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

Echidna had just felt as if her soul was about to shatter into pieces.

If it weren't for Aqua, I would probably have been completely destroyed, and my resurrection plan would have failed.

What exactly is she?

With a mix of trepidation and excitement, Echidna sat back down in the pavilion, her gaze shifting back and forth between Kazuma Sato and Aqua.

"Aqua, you said this place is very similar to the realm of the gods?"

"Yes, if you had to describe it, it's like a place where souls gather."

"Wait, wait, wait! If this is the same as the realm of gods, doesn't that mean it's also the afterlife? Am I dead again?!"

"Don't worry, there are some differences! After you come in, your physical body will remain in reality, and everything will be fine! As for this goddess, I can come and go freely in this kind of place! After all, I am also in charge of reincarnation!"

"Oh, what a pity, I thought I'd be able to see Eris again!"

"It's not too late for me to take you to see her now!"

"So...so actually, only my consciousness entered this world?"

Natsuki Subaru raised his hand, hesitating for a long time before finally joining in the conversation between the two.

At first, he thought his body had been teleported away, but it seems that only his consciousness was transferred to this place.

“That’s right, you just collapsed to the ground, and Kazuma thought you were unconscious! He slapped you hard in the face a few times.”

"Isn't this just showing concern for those around you?"

"..."

Natsuki Subaru pursed his lips.

He had realized just how dangerous it was to leave his body in front of these two guys.

"Hey? Subaru, why do you still have tea to drink?"

Kazuma Sato noticed a teacup on Subaru Natsuki's table, with half-empty liquid inside, and asked about it.

"Oh! You can drink as much as you want!"

Echidna smiled and snapped her fingers, and a cup of tea appeared in front of Kazuma Sato.

"Hey, wait a minute, Kazuma!"

Without waiting for Subaru Natsuki to stop him, Kazuma Sato picked up the cup and poured the contents into his mouth without hesitation.

He had to finish drinking before Aqua touched his cup.

It had been a long time since Aqua had come to his side and he had tasted tea.

The last time I had tea was a few weeks ago when I splashed it on Russell.

As the Dona Tea flowed down his tongue and into his throat, Kazuma Sato felt that the tea tasted a little strange.

If we're talking about flavor, it's not in the categories of sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, or salty.

As for whether it has no taste, it is very different from ordinary boiled water.

"Hey, hey, hey, Kazuma! This, this is... this is tea made by Echidna using her own bodily fluids!!!"

"Oh."

Kazuma Sato looked down at the empty cup in his hand, seemingly lost in thought.

Echidna looked at Kazuma Sato with great interest, anticipating his reaction.

"Continued Cup!"

"?"

A hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of both Echidna and Subaru Natsuki, and even a hint of fear appeared in the latter's eyes.

Echidna focused her gaze on Kazuma Sato. She wanted to try to see Kazuma Sato's memories, but because of her near-death experience, she didn't do so.

All she could do was use Subaru Natsuki's memories to indirectly find out what Aqua and Kazuma Sato had done.

Using Subaru Natsuki's memories, Echidna also learns about Return by Death, and that this is a space independent of the real world, so the Witch of Envy's clutches cannot reach this place.

Kazuma Sato also seems to come from another world, just like Subaru Natsuki.

But....

Normally, apart from the clone he created that is almost identical to Subaru Natsuki, there shouldn't be any other person like that.

And then there's Aqua, who claims to be a goddess...

The two of them were unaffected by the return of death....

Participate in the selection of the king, the purification of Jus, and the elimination of the white whale.

All of this left Echidna speechless.

It's completely different from the future I saw in my wisdom!

Really....

awesome!

Echidna thoroughly enjoyed this feeling of the unknown.

Excitement, anticipation, curiosity!

Kazuma Sato and Aqua exuded an irresistible attraction that Echidna couldn't control.

"Hey, although this is a mental space, the sensory experience is no different from the real world! If you need anything, I can show it to you in this world! For example, all kinds of delicious food and wine. Although it won't really fill you up, you can at least taste the flavors—"

"Then let's have some sparkling wine! I've never had sparkling wine in this world before!"

Aqua said with an eager expression.

Sparkling wine?

A hint of confusion flashed across Echidna's face; it was a term she had never heard before. However, she quickly gleaned the relevant information from Subaru Natsuki's memories.

