Kobayashi was a little surprised when he arrived at the base.
After 7 days of hard work, the renovation was only minimally livable. The entire warehouse was in a mess and full of garbage.
But now it is clean, tidy and looks brand new, and it has become quite presentable.
"Those two guys are pretty useful."
Sato Kazuma didn't expect them to improve their base, and his impression of them as useless improved slightly.
"Well, I'll have to praise them later."
Krillin said they would have a holiday, and Darkness and Megumin acted completely on their own initiative, so it would be wrong not to praise them and give them some rewards.
"Will this earn me praise from Master Kobayashi?"
Liu Zi tilted her head, puzzled, "Even if it's a little more refined, it's still just a warehouse after all. It's no different from a small house where low-class people live."
"That's also the result of their hard work." Xiaolin rubbed her head.
Then everyone walked into the stronghold.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw Megumin riding on Darkness's shoulders, holding a magic stone for lighting in her hand, trying to put it into the small hole carved in the wall.
“Darkness, a little higher.”
"oh oh."
"Almost, just a little bit more..."
“Hmm…”
Darkness tried to stand on tiptoe, but unfortunately, Megumin was too short for the average height, so even if she stretched her arms as far as she could, she couldn't fit them in.
"What are you doing?"
Sato Kazuma couldn't help but ask.
"As... you can see... we are putting... illuminators..."
Huihui's face flushed and she was sweating profusely. It was a pity that she was just a little bit short of the target, which made people want to help her.
Sato Kazuma rubbed his brows and said speechlessly: "You two, since you can't reach it, why don't you put a stool under your feet?"
“…Yes!”
“I actually forgot!”
The two women, who had been working hard for a long time, were extremely embarrassed and at a loss as to what to do.
I'm really worried about their IQ.
"Okay, okay, everyone gets confused sometimes, especially when you're lost in organizing. It's normal to forget."
Kobayashi called out to Darkness and Megumin, who were panting and sweating profusely. "Rest for a while. We'll clean up together later."
With the opportunity, the two women could do nothing.
The six people sat at the big table in the hall. This table took into account important functions such as eating, meeting, resting, etc. If Xiaolin had to choose a satisfactory place in the base, it would only be here.
Everyone sat down.
Liu Zi walked into the kitchen naturally and prepared steaming hot tea for everyone. After going around, she naturally sat down next to Xiaolin.
Huihui blinked and pointed at Liu Zi. "I've been wanting to ask this ever since a while ago. Who is she and why is she here at the base?"
Although Darkness didn't ask, the inquiry in her eyes showed that she was also curious.
"I was just about to introduce you to him."
Xiaolin introduced the two girls: "Her name is Liu Zi, she is my waiter, and from today on she will also join the team."
"waiter?"
"Maid's meaning."
"Oh, I see."
After their doubts were cleared, Megumin and Darkness stopped asking questions, seemingly uninterested.
Xiaolin was surprised.
"Won't you ask more about her? It's okay, feel free to ask."
"No need, I trust your decision."
"We both have our own problems, so who are we to judge others?"
Huihui chose to believe Krillin, and Darkness even put herself in a very low position.
...I didn't expect that they were both so self-aware.
Sato Kazuma didn't say anything, but his eyes expressed this meaning.
However, in order to prevent them from harboring any resentment, Xiaolin still said, "Liu Zi is very strong. Currently, she has the strongest overall strength in our team."
“Oh? Stronger than Megumin?”
"Please pay attention. I'm talking about comprehensive strength."
Huihui and Darkness have different focuses and strengths, one has high attack and the other has strong defense.
Liu Zi, on the other hand, can be considered as having fast speed.
The effect of the 【Imaginary Motion Mechanism】 is to accelerate itself to a point where time almost stops, but the disadvantage is that it will not stop until the energy of the spring is exhausted, and after stopping, the spring needs to be rewound to start again.
"But it can't be shown now. It has to wait until the battle... um, it can be shown in three days during the Cabbage Battle."
"Oh, is it that time of year too?"
"Looks like we can look forward to it."
Everyone suddenly became excited.
"Cabbage War, what is that?" Sato Kazuma felt that he was out of the topic.
He was a person from another world who had just come to the mortal world, so it was normal for him not to know about this festival.
"Let me tell you..."
Everyone talked at once to explain for him.
Simply put, ripe cabbages will fly over Axel.
Because they have a rich and sweet taste, each one costs as much as 10,000 Eris, and many adventurers are ready to make a fortune on that day.
Of course, Kobayashi is no exception.
Cabbage harvest day is the best opportunity to get start-up capital.
After hearing everyone's explanation, Sato Kazuma also became excited.
Xiao Lin said, "Don't worry, you still have to wait three days."
"Oh, oh." Sato and Mashiro were happy.
After everyone calmed down, Kobayashi said to Darkness and Megumin, "Although it's a little late, I still want to say thank you two for tidying up the messy room."
Huihui: "Hmph, if you want to thank me, treat me to a deluxe meal."
Darkness: “No, nothing, just having nothing to do.”
Kobayashi gave a completely different answer and agreed to Huihui's request.
"Okay, we're almost there, let's go together."
"Oh!" X4
The team was in high spirits.
Liu Zi walked over and said softly, "Master Xiaolin, let me take care of the rest. It will be sorted out in a moment. Of course, I also ask Master Xiaolin to praise me."
"No, that's not necessary, but if you want to help, come along." Xiaolin shook his head and refused.
Liu Zi asked in confusion, "Why? We can finish it in an instant just by using the gears' power. We don't need you to do anything at all."
"Hmm...how should I put it?"
Kobayashi thought about how to explain it, and after a moment's thought, he said, "Rather than having a servant do it, I'd rather tidy it myself. It's not just about tidying the room; we want to have fun doing it and create memories together."
“…Humans are really strange.”
"Right. Humans are a group of creatures with complex emotions."
Liu Zi seems to have her own way of thinking about getting along with others, but her perception of human emotions is still a little weak. It seems that if you want her to understand the subtle emotions of humans, she needs to feel more.
After a while, the room was tidied up, but now there was a serious problem facing everyone.
——There’s not enough room!
Although the warehouse is very large, there are not that many rooms because at that time no consideration was taken into account that there would be more people joining the team, which resulted in there being no room for Liu Zi now.
Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to do for a moment.
