And, whether intentionally or not, she kept nudging her legs farther under the counter, trying to tuck the half of her garment hanging out of sight back inside.
That was...
Just from his own vantage point, Ye Su could tell that this wasn’t an ordinary piece of clothing. There was a good chance these people were after it—and that the young woman was trying to hide it so they wouldn’t find it.
Well, she did throw me down pretty hard, but she still tried to protect me just now. I guess I can help her out, too.
He tried grabbing the garment, hoping he could use the player-exclusive [Inventory] feature to store it away.
But the young woman’s legs kept nudging and shaking right there, and Ye Su grabbed the wrong thing in an instant.
“Ah~” The young woman let out a soft cry, then glanced down at Ye Su, who was blushing with embarrassment, her face full of disdain. What a little pervert.
He’d grabbed the young woman’s leg. That sensation... Ye Su felt like he’d never forget it as long as he lived. It was soft and smooth as tofu...
Mm... Yeah, now that he thought about it, he really was getting handsy with her, wasn’t he?
I didn’t mean to! You have to believe me! But there was no time to explain. He quickly reached toward the half-exposed garment and silently thought, Put it in my inventory.
A flash of light invisible to everyone else, and the garment vanished into Ye Su’s inventory.
A notification appeared.
【Kukulu’s Saint Cloth Lv. 40】 added to inventory
So it wasn’t ordinary clothing—it was equipment? These people really did come to steal this thing. Too bad it’s in my inventory now~
The young woman had been watching from the corner of her eye, and now she stared in disbelief. Where was the garment? The moment that kid touched it, the Saint Cloth disappeared?
Could that kid use some kind of advanced magic, like a [Space Box]?
Well, as long as it’s hidden!
Still, he’d really helped her out. She couldn’t let them get their hands on this evil thing again. She’d gone off on her own to find a way to destroy it, but she’d visited countless equipment shops, and all the people there had tried all sorts of methods. None of them could destroy the garment.
After thinking it over again and again, Kuxi could only conclude that, since this indestructible evil thing couldn’t be destroyed, she’d have to hide away where they couldn’t find her and let the Saint Cloth fade from history over the passage of time.
But now, Kuxi had been found anyway.
“Kuxi, do you think we won’t lay a hand on you just because you’re the boss’s daughter? The boss said we’re not leaving empty-handed, even if we have to kill you to get the Saint Cloth.” The man at the front spoke coldly. He didn’t believe Kuxi had thrown the Saint Cloth away.
“I really don’t know where it is. It seems a thief stole it while I was out. If you don’t believe me, search the whole place.” The girl called Kuxi was calm now. She didn’t even blush or break a sweat. Her acting was flawless.
While they were talking, Ye Su—the lazy fish sprawled on the ground—wasn’t just lying there. He switched to the GM Class and began scanning the people here for their stats.
There were eight of them in all, between levels 25 and 30. In this city, they’d count as some of the best. But Ye Su wasn’t intimidated after switching to the GM Class. Honestly, he could overpower them with his stats whenever he wanted.
As long as his life wasn’t in danger, he wouldn’t use GM powers against ordinary people. GM was for dealing with bugs.
“Fine, we’ll back off. It’s true we wouldn’t dare kill you; those were just threats. But if you don’t hand over the Saint Cloth, that kid you threw in there might not be so lucky.” The masked man at the front threatened her.
Ye Su: “......”
Are you fucking kidding me? I’m lying here on the ground and I still get caught in the crossfire?
