I love time travel the most!

Kobayashi called out to Darkness and Megumin, who were panting and covered in sweat, "Take a break first, we'll tidy up together later."

With a way out, the two women had no objections.

The six people sat at the large table in the hall, which served as a place for eating, meetings, and resting. If Xiaolin had to choose a satisfactory place in the base, this would be the only one.

Everyone took their seats.

Liu Zi naturally slipped into the kitchen to prepare steaming hot tea for everyone, and after going around the kitchen, she naturally sat down next to Xiao Lin.

Huihui blinked, pointed at Liu Zi and said, "I've wanted to ask this ever since, who is she, and why is she at the base?"

Although Darkness didn't ask, the inquiry in her eyes showed that she was also very curious.

"I was just about to introduce it to you."

Kobayashi introduced the two women: "Her name is Ryuu, she is my waitress, and she will be joining the team starting today."

"waiter?"

"Meaning: maid."

"Oh I got it."

After Huihui and Darkness got their answers, they stopped asking questions and didn't seem very interested.

Kobayashi found it strange.

"Aren't you going to ask her any more questions? It's alright, you can ask as many questions as you like."

"There's no need. I trust your decision."

"We both have our own problems, so what right do we have to judge others?"

Huihui chose to believe Xiaolin, and Darkness placed himself in a very humble position.

...I didn't expect that the two of them were so self-aware.

Kazuma Sato didn't say anything, but his eyes conveyed the same meaning.

However, to avoid causing them any resentment, Kobayashi still said, "Ryuu is very strong. Currently, she is the strongest in our team overall."

"Oh? Even stronger than Huihui?"

"Listen carefully, I'm talking about overall strength."

Megumin and Darkness have different focuses and their own strengths; one has high attack power, and the other has strong defense.

Liu Zi can be seen as being fast.

The effect of the Imaginary Motion Mechanism is to accelerate oneself to a level that is almost like time standing still. However, the drawback is that it will not stop until the mainspring energy is exhausted, and after it stops, it needs to be wound up again to start it up again.

"However, it cannot be shown now. It needs to be shown during the battle... Well, it can be shown in three days from the Cabbage Battle."

"Oh, it's this time of year already?"

"Looks like we can have some good things to look forward to."

Suddenly, everyone became very excited.

"The Cabbage Battle, what's that?" Kazuma Sato felt himself drifting out of the conversation.

It's normal that he's a newcomer from another world and doesn't know about this festival.

"Let me tell you..."

Everyone chimed in, offering their own explanations.

Simply put, mature cabbages fly over Axel.

Because of their rich and sweet taste, each one costs as much as 1 Eris, and many adventurers are preparing to make a fortune on that day.

Of course, Kobayashi was no exception.

If you're looking to get seed money, cabbage harvest day is the best opportunity.

Hearing everyone's explanation, Kazuma Sato also became excited.

Xiao Lin said, "Don't rush, we still have to wait three more days."

"Oh, oh." Sato and Mashiro were overjoyed.

After everyone calmed down, Kobayashi said to Darkness and Megumin, "Although it's a bit late, I still want to say thank you both for tidying up the messy room."

Huihui: "Hmph, if you want to thank me, treat me to a deluxe meal."

Darkness: "N-nothing, I just had nothing to do."

With a completely different response, Kobayashi agreed to Huihui's request.

"Alright, just a little more, let's do it together."

"Oh!" X4

The team members were in high spirits.

Liu Zi walked over and said softly, "Lord Kobayashi, let me take care of the rest. I can get it done in a flash. Of course, I also ask that Lord Kobayashi give me a good compliment."

"No, no need, but if you want to help, you can come along." Kobayashi shook his head and refused.

Liu Zi asked in confusion, "Why? It can be sorted out in an instant using the gear's ability, without any effort from you guys."

"Hmm...how should I put it?"

Kobayashi pondered how to explain, and after a moment's thought, said, "Rather than having a servant do it, I'd rather tidy up myself. It's not just about tidying up the room; it's more about enjoying the process and creating shared memories."

