Chapter 730: Crocodile's Mental Trauma
Hello, hey, hey, what’s going on?
Is everyone not wearing any clothes now?
Is this world separated only by a piece of cloth a world of dreams, a world of paradise!?
"What are you doing? Why don't you leave early?"
"I'm busy now, let's talk later."
"What's going on? If you have something to say, can't you just come in and tell me?"
"You're an idiot. If you do that, you'll definitely be arrested—!?"
Xiao Lin yelled angrily at the person next to him, but soon stopped yelling, looked up and down at the stupid goddess in the dark blue swimsuit, and asked curiously:
"Aqua, where did you go?"
"Don't worry, you won't be disqualified, you just stayed in the corner of the track for a while."
"Yeah, that's good."
Xiaolin breathed a sigh of relief.
Aqua seemed to have run out in a panic due to mental trauma, but fortunately she did not run off the track and be disqualified.
In short, everything unfolded just as he expected.
"But Aqua, you seemed to have arrived later, so how did you change your clothes? The place to change clothes should be over there, right?"
"Yeah, of course."
"Yeah, of course...you're an idiot, right?"
“W-what?!”
"No matter how bad you are, you are still a woman!"
"It's not rotten yet, it's still soft!"
After hearing what Kobayashi said, Aqua became anxious. She puffed out her chest to show that her breasts were not rotten.
"No, that's not what I meant!"
Xiao Lin suddenly pulled back the stupid goddess's hand that was about to press on her chest, and said, "You guy, you are a woman after all, taking off your clothes in public..."
"Do you have any strange misunderstanding?"
"Misunderstanding? What misunderstanding?"
"Isn't it natural to wear a swimsuit underneath?"
"Oh yes."
Aqua said this as a matter of course, convincing Kobayashi immediately.
After all, that's who he is.
But doesn't this guy have any sense of shame for taking off clothes in a place like that?
How dare you be so bold.
Aqua pouted unhappily and said, "What? The way he looked at the poor thing, is he muttering something about me in his heart?"
"No, nothing..."
Xiao Lin turned his head away subconsciously.
Aqua, however, took advantage of the situation and covered her mouth with her hands while grinning, "Oh my, Xiaolin, are you attracted by my swimsuit?"
"Hey, what you just said sounded a bit like an auntie."
"Varied----!?"
Apparently Aqua didn't expect that she would be called an auntie.
At this time, Darkness and the others also changed into their swimsuits and met up with Kobayashi.
"Sorry for keeping you waiting, Xiaolin!"
"Oh, isn't this Aqua?"
"Aqua-sama, your expression is a little stiff, isn't it?"
"As if something had happened to shock her."
Huihui, Wiz, and Yunyun spoke one after another.
Chris asked curiously, "Xiao Lin, didn't you do anything?"
"No."
He shook his head decisively.
Darkness asked with some anticipation, "So, how about success?"
Xiao Lin didn't say anything, just snapped his fingers.
Motioned for them to look to the side.
The male adventurers continued to stare at them blankly, and stopped in their tracks with no intention of moving at all.
Chris smiled and said, "Ahaha, it seems that what we did is quite effective?"
“And it’s still going on.” Youyou rubbed her shoulders and said shyly, “Wow, it’s embarrassing to be stared at all the time.”
"Yes, yes!"
Darkness also echoed.
But her rosy cheeks didn't look like she was shy, but more like she was eager to try.
This guy……
Chris also took the opportunity to ask: "Then, can we leave now?"
"I did it reluctantly with a feeling of shame, I wish it could start smoothly."
Wiz said this carefully.
Xiao Lin waved his hand and shouted, "Okay, let's go too!"
Several people quickly went into the water.
Hahaha, the gap with the first group has narrowed a lot, it seems the plan is successful.
However, even a fledgling adventurer is still an adventurer after all.
Being in the top group meant that I should be able to run around as I pleased, but I didn’t slow down at all.
"Xiao Lin, so slow!"
Aqua, who was standing at the edge of the lake, shouted at him unhappily.
