In the guild hall, Sato Kazuma pinched his chin and said, "Come to think of it, I still don't know Kobayashi-senpai's full name.
His words attracted everyone's attention.
"Why do you say that suddenly? Is there something wrong?"
Darkness seemed concerned after hearing this. She asked curiously, "What's wrong with Xiaolin's name? Did he hide his real name?"
"Hmm... well, I just feel like it's a bit awkward that after spending so much time together, I still don't know Kobayashi-senpai's full name."
Sato Kazuma didn't notice her abnormality, but expressed his concerns.
When dealing with people, you should at least know their name. This is the minimum courtesy, at least that's what he thinks.
"The name or something, it doesn't matter."
Huihui, however, acted indifferent. After all, her name was too strange in the eyes of others, and she would often be laughed at even if she didn't care.
"But that's not the point!"
Sato Kazuma thought he couldn't communicate with them, so he turned to the team's high priest and asked, "Hey, Aqua, you should know what Kobayashi-senpai's name is, right?"
"Hmm? Risousen?"
Aqua's mouth was full of food, and she looked like a silly hamster, not like a goddess at all.
Sato Kazuma looked slightly disgusted, but he still repeated: "Name, name! I'm asking you what Kobayashi-senpai's name is!"
"I have no idea."
“Huh?!”
The answer was too straightforward, and Sato Kazuma couldn't accept it. "Aren't you "that"? Why don't you know?"
"Which one is 'that'? I just don't know. What can I do?"
"You guy really is..."
Aqua is a goddess.
Before Satou Kazuma brought her to the lower world, it was Aqua who handled the reincarnations for the reincarnated. There was no way she didn't know Krillin's name...
No, I still remember the first time I met Kobayashi-senpai. When faced with an angry Kobayashi-senpai, Aqua acted like she didn't recognize him at all... Had she already forgotten it by then?!
"You are such a hopeless idiot."
Sato Kazuma was even more disgusted.
This actually annoyed Aqua, and she retorted loudly, "How can I possibly remember them all? Do you know how many people I have to see every day? It would be very tiring if I remembered them one by one!"
In fact, Aqua is also having a hard time. Who is responsible for the high death rate in the island country?
Realizing this, Sato Kazuma apologized to her.
But since Aqua doesn't know, I might as well ask other adventurers.
Ask Dust first.
He once taught Senior Kobayashi, so he should know since they had a good relationship.
…
"You said Xiaolin's name? I don't know."
"Huh?"
"Yeah, Xiaolin is Xiaolin, the name doesn't matter at all... burp!"
No, he is of no use.
Sato Kazuma looked at the drunk Duster and knew that he was no longer in the right mind. It was likely that he could not remember the name of Senior Kobayashi, or there was a small probability that he really did not know it.
Go ask someone else.
He turned around and looked for other adventurers to find out the truth.
"Xiao Lin? I don't know."
"Well, he's always been a loner and rarely interacts with others."
"Xiao Lin is Xiao Lin, the name doesn't matter."
The adventurers' statements were similar; none of them knew Xiaolin's name.
Sato Kazuma couldn't figure out whether Kobayashi had a good relationship with the guild adventurers or not.
To put it bluntly, the fact that everyone in the Adventurer's Guild knew him also meant that he was a very nice person; to put it nicely, no one in the guild knew his name.
"Why not ask the front desk?"
Seeing that Sato Kazuma's search was fruitless, an adventurer kindly suggested, "Guild adventurers who want to accept quests need to leave their names for record. You can go there and ask."
"Yeah, I totally forgot about it."
Sato Kazuma clapped his hands.
The guild keeps the adventurers' personal information to facilitate their organization and issuance of tasks.
According to the rules, other people cannot ask, but members of the same team should have no problem.
Walk to the front desk.
"What can I do for you?"
"Ms. Luna, I'd like to check the adventure mission records of my team member Xiaolin."
"Xiaolin's adventure record? Okay, please wait."
Just as he thought, there were no restrictions between team members, and he was about to know Senior Kobayashi's name!
A sense of accomplishment arises spontaneously when the mystery is solved.
puff--
A thick stack of task lists was placed on the counter, almost reaching his chest!
"This is Xiaolin's entire adventure record."
"so much?"
"Yes! Thanks to Xiaolin, the town has not been invaded by monsters during this period. I have to say that he is the most hardworking adventurer I have ever seen in Axel Town!" Luna spoke highly of Xiaolin.
"Oh, I see."
Sato Kazuma is not in the mood to comment on Kobayashi's efforts now, he just wants to know Kobayashi's name!
I quickly flipped through it.
Xiao Lin, Xiao Lin, Xiao Lin, Xiao Lin, Xiao Lin...
——————!
All the task lists have Xiaolin's name on them, and there is no full name at all!
how so!
Sato Kazuma held his head in his hands and yelled, "Why can't I find it? Doesn't Kobayashi-senpai have his full name?!!!"
"How could I not have my full name?" Kobayashi's voice came from beside him.
"Senior Kobayashi?"
"Why, are you curious about my name?"
"Yes! Please tell me Kobayashi-senpai's name!"
"You're actually interested in a man's name. If I didn't know you're as devoted to Big Sister as I am, I would definitely stay away from you... Fine, I'll tell you."
