[ Seeing the Winter Shogun's appearance, Darkness's face flushed strangely, and she exhaled hot air, clearly entering an excited state: "Although I will resist, I'm afraid I will be humiliated by it due to insufficient strength!"
The Winter Shogun held his sword with both hands in front of his chest, then the blade flashed, and in the blink of an eye, the cold, sharp blade had already slashed towards Darkness!
Darkness subconsciously raised her greatsword to try and block the attack, but...
"CLANG—!"
"Ah... Ah! My sword!"
With just one clash, the greatsword that had withstood Beldia's fierce assault was instantly cut in half!
Aqua quickly opened the bottle in her hand and released the snow spirits she had painstakingly caught: "Kazuma, listen to me! The Winter Shogun is very magnanimous; as long as you sincerely apologize, he will let you go!"
With that, Aqua quickly prostrated herself, pressing her head tightly against the snow, performing a perfectly standard kowtow!
"Quick, everyone, throw away your weapons and kneel in apology."
Megumin was still playing dead, motionless, but Darkness refused to kneel: "As a knight, I cannot kneel to a monster."
But Kazuma couldn't care less and directly pushed her to the ground: "You usually get excited about following monsters, so why are you talking about dignity now?!"
At this moment, Aqua reminded Kazuma to quickly throw away the sword in his hand, but it was too late. The Winter Shogun showed no mercy and directly cut off the latter's head.
As Kazuma's vision spun, he immediately met his end. ]

"Yare yare, I finally know why no one was willing to take this task despite such a high reward! As expected, risk is directly proportional to reward."
Facing these teammates who occasionally had sudden fits, Kazuma really had it tough... Looking at it this way, Kazuma, aside from being a bit perverted, was still a normal person!
Wasn't Darkness usually a pervert? Now she cares about a knight's dignity, which she lost long ago. Do you think you still have that thing on you?
So Kazuma was killed by Darkness's machinations; he ultimately didn't survive this winter, directly "splitting up"... It's truly baffling!

〜Re: Zero - Starting Life in Another World〜
Emilia's eyes were somewhat unfocused, as if lost in deep thought:
"She... why is she so skilled at kneeling? Is she really a goddess?"
As a goddess, why could she perform such a standard kneeling motion? Where did all her dignity go?
As if she had been through countless trials, her kneeling was incredibly skilled; she didn't even resist, or rather, she never even thought of resisting.
Facing Emilia's somewhat piercing gaze, Natsuki Subaru awkwardly looked away...
Who knows how Aqua became a goddess! She has no integrity whatsoever.
〜Type-Moon World, ██████ Worldline, Chaldea〜
Watching Kazuma get instantly killed by a single slash, Fujimaru Ritsuka shivered, still shaken:
"This world doesn't seem as wonderful as I imagined."
Hidden behind the funny laughter of Kazuma's party, it seems this world is quite dangerous. Even cabbages, which were treated as ingredients before, could injure people!
And Aqua has thrown countless reincarnated people over, including Mitsurugi, yet not a single one has defeated the Demon King so far.
And even though they avoided dangerous quests, choosing a snow spirit quest still led them to a hidden boss!
Da Vinci also broke out in a sweat:
"Could it be that Kazuma lives such a difficult life purely because Aqua's luck is negative?!"
And if I remember correctly, Aqua caught four snow spirits, but only released three. Where's the other one hidden? I have a feeling someone's about to get scammed again!
.....
[ The scene shifts, and the deceased Kazuma arrives in the afterlife. It's the familiar chair, the only difference being a different goddess.
"Satou Kazuma-san, welcome to the afterlife. I am Eris, the goddess who guides you to a new path!"
"Your life in this world has ended!"
Kazuma felt a sense of déjà vu; it seemed similar to when he first met Aqua.
But unlike Aqua, Eris was gentle and kind, and she deeply sympathized with Kazuma's two deaths, promising him a reincarnation into a wealthy family this time.
Kazuma immediately became excited: "If possible, a beautiful girl with above-average looks, intelligence, and physical strength, a childhood friend would be even better!"
Although Eris's expression was a bit troubled, Kazuma breathed a sigh of relief and then began to complain incessantly.
"The useless goddess who came as a reincarnation bonus, not only arrogant but also useless."
"The brain-exploding girl who collapses after one spell, and the masochistic pervert, the Crusader who can't hit anything!"
"Even though I'm an adventurer, I have to repair city walls and do odd jobs, and after defeating the boss, I'm burdened with a huge debt that I couldn't repay even by selling a kidney..."
"Living in a stable, let alone recovering my stamina, I almost froze to death!"
As he spoke, Kazuma unconsciously shed tears. Subconsciously, he was still a little reluctant to part with his idiotic companions. ]

