I like traveling the most

Sato Kazuma and others thought that they could live in the royal palace after accepting the mission to arrest the chivalrous thief.

However, they miscalculated.

The chivalrous thief would not or dared not come to the royal palace, so Aqua and Sato Kazuma's dream of catching the chivalrous thief was quietly shattered.

Several people were driven away by Kureya and Rain.

They were asked to live in the homes of nobles who might be robbed, and the Knights and guards would provide support and surveillance.

The noble that Sato Kazuma first decided to live with was the noble who generously bought a large number of his goods, and he also stated many times at the banquet that "it doesn't matter whether it's a chivalrous thief or not, I just want to do my part for the security of the royal capital, and everyone has the responsibility to protect the security of the royal capital."

Such touching remarks and such admirable awareness made Sato Kazuma immediately decide to live in the noble's mansion.

Although Sato Kazuma said that he gave them the Death Killer because of his generosity and that he didn't need to pay any extra money, the noble still looked reluctant and even wanted to drive them away.

The reason was simple.

If Sato Kazuma moved in, wouldn't it mean that he was a noble with a bad reputation like the other nobles who were stolen?

...Although he did have a bad reputation in the capital, this was the order of the royal family after all. As a noble, he couldn't refuse and had to reluctantly agree to entertain everyone.

He didn't deliberately make things difficult for them. Perhaps because of the pressure from the royal family, the noble still prepared four rooms for them to live in.

Two people in one room.

Kobayashi and Ryu, Aqua and Darkness, Huihui and Yunyun.

As for the extra Sato Kazuma, he lived alone in one room. However, giving the largest guest room to Sato Kazuma was a compensation for his isolation.

Kobayashi suggested that he live in the same room with him. After all, Ryuko didn't need to rest or sleep, and she could be on guard at night. But Sato Kazuma politely refused and said that he would contribute to the work he had taken on.

In fact, the mind-reading ability soon discovered that he was afraid of being seen at night.

At night.

After dinner, everyone gathered together and began to discuss how to arrest the chivalrous thief.

The chivalrous thief who caused heated discussions on the streets seemed to be a lone criminal. It was said that he specialized in breaking into the homes of nobles with particularly bad reputations to steal things and distribute the stolen money to orphanages. He was a typical chivalrous thief. Moreover, according to the witnesses who barely saw him, the chivalrous thief seemed to be a very good handsome man.

What the hell is a handsome man?

Does it mean that Eris's breasts are padded? The kind goddess will definitely cry after hearing this.

Darkness said with a sad face: "There is no doubt that the chivalrous thief's actions are crimes, and this is not something to be praised. But... to be honest, I really have no interest in catching the legendary chivalrous thief."

"Having said that, a thief is still a thief. I hate handsome men who claim to be allies of the weak and save civilians in need the most."

Sato Kazuma said firmly.

I don't understand whether he really hates thieves, or because he is protecting his own guests at this time, or -

"What's wrong with the handsome man?"

The first person to scold him was Huihui. She rolled her eyes and said unhappily: "Do you have a problem with handsome men? If you have any knots in your heart, say it out to make everyone laugh. It's rare for you to be so inferior."

"Hey, you guy--!"

Sato Kazuma was like a cat whose feet were stepped on, and his fur was completely blown up, but before he could get angry, Ryu Zi's venomous tongue followed.

"It's okay, Mr. Sato. You look like someone who can rest assured that his wife will not cheat on him if his husband is away on a business trip for two and a half years, so your partner will be very confident in you. This is one of your few advantages."

"Hiss——"

Sato Kazuma couldn't figure out whether Ryu was complimenting or being sarcastic, but in this way, Huihui's ridicule seemed like child's play, and his anger subsided.

Only Aqua became serious and smiled gently at him: "You, lost NEET, don't blame yourself too much. It's the society's fault that you can't work hard, it's the environment's fault that you have a bad personality, it's the society's fault that you can't work hard, and it's the genes' fault that you don't look good. Don't blame yourself, just put the blame on others."

"What a joke! I'm not that self-abased, okay! Forget about my appearance, but in terms of personality... Hey, don't be like this, why are you all smiling so subtly! Besides, my appearance is at least within the standard value, okay! Don't... Hey, I'm your boss, is it okay to target me like this?!"

The more gently they treated him, the more uncomfortable this evil scumbag felt. He shouted that he would deduct money and not give him any reward, but he still couldn't stop his companions from mourning for him.

"Don't, don't do that... Senior Kobayashi! Look at them!"

