Chapter 736: Being Driven Out of the City
"think carefully……"
Xiaolin pinched his chin and pondered, "It seems that he was abnormally dazed in Wiz's shop... He was in a normal state before that. In this case, it was after using the stone tablet?"
What should I say...
There was an uneasy premonition.
"Hey, that stone slab, is it with Huihui?" Xiaolin said to the little girl, "Lend it to me."
"Okay, okay, here you go."
Taking the slate handed to him, Xiaolin looked at it carefully.
The words on the stone tablet are basically invisible. Just like what Wiz said, it has deteriorated badly.
But Xiaolin did not give up and stroked the stone slab with his fingers, trying to find some clues. When his fingers touched the lower left corner of the back of the stone slab, he felt a frosted feeling.
"Ok?"
"What's wrong?"
"There are very small words engraved here, surprisingly clear, I think I can understand it..."
Kobayashi brought the slate close to his eyes, and Huihui was slightly stunned when she saw it.
"These are very small words. If you don't pay attention, it's easy to miss them..."
Without a magnifying glass, it is almost invisible.
But it's not a problem for Xiaolin.
His five-sighted omniscient ability allows him to see very small text.
Then read carefully -
“Hmm? Hmm??? Hmm??? Wha, wha wha wha…what?!!!”
"Meow!?"
"W-What happened? Why are you shouting all of a sudden?!"
Makinosuke and Huihui also started to panic.
Before he could explain, Darkness came over from the sofa, with a serious look of dissatisfaction on her face. She said, "Hey, what's going on? Three of you were sneaking around here just now, and now you're making such a loud noise."
Xiao Lin was stunned.
Aqua leaned closer and became speechless after reading the words above.
"Wow, this really does make a loud noise... It clearly says that using the slate will bring you a curse..."
"What!? Curse?!"
Darkness was also surprised.
Xiao Lin was furious and shouted: "Writing such small words as a reminder is completely meaningless! Rather, I can feel the malice of the person who made the stone tablet!"
"Wait a minute, there seems to be something else written. That..."
Aqua took a look and read: "The curse is to strengthen the desires that are completely opposite to this person's desires. In order to lift the curse, the desires of this person's body and mind must be satisfied. Please note that the desires that become completely opposite will eventually be fixed on that person. Ah, but don't worry, only one person will be cursed... That's what it says."
Thank you for writing so passionately and carefully! However, if possible, please write bigger so that people can read it clearly!
It’s not like there’s no room for the slate!
It's like, for fun, deliberately write the text very small, and when you are angry and about to lose your temper, the other party tells you, I have clearly written its disadvantages on it. This does not resolve the anger, but will intensify the anger value!
Huihui pursed her lips and looked at the Crusader team.
“In that case, Darkness is cursed by the stone tablet.”
"Yes, there's nothing wrong with that."
"Well, that's for sure."
Kobayashi and Aqua nodded at the same time.
Darkness was unhappy. She asked, “Why are you so sure?”
"Because..."
"right……"
"That's right..."
"Three, three people, don't sing the same tune!"
Kobayashi and the others' reactions made her even more unhappy, and she felt like she was being excluded.
Xiaolin also felt helpless.
"The cursed person may not understand that the direction of normal and abnormal has become reversed."
"Instead, it's reassuring to find out the reason why it became like that."
"——I couldn't agree more with this."
Aqua and Megumin nodded.
What the three of them said might have been a bit exaggerated. It was also their fault that they had not yet adapted to the power of the stone slab. Darkness was also a little annoyed when she saw being called a pervert and a psychopath.
"Hey, you're so bold to call someone a pervert. Well, as you wish, I'll prove my perversion to you right here!"
She raised her head slightly.
There was majesty and strength in her emerald green eyes. She looked like a queen who was high above everyone else and would not tolerate any objection from others. This was very different from her usual appearance.
Huihui was startled.
