I like crossing the most

Chapter 1048 The Last Routine 227
After hurriedly taking the magic item from Wiz, Kobayashi and the others returned to the amusement park and used it on the night of the performance.

"Everyone, look this way!!"

On stage, Cecily was shouting loudly at the passing tourists, and the other tourists were also attracted and looked over unconsciously.

"What? What's wrong?... Hmm?" The guests were slightly taken aback when they saw the three people on the stage. "Isn't this Axel's Angels team?"

Speaking of which, Cecily and her group once created something called the Angels. Although they did help the residents of Axel, it was later discovered that Cecily was the one who caused all the trouble. In the end, she was arrested and it took a lot of effort to get her released.

"Want to get to know me?" she shouted, raising her arms and beaming with a joyful smile. "Cecily, I'm Cecily!"

"Cold on the outside, fiery on the inside! Take a breather while watching the Crimson Demon Clan's performance...!" Youyou also introduced herself, thankfully she was already used to the Crimson Demon Clan's chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) to be able to shout it out smoothly.

"The cutest collection in the world!" Lynn shouted, quickly following suit. "I'm Lynn, who's 100% cute!"

"The three of them together are the Axel Angels!" x3
Then they struck a slightly exaggerated yet incredibly cute pose, much to the excitement and interest of the audience. At this point, Cecily seized the opportunity, saying, "After this, we'll be having a nighttime performance of 'Axel Angels' on the stage in the center of the park. Please come and watch if you can! And this time, she'll be wearing these swimsuits! Don't faint at the sight of the adorable Cecily!"

As Cecily said this with feigned coquettishness, Lynn and Youyou continued handing out flyers, trying to get them into the hands of every tourist. Come to think of it, these guys are really fearless; even though the performance is supposed to be by Axis cultists, they still seem determined to participate.

"I got a flyer!" one of the tourists shouted excitedly, waving the flyer around. "That's why I came here! I'll definitely go see it! Miss Youyou, if you'd like, please shake my hand—"

"No, don't come any closer...!" Youyou seemed startled by the guest who suddenly rushed over, and involuntarily slapped him into the pool. Then she hurriedly shouted, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry!!"

"Wow!" Lynn exclaimed, a smile playing on her lips as she watched the enthusiastic guests. "The guests seem really excited for our performance. We'll do our best!"

"But Xiaolin and the others haven't come back yet." Youyou looked worriedly towards the amusement park entrance and whispered, "If they don't come back soon, they'll miss the show—"

"Here it comes, here it comes!!!" Just as they were exclaiming, Kobayashi came running back in a flurry of activity, "Ha...ha...I finally made it."

"Ah, Mr. Kobayashi!" Cecily exclaimed excitedly upon seeing him return.

"Sorry to keep you waiting!" Kobayashi pulled a magical prop from his pocket as if by magic, then gestured to them and said, "I've got the lighting props! Get ready, let's put on a good show tonight!"

"Oh oh oh!!" x3
The three of them seemed very enthusiastic. So Kobayashi quickly set up the magic lighting equipment on the stage to ensure they were illuminated so the guests could enjoy the performance.

"Alright, now the performance is all ready." Kobayashi wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked at the brightly lit stage with a sigh. "The borrowed magic props are all working perfectly, and the rehearsal was flawless!"

"Thanks to Cecily and the others for their promotion, there seem to be a lot more guests in the park," Darkness said with a sigh. "It's all thanks to them."

“Of course, Miss Darkness~” Cecily said, raising her head slightly with a hint of pride. “Everyone says they’re really looking forward to the Axel Angels’ nighttime performance.”

"Next, we just need to make the actual performance a success. Please, Axel Angels!" Kobayashi cheered them on, hoping they could liven up the amusement park and make it a hit, so that the tickets could be sold smoothly.

At that moment, the amusement park manager came over. Seeing the bustling crowd of customers, he said excitedly and happily, "Oh my, this is really amazing, Mr. Kobayashi! Thank you! Thanks to you, the number of visitors to the park has skyrocketed!"

"Hmph, didn't I tell you?" Kobayashi tossed his hair and said smugly, "Leave it to me."

"As expected of Mr. Kobayashi, Axel's most trusted man, the payment is ready." The manager leaned closer, a sly look on his face, and whispered in his ear.

Kobayashi leaned in and whispered to him, "You haven't forgotten that, have you? Having fun with those swimsuit-clad beauties—"

"Whew, we haven't overlooked anything in this aspect either."

"Hmm...I'm really looking forward to it. Hehe, hehehe..."

The two men laughed sinisterly, their lust blatantly undisguised, causing many who saw their expressions to give them a wide berth, wondering if something bad was about to happen. However, those people were overthinking it; Xiao Lin had no intention of profiting from them; other things awaited him.

Then, the Axel Angels' nighttime performance finally began—

"Thank you all for coming today!" Cecily shone brightly on stage, waving her arms to greet the audience and shouting, "Everyone, please enjoy our Axel Angels' nighttime performance!"

"It's a little embarrassing to perform in a swimsuit..." Youyou tugged at her slightly revealing swimsuit, but she clenched her fists and said with a determined look, "But I will try my best!"

"Well, here comes the first song~!" Lynn gave the final opening remarks, and then the three of them sang and danced on stage, eliciting gasps from the audience and completely captivating them. Seeing the lively scene below the stage, Xiaolin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Wow, it's great that it started so smoothly. The plan to make the water park lively feels like a huge success."

“That’s right.” Huihui nodded in agreement, saying, “It’s so great that the magical tools for lighting were ready. They all look very pretty.”

"Seriously, Kobayashi really needs to thank Wiz properly later," Darkness said, to which Kobayashi casually waved his hand to indicate that he understood, "Yes, yes, I will thank him properly."

