Chapter 758: Stuck
"Isn't the reward money but bubble wine?" Huihui asked the others' questions.
"Yes, that's right."
However, Aqua didn't feel anything wrong at all, and even held the bubble wine in her hand more tightly, and the smile on her face became brighter.
Huihui pulled the corner of her mouth.
"Are you sure you haven't been cheated?" She looked at the bubble wine, then at Aqua, and said, "Although I don't know what the task is, the reward is bubble wine or something, and I feel something is wrong no matter how I think about it."
"Hehe, Huihui is just a child."
Aqua raised her head proudly.
The little Lolita was immediately unhappy when she was told this. She snorted and said, "Well, let me hear what you think, Aqua."
"This bubble wine is worth hundreds of thousands."
"Hundreds of thousands...!?"
When the stupid goddess said this number, Huihui was already shocked. She looked at the bottle in disbelief and exclaimed, "Just a bottle of bubble wine, worth hundreds of thousands of Eris, is it true!?"
"I see, hundreds of thousands...Okay, everyone, drink it quickly!"
Kobayashi wanted to get started without saying a word.
"No!" Aqua hid the bottle behind her and said loudly, "This is what I earned myself, and I won't give you a drop!"
"Yes, yes, that's it."
Aqua is a very stingy guy, not to mention the bubble wine worth hundreds of thousands. How could a guy who loves alcohol share it with others?
"Huff, huh, huh--"
Aqua raised the bottle in her hand and rubbed it with her face. The smile on her face became softer, and she looked extremely obsessed.
"I will treasure this child. Then, I will go back to my room."
Looking at her, she might even sleep with a bottle of bubble wine at night.
"Hmm..."
Darkness looked at Aqua's back as she walked away, and she was a little silent, which made people curious.
"What's wrong, Darkness?"
"There are indeed many kinds of branded bubble wine, but if the trademark is real..."
"If it is real, what's wrong?"
"It is a rare item among rare ones. Even if you spend hundreds of thousands of Eris, you may not be able to buy a bottle."
"Hey, is it a lie?"
Kobayashi pulled the corner of his mouth, and even Huihui felt uneasy.
Darkness worriedly said: "Although I don't know what commission she accepted, it is impossible for a simple commission to have such a reward."
"This is indeed a bit wrong." Huihui wiped her cheek with some worry and said: "Let's go to Aqua to confirm, how about it?"
Not good.
It is obvious that this is the flag that the useless goddess has caused trouble again.
Well, I don't care about this.
Yes, this is Aqua's own business, and I don't need to get involved. Besides, Aqua was so concerned about the bottle of wine, so she must have obtained it through legal channels. Yes, that's right.
Kobayashi, who figured it out, immediately said, "Don't worry about it. Maybe the client is particularly generous?"
"But, at least you should ask, right?"
"No, no!" Kobayashi rejected Darkness's worries and said loudly, "Aqua has caused enough trouble! I don't want to ask about these things, and I don't want to know!"
"I think, if you don't ask at this time, you will be involved in trouble later. Isn't that your usual style, Kobayashi?" Huihui suddenly said this.
"Don't say that!"
Kobayashi doesn't want to get involved. There are no benefits, but there are a lot of messes. Is he the one who cleans up these problem children? That's not the case! So, don't ask! As long as you don't know, it won't happen, right?
"Kobayashi! Mr. Kobayashi, are you there?!"
Suddenly, someone shouted outside the mansion.
Kobayashi was quite familiar with this voice. It was better to say that he had been dealing with her recently. Yes, the owner of this voice was the prosecutor of the kingdom, Miss Sena. Her appearance also foreshadowed that there would be trouble.
Huihui also sighed helplessly.
"See, the seeds of trouble have sprouted so quickly."
"Hey, seriously, don't come, please..."
Kobayashi covered his cheeks in pain.
The door of the mansion was pushed open, and Sena, dressed as the prosecutor of the kingdom, walked in seriously. After seeing the three people in the room, she did not have any intention of reminiscing about the past, but said bluntly: "Mr. Kobayashi! I'm really sorry to disturb you so late at night!"