Aqua also begged for mercy: “Darkness, I will apologize, so don’t make such a scary expression, it’s really scary…”
It seems that the desires have really become completely opposite.
If it was a normal Darkness, she would say something like, "That's not the insult I wanted!"
"By the way, is this another curse?..."
Xiaolin sighed heavily.
Whether it was the ring or the gem, he had had enough and really didn't want to be chased by the curse anymore.
"It shouldn't be too much trouble this time. After all, the solution is written above."
Aqua looked nonchalant.
Megumin said, “Xiaolin, please let Darkness punch you two or three times. That will surely satisfy you.”
"He's going to die."
Xiaolin rolled his eyes.
With the abnormal female knight's exaggerated arm strength, even a LV10 physique might be beaten to death, so definitely don't do that.
"It's okay, I will revive you properly."
The stupid goddess obviously didn't take his life seriously.
at this time--
"Mr. Kobayashi, is Mr. Kobayashi here—?"
From outside the door came Sena's voice.
"coming--"
"Mr. Kobayashi!"
Before he could open the door, the front door of the mansion was kicked open, and a decisive figure who had not been seen for a long time appeared in the living room.
"Okay, okay, I'm here."
Xiao Lin looked at her and asked curiously, "Why are you in such a hurry? What's the matter?"
"All members of Team Xiaolin, you are now officially notified to be expelled from Axel City!"
"…Huh!?" X6
Sena, who had not been seen for a long time, suddenly said such confusing words. Everyone looked at the kingdom prosecutor in a daze.
"Didn't you hear clearly? Then let me say it again. All members of Team Xiaolin, I am now officially notified that you will all be expelled from Axel City!"
"What------?!"
Kobayashi looked at the serious Sena in astonishment.
Aqua couldn't hold it in any longer. She pulled Xiaolin's clothes and urged him, "Xiaolin, what trouble did you get into this time? Come on, apologize! I will apologize with you, so apologize quickly!"
"Wait, wait, I didn't do anything!"
Kobayashi broke free from the stupid goddess's pull.
Hui Hui shouted, “Both of you, calm down and don’t be anxious.”
“Why don’t you explain first?” Darkness took the initiative to step forward. She said angrily and forcefully, “We don’t remember doing anything that would get us expelled from the town.”
"Yes, yes, it's unreasonable to expel us without any reason!"
"Of course there is a reason."
"Eh? There actually is one?"
Aqua was a little surprised.
No, what's so surprising about this?
Although Sena doesn't listen to others and always likes to make her own judgments, she usually won't do such extreme things if there is no problem. This is related to her old-fashioned personality.
But the more she did this, the more confused Xiaolin felt.
And Sena pushed up her glasses and said, "A few days ago, a thief broke into the noble's mansion, and later it was determined that the thief stole a gem."
gem……?
"Then, I got testimony from the manager of the magic item store you patronized. It seems that you asked the manager to identify the stone slabs and gems yesterday. The gems you brought looked the same as the stolen gems. After reporting this to the victim nobles, I received instructions to expel you from Axel. Do you have any more excuses for the above?"
In fact, when Sena mentioned the gem, Xiaolin had already thought of it.
I just didn't expect that the gem was stolen from a noble's mansion?!
But - the gem was found in the wild - if you say that, Sena will never believe it, because that's her personality, she won't listen to any explanation.
Just as Kobayashi was struggling over what to say, Aqua's eyes darted around and her words were in a panic.
"I, I don't know what gems are."
"All four of you were present. I have received clear testimony."
"Eh!?"
Aqua, who wanted to distance herself from the incident, was immediately exposed by Sena, causing the stupid goddess to look at Kobayashi in panic.
“That, that Xiaolin? Isn’t this a crisis? Isn’t this a huge crisis? Eviction? What a joke! I finally paid off my debts and can live a stable life!”
She worked really hard during this period and earned a lot of money. With the addition of the team's savings, she paid off her debts.
