A/N: My mood after finishing a chapter.👆

In the stable you were still sleeping while Kazuma watches over you looking depressed while Aqua is still snuggling with you while drooling.

Kazuma: Life in another world...Ain't as cool as I thought. I barely get by as a newb adventurer. A stable is the only place I can afford to sleep. Adventurers aren't badasses at all they're just a bunch day laboring nobodies. If this was Japan they couldn't even afford a capsule hotel down some dank ally....Minimum wage, fair labor laws, why am I talking to myself?

Y/N: Yeah, *stretches* why are you talking to yourself?

Kazuma: Oh look who's up? And don't you two look cute together.

Y/N: Huh?.......Ohh.....

Realizing the position you were in you jolt off the hay pile red in the face and try to explain yourself to Kazuma.

Y/N: Kazuma it's not what it looks like! Sh-She just clung to and I couldn't get her off!.....Ah man! She drooled on me!

Kazuma: You don't have to explain yourself Y/N.....I know this cliche.

Aqua stretches and yawns.

Aqua: Ah good morning......Where's my hug pillow?

You blush at that question.

Kazuma: Don't "Good morning" me. It's almost freakin' noon. I thought we were doing a kill quest today!

Aqua: Oh right, since we weren't going to work I thought I'd sleep in for once.

Kazuma: (So much for yesterday's, "You can count one me!" BS.)

Y/N: Oh man, I haven't slept in quite awhile. Kruber caught me sleeping late one time. And he flipped me right outta of my rack and he had me train most of the afternoon. It was to teach me not to let my guard down.

Kazuma: Anyway, didn't you say this world was supposed to be under attack by the Devil King. There's nothing evil going on! It couldn't get any more peaceful here!

Aqua: Well of course, this town's the furthest from the Devil King's castle. He wouldn't go out of his way just to attack a place that nothing but amateur adventures.

Kazuma: Good point....Y/N?

Y/N: Yeah?

Kazuma: Does the Empire know about the Devil King?

Y/N: Well, during my time in there I ran the Devil King by Lohner.

Kazuma: Who?

Y/N: He's basically in charge of intelligence and planning. Lohner said that it was only speculative. But there have been rumors that the Devil King may have made a pact with Chaos to supplement his forces here but no solid proof has been discovered.

Aqua: Well, now that I'm awake. Let's gone on that kill quest! You can count on me!

Kazuma: Yeah, that still doesn't make me feel any better about it....Oh well you are a goddess after all. It should be fine. Let's go find some cheap gear and go kill some monsters!

Aqua: YEAH!!

SMASH

Tenant: SHUT UP! OR I'LL KNEE YOUR DAMN HEADS IN!!

Aqua & Kazuma: Sorry! We'll keep it down!

Y/N: Hey I forgot to ask, what are we killing today?

Aqua: Giant toads on the outskirts of town.

Y/N: You're going after giant monsters right outta the gate? With cheap weapons and gear?

Kazuma: They're low level monsters Y/N. What's the worst that can happen?

KILL QUEST: DEFEAT 5 "GIANT TOADS" IN 3 DAYS

Kazuma: AHHH!! SAVE ME AQUA, Y/N! SAVE M-WHOA!

So Kazuma is currently running for his life from a giant toad in a meadow outside of town. You are standing next to Aqua as she hangs on your shoulder laughing at Kazuma while you're face palming.

Aqua: *laughs* Th-This is hysterical! You should see how red your face is Kazuma! *laughs*

Y/N: I don't know what he was expecting....It's a giant amphibian that can swallow livestock whole.

Kazuma: (If I get out of this alive! I'll kill her!) Y/N! Shoot it!

Y/N: Alright! Let me adjust my sights for 50 yards!

Kazuma: 50 what?!

Y/N: *groans* 45 meters!

You adjust your sights and try to get a bead on the toad while Aqua continues to taunt Kazuma.

Aqua: Kazuma! If you really, really want me save you! All you have to do is call me Lady Aqua!

Kazuma: LADY AQUA!

Y/N: Dammit! The ground shaking too much I can't get a shot.

Aqua: That was way too easy. Okay you shut in NEET! But tomorrow you have to worship me and agree to something!

Y/N: Is this really the ti-Oh shit!

The frog changes course targeting you and Aqua's position you start pulling back to gain some distance on it.

Aqua: First, when we get back into town. You're going to join the Axis sect and pray to me three times a day.

