At the same time, inside the room, Meili heard everything Satou Kazuma and Rem were saying.
Just like Satou Kazuma guessed, Meili was planning to find a chance to run away.
Even though she agreed to Aqua's invitation to join the group, it was just a trick to buy time. Meili never intended to travel with Aqua and the others from the start.
When the time was right, Meili would find another opportunity to escape and reunite with her sister Elsa.
However, after hearing what Satou Kazuma and Rem said, Meili hesitated.
"He trusts me that much....."
Meili's heart was slightly touched. She didn't expect Satou Kazuma to trust her so much.
Even though her true identity was exposed, he still showed her kindness.
Meili had never met someone like that before.
"The reason why Elsa is so interested in Kazuma is because he's special....."
Meili muttered to herself.
And an idea couldn't help but form in her heart.
That was to get to know this person better.
Meili's heart was full of curiosity about Satou Kazuma.
She gave up her plan to escape and went back to her bed and closed her eyes.
After living a life of danger for so long, it had been a long time since Meili had slept on such a soft bed.
As she lay there, Meili gradually fell asleep.
.....
The next morning, Rem and Ram had already prepared breakfast for everyone.
Satou Kazuma, who came out with Beatrice, surprised everyone present.
Especially Roswaal.
He never thought that Beatrice, who had been bound by a contract for hundreds of years, would finally be freed one day.
And the 'person' who brought her out was Satou Kazuma.
Roswaal asked Beatrice what happened yesterday with great curiosity.
"Because this guy is too stupid, Betty has no choice but to become his guardian to avoid future troubles, and follow the idiot Kazuma."
Beatrice replied, but the upward tone of her voice was enough to show the joy in her heart.
"That's great, Betty!"
Puck also had a smile on his face, floating around Beatrice in the air. To him, Betty was like his own younger sister, and he was happy for Betty's freedom.
"Kazuma-sama, why do you look so tired?"
Emilia turned to look at Satou Kazuma, who now had huge dark circles under his eyes.
"N-Nothing....."
Satou Kazuma shook his head.
Satou Kazuma could say that he didn't sleep at all last night.
Because Beatrice needed to gather magic power from his body in order to maintain their contract, the two of them needed to stay together even when sleeping.
This was a huge shock to Satou Kazuma, who hadn't had close contact with a member of the opposite sex for more than ten years.
A storm had already been stirred up in Satou Kazuma's heart, but for him, young girls were his limit!
Even though Beatrice was over four hundred years old, she was still an absolute young girl in Satou Kazuma's eyes.
"Hasn't Meili woken up yet?"
Satou Kazuma turned to look towards the entrance of the dining room, and a smile appeared on his face.
Meili must have already run away last night!
This would be the best result for both sides!
They wouldn't need to be in contact with such a dangerous person!
And whatever actions she and Elsa took afterwards would have nothing to do with him!
"Kazuma, are you waiting for me?"
"?"
A completely refreshed Meili appeared in front of Satou Kazuma.
She had changed into a brand new set of clothes, which made her cuteness even better.
Satou Kazuma didn't expect Meili to not choose to run away, but to stay in the mansion.
Why! Why?!
"Meili, you're still here....."
"Of course. Since you believe me, Kazuma, then I also want to get to know you better for Elsa!"
Meili had a smile on her face, and the way she addressed Satou Kazuma seemed to have become more and more intimate, and she sat directly next to him.
"Kazuma, what did you do?"
Natsuki Subaru looked at Satou Kazuma with a shocked expression.
Meili, who wanted to kill them yesterday, had now become their partner.
Beatrice had also signed a contract with Satou Kazuma and left the forbidden library.
"I didn't do anything."
Satou Kazuma was also a little innocent.
The development of things was completely beyond his expectations.
"And you say you're not into young girls~"
Aqua had a meaningful smile on her face as she spoke to Satou Kazuma.
Her eyes looked at Meili, then Beatrice, and finally Felt.
"Hey, why are you looking at me!"
Satou Kazuma looked around and couldn't help but sigh, but soon he seemed to have thought of something and turned to Beatrice and said:
"Betty, after signing a contract with me, you can still use your magic, right!"
"Yes."
"Then do you have any other magic? Show me!"
Satou Kazuma asked impatiently.
Since he had signed a contract with Betty, then in a sense, he was an elf user or summoner.
Then Beatrice's combat ability should also be counted as his!
So Satou Kazuma wanted to know if Beatrice had any other magic that could be useful in the future.
"Alright, Betty will reluctantly show the idiot Kazuma!"
Soon, Satou Kazuma and Beatrice came to the outer courtyard, which was very spacious and suitable for casting magic.
Beatrice first demonstrated the most basic attack magic, which was the ability she used to eliminate the magic beast.
"Betty, do you have any other magic?"
"Don't underestimate Betty. No one in this world can surpass Betty in the art of dark magic!"
As Beatrice spoke, she raised her hand and began to chant,
"El Minya!"
As Beatrice cast the magic, countless magic arrows were created in the air, even more than before.
"Wow! Amazing, Betty!"
Looking at the scene in front of him, Satou Kazuma couldn't help but exclaim. Beatrice's combat ability was indeed far beyond the others in his team!
Awesome!
"Of course!"
Hearing Satou Kazuma's praise, Beatrice's face also showed a happy and proud smile, like a child who had received a reward.
"Is there any more powerful magic?!"
"Of course! Ul Minya!"
Beatrice cast the magic again, and countless magic vines composed of magic power appeared around her body. They could entangle the target and achieve crushing blows.
