I like traveling the most

"A-Ku-Ya, sit right down——!"

Under Xiao Lin's angry shouting, the three-court trial officially opened. ♦♦  ♦♦

Sitting in the main seat is Kobayashi, Darkness is on the left, and Megumin is on the right. Super expensive high-end bubble wine is placed in the center, while Aqua is kneeling at the bottom for interrogation.

Seeing her confused and aggrieved expression when she was suddenly made difficult, Xiaolin didn't have the slightest sympathy, because if she hadn't stolen the noble's bubble wine, Sato Kazuma would not have been implicated and thrown into prison.

Xiao Lin was the first to ask: "Tell me, why did you steal bubble wine?"

"No! No! I didn't steal bubble wine. I definitely didn't steal bubble wine!" Aqua heard that she was being slandered and shook her head anxiously to avenge herself.

Xiao Lin subconsciously didn't believe it.

After all, she had a criminal record before. In order to drink bubble wine, she even used Xiao Lin's name to go to the guild to get credit. Now it is not impossible to extend it to stealing wine.

Even if the other party is a goddess, he still believes that the stupid goddess can do this.

"You...!"

"Wait, Xiaolin."

Darkness reached out to stop Xiaolin and said, "Now is not the time to question Aqua. The top priority is to rescue Kazuma from prison, isn't it?"

"...You're right."

Xiao Lin rubbed his eyebrows.

In fact, he is not afraid of the nobles. Even if a noble wants to put pressure, Darkness can calm him down.

But on the one hand, Darkness didn't want to be exposed, and on the other hand, if he got involved too much with the nobles, he would attract attention and be constrained, and it would be impossible to live a free life after that.

Due to various factors, he hates contact with nobles and has been trying to avoid such things.

"What, what happened to idiot Kazuma?"

Aqua didn't know yet, but when she heard that something happened to Kazuma Sato, she quickly asked.

Kobayashi said angrily: "Because of the lost bottle of high-end bubble wine, Mr. Sato was arrested by the guards and put in prison!"

"Pffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffcioushyhyyyyyy true to actually be caught in prison for this matter? It's really funny."

After hearing the explanation, instead of changing her guilty mind, Aqua covered her mouth and laughed at Sato Kazuma.

"Do you understand whose fault it is?" Xiao Lin rolled his eyes at her.

I really can’t figure out her brain circuit. If I want to see Sato Kazuma make a fool of myself and be wronged, there’s no need to go to this extent.

Aqua puffed up her chest and said proudly: "I want to solemnly state that this bottle of high-end bubble wine was not stolen by me, but was my mission reward! Didn't I say before that I received a designated mission?"

"...Huh? What is going on? Tell us what happened quickly." Xiao Lin asked.

"actually……"

Aqua received a commission yesterday. She said that the commissioned mission was kept secret for the time being, but in fact the content of the mission was that the captain of the guard asked her to cast fire magic on the town's martial arts training ground. She said it was to create a little chaos and make the guards a little nervous. .

Before the Headless Horseman's attack, the town's guards performed poorly.

So the guard captain wanted to tell them that even though Axel is a remote novice village, there will still be strong enemies coming, and it will definitely not work if they continue to slack off.

So I asked Aqua.

"The reward is not money, but bubble wine? Aqua, you must have been deceived. I don't know what the commission is, but it seems strange that the reward is bubble wine."

Megumin looked at her worriedly, as if she was worried about the other person's intelligence.

Xiaolin wanted to tell her that there was no need to worry at all, because Aqua's intelligence was pitifully low.

Wait, something seems wrong.

"Hey, Aqua, you said you used fire magic on the martial arts training ground. Could it be..."

"Yes! It's planet fire!"

"Is it you?!"

Planet Fire is an intermediate fire magic. If you use it, the magical light will rise into the sky like fireworks and then explode.

In other words!

"Are you provoking Megumin?!"

It was all because of her magic that Megumin was thinking about comparison, and then in order not to disturb Kazuma, he accompanied Megumin to release the explosion magic, and then in order to prevent Megumin from being sad, she blurted out perverted remarks, which was overheard by the guards. He was arrested on the spot.

Besides, you are a goddess of water, why would you release fire magic? It’s too strange!

It's all Aqua's fault!

"Eh?...Eh-?!!!"

Aqua screamed in confusion.

She didn't mean to provoke Megumin at all, she just completed the commission and cast an intermediate magic. Why did it turn into a provocation?

"Damn it, you stupid goddess!"

Xiao Lin held his head and was extremely upset.

He was wrong, he was really wrong. Aqua should not have been allowed to complete the mission by herself in the first place.

If he had followed, Aqua would not have taken the bubble wine, Megumin would not have thought about releasing magic, he would not have been arrested on the spot, and Sato Kazuma would not have been implicated and thrown into jail.

Idiot goddesses are not able to complete tasks smoothly like Sato Kazuma. Every time they get into trouble, they end up wiping their butts.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

Aqua threw herself into Xiao Lin's arms and cried aggrievedly. It was so strange that she still had to be scolded even though she had made no mistake.

