Chapter 696 Another Pair of Underwear
"Hmm... Hmm...! Is it morning already..."
When the sunlight shone on Xiaolin's face, he felt a sense of comfort.
It was so comfortable to sleep.
I feel like I haven't slept so soundly in a long time.
In the past, either there were quarrels in the mansion, or the stupid goddess held him in her arms and made him unable to breathe. This kind of comfort is really rare.
"…Hmm? What is this?"
Kobayashi raised his hand to stretch, and suddenly found that he was holding an unusual object, a white triangle, and the fabric was of excellent texture.
——! ?
"Could it be... what, underwear again?!"
Xiao Lin was completely dumbfounded.
He really wanted to say that this was definitely not underwear, but the shape after it was unfolded made him unable to deny that it was undoubtedly a pair of white underwear.
Damn, is this ring the cause of this trouble again?
wait a minute.
There should have been no one else in the mansion last night except Xiaolin himself, so why did he steal someone's underwear?
Think about it for a moment.
Huh, I see.
She must have been concerned about his safety, so she ran back in the middle of the night. Although she said no, her body was still very honest.
Really.
If I had known this, why didn’t I say hello to him before going to bed?
Am I so prestigious in their hearts?
Yeah, that’s definitely the case.
After all, Kobayashi is not a despicable scum like Sato Kazuma. Although Aqua and the others' attitudes have taken a sharp turn for the worse recently, his long-standing prestige still makes them recognize him.
Yes, that must be the case!
While thinking, Xiaolin came to the living room of the mansion.
"Good morning, everyone—"
After saying hello, he found that there was no one in the living room. It seemed that he was the only one in the empty room.
What are you doing.
Is no one up yet?
Not necessarily, Darkness might be doing morning exercises in the yard.
Come to the courtyard.
“Hmm… You’re not here. In that case…”
Come to the bathhouse.
No one was taking an early bath.
Of course, if there was, he wouldn't be able to stand and talk now...
wait a minute.
How strange, no one got up, and there was no sign of anyone. Even if they were asleep, there would always be breathing and turning sounds, right? Could it be that no one actually came back? Then what exactly is this pair of underwear...
Kobayashi looked at the white underwear in his hand, and suddenly beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
Did I steal it from the closet?
Is this ring so eager for underwear? Please, spare me.
Anyway, I had to put my underwear back before everyone came back. If they knew I stole underwear from the closet, who knows how bad it would be for me. And if I was caught, even Huang Ni wouldn't be able to explain it.
That being said.
Kobayashi looked at the white panties in his hand again.
"Whose underwear is this? Even if I want to return it, I don't know where to return it. Are there any clues? There's no owner's name written on it."
Xiaolin spread out his underwear and examined it carefully.
But before he could notice anything, the door was suddenly pushed open and Aqua and the others ran back in a hurry.
"What, what happened?!"
"Ah! I knew it was Kobayashi again!"
The stupid goddess pointed at Xiaolin, or to be more precise, at the underwear in his hand, and yelled.
"Eh?"
"Tell me, what methods did you use?"
Huihui asked bluntly.
"Wait, wait!" Xiao Lin waved his hands and shouted, "What do you want to do? I don't understand what you are saying!"
"Don't be pretentious!"
"Hey!"
"Xiao Lin, look at what you are holding in your hand."
Just when he was about to teach Huihui a lesson angrily, Darkness signaled him to look at her hands with her eyes.
Ah!
It's underwear!
It’s over. I must have been misunderstood again.
Kobayashi's expression was quite subtle, and he had no idea how to defend himself.
Chris also looked at him suspiciously and asked, "Uh... Xiaolin really didn't leave the mansion last night, right?"
"Ah, I didn't go out even a step." Xiaolin nodded seriously.
But Wiz was curious and asked, "Then why can you steal underwear?"
"I suddenly feel a chill down my spine." Youyou said with an uneasy look on her face, "Could it be what we think? That's too unbearable."
"Eh? Wait, wait, wait! Can you explain the situation to me first?"
Xiaolin was a little anxious.
