I like traveling the most

There are limits to working alone.

The loner sounds handsome and has a mysterious and comfortable style, but in fact there are many inconveniences.

He fully understands this.

It will be more reassuring if you have strong teammates by your side when doing tasks.

The reason why Xiaolin doesn't form a team is that ordinary teammates are really not good enough. Even if they reluctantly form a team, there is a high probability that they will not be a help.

Like Dust.

When I said in the tavern before: "Waiting for teammates is not just waiting to die", I wasn't being arrogant.

Although he is just a gangster who likes to drink without paying bills, as a dragon knight with a mysterious past, Dast is also one of the top people in the first echelon among Axel, who has many masters.

Even Xiao Lin received his careful teaching when he first came to the other world.

The huge difference in strength made him deeply understand that even if the two were of the same level, he would have no chance of winning. This was not something he could compare to when he lived in a comfortable era.

After such a strong person teamed up with Taylor, Lynn, and Keith, he sealed most of his strength in order to cooperate with the team, and only did some low-level adventurer tasks.

...Although there are also Daxter who doesn’t want to live too hard and a certain princess who has unreasonable demands.

Numerous experiences of our predecessors tell us.

If you want to reach a higher level and defeat stronger enemies, powerful assistance is essential.

To sum up, if there are suitable teammates, Xiaolin will still agree to form a team.

After all, he doesn't have the so-called blood sorrow.

Although Aqua and others are unreliable and they are still novices, their potential is enough for Xiaolin to patiently teach and train them.

Looking at the four people sitting in the seats, including himself, they were the prototype of the team.

As the team leader, Xiaolin said that he should say something.

Building relationships starts with business exchanges.

"Ahem, Huihui, although you may not remember it, we actually had a brief contact."

"Hey, have you ever?"

Megumin scratched her head and seemed unable to remember.

Xiao Lin reminded: "At night half a month ago, in the small woods to the east..."

"Ah! It's the devil!"

Megumin shouted, seeming to remember something: "You are the one who shot cold arrows in the dark to interrupt its magic!"

"That's right. Xiao Lin nodded.

Half a month ago, a mid-level demon named Host appeared in Axel.

It's here to steal Wolbach's half.

During this period, the crusade went smoothly, but when the result was about to be successful, the victory failed due to the inherently deceptive nature of the products sold by Wiz.

At the critical moment, Kobayashi fired an arrow to interrupt its escape route, and then Megumin, who rushed in, released explosive magic to successfully defeat it.

"Your magic is very powerful. In terms of explosion magic, I would call you the strongest."

Xiaolin gave Huihui high recognition.

Megumin puffed up her flat chest, held her head high and said proudly: "No matter what! I am the one who will eventually master the explosive magic. My explosive magic will turn the mere devil into ashes in an instant!"

"Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh!" X3

Warm applause immediately broke out.

I have to say that Hui Hui is very successful in pretending to be B.

People who don't know the truth will definitely think that the little loli with black hair and red eyes in front of them is super tall.

Even Sato Kazuma secretly thought that he would have to curry favor with her in the future.

Then, Xiaolin looked at Darkness again.

The blond female knight who is not stupid looks like a cold and arrogant iceberg beauty, which is really impressive.

Of course, the stupid female knight adds more XP.

Xiaolin's eyes were a little rude, but Daknis thought it was great and even enjoyed it a little.

"What, what's wrong?"

"nothing."

Xiaolin paused and said, "Darkness, actually I heard about you...from a silver-haired thief."

"Is it Chris?"

"That's right."

That was when Xiaolin came to the lower world for a week.

Having just upgraded, he was in urgent need of some practical skills that cost less points, so he approached Chris, who happened to come to the guild for a drink.

Thanks to the help of the kind-hearted Lady Luck, Xiaolin learned many useful skills for thieves.

He also asked Chris to form a team, but unfortunately she refused due to her own inconvenience. ♦♦  ♦♦

Xiaolin knew that she would often go to other towns to collect artifacts distributed by Aqua that would bring great trouble to the world, so she was not discouraged after being rejected.

However, Chris recommended Darkness to him, but at that time Xiaolin refused due to some reasons.

The matter of team formation was over.

"She said that you are pure, kind, and gentle. You are a qualified Cross Knight, and your physical strength is very high, comparable to the hardest Adamantite. In terms of defense alone, you are probably the best in the world. Although... maybe... A little bit of a character flaw.”

Xiao Lin also gave her high recognition.

"Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh!" X3

The other three people looked at Darkness with sparkling eyes, exclaiming in surprise and clapping their hands.

Who doesn't want a solid and reliable knight standing in front of him?

"How, how could it be... that's too exaggerated."

Darkness blushed brightly.

I don’t know whether it’s because I feel shy about being praised, or because I feel excited about being told that my body is harder than rock.

"No, I think she's telling the truth."

