The Absolute Godspeed of Infinite Worlds

Chapter 590 - 590

"So it's not a designated-type isekai?"Kazuma Satou immediately furrowed his brows and reluctantly abandoned this plan.

"Well, that's fine too. So boss, which worlds can we travel to?"

"It's which worlds I can travel to. Right now, the only ones I can freely come and go between are Rakudai and Danmachi."

Eiji crossed his arms and spoke calmly.

Having conversations like this with a reincarnator was quite amusing. Kazuma Satou had no idea that in Eiji's eyes, he was actually an anime character—now that was hilarious!

"Wait, can't you go to the Type-Moon world?"

Kazuma was shocked. There were so many lewd characters over there—wouldn't it be a huge loss if he couldn't go?

"That one's a bit special."

"I get it! It must be because of the Counter Force's interference, right?"

"...Exactly! That's it!"

Seeing Kazuma's look of sudden realization, Eiji paused for a moment before giving him an approving glance.

"In that case, I should head to the Danmachi world first. Rakudai seems to be all about innate talent, so I need to go to Danmachi and get stronger with Falna. Plus, there's the blue ribbon over there!"

The moment he mentioned the blue ribbon, Kazuma's breathing suddenly became much heavier, almost like a bull's, as he panted heavily with a perverted, lustful expression.

"The blue ribbon already has a rabbit."

Eiji chuckled and spread his hands, unsurprised to see Kazuma's face fall in disappointment.

"So we're already at that point in the timeline? Well, fine. But the Loki Familia still has the Sword Princess!"

He clenched his fists, his eyes burning with determination.

Crack!

But then he suddenly froze in horror as he realized his boss was cracking his knuckles.

"Kid, you've got some nerve! Daring to have thoughts about your sister-in-law?"

Behind his mask, Eiji's face twisted into a vicious grin.

"Ah, my bad! I didn't realize the Sword Princess was your wife!"

Kazuma gasped sharply and quickly forced an awkward laugh, barely managing to get Eiji to lower his clenched fist.

Makes sense.

If the boss had already traveled to those worlds, of course he wouldn't have just sat around doing nothing. It was only natural he'd have hooked up with one or two of the original story's beauties. Thinking about it, the reason the boss was so strong was probably because he'd gotten Falna too.

"Boss, when can we set off?"

Having settled on Danmachi as their first destination, Kazuma was brimming with motivation. He couldn't wait to see the sights of the labyrinth city!

"Correction: when can I set off."

Eiji chuckled.

"?"

Kazuma suddenly froze.

"You didn't actually think I'd take you world-hopping right after you joined my ranks, did you? What about loyalty? If you betray me later, wouldn't I just be a total sucker?"

Eiji smiled confidently.

"Damn, even I can only travel alone. If I took you along, wouldn't that be false advertising?"

Inwardly, he was grumbling.

Because he could only travel alone, he'd been able to boldly build a harem in worlds like Danmachi, Konosuba, and Type-Moon without worry. After all, his senior sister and the others had no idea what he'd been up to outside—otherwise, the ensuing bloodbath would've already torn him apart.

"This isn't what we agreed on!"

"Did I ever say I'd take you with me?"

Eiji smiled warmly.

That's right, the deal was only about pledging allegiance. Kazuma was responsible for delivering Aqua's feather robe to Eiji, and in return, Eiji was willing to take him under his wing.

The feather robe was merely borrowed and would be returned to Aqua when the time came.

Kazuma Satou was dumbfounded.

Of course, he couldn't say that!

If, while pledging allegiance to his boss, he said, "Boss, I'll serve you if you let me isekai," what would the boss think?

The boss would definitely assume he was only pledging allegiance for the sake of isekai—that he was just using him. His loyalty would be in question, and he'd already be at a disadvantage in terms of emotional leverage.

Talk about shooting himself in the foot!

"Don't worry, as long as you continue to assist me, I won't treat you unfairly."

Like a true capitalist, Eiji dangled a carrot in front of Kazuma Satou.

"How about this? Once you reach Level 40 in this world, I'll take you to another world. Deal?"

If, by the time Kazuma Satou reached Level 40, Eiji still couldn't take anyone to another world, he'd just never return and let Kazuma die waiting!

"You have to understand, other worlds are dangerous too. Getting stronger will help you survive there. I'm only doing this for your own good!"

Clenched!

Kazuma Satou felt his fists clench!

It suddenly dawned on him—this was the boss's true nature!

He only had himself to blame for misjudging him. He had assumed that someone with such an overwhelming presence, the Demon King himself, would be a decisive and domineering figure. Who would've thought this guy was rotten to the core, the complete opposite!

"Fine."

But what else could he do?

He'd just have to make do.

Kazuma Satou let out a dejected sigh.

This unscrupulous boss was the only one with the power to travel to 2D worlds. For the sake of living in a 2D world, he'd endure it!

"Wait a second… what if the 2D worlds are all made up too?"

Kazuma suddenly grew suspicious.

Hesitantly, he spoke up, "Boss, can you show me something from another world? Not that I don't trust you, but—"

Before he could finish, Eiji pulled out a weapon.

It was a jet-black holy sword embedded with circular crimson patterns.

Kazuma froze.

An extraordinary sense of mystery radiated from the sword, along with an ominous aura that sent chills down his spine.

"This is the Black Holy Sword. Got it from Black Saber."

"...I believe you now."

Kazuma Satou finally relaxed.

Though he hadn't gotten his wish to isekai, pledging allegiance to the boss was still a gain.

Setting aside his doubts, Kazuma quickly excused himself and left the hall to avoid raising suspicions among his teammates.

"A-Li! A-Li, are you there?"

The moment he stepped out, he heard a very familiar voice.

"Wiz?"

He turned around and was surprised to see the useless shopkeeper's figure.

"A-Li, I've been here for a while now. I want to go back to Axel. I'm the owner of a magic item shop, and the store absolutely can't run without me!"

Wiz cheerfully ran up to Eiji.

No idea where she got the confidence to say that.

"A-Li? That's the boss's name?"

Kazuma instinctively pricked up his ears and slowed his pace.

"I heard from Barnier that business at the shop has been booming ever since you left."

"Barnier-san must be lying! Please, A-Li!"

Wiz hugged his arm against her chest, cooing sweetly in a spoiled tone.

"I'll let you go back, but leave behind what you've taken."

Eiji's tone softened slightly as he pointed to her pockets.

"I-I didn't take anything!"

Wiz immediately shrank back, her voice tinged with guilt.

Without hesitation, Eiji lifted her up and shook her like a sack, causing a pile of strange objects to tumble out.

"Magic ore, magical tools, mithril... confiscated."

"How can you do this?! Aren't I the queen? Why don't I even have the right to move just a little something?"

Wiz pouted, her face full of grievance.

A little?

More like a lot!

"Only if you could actually make money!"

Eiji flicked her forehead and dragged her back to the palace.

Meanwhile, Kazuma Satou quickened his pace, heading toward Axel.