"Uh-huh!"
Sato Kazuma's eyes lit up. It was the first time he felt so excited when a secret was revealed.
"My name is Xiaolin..."
squeak----
A sharp friction sound suddenly rang out in the slightly noisy guild, startling everyone and covering up Kobayashi's voice, causing Sato Kazuma to not hear what Kobayashi was saying at all.
He turned his head angrily to look for the source.
It turned out that Darkness was arm wrestling with someone else. She used so much force that the table below kept moving, making a sharp friction sound. There were also many people watching the fun around.
"Darkness, be careful!"
Unfortunately, the knight surrounded by the crowd could not hear his words.
Sato Kazuma shook his head helplessly, then looked at Kobayashi and asked, "I'm sorry, Darkness was too noisy just now, I didn't hear clearly. Could you please say it again, Kobayashi-senpai?"
"Of course, my name is Xiaolin..."
Crash————
A stream of water fell from the sky, soaking Sato Kazuma like a drowned rat. Naturally, he didn't hear Kobayashi's answer.
And there was only one person in the guild who was playing in the water recklessly.
"A-Ku-ya!!!"
Sato Kazuma was furious. Looking at the mentally retarded goddess who was spraying water in the hall using her party skills, he was so angry that he wanted to go over and slap her.
But I still held back.
What's important right now is Senior Kobayashi's name, the rest will come later.
"Senior Kobayashi..."
"Okay, okay, I'll tell you. Don't look at me with those pitiful eyes. To be honest, it's really a bit disgusting."
Although he was told it was disgusting, he still endured it.
"Listen carefully, my name is Xiaolin..."
"Huh?! I told you not to call me a mentally ill Crimson Demon Clan Chunibyo Mage. Call me Phoenix Hatchling, Phoenix Hatchling! Are you looking for trouble?! Fine, I accept! My family motto is to respond to any criticism! Since you say I'm mentally ill, then I'll be mentally ill for once!"
For some reason, Huihui suddenly went berserk, attracting Satou Kazuma's attention.
She raised the magic wand in her hand as if to cast a spell, causing the adventurers in the guild to flee in all directions.
“Wait…Wait…Megumin?!”
“——Explosion…Gah?!”
At the last moment, Krillin quickly ran over and used Absorption Touch to absorb all of Huihui's magic power.
Although the guild was not blown up, the chaos caused had already thrown the entire guild into chaos.
This terrible incident was finally settled after Kobayashi, Huihui and others apologized repeatedly and paid high compensation.
night.
Tired Kobayashi and Sato Kazuma came to the public bath to wash their bodies.
"That stupid little loli is so abominable! Senior Xiaolin must teach her a lesson when we get back!"
"Don't say that. She was also humiliated."
"But you can't use explosion magic recklessly!"
"Alright, alright. No one getting hurt is the best outcome. Alright, I'll go in first. You should come in soon too."
"I'll be right there."
Kobayashi walked in first, and Sato Kazuma also quickened his pace to change his clothes.
Although Huihui caused the trouble because she was humiliated, he still couldn't help but get angry. It was all Huihui's fault that he didn't hear Senior Kobayashi say his name.
I sorted out the clothes I took off and put them in the closet next to Xiaolin.
Suddenly, a card came into view.
——Adventurer Card?!
yes!
The full name will definitely be shown on the adventurer card!
Isn't this common sense? How could I have forgotten it?
But isn’t it bad to touch other people’s personal belongings?
No, no, no, it's just a name, it should be fine! ...right?
But I'm curious, what to do?
Sato Kazuma was caught in a dilemma and was extremely conflicted for a while.
In the end, he couldn't resist his curiosity.
Well, Senior Kobayashi is not a petty person, so it should be okay to just say hello to him later.
Feeling guilty, he turned his head left and right to look around, as if to confirm whether anyone was coming.
Then he reached out to Xiaolin's clothes basket.
…
"Sato-kun! Are you still not okay?!"
“————!!!”
Sato Kazuma was startled.
The sudden call made his heart stop. He forced down his heart that was about to jump out of his throat and covered his mouth that was about to scream.
After a second, he lowered his voice and answered calmly.
"I'm sorting my clothes!"
"Okay, then hurry up!"
"Coming right up!"
After answering loudly, Sato Kazuma calmed down his excitement and reached out his hand to Yilan again.
It’s almost there! It’s almost there!
Just a little bit more!
Finally... I finally know Kobayashi-senpai's name!
A beating heart, trembling hands.
steal————
There was a flash of light, and Sato Kazuma had a card between his index and middle fingers.
He dared to guarantee that he had never been so cautious when he was staying in a hotel with Senior Kobayashi and the others and secretly rewarded himself at night!
But it's all worth it!
It's like the satisfaction a thief feels when he steals a beloved item after going through untold hardships, or like the satisfaction a detective feels when he solves many puzzles and reaches the truth.
satisfy!
This is the only word to describe it!
He finally...finally...
When Kobayashi's adventurer card, which was facing back, was turned over and paused in mid-air, the wild smile of triumph on Sato Kazuma's face froze when he saw the name column.
After a while.
He threw the card hard on the bathroom floor and couldn't help shouting at the same time -
“What a joke!!!”
“Why is there a mosaic?!!!”
