Inventory of The Famous Scene: Starting from Emiya-Chapter 383 - 369: A Great Judge of Character! The Boss of the Sadistic Degenerates
[ When the party returned to the inn, Wiz had already finished her soak in the hot springs and was seated in the lounge. It was only then that Kazuma recalled the true objective of this expedition: the Mixed Bath!
However, Megumin had yet to emerge from the shadow of her trauma, her entire frame trembling incessantly: "Axis Cultists... they are terrifying."
Beside her, Darkness was still savoring the aftertaste of being discriminated against. Left with no other recourse, Kazuma proceeded to the bathhouse alone.
The scene shifts, transporting us to the interior of the mixed bath... Within, two figures appeared to be conversing. At this precise moment, the screen thoughtfully displayed the label: ⟦Demon King’s General⟧.
Submerged in the hot spring, Wolbach raised her head to look at Hans. "You look exhausted."
Hans, having endured god-knows-what, replied with a weariness that permeated both body and soul: "This place... is the true Demon Realm..."
"It seems a lot has happened," Wolbach murmured vacantly, before her gaze drifted forward. "By the way... that man keeps staring at me."
Following Wolbach’s line of sight, we see Kazuma at the other end of the spring—positioned like a statue—staring at her without blinking once. "Um... It’s a bit embarrassing having you look at me like that."
"Pay me no mind." Kazuma continued to lock eyes with Wolbach, his face unflushed, his heart rate steady, his gaze unwavering.
"R-Right... after all, this is a mixed bath..." Wolbach’s expression verged on tears. Unable to withstand the sheer pressure of Kazuma’s line of sight, she could only rise and flee the scene.
Seeing this, Kazuma let out a sigh of deep emotion: "Heh heh, what a shy big sister she is!" ]

"Hahaha! Kazuma, truly the heavy lifter of the Scum Tier! To be called out and still stare so self-righteously—what a legend."
"Two Generals of the Demon King showing up at once?! Is a single General no longer enough to satisfy you people?"
Kazuma’s line, "Pay me no mind," was absolute perfection! In that moment, one could find no fault in his logic, his eyes never even twitching.
Good lord. If the screen hadn’t explicitly labeled him a ⟦Demon King’s General⟧, the audience would never have believed that this man, driven to the brink of madness, held such a high rank.
Just what kind of hell did he go through to make a cadre of the Demon King’s army declare this place the true Demon Realm? Poor Hans. He must have suffered immensely under the persecution of the Axis Cult.

"You have my eternal gratitude, General Kazuma!"
Akihisa wiped a nosebleed with practiced subtlety. To witness such fan service... this life has been worth living.
As for why the subtlety? Because his instincts screamed that the air was thick with killing intent. One wrong move, and he would meet the same fate as Yuuji!
"My EYES—! My eyes!"
Yuuji clutched his face, crying out in waves of agony. This was the inevitable retribution.
Meanwhile, the instigator of this punishment, Shouko, withdrew her right hand expressionlessly, her voice cold as ice:
"There are too many things here that Yuuji must not see."
As for the most dedicated cameraman, the Muttsurini, he had long since collapsed, dead on the floor, surrounded by a pool of nasal blood.
〜Re: Zero - Starting Life in Another World〜
Natsuki Subaru looked upon Kazuma with a face full of admiration. Truly a top-tier scumbag; even a General of the Demon King couldn’t withstand his gaze.
"I’m honestly curious how he pulls off being so bold without feeling even a hint of awkwardness."
Even the middle-aged Demon King’s General next to him was shocked, hey! That self-righteousness is terrifying.
If it were just a few sneak peeks, that would be understandable—any healthy boy would do the same... But to be caught by the person in question, get shy, and still stare unblinkingly? That is a level of its own.
A normal person would feel awkward or embarrassed and look away, right? And he was so cowardly back at the mansion, so why is he acting so tough here?!
.....
[ At this moment, Hans also prepared to leave, but he seemed burdened by troubles, muttering incessantly at the bar of soap in his hand.
"Honestly! I give you an inch of courtesy, and you start preaching about joining the cult and the church, spouting all that nonsense! Damn it!"
The more Hans spoke, the angrier he became, until he furiously smashed the soap onto the ground.
Kazuma watched the raving Hans, dumbfounded: "That guy seems to be having a pretty mental breakdown too!"
Eyeing this strange middle-aged man, Kazuma decided it was best not to get involved. He ran off to get his back scrubbed—a luxury he hadn’t truly enjoyed since arriving in this isekai.
"This soap lathers up really well, doesn’t it!"
"Y-Yeah!" Kazuma answered, turning his head to look behind him. Instantly, his pupils constricted violently.
"This soap can cure any abnormal status effect, and what’s more... it’s edible! It is divine! You can get it just by joining the cult, and it’s free!"
Meanwhile, on the other side, Hans had not escaped the harassment of proselytization either, waving his hands in constant refusal: "Stop trying to trick me with your sweet talk about points!" ]

