Chapter 726 The opening of the sports meeting
Just in case, Xiaolin looked several times but did not see any trace of the crocodile.
Even the word "crocodile" was not seen.
"Aqua, is this just your illusion?"
Xiaolin no longer wanted to look for it.
Maybe the stupid goddess said this because she didn't want to walk back and wanted to trick myself into carrying her.
"But there really is something in the lake! Trust me, Xiaolin!"
Aqua actually said that.
Although she often makes trouble and throws tantrums, and is a little willful from time to time, this kind of thing is not something that should be laughed at.
Xiao Lin sighed and asked, "So, did you see it with your own eyes?"
"That, that..."
Aqua stammered and couldn't say anything.
She didn't seem to have any hidden secrets, but she couldn't answer Xiaolin's question, which meant -
"Didn't you see...?"
Youyou answered for her.
As if hoping that everyone would listen to her, Aqua said loudly: "But I can feel its breath! You must believe me, its breath is still in the lake!"
"It suddenly became completely unconvincing."
Xiaolin scratched his head.
I didn't see it, and Aqua didn't see it either. How could we tell there were crocodiles or something just by the scent of the monsters... She's not a search dog or something, and even if she had a dog's nose, it wouldn't work near a water source, right?
"Wait, it's too early to tell."
Darkness holds a different opinion.
Aqua was touched to see her companions helping her. Darkness patted the stupid goddess' head, soothing her uneasy expression, and then spoke to everyone.
"Aqua has a psychological trauma from the ferocious crocodile, so it's not surprising that she's more sensitive than us."
"Uh-huh!"
Aqua nodded quickly.
It seems that she is really sensitive to the smell of crocodiles, just like Darkness said. I agree with this statement.
…Is the stupid goddess serious?
Xiaolin rolled his eyes slightly.
But Darkness didn’t completely trust Aqua, so she spoke again: “You can’t underestimate your intuition, but if there really is such a monster, you would be the first to discover it, right?”
“Indeed, my eyes can detect enemies. Darkness can do the same, right?”
Xiaolin nodded.
Chris also said: "Darkness didn't learn the exploration skill, so she didn't know the existence of monsters?"
"No, I'm not referring to this skill. I'm just thinking that this guy's Duem radar should be able to detect it sensitively." Kobayashi's venomous tongue came late but arrived, leaving the perverted female knight speechless.
"Varied!?"
"That makes sense."
“Even you, Megumin…?!”
Darkness looked at Huihui in disbelief, as if she didn't expect the little loli to stand on Krillin's side.
However, Darkness did have a premonition about this kind of thing. Almost every time something strange was about to happen, she would rush over in advance and then be attacked, and then enjoy the pleasure of being attacked.
Huihui then spoke up, “And how could we not see something that big wandering around in the lake?”
"Being sensitive to danger is an occupational disease for us adventurers," said Chris.
She was right.
Not to mention that the size of the ferocious crocodile can be seen at a glance, the bottom of the lake can be seen just by the clarity of the water. Even if the monster is lying motionless, there is no problem of not being able to see it.
"So, Aqua, you sensed the aura of the ferocious crocodile, but it must have been an illusion."
"Is it really……"
Aqua was also a little uncertain.
Kobayashi and others kept persuading her not to be suspicious. After repeated persuasion, she was not sure whether it was really her illusion, so she fell into self-doubt.
Maybe it really is a stress reaction?
Xiaolin and his friends have also had this kind of experience. For example, when walking at night, they were afraid that there might be a ghost behind them. The more they thought about it, the more likely it was, and they were so scared that they became paranoid.
In short, it's an illusion.
It's all just an illusion.
Seeing Aqua's unbelievable look, Kobayashi sighed helplessly and said, "Okay, okay, I'll carry you just this once, and let's go home quickly."
He really didn't want to waste any more time here.
Looking at the tired expressions of Chris, Huihui, Youyou, and Wiz, you can tell that they all want to go back and lie down on the soft beds to rest. No one is willing to waste time here.
“Hmm…”
Aqua hesitated for a moment, then nodded and agreed.
