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

Jus looked at Kazuma Sato in disbelief, then turned to Beatrice for confirmation.

The latter also nodded.

"How...how could this be? How could this happen? Why did it turn out like this? Didn't any of the other believers stop me?"

“Jules, the Witch Cult of today is completely different from the Witch Cult you once knew.”

Beatrice sighed. Although she felt a pang of guilt, she believed that some things had to be revealed to the person before her.

"The Witch Cult is now a notorious terrorist organization that is infamous throughout the world."

"How could this happen? What on earth is going on?!"

Jules' voice trembled slightly; he simply couldn't believe Beatrice's words.

"Huh? Wasn't the Witch Cult like this before?"

Aqua asked curiously.

She still vividly remembered being chased by dozens of fully armed witch cultists.

"Besides proselytizing, we used to help residents in various places solve all sorts of problems. Although there are some radicals in the sect, our Witch Cult as a whole is just an ordinary religious organization. What exactly happened?"

"Betty didn't know either. It seems that without her noticing, the Witch Cult has become what it is today."

Beatrice shook her head.

“Strange, Petty…Jules, you really don’t remember anything after that.”

Subaru asked.

"I'm sorry, I really can't remember anything right now... but I'm afraid I've really done something irreversible."

Juss lowered his head and looked at his hands, a wave of sadness and regret washing over him.

"Oh Betty, he can remember things from the past, so why can't he remember things that happened recently?"

Kazuma Sato asked Beatrice about the situation with curiosity.

"I'm afraid that Jules has had false memories implanted in him, which is why he's like this."

Beatrice said with a serious expression,

“Betty had read some of the books her mother left behind. One of them mentioned that memories shape a person, that memories are an important part of the soul, and that one could even say that a person’s essence is what makes them. If you seal someone else’s previous memories and then implant a false memory, then strictly speaking, that person becomes a completely different person. Their personality, way of speaking, preferences, and so on will all change. And just now, Aqua probably deleted the tampered memory and broke the seal on the original memory. Who could do something like that?”

Beatrice was extremely concerned about this matter.

Those who can seal and alter memories are few and far between in the entire world.

And Aqua... can actually restore it directly.

Although Beatrice didn't see Kazuma Sato being repeatedly revived by Aqua in this loop, she was already certain in her heart that Aqua was an extraordinary being.

"Where is Emilia? I need to see her right now! Please help me get there!"

"That's what Jules said with utmost seriousness."

He didn't know what happened afterward, which is why he went to Emilia to confirm.

At the same time, Juss also longed to see Emilia, whom he had once regarded as a daughter, again.

How happy they were, living with Fortuna in the great forest.

"I'm sorry, it's not possible right now."

Kazuma Sato shook his head, rejecting Jus's offer.

"May I ask your name?"

Jules asked very politely.

"Just call me Kazuma."

"May I ask, Lord Kazuma, is there a reason why it's inconvenient for me to go see Emilia?"

"Forehead......"

For a moment, Kazuichi Sato didn't know what to say.

At this moment, Juss's gaze was incredibly sincere.

But.....

His face, combined with that gaze, was rather incongruous.

Beneath the green mushroom-shaped head is a face that Aqua would mistake for an undead. No matter how you look at it, this person seems like a good person, right?

He would even frighten the children to tears if he were put into the village.

Sending him to see Emilia now... is probably not a very appropriate course of action.

"Why are you staring at my face, Mr. Kazuma? Is there something on my face?"

"Um... does anyone have a mirror?"

After searching for a long time without finding anything suitable, Kazuma Sato had no choice but to take matters into his own hands.

"Frozen."

He cast a spell on a glass of water, and a wave of cold air instantly swept out, submerging the glass.

only......

The scene of water instantly freezing into ice did not occur.

"Excuse me, what are you doing?"

"Wait a minute, just a little longer, it'll be ready soon!"

Kazuma Sato immediately said.

"Hey Kazuma, you don't mean to freeze me into an ice cube, do you?"

Aqua looked at the cup on the table, then a mocking smile appeared on her face.

