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

. . . . . .

Several hours later, at the Carlsten mansion, Kazuma Sato and the others had arrived.

"Lady Aqua! I've heard many rumors about you!"

"As expected of Lady Aqua!"

"Lady Aqua, would you do me the honor of visiting our home sometime in the future?"

In the luxurious and spacious hall, Aqua was surrounded by many noble families.

Meanwhile, Kazuma Sato was also surrounded by many beautiful girls.

"...The beluga whale charged straight at me, but I wasn't afraid at all! Just as the beluga whale was about to charge, I used magic to suddenly change my position and lure the beluga whale to crash into the ground!"

Kazuma Sato swirled the wine in his glass, speaking to the group of beautiful women surrounding him while deliberately striking a cool pose.

"In this way, we have successfully dealt with the White Whale. However, I know very well that the White Whale couldn't have appeared out of thin air. Sure enough, the Archbishop of Sin of the Witch Cult soon appeared..."

Since Sato and Mami Kurshu and the others weren't beside him, he began to embellish the story of what had happened earlier, his wine glass swaying in his hand.

"As expected of Lord Kazuma!"

"Lord Kazuma is truly amazing!"

"Could you tell me what happened next?"

"of course!"

Kazuma Sato couldn't suppress the upward curve of his lips; he had been fantasizing about this moment for far too long.

He was treated like a great hero, surrounded by beautiful women!

Of course, Kazuma Sato would still turn around from time to time to look behind him and see where Felix was.

That nightmare still haunts me from time to time.

"Afterwards, we encountered Greed and learned of the countless innocent girls who had suffered at his hands. I absolutely could not stand idly by. Even though I didn't know what kind of powers the Archbishop of Greed possessed, I chose to resolutely rush forward!"

Just as Kazuma Sato was speaking passionately, a series of hurried footsteps sounded from outside the crowd.

"You idiot, I'm working myself to death over there! And you're just slacking off here!"

Kazuma Sato turned his head to look, and the source of the voice was Felt.

During the few days that Kazuma Sato and Aqua were away from the capital, Felt and Rom helped with all the affairs here.

Lord Rom possesses an exceptionally sharp mind, making it incredibly easy for him to handle related matters.

But it would be difficult for Ferut.

In order to figure out things related to market trade, Ferut has recently been frantically studying.

Felt originally had absolutely no interest in such things, and she wouldn't do it even if Kazuma Sato asked her to.

However, a single sentence from Kazuma Sato before he left infuriated Felt.

"You're not deliberately refusing because you don't understand these things or you're afraid of the hassle, are you?"

This is an obvious provocation tactic that wouldn't work on most people.

But it was incredibly useful for Ferut!

Felt reluctantly agreed to help Sato Kazuma handle various matters in the capital over the next few days.

With Rom's help, Kazuma Sato was relatively at ease.

Seeing Ferut's menacing demeanor, the people around her immediately and tactfully left.

"Hey, hey, hey, I wasn't slacking off! I was recounting what happened earlier to the person next to me! I certainly couldn't refuse someone so eager to learn!"

Kazuma Sato said to Felt with a smile.

"You bastard, you make it sound so noble, but you're just slacking off!"

"I didn't! And so what if I slacked off? I still defeated the White Whale and the Witch Cult!"

"Humph."

Ferut snorted coldly.

Although the outcome seemed to confirm this, her intuition told her that things were definitely not as Kazuma Sato had described.

"I've already made arrangements for those dozens of people you just brought back. Honestly, I never imagined that the slums would one day be so lively!"

Ferut said, placing her hands on her chest.

She was referring to Regulus's former wives.

After being rescued by Kazuma Sato and his group, these women were taken to the royal capital.

With no one to rely on, they probably wouldn't even have a secure livelihood. To solve this problem, Kazuma Sato handed them over to Felt, who would take care of them.

"There are more than just that many people."

Kazuma Sato pursed his lips and looked in Aqua's direction.

If it were only Regulus's wives, that would be fine.

The problem is that there's also a group of followers that Aqua brought back.

Their numbers exceeded one hundred.

Settling all these people in place is no easy task.

but--

These people will have their practical abilities greatly enhanced after becoming followers of Aqua.

It shouldn't be too difficult to get them to build shelters out of thin air.

