In less than a minute, Satou Kazuma was back in the real world again.
Aqua was using the same old trick, threatening Eris with her chest pads to force her to release him.
"Seriously, Kazuma, you've only been revived for less than thirty seconds! Can you break that record next time?"
Aqua said to Satou Kazuma.
"Shhh!"
Satou Kazuma immediately said towards Aqua.
At this moment, Elsa's attention was on the others, so Satou Kazuma planned to play dead for a while, waiting for an opportunity.
After all, aside from stealing, he couldn't do anything else.
And Aqua next to him, even looked like she was just making an appearance.
Even Elsa didn't bother attacking her right away.
Escaping with Aqua might be an option, but Satou Kazuma certainly couldn't just watch these people get killed by Elsa. All he could do was wait for an opportunity and find a way to defeat her.
'Subaru must be thinking the same thing, that's why he's just watching from the side, not getting involved in the fight.'
Satou Kazuma thought to himself.
A few feet away, Elsa was fighting Rom and Felt.
Next to him, Natsuki Subaru stood frozen, staring blankly at the scene before him. His eyes couldn't even keep up with Elsa's movements.
She was definitely an opponent he couldn't handle. It was because of fear that he could only stand there in a daze.
This also made Natsuki Subaru realize that what had happened before wasn't a dream.
It was Elsa who killed him in the previous loop!
His gaze couldn't help but shift to Satou Kazuma.
Although this guy looked a bit sleazy, Satou Kazuma's attempt to buy time, ignoring his own fatal injuries, and 'grabbing' Elsa's leg was deeply imprinted in Natsuki Subaru's mind.
Even Kazuma is fighting with all his might, I need to do something too!
Natsuki Subaru ignored the difference in strength and charged directly at Elsa.
'Could it be that Subaru has found a way to fight her!'
Satou Kazuma, who had been playing dead, couldn't help but raise his upper body to look at Natsuki Subaru.
"Oh, finally moving?"
But Elsa just gave Natsuki Subaru a smile.
The next moment, a slash, faster than Natsuki Subaru's eyes could follow, pierced through his body.
It all happened so suddenly that no one reacted.
.....
The scene before his eyes changed.
Familiar streets, familiar crowds, Satou Kazuma and Aqua were back at the point in time when they first came to this world.
"Huh? What happened!?"
Aqua looked completely confused.
"Useless goddess, our time has been reset again!"
Satou Kazuma immediately said to Aqua.
And his brain was also thinking quickly, trying to figure out why time had reset again.
Could it be because he was in danger?
No, that's not right.
He had even been killed twice just now, but time hadn't reset, so it was clearly unrelated to him. And the first time time reset, he and Aqua were even eating.
Could it be that all of this is related to Natsuki Subaru?
It seemed to happen the instant Natsuki Subaru was killed by Elsa!
In the previous loop, Satou Kazuma hadn't been completely sure of what he had experienced, so he hadn't told Natsuki Subaru about the time travel.
Natsuki Subaru might know something too.
He'd have to wait until he saw Natsuki Subaru again to ask him.
Now that time has been reset, he can just go to the place where he met Natsuki Subaru earlier and wait!
But...
"If I go, I'll still run into that trio..."
Satou Kazuma could feel his cheeks still throbbing faintly.
"What are we going to do next, Kazuma!"
Aqua tilted her head, looking at Satou Kazuma as if unwilling to think.
What was happening now was completely beyond the processing range of Aqua's walnut-sized brain.
"I have a plan!"
Satou Kazuma had a smile on his face.
.....
Soon, Satou Kazuma brought Aqua back to that familiar alley.
"Hey, hand over all your valuables!"
The familiar three thugs appeared in front of them again.
"Seriously, it's just like a small monster that's deliberately spawned in a game,"
Satou Kazuma muttered to himself, then raised his chest, deliberately putting on an incredibly arrogant look, and lowered his voice to say:
"Oh? Do you know who I am?"
"Who?"
The three thugs looked at each other. Seeing Satou Kazuma's appearance, they were a little intimidated at first.
But no matter how they looked at it, Satou Kazuma seemed a bit sleazy, not like someone with a special identity.
"Stop bluffing! Hand over your valuables obediently if you don't want to suffer!"
"You've messed with the wrong person. I'm one of the strongest magic users in this country!"
Satou Kazuma said, tilting his head slightly to look at Aqua next to him.
Aqua, who had been a little distracted, finally reacted, hurriedly stepped forward, and raised her right hand.
Light!
Aqua's right hand emitted a bright red light, like a flame burning.
This sight instantly stunned the three thugs in front of them.
What was going on?
"This is a forbidden magic that only I know, the ultimate blazing explosion fireball!"
Satou Kazuma immediately took the name of a move from a game he had played before and made it up on the spot.
"Even if she's just my servant, the effect she can unleash is enough to turn you three into ashes! I'm in a good mood today, I'll spare your lives. Get lost if you don't want to die!"
Aqua's magic, other than being able to emit light, had no destructive power whatsoever!
However, Satou Kazuma thought that he could make good use of this ability, at least to the extent of bluffing.
After investigating in the previous two loops, Satou Kazuma knew that there were magic users in this world, but not many, so he planned to disguise himself and Aqua as magic users to scare these people away.
Hearing Satou Kazuma's words, the three thugs looked at each other.
They didn't dare risk their lives.
"Retreat, retreat!"
As the skinny guy gave the order, the other two also ran away.
"Nice! As expected, I still have to rely on my intelligence!"
Satou Kazuma had a very satisfied smile on his face. This time, at least he didn't get beaten up, and he was able to show off in front of these guys.
