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

At first, Felt may have had some respect for Kazuma Sato, but after spending time together, she became certain of one thing.

This guy is a real scumbag.

"Lord Kazuma!"

Emilia stared in shock at everything before her, while Felt calmly said:

"Don't worry, Aqua-sama has the ability to heal all wounds. Even if this guy dies, Aqua can bring him back to life."

"Oh?"

Upon hearing these words, Roswaal uttered a meaningful sound.

"Lady Aqua is actually capable of such a thing?"

"Yes, this guy fell into a trap earlier and was dead beyond any doubt, but Lady Aqua revived him."

"Fairut replied."

"That's interesting."

Roswaal narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze fixed on Aqua.

"Little girl, are you Aqua?"

Beatrice looked at Aqua and asked, having heard the name from Kazuma Sato before.

"Yes."

Aqua answered immediately.

But after speaking, Aqua suddenly realized something:

"Wait, wait, wait, what do you mean by 'little girl'?"

Beatrice in front of me was clearly a little girl who was not even ten years old.

She actually called me "little girl"?!

No matter what, she's a goddess!

"To Betty, you're just a little girl. Betty has been here for over four hundred years."

"You dare to speak to me like a senior after only four hundred years! I'm a goddess, for goodness' sake! Four hundred years is just a blink of an eye for me! I've been the 'worst superior' for ten thousand years!"

Aqua immediately straightened her chest and said.

"I don't know what she's talking about, but it doesn't seem like something to brag about..."

Natsuki Subaru muttered under his breath.

"goddess?"

Beatrice's eyebrows twitched slightly upwards.

This guy.....

Is your brain okay?

Beatrice had initially thought that having Kazuma Sato among the guests was enough, but she hadn't expected there to be another heavyweight among them.

Someone actually calls themselves a goddess?

"Why do you look so disbelieving? Kazuma, tell them right now!"

Aqua turned her head to look at the bed, where Sato Kazuma, already fast asleep after Felt's attacks, could only cast pleading glances at Natsuki Subaru.

"Subaru, you'd better prove them wrong!"

"Forehead....."

Natsuki Subaru scratched his head, looking somewhat bewildered, and gave an awkward but polite smile.

Although he had to admit that Aqua did indeed possess very special abilities...

However, Natsuki Subaru never fully believed whether the other party was truly a goddess. After all, a typical goddess wouldn't be like Aqua, right?

And even if I really did believe it...

Acknowledging this in this atmosphere might actually lead others to categorize them as the same type of person as Aqua.

"Hey, hey, hey, what are you hesitating for, Natsuki Subaru? Be careful, or you won't be able to flush the toilet in the future."

Aqua's gaze toward Subaru seemed to carry a hint of murderous intent.

"This is the first time I've heard of such a threat..."

Natsuki Subaru felt ashamed.

"What a bunch of childish idiots, what can they do besides causing Betty trouble..."

Beatrice was feeling utterly exhausted, both physically and mentally. Why was there such a guy in the mansion?

And there were two of them at once.

Despite feeling somewhat helpless, Beatrice still walked up to Kazuma Sato, whose appearance had been altered beyond recognition, and cast a healing spell.

Thanks to Beatrice's treatment, Kazuma Sato was able to open his eyes again.

Meanwhile, Aqua clenched her fists.

Damn it, how come everyone in this world knows healing magic?

Doesn't this make me seem completely superfluous?

Chapter 38: Aqua, filled with a sense of crisis, and Betty, troubled.

What to do? What to do? What to do!

If so many people know healing magic, wouldn't that make me seem useless?

What if Kazuma abandons me then?

Aqua couldn't help but imagine herself lying on the streets, hungry and cold.

Absolutely not!

"Lord Roswaal, the tea for recovery is ready."

Just then, Rem walked into the room carrying a pot of tea.

When Kazuma Sato was unconscious, Roswaal instructed Rem to prepare some tea for him.

"This is a very precious tea. Even if I wanted to get my hands on it, it wouldn't be easy. It's said to have good medicinal value."

Roswaal introduced them with a smile.

