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

Natsuki Subaru paused, seemingly considering his words, before continuing.

"If something unexpected happens and this thing is still inside me, that would be terrible!"

Natsuki Subaru was a little worried that if he died again later, and the save point refreshed to the time after he was possessed by Petritchius, it would be terrible.

"What are you talking about? I can't accept attacking your own comrades so casually."

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

Although he seemed carefree and nonchalant, he was actually thinking about solutions.

"But that could put us in an even more dangerous situation! And... we still have the opportunity to try and fail."

Subaru Natsuki's gaze grew increasingly resolute.

Sato Kazuma narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at the other person, confirming Natsuki Subaru's will:

"In that case, let's give it a try! Betty, prepare to attack Subaru!"

"what?"

Beatrice looked at Kazuma Sato with a completely bewildered expression.

"If the host suffers a fatal blow, Petitchius probably won't be able to stay in Subaru's body any longer—useless goddess, the rest is up to you! If you were to cast a healing spell now, you should have a chance to save him from his near-death state."

"Hmm, leave it to me! Who do you think I am, this goddess!"

Aqua said with absolute confidence.

"Isn't that too much trouble? I'm already mentally prepared."

Subaru Natsuki said.

Previously, Kazuma Sato sacrificed several lives in order to defeat the Witch Cult.

They should also be aware of this.

Subaru Natsuki's resurrection differs from Kazuma Sato's resurrection; time will be reset. If no one knows the efforts he made, he might also be under immense pressure.

But at least, there are people in this world who know what they have done.

"What are you talking about? People should still cherish their own lives a little."

Kazuma Sato patted Subaru Natsuki on the shoulder and said with a smile.

"But you had all..."

Subaru Natsuki was somewhat moved.

"Do not worry."

Kazuma Sato smiled.

After all, it's not easy to say that he can be unconditionally resurrected after his death and even meet another super gentle goddess. Otherwise, Subaru Natsuki would feel unbalanced.

He then turned to Beatrice and said,

"Betty, are you ready?"

"Ok!"

Beatrice nodded.

She still chose to trust Kazuma Sato unconditionally.

Moreover, she had previously witnessed Aqua's power.

"Minia!"

"treat!"

An extra chapter is here, my darlings!

Chapter 79: Russell: Am I always the one who gets hurt?

A few minutes later.

Subaru Natsuki lay exhausted on the ground.

Beatrice's attack severely injured him, but Aqua immediately cast a healing spell, saving Subaru Natsuki from injury.

"How are you, Subaru?"

Kazuma Sato crouched down and asked Subaru Natsuki how he was doing.

"He... he seems to be really gone!"

Natsuki Subaru reached out and placed his hand on his chest.

Although he couldn't accurately express his feelings, Subaru Natsuki was certain of one thing: the being named Petitchius had indeed left his body.

"Great, has this guy been taken care of?"

Aqua asked curiously.

"I don't think so. After all, this person has the ability to transfer their body. Maybe they've transferred to another place. This kind of ability is the most troublesome."

Kazuma Sato shook his head.

"What if he gets inside you, Kazuma?!"

"Hey, hey, hey, I didn't feel a thing! And why are you suddenly clenching your fist and moving closer to me?! You're not trying to get revenge on me, are you?!"

Seeing Aqua approaching, Kazuma Sato immediately took a few steps back to create distance between himself and her.

"How could that be! Don't you have some misunderstanding about this goddess?"

"That guy shouldn't be able to possess me, because if he could, he would have done it already."

After looking at Subaru Natsuki, Kazuma Sato shared his thoughts.

Natsuki Subaru hadn't really made a move before, and considering all the things he'd done, Petitchius should have chosen himself as the first target for possession.

However, he did not do so, which shows that Petitchius was incapable of doing so.

Aqua is a goddess, and strictly speaking, she is not human, so it is reasonable that she cannot be possessed. The same applies to Beatrice.

Kazuma Sato remembered Beatrice saying that she would monopolize her contractors.

Perhaps this is why Petritchus was unable to possess himself?

Betty, what do you want to eat tonight?

