Chapter 17: A Dungeon to Seek Out

-No one's P.O.V-

Despite for all of this, Megumin wanted her daily routine back, so I did.

Megumin: EXPLOSION!!!

(Y/N): (We've been casting explosion already. Out of the sudden, I have a lost all the interest on walking the path of explosions, but I still stayed though.)

Megumin: What do you think of this lovely rainbow?! I give it 120 points!

(Y/N): Eh, I'd say I give it 130 points...plus, you'll get a bonus.

Megumin: Ooo! What would that be?!

(Y/N): This.

You pulled out a picnic basket with some food on it.

(A/N: Ignore the bottle, just the food.)

(Y/N): Our bonus is to eat some picnic! Just between the both of us!

You smiled down at Megumin as she smiled back up at you.

(Y/N): Now then.

You then placed Megumin on your lap, which she was surprised at this.

(Y/N): You can't move right? I'll just have to feed you!

Megumin: (Y-Y/N)?

(Y/N): What?

Megumin: You know...this is kind of a thing where girls should do to do boys.

(Y/N): Well, that's true. It called role reversal, where the boys would act as girls and girls could acts as boys.

Megumin: That's weird coming from you. I guess it's fine, now feed me.

You giggled, as you picked up the sandwich from the basket.

(Y/N): Here, say ahhh~

Megumin opened her eyes as you lowered the sandwich directly at Megumin's mouth. She took a bit half of the sandwich

(Y/N): So? How's my sandwich I make?

Megumin had her eyes widened of the taste before swallowing the food whole.

Megumin: Wow! This sandwich is great! Feed me more! 

You giggled and smiled at her.

(Y/N): Alright. Here's another one!

We keep doing this for a while before heading back home

-With Yuuki and (Y/N)-

The next day, you and Yuuki were on quest on defeating a bunch of Goblins that were infesting in the village. After that, the two of you were a bit exhausted and sat down on the bench.

Yuuki: Geez, Never would've thought these Goblins would try to ambush us from the beginning!

(Y/N): Yeah, It was unpredictable.

Yuuki: Say, let's get something to eat.  I've got something!

She pulled out two homemade sandwiches.

Yuuki: You can have one of these here.

She says handing you an extra sandwich, which you take it from her.

Yuuki: Hehehe! Thank you for the food!

Yuuki then began to chow down the sandwich. You watched her eating the sandwich with a delightful expression. You smiled and began to eat the sandwich as well.

(Y/N): They taste great, Yuuki. I guess you made sandwiches on your own in the Inn?

Yuuki turned to you with a nod.

Yuuki: Yeah! I made these since we haven't hang out for a while. So I decided to make one for you.

You were surprised at her words, but yet you still smiled at her.

(Y/N): Thank you, Yuuki. I feel appreciated.

Yuuki blushed after hearing that you thanked her. She then scratched the back of her head awkwardly before turning to you with a smile.

Yuuki: You're welcome, (Y/N)!

You nodded as you and Yuuki eat the sandwiches. 

-Time Skip-

Some time later, Kazuma picked up quest that it said to Investigate Keele's dungeon.

Aqua: For a lowbie dungeon, it's annoyingly far from town.

Megumin: Being this far from civilization, I can low up whatever I want!

Kazuma: We're going underground, so you'd better not. Seriously, don't. Maybe someone should stay here.

You then spoke up.

(Y/N): Megumin and I will keep an eye outside. 

Kazuma: Good idea.

Aqua: No! We need you with us, (Y/N)!

Kazuma slapped her in the head.

Kazuma: We can deal with this and someone must protect our atomic bomb. She's useless after on explosion, remember?

Megumin: I'm still and I heard everything.

Kazuma: I know.

Megumin: *Pouts*

Kazuma: It's decided Aqua. (Y/N) will have to stay with Megumin outside and we're going to the dungeon. Do you understand, Aqua? 

Aqua: Oouuh....Fine!

Kazuma: *Nods* Good.

-10 Minutes Later-

Kazuma and Aqua were exploring the dungeon, Megumin was training her incantation and you were sitting under the tree and petting Chomosuke.

Megumin: My power. My weapon...? My madness? Let my madness manifest! Explo-

(Y/N): Don't you dare.

Megumin: I know, I know.

(Y/N): But you're crazy sometimes, even me.

Megumin: *Pouts*

Dungeon

Aqua: Treasure, treasure, la, la, la, treasure!

...

Kazuma was holding a map of the dungeon.

Kazuma: This is it...

He touched a brick and an hidden doors opened.

Aqua: So this where the unexplored territory starts, huh? Maybe it's littered with teasure!

