Traveling through time? You can reach another world as soon as you leave your house

202 Hiroi Kikuri: "Yes, everyone saw it, so it's better to drink less alcohol (￣︶￣)."

403 Xiaolin: "Ms. Kikuri, you are the only one who has no right to criticize me... Forget it, let's skip this topic. I have to go out to work."

......

Room 403, living room.

A red-haired woman with a neutral appearance and a ponytail was drinking gastrointestinal medicine while watching the jokes and banter of other apartment tenants in the mobile chat group.

"Really? Next time that Kikuri girl wants to treat me to a drink, I will never leave her again... Oh, my waist hurts."

Kobayashi sighed lightly and put down the empty bottle of gastrointestinal medicine.

It was only early in the morning, but her glasses-covered eyes with dark circles under them were already filled with fatigue.

She was wearing a plain white shirt, a brown coat, and carrying a black shoulder bag. She looked very unfeminine and extremely plain.

But her foundation is actually quite good, but for some reason she doesn't want to dress up.

"That program will be comprehensively tested today, right?"

Kobayashi muttered to himself as he walked to the entrance and squatted down to change his shoes.

As a corporate slave in modern society, she is currently working as an office lady at Jigokugakusho Kitasenju Office, and is a programmer who often stays up late to work overtime.

Although she could always handle work-related problems, the workload was really heavy recently, and a certain annoying boss kept making things difficult for her.

So to be honest, she is living a very numb life now and can't find the meaning of her life.

However, this common life trouble completely disappeared in the next moment.

Because, when Xiaolin opened the door of his house as usual...

She froze.

There was a dead silence.

The decadent look on his face slowly turned into an indescribable dullness.

Because, at this moment, what caught Xiaolin's eyes was not the unchanging scenery inside and outside the corridor of the building as usual, but a giant Western dragon in mythology, sticking its head into the corridor and staring at him silently.

The other party had a pair of huge coral-like horns, dark green scales all over his body, and a mouth full of fangs. His red-gold dragon eyes, which were bigger than her head, reflected her dazed expression.

Then the dragon opened its mouth and roared softly.

The strong wind pressure and sense of intimidation coming towards him not only made Kobayashi deaf, but also forced him to realize that he was not dreaming.

So, this moment.

Kobayashi, whose pupils had finally completely lost their luster, slowly lowered his head to look at the door handle he was still holding tightly, and began to feel deeply confused about his life.

Because she just went out to work and encountered a giant dragon, she couldn't understand it no matter how hard she tried.

"Why the hell?"

ps: In a sense, Kobayashi’s situation is exactly the same as the one the protagonist encountered when he first opened the door (??ω??).

Volume 42: Chapter : The Magical Everyday World

Dragon.

It is the strongest creature that can spit fire, fly in the sky, and use all kinds of incredibly powerful magic. It is a mythical existence that only exists in imagination.

Therefore, if it really appeared in reality, the aura it exuded alone would be enough to instantly attract the attention of the strong.

"Strange... there seems to be something there?"

Take a nap on the lounge chair in front of the apartment door.

The strongest swordsman, who had retired decades ahead of schedule, put down the health tea in his hand and looked surprised.

Ji Guoyuan turned his head and looked inside the community. There was clearly nothing there, but his instinct kept telling him that there seemed to be something wrong there.

This made him feel deeply confused.

But there is nothing we can do about it.

After all, the original world he came from had no concept of magic, not to mention that this was magic released by a giant dragon—

"Cognitive impairment".

Gabriel, who was playing games in Room 302, ignored the "Game Over" displayed on the computer screen. She subconsciously changed back into an angel and turned to look outside with a frown.

The holy light belonging to the Seraph was quickly forming into the shape of the Sword of Judgment in her right hand.

That is the real power, worthy of being called the messenger of God.

As for the most powerful person in Room 303 next door, he also put down the half-eaten coffee jelly in his hand and showed a rare look of surprise.

Even, in a hospital more than ten kilometers away.

An uncle, whose soul had just traveled back from another world and was lying on the hospital bed, slowed down his movements while flipping through a magazine, and an extremely terrifying aura suddenly burst out from his body.

no doubt.

This ordinary-looking, even ugly man once killed a dragon with his own hands...

Even the embodiment of divine power!

However, the tense and heavy atmosphere appeared and disappeared just as quickly.

Because, in the next moment, the breath from the dragon had completely disappeared from their perception.

And, more importantly, from beginning to end.

The strong men did not feel even the slightest bit of malice.

So, the swordsman continued to drink tea, the angel continued to play games, the psychic continued to eat coffee jelly, and the uncle who was confused about his future life continued to read the magazine silently.