This was a very powerful skill. The only drawback was that it consumed a lot of magic power.
"Do more, Betty!"
Satou Kazuma shouted excitedly.
The stronger Beatrice was, the easier their lives would be in the future!
"It's easy for Betty!"
"Great, do a few more!"
Listening to Satou Kazuma's words, Beatrice then cast a few more spells.
"How is it, idiot Kazuma!"
Beatrice proudly turned her head, ready to wait for Satou Kazuma's praise, but there was no response.
"BaKazuma!"
At this moment, Satou Kazuma had collapsed to the ground with white foam frothing from his mouth. He seemed to have become a little shriveled, and there was no light in his eyes.
The magic that Beatrice had just cast had almost drained all the magic power from Satou Kazuma's body.
Even though Beatrice knew in advance that Satou Kazuma had little magic power stored in his body, she was a little carried away by Satou Kazuma's praise just now, and she didn't expect the other party to almost run out of it so quickly.
It only took a few seconds, and Beatrice didn't even have time to react.
Normally, to this extent, if the magic power wasn't completely exhausted, Satou Kazuma would only feel tired and would be able to recover after a short rest.
However, Satou Kazuma didn't rest well yesterday, and his physical fitness and everything else were worse than ordinary people, so he couldn't stand it and passed out.
"Hey, what's wrong with this guy?"
Aqua ate snacks on the side, watching Satou Kazuma pass out on the ground without caring.
"Betty, Betty used too much of his magic power at once!"
Beatrice's eyes were full of panic. Running out of magic power was no small matter.
"Don't worry, leave it to me!"
Aqua shoved the entire snack in her hand into her mouth and then cast a healing spell on Satou Kazuma.
"Ordinary healing magic can't heal this..... Huh?"
Beatrice had a surprised expression on her face because Satou Kazuma, who had fainted, actually opened his eyes.
This, this is not right?
Beatrice had stayed in the forbidden library for four hundred years and knew almost all the magic knowledge like the back of her hand. Ordinary healing magic could only restore physical wounds.
Was Aqua's just now really just healing magic?
"What just happened?"
Satou Kazuma touched his head and sat up on the ground.
"Your magic power was almost completely exhausted just now, it was so dangerous!"
Beatrice said with a worried look.
"What! I have more than enough magic power!"
Hearing the other party's words, Satou Kazuma immediately stood up and denied it.
"But you clearly passed out just now?"
"That's because I didn't sleep well yesterday!"
Just as they were talking, they suddenly heard a sound coming from the direction of the courtyard gate.
An extremely luxurious dragon carriage slowly drove in. The high-end carriage was printed with a lion emblem.
The person driving the dragon carriage was an old man with graying temples, but his strong body and the hawk-like, sharp eyes were enough to show that he was no ordinary person.
He jumped nimbly from the earth dragon and walked to the back of the carriage, slowly opening the door.
A cat-eared 'girl' appeared in front of Satou Kazuma.
A blue and white dress wrapped around her slender body, and a lovely face was framed by short brown hair, with brown tail shaking along with a huge bow behind. It looked very cute.
"I assume you are Aqua-sama and Satou Kazuma-sama. Allow me to introduce myself. I am Wilhelm, the butler of the Karsten family."
The old man introduced himself to everyone in a very gentlemanly manner, then turned to look at the 'girl' behind him,
"This is Felix Gra——"
"Nice to meet you, Miss Felix~"
In less than half a second, Satou Kazuma had already instantly appeared in front of Felix, showing what he thought was a very elegant smile, the teeth showing a blinding light, while he held out his hand.
This cat girl called Felix could definitely be considered a great beauty!
Her figure isn't bad either, it's just that her upper body looks about the same as Felt's.
But overall, she still has a score of 80 or more!
Wilhelm on the side slightly turned his face, watching Satou Kazuma intently.
He was not an ordinary person. He was once a strong member of the kingdom known as the Sword Demon.
However, for various reasons, Wilhelm left his family and joined the Karsten family.
"This person is so fast....."
Wilhelm looked at Satou Kazuma and sighed in his heart.
He clearly looked very thin, but he just came to Felix at an amazing speed.
This person is definitely not ordinary.
"Oh, so enthusiastic, meow! Nice to meet you, Kazuma-sama! Just call me Ferris!"
Felix had a polite smile on his face as he spoke to Satou Kazuma, holding his hand,
"Also, I'm not a 'miss', meow. Ferris is a boy, meow."
"Wait, a boy?"
"That's right, meow "
Before Felix could finish speaking, Satou Kazuma instantly moved several meters away again and returned behind Aqua.
A boy?
A BOY!
This guy is a boy?!
Damn it, definitely another pervert!
A cross-dressing pervert, unacceptable!
If it were a girl, using "meow" would of course be very cute!
But if it's a boy, then making a "meow" sound is disgusting!
Even his breathing is wrong!
Are there no truly normal beautiful girls in this world?
Satou Kazuma shouted in his heart as he wiped Aqua's clothes with his hands, as if trying to wipe off something unclean.
Wilhelm narrowed his eyes slightly, watching Satou Kazuma intently, lost in thought.
"Hey, Kazuma-sama, why did you suddenly run away, meow? Did something happen?"
Felix asked Satou Kazuma with a puzzled look.
"N-No, nothing."
Satou Kazuma shook his head, but his body couldn't help but lean back a little further,
"Who are you here to see?"
"We are here to see Emilia-sama and Roswaal-sama, and you and Aqua-sama."
Felix said with a smile.
