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

"Oh! Kazuma, she actually said it! How shameless!"

Aqua, standing to the side, also stared at Echidna in shock.

"Dona actually admitted that she's useless!"

Typhon was complaining in Echidna's mind again.

Echidna took a deep breath; she felt like she was almost suffocating.

That should count as passing the test, right?

"Alright, I won't tease you anymore, you useless witch. Even an idiot like Aqua could see through your disguise at a glance."

"You'll be punished by heaven, Kazuma."

"This old woman...this old woman has no idea what you're talking about..."

Echidna couldn't understand where she had given herself away; she should have even concealed her witch aura by now.

"Have you looked in a mirror after your soul was transferred?"

Seeing that the other party wanted to continue pretending to be stupid, Kazuma Sato sighed.

Chapter 121: Watch closely! My power as the strongest mage on Earth!

"Look, look in the mirror?"

Echidna was stunned for a moment.

After taking control of this body, she didn't remember to check her physical condition.

However, Echidna was unaware that after she completely transferred her soul to the clone, her physical body also underwent changes.

Her hair, which should have been a pale purple, had turned Echidna's usual pale white, and her pupils had become pitch black.

This is why even someone as mentally challenged as Aqua could see through her true identity at a glance.

When the soul is powerful enough, even the physical body will change accordingly.

This was originally an impossible thing....

"Dona Dona, you didn't even know something like this? That's hilarious! No wonder you're called a useless witch~"

Daphne's mocking voice rang in Echidna's ears.

What Echidna saw was the heartless mockery of Kazuma Sato and Aqua.

"A useless witch is a useless witch!"

"Stop laughing..."

"hahahahahahahaha!"

"Stop laughing!"

Echidna could hear more than just the laughter of the two people in front of her.

In her mind, the other witch souls were laughing wildly.

Even the usually quiet and lazy witch Sekhmet was willing to spare some energy to laugh.

I cannot accept their teeth and mouth!

"You, you! I am Echidna, the Witch of Greed!"

Echidna was already furious, and the witch aura she had carefully concealed instantly spread out.

This is the miasma of a witch, and the miasma on Echidna, the Witch of Greed, is terrifyingly terrifying.

Simply releasing it can cause ordinary people to die a painful death.

"Oh, right, Echidna, you want to be resurrected, right? But your soul is currently trapped in this body, so there's no way to resurrect you. Let me release your soul for you—"

"No need, thank you Lady Aqua! I appreciate your kindness!"

Before Aqua could finish speaking, Echidna suddenly knelt on the ground, the witch's miasma vanished instantly, and her eyes became clear.

She had already understood the meaning of Aqua's words.

Letting your soul be released... isn't that just killing yourself again?

Echidna had finally regained her physical body, and she didn't want to die again.

Moreover... she wasn't sure what methods Aqua would use or what the consequences would be.

"Huh? Didn't you want to be resurrected?"

"Well... for now, given the current situation, this is acceptable..."

Echidna gave an awkward smile.

"Teacher...no, you are not my teacher, at least not entirely."

Just then, Roswaal walked up to Echidna.

Even though their appearances were completely different, Roswaal could still sense the familiar aura emanating from the other person.

However, Roswaal also knew that the person in front of him was not the real Echidna.

The only one he truly acknowledged was the complete Echidna.

"Lord Kazuma, what should we do after the Sanctuary is established?"

Just then, Otto, Garfield, and the others came over and asked.

Now that the Sanctuary has been liberated, what to do with the villagers inside is also a problem.

"After all, the barrier of the Sanctuary has been broken..."

Garfield looked into the distance with some concern.

Things took a turn for the better than he had imagined.

Garfield was afraid of the outside world and was unwilling to leave the Sanctuary.

"It doesn't matter."

Kazuma Sato shrugged.

"Those who want to stay can stay, and those who want to leave can leave. It's that simple."

"However, without that barrier, people from the outside can freely enter the Holy Domain..."

"You can come and go as you please, right? The barrier affects that half-health thing, right? It's just a little hard to find at first."

"But....."

"Garfield, you keep saying 'but, but,' are you afraid of the outside world?"

Aqua, standing to the side, grinned mischievously, speaking to the other person as if teasing a child.

"I, I, I'm not afraid at all! Besides, my name isn't Garfield! It's Garfield Cat!"

Garfield immediately shouted, but his initial stuttering betrayed his fear.

Kazuma Sato clearly noticed the change in Garfield's expression, and as if he had thought of something, he turned to Echidna and said:

"Did Garfield participate in trials before? Is his fear of the outside world because of those trials?"

“That’s right.”

Echidna nodded affirmatively and then recounted the details of Garfield's previous trial.

Garfield saw his mother die in the outside world.

This is why he fears the outside world.

At that moment, Kazuma Sato realized the blind spot.

"Wait a minute, that useless witch."

"My name is Echidna!"

"Oh, useless Echidna."

“…”

“Your trial is based on the person’s memories, right? But judging from what Garfield and the others said, he should have never left the barrier. So how could he have the memory of his mother dying in an accident outside?”

"..."

Echidna turned her head to look to the side, feeling a little guilty.

"What, what?!"

Garfield looked at the two of them with a puzzled expression, then as if he had just realized something, he rushed straight to Echidna.

"Useless Dona, you weren't lying before, were you?"

"I... I didn't say that the trial was definitely real!"

"Could it be Emilia's...?"

"Amelia is real!"

Before Echidna could finish speaking, Garfield immediately pressed her for an answer:

"So, Mom, Mom, she's alright?!"

"Something did happen, but she definitely didn't die."

Echidna was already drenched in sweat.

She had deliberately shown Garfield false fantasies in order to influence his personality and turn him into her pawn.

According to the original plan, Garfield was an important part of Echidna's resurrection plan.

However, she never expected things to turn out this way...

When Garfield realized he had been deceived, his first feeling was joy, knowing that his mother was still alive.

But soon, doubts filled his mind.

Why didn't Mom come back?

The final emotion is anger.

Echidna lied to herself!

"Damn it! I'll—"

"Garfield, don't let your emotions get the better of you!"

Just as Garfield was about to beat Echidna up, Kazuma Sato gently placed his hand on Garfield's shoulder.

"Kazuma-sama..."

“Since your mother is still alive, there must be some reason why she can’t come back. You can go out into the world to find her.”

Kazuma Sato wore an extremely serious expression.

"Lord Kazuma... I understand..."

After hesitating for a moment, Garfield nodded.

He deeply respected Kazuma Sato, so he felt that what the other man said made a lot of sense.

Given Sato Kazuma's strength, he could have stopped him using more direct methods.

But he had only placed his hand lightly on his shoulder, as if he trusted him completely and knew that he would never throw a punch.

In fact, Sato Kazuma had just tried his best to stop Garfield's attack.

Echidna is of great value to him!

However, his strength seemed insignificant in Garfield's eyes.

"I thought you, Kazuma, were just using Echidna to satisfy your perverted desires."

"That's what Aqua said from the side."

These words were precisely Sato Kazuma's true purpose.

"Say what? What are you saying! On one hand, I'm doing this to prevent Garfield from going astray. On the other hand, I have other things I need Echidna to do!"

Kazuma Sato gave an awkward smile.