But before I could enjoy it, this happened.
Xiaolin also had a headache.
It was she who used the slate to consume the gems without my permission, and now there is no way to make excuses for her!
You know, Sena is very old-fashioned!
"……But."
"Eh?"
"I received forgiveness from the nobles."
Sena suddenly said this.
Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what this meant, but Xiaolin smelled the same smell as before. And Sena continued:
"The noble lord is magnanimous and said that as long as certain conditions are met, he will overlook the mistakes you made."
"Really? What do you want me to do? If you can forgive us, I can do anything! Yeah, everything is fine, leave it to me!"
Before Xiaolin could even open his mouth, the stupid goddess took charge of everything.
Hey, don't say anything subtle like a flag!
Huihui felt uneasy. She said tactfully, “But at times like this, people usually raise difficult questions that cannot be solved.”
“Ah, jumping in without thinking is not a good strategy,” Darkness agreed.
Yes.
The noble who asked them to crack the device that sealed the ancient monster slime deliberately set a trap to make them run around. Xiaolin has not forgotten the miserable experience he experienced.
Prudent.
"Anyway, tell us the conditions first, and then we can consider whether to accept them or not."
"Okay. The condition is..."
Xiaolin was a little nervous.
And Sena suddenly grinned and said, "Prepare the clothes that the noble wants."
Prepare clothes?
"But there is a time limit. If you are not ready before the deadline, it will not be expulsion but the death penalty."
"how come?!"
Huihui screamed.
Xiao Lin also found it incredible: "Wait, although the death penalty is also strange, why do we need to prepare clothes?"
"That's what the nobles said anyway. I'm just conveying their words to you." Sena shook her head, indicating that she didn't know the reason.
That nobleman is quite willful.
Darkness asked, “What should we do, Xiaolin? Rather than letting the nobles manipulate us, why not focus on clearing our suspicion?”
"But there's no way to refuse, right?" Xiao Lin scratched his head and whispered, "If I refuse now, I'll be kicked out before I can clear my suspicion, right? And if you think about it carefully, if I can be acquitted by making the clothes, isn't that the best outcome?"
"It's obviously a capital crime, but do you still want to take such a big risk?"
"Think about it, tailoring is Aqua's area of expertise. To be honest, the chances of winning are better this way."
Kobayashi signaled the stupid goddess to say something quickly.
Aqua nodded quickly and said, "Yes, yes! I can't help it. Let me show off my gorgeous tailoring skills here!"
“Aqua, please!” Huihui said with emotion.
In fact, if Sato Kazuma were here, it might be safe to push this matter to him, after all, he was an expert at making clothes for the nobles.
...Wait, making clothes for nobles?
Xiaolin seemed to have thought of something.
Sena also asked at this time: "What do you say, do you want to agree or not?"
"Well... can you allow me to ask a question?" Xiaolin did not rush to agree. Instead, when Sena raised her chin to indicate that she could ask, he asked: "The noble you are talking about is not the XXX noble of Axel, right?"
"That's right. I didn't tell you who it was, how could you know?"
"For some reason."
Kobayashi signaled to Aqua and the others not to worry, as the situation was now stable, and received grateful looks from the three.
"We accept the conditions."
Xiao Lin agreed and asked, "So, what kind of clothes do you want to make?"
"I see." Sena nodded and said, "Then I'll tell you the conditions of the clothes."
She seemed certain that Kobayashi and the others would agree to their request to make clothes, and the more so, the more Kobayashi understood why the noble did not convict them. He must have thought that the clothes made by Sato Kazuma were very good, and he was reluctant to kill or convict him, so he made such a decision.
But Sato Kazuma is not in Axel now, and it is not known whether Kobayashi and the others can meet the noble's demands. If they cannot do so within the deadline, he may get angry and decide to expel Axel again, or even convict and hold him accountable again.
So when Sena made her request, everyone was serious and nervous.
"The condition is..."
