I love time travel the most!

Besides, wouldn't it be better to team up with Yoyo, Chris, and Wiz? Why team up with a bunch of problem kids?

"Besides, isn't a four-person squad the best configuration? DPS, healer, tank, control, you guys are the perfect squad, just like that disconnected city."

"But the most popular MOBA games are five-player teams!"

Kazuma Sato retorted loudly.

Hmm, I didn't expect that. I really underestimated you.

Seeing that Xiaolin hesitated, he pressed his advantage.

"Please think about this carefully, Senior Kobayashi. Our team has a goddess! Although she may seem unreliable, as a high priestess who also serves as a goddess, she is much more powerful than an ordinary priestess."

Aqua may be a fool, but she is undoubtedly a goddess.

Unlike ordinary high priests, goddesses can use resurrection magic without limit, and even if only dust remains, two goddesses working together can successfully revive each other, which is a rather overpowered ability.

That alone was enough to make Kobayashi's heart flutter.

The reason they didn't leave the starting village is simply because it's too dangerous outside, right?

You mean a succubus?

He didn't know anything about succubi.

On the other side, Kazuma Sato was also trying his best to fight for it, because if he were to take care of three problem children, he would definitely be overwhelmed!

Furthermore, unlike him who impulsively brought the idiot goddess down to the mortal realm, Kobayashi-senpai is a genuine transmigrator from another world with cheat-like abilities, making him a powerful ally in the mission to defeat the Demon King!

Therefore, no matter how humble he had to be, he was determined to keep Senior Kobayashi here!

Kazuma Sato pressed on: "Besides, Kobayashi-senpai's cheat system needs Aqua to charge it, right? You agree, Aqua?"

Kazuma Sato secretly winked frantically at the idiot goddess, and it's unclear whether Aqua also wanted to keep Kobayashi, but her mind finally clicked for once.

"...Yes, it needs to be charged."

It must be fake, Kobayashi instinctively concluded.

Meanwhile, Kazuma Sato increased his bets again.

"From now on, Senior Kobayashi will be in charge of the squad!"

This way, he wouldn't need to manage the problem children in the team, and he could have an easier time.

Kobayashi guessed what he was thinking.

"Sato-kun's calculations are so loud, I could hear them all."

"So, what was Kobayashi-senpai's answer?"

"Um... okay, I agree."

"Yay!"

Under his tense gaze, Kobayashi finally nodded slowly, and Sato Kazuma cheered excitedly.

Chapter 4 I'm a very democratic person

There are limits to going it alone.

Being a lone wolf sounds cool, and the way they act is mysterious and carefree, but in reality, it has many inconveniences.

He fully understands this.

Having strong teammates by your side while doing a mission makes you feel more at ease.

Xiaolin doesn't team up because ordinary teammates are really not good enough, and even if they are forced to team up, they are unlikely to be of any help.

Like Dust.

When I said in the tavern, "Waiting for teammates is not about loafing around and waiting to die," I wasn't just being stubborn.

Don't let his current status as a petty hoodlum who likes to renege on debts and drink fool you; as a dragon knight with a mysterious past, Dust is one of the top tiers in Axel, a place teeming with experts.

Even Kobayashi received his careful guidance when she first arrived in the other world.

The vast difference in strength made him realize that even if the two were of the same level, he would have no chance of winning. They were not comparable to him, who lived in a comfortable era.

After teaming up with Taylor, Lynn, and Keith, this powerful individual sealed off most of his strength to keep pace with the team, only undertaking low-level adventurer quests.

...Although there were also reasons such as Dust not wanting to live too hard, and the unreasonable demands of a certain scumbag princess.

Countless experiences from our predecessors have taught us this.

To reach higher levels and defeat stronger enemies, powerful assistance is indispensable.

In conclusion, if suitable teammates are available, Xiaolin would still agree to form a team.

After all, he didn't have any so-called sorrow of blood.

Although Aqua and the others are not very reliable and they are still novices, their potential is enough for Kobayashi to patiently teach and train them.

Looking at the four people sitting in their seats, including himself, he realized that this was the beginnings of a team.

As the team leader, Kobayashi felt he should say something.

Building relationships starts with mutual flattery.

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

"Hey, has that ever happened?"

Huihui scratched her head, seemingly unable to remember.

Kobayashi reminded him: "About two weeks ago, at night, in the grove of trees to the east..."

"Ah! It's that demon!"

Huihui shouted, as if she had remembered something: "You're the one who shot an arrow from the shadows to interrupt its magic!"

“That’s right.” Kobayashi nodded.

Two weeks ago, a mid-level demon named Houst appeared in Axel.

It came to steal half of Wolbach's body.

The campaign went smoothly, but just when victory seemed within reach, it was thwarted by the inherently awful nature of the goods Wiz was selling.

At the critical moment, Kobayashi fired an arrow, cutting off its escape route, and then Megumin, who rushed over, unleashed an explosive magic to successfully defeat it.

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

Kobayashi highly praised Huihui.

Huihui puffed out her flat chest, raised her head proudly, and said, "No matter! I am the one who will eventually exhaust the limits of Explosion Magic. My Explosion Magic will turn mere demons to ashes in an instant!"

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

A round of enthusiastic applause immediately followed.

I have to say that Huihui's act of being a "B" was very successful.

Those who don't know the truth would definitely think that the little black-haired, red-eyed girl in front of them is a super powerful figure.

Even Kazuma Sato secretly thought to himself that he should try to curry favor with her in the future.

Then, Kobayashi looked at Darkness.

The blonde female knight, when she's not acting foolish, looks like a cold and aloof beauty, which is really appealing to my tastes.

Of course, the silly female knight is even more appealing to our fantasies.

Kobayashi's gaze was somewhat rude, but Kenny thought it was great, even a little enjoyable.

"What, what's wrong?"

"nothing."

Kobayashi paused for a moment, then said, "Darkness, I've actually heard about you... from a silver-haired thief."

"Is that Chris?"

"Yes."

That was a week after Kobayashi arrived in the lower realm.

Having just leveled up, he desperately needed some practical skills that didn't cost many points, so he approached Chris, who happened to be drinking at the guild.

Thanks to the kind Lady Luck, Kobayashi learned many useful thief skills.

He also invited Chris to team up, but she declined, citing her own inconvenience.

Kobayashi knew that she often went to other towns to collect artifacts that Aqua distributed that would bring great trouble to the world, so she wasn't too discouraged after being rejected.

However, Chris did recommend Darkness to him, but Kobayashi declined for some reason at the time.

The idea of forming a team was thus abandoned.

"She said you are pure, kind, and gentle, a qualified knight of the cross, and have a very strong body, comparable to the hardest adamantite ore. In terms of defense alone, you are probably the best in the world. Although... you may have a few minor flaws in your personality."

Kobayashi also highly praised her.

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

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

Who wouldn't want a sturdy and reliable knight to stand in their way?

"H-How could that be... That's an exaggeration."

Darkness blushed deeply.

I don't know if it was because I was shy from the praise or because I was excited to be told that my body was harder than ore.

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

“That’s right, Darkness, you should stand tall like me!”

Huihui had high hopes for the female knight: "You and I are the perfect combination!"

"Mmm, mmm...hehehe..."

Darkness blushed slightly and grinned foolishly.
