I like crossing the most

Chapter 872 The Last Daily Life 52
Jingle Bell--

Wiz's magic tool shop was opened, and a familiar figure came in from outside. Wiz was slightly stunned when he saw the person, and then a happy smile appeared on his face.

"Hey, hello Mr. Kobayashi, what are you going to do today?"

"Wiz! Have you seen Chris?!"

Xiaolin asked quickly.

"Eh?" Wiz was slightly stunned, then he looked inside the store and said subconsciously: "Miss Chris's words--"

"Ah, why are you so flustered?"

"found it!!!"

Xiao Lin pointed at her and shouted, and her excitement really scared her. But she didn't have time to care about her mood now, this was a big crisis!
"Chris, have you been seen by anyone before you came here? Have you seen anyone here besides me?"

"What, what's wrong? I don't understand what you mean."

Chris tilted his head and looked at him with confusion.

Xiao Lin said anxiously, "Never mind, just answer me Chris, please! This is really important!"

"Well, I don't remember much." Chris recalled and said in a strange way: "What exactly happened? I haven't seen anyone in this store."

“Is that so?” Xiao Lin patted his chest in relief, then looked at the weak-looking proprietress of the magic tool shop and said, “Listen, Wiz, I have something to ask of you. Can you hide Chris for a while?”

"Eh? Miss Chris?"

"What's the matter with hiding?"

Xiao Lin's words were so confusing that the two of them were obviously confused. Indeed, if they didn't explain it, they obviously wouldn't accept it. There was nothing he could do. After all, it was his own fault.

"It's a long story." Xiaolin sighed and said, "To put it simply, Chris, you have a bounty."

“——Hah!?”

“I don’t know who posted the mission in my name, but if you capture Chris, you’ll get a reward of one million Eris. Right now, the adventurers in the city are looking for you with red eyes. However, this mission has a time limit. The time limit is six hours, so if we think of a way now, we’ll definitely be able to drag it out!”

Xiao Lin quickly told Chris the whole story, and asked him to drag it out for as long as possible during these six hours.

Wiz also started to panic. She kept staring at Chris with shining eyes and drooling, saying, "This, this, this, this... This is really not good. One million Eris!"

"Xiao Lin...what's wrong with you?" Chris also complained with a headache: "To be honest, this bothers me a lot."

"I'm troubled too! I don't want to pay a million eris or something like that!"

Kobayashi also slammed the counter of the magic tool store hard.

At this time, Wiz brought out tea and snacks and said, "Um, um... Miss Chris, Mr. Kobayashi? Um, if you don't mind, how about a cup of tea? I made the tea without realizing it."

"........."

"........."

What responded to her were the two people's distrustful looks.

Wiz waved her hands quickly and exclaimed, "What, what, what, what... What's wrong with you two? You look at me like a suspicious person."

"Wiz, drink the tea yourself."

“Eh? ...Um…!”

Wiz was immediately panicked when she heard what Xiaolin said. Her abnormality had already aroused Chris' suspicion.

"Ms. Weisz?"

"I'm sorry!!! I drugged you without knowing it! Please forgive me!"

Wiz covered her face in shame and ran out of the magic item shop.

I knew it would be like this.

Not everyone can refuse one million eris, especially the owner of a magic tool store who is so poor that she can barely afford to eat. How can she not be tempted by such a huge fortune that is within her reach?

"So?" Chris turned around and looked at Xiaolin and asked, "Can you explain why there was such a commotion?"

"I want to know that, too." Xiao Lin sighed and said, "By the time I came to my senses, the mission had already been released."

He also felt puzzled and suspected that someone was deliberately harming him, but he didn't have time to think about that now. The most urgent thing was to drag it out for these six hours, and the rest would come later.

Chris also looked as if he understood, and said, "The mission is to catch me, right?"

"Yeah, that's right."

"Does this have anything to do with you following me yesterday?"

"Hey, did you find out?"

Xiaolin was slightly surprised.

Chris closed one eye and said playfully, "Tracking is terrible. If you don't want to be exposed, at least use the Lurk skill."

"No, if I do that, it will feel like a crime."

Xiaolin shook his head.

Tailing or something like that is absolutely not allowed. If you do it openly, if you are discovered, you can say that it was just a coincidence. But if you use the Lurk skill, it is another matter.

Unexpectedly, Chris said with a little surprise: "Oh, it's incredible, Xiaolin also has such a conscience."

"I think I have always been a person with conscience!"

"Eh?"

Chris looked at him in surprise.

Kobayashi covered his aching heart and said, "Don't be like this, please. Aqua and the others are fine, but if someone with a real conscience complains about it, it will be a blow to the heart."

"By the way, what do you want to do by following me?" Chris asked in confusion. "If you have something to discuss, why don't you just discuss it with me? Why do you have to go through all the trouble of following me?"

"Look, didn't you need to apologize for all the care you received from everyone because of the ring? But Chris, you said you didn't need it for now, so I wanted to find out what you want and what you want to do, and then return the favor."

This is purely Kobayashi's own decision.

Although he had good intentions or didn't want to owe anyone a favor, it ended up causing such a big commotion and brought Chris a lot of trouble.

"Um, was anyone seen?"

"Ah, some people saw it."

"I see."

Hearing what Xiaolin said, Chris nodded and said, "At this point, we can only assume that someone knew about this and issued the mission in your name... Is that it?"

"Ah?! Why are you doing this?"

“I don’t know about that.”

Hearing Xiaolin's doubt, Chris spread her hands. Although she was a goddess, she didn't know everything, so it was normal for her to be ignorant of everything now, not to mention that she herself was involved in this.

"Was it out of kindness or malice? If it was Xiaolin, I think the latter is more likely."

