I like crossing the most

Chapter 530: The Righteous Thief
Kobayashi's forceful intervention changed the atmosphere from pink to ice blue in an instant, and everyone's expression became unhappy.

They were very dissatisfied with men who touched the women they liked. They were not united in hatred, but the disgust on their faces was inconsistent with the elegance and composure that aristocrats should have.

Darknesson felt something was wrong.

This was a banquet hosted by the royal family. She didn't mind drawing a line between herself and these men for Xiaolin, but if they all excluded Xiaolin together, it might cause a lot of trouble in the future. She had to save the situation.

The upbringing of a noble daughter made her think of a solution immediately. She stepped forward, blocked Xiaolin behind her and said, "Excuse me. Let me introduce you, this is Mr. Xiaolin, my companion on this adventure."

"fiancé."

Xiaolin suddenly interrupted, causing Darkness to pause for a moment. The word "companion" was stuck in her mouth, which was a bit funny. She repeated it again.

"It's a companion."

"It's my fiancé."

"companion!"

"fiancé!"

The surrounding nobles watched them quarrel.

Darkness then ignored etiquette and grabbed Xiaolin's neck with both hands. She looked ashamed and angry and raised her voice: "You...what are you talking about! When did you become my fiancé? If you want to be my fiancé, you should apply for a blind date with Dustinis!"

"It hurts so much! I oppose domestic violence, I oppose domestic violence!"

Kobayashi pretended to be unable to break free and shouted in grievance: "I have applied for it! And the head of the Dustinis family also said: I will leave my daughter in your hands from now on... So, I have my father's consent!"

"That's just social etiquette! It should be more formal, huh!"

Darkness had tears in her eyes, and it was unclear whether it was because of her eagerness or anger at not being her fiancé.

At this time, the surrounding nobles felt relieved.

"What? It's fake."

"It's just social etiquette. Well, I don't take it seriously anyway."

"You're lying. You were so panicked just now. But if Miss Dustinis hasn't made an engagement, can't I recommend myself?"

"Wait a moment. I have been applying for a blind date with the Dustinis family. I should have priority..."

Seeing that the misunderstanding was resolved, the nobles began to pursue Darkness again, restraining each other and showing no intention of leaving the scene.

trouble.

Xiao Lin was a little annoyed that his woman was being coveted by others, so he decided to use some brute force to make them leave.

Just as he was about to speak, an even more explosive speech came from outside.

"Lalatina! You are actually engaged to Senior Kobayashi?! Why didn't I know about this?! Then what about our relationship? What? Lalatina, are you planning to abandon me?!"

It's Sato Kazuma.

This scumbag dropped a bombshell as soon as he opened his mouth, and everyone present was stunned.

He had a feigned grief and sadness on his face, superficial enough to be seen through at a glance, but his words were impossible to ignore.

"We live under the same roof every day, yet you deceived everyone. Not only was I deceived, but you also trampled on Senior Kobayashi's feelings. Although I understand that you are the daughter of a noble family and it is natural for you to play with men, are we really not accepted? You even whip us every day! ! ! "

Before Sato Kazuma could finish his act, Darkness had already taken action angrily, and a howl of pain was suddenly heard.

The faces of the nobles around him suddenly changed.

It is their honor to be valued. After all, the Dustinis family is a great noble family in the kingdom. But if Darkness has special hobbies - such as whipping Sato Kazuma now, then they will have to think carefully about it.

Not to mention, the relationship between the three was very corrupt.

"Hey, is this fake?"

"Who knows? But as the second man said, they are fellow adventurers and live together every day. Maybe they will really become corrupt."

"Not good. I'd better forget it. I'm not in good health. I'll give it to you."

"No, no, no, I'm just an ordinary person. I think the second daughter of the Simfonia family is not bad, so I'd better pursue her."

"Go together."

The nobles retreated like the tide. No matter how Darkness explained, they simply didn’t listen. Instead, they smiled awkwardly and quickly fled.

Then naturally, word spread at the banquet that the daughter of Dustinis had a strange habit of whipping people, and her private life seemed to be particularly corrupt.

Erosion is not denied.

But she preferred being whipped to whipping others.

The rumors flooded into Darkness' ears. She was so angry that her body was shaking. She lowered her head and her expression could not be seen clearly.

"You two... look at what you've done!"

This is a sign of an impending outburst.