"What's wrong? Why are you suddenly talking to Betty about all this random stuff?"

Beatrice frowned as she looked at Kazuma Sato, sensing that he had ulterior motives.

"But there's something strange about it."

Aqua seemed to have thought of something and spoke up.

"what happened?"

"When I was in contact with that guy just now, I felt like he was shrouded in something, like a curse. I've seen it in other places before. It's a bit like the magic that demons use to interfere with other people's minds, but I'm not sure."

Aqua scratched her head, deep in thought.

"Can you purify it?"

"I asked, Kazuma Sato."

"Theoretically, it's possible, but I didn't have a chance to use it before. This guy who looks like an undead suddenly attacked us."

Aqua shrugged.

“There’s one more thing, Betty. Petitchius suddenly asked Subaru, ‘Are you arrogant?’ Do you know what that meant?”

"Perhaps they mistook Subaru for the Archbishop of Arrogance? After all, Subaru also has the same scent as the Witch Cult, the lingering fragrance of witches."

Beatrice said.

"Do I smell? I shower every day!"

Natsuki Subaru sniffed himself in disbelief, but didn't smell anything strange.

“Rem mentioned to me once before that I should be careful of you, so she used to guard your door every night.”

"Huh? Is that really true?!"

A hint of surprise flashed across Natsuki Subaru's face, but the oblivious Subaru didn't notice it at all.

"So, the people in the Witch Cult don't know each other? As long as someone has the lingering scent of that witch, they're considered one of us?"

Kazuma Sato said thoughtfully.

"So, in that case, previously..."

In the previous playthrough, when Natsuki Subaru encountered the Witch Cult's attack, the Witch Cult members didn't seem to do anything to him; on the contrary, they seemed quite respectful.

Could it be because of the smell on my body?

However, with Beatrice present, Subaru Natsuki couldn't bring himself to discuss the matter further.

A lingering doubt remained in his mind.

In the previous playthrough, I experienced a return to death due to a sudden chill.

It is clear that this was not Petritchius's doing.

So what's going on?

"Although it's uncertain whether Petitchius has been killed, he probably won't make any rash moves tonight."

"That's what Kazuma Sato said."

"Ah."

Subaru Natsuki nodded, and then prepared to check on Petitchius's situation again before returning to the mansion with Kazuma Sato and the others to tell Emilia and the others what had happened that day.

Just as he took a few steps, Natsuki Subaru heard a loud roar.

His mind went blank. The voice sounded familiar, but Natsuki Subaru couldn't quite place where he had heard it before.

Just then, the already thin moonlight was blocked by a huge object, and a shadow fell over everyone.

Natsuki Subaru looked up, only to be met with a huge white creature—

It was only at this moment that Natsuki Subaru recalled the sound he had just heard, as if he had heard it somewhere before.

That was the sound of a whale he had seen on TV before.

At this moment, a huge white whale-shaped creature was flying in the air. It was tens of meters long, and its sides were not webbed but resembled wings. A halo appeared on its huge head.

"This is... a beluga whale!"

Beatrice's eyes widened, and she made an incredulous sound.

"Betty, what is this thing? It looks really bad."

Kazuma Sato swallowed hard and asked.

"This is a magical beast called the White Whale... Legend has it that it was created by a witch four hundred years ago. It moves around the world without any pattern, and wherever it goes, no one survives! Was it attracted here by a large amount of mana?"

Just as Beatrice was speaking, the beluga whale suddenly let out a roar.

Her vision gradually became blurred.

Within seconds, a thick fog had enveloped them, reducing visibility to less than a meter.

"Betty!"

As the thick fog rolled in, Sato grabbed Beatrice's hand.

"do not be afraid!"

Betty isn't afraid at all!

Although Beatrice said this, she was still a little happy inside.

"I'll take you with me!"

Judging from this, is that idiot Kazuma really going to have the princess carry him?

Although Betty isn't the type of child who'd be happy to be held, Kazuma is still my person, and he's very reliable in crucial moments, so I'll let him hold Betty.

It's not because Betty likes to be held!
