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

After a few more brief words, Natsuki Subaru bid them farewell. He needed to hurry back to the mansion with Emilia, Rem, and the others in a dragon carriage.

I heard that it's been quite difficult to rent a motorbike these days, I wonder what's going on.

"Hey Kazuma, let's have another cocktail party tonight! It feels like it's been ages since we last did one!"

"Didn't we just finish drinking it yesterday?"

"By night, almost twenty-four hours had passed! Each day felt like an eternity, as if I hadn't had a drink for a whole year!"

"Really—but if that's the case, let's drink for another night!"

"Great!"

. . . . .

When evening came, everyone returned to the mansion.

Glasses of fine wine were placed on the table, along with all sorts of delicacies from land and sea.

"cheers!"

Kazuma Sato raised his glass high and smiled at the people in front of him.

Although so many things happened along the way.

But no matter what, my life is finally getting back on track.

Now, nothing unexpected should happen again, right?

After finishing speaking, Kazuma Sato closed his eyes contentedly, preparing to drink the wine in his glass in one gulp.

Hot hot hot hot hot!

Kazuma Sato spat out the liquid in his mouth, the burning sensation numbing his tongue.

What's going on? I was clearly drinking chilled wine, so why does it taste scalding hot?

And it doesn't smell like alcohol at all; instead, it smells like... tea.

Kazuma Sato stared blankly at his cup.

It was supposed to be a wooden wine cup, but now it's a teacup, and the liquid inside is steaming. It's clearly a cup of black tea.

and many more....

Could it be that...

Kazuma Sato raised his head, his gaze meeting that of another person.

Russell, equally bewildered and completely soaked, was also present.

Russell has weathered many storms, but what just happened still left him momentarily stunned.

He got sprayed with tea by Kazuma Sato.

What, what’s going on.

"Why did I even set a flag for myself?!"

"Lord Kazuma? This is...?"

Russell looked confused, racking his brains to figure out if he had somehow offended Kazuma Sato.

Has my identity been exposed?

No, I should have been perfectly disguised. I've been contacting them as a businessman all along.

Is it because they are dissatisfied with the profit-sharing arrangement for the partnership?

Before he could even ask, Aqua, standing to the side, looked at Kazuma Sato with a furious expression, calling out his name with heart-wrenching cries:

"Kazuma, Kazuma!"

She also realized that something was wrong.

Time has been reset!

"Aaaaaaah! The wine, that sip of wine! I spent a fortune to buy this child!!!! I didn't get to drink it!!!"

Aqua cried and wailed to Kazuma Sato, her eyes filled with sorrow.

"That's not the focus right now, is it?"

Kazuma Sato said with a frown.

Life has been going so smoothly lately that Kazuma Sato has even forgotten about the existence of Return by Death.

This is Subaru Natsuki's ability.

After Subaru Natsuki dies, the timeline of the entire world will be reset.

This also means.....

Subaru Natsuki has just died!

What happened to Subaru Natsuki?

Earlier, Subaru Natsuki had mentioned what had happened at the mansion, which was probably related to that incident.

"Lord Russell, we have some urgent matters to attend to! We can discuss other cooperation matters in a few days."

"oh oh."

Russell had no idea what was going on, but filled with doubt, he had no choice but to leave.

Shortly after Russell left, there was a series of extremely urgent knocks on the door.

Kazuma Sato and Aqua opened the door together, and there stood Subaru Natsuki in front of him.

His face was deathly pale, the terror still lingering on Natsuki Subaru's face, his heart pounding as if it would burst from his chest.

Subaru, you've been through—

"Don't tell, don't tell!"

Kazuma Sato reached out and covered Aqua's hand.

He knew very well that if Aqua uttered any more words related to the return of death, he would probably die again.

Kazuma Sato never wants to experience that feeling of having his heart crushed again.

I've died far more times in this world than Subaru Natsuki.

"Um......"

Natsuki Subaru was breathing heavily, but he still nodded forcefully.

"What exactly happened on your end?"

"Yes, it's the Witch Cult! The Witch Cult!"

There might be an extra update tonight, my darlings!

Chapter 75: Take a good look, the magic from Kazuma Sato!

"Quickly, tell me what happened!"

"I asked, Kazuma Sato."

Aqua, who was standing next to him, quickly made Subaru a cup of tea.

Subaru Natsuki quickly took the tea that Aqua handed him and took a sip.

It's just boiled water.

Is it just plain boiled water?

Natsuki Subaru looked at Aqua with some surprise, even though he had clearly seen that Aqua had brewed tea.

Forget it.

Natsuki Subaru shook his head vigorously to avoid disturbing his thoughts, but he was finally able to calm down a bit.

"We've been attacked by the Witch Cult!"

Subaru Natsuki recounted everything that had happened.

Because of Ram, Subaru and the others quickly returned to the mansion.

At the time, the mansion was still peaceful. They found Ram and inquired about the situation, only to learn that Ram had used his clairvoyance to discover the unusual scene in the border forest.

A sudden increase in the number of animal carcasses, darting shadows...

Ram wasn't sure what caused it, but there was no doubt that some uninvited guest had infiltrated the territory.

Since it was already late when they returned to the manor, the group decided to go into the forest to investigate again the next day.

However, they were attacked that very night.

It's the Witch Cult.

"...Not only the mansion, but even the entire village was targeted..."

Natsuki Subaru swallowed hard, his Adam's apple bobbing up and down.

"...But something is strange. Those guys didn't kill me. Instead, they took me to a cave."

"Sigh, so how did you die?"

"A blizzard suddenly started, and the temperature dropped sharply. The cold... and then I came back."

Upon hearing Subaru's words, Aqua turned to look at Kazuma Sato:

"Kazuma, I don't quite understand what you're talking about. What exactly is the Witch Cult?"

“I heard Rem mention it once before. It seems to be a very crazy organization, probably similar to the Axis Cult in another world.”

"I'm picking my nose," said Kazuma Sato.

"What are you talking about! My followers are all super cute, okay!"

Aqua put her hands on her hips and looked at Kazuma Sato with a defiant expression.

"They are a very dangerous group of people, and they seem to worship... the Witch of Envy."

"Satella?"

"Um...."

Natsuki Subaru pursed his lips.

"Amelia used this name before too..."

"Why did the Witch Church suddenly attack you? It feels like Emilia's faction has been constantly targeted."

"I asked, Kazuma Sato."

"I don't know either, they were talking about some kind of trial or something."

Subaru Natsuki shook his head. After all, the situation was too sudden, and he didn't have the extra brainpower to think about what was going on.

"Hey, do you think it's possible that they're actually targeting Emilia?"

Kazuma Sato suddenly thought of something and spoke up.

"what?"

“I investigated before. The previous Witch of Envy was also a silver-haired half-elf, and Emilia was hated by many people for the same reason.”

"Indeed..."

"I'm afraid that's why the Witch Cult targeted Emilia."

As he spoke, Kazuma Sato reached out and gently stroked his chin.

"However, it is common knowledge that the Witch of Envy is sealed away. If they come knocking on our door—could they think they can use some means to free the Witch of Envy with Emilia's help?"

Kazuma Sato analyzed the situation based on current information and the plot of the anime and novels he had previously read.

Currently, this possibility is quite high.

In other words, the Witch Cult's only target is Emilia, and it should be unrelated to other candidates.

"Never forgive!"

At that moment, Aqua, incredibly excited, slammed her hand on the table and shouted loudly,
