I like traveling the most

Aqua, who failed in her speech, cried non-stop after returning to the hotel. No, I have been crying since I came to this town.

"Xiao Lin...wahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"

"Okay, okay, don't be sad anymore."

Xiao Lin was comforting the stupid goddess. He knew best the pain of wanting to prove himself but not being recognized.

But this is the drawback of strong faith.

Aqua, the goddess of water, has become the totem and spiritual pillar of this town. Even the purest person (Aqua) will not be accepted by the Axis believers, because in their eyes, there is no doubt that she is Blasphemy and defilement.

Not long after, Sato and Shinji also came back.

Seeing Aqua crying and Kobayashi helpless to comfort her, he rarely said anything, because it was impossible to be unconscious in such a big commotion in the town.

Presumably, when Aqua was giving a speech above, Sato and Shinji were watching from below.

"Are you giving up?"

"How could you give up! Is there something wrong with your brain?"

"Why are you angry at me!"

Sato Kazuma, who had good intentions and was treated as a fool, gave the stupid goddess a look of displeasure.

Aqua raised her face from crying until her eyes were swollen and said: "Anyway, there are indeed people engaged in sabotage in this town. Several of the hot springs I have been to have been seriously polluted. If someone bathes in that Planting hot springs will definitely make you sick.”

"Aqua's only reliable ability is her ability as a priest. Since she said so, it should be true. But now even the identity of the prisoner cannot be locked. In the current situation, we There is absolutely nothing we can do.”

"That's right, let's report it to the Adventurer's Guild and the Hot Spring Management Association, and then we can only leave it to them."

Darkness and Megumin suggested.

Aqua gritted her teeth unwillingly.

The matter was related to the religious order she believed in, and she really wanted to solve it herself, but those people didn't believe her at all, and she was treated like that.

"If this continues, my lovely believer will..."

The tearful idiot goddess grabbed the edge of the table with all her strength.

There's really nothing you can do against her.

After all, this is the result of self-indulgence.

Xiao Lin said: "My eyes should be able to detect something strange. If there is any suspicious person, I will tell you."

Sato Kazuma echoed: "I will help you tomorrow. But on the other hand, don't get into a situation where you have to fight... No, it doesn't matter even if you fight. Anyway, with Kobayashi-senpai here, there is nothing to be afraid of." of?"

"Hey, don't blame me for all your troubles."

"But the others are of no use at all."

Seeing that the two people who were quarreling with each other agreed to help, Aqua's face regained its vitality.

the next day.

Early in the morning, a group of people except Wiz went to the Adventurer's Guild in this town.

The Lich Girl stayed as a liaison.

The guild has been asked to collect intelligence everywhere and contact them if there is any news, so there must be someone the guild can contact.

Youyou worriedly said: "But even if we find the criminal, what should we do? Even if we find the suspicious person, if we can't catch him when he mixes poison into the hot spring, we won't be able to arrest him."

What she said was correct, but she already had a clue as to who the culprit was.

It must have been the man with dark skin and brown hair who showed up at the hotel. After all, neither the elder sister nor the man showed up at the hotel.

"Senior Xiaolin..."

"My eyes are searching with all their might."

The symbol on his forehead kept shining.

Xiaolin's thoughts were the same as Sato Kazuma's, and even much faster than him.

In fact, I already knew that the plump-chested big sister, Warback, had left the hotel last night.

It's not that I intend to go to the night raid to do such bad things, but I want to ask the other party why. She clearly told her that someone is looking for her and she is her companion. Normally, I heard that the little loli is so hard-working and hard-working, and she shouldn't see her. Just catching up on old times, why did you turn around and run away? !

I felt bad all of a sudden.

"Hmph, don't worry, Yoyo. I have already taken action to find the prisoner."

Aqua, who rarely used her brain, puffed out her chest and said:

"Listen, the prisoner must have been to the hot springs several times on the same day. Because if you want to poison, it is most convenient to sneak in as a guest. So I asked several hot spring hotels and asked them to observe what they were like. guests, and ask them to remember the characteristics of the guests, and ask them to fill in the questionnaire one by one.”

"You are really trying your best... No, it couldn't be the method taught to you by Senior Xiaolin, right?"

"Aqua came up with it herself."

"Liar! Is she really a genius?"

Hearing what Xiaolin said, Sato Kazuma was dumbfounded on the spot.

It seems that she really loves her followers, and her originally flooded mind is surprisingly clear-headed. It would be nice if she could be so dedicated in normal times, and he wouldn't have to worry so much.