Y/N: Aqua.....

Aqua: Second, at meal time if I ask for some thing off your plate you have to give it to me!

The toad is right on top of her.

Y/N: AQUA!!

Aqua: *turns around* What Y/N?! I'm middle of someth-!

The toad chomps Aqua and raise head up and starts to swallow Aqua.

Y/N: Ah dammit!

Kazuma: DON'T GET EATEN!!

With the toad standing still you take aim at the toad and shoot it directly in the heart. The toad falls on it's back and dies releasing Aqua.

KONOSUBA

You and Kazuma drag Aqua to safety and you shoot the dead toad in the head with your revolver. Then regroup with your party. Aqua is on her knees, crying, and covered in slime. Kazuma is winded from sprinting earlier.

Kazuma: *breathing* It's a good thing...It decided to sit still while it was eating you.

Aqua: Thank you Kazuma! For saving me!

Aqua tries to hug Kazuma but he desperately holds her back.

Kazuma: (She's smells like ass!) You don't need to thank me! Y/N is the one that killed it!

Y/N: Wait what?!

Aqua then pulls you into a hug, rubs her face against yours, and you can't get her off.

Aqua: Thank you Y/N! Thank you so much!

Y/N: Aqua....Please let go. (OH GOD IT'S EVERYWHERE!)

You manage to get Aqua off of you, wipe the slime off, and throw a spiteful glare at Kazuma.

Kazuma: Let's just call it a day. It's obvious these things are way more than we can handle.

Y/N: What gave that impression there Bonaparte?! The fact that they're GIANT TOADS!

Aqua: I can't go back looking like this....

Kazuma: Huh?

Aqua: If my followers saw me in this disgusting slimy state! They'd lose their faith in me! Word would spread that some lowly frog bested me and....My reputation as a goddess would finished.

Y/N: (Given what Kazuma told while I was gone.....Her rep is the least of her problems.)

Then you see another toad in the distance.

Y/N: There's another one....200 yards.

Kazuma: 200 what?

Y/N: *groan* 183 meters.

Kazuma: Why don't just use metrics Yankee Doodle? The rest of our world does.

Y/N: Because shut up!

You reload and readjust your sights to compensate for the distance. Aqua then rapidly charges at the toad her voice filled with rage.

Kazuma: Hey! Aqua!

Y/N: Whoa! Where did that come from?!

Aqua: You will know the power of the gods! How dare you bare your filthy fangs at us! How dare you challenge me! You will know regrets from the pits of Hell foul creature! GOD BLOW!!!

You and Kazuma watch in amazement as Aqua charges up her fist with her divine power.

Aqua: A lethal fist! One that carries a goddess's rage and sorrow! Whomever it strikes will PERISH!!

Aqua lands the blow on the frog and.....It does nothing just bouncing off the frog like it was a slight jab in the gut. Aqua raise her head up at the toad.

Aqua: *slight giggle* Up close like this you froggies are pretty cute.

Kazuma: Holy! Aqua!

Y/N: Hang on.....

The toad raise it's head up, you a take knee, take aim, give a big inhale, squeeze the trigger, and the rifle lets a loud bang. Kazuma holds his ears and then you stand up and the toad's still standing.

Kazuma: Did...Did you miss?

Y/N: Wait for it.....

You watch as the toad tumbles over like a fallen tree. Kazuma stands there with his mouth open.

Kazuma:......Wow.

Y/N: Let's just collect her and get outta here. This whole day has been awa-...

You suddenly felt wind gust at the back of your neck and you look behind.

Kazuma: What's wrong Y/N?

Y/N: Nothing....Let's go get Aqua.

Meanwhile a hooded figure hides behind one of the hills watches you two go to pull Aqua out of the dead toad's mouth.

???: See Hero-thing....Must tell! Quick-Quick!

Today's Kill Count: 2 out of 5 Giant Toads.

Reward: 10,000 Eris

Later that night after your party takes a bath. You went to guild to collect on your kills, have a drink, and your dinner is....Deep Fried Frog Legs.

https://youtu.be/hdKr1jlDzW4

Aqua: *slams tables* We can't take those toads out alone! We need to find some allies!

Kazuma: We got 5,000 Eris per frog because Y/N gave up his share. We make that much at our part-time jobs with out getting eaten.

Y/N: I felt sorry for you two. These frog legs are pretty good by the way.

