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

As for the other matter, it seems that Subaru Natsuki is unable to reveal anything about Return of Death to others—

Otherwise, you might end up like me, with your heart crushed by some inexplicable thing, and then you die.

But, but!

Why is Aqua unaffected?

Is it just because she's a goddess? That her physical structure is different from that of ordinary people?

It's not fair, it's not fair!

"It's getting late, and I'm so hungry! Kazuma, what should we do next?"

Aqua raised her head and looked at Kazuma Sato with a pleading expression.

Kazuma Sato sighed, then looked at Subaru Natsuki:

Subaru, what are your plans next?

"Me, me?"

Because what had just happened was so shocking, Natsuki Subaru was still somewhat in a daze.

“I plan to go to Ferut again and give her Satella… no, that’s not her name, the lost badge.”

Subaru Natsuki also told Kazuma Sato and Aqua about what had happened earlier, and it was from the latter that he learned that Satella was the name of the Witch of Envy.

"But, but why did she give me a fake name?"

Subaru asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Of course! He obviously hates you! Generally, you only use a fake name when you meet someone you don't like!"

"Ugh..."

Aqua's words pierced Subaru's heart like a sharp blade, and he collapsed to the ground as if he had suffered an unbearable blow.

Aqua, taking advantage of the situation, snatched the plastic bag from Subaru's hand, opened it to reveal the corn chips that had traveled with Subaru, and began to devour them. Then she turned to look at Kazuma Sato.

"Kazuma, I've told you my real name, how about that!"

"This is the first time I've seen someone use this as a point of bragging."

Kazuma Sato looked at Aqua with disdain, then walked to Subaru Natsuki's side, gently patted his shoulder, and whispered in his ear,

"Don't listen to Aqua. That guy is mentally challenged. That girl uses a pseudonym to cover up her identity. Maybe she has some unspeakable secret. She might have a very noble status."

In Sato Kazuma's eyes, Natsuki Subaru, who was also a time traveler, gave him a feeling of being fellow sufferers in the same world.

"That's true. That beautiful girl gave me a very noble feeling, and that badge is no ordinary thing either!"

"That thing must be very valuable! We'll have to demand a hefty reward from her later!"

A meaningful smile appeared on Sato Kazuma's face.

"Reward? No need for that! I'm returning the badge to that girl because she did me a favor!"

"Wait, wait, wait, you don't want any benefits? You just want to return the lost item to someone else?"

"Yup!"

Seeing Natsuki Subaru's incredibly determined gaze, Sato Kazuma couldn't help but purse his lips.

This guy is hopelessly infatuated with love!

Would someone go to such lengths for a woman they've only met once or twice?

This is too terrible!

However, Sato Kazuma remembered that the other person was also a gamer like himself, and a tiny bit of resonance stirred within him. He adjusted his emotions slightly and then patted the other person on the shoulder:

"If we find the badge beforehand, should we just return it to that girl?"

"No, no!"

Natsuki Subaru immediately shook his head.

"We still need to find Felt! Warn them about the danger! Otherwise, if Elsa goes there, things will get really bad!"

Although they had only met twice, Subaru Natsuki felt he absolutely could not leave Felt and the others unattended.

Even if she found the badge beforehand, Elsa would still go and kill Felt and Rom.

Because... in the first playthrough, Subaru Natsuki clearly saw that Erza had massacred Felt and Rom's hideout.

"hiss....."

Kazuma Sato was at a loss for words.

After all, he didn't really want to get involved in that mess again.

Even if Aqua could revive herself repeatedly, the feeling of death was still not pleasant—although seeing the goddess Eris could offer some solace to her mind and body.

Elsa is not someone they can handle right now.

Unless he and Aqua can master more skills.

Kazuma Sato took out his Adventurer Card, and after the previous two playthroughs, he successfully gained another skill point.

[Currently learnable skill: Sensing Enemies, a rogue-type skill that allows you to sense the number of enemies and distinguish between humans and monsters.]

"Since I've been stealing things, is the newly unlocked skill still a thief-type skill...?"

Sato Kazuma muttered to himself with a hint of helplessness, but he had no other choice but to learn how to sense enemies.

"Give it a try."

The instant Sato Kazuma used the "Sense Enemy" skill, a strong sense of hostility surged into his mind.

"You bastard, you actually stole from me!"

Chapter Fourteen: Yes, she is my mentally challenged sister.

Kazuma Sato turned his head and saw Felt, who had a displeased expression on her face.

Felt hadn't gone far when she sensed something was wrong. She stopped and rummaged through her pockets, only to find that the badge she had painstakingly stolen was nowhere to be found.

Felt knew she would never make such a basic mistake as accidentally losing her badge; someone must have sabotaged it.

During Ferut's escape, she only saw one person, and that person seemed very suspicious.