"That's it. No matter how much a guest likes hot springs, it shouldn't be possible for them to frequently go to several different hot springs in one day. As long as the characteristics of the guests are combined, the suspect can be identified through the amount of witness information."

"And if there was any commotion at the hotel where our targeted target appeared, we can be sure that he is indeed the prisoner."

Megumin and Darkness, who learned to draw inferences from one instance, were extremely impressed.

Seriously.

If only she behaved like this normally.

Aqua said proudly: "That's it! Okay, let's go to the hotels I've visited to collect questionnaires!"

They were surprised by the idiot goddess's exaggerated abilities. At the same time, everyone went to various hotels to collect the questionnaires that were sent out. Then they gathered in the park in the town, placed the questionnaires on the benches, and began to conduct statistics.

"The results of the questionnaire are out!"

After unremitting efforts, they finally found the prisoner!

"Let me take a look... the people who frequent hot spring hotels are characterized by... women with aqua hair and eyes, wearing light blue feathers... It turns out that the culprit is you!"

These characteristics combined together, doesn’t it mean Aqua? !

The stupid goddess quickly retorted: "No! I did go to many hot springs, but that was for purification! Looking at the questionnaires of hotels where problems have occurred, the characteristics of the last guest who entered should be written on them. People are the most suspicious!”

With suspicious eyes, he checked according to Aqua's instructions and looked at the characteristics of the last guest who entered.

"A woman with aqua hair and eyes ran in and caused trouble, turning the hot spring into hot water... Aqua, she said it wasn't you!"

"Why! This crappy questionnaire is of no use at all!"

Aqua was so angry that she wanted to tear up the questionnaire. But in the eyes of outsiders, her actions mostly suggested that she wanted to destroy evidence.

"Wait, Aqua."

Megumin stopped her, pointed to another column on the questionnaire and said, "This man with short brown hair and dark skin appears in various hot springs second only to Aqua. Don't you think it's strange?"

"Is it really this guy..."

Taking the questionnaire from Megumin, Sato Kazuma sighed naturally.

"Wait a minute, why does Kazuma know?"

"Actually, when I first came to town, I happened to hear what he said in the hotel bath. As a result, this hateful cult was finished..."

"Why didn't you say something so important earlier!"

"Whatever. Wow! What do you want to do!"

Hearing what he said, Aqua grabbed his neck. If he had known about this earlier, he wouldn't have had to put in so much effort.

Sato Kazuma spat out unhappily: "Damn it, let go! How could I take the initiative to intervene in such a troublesome matter! Besides, Kobayashi-senpai didn't care about it, so why did he just yell at me!"

"Xiao Lin... yes, he has his own considerations! As for the idiot Kazuma, I don't think you think about the long term."

"Isn't that simply differential treatment?"

The man who believed that doing more was better than doing less finally got his comeuppance. In fact, it was to be expected that he would be denounced by his companions. What was unacceptable was that he was the only one to be blamed. Why!

Aqua turned her head: "Xiaolin, if you knew it, why didn't you stop it? There must be some special reason, right?"

"Hmm...find it troublesome?"

"Whoa, ah, ah---I said it, you said it!"

This answer made the stupid goddess break down and cry on the spot.

Xiao Lin didn't want to do this, but he was a little angry after being tortured by the Axis Cult. Especially when the good reputation he earned outside was ruined by these guys, what if they weren't allowed to accept some punishment? OK?

That’s why it’s so laissez-faire.

It has nothing to do with the Demon King's army cadres or whether it will affect other people. It's just to make this town suffer.

Of course, the town's hot springs are turned into holy water.

You see, isn’t the idiot goddess working very hard during this period?

It's a pity that he couldn't explain what he was thinking, which caused his prestige in the team to decline.

Based on the characteristics written on the questionnaire and Sato Kazuma's testimony, Aqua drew a portrait of the man, and it was so completed that it was almost the same as a photo.

Then the group came to the Adventurer's Guild again, hoping that the guild would arrest this man.

but……

"We cannot accept your sudden request. You said you happened to hear it when you were passing by. Based on this one-sided statement, it may be difficult to arrest this person. If he has performed well in this town for a long time, Forget about adventurers with high credibility, but we are not familiar with you, so we cannot unconditionally trust your testimony. If there is no more definite evidence, I am afraid..."

The counter staff looked embarrassed.

Ultimately, there is still a lack of substantive evidence.

As Yuyou said, if the prisoner is not caught on the spot and poisoned, there is no way to prove that the other party is the criminal.

Moreover, these guys with unknown origins come up and say that they want to arrest others, so they can only be believed.

