Chapter 884 The Last Daily Life 63
On this day, the guild was packed with adventurers and the place was bustling with people. Xiaolin was sitting in a corner of the guild bar, looking at the usual scenery alone. If he wasn't leaning against the window and wasn't sitting in the second to last seat in the back seat, he would really be the protagonist. But, even so, he took a sip of the bubble wine and couldn't help but sigh:
"It's really peaceful..." He put the wine glass on the table, exhaled and leaned lazily on the table, "There are no urgent missions, and there will be no attacks from the Demon King's army. The days are particularly comfortable and stable. It's really a blessing."
But when he said this, his face was not so happy. Instead, he held his head with both hands, looking a little uneasy.
"But I can't calm down for some reason. Speaking of this period of winter, I always feel that my nerves should be more tense... But this kind of calm is even more unbearable. Is it the calm before the storm..."
He couldn't help but mutter quietly, and this should not attract other people's attention in such a noisy guild...but he didn't expect that someone would pay special attention to him, so he asked straightforwardly.
"What makes you feel nervous, Mr. Kobayashi?"
"Hey, Cecily..."
Xiao Lin looked at her and greeted her, and at the same time said with uneasiness on his face: "I just can't remember it no matter what. I always feel like it seems to be an important thing... Or is it my psychological trauma?"
After a moment's silence, he suddenly raised his head and made a surprised expression.
“…Ah! Could it be that I lost my memory when I was reincarnated?! I remember Aqua said that when you are unlucky, your brain will be washed out. Is it all that guy’s fault?!”
"Wait a minute, I won't let you blame Goddess Aqua!" Cecily said this unhappily. She was particularly protective of that stupid goddess. After all, she was a believer of that guy, so it was understandable for her to say that. But she obviously didn't have time, and she just happened to have time to chat with me. Then she quickly said, "...Ah, no, no, I have something urgent to deal with now, so I'll leave first."
"Emergency?" Xiao Lin tilted his head and looked at Cecily. After all, in his impression, this so-called beautiful priestess was actually a moving source of disaster. When she said she had an emergency, she would either bring trouble to the Eris Church or go to the streets to lure other people to join the Axis Church. In short, she was a very troublesome person.
Cecily said with a little pride: "I have an important schedule later. I have to catch agar slime!"
"Agar Slime?" Xiao Lin looked at the excited beautiful priestess of the Axis religion with a little suspicion, and asked in a slightly questioning tone: "Are you up to something again?"
“How rude!” Cecily put her hands on her waist, bulged out her rather large chest, and said with a slightly puffed mouth: “I just want to develop a new flavor of agar slime!”
"New flavor?"
Xiaolin looked unhappy. Could it be that he was trying to develop the smell of snot, bastards, or soap? Or something like that, to be used as a prank or revenge against the Eris believers? Cecily didn't notice Xiaolin's expression, but spoke again with a hint of anticipation and joy.
"Today I plan to try the chocolate flavor. If it can be successfully made into a product, it will definitely attract a large number of female and child customers. After all, chocolate is a dessert that hits the bull's eye!"
"...I am angry about the slander I just made, but I think that agar slime alone should not be made into a product..." Xiaolin complained subconsciously, and the only person who likes to eat agar slime is Cecily. Many people will not eat it because, to some extent, it is banned from sale by the kingdom...
"Hmm? Wait, you said chocolate flavor...?"
"What's wrong?"
Cecily tilted her head and looked at him in confusion, while Xiaolin opened his eyes wide as if he had suddenly realized something and shouted loudly, "That's it, ah ah——"
Then, Kobayashi ran back to the mansion without looking back, regardless of Cecily, who was frightened by her confusion. He then looked at the problem children in the team and spoke.
"I have something to tell you guys."
"Why are you so serious all of a sudden?" Aqua, who was forced to stay by Xiaolin, was a little unhappy. She pouted and said, "It's rare that Lynn and the accompanying lich come to play with us. If you want to talk about something boring, I will be rude to you."
