I love time travel the most!

I never expected him to die in such a dramatic way, but it doesn't matter, they still have an infinite margin of error.

"Aqua, please revive him."

"...Hahaha, that idiot Kazuma died so casually. I'll definitely make fun of him when he comes back to life."

Aqua used purification to remove the cursed poison from Sato's body, and then used divine power to revive him.

The resurrected boy lowered his head awkwardly, not daring to look at Xiaolin. Xiaolin had originally planned to say something, but seeing that the boy knew he was wrong, she stopped scolding him.

This concludes the gift-giving session.

Unfortunately, there aren't any suitable Imperial Arms for Darkness and Megumin, but he could use them on them, such as [Five Visions] and [God's Hand], to help them develop significantly...

Pshaw, what are you thinking?

I shook my head, trying to banish the yellow waste from my mind.

The four then parted ways and returned to their respective rooms to rest. Kazuma Sato was clutching his knife, probably too excited to sleep tonight.

Kobayashi also collapsed onto the bed.

He tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. He probably had developed a habit of using a fleshy pillow to sleep, and the sudden loss of it made him feel a little lost and empty.

He got up and left the room.

Under the moonlight, I saw a figure acting suspiciously in the courtyard, fiddling with something.

Walk over quietly.

"...Aqua?"

"—Huh?!!!!"

Aqua's shoulders twitched, as if she was startled, but she breathed a sigh of relief when she turned around and saw that it was Kobayashi.

"Don't scare me, Kobayashi."

"Sorry, I thought it was a thief."

Kobayashi apologized softly.

Aqua asked, "Why are you still up so late? Is something the matter?"

"Because there's no comfortable pillow," Kobayashi muttered.

"What did you say?"

"nothing."

Xiaolin shook her head, then asked curiously, "What are you doing up so late?"

"Well..."

Aqua scratched her head and awkwardly gave up her seat.

Kobayashi then noticed a pile of fragments in front of her—fragments of the Supreme Throne—and asked curiously, "Why are you collecting these? Didn't you say they were inactive?"

“That’s right. But I’m thinking, could I use my divine power to revitalize them? Although I might not be able to make them as big as before, if I succeed, shrinking their size would be a viable option.”

Aqua offered an explanation.

Then she added, "Kobayashi, didn't you help me spread my faith and even establish a religious state? So I was thinking if I could do something for you too."

After saying that, she smiled broadly.

Aqua under the moonlight possessed an indescribable charm, and Kobayashi's heart skipped a beat.

He instinctively covered his chest.

What are you even interested in? She's Aqua!

Kobayashi kept scolding himself in his mind.

...Wait, is she trying to manipulate me? First, she deliberately does something wrong to annoy me, and then she helps me repair my mecha to win my favor...or something like that?

I turned to look at her silly expression.

Kobayashi clutched his chest again.

Impossible, absolutely impossible!

While others might employ a little bit of cunning, putting on an act to gain favor, Aqua would never do that.

She doesn't have that ability, you know that?

"Kobayashi, your face is so red, are you alright?"

"……fine."

Take a deep breath to soothe the burning sensation in your cheeks.

“Okay, I’ll help you,” Kobayashi said. “After all, it’s my mecha, and I also have an Imperial Arm that can enhance finger dexterity, so I should be able to help.”

"That's great!"

Aqua cheered.

Bathed in moonlight, their shadows appeared even longer and gradually merged together.

Chapter 100 was very moving.

[Title: It Has a Great Feel]

------

Although the High Throne was damaged, it can still be repaired.

"If we reduce the size and replace parts, we will have many more usable parts."

“Therefore, Aqua and I want to install these parts on Ryuu’s body. What do you think?”

Kobayashi and Aqua explained each other's points one by one.

After hearing this, Liu Zi paused slightly and asked in confusion, "Are you going to install the parts on my body?"

“That’s right, after all, this is good for you, Ryuu.” Seeing her resistance, Kobayashi explained, “You are now constructed from pure gears, so your body absolutely cannot withstand too much severe or violent damage.”

Unlike Imperial Arms, which can regenerate indefinitely as long as their core is not destroyed, Ryushi cannot be repaired once it is destroyed.

That's why he didn't dare bring Ryuzu with him when he fought Esdeath.

If it gets destroyed first by accident, Kobayashi will really be devastated.

"In addition, Ryuzu's [Imaginary Number Switch] puts a lot of strain on the gears. Without replacing the parts, I was thinking about whether I could use magic to reduce your burden. I'm sorry, it's all my fault for being so useless and for always forcing you."

At this point, Xiaolin felt quite embarrassed.

In that world, Liu Zi was the one who helped the most, and it was precisely because of his overpowered abilities that he was able to handle things so easily.

But a gear is still a gear. No matter how hard the material, it will inevitably wear down after use, especially since the [imaginary switch] is an incredibly precise gear.

"...I know that Lord Kobayashi is useless, so I need to strengthen my abilities, right?"

Liu Zi's words are always sharp and venomous.

Kobayashi clasped her hands together and pleaded, "Please don't be so blunt, please."

Seeing her master like this, Liu Zi had no reason to refuse.

"I understand, I agree."

"Liu Zi..."

Xiaolin thought that persuading her would take a lot of effort.

After all, Ryuu has always been proud of being an automaton created by [Y], and trying to modify her at will would definitely cause her to resent it... I didn't expect her to agree as soon as I asked.

"No matter what, Lord Kobayashi is doing this for my own good, isn't he?"

Liu Zi smiled slightly, saying something rather cold and cruel: "Moreover... useless automatons will be discarded, a fact that even a three-year-old knows."

"I would never do that!"

Kobayashi immediately retorted loudly.

Seeing Liu Zi's slightly stunned expression, he held her hands tightly and said, "No matter what happens, I will never abandon you. This is what I promised you when we made the contract."

"...Master Xiaolin."

Liu Zi turned her head away, not daring to look at Xiao Lin, but her bright red ears said it all.

"Are you two done talking? Can we start now?" Aqua's voice came from the side, annoyed. "What is this? It's not like we're facing life and death. Besides, even if I die, I can bring you back to life. Stop making it so sentimental."

They were so engrossed in their lovemaking that they didn't even realize there was another person present.

Kobayashi coughed lightly.

"...Ahem, let's begin."

After saying that, the three of them began to prepare.

“However, there’s one more thing to be careful about,” Aqua said seriously as she fiddled with the parts. “Be very careful not to touch anything strange.”

"...What are you talking about? I would never do such a thing."

"That's not what I meant!"

Aqua was so anxious she was jumping up and down.

Ryuu's body has too many intricate gears; the slightest mistake could trigger a chain reaction, causing her entire body to automatically collapse. Therefore, Kobayashi's "Divine Hand" is needed to perform the delicate operations.

"But the problem is, how to accurately place the magic circuits on every part of Ryuu's body without touching the intricate gears."

[Magic Circuit]

This is something taken from the High Throne, a channel through which magic can flow, hence it is called the Magic Circuit.

To fully activate it, it needs to be covered entirely, but the purple gears are arranged too densely and intricately to be fully visible.

"There's no need to be afraid of that, because I have this."

A green eye pattern appeared on Kobayashi's forehead as he said, "It's another Imperial Arm called [Five Visions], which allows it to see through any object... Hey, what's with that disgusted look? Let me make one thing clear beforehand, I absolutely did not use it to see through you!"

"No, that's not true. Even if you could see through things, I could only see a blurry mess." Aqua seemed very confident in herself.

"...Really, it's all pixelated."
