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

Just a few seconds later, Kazuma Sato revealed an extremely serious expression and spoke loudly.

"What does it have to do with you?"

"We'll be teammates who depend on each other from now on!"

Betty didn't agree to that!

"And as a young girl, I naturally have a responsibility to help you with your problems! As the saying goes, respect the elderly and care for the young... Hmm, Aqua should be considered an old lady, right? Well, since I can't respect the elderly, I can certainly care for the young. But let me make it clear beforehand, I'm not a lolicon!"

"Were you even listening to Betty?!"

Beatrice clenched her small right fist tightly; the sadness she had just felt was instantly dispelled by Kazuma Sato's nonsensical words.

Having lived for over four hundred years, how could he be lectured by this young and ordinary guy in front of him?

Beatrice clutched the Book of Wisdom tightly, biting her lip as countless thoughts flooded her mind.

After several seconds of silence, Beatrice finally spoke slowly:

"You, you're not Betty's 'the one'..."

"what?"

Betty waited and waited for that person to arrive. Betty waited for a very, very long time. Her mother told Betty to stay in the forbidden library until that person appeared and took her away... But the book remained unchanged...

Finally, Beatrice revealed her situation.

Her voice choked, tears welled up in her eyes, her eyes were like flower petals wet with dew, and her breathing became rapid.

"You mean, this book determined your lifestyle from then on? And that's why you stayed in the forbidden library for four hundred years?"

Kazuma Sato reached out and pointed to the Book of Wisdom in Beatrice's arms.

"Hmm... Betty is asking you, would you be willing to be that person? Even if it's a lie, Betty will believe it."

Beatrice looked at Kazuma Sato with tears in her eyes, a hint of expectation in them.

She didn't spend much time with him.

But Beatrice didn't know why, but ever since this guy appeared, her life had changed dramatically.

Although she was very busy, Beatrice did indeed set foot on the outside ground for the first time in a long time because of this.

Anyone can become that person, even if it's a lie.

"You might have some misunderstanding about me. I'm not the kind of scoundrel who would deceive young girls!"

Kazuma Sato didn't answer immediately. He looked thoughtfully at the Book of Wisdom, then waved his hand and said seriously.

"Really... You don't want to be like Betty...?"

With her only hope shattered, Beatrice's eyes seemed to dim instantly. She lowered her head, her face filled with only disappointment and sorrow.

"But I'm a very capable person. I never lie. All I have to do is turn a lie into the truth!"

A smile appeared on Kazuma Sato's face.

"what are you saying?"

Beatrice looked up again, her face full of confusion.

"theft!"

Before Beatrice could react, Kazuma Sato suddenly activated his skill.

"Huh!? What's going on!?"

The next instant, what appeared in Sato Kazuma's hand—

It is a book of wisdom.

Beatrice looked down in surprise; the Book of Wisdom in her arms had vanished.

She had no idea how Kazuma Sato had done it.

Kazuma Sato immediately opened the Book of Wisdom, picked up a pen from the table, and wrote a sentence on it.

—Kazuma Sato is that person, and Betty will go on an adventure with him!

"Since you say this book determines your fate, then why not just write down the relevant information in it?"

Kazuma Sato put the book down and returned it, along with the pen, to Beatrice.

"The rest is up to you to write."

Beatrice lowered her head, looking at the Book of Wisdom in her hands.

In that instant, countless thoughts flooded her mind.

Kazuma Sato actually wrote such words directly on the Book of Wisdom?

Moreover, the words the other party had just spoken were like a brand, deeply engraved in Beatrice's heart.

The rest of the content is to be written by yourself?

The rest of the content is to be written by yourself....

The rest of the content is to be written by yourself.

Betty had never thought of such a thing.

Was that what your mother meant at the time?

Regardless of the details, there are indeed words about 'that person' in the book.

Kazuma Sato, that's the person.

"Kazuma..."

Beatrice turned to look at Kazuma Sato, her heart filled with mixed emotions.

Kazuma Sato is truly different from everyone else.