Xiao Lin was stunned for a moment when he saw her, and quickly yelled, "Aren't you ahead? Why are you coming back?"
"Because swimming alone is boring."
"You really leave me speechless."
Aqua said this as a matter of course, and Kobayashi almost lost his temper at the stupidity of her words.
“I’m telling you, this tournament decides the champion based on everyone’s total score, so the faster you reach the finish line, the closer you’ll be to the championship! Did you know that?!”
"Of course, please don't treat me like an idiot!"
Aqua pouted unhappily.
Xiao Lin pointed at the lake and shouted, "Then you don't have to come back! Go ahead. You want the championship prize too, right?"
"I'm the goddess of water. If I really want to, I can reach the other side with just one backstroke. This is a piece of cake for me."
hiss--
Seeing her like this, Xiao Lin took a breath and asked uncertainly: "Aqua, you are not deliberately waiting for us to match our pace?"
"Yeah, yeah."
She answered decisively.
Xiao Lin asked curiously: "Why?"
"Because being alone is too boring."
"How afraid are you of loneliness?"
I couldn't help but sigh. This is the bad thing about the stupid goddess. Once she feels lonely, she will forget everything else.
Damn it, I've swum a lot, but she looks so relaxed.
Why don't you take a breath?
In fact, when she was running on land, she would be so scared that her face would turn blue and she would keep talking nonsense.
It's the same now, the backward movement is so smooth.
There is no visible movement of the body.
Could it be that this guy...
Kobayashi stared at Aqua fiercely, scaring her so much that she swam back to create some distance.
"What are you doing, looking at me like that?"
"Stand up straight."
"Upright, is that right?"
She stood upright, motionless in the water.
"Not moving at all..."
"Of course, it is supported by water."
"Isn't it supported by water?"
Xiaolin was totally confused.
From the beginning, the stupid goddess's swimming posture and her stillness in the water were very different from what he had imagined.
"Okay, let's do this."
"What happened? It started just now."
"How disgusting! What a way to move!"
"Didn't you ask me to do this!?"
The stupid goddess who was scolded also looked aggrieved.
"In other words, you are the one who—" Xiaolin tried to organize his words and said uncertainly: "The one who controls the water, is that right?"
"Of course I am the goddess of water."
Aqua raised her head proudly.
Xiao Lin cursed unhappily: "How dirty! Isn't this just playing tricks?"
"This is not a trick! It is my power that controls the water. Isn't this swimming by my own power? Or is it that the rules prohibit the use of one's own power?"
Can't refute.
Indeed, the rules did not forbid the use of this kind of power. It would be more accurate to say that from the beginning the rules did not prohibit other forms of swimming in the lake, nor did they prohibit the use of magic.
In other words, it was Kobayashi who tied himself up, otherwise he would have swam to the other side using various methods.
This was the first time that Aqua had rendered him speechless.
hateful.
When did this guy become so smart with his words?
But I'm a little bit unwilling to accept this kind of thing.
Just when Xiaolin didn't know how to criticize Aqua for being sneaky, the stupid goddess looked behind her and said, "Hey, Xiaolin, everyone seems to be catching up with us, what should we do?"
Xiaolin also looked behind him.
"Well, don't worry too much. At this rate, we should be the first to reach the finish line. Forget it, to be on the safe side, let's shorten the time as much as possible and speed up a bit."
Those male adventurers tried desperately to catch up, but they were a little too late. Kobayashi and the others were almost at the finish line, so no matter how hard they tried, it was of no avail.
"Hey, Xiaolin, if we win the championship, don't you think my contribution will be quite significant?"
"That's true. I have no way to refute it. You are definitely the best MVP of this event. There is no doubt about that."
"So, it's unfair to distribute the prize money equally, that's what I think."
Aqua suddenly blurted out these words.
Kobayashi suddenly had a bad feeling that the stupid goddess might start to act stupidly again at this critical moment.
"...What do you want to say?"
"Hmm? I take 60%... No, I think it's only natural that I take 70%. What do you think, Xiaolin?"
"I think you're really greedy."
