Chapter 760 Let Me Ask You
Although he didn't say it explicitly, Xiaolin already felt it.
"Then..." As expected, after a brief pause, Sena said, "The nobles did the same this time. They said they would forgive you if you can make the clothes."
Then she handed over a list.
"Detailed requirements are written here. After confirming, please complete it before the deadline."
Sure enough, it comes again.
Xiaolin covered his cheek in pain.
Hui Hui asked anxiously, "Xiao Lin Xiao Lin, what kind of clothes are you wearing this time?"
"Let me see..." He unfolded the list and said,
"Hey!"
'What's wrong? ’
"We two have been together a lot lately, right?"
"Ah, that's true."
'I feel my heart beating faster'
"What are you saying all of a sudden?"
'so……'
"So, why do you say that?"
"Really? Are you going to make a girl say everything?" "Make this kind of clothes that are very suitable for girls with a sexy look."
I looked up and saw the complicated expressions of my companions.
"You tried hard, Xiaolin."
“Well, if you want to better understand the feelings of the characters in the play, it’s not enough to just read the lines.” Aqua actually said this.
“I don’t need that kind of evaluation.”
Kobayashi rolled his eyes in annoyance. Besides, even if it was only this serious, Youyou was already blushing and shy and didn't know what to do.
Then, Sena added, "Good luck to you. Well, I should be leaving soon."
She quickly left the mansion.
After Prosecutor Wang left, the tense atmosphere calmed down for the time being. However, one problem after another arose, making them physically and mentally exhausted.
But before that—
Kobayashi looked at the stupid goddess on the sofa and said, "So, Aqua, do you have anything you want to confess?"
"Listen to me, Xiaolin." Aqua's expression changed, and she said very seriously: "This is a problem for our entire team, so we work together... to catch the criminal..."
At the end, she couldn't go on any more, her eyes kept darting around, her hands tangled together in anxiety.
Seeing her like this, Xiao Lin said, "Just now, you said that you got bubble wine as a reward for your work, right?"
"You're so annoying, Mr. Kobayashi. Come on, your expression is a little scary."
"You said it, didn't you?"
Kobayashi suddenly came in front of her, his eyes glowing red, even more frightening than the excited Huihui.
“…Yes, I did.”
The stupid goddess lowered her head.
Xiao Lin continued, "The bubble wine you get as a reward is the same as the one on the wanted poster just now, right?"
"A bit like, but also a bit different..."
"It's the same, right?!"
“…Yes, the same.”
The stupid goddess who was questioned once again lowered her head helplessly and admitted it.
Darkness nodded and said, “I’ve checked it too. It’s the same bubble wine.”
"You, used magic to gather monsters this morning or noon, right?" Kobayashi continued to ask.
It's the starlight flame.
The magic power will rise into the sky like fireworks, and has the effect of attracting monsters. Sato Kazuma was tortured by this trick a lot in the past.
“It’s…useless…”
"You used it, didn't you? You used it, didn't you? You used it, didn't you?"
Xiaolin moved closer to her, his lips almost touching hers, and his forehead resting on hers, making her look into his eyes.
"Yes...I did."
“You… stupid goddess!!! You’ve caused us so much trouble!”
Kobayashi angrily scolded Aqua for doing something stupid.
The stupid goddess immediately defended herself: "Wait, wait a minute! Why are you so mean to me? I was just completing a commission!"
“It’s Aqua’s fault that we didn’t confirm the contents of the request in detail.” Huihui also said this and thought it was Aqua’s fault.
But the stupid goddess also has something to say.
"I've checked it. They said it was an assault training to train mercenaries, so I used that magic, and they also gave me that bottle of premium bubble wine!"
It seemed as if the problem wasn't with her.
Darkness sighed slightly and said, “What should we do, Krillin? If we catch the real criminal, then Aqua’s help to them will be exposed.”
"Ha...hahaha...in that case, it will definitely be the death penalty..."
Megumin said this softly.
This is not intimidation, but a real sentence will be imposed on the grounds of having helped a real criminal.
