Chapter 998 The Last Routine 177
Xiaolin swallowed hard; he was really looking forward to it.
Seeing him like this, Ruanhu said with some excitement, "We really can't just leave Xiaolin like this. I should say we want to take care of you..."
“That’s right, that’s right! It’s so cute I want to use it as a body pillow.” Dongdonggu snuggled up to him again and whispered in his ear, “I’m telling you, Xiaolin, you should go on a date with me. Look, I’ll make you anything, whether it’s a lap pillow or something else.”
Oh no, I'm getting hooked!
Xiaolin subconsciously leaned towards Dongdonggu, who was pulling him slightly, but at that moment, his arm was pulled in another direction.
"Needless to say, Kobayashi will go on a date with me, right?" She wrapped her soft arm around his and said decisively, "I have to take care of him!"
Isn't this amazing!
"No, no, no, you'll choose me, right, Kobayashi?"
"I was the first person Kobayashi met! I said, Kobayashi will choose me, right?"
You Gou and Hui Hui also joined the battle.
They surrounded him from the front and the back.
Looking at the Crimson Demon girls surrounding him from four directions, Kobayashi, though clearly enjoying herself, said with a strange expression, "There's no way to choose the best one. To me, you're all number one...!"
"Xiao Lin!" X4
Hearing him say those words, Huihui, Yougouhui, Ruanhuhu, and Dongdonggu all looked at him with deep emotion. Their moist eyes were filled with satisfaction and gratitude.
Kobayashi couldn't help but shout in her heart: Long live the harem!! Let me enjoy this dream to the fullest!!
Then, under the guise of a date, Kobayashi took Megumin and the others along to do a mission.
Although she really wanted to get straight to the point, she wondered if her approach was too subtle and might offend the other girls, so she decided to proceed cautiously. Not only that, but she also found it quite enjoyable to receive their attention.
"Light of Saber!!"X３
As the Crimson Demons continued to use magic to clear away the gathered monsters, Kobayashi couldn't help but sigh and say, "As expected of the Crimson Demons, the mission can be solved so easily with this."
"Ah, just leave it to me. No matter what kind of monster it is, I'm confident I can easily defeat it. Kobayashi, just follow behind me!" You said this with great confidence.
Soft and fluffy said with a smile, "Just watch my amazing performance, Kobayashi!"
"Don't look away!" Dongdonggu said as well.
The three of them are really full of energy.
"Oh, good luck!" Kobayashi smiled and gave the three of them a thumbs up to encourage them. Then, noticing the resentful look on Megumin's face, she asked in confusion, "What's wrong, Megumin? You look unhappy, like something's wrong."
His voice was very soft, as if he didn't want to upset Huihui.
“No.” Megumin shook her head and said, “Explosion magic is definitely the best…!”
"This hasn't changed even in dreams?!"
Xiaolin couldn't help but complain loudly.
Huihui seemed not to hear her, and lowered her head somewhat dejectedly, saying, "However, if we could use higher-level magic, I think it might be able to help Xiaolin even more."
"What? Such a thing?" Kobayashi said, sounding somewhat relaxed.
"Ah, this kind of thing...!" Huihui said loudly, somewhat angrily and excitedly, seeing his dismissive attitude, "I'm seriously considering it!"
"Isn't it great, Huihui?"
Kobayashi said this as if to comfort her.
"Am I really okay...?"
"Ah, of course." Kobayashi took the girl's hand, looked intently into her eyes, and said with deep affection, "It's because you're by my side that I've been able to keep going."
"Kobayashi... thank you!"
Huihui was so moved that she threw herself into his arms.
Kobayashi was already quite adept at this kind of behavior, readily acquiring favor, so it was a piece of cake for him... Wait a minute. This must be a dream, right? Knowing the reality, Kobayashi naturally understood that Megumin wouldn't give up Explosion Magic and turn to learning advanced magic just because she helped him. But since it was a dream, what was wrong with letting Megumin change too? For a moment, Kobayashi regretted missing such a good opportunity.
The soft, fluffy creature called out loudly to the two people gazing deeply into each other's eyes, "Hey, Kobayashi! Megumin! The monster extermination is over!"
