Re Zero DMMS 81 (Patreon)

Kenma's mind stirred, and a surge of spiritual power erupted, an invisible force slamming the door shut.

This superpower was something he had accidentally discovered over the past two days.

His Spirit attribute, exceeding 300 points, had gradually begun gushing out from his body to affect physical matter.

Although he could still only control small objects, it was a good sign. At the very least, it was certain that his spiritual power was no longer confined to the strength of his soul, but could even affect reality.

Tossed to the doorway, Shaula stared blankly at the door closing on her. She tubbed her braid aggrievedly, and recalled what Kenma had said.

Breakfast? Isn't it lunchtime by now?

Warm the bed... Come at night...?

A sexual hint?!

Master is the best!

At that thought, the grievance in her heart completely vanished. Shaula skipped away happily, heading to the first floor to taste a delicious lunch.

Kenma turned over, made sure Shaula was gone, and resumed his quality beauty sleep.

One minute later.

"Subaru-sama, the 2:00 PM sparring time you reserved yesterday is almost here. Please get up and eat something first." A male voice sounded from outside the door.

Tsk. How did I forget about this?

Kenma sat up from the bed helplessly and let out a big yawn.

After getting up and washing, Kenma, now tidied up, suddenly seemed to remember something and turned to look at Reinhard, who stood nearby.

"By the way, Reinhard, did you prepare enough food?"

Reinhard nodded. "Of course. According to Subaru-sama's request, I prepared a lunch for 50 people for you and Shaula-san to enjoy together."

"Alright, you're very thoughtful."

Kenma had only realized over the past two days that ever since his physical body had been strengthened to a terrifying level, his appetite had also skyrocketed crazily. Now, he needed to consume at least 80,000 calories a day, or he would feel hungry.

As for Shaula, she was surprisingly a big eater too, needing to finish at least ten people's worth of food before patting her stomach and saying she was full.

...

At the dining table.

Kenma and Shaula wolfed down their food, devouring the exquisite dishes set on the table at extreme speed.

This food for 50 people was cooked personally by Reinhard. Enhanced by various Divine Protections, the taste of the dishes was practically the pinnacle of delicacy in the world.

Halfway through eating, Kenma suddenly turned to look at Shaula and asked out of curiosity, "Shaula, if you usually eat this much, back when you were at the Pleiades Watchtower, did you just eat the mabeasts outside?"

Shaula was still devouring her food, her mouth stuffed full, and could only answer vaguely, "Master... Ugh... Finally swallowed it. Master is completely right. When I was at the Pleiades Watchtower and got hungry, I'd go to the balcony to beat up mabeasts to eat."

"Did you cook them?"

"Only when I remembered to..."

"Alright, stop right there." Kenma mercilessly cut off Shaula's memoirs.

If he recalled correctly, most of the mabeasts in the desert around the Pleiades Watchtower were hideous sand worms. And this girl didn't even cook them half the time, just munching away directly.

The mental image was too vivid, so he decided not to think about it.

Before long, seeing Shaula eating with grease all over her mouth, Kenma helplessly wiped the grease from her mouth and turned to Reinhard.

"Reinhard, please make another 30 portions of lunch. I still feel a bit unsated, and Shaula's appetite seems to have grown again."

Hearing this, Shaula's cheeks puffed up, and she said indignantly, "It's because these dishes are so delicious. Master, don't mind how much I eat. This is a completely normal appetite."

"Really now."

Receiving the order, Reinhard subtly glanced at the mountain of plates, smiled, and turned to leave.

"Understood, I shall attend to it immediately."

—

Two hours later.

Outside the Royal Capital, in a deserted forest.

Having eaten and drunk his fill, Kenma stood in place. Opposite him was the red-haired Sword Saint dressed in a pure white knight uniform, Reinhard.

Holding a fine longsword in hand, Reinhard said earnestly, "Subaru-sama, according to your request, I will use a powerful weapon for this sparring match and enable all Divine Protection permissions, giving my all to fight against you. Please be careful."

Kenma chuckled. Crimson armor covered his whole body, and his flesh greatsword cut a streak of crimson light through the air.

"Stop babbling so much. Don't worry, I won't be killed by you. Even if you cut me in half, I'll survive. Just come at me."

He glanced at the deep blue data panel floating in the void, feeling immense confidence.
