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

"Since it is Lord Subaru's wish, then of course we can grant it. Ram and Rem will show you around the mansion later. Lady Aqua, Lord Kazuma, is there anything you two would like?"

Roswaal shifted his gaze to Aqua and Kazuma Sato.

He was very curious about what Aqua and Kazuma Sato really wanted.

After Roswaal asked the question, Aqua wore an extremely serious expression:

"I don't know how far you, Roswaal, are capable of."

"As long as it is within my power as the chief court mage and border marquis of Lugnica, I will do my best to fulfill your request."

Do you have any alcohol?

"liquor?"

A rare look of surprise appeared on Roswaal's face.

Aqua's serious expression just now made Roswaal think that she would propose a very harsh condition.

But since she asked if we had any wine?

Just alcohol?

Is there some hidden meaning behind her words?

Is this a test?

Roswaal frowned, trying to figure out the possible meaning behind Aqua's words, but he also knew that it would be impolite to remain silent for too long, so he immediately smiled and said:

"Yes, of course, but I don't know what kind you want, Lady Aqua."

"Then give me a little of everything!"

. . . . . .

Before long, Rem and Ram arrived at the restaurant with all sorts of bottles of liquor.

"Lady Aqua, would you like to drink first—"

"Just give it to me!"

Only children make choices; Aqua wants it all.

Her previous air of sophistication vanished. Aqua picked up a bottle of wine, activated her Goddess Power, controlled the liquid inside to open the cap, and then poured the wine directly into her mouth.

"Aqua drinks with such a bold and unrestrained style..."

Natsuki Subaru looked at Aqua somewhat bewildered, then turned to look at Sato Kazuma, whose face showed an expression that seemed to carry a hint of resentment.

"Is Kazuma complaining that Aqua's demands for a return are too ordinary?"

What he didn't know was that what Sato Kazuma cared about was not this at all.

"That 'Goddess of Waste' used to purify surrounding liquids into water, but that ability doesn't work when she's drinking, right?"

Kazuma Sato stared intently at Aqua, but when he saw the dazzling array of glass bottles on the table, he couldn't help but feel a little tempted.

Since it's another world, we really should enjoy it to the fullest!

"Subaru, come here and help me open this bottle."

"Huh? Why me?"

"Now you're a servant, right? Isn't this what you should do as a servant? I'm a distinguished guest here."

“…”

For a moment, Natsuki Subaru was unable to refute the other party.

She chose to become a maid, but felt like she was taken advantage of by Kazuma Sato?

Just as Subaru Natsuki was pondering how to refuse Kazuma Sato, he overheard Ram and Rem whispering loudly beside him.

"This guest said he wanted to be a maid, but it seems like he hasn't made any preparations."

"His name is Barus, right? He doesn't even know how to open a bottle of wine properly."

"Hey, hey, hey, big sister, it seems like my name has turned into some kind of terrifying curse..."

Natsuki Subaru sighed helplessly. After all, he had chosen to join the mansion, so he could only step forward to help Sato Kazuma open the bottle and pour the crystal-clear liquid into his glass.

"You pour wine perfectly, Servant Subaru!"

"You can also remain silent, thank you."

Kazuma Sato poured the sake into his mouth, and the icy and spicy sensation instantly filled his mouth, sweeping away all the fatigue of the day.

"Ah-cool!"

This is another world, so we should enjoy it to the fullest!

"Is this stuff really that good?"

At the opposite end of the table, Felt looked at Kazuma Sato with curiosity, also curious about the taste of the sake.

But just as she poured the drink into her glass, the glass in front of her vanished in the next second.

"Little girls aren't allowed to drink alcohol!"

With a speed that exceeded Felt's expectations, Kazuma Sato snatched the wine glass away.

"Huh? Why can't I drink!"

"You're not old enough to drink yet!"

"I'm an adult now!"

"Don't say things like that, little girl!"

These words only fueled Felt's rebellious spirit, and she immediately stepped forward to snatch the wine glass. However, Sato Kazuma held Felt's head with one hand, and while Felt's two hands waved wildly in the air, she couldn't reach the wine glass due to the size difference between them.

In those few seconds, Kazuma Sato had already drunk the entire contents of Felt's glass.

"awesome!"

"I will never let you get away with this, Kazuma Sato! I'm going to drink it!"

"I'll activate my thieving ability the moment you pour me a drink! Don't blame me if I steal your panties~"

"You bastard! I'm going to kill you!"