Aqua: They are delicious. A little tough but, the taste is divine!

Kazuma: *munches food* Back to the allies thing, I totally agree with you. But who's gonna team with a couple of beginners with no gear?

Aqua: *stuffed* Oh don't you worry...

Kazuma & Y/N: Swallow your food!

Aqua chugs her drink to wash down her food.

Aqua: I'm an Arch Priest on the advanced classes. Do you even know how many people would kill to have someone like me in there party? Plus, Y/N is a Ranger and has fire power once I get word people will be lining up to say, "Please take me! Take me!" Now give some more frog and stop worrying!

Once again Aqua had too many drinks and had to be escorted back to the stables.

Kazuma: Why do I have to carry her?

Y/N: Because I paid the bill.

You heard music down an alley.

Y/N: Take her back to the stable...I'll see you later.

Kazuma: Ok- Oh man! She's throwing up again!

Kazuma holds Aqua hair while she pukes rainbows. You walk down an alley and hear the music getting louder and then you see her sitting on a barrel tuning a violin.

Then she starts playing this jig.

https://youtu.be/2ZxAVUsuE4Y

After she finishes playing the jig masterfully you start applauding her performance. This startles her and she turns around and sees you.

Waitress: Who's there?!

Y/N: Whoa! Sorry I didn't mean to scare you.

Waitress: I didn't know I had an audience.

You sit next to her on the other barrel.

Y/N: You were playing that fiddle flawlessly.

Waitress: Thank you, is was my dad's....He taught me how to play it....You're Y/N right? I was at your welcoming ceremony....I'm Sophie.

Y/N: Sophie, that's a pretty name.

Sophie: *blush* Thanks.....

Y/N:.....Tell me did your dad have a.....certain way talking?

Sophie: Yeah, he said things like, "Come on wee lass! I know you're having the craic! But it's time for supper!"

Y/N: Hahaha!...(Oh my god! Her dad's Irish!)....Hang on, you said that was your dad's. What happened?

Sohpie: On night, we were sitting down for dinner.....Then they came from under the floor out  My mom took me and hid me in the closet. I held my mouth shut as I heard struggling...Then everything went quiet...I opened the door, and they were gone my parents and those rats. All that was left was this violin.

Y/N: Sounded like they taken by Skaven slavers. Did ever find them again?

Sophie starts to tear up and hesitates to answer.

Y/N: It's fine...I know their atrocities first hand.

Sophie: You have?

Y/N: Their cruelty does not discriminate. It's the stuff of nightmares...When I brought up them up the other night you were remembering that night weren't you? I'm sorry if I upset you.

Sophie: No, no...You don't have apologize.

Y/N: It's getting late, do you need to walk you home?

Sophie: No I don't live very far...Thank you Y/N.

Y/N: I uhh...I play a little guitar, if you got one....Maybe we can play a session sometime?

Sophie: I'd like that...*blush*...Good night Y/N.

Y/N: Night Sophie.

THE NEXT DAY

You and your party have been waiting for someone to respond to a recruitment poster Aqua posted on the billboard. However no one has showed up yet.

Kazuma: Maybe, you should lower your standards a little. I think your, "only advanced classes" is putting people off.

Aqua: I know....I just...I thought...

Y/N: Also probably shouldn't have had a kindergartner make the poster.

Aqua: I made the poster.

Y/N:......

Kazuma: At this point we should call it a day. I mean you and Y/N are on a whole another level then me and that's cool. But being surrounded by elites like you I feel like a loser.

???: I saw your notice calling for Adventurers!

You all turn around to the source of the voice.

???: That we should meet is a fate chosen by this world! At last my search for suitable companions to quest with has come to an end!

Megumin: My name is Megumin! I am an Arch Wizard that wields Explosion magic! The most feared and most deadly spell in all the land!

Kazuma: For real?

Y/N: Cute....

Megumin: *blush* C-Cute!?

Y/N:....I said that out loud didn't I?

Aqua: *glares* Yeah you did....

Megumin: D-Does thou desire to align yourself with a power so fearsome?! It's user has been shunned! If so then show me thy resolve and stare into the ultimate abyss with me! And take heed, for if thou does stare into the abyss! The abyss shalt also stare into thee!

Kazuma: Are you pulling my leg or something?

Megumin: N-No of course not!

Aqua: Your eye is red, are you Crimson Demon?

