"Skeleton Geuse, since you don't have your current memories, you probably don't know what your backup bodies look like, right?"
Aqua said to Geuse very seriously.
"I, that, uh..... that's right....."
Geuse sighed and nodded. He didn't want to argue about his name anymore.
"If we can't be sure what the backup bodies look like, you might end up with an uglier or more ridiculous body!"
Aqua said to this person.
"That makes sense!"
Natsuki Subaru nodded in agreement.
"Indeed."
Geuse thought for a while and then agreed.
"Hey, hey, hey, what are you guys agreeing to?! You've missed the point from the start! Our main concern right now isn't Geuse' body, it's figuring out how to get out of here safely!"
Satou Kazuma looked at the people in front of him like they were idiots.
Aqua's brain was always like this, so Satou Kazuma didn't expect much from her.
But this guy.....
He led Natsuki Subaru astray too.
Even Geuse, who could barely be considered normal after recovering, was influenced.
"Our top priority right now is to get out of here safely. Even if Geuse can switch to another body, the cult members will be suspicious when they see their Archbishop of Sloth changing bodies!"
Satou Kazuma explained immediately.
"Now that you mention it, that's true."
Natsuki Subaru nodded.
"Seriously.... what are you guys talking about from beginning to end?"
Beatrice sighed at the people in front of her, like a worried parent.
The easiest way would be for Beatrice to use magic to teleport them back.
However, there were too many people present, and Beatrice didn't have enough mana stored in her body, so she couldn't do it.
"If we just take everyone's intestines out..."
"Elsa, we're not using that method."
"What did she just say?"
The corner of Geuse' mouth twitched slightly.
Did he hear wrong?
Or did Elsa really say she was going to take out other people's intestines?
"Sigh."
Satou Kazuma turned his head and looked at Aqua not far away.
"Looks like we can only use that method."
.....
A few minutes later, Satou Kazuma and the others walked out of the room.
"Archbishop of Sloth?"
Several Witch Cult members immediately stepped forward, waiting for the Archbishop of Sloth's orders.
But they found that 'Petelgeuse' was actually being carried by Satou Kazuma and Natsuki Subaru, like a corpse.
"What happened?!"
"My beloved followers! I'm here!"
And at this moment, Petelgeuse's incomparably crazy voice rang out from the side.
The source of the voice—
Without a doubt, it was Aqua.
But now Aqua was not only imitating Petelgeuse's voice, but also imitating her movements and expressions.
"You're all so diligent! But thanks to Pride, I got a brand new body, diligence, diligence, diligence! This body is absolutely perfect, like a goddess, not only is her face beautiful, but her skin is also flawless, and her breasts are real!"
Aqua said with a mad laugh, and then twisted her neck with all her might.
This was Satou Kazuma's plan.
Since Aqua could imitate voices, then let her imitate everything, imitate Petelgeuse completely!
Satou Kazuma had thought about having Geuse walk in front, and then having Aqua do the voice acting behind him.
But it would be easy to be discovered if the other Witch Cult members got too close, and lip-syncing would also be a hassle.
Natsuki Subaru's mention of switching bodies also gave Satou Kazuma an idea.
In that case, why not just have Aqua play Petelgeuse completely?!
Aqua wanted to imitate him anyway, so it was a win-win situation.
However, Satou Kazuma didn't expect that after he proposed this plan, Aqua immediately objected.
"How could this goddess, who is so beautiful, make those kinds of expressions! I'll definitely be found out!"
That was Aqua's reply at the time.
But that was just talk. Aqua was already completely enjoying herself after walking out of the room.
"This body is really great! Ahhhhhhhhh! Ouch, ouch, ouch!"
Just as Aqua was frantically praising herself, Satou Kazuma, who was carrying Geuse behind her, couldn't stand it anymore. He freed one hand and pinched her waist hard.
"Archbishop of Sloth?"
"This, this is the feeling of being alive!!!"
Aqua immediately re-entered her role. Not only did she twist her neck to the left, but then she suddenly folded it to the right. She even imitated Petelgeuse's earlier action of biting her fingers:
"My brain is shaking, my brain is shaking!"
Aqua shouted.
She was also a little nervous inside, worried about being discovered.
After all, even if it was imitation, it was really difficult for a goddess like herself to imitate such a guy, right?
"Oh, I understand, Archbishop of Sloth."
The Witch Cult member in front of her nodded at Aqua without the slightest doubt.
"?"
Although she successfully deceived them.
But why does she feel a little uncomfortable in her heart?
Geuse, who was pretending to be dead with his eyes closed, was shocked inside.
Was I, was I really that disgusting when I spoke earlier?
This isn't a normal person at all, is it?
Thinking of this, Geuse wanted to disappear from this world.
His body couldn't help but twitch slightly.
Several Witch Cult members subconsciously looked at Geuse.
"Am I seeing things? Why do I feel like the body you switched out of, Archbishop of Sloth, moved a little?"
"It must be because you've all been working too hard on the trials lately! You're all so diligent!"
"Archbishop of Sloth, then do we not need this body anymore? Should we throw it away for you!"
"No, no, no! You're all so diligent! But I still have a use for this ugly and deformed body. It's a trial, an important part of the trial!!"
Aqua said immediately.
"Understood, Archbishop of Sloth. What's our next plan then? Should the trial begin?"
"The trial, the trial is over!"
Aqua said immediately.
"The trial is over?"
"That's right, this is the guidance the witch gave me!!! It must be because this container isn't qualified enough. In that case, let's not waste any time!"
