Chapter 742: Never Have Your Eyes Been So Clear
Having said that, arguing with this guy is just a waste of energy. It's time to persuade him to take a step back.
“…I say, Aqua.”
“Wuwuwu…what are you doing…?”
Aqua sobbed and glanced at Kobayashi. When she saw that he was no longer angry, she calmed down a little, but she still sobbed continuously, which gave her a headache.
"Did I say something a bit too much... maybe, probably, perhaps, almost?"
"Wow...Xiaolin, are you reflecting on yourself?"
"Just a little bit, just a little bit."
Kobayashi made a very offensive gesture, but this would not offend Aqua. She twitched her nose and whispered, "That's better. People always fail. I am broad-minded and will not blame you. But you must learn from your failures. Before you go to bed today, think about the things you have done to me that will be punished, and reflect on them a hundred times."
Don't be so arrogant, stupid goddess.
Xiaolin rolled his eyes in annoyance.
This guy would push his luck further at times like this, making him doubt whether his apology was necessary. If he had known earlier, he should have let her continue crying... Never mind, in the end, he would definitely be the one who was upset.
Gululu~~~
"Ah... I'm hungry..."
At this time, Aqua's stomach made a loud noise, and she looked a little listless, obviously she was starving. That's right, no wonder she came here to ask for food and drink, if she wasn't hungry, why would she come here to be scolded?
But after all this fuss, Xiaolin was actually a little hungry.
"Okay, just make something to eat."
"Okay! I want to eat fried frog meat! And I want to drink some bubbly...ah, no high-end stuff, just the regular cheap stuff will do."
Maybe because of what Kobayashi said, Aqua's demands immediately changed from savory food to cheap goods. I can't figure out where her boundaries are.
Although he really wanted to say something, considering that the stupid goddess had already given in enough, Kobayashi stopped scolding her.
Wait a moment.
Am I being manipulated by the window effect?
Xiao Lin pulled the corner of his mouth and said, "Of course you can, but you have to help too. You can't just sit back and enjoy the results."
"Hehehe, there's nothing I can do about it." Aqua said proudly, "Let me show you some of Aqua-sama's special fried frog meat with a crispy skin!"
"Yes, I'm looking forward to it."
Although the silly goddess doesn't have anything outstanding to offer in her ordinary work, her cooking skills are still worth looking forward to. Maybe you can even eat delicious food.
Happy times always pass quickly.
The leisurely vacation disappeared in the blink of an eye.
What awaits them next is an extremely painful time.
"Ah, this day has finally come." Aqua said with some fear: "If we leave now, we may never come back."
"Don't say such unlucky words. After all, we won't do anything too extreme during wilderness survival training..."
"Can you promise?"
"Don't dare."
Kobayashi covered his forehead in pain.
The results of the wilderness survival training at night some time ago were very poor, which made Darkness very angry. Later, she concluded that it was probably because camping at night was too difficult, so she suggested starting with the simpler daytime training.
It’s not a question of whether or not to refuse. Once Darkness has made a decision, there is no way to object.
Moreover, it is hard to say that Darkness does not do anything excessive now. After all, he is a pervert who is the reverse of the pure Duem. It is not impossible that he received Sparta's education from the beginning.
Starting to feel uneasy.
Aqua looked around and found that there was no one there. She asked curiously, "What is Huihui doing? If she's late, she'll definitely be scolded."
“Yeah, where’s Huihui?”
Kobayashi also didn't see Huihui, and just when he was about to look for her, Darkness had already arrived at the courtyard of the mansion and greeted everyone.
"It's almost time, is everyone here?"
“Ah, Darkness, that Megumin…”
“Here’s what Megumin said.”
Darkness grabbed the little girl from behind, and they saw her appear in front of everyone with a look of despair on her face. Her collar was grabbed by Darkness, and she looked like a helpless kitten who had no way to escape from the clutches of a bad guy.
