Chapter 771 The New and Final Formula
Chapter 771 The New and Final Formula
Xiao Lin was not willing to delve into what these guys were up to, because no matter what, he would be in trouble in the end, so his only rule was to never get involved.
"Mr. Kobayashi, Mr. Kobayashi!"
At this time, Wiz's urging voice was heard outside the courtyard of the mansion, and everyone could hear that the person calling them was Wiz.
"look."
"What's wrong?" Aqua pouted unhappily and said, "Why are you yelling outside when you can just come in?"
"What can others do to get in the barrier you cast?"
"Ah, yes."
"Don't forget it, please."
The stupid goddess had a look of realization on her face.
This guy has a lot of complaints about Vanir, and he has been harassed by the undead recently, and his clothes have been stolen by the undead. Aqua feels that the mansion is not as safe as before, so she added several layers of protective barriers. As a result, not only can Wiz not get in, but even Vanir has a hard time getting in. I don't understand why this guy is working so hard.
Afterwards, everyone arrived at the courtyard and found Wiz standing there waiting for them.
"Ah, it's finally here!"
“You actually came here.” Darkness saw that Wiz was a little surprised. “What’s wrong? Is there something wrong?”
"Yes! Actually, I have something to pass on to you." Wiz pulled out a piece of parchment from his chest, handed it to Xiaolin and said, "Here, this is it."
"this is……"
"Could it be the formula for the clothes?!"
This kind of parchment looked too familiar. They had obtained the clothing formula from Wiz before, so they were very familiar with it.
"No no no, this is weird!"
"Hasn't the criminal been purified by Miss Aqua?!"
Huihui and Youyou shouted.
In fact, it was just as they said. They had planned to arrest the criminal who delivered the formula and stole the clothes, so they set up an ambush in Wiz's magic tool shop. But due to the reckless behavior of the stupid goddess, the criminal - the undead who was possessed by the puppet inside, was purified on the spot... What on earth is going on?
When everyone looked puzzled, Wiz said in a strange tone: "Actually, regarding this recipe, it was dropped in the store, and the criminal didn't give it to me directly."
"Did you drop it in the store?"
"Wiz, what does this mean?"
Everyone continued to ask questions.
"I found this formula when I was cleaning this morning." Wiz thought for a moment and said, "It might be something that the prisoner dropped during the previous commotion. That person probably left this thing behind before being purified."
I see. Is that so?
If that's the case, then it makes sense.
Darkness looked at the recipe and said excitedly, “If this is the same recipe as usual, I can complete the noble’s request…”
"But I always feel like something is not right." Xiaolin said, touching his chin.
“That’s true.”
"No, you definitely don't understand."
Just as Aqua said this, Kobayashi subconsciously refuted her.
"I know!" Aqua pouted unhappily and said, "When I was purifying the prisoners, we hadn't been told about this commission yet. It's strange that the prisoners at that time would have the formula for the clothes."
"What? Such a normal reaction." Xiao Lin spread his hands and said, "If you are an artist, you should just act stupid. There is no point in that, right?"
"I'm really going to beat you up."
Aqua clenched her fists.
Kobayashi is now cursed, so everyone except herself can be healed here in his body. However, for some reason, Kobayashi is not only indifferent to Aqua, but sometimes even complains about her like this.
Wiz said uneasily at this time: "Could it be that the prisoner is still alive?"
“That’s impossible.” Aqua asserted, “I’m a goddess, and my abilities are terrifyingly strong. And that wasn’t a high-level undead spirit that could withstand my purification magic, and I’ve confirmed that the guy’s soul has been purified.”
Kobayashi also agreed with this aspect. After all, no matter how unreliable the stupid goddess was, she was still an expert in dealing with the undead, so he chose to believe what she said.
Everyone also nodded.
The unreliable Aqua can only gain everyone's recognition when dealing with the undead.
"But in this case, we can only assume that it fell at that time." Wiz said in surprise, "But isn't it strange that that person knew about it in advance?"
"It doesn't matter to me."
Xiaolin spread his hands casually.
Wiz let out a surprised sound and asked subconsciously, "Why? Mr. Kobayashi doesn't care about this, does he?"
"No matter where this formula came from, the prisoner is no longer in this world." Kobayashi's expression was a little gloomy, and he sighed and said: "Well, by making clothes commissioned by nobles, I can live a little longer. But the future of being sentenced to death cannot be changed... Hahaha——"
At the end, Xiaolin couldn't help but smile bitterly.
In the invisible future, with such tragic things about to happen, if he could still laugh, then he would definitely be Super Happy Man.
"I say, Xiaolin."
Darkness seemed to be unable to bear it any longer. She patted Xiaolin on the shoulder and said, "I understand that you are feeling very upset right now, but now that you have the formula, it's time to be more positive."
"That's right." Aqua also persuaded: "In addition to catching the criminal, there may be other ways to prove innocence. During this period of time, we should try our best to search, and we must not give up!"
"After all, it was you who messed up because of your impatience!" Kobayashi pressed the stupid goddess' forehead unhappily.
"So I've already said it, I've apologized many times!"
If apologies work, what's the point of having security guards?
But now it is not a situation where they can just hand over Aqua and the matter will be resolved, because the Kingdom Prosecutor Miss Sena said that the evil lord is sure of them, and there is no other way except to prove their innocence.
"There's no other way. In this case, we can only resort to hiding methods."
"Hidden means?"
Huihui saw Xiaolin's negative attitude and said this. After hearing this, Wiz looked at her strangely.
"Well, just watch."
The little Loli said something casually and came to Xiaolin's side.
"Xiao Lin, Xiao Lin."
"what happened?"
Xiaolin has a bad temper.
He probably still couldn't get over the Aqua incident, and he didn't know why, but the more he thought about it, the angrier he felt.