Meanwhile, Emilia looked at the crystal-clear liquid in front of her and couldn't help but swallow.

She had never drunk alcohol before and didn't know what it tasted like.

However, seeing the blissful expressions on Aqua and Kazuma's faces, she couldn't help but become curious. She picked up the wine glass beside her and took a small sip—

The next instant, Emilia's face turned bright red, and her body began to sway.

Chapter 41: Exterminating Monsters? What does that have to do with me!

"Amelia, do you know how to play rock-paper-scissors?"

"Rock-paper-scissors, what's that?"

"Just follow my movements!"

At this moment, Aqua and Emilia, each holding a bottle of wine, were playing a drinking game in the middle of the restaurant.

Subaru Natsuki, standing nearby, was speechless at the scene before him.

Why...?

Even Emilia's art style has been changed?

Emilia, who is usually so gentle and elegant, seems to have gotten a little closer to that creature named Aqua after drinking.

They had previously said they wouldn't form an alliance for the time being, but after drinking together, they felt like they had known each other for a long time and immediately became sworn brothers.

My life in another world shouldn't be like this...

Meanwhile, on the other side, Kazuma Sato and Felt were still fighting over drinking—or rather, Kazuma Sato was being beaten up unilaterally.

However, Ferut has indeed not had the chance to drink even a small sip so far.

These guys.....

Natsuki Subaru sighed somewhat helplessly.

"Betty, it's unusual for you to stay here for so long. Is it because the manor hasn't been this lively in a long time?"

In a corner of the restaurant, Roswaal smiled as he looked at Beatrice beside him.

"Betty doesn't like this kind of scene at all. She's just worried that these idiots will do something outrageous again."

Beatrice crossed her arms and said in an indifferent tone.

"However, Betty, I feel that you seem to be paying much more attention to these guests than before. Is it because..."

"Have you lost your mind too, Roswaal? Betty's tired. You're the ones who will clean up this mess."

Beatrice snorted, then turned and left.

"Emilia, let me show you my latest skill! I call it 'Flowers, Birds, Wind, and Moon'!"

"Wow, that's amazing! No wonder you're the goddess of banquets!"

"I am the goddess of water!"

Roswaal's gaze fell on Aqua and Emilia. Aqua had just pulled out two fans from somewhere, which could spray small water droplets.

"What incredible power! I doubt Aqua is inferior to me in magical skill."

Roswaal narrowed his eyes slightly and murmured softly.

Although Aqua's abilities seemed useless, Roswaal believed that to achieve this level of control, she must have had incredibly precise control over mana.

If she can use magic so skillfully in everyday life, she would probably display even more terrifying strength in battle.

Furthermore, Roswaal had also heard that Aqua experienced unusual phenomena after coming into contact with the Royal Selection Crest.

"Aqua is a force to be reckoned with. Although her words and actions are somewhat puzzling, perhaps it's all intentional, designed to lower others' guard against her... Such cunning makes her a remarkable person. So, is she an ally or an obstacle for us?"

Roswaal muttered to himself.

. . . . . .

The next morning, Kazuma Sato woke up from his dream with a splitting headache from the hangover.

"It feels like I had a nightmare... I dreamt that I met a chuunibyou (delusional) mage and a masochistic female knight... Thankfully it was just a dream."

Kazuma Sato had just gotten out of bed when he heard hurried footsteps outside.

Aqua rushed in at lightning speed, and said to Kazuma Sato with an eager expression:

"Kazuma, let's go! Let's set off!"

"Wait, wait, where are we going?"

"Let's do what we, as adventurers, should do!"

Aqua seemed full of energy.

"what?"

“I spoke with Roswaal before, and there are many magical beasts in the forests of his territory! As a goddess, I can't just stand by and do nothing about those magical beasts!”

"I see."

Kazuma Sato nodded.

"Then let's get going!"

Aqua then prepared to leave the mansion with Kazuma Sato. She stepped out of the room first, with Kazuma Sato following behind her.

The next second, Kazuma Sato closed the door.

"I'm not going to go hunting monsters or anything like that, it's too much trouble."

Kazuma Sato scurried back into his blankets with lightning speed.

He's now living a life where he can eat and drink for free, so what does fighting monsters have to do with him?

Isn't it great to stay home, eat, drink, and have fun?

Sato Kazuma didn't want to do these troublesome things.
