I like traveling the most

Everyone else praised the masked thief, especially Kureya, who had always disliked Sato Kazuma and was about to become a little fangirl.

This made the scumbag Kazuma really want to show off, and his smile turned obscene.

Aqua asked strangely: "What's wrong with Kazuma? Why are you smiling like that? It's so disgusting."

Kureya also glared at him fiercely: "Really. What are you giggling about? What a pity. It's such a rare opportunity to arrest the righteous thief... Having said that, if you want to deal with the masked righteous thief, I don't think it would have done anything even if you were there.

Ah...what a pity. Why is that man doing such a thing as a thief? If he were not a criminal, I would definitely invite him home as a diner. I really hope to see him again one day..."

At the end of the sentence, the female knight's cheeks turned slightly red.

This was the first time I saw Kureya with such a feminine side, which made Sato Kazuma not sure whether he was belittling him or praising him.

Darkness's expression was quite subtle.

Xiao Lin scratched his head and said: "It doesn't matter if you pursue the masked thief who stirred up troubles in the royal capital, but please don't praise or praise in front of the nobles. If it arouses the indignation of those nobles, it may make those nobles angry. It’s very difficult to deal with a mask thief.”

"Well... Mr. Xiaolin is right."

"Although as a knight, I shouldn't have an affair, but since Her Highness Alice has decided not to pursue the blame, I will remain silent. Well, it's definitely not because I admire the masked thief. After all, I am a knight and I have my own position."

Lei Yin and Kureiya agreed simply, but they didn't mean what they said.

"That's right. Hurry up and post the reward."

Kurea, whose cheeks turned red, thought of her job, and she said loudly: "The bounties on the masked thief and the silver-haired thief must be raised to the highest level."

The highest level? Isn’t that the same bounty as the Demon King’s army cadres?

I thank you!

Hearing these words, Chris and Sato Kazuma couldn't help trembling. They were just insignificant thieves. How could He De raise the bounty to the highest level?

Darkness said cautiously: "Kureya, are you making a fuss out of a molehill? I don't think we should focus on these two little thieves."

"Little thief? What are you talking about, Sir Dustinius! Those two broke through the siege of the knights and easily defeated the Demon Sword Hero, His Majesty Kyoya Sword! Otherwise, it would be disrespectful to the strong. Respect!" Kureya's eyes lit up.

Arrest him if you worship him?

Kureia's behavior is inexplicably paranoid, and... the strong men you are talking about, are they two idiots who were so scared that they were trembling in the corner when they heard that their bounty was equal to that of the Demon King's army cadres?

"That's it! I'm going first!"

Kureya ran out of the palace in a hurry.

Sato Kazuma stretched out Erkan's hand, but he couldn't speak, so he could only watch the female knight leave silently.

Then Lei Yin said softly: "Ms. Aqua, Megumin, Yoyo, and Sir Dustinis, thank you all again for protecting Your Highness Alice last night. Because the thieves broke into the palace at night last night, they did not get enough Please rest, I am extremely sorry for the royal family’s poor hospitality. Please move to the restaurant, a sumptuous lunch has been prepared for you all.”

“A hearty lunch?!”

"I asked, is there any high-end bubble wine? Yes, there must be a bubble bar that is more advanced than the bottle of wine in my arms?!"

Megumin and Aqua's eyes lit up.

During these few days in the royal capital, they often attended banquets. The two of them were really eating and drinking, and those who didn't know it would have thought their lives were very miserable.

Then they left noisily.

Xiao Lin stayed at the end, and Princess Alice was a little curious when she saw him hesitate to speak.

"Is there anything else, brother?"

"I have something to say. Chris, please stay too."

"Well……"

The thief girl who was trying to sneak out with everyone made an obvious sound of trouble after being stopped.

Soon, there were only three people left in the room.

After getting along for a while, Lei Yin felt at ease with Xiao Lin. In addition, she had no wrong thoughts about Princess Alice, so she was not as protective as Kureya.

Seeing the thin thief girl with her toes touching each other, her two index fingers entangled with each other, her head lowered as if she had done something wrong, Xiao Lin rolled his eyes angrily.

"You actually used the stealth skill as soon as you entered the room. Chris, you are so cowardly."