"Don't worry, Sato-kun. Actually, there are women who like your style... Among tens of thousands of people, there will always be one or two with poor eyesight."

"Even Senior Kobayashi said that?! That's enough! Don't look at me with such sympathetic eyes!!"

Sato Kazuma completely collapsed.

Then he ran away crying and holding his head, leaving the agreed battle plan to arrest the chivalrous thief behind. The team members looked helplessly at their scum companions with poor psychological endurance and had to put the plan on hold for the time being.

But after Aqua and the others left, Sato Kazuma ran back in a hurry and said that he had already made a plan.

"So, what's the plan?"

"I heard that the thief seems to be active from late at night to early morning. Based on my intuition, this mansion will be his next target. Miss Liuzi doesn't need to rest at night, so I want to ask you to patrol at night. , and I am setting up traps in the mansion and looking for possible routes for the thief to enter. "

It's quite reasonable, and it plays the role of Liu Zi to a certain extent.

Is it really possible to just rely on intuition?

The next day, Sato Kazuma began to wander around the mansion. Daytime was their free time. Both they and the righteous thief understood how stupid it was to do anything during the day, so he had free time to patrol. Pretending to be at work.

Specifically, it is to investigate the routes and destinations where the thief may sneak in, and to simulate the thief's route, and he doesn't know what he is groping for little by little.

In the eyes of others, he looks more like a thief who comes to touch someone.

During the day, there was free time. Xiao Lin returned to the palace to teach Princess Alice, and Liu Zi was with him.

I don’t know if the two of them are familiar with each other. Princess Alice would sometimes spit out a few venomous words from time to time, and then asked Xiaolin if he liked being treated with such venomous remarks.

How does this look like an orthodox beautiful girl?

It's day and night defense, but I didn't expect that it would be difficult to guard against house thieves.

Sato Kazuma was not allowed to lead the pure and innocent Princess Alice into corruption, but instead she was tainted by a maid lady with a vicious tongue that could be called cute.

He likes venomous tongue, but he likes venomous tongue in another sense. If one day he is venomous by the innocent-looking Princess Alice...

No, no, no, you will be arrested.

Xiao Lin shook his head like an egg yolk, but for some reason the more he shook it, the yellower it became.

By the way, Kurea and Lei Yin also have a good relationship with Liu Zi. Apparently Sato Kazuma had a sword held to his throat when he said "you guy", but Liu Zi's venomous tongue was not punished by the two guards and the relationship became even better.

I really don’t understand how female friendships arise.

In the evening, Xiao Lin left the palace.

When he returned to the noble mansion, the comfortable smile on his face quickly became distorted. I saw——

"Wait a minute! Don't underestimate the goddess of water! No one can deceive me when it comes to wine! There is more expensive wine in the study, right? Come on, get that wine!"

"——At this time, my explosion magic became powerful, and the poor Demon King Army leader Hans was shattered to pieces! Also, when I was in the Red Demon, I was quite active, even the next leader of the Red Demon clan next to me Not as dazzling as me, right?"

"Ms. Maid, Miss Maid - please give me a massage as usual! Ah, I want to eat white yak sukiyaki for dinner today. Also, I have reserved a king-sized bed and soft and fluffy down Once it’s delivered, move it to my room and set it up——”

A week has passed since I accepted the mission to arrest the righteous thief.

Aqua, Megumin, Sato Kazuma, the three of them completely regarded this mansion as their own home, and the unceremonious way they ordered the maids was really a headache.

The biggest headache was the noble who allowed them to live here. He looked at Darkness, the only noble in the team, with a constipated expression, and didn't say anything but just watched silently. Feeling the pressure, Darkness said on the spot that they would move out tomorrow.

"Is my intuition wrong?"

Sato Kazuma kept mumbling this sentence all night long.

It's a bit funny to conclude that this mansion will be stolen based on intuition alone. No, no, no, you have to know that there is a female detective (derogatory meaning) who solves cases based on intuition. Sato Kazuma is nothing compared to that person.

However, what Kobayashi never expected was that sometimes Sato Kazuma's intuition was so exaggerated.

That night.

Xiao Lin hugged Liu Zi and fell asleep. He took a good rest in line with the principle of not working hard on this commission, but Liu Zi, who didn't need to sleep, easily discovered the 'guest' who had entered the mansion and woke Xiao Lin up.

"Master Xiaolin, I heard a noise in the kitchen."

"Isn't it Aqua secretly looking for a drink at night?"

"No, the people in the kitchen who heard the footsteps were Mr. Sato and an unknown woman. There seemed to be some friction between the two."

"friction?"

