From RE0, Sato Kazuma decided to cheat on food and drink

"I'll beat you half to death first, then I'll ask you all the questions!"

Just as Ferut was about to make her move, a series of extremely hurried footsteps sounded behind them.

"Don't even think about escaping again! Give me back what you stole!"

A clear, crisp sound rang out, and Sato Kazuma and the others turned to look. A half-elf girl with long, silver-white hair appeared before them, her amethyst-like pupils casting a cautious gaze.

Without a doubt, she was the beautiful girl that Subaru Natsuki had mentioned earlier.

Satella —

Or rather, her original name.

Emilia.

Chapter Fifteen: She Can Also Use Healing Techniques? Absolutely Not Allowed!

After Felt stole her badge, Emilia chased after her without stopping and arrived here.

However, the scene before her left Emilia speechless with shock.

A strange man is kneeling on the ground, holding up his panties to another girl.

What's happening here?

Emilia tried her best to think, but she still couldn't understand what was going on.

"Lia, stop looking!"

Just then, a small gray cat flew in front of Emilia and quickly blocked her view.

Puck, Emilia's contracted great spirit.

"It's Sarah...it's you!"

The moment Natsuki Subaru saw the other person, a joyful smile bloomed on his face, but he quickly scratched his head awkwardly.

In this loop, because of the name 'Satella', the other party seems to have developed a very bad misunderstanding about him, and he doesn't know how to explain it for the time being.

"Damn it! It's all your fault that this business deal fell through! I'll never let you get away with this!"

Upon seeing Emilia appear, Felt snatched the panties from Kazuma Sato's hand and fled.

"A flying, talking cat... no wonder this is another world!"

At the same time, Kazuma Sato's mind raced, connecting the previous information and immediately realizing what had happened. A smile, at least appearing somewhat serious, instantly appeared on his face.

"You must be that person! That's wonderful! I've been waiting for you for so long!"

Kazuma Sato rushed to Emilia's side in one stride.

"Sigh, I... I'm not an adult anymore!"

Emilia was startled by the other party's reaction. At first, she thought that Kazuma Sato and his group were Felt's accomplices and was about to interrogate them about the whereabouts of the badge.

Emilia, however, did not expect the other party to react this way.

'It seems he's not an accomplice of that thief.'

Emilia thought to herself, a polite smile appearing on her face, and continued to ask:

"Um, nice to meet you. Is there anything I can help you with?"

"I saw that thief steal your things earlier, so my friend and I chased after her non-stop through the back roads, and finally caught her here!"

Kazuma Sato answered without the slightest hesitation.

"what?"

Aqua, standing to the side, looked completely bewildered, having no idea what Kazuma Sato meant.

Subaru Natsuki looked at Kazuma Sato with shock in his eyes.

Is it really possible for someone to be this shameless?

He was just a pervert who stole other girls' panties, wasn't he?

Now they've become enthusiastic members of the public helping to find lost items?

"What you just did..."

"I just fought with a thief. Don't let her young age fool you; she's clearly been through a lot of rigorous training. Even I almost lost to her!"

As he spoke, Kazuma Sato pointed to his slightly swollen cheek, the spot where Felt had struck him earlier.

"Fortunately, I was one step ahead and managed to get the item back!"

"But I think I just saw you kneeling on the ground..."

"That was my plan to use a hidden technique! I'd launch a surprise attack when she's off guard!"

"I see!"

Emilia's eyes widened, and she nodded in sudden realization.

'She actually believed it?!'

Natsuki Subaru cried out in his heart.

"Let me treat you right away!"

Emilia quickly stepped forward and cast a healing spell. Sato Kazuma's injuries were not serious, and he recovered in no time.

"Really! Does such a minor injury even need treatment!"

Aqua, standing to the side, pouted slightly, looking at Emilia with some displeasure.

This guy can use healing spells too!

Does that mean one's own existence can be replaced?

Although the goddess's power has not been fully restored yet.

But I absolutely cannot allow anyone to steal my spotlight!

