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

Looking at the countless expectant eyes before him, McCrotov knew that he could not deny it.

He turned to look at his other colleagues in the Sages' Guild, who also wore expressions that said, 'We have no other choice.'

McCrotoff could only swallow hard.

"No, that's right. We're going to hold a cocktail party next... and use the drinks to have the candidates give speeches... Mr. Marcus, please, please get ready..."

Chapter Sixty-Eight: Then Let's Go Completely Insane!!!

On the other side, Felix also looked confused.

Crusch said he was going to hold a party because he was joking with the other person, intending to tease Crusch.

Turns out I was right?

Kazuma Sato looked at Mycroft and could see the barely concealed panic on the other man's face.

McCrotov looks to be in his seventies or eighties... right at the prime of his political career.

and.....

How did this meeting turn out like this?

Kazuma Sato turned his head and looked at Marcus again.

Sweat was beading on the forehead of this man, who clearly had been through countless battles.

It seems to be yet another victim.

Marcus never expected things to turn out this way.

The matter concerning the selection meeting was of paramount importance to him, so he had prepared the procedures in advance to prevent any unexpected situations.

But no matter how much he planned, Marcus never expected things to turn out this way.

Left with no other choice, he could only immediately arrange for the members of the Royal Guard to make the necessary preparations.

. . . . . .

About ten minutes later, several tables were set up in various locations in the main hall, and the five candidates sat around the table in the very center.

The knights and palace servants brought out the fine wines stored in the palace and presented them to everyone.

Aqua impatiently pulled the cork off the bottle with her teeth, then continued gulping down the contents.

"It's so cool!"

Supporters of candidates like Kazuma Sato and Roswaal sat at another table, frantically gesturing to Aqua to tell her to watch her step and stop drinking!

Upon seeing Kazuma Sato's fingers, Aqua gave him a thumbs-up and nodded.

only.....

She completely misunderstood what Kazuma Sato meant.

"Kazuma lets me drink whatever I want! Cheers!"

As Kazuma Sato watched Aqua begin drinking heavily again, his lips twitched a few times before he smiled with relief and poured the drink in front of him into his own glass.

Destroy the world.

Nothing that happens afterward can be worse than it is now.

"Kazuma, why do you look like you're doomed?"

"Things have developed to this point, it's pretty much over..."

Kazuma Sato downed his drink in one gulp, then shook his head.

If it's just Crusch talking about parties and such, it shouldn't be a big deal.

As a result, Aqua also jumped out and said some strange things, which completely changed the nature of the meeting.

And if it were just Aqua, that would be one thing, but none of the other candidates raised any objections?

Even Emilia, who is one of the few normal people, is like this...

Kazuma Sato couldn't help but worry about the future of this country, and he could also clearly hear the conversation between Aqua and the others at the next table.

"Lady Aqua, I admire your bold drinking style! You must be quite an extraordinary person indeed!"

Crusch earnestly expressed her admiration to Aqua.

This is not something to be admired!

Kazuma Sato shouted in his heart.

"That's nothing, I have even more amazing skills to offer!"

Aqua said.

Please, please don't let it be that one!

Aqua then waved her hand, and the wine in the bottle gushed out like a fountain.

"Oh?"

Even Priscilla's gaze had to be drawn to Aqua.

"It seems you're quite adept at pleasing others at banquets, which is quite valuable. In the future, when I host banquets, I'll have you liven up the atmosphere."

"Of course!"

This isn't a compliment at all!

Kazuma Sato's hands trembled slightly, and he could only pour himself another glass of wine, hoping to get drunk quickly so he could forget everything.

The wine glass in his hand even seemed to have cracks.

Seeing the scene in the hall, McCrotoff was at a loss for words. After a moment of silence, he could only speak to Marcus:

"Commander Marcus, the rest of the meeting agenda is now in your hands."

"Um....."

Marcus seemed to momentarily display a look of resignation, then cleared his throat and said loudly:

"Now, all candidates, please stand... sit in your respective positions and take turns giving speeches regarding this royal selection. First, Lady Priscilla Baliel and her attendant Al."

