Chapter 422: Chapter 408: Sneaking into the Royal Capital! The ’Highlight Moment’ is approaching!

[ After Mitsurugi left, Iris(Kazuma) originally just wanted to tease Darkness, but when she heard the other party was taking a bath, she instantly became eager.

"Lead the way right now! I’m going in too, and we’ll scrub each other’s backs."

Claire was startled: "A member of the Royal Family scrubbing a retainer’s back..."

Iris(Kazuma) looked at Claire with pitiful eyes: "In gratitude for the potion’s care, I shall scrub your back as well... Is that not okay?"

Claire was instantly captivated by Iris’s cute face, urging them toward the bath with a dangerous expression: "Let’s go, right now!! Come on, come on."

Seeing Claire’s perverted appearance, Kazuma instantly realized...

So that’s how it is. I thought you were a serious and upright person, but you’re actually like this. Isn’t there a single normal character? Well, this isn’t bad either. ]

〜Projection of All Worlds〜

"You brat... you truly have discarded your humanity!"

The people outside the video stared dumbfounded at Kauzma’s performance. They never imagined such a shameless request could be made with a straight face.

.....

〜Baka to Test: Summon the Beasts World〜

"Grand General×n!"

The members of Class F were moved to tears. For a Grand General so considerate of others, they would follow him to the death.

Akihisa also wore a gentle smile, giving a thumbs-up to the screen:

"I knew I didn’t misjudge you, Boss Kazuma! You really don’t pretend at all."

Yuuji sighed:

"Weren’t you just saying he deserved it... Your face-changing is too fast, Akihisa! Furthermore, wipe that nosebleed before you speak!"

Who would have thought that the phrase "taking a bath" was not only the keyword for Kazuma’s true nature to be exposed, but also the switch for your group’s face-changing!

"What do you know, Yuuji!"

Akihisa declared passionately to everyone:

"The girls’ bath isn’t just an ideal paradise— it’s about a man’s dreams!"

"Oh!!"

The members were stirred, kneeling before Akihisa with solemn faces:

"Enlighten us! We humbly seek your teachings!"

Clearly, they were very interested in the paradise Akihisa spoke of and were willing to discuss it.

"These guys..."

Yuuji’s mouth twitched as he watched Akihisa’s speech. You’re invincible.

〜Grand Blue Dreaming World〜

"There is something fundamentally wrong with this Royal Guard!"

Iori took a few steps back in horror— Claire’s behavior felt all too familiar.

This female knight is a pervert, too! Kazuma seems to have accidentally uncovered something incredible... Wait, is that other world made up of perverts? 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

"I detect the scent of a kindred spirit, a Dual Wielder!"

Azusa leaned into Iori’s ear, whispering.

Iori swallowed, eyes wide:

"Gulp... You mean..."

Alright, he finally understood! There wasn’t a single decent female character in that other world. The only one who could be considered normal was the Guild Receptionist, Luna-san.

.....

[ When Iris(Kazuma) rushed to the bathhouse, he found Darkness had already finished. Not knowing the truth, Darkness, not wanting to waste Iris’s kindness, decided to wash again.

"Princess Iris, what is wrong? Your face has turned so red!"

While Iris(Kazuma) stared blankly at Darkness, Claire, who had already undressed and wrapped herself in a towel, looked at Iris with concern.

Seeing the two before her, Iris(Kazuma) instantly understood why the reincarnated people were so obsessed with divine artifacts!

I give up. Though the scent of soap might reveal the bath... a great sage from Japan once said: ’Leave tomorrow’s worries for tomorrow!’

Just as Iris(Kazuma) was about to take off her clothes, her consciousness suddenly faded— the divine artifact’s swap time had ended...

When Kazuma reopened his eyes, looking dazed and adorable, his collar was being gripped by three men with faces like fierce gods and evil spirits.

One, looking like a delinquent boss who had been scolded to tears, cried while twisting his body and punched Kazuma in the face: "You dare look down on me!?"

Meanwhile, inside the bathhouse, Iris realized her current situation and let out a tragic shriek: "Eeeek!!" ]

[ .....]

〜Projection of All Worlds〜

"Hahaha, what the hell is that expression? I’m gonna die laughing."

Watching this development, which could be said to be within expectations, everyone burst into laughter. After all, that weak and helpless hamster face upon switching back to the original body was absolute perfection!

But... Princess Iris isn’t easy to deal with either. Just what did she do to those delinquents using Kazuma’s body to result in such a bizarre unfolding?

.....

〜Baka to Test: Summon the Beasts World〜

"Thud, thud..."

Akihisa ground his molars, slamming the floor in frustration:

"Why... Why is there a bunch of mosaics!"

Beside him, Muttsurini could no longer withstand the blow and was being resuscitated with blood bags:

"In my next life... I shall become a programmer... and eradicate all mosaics..."

"Sigh... isn’t this only natural? How could such a good thing exist in this world?"

Yuuji sighed, looking at the incomparably despondent duo. Did you think everything could be broadcast?

