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

"Don't you all remember Rem?"

Kazuma Sato quickly asked.

"I'm sorry... I really haven't heard of this name before."

Emilia shook her head.

Kazuma Sato frowned and asked again:

"How many maids are there in the Roswaal mansion?"

"Isn't it just Ram alone?"

Emilia's answer basically confirmed to Kazuma Sato that the other people's memories of Rem had truly disappeared.

"What on earth is going on, Kazuma?!"

Aqua also looked at Kazuma Sato with a panicked expression.

"Why don't they remember Rem at all?!"

Now, only three people who didn't originally belong to this world remember Rem's existence.

"Idiot Kazuma, has Betty lost her memories?"

Beatrice frowned as she looked at Kazuma Sato.

"It certainly seems that way."

"Betty has heard of the existence of things that can make people lose their memories."

"what?"

"The power of gluttony."

"Gluttony? Is it something like sloth?"

“That’s right. Although Betty doesn’t know much about it either, she’s certain that it’s all related to binge eating.”

"But this fog, it's probably the work of the beluga whale, isn't it?"

"A beluga whale? That idiot Kazuma actually knows about beluga whales? And he can even confirm that this fog was caused by a beluga whale?"

"This... I've heard about this before. This strange fog must be caused by the beluga whale!"

Kazuma Sato scratched his head and made up a flimsy excuse.

After all, he couldn't possibly admit that he had seen a white whale in the previous playthrough.

Whether others believe it or not is one thing.

If he accidentally reveals anything related to Return of Death, he could be in serious trouble.

Fortunately, Beatrice didn't think much of it and explained:

"The white whale seems to be the magical beast created by the Gluttony Witch."

"Is this guy out of his mind?"

Kazuma Sato retorted,

"But when exactly did we get infected?"

"It's not us who got hit, it's probably Rem you mentioned. Although Betty doesn't remember her either, there's a very high chance that her existence has been erased."

Beatrice said with a serious expression.

Although Sato Kazuma's words sounded absurd to others, Beatrice still chose to trust him unconditionally.

Even though she had lost her memories of Rem, she still made the most probable judgment based on what she knew.

Just then, a loud bang echoed around them.

That is the sound of a beluga whale.

The surrounding mist suddenly began to churn, as if something was about to rush towards them—

A huge, blood-red eyeball tore through the mist and appeared before everyone.

Even an adult male would appear incredibly small in the face of that eyeball.

Those are the eyes of a beluga whale.

He looked at the crowd in front of him as if they were tiny ants.

"careful!"

Jus immediately stepped in front of Emilia, and at the same time released the invisible hand again to attack the white whale.

Even though Juss did his best, he did not cause any real harm to the beluga whale. On the contrary, his actions seemed to further enrage the beluga whale.

It let out another howl, and the sound alone was enough to cause extreme discomfort.

Kazuma Sato covered Beatrice's ears, and he himself felt dizzy from the intense discomfort.

The sound of beluga whales can cause severe mental pollution to everyone around them.

"Purify! Purify! Purify!"

Aqua was unaffected, but seeing that the others were not in good condition, she immediately used her ability to remove the abnormal statuses from them.

"It's a beluga whale! I wonder what its intestines look like?"

Facing the terrifying monster, Elsa showed no fear whatsoever. Instead, she stepped forward with anticipation, ready to fight it with her scimitar.

Elsa appeared incredibly small in the face of the enormous beluga whale.

"Hey, hey, hey, don't be impulsive, Elsa!"

Kazuma Sato quickly stopped the other person.

Although he couldn't see the invisible hand, Kazuma Sato could sense that Jus had attacked the white whale.

But it had no effect.

If even the power of indolence cannot cause effective damage, then Elsa is simply outmatched against the white whale.

The best thing to do now is to run away!

Although Aqua can revive herself, that is only possible if her body is intact.

Kazuma Sato couldn't guarantee that Aqua would be able to save him if he were wiped out by the White Whale.

"Betty, can you teleport us away?"

"Betty can't get rid of so many people right now! Idiot and your Mana will be drained!"

"Don't worry, I have a plan!"

Just as Kazuma Sato was about to have Beatrice activate her teleportation ability, Subaru Natsuki stopped him.

"No, Kazuma!"

Natsuki Subaru said somewhat anxiously,

"We don't know at what point in time we'll return! If we leave now, Rem might never come back!"

"What are you talking about?"

Beatrice's face was full of confusion.

Natsuki Subaru's gaze, however, had become very determined.

"At this point, this is the only way."

Kazuma Sato looked at Subaru Natsuki; he already knew what the other was thinking.

It would be virtually impossible for them to defeat the white whale with just a few people.

Even if they defeat the White Whale, Rem might not be able to return.

Now they only have one choice.

“Kazuma—”

"Seriously, we're both just shut-ins, so why do you suddenly say such cool lines? Don't worry, I'll figure something out next time. Seriously."

Kazuma Sato said to Subaru Natsuki.

"Ok!"

Natsuki Subaru smiled.

He couldn't help but recall what had happened earlier.

If it weren't for Kazuma Sato, I probably would have experienced many more deaths and returns.

Even if you do your best, nothing you do will be known to others.

They might even have a mental breakdown.

But at least for now, whatever he does, Kazuma Sato and Aqua will be witnesses.

"I'm going!"

Natsuki Subaru nodded to Sato Kazuma, and then rushed towards the direction of the white whale.

The next moment, his body was engulfed by the thick fog.

. . . . .

Consciousness returns to the original body.

The scene before Sato Kazuma's eyes had changed dramatically.

At this moment, he has returned to his residence in the capital.

Russell was right in front of him.

Kazuma Sato carefully placed the teacup he was holding on the table.

Russell finally avoided the tragic fate of being scalded with boiling water.

Kazuma Sato fell into thought.

Time has been reset to this moment...

This also means that the process of conquering the Witch Cult and Juse will have to start all over again.

hateful!

On a brighter note, the correct solution was found in the last playthrough.

This playthrough only requires repeating the same trick.

As for the beluga whale...

To defeat this monster, you'd need at least an army-sized fighting force.

How can it erase the existence of others?

"Damn beluga whale, why did it have to appear at this time!"

As Kazuma Sato thought about what had happened earlier, he couldn't help but complain.

"Lord Kazuma, you just mentioned the white whale?"

At that moment, a look of surprise appeared on Russell's face.

"Ah? What's wrong?"

"It seems that Lord Kazuma already knows about the white whale. Lord Kazuma's ability to gather information is truly remarkable."

"what?"

“One of our caravans from the Royal Capital Merchant Guild suddenly went missing not long ago. We suspect it was the work of the White Whale. The matter is still under investigation and has not been made public yet. I didn’t expect that you, Lord Kazuma, already knew about it.”

Russell looked at Kazuma Sato, and he became even more convinced that Kazuma Sato was no ordinary person.

"Well... I only heard about it by chance."

Kazuma Sato had no idea what the other person was saying, so he could only respond with an awkward but polite smile.

"The White Whale travels all over the world, and people all over the world suffer because of him. Even the previous generation of Sword Saint lost his life at the hands of the White Whale."

Hearing Russell's words, Kazuma Sato became even more determined to avoid the white whale.

This is a level I can't handle.
