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

The witch cultist outside the door immediately responded.

The voice convinced them that the speaker was indeed Petitchius, the Archbishop of Sloth.

As the footsteps of the witch cultists faded into the distance, Sato Kazuma finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The talent of this goddess of talent actually proved effective at crucial moments.

but.....

"Hey, hey, hey, even though you successfully imitated the voice, there's no need to imitate the facial expressions too. And what are you doing twisting your neck over there?"

Kazuma Sato stared speechlessly at Aqua in front of him, who was still trying to mimic Petitchius's expressions and movements.

It's really...unbearable to look at.

"I'm just trying to learn some new skills!"

Aqua pouted as she spoke.

Does it refer to imitation?

"That's right! Maybe there will be a chance to perform an impersonation show at a banquet in the future!"

"..."

Kazuma Sato was not surprised at all by Aqua's answer.

She's still a goddess of talent after all.

Beatrice, on the other hand, looked at Petitchius with some concern and then asked:

"You idiot Kazuma, what's going on here? What happened?"

"The Goddess of Waste said that your friend seemed to be cursed or something, so she purified him. Do you know what happened?"

Betty didn't know either.

Beatrice shook her head.

"So, are we going to cut open his intestines now?"

"No, even though you're called the Intestine Hunter, aren't you a little too obsessed with intestines? Besides, aren't intestines full of... never mind, I'll let you sell grilled sausages when we get back to the capital!"

"Is Kazuma-sama angry? That's wonderful! So wonderful!"

Kazuma Sato rubbed his temples, realizing that bringing Elsa along seemed like a mistake...

However, the opponent was indeed powerful, and this was one of the insurance measures for his operation, leaving Kazuma Sato with no other choice.

"Then what do we do next?"

Just as Subaru Natsuki opened his mouth to ask a question, Petitchius, who was lying on the ground, slowly opened his eyes:

"Ouch, it hurts... My head hurts so much, what, what's going on? Where am I...."

Petitchius touched his head and said.

He wasn't sure if Aqua's abilities would work, and he had already prepared for the worst.

"You, is that you? Jules?"

"You are...Betty?!"

Chapter 82: Regaining Memories, Jules Returns

Beatrice's eyes were already wet. Although the other person's face was unrecognizable, she could tell their identity from the gradually clearing look in their eyes.

Jules is back!

"Betty, it's Betty? What are you doing here? And where is this place?"

Jus reached out and touched his forehead.

"What...what happened...my head hurts so much...so many things...I can't remember..."

Jus felt like his brain was about to crash, as if countless pieces of information were flooding into it.

"Alas, it was this goddess who helped you! You were cursed and your mind was disturbed!"

Aqua walked up to Jus, put her left hand on her hip, and gave herself a thumbs-up with her right hand.

"You should thank me properly! If it weren't for me, you'd still be a crazy person talking with your head tilted to the side!"

"You were just happily imitating it a moment ago."

Kazuma Sato glanced at Aqua, then turned to look at Jus.

He didn't sense any hostility from the other party, and judging from Jules and Beatrice's words, he seemed to have really returned to normal.

However, just to be on the safe side, Kazuma Sato still needed to ask the person in front of him a few questions.

"What's your name? Do you remember?"

“My name is... Jules.”

Do you remember anything?

"I...I'm fighting against someone...I was forced to use the Sloth Factor that the Sage entrusted to me to keep safe...Wait!"

As if remembering something, Juss immediately stood up excitedly.

"Where's Emilia? Where's Fortuna?!"

"Emilia? You knew Emilia before? What exactly are you to her?"

Natsuki Subaru looked at Jus with some surprise.

Back when he was Petritchius, he was already planning to extend his evil clutches to Emilia.

However, the fact that he can still say Emilia's name shows that Jus knew Emilia before.

“I am her…”

For a moment, Juss didn't know how to start, but after thinking for a while, he said...

"I'd say I'm like an elder to Emilia, since I was the one who took care of her before. Are you Emilia's friends?"

"Yes."

"That's wonderful! How is she now? Is everything alright?"

"She's fine."

"That's good."

Jules smiled and nodded, a hint of happiness in his upturned lips.

"What about Fortuna? She's Emilia's little brother, so she's probably always by Emilia's side! Their relationship is so good it's almost enviable."

When Emilia was little, Jus and Fortuna acted as her adoptive parents, staying by her side.

Natsuki Subaru frowned slightly upon hearing the other person's words.

He had never met this so-called Fortuna—

I've never even heard Emilia say that name.

If Emilia really had an aunt named Fortuna, she should have heard of her.

"Wait, wait, what does this Emilia you're talking about look like?"

Subaru asked in confusion, wondering if the other person had mistaken him for someone else and was referring to someone else with the same name.

However, there probably aren't many people in this world named Emilia, right?

"Huh? She's a half-elf, she should be easy to recognize, right? Silver hair, purple eyes, and an innocent and incredibly cute face."

"Then we must be talking about the same person."

"Also, he's about the same height as Betty."

"Etc., etc."

Subaru Natsuki shook his head.

Emilia's figure is considered tall for a girl, unlike Beatrice's childlike appearance.

Could he be talking about Emilia when she was a child?

"Betty, have you heard that Emilia has an aunt?"

Subaru Natsuki turned his head and asked.

"Oh, Betty, do you know Emilia too?"

"Betty hasn't known that little girl for very long. Roswaal brought her back directly. Apart from her brother Parker, Betty has never seen anyone else with her, nor has she ever heard her talk about anything related to her."

Beatrice replied.

"what?"

A look of surprise appeared on Jules' face; he had never expected things to turn out this way.

Fortuna wasn't next to Emilia?

This is impossible.

"My head hurts so much!"

Jus touched his forehead in pain, and his body, which had just stood up from the ground, staggered and almost fell down again.

Beatrice quickly cast a healing spell on him, but it had no effect.

Jus, standing before them, was unharmed.

"These are probably symptoms from the memory recovery!"

Aqua explained from the side,

“There have been similar cases before. Some people were controlled by demons, but after recovering, they forgot many things. Although these memories will gradually return, they will be accompanied by headaches.”

At this moment, more and more incredibly clear memories flooded into Jus's mind.

He desperately tried to recall the last things he remembered.

He's fighting someone...

It was a young girl, wrapped only in a thin white cloth.

However, she always wore a smile, and her deep eyes seemed to be able to see right through people.

That is...

Pandora the Deceiver.

However, Jus only remembered fighting the other party, but he couldn't recall the outcome of the battle.

I can't remember what happened after that.

What happened to Emilia later?

Where did Fortuna go again?

Jus couldn't remember anything.

"I... I'm going back to the Witch Cult right now! I need to find out what happened!"

Despite his physical discomfort, Juss immediately spoke.

"Don't you remember anything that happened recently?"

Just then, Kazuma Sato sat down next to Jus and asked him a question.

"That's right... It feels like I've been through a lot, but I can't remember anything. The last thing I remember is that I fought against Greed, and then the Witch of Illusion, Pandora, appeared... After that, I don't remember anything... Can you tell me what the situation is now?"

"Right now, you're leading members of the Witch Cult, preparing to carry out some terrifying activities."

Kazuma Sato replied expressionlessly.

However, he did not reveal that the other party's target was Emilia.

Judging from his actions just now, Juss seems to really value Emilia.

Saying it outright might be too cruel.

"I...I want to...do this kind of thing?"
