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

As Aqua pondered this, she shifted her gaze to Beatrice.

"Why are you looking at Betty with such a sad look! Betty knows what you're thinking without you even saying a word! Betty's just afraid that idiot Kazuma will cause trouble again!"

Beatrice said with great excitement.

"Hehe, a mere four-hundred-year-old little brat."

"What did you say!"

"Disrespecting the goddess will bring divine retribution!"

"Oh dear, let's get to the point!"

Kazuma Sato quickly steered the conversation back on track, as it seemed impossible to continue discussing the topic of breast pads.

He looked at Aqua and asked again:

"But you mentioned last time that Elsa's body seems to have some connection to the undead? If that's the case, will it have any impact on her joining the Order?"

"She must have been modified later in life, something akin to a curse."

Aqua replied.

"curse?"

Elsa narrowed her eyes slightly, a hint of surprise flashing in them. She knew that what the other person was talking about was probably the 'blessing' within her, which was also the source of Elsa's self-proclaimed half-vampire constitution.

Cursed Doll.

This is a curse. The user inscribes the message of the target to be killed along with the curse onto a person. After activation, the cursed person will not die before killing the target, but as a price, they will gradually lose themselves and will be unable to do anything except kill the target. Moreover, if they have already suffered a fatal wound, they will die at the moment of killing the target.

However, Elsa's body is quite special, or perhaps it is because she possesses terrifying mental strength. Even after being modified by the cursed doll, Elsa's mind was not affected.

This is the source of Elsa's immortality.

"It's because of this curse that this guy carries a hint of the undead race's aura."

"No wonder... What will happen if the curse isn't lifted?"

"This curse originally had no effect on her, but although she is human in essence, if she becomes my follower in this state, her body will probably suffer great pain at all times."

"Great! Great!"

Before Aqua could finish speaking, Elsa wrote her name on the application form without hesitation.

The next instant, a strange feeling surged into her body—

Immediately following was an intense and unstoppable pain.

"Um, I can easily remove the curse..."

"It's okay! I feel amazing right now, so amazing! I can't believe this is happening! Thank you so much! This feeling~ ah~"

Elsa seemed to be thoroughly enjoying the feeling, her cheeks flushed slightly with excitement, and her body seemed to be trembling.

"Kazuma..."

Aqua turned to look at Kazuma Sato.

"Yes."

Kazuma Sato nodded.

The two of them reached an agreement with just a glance.

Elsa is the epitome of perversion.

"Kazuma-sama~ This feeling is amazing~"

"Hey, hey, hey, don't say things that could be misunderstood!"

"Thank you so much! I've never had such a wonderful experience before! Is there anything I can do for you? I'd be happy to help. If it were the intestines of other candidates, I could do that too..."

"no, I'm fine!"

Kazuma Sato waved his hand repeatedly, but a meaningful smile appeared on his face.

"I happen to have a task that I need you and Mary to do!"

. . . . . .

The next morning, sunlight streamed into the mansion.

Kazuma Sato yawned and came out of the room.

Another hangover, another nightmare, and then Elsa causing trouble—Sato Kazuichi didn't sleep well all night.

As soon as I came out, I saw Felt, who was full of energy, but I didn't see the trio of thugs.

"Where are Lachins and the others?"

"I asked, Kazuma Sato."

"They left before dawn saying they had urgent business to attend to, and it seemed very important."

"oh oh."

Kazuma Sato nodded, guessing that these guys must have gone off to make money.

"Where's Mary? I haven't seen her this morning, and there's no one in her room either."

"Fairut asked."

"Merry said she went to visit relatives."

"Visiting relatives?"

Ferut's brow furrowed in confusion.

Good morning...

On the other side, Aqua, who had just stepped out of the room, also yawned listlessly.

What are you having for breakfast?

"Morning....."

This immediately put Kazuma Sato into deep thought.

Previously, they lived in Roswaal's mansion, where they didn't have to worry about food, clothing, or shelter.

Now that they've left... it seems like no one is taking responsibility for this aspect anymore.

Can not be done.

Just then, a light knock came from outside the door.

"Huh? Has anyone come? Is it Lazens and the others returning, or is it that old man from yesterday?"

