[ Just as Ainz and the others were looking worried about how to deal with Reinhard, Aqua also ran into an old friend of hers in the hallway.
"Chris, why are you here?"
"I'm not too sure either. I was suddenly just thrown in here." Although Chris wasn't sure why she had come here, she still made a point to warn Kazuma.
"Right, right, I have to say this upfront: even if you die in this world, you can't be resurrected, so you guys need to be careful!"
Aqua frowned upon hearing this: "That really troubles me. Honestly, is Eris slacking off somewhere!?" ]
[ .....]
〜Projection of All Worlds〜
"Troubles you, my ass! You mentally retarded goddess who's never revealed a health bar…"
Upon hearing this, everyone was instantly left speechless. A goddess who hadn't suffered so much as a scratch from start to finish was actually worried about the issue of being unable to resurrect?!
One could only say, as expected of you, when it comes to being cowardly, you really are cowardly! This kind of problem should be left for Kazuma, who is always dying and coming back to life, to worry about.
.....
〜Cautious Hero: The Hero Is Overpowered but Overly Cautious World〜
"Unable to resurrect… Could it be that the Goddess's authority doesn't work in that other world either?!"
Ristarte was instantly shocked by her own speculation and even felt a little smug inside.
It couldn't be helped; who asked for this goddess's brain to be so useful? She immediately guessed the crux of the problem.
However, isn't that a school? If you can't resurrect, then you can't resurrect. It's not like people lose their lives in school, right?
"Good guess, don't guess next time!"
Seiya looked at Ristarte with a face full of disgust:
"Unable to resurrect… That is completely because Eris is playing on her alt account, and there's no one on duty in the Divine Realm."
Every time Kazuma dies, his soul goes to the Heaven Realm, but where would a Heaven Realm come from in this other world?
.....
[ Meanwhile, their conversation was heard clearly by Natsuki Subaru, who was lying prone at the door, causing him to fall into deep thought.
"Could it be that I can't say that phrase in this world either? Let's give it a try!"
Thus, Natsuki Subaru suddenly reached out to plug Tanya's ears, took a deep breath, and made up his mind: "I can Return by De…"
As soon as the words fell, Natsuki Subaru's body suddenly trembled. The familiar darkness instantly enveloped him!
Accompanied by somewhat shrill screams, pitch-black Unseen Hands slowly reached towards his heart to give him a warning, then slowly faded away.
When he opened his eyes again, Natsuki Subaru's face was streaming with cold sweat. Still palpitating with fear, he touched his heart: "I'M BACK—! It looks like the punishment is still there."
Subsequently, under Ainz's surprised gaze, Hamsuke and the Death Knight charged directly towards Natsuki Subaru, but fortunately, they were stopped by Mare with one punch each.
"I am terribly sorry, Ainz-Sama! They suddenly started running excitedly."
Natsuki Subaru pointed at himself at this moment: "It was probably a reaction to my constitution. I have the ability to attract Witch Beasts(Mabeasts), though I didn't expect it to attract the undead as well." ]
[ .....]
〜Projection of All Worlds〜
No, no, no, the Mabeasts might have been attracted by you, but if it's the undead, it's very likely the fault of that mentally retarded goddess…
.....
〜Re: Zero - Starting Life in Another World〜
"I see, is that the reason why Subaru-kun cannot speak of it…"
Rem's face instantly turned somewhat pale, her heart filled with oppression.
That wasn't any constitution that attracted Mabeasts at all, but rather, they were attracted by the lingering scent of the Witch on Subaru. Return by Death increases his scent!
No wonder he had such a thick scent of the Witch on him when they first met. In other words… before they got along harmoniously, exactly how many times did he die in the mansion to exchange for the current peaceful coexistence?
Or rather, exactly how many times did I kill Subaru?! Rem, who hated the Witch, did not believe she would have let off a character suspected of being from the 'Witch Cult'!
"It must be very lonely."
Emilia gazed at Natsuki Subaru's back with some heartache.
In places we don't know about, many painful things must have happened.
Even if his heart has been ravaged by pain until it is riddled with holes, he can only lick his wounds alone.
〜That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime World〜
"…"
Rimuru, being a fellow reincarnator, also felt a range of complicated emotions and didn't know how to speak.
Every death is painful, yet no one knows, no one understands, and he cannot confide in anyone; he can only bury it alone at the bottom of his heart.
Thinking of this, Rimuru's mood became somewhat downcast:
"Great Sage, although the ability Return by Death is strong, I might not be able to bear that loneliness."
A person's psychological endurance has a limit! Fortunately, he still had the Great Sage's company.
But if he were Subaru-kun… perhaps he would have collapsed long ago.
It's like encountering a difficult level in a game; even if you desperately reload the save, it doesn't help. If he couldn't change the status quo, he would be so angry he'd smash the keyboard!
Let alone that the prerequisite for reloading is death. That kind of endless cycle is a repeated torture of the soul!
.....