"The accompanying lich..."
Wiz was playing with her fingers in a hurt manner. Aqua was still not very polite to the weak Lich Girl, even though they had been together for such a long time, and she was the only one who treated her as a goddess.
"Can we listen to this?" Lynn also seemed very interested, but she was afraid that this was a more critical and important matter, so she quickly continued, "Of course, if it's inconvenient, we can also leave first."
“It doesn’t matter.” Xiao Lin shook his head. “I hope Wiz and Lynn can stay too. Or rather, I really hope that you two can stay too. This is very important.”
“I didn’t expect you to say this…” Darkness looked at Xiaolin solemnly. She crossed her arms and pretended to listen attentively. She raised her white chin slightly and said, “I’m beginning to wonder what it is.”
"Could it be that you have finally made up your mind to duel with the Demon King—"
“Give me chocolate, please.”
Before the excited Huihui could finish her loud speech, Kobayashi interrupted her and expressed his true thoughts - he wanted to get delicious chocolates from these girls.
“…What?” Huihui was a little dumbfounded after being interrupted. She stared at Xiaolin blankly and couldn’t help asking, “What did you just say?”
"I said, give me chocolate, please."
Xiaolin repeated it again.
“Do you want chocolate?” Hui Hui frowned slightly, seeming a little dissatisfied with this, but she didn’t lose her temper. Instead, she said in confusion: “If you want, can’t you just go buy it yourself?”
"No, I don't just want to eat chocolate! I just--"
Kobayashi was speechless for a moment.
Indeed, in their opinion, if they want to eat chocolate, they can just buy it themselves, but Xiaolin’s real idea is different!
"Valentine's Day, right?!"
"That's right! It's Valentine's Day!"
Kobayashi was satisfied with his mouth replacement - the stupid goddess Aqua, whose brain had become a little more flexible, and gave her an approving look as a compliment.
Weisz repeated in a somewhat strange tone: "Valentine's... Day?"
"What is that?" Huihui looked at Xiaolin in confusion, not knowing what festival this was.
Aqua's tone was slightly cheerful, and she explained to the two with a smile: "The so-called Valentine's Day is a festival-like festival held in Kobayashi's hometown at this time every year. Girls will give chocolates to boys to express their feelings. In other words, it is a confession of love."
The explanation was accurate, Xiaolin also thought so, but it wasn't just this kind of chocolate...
"Love? Love love love love...?! In other words, Xiaolin wants us to confess our love to him... Is that what you mean?!"
Darkness obviously misunderstood. She blushed and stumbled as she spoke, shyly glancing at Kobayashi's expression. Huihui and Lynn stared at Kobayashi with some disdain, which made him suddenly deny loudly.
"I'm not asking you to do that!" Xiao Lin quickly stopped their delusions and explained, "On Valentine's Day, friends and family will give each other chocolates to thank each other for their care in daily life..."
That’s right, Kobayashi doesn’t expect them to give him love chocolate, but he still hopes to eat the charity chocolate to fill the emptiness in his heart.
“I see.” Huihui also understood, and she said in a slightly relaxed tone: “So, that’s why you suddenly said you wanted chocolate.”
"It's not just that." Xiaolin's expression was slightly gloomy, and his tone was also lowered. He said with an inexplicable tone and intonation: "According to legend, if someone does not give out chocolates, they may suffer terrible punishment from heaven...!"
“God, God’s punishment…?!”
Wiz suddenly became nervous, and secretly looked at the stupid goddess beside her. Speaking of which, she often heard the word "divine punishment" recently, and the person who said it was naturally Aqua, and the person who suffered was undoubtedly Wiz.
"So! Hurry up and prepare some chocolates for me now!" Xiao Lin shouted excitedly, urging the girls who were still busy without realizing it, "There is no time to lose! Just give me a few, hurry up, hurry up!"
"I say, Xiaolin... what you said is too..."