The moment Rem entered, the entire room was filled with the refreshing aroma of tea, which was enough to make one feel relaxed.

Upon seeing Rem carrying tea, Aqua's little brain was working at lightning speed. As if she had suddenly thought of something, she rushed to Rem's side.

"give it to me!"

She took the teapot from Rem's hand, sat down next to Kazuma Sato, poured him a small cup, and then spoke to him in an incredibly gentle tone.

"Come on, Kazuma, drink slowly~ Be careful, it's hot."

"Hey, hey, hey, why are you suddenly acting so gentle? Is it because you're worried that I'll abandon you because I think everyone else has healing magic?"

Upon waking up, Kazuma Sato immediately saw through Aqua's inner thoughts.

"Haha, how could that be? We're comrades! Of course I'd be worried about you!"

Although Aqua said this, her gaze had already shifted away guiltily.

Kazuma Sato picked up the teacup, his heart filled with curiosity about this precious tea.

Even Roswaal, who seemed so wealthy, claimed that this tea was extremely valuable, and Kazuma Sato became even more eager to taste it.

This isn't something that just anyone can drink!

What does it taste like?

With anticipation in his heart, Sato Kazuma took a small sip of the tea in his cup—

"It's plain boiled water."

Kazuma Sato put down his teacup and looked at Aqua beside him with a smile.

"Lady Aqua, it's been so long since I've had such plain water."

"Um... I have something to do, I have to go now."

Aqua scratched her cheek with one hand, stood up, and took several steps back.

She forgot about her passive ability as the goddess of water.

It can purify any liquid it touches into the most ordinary water.

And this pot of incredibly expensive tea, under Aqua's influence, turned into ordinary water.

"Plain water?"

Rem tilted her head in confusion. This was tea she had brewed herself; there was no way something could go wrong.

She immediately stepped forward to check, but Sato Kazuma, who had been lying on the bed, sprang up and grabbed the teapot to his chest:

"No, no, no, I mean, the water I used to brew the tea is incredibly, incredibly clear! This tea is really delicious! So delicious!"

Kazuma Sato gave the same awkward laugh as Aqua a minute earlier.

If Roswaal knew that the precious tea he had carefully prepared had been purified into plain water by this useless goddess, he would definitely be very unhappy.

"Since Lord Kazuma likes it, that's wonderful. However... there's one thing I have to admire about you."

Roswaal smiled and looked at Kazuma Sato.

"Ah? What's going on?"

"This is a teapot filled with hot tea, how can you just hold it in your arms like that?"

"Aa ...

"How much trouble do you have to cause Betty before you stop?!"

. . . . . .

In the evening, everyone gathered in the mansion's dining room.

Kazuma Sato sat in his seat, looking utterly dejected, recalling everything that had happened that day.

I originally fantasized about embarking on a carefree journey to another world and being able to recruit beautiful fairy girls as teammates.

But why, why did it turn out like this?

As he thought about it, Kazuma Sato turned his head slightly to look at the person beside him.

Beatrice was sitting in the seat next to her.

Why is this seemingly unapproachable little girl sitting next to me?

"Why do you look so surprised that Betty is next to you?"

Beatrice frowned and glared at Kazuma Sato.

"Haha, no, no."

Kazuma Sato gave a negative answer without hesitation.

Although he had fainted from fright, Kazuma Sato absolutely, positively, positively did not want to be attacked by the Great Spirit.

Even though he had never witnessed a great elf in battle, he didn't want to see it.

“Betty is worried that you, you idiot, will do something inexplicable again. First you scared yourself into fainting, then you were beaten up by your own companions, and then you grabbed a teapot full of hot tea with your bare hands. Betty can’t understand why you did all that.”

After Beatrice finished speaking, she sighed wearily.

“Your fainting has absolutely nothing to do with Betty—at least 99 percent of the time! Why should Betty be responsible for your stupidity?”

"Tsk tsk tsk, that's the classic tsundere persona of a young girl."

Kazuma Sato said with a smile.

"Betty really needs to teach you a lesson..."

"sorry."
