-No one's P.O.V-
After the battle with Verdia, a leader of the Demon Lord's army, the season turned to winter. Right now, you were outside sitting in the cold in a moody state and didn't talk to everyone, not even Kazuma and his party.
(Y/N): Tch...the hell is wrong with this...*Sigh* I wish...I could've wish something different. What would happen if Kazuma and the others would've handled the Dullahan alone without me. No, what if I arrived IN the Dullahan's battle.
You complained, remembering that your party had a debt in 40 Million Eris. You hated it, you weren't active with the others.
You sighed again and you looked at your guitar.
(Y/N): Maybe a guitar could help me out.
You said to yourself and began to play the Guitar.

I hurt myself today
To see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
The only thing that's real
The needle tears a hole
The old familiar sting
Try to kill it all away
But I remember everything
What have I become
My sweetest friend?
Everyone I know
Goes away in the end
And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt
I wear this crown of thorns
Upon my liar's chair
Full of broken thoughts
I cannot repair
Beneath the stains of time
The feelings disappear
You are someone else
I am still right here
What have I become
My sweetest friend?
Everyone I know
Goes away in the end
And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt
If I could start again
A million miles away
I will keep myself
I would find a way
After finishing playing the guitar as you slowly closed your eyes and breathe for a moment. You opened them back again, you were now finally calmed down. You headed back to the Guild where Kazuma and the others are waiting in there.
-Guild-
You entered the Guild and see Kazuma and his party were looking at the quest board.
(Y/N): Hey.
You said getting their attention.
Aqua: Oh (Y/N)!
Kazuma: So uh...have you cooled down?
You hesitated for a moment to speak up.
(Y/N): Yeah...just a little. Anyways, what quests are we looking at?
Megumin: Well, we could keep looking.
(Y/N): Oh well...
Kazuma: "The mobile fortress 'Destroyer' is approaching, so we are recruiting scouts to predict the route it will take." What is this? What's a "Destroyer"?
Darkness: The Destroyer is the Destroyer.
(Y/N): The Darkness is the Darkness.
You said jokingly, which made Kazuma and the others laughed except for Darkness.
Darkness: Could you not...make fun of my name?
(Y/N): I'm just trying to light up the mood.
Darkness: Anyways, back to the topic. Destroyer is a massive fortress that moves at high speed.
Megumin: It lumbers around, trampling everything. It's oddly popular with children.
Kazuma: I see. I don't get it. Let's see. What's this?
He then picked one quest.
Kazuma: A Snow Sprite kill quest? Hey, what are Snow Sprites? They don't sound all that strong, based on the name, but it says the reward is 100,00 Eris each.
Megumin: There are lots of Snow Sprites in the snow plains. It's said that spring will come half a day sooner for every one you kill. They're very weak monsters so they're easily defeat, but...
Aqua: If we're accepting that quest, I'll go ready!
Kazuma: Hey, wait. *Looks at Darkness* You're laughing?
Darkness: Snow Sprites, huh?
Kazuma: There is something wrong (Y/N). Why does this masochistic crusader who always wants to fight strong monsters looks so happy?
(Y/N): Well...a masochist is a masochist.
-Time Skip-
Kazuma: These are Snow Sprites?
(Y/N): Whoa...they're adorable than I thought.
Kazuma: *Looks at Aqua* Hey, can't you do something about that outfit? You look like some dumb kid going cicada-catching in the middle of water.
Aqua: I can catch Snow Sprites with this, and bottle them up. I had the idea that if we mix them in our drinks, we can have ice-cold drinks whenever we want! Well? Aren't I smart?!
Kazuma: Darkness, what happened to your armor? Are you going to be all right in that gear?
Darkness: No problem. I'm a little cold, but that in itself is...
You then pat Darkness is the back.
(Y/N): It's alright, if you're feeling the...um coldness.
Kill Quest!
Kill the Snow Sprites!
Kazuma: Number three, wait!
You weren't even killing the Snow Sprites, you were adored by these things.
(Y/N): Oooh, you're looking adorable, ain't ya?
You said as you poked it and it seemed to like it. The Snow Sprite began to rub itself on your cheek.
(Y/N): Huh, I guess you like me.
You said with a smile.
Kazuma: (Y/N)! Why aren't killing?!
(Y/N): Because they're adorable!
You yelled back as the others were trying to kill other Snow Sprites while Aqua was capturing them.
Aqua: There! I caught my forth one! Kazuma! (Y/N)! Look here! I caught a bunch!
Kazuma: (If my kill count comes out too low, I'll kill the Snow Sprites she caught, too.) Now!
Kazuma slashes a Snow Sprite in half and it disappeared.
