After hearing Satou Kazuma's words, Echidna was stunned for a moment and started wildly imagining things.
"Hey, hey, hey, I can tell you're thinking about something weird."
Satou Kazuma grabbed Echidna's shoulders and shook her hard a few times.
"I'm talking about dreaming, dreaming! Didn't you say you could change dreams before?! You useless Dona, you're not going to tell me you can't do that now, are you?!"
Satou Kazuma's eyes were full of doubt.
"Oh, oh, I can! Of course I can!"
Echidna said immediately.
Satou Kazuma's words were questioning her strength as the Witch of Greed!
Unacceptable!
She was someone who had researched all kinds of magic after all.
Even if this wasn't the Dream City, Echidna had still researched magic that could control dreams.
"Then hurry up and use it on me! You should know what kind of dream I want! The bigger the better!"
"Got it, got it!"
Echidna immediately began to cast magic on Satou Kazuma, purple light flashing in her hands before disappearing.
"OK! That's worthy of the Witch of Greed, Echidna!"
Satou Kazuma thought the magic had been cast and nodded at Echidna with a smile.
"You only call me the Witch of Greed at times like this?"
Although she was finally being called the Witch of Greed, Echidna couldn't be happy.
Four hundred years ago, countless people had spared no expense to find her, just to obtain all kinds of knowledge.
But the guy in front of her treated her as if she was unimportant!
Damn it, so annoying!
"How could that be! Echidna, you've always been the witch I trust most!"
Satou Kazuma put on a very serious face, then patted Echidna on the shoulder.
"Don't worry! No matter what, I'll do everything I can to bring you back to life! I'm leaving now!"
After saying that, Satou Kazuma turned around and ran away, leaving Echidna looking confused.
"Dona, Dona, you're being used as a tool!"
"Being the Witch of Greed and having no dignity at all."
"Little Dona! The arson incident last time isn't over yet!"
Echidna just felt a headache and lay down on the bed directly, the soft mattress wrapping her body up.
But...
Was the magic successful just now?
Echidna wasn't sure.
After all, she wasn't adapted to this body enough, and the "gate" inside her wasn't fully developed, so many advanced spells couldn't be used.
Whatever?
Anyway, it's just a dream, it's not a big deal, at most Satou Kazuma will just realize her magic didn't work.
"Never mind, I'll rest first, I'm so tired, I'm so tired now that I've got my body back."
.....
A few minutes later, Satou Kazuma had taken off his clothes and lay in the bath, ready to relax and get some good rest.
Soaking in the hot water, the fatigue of the past few days gradually disappeared.
Since returning from the Sanctuary, a lot of things had happened.
First, Satou Kazuma helped Emilia sign a new contract.
Emilia had regained her memories, and the amount of mana she had was even more than before - because her memories were sealed, Emilia had never been able to use her true power.
However, Emilia's mana still couldn't support re-signing a contract with Puck, which was Satou Kazuma's time to act.
With the "charger" goddess beside him, Satou Kazuma was able to continuously transmit mana into Emilia's body, allowing her to successfully re-establish a contract with Puck.
And another person was also closely related to this incident.
Geuse.
After Emilia regained her memories, she found Geuse as soon as possible, and they recognized each other, embracing and crying.
However, Emilia didn't talk about Fortuna.
After all, in the trial memories, Fortuna was killed by Geuse himself.
Even though this was because of Pandora's brainwashing, Emilia felt it would be too cruel to say it directly.
And she also noticed something strange.
If Fortuna was really accidentally killed by Geuse and her body was left there, Emilia should have noticed it when she recovered from the frozen state.
But Emilia had no impression of anything related to that.
Perhaps... there were other possibilities.
Emilia was extremely grateful to Satou Kazuma and Aqua for these things, and promised that their camp would unconditionally support them in any way needed in the future.
With that, the past events related to the Sanctuary and Emilia came to an end.
As for the reconstruction of the Sanctuary... it was put on hold for the time being.
"So, the experience points should be enough, right? I almost forgot about this."
Satou Kazuma took out his Adventurer Card and realized that he could level up several skills.
[Learned skill: Riding, general skill, can skillfully ride any mountable creature]
"....."
The first skill left Satou Kazuma speechless.
Skill unlocks are related to what you've experienced recently...
Could it be because he rode Aqua like a jet ski that he gained this skill?
But this ability seems to be useful as well.
After all, he was almost killed by a dragon before.
So what's the next skill?
[Learned skill: Sneak, thief skill, makes yourself and any teammates you touch difficult to detect]
[Learned skill: Emergency Evasion, general skill, high chance to avoid enemy attacks.]
"Oh? Two life-saving skills? Although it doesn't help much in direct combat, it feels pretty good... But why did I unlock these two skills, could it be because I've been accidentally hit by my teammates too many times..."
Satou Kazuma felt a wave of sadness rise in his heart, then put the Adventurer Card back into his clothes next to the bathtub, and soaked his body in the hot water again.
"I'll take a bath first, then I'll go to bed and rest! I'll have a good sleep and have a dream! Elsa's figure would be nice! If only she didn't have that personality, Priscilla is also good..."
Satou Kazuma was soaking when a feeling of drowsiness came over him, and he thought he'd just doze off for a bit, and unknowingly fell asleep (this is very dangerous, please do not imitate).
A few minutes later, Satou Kazuma suddenly opened his eyes -
"Huh? Did I fall asleep?"
