Chapter 737 Help from Sato Kazuma
After not seeing each other for a long time, Sena actually learned to keep people in suspense. When Aqua and the others were about to give up, she slowly spoke with a somewhat strange expression.
"The requirements for the uniform are - when you see your childhood sweetheart, a boy and a girl walking together, you might think, 'Who is that kid?' That's enough to make you feel jealous and angry. That's all."
"……What!?"
"My childhood sweetheart——"
"No, no, no, I've already memorized the content. No need to repeat it."
"It seems like he said something extraordinary with a serious expression."
Huihui's words were exactly what Xiaolin wanted to complain about.
Sena's personality is old-fashioned, so even if it is extremely embarrassing, she can repeat it without being moved, which really makes people feel her strong nerves.
Aqua rubbed her shoulders with both hands and said with a chill, "Speaking of which, when I think about the request just now being made by a noble uncle, I feel so disgusted."
"Don't say it. I don't dare to think about it."
To be precise, I dare not recall.
Kobayashi was disgusted by that guy at the beginning, but it was even more unbearable that Sato Kazuma could make money and continued to make clothes.
"Rather than that, what should we do? Can we make clothes like this?"
Xiaolin scratched his head in distress.
He was not a master of making clothes like Sato Kazuma. Rather, he felt that the noble was making things difficult for him.
and--
Huihui was also a little worried. “It should be possible to make clothes that can resist abnormal conditions, but I’ve never heard of clothes that can change your mood just by wearing them.”
"That's right. Controlling one's inner thoughts is no longer within the scope of clothing."
Darkness echoed with equal dissatisfaction.
Xiao Lin scratched his head and asked, "Aqua, let me confirm, can you do it?"
"I have no idea how to make clothes like that." Aqua shook her head helplessly.
"That is to say..."
Xiao Lin sighed and said, "Just refuse now and think of a way to clear your suspicion."
"Also, if you refuse, it will be a capital crime."
"Eh……"
"Knew it."
"Why!?"
Aqua roared in dissatisfaction, and Darkness said as if she had expected it, “To be rejected even though a favor has been done to you is to bring shame upon others, and is therefore punishable by death.”
"What? This! This is too unreasonable!"
"Give up, Aqua, this happens all the time."
"So it's the Middle Ages!"
Aqua held her head and roared loudly. After all, she had been the goddess of the island country before, and had seen many different worlds, including the end of the world. But now she was being controlled by a small noble from the Middle Ages. How embarrassing!
Sena was not afraid that they would obey. She pushed her glasses and said coldly, "Contact me immediately after the clothes are made. I will check the clothes you made carefully and then hand them over to the nobles."
I see. It seems that Kobayashi and the others are not trusted.
This is understandable.
After all, the nobles used coercion as a method. If Kobayashi and the others had malicious intentions, they would definitely put some messy things in the clothes to punish the damn noble.
As for Sena, the prosecutor of the kingdom, not to mention that she has no grudges against Kobayashi and others, if anything unexpected happens to her, it would be a complete provocation to the kingdom, and she might be convicted of even more excessive crimes.
"Well, I will tell the nobles about your decision. Please work hard to repay the nobles' kindness."
She nodded and turned to leave.
How can this be called a favor?
Why, why do such troublesome and unlucky things always happen? There must be a limit to the occurrence of difficult events!
However, saying this will not change the current situation, so we can only think about how to get out of the predicament and overcome the current difficulties.
"I'm talking to you guys."
Xiao Lin looked at his companions who also had unhappy expressions and said, "We have already accepted the conditions. We can only make the clothes. Let's think of a solution together."
He didn't expect Aqua and the others to come up with any good solution.
But as the saying goes, three heads are better than one, brainstorming can always develop a lot of inspiration, maybe there is what is needed. However——
After thinking for a while, Aqua muttered softly: "Escape late at night..."
"what?"
"That's right! We fled in the middle of the night! It's a shame to give up our current life, but there's no point in dying, right? Let's run away to Alcanretia. As long as we get there, even the nobles won't dare to arrest us!"
“Is the power of the Axis Cult so great? No, no, no, I want to ask how to make the corresponding clothes…”
Xiaolin waved his hand.
It would be better to kill him than to let him live with the Axis believers.
At this time, Liu Zi said respectfully: "Master Xiaolin, why don't you just let me kill that nobleman? In this way, there is no need to make clothes for him, right? Don't worry, no one will know it was us who did it."
"No, when you say this in public, this method is no longer valid."
Xiao Lin waved his hand.
It's not that he disagrees with this method. Rather, it is a more convenient and quicker method. However, if Sena tracks them down, he can guarantee that he will not be exposed by the magic tool that can detect lies. But Aqua and the others will have no chance of doing so.
So, no.
"Well, well, in that case, let's use explosion magic to burn everything to ashes!"
"It's not even as good as the assassination just now. How is it different from a blatant crime? Stop it, it will only increase the crime. By the way, at least use your brains before speaking."
Xiaolin rolled his eyes in annoyance.
He was wrong, he really was.
I shouldn't have consulted with these stupid problem children. Instead, I should have thought about what to do on my own. These guys' panic has already infected me.
"Really? Didn't I tell you that it's best to focus on clearing your suspicion first?"
It seems that there is still one person in the team who can remain calm.
“Darkness…”
"You look like you need an education."
Taking it back, this guy has the same problem, and it’s a big one!
Not good. Now I remember that Darkness is still cursed.
“Xiaolin, now is the time!” Huihui urged, “In order to remove Darkness’ curse, please let her punch me twice!”
"I told you I'd die."
Xiaolin refused to agree.
Aqua advised: “Darkness, instead of educating her, you should prepare to escape late at night first!”