How did these people suddenly become Riddler?
"Before that, I want to confirm one thing first." Huihui stared at him and asked, "What were you trying to do sneaking around in front of my door just now?"
"Eh? No, I didn't do anything."
"Please tell the truth. It's useless to deny it now."
“… Never mind. I admit it.”
Under the questioning of Aqua and the others, Kobayashi raised his hands to show that he admitted defeat and surrendered, then he sighed helplessly and began to explain.
"Actually, the power of this ring seemed to be activated again last night. When I opened my eyes, I was holding a pair of underwear in my hand. So I thought maybe they were stolen from someone's closet-"
"And you were trying to sneak into my room to cover up the truth, right?"
"Can you please stop saying cover-up, it makes me sound like a criminal."
"Since you stole someone else's underwear, I think it's a crime."
What she said makes sense!
Xiao Lin was speechless!
Actually, we can't blame him. After all, the first victim was Huihui. Kobayashi thought that the underwear might also belong to Huihui, so he planned to return it secretly. Unexpectedly, he was caught by Aqua who came back.
"OK OK."
Darkness waved her hand and said, “You are worthy of praise for being able to confess your crime.”
"It's because you always spoil Xiaolin like this that he becomes more and more unscrupulous." Huihui sighed and complained, and then confirmed again: "Then Xiaolin, let me ask you again. You really didn't leave this mansion last night, right?"
"I don't know why you're bothering with this kind of thing. Didn't you just steal this pair of underwear from the closet?"
Xiaolin felt strange.
After all, Aqua and the others were staying at Wiz's magic tool shop last night, and Xiaolin was the only one in the mansion, and even the succubus hadn't been there. No matter how you look at it, the ring must have been stolen from the closet without permission.
however--
Wiz shook his head seriously.
"It doesn't look that way."
“…Huh? What’s going on?”
"In fact, there wasn't a single pair of underwear in the mansion yesterday."
"……Aha?!"
Hearing Darkness say this, Kobayashi opened his mouth in astonishment.
"We packed everything before we left, anticipating the possibility of stealing underwear from the closet."
"Doesn't that mean...!"
Xiao Lin looked at the underwear tightly held in his hand, and the corners of his mouth couldn't stop tugging. He swallowed his saliva and said, "So, what exactly is this underwear...ah! I remember that Aqua said 'I knew it was Xiao Lin' just now. Could it be that this pair of underwear was taken off your body?!"
"…………"
Silence, wordless silence.
All the girls remained silent. They just looked at Xiaolin quietly. They said nothing, yet it seemed as if they had said everything.
This reaction is simply amazing.
It seems that I stole some underwear from a sleeping girl again!
But how did I do it?
Xiaolin was also confused.
Last night, there was not a single pair of underwear in this mansion, but a pair appeared in his hand. What does this mean? !
Xiaolin stared at the underwear carefully.
Youyou couldn't stand it. Her cheeks turned red as she whispered in condemnation: "Well, that... Mr. Kobayashi, you spread your underwear so seriously, isn't it a bit..."
“It’s exactly the same as Kazuma.”
Aqua said this with a tone of great disgust.
This guy curses so dirty!
Xiao Lin glared at her unhappily and argued loudly: "Hey, don't talk about this in such a serious tone, okay? I will get hurt! As long as I know who the owner is, I will return it immediately. Tell me quickly!"
"Uh……"
"Well..."
"that……"
Aqua and the others fell silent once again.
Chris said with a headache: "Didn't I tell you before? If you steal the underwear and then return it like that, anyone would feel embarrassed."
Is my gentlemanly behavior so disturbing?
Xiaolin seems to have no self-awareness.
But thinking about it the other way around, it could also be that Chris wanted to get away with it, so let's just record it as testimony first...
Hui Hui said loudly with some dissatisfaction: "So I said, the most reasonable way is to put the underwear in a fixed place and let the owner take it back quietly!"
As someone who had her underwear stolen before, she has the most say.
But placing underwear in a fixed place and secretly observing the other person's reaction... this method seems reasonable, but it is not gentlemanly at all!