"No, there's no way, and I don't want to! This is the palace, and I'm scared!" Chris said the most cowardly words in the loudest voice.

Only then did Alice realize that there was someone else in the room. There were so many people present just now, including Kurea and Rein, but they didn't notice Chris either.

Her Royal Highness the Princess's eyes lit up.

She was smart and seemed to have thought of something.

Xiaolin didn't show off, and said to Princess Alice: "Let me introduce, her name is Chris, and she is a thief. The most famous thing she did was that she ran into the palace with some fool last night and stole the princess's necklace."

"Wait...wait, wait, Xiaolin?!"

Chris was stunned when his true identity was suddenly revealed. She jumped up and tried to cover Xiao Lin's mouth, but unfortunately she couldn't do it due to her small body.

Princess Alice's expression remained normal, and she was not surprised by this incident. She had already known that the masked thief last night was Kazuma Sato. As for the other silver-haired thief...

"Xiaolin is such a joker. How could I be that handsome and powerful thief duo? Besides, my hair color is not silver. Look."

Although the hair color is wrong, it is not difficult to change the color.

Clearly, Chris's explanation is pale and powerless.

However, it is not over yet--

Xiaolin continued to expose the truth: "And Chris's real identity is Eris. That's right, the goddess Eris who controls luck and is the god of state religion."

"…………Huh?"

This time, even Alice was stunned, because the impact was too great.

Flustered, Chris grabbed Xiaolin's neck and shook him desperately: "Xiao, Xiaoxiao Xiaolin! What are you talking about out of the blue! How could I be the goddess! If you say that, you will be punished by God! Come on, apologize to the goddess quickly! Apologize quickly!"

She tried to use this method to cover up the fact that she is a goddess.

Aqua is not sure what will happen, but Dakness, Huihui, and Youyou, the three of them will definitely blame Xiaolin for offending the goddess and ask for an apology when they hear this.

"Your Highness, you've been deceived. I'm not a goddess. Besides, how can a thief be a goddess?"

In order not to expose the identity of the goddess, Chris would rather admit that he was the thief last night. However, Alice, who believed in Kobayashi, believed that Chris was the goddess.

"Nice to meet you, Goddess Eris. I am Belzegu Stellarhu Thord Alice. I send you my most sincere greetings."

Alice pulled her skirt to salute.

Even though she was young, her etiquette was very perfect, so perfect that Chris wanted to praise her.

"Why did you expose my identity! Kobayashi, what do you want to do?"

Chris held his head in a panic.

But this also admitted that she was the goddess in disguise.

Kobayashi had no worries about revealing Chris's true identity, and said, "Goddess Eris, I remember you got the scroll of grace from me, right? Have you learned it?"

"I learned it a long time ago. Why are you asking this now... Wait, you can't be——!"

"I want to ask you to grant Alice a grace."

"Is that so?"

Chris knew that the grace was not taken for nothing, it turned out to be waiting for her here!

"Actually, I'm worried about Alice's safety, and I wonder if there is any way for her to protect herself in this dangerous world."

Kobayashi touched Alice's head, feeling her soft golden hair, like an old father worried about the future of his child.

"So can you fulfill my wish?"

"Hehe, Mr. Kobayashi is really good at joking. Her Highness Alice is a princess of a country, who can hurt her?"

"...Are you serious? Last night, two thieves broke through the siege of the Knights, and even the magic sword hero Yuken Hibiki was easily defeated. Doesn't Goddess Eris know about such a big thing?!"

"Kobayashi, you plotted against me!"

Chris was immediately furious.

Not only did she know, she was even involved!

She was waiting here! ——Seeing Kobayashi's smug smile, which was actually a sure win, she became even more crazy.

"You deliberately set me up for a favor, Kobayashi, you really have good intentions."

"Thank you. Goddess Eris, you are not bad either. You bypassed us and went to Sato-kun for help. You must not think he is easy to deceive, but you have the best relationship with him."

The two of them were sarcastic to each other.

"Goddess Eris, please think carefully. Alice is a princess and a member of the royal family. With her help, your collection of artifacts will be smoother."

"Well..."

"If you don't agree, for Alice's safety, I can only provide Miss Kureya with information about the silver-haired chivalrous thief. For example... name, occupation, figure and so on. Goddess Eris, you don't want people to know that your breasts are padded."

