After scaring away those three thugs, Satou Kazuma came to the previous street corner with Aqua. They sat on the ground, waiting for Natsuki Subaru to arrive.
The wait was a bit boring, so Satou Kazuma and Aqua started chatting.
"Useless goddess, your revival magic can only be used on me, right?"
"Huh? How did you know?"
"Doesn't really need guessing, does it?"
A speechless look appeared on Satou Kazuma's face.
After all, Aqua has lost her followers and almost all her power as a goddess. Even basic healing magic doesn't work.
That revival magic from before wasn't magic at all!
"Hey, hey, don't look down on me! As a goddess, in my prime, I could save people even when they were on the verge of death!"
Aqua looked unconvinced and said to Satou Kazuma very seriously,
"It's all because I appeared in this world for no reason, and I don't have a single follower! This shows that this world is very backward! They haven't even heard of my goddess name! Seriously! Wait... hold on! Kazuma, you're not one of my followers either?!"
"Ah, I am."
Satou Kazuma said, while turning his head to the side, pretending not to know anything.
If he hadn't seen her in the heavenly realm before, Satou Kazuma would have found it hard to believe that the person in front of him was a goddess.
"Kazuma! Why don't you believe in me?!"
Just as Aqua grabbed Satou Kazuma's shoulders and started shaking him crazily, a familiar figure flashed past.
Felt.
"Wait! Felt!"
Satou Kazuma subconsciously shouted Felt's name, and the latter stopped after hearing the voice.
"Who are you? Do I know you?"
Felt frowned, looking at Satou Kazuma cautiously.
"Uh... don't you remember me!"
Satou Kazuma had a stiff smile on his face, scratching his head, his brain thinking.
Wait a minute.
The root cause of all the previous events seemed to be because Elsa hired Felt to steal a certain badge.
Is there anything special about that badge?
But if I could get that badge ahead of time, wouldn't that prevent all these events from happening?
"For no reason, I'm in a hurry right now, don't bother me!"
Felt said impatiently to Satou Kazuma, then left the place without stopping.
Satou Kazuma then reached out in front of him, aimed at Felt, and activated his stealing ability again.
He had unintentionally used this skill on Felt before, stealing her panties and getting beaten up as a result.
Satou Kazuma didn't want that to happen again.
"Badge, badge, badge... not panties, not panties, not panties, panties, panties, panties, panties..."
Even though Satou Kazuma tried hard not to think about anything related to panties, related images kept flooding his mind.
He could only shake his head forcefully, trying to get the panties out of his mind.
"Kazuma, what are you doing?"
"Don't interrupt me, I need to concentrate..."
Satou Kazuma could feel a small object in his palm, feeling cold to the touch, not panties.
He looked down and saw a badge with a dragon crest in Satou Kazuma's hand.
"Phew."
Satou Kazuma breathed a sigh of relief, but for some reason, he still felt a little bit of disappointment.
"What's this, what's this? It looks like something valuable! Let's hurry up and sell it for money! I really want to eat that big chicken leg we didn't get last time!"
Aqua said quickly.
"This is the badge that Subaru was trying to get back, the thing belonging to that woman named Satella."
Satou Kazuma couldn't help but sigh at Aqua's tragic memory, while also lowering his head, staring intently at the badge in his hand.
After coming to this world, Satou Kazuma had been observing the various details of this city. There were dragon patterns or sculptures in many places.
In addition to the previous investigation, Satou Kazuma also knew that this country called Lugunica had signed a contract with the Divine Dragon.
The badge in his hand looked valuable, and the dragon pattern on it was very delicate.
This shouldn't be something that ordinary people could have. The girl named Satella must have an extraordinary identity, at least noble-level.
But why did Elsa specifically hire Felt to steal this badge?
If it was just for money, stealing other jewelry would definitely be the best choice.
And if Satella really had a noble status, she probably wouldn't care too much about losing an ordinary badge.
There's no doubt that this badge must have a very special meaning.
Satou Kazuma told all his speculations, but Aqua, who was next to him, still had a confused expression on her face:
"Oh... but what good is it to say such a long string of things?"
"You idiot, are you stupid!"
Satou Kazuma felt a little helpless and could only sigh,
"This shows that the badge is very important, and possibly very valuable!"
"Valuable!"
Hearing the words "valuable," Aqua's eyes instantly lit up.
For her, valuable meant that she could get more food!
"Then shouldn't we sell it for money even more!"
Satou Kazuma felt speechless at Aqua's tragic intelligence, took a deep breath, and then continued:
"We need to figure out what this badge is for first, and if Satella, who Subaru is talking about, is a person with a prominent identity, maybe we can earn some favor! That's more worthwhile than selling it directly!"
"I see! I didn't expect Kazuma to be so reliable!"
Just as the two of them were talking, a familiar figure appeared in front of him.
Natsuki Subaru.
At this moment, Natsuki Subaru had a confused expression on his face.
After the previous two loops, Natsuki Subaru was basically certain that he was caught in a time loop.
And his death was the starting point.
He had just seen Satella again—but when Natsuki Subaru excitedly called out her name, it made her furious and even suspected him of being an accomplice of Felt.
This made Natsuki Subaru feel wronged and confused. Just as he was about to walk through the familiar street and meet Satou Kazuma again, he found that the three thugs who were originally squatting on the only way had also disappeared.
What's going on?
