I love time travel the most!

The Crystal Deer can run at a speed of 90 km/h, comparable to a small car speeding on the highway, and it can run for several hours without getting tired.

"This is bad! This is bad! This is bad! I'm going to die! I'm going to die! I'm going

When their eyes met, Kazuma Sato knew he couldn't possibly outrun Crystal Deer. He never expected that his attempt to help would backfire and make things worse.

Kazuma Sato sprinted forward with all his might, even using basic wind magic to accelerate, his face flushed red as he exerted every ounce of strength he had.

But it still couldn't outrun the Crystal Deer.

As the antlers drew ever closer, Kazuma Sato felt his anus was in grave danger.

If we don't seek help soon, he'll probably be enjoying himself to the point of death!

In every sense!

"Where are my teammates? Where are my teammates? Help!"

Kazuma Sato shouted for help at the top of his lungs, and the scene became chaotic. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he was being scrambled for control of the Central Plains.

Kobayashi didn't hear it; he was focused on dealing with the combination of Darkness and Crystal Deer.

Sometime during that time, Darkness became an ally of the monsters, leaving him with no way to deal with her.

And Aqua couldn't help.

"There's no other way, I'll have to take action myself." Huihui flicked her cloak, her eyes turning a savage glint. "I, the strongest Explosion Mage, will help you!"

Then, she began chanting a spell.

"The docile elves surrounding me, the flesh and blood of the abyss roar wildly!"

Now, become part of the red wave!

Pierce it!

—Explosion!!!

boom!

Nuclear bombing!

The crystal deer chasing Kazuma Sato was instantly blasted into the sky, and Kazuma Sato, who was nearby, naturally could not escape the fate of being blown up as well.

They went to heaven together.

……

Afterwards, Kobayashi apologized to Kazuma Sato.

"I'm sorry, it was my oversight. I didn't realize there was another crystal deer."

"It's alright, it's alright, as long as the mission is accomplished."

Kazuma Sato, who was successfully revived by Aqua, waved his hand to indicate that he didn't care.

Although the result was somewhat disappointing, he still completed the task excellently and was quite proud of himself.

"Then please accept this."

"……dagger?"

Placed before him was the reward for this mission: the Shadow Dagger.

Kobayashi nodded and said, "I originally prepared this dagger for you because you've been working so hard lately, but now it feels like compensation. I'm sorry for my oversight."

"Senior Kobayashi..."

Even though he had accurately assessed the difference in strength between the two sides, Senior Kobayashi still took the blame upon himself.

Kazuma Sato was deeply moved.

If I were a girl, I would definitely marry him!

Meanwhile, Xiaolin on the other side unconsciously rubbed his arms, feeling an unsettling malice directed at him.

Chapter 29 More money is needed

I've seen super-intelligent robots before in my past life, but this is the first time I've seen a mechanical doll like Liu Zi, which is just an ordinary gear and can be indistinguishable from a real person.

Moreover, even if all the materials are available, it is impossible to reproduce without adjusting the neural circuits and the number of main cylinders, which is far beyond the production level of ordinary people!

"I really want to meet them."

Kobayashi sighed.

...Oh right, why don't we go again!

He may not be able to see the mysterious [Y], but he can communicate and learn from other high-level masters, and he can also search for some gears suitable for Liu Zi as preparation materials, which is a win-win situation.

Most importantly, Liu Zi probably wants to go back too, since it was my oversight that brought her to another world.

Not everyone can adapt to the unknown world.

Liu Zi is clearly more suited to living in a world based on original technology, not only because of the high-tech advantage it offers, but also because it can repair gears even if they malfunction.

In a different world like Pixel Haru, it would be quite difficult to fix her.

"No, I don't want to go back."

Liu Zi's answer was unexpected.

Kobayashi asked, puzzled, "Don't you want to go back to your own world and find your sisters?"

"No." Liu Zi shook her head decisively: "My primary task is to serve Lord Kobayashi. No matter which world we are in, no matter whether Lord Kobayashi can punish me or not, I will follow Lord Kobayashi."

Although it was programmed, the words it uttered were still very touching.

That's why Kobayashi can't be selfish.

"I've said it before, to become a master worthy of you, I definitely need to go to that world."

"...if you insist."

It just so happens that the team is preparing to rest during this period, so he took this opportunity to disappear for a while.

He held up the ring in his hand.

"—Time travel!"

……

However, nothing happened.

Xiaolin blinked, looking at the ring on her index finger that showed no reaction, wondering what was wrong.

Could it be that the way I time-traveled was wrong?

"Time travel! Time travel! Time travel!"

Kobayashi tried everything – taking off, crouching, even doing the JOJO pose – but the ring still didn't react at all.

"What is Lord Kobayashi doing? Is he performing some kind of novel dance? Although it's hilarious, it's surprisingly suitable for you," Ryuji said with a hint of sarcasm.

Kobayashi panicked. He discovered that not only could he not travel to the world of "Clockwork Planet," but he couldn't even travel to ordinary worlds anymore.

They rushed into the hall in a hurry.

"Aqua! Aqua!"

"What, what happened?!"

The silly goddess, who was secretly doing something, panicked and hid something behind her back after hearing Xiaolin call her name. Judging from the exposed edge, it should be a bottle of bubble wine.

He didn't have time to scold her for her useless life of drinking all day; he was more concerned about something else.

"Aqua, why can't I travel to Ryuu's world anymore?"

"...Hmm, it's probably because you didn't set the coordinates to create the channel."

"Aha?!"

"Look, there are countless unknown worlds in the entire starry sky. It is also unknown which world you will go to. To get there accurately, you need the precise coordinates of that world."

Just like making a phone call.

If you want to talk to your friends and family, you need to know their exact phone number; otherwise, you'll just call someone else.

"Why didn't you say so sooner?!...No, it's not all your fault."

Even if Aqua told him, he was almost hit by a container falling from the sky at the time, and in the panic, he couldn't have set the coordinates.

"What?! We can't have time-traveled?!"

"That's because there's no energy left."

"What did you say?"

"Traveling requires energy, isn't that normal? Don't you know the law of conservation of energy, Xiaolin? That's something we learned in middle school."

She said it as a matter of course.

But Kobayashi had only one thought in his mind.

—I was mocked!

I got mocked by a stupid goddess?!

"What did you say?! Say it again if you dare!"

Xiaolin rubbed her face hard, questioning her word by word.

It used a lot of force, and Aqua screamed in pain, begging for mercy repeatedly: "I was wrong, I was wrong, I was really wrong!!!"

But Kobayashi, enraged, didn't stop.

At the same time, he remembered that when he teamed up with Kazuma Sato, Aqua had said that she wanted to charge the ring. He thought she was just saying it on purpose to keep him, but he didn't expect that she would actually charge it!

Damn it, the more I think about it, the angrier I get!

We shouldn't have had any expectations of Aqua!

Having spent so much time together, and having had few opportunities to act foolishly lately, Xiaolin had gradually begun to overlook her. Was she actually waiting for him here?!

Kobayashi suppressed his anger.

No matter how angry you are, it won't change the fact that you can't travel through time.