Several bottles of alcohol appeared in front of Aqua in an instant.

“Fantastic! Echidna! If you’re willing to join my Axis Cult, I’ll make you a high priestess!”

Aqua skillfully opened the bottle with her bare hands and began to drink heartily.

Natsuki Subaru looked at the other person with some embarrassment. Most people would be cautious when they come to an unknown place, right?

Aqua acted as if she were a guest here.

Echidna's gaze shifted to Kazuma Sato, her curiosity growing even stronger.

"Kazuma, how on earth did you manage to purify Sloth?"

She had countless questions in her mind, and this was just one of them.

Jus's mind should be completely corrupted by Pandora and the Sloth factor, and it is impossible for him to recover.

However, in Natsuki Subaru's memories, he found himself.

How exactly did they do it?

But at that moment, Kazuma Sato, who had already picked up the bottle, suddenly stopped and looked at Echidna with a frown.

"What's wrong? Is there something on my face—?"

"Who are you? You are not the Echidna I know."

P.S.: Sorry, the author seems to be feeling a bit ecstatic today, so the update will be slower, but there will definitely be more updates!

Chapter 112: Echidna: I, I'm going to break!

Upon hearing Kazuma Sato's words, Echidna raised an eyebrow slightly.

"Oh? Kazuma, why would you say that?"

"Because both Jules and Betty said that the Echidna they knew was a very considerate and gentle person."

Kazuma Sato tilted his head slightly and spoke to Echidna.

“And you just mentioned something about sloth. You and Jus should know each other, right? You seem to know what happened to him afterward, but you sound indifferent. That’s different from what I heard from Betty and the others.”

Kazuma Sato glanced at the cup in his hand, then at Echidna.

"It's also possible that they misunderstood me~ This is just my nature."

Echidna maintained her smile, her eyes fixed on Kazuma Sato.

“Although Betty is a young girl, she—wait a minute, Goddess of Uselessness, Betty and the others shouldn’t be able to hear our conversation, right?”

Kazuma Sato looked at Aqua and asked.

"I can't hear them! They're not as powerful as this goddess!"

Aqua said this while drinking.

Echidna turned her head and saw that the few bottles of wine she had just created for Aqua were almost completely gone.

What's going on with this guy?

"If she can't hear me, that's fine. Betty may be a little girl, but she's not stupid. On the contrary, she's quite clever in some things and can't be fooled by you forever."

Kazuma Sato said slowly.

"You brought Betty out, didn't you? You became her 'the one'—but how did you do that? How did you manage to convince her? Did you use deception?"

"Don't make false accusations! My greatest virtue is honesty! Especially when it comes to deceiving young girls!"

Kazuma Sato connected with a very serious expression.

Meanwhile, Subaru Natsuki couldn't help but mentally complain.

That statement is already a lie!

However, Natsuki Subaru also felt that his reaction was much weaker than before.

I guess they've gradually gotten used to this guy...

This is not a good thing!

But Natsuki Subaru also had to admit that after being with this guy, it seemed that he faced much less pressure when encountering difficulties.

"Oh? How did you do that?"

Echidna asked with great curiosity, as there was no related information in Subaru Natsuki's memories.

"Why not just write the relevant words in her book of wisdom? You didn't say you can't write in books, did you?"

"That... is indeed one of the methods."

Echidna adjusted her expression, took a deep breath, and continued speaking.

"However, there is one thing I can assure you: I am the real Echidna, the Witch of Greed."

Echidna's face revealed a meaningful smile, the upturned corners of her mouth seemingly concealing countless schemes and tricks, her deep gaze seeming to penetrate Sato Kazuma's face.

"Haha, I don't believe it."

Kazuma Sato, however, wore an expression of disbelief.

"I have no reason to lie to you, do I? Didn't you come to the Holy Land specifically to find me?"

“We are looking for Echidna, the Witch of Greed, but you are not Echidna.”

"I am Echidna!"

"Then prove it."

Kazuma Sato shrugged.

"Alright, then I'll prove it to you."

A meaningful smile appeared on Echidna's face.

She was about to reveal the secret about Subaru Natsuki—the secret of the Return of Death.

Being able to see into other people's hearts is enough to prove her identity as a witch.

This is also the most terrifying aspect of the person who was once labeled as having a strong desire for power.

This is a unique space created by Echidna, and even the Witch of Envy cannot interfere with it.
