I like crossing the most

Chapter 123
"Ah, Ku, Ya, sit right now—!"

Under Xiao Lin's angry shout, the three sessions of the trial officially opened.

Kobayashi was sitting in the main seat, Darkness was on the left, and Megumin was on the right. The super expensive high-end bubble wine was placed in the center, and Aqua was kneeling at the bottom to accept the interrogation.

Seeing her bewildered and wronged expression suddenly made things difficult for her, Kobayashi didn't have the slightest sympathy, because if she hadn't stolen the noble bubble wine, Sato Kazuma would not have been implicated and thrown into prison.

Kobayashi was the first to question: "Tell me, why did you steal the bubble wine?"

"No! No, no! I didn't steal the bubble wine, definitely didn't steal the bubble wine!" Akuya shook her head anxiously to avenge herself when she heard that she was being slandered.

Kobayashi subconsciously didn't believe it.

After all, she had a criminal record before, and in order to be able to drink bubble wine, she even went to the guild on credit under the name of Xiaolin, and now it is possible to extend it to stealing alcohol.

Even if the other party is a goddess, he still believes that the stupid goddess can do this.

"You...!"

"Wait, Kobayashi."

Darkness reached out to stop Kobayashi, and said, "Now is not the time to question Akuya, the most urgent thing is to rescue Kazuma from the prison, isn't it?"

"……you're right."

Kobayashi rubbed his eyebrows.

In fact, he is not afraid of nobles, even if there are nobles who want to exert pressure, Darkness can come forward to settle it.

But on the one hand, Darkness doesn't want to be exposed, and on the other hand, if she gets too involved with nobles, she will attract attention and be constrained by others, and it will be impossible to live a free life afterwards.

Due to various factors, he hates contact with nobles, and has been trying to avoid such things from happening.

"What, what's the matter, idiot and really?"

Akuya didn't know about it yet, and when she heard that Sato Kazuma had something to do, she hurriedly asked.

Kobayashi said angrily: "Because of the lost bottle of high-grade sparkling wine, Mr. Sato was taken into prison by the guards!"

"Puff, puff, puff - idiot Hezhen, it's so funny that he would be thrown into prison because of this incident."

After hearing the explanation, instead of getting over her guilt, Akuya covered her mouth and laughed at Kazuma Sato.

"Do you understand whose fault it is?" Xiao Lin gave her a supercilious look.

I really can't figure out her brain circuit, if I want to see Sato Kazuma make an embarrassment and be wronged, I don't have to go to this level.

Akuya puffed up her chest and said proudly: "I want to solemnly declare that I did not steal this bottle of high-end sparkling wine, but my mission reward! Didn't I say before that I received a designated mission!"

"...Huh? What's going on, tell us quickly." Xiao Lin asked.

"actually……"

Akuya received a commission yesterday. She said that the commissioned task will be kept secret for the time being, but in fact the task is that the captain of the guard asked her to cast fire magic on the training ground in the town, saying that it was to create a little chaos and make the guards feel a little nervous .

Before the Headless Horseman came, the town guards did a poor job.

So the captain of the guard wanted to tell them that even though Axel was a remote novice village, there would still be strong enemies coming, and it would be absolutely impossible to keep slacking off.

So please Aqua.

"Isn't the reward money, but bubble wine? Akua, you shouldn't be cheated. Although I don't know what the commission is, it seems strange that the reward is bubble wine."

Huihui looked at her worriedly, as if worried about the intelligence of the other party.

Kobayashi wanted to tell her that there was no need to worry at all, because Akuya's intelligence was pitifully low.

Wait a minute, something seems wrong.

"Hey, Akua, you said you used fire magic on the training ground, could it be..."

"Yes! It's planetary fire!"

"So it's you?!"

Planetary fire is an intermediate flame magic. If you use that, the magic light will rise to the sky like fireworks, and then explode.

That is to say!
"Are you the guy who is provoking Hui Hui?!"

It's all because of her magic that made Huihui more thoughtful, and then he accompanied Huihui to release the explosion magic in order not to disturb Hezhen, and then blurted out abnormal remarks in order to prevent Huihui from being sad, which led to being heard by the guards. Arrested himself on the spot.

Besides, you, the goddess of water, why do you want to release fire magic? It's too strange!
It's all Aqua's fault!
"Eh?...Eh——?!!!"

Aqua screamed in surprise for no reason.

She didn't mean to provoke Huihui at all, she just completed the commission and released an intermediate magic. Why did it turn into a provocation?

"Damn it, you stupid goddess!"

Kobayashi held his head in great annoyance.

He was wrong, he was really wrong, Akuya shouldn't have been allowed to complete the task by himself in the first place.

If he followed, Akuya wouldn't take the bubble wine, Megumin wouldn't think about releasing magic, he wouldn't be arrested on the spot, and Sato Kazuma wouldn't be implicated and thrown into jail.

The idiot goddess is not like Sato Kazuma can complete the task smoothly. Every time they get into trouble, they end up wiping their ass.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..."