It was probably Eris who came to steal something. Really, Eldap was obviously in jail, and it was other nobles who entertained them, but this mansion was actually targeted by the goddess. How coincidence is it?

Warm and fragrant nephrite embraces her in her arms.

Xiao Lin really wanted to ignore them and continue to sleep with Liu Zi in his arms, but he didn't know what trouble those two guys would cause next. Besides, he was the strongest in the team, so it would be unreasonable for him not to be there, as his companions would probably find something unusual. .

After thinking about it, I decided to go take a look.

Quietly, she and Liu Zi came to the kitchen. Kobayashi's eyes have night vision, and he clearly saw Sato Kazuma fighting with a certain woman. Both his movements and attacks were very obscene.

This guy must have known that the righteous thief was a woman, so he did it on purpose. Just look at the slutty smile on his face.

"——Okay, just obey! Hahahaha, you have alarmed the thieves in the world, now you have kicked the iron plate! Forget about other cats and dogs, I have been dealing with the cadres of the Demon King's Army all the way up to this point. Don't think you can escape. Out of my hand!"

"Stop! Wait, wait... No, this voice, could it be that you are Kazuma? And, hey, you are grabbing a very bad place now, okay!"

Soon, the righteous thief was subdued.

To be precise, he was forced to submit under the caress of Sato Kazuma's lewd fingers.

"This voice, you..."

"It's me! Darkness's good friend also taught you skills!"

It's Chris!

Sato Kazuma lit the lighter he got from Wiz's shop, and used the weak firelight to see clearly the face of the woman he had subdued. It was Chris who had taught him skills and was a good friend of Darkness!

At this time, the righteous thief was squatting on the ground, holding his shoulders tightly with his hands and tears in his eyes.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

"There's nothing I can do, because I thought you were a thief. And I don't have the skills to arrest people. Even if I go to court, I'm confident I can win."

This scumbag dared to touch Chris so unscrupulously just because he was sure that he would win even if he was sued.

At this time, Chris was wearing black underpants and a brown shirt, and his mouth and lower half of his face were covered with black cloth. This dressing showed that——

"Chris is the legendary righteous thief!"

"Correct answer."

Xiao Lin walked in from the door calmly.

The appearance of the third...fourth person made the men and women who had just been having a heated fight tense up, but they relaxed again when they saw the coming person.

"Don't scare me, Senior Xiaolin."

Sato Kazuma did not doubt how Xiaolin knew that a thief had broken in. Not to mention Xiaolin's countless skills, even Liu Zi had many magical abilities that he was not aware of.

But soon he realized a problem.

"Senior Xiaolin, you already knew that the righteous thief was Chris?!"

"That's it."

Xiaolin did not deny it, and at the same time he reminded: "Sato-kun, do you remember that there was a report in the neighboring town that a noble's treasure was stolen? (It was in Chapter 340) In fact, that was also done by Chris, and in I knew it when Axel was there.”

"That's why Senior Xiaolin doesn't want to accept this commission? No wonder!"

Sato Kazuma said in sudden realization.

Soon, he complained to Xiao Lin again: "Since senior knows, I should have told you earlier. In this case, I will not be in the limelight and forcefully accept this task!"

"Huh? That's weird. I thought Sato-kun would just treat Chris as a thief and send him to the security department."

"I have that kind of idea. But senior Xiaolin is like this, so there must be something hidden."

Was it not Chris but Xiaolin who believed it?

This kind of unconditional trust is really touching.

The same was true for Chris. She said, "Well...Kazuma, actually..."

"Ahhh, I don't want to hear it!"

Sato Kazuma covered his ears and said: "Let's go! Although I don't know what the secret is, I can predict that it will definitely be very troublesome! By the way, use the binding skill on me when you leave, so that I have an excuse to pretend that I was imprisoned by accident, just say that the righteous thief had already escaped when I came here, that’s fine!”

It has to be said that his mind is very fast, and he found an escape route for everyone in just a few words.

Chris wanted to say something else, but after hearing the heavy footsteps outside the door, he had no choice but to use the binding skill as Sato Kazuma said. Then he jumped out of the kitchen window, fled the mansion quickly, and soon disappeared into the night.

The belated companions laughed at Sato Kazuma after seeing him being tied up like a rice dumpling. Even Kobayashi, who had not caught the righteous thief, was also ridiculed by Aqua and Megumin.

After all, they are theoretically competitors in apprehending the righteous thief, and they are happy to undermine their opponent's self-confidence.

In this way, Kobayashi and Sato Kazuma successfully protected the righteous thief Chris when their reputations declined.
