"Aqua... Aqua-sama, I have something I want to talk to you about alone."
Satou Kazuma walked up to Aqua and said the word "Sama" with great difficulty.
"Okay, you go be busy over there."
Aqua raised her head, waved her hand, and had completely taken on the role.
"As you wish, Aqua-sama!"
Gaston nodded and then left the room.
Satou Kazuma looked around to make sure no one else could hear him, then turned to look at Aqua:
"Hey, useless goddess, now that we have these people, has your goddess power come back at all?"
"It really has recovered quite a bit!"
Aqua said with a proud look on her face.
"Then can you now do a lot of things you couldn't do before!"
Satou Kazuma's eyes widened, with a hint of expectation in his eyes.
If Aqua could regain her power, then they could live better in this world in the future!
"Of course! Watch carefully!"
Aqua said with a smile, and then handed the water glass in her hand to Satou Kazuma.
The hot water in the glass gradually rippled, and then sprayed out like a miniature fountain.
"How is it! I'm amazing, right! You should praise me as the goddess of water!"
Aqua raised her chest with immense pride.
Satou Kazuma tilted his head slightly, his mouth opening and closing, wanting to say something but unable to say it.
"Hurry up and praise me, Kazuma!"
"This... is it useful for anything?"
"It can be used for performances at parties!"
"?"
Satou Kazuma reached out and slapped himself in the face.
Is this guy in front of me really useful?
Self-illuminating, artificial fountains...
This guy isn't the goddess of water, she's the goddess of parties, right?
No, not a goddess.
She's a female idiot.
He sat down next to Aqua with some helplessness, slumped in the chair.
Satou Kazuma sighed, then took out his Adventurer Card, which showed that he could learn another skill.
[Skill Learned: Taunt, a warrior-type skill that can transfer the enemy's hate value to oneself]
"How did I get a warrior skill? Is it because I participated in a battle before, or is it because I died in various bizarre accidents?"
Satou Kazuma said to himself with some helplessness, then put away the Adventurer Card.
Three skills, none of which can improve my fighting ability.
But it's better than nothing.
Just then, Rom came over from the side:
"Hey, little brother, are you going to have enemies coming over later?"
"That's right, the person who hired you to steal is a powerful opponent, so we have to catch her by surprise."
Satou Kazuma said, while also complaining in his heart that Natsuki Subaru was so slow, he still hadn't returned.
But on second thought, this was reasonable, after all, Natsuki Subaru was a time traveler like him, with no identity in this world, and the guards might not act because something hasn't happened yet.
Now Satou Kazuma has to act with the worst-case scenario in mind.
"So what's our plan?"
Rom asked curiously.
"Later, we'll pretend to be your companions. After Elsa comes, we'll also pretend that nothing happened and cooperate with her in the transaction."
Satou Kazuma's expression gradually became serious,
"Then you guys take the opportunity to prepare a drink for her, and fill it with poison!"
Because he had been killed by a trap after returning once, Satou Kazuma changed his mind and had the trio fill it in.
But he also had the three set up a few more traps nearby, just as a form of insurance.
Of course, Satou Kazuma specifically had them tell him exactly where the traps were located.
"We don't have poison here, we do honest business! We only have a little anesthetic!"
Rom said in a serious tone.
Satou Kazuma was too lazy to complain about the word "honest business" and continued:
"Anesthetic or something is fine, as long as we don't show any flaws, the other party shouldn't be suspicious."
When they first met Elsa, she initially came here as an ordinary client, communicated with Rom and others several times, and even drank the milk they prepared.
So Satou Kazuma planned to make a fuss about this.
After all, poisoning is simpler and more direct than other methods.
"As long as we can get her to drink it, we'll win."
After Satou Kazuma said this, he seemed to realize something, and then added,
"Your anesthetic shouldn't have any problems like being expired or spoiled, right?"
Satou Kazuma had had enough of unexpected situations, so this time he wanted to be perfect in every aspect.
"That definitely won't... well, it's hard to say, after all, we haven't used it all the time."
"Then we have to try it first. Rom, please add some anesthetic to the milk."
"Okay."
Rom nodded, then poured a glass of milk and added an appropriate amount of anesthetic to it.
"This should be enough."
"Is that enough? Add some more!"
Satou Kazuma said as he added a lot of anesthetic to the milk.
Regarding poisoning, Satou Kazuma has one idea.
If you think it's just right, then it's too little.
If you think it's too much, then it's just right.
After Satou Kazuma added a lot of anesthetic, he finally nodded in satisfaction.
But...
The color of the milk seemed a little off, too cloudy.
This isn't milk with anesthetic added.
It's a little bit of milk added to the anesthetic.
"But how are you going to test it?"
Just as Rom was puzzled, Satou Kazuma shouted to the outside:
"Gaston, come here for a second!"
"What is it, Kazuma-sama!"
The tall, seemingly honest and simple Gaston quickly came to Satou Kazuma's side.
"You must be tired from massaging that useless - Aqua-sama's shoulders, this glass of milk is as a reward!"
"This is what I should do, but Lady Kazuma, is this really milk? The color doesn't look right."
Gaston asked suspiciously.
"This is the newest fruit flavor, it's normal for the color to be wrong."
"Oh, I see! Thank you, Kazuma-sama!"
After saying that, Gaston drank the milk in one gulp.
"The taste feels a bit str-"
Before Gaston could finish speaking, he fell straight to the ground.
"It's good to be young, falling asleep as soon as your head hits the pillow."
Satou Kazuma looked at Gaston, who had fainted on the ground, and nodded in satisfaction.
Rom next to him had a dumbfounded expression.
"Huh?"