Satou Kazuma looked around in confusion, realizing that he had just been out of it for a moment.
The next second, a perverted smile appeared on his face.
"So, I'm in the dream now! You useless Dona - no, it's the Witch of Greed Echidna now, her magic worked! A beautiful girl should be coming in soon! Who will it be~ I'm so excited~"
Satou Kazuma muttered to himself excitedly.
Just then, footsteps came from outside the door.
"Seriously, I'm so tired! That damn Kazuma, leaving all this stuff to me!"
Felt complained as she took off her clothes, ready to take a good bath.
Felt had been busy dealing with things in the slums lately.
Not to mention the women who came from Regulus before, there was also an exaggerated number of Axis cultists, and now some residents from the Sanctuary had arrived.
The sparsely populated slums were packed with these people, and even became a little lively for a while.
Felt was responsible for more than just arranging housing for them, but also arranging jobs and things like that.
She never thought these things would fall on her shoulders.
If that was all, it would be fine...
Earlier, under Satou Kazuma's instructions, Ram and Rem would help out a bit.
Rem was super efficient, saving Felt a lot of trouble.
As for Ram, she was in charge of bringing them food.
Felt ate steamed sweet potatoes for several days.
Sweet potatoes for breakfast, sweet potatoes for lunch, sweet potatoes for dinner, even snacks were sweet potatoes.
Although she didn't care what she ate back in the slums, eating steamed sweet potatoes every meal now was too much for her to handle, and she even developed a bit of a fear of sweet potatoes.
Rem was enjoying it, but Felt was on the verge of collapse, and even started to fear sweet potatoes.
"The work's almost done, I can finally rest! It's been a long time since I ran around the neighborhood like that! I'll go take a look when I get the chance!"
Felt put her worries behind her, ready to relax with a good bath first.
She opened the door and saw Satou Kazuma casting a look of anticipation and lewdness.
"Ahhhhh! You bastard, why are you still here?! Don't you lock the door?!"
Felt was shocked, her face turning red in the next second, and she instantly picked up a towel to cover herself.
Although she had inexplicably taken a bath with him once before, they had both tacitly avoided talking about it.
Felt didn't expect that such a scene would happen again, and this time she wasn't prepared at all.
"I was already taking a bath, but... Tsk, it's you."
Seeing Felt in front of him, the anticipation in Satou Kazuma's eyes disappeared instantly, replaced by disgust and anger.
"That damn useless Dona, arranged such a piece of trash for me?! I'll have to teach her a lesson when I wake up! It's so annoying!"
"Hey, hey, Kazuma, what are you talking about?"
Seeing the obvious change in Satou Kazuma's expression, Felt felt incredibly angry.
"And what do you mean by looking at me with such disgust?"
"I'm not into lolis, and there's no need to cover up that body of yours."
Satou Kazuma sneered.
Normally, Satou Kazuma would never say such things to Felt.
After all, her attacks were too swift.
But he thought that since he was in a dream, it didn't matter.
If he couldn't satisfy his eyes, at least he could satisfy his mouth.
"Oh well, since it's you, then nothing else matters, at least I can do some things I can't usually do, right?"
The corners of Satou Kazuma's mouth curled up slightly.
"What are you trying to do!"
Felt immediately became alert, taking a step back.
"Hey, you Loli, come scrub my back!"
Satou Kazuma had an extremely arrogant expression on his face as he said to Felt.
"?"
Felt was a little confused.
Although Satou Kazuma was always acting like a bastard, he had never been so arrogant as to ask her to scrub his back.
Was this guy really tired of living?
And what did he just call her?
Loli?!
"I'm going to kill you!"
Felt came back to her senses, grinding her teeth violently, making an extremely grating sound, the anger in her eyes seeming to completely drown Satou Kazuma.
"Is her personality perfectly replicated too? But seriously, are you deaf? I told you to come scrub my back! Did you hear me!"
Before Satou Kazuma could finish speaking, Felt didn't care that she only had a towel on, and kicked Satou Kazuma in the face.
Emergency Evasion activated!
Satou Kazuma took a step back quickly, dodging Felt's attack.
The skill he had just learned had come in handy so quickly.
"What?"
Felt was a little surprised, never expecting that Satou Kazuma would dodge her attack.
What's wrong with this guy today?
Did he go crazy or something?
"Hey, hey, Loli, is that all you've got? Tsk, tsk~"
Satou Kazuma revealed an extremely sarcastic smile.
Since it was a dream, he had to make fun of this guy.
"Kazuma, you bastard, die!"
Felt launched another attack on Satou Kazuma, but he dodged her attack again because of Emergency Evasion.
"This is my dream now~ I'm invincible~ I might not be able to beat you before, but it's completely different in my dream~ Trash~"
But just as Satou Kazuma activated Emergency Evasion, he stepped on a bar of soap next to the bathtub, slipped, and fell straight to the ground, hitting his head and passing out.
Emergency Evasion only dodges threatening attacks - and it's not necessarily where you end up.
Looking at the unconscious Satou Kazuma, Felt frowned, really wanting to kick him a few times.
But she quickly dismissed the thought.
This guy's brain wasn't normal to begin with, he might become even more abnormal?
But she couldn't let this guy off so easily...
Suddenly, a sly smile appeared on Felt's face, and she quickly walked out of the bathtub and put on her clothes.
"Aqua, do you have any paint? The waterproof kind!"
