"Aqua-sama, I heard that you are also the fifth candidate chosen by the dragon, right?"
On the other side of the dining table, Roswaal looked at Aqua with great interest.
At this moment, Aqua was gobbling down food, with no dignity of a goddess at all, her cheeks were stuffed full.
After hearing Roswaal's words, she quickly swallowed all the food in her cheeks.
"Huh?"
Aqua was slightly stunned, but quickly remembered her previous conversation with Satou Kazuma.
"Oh, oh, oh, that's right, that's right! As a goddess, I am the fifth candidate chosen by the dragon."
As she spoke, Aqua proudly puffed out her chest and placed her hand on it.
"Always calling herself a goddess, Aqua-sama is really a very special person."
Roswaal crossed his fingers and placed them in front of him, saying with a smile,
"I heard Felt say that Aqua-sama has the ability to bring people back to life, is that true?"
"For me, that's a piece of cake!"
Aqua said without hesitation.
For her as a goddess, resurrecting the dead should be a very easy thing.
However, she has not fully recovered her goddess powers yet, so she can't do it for the time being.
Resurrecting Satou Kazuma was just exploiting loopholes in the divine realm's rules and Eris' weakness.
Hearing Aqua's words, the corners of Roswaal's mouth seemed to rise a little more.
"That's really amazing, if there's a chance, I'd like to see it with my own eyes—"
"Aqua-sama's abilities can't be used casually, and Aqua-sama generally won't use this ability for the sake of the world's balance of life and death."
At this time, Satou Kazuma interrupted Roswaal's words and said.
On the one hand, he always felt that Roswaal seemed to be planning something, especially fixated on Aqua's resurrection ability.
On the other hand, Aqua was completely bluffing right now.
She can't even use healing magic well, let alone resurrection magic.
'If I get exposed, I'm done for!'
Now I can only pretend and find an excuse to get by.
While speaking, Satou Kazuma quietly activated his enemy detection ability, but he didn't sense any hostility.
At least it proves that there is no dangerous presence in the mansion.
While speaking, Satou Kazuma winked at Aqua, hinting that she should be careful with her words.
Aqua noticed Satou Kazuma's gaze.
'Kazuma is praising my statement, that it's good! It seems that I should maintain the same superior attitude as before!'
She completely misunderstood the meaning!
"That's right, my abilities can't be used at will."
Aqua deliberately raised her chin and answered in a manner that she thought was very arrogant.
"Well... that's certainly the case."
Roswaal nodded,
"Although you are all candidates, I have a suggestion, I don't know if Emilia-sama and Aqua-sama are willing to accept it."
"Roswaal, what do you have in mind?"
In contrast to Aqua, Emilia was very dignified and elegant, and her tone was also very gentle.
"I think we can form an alliance."
Roswaal said with a smile, his eyes scanning over the two candidates in front of him.
Hearing Roswaal's words, Satou Kazuma's eyebrows twitched slightly.
The other party's proposal of alliance at this time was a little too suspicious.
Alliances are formed when both parties can provide value to each other, but Satou Kazuma is very clear that he and Aqua have not yet demonstrated relevant abilities.
Although Roswaal doesn't seem to have any hostility towards them at the moment, Satou Kazuma always feels that the other party seems to be plotting something.
What's more, Aqua's identity is disguised, and if they form an alliance directly, there will inevitably be very close interactions between the two parties, which will also increase the risk of Aqua's identity being exposed.
Satou Kazuma just wants to take advantage of Aqua's identity to eat, drink, and be merry for a while.
And the most, most, most important thing is—
No matter how you look at this guy, he looks like a pervert.
In anime or games, generally guys with clown makeup and weird talking style are definitely not good people, right?
I hope Aqua doesn't get carried away and agree to the alliance directly.
Just as Satou Kazuma was about to speak to stop her, Aqua said first:
"There's no need to talk about such things yet."
She thought that answering this way would make her seem more impressive, rejecting the other party with the attitude of a superior!
Although Aqua completely misunderstood Satou Kazuma's hint, the effect was indeed not much different.
'Aqua... has she grown up?'
While muttering to himself in his heart, Satou Kazuma's eyes couldn't help but get a little wet.
"Hey, hey, why are you suddenly crying, how disgusting!"
Beatrice looked at Satou Kazuma with a disgusted expression.
"It's nothing, it's just a feeling similar to an old father looking at his idiot daughter whose intelligence has finally returned to a normal level."
Satou Kazuma shook his head, adjusted his emotions in half a second, and then said to Roswaal,
"Roswaal-sama, I think it's too early to talk about an alliance, after all, we don't know each other well enough yet."
"Well, I think what Kazuma-sama said makes sense, and I also very much respect your choice, I hope we can get to know each other better in the future!"
Emilia replied with a genuine smile on her face.
"If that's the case, let's put the alliance aside for now, let's continue the topic we haven't finished discussing, everyone helped Emilia-sama find the badge, as her supporter, I must express my gratitude, if you have any wishes, I will do my best to fulfill them!"
Roswaal said, raising his hands high.
"If that's the case, I only have one wish!"
The first to speak was Natsuki Subaru.
His face had an eager expression, and Satou Kazuma and Aqua were also a little curious about Natsuki Subaru's answer.
"Hire me to work at the mansion!"
"..."
A strange silence instantly spread across the dining table, Satou Kazuma and Aqua looked at Natsuki Subaru with infinite sympathy at the same time with utmost understanding.
No ambition.
Really no ambition.
Only at this moment, did these two reach a meeting of minds.
"Hey, hey, why are you two looking at me with such contempt?"
"Nothing."
"Nothing."