Sato Kazuma walked curiously to the door and slowly pushed it open.

What came into view was a handsome face.

With fiery red hair and eyes as blue as the sea, there was no doubt that the man standing before Kazuma Sato was a handsome man.

He was wearing some kind of uniform, but what was most eye-catching was the huge sword hanging at his waist.

However, since he was male, Kazuma Sato wasn't very interested.

"you are?"

The other person seemed surprised that Kazuma Sato didn't recognize him, but he maintained a polite smile throughout and bowed very courteously to Kazuma Sato.

"Nice to meet you. Please allow me to introduce myself. I am Reinhard van Astrea. I am here on behalf of Lord McCrotoff to arrange breakfast for Lady Aqua and Lady Kazuma."

Reinhard clapped his hands, and behind him, several servants carried various delicacies into the house with utmost respect.

Although the Sages are theoretically supposed to remain neutral, in Mycroft's eyes, Aqua and Shenron have an inseparable connection, so he also wants to get a little closer to her.

However, he could no longer make public appearances, so he let Reinhard handle the matter.

"Wow! That's great!"

A smile instantly bloomed on Kazuma Sato's face.

"Once you, Lady Aqua and Lady Kazuma, are ready, I will escort you into the royal city. But there's no rush; there's plenty of time. Just let me know when you're ready, and I'll be waiting outside. Please be sure to let me know if you need anything!"

"Thank you so much."

Kazuma Sato smiled and nodded.

It seems that my decision to have Aqua forge her identity was the right one!

"Furthermore, as one of the Royal Guard Knights, I would like to express my respect to Lord Kazuma and Lady Aqua on behalf of the members of the Knights."

"what?"

"It was thanks to you that you defeated that infamous bowel hunter that an irreparable tragedy was averted in the capital."

As he spoke, Reinhard sighed again.

"However, during the escort of the Bowel Hunter, the guards in charge of the escort were suddenly attacked by a monster, resulting in the Bowel Hunter's disappearance. If I had been there at the time, I might have been able to prevent all of this from happening."

Upon hearing Reinhard's words, Kazuma Sato could only manage an awkward yet polite smile.

That gut hunter appeared early this morning!

And now.....

She's one of our members, I suppose.

The monster that attacked the guards was undoubtedly Melly's doing.

This monster is...

Now I'm part of their camp too...

However, Kazuma Sato simply couldn't bring himself to say these words at that moment.

Fortunately, both Melie and Elsa have been relocated to other places by Kazuma Sato, so there's no need to worry about them being implicated in any issues arising from their exposed identities.

"Lord Kazuma, you don't look too well?"

"No, it's nothing, I just didn't sleep well last night."

"I see. Lord Mycroft has also prepared excellent tonics."

"Thank you, I'll leave it here."

"Also, Lord Kazuma, we are still investigating the whereabouts of the Bowel Hunter and the reason for her appearance. She is a very dangerous person, so please be careful of her revenge. Our Knights can provide you with protection."

"We appreciate the thought, but this is unnecessary, haha..."

. . . . . .

Meanwhile, outside the capital, in a deserted forest.

Dozens of monster corpses lay on the ground, their abdomens pierced by sharp weapons.

And it was Elsa who created all of this.

"Sister, the monsters here have been mostly dealt with. Shall we go and collect the commission fee from them?"

Melly jogged up to Elsa and asked with a smile.

Accept commissions, kill monsters, and earn commissions.

This is the task that Kazuma Sato assigned to the two of them.

Melly's abilities can easily lure hidden monsters.

Elsa's superior fighting ability allows her to take them all down.

These two are one of Kazuma Sato's cash cows!

"Hmm~"

Elsa wiped the blood off the blade and nodded.

"Sister, why do you look so happy! You spent time alone with Kazuma yesterday, right? That's why he asked us to come here!"

"Yes, he's really special! That pain, it was amazing! I can still feel it now, it's incredible! Amazing!"

After signing that application form, Elsa was constantly feeling pain in her body.

She herself didn't know the underlying principle, but she thoroughly enjoyed it.

Elsa had a blissful expression on her face, which made Meli's mind wander.