The stupid goddess burst into tears immediately, "I didn't do anything bad~~ Why is this happening~~~"
I want to cry!
Xiaolin also covered his head in pain.
Why does this guy always get into trouble?
----
After knowing that Aqua had helped the real criminal invisibly, Kobayashi and others who might be mistaken as helpers did not sleep the whole night.
The next day, they gathered in the lobby of the mansion, all with obvious dark circles under their eyes.
"No, it's all over..."
"Xiao Lin, I understand how you feel, but squatting on the ground with your knees hugged won't solve the problem."
Huihui lay on top of him, trying to pull him up.
“Meihui is right.” Darkness came over, grabbed his other arm, and said, “How can you waste time like this?”
"It's useless to do anything... There's no point in finding the criminal, and there's no point in making clothes..."
This is where the problem lies.
If he made clothes, they would be stolen, and then the nobles would ask him to make new clothes. If he caught the criminal, he would betray Aqua, putting the team in danger again. He went from being stubborn to being stubborn on both ends, and he would be held accountable no matter what.
"There's nothing I can do now, so I might as well just sit there and do nothing."
"That's better than doing nothing. Giving up so early is not your style."
"My style doesn't matter at all..."
Xiaolin responded to them boredly.
"that……"
"What's wrong, God of Plague?"
Aqua raised her hand cautiously, and Kobayashi looked at her, calling her a name that was even more excessive than before. In the past, the idiot goddess would have yelled at her for this title, but now she could only smile and beg.
"Well...how long can I sit there? My legs are starting to get numb. Also, the fur ball is so heavy on my knees. Whenever I try to move it away, it scratches me."
"You should thank me for not putting the stone there."
After Mamesuke meowed, Kobayashi rolled his eyes in annoyance.
This is punishment.
Although it is difficult to dispel the hatred in my heart, it would be great if I could teach her a lesson - of course, the stupid goddess is the type who only remembers the food and not the punishment, so she will definitely not remember this.
Aqua, however, pushed forward her demands, saying with a flattering smile: "Also, if you can return the confiscated bubble wine to me, I will be very happy..."
"How dare you mention bubble wine? Reflect on this, you idiot!"
"I reflected on it. I didn't complain when I was asked to clean the bathroom and toilet."
Aqua felt that she was being wronged.
Unhappy Xiao Lin pointed at her and shouted, "Okay! Then the next task is to clean the yard. Crawling on all fours to pull out all the weeds in every corner. I don't want to see even a fallen leaf!"
"I won't do it!" Aqua yelled, "I've done whatever you asked me to do. Isn't that enough?!"
"Now is not the time to be quarreling, you two."
Darkness rushed over, pulling Krillin and Aqua.
The stupid goddess cried out in grievance, "Wuwuwu, I just want to complete the commission..."
“Aqua, can you give me a detailed explanation of that commission? Where, under what circumstances, and what the client looks like. Any details are fine, we need intelligence now.” Darkness planned to start from this aspect, hoping to find some clues.
Normally, it is impossible to be flawless, especially for something like this that is premeditated.
"let me see……"
The stupid goddess began to recall what happened before and said, "I was going to the guild to drink in the morning when a man stopped me."
This guy, is he planning on drinking bubbles in the morning?
There's really no hope.
"Then, he said he was going to entrust me, the high priest, with a job that was particularly suitable for me. Ah, of course I refused at first. After all, I am the high priest, and I can't just do the job just because I want to."
"Actually, you don't want to be disturbed while you're drinking bubbles, right?"
Kobayashi ruthlessly exposed her lies.
"No way!" Aqua refuted vigorously, saying: "I am the power of the goddess, to protect the lovely believers, not for money. Do you understand?"
I don't understand a single thing!
Totally unconvincing, this greedy goddess!
"But the conditions he proposed were impossible for me to refuse... So, I had no choice but to accept the task..."
"Bubbles?"
"It's the Bubble Bar?"
"It's the bubble wine that's gone."
In general, the stupid goddess quickly succumbed to the other party's offer of money and agreed to help, which eventually caused a riot and led to the theft of clothes.