Megumin: (Y/N)!
(Y/N): What?
Megumin: Can I blow away all the ones in area with explosion magic?
(Y/N): Uhm...Go ask that to Kazuma!
Kazuma: Just do it!
Megumin: Okay! By my efflux of deep crimson, topple this white world! Explosion!
A huge explosion appeared and killed some Snow Sprites. A Strong wind caused by the explosion blew both you and Aqua away. Megumin was lying face first in the snow.
Kazuma: Are you alright?
Megumin: I got eight of them. That makes nine defeated Snow Sprites in total. I even went up a level.
(Y/N): Congrats then.
Darkness: There it is!
(Y/N): Huh?
Kazuma: Wh-What is that?!
You looked in front of you to see a blizzard and it started to form something.
Darkness: So exiting...
You then looked at Megumin.
(Y/N): Is she playing dead?
Aqua: Kazuma! (Y/N)! I'll tell you why adventurers don't accept Snow Sprite kill quests.
Kazuma: Huh?
Aqua: You lived in Japan so I'm sure you've at least heard the name in the news and weather forecasts. And (Y/N) lived in (Your Country Name) so maybe he didn't hear about it. He's the Snow Sprites' master, and is also said to evoke the image of winter...
Kazuma gulped in fear.
Aqua: Yes, the Winter Shogun has arrived!
(Y/N): WHAT?!
Darkness: Th-The Winter Shogun! One of the specially designated monsters the country has put a huge bounty on!
Kazuma: Huh?!
Darkness: I'm sure this monster plants to use his position as shogun to have his way with me. I'll resist him, but he will likely beyond my capabilities, and I'll be shamed...
Kazuma: Stupid! Everything in this good-for-nothing world, the people, the food, and the monsters, are all absolutely stupid!
(Y/N): The food isn't that bad though.
Winter Shogun drew his sword and rushed at Darkness, he cuts her sword in half.
Darkness: M-My sword!
Kazuma was scared shit-less.
Aqua: Sprites pick up the subconscious thoughts of the people of encounter and take their form. But the only ones strolling around outside town in winter are mostly just cheat-users who came from Japan.
Kazuma: So this guy was brought to life by some idiot who came here from Japan, whose train of though associated winter with the Winter Shogun?! Talk about a pain in the ass!
(Y/N): By the Elder Gods...
Aqua: Kazuma! (Y/N)! The Winter Shogun is generous, if we politely apologize, he'll overlook this! Prostate yourself! Prostrate yourself before him! Come on, everyone, toss your weapons aside and bow down! Apologize! You hurry up and apologize too, (Y/N)!
Aqua tells you, but the Winter Shogun approaches you and looks down on you. You looked up slowly and gulped in fear. The Shogun notices that there are Snow Sprites were around you and they seemed to be friendly around you. One of the Snow Sprites flies towards him and began speaking to him(?) The Shogun looks at you and kneels down to your level.
You and the Shogun began to look at each others eyes. Jut then, the Shogun slowly reaches his hand out, you slowly closed your eyes and braced for something. It didn't came and you felt his big hand stroking your head.
(Y/N): *Lightly blushes* O-Oh...um...Thanks?
You said nervously as the Winter Shogun nods at you before stopping to stroke your head.
Darkness: H-How could you?!
You and the Shogun turned to Darkness.
Darkness: I should've been taking advantage of that Shogun!
Darkness says while panting and blushing, as then Kazuma grabbed her head and pinned her to the ground. The Winter Shogun stood up and walked over to Darkness and Kazuma.
Kazuma: You try to go off with monsters willingly all the time! Don't show off you pointless pride only at times like these!
Darkness: *Blushes* S-Stop it! You're forcing me to bow my head when I don't want to, and shoving my face into the ground!
Kazuma: Huh?
Darkenss began to laugh and panting at the same time.
Darkness: What a reward! The snow is so cold...
Aqua: Kazuma! Your weapon, your weapon! Hurry and throw down the sword you're holding!
Kazuma: Oh?
Just then, the Winter Shogun beheaded Kazuma.
(Y/N): Oh dear.
And just that, the Winter Shogun had left back into the forest. The Snow Sprites went in front of you and winked before flying away. You smiled at them before going at Kazuma's beheaded body.
After some time happened, Kazuma had met Eris in the afterlife and Aqua used her Resurrection spell to bring him back. After that, you all decided to retire the quest and went back to the guild.

(A/N: Chapter done! A few hours ago, I wanted (Y/N) to go back in time to prevent the party's debt and unlocking his Ultimate Move which I wrote, but I changed my mind and went back to the original story. Hope you all enjoyed!)