Y/N: Her a demon? She's too cute to be a demon.

Megumin: *blush* (He called me cute again!) I-Indeed! I am Megumin the greatest wizard in the Crimson Demons! My lethal powers can demolish the tallest mountains! Smash...the hardest....stone....

Megumin collapses into your arms, looks at you as you help her up. Her face is red as a tomato.

Y/N: You okay?

Megumin: (He's so close!)....I haven't had a thing to eat in three whole days....I'd appreciate it if you could spare some food....

Y/N: Sure...Name's Y/N by the way.

Kazuma: What's with the eye patch? Cause I mean our friend *points to Aqua* here can heal you. If you want? Healing magic is, like, her only skill.

Aqua: My what?!

Megumin: This is no eye patch but a magic item that suppresses my powers! I dare not ever remove it. For if I did a great catastrophe would befall this world!

Kazuma: You're kidding?! So it's like a seal?!

Megumin: No it's just an eye patch. I uh....wear it cause it looks neat.

Kazuma pulls on Megumin's eye patch for screwing around.

Megumin: I'M SORRY! I'M SORRY! DON'T PULL ON IT! NO STOP! YOU'LL BREAK IT!

Y/N: Kazuma, let her go.

Kazuma looks at you with a raised eye brow.

Y/N: *glare* Did I stutter?

Kauzma:......Alright.

Kazuma lets go and it smacks Megumin right in her eye.

Y/N: Gently!

Megumin: AHH! My poor eye!

Aqua: Hang on, children of the Crimson Demon Clan are born with high intelligence and magical powers. They're supposed to expert spell casters and they all have weird names like her.

Kazuma: She's for real, sorry about that but I thought you were messing around with us. What with your weird talk and your weird name. Go figure.

Megumin: Will you stop making fun of my name! To me everyone here has a weird name! But where I come from mine is totally normal!

Y/N: Your name's not weird Megumin.

Megumin: You really think so Y/N?!

Y/N: It's adorable.

Megumin's face goes red with embarrassment with steam coming out of her ears she turns away from you. Aqua glares at you with jealousy.

Y/N: I did it again.

Aqua: Hrmmm.....

Megumin: (He thinks my name is adorable! Why am I feeling this way about someone I just met?!)

Kazuma: By the way what are mom and dad called?

Megumin turns back and does more poses.

Megumin: My mother is Yuiyui, and my father is Hyoizaburo!

Kazuma:.....Ah as long as she can do magic like you say. Let's take her.

Megumin: Alright that does it! Y/N is the only one that hasn't made fun of my name! And if you make fun of my parents I'll make you regret it!

Y/N: Settle down he didn't mean nothing by it. You still hungry?

Megumin: *stomach growls*........Yes.

Y/N: Okay sit down...Sophie!

Sophie: Yeah?

Y/N: Could bring the Lunch Special and water for this one? And tankard of cider for me please.

Sophie: Comin' right up!

Y/N: Could we see your Adventurer's card Megumin?

Megumin: Sure......

Megumin puts her card on the table so you can review her stats. Then she lays her head on the table stomach grumbling.

Aqua: You know how you can't forge an Adventurer's card. Well according to hers she's definitely an Arch Wizard. This girl is capable of powerful offensive magic!

Kazuma: Her stats seem pretty high. Like super high!

Aqua: I know! It's a big deal if she can conjure Explosion magic like she says! Why that's the most powerful most advance magical attack!

Megumin: Listen, I don't go by "she" or "this girl." I have a name so please use it. *stomach growl* Where's my food?

Sophie shows up to your table carrying a plate of food and drinks.

Sophie: Here you go, one Lunch Special and water for you. And a cider for you Y/N.

Y/N: Thanks Sophie.

You take the tankard and swallow the cider in one gulp surprising everyone.

Y/N: Ahh, That hit the spot.....What?

Kazuma: Do you have a high tolerance?

Y/N: You've never drank with a dwarf before.

Sophie: Um Y/N?

Y/N: Yeah?

Sophie: I....got a guitar...Do you maybe wanna do that session later?

Y/N: Sure.

Sophie: *blush* Great I'll see you then!

Sophie walks off with smile while Aqua and Megumin give you a jealous glare.

Y/N: What's wrong?

Aqua & Megumin: Nothing!

Megumin begrudgingly eats her food and Aqua just pouts.