"Perfect! This is a rare opportunity. Why not take a trip back to the Crimson Devil Village?" Dongdonggu suggested.
Hearing her words, Yougou nodded in agreement and said, "That's a great idea. The clan chief and the others will be happy too. Let's go back to the village."
Hearing her say that, Kobayashi also felt that going to the Scarlet Devil Village might be very interesting, and he was also very interested in what the Scarlet Devil Village would be like in a dream.
After using the teleportation magic they were skilled at, Kobayashi and the others arrived at the Crimson Demon Village, where they were greeted by Yuuyu's clan chief father.
"It's really me! It's been a long time since I've been waiting for you, Lord Kobayashi!"
He was incredibly enthusiastic and respectful, making people feel somewhat uncomfortable. And it wasn't just the Crimson Demon Clan leader; the other Crimson Demons were the same. The Crimson Demon girls, in particular, treated Kobayashi like an idol, screaming and shouting, "Ah, it's Lord Kobayashi!! Lord Kobayashi is here! Lord Kobayashi is here!!"
Spreading the word is a real pleasure.
Starting with this, many Crimson Demons gathered around, and everyone cheered as if they were welcoming some important figure.
Kobayashi couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth and said, "What an impressive welcome..."
"That's right, that's right." The Crimson Demon Clan Chief said with an extremely obsequious smile, "Lord Kobayashi is a great hero who rescued Crimson Demon Village from Jizo's clutches! In any case, the prosperity of this village is entirely due to your efforts! Therefore, please accept our good intentions!"
"Well... it's not that exaggerated... is it?"
Kobayashi was slightly taken aback. The last words of the Crimson Demon Clan Chief were somewhat dumbfounded. After all, when dealing with Jizo, it was Megumin and Aqua who contributed the most, while he himself had only been following along in the role-playing game and hadn't done anything.
Just then, a Crimson Demon girl carrying a large amount of food came over and warmly welcomed him, saying, "Lord Kobayashi, please have a meal! Enjoy as much as you like!"
"Have you decided on where you'll stay tonight? If you'd like, we'd love to offer you the highest level of hospitality!" said another female Red Demon, trying to persuade Kobayashi to stay at her house for the night.
The Crimson Demon Clan Chieftain, as if struck by a revelation, exclaimed, "That's right! As a token of my gratitude, please marry my daughter. If it's you, you can entrust her to me with peace of mind!"
"Mr. Kobayashi, I am a humble woman and would appreciate your guidance." Youyou inexplicably uttered such words, and the chaotic scene made Kobayashi feel completely unfamiliar with her.
Not only him, but even Huihui reacted the same way. She shouted in a fit of anger, "What are you saying, Huihui! I'm the one who spends the most time with Kobayashi! So, it should be my turn!"
"We live with Kobayashi too, will you let us be your wives?"
"Please, we want to be with Kobayashi too."
Soft and fluffy, and Dongdonggu, actually said such things. Seeing the group arguing, he chuckled and said, "You've made us so fascinated... What a sinful man, Kobayashi. But you have to let me have some too."
"Ah," Kobayashi said with a smug smile, "Being a popular man is really tough... Of course, you can only marry a maximum of ten."
He said this with such a shameless tone.
Then, the dream continued, and Xiaolin and the other six girls lived happily in a mansion.
"Mr. Kobayashi, your shoulders are so stiff, hehe, hehe... does it feel good?"
"Ah, that's perfect pressure on my back, it's wonderful! If you can, a little harder—"
Kobayashi smiled smugly.
"Wait a minute!" The soft, fluffy thing pouted and complained, "Youyou keeps pressing the buttons, she's so cunning!"
"That's right, that's right, we should also massage Kobayashi's back!"
Winter mushrooms followed closely behind.
Yougou also came up and said, "Hehe, I didn't expect you to be able to win over the people around you like this. Of course, I am also one of the resurrected people."
"Everyone's clinging to Kobayashi too much, Kobayashi is mine!!" Huihui shouted, puffing out her cheeks.
