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

wrong!

This guy is the enemy!

This looks like the guy who's going to kill me!

"Isn't this guy incredibly strong?!"

Kazuma Sato quickly asked.

"No, no, it's a little different. I can feel that her power doesn't seem to belong to her, and she can't unleash its true power."

Echidna maintained her smile, proudly raising her chin.

"If that's all there is to it, it's far from being my match. I've temporarily recovered to my peak condition, and using my previous advanced magic is as easy as breathing."

Echidna stretched out her hand, and a dazzling magical aura emerged from her palm, as if some incredibly powerful magic was brewing.

"Oh, so you mean, you useless witch—"

Before Echidna could finish speaking, her body shrank like a deflated balloon, returning to Ryuzu's previous form within seconds.

"?"

"Hehe, it seems I can't maintain this for very long right now."

A smile appeared on Echidna's face.

"I'll capture you and take you back to the Holy Land in a bit!"

"Wait a minute, wait a minute, I'm going to sink!"

"You useless witch, can't you even stand still?!"

Kazuma Sato glared at Echidna through gritted teeth.

I'm afraid I'll be driven mad by Echidna before I even get killed by the enemy.

"Um, would you believe me if I said I'm not a member of the Witch Cult?"

Kazuma Sato turned to look at the white-haired girl.

The only response he received was the other person's incredibly ferocious expression.

"Go to hell! Go ...

After Echidna revealed her identity, the enemy's murderous intent became even more obvious.

"Then there's no other way, you useless Donna."

Kazuma Sato sighed and shrugged at Echidna.

"It's up to you now!"

"What do you want to do?"

Before Echidna could react with surprise, Kazuma Sato immediately used his skill.

Lurk!

In an instant, Kazuma Sato disappeared from Echidna's sight.

"????????"

Echidna stared blankly at the spot where Sato Kazuma had just been, but now it was completely empty.

This guy abandoned me?

hateful! Damn it!

We need to figure out how to deal with the situation we're in!

Echidna stared intently at the girl before her, her mind racing.

She knew very well the source of the girl's power.

Mana of the wind attribute.

It probably originated from one of the four great spirits, the Wind Demon.

However, Echidna was certain that the person before her was definitely not the true form of the passing demon—

Rather, it was someone who borrowed the abilities of a passing demon.

"That's it."

Echidna narrowed her eyes slightly, a smile appearing on her face.

I once encountered information about the future of the Demon Lord in the Book of Wisdom.

Although what she is experiencing now is very different from the future she once saw, Echidna can still roughly deduce what is happening now based on the original content.

"You borrowed power from the Great Elf to seek revenge against the Witch Cult, right? No, you should say you stole it. However, your power is incomplete; you're only at a half-baked level now."

Echidna said with a smile.

"Go to hell, die, die!"

The opponent seemed to be enraged by Echidna's words, and instantly released countless wind blades, which rushed towards Echidna.

The water surface was cut into countless pieces, like a shattered mirror.

Echidna immediately released magical defenses. Although her current body was not yet able to use advanced magic for combat, she combined different spells to cope with the situation and ensure that she would not be defeated for the time being.

In the surging waves of the bath, Sato Kazuma concealed all his presence and slowly approached his opponent.

He did not flee, but instead looked for an opportunity to deliver a decisive blow.

"Useless Donna, I'll have to trouble you to act as bait for now."

Kazuma Sato carefully observed the other person, and he also heard Echidna's words just now.

This guy borrowed the power of the Great Elf; no wonder he's so monstrous.

Echidna is now barely able to protect herself, and her magic can only be described as tragic.

Defeating an opponent using long-range methods is virtually impossible.

Then all that's left is power.

But whether it's gluttony or lust, Kazuma Sato needs to be close to the other person for it to take effect.

He planned to sneak up on the other party while the stealth skill was active.

But before Sato Kazuma could move a few more meters, the white-haired girl suddenly turned her head.