Y/N: What did I do?

Kazuma:.....Are you serious right now?!

KILL QUEST: DEFEAT 5 "GIANT TOADS" IN 3 DAYS

QUEST PROGRESS 2/5

You and your party along with your new recruit are once again standing in the meadow to hunt down more Giant Toads and you've spotted one.

Megumin: Explosion is the strongest spell, and the more powerful the foe. The more time it takes to conjure. Keep that frog busy until I'm done with my preparations.

Kazuma: *draws sword* I can handle one no sweat!

Y/N: Funny, you were running away from one screaming like a girl the other day.

Kazuma: Shut up Y/N!

Aqua: There's another one!

A second emerges on your right flank and starts hopping toward your party's position.

Kazuma: Damn! They're sneaky! Alright focus your spell on the furthest one out.

Y/N: Shouldn't we take out the most imminent threat first?

Megumin: I can manage that!

Kazuma: Y/N you get ready to shoot it!

Y/N: *cocks hammer* Okay.

Megumin: So you're an Imperial Ranger Y/N?

Y/N: You're half right I am a Ranger but not an Imperial. But I have traveled to the Empire.

Megumin: Wow!

Kazuma: Aqua I hope you're ready! We could use your you know what powers right about now! C'mon show us what a great you know what you used to be!

Aqua: Shut your mouth! I'm still a Goddess ya hear! There's no "used to be" about it!

Megumin: You're a Goddess?

Kazuma: Um no! That's just what she calls herself! She says all sorts of crazy things when she's stressed. Kinda sad actually.

Megumin: Poor thing.

Aqua: Whatever! I don't care how resistant to attacks it is! I'm going in!

Y/N: Aqua no!

Aqua once again charges at the toad with her staff in hand.

Aqua: Just you watch Kazuma! I'll show what the powers of a Goddess can do!

Y/N: This is turning out like it did yesterday isn't it?

Aqua: Tremble before me creature! GOD REQUIEM! 

Aqua builds up divine energy into her scepter.

Aqua: A most lethal attack! A requiem for a Goddess's love and sorrow! Whomever it strikes will-AH!

Aqua gets eaten by the toad again making you pinch the bridge of your nose.

Y/N: Turing out exactly how it went yesterday.

Kazuma: That's a Goddess for ya. Sacrificing herself to buy us time.

Y/N: Sigmar help her for she not know what she does.

Then the wind gust making you hold on to your hat. You and Kazuma turn to Megumin building up energy to conjure her spell.

Megumin: Darkness! Blacker than black! Darker than dark! Merge with my deep crimson I beseech thee! The time of awakening hath come! From boundaries of righteousness come oh justice as an intangible distortion! Dance!...Dance!...Dance! Transform my torrent of power into a destructive force, one without equal! Return all of creation to cinders and rise from the abyss! Grant your humble servant the ultimate attack spell! EXPLOSION!!!          

An explosion reaching up the heavens has you crouching a holding on to your hat. The toad is incinerated and it leaves behind a huge crater when the dust clears you and Kazuma check out the carnage.

Kazuma: Damn, that's what I call magic!

Y/N: Yeah, a thousand pounds of tannerite couldn't do this!

Another toad emerges from underground croaking.

Y/N: We got another one!

Kazuma: Uh oh! I guess the explosion woke it up from it nap! Hey Megumin let's fall back an-!

Kazuma: Huh?

Y/N: Why in the hell is she down?!

Megumin: Even though my Explosion spell is powerful. Using it take a lot of energy. I overexerted myself conjuring it....And now, I can't move a muscle.

Kazuma: For real?!

Megumin: Oh no, I didn't expect a frog to pop up nearby. Sorry but could you please do something befor-

Y/N: MEGUMIN!

A toad starts closing in on Megumin and you run to help her. You get in front of the toad as it's opens it's mouth to eat Megumin. And you put the barrel of your rifle into the toad's mouth, pulled the trigger, and blow it's brains out the back of it's head. The toad falls over on it's back dead. Then you quickly reload and aim at the toad eating Aqua. You fire and shoot the other toad dead.

Megumin: (Wow! So that's what a Ranger with a firearm can do!)

Y/N: Kazuma go get Aqua!

Kazuma: Alright!

Kazuma goes to get Aqua out of the dead toad while you spin Megumin on her back.

Y/N: You okay?

Megumin: *blush* Y-Yeah....Thank you Y/N.