Xiaolin couldn't help laughing.
“…By the way, why did Darkness grab you by the scruff of your neck?”
"You're obviously trying to escape. Humph, it's ridiculous to think you can fool me to that extent."
Darkness laughed contemptuously.
But she wasn’t angry, nor did she punish Huihui for this. I guess she was very satisfied with the hide-and-seek game just now, so she let Huihui go so easily. No, maybe she had already punished her.
Kobayashi looked at Huihui who was caught.
"You are so messy again..."
"I just wanted to release explosion magic..."
Huihui felt even more desperate.
Her expression seemed to say that this was a complete misunderstanding, that she had no intention of escaping, and that she was simply going to cast the explosion magic. But Xiaolin couldn't help but want to complain, how would she come back alone in this situation? However, considering that it might make Darkness angry and also offend Huihui, he couldn't help but keep silent.
Aqua tugged at his clothes and whispered, "I say, Xiaolin. I really don't want to go! Use your cleverness to think of a way to escape!"
There was obvious resistance and fear in her eyes. This guy had suffered a lot the last time she survived in the wild. Her physique that easily attracted monsters and undead made her a target in the dark.
All in all, that night was miserable.
"Don't call me clever, okay?" Xiao Lin rolled his eyes and said, "By the way, I never thought about escaping this training this time."
He did not hide his voice, but spoke it out loud, as if he meant it for Darkness to hear.
Darkness raised her eyebrows with an appreciative expression.
"Not bad, that's a good realization, Xiaolin."
"It's a great opportunity to train our ability to survive in the wild. I am very grateful to accept it."
"Haha, good boy. As a reward, I'll pat your head."
"Thank you!"
Kobayashi accepted Darkness's touch contentedly, like a puppy who was happy to be praised by his owner. It was hilarious to see him act so arrogant at first but respectful later.
Aqua and Huihui were both dumbfounded.
"How could it be...what's wrong with you, Xiaolin!"
“Xiaolin must have been trained physically and mentally by Darkness!”
Idiot, how is that possible?
Kobayashi rolled his eyes.
He did this for his next plan. These were all just illusions to confuse Darkness. After all, if he aroused Darkness' suspicion, it might have a counterproductive effect, so he pretended to be so obedient.
But this is the first time.
Pretending to be well-behaved is not Xiaolin's strong point. He decided that after Darkness turns back, he will definitely train her well.
Wait, isn't that rewarding her?
Damn it, no matter what, the perverted female knight wins, doesn't she?
Darkness was very satisfied with Xiaolin's enthusiasm. She didn't have any doubts. Of course, she wasn't worried about Xiaolin's contrast in this situation. She told everyone: "Then I will go check the necessary equipment for survival in the wild. You wait here first."
After saying that, he turned and left the mansion.
Aqua whispered to the little girl, "Meihui, look at Xiaolin's eyes. He's like a loyal dog watching his master leave."
“Really? People can make such a look.” Huihui looked at Xiaolin with a sad face.
The conversation between the two people, without paying attention to others, hurt Xiaolin's heart.
At this time, Darkness also disappeared, and Xiaolin finally didn't need to pretend anymore. He pointed at the two people and said, "Hey, over there. Stop talking nonsense."
“Then, what’s with your attitude just now? We can only assume that you’ve been completely disciplined.” Huihui looked at him in disbelief and uttered some confusing words.
"Loli, don't use words like 'training', it will make people think of bad things."
Xiaolin refuted vigorously.
“Who are you calling a loli?” Huihui retorted even louder, and at the same time, as if to protest, “I’m going to say it, I’m going to say it! Train, train, train, train, train, train————!”
“Wait, Huihui!” Aqua grabbed the quarreling little girls and said to them, “Now is not the time to do something like this. Take this opportunity to escape!”
"No, didn't I tell you I won't run away?"
Kobayashi flatly refused.
