Me, a priest? How could that be!

Chapter 186 The Leap of Faith

In short, the lock here is temporarily secure.

But what should we do next?

It seems like a lot of people have gathered here.

To prevent anyone from sneaking out of the hotel, right?

Charlotte didn't drag Chris out. If he were to sneak out now, it would prove that he was indeed playing hide-and-seek, which would make his subsequent actions extremely difficult. Therefore, he decisively hid in someone else's room.

Although those adventurers might talk about compensation, they would never actually force their way into someone's room; doing so would be a complete crime.

after awhile.

"That's strange, I can't hear anything outside," Chris said, somewhat puzzled.

That means—

He secretly peered through the window and watched the adventurers leave, discouraged and annoyed.

"Let's go in, Charlotte." Megumin walked into the room where they were hiding, looking quite annoyed. "Honestly, convincing guys who're all muscle in their heads is a tough job. Or maybe, are their heads just full of money?"

"—Do you even have the right to say that?"

"Did you say something, Charlotte?"

"No, she didn't say anything." Under Huihui's disapproving gaze, Charlotte readily surrendered. "Moreover, did you handle the guy outside for me?"

"Yeah. I said a few words and barely managed to get rid of them. But they're very suspicious of me, and they're probably still watching me from outside." Huihui covered her forehead in distress.

What a bunch of clowns blinded by money!

"In conclusion! How about blasting them all away with explosive magic!? Luckily, I haven't used any magic yet today, so my magic power is plentiful!"

"Don't do that. Are you planning to blow the whole hotel up? You should know what will happen if you use it here, right?"

"I actually think it's a good idea."

Huihui lowered her head in disappointment.

If Charlotte hadn't been there to stop him, this guy really would have used explosive magic on those people.

Charlotte was also in a bad mood.

"Damn it, I'm at my wit's end. There's nowhere to escape from this hotel, and the entrances and exits are being watched. What should I do?"

Woolen cloth?"

"There's no use in worrying, it's already like this."

"Chris, on the other hand, why are you so calm?"

"That's because even if I get caught, my wallet won't hurt at all; it's Charlotte's wallet that will be affected, right?"

"Of course I know that!"

Chris is right, I have no answer!

"But I'm a thief, and it's humiliating to be caught by someone else as a thief. So, I won't slack off in order to escape, don't worry."

"Is that so?"

It seems that the thief girl has her own pride. That's right, even though Chris has a good temper, she also has a competitive side deep down.

Just as Charlotte was starting to think Chris was reliable, she said, "Well, there's nothing much to do right now, so let's conserve our energy. I'll take a little nap, and wake me up if anything comes up."

"What?"

"Whoosh—whoosh—"

"Feed—!"

Chris lay down on Charlotte's bed and fell asleep instantly!

Huihui twitched the corners of her mouth.

"Sleeping under these circumstances—is that reliable, or just incredibly careless?"

"—There's no use being at a loss here. I'll fill my stomach while I can."

Charlotte's panicked heart calmed down as Chris fell asleep peacefully.

Huihui quickly said, "I'll just eat the creamy spaghetti I made before, please put the bacon and vegetables in too!"

"—You want some too?"

Despite saying that, Charlotte still prepared a portion for her, and the two enjoyed a delicious meal together.

After some time.

Chris woke up from her sleep, stretched lazily, and said, "Good morning, Charlotte—"

"Oh, did you sleep well?"

"It's alright. And then, did anything happen while I was sleeping?"

"No, nothing special. Huihui is keeping watch for us downstairs, it's quite quiet."

Thanks to Huihui, she absolutely refused to let the adventurers enter the inn to search it. She used the excuse that "there are only girls in the inn right now, so it's not convenient to search. If you don't want to be arrested and imprisoned for harassment, then you'd better give up," making it impossible for the adventurers to enter.

However, the timeliness of this excuse will weaken over time, and the temptation of 5000 million is not something that ordinary people can resist; they will rush in very soon.

"I see. It's best if nothing happened. What should we do next?" Chris asked.

"Yes, the most important thing is to escape without being caught by anyone within the time limit—once I get away with it, I'll definitely make that guy pay!"

"Sure, sure. By the way, why don't we just stay here and wait for time to pass? — Why do you look like that?"

"Chris, think about it carefully. We've been here for several hours now, so there shouldn't be any sightings of us on the streets anymore."

"Ah, I see. Everyone's starting to realize that we have no choice but to run back to the hotel, right?"

Chris isn't stupid either.

She quickly understood what Charlotte meant.

Charlotte peered out from the bedside and sighed, "I could have just waited patiently outside until the time was up, but the other side is a group of hot-blooded adventurers."

"Megumi promised to help us, so it's fine. Besides, there's no way anyone would force their way into an inn in this town. You haven't formed a temporary team before, so you might not know, but everyone here is a good person."

"Stop talking, Chris! What you just said was a classic flag!"

So, I'm saying—

Just then, the noise outside the inn suddenly increased several degrees, as if the other adventurers who were searching for Charlotte and Chris on the street had also gathered there.

A few adventurers certainly wouldn't have the guts to break into an inn, but when the number increases to dozens or even hundreds, people's courage will also increase.

Huihui then rushed into the room in a panic.

"Oh no, Charlotte! Those adventurers, lured by money, are planning to force their way into this inn! I've temporarily locked the doors, but it won't hold for long. It's only a matter of time before they break through. Let's escape now!"

"Ah!! Stop talking!"

Charlotte was completely bewildered. Had Chris's prediction come true? Wasn't she the goddess of luck?!

Huihui urged, "Charlotte, hurry up! We need to make the most of this time!"

Escape through the back door?

Then you have to go through the corridor.

The moment you step out of the room, the possibility of being discovered: "Hey, do you have anything over there?"

"Nothing was found. What about your end?"

"No, not at all."

"Damn it! There's no other way. Since we're already here, let's not be afraid and just turn this place upside down!"

"Ohhhh!!" N

These idiots!!

Charlotte was annoyed by the adventurers' harsh words, so he grabbed Chris's wrist and pushed open the window of the inn room.

"This way!"

"Are you serious!?"

"Leave it to fate, I jumped!"

"I don't care, are you really okay with it?"

"No problem! — That's what I think. It's okay, I still have Anemii, we'll definitely escape safely! Let's go!"

Charlotte jumped off the rooftop with Chris in her arms.

If it weren't for the absence of a haystack below, it would really have the feel of the Leap of Faith from Assassin's Creed.