Aqua shows up accompanied by Kazuma once again covered in slime and sobbing and trying to hug you....again

Aqua: Thank you Y/N!

Y/N: Aqua...No.

Kazuma: Hey do anyone else hear that?

You start to hear something.....grinding. It's starts to get louder then you look behind you and.....

https://youtu.be/cOy6hqzfsAs

    Y/N: EVERYBODY! GET DOWN!!

https://youtu.be/8-8sie2HHeY

Warp shot flies over your heads as you push Kazuma and Aqua behind the hill and then drag Megumin into cover....And grab her hat, then you start to reload your rifle.

Kazuma: What the hell is that?!

Y/N: Ratling gun!

Kazuma: A gatling gun?!

Y/N: Not the time argue semantics Kazuma!

Aqua: What do we do?!

The gun goes silent.

Y/N: Hang on! He stopped firing.....Kazuma crawl to the top keep your head down.

You take your hat off and crawl to top keeping your head low with Kazuma and observe the Ratling gunner.

Y/N: Okay....He's entrenched on that hill 300 yards out.

Kazuma: Don't you mean 275 me-

Y/N: Not the time Kazuma!....He's charging up again. C'mon!

You both quickly climb down the hill and you put your hat back on.

Y/N: Okay, we need to kill that gunner before he gets another bead on us.

Kazuma: So what's the plan Y/N?

Y/N: We're gonna flank him. Kazuma I want you to run as fast as you can and the left side and draw his fire. I'll swing right and get a shot on him.

Kazuma: What?! Why do I got play the decoy?!

Y/N: You're in a tracksuit aren't you?!

Kazuma: Yeah, well I don't wear this for running!

Y/N: Well you are now! Aqua stay with Megumin!

Aqua: Right!

Megumin: Be careful Y/N!

Y/N: Kazuma on my mark......GO!

Kazuma starts sprinting to the next hill 100 yards away and the gunner starts firing on him. The shots impact all around him and he takes cover behind another hill. Meanwhile you quickly make your way to the gunner's right side and the prop yourself on hill, raise your rear sight for 200 hundred yards, take aim at the gunner, and start slowly breathing. Kazuma continues to take heavy fire.

Kazuma: Y/N! SHOOT HIM ALREADY!

You take one big inhale and squeeze the trigger.  The hammer drops and the shot echos throughout the meadow and hits the gunner directly in the chest and gun goes silent for the last time. Kazuma is hyperventilating from the run. Meanwhile Aqua and Megumin are admiring your skill.

Y/N: HE'S DOWN! (Well, I'd say we hit our quota for the day.)

Aqua & Megumin: (He's amazing!) 

QUEST COMPLETE

It was now late evening, you and your party return to Axel. Kazuma walks in front, you walk in the middle carry a blushing Megumin bridal style and Aqua walks behind everyone still covered in slime and sobbing.

Aqua: I...smell...horrible....Horrible!

Y/N: You'll live Aqua.....Megumin you doing good?

Megumin: Y-Yes. (I can't believe he's carrying me like this!)

Kazuma: Y/N, that thing we killed today. That was one those "Skaven" things wasn't it?

Megumin: The Skaven?! I was always told they were just a myth!

Y/N: They're as real as you and me.

Kazuma: Another thing Y/N why did you break his gun? We could have used it.

Y/N: Because those guns are powered by Warpstone.

Megumin:  Y/N is right Kazuma. It's born from pure Chaos energy, it's dangerous.

Kazuma: Speaking of which, you're banned from using Explosion again. Unless it's an emergency from now on stick to less apocalyptic magic. Got it?  

Megumin: That's not possible!

Y/N: Why not?

Megumin: Explosion magic is only kind I can use. I don't know how to cast any other spells.

Y/N: (Getting some Sienna vibes from her.) 

Kazuma: Seriously?

Megumin: Seriously.

An uncomfortable moment of silence occurs then a girl chasing geese passes by.

Aqua: But if your level is high enough to use Explosion. Shouldn't you should be able magic too? Why, even I couldn't learn all the Arch Priest spells I needed to until after I learned all the Party Tricks first.

Kazuma: *chuckles* What monster would you use a Party Trick on?