However, his attitude made the stupid goddess' face change. She subconsciously took a step back and covered her mouth. She looked at him in disbelief and said, "Sure enough, she has been trained..."
"I already said no!"
Kobayashi retorted again. He no longer had the energy to explain to the two people's wild thoughts. However, in order for them not to ruin the plan and for Darkness to successfully get out of this situation, he still needed their help, so he could only patiently explain.
"Actually, I have a way I'd like to try."
"What do you mean by method?"
Huihui felt strange.
Kobayashi took out a piece of clothing from behind him. It was a combination of black suspenders and leather pants. It looked very strange and was a strange outfit that would not exist in the other world.
“Remember this dress?”
"Of course."
Aqua said casually: "It's the clothes made of stone slabs, right? I remember the island country is called..."
"Bondage costumes."
"Bundle? What's that?"
Huihui was confused.
To be honest, this wasn't something a child should know, but Kobayashi knew that if he didn't tell Huihui, this guy would definitely keep clamoring to know, which might cause trouble, so he had to explain it.
"In my hometown, the clothes that Queen Dues wears are called bondage clothes."
"Ha... In Kobayashi's hometown, a queen wearing clothes like this rules the kingdom."
"Ah, no."
Seeing that Huihui had misunderstood, Kobayashi immediately explained: "She is not a real queen. She is the kind of queen who is arrogant and gives rough orders, and enjoys bullying others. In short, she compares people like Darkness to queens."
“Indeed, it feels very suitable for Darkness now.”
Huihui deeply agreed.
Normally Darkness is just an ordinary Darkness, but once her Dues switch is turned on, she will transform into a strict queen, making things difficult for them and even expecting their resistance.
“…Wait a minute, are you going to give this to Darkness?”
"What? Has he really been trained to be obedient?"
Aqua pouted in disgust.
What's even more outrageous is that this guy actually took two steps to the side, as if Xiaolin was some harmful germ.
This guy……
Hard, hard, fist hard.
"No, I have a plan."
"what's the plan?"
"That is……"
Before Xiaolin could finish his words, Darkness came back and looked at everyone with a smile on her face.
"We're ready, let's go."
"Oh, oh! I see!"
Tsk.
It was all because Aqua and Megumin kept talking nonsense to delay time, which prevented him from telling them his plan. But now was not the right time to explain, and it would be bad if Darkness became alert, so he whispered to them secretly.
“Listen carefully, both of you. Don’t tell Darkness about the clothes you just wore. This is crucial to our next plan.”
He deliberately made it sound serious so that Aqua and Huihui would take it seriously.
as predicted.
"You're trying to be clever again! I get it, and I'll help as much as I can!"
"Don't talk about being clever! Also, you'll definitely mess it up if you do anything, so don't do anything!"
"Why!?"
Aqua was very angry about being told that, and she pouted and turned her head away in dissatisfaction.
Xiao Lin said that it was serious because he hoped that the two of them would take it seriously, but he didn't hope that they could help him. After all, these two guys always did stupid things that were superfluous. So don't make trouble, just don't get in the way.
"Hey, what are you two whispering about? Come here quickly!"
"Yes, sorry!"
In the distance, Darkness was calling out to the two of them, and Krillin and Aqua immediately formed a united front after looking at each other.
So the cruel and rigorous training began.
“Ha…ha…ha…this is truly a disaster…”
Huihui was running in front, panting. What she was doing could no longer be called running, but rather moving.
“I’m going to be killed by Darkness…”
Aqua was also out of breath, and her condition was not much better than Huihui's.
It’s Xiaolin.
He followed the two of them calmly.
This simple level of physical training was no longer effective for him. To be honest, if it wasn't for the clothes experiment, he wouldn't want to suffer with Aqua and the others.
Survival in the wild is not difficult for him at all, okay?
"What are you talking about? That's really harsh. I'm doing this training for your own good!"
But Darkness never got tired of it, so Kobayashi had no choice but to accompany her.