But let him enjoy this occasion for a while; a world free of danger and filled with lively performances is truly wonderful. However, as if unwilling to let him immerse himself in peace, Wiz ran into the amusement park, panting as if she had used all her strength.

"Mr. Kobayashi, something terrible has happened!!"

"Isn't that Wiz? Why is he so flustered?" Darkness looked at the magic item shop owner, whose chest was bouncing up and down, and was a little surprised and puzzled as to why the other party was here.

However, Wiz had no time to explain. She grabbed Kobayashi's arm and shouted, "Mr. Kobayashi, something terrible has happened! Please stop that magical artifact immediately! Otherwise, something terrible will happen!"

"This is terrible! What are you saying—"

"Ahhhh!!!"

Just as Kobayashi was saying this dismissively, a piercing scream suddenly rang out from the stage. Not only did he see it, but everyone else did too. Wiz's face turned even paler than before.

"Oh no... it's too late..."

"What on earth happened... Hey, hey, what is that thing?!"

Suddenly, a giant squid... I mean, a Kraken, appeared on the stage. Its appearance caused the guests surrounding the stage to scream and scatter in all directions.

"Wait, wait a minute!" Kobayashi was completely stunned when he saw this, and shouted, "What's going on!? There's a giant Kraken on the stage!?"

“After you left, I discovered the original purpose of that magical artifact while consulting the documents! That magical artifact—” Wiz swallowed hard, then said, “was a fishing fire used for catching Krakens!”

"Fishing lights!!!" Kobayashi stared at Wiz in astonishment.

Wiz continued, "The intense light emitted by magical artifacts can attract not only Krakens that inhabit the deep sea, but also mobile Krakens that inhabit the journey!"

"What kind of crazy fishing is that?! That's why it's called another world!!!" Kobayashi shouted, feeling a headache coming on, completely speechless at this bizarre other world.

"In that case, it's our turn to go on stage! Alright, let's go!" Megumin said impatiently, as if she really hoped for this to happen, and beckoned Aqua to go up.

Aqua proudly declared, "We have a Sword Saint on our side; Kraken is nothing to us!"

"Wait a minute!" Kobayashi quickly stopped the two eager participants, saying, "If we leave now, the performance will be a complete mess!... Hmm? Those guys—"

On stage, Cecily, seeing the suddenly appearing monster, said with a look of resistance, "What is this thing? Why is the Kraken in a place like this?"

"Although we don't know the reason, the audience is starting to panic," Lynn said, sounding equally anxious. "We need to think of a solution quickly."

"What should we do..." Youyou said anxiously, "If this continues, the performance will have to be canceled. Everyone has worked so hard to prepare until now, and this situation... ah!"

She recalled what Kobayashi had told her before: that no matter what the situation, they could solve it. Wasn't that exactly what they should be doing?

"I see... Yes, what we should do is...!" Youyou clenched her fist and said to the two people beside her, "Miss Lynn and Miss Cecily, let's continue the performance and defeat this monster!"

"What!?" x2
"No matter what, we must please the audience. That's what the Axel Angels team should do, that's what Mr. Kobayashi said!" Yu-Yu suddenly became passionate.

Even Cecilia stared blankly at her. "Miss Youyou... yes, that's all we can do, isn't it?"

“Indeed, Youyou is right.” Lynn nodded as well. “I also agree with this suggestion.”

"So, it's time for Team Axel Angels to go!!"

"Oh!" x2
The three of them performed while simultaneously defeating the Kraken, which was undoubtedly a very difficult task. Fortunately, with the High Priestess Cecily and the Archmage Yoyo by their side, they managed to accomplish it with great difficulty.

"Finally, we got it..."

"Great! Now the show can continue!" Cecily exclaimed excitedly. "Ladies and gentlemen, I'm so sorry! There was a little trouble just now—but the Axel Angels' nighttime performance is still going on!"

“Oh oh oh————” xn
The audience cheered loudly, and thus, the Axel Angels' performance at the water park came to a resounding success. But…

"Thank you so much this time! Thanks to you, the nighttime performances have been a huge success! And we're getting more and more customers!" The manager had a shrewd smile on his face, rubbing his hands together, clearly having made a lot of money lately.

"Of course! We came all the way to the water park, but we didn't even have time to go in the water. We were working like crazy!" Xiaolin complained subconsciously, then asked somewhat anxiously, "So, what about that thing we agreed on...?"

"Hehehe, here are some photos of beautiful girls in swimsuits for you. Please choose your favorite girl from them...!" Although he didn't say what he was going to say next, his meaning was very clear.

Kobayashi said with slight surprise, "W-can anyone in these photos be chosen?!" Looking at the very beautiful girls in the photos, she groaned in distress, "Ugh, who should I choose? This is so frustrating."

"I see...that's what happened."

"Hui-Hui-Hui!? When!?"

Just as Kobayashi was engrossed in his work, a familiar figure ran out from behind him—it was Huihui. Seeing the flustered Kobayashi, a smug smile spread across her face.

"Xiaolin, you're working too hard. I have a feeling there's something going on behind the scenes you're investigating."

"Kobayashi! You man! You actually used everyone to satisfy your own desires!?" Darkness also condemned his behavior.

"I don't want you to say that!"

"They've given up completely, they're hopeless, they're awful!" Aqua said with a look of disgust, while the three of them looked at her as if she were scum.

"No, well... how should I put it..."

"Words are useless! Just soaking my head in water will cool it down! Ughh ...

"Oh no, it's falling! It's falling!!"

Xiaolin was shoved into the pool by Huihui, and the photos of those girls sank with them. In the end, his wish was not fulfilled.