Perhaps his usual frivolous and silly demeanor is just a disguise?

Just then, Beatrice saw that Kazuma Sato had picked up his pen again, and was looking at her with a lewd expression.

"If Betty were written to become a mature, sophisticated woman in the book, what would you—"

"You're still that idiot, Kazuma."

"Sigh, this is the first time I've heard you call me by a name other than 'idiot'."

"You idiot, Kazuma!"

Beatrice wiped away her tears, and finally a smile appeared on her lips.

Chapter 58: The Path to Becoming a Supreme Mage Ends in Demise!

"I really feel that you idiots are a bit unreliable, so Betty reluctantly agreed to travel with you! Next is signing the contract."

Beatrice took Sato Kazuma's hand.

A purple magical aura enveloped the two of them, and Kazuma Sato looked around in surprise.

However, a second later, the surrounding purple halo completely disappeared.

"Sigh, is that all?"

Kazuma Sato quickly asked, noting that this was somewhat different from the scenes in the games he played where he made contracts with spirits.

"It's over. Do you have some inexplicable expectation?"

"After I sign the contract with you, will there be any buff effects?"

"BUFF?"

Beatrice's face was full of confusion.

"It's something like buffs or enhancements. Normally, what kind of effects should there be when you form a contract with an elf, right?"

"Isn't it enough to have Betty by your side? But there's one thing I need to tell you: after you sign the contract with Betty, Betty's mana will be taken from you!"

"Huh? So young and already sponging off your parents? Hey, hey, hey, I'll have to charge you!"

"You idiot, Kazuma!"

As Beatrice spoke, she sensed the mana within Kazuma Sato's body.

"So, Betty doesn't know what type of mana you have... wait..."

A look of surprise appeared on Beatrice's face.

Sato Kazuma took in all of her expressions, which made him wonder if he really possessed some unknown power.

"What's wrong? What's wrong, Betty!"

"Your door is very special."

What is a door?

"You idiot Kazuma, what do you even know?!"

Beatrice sighed, but the smile never left her face.

Her way of addressing Sato Kazuma changed from "idiot" at the beginning to "idiot Kazuma".

"The door is inside each person's body, used to conduct mana..."

Beatrice used her other hand to extend her slender fingers and explained very carefully to Kazuma Sato.

“Everyone has a different Mana attribute. Betty is Yin, your brother is Fire, and you are a little special.”

"Oh! What am I?!"

"The mana within you seems to have a very high compatibility with various attributes."

"Hahahaha, I knew it! Looks like I have the talent to be a mage!"

Kazuma Sato wore an extremely smug and maniacal laugh.

It seems I really have a lot of room to grow in this other world.

He had already begun to fantasize about what it would be like to become the most powerful magician.

"But....."

At that moment, Beatrice's brows furrowed slightly.

“But you idiot Kazuma, the amount of mana in your body is too little, far less than that of ordinary people, let alone those specialized magicians. Although you have mana of all attributes, it also means that you cannot use those large-scale spells. And your door, how should I put it, is a bit ‘small and exquisite’.”

Small and exquisite.

Small and exquisite.

Small and exquisite.

These words kept echoing in Sato Kazuma's mind, and he collapsed weakly to the ground.

"But it's okay, you should be able to learn the most basic magic."

"Betty, that doesn't sound like comforting words..."

Kazuma Sato struggled to his feet, shook his head,

"I only have this much mana, are you really willing to take it all?"

"There's nothing we can do about it, since Betty herself can't produce mana."

“…”

Kazuma Sato's lips twitched slightly.

In real life, I would be tormented by that useless goddess.

It seems that even in terms of magic, I'm going to be completely drained by this old woman and young girl in front of me.

"But there shouldn't be any problem if Mana dries up, right?"

Kazuma Sato asked again, "In those games, if the characters lose their magic, it simply means they can't use magic."

"They'll die, after all, if Mana dries up, it will start consuming Ode, which is similar to a soul."

"?"

Kazuma Sato stared wide-eyed at Beatrice in shock.