In the past, she would have jumped for joy as if her evil plan had succeeded, but now she looked reluctant. She definitely didn't want to be carried home, otherwise she wouldn't have been yelling just now. Maybe she was worried about the fact that there might be ferocious crocodiles lurking in the lake and she couldn't verify it?
But as Xiaolin said just now, I really don’t have the energy to waste time, so I’d better go back first.
----
The days of practice passed one by one. In the following days, they still practiced swimming here, but no matter which day they saw the ferocious crocodile, this further confirmed the fact that Aqua was suspicious.
In the blink of an eye, it was game day.
"Oh oh oh——"
Kobayashi stood on the street and looked at both sides of the street. People gathered here, either in twos or threes, or in groups.
"Great! They've already started setting up the stall!"
“Waaaaaah——I’m so sleepy.”
Aqua yawned and stretched.
Seeing her lazy look, Xiao Lin asked in surprise, "Are you still asleep?"
"After all, I didn't sleep much yesterday." Aqua said casually, and then yawned loudly, looking extremely lazy.
Xiaolin held his forehead and sighed.
"You, you're suffering from insomnia before the game, do you think you're a primary school student going on a spring outing?"
“You’re so annoying————”
Aqua snorted in displeasure.
She couldn't say that she was really looking forward to today's game, felt that she would definitely win the championship, and then started daydreaming about how she would spend the bounty, and didn't fall asleep until dawn, right?
Xiaolin would make fun of me if I did that, so I shouldn't say it.
“Hi hi hi————”
A lively greeting came from behind.
Turn your head and look.
“Oh, it’s Chris.” Darkness greeted her with a smile, “Are you here early today? Is there anything else?”
"I postponed them all. Today's game is more important."
It seems that Chris is also very enthusiastic about the game.
indeed.
After all, we have been training for several days. If we are not training to win the championship, why should we train so hard?
"But then again, today is really lively."
Chris looked out over the street.
The bustling crowds of people, coupled with the enthusiastic calls of vendors on both sides of the street, really make people want to go for a visit.
"It means that this routine activity is very popular among everyone."
Darkness smiled widely.
She had made a great contribution in planning the sports meeting. Although the head of the Dustinis family had recovered, he was determined to train Darkness as the next lord, so he arranged a lot of work for her. However, because Darkness had to attend the meeting, all the tasks were finally handed over to the head of the Dustinis family.
"Uncle, give me a skewer of fried tofu."
"Ok!"
Xiao Lin said this to the stall owner.
He hadn't eaten these snacks for a long time, and to be honest, he was a little craving for them, so he wanted to eat something to satisfy his craving. After all, he had to participate in a competition soon and would have no time to eat.
Hui Hui was the same. She said with some concern, "Xiao Lin, we still have to run later. What are you going to eat?"
She was afraid that Xiaolin would be affected by this.
"It's okay to eat a little. It's not like we have to run away right now."
Xiaolin waved his hand.
Not to mention eating just a little, even if he was full he could still run faster than others. Yes, he had such confidence.
Huihui rolled her eyes.
He said in a somewhat alarmist tone, "If you have a stomachache during the game, I won't care about you. Anyway, you will be the one who is worried if you lose the game, Xiaolin."
"The ring issue will be delayed further, and won't you suffer as a result?"
Xiaolin said this on purpose.
Huihui's expression quickly turned ugly. It was obvious that she also understood that no matter what, they were all companions who would rise and fall together. Then, as if in revenge, she rushed over and ate up Xiaolin's fried tofu in just a few bites.
"Ahh! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"
“Hey! Huihui, don’t eat other people’s food casually!”
Xiaolin shouted somewhat unhappily.
He queued up with great difficulty to buy it, but now there were too many people gathered and it was too late to buy more. The game was about to start and he didn't even get to eat a bite of the fried tofu. How could he not be angry?
Huihui said while rolling her eyes as she chewed the fried tofu in her mouth.
"Ooooooooooo! Ooooooooooooo!"
"…You better eat it first."
Huihui finished the fried tofu in no time, wiped her greasy lips, and spoke as if to punish him.
"This is a punishment for Xiaolin for not realizing that he was causing trouble for his companions!"
"Damn it, what you said actually makes so much sense..."