The 'theater' that Aqua and the others used for their performances can also be used as a temporary rest place for a few days.

"And... I have a question..."

As Ferut spoke, she turned her head to look into the distance.

In the crowd, a stranger was talking to others, and it was clear that they were all looking on with great surprise, as if they had seen something extraordinary.

"Is that guy Roswaal?"

Ferut swallowed hard and looked at the person in the distance.

He wasn't wearing clown makeup, and his speech sounded perfectly normal.

But just now she heard someone call out Roswaal's name.

His tone was equally one of utter shock.

"Yes."

Kazuma Sato also turned his head to look in that direction.

The man who even looked somewhat handsome was none other than Roswaal.

Roswaal previously claimed that he would do anything to help revive Echidna.

Aqua then maliciously made Roswaal remove his clown makeup and speak in a normal voice.

For Roswaal, removing makeup is a very easy thing.

However, changing the way you speak is still quite difficult.

After all, Roswaal had been speaking in this unique voice for nearly four hundred years, and had even gotten somewhat used to it. Although he could occasionally maintain a normal way of speaking, he would always unconsciously revert to that strange tone—and it was from this subtle change that those around him realized his true identity.

"I don't know if I've gotten used to his perverted behavior, but now he looks a bit disgusting..."

"This time, I find it hard not to agree with you..."

"Why would he do this? Do you have some leverage over him?"

"It's a long story."

Kazuma Sato looked at Roswaal; everything he had done was for the purpose of reviving Echidna.

She's seriously obsessed with love.

Kazuma Sato had previously asked Beatrice about Echidna, and according to her, her mother was a very gentle and considerate person. Jus agreed with Beatrice's words.

This was not important to Kazuma Sato at all.

The key point is that Kazuma Sato also heard from the two of them that Echidna is a super beautiful woman!

And she's not a little girl, she's not a little girl, she's a mature, older sister type!

Gentle, kind, and with a commanding presence—can such a perfect woman really exist in this world?!

Kazuma Sato wanted to see what kind of person Echidna really was.

However, he always had a sense of foreboding.

There are no normal people in this world yet.

Although Kazuma Sato had dropped out of school long ago and wasn't very good at math, he felt that based on probability, this witch named **Gidona** must have something abnormal about her.

For example, he made Betty wait in the forbidden library for so long; he could have made things clearer.

The reason is—

"No need to say anything more, you scumbag Zhen. You definitely don't have any good intentions anyway. You're either after money or you're just a lecher!"

Although Felt hadn't known Kazuma Sato for very long, she saw through his true nature at a glance.

"Hey, hey, hey, aren't you misunderstanding something about me?"

"Then tell me, why is that?"

"I, I, I did it for the world and for Ping!"

Kazuma Sato crossed his fingers and rested them on his chin, deliberately putting on a serious expression.

"It looks kind of disgusting, you bastard!"

If it were normal, Felt would have already delivered a flying kick to Kazuma Sato's face.

However, she did not do that.

"Seeing as you seem determined to change the situation in the slums, I'll let you off the hook! Humph!"

After speaking, Ferut prepared to leave.

As she left, her gaze fell on the wine glass placed to the side.

Kazuma Sato had always forbidden her from drinking alcohol, but today she was determined to try it.

Ferut used her skills as a thief to quickly grab the glass before anyone noticed.

However, all of this was clearly seen by Kazuma Sato.

"Hmph, little loli, you're not old enough to drink yet!"

Kazuma Sato sneered and then activated his thieving ability, preparing to steal the wine glass from Felt's hand.

"theft!"

After activating his ability, Kazuma Sato closed his eyes and triumphantly raised his spoils above his head.

"You're still too green to compete with me. A loli is just a loli after all~"

"Oh my god..."

"What are you doing?"

"Lord Kazuma...so this is the kind of person you are?"

Hearing the whispers around him, Kazuma Sato realized something was wrong.

The feel is off too...

He opened his eyes shakily, and what came into view was something all too familiar.

Ferute's panties.

In everyone's eyes, Kazuma Sato had just held a girl's panties high above his head.

"As expected of you, Kazuma-sama! To do something like that in such a situation is amazing!"

Dressed in finery to conceal her identity, Elsa smiled at Kazuma Sato, her eyes full of admiration.