"...Humans are really strange."

"Right? Humans are a group of creatures with complex emotions."

Liu Zi seems to have her own way of thinking about how to get along with others, but her perception of human emotions is still somewhat weak. It seems that she needs to experience more of the subtle human emotions in order to understand them.

The room was tidied up in no time, but now a serious problem was facing everyone.

—We don't have enough rooms!

Although the warehouse is large, there aren't that many rooms because no one was expected to join the team, which is why there are no rooms for Liu Zi now.

The group looked at each other, unsure of what to do.

Chapter 16 Secrets of the Night

"What if there's no room for Liu Zi?"

Aqua posed the question first.

This silly goddess is always very perceptive about strange questions, and she often blurts them out without any sense of tact or discretion.

Liu Zi tilted her head slightly and said softly, "It doesn't matter if there's no room. I don't need to sleep like humans, which are inferior creatures. I can just wait in the living room to serve you gentlemen."

She is a mechanical doll and does not need to sleep.

But to others, Ryuu-shi wanted to live in the spacious hall.

"What a stupid thing to say!"

Huihui slammed her hand on the table and stood up: "How can a person not sleep? Besides, there's no sofa in the living room for you to lie down on. Are you going to sleep on the cold floor?"

It's early spring now, and the nights are still quite cool. Common sense dictates that no one would lie on the floor.

She was unaware that Liu Zi was a mechanical doll.

Just as Kobayashi was about to explain, Megumin said again, "Our team won't let you suffer. Even if you're a robot, you still have your own room!"

Well, it's no use explaining now.

Darkness conceded: "How about I stay with Huihui? With our sizes, we should be able to squeeze into one bed without any problem."

Huihui felt humiliated: "What do you mean? Are you saying I'm small? Are you saying I'm a flat board with no curves?!"

"No, that's not what I meant."

Darkness waved his hand in explanation, then added, "No, I'll just sleep on the floor of the room then. That way I can experience the feeling of the cold slowly seeping into my body at night... Hiss—ha—hiss—ha—"

Doesn't that make them truly professional knights?

She's always like that; she's always the first to make a sacrifice, which is very touching.

...although in most cases it was because of her strange fetish that she did it on purpose.

Aqua raised her hand and said loudly, "I can sleep with Megumin! Since she doesn't want to share a bed with Darkness, I'll make a small sacrifice. Remember to believe in me and be grateful to me from now on!"

"Huh?! Aqua, what do you mean?" Megumin glared at her angrily.

"Why are you angry?" Aqua asked, puzzled.

Judging from her silly look, this idiot goddess completely missed the point.

"I have absolutely no idea what you guys are arguing about."

Kazuma Sato fiddled with his fingernails and said with his head down, "Since it was Kobayashi-senpai who brought them, it's natural for him to make the arrangements. Whether they stay at a hotel, in the lobby, or with someone else, it's up to Kobayashi-senpai to decide."

"Right, why should we be in such a hurry?"

Huihui, having figured things out, sat down.

While no one else was looking, Kazuma Sato grinned smugly, then secretly gave Kobayashi a thumbs-up, as if to say that he was the best teammate.

This guy is definitely here to cause trouble.

It's obviously impossible to let Ryuu stay in a hotel, and it's also unfair to make others squeeze into one bed.

After thinking it over, I decided that sharing a room with Kobayashi was the only option.

Kazuma Sato must have thought of this, which is why he deliberately let Kobayashi make the decision.

But he seemed to have forgotten that a master and a maid living together would surely lead to misunderstandings and speculations about intimate events taking place at night.

You can tell by seeing Darkness's face turn red with excitement and him entering a delusional state.

"Master Xiaolin..."

Seeing Liu Zi's expectant eyes, Xiao Lin couldn't bring himself to refuse. After a long silence, he said, "Since Liu Zi is my servant, she will naturally share a room with me."

"Look, the matter has been perfectly resolved."

"But a man and a woman live together..."
