Chapter 697 How to Take Off the Ring
"Hey, why are you so eager to try?"
Kobayashi held down the head of the stupid goddess who was about to take action, preventing her from getting close to him.
Huihui said, “If you don’t want your fingers cut off, how about high-temperature carbonization? Use explosion magic.”
"Then I will be completely wiped out, okay?"
Xiao Lin was troubled by their ridiculous request and said angrily, "Hey, you guys, there will be no progress if we continue like this. Can you please stop worrying about my finger? And if you really dare to cut off my finger, I will definitely show you the cross section of my finger before I am healed!"
"You are so direct in your way of being annoying."
Darkness curled her lips helplessly.
Liu Zi also nodded slightly and said, "Yes, this is Master Xiaolin. When it comes to doing bad things, he is the best. I can guarantee this."
"No guarantees are necessary."
Xiaolin rubbed her cheek.
Aqua said unhappily, "You keep dithering. I can't do anything about you. Now that we've come to this, I'll just let your finger go for now."
"It's really annoying. One by one, they come up with whatever they want."
Xiaolin breathed a sigh of relief.
At least this way, his fingers were saved temporarily.
If they really wanted to cut off his fingers, then he might not be able to do so under the circumstances.
"But in this case, in order to take off the ring, you have to find a way to raise money, right?"
"Ah, just as Youyou said, so I would like to ask for your help again." Xiaolin sighed and said, "I am serious this time, and I will never take it lightly like last time."
"Why is Xiaolin suddenly so motivated?"
"what?"
Kobayashi was slightly stunned by Huihui's question.
"From Xiaolin's perspective, isn't it just what you want to be able to flip through the brands of other people's underwear every month?"
"It seems like I was the one who wanted to steal this dirty water, can you please stop throwing it on me?!"
I couldn't help but curse.
Even though I said that, Huihui and the others didn’t seem to believe it. It was really giving me a headache.
"Listen carefully, it was this ring that enhanced my stealing skills, and then I stole underwear everywhere. In other words, the ring is the culprit! Last time it was Huihui, and this time it might have been stolen from one of you. I suggest you think carefully about the implications of this."
"Ok?"
"What do you mean?"
Kobayashi's explanation left them confused.
Wiz clapped his hands and said, "Ah, does that mean that the people who want to steal this ring are all acquaintances of the wearer?"
"That's most likely the case."
Xiao Lin nodded, then shook his head and said, "Of course, I also hope it will be like this."
There are too few cases to judge.
It would be fine if he only stole the underwear of Megumin, Darkness and the others, but if he stole the underwear of others in Axel... especially the Kingdom Inspector Sena, he really didn't know what to do if that happened.
Maybe he would be arrested on the spot, then convicted of harassment, and rewarded with the death penalty.
Don’t do that kind of thing!
"But why is it like this?" Youyou asked in surprise, "To men, girls' underwear should all be the same, right?"
"You are too young, Yoyo."
"Eh?"
Seeing Youyou who was confused, Xiaolin's mouth corners slightly raised.
"Maybe it's true as you said, except for the color and the amount of material, men don't know the difference between girls' underwear.
However, because of this, who owns the underwear becomes even more important! Eh——that mature and sexy looking older sister actually wears such childish printed underwear——or something like that.
Or maybe it was - no way, such an inconspicuous girl, but her underwear was so high-profile and bold - or something like that.
It is precisely because of this kind of secondary that the desire for underwear is ignited. If you don’t know who the owner is, it is no different from an ordinary rag. "
Kobayashi spoke loudly and passionately, not noticing the increasingly disgusted looks from the girls.
Especially Huihui.
She had her underwear stolen before, and she was almost filled with disgust.
"Ah, huh?" Xiao Lin curled his lips and looked at them curiously, "Why is the atmosphere so awkward?"
Although he already knew why.
Aqua said decisively: "Hey, even though Xiaolin has been putting the blame on the ring, he really did all these things himself, right?"
"Looking at the passionate and calm tone of his voice, there is no doubt about it."
"Even after we take off the rings, it's better to hang our washed underwear in the room."
“I have taken note of the suggestions from Lady Darkness and Lady Megumin. I will hang them in their respective rooms from now on.”
They had always reached an agreement.
This is not good. I am actually disliked like this. It seems that I accidentally said too much.
A dry cough.
"Ahem, let's not talk about my common sense for now." Xiao Lin raised the ring on his hand and said, "The question now is what the ring means by acquaintances. This is a very important matter. If it is limited to people like you who are close to me, then I can accept it..."
“I can’t accept it at all!”
Aqua yelled in dismay.
"Don't argue!"
Xiaolin rubbed her smooth cheeks hard.
Has this guy forgotten that he used to come and harass me every night? He was much more excessive back then!
"all in all!"
Kobayashi let go of the yelling Aqua and said, "If this definition includes everyone I know, then I might be socially dead."
You know, he is a famous socialite.
Although it is not a close relationship between men and women, he is still very popular among women because he has defeated the Demon King's army cadres one after another and solved many complicated and trivial matters.
If it really develops like that, the consequences will be disastrous!
"I see."
Huihui nodded in understanding, and said with an evil smile: "You will be regarded as a thorn in the eyes of all the women in Axel. No, if it is just that, it is not bad."
"The worst-case scenario is that you're arrested as a panty thief or charged with sexual harassment," Darkness added.
That's right!
He could tolerate being treated as a lackey, but he would decline to be arrested and sentenced!
Wiz said awkwardly, "But if we put the blame on the ring..."
"But if you know this and do nothing, you will definitely be considered to have done it on purpose." Chris looked at him with sympathy and told him the heartbreaking fact.
"That is to say, if this continues, Mr. Kobayashi might be treated as a criminal suspect."