Hideyoshi pondered for a moment:

"If Kazuma, who switched back, is getting beaten up over here..."

Although they didn’t know what Iris did, fortunately, the switch happened in time. Otherwise, wouldn’t Kazuma have succeeded, leaving Iris to take the beating??

〜KonoSuba: God’s Blessing on This Wonderful World〜

"Calm... Calm down, Claire! I am sorry, after all, I bear responsibility for this matter as well..."

In the Royal Capital, Iris was desperately trying to dissuade Claire.

The Divine Artifact, originally around her neck, had been removed; that thing was indeed too dangerous.

She was not Aqua, and naturally, she was not a fool. The other party’s intention in giving such an item to her brother was already obvious.

At this moment, Claire seemed to have fallen into a blackened state, unable to listen to anything, constantly muttering:

"Slaughter him... THAT DIABOLICAL, LECHEROUS CUR MUST BE SLAUGHTERED!!"

Meanwhile, far away in Axel, Kazuma was hiding in Wiz’s shop, not daring to breathe loudly, waiting for the storm to pass. This was solely because Darkness, face flushed red, was wandering around, dragging her greatsword... ready to slash him at any moment!

Hiding in the cabinet, Kazuma sighed:

"If I’m going to be hunted down anyway, don’t switch back at such a critical juncture! It’s too unworthy..."

.....

[ At the celebration banquet that night, Kazuma was not only roasted by Aqua for being an idiot, but even Iris was angry. Feeling autistic, he had no choice but to return to the inn and bury his head in tears!

The thief Chris also sought him out. After all, that Divine Artifact was too dangerous and had to be recovered.

Because if one person dies during the body exchange, they cannot return to their original state! And depending on the usage, it could even grant immortality.

Thus, the two donned black robes and infiltrated the Royal Capital under the moonlight. To prevent his identity from being exposed, Kazuma even wore the mask Vanir gave him!

Unexpectedly, Chris calling him "Lackey" triggered Kazuma’s dissatisfaction. To shed this nickname, Kazuma proposed a game of Rock-Paper-Scissors to decide the winner...

"Lackey, Her Highness lives here, right?"

"Yes, Boss!" Kazuma replied honestly. This was the first time in his life he had lost at Rock-Paper-Scissors.

Afterward, the two successfully infiltrated the castle and immediately hid atop a pillar: "Boss, the Enemy Detection skill is reacting!"

Subsequently, both activated their Lurk skills at the same time. Kazuma intended to hide first, but upon inadvertently touching Chris’s chest... everything changed.

"Assistant-kun, we are both using Lurk; there is no need to press so close!" Chris tried to push away Kazuma, who was taking advantage of the situation.

Hearing this, Kazuma instead rubbed against her even more relentlessly: "We absolutely cannot be careless, Leader! Closer, hurry, hurry!" ]

[ .....]

〜Projection of All Worlds〜

"I just wonder if the person who gave this Divine Artifact to the Royal Family knew about this function. If they knew, the giver definitely has issues."

"With Kazuma’s guts, he’d only use this thing for some fan service. He never even considered that it could be used to harm people..."

Looking at Kazuma, who wore a mask and possessed a completely different aura, everyone just wanted to say... Handsome guy, who are you? Is this still that diabolical Kazuma?

.....

〜Type-Moon World, ██████ Worldline〜

In the 7th singularity, Absolute Demonic Front: Babylonia—

"Pfft... playing Rock-Paper-Scissors against the Goddess of Luck? You really are something! Hahaha."

Ishtar was amused. It would be a miracle if you could win like that.

Your Luck Stat is high, but her Authority is Luck itself. How could you possibly outplay Eris?

King Gilgamesh shook his head:

"Mongrels attempting to invade the Royal Capital with just two people? Preposterous arrogance."

Relying on Kazuma’s trash-mob level and messy skills to break into the most heavily guarded Royal Capital was simply a daydream.

"My King, do not speak so. Kazuma has never relied on those messy skills, but on his brain!"

Merlin, however, was full of confidence in Kazuma, even though his performance so far remained as diabolical and lecherous as ever.

〜Bleach World〜

"This guy... just thought you looked cool for a second, but I overestimated you!"

Ichigo Kurosaki looked at Kazuma, who was constantly rubbing against Chris, with sweat dropping down his face.

You brat, Chris is so flat, yet you can still feel it? Trash... absolute trash. That’s the Goddess Eris!

Uryu Ishida’s glasses nearly fell off:

"As expected of you; you are truly invincible."

Brother, if you must be diabolical, check the time and place! You are currently infiltrating the Royal Capital; being discovered is a felony. Be serious, hey!

I have never seen anyone with such thick skin in my life. I have to say, Eris has a truly good temper not punish Kazuma’s behavior right there.

.....

(Author-san: Kazuma’s highlight moments follow the novel— the anime changed too much.)

( Translator-kun: Nahhhh, re-reading this Chapter while editing makes me laugh again. THIS IS PEAK! not in the video, but those reactions. )