At this time, Aqua put her face in front of the guild counter staff and said: "Since you live in this town, it means that you are also an Axis believer? Look carefully at my face. Do you think you have seen it somewhere? I?"

The stupid goddess tried to brush her face again.

But has she forgotten that someone will stone her if she proves herself to the goddess?

"I'm not an Axis cultist." The counter clerk explained, and then recalled: "After you said that, it seems that I have seen this face before... Ah, you are the second person in the flower street store. Red card!”

"No! Don't be afraid of being punished by God! I have never worked in a vulgar store like that! There is also a second red card, which makes me feel even more uncomfortable!"

Aqua yelled angrily.

Sato Kazuma came up and asked in a low voice: "About the issue of Flower Street, I hope you can tell me in detail. Of course, it is paid."

"I'd be happy to tell you, guest."

The two of them laughed extremely obscenely.

By the way, is Flower Street that attractive?

Although he has never been there, Xiaolin thinks that the succubus shop is more attractive. After all, that shop is one that even the devil often visits.

"Sato-kun."

"Ahem, sorry."

Sato Kazuma coughed lightly, gestured to Kobayashi with his eyes, and then pushed Darkness next to him while the others were confused.

"Do you know who this lady is?"

His tone was condescending when he opened his mouth.

Then, without giving him a chance to speak, he introduced in a dogged tone: "This is a well-known noble known as [Kingdom's Blade], the daughter of the Dustinis family! Dustinis Ford Lalatina Miss! It’s so rude to treat her as an adventurer with unknown origins!”

"Eh, eh——" X2

Darkness exclaimed along with the counter clerk.

Really, is that the idea?

Since the other party is not an Axis cultist, then the title of the Kingdom's noble is more useful than the Water Goddess.

Sato Kazuma's mind is running very fast!

Xiaolin took advantage of the situation and said: "Miss, please take out the token of the Dustinis family and let this employee who can't turn his head take a good look at it."

"Even, even Xiaolin is like this... wuwu, I really don't want to change my family's name because of this kind of thing..."

Maybe he didn't want to take advantage of the power of the nobles.

Darkness shrank up embarrassedly and took out the necklace from her arms.

"That, that's...! I'm rude, I'm going to arrest this man immediately!"

The effect of the necklace was extremely powerful, and the counter staff quickly took the portrait from Aqua's hand.

When Aqua saw it, she shouted: "As expected of Darkness, the power of the nobles must be abused like this, right?"

"Don't, don't say it so harshly!"

Darkness couldn't accept it.

She likes men who abuse aristocratic power, not herself, and it is normal for her to feel uncomfortable.

The prepared counter staff kept bowing and said: "Then, I have followed Miss Dustinis's instructions and completed the procedures for arresting this man. If any information is found, I will contact the hotel where you are staying."

"Okay, okay, please." Darkness shrank.

Before Xiaolin left, he turned to the counter staff and said, "You can report the amount of money you spent to the Dustinis family, so please do it as soon as possible."

"——?!"

Darkness's eyes widened.

Return to the hotel.

"You guy! What do you want, this guy?!"

Darkness couldn't help but get angry at Sato Kazuma.

Exposing her identity and abusing her power naturally made the upright female knight dissatisfied.

"Okay, okay, it's my fault." Sato Kazuma showed no intention of repenting and said perfunctorily: "Otherwise, it's okay. The next time you need to abuse your power, senior Kobayashi will do it."

"Huh?"

"Anyway, there's no difference between you and him."

"W-what are you talking about...!"

Darkness blushed.

This sentence is undoubtedly saying that he has known the relationship between Xiao Lin and himself for a long time, so he said there is no difference.

"Hey, why are you so excited?" Sato Kazuma said in surprise: "I said that because you didn't like it. Senior Xiaolin is the leader of the team, and he will be detained at Dustinis' house in the end no matter what. On the head, there is no difference between what he uses and what you use."

"Yes, that's right."

"What else can we do?"

Seeing the relaxed look of the perverted female knight, the keen Sato Kazuma felt that something was wrong.

"...Hey, you and Senior Xiaolin shouldn't be hiding anything from us."

"No, no! There is no such thing!"

Darkness's excuse was very pale.

At this moment, Aqua ran over to come to the rescue. She was holding clay in her hands, her dexterous hands were constantly moving, and she seemed to be making something with concentration.

It immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"Aqua, what are you doing?"

"This? This... I made it after what Darkness just showed off. Look, it's exactly the same, right? As long as I have this, I can always insist that I am a child of the Darkness family. , you can do whatever you want."

"Stop it!"

"Uh-huh--"

Darkness grabbed it and threw the clay out, causing the stupid goddess to scream.