That's Kazuma Sato.

So Felt returned immediately, determined to settle scores with Kazuma Sato.

"Only you could have stolen my things!"

Upon seeing Felt return, Kazuma Sato immediately realized something was terribly wrong, but his exceptional composure allowed him to feign utter confusion.

"What badge? I don't know what you're talking about."

"It's definitely you! I've run into this suspicious guy all the way here!"

Felt stared intently at Kazuma Sato as she spoke.

She was pretty sure that it was definitely Kazuma Sato who had done it, but the incredibly innocent expression on his face made Felt hesitate for a moment.

"Don't make false accusations! I didn't do anything! My family has been poor since I was a child, but I never steal or rob. I've always worked hard to earn money to support my mentally disabled sister."

Kazuma Sato immediately feigned being wrongly accused and deeply saddened, his voice choking with emotion.

"We've been orphans since we were little. My sister was born with a mental disability, and we have to work hard to earn money to treat her..."

Aqua, standing next to her, looked completely bewildered.

A mentally challenged younger sister?

Kazuma actually has a mentally challenged younger sister?

I do not know how?

She had no idea that Kazuma Sato was referring to herself.

On the other side, Natsuki Subaru stared blankly at Sato Kazuma.

Is this guy really capable of doing something like this?

While pretending to cry, Kazuma Sato recounted his 'family misfortunes,' which made Felt begin to question herself.

Although I was an orphan from a young age, my life with Grandpa Rom was quite happy.

And Aqua next to her doesn't seem to be very smart either.

"Alright, alright, what kind of man cries like that! How about this, you help me find the badge, and if you find it, I'll give you a reward, okay?"

Felt immediately stepped forward to comfort him, patting Sato Kazuma on the back.

Just as Felt lightly patted the other person, something rolled out of Sato Kazuma's pocket, landing with a crisp sound among the crowd.

The badge fell to the ground, spinning ironically as if mocking everyone, before finally settling down exhaustedly several seconds later.

However, everyone around them had gloomy faces, and a suffocating silence filled the air between them.

The first to break the silence was Kazuma Sato.

"Wow! Is this the badge you were looking for? Perfect, I found it for you! Hahaha! About the reward—"

Before Kazuma Sato could finish speaking, Felt delivered an uppercut that sent him flying.

Although Kazuma Sato was taller than Felt, his strength, stamina, and agility, which were far below average, made him no match for Felt.

"You bastard, how dare you lie to me! And how on earth did you manage to steal something from me?!"

Felt wasn't going to give Sato Kazuma any chance to breathe. This guy dared to lie to her, so he had to be taught a lesson.

She raised her foot, ready to deliver a flying kick to Kazuma Sato.

Kazuma Sato could not forget the fear of being dominated by Felt's flying kick in the previous playthrough, and in desperation, he could only quickly activate his ability.

theft!

Only in this way can we stop Ferut's attack!

As Kazuma Sato activated his ability, Felt, who was just about to unleash a flying kick, seemed to freeze in place, completely motionless.

Her face flushed red, and she slowly lowered her raised leg.

In Kazuma Sato's hands, those familiar white panties reappeared.

"I've won! I've won! Come on, kick me! Weren't you so arrogant just now? If you make any more moves against me, I'm going to throw these panties away~"

Kazuma Sato wore an incredibly lewd smile, his body writhing like seaweed, and he held his panties high in his hand as if he had obtained a priceless treasure.

He believed he had successfully stolen Ferute's panties, and that she would surely be too ashamed to do anything inappropriate.

What Kazuma Sato lacks most is a sense of shame!

only.....

This tactic was ineffective against Ferut.

The more Ferut is threatened, the more she will oppose you.

"You dare threaten me, huh?!"

Felt's displeasure was immediately apparent. She pulled a dagger from her waist and pointed it at Kazuma Sato.

The instant she pulled out the dagger, Kazuma Sato had already knelt on the ground with a speed beyond anyone else's imagination.

"I'm sorry! I'll give it back to you right now!"

The change in attitude was faster than turning the pages of a book. Kazuma Sato, kneeling on the ground, raised his hands as if holding a precious treasure, ready to return the small white panties to Felt.

"You bastard, I'm going to teach you a lesson today!"

Felt looked at Sato Kazuma in front of her, and a nameless fire rose in her heart. This was the most shameless person she had ever seen. Just a moment ago, he was playing the victim with an innocent look on his face, and now he was kneeling down and apologizing without any warning. How could someone be so shameless?

However, there was one thing that Ferut cared about even more.

'How did this guy...do that?'

Ferut was completely baffled. What methods had this person used to steal these things from her?

Leaving aside the badge for now, how did this guy steal his own panties?

Is it magic? Or some other special ability?