"If you are sorry, don't disturb me. Can't you be quiet when you come in?" Kobayashi rolled his eyes. He did not have a good impression of the noble, and even the middleman Sena spoke in a bad tone.
Seemingly sensing the unhappiness in Kobayashi's tone, Sena immediately lowered her head and apologized seriously.
"Sorry... But, Mr. Kobayashi, I have something to tell you."
Hmm?
What's wrong? Sena feels different than usual.
Her voice is very soft, different from her usual serious and strong attitude, more gentle and calm. But unexpectedly it makes people feel very serious, as if something big is going to happen.
Then, she explained her purpose.
The next moment, Kobayashi's unbelievable roar and shout came from the mansion.
"What did you say, clothes were stolen again!?"
"Ah, a few hours ago, another thief sneaked into the noble's mansion."
"Hey, could it be..."
"As you think, the nobles think you are the prisoners."
Sure enough, just as Xiao Lin had guessed, the noble must have felt that only they knew about the clothes, and it was entirely their fault that the clothes were stolen.
"No, no, no, we didn't do anything!"
Xiao Lin couldn't help roaring loudly.
At this time, Aqua also walked out of the room. She had changed into pajamas and had a facial mask on her face. Dissatisfied with the noise in the living room, he complained:
"What are you arguing about? If you don't sleep at night, snakes will come out if you make too much noise."
"That's a whistle, okay."
There is a saying in the island country that snakes will come out when you whistle at night, but the stupid goddess completely forgot about it and confused the world.
"Ah, that's right."
The stupid goddess looked unconcerned.
Megumin said hello at this time and said: "Akuya, the clothes offered to me were stolen again."
"And just like before, we are treated as prisoners again." Darkness sighed slightly, even she felt bored.
"Eh?!"
After hearing the news, the idiot goddess finally woke up and her expression changed.
Xiao Lin continued to communicate with Sena to prove his innocence.
"I've said it before, what's the point of stealing the things offered as offerings?"
"The clothes you make are precious items with special effects that have never been seen before. People who like to collect will definitely want to get clothes without spending money."
Sena said so.
Apparently they thought Xiao Lin and the others were thieves whose clothes were too good to be handed over and then stolen back.
Only then did the stupid goddess nod her head in realization and whispered: "Ah, yes, there is another way."
What are you talking about, this greedy goddess?
As for clothes, they can make more clothes at any time with slates, so there is no need to go out of their way to steal them. It’s okay to go to all the trouble to steal. Is there something wrong with your brain if you still steal clothes you don’t like?
"The problem is that only a few people know about the existence of clothes. The nobles thought that you were greedy for money, so they stole the clothes you offered. Then, the nobles regarded your several thefts as humiliating him..."
"Dang, what does it mean..."
Sena's words made Aqua feel a little uneasy. She asked in a low voice with a frightened look on her face, and unknowingly grabbed Xiaolin's clothes and hid behind him.
“Think of the worst possible outcome, and that’s the answer.”
Sena said this slowly.
"Wait a minute, the worst result is..." Aqua's expression suddenly turned ugly, and her face turned pale, "Death, the death penalty..."
The latest chapter of this novel is first released, please go and read it!
"Wait! Wait! Wait! Even nobles can't be so unreasonable!" Huihui yelled dissatisfied. She was fed up with this kind of thing happening one after another, and every time the problem appeared in their heads. superior.
"Of course."
Sena's expression also became slightly sad. She sighed and said: "The trial will be decided according to the law, but..."
"But...what?"
"..."
"Don't stop talking."
Sena's sudden silence made Xiaolin and others feel something was wrong.
Darkness seemed to understand something. She kindly let Sena, who was looking unhappy, rest and said, "You don't need to say anything. Let me explain next."
"Feel sorry."
Sena couldn't bear to look at it.
I forgot that Darkness was also from a noble family. She must know these things, so she couldn't help but ask.