"Keep it up! If you work a little harder, you should be able to catch up with the efficiency of the second-hand ice maker!"

"Shut up, you useless goddess!"

"I said through gritted teeth," Sato Kazuma said.

He had already mastered some basic magic.

result.....

Is that all?

Fire magic only makes others feel hot.

The freezing magic couldn't even freeze a cup of water in half a day!

Damn it, damn it!

Can magic or similar things be cultivated to become stronger?

After several minutes of 'cooling', Kazuma Sato finally finished his work, freezing the water in the cup into ice cubes, which could barely be used as a mirror.

"Hey, Jules, take a look for yourself."

As he spoke, Kazuma Sato handed the ice mirror to the other person.

Jules took the mirror and looked at himself—

"Ghost!"

The next instant, Jus's eyes rolled back, his legs went weak, and he almost fainted again.

"Are you alright, Jus?!"

After Beatrice grabbed his shoulders and shook him for a long time, Juss gradually came to his senses.

He took a deep breath. His mental state was already somewhat poor after he had just regained his memories, and he had just suffered one blow after another, which made his will somewhat blurred.

"I... I think I just had a hallucination. I saw a really scary guy appear in front of me..."

"Ah, isn't this exactly what you look like now? This is definitely not an illusion!"

Aqua, who was standing nearby, had already returned to her seat and sat down. While eating the food on the table, she looked at Jus and complained.

"Even among the undead skeletons or zombies, you'd be considered ugly. The moment I saw you, I couldn't help but cast Undead Dispel."

"..."

"Jules, wake up! Don't pass out again!!"

Chapter 83: Please, please stop talking!!!

"This...this is my face? No, no, no! Why did I choose this body?"

Upon regaining consciousness, Juss stared incredulously at his reflection in the mirror, then collapsed to his knees, wailing in despair.

Because his true form was a micro-elf, Juss had changed bodies many times over the past few hundred years.

While he was still operating under the identity of Jules, he had already changed bodies quite a few times.

Even if the new body is either male or female, Jus will at least choose one that is presentable in appearance and figure.

But at this moment, this new body can't be ugly, it's just too unbearable to look at.

Would I choose this face for my future self?

If I had to pinpoint a connection, this does indeed share some similarities with one of my former bodies—

That is short hair with green on top.

But is that face for real?

It's like someone falling face-first to their death and then rotting for several days.

"If we go to see Emilia directly like this, it will definitely scare him."

"It's Jules," he said in a trembling voice.

Aqua walked up to Jus and gently patted his shoulder.

Just when everyone thought Aqua would offer some comfort, she instead spoke leisurely:

"That's absolutely true! You do look a bit scary right now. If Emilia saw you, she'd probably have nightmares!"

"You useless goddess, at least watch the occasion when you speak!"

Kazuma Sato sighed helplessly.

"What have I been doing all these years?"

Jus turned his gaze to Sato Kazuma and the others, and asked.

He had a vague idea that he had done something very bad, but he didn’t know exactly what it was.

I am afraid.....

The sins I've committed over the years are far more terrifying than I imagined.

"We have no idea what you did."

Kazuma Sato shrugged. After all, he didn't know much about the Witch Cult and didn't know exactly what Petticius had done before. However, he had asked Elsa and the others before and had a certain understanding of the situation.

Petritchius, the Bishop of Sloth, is arguably the most infamous of the bishops of sin.

After some deliberation, he decided to reveal some of the truth to Jules.

After all, the other party will have to face reality sooner or later, and it's always better to know about it now than later.

"All we know is that the Witch Cult is now infamous, and you should bear some responsibility for that."

"Bhirarch of Sloth, even I've heard of that name~ You've destroyed countless towns, I must say, truly impressive."

Elsa narrowed her eyes slightly and smiled at Petitchius.

"me......"

Jus looked down at his hands, as if he could see countless drops of blood flowing from his fingertips.

He simply couldn't imagine what had happened between himself and the Witch Cult during that time.

Clearly, this shouldn't have happened...