Hui Hui didn't care. She smiled and said, "Recently, working hard on making clothes can heal me. Xiao Lin will help me, right?"
"Well, of course!" Kobayashi agreed without hesitation.
However, this abnormal state surprised Wiz.
"Eh!?"
"Well, what happened?"
"Because, weren't you reluctant just now, Mr. Kobayashi? Why did you suddenly..."
This is similar to the fact that Aqua has always had a deep hostility towards the Lich Girl, but Megumin said, "You two should make peace with each other, and I will be very happy if you do that," and then Aqua decisively made friends with Wiz.
Both Aqua's attitude and this unreasonable request were puzzling to Wiz.
“Wiz, this situation is very complicated.” Darkness quickly stopped Wiz from asking further questions and said in a rather urgent tone: “I will explain it to you later, so please do not spread what you have seen now.”
“Ah, ah… OK, I understand…”
Although Wiz felt strange, she chose not to spread the news since Darkness said so.
This aspect is still guaranteed.
“Okay!” Huihui shouted, “Now Xiaolin is motivated, let’s continue to work hard on making clothes—!”
"Oh!" Xiaolin also shouted after her and decided to make clothes.
Meanwhile, Darkness curled her lips and said, “Aqua, now we can be sure.”
"Well, can't we just lie to him then?" Aqua also felt that it was unreasonable, and said seriously, "Let's quickly resolve Xiaolin's abnormal condition before he causes us trouble."
This was the first time she became serious - because of Xiaolin's matter.
----
"I'm back--"
"Welcome back!"
In the evening, Kobayashi returned to the mansion and saw Aqua sitting cross-legged in the living room, fiddling with something under the light. He subconsciously raised his eyebrows.
"Uh, what are you doing?"
"You can tell at a glance that I'm making fake flowers."
Aqua said this as a matter of course, and showed Kobayashi the artificial flowers she had made.
"That's not what I meant." Xiao Lin crossed his arms and said, "What I want to ask is, why are you here, and why don't you turn on the lights?"
"If I stay in my room, I'll feel like a stay-at-home mom."
"I'm not a parasite, nor am I a stay-at-home mom!"
"Hey, I didn't say a word about you, Xiaolin. Why are you so anxious to explain?"
"Well!"
Aqua covered her mouth and looked at him with a teasing expression. This was no different from "anxious", which made her feel a little unhappy.
"Also, don't turn on the lights."
"why?"
"Hmm... How should I put it? It feels more like I'm doing a secondary job. It can improve my concentration."
"I see."
Xiaolin scratched his head.
If it were someone else, he would definitely say turn on the light, which is not good for the eyes. But for the stupid goddess, who can see at night, no, the night vision is better than his, it doesn't matter whether there is light or not.
“But, please clean up when Huihui and the others come back.”
“Hehehe~Hehehe~Hehehe~Hehehe~”
Aqua was humming an unknown tune, and although it sounded quite nice, Kobayashi still kept staring at her.
"stare----"
"..."
"stare----"
"Um, Mr. Kobayashi. Why are you staring at me?"
Aqua shook her body uncomfortably, her expression became somewhat awkward, and even the movements of her hands gradually became slower.
Xiao Lin didn't care and said, "Nothing, I was just thinking that you have really good cooking skills...or something."
"That's true." Aqua nodded, looking at the fake flowers in her hand with a nostalgic expression, and her tone softened as she said, "After all, I used to make fake flowers often, and I can earn some pocket money."
Life in stables and barns?
To be honest, I don’t want to recall those days.
I once told Mouyun that I liked the life of a teacher earning a few dozen dollars a month the most, but Xiaolin always sneered at me.
How could the days back then be as happy as they are now?
"My craftsmanship has not deteriorated!" Aqua proudly raised the artificial flower in her hand and said, "Look, Xiaolin! This is a perfect shape!"
Even if Aqua said so...
Although Xiaolin thought it was well done, he really didn't understand it. In other words, he didn't have the corresponding aesthetic sense. If a master of flower arrangement or a master of craftsmanship saw this fake flower, he would definitely be very excited.
Aqua kept fiddling with the fake flowers in her hands, saying, "I can do this with my eyes closed. First like this, then like this, then like this... Look, it's done!"
"Hey, you're really skilled." Xiao Lin couldn't help but admire him. "You can do it mechanically without thinking, right?"
Should we say that practice makes perfect, or should we say that Aqua is just too amazing?
In just a few seconds, a fake flower took shape in her hands and became lifelike. The only problem was that it looked a little fake. It wasn't that these flowers looked fake, but how to describe it...
No, there is no feeling of life!
This is also the disadvantage of mechanical repetitive operations.
Aqua was a little dissatisfied with this. She pouted and said, "I don't deny this, but can you please not use the word mechanical?"
"What's the difference?"
"Listen carefully. These flowers are indeed artificial, but the customers really want them, so they still have to be made carefully, right? Even if the person who receives them doesn't understand my intentions, high-quality works can still enrich the entire space!"
"Oh, oh...yeah."
Honestly, I don't understand it at all.
This is probably related to flower arrangement or something like that, cultivating one's sentiments or something like that, but Kobayashi knows nothing about it and is totally unqualified to comment on it.
Also, although it’s great that Aqua is so enthusiastic, this is just a job of making artificial flowers…
What on earth was she so excited about?
However, Xiaolin did not argue, nor did he say that the artificial flowers made by Aqua were not good. Instead, he said that her flowers were really good. Even though they looked the same and there was almost no difference, her exquisite craftsmanship still made people admire her.
As expected, apart from her job, Aqua can do everything well, even making artificial flowers.
Xiaolin did not disturb her but stayed with her.
Although there was no way to help, he watched the stupid goddess busying herself until late at night.