"That's right, Darkness, you should stand up like me!"

Megumin is very optimistic about the female knight: "You and I are a perfect combination!"

"Hmm, um...hehehehe..."

Darkness giggled with her cheeks slightly red.

Well, it seems like it worked for her.

Kobayashi looked at Sato Kazuma again.

"Sato-kun is the same as me. Although we have only been together for a short time, I know that you are a reliable companion. I can predict that your sudden cleverness will bring surprises to us, and I have even begun to look forward to it. Even if it is just It doesn’t matter if you are an ordinary adventurer, I think you have the potential to become a strong person, and I firmly believe that you will be so.”

He was praised more than the other two.

"Oh, I'm so embarrassed to say it."

Sato wiped the tip of his nose with his index finger. Although he said he was shy, the raised corners of his mouth showed that he was in a happy mood.

Sure enough, it was right to try hard to keep Kobayashi-senpai.

He is handsome and speaks nicely, and he likes it very much.

As for the retarded goddess...

"Aqua is an indispensable presence in the team. I can only say that she understands everything."

"...That's it?!"

Others praised them a lot and spoke highly of them, but when it came to me, I understood everything...

It’s too perfunctory!

Aqua lay on Xiaolin's back: "Hey, say a little more! It doesn't matter if you praise me a little more, I am a goddess after all!"

"Okay, that's it for now. Although we all have different interests and hobbies, we still hope we can seek common ground while reserving differences."

"Now, please."

"If you have any requests, you can put them forward now and I will try my best to meet them."

"Na na na, just say it."

Aqua kept chirping in her ears, but Xiaolin selectively ignored it, allowing the team members to speak enthusiastically.

Megumin raised her right hand and said, "I want to release explosive magic every day."

"no."

"...Eh?"

The refusal was so straightforward that she didn't even react.

"Your explosion magic is so powerful that it often affects towns. The forest in the west has been blown up by you and needs to be re-greened. And you are the one who caused the huge riots some time ago, right? You are the chuunibyou explosion demon with a brain problem. tutor?"

"But, if I don't release the explosion magic, I will die due to the overflow of magic power."

"Then die."

Xiaolin's answer was so callous.

Then came Darkness: "I want to raise a tentacle monster!"

"no."

"Well..."

"Monsters can cause riots in towns, and there are mostly women in the team. Their feelings need to be taken care of... Don't think you don't need to be punched because you are a woman. Sometimes punches are so unreasonable."

"Rejected, s--ha-- s--ha--awesome!"

Logically speaking, she should be as sad as Megumin when her request was rejected, but she was flushed and panting, looking like she was enjoying herself.

"Now, I think..."

"no!"

"I haven't even finished speaking!"

Xiaolin decisively refused before Aqua could finish her words. Although he didn't know what she was going to say, it was definitely not a good thing.

Megumin: "I want to defeat the one-shot bear."

"no."

Darkness: "I want to raise a mimetic vine"

"no."

Aqua: "Hey, I think..."

"no."

"I haven't even finished speaking!"

After that, they made many requests.

For example, doing difficult tasks, raising some monsters, or holding a high-profile party, etc., but no matter what the request is, it will be rejected outright.

At this point, everyone finally realized something was wrong.

Xiao Lin, who was sitting on the main seat, was like a cold tyrant sitting on the throne and not allowing others to refute him. He exuded a terrifying low pressure that made the air freeze.

The sharp eyes emitted a terrifying light that was scarleter than Megumin's, scanning the people sitting below, as if looking at a group of noisy traitors.

"Who else————!!!"

"…………"X4

The four of them were silent for a moment.

Completely different from the gentleness just now!

Kazuma Sato couldn't help but shudder as he recalled the fear of being dominated by his ruthless mother.

As for democracy, where is the promised democracy?

Democracy means that these people want to be dominated by the ruthless tyrant Xiao Lin, right?

"Oh, democracy."

"Sato-kun, did you just say something?"

"No, no, I didn't say anything!"

Sato Kazuma quickly lowered his head and shook his head in fear, not daring to look into Kobayashi's scarlet eyes.

Being aware of current affairs is also one of his great strengths.

After a while, there were no more discordant sounds in the team, and the atmosphere that had just been stirred up was instantly extinguished, and the laughter and laughter just now seemed like an illusion.

At this point, everyone's opinions were (forced to) unified.

Sato Kazuma felt bitter, is such a team really okay?

He expressed concern about the team's prospects.

However, he will soon understand that only senior Xiao Lin is the most trustworthy in this team, and he will soon understand Xiao Lin's good intentions in doing this.

"Now that we have formed a team, let's do the mission. In order to clearly understand the strength of the team members and prevent them from being in a hurry during the battle."

"Oh, oh~~~~" X4

I feel like the four of them are not too enthusiastic.

Well, it must be an illusion, you see they are all trembling with joy.