Xiaolin slowly stepped back. “Don’t be angry, Darkness. Isn’t it nice to be without those annoying people?”

"That's right! We helped you drive them away. You have to thank us when you go back! Right, Senior Xiaolin!"

Sato Kazuma was still adding fuel to the fire, but his expression changed when he saw Darkness pressing her fingers until they made crackling sounds.

“Wait, wait, Darkness! Don’t do it! If you do that, the rumor that you like to whip people will become true!”

"It's useless to talk!"

Darkness, filled with anger, did not listen to advice at all and gave Kobayashi and Sato Kazuma a good beating. Among them, Sato Kazuma was given special care, after all, Kobayashi's words had been clarified, and it was all his fault for causing misunderstandings.

Afterwards, Darkness went to save her... no, the reputation of the Dustinis family, and had to explain to those nobles.

Sato Kazuma rubbed his aching cheek and complained, "Why did that guy hit me so hard?"

"Who told you to say something weird?"

"Isn't it because you, Senior Xiaolin, were surrounded by those nobles that I came up with this idea?"

Perhaps because he thought the other side had more people and more power, Sato Kazuma came up with this bad idea to help Kobayashi out, but the price was that Darkness was misunderstood and her reputation was greatly reduced.

Of course, Kobayashi was furious about this - and gave him a thumbs up.

"Well done!"

"Thanks for the compliment!"

Both of them smiled like scumbags at the same time.

Rather than a bad reputation, Xiao Lin wanted to assert his sovereignty, just like if you like a goddess, you should feed her and make her fat.

But Darkness was still too popular. Just like a certain perverted female knight, she could not help herself even though she knew that doing so would make her feel ashamed. Some nobles with special fetishes would also approach her. It was a pity that they could not win the favor of the goddess. At most, they could only communicate about their illnesses.

Soon Sato Kazuma left. He wanted to make friends with the nobles he knew rather than stay here.

By the way, the toys he developed have recently gone into mass production. Taking this opportunity, he might be able to expand sales channels and make a lot of profit.

Sato Kazuma has extraordinary talent in business, provided he doesn't keep staring at the young and beautiful aristocratic ladies in the venue.

Looking at Sato Kazuma, who was frustrated by being repeatedly rejected, Kobayashi mourned for him from the bottom of his heart.

As for Aqua and the other three, they were approached by the noble ladies, who asked them what kind of shampoo they used, or what brand of soap they used most often.

Here I recommend Akusis shampoo and soap, which is edible soap!

Inexplicably, this sentence popped up in my mind.

"What are you doing here?"

When Xiaolin was observing human behavior, Alice came running over. She probably saw that Xiaolin was all alone and was afraid that she would be lonely, so she came to talk to him.

Her two guards, Kureya and Rain, also moved among the nobles.

"Alice, you are indeed my lovely sister. You are so considerate."

"elder brother."

Xiaolin really enjoyed her coquettish tone.

"But my brother didn't feel lonely. He was observing humans."

"Observing humans?"

Seemingly very interested in Kobayashi's remarks, Princess Alice leaned against the wall and stuck close to him, as if trying to understand what he was saying.

Xiao Lin half-knelt beside her, pointed at a male noble walking around the venue, and said, "Look, that guy, his expression looks like he's examining everyone in the venue, but his title is probably not high, at least not in this venue, but he's not aware of it. And the woman he's interested in is the daughter of a noble in a light pink dress. I guess he'll approach her soon, but he'll definitely be rejected."

After that, everything happened just as Xiaolin said.

The rejected male noble had an unpleasant expression on his face, but he probably understood that this was a banquet hosted by the royal family, so he did not get angry and just snorted coldly and turned away.

"See, I'll tell you."

Xiaolin chuckled.

But he didn't get any response from Her Royal Highness the Princess, not since the beginning.

When he lowered his head, he found that his hands were on Alice's shoulders, his face was very close to hers, and his mouth was close to her ear, whispering softly like a lover. The girl lowered her head slightly, her ears were red, but even so, she obediently let Xiaolin hold her in his arms.

"Ahem, sorry."

Kobayashi loosened his hands. Whatever he said would sound like a sophistry, so it would be better to apologize decisively. Fortunately, Alice said she didn't care, and she couldn't help but sigh.

"I didn't expect Alice to be so generous."

"Did it cause you any trouble? Or would it be better if I blame you?"

"Please be magnanimous and forgive me, please."