Xiaolin sighed helplessly.
He also had a problem. After all, he was the one who asked Huihui, Darkness, Aqua and the others for help, but he actually came to eat fried tofu before the game and didn't care about the game at all.
Anyone who saw such behavior would be very angry, and Huihui was no exception.
Forget it, forget it, it’s okay if I don’t eat it, right?
“By the way, Huihui… you ate fried tofu. Won’t you get a stomachache when you start running later?”
"Uh……"
"Hey!"
"Well, I'll have to ask you, Xiaolin. After all, we are companions, right?"
Huihui said this with a smile on her face.
This guy, in order to take revenge on me, didn't he even think about the consequences? Although I know that this is her nature, it's too easy for her to do it, isn't it?
But it should be okay.
It's just a bunch of fried tofu. It's impossible for me to really have a stomachache.
"good morning everyone."
"Good morning."
Soon, Wiz and Youyou also joined them. Both of them looked in good spirits. They should have listened to their own instructions last night and went to bed early to recharge their energy.
This is completely different from the stupid goddess who doesn't listen to advice.
"Morning to you two, too."
Xiaolin also greeted them.
But compared to the two energetic people, Kobayashi seemed more listless, which aroused the curiosity of the two people.
"What's wrong? You look down?"
“It’s really hard to say this, but I was attacked by Megumin and my important things were taken away by force.”
Xiaolin covered his cheek.
That pitiful look was enough to make anyone cry and feel sad. Even Wiz and Yunyun couldn’t help but cast blaming eyes at Huihui.
Huihui couldn't hold it anymore.
She rolled her eyes and said, "Please don't use words that could lead to misunderstandings, okay? A young girl who has never experienced the world will have strange associations."
“Mei, Huihui! What on earth did you do to Mr. Kobayashi?!”
"look."
Youyou blushed and questioned Huihui loudly, but Huihui spread her hands helplessly, indicating that the person she just talked about was Youyou.
The corners of Xiaolin's mouth curled up viciously.
"It's nothing, just a little revenge on you."
"Don't do that."
Huihui rolled her eyes in annoyance.
Afterwards, under Youyou's constant urging and nervous eye contact, she reluctantly told Youyou what had just happened. When the misunderstanding was resolved, Youyou breathed a sigh of relief.
I can’t figure out whether she is concerned about Huihui or Kobayashi who might be attacked by Huihui.
It can't be the latter, right?
Kobayashi didn't think too much about it, nor did he care about what they thought. Instead, he looked at the bare bamboo stick in his hand with only a little oil stain left, and sighed deeply.
"Ahhh, should I go buy another one—"
Xiao Lin looked at the time and then at the long queue of people waiting to buy a few more. In the end, he couldn't resist the temptation and queued up again to buy a few more.
At this time, two acquaintances came over.
"Hey Xiaolin, you're still here buying food, you're really leisurely."
"Dust, Chis?"
Xiao Lin was slightly startled when he saw the two of them, but he quickly nodded and said, "Why, are you guys going to participate in the sports meet too?"
"Of course. How could I miss such a good deal?"
"me too!"
Just knew it was so.
As expected, these two guys didn't reveal anything except the information about the sports meeting. Even if they wanted to unite with other adventurers, they excluded themselves. They are really insidious and cunning adventurers.
"Are you two here for the prize money too?"
“That’s certainly our goal as well.”
Ok?
Too?
Xiaolin felt strange about this word, as if they had other goals.
Dust grinned and said, "But the main reason is that if we don't participate in this competition, we won't be able to see the rare beauties in swimsuits up close."
"Yes, yes, and I watched it openly!"
Keith wiped the corners of his mouth.
The two of them were laughing strangely, and anyone who saw their obscene appearance would have to say one word - scum.
They really put a lot of effort into it.
"I think you, Xiaolin, are a full man who doesn't know the hunger of a hungry man!"
"If it were just the normal three, it would be fine!"
"Lovely androgynous Chris!"
"Youyou is shy and charming!"
"The most infuriating thing is that you didn't even let go of the poor store owner sister that everyone likes!"
"Everyone has a big prejudice against you!" X2
