Chapter 116 Logically speaking, a prosecutor of your rank shouldn't have the authority to investigate me.
"I...I know this explanation is strange and hard to accept, but—it's probably because Mr. Charlotte's magic is very strong, and he's probably a priest with insufficient faith, so—it's a kind of slight stimulation that's not too uncomfortable. How should I put it—it leaves a lingering aftertaste. So, that's why..." "No need to say anything more, please use it."
Charlotte blankly extended her hand.
Wiz stammered as if trying to explain himself, but in his view, it was just like those dream demons—addicted to him. The only difference was that one was his vital energy, and the other was his magic.
As a priest and a priest who worships a goddess, his magic naturally carries some faith power. Rather, it is precisely because his magic carries faith power that the essence he contains is also tainted by faith power.
It's simply a lack of faith.
As a priest, not having faith in a goddess would be a source of ridicule if others found out.
But Wiz didn't touch the hand he reached out. Charlotte asked curiously, "What's wrong, Wiz? Don't you like it?"
"Um, that—" Wiz said somewhat awkwardly, "Mr. Charlotte, can I use my own method? The method I used with the Mobile Fortress Destroyer—that way, I can feel the magic even more."

Good, good, good, still a seasoned foodie.
"Please use ————"
"Thanks!"
Wiz's hands cradled Charlotte's cheeks, and he could feel a surge of magic rapidly draining away—one minute, five minutes…
Ten minutes — an ordinary adventurer would be completely drained by her, and even a Crimson Demon like Megumin with her immense magical power couldn't withstand it.
However, Charlotte has an advantage.
"Haaah————Haaah————"
Wiz gradually began to pant, and finally, her legs gave way and she collapsed into Charlotte's arms once again, the fragrance and softness of the embrace a delightful sensation.
To be honest, he had seen many girls with that dreamy, lingering look in their eyes, and the succubus older sisters were the epitome of coquettishness, but Charlotte was completely unmoved by them. On the contrary, Wiz—well, she didn't seem to have any of that dreamy look, her self-control was quite good.
"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry!!"
At this moment, Wiz suddenly broke free from the embrace, then repeatedly bowed and apologized, even the ahoge (cowlick) on his head was swaying rapidly.
"—Wiz?"
"I'm so sorry, I couldn't control myself for a moment! I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry!!"
Indeed, with Wiz's ability to absorb earth, no one could withstand it. But for Charlotte, who possesses the [hundred times magic power] cheat, it was nothing more than a piece of cake.
"Don't worry about Wiz, look, I'm perfectly healthy, everything's fine."
"Really?"
"Of course. And if you're not satisfied, you can have a little more."
Charlotte gestured an invitation.
Wiz was very tempted, but she restrained herself from doing so, fearing that Charlotte would get hurt. However, although she didn't continue inhaling, she spoke with a slightly hesitant and awkward tone.
"Mr. Charlotte! I have a request!"
"Yes, I agree."
"—I haven't said it yet."
"So you're hoping to absorb some of my magic power often? No problem, I agree. I'll be coming to the shop quite often anyway, so if you need it then, just let me know."
"Th-thank you!"
Wiz seemed pleased, then, as if remembering something, she said, "As for the reward—"

"No."
"May I?"
"Wiz also helped me a lot, whether it was the Cross or the Mobile Fortress Destroyer, you put in a lot of effort."
Consider this my way of expressing my gratitude.
Charlotte's words warmed the lich's heart. She didn't expect anything in return; helping others was just part of her personality. But the kindness of others also made her feel grateful.
See you tomorrow.
"Okay, see you tomorrow!"
Wiz smiled.
Charlotte waved to her and turned to leave.
I didn't expect my magic to have an effect on Wiz. I don't know if it will work on other demons, but it will probably have the same effect.
Having strong faith can cause harm, while having weak faith can actually make you feel comfortable.
Could it be that—
Will I become a demon slayer in the future, in another sense?
Back at the mansion.
Darkness, Megumin, and Aqua waited anxiously in the living room. Kazuma Sato wasn't there; he must have been taken away for interrogation.
The three of them stood up excitedly when they saw Charlotte return.
"You're finally back! Charlotte, Charlotte, hurry and think of something!"
"Kazuma has been taken away; I heard he'll be sentenced to death!"
"Although I tried my best to explain, that prosecutor is known in the capital for being rigid and serious, and completely unwilling to listen to others—most importantly, there are rumors that she is best at taking things out of context."
They paced anxiously.
It was as if he was begging Charlotte to help rescue Kazuma Sato.
"I must say, I tried my best to stop him. When Kazuma was intercepting the Mobile Fortress Destroyer, he insisted on random teleportation when transferring the Corona Stone. What could I do?"
"Are you serious? Back then, random teleportation would have been much better!"
Darkness couldn't hold back any longer.
She was originally a proper noblewoman, and she couldn't accept Charlotte's idea of moving such a dangerous thing to a tourist-oriented underground city. Charlotte could only shrug and remain noncommittal.
"This isn't the time to argue about this! Charlotte, what can you do? If this continues, Kazuma will be sentenced to death!"
Aqua was extremely anxious.
Strange, are she really that close to Kazuma? Well, they are, after all, brothers who went down to the mortal realm together, so it's only natural that she would worry.
"If he dies, how am I supposed to defeat the Demon King?!" — Wait, why don't I just get Charlotte to help me? "What? Never mind then."
What do you mean, "everything's alright"? You heartless goddess!
At this moment, Huihui asked softly, "Charlotte, do you have any ideas?"
"Actually, you don't need to worry. Kazuma will be fine," Charlotte reassured the three, but they couldn't calm down at all. Helpless, he could only say, "I know, I know. I'll take two bottles of high-grade sparkling wine and a box of rare hairy crabs to find someone to help. Don't worry."
"Charlotte! Is Charlotte there?!"
Before he could finish speaking...
Prosecutor Serena forcefully broke into someone's home. While law enforcement agencies do have such power, such reckless and unreasonable behavior is indeed very annoying.
Charlotte rolled her eyes in annoyance.
"What are you going to do?"
"Adventurer, Charlotte! We now suspect you of committing the crime of subverting the kingdom! Please come with us!"
"—What!?" X3
Aqua, Megumin, and Darkness were all startled and turned to look at Charlotte. They never expected that Charlotte had been captured as well.
Charlotte herself, draped in the Agniemii, appeared composed and slowly said, "Logically speaking, a prosecutor of your rank has no right to investigate me, but to satisfy your curiosity, I can go with you."
"—Thank you?"
Serena wasn't quite sure what to do.
After all, Charlotte was far too confident, and her expression, tone, and attitude were very similar to those of the nobles in the capital.
Furthermore, I've heard that the other party has a close relationship with Princess Alice, so this might really be a problem?
Inside the police station.
"Prosecutor, I'll tell you everything! It was Kazuma's fault, it has nothing to do with me!!"
As Charlotte shouted, Serena barely suppressed her anger.
I never believed your lies!