Akuya threw herself into Kobayashi's arms and began to cry aggrievedly. It was too strange that she still had to be scolded even though she had done nothing wrong.

In other words, what is the operation of crying into the arms of the person who made me cry every time.

But it was not enough not to comfort her.

The goddess flooded, and no one could hold it back.

"Kobayashi, don't blame Akua too much, let's think about what to do now." Darkness came forward to advance the topic again, and at the same time restrained Akua who was crying so much.

The solution to the problem is simple, just return the bubble wine.

According to Akuya, this bottle of high-end bubble wine was paid by the captain of the guard, so at a glance, it was clear that the other party made a mistake and took the expensive bubble wine as reward by mistake.

So as long as you talk about it, it's fine.

but……

"This bottle of bubble wine has already been opened, and it's not even more than half gone." Xiao Lin covered his forehead in pain.

When he was in the prison, he inquired about it, and the nobleman attached great importance to this bottle of high-end sparkling wine, otherwise he would not have issued a warrant specifically to track down the murderer and hold him accountable.

Therefore, in this case, the captain of the guard is likely to defend himself and deny that it is his fault.

"Akuya, you didn't go to the guild for notarization, did you?"

"……No."

"I think so too!"

Akuya's embarrassing expression made Kobayashi's heart go cold.

Not going to the Adventurer's Guild for notarization means that there is no evidence. The other party can completely deny that it is his fault for self-protection, so it is absolutely impossible for them to explain the reason.

So far, there is only one way.

"Can I just buy another bottle?"

Kobayashi murmured.

The solution to the problem is very simple. Since this bottle of high-end sparkling wine has been drunk, then just buy another bottle to compensate the other party. At the same time, explain the reason for this matter. When the other party gets the wine, he knows it is his own problem, certainly not too much to blame.

After all, the nature is completely different.

The issue is……

Xiao Lin looked at the well-informed hidden noble lady in the team, and asked anxiously: "Darkness, what is the price of this bottle of bubble wine?"

"Probably hundreds of thousands of Eris."

"It's actually hundreds of thousands of Eris?!... Hey, only hundreds of thousands of Eris?!"

Kobayashi was shocked twice in succession.

Originally, he was ready to bleed heavily, but he didn't expect that this bottle of high-end bubble wine, which was so valued and even issued a wanted warrant, was only a few hundred thousand Eris.

I immediately relaxed.

"Is there any mistake! Let other nobles see it and think I can't afford it! Another bottle! One bottle per person!"

Kobayashi was extremely arrogant.

No way, money is just so capricious.

Hundreds of thousands of Eris, 100 bottles are only tens of millions of Eris, Kobayashi with a deposit of up to 2 million Eris is completely worthwhile.

"That's not the problem."

On the contrary, Darkness looked serious. She pointed to the logo on the bottle and said: "There are as many bubble wines as high-end products, but each one is different. If this logo is true, then This bottle of wine is a dream within a dream, a gem that even money can't buy."

"Eh?"

"It must have taken a lot of effort for that nobleman to buy it. No wonder he issued an arrest warrant angrily. If this is the reason, it makes sense."

"Eh?!!"

Didn't expect it to be a small probability, something that money can't necessarily buy? !
According to what Darkness said, the price of this bottle of high-end sparkling wine is indeed only worth a few hundred thousand Eris, but it will be snapped up by the nobles as soon as it comes out, and its price has already reached tens of millions of Eris, and There is no price.

"Damn it! It's totally beyond expectations!"

Kobayashi covered his forehead in pain.

Is Sato Kazuma going to be killed just because of Aqua's fault? !
...Think about it carefully, why should you be nervous?

Even if Sato Kazuma is killed, Aqua can be resurrected smoothly, so there is nothing to be nervous about, right?

No no no, don't think that way!
Kobayashi shook his head, shaking this dangerous thought out of his mind.

If the younger generation is regarded as a prop that can be discarded in exchange for benefits, then his bottom line in life will be broken, and he will definitely do even more insane things in the future.

So how to save Sato Kazuma?
Premium Bubble Wine, Premium Bubble Wine, Premium Bubble Wine...

Ok?
Kobayashi raised his eyebrows and asked, "Darkness, you said that this bottle of high-end bubble wine is very rare, right? It's the kind of gem that even if you have money, you can't buy it."

"...That's right." Darkness nodded.

"So--"

Since it is a rare product that is very difficult to obtain, usually you will not think about drinking it, and you will definitely treasure it or display it in a conspicuous place as a capital to show off.

If so, there is room for manipulation!

Kobayashi asked: "Akuya, are you confident to reseal the bottle and restore it to its unopened state?"

"Of course, who do you think I am?!" Akua puffed out her chest arrogantly.

"Goddess of chores, what's wrong?"

"Well……!"

Ignoring the face of the idiot goddess who was about to cry, Kobayashi still had more important things to do.

Hui Hui asked a little strangely: "Xiao Lin, what are you going to do?"