“I always feel hurt.”

Hearing what Chris said, Xiao Lin curled the corners of his mouth, wondering if her words had become a little too spicy.

“Let’s go, let’s go, let’s say, let’s go?”

Chris asked.

Xiao Lin immediately said: "Now, let's escape from the town immediately! It won't be so easy to find us outside the city!"

After all, Chris would usually only respawn in towns. Besides, if he ran out of the town, he could hide temporarily anywhere in the vast universe. A mere six hours would be no problem at all.

However, although it was a perfect plan, Chris was a little unhappy.

"You mean to say that I was the only one who escaped?"

"Ah, aren't you very good at hiding yourself properly? You are a thief after all."

Xiao Lin said this subconsciously, and felt that this was the most reasonable way. After that, as long as he went out to guide other adventurers and told them that Chris was in the town, they would not go to the trouble of running out of the city. All unstable factors should be nipped in the bud!

Chris pouted and said, "Well, even though I'm very good at it, I can't go out without any preparation. With my current equipment, I can only go to the plains outside the city at best. Besides, I might encounter monsters, so it's not possible."

"Is that so... Damn it, I forgot!"

Chris is just a thief, his fighting ability is not high. And if he goes to the plain without any shelter, wouldn't he be more easily exposed?
"Forget it, let's talk about this later, let's just run for now!"

He said this in a somewhat desperate manner.

Chris said, “Can’t we tell Darkness and Aqua and the others about this and ask them to hide me?”

"Chris, please calm down and think about it. Those guys won't be blinded by money, can you believe it?"

"what--"

"Even Wiz, who is the epitome of a good guy, is ready to drug us for a million Eris!"

What Kobayashi said makes sense.

Wiz, who had returned at some point, said awkwardly, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I was bewildered by the devil by accident, please forgive me... wuwu..."

"Well, let's put that aside for now. If I think about it this way, there is no one I can trust in this city right now."

Chris couldn't help but complain.

After all, it was one million eris, and no one could refuse it, and no one could believe it. Except—

"Except for each other."

Xiaolin sighed slightly.

For some reason, Chris's mood suddenly became very good. She asked with a smile: "You mean, can I trust you?"

"of course!"

There was no hesitation in answering.

"Hmm...I see...Hehe."

Seeing Chris so happy, Xiaolin quickly said: "I will protect Chris!"

"Protect what? Are you going to protect me?"

"Oh, of course. It's all because I followed Chris around that this happened."

"Oh, what a surprise. I didn't expect you to be so responsible."

Chris smiled.

Xiao Lin crossed his arms and said, "Well, this is all my fault. And once I find the person who issued the task without authorization, I will hold him accountable to the end!"

"Haha, then I'll look forward to it."

Chris was delighted.

Just when the two were about to leave Wiz's magic tool shop and find another place to hide, the door of the shop suddenly opened.

"welcome!"

“——Ah, I found it!”

It’s Chis from Dust Squad. This guy actually came to see me!

"This is bad. We've been discovered! Run away quickly, Chris!"

"Ah, Mr. Kobayashi, go out the back door!"

"Thanks Wiz!"

"Ahahaha, the atmosphere seems to be getting more lively!"

When Kobayashi saw someone coming over, his face changed. He grabbed the wrist of Chris, who was smiling and had no sense of crisis at all, and then ran out of the store from the back door in a hurry under Wiz's command.

"Wait, don't run!"

Of course, Chis hurried after him, and his pursuit attracted the attention of others, who soon saw Kobayashi and Chris, who was with him, catching up with him.

"Stop! Don't run! One million eris are mine!"

"not mine!"

"Stop now, don't try to run!"

Countless adventurers were chasing after them. When Xiaolin saw the huge group of people, his face turned pale.

“Ehhhhhhhh————, what’s going on, such a large number of people!?”

"Oh my, everyone has a scary expression on their face as if they are trying their best."

Chris said this in a light-hearted tone.

Xiaolin, who was holding her hand, gnashed his teeth and said, "Damn it, are all the people in this town obsessed with money and greed?"

“That’s true. If you can get a bounty of one million eris for a mission that doesn’t put your life in danger, anyone would risk their life. And if I wasn’t the person involved, I would definitely participate.”

"That's it."

Kobayashi also deeply agreed with Chris's words.

Put yourself in his shoes. If that person wasn't Chris... no, if the person who issued the task wasn't himself, then he would definitely participate.

"Fireball!"

"Ah, you actually used magic, isn't that too despicable!?"

"Restraint!"

“Who will fall for it?”

Xiao Lin dodged several magic spells that came towards him. If he was hit, he would definitely be captured directly, so he showed his extraordinary dodging skills, which made the people behind him exclaim. Humph, didn't expect it, I'm an expert at running away!

"I say, Xiaolin." Chris looked at the large group of people behind him and said with some concern: "Anyway, if we want to get rid of them all, there are too many people."

"I know! I'm trying to find a solution now!"

"Hurry up, hurry up, or you'll be caught up."

Is this guy enjoying this too?

Kobayashi always feels that Chris has no sense of crisis at all.

No, not this!
Think about it! Think about it! What should I do at this time? It is impossible to kill them all like this, and if I stop, I will be surrounded by them and there is no way to escape... What should I do?
Got it!

Kobayashi suddenly had an idea and raised one hand behind him and used magic.

"Water spray!"

"——Humph, this kind of elementary magic can't stop us anyway..."

"Freezing!"

"Ouch! The ground is frozen and I can't move my feet!"

“Hey, what are you doing…Ahh, what is this? It’s too slippery to move forward!”

The leading adventurer was unable to move, and the same could be said of the adventurers behind him.