By the way, what is it like to cry into the arms of the person who makes you cry every time?

But it's not enough if he doesn't comfort her.

The goddess is in a flood, and no one can hold it back.

"Xiaolin, it's better not to blame Aqua too much. Let's think about what to do now." Darkness once again stepped forward to push the topic while restraining Aqua from crying.

The solution to the problem is simple, just return the bubble wine.

According to Aqua, this bottle of high-end bubble wine was given as a reward by the guard captain, so at a glance, it was obvious that the other party made a mistake and mistakenly took the expensive bubble wine as reward.

So as long as you say yes, it's fine.

But……

"This bottle of bubble wine has been opened, and it's not even half full." Xiao Lin covered his forehead in pain.

When he was in prison, he inquired about it and found out that the noble valued this bottle of high-end bubble wine, otherwise he would not have issued a wanted order because it was necessary to track down the murderer and hold him accountable.

Therefore, in this case, the guard captain is likely to defend himself by denying that it is his fault.

"Aqua, you didn't go to the guild for notarization, did you?"

"……No.

"I guess so!"

Aqua's embarrassed expression made Xiaolin's heart freeze.

Not going to the Adventurer's Guild for notarization means there is no evidence. The other party can completely deny that the incident was his fault in order to protect themselves, so it is absolutely impossible for them to explain the reason.

As of now, there is only one way.

"Can I just buy another bottle?"

Xiaolin murmured.

The way to solve the problem is very simple. Since this bottle of high-end bubble wine has been drunk, just buy another bottle to compensate the other party. At the same time, explain the reason for the matter. When the other party gets the wine, he will know that it belongs to him. Problems, certainly not too much blame.

After all, the nature is completely different.

The problem is...

Xiaolin looked at the well-informed hidden noble lady in the team and asked anxiously: "Darkness, how much does this bottle of bubble wine cost?"

"Probably several hundred thousand Eris."

"It's actually hundreds of thousands of Eris?!...Eh, only a few hundred thousand Eris?!"

Xiao Lin was shocked twice in succession.

He was already prepared for a massive hemorrhage, but he didn't expect that this bottle of high-end bubble wine, which was so valued that even a wanted order was issued, only cost a few hundred thousand Eris.

I relaxed immediately.

"Did you make a mistake? The other nobles thought I couldn't afford it when they saw it! One more bottle! One for each person!"

Xiao Lin was extremely arrogant.

There is no way, money is so willful.

Hundreds of thousands of eris, 100 bottles are only tens of millions of eris, and Xiaolin's deposit of up to 200 million eris is completely justified.

"That's not the problem."

Darkness looked very solemn. She pointed to the logo on the bottle and said: "There are as many high-end bubble wines as stars, but each one is different. If this logo is true, then This bottle of wine is a dream within a dream, a masterpiece that even money can’t buy.”

"Eh?"

"Presumably that nobleman also spent a lot of effort to buy it. No wonder he would issue a wanted order in anger. If this is the reason, it makes sense."

"Eh?!!"

I didn’t expect it to be something that has a small chance of being bought even if you have money? !

According to Darkness, the price of this bottle of high-end bubble wine is indeed only worth a few hundred thousand eris, but as soon as it appears, it will be snapped up by the nobles. Its price has been raised to tens of millions of eris, and Still priceless.

"Damn! It's completely beyond expectations!"

Xiao Lin covered his forehead in pain.

Was Sato Kazuma going to be unjustly killed because of Aqua's fault? !

...Think about it carefully, why should you be nervous?

Even if Sato Kazuma is killed, he can be resurrected smoothly with Aqua around. There is nothing to be nervous about, right?

No, no, no, you can’t think like that!

Xiao Lin shook his head and shook this dangerous thought out of his mind.

If he treats his juniors as props that can be discarded in exchange for benefits, then his bottom line as a human being will be broken, and he will definitely do even more crazy things in the future.

So how to save Sato Kazuma?

Premium bubble wine, premium bubble wine, premium bubble wine...

Um?

Xiaolin raised his eyebrows and asked: "Darkness, you said that this bottle of high-end bubble wine is very rare. It is the kind of exquisite product that even if you have money, you can't buy it."

"...That's right." Darkness nodded.

"So--"

Since it is a rare product that is very difficult to obtain, I would not think of drinking it under normal circumstances. I would definitely treasure it or display it in a conspicuous place as a way to show off.

If that's the case, there's room for maneuver!

Xiaolin asked: "Akuya, are you confident that you can reseal the mouth of the bottle and restore it to its unopened state?"

"Of course, who do you think I am?!" Aqua puffed up her chest arrogantly.

"Goddess of chores, what's wrong?"

"Uh...!"

Ignoring the expression of the stupid goddess who is about to cry, Xiaolin has more important things to do.

Megumin asked strangely: "Xiaolin, what are you going to do?"

"Of course it's watering."

Xiao Lin's expression was a little sinister.

