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

Simply perverted.

At this moment, Kazuma Sato looked at Priscilla with great anticipation and couldn't help but swallow hard.

The latter then removed the black lace gloves covering her arms and handed them to Al.

“Al, give this reward to him.”

"The princess is not the kind of person who gives things away casually."

Al handed the gloves to Kazuma Sato and patted him on the shoulder.

"cut....."

Kazuma Sato looked at the glove with a disappointed expression.

It still carried Priscilla's warmth and exuded a faint fragrance.

However, the rule states that you should take off one piece of clothing, so it doesn't seem like that's against the rules.

"Today's banquet was quite interesting. I hope you can bring me even more fun next time. Let's go, Al."

After speaking, Priscilla turned around and left with Al.

"Sigh! Are we going to run away just because we lost one game?!"

Kazuma Sato shouted at Priscilla's retreating figure.

However, Priscilla did not stop walking; she simply looked down at her hands.

"Rock-paper-scissors is such a boring game, but it can surprisingly help pass the time. Al, come and try rock-paper-scissors with me."

"Spare me, Your Highness, how could I possibly win against you?"

Al scratched his helmet again.

This is not flattery from a subordinate.

"What was that guy's name again?"

"Kazuma Sato."

Al replied, turning his head slightly and glancing thoughtfully at Kazuma Sato.

Meanwhile, although Priscilla and the others had left, the party was still going on.

Kazuma Sato held Priscilla's gloves and took a deep sniff—

I have to say, it smells really good.

The perfume she uses must be incredibly expensive.

I'm afraid any one of Priscilla's clothes is more expensive than the entire fortune of her entire faction.

hiss.

This means that these gloves must be very expensive, right?

Kazuma Sato glanced around to make sure no one was aware of him, then quickly hid his gloves in his pocket.

"Mr. Kazuma."

Just then, a slightly familiar voice rang out behind Kazuma Sato. He turned around and saw the person he had met the night before.

Rikers.

Rickert looked around, his brow furrowed. He hadn't expected the solemn royal election meeting to turn out like this.

"You are......"

"That's right, I was the one yesterday..."

"Who's coming?"

“…”

The veins on Rickert's forehead seemed to throb. He held a high position in Lugnica and was a well-known figure.

But this guy didn't even remember his own name.

"I was at the restaurant yesterday..."

"Oh, I remember now, you're the one who isn't from the Sages' Guild! I think your name is... Ricardo?"

“...Rikert!”

Rickert felt his blood pressure spike, and he was having some difficulty breathing.

Kazuma Sato stared intently at Rikert, whose face looked rather lewd.

"What do you want from me? Could it be that you want that guy's gloves? Those are my spoils of war, I'm not giving them to you! But if you're willing to pay a hefty price, I might consider it!"

"What would I need that for?!"

Rickert's voice seemed to tremble slightly; normally, he would probably have gone berserk.

However, Rikert also knew that Aqua was someone that was of great concern to McCrotoff and other prominent figures in Lugnica, as well as Kazuma Sato.

After witnessing the miracle caused by Aqua yesterday, Rikert was somewhat shaken.

Moreover, he came here with other things to say.

Rickert took a deep breath, composed himself, and then slowly said:

"Mr. Kazuma, this morning, my good-for-nothing son came to see me and we had a long talk. Did you send him?"

“Your son… Oh, Lazens!”

Kazuma Sato remembered that he had talked a lot with Lazens the night before.

However, his goal was simple—

They are currently penniless.

Since Lachins' family is noble, we should make good use of that!

"That guy Lachins is really clueless; he has no idea what it's like to be a parent!"

Kazuma Sato's attitude changed instantly. He put his arm around Rickert's shoulder and said a bunch of quotes about how parents' hearts are full of love but are not understood by their children.

Originally, Rikert thought that Kazuma Sato was a very unreliable person, but after hearing what he said, he couldn't help but feel a sense of resonance.

As they chatted, they ended up sitting down together and starting to drink.

"...You're right! Sigh, these kids have no idea how hard it is for us parents! Surviving in politics is not an easy thing!"

After finishing his speech, Rickert poured out all his grievances.

"That's right! Uncle, have another drink!"

Kazuma Sato nodded as he refilled the glass in front of Rikert.

"Oh dear! I was really quite rude yesterday!"

After letting out another sigh, Rickert turned to Sato Kazuma and said with utmost seriousness,

"Thanks to Lord Kazuma's words to my son, he finally came to his senses! Although we discussed many issues this morning, he seems determined to follow in your and Lady Aqua's footsteps. Since that's the case, I can't say anything more—our Hoffman family is also willing to support Lady Aqua. If you need anything, please feel free to ask... What is this?"

Rickert looked in front of him with some confusion. Just as he was speaking, Sato Kazuma had already asked Aqua for paper and pen.

"Let's write a written agreement."

"what?"

"Since you say you're going to support us, then you must have some kind of proof or something!"

Kazuma Sato looked at Rikert with utmost seriousness.

"And to show our sincerity, how about we get some... campaign funds first?"

"Um....."

"Just write here that you are willing to provide financial support to Kazuma Sato free of charge."

"..."

A look of surprise appeared on Rickert's face, but under the influence of alcohol, he didn't think much of it and nodded, signing his name on the paper.

"Lord Rickert!"

Upon seeing the words written in black and white, Kazuma Sato's face lit up with an immense smile of joy.

"what happened?"

"Lord Rikert, you should be a member of the Sages' Guild!"

"...Could we please stop talking about this topic?"

"Lord Kazuma, do you have time to chat?"

Seeing that Rikert and Sato Kazuma were having a pleasant conversation, some noble officials came to his side, wanting to get closer to him.

As for Aqua—

"Crusch, not bad at drinking! Let's have another round!"

"Compared to Lady Aqua, she pales in comparison."

"Next time you have the chance, we'll let you try some Karalaki wine!"

"It tastes so good...it tastes so good...I'm not drunk..."

. . . . . .

After an unknown amount of time, the party themed around Wang Xuan finally came to an end.

Many nobles were drunk and staggering, while the other candidates left the palace under the escort of their subordinates.

Kazuma Sato and Aqua, also riding in the dragon carriage arranged by the Rikert family, embarked on their journey back to the mansion.

"Kazuma, I'm so dizzy..."

"Who told you to drink so much? Hey, hey, hey, don't throw up on me! Go throw up outside the window!"

Kazuma Sato pushed Aqua to the window of the carriage, and she leaned her head out as well.

She saw a large crowd gathered together, seemingly watching something exciting.

Chapter 70: Aqua, Betty, activate Super Transformation!

"Please stop!"

Seeing the lively scene with so many people in front of her, Aqua's curiosity was instantly piqued, and she immediately told the dragon carriage driver to stop the carriage.

"What's wrong, you useless goddess?"

Kazuma Sato asked curiously.

"I'm afraid this guy just saw something boring again."

Beatrice, sitting on the other side of Kazuma Sato, crossed her arms and spoke slowly.

"There are so many people over there! I need to go see what's there!"

"Do you really enjoy watching the drama?"

"Come on, come on! Betty, let's go take a look!"

"Ugh."

Beatrice sighed helplessly.

What happened today was truly hard for her to believe.

Although she hadn't left the mansion in a long time, Beatrice still believed that the selection of a king should be a very serious matter.

How did it turn into a cocktail party?

And the most crucial thing is...

Kazuma Sato wouldn't let himself drink a single drop!

She's over four hundred years old, yet she insists on calling herself a young girl!

╭(╯^╰)╮!

Although Beatrice kept saying she was disgusted, she still got off the dragon carriage with Kazuma Sato.
