Chapter 23 - Chapter 23: That's right, this is the power of a candidate!

At this moment, Eris felt a little helpless inside.

In the realm of gods, she could see the experiences of Satou Kazuma and Aqua in another world.

But...

The things that happened to them were a bit too outrageous.

Killed by enemies, having their hearts exploded by strange beings, being killed by traps set by their own people...

It seemed too awful.

Even though that world's time was constantly being reset, Satou Kazuma and his group had only been there for a total of no more than forty-eight hours.

And Satou Kazuma had already returned to the realm of gods more than ten times because of death.

But Eris was also very curious in her heart.

What exactly is going on with this other world?

Why are there travelers who are not under the jurisdiction of their realm of gods?

And why is the timeline constantly being reset?

A series of questions flooded into Eris's mind.

"Um, should I say long time no see? Eris."

Satou Kazuma sat in front of Eris, scratching the back of his head.

"Sigh."

Eris sighed,

"I'll send you back right away... It's been a tough journey."

She gently waved her arm, and that purple light instantly submerged Satou Kazuma.

...

"Huh?"

Felt looked blankly at Satou Kazuma, who had just been dragged out of the trap. His body was completely pierced by the barbs inside the trap, like a sponge.

And the trio of thugs who came after hearing the news also looked at each other for a few seconds before they broke the somewhat suffocating silence.

"Why are you digging a trap in this place?"

"Didn't Kazuma-sama say to put the trap on the path to get here? So I prepared ahead of time."

"Should we three be preparing to run away..."

The three of them had basically decided that Satou Kazuma and Aqua's identities were not simple.

Killing Satou Kazuma would probably be a capital offense for them.

What they could do now was to run away quickly.

But this person called Aqua didn't show any sadness on her face when her confidant died.

"This is the face of the nobility..."

Hambali, one of the trio, muttered softly, his eyes always on Aqua.

"Kazuma, get up!"

At that moment, Aqua kicked Satou Kazuma's body on the ground while speaking.

"She's treating her dead subordinate like that! Let's get out of here now!"

Hambali turned around and said to his companions.

However, what caught his eye was the terrified look on the faces of Rachins and Gaston.

"Hey, hey, hey, what are you two doing?"

Just as Hambali was stunned, a familiar voice came from behind.

"Useless goddess, did you just step on me a few times?"

"Huh?"

Hambali turned his head, and a terrifying scene appeared before him.

Satou Kazuma, who should have died, was now standing up completely unharmed, without a single wound on his body.

As if nothing had happened before.

H, how is that possible?!

He looked like he was definitely dead just now, right?

And next to him, Felt was also shocked by the scene before her.

A dead person... resurrected?!

It was like a dream, filling Felt with a sense of unreality.

"I didn't, don't make false accusations!"

Aqua immediately put her hands on her hips and said.

"Then what about the footprints on my body?"

Satou Kazuma reached out and pointed to the stains on his clothes.

"I, I don't know?"

Aqua pointed at her fingers, pouted, turned her head to look in other directions, looking guilty.

"Those footprints are exactly the same as your shoes, right?"

"Maybe it's a coincidence, haha."

Just as Satou Kazuma grabbed Aqua's collar, Felt, who was confused, stepped forward and asked,

"What exactly is going on? I clearly saw you die just now!"

"Th, this is all because of Aqua-sama's special power!"

Satou Kazuma immediately changed his expression, smiling at Felt. The hand that was originally grabbing Aqua's collar changed its motion to tidy up the other person's clothes and appearance,

"After all, Aqua-sama is the candidate chosen by prophecy! Someone who is likely to become the next king, naturally possesses such extraordinary power!"

Then he turned his head, turned his back to Felt, and stared fiercely at Aqua with an extremely ferocious expression.

Unfair!

Too unfair!

If he could, Satou Kazuma would of course package himself as a candidate.

However, according to Emilia's words, the person chosen could only be female.

And Aqua just happened to choose the skill to make things glow, which should have been useless.

Is this the so-called, a fool has a fool's luck?

Satou Kazuma's heart was really filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred, but since things had come to this, he could only cooperate with Aqua and continue to act.

And next to them, the trio's expressions had changed from shock to awe.

"Aqua-sama, what should we do next!"

...

A few hours later, inside Felt and Rom's residence.

Aqua sat in a chair, looking very comfortable.

She held a cup of hot water in her hand, and Gaston behind her was helping to massage her shoulders.

And Satou Kazuma was holding a short knife next to her, waving it around casually in his hand.

"Um, I say, is all of this really true?"

Rom scratched his head, looking at Aqua with a confused expression.

After Felt returned here, she told Rom everything that had happened before.

Rom had lived for over a hundred years and had never heard of such a thing happening.

"It's absolutely true, I saw it all with my own eyes!"

Felt confirmed again.

"Resurrected completely unharmed..."

Rom murmured in a low voice, his expression becoming a little serious,

"I've seen similar spells before... but the ones resurrected were just soulless puppets..."

Dozens of years ago, Lugunica had experienced a battle between humans and demi-humans, and Rom was one of the leaders of the demi-human side.

He had personally witnessed a spell that could resurrect the dead at that time.

However, the resurrected people were just soulless corpses. They were difficult to even call people, other than to kill.

That was not resurrection, but more like modification.

But this person called Satou Kazuma was a complete person, and very different from the resurrected corpse soldiers.

How was this done?

Does this person called Aqua really possess some kind of extremely special power?

Rom became more and more curious about Aqua's identity.
