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

Although she was a child, by being next to Kazuma Sato, Mei Li had also learned some things that she shouldn't have known at her age.

"By the way, sister, it's been so long since I made a doll!"

"That's right, I'll make one for you today, Mary."

Elsa smiled and patted Mary's head.

Elsa enjoys making dolls, especially after a series of killings, and she has over ten years of experience in this field.

That's why Mary has all sorts of toys, and she loves the dolls that Elsa made for her.

"The materials here are limited, but I know how the finished product will look, and what kind you'd like."

"I haven't decided yet, so let's do something really special! There was this older brother named Natsuki Subaru who told me about something called a robot, something made of mechanical parts. Can you make one, sister?"

"I haven't heard of it before, but I'll give it a try anyway."

As Elsa spoke, she picked up stones and branches from the surrounding area, and then, listening to Melly's description, she carved shapes with a scimitar.

This is the middle of nowhere, and materials are very limited. They can only make a rather simple doll. Besides, Elsa doesn't know what Melie is talking about.

But for some reason, Elsa always felt as if her hands could move on their own, with incredibly fast and skillful movements.

Even with her extensive prior experience, Elsa shouldn't be able to achieve this level of skill.

what on earth is it?

Elsa was also a little puzzled, but just over ten minutes later, her hands stopped moving, and she stared blankly at her work.

The finished product differed somewhat from her ideas.

Melie also looked at the dolls Elsa had placed on the ground with a puzzled expression:

"Sister, what is this?"

"I... I don't know, I just did it based on my gut feeling."

The two sisters focused their attention on the dolls in front of them.

If Subaru Natsuki or Kazuma Sato were present at this moment, they would surely be astonished by Elsa's work.

Gundam.

Chapter 66: Crusch, please, you have to be a woman!

Several hours later, at the gates of the royal city, Kazuma Sato and Aqua arrived, escorted by Reinhard.

Ferut wasn't interested in such things, so he stayed behind with Rom to watch the house.

Beatrice, on the other hand, went to the royal city with Kazuma Sato.

Since signing the contract, Beatrice has been inseparable from Kazuma Sato.

The royal city stands on a high ground in the center of the capital, resembling a coiled silver-white dragon from afar, with magnificent buildings towering within it, and golden dragon runes imprinted on the city walls.

Kazuma Sato had previously investigated Lugunica, and it seemed that the country had a worship of the dragon that went beyond ordinary beliefs.

While it's impossible to confirm whether some rumors are true, Kazuma Sato is certain of one thing: dragons truly exist in this world.

How could a world of swords and magic be complete without such fantastical creatures!

"Lady Aqua, this is the royal palace."

Reinhard stopped in his tracks. Standing before him was a magnificent and luxurious building, making anyone appear incredibly small in comparison.

The presence of numerous dignitaries and nobles in their finest attire demonstrates the immense importance of today's royal selection.

"Are you two Lady Aqua and Lady Sato Kazuma?"

Just then, another voice belonging to an unfamiliar male rang out from the side. Sato Kazuma turned his head and saw a purple-haired man of similar age to Reinhard walking up to them and bowing respectfully.

"Please allow me to introduce myself. I am Julius Euclius, a member of the Royal Guard. I have long heard of your heroic deeds. Thank you for your contributions to Lugnica."

Julius had a smile on his face.

"Is that person Aqua?"

"The fifth candidate who previously caused the miracle."

"I heard they even defeated that infamous Northern assassin, the Bowel Hunter. They're definitely no ordinary person!"

Almost simultaneously, everyone's gaze fell on Aqua and Kazuma Sato.

This secretly pleased Sato Kazuma, so he went along with what the other person said:

"No, no, it's what I should do for the safety of civilians!"

"I truly admire Lord Kazuma's chivalry, but... is Lady Aqua feeling unwell?"

Julius turned to look at Aqua, who hadn't said a word the entire time.

"Lady Aqua's throat is a little sore today."

Kazuma Sato immediately said.

Actually, it was Kazuma Sato who told Aqua to stay silent for the time being.

After all, with Aqua's intelligence, it would be terrible if she said the wrong thing.

Even Kazuma Sato, who hates troublesome things, had to prepare several speeches for today's royal election.

after all.....