Kazuma: We're gonna be trouble if it's not. All right, come on.

Outside.

You were getting bored and that goes for Megumin as well.

Megumin: I'm bored. Hey (Y/N). Can you try to sing a song? But don't play the guitar.

(Y/N): Sure.

You took a deep breath before starting to sing.

https://youtu.be/1o-L50CsDiI

It's Matthew! It's Lucia! And it's Tommy! And we're the Attic Dolls! Ehehe!

In the darkness, we'll find you
Take a knife and, we'll slice you
See our eyes glow, you'll panic
We'll be smiling, in the attic.

Have you ever woken up and heard the sound of tiny feet.
That was me, floorboard creak, as I creep, you will scream
See a shadow in the night, a pair of eyes just out of sight.
I'll be standing with a knife a hungry killers appetite.
Hear a giggle like a signal plunge a knife your body wriggles
No one ever blames the dolls we're far too cute and oh so little
Write a page of little squiggles, demon faces in your scribbles
Read aloud the attic riddles know that soon your scarlet blood will trickle.

In the darkness, we'll find you
Take a knife and, we'll slice you
See our eyes glow, you'll panic
We'll be smiling, in the attic

So you wanna know the story how we came to be alive
Why we climb the attic staircase leaving victims terrified?
In the body of a host our demon spirits did reside
 Until a woman with a bag arrived and exorcised us from inside
She Should have burned us with cross instead she placed us in a box
So now we haunt the new inhabitants and terrorise them in the loftWe'll Always prey upon the weak, We'll play a game of hide and seek And then we'll creep inside your head and send you crazy on a killing spree

In the darkness, we'll find you
Take a knife and, we'll slice you
See our eyes glow, you'll panic
We'll be smiling, in the attic

In the darkness, we'll find you
Take a knife and, we'll slice you
See our eyes glow, you'll panic
We'll be smiling, in the attic

Hehehehe...

After you finished singing, you looked at Megumin who had a scared look on her face.

(Y/N: Relax~ It's just a song. None of my songs are real, they're just for entertainment.

Megumin: I-I know. The way you sang, you literally scared me.

-Meanwhile, Kazuma and Aqua were attacked by a wild Gremlin.-

Aqua: That's a low level demon called Gremlin. You sometimes get weak demons in dungeons like these.

Kazuma: Wait, so you can actually see pretty well in the darkness?

Aqua: As well as I can in daylight.

Kazuma: You said before that you'd heard me rustling around when we were sleeping in the stables...

Aqua: I didn't see what. Once I heard you rustling around, I turned the other way to try and sleep.

Kazuma: Thank you for that, Aqua.

-Time Skip-

You were sleeping on the grass with a relaxed face.

Megumin: He should watch our stuff and protect me, but he's just...sleeping.

She smiled while looking at you.  Chomosuke was lying on your chest and was sleeping with you as well.

(A/N: Imagine that's you as Kirito and Chomosuke as Pina.)

Chomosuke: Meow...Meow...

(Y/N): Zzz...Zzz...

Megumin: They looked so peaceful...It's kind of a shame to wake them up. Well, if you can't beat them, join them. Hehehe. Excuse me, Chomosuke!

Megumin said quitely to prevent you from waking up, as Chomosuke moves aside and letting Megumin sleeping with you, as she lays her head on your chest. 

Megumin: Wow...the weather is so nice up. I could just...drift...off...

And just that, Megumin fell asleep with you.

(A/N: Pretty wholsome, right?)

-Dungeon-

Aqua: Hey, treasure! There's a treasure! A treasure chest! We did it!

Kazuma: Hey, slow down! Obvious treasure chests like that tend to be. Yeah, my Enemy Detection skill is going off.

He threw a rock at the chest and a big mouth with eyes appeared.

Kazuma: D-Disgusting!

Aqua: I remember the Guild people saying to be careful of Dungeon Mimics...Some of them even pretended to be humans in order to prey on other mosnters.

Kazuma: Monsters, too?! Talk about nasty!

-Somewhere-

Darkness: S-Stop that! Don't! You can't! Trying to put me into something so shameful...Curse you! I'll kill you!

-Dungeon-

Aqua and Kazuma were fighting off undeads and that means for Aqua's Turn Undead skill.

Aqua bumped her because a wall magically disappeared.

Kazuma: Hey, are you okay?

???: Is there a priest among you? My name is Keele. I built this dungeon and kidnapped a noble's daughter. I'm an evil wizard.

-Keele's Flashback-

Story about love, kidnapping a noble's daughter being actually good and...

Keele: So I say to him and run off with her!

Kazuma: In other words, you're not an evil wizard but a good one?