Kazuma Sato glanced at Aqua out of the corner of his eye, a mischievous grin spreading across his face, a 'look at others, then look at you' kind of mockery in his eyes. He then handed the badge he had been holding to Emilia, saying:

"I saw how flustered you were earlier, so I guessed that this badge must be very important to you, and that's why I got it back for you!"

"Thank you so much!"

Emilia accepted the badge from Kazuma Sato, then bowed deeply to him.

"I don't know how to thank you!"

“Oh, that’s easy to say. My friend seems to have had a misunderstanding with you earlier. Actually, he put in a lot of effort just now, otherwise I wouldn’t have been able to get the badge back.”

Kazuma Sato reached out and pointed at Subaru Natsuki, who scratched his head and smiled somewhat awkwardly.

"Um... I was too impulsive earlier and misunderstood you. I'm very sorry!"

Emilia apologized to Subaru Natsuki with great sincerity.

"No, it's not your fault, it's my own... sigh, this..."

Natsuki Subaru didn't know how to answer for a moment.

After all, she couldn't reveal why she referred to the other person by the name Satella.

"May I ask how this gentleman should be addressed?"

Just as Natsuki Subaru was struggling with his decision, Sato Kazuma smiled and asked Emilia.

"Just call me Emilia! No need to call me 'sir'!"

Facing the benefactor who helped her find her valuables, Emilia pondered for a moment before revealing her real name.

"My name is Parker!"

Parker, hands on his hips, floated in the air, looking at the crowd before him with great interest.

"These people meant no harm."

"Emilia...?"

Natsuki Subaru repeated the name to himself, only now realizing the other person's real name.

Although Kazuma Sato is really shameless, he is also very proactive and quite intelligent.

"May I ask your names?"

"My name is Kazuma Sato, you can just call me Kazuma."

"I am Natsuki Subaru!"

"I am the mighty goddess Aku—"

"What is the purpose of this badge?"

Before Aqua could finish speaking, Kazuma Sato interrupted her.

After all, if Aqua were to say a bunch of nonsensical things again, the good first impression she had painstakingly built up in front of Emilia could be ruined.

"Hey, hey, hey, don't ignore me!"

"I'm sorry, my friend had a head injury when he was a child, and his brain isn't very good."

"Um......"

Emilia glanced at Aqua, pursed her lips, and then shifted her gaze to Kazuma Sato. She seemed hesitant, but after thinking for a few seconds, she finally spoke.

"This is the symbol of Wang Xuan."

Chapter Sixteen: Kazuma Sato's Perfect Plan, Underway!

Emilia then told everyone about her identity and the recent situation in the Kingdom of Lugnica.

The former emperor died suddenly, and other members of the royal bloodline also died suddenly from a strange disease. Lugnica is now being represented by a council of wise men composed of several highly respected civil officials.

As a nation that has made a pact with the dragon, they must follow the prophecy of the Dragon Stone, find the five witches chosen by the dragon, and select the next king from among them.

Candidates chosen by Shenron will react upon touching the badge.

Emilia was one of the candidates.

At this moment, the Dragon Emblem in Emilia's hand emitted a faint light.

"I see! No wonder Emilia was so eager to get the badge back!"

Subaru Natsuki said with a sudden realization.

"Tch, it's just making the badge glow, I can do that too."

Aqua muttered under her breath, somewhat unconvinced.

She had always harbored some resentment towards Emilia.

The reason is simple: Emilia also possesses healing magic.

Aqua is currently unable to utilize her goddess powers, and her healing spells are completely ineffective.

She was a little worried that Sato Kazuma would think she was too useless and let Emilia take her place.

Absolutely not!

Meanwhile, Kazuma Sato was secretly delighted.

I knew I made the right bet!

Emilia is indeed of a prominent status!

She's one of the candidates for king!

If Emilia really becomes the queen, they might be able to enjoy a life of luxury together!

Although Kazuma Sato certainly yearns for adventure, it wouldn't be bad to live a carefree life!

but.....

Kazuma Sato turned his head slightly and glanced at Aqua beside him out of the corner of his eye, a certain thought involuntarily forming in his mind.

Can the chosen candidate make the badge glow?

perhaps......