"Hey, what do you mean, Darkness."
"In this town of Axel, the power of the nobles is greater than Xiaolin imagined. In other words, facts can be fabricated at will."
"you mean……"
"In a trial based on the law, evidence will be considered."
Darkness reminded Xiaolin that this was what Eldap did back then. It was clear that Kobayashi and the others did not intentionally move the mobile fortress destroyer's crown stone, nor did they intentionally bomb the lord's palace, but he still forcefully asked the judge to convict Sato Kazuma.
After thinking about this, Megumin couldn't help but said: "But if the evidence can be fabricated by the nobles..."
"Criminal law can also be manipulated at will."
That’s it!
It was this trick that Eldap used at the beginning, which made their team suffer for a time. Now the nobleman planned to use this trick again, and even wanted to score twice. To be honest, his stomach was really full of anger.
"I asked, does the King's Law still have any meaning like this?"
Megumin spoke out what Kobayashi was feeling.
Aqua tugged on his clothes and said fearfully: "Xiao Lin, this is an unprecedented crisis."
"I don't want to be unjustly accused and sentenced to death!" Huihui also shouted excitedly.
"I don't want to either!"
Xiao Lin also shouted unhappy.
"Calm down, you guys." Darkness signaled them not to get excited, and then said, "The nobles probably have no intention of killing us."
"Hey, really?"
"Look outside, there's not a single guard there, right? If there had been any intention of convicting us, we would have been arrested long ago."
"That's true."
Aqua looked out the window and nodded.
Darkness looked at Sena again and said, "If we want to arrest us all, just one prosecutor is not enough. It can't be done with four people."
"Yes, it would take ten men to capture Darkness alone."
"My power is not that exaggerated!"
No, no, no, your power is so exaggerated. After successive battles with powerful enemies, the perverted female knight's arm strength has become countless times stronger than before, and she is already on par with Xiaolin.
Darkness's cheeks were slightly rosy and she breathed out, "But it would also feel good to be controlled by men's arms and then suppressed and tied up. No, no, no, it would be better to be ridden like a horse. This will make the pressure even greater. . How about it, Xiaolin, please give me some advice..."
"Anyway, you don't have any intention of sanctioning us now, right?"
"Ignore me?!"
Xiao Lin didn't want to deal with the crazy perverted female knight. He turned to look at the kingdom prosecutor Sena and asked her what the noble's original intention was.
Sena nodded, agreeing with this statement.
"Nobles are obsessed with special clothes, but no one can make such clothes except you."
"In other words, we have discovered our use value."
"But if you don't give evidence to clear your suspicion, you will be tried one day."
"That means that if it loses its use value, it will be... right?"
Before Xiao Lin could negotiate with the nobles on this condition, Sena suppressed him by saying that he would be sentenced.
I have a headache.
"But, even now. In order to make clothes, I have to work every day. If this continues, my body will not be able to bear it." Megumin sighed tiredly. They have been working intensively for several months. If this continues, The body really can't bear it.
Xiao Lin also said: "Also, the formula for the clothes was given by someone unknown. Maybe the thief who stole the clothes deliberately left the formula, and then secretly stole the clothes to frame us."
His words made everyone's expressions change. After all, it was not impossible.
Rather, it is very likely.
Aqua also said uneasily: "W-what, this is it! The current situation is not good, are we a little stuck now? I said, what should we do, Xiaolin, what should we do?"
"What should I do? Just make it cold..."
Xiao Lin spread his hands. In this situation, there is nothing he can do, unless——
"Mr. Xiaolin."
Sena suddenly stopped him, the expression on her face was extremely serious, as if she was confirming something.
"I have something to ask you."
"What?"
"You think you're innocent, don't you?"
"Of course, we didn't do anything."
Xiaolin also gave a firm answer to Sena's question, but then became depressed again the next moment.
"So, where's the evidence?"
"……No."
"If you are not guilty, give me the evidence. I am a person who obeys the king's law. If there is evidence, I will act fairly."
Sena spoke the words of justice.
