"You idiot, are you here to bother Betty again!"
Seeing Satou Kazuma appear, Beatrice sighed helplessly.
"It's really not..."
Satou Kazuma muttered softly.
He simply wanted to return to his room to rest, and didn't expect to so accurately find Beatrice's doorway again.
But since he was here, it was a good opportunity to try recruiting Beatrice.
"I happen to have something to ask you, Betty!"
Satou Kazuma had a smile on his face.
"Looking at that expression of yours, I can tell you're up to no good!"
Beatrice looked at Satou Kazuma with caution.
"What do you mean? I have something very important to ask Betty!"
"What is it? Betty is going to be annoyed to death today!"
"Betty, join our team!"
Satou Kazuma looked at Beatrice with utmost sincerity.
Their team had gathered too many weirdos already.
A goddess with a broken brain, who's lived for ten thousand years and is an old woman.
A violent thief, who is a young girl.
A monster user who almost killed him, who is a little girl.
This group looks like a collection of the old, weak, and disabled.
To survive in this world, you have to find a reliable teammate.
Compared to them, Beatrice is practically a god.
Not only is her fighting ability far beyond the others, but her ability to teleport is also very useful.
It would save them a lot of travel time and wasted effort later on.
Even if he's called a little girl lover, it's worth it.
"Why are you suddenly telling Betty these strange things! And didn't you say before that you didn't want Betty!"
Beatrice pouted slightly as she spoke.
When Satou Kazuma first came to her, she felt somewhat confused, and later he even seemed to dislike her, which made Beatrice feel an inexplicable anger.
"I was wrong, Betty."
Satou Kazuma immediately said.
"Betty isn't that easily...wait, what are you doing?"
In less than half a second, Satou Kazuma suddenly knelt on the ground, and the sound of his knees hitting the floor was incredibly clear.
"Betty, I was wrong!!!"
Satou Kazuma's apology was much louder than before, and he lowered his body, his forehead almost touching the ground.
He had to convince Betty to leave with him!
The team had to have someone who could be relied on.
"It's not that serious...forget it, Betty is too lazy to argue with you, get up quickly, the way you're apologizing is a little disgusting to Betty!"
Beatrice frowned and quickly waved for Satou Kazuma to stand up.
But Satou Kazuma only straightened his upper body and didn't stand up for a long time, just staring straight at Beatrice.
"Don't look at Betty like that, really, hurry up and get up!"
Seeing Satou Kazuma's sincere appearance, Beatrice sighed.
Although she appears very aloof on the surface, Beatrice is actually very soft-hearted.
But after hearing Beatrice's words, Satou Kazuma remained kneeling on the ground.
"Okay, okay, Betty isn't that angry anymore!"
"That Betty..."
Satou Kazuma looked at Beatrice, his expression gradually becoming serious.
"What's wrong..."
"Can you use healing magic, my knees feel a little sore and my legs are numb, I can't stand up..."
Satou Kazuma's kneeling motion was too quick, causing him to be unable to stand up for a while.
The corner of Beatrice's mouth twitched slightly, and she gritted her back teeth:
"Just kneel there for Betty!"
After several minutes, Satou Kazuma finally recovered and sat next to Beatrice:
"How about it! That suggestion from just now!"
"Not good at all! Why would Betty go out with you!"
"Because we need you, Betty! Our group, I mean team, needs someone reliable, strong, and super cute like you, Betty!"
Satou Kazuma replied without thinking.
Hearing his words, Beatrice tried to restrain her expression, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise slightly.
"And you've always wanted to go outside and see the world, right?"
"Don't act like you know Betty so well!"
"Because you didn't reject me at first, and..."
Satou Kazuma leaned back in his chair and turned to look towards the door of the forbidden library.
"If it were me, I would go crazy guarding this forbidden library alone for four hundred years! You've been cooped up for four hundred years, it's time to go out and take a walk!"
Beatrice didn't answer, but her eyes showed a hint of sadness.
She held fast to her promise with her mother, guarding the forbidden library, waiting for 'that person' to arrive, but only met with disappointment time and time again.
Until now...
Beatrice even wished in her heart to end this endless mission with death.
"I'd go crazy if I just read books every day, I need some games to play, let me see what you read every day~"
Just as Beatrice's thoughts drifted away, Satou Kazuma picked up the most eye-catching black-covered book on the table and started flipping through it out of boredom.
"Ah!"
Beatrice turned her head to look, instantly shocked.
Because Satou Kazuma was holding her Book of Wisdom!
Just as Satou Kazuma began to flip through it, Beatrice grabbed the Book of Wisdom from him and quickly hugged it in her arms:
"This is Betty's, don't touch it!"
Satou Kazuma saw Beatrice this agitated for the first time, and couldn't help but feel curious.
After a few seconds, a look of sudden understanding appeared on his face:
"Oh! I get it! So that's what you're like, Betty!"
"What do you understand?"
"Well, you're still a young girl after all, I can understand."
"Betty has no idea what you're talking about!?"
"I didn't expect you to have a bit of 'chuunibyou' too, Betty."
"What are you saying? What's "chuunibyou?"
Beatrice looked confused, completely unaware of what the term meant.
"I don't know what kind of words you use to describe it, but I can understand. After all, young people will have "middle school syndrome." They all have their own little notebooks, writing strange words on them that only they can understand~ But you absolutely can't let others see them, tsk tsk tsk."
Satou Kazuma had a meaningful smile on his face, and his teeth even seemed to reflect a dazzling light.
"Although I feel it's a little early for someone your age, it's a sign of maturity! Don't worry, I understand you and I definitely won't reveal your secret."
"That's not it at all ahhhhh!!!"