Megumin: I am an Arch Wizard that loves Explosion magic more than anything! I can't stand the other spell in the Detonation family...They suck! Explosion is the one for me! I'll admit questing would be easier if I learned other spells. But I refuse! I love the Explosion spell more than anything! I don't care that I can use it once a day or that it drains me so much it knocks me on my face! I will always, always love Explosion! When I started, I chose to walk the path of the Arch Wizard just so I can cast  that one glorious spell!   

Y/N: (Yep, definitely Sienna.)       

Aqua: That's amazing and wonderful! Even though your goal is totally bonkers. I love the passion you have for it!

Aqua and Megumin give each other a thumbs up.

Kazuma: (So basically this mage is useless. Hell if Aqua get where she's coming from she's gotta be. I mean just by going off our last fights with the toads went this "Goddess" is as useless as it gets. The last thing I need is another Aqua in my life.) Oh well, sounds like life is gonna be tough for you. But keep hanging in there! Once get back to the Guild we'll split the reward and then maybe we'll see you again!

Y/N: Hold on! You wanna let her go?!

Kazuma: Not you too Y/N?!

Y/N: Look, I get it her motivations are very....twisted to say the least but she's got talent. I wish I had her when I got mobbed by ratmen several weeks ago....Megumin, I take you were rejected by a lot of parties?

Megumin:.......Yes.

Y/N: Do you really want to join ours? Our party is still trying to get its bearings straight.

Megumin: Yes! You don't have to give me any reward money! All I ask is for the cost of food and essentials! I'll carry your bags, I'll do anything! Just please give me a permanent place in your party!

Y/N: I admire your determination, I say you're in Megumin.

Megumin: Really?!

Y/N: What do you all say?

Aqua: I'm fine with if you are Y/N.

Y/N: Kazuma?

Kazuma:.....Fine, she can stay.

Y/N: It's unanimous, welcome aboard Megumin.

Megumin throws her arms around neck and hugs you tightly while Aqua pouts with jealousy.

Megumin: Thank you! Thank you Y/N!

Y/N: N-No problem. But I expect you to pull your weight. (She's got one helluva a grip!)

Aqua: (Didn't want me hugging him earlier! But Megumin is just fine!)

KONOSUBA

You and Kazuma got yourselves cleaned up and turned in the quest to the Guild while the girls were still in the bath.

Luna: I have confirmed you have completed your quest! Nice work out there!

Kazuma: No way I went up four whole levels! I didn't know you could advance so much just by killing a few monsters.

Luna: It's true, and the new the Adventurer is the faster they'll level up.

Kazuma: Y/N, how many levels did you go up?

Y/N: It doesn't matter, why don't you get us a table Kazuma. I'll take care of the rest.

Kazuma: Okay, thanks Y/N.

Kazuma goes to get a table and you lean into the counter to have a private talk with Luna.

Y/N: Hey can we talk?

Luna: What is it Y/N?

Y/N: Listen, we encountered Skaven today.

Luna: Really, how many?

Y/N: Just one, Ratling Gunner.

Luna: Oh my! Skaven this far away from the Empire! Is everyone okay?

Y/N: We're all okay. But any other party went out there they'd all be dead.

Luna: I'll let the Guild know thanks for the update Y/N. Now here's your payment. Keep up the good work!

Y/N: Thanks Luna.

Luna hands you the payment of 110,000 Eris for the quest and you ask for a couple of drinks for yourself and Kazuma.

Kazuma: 110 grand split four ways is just 27 grand each! And we didn't get anything killing that ratman!

Y/N: Except our lives, we were lucky he was alone they usually attack in packs.

Kazuma: *sighs* We nearly got ourselves killed for what? 27 lousy grand, it's not worth it. Y/N did you make any money while you were away?

Y/N: I got a hold of some Imperial silver but I don't what the conversion rate is on them.

Kazuma: Life is not going to be easy in this world. I really want to go back to Japan.

???: I saw your poster, I hope I'm not late.

You look over to the see the source of the voice.

???: Are you still recruiting Adventurer's for your party?

Kazuma: *voice breaking* Yeah! We are! I wouldn't recommend it... B-But if you really wanna!

???: That's good I was worried. You see I have been waiting ages for the right party to come along.  

Y/N: That depends, what can you offer us Miss...?

Darkness: *heavy breath* My name is Darkness. And my class.....is Crusader...*heavy breathing*...If you would have me...I'd like to join your...p-p-p-p-p-p-p-party please!!

Y/N: (Sigmar help us.)
