so vivid that I felt offended.

Kazuma Sato said softly, "Kobayashi-senpai?"

"...Sorry, I was daydreaming."

Xiaolin shook his head.

Then, he recounted the events of that world in a largely altered and condensed manner.

After all, Darkness and Megumin didn't know he had the ability to travel between worlds. During the time he was away, they simply thought that Kobayashi had gone back to his hometown for a while.

"You actually converted your hometown into the Axis religion, Kobayashi, are you alright?" Megumin asked with concern.

Darkness also expressed his concern: "The Axis Cult has a bad reputation; I've heard they're all a bunch of troublesome guys."

"It's okay!...right?"

Kobayashi wasn't sure either.

That fanatical acting pope is very likely to cause trouble. To avoid getting into any big problems, it's best to go back and visit him more often.

"and many more!

I can't pretend I didn't hear what you said!

Aqua slammed her hand on the table, puffing out her cheeks to make them even more swollen than before.

She retorted indignantly, "Those children are all good children. The people Axis teaches are not like what you say!"

"Ah, yes, yes, everything you said is right."

"Hello--!"

This blatantly dismissive remark made her very unhappy.

However, she turned to comfort Xiaolin and said, "It's okay, faith is like a crop that keeps growing back, and soon it will gather in this much more."

"Don't treat your followers like韭菜 (leeks/chives), you stupid goddess."

Xiaolin couldn't help but complain.

However, she is right. Faith is all about sustainable development and long-term planning. Given enough time, it is certain that a considerable amount of divine power can be collected.

...provided that Aqua does not squander the money recklessly.

"Rest assured, this is the faith gathered by my precious children, and I will absolutely not waste it!"

"really?"

Despite her assurances, Xiaolin simply couldn't believe her.

Hopefully, knowing how hard-won her divine power is, she will cherish and make good use of it.

Although it is highly unlikely.

Chapter 99 My knife is coated with poison.

The Adventurers' Guild is always bustling with activity.

Axel is, after all, a beginner village. Any newbie who wants to become an adventurer will undergo a considerable period of training here, so it is always filled with laughter and noise.

Furthermore, Aqua is still the kind of idiot who gets carried away by a little flattery, and she once again put on a show of her superb banquet skills.

Even Kobayashi was caught up in the atmosphere and became cheerful.

With both feet on the ground, the brain shuts down.

As expected, Konosuba is more relaxing.

However, Aqua did heed Kobayashi's advice. She didn't waste her divine power; she simply used it to spray a few water droplets on her head to add to the fun and then stopped.

After a period of laughter, the team returned to their residence.

Then Kobayashi, Sato Kazuma, Aqua, and Ryuko spent time together in one room.

Don't get me wrong, they weren't having any indescribable private party; they just wanted to tell them exactly what had happened.

Kobayashi said that Ryuu was responsible for making the supplements.

"In conclusion, in order to change the tragic fate of that world, I ultimately chose to establish the Kingdom of Axis, thus achieving a happy ending."

Kobayashi succinctly summarized his great achievements.

If it were anyone else, they would definitely have boasted and tried to take credit for Aqua, but Kobayashi had no such thoughts at all.

because……

"If they knew that the goddess they worshipped was this guy, they would definitely turn evil."

"That's it."

Xiaolin couldn't help but cover her face with her hands.

Nothing shatters illusions more than reality bringing despair. If they knew that the goddess they worshipped was a fool who wasted the nation's collective divine power on a single banquet, they would surely be so angry that they would abandon their faith on the spot.

"Then be more self-aware and don't establish a theocracy!"

Kazuma Sato roared, but then changed the subject, saying, "...Although I really want to say that, since Kobayashi-senpai did this, he must have his own reasons."

"No, it's just going with the flow."

"—Senior Kobayashi?!"

Sato Kazuma looked speechlessly at Kobayashi, who seemed to have given up on everything. He never imagined that his respected senior could be so unreliable.

That world is alright, I hope it won't be destroyed. I wish it could develop peacefully.

He prayed sincerely.

"Etc., etc!"

Aqua burst in, annoyed, and retorted, "Why are you saying that? They're my followers! They may be a little strange, but they're all good kids. Can you please stop looking at them with prejudice?"

"Hehehe——"

Xiaolin's lips twitched twice.

If he hadn't deliberately delegated power to Lan, Riva, Najenda, Esdeath, and others to create a check and balance before he left, that acting pope would have definitely turned the world upside down.

The Axis religion has such great power.

Kazuma Sato asked eagerly, "What did you gain from this time travel, Kobayashi-senpai?"

"I learned a lot."

Kobayashi tapped his fingers and began to sort.

The four Imperial Arms are: [Five Visions of Omnipotence], [God's Hand], [Shangri-La], and [Supreme Throne].

Actually, he wanted to bring all the Imperial Arms back with him.

However, the newly established theocracy was short of troops and weak. In order to strengthen its power and prevent being besieged, it only took a few Imperial Arms that had been fused or were not very important.

Kobayashi had also planned to bring back the "Guaranteed Hit Bow" as a gift for Kazuma Sato, but it was destroyed in the final chaotic battle against the foreign tribes, which left him quite disappointed.

"But I've prepared another gift."

He pulled a small knife from his pocket.

It is similar in shape to a short knife, and looks very simple with no ostentatious decorations.

"Oh, oh, oh, oh!" Sato Kazuma excitedly leaned closer and asked, "What's this little knife?"

"It's a dagger reforged from a fragment of an Imperial Arms. It contains a powerful cursed poison; even a small cut will be fatal, so you must be careful when using and maintaining it," Kobayashi warned him.

That's right.

In the final battle, Murasame, the "One-Hit Kill" sword, was broken by Esdeath. Afterwards, Kobayashi collected all the fragments, fused them together, and forged this dagger.

Don't underestimate it.

Although it's a bit short, it still retains the curse poison ability that can kill with one blow. It's just unclear whether it can still activate the hidden techniques inherent in the Imperial Arms.

"So, do you like it?"

"I love it!"

Kazuma Sato picked up the knife with great joy.

Perhaps because she liked it so much, because she liked it at first sight, Xiaodao did not feel any rejection, and the two were a good match.

Then, he made a jaw-dropping gesture, lightly licking the blade, and said with a hint of arrogance:

"—My knife is coated with poison; even a slight graze will send you to your grave."

The manga "Yoshihiko the Hero and the Demon King's Castle" is very well-known in Japan, with many memorable scenes, so it's not surprising that Kazuma Sato would know about it.

I just didn't expect him to suddenly use this meme.

Kobayashi snapped urgently, "Hey, you idiot! I told you to be careful when using it, or you'll get cursed to death!"

"It's okay, it's okay, my hand holding the knife was quite far away... Huh?"

As Kazuma Sato was speaking, he tasted a metallic flavor, followed by a stream of bright red blood flowing down the corner of his mouth. Combined with his panicked expression, it created a strangely absurd and comedic effect.

The knife was so sharp that it managed to cut a small gash in the soft tongue with just a bit of its edge.

"Well."

Kazuma Sato clutched his heart, his eyes bulging out as black characters covered his entire body. Before he could react, he was cursed to death.

"Pfft—Hahaha!!!"

Upon seeing this, Aqua immediately rolled around on the bed, clutching her stomach and laughing uncontrollably.

I told you to be careful!

Kobayashi scolded him with a headache, but unfortunately, Kazuma Sato had already gone to see Eris and couldn't hear him at all.