Priscilla stood up from her seat, using her fan to shield her arrogantly smiling face:

"The selection of a king is meaningless! I am the most qualified person to sit on the throne. All you need to do is bow down and submit to me!"

"He really is a mentally unstable guy."

Kazuma Sato immediately labeled Priscilla in his mind.

"The head of the family, Lord Crusch Karsten, and his knight and squire Felix Argyle."

"On the day I become king, I will make the dragon forget the alliance that has lasted until now. The dragon-owning kingdom of Lugnica does not belong to the dragon, but to us!"

Crusch stood up and spoke loudly and solemnly, her gaze involuntarily drifting to Aqua beside her, as if wanting to see Aqua's reaction.

After all, it's rumored that Aqua has some kind of connection with Shenron.

"There seems to be nothing wrong with what she said... but with Phyllis as a knight, it's hard not to imagine that she has some strange fetishes. She's not stupid, but the possibility of her being a pervert is very high!"

"The Hessin Merchant Guild, Anastasia Hessin and her knight Julius."

"We're greedy; we want everything. No matter how successful we are in business, we're never satisfied. That's why we want our own country!"

Anastasia wore a childlike, innocent smile.

"What a greedy idiot... But so far, doesn't anyone else here think that these people's statements are getting more and more outrageous?"

Kazuma Sato continued his intense吐槽 (tu cao, a form of online commentary/criticism).

"Lady Emilia, and her recommender, Count Roswaal L. Mezas of the Border."

"Hey, Subaru, why didn't he mention your name?"

"Shut up....."

"I have only one wish... and that is fairness!"

Emilia seemed a little drunk, but she still tried her best to speak in the loudest voice possible.

"I want to create a country where everyone is equal!"

Upon hearing Emilia's words, Kazuma Sato breathed a sigh of relief and finally made a more normal statement.

Currently, Emilia is the only one in this world who is relatively close to being a normal person.

Of course, all of this is based on the premise of not drinking with Aqua.

"Next up is Lady Aqua, and her companion Kazuma Sato."

It’s finally here!

Kazuma Sato turned to look at Aqua.

He had spent half the day preparing for today's meeting, helping Aqua prepare her speech.

In such situations, it's always okay to talk about topics like equality, peace, and the people.

Kazuma Sato forced Aqua to memorize a section of it, and as long as she repeats it in her own words, there shouldn't be any major problems.

But in the next second...

Kazuma Sato immediately sensed that something was wrong.

Aqua stood up, her body slightly unsteady.

Is she already drunk?

Indeed, that was the case. Aqua had just shown off her talent by gulping down two large bottles of alcohol in front of Crusch, and was now in a tipsy, euphoric state.

And her already limited brain capacity meant she had long forgotten all the speech that Kazuma Sato had prepared for her.

In Aqua's eyes now, this is the part of the party that's meant to liven things up!

The first thing I'll do is show everyone my talent!

Amidst the puzzled gazes of the crowd, Aqua placed a glass of wine on her head and then held a fan in each hand, which appeared out of nowhere.

The next instant, jets of water gushed out.

Flowers, birds, wind, and moon!

World, please destroy it one more time.

At this moment, all Kazuma Sato wanted was to disappear from this world.

Or you could die early and go find Eris to be reincarnated.

However, when Aqua was performing her talent, many people looked at her with serious expressions.

"That's quite an extraordinary method, Lady Aqua."

Roswaal looked at Aqua with a knowing smile on his face.

"To achieve this level, one needs extremely precise control over mana. Even I might not be able to do it. Is Lady Aqua demonstrating her abilities to everyone, using force as a form of intimidation?"

Many people couldn't help but sigh.

"amazing...."

"It's incredible that they were able to achieve this level of skill."

"No chanting, no props, just casting spells directly... She's definitely not an ordinary person."

Seeing the looks from the others present, Aqua nodded in satisfaction.

"Lady Aqua, please explain your political philosophy to us."

Just then, McCrotov finally spoke up.

He was very interested in Aqua's ideas.

"Political ideals! I want everyone to become my believers!"

Aqua raised her glass and shouted.

"Oh? Quite an interesting person. Seems like someone who isn't just an ordinary ant."

Priscilla narrowed her eyes slightly, showing a rare expression of admiration for Aqua.