Seeing Xiaolin put his hands together, Alice giggled, and then she realized that she was retreating to advance, using a weak appearance to confuse herself and deliberately make him look bad.

What a clever little fellow.

"If you were an adventurer, I'm sure those perverts would be fooled by you."

"Adventurers...?"

Alice looked lonely.

She is a royal family and can never be an adventurer, so she longs for the life of an adventurer and is interested in their colorful adventures.

"I also want to be an adventurer like Lalatina. The royal family has hidden powerful magic and accomplishments from generation to generation. I don't want to be a swordsman, but a magician or... a thief. It seems that doing some good deeds like the chivalrous thief who is currently causing heated discussions on the streets seems to be a good idea! However, if I say I want to be a thief, Claire will probably scold me."

For an orthodox beautiful girl, and a princess at that, it is certainly not allowed for her to become a thief.

Also, the chivalrous thief she was referring to should be Eris... Wrong, it was Chris.

Did the goddess come to the capital to retrieve the artifact? I haven't seen her for a long time. Speaking of the favor I got back, did she use it?

"Brother...brother!"

"Huh? What's wrong?"

“Brother, don’t you know the most popular chivalrous thief right now? It is said that there is a thief who specializes in sneaking into the homes of nobles with bad reputations and stealing their savings in shady ways. Then, the day after the nobles are harmed, someone will leave a huge donation in front of the orphanage run by the Eris Cult. Therefore, the thief was named the chivalrous thief by everyone.”

Alice seemed to be very interested in what the chivalrous thief did. Although she was a royal and shouldn't call someone who stole property a chivalrous thief, she thought the chivalrous thief was very handsome and even admired him a little.

I know who he is!
...Kobayashi couldn't say such a thing. Exposing his goddess behavior just to look cool in front of a little girl would be a shame for Eris covering up his death so many times.

Moreover, the knights and guards of the royal capital were conducting searches, but they still had not found any clues. How could anyone believe me when I just came to the palace four days ago and had never been out, saying that I knew the true identity of the thief?

However, he ignored the rest of the team.

"Wait a minute, you mean the chivalrous thief? He disturbed the peace of the capital and caused the nobles living in the capital to suffer one after another? There is nothing we can do about it! Since that chivalrous thief met me, it can only be considered that he was unlucky! Just wait and see, I will definitely catch that chivalrous thief with my own hands!"

The person who said this was Sato Kazuma.

In order to gain fame, expand his circle and sell his products, this scumbag actually made a boast in front of everyone.

贵族们议论纷纷。

"The knights and guards of the royal capital couldn't find any clues, but he said he wanted to catch the thief?"

"Rather, who is this person who has been running around in the venue since just now?"

"Hush! I heard that the inconspicuous man was a toy for Sir Dustinis's enjoyment. Yes, that toy you were thinking of."

I'm talking about the uncle over there!
The last sentence is superfluous!
Ignoring the strange looks from others, Sato Kazuma raised his right fist and shouted, "Don't worry, we have ways to defeat even the Demon King's army cadres, and we will definitely be able to resolve this incident! Even though they are called righteous thieves, a thief is still a thief! We will never sit idly by!"

Being too righteous makes people feel sick.

His behavior was even more disgusting than Darkness pretending to be a perfect young lady. Aqua and the others immediately realized that he had other intentions.

"Well said! That's amazing!"

A noble clapped his hands in applause.

After him, other nobles also expressed their appreciation.

“As expected of you, Master Dustinis’ teammate! In that case, please allow me to buy your merchandise and lend you a helping hand! Ah, please don’t misunderstand me, I haven’t done anything that would attract the attention of the Chivalrous Thief. I just want to support Master Dustinis!”

"I heard that he is a man who can fight against the generals of the Demon King's army. Arresting thieves is probably a piece of cake for him."

"Then I'll buy the goods too! I haven't done anything wrong, but it would be nice to catch the thief! That's right, I haven't done anything that would get me targeted!"

The nobles spoke in support at once, and Sato Kazuma's smile became more and more outrageous.

These guys are so easy to see through.

...But, this is okay.

With the reason to arrest the chivalrous thief, I can continue to stay in the palace without being accused of being a freeloader, and I can also make a lot of money!
Kobayashi could only hold his forehead and sigh at Sato Kazuma, who was also seen through.

That scumbag idiot will definitely regret it in the end.