His gaze was fixed precisely on Kazuma Sato.

"wrong!"

Kazuma Sato's eyes widened suddenly; he knew very well that the other party had noticed his presence.

Theoretically speaking, with the help of stealth skills, the opponent shouldn't be able to easily detect their movements.

Could it be because the other party can clearly sense the scent of the witch factor?

Kazuma Sato had already guessed that the other party had a very keen sense of witch scent, so he thought of having Echidna distract him, but he did not expect that the other party's perception could reach this level.

"Go to hell!"

Half a second later, an incredibly sharp wind blade swept in, heading straight for Kazuma Sato's body.

Emergency dodge!

Kazuma Sato moved his body instinctively, narrowly dodging the attack.

His body suddenly staggered, almost falling into the water again, and the effect of his stealth skill had completely disappeared.

Fortunately, the opponent did not choose to continue attacking Sato Kazuma, but instead shifted their attention to Echidna—after all, this girl had just claimed to be a witch.

"Damn it, this isn't working at all! We can't even get close!"

Kazuma Sato felt a splitting headache.

His stealth was completely ineffective, as the other party could easily track his movements. Moreover, the water in the bath completely hindered his actions.

Just as Sato Kazuma was pondering a solution, a series of hurried footsteps came from outside the bathhouse door.

"You idiot Kazuma, are you alright?!"

The visitors were Aqua and Beatrice.

After Ram delivered Meryl and the others to a safe place, he told Aqua and Beatrice, who were resting nearby, what had happened. The two of them rushed over without stopping.

"Betty!"

Kazuma Sato smiled at Beatrice, then looked at Aqua with a look of disgust.

"Goddess of Uselessness, you're here too?"

A useless witch plus another useless witch, a double whammy, leaving Beatrice as the only useful one among the few present.

"Hey! Why did you suddenly sound so disgusted when you called my name?!"

Aqua pointed at Kazuma Sato and said with a displeased expression.

"After all, you're completely useless, Goddess of Trash... Wait, no, Aqua, this seems to be your home turf!"

Kazuma Sato's eyes widened, and as if suddenly remembering something, he spoke to Aqua.

Previously, during the flood in the Sanctuary, Kazuma Sato rode Aqua like a jet ski, moving at a considerable speed.

This is a bathhouse; perhaps I really can ride Aqua at high speed and quickly get close to the other person.

"What kind of look is that? You're clearly up to no good!"

"It's nothing, I just need your help, Aqua!"

"Do you only call my name when you need me?"

"We really need you now! Come and float in the bath!"

"No way! We already did that once, okay?! I'm the goddess of water, not a means of transportation!"

What are you two talking about?

Beatrice looked confused; she felt she was falling behind the pace of their conversation.

"Hurry up! The other useless girl next to me is about to give up! I can almost hear her screams!"

Kazuma Sato shouted loudly.

Behind him, the girl with the power of a great elf was bombarding Echidna relentlessly, and Echidna's screams echoed throughout the bath.

"Ugh, I don't want to! Humph! Serves you right for mocking me just now!"

Aqua crossed her arms and raised her head with utter arrogance.

Faced with the unwavering determination of Aqua, Kazuichi Sato was at a loss for what to do.

I had originally planned to tempt him with alcohol, but he had just finished eating and drinking and might not fall for it.

Then... there's only one way.

Although Kazuma Sato wasn't sure if this method would work, he could only give it a try.

"Unless you give me a proper compliment, otherwise—"

"Riding!"

Kazuma Sato suddenly activated his riding skill, enabling him to ride any creature that could be used as a mount.

And Aqua is within the range of this skill's detection!

The next instant, Aqua was floating on the water, and Kazuma Sato was riding on her back.

"?"

Aqua was completely bewildered.

Even more bewildered was Beatrice, who was standing next to Aqua.

No, what happened?

Wasn't Aqua just right next to me?

How did it appear in the water in an instant?

And in such a disgusting position?!