"That's what I said, but how would I know that bottle of bubble wine was stolen from a noble?!"
"Anyway, I just got caught up in a good thing! I need to learn to doubt others."
Xiaolin sighed helplessly.
However, what no one expected was that Aqua actually said, "Because this is my second time, I feel you can trust me... By the way, when I did it for the first time, I was even given an extra reward."
"Hey, wait a minute, why is this the second time?"
Xiaolin noticed something was wrong.
"It means exactly what it says." Aqua said as a matter of course: "That person commissioned me to do a similar job once before. This is the second time."
"Similar jobs?"
"Last time, you asked me to remove the barrier."
"Well, tell me in detail."
Kobayashi had a kind smile on his face, but in fact he could no longer hold back his clenched fists, yet he still forced himself to hold back.
"Even if you say so, I don't remember it. I was very drunk that time. Because I was drunk, I don't even remember which barrier I solved. When was the last commission... Yes, it was the night before I found the stone slab!"
Aqua said loudly as if she had remembered something.
Darkness followed suit and said, “After completing the mission, you said someone asked you to do something, right?”
"you this……"
Xiao Lin looked at her with gritted teeth.
"Xiaolin, what's wrong?"
The stupid goddess still had no idea what earth-shattering mistake she had made. The next second——
"You trouble-making plague god!"
"Wait, I'm the goddess of water——"
"Shut up, useless goddess!"
Before Aqua could finish, Kobayashi interrupted her and shouted angrily: "When the criminal committed a crime for the first time, you helped him!"
"……Eh?"
"If it was commissioned by the same person, this should be the case."
Darkness seemed to have realized what was happening.
“Ahhhh——” Aqua screamed, “No, no, it can’t be like this?”
She still didn't want to believe it.
Xiao Lin pointed at her head and said, "Think about it carefully with your stupid head filled with water. It's like this no matter how you think about it, right?"
"Because! I was very drunk, so I just took advantage of the situation—" Aqua realized that she had said something wrong, and immediately corrected herself, "No, I saw someone in trouble and couldn't just ignore him, so as a goddess I accidentally helped him."
"What good things have you done..."
Xiaolin is so exhausted that he can no longer cry.
Not to mention that there are accomplices of the real criminal in his own home, even if the real criminal is caught, there is no way to send him to trial, because that would mean Aqua would also be regarded as an accomplice and sentenced.
Who can understand this frustrating feeling?
Darkness was not angry, but comforted her: "At this point, there is no point in blaming Aqua, and this information is very crucial."
"why?"
"If the criminal asks us to remove the barrier, it means that the barrier is hindering him for some reason, right?"
"Yeah... indeed."
She was right, otherwise she wouldn't have looked for a stupid goddess.
"What can Aqua's barrier protect against?"
"The demons and the undead..."
Aqua whispered.
Huihui and Youyou seemed to have thought of something.
"Wait a moment!"
"Could it be that the criminal is..."
Apparently, the criminal's identity has been revealed.
Aqua also nodded vigorously and said, "I see. The criminal is that pest or Wiz, right?"
“No, no, no, that’s too hasty a conclusion.” Darkness held down the stupid goddess who was trying to pick a fight.
This guy was born to be incompatible with Vanir and Wiz. When he heard that it might be the devil and the lich, the first people he thought of were them.
"But, that would explain why the recipe was prepared!"
“That being said, Wiz and Vanir, there is no reason to frame us.”
"There's a reason! They're not happy with me as a goddess!"
"Is it the other way around?"
In Kobayashi's opinion, it was the stupid goddess who was unhappy with those two people.
"Then let me ask you. Not to mention the first time, do you remember the second commission clearly?"
"of course!"
"So the criminal is Wiz or Vanir?"
"…Well, he was wearing a long black robe that covered his entire body. It had a hood so I couldn't see his face clearly."
"You can understand it by listening to the sound, right?"
“Hmm, it doesn’t seem like Wiz or Vanir…”
At this point, Aqua had to admit that she was thinking too much.