"Of course it's watering."

Kobayashi's expression was a little sinister.

Question: I already know that nobles will not easily open this bottle of high-end sparkling wine, and this bottle of wine has a higher value in collection, what should I do to avoid punishment?
——Naturally pouring water to pretend it is unopened new wine!
Just like some innocent Xs, the exterior looks new, but the interior has long been filled with other things.

"Then, let's have a big fight!"

Kobayashi called everyone to help.

But in fact, they were just watching Aqua from the sidelines.

It has to be said that her skills are extraordinary.

Xiao Lin thought that he didn't even blink, why was the wine bottle suddenly restored to its original unopened state?
This is amazing too!

"Akuya, I will give you the title of fake goddess from now on."

"Thank you for the compliment."

"Hey hey——" X[-]

The two Axis teachers laughed darkly at each other. They seemed to have discovered the door to a new world. If they ran out of money in the future, this kind of skill would probably come in handy.

Oh, that's not a good idea.

Kobayashi is a sunny boy with positive energy.

But Huihui suddenly showed a worried expression, and said, "Xiao Lin, this bottle of wine will be drunk one day. If it is discovered, it will definitely think of us, and it will eventually be charged on our heads."

"I also thought of what you said."

A fake is a fake, and they are the ones who are unlucky when they are discovered.

"But as long as it's real before being discovered, it's fine, isn't it?"

Kobayashi smiled cunningly.

The trouble came so suddenly this time, they were not prepared enough, and next time they prepared to score points, they would definitely not be in such a hurry as they are now.

... No, there will be no next time!

Seeing that his companion was still worried, he comforted him, "Don't worry, I will let Wiz buy this high-end bubble wine back as soon as possible, even if it costs more."

The longer this kind of thing is delayed, the more problems will arise.

So he will be very careful, get the wine as soon as possible, and then secretly put the wine back, and make a sneaky change.

Afterwards, the nobles didn't know about it, and they wouldn't be blamed, and both sides acted as if nothing happened.

perfect!

Just when Kobayashi thought so, he saw Sato Kazuma returning to the mansion with a bloated ugly nobleman and a burly and powerful knight.

As for why they can see their identities?

Let's start with the golden upstart-like dress, and the armor with the sword on the waist.

"What, what should I do, Xiao Lin! They are here!"

"Don't panic! Just take this opportunity to return the wine and wash away Sato-kun's grievances."

Kobayashi told the team members not to be nervous.

It would be bad if you showed your feet because you were too nervous.

Then, showing the iconic smirk, ready to meet the coming nobles.

I thought that the other party would make trouble as soon as they came up, but I didn't expect...

"--sorry!

It's all my negligence that caused your team members to be imprisoned! "

The captain of the guard bowed and apologized to Xiao Lin and the others, with a very sincere attitude.

This made Xiao Lin stunned for a moment, he thought that the other party would separate the relationship for his own protection, but he didn't expect the other party to admit his mistake openly.

On the contrary, he is a villain.

"No, no, no, this is not entirely your fault. There is also the fault of my high priest who didn't tell the truth. I also apologize for her like you two."

Kobayashi also hurriedly turned around and bowed.

The attitude of the other party is very good, of course he can't be rude, politely put the fault on his side.

Also pull out the bottle of bubbly.

Xiao Lin said: "It's just right, I will return this bottle of wine to you, and we will treat it as a small misunderstanding."

"No no no, it doesn't have to be like that."

The bloated and ugly noble quickly waved his hand, patting the knight's arm dotingly at the same time, and said: "The mistake made by the captain of my guard, I will naturally pay the bill, it's just a bottle of bubble wine...Although I care about it, but for him I had no choice but to reluctantly give up my reputation. It was originally handed over to him just to enjoy it with him."

That doting look made people very uncomfortable.

Xiao Lin couldn't help twisting his body, and subconsciously took a small step back.

The bloated and ugly nobleman said again: "I came here just to convey this matter. I have canceled the arrest warrant, and I have made compensation to this little brother to express my apology. There is no way, for the captain of my family's guard, I hope Don't blame him too much."

"How could it be? It's great to be able to resolve the misunderstanding." Xiao Lin had a polite yet awkward smile on his face.

"That's it, let's go."

After finishing speaking, the bloated and ugly noble took the guard captain's hand, and the two left together.They look very close to each other.

Although it seems impossible, but...

"Kazuma, I want to ask."

He turned his head to look at Kazuma Sato who was still waving goodbye, and asked, "Is your dress that "looks very sensational and innocent" is for women? "

"That's right, it's just strange that the size of the clothes is a bit too big. Judging by the body shape, it is about the same as the captain of the guard. What's the matter, Senior Kobayashi." Sato Kazuma didn't seem to notice anything yet.

"It's okay, you don't need to know."

Kobayashi thoughtfully didn't let him think about messy things, and at the same time threw himself into Akua's arms.

"Akuya, purify me quickly!"