If the truth comes out, it could cost you your life.

Even if Aqua could revive him and allow him to meet the gentle and kind goddess Eris, Kazuma Sato still wanted to avoid the pain of death as much as possible.

Moreover, you might be hunted down by an entire country at that time, even if you just want to live a peaceful life.

Although Aqua's eyes held a hint of resentment, she still followed Sato Kazuma's instructions and tried to remain silent as much as possible.

"I see. We can ask Phyllis to take a look then. He used to be a member of the Royal Sanatorium, so he should be able to—"

"no need."

Kazuma Sato gave his answer without hesitation.

The nightmare I had last night is now resurfacing in Kazuma Sato's mind.

Fortunately, I didn't spend much time with Felix, otherwise I might have developed a much stronger psychological trauma.

"OK....."

Julius was somewhat surprised by Kazuma Sato's quick refusal, and at that moment, his gaze fell upon Beatrice beside him.

His expression changed instantly, as if he had seen something extraordinary, and he actually knelt down on the ground:

"I never expected that a high-ranking elf like yourself would attend such an occasion!"

Julius's words were full of respect.

"Humph!"

Beatrice proudly turned her head to the side.

"Is Betty really that famous?"

Kazuma Sato looked at Beatrice beside him with some surprise. It wasn't just Julius who knew of her existence today; McCrotoff had known so yesterday.

"Of course, Betty is Betty!"

Beatrice answered with her hands on her hips.

"After all, Julius is also an elf user."

Reinhard said with a smile.

Julius possesses the blessing of being able to attract spirits, making him easily liked or approached by elves. He can share vision and converse with elves, and because of his superb swordsmanship, he is the only elven knight among Lugnica, so he is very knowledgeable about things related to elves.

"Could it be because he's been a recluse for four hundred years and has become famous for it?"

"You idiot, Kazuma!"

Beatrice clenched her fist and lightly punched Kazuma Sato on the back.

"Excuse me, but let me introduce you too. This is Beatrice, my contracted spirit!"

Kazuma Sato raised his head with a hint of pride.

He knew that there were very few people in this world who could form a contract with a great elf.

And I am one of them!

Although Beatrice was also unable to perform at 100% due to her own reasons.

However, there is no doubt that I am a great spirit wielder!

"So, Lord Kazuma is a contractor all along? That's impressive."

Julius expressed his sincere admiration for Sato and Maki.

"The meeting is about to start, so let's go in first."

Reinhardt said to Julius.

"Yes, I will wait here for Lady Anna."

"Lady Anna?"

Kazuma Sato recalled that he seemed to have heard a similar name before.

Anastasia, one of the candidates.

"Lord Kazuma, Lady Aqua, and Lady Beatrice, let's go inside first."

"Ah."

Shortly after Kazuma Sato and the others left, a petite woman appeared before Julius.

She has long, light purple curly hair, soft and fluffy like clouds, and beneath it is a cute, somewhat childlike face.

Anastasia Hashin.

He was one of the five candidates.

"Julius, were those people Aqua and Kazuma Sato just now?"

Anastasia asked curiously, her gaze drifting towards the direction of the royal palace.

Although she has a very cute appearance, her accent is quite unique.

Anastasia had heard about Aqua before, but she wasn't in the capital at the time, so she wasn't able to witness it firsthand.

“That’s right, Lady Anna.”

Julius nodded very respectfully.

"What do you think of them?"

Anastasia inquired.

"It's not clear from a short time together, but I feel that Mr. He Zhen is no ordinary person. He has signed a contract with a great elf."

"I see. The royal selection process is sure to be very interesting. Let's go in together."

"Ah."

. . . . . .

Kazuma Sato followed Reinhard into the royal palace hall. The magnificent walls were adorned with dragon patterns. Compared to the royal palace, even the already luxurious Roswaal mansion paled in comparison.

"Wow....."

Even Aqua, who had been silent for a long time, couldn't help but sigh.

"Useless goddess, are the buildings in your divine realm inferior to those here?"

Kazuma Sato asked in a low voice.

“…”

Aqua simply looked at him and nodded.

"Hey, hey, hey, I told you to talk less, not to not talk at all! Besides, you already made a sound!"

"Fine! There's nothing there in the realm of gods, it's so boring!"