Question: Now that we know that the noble will not easily open this bottle of high-end sparkling wine, and the value of this bottle of wine is higher when collected, what should we do to avoid punishment?

——Of course, it is filled with water and pretends it is unopened new wine!

Just like some innocent X, it looks new on the outside, but in fact it has been filled with other things for a long time.

"Then let's have a blast!"

Xiao Lin called on everyone to help.

But in fact, they were just watching Aqua do it.

It must be said that her skills are extraordinary.

Xiao Lin thought, he didn't even blink, why was the wine bottle suddenly restored to its original unopened state?

This is amazing!

"Aqua, from now on I will give you the title of Goddess of Counterfeiting."

"Thank you for the compliment."

"Hey hey hey——" X2

The two Axis Cultists laughed darkly at each other. They seemed to have discovered the door to the new world. If they ran out of money in the future, this skill would probably be used.

Oh, this is not a good idea.

Xiaolin is a sunny boy with positive energy.

But Huihui suddenly showed a worried expression and said: "Xiao Lin, this bottle of wine will be drunk one day. If it is discovered, it will definitely think of us, and the crime will be pinned on our heads in the end."

"I have also thought of the situation you mentioned."

If it is fake, it is fake, and they will be the unlucky ones after being discovered.

"But as long as you put on the real thing before you are discovered, that's fine, isn't it?"

Xiao Lin smiled slyly.

This time the trouble came too suddenly, and they were not prepared at all. Next time they prepare to score points, they will definitely not be in such a hurry as now.

...No, there is no next time!

Seeing that his companion was still worried, he comforted him: "Don't worry, I'll let Wiz buy this high-end bubble wine as soon as possible, even if it means buying it at a higher price."

The longer this happens, the more problems it will cause.

So he would be very concerned about getting the wine as soon as possible, and then secretly put the wine back, thus subverting the situation.

Afterwards, the nobles did not know about it, and they would not be blamed. Both parties acted as if nothing had happened.

Perfect!

Just when Xiaolin was thinking this, he saw Sato Kazuma returning to the mansion with a bloated, ugly nobleman and a sturdy and powerful knight.

As for why their identities can be seen?

That starts with the glittering nouveau riche outfit, and the equipment of wearing armor with a sword at the waist.

"What, what should we do, Xiaolin! They are coming!"

"Don't panic! Just take this opportunity to return the wine and wash away Sato-kun's grievances."

Xiao Lin asked the team members to calm down.

It would be bad if you were too nervous and exposed your flaws.

Then, he showed his trademark fake smile and prepared to greet the coming nobles.

I thought the other party would get angry as soon as they came up, but I didn't expect...

"--sorry!

It's all because of my negligence that your team members were put in jail! "

The guard captain bowed and apologized to Xiao Lin and others with a very sincere attitude.

This made Xiao Lin stunned for a moment. He thought that the other party would clear up the relationship in order to save himself. Unexpectedly, the other party openly admitted his mistake.

On the contrary, he is a villain.

"No, no, no, this is not entirely your fault. It is also my fault that the high priest knew about it but did not tell it. I also apologize to you two on her behalf."

Xiao Lin also quickly turned around and bowed.

The other party's attitude was very good. Of course, he couldn't be rude and politely put the fault on his own side.

At the same time, take out the bottle of bubble wine.

Xiao Lin said: "It's just right. Let me return this bottle of wine to you. Let's just treat it as a small misunderstanding."

"No, no, it doesn't have to be like this."

The bloated and ugly nobleman quickly waved his hand and patted the knight's arm lovingly, saying: "I will naturally pay for the mistakes made by my guard captain. It's just a bottle of bubble wine... Although I care a lot, but for him I had no choice but to reluctantly give up my reputation, which was originally handed over to him just to enjoy it with him.”

That doting look in his eyes made people very uncomfortable.

Xiao Lin couldn't help but twist his body and subconsciously took a small step back.

The bloated and ugly nobleman added: "I came here just to convey this matter. I have canceled the wanted order, and I have also made compensation to this little brother to express my apology. There is no way, for the sake of my guard captain, I hope Don’t blame him too much.”

"How could it be? It's great that the misunderstanding can be resolved." Xiao Lin had a polite yet embarrassed smile on his face.

"That's it, let's go."

After saying that, the bloated and ugly noble took the guard captain's hand, and the two of them left together. The way they cuddle up to each other looks very intimate.

Although it seems impossible, but...

"Kazuma, I want to ask."

He turned to look at Sato Kazuma, who was still waving goodbye, and asked: "Is your piece of clothing that "looks very sexy and innocent" only for women?"

"That's right, but the strange thing is that the size of the clothes is a bit too big. Judging from the body shape, he is probably about the same as the guard captain. What's wrong, Kobayashi-senpai." Sato Kazuma didn't seem to notice anything yet.

"It's okay, you don't need to know."

Xiaolin was considerate and didn't let him think about messy things, and at the same time, he quickly threw himself into Aqua's arms.

"Aqua, purify me quickly!"