"Hey! Too despicable! And! I don't have pads! That's slander! Complete slander!"

"Isn't that better?"

"...Huh?"

"Isn't that better!"

"Xiao Lin, you... are a scumbag!"

The sinister smile of the man in front of Chris made Chris deeply understand that if he didn't agree, the other party would definitely slander her breasts as padded.

In the end, under Xiao Lin's coercion and inducement, Chris had to give in.

She agreed to grant Alice a favor.

The well-behaved princess didn't interrupt the whole process. Although it was surprising that Chris was a goddess, she knew that Xiao Lin did this for her own sake.

I just don't know why, but I feel a little envious when I see the two of them arguing and exposing each other's shortcomings without any restraint.

Seeing that it can't be changed, Chris sighed: "Why don't you let Aqua come, but choose me?"

"Do you want the world to be destroyed?"

This is not an exaggeration. If Alice becomes an Axis cultist, the world may really be destroyed. After understanding this, Chris bowed his head decisively.

"Sorry, I was wrong."

"Thank me, it was me who forcibly stopped Aqua and didn't let such a future happen."

"Thank you, Xiaolin, you are a hero who saves the world...Okay, you go out first, I'm going to carve grace!"

With that, Chris drove Xiaolin out of the room.

Also, Alice asked curiously from behind: "Goddess Eris, what is grace?"

"Grace, it is..."

The door was closed, and the explanation came to an abrupt end.

Xiaolin did not leave, but waited silently outside the room. About half an hour passed.

"Xiaolin, you can come in--"

After hearing Chris's shout, Xiaolin pushed the door open. There was no strange scene, the room was still normal, and Alice's clothes were neatly worn. The only difference was that she was holding a piece of parchment in her hand.

"Did it succeed?"

"Of course!... Although I said that, I was actually quite nervous. After all, it was the first time. If I made a mistake, I didn't know what strange things would happen."

Chris wiped the sweat from his forehead. She was obviously a goddess, but she was more nervous than Alice.

Xiaolin looked at Alice.

"How is it, how does it feel?"

"Well... I don't feel anything strange."

This is also natural. Favors will not increase strength all at once. It requires a little bit of growth and accumulation. But Xiaolin is not concerned about this.

"What about your abilities? Do you have any skills? How many magic bars are there? Did any magic appear?"

"Well..."

"Wait a minute! Don't tell him!"

Just as Alice was about to speak, Chris rushed over and covered the princess' mouth.

"Listen carefully, don't tell him! Alice, you are my family now, and the family should be centered on the main god, so what I say is absolute. This is a punishment for him deliberately scheming against me!"

"Okay, Goddess Eris."

The blonde girl showed a helpless expression, and the goddess made a provocative expression to Xiaolin.

...Does she not know that she can read minds?

Xiaolin scratched his head.

Although the goddess can't read, Alice is still fine. But since Chris doesn't want to be exposed, he also chooses to help hide.

Xiaolin touched the princess' head.

"Goddess Eris. Alice is a child who is afraid of loneliness. Please accompany her more in the future."

"I know, I know. By the way, you don't want to find a playmate for Alice, so you come to ask me for help, right?"

Xiaolin did not comment.

"Oh, and this. This is the ring you lost, Alice. Here, return it to its original owner."

He took out a ring, which was the ring Alice lost, but Alice shook her head after seeing it.

"No, this is not the ring I lost."

Huh? ? ?

Kobayashi was stunned for a moment.

Could it be that Sato Kazuma gave him a fake ring? He was told the seriousness of the matter, but he dared to do this.

Suddenly, he saw the smirk on Alice's mouth, and he understood it all at once. The princess was going to insist that this ring was not hers.

"You... forget it, since you don't want it, just take this ring."

"What is this?"

"A ring engraved with special magic, the effect is to greatly restore physical strength, cure diseases and other negative states of magic."

That's right, it was the special magic prop that Kobayashi had been tinkering with during this period. And the magic engraved in this ring is the sixth level, great healing.

"Take it."

"Yes! Thank you, brother."

Alice smiled.

There is no doubt that this is an exchange of wedding rings!

The princess thought so and put the ring on the ring finger of her left hand, completely covering the original mark.
