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

Page 119

Satella looked at Subaru Natsuki, her eyes filled with sorrow.

These words seemed to solidify something in Subaru Natsuki's mind, and he stepped forward—

"I will definitely save you."

He didn't know why he said those words.

Just by looking at the uncontrollable sorrow in the other person's eyes, he already had the idea of wanting to save them.

It seemed like an innate mission.

Echidna watched all this with a blank expression, seemingly lost in thought.

"Hey, fake Echidna, Satella doesn't look quite like the one I remember."

Kazuma Sato dusted himself off and walked over to Echidna, asking her a question.

"I am the real deal, no doubt about it!"

Echidna's lips twitched slightly as she turned to look at Kazuma Sato.

She no longer knows what to say.

All the other great sin witches have already appeared, so the one left must be Greed!

Or.....

Kazuma Sato noticed—

The realization that one is not a complete product.

"Never mind, what kind of image of Satella do you have in mind?"

"She's the witch who almost destroyed the world, but she doesn't seem like it. She's more like a depressed version of someone obsessed with love."

"The one who destroyed the world was the Witch of Envy, and now it is Satella who has come to the City of Dreams."

"The Witch of Jealousy and Satella are not the same person?"

Kazuma Sato asked curiously.

He noticed that when Echidna uttered the words "witch of envy" again, her face revealed undisguised anger and disgust.

"They share the same body, but the jealous witch is merely a product of the witch's genes and someone whose nature is incompatible with her."

"It's like the relationship between Jus and Petitchius, right?"

"That's it."

"I see."

Kazuma Sato nodded thoughtfully, then after a few seconds of silence, he seemed to remember something.

"Then why do Satella and Emilia look exactly alike?"

"do not know."

Echidna gave an immediate answer, though it's unclear whether it was a result of careful consideration.

Sato Kazuma simply and quietly replied:

"Useless witch".

"."

Echidna felt her temples throbbing uncontrollably, and she even had some difficulty breathing.

"According to that kind of clichéd plot, maybe Emilia is the reincarnation or clone of Satella or something. Anyway, 'the resemblance is just a coincidence' is the least likely answer."

Kazuma Sato retorted.

"Copies... What if everyone you see here is a copy, including Subaru Natsuki? He might be a copy of someone else."

Echidna said meaningfully.

"It doesn't matter, as long as he's the Natsuki Subaru I know, isn't that enough?"

Kazuma Sato said nonchalantly.

"Yeah....."

Echidna hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped herself.

"Oh, I see. Are you a true clone of Echidna?"

"You've really gone too far! How many times have I told you, I am the real person! I am the real person! I am the real person!!!"

Echidna's voice was already breaking down.

"You came to the Holy Land just to resurrect me!"

"We're going to resurrect the real Echidna, but you're clearly a dangerous element! I don't want to resurrect you!"

"If you're willing to resurrect me, even just to form a contract with me, I can help you fulfill all your dreams! With my wisdom, I can still give you plenty of ideas! Do you know how many people in this world long to see me, just to ask me a few questions?"

Echidna said with a smile.

She harbored an incredibly strong curiosity about Kazuma Sato.

This curiosity surpassed all other emotions in Echidna's heart.

"I do not want it."

Kazuma Sato gave a negative answer without hesitation.

"Ah? Why!"

"You useless witch knows nothing when asked, yet you claim to be smart. I feel like you're not much smarter than Aqua."

“…”

Echidna's body seemed to tremble slightly with excitement.

Calm down, calm down, calm down!

You are the Witch of Greed, the smartest person in the world!

How can you let your emotions affect your judgment?

After calming herself down, Echidna spoke again:

"Even if you don't need my wisdom, as long as you resurrect me, I will do whatever you want!"

"Anything is allowed?!"

A light seemed to flash in Kazuma Sato's eyes.

"Of course!"

"So in the real world, can you also freely adjust your body shape like in Dream City?"

"Um... that's unlikely. After all, this is the realm of consciousness, and I haven't researched any magic to change my breasts yet—why do you suddenly look impatient?"

"As expected, I still can't bring you back to life."

Kazuma Sato's eyes were almost slits, and there seemed to be a hint of disdain in his gaze.

"Hey, hey, hey...."

Echidna's mind raced as she considered how to persuade Kazuma Sato to resurrect her.

After all, his original plan had completely failed.

She didn't want her soul to be trapped here for the rest of her life.

But... how exactly can I persuade Kazuma Sato...?

Just then, as if he had thought of something, Kazuma Sato asked:

"Wait, this is the City of Dreams, which is theoretically a dream, right?"

"No, that's right..."

"Can you intervene in dreams?"

"Interfering with dreams? Theoretically, it's possible, isn't it?"

"So, so! In dreams, you can do anything, right? You just conjured up fine wine for the useless goddess out of thin air, didn't you? You could even conjure up a super hot girl, right?"

Kazuma Sato's lower body and brain had already begun to operate at high speed.

"No, that's right."

"If you were to be resurrected, would you still have this ability?"

"There should still be some left, after all..."

Echidna was a little confused, having no idea what Kazuma Sato wanted to ask.

"Echidna, I will do everything in my power to revive you!"

Suddenly, Kazuma Sato's face showed an extremely resolute expression, and he patted Echidna on the shoulder, as if to say, "Please trust me as much as possible."

What? What's going on?

Echidna was completely losing her rhythm.

Kazuma Sato's attitude suddenly changed completely?

What exactly is in his mind?

"Kazuma, Subaru! We've wasted so much time here, it's time to go!"

Just then, Aqua waved to Kazuma Sato and Subaru Natsuki and shouted loudly.

"Wait for me, Lady Echidna! I will definitely revive you!"

Kazuma Sato said to Echidna, then jogged toward Aqua's location.

"Wait for me! I will save you!"

Natsuki Subaru spoke to Satella with utmost seriousness, then followed in Sato Kazuma's footsteps.

"Let me see you out—"

Before Echidna could react, Aqua casually waved her hand, and a huge rift appeared in the Dream City. The group of them walked into it and left the Dream City.

Echidna's hand hovered in mid-air for several seconds before she slowly lowered it and let out a long sigh.

I'm free now, finally free!

Why does it feel more tiring to be dead than to be alive?

but--

Curiosity has become even stronger.

It seems like I've gotten to know Kazuma Sato a little better.

Echidna smiled and kept repeating the name.

She turned her head and looked at Camilla beside her.

In Echidna's eyes, Camilla's appearance gradually began to resemble that of Kazuma Sato.

"I really want to know you better."

"Little Donna, what are you muttering about?"

"Nothing at all!"