"Didn't Archbishop of Sloth just say that that body was useful for the trial?"
"This, this, this is another trial! If you can't understand it, you're too slothful! All of this is the witch's instruction! Our mission here is over! You guys can go back later, just leave this place to us!"
Aqua said.
"Yes, Archbishop of Sloth!"
Soon, these Witch Cult members had left one after another.
"Well done, goddess of talent! If you ever hold an imitation show in the future, I'll definitely watch it!"
Satou Kazuma said to Aqua with a smile.
"I don't know why, but I'm not happy at all listening to your praise."
Aqua looked completely lifeless.
And Geuse said with a face of sorrow:
"Um, was I really like that with my words and actions earlier?"
Although he found it hard to believe, after seeing the Witch Cult members' lack of reaction just now, Geuse realized this reality.
It wasn't just Aqua's heart that was broken, it was also Geuse'.
"That's right."
"I'm really sorry....."
"Let's get out of here quickly and see if we can find a new body for you."
"Thank you so much!"
.....
After a period of trouble, Satou Kazuma and the others successfully escaped from the Witch Cult's hideout in a legitimate way.
"We actually, actually managed to get through this crisis?"
Natsuki Subaru turned his head in disbelief and looked at the cave behind him.
This time, they got through the crisis without bloodshed.
These Witch Cult members were very respectful to the archbishops, and obeyed their orders without question. After they left, these Witch Cult members also prepared to withdraw.
Fortunately, only one Archbishop of Sloth showed up this time.
If there were other archbishops, it would be troublesome.
"Everyone, thank you so much! I don't know how to repay this kindness!"
Geuse bowed deeply to everyone present, and didn't stand up for more than ten seconds.
When he was leaving just now, Geuse also found a fingertip and switched his body.
At least now he has the appearance of an ordinary person.
"I know how to repay it!"
At this moment, Aqua said with a smile.
"What is it? As long as it's something I can do, I will definitely Aqua-sama do it."
Geuse said to Aqua very seriously.
He was able to regain his senses thanks to Aqua's help, so no matter what conditions Aqua proposed, he would definitely fulfill them.
"You were an Archbishop before, right? Like a High Priest? Were you responsible for spreading the word and things like that?"
"Probably, when I was awake before, I basically did related things."
"In that case, join my Axis Sect!"
Aqua patted her chest and said,
"Our Axis Sect is short on manpower right now. As long as you join, you can become a High Priest!"
"Useless goddess, your statement is like a scam advertisement on TV!"
"I'm not a scam!"
"Axis Sect? What is that? I'm sorry, I've been out of touch with this world for too long, and I don't know many things."
Geuse shook his head.
"This is my sect! The people inside are kind and speak nicely. I like my sect so much! Now is the best time to join! We also give out figures and snacks!"
Aqua said very seriously, while handing the application form she carried with her to the other party.
"You were already prepared to recruit people at any time, right?"
"Of course, did you forget why I came here last time?"
In the previous loop, Aqua was preparing to find an opportunity to dig up some believers from the Witch Cult.
But she was chased and killed later.
"Axis Sect....."
Geuse' eyes gradually became deep.
He was a Witch Cult member, so he wouldn't defect casually.
But Geuse also knew very well that the current Witch Cult was completely different from the sect he used to know.
These people now are just a group of terrorists who are committing evil in the name of the witch.
There's no need for him to stay there anymore.
Although Geuse didn't spend much time with Aqua and Satou Kazuma, he felt that the two of them weren't bad people.
And Satou Kazuma was even Beatrice's contractor.
"But Geuse, I have to remind you in advance. I've already said before that this Aqua, and Emilia, who you know, although they are currently on good terms, will be competing rivals in the royal selection in the future."
At this moment, Satou Kazuma said to Geuse with a rare serious expression,
"So I think you shouldn't rush to sign. Didn't you say you wanted to see Emilia? Make a choice after you see her."
Beatrice turned her head slightly and looked at Satou Kazuma, but didn't say anything.
"Hey, Emilia and I are drinking buddies!"
"Drinking buddies? Emilia has learned to drink?!?!?!"
Geuse said excitedly, but quickly calmed down, and a gratified smile appeared on his face instead,
"In that case, so much time has passed. It's only natural that Emilia has grown up. Thank you very much, Kazuma-sama, for your reminder. Aqua-sama, if possible, can you let me see Emilia first?"
"Okay, okay! Who told this goddess to be beautiful and kind!"
Soon Satou Kazuma and the others had returned to the mansion.
At this time, Beatrice slowly reached out and held Satou Kazuma's hand.
"Hey, are you trying to frame me as a ***?"
"BaKazuma, Betty thanks you for Geuse."
Beatrice raised her head and showed Satou Kazuma a smile. Her butterfly-like eyes seemed to be flashing something.
"Thank me for what?"
Satou Kazuma asked.
"Although you didn't say it, Betty could also hear from their previous words that the purpose of the Witch Cult coming here this time is not just to cause destruction, but Emilia, right? This is what they call the trial, which is definitely more than just being implicated. If Geuse knew, he probably wouldn't forgive himself for the rest of his life."
"What, I don't know anything about these things."
Satou Kazuma replied immediately.
"BaKazuma."
Beatrice held Satou Kazuma's hand, and seemed to squeeze it harder.
"Betty chose you, and it was the right choice after all."
Her voice was so soft that only she could hear it.
"I'm warning you, let go quickly, I don't want to be misunderstood as a lolicon!"
"BaKazuma!"