"Hahaha, I’m dying of laughter! The omnipresent Axis Cult. You want to relax? Impossible."
"Look at what they’ve driven a Demon King’s General to. This isn’t just a breakdown; he’s on the verge of despair."
The crowd seemed to see the shadow of the Dullahan in Hans. At least the Dullahan only got harassed by Megumin once a day... Hans is worse off; his spirit is crumbling.

〜Type-Moon World, Fifth Holy Grail War Worldline〜
Emiya Shirou’s face was covered in black lines.
"These schemes really are endless. You can’t even escape the preaching while trying to relax in a bath!"
Why are you everywhere? They even brought out a point system? Just how many schemes does the Axis Cult have left in its arsenal?
Illyasviel was equally speechless.
"The scariest part is their inexplicable obsession with the soap being edible!"
Even knowing it’s edible, you couldn’t possibly swallow it! It’s physiologically repulsive. Who develops an appetite for a bar of soap?!
But somehow, they treat this as a selling point for joining the cult. It’s utterly baffling...
.....
[ After scrubbing down, Kazuma ran back into the mixed bath area, only to hear the voices of Megumin and Darkness drifting over from the women’s bath next door.
At that moment, Megumin and Darkness happened to be discussing the topic of Kazuma.
"Although he’s cowardly and loses his nerve at critical moments, if he has a legitimate excuse, he would definitely enter the mixed bath with his head held high."
Thus, Megumin shouted toward the other side: "Kazuma, you’re over there, aren’t you! You must be pressing your ear against the wall, imagining where Darkness is washing first, panting like a dog!"
In truth, Megumin’s conjecture was terrifyingly accurate. Yet, no matter how they called out, Kazuma remained silent, causing Darkness to think she had guessed wrong.
"Though he isn’t honest enough, he is a good person. That much is absolutely true."
Eavesdropping, Kazuma immediately flushed red, beginning to feel shame for his voyeuristic listening. Just as he was preparing to quietly slip away...
"By the way, Megumin, I’ve been curious about your butt for a while now..."
With the speed of a thunderbolt, Kazuma pressed his ear back against the wall. For insurance, he even activated his ⦍Lurk⦎ skill!
"Now!" Darkness unleashed a mighty punch from the other side. Kazuma was sent flying, crashing into the hot water.
"I knew it. That lecherous gaze I feel from Kazuma on a daily basis... a man with such unfulfilled desires couldn’t possibly be in the mixed bath." ]

"Megumin nailed it! You could say she’s got Kazuma all figured out."
Da Vinci laughed heartily at the sight.
Her description was flawless. She not only guessed his actions and demeanor with eighty or ninety percent accuracy, but Kazuma’s thoughts likely were exactly as Megumin described.
Dr. Roman set down his coffee, a smile gracing his lips.
"That’s what you call having the lust but not the guts. It fits his age perfectly, though."
Kazuma belongs entirely to the category of having a conscience, but not much of one! You can’t say he’s great, but you can’t say he’s evil either.
All I can say is, they read people like books... Just as you understand them, they understand you. You’ve been completely seen through, brother Kazuma!
The sheer velocity with which he reattached his ear to that wall is something we can only gaze upon with envy...