I just wanted to be a gentleman and return the underwear to its owner intact!
There is no unreasonable thought at all!
Let me record this as a testimony...
"I've said it many times, my gentleman soul will never allow me to do this!" Kobayashi has his own persistence and he is stubborn and unwilling to change.
Chris shook his head and sighed helplessly.
"Hey, I hope you can understand the girl's heart here."
Xiao Lin suddenly said, "Come to think of it, some of you are not wearing underwear now, right?"
"Eh?!"
Youyou suddenly stiffened all over.
Wiz covered her skirt awkwardly and whispered, "Um, that... Mr. Kobayashi, your eyes are a bit obscene..."
"Ah, sorry."
Xiaolin coughed lightly.
Aqua stared at the ring in his hand and said unhappily, "Anyway, this ring seems to be more difficult to deal with than we thought."
"Yes."
Hui Hui agreed deeply. She also snorted in dissatisfaction: "We were all together yesterday and no one approached this mansion, but in the end, we were not spared."
Doesn't this mean that all their preparations have been wasted?
Moreover, the theft was carried out without regard for distance, which made them feel a strong sense of crisis.
Darkness wondered, "Could it be that Xiaolin was wandering around the street unconscious and walked to where we live?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? It's like I have sleepwalking, which makes me feel uneasy. Also, let me make it clear in advance that I don't have that symptom. Instead, Aqua often comes to me in the middle of the night." Kobayashi said unhappily.
But Aqua didn't come last night, so that's a big problem.
Liu Zi also spoke up: "Master Xiaolin did not sneak into our residence last night. If Master Xiaolin was within a thousand meters of me, I would be able to sense him."
"What is that, precision radar?"
Aqua didn't expect that Ryuzi had such a function.
There is no point in continuing this discussion.
Wiz suggested, "Well, how about letting me investigate the ring again?"
"Wiz, is there anything you're concerned about?" Kobayashi asked curiously.
"No, I just want to confirm one thing." She took Xiaolin's hand, looked at the ring carefully, then nodded and muttered in understanding: "I see, is that the case?"
"Wiz, did you find anything?"
"It seems that this ring has the effect of enhancing the wearer's abilities."
"Strong Chinese ability?"
Xiao Lin blinked.
Wiz nodded and said, "In Mr. Kobayashi's case, I think it's very likely that the theft ability has been enhanced, the coverage of the theft effect has been expanded, and the accuracy has been improved, so that it can forcibly steal underwear from distant targets."
"Hey, hey, hey, even if it's strengthening, there has to be a limit, right?"
Darkness was a little bit unconvinced.
After all, from Liu Zi's words, we learned that the straight-line distance between Kobayashi and them last night was more than one thousand meters. It seems impossible to steal the underwear at such a long distance.
"But in reality, the underwear was really stolen."
Huihui couldn't help but sigh.
Facts speak louder than words, as Sherlock Holmes once said, no matter how bizarre the truth is, what remains after eliminating all the impossibilities is the truth.
He can steal from a distance of one thousand meters, even accurately stealing underwear.
All I can say is that you are invincible, kid.
Aqua shook her head helplessly and said, "If this is true, there is no point in us hiding."
Her words made everyone look a little awkward.
"What's that look? If you have something to say, just say it."
"Nothing, I just think you are a scumbag among scumbags, even worse than scumbag Kazuma."
"It's not because I like it!"
Xiaolin yelled angrily.
By the way, why did she curse so harshly?
"In short, we can't let this ring do whatever it wants!" Aqua slammed the table and shouted in dissatisfaction, "I really have no choice but to cut it off. Come on, Xiaolin, I'll help you!"
"How did it become a broken wrist? Didn't we agree that only the fingers would be cut off?!"
"Ah, so you can accept cutting off your finger, then let's hurry up."
"That's not what I meant. Don't try to trick me with those sweet words!"
Xiao Lin rolled his eyes angrily.
This stupid goddess actually dared to play tricks on me using the window theory. It was really too much.