"This is a true goddess! No wonder they say flowers need green leaves to set them off. Compared to the idiotic goddess Aqua, she's an angel."
"Good heavens, he's reincarnating again, so is he taking this goddess with him this time?! It would be a shame not to take such a good goddess."
Good heavens... everyone was struggling to hold back. What kind of bizarre development is this? The Demon King hasn't even been dealt with, and the hero is going to reincarnate into another world to enjoy himself!
And what kind of torment did Aqua put Kazuma through? He even specifically asked for a childhood friend with above-average intelligence...

〜Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation World〜
Listening to Kazuma's complaints, Rudy also agreed with Kazuma's statement:
"Objectively speaking, Kazuma really had a hard life! It's hard to say if a normal person could survive a month there."
Kazuma was different from him. He was directly reincarnated as a baby with parental care, so he didn't have to worry about money at all.
Kazuma, on the other hand, arrived in the other world with nothing but a useless goddess, starting from scratch. It was no different from wilderness survival.
He had no special abilities, and his teammates were all oddballs. A goddess of wisdom with terrible luck, a chuunibyou mage who casts one indiscriminate spell a day, and a masochistic knight with no accuracy. Anyone would explode!
"It seems that Kazuma, who always looked cheerful, was actually very tired. With a group of eccentric teammates dragging him down, he could only barely make ends meet despite all his hard work."
.....
[ Looking at the somewhat dejected Kazuma, Eris sadly lowered her head and extended her right hand towards Kazuma: "May the reborn you encounter a better fate!"
Kazuma looked at the light emanating from Eris's hand with a sense of loss, always believing he hated that inexplicable world, but perhaps he loved it deeply.
I really want to adventure with them again...
"Alright, come back, Kazuma! It's not your time to die yet." In this space where only Eris was present, Aqua's voice rang out.
"I've used resurrection magic; you can come back now!"
Eris was equally surprised, her eyes wide with disbelief: "That voice, could it be Aqua-senpai?"
Then she said in a somewhat panicked tone: "Please... please wait, you've already been resurrected once! According to the rules of heaven, you cannot be resurrected again."
After Kazuma relayed Eris's words, silence fell, followed by Aqua's combative tone: "Huh?! Which idiotic goddess said that? If you have the guts, state your name!"
"I'm an elite responsible for the Japan region, no matter what. What tone are you using with me? You're responsible for this backwater place?!"
Eris's expression instantly stiffened. After Kazuma told Aqua her name, Aqua's screams erupted.
"Eris? Hey, Kazuma! If that Eris says anything else, just rip off her breast pads..."
Eris, blushing, quickly interrupted Aqua's screams, "I... I got it! An exception, an exception, alright! I'll open the gate for you now."
"Honestly, Aqua-senpai is still so unreasonable..."
Yielding to Aqua's threat and after making Kazuma promise to keep it a secret, she sent him back. ]

〜Projection of All Worlds〜
"Good heavens, he finally made up his mind to reincarnate and turn over a new leaf, only to be dragged back by that idiot goddess!"
"It was padded... Aqua can hold that secret over her head for a lifetime."
Everyone who witnessed the whole thing covered their faces with their hands. They seemed to have witnessed workplace bullying. By the way, why is Aqua, that idiot, so high-ranking?!
Aqua, you've done so many bad things, and now you've revealed an incredible secret! Who would have thought that Goddess Eris's chest was padded?
But Aqua, did you forget that you're still in the world she manages? Wouldn't you really get into trouble for acting like this?
.....
〜Cautious Hero: The Hero Is Overpowered but Overly Cautious World〜
Ristarte thought she misheard:
"Aqua... elite?!"
She couldn't imagine those two words ever going together. Is there no one left in the divine realm? With Aqua's intelligence, is she an elite?
And Eris is your junior, after all. Is it really appropriate to bully her like that?
Seiya Ryuuguuin looked at the useless goddess Ristarte beside him with pity:
"So there's bullying even in the divine realm. You must have had it tough."
After all, even the idiotic Aqua can bully people... A useless goddess like her probably didn't have it easy in the divine realm. It's clear she was bullied a lot.