"Master Kobayashi, you have become a criminal!"
Youyou and Liuzi said this.
"That's enough. Are you all worried about me or gloating over my misfortune?" Xiao Lin collapsed and yelled, then sighed deeply and said, "Although I don't want to do this, this is how it is."
"I didn't wrongly accuse you. After all, you did commit a crime."
I fucking...!
Kobayashi almost couldn't hold back his nerves at Aqua's look of disdain.
This guy is such an infuriating bastard.
He can always keenly point out other people's sore spots.
Xiao Lin rolled his eyes unhappily and threatened: "I'm telling you this, don't even think about severing your ties with me!"
"……What do you mean?"
"If someone in the team is treated as a criminal suspect, you might also be treated the same way. In other words, you will be treated as an accomplice and despised by everyone!"
After he finished speaking, Aqua's expression gradually turned ugly.
But Daknis's cheeks turned slightly red, and he twisted his body and said, "That means we might be despised by everyone, right?"
"Hello……!"
"Wait a minute, I don't want to be treated like this!"
Before anyone could condemn the hopelessly perverted female knight, Megumin couldn’t help but yell.
"I'll just say it."
Xiaolin shrugged and then said, "So, please give me a hand, okay?"
"Well……"
"Although I am very reluctant, this is the only way."
"Tsk."
So Aqua and the others chose to help.
So, what should I do next? Although I have regained everyone's help, I still can't think of a specific way to make money.
Although he said he needed to think about it before running outside, he actually had no idea at all and just came to the guild to eat in a daze.
The guild is the center of the town, and you should be able to get some information here.
Xiaolin sat in the corner of the guild.
Just as he was about to raise his hand to indicate his order, he saw the piece of white cloth in his right hand.
"Come to think of it, whose underwear was it this time?" Xiao Lin sighed slightly and said, "In the end, I still couldn't return it to the other party. I still put it in my pocket."
At this time, two people came over.
"Hey, Xiaolin, you seem to be in a lot of trouble."
"Dust and Chiss... huh? What are you talking about? I don't understand anything."
Xiao Lin was slightly stunned.
He thought about it carefully and it seemed that there was no trouble.
However, Dust waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "Don't act stupid there. Aren't you cursed to steal women's underwear every night?"
"What!? How do you know?! Wait, wait, that's slander, that's slandering me! Not every night, but every full moon night, wait, who said that? I've never told anyone!"
Kobayashi completely lost his language system because his mind was in a mess.
If the news of me stealing underwear gets out, my reputation...!
who is it?
Who is it? !
Duster was startled by Xiaolin's angry expression, but Chis said, "That's because—"
"Forget it. I can guess what happened without you telling me." Xiao Lin knew the reason without waiting for them to explain, and said first: "Anyway, it must be the stupid goddess's fault. That crazy goddess with a brain problem must be rapping about nonsense again."
After saying this, he collapsed back on the stool, holding his head with his hands and letting out a heart-wrenching cry of pain and dullness.
"That's good. No one has suffered yet, but I've already become notorious."
“…Well, how should I put it?”
"Although we may not be able to help you in any way, if you want to vent your grievances, we are here to accompany you. You have to hold on, Xiaolin."
Dust and Chis patted Xiaolin on the shoulder to cheer him up, then stood up and left.
They must feel pitiful themselves too.
But there was no way. The news that she was cursed must have spread in the guild. Other women would probably be scared and run away when they saw her.
You've worked so hard to build up your reputation.
It was such an unexpected disaster.
Suddenly, a priestess who had met him a few times appeared in Xiaolin's sight. However, the moment she saw Xiaolin, she immediately turned around and left in a panic.
How long has it been!
How could it spread so quickly!
Just as Xiaolin lowered his head gloomily, a soft and somewhat awkward voice came from behind him.
"Mr. Kobayashi, can I bother you for a moment?"
"I'm so sorry! I'll find a solution as soon as possible. Please don't sue me!"
Xiaolin quickly clasped his hands together and begged for mercy.
Luna is the treasure of the guild. If she accuses Xiaolin, she will definitely be arrested by the security guards and will not have any room for defense.
"what--"
She waved her hands in panic and said, "No, it's not what you think. I just want to talk to you about something."
"matter?"
Xiaolin raised his eyebrows.
Luna said with sympathy: "I just heard that, and it seems that things have become very serious."
"It's really not my fault, it's this ring...!"
"I don't doubt you, actually."
"what?"
"I've worked here for a long time, and I've been exposed to all kinds of magic props, no matter how weird they are. So a ring like Mr. Kobayashi's doesn't cause me to panic."
As expected, she is a famous counter lady in the guild.
Unlike the priestess just now, who ran away in panic the moment she saw him and didn't dare to come closer.
"Well, Luna, do you know how to take off this ring?"
"Well..."
Xiaolin's question made Luna ponder for a long time. After thinking for a while, she said, "For a magic item like this, there are people who are willing to charge 30 million Eris to remove it."
"After all, it still costs a lot of money. And the problem now is that even if I can come up with so much money, that guy hasn't come back, and there is no way to lift the curse." Kobayashi has a deep grudge against a certain Duke of Hell.
"——Or maybe it will fall off naturally as the creator wished."
"The maker's wish?"
Luna's other idea surprised Xiaolin a little.
But at the same time, he curled his lips in disgust.
"What on earth could a LSP who steals underwear every month want? To steal underwear until he's satisfied? Don't be ridiculous! And when will this thing end? There's no time limit, right?!"
Right from the start.
Kobayashi scoffed at the idea of satisfying the wishes of the magic tool maker and was very opposed to it.
"In short, I won't fulfill any random wishes, and I won't fulfill such a lowly wish!"