[ Then the scene shifted. Ainz directly convened a class meeting: "In order to return to our original worlds, we must achieve victory in the Sports Festival!"
But just then, Kazuma propped his chin on one hand, revealing an indifferent expression: "I object. I don't hate this world anyway, so it doesn't matter if we lose."
Hearing this, even Megumin couldn't help but retort: "To be able to say such a thing in this atmosphere, as expected of Kazuma!"
However, Aqua on the side got anxious: "Wait a minute, Kazuma! Don't you still have to hurry back to complete the mission of defeating the Devil King?"
Kazuma slammed the table in anger, turned his head, and scolded Aqua: "How could I possibly beat the Devil King? I want to live an ordinary life here; that's why I can't be bothered to put in the effort!"
However, apart from Kazuma, everyone else expressed great motivation. After all, only idiots start a war with defeat as the prerequisite. ]
[ .....]
『 Viewers of Countless World
"As expected of you, you haven't changed, no matter where you go. You're as scummy as always, Trashzuma!"
Watching Kazuma, whose reaction was different from the rest, even the people outside the video couldn't help but sigh deeply. How is it that even after switching to another world, he's still slacking off and lying flat like this!
This hero accepted reality way too quickly. Everyone even suspected that Kazuma just didn't want to go back to pay off his debts…
.....
〜Type-Moon World, Fifth Holy Grail War Worldline〜
Looking at the Buddhist-like Kazuma, Emiya Shirou held his forehead and said helplessly,
"I can actually understand Kazuma's way of thinking."
"Compared to the other reincarnators, Kazuma has no special abilities, and he's always being pitied by his teammates. He's either pitted to death or in debt…"
In other words, among this group of people, Kazuma is the only ordinary person with nothing.
Since he doesn't have to worry about food or drink here, and it's a familiar modern city where he has no debts and doesn't have to fear being pitted by teammates, of course, he wouldn't want to go back!
Hearing this, Tohsaka Rin also felt it made a lot of sense:
"To be fair, but this guy is actually still a hero…"
Even a salted fish would at least flop around twice, but Kazuma is different; he's a salted fish too lazy to even turn over. Wherever he falls, he dares to sleep right there!
.....
[ "Good grief." As if infected by the surrounding atmosphere, Kazuma spread his hands and laughed helplessly: "Can't do anything about you guys. I will also fight hard alongside everyone."
Just as everyone felt happy about this, Kazuma suddenly changed his face and started yelling: "Did you think I would say that? Absolutely not! It's too much trouble! WHO WANTS TO STRUGGLE!!"
Even Darkness, who was usually a pervert, couldn't listen anymore and hurriedly reminded him: "Kazuma, this is really a bit scummy!"
Kazuma, like a dead pig unafraid of boiling water, didn't care about any of that and continued to laugh wildly: "If I'm scum, I'm scum!"
"Shut up!" Tanya, hating iron for not becoming steel, decided to use her unique method to train Kazuma: "We'll use our 203rd Battalion's specialty, discipline training!"
"I will temper you from a cowardly piece of trash into a soldier who can stand on his own!"
Subsequently, the scene shifted to the school playground. Puck and Tanya floated in the air, launching random area attacks towards the ground below.
"Ahhh—" Kazuma could only scream while hugging the shovel in his hands and running wildly.
Whenever Kazuma's movements slowed down even slightly, Tanya would increase the range and speed of the attacks. ]
[ .....]
〜Projection of All Worlds〜
"I think I know what the shovel in his hand is for. Turns out it's for him to dig holes… no, it should be digging trenches, to hide in."
"Good lord, random area attacks. In other words, Kazuma is actually quite safe, after all, his Luck is ridiculously high."
Watching Kazuma fleeing in panic, the people in other worlds all had looks of schadenfreude on their faces. Finally, someone could cure his devilishness. After all… Scumzuma really is scum!
〜KonoSuba: God's Blessing on This Wonderful World〜
"Is this little girl… always this wild?!"
Watching his somewhat miserable appearance on the screen, Kazuma swallowed a mouthful of saliva in lingering fear.
Relying on his flexible moral baseline, apologizing later wouldn't be out of the question, but…
I remember this person was an elite salaryman before reincarnating. How did they turn into this appearance after reincarnating?!
He couldn't see the elite salaryman; right now, he only saw an elite soldier.
〜OVERLORD World〜
Watching this somewhat miserable scene, Ainz suddenly thought of a phrase:
"Hehe, humans and ghosts are all showing off, only Scumzuma is getting beaten up…"
It couldn't be helped; who asked Kazuma to have no special abilities? What can he do holding a broken shovel? But having said that, this ability to dodge is indeed quite strong.
"Ainz-Sama? Did you laugh?"
Albedo, who had been paying attention to Ainz, suddenly noticed something different.
"Did I…?"
Ainz was also slightly stunned and thoughtfully turned his gaze towards the screen.
Perhaps the version of himself in the video was quite happy, having like-minded partners to continue communicating and playing with freely.
It was like returning to the Guild back then, no longer lonely…