As for the dragon?

Now she has turned into a blonde girl with twin ponytails wearing a black and white maid outfit, about fifteen or sixteen years old, with a sunny smile on her face, and landed in the outdoor corridor on the fourth floor of an apartment building.

“Clang~!!”

Thor jumped around on the spot in a lively and cute manner.

Then, looking at the office worker with a slightly dazed expression in front of him, he gave the best smile from the bottom of his heart and greeted him in the most intimate and gentle voice.

"Hello, Kobayashi OVO!"

Thor said this with a smile.

Kobayashi, who witnessed the entire process of the giant dragon transforming into a dragon maid, began to have a brain storming session.

Obviously, all the common sense she had accumulated since birth made it impossible for her to understand what was happening before her eyes.

But in the end, Xiaolin just nodded seemingly calmly and replied politely.

"Hello, please come in."

......

at the same time.

Room 402 next door.

Sitting at the dining table with a piece of toast in his hand, the oldest and strongest demon king finally withdrew his puzzled gaze and continued to eat his breakfast happily.

However, the cute king sitting next to him was obviously a little uneasy.

"What happened just now?"

Rimuru looked towards the next door in confusion.

There was no mistake. The strength of the aura she had just sensed was comparable to that of the Demon King, and even comparable to the Storm Dragon Veldora in her "stomach".

Isn’t this the everyday world of modern society?

Why would such an absurdly powerful being appear so randomly? !

"It seems like he went into the next door... Is the tenant next door okay?"

Rimuru, who was kind-hearted by nature, couldn’t help but show a worried look.

But Lu Ren, who was sitting across the table and drinking miso soup, looked very calm.

"It's okay, don't make a fuss. He's a new tenant in my apartment. He just moved in today."

He spoke casually while swiping his finger on his phone.

He was in the apartment chat group, scrolling through last night's chat history.

Because Xiao Lin, who was drunk at the time, sent a message in the group saying that he was drinking with Miss Julong in the mountains, so he had expected last night that something slightly different from the usual would happen this morning.

After all, this is what happens in the original novel of Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid.

Well, since we cannot stop it, we can only face the reality and accept it naturally.

No matter how outrageous the reality is...

However, Rimuru obviously didn’t quite understand.

After all, the common sense of a modern person in her mind kept reminding her how outrageous it was to encounter a legendary dragon on Earth.

Although the fact that she traveled to another world and then came back is quite outrageous.

Just as Rimuru was about to say something, he found that Lu Ren and Milim were eating breakfast very calmly, as if it was not them but her who was strange.

This also made Rimuru doubt himself. Was he really making a fuss out of nothing?

Therefore, for the sake of emotional intelligence and atmosphere, she finally chose to continue eating breakfast in silence.

It was the "Great Sage" in my mind who had been helping to analyze the situation next door and had come up with all sorts of bad data.

This made Rimuru a little nervous.

But fortunately, it didn't last long.

The dragon that entered the next door left and flew away.

This made Rimuru subconsciously breathe a sigh of relief, but he was also suddenly stunned.

Because in her perception, it was not only the dragon that just left, but also the tenant who originally lived next door? !

"It's nothing, it's just Xiaolin from next door, she rode her dragon to work that's all."

It seemed that he understood Rimuru’s thoughts.

Lu Ren, who had already finished his miso soup and was eating some toast, explained casually, his expression still looking very calm.

In other words, apart from a calm expression, he no longer knew what expression he should show in response to this outrageous daily development.

"...Lu Ren, who is this Xiao Lin you mentioned?"

After a brief silence, Rimuru finally asked in a silly tone.

In response to this, Lu Ren, who had already quickly resolved the problem, thought about it for a moment and then replied.

"Just an ordinary social animal."

Looking at Milim who was still sticking out her tongue and licking the jam on the toast.

Lu Ren supported his chin with his hand, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and his eyes looked a little inexplicably gentle.

"The kind that dragons really like."

......

at the same time.

High above the city.

A giant dragon that had cast a magic that hindered cognition was now soaring here, heading towards a company far away.

Kobayashi, who was sitting on her back, was feeling the strong wind blowing towards him. He was impressed by how fast the flight was. At the same time, he was thinking with his pupils slightly absent-mindedly about the inexplicable uneasiness and anxiety he had felt just now when he saw Thor, who was about to open the door and leave because he had refused to live with him.

"...Why not just hire him?"

She looked up at the boundless clear sky and suddenly said this subconsciously.

"Really?!"

As a result, the giant dragon being ridden turned around in surprise, its eyes shining.

"So you can hear it?"