The stupid goddess' lion opened her mouth so wide that even Kobayashi almost couldn't hold it back.
How could she be so shameless and say such an exaggerated share of the profits? Didn't she think about how much money it would be?
Unexpectedly, Aqua suddenly said pitifully: "Waaaaah, Xiaolin! Because I owe too much to the guild, the food I ordered is not served, and even every time I complete a mission, half of the bounty is deducted as repayment! Even if I say I want to pay, they don't believe it!"
"You want someone else to pay the money for you? That's too much!"
Xiaolin condemned her loudly.
"I want to drink more and feel comfortable. I want to eat and drink as I please!"
"Don't secretly increase it by 10%!"
"With so much money, I can not only pay off the tavern bill, but also various debts."
Different kinds……
Kobayashi curled the corner of his mouth. From what the stupid goddess said, it seemed that she not only owed the guild, but also owed a lot of money to other people. No wonder she asked for such a high price.
"Xiao Lin, this is my lifelong request! Please!"
"Ah, that's so annoying, don't come and hug me!"
Aqua seemed to notice Kobayashi's reluctance, so she swam over and hugged him tightly.
But soon, she immediately distanced herself from him.
He looked at Xiaolin with a surprised and shy expression.
"Hey, what's wrong?"
"Don't play dumb! Did you pull the strap of my swimsuit?"
"Huh? What? It's not me."
Xiaolin frowned.
He would never do that kind of thing. No, it should be said that he would only do that kind of thing in private.
“Huh…Huh…What are you doing in a place like this?”
"If you want to have a quarrel... wait until we get ashore... it's very dangerous in a place like this..."
Megumin, Darkness and the others also caught up and lectured Krillin and Aqua.
"No, I don't know why."
"So now Xiaolin——"
Aqua's cheeks were red, and she didn't let Kobayashi go.
After seeing this, Youyou said shyly: "Ms. Aqua, swimsuit——"
Wiz also frowned slightly, and said shyly and reluctantly: "Ah, is Mr. Kobayashi causing trouble again?"
"Xiao Lin, think about the current situation."
Chris also condemned Xiaolin.
He really was speaking out for himself.
"Calm down, you guys. My arms aren't that long, are they?!"
Xiaolin gestured.
At this distance, he couldn't reach Aqua, so her swimsuit being taken off should have nothing to do with him!
"Ah, wait a minute!"
Hui Hui suddenly shouted and said nervously: "I think I saw something just now."
"Huh?! That shadow!"
Darkness also immediately became alert.
Kobayashi looked around and honestly didn't see anything strange, but Aqua suddenly started yelling in fear.
"Crocodile! Which crocodile is it!"
"Yes, it does look like a crocodile..."
"That shadow can't be wrong."
Megumin and Darkness confirmed it.
Youyou looked at the shadow of the crocodile and said, "But, but...it's really small."
"Yes, very small."
"He must have just been born."
Wiz and Chris said so.
The crocodile that appeared in the lake was only about one finger wide. Not only was it too small to be spotted, it also appeared very transparent.
It's almost invisible if you're not paying attention.
Although it is a crocodile, it is not scary at all when it is just born. On the contrary, it is quite cute.
But Aqua was already frightened.
“Help, help me! Mr. Kobayashi, please, help me!”
Aqua hid behind Kobayashi and trembled in fear.
Obviously, the crocodile caused her great psychological trauma, and she has not recovered until now.
"Ah, this is the end. The goddess of water is frightened by such a small creature, what should I do?"
“Yes, that’s what I said…”
Aqua seemed to feel that she was too embarrassed and felt a little ashamed.
However, Wiz said seriously, "No, although it is young, it is a vicious and violent short alligator. I'm afraid its jaws are strong enough to bite off branches."
“Waaaaaa – Mr. Kobayashi!”
Aqua was riding on Kobayashi's body and would not get off no matter how hard they pulled her.
Xiaolin said helplessly: "Wiz, why did you deliberately say something to scare Aqua?"
"Ah, I'm sorry!"
Weiss was a little embarrassed, but she said she was telling the truth and had no intention of intimidating.