Seeing the girls fighting over her, Xiaolin felt she had to do something, so she said, "Hey, don't pull me like that, I'm not going anywhere—"
However, the girls showed no sign of stopping, continuing to pull and tug at him. This frustrated Xiaolin, who said, "Wait, don't pull so hard, I really won't go—"
"...Xiao Lin...!"
"Shaking like that will make you dizzy..."
"Kobayashi, wake up!! I'm telling you, Kobayashi, it's already morning. It's about time you got up! Honestly, how long are you going to sleep in—"
Amidst Huihui's complaints, Kobayashi slowly opened his eyes, but instead of getting up, he looked at the little girl beside him and said in a rather embarrassing way, "Good morning, Huihui. Aren't you ready for a kiss when you wake up?"
"How disgusting!!!"
Suddenly being scolded left Kobayashi momentarily dumbfounded as she stared at the agitated Huihui, who took several steps back to the doorway and demanded, "What's wrong all of a sudden? Have you finally turned into a pervert?!"
As she spoke, she made a running away gesture.
As Kobayashi tried to stop him, he suddenly fell to the ground. He slowly got up, rubbing the back of his head, and said through gritted teeth, "Ouch, ouch, ouch... It hurts even when I touch the pillow. So, is this reality?"
"Stop talking nonsense." Huihui rolled her eyes and said, "Alright, get up quickly, everyone is ready!"
"Prepare?"
Kobayashi looked at her strangely, and then, urged by Megumin, finally finished preparing and came to the living room, where he found Aqua and Darkness already waiting.
"Hey Kobayashi, when are you going to stop sleeping? We're all ready!"
Aqua started complaining as soon as they met.
She looks so much like her.
Darkness greeted him, saying, "Good morning, Kobayashi. You should hurry up and pack your things, we should... Why do you look so disappointed?"
"No, I was just thinking that reality is definitely not the same as a dream." Kobayashi sighed softly, looking at his companions whose attitude towards him was completely different from that in the dream, and felt a little regretful. But more than that, he was puzzled and couldn't help but ask, "By the way, why do we suddenly have to go to the Crimson Demon Village? The Crimson Demons should all have returned to normal by now, right?"
"This is a big deal," Huihui said somewhat anxiously. "I want to go back to the village to check if everyone is safe."
She seemed very worried about her parents and younger sister, Xiaomi. Indeed, when the Crimson Demon Village was affected, her parents were the first to have their personalities altered, and Xiaomi also became a different person afterward.
"Didn't I tell you that at dinner last night? Didn't you hear me?"
"You've forgotten, haven't you?"
Darkness and Aqua said so.
Kobayashi thought about it carefully and said, "Come to think of it, I do think I said something like that..." After all, at that time, he was so preoccupied with the shop that he didn't pay any attention.
Aqua, as if she could see right through him, said with a hint of sarcasm, "Back then, Kobayashi was smiling lecherously. Anyway, he was probably thinking about something indecent, wasn't he?"
"N-I didn't even think about it!" Kobayashi quickly denied after Aqua said that, then changed the subject, saying, "Speaking of which, the Scarlet Devil Village..."
He couldn't help but wonder: Could the dream he just had have inadvertently come true? Kobayashi knew, of course, that it was largely wishful thinking, but what if it were real? He couldn't help but investigate.
"Okay! If you've decided, let's go!" Kobayashi urged the others on.
Aqua looked at him strangely and asked, "You seem to be in a better mood all of a sudden. What's wrong? Why are you smiling like that?"
"It's nothing, just a sweet dream I had for the first time in a long time."
Kobayashi said this with a smile.
Then--
"My name is You Gou Hui! The Crimson Demon Clan's unparalleled talent will one day make me a writer!"
"My name is Softie! I am the foremost brother-loving member of the Crimson Demon Clan, and am known as the brother-complex person!"
"My name is Dongdonggu! The top... the top... what was it again?" of the Crimson Demon Clan.
Yes, the same as always.
Xiaolin's dream was shattered. He couldn't help but sigh, "A dream is just a dream after all. How could something so wonderful in a dream possibly happen in reality?"
He should have known about this from the very beginning.