"Don't always think about running away. Think about making clothes."
"Even if you say so, Xiaolin..."
Aqua looked like she was at a complete loss. Although she was very skillful and the things she made were very exquisite and even popular, she had no idea how to make those vague clothes that would make people jealous.
There's nothing I can do.
…Not quite. Aqua seemed to have thought of something. Her eyes lit up and she shouted, “Right, right! Use the slate. Use that slate!”
“Yeah! If we use the shiny black slate, can’t we get out of this crisis?!” Huihui seemed to have seized an opportunity.
"No, no, no, wait a minute, you might get cursed."
Xiaolin dissuaded.
That stone tablet is indeed powerful, and it is really surprising that it can change Darkness's personality. However, the fact that it will be cursed has already scared Xiaolin, so he will decline the offer.
"That's no problem."
"Ok?"
"If what's written on the slate is true, then only one person will be cursed, right?"
That being said...
Did these guys completely ignore the curse in order to solve the current crisis? However, if they did not rely on the stone tablet, they would not be able to overcome the current difficulties. They were suddenly in a dilemma.
Xiaolin didn't know what to do.
Huihui made a quick decision and said, “Well, let’s quickly gather the materials and start experimenting!”
"It's true that we can probably make clothes with that stone slab, but what kind of clothes we make depends on the materials. Can you think of materials that meet the conditions just now?" Kobayashi asked.
Aqua's expression turned awkward.
"What kind of clothes are you asking for?"
"When I see my childhood sweetheart boy and girl walking together, I wonder, 'Who is that kid?' I wonder what kind of clothes would make me feel jealous and upset."
"Well, well, the key words are important at this time!"
Huihui immediately extracted the key words.
“The key words here are…”
"Hmm, what's the key word?"
"Jealous!"
"Yeah, it's jealousy! I thought so too!"
The stupid goddess kept agreeing, and honestly, I couldn't figure out whether she was just saying it to go with the flow or if she was really thinking.
"so--"
Xiao Lin spread his hands and said, "What is the material that can produce jealousy?"
“…What is it?”
"What is it?"
The two of them looked at each other stupidly.
There is no way around it. After all, Sena's request is so ambiguous and even related to emotions.
"Isn't this like trying to cook without knowing the ingredients? Do you think you can make a proper dish this way?"
"But, is there any other way? If we continue like this, we can only escape in the middle of the night! Anyway, let's give it a try!"
At least Aqua didn't want to escape overnight, but what she did was even more dangerous than before!
"But isn't it a waste of time to collect materials and try to synthesize them without any clue?"
Darkness disagreed.
"That's it..."
"That's right..."
The two of them became depressed again.
How to do?
Although the probability of success is very low, it is much better than wondering here, right?
Just when Xiaolin decided to take action regardless of whether it would work or not, a particularly unpleasant and disturbing laugh suddenly came from the mansion.
“Hahahahaha! He looks very troubled. This unlucky guy who always gets into trouble, and his cheerful friends!”
"Barnil?!"
Everyone looked surprised when they saw the demon appear in the mansion.
"When did you come?"
"I am the great devil who can see through everything. Why? This is a really stupid question, boy."
Vanir puffed out his chest proudly.
The stupid goddess snapped her fingers in dissatisfaction and said angrily: "Wait a minute, who agreed to let you step into my sacred home?"
"Oh, this is really rude. I didn't expect that I would need permission." Vanir seemed to give in, but he immediately changed the subject and said, "However, the barrier of this mansion is still the same as before, a half-baked thing. If we really want to defend against invaders, it seems that the novice priests are a little incapable. Boy, do you want me to introduce you to a high priest of the Church of Eris? I guarantee that he is more powerful than this guy."
"Um……"
"Drink it."
"Holy Purification—"
"stop it now!"
Just when the stupid goddess was about to rush forward and fight with Vanir like a shrew, Krillin immediately hugged the impulsive Aqua.
"Why are you hindering me?"
"We are still in the mansion, so that will be enough. Besides, now is not the time to do such trivial things."
"A trivial matter!? How dare you say that an important issue related to my dignity is an insignificant trivial matter?!"
"So, are you going to make preparations for a late-night escape with all your dignity?"
"Well----"
The stupid goddess was speechless after being rebuked by Kobayashi, and finally she could only pout unwillingly, indicating that she understood and would not argue with the damn devil who suddenly broke into the mansion.
Barnil snorted.
"Well, let's get down to business, kid. First of all, I came here to bring you this thing."
"what is this?"
"Like a letter."
“It has the name of the item written on it.”
Everyone looked at the parchment-like thing in their hands, somewhat confused, and there were inexplicable words written on it - eighteen hemp ropes, thirteen light feathers, and an orange gem?
"what is this?"
"This is the recipe for the clothes you are asked to make. In my words, it is the ingredients for cooking. With these ingredients and the stone slab you picked up, you can make the clothes the nobles want."
"Really, really?!"
Hearing him say that, Huihui exclaimed in surprise.
Xiao Lin thought that this thing came at a great chance, and frowned as he asked, "Why do you have this thing? Did you see something?"
"No, this is not what we prepared, and there is no reason for us to be so biased towards you."
Unexpectedly, Vanir shook his head.
"This is what the good-for-nothing adventurer who has been out doing business for two months asked me to give to you. Of course, according to what he said, it's a man in a pitch-black robe. Bring it into the store and have him give it to you."
“Kazuma?!”
"Sato-kun?!"
"Who is that person in the dark robe?"
Compared to Aqua and the others who care about Sato Kazuma, Kobayashi is more concerned about the man in the black robe and what his purpose is.
"Who knows."
Banil shook his head and said, “That kid asked the same question, but he left without saying anything.