"Yes, yes, there is no such legend on Valentine's Day."
Lynn seemed to know information about Valentine's Day. She rolled her eyes helplessly, suggesting that Kobayashi was exaggerating. Even the stupid goddess Aqua couldn't stand it anymore and started to condemn it.
"Xiaolin, you are really something." Aqua seemed unsatisfied. She covered her cheeks with her hands and sighed as if she couldn't stand it. "Even if you have never accepted chocolate from anyone other than your family, isn't this a bit too impatient?"
Stop it! This sympathetic look... don't look at me like that!
Xiaolin felt a little melancholy, kneeling on the ground and doubting his life, while Huihui looked at him with a little sympathy and whispered in disbelief: "I have never accepted... chocolates from people other than my family...?"
"Hey, Aqua!" Kobayashi, who was so sympathetic that he wanted to commit suicide, exploded and asked loudly, "Why do you know this?!"
"Because I remembered that Mr. Kobayashi complained to me like this when he drank too much bubble drink and passed out."
"Your brain is really good at picking things to remember!"
Kobayashi couldn't help but complain - just like last time, Aqua only remembered that there would be a million dollar bounty for capturing Chris, and completely forgot that the money was taken from Kobayashi, and she issued the mission without authorization.
Lynn spread her hands and said helplessly, "Even if that's the case, there's no need to tell such a flawed lie... By the way, why are you the same as that guy Dust, always pestering me for chocolates and the like? Even the reasons are the same."
What, that guy too? He is indeed a scumbag! Axel is hopeless dust, Dust!
"Shut up!" Xiao Lin retorted loudly, as if someone had stepped on his sore spot: "Can you understand how it feels to be someone who has never received any chocolate during a season when chocolate is everywhere?!"
"——This man actually got angry out of shame!"
Huihui took a step back in fear of the angry Kobayashi.
"Well..." In the end, the kind and gentle witch lady smiled considerately and said, "If you just want chocolate, then I'll make it for you, okay?"
"Wiz!!! Are you serious?!"
Xiao Lin was so moved that he almost cried!
Wiz didn't care. Instead, she smiled and explained, "After all, Mr. Kobayashi has taken care of me a lot in matters like the store, so I'll just take this as a small token of my gratitude... Would you like to join me in making chocolates?"
“Alas… I really can’t do anything about you.” Aqua sighed deeply, put her hands on her hips and looked at Kobayashi sympathetically, and said, “Well, for the sake of poor Mr. Kobayashi… I, the goddess Aqua, will come to lend you a hand!”
“I’ll help too.” Huihui followed closely behind, also with a slightly interested expression, and said, “Actually, I don’t mind giving chocolates anyway.”
Obviously, she was planning to send charity chocolates. Although Kobayashi should be happy to receive chocolates, he felt a little sad and unwilling inside, and he didn't know why.
Darkness nodded decisively and said, "Then I'll join in, too. I'm also interested in yesterday's order. Most importantly, Xiaolin has taken good care of us. If it's within my ability, I'll do my best to satisfy your request for chocolate. Well, I don't know if I can satisfy you, but I will definitely give you chocolate."
I gave Xiaolin a heads-up in advance, saying that the taste might not be good, but even so, Xiaolin was deeply moved.
"You guys..."
Xiao Lin wiped his eyes, feeling like the naughty kids at home finally grew up and knew how to respect their parents... Even though he didn't raise them, and he didn't need them to respect him. But he was really relieved to be able to say that.
"Then I'll come and help as well." Lynn followed closely and said, "After all, Dust... ahem, our team often receives a lot of help from Xiaolin, and chocolates don't have to be given only to Xiaolin, right? There are others who can give them too, right?"
It's Dust, right?
Xiao Lin didn't care about this little thing. He knew that someone was willing to make chocolate and give it to him, which was already a favor. So, Xiao Lin was very moved and said:
"...Thank you! I will make sure I have enough space in my stomach so I can eat all the chocolates!"