...

Keele: That being the case, I've a favor to ask you.

Kazuma: A favor?

Keele: Yes. Would you purify me? The young lady is a priest with enough power to do so, correct?

...

Kazuma: (It seems that Keele was gravely injured while protecting hi lady, and in order to keep her safe he abandoned his humanity and became a lich. And in spite of myself, I thought that this lich was a pretty cool guy.)

Aqua: Okay, everything's ready.

Keele: I'm really grateful. Unfortunately, undead can't do anything as surreal as killing themselves. While I was waiting to slowly decay, I sensed a tremendous holy power and one power that I can't describe, and I was snapped out of my long slumber!

Aqua: Arch Wizard Keele, who forsook god's law and willingly became a lich...in the name of the goddess of water, Aqua, your sin forgiven. When you awaken, you will likely meet a goddess with unnaturally large breasts, named Eris. In a difference in age doesn't matter to  you or the trappings of man and woman and you'll accept whatever form it may take. Then ask for her help in meeting your beloved again. I'm sure she'll make your wish come true.

Keele: Thank you so much.

Just then, Aqua began to chant her spell on Keele...

https://youtu.be/5ME_d73LK50

For some time had happened, Kazuma and Aqua got all the Keele's goods because he was nice enough to take the reward. While leaving, Kazuma left Aqua on the dungeon using Lurk leaving Aqua to fend for herself.

-Outside-

You felt a weight on your body as you woke up to see Megumin and Chomosuke lying on your body.

(Y/N): They didn't even asked, Geez...

You sighed as you decided to gently wake up Megumin. 

(Y/N): Megumin. Wake up now.

You said as you gently shake up, and she finally woke up and rubbed her eyes.

(Y/N): How's your sleep?

Megumin  then got off of you and looked at you with sleepy eyes.

Megumin: I'm fine and it's comfortable.

Also, you hear Aqua in the dungeon, screaming herself out of there.

Aqua: Kazuma! Wait for me!

You, Megumin and Chomosuke turned to Aqua running out of the dungeon, but without Kazuma.

(Y/N): Aqua? Where's Kazuma?

Kazuma: Lurk.

He was standing behind the with a smile.

(Y/N): Jesus! You scared the shit out of me!

Kazuma: Sorry, sorry.

Aqua: You left me in the dungeon you damned NEET!

Kazuma: Don't blame me! It's your fault for being catnip to undead! Let's go before-

Just then, all of you heard sirens in the forest out of nowhere.

https://youtu.be/A1rLxW88bTQ

You all got confused to where it was coming from.

Megumin: Where is that noise coming from?! 

Kazuma: I don't know, and I don't like it!

Aqua: Well! Where is it?

Just then, you hear a distorted male voice. 

Announcer: There is a tornado coming from the west. Everyone should be in indoors and don't come out till further instructions.

That's when all of you hear big footsteps, and you all started to freak out.

Megumin: Where did that voice come from?!

Megumin was starting to freak out and holds you. Once the footsteps started to become closer to your direction, you all turn around to see and everyone around you is now horrified to see...

...this.

(Y/N): It's Siren Head!

Megumin: Siren- What now?!

Kazuma: It's Siren Head! We have to go!

The Siren Head began to roar at us with it's mouthed speakers and it began to walk towards us.

Aqua: AHHH!!! LET'S GO!!!

You all began to ran away in fear. You then turn around to see the Siren Head coming towards you quickly.

(Y/N): It's gaining up on us!!

Kazuma: (Y/N)! Use your Super Speed to get us out of here!

(Y/N): But I have to carry one of you guys out of here!

Aqua: I don't care! I just want to get out of here!

You had no choice, but to use Super Speed. You carried Megumin and sped away back out of the forest. Kazuma was second and you placed him next to Megumin. Lastly was Aqua, and you can hear her screaming back in the woods.

Aqua: (Y/N)!! (Y/N)!! Help me!! Save me!!

(Y/N): Hold on!!

You yelled back as you quickly went back for Aqua. You then see Aqua getting chased by the Siren Head. She then tripped on the ground and turn around in fear to see Siren Head looking down at her and roared before it's long arms trying to grab her. 

Aqua: AHH!!!! (Y/N)!! HELP ME!! I DON'T WANT TO BE A SIREN FOOD!!!

You grit your teeth, as you started to slow down time. After that, you ran up to Aqua and carried her out of there. Time resumed back to normal, as you finally reunited with the others.

Aqua started to cry her eyes out.

Aqua: *Sniff* Uuu....Thank you for saving me (Y/N)! *Sniff* Thank you!

You felt her being traumatized all of the sudden, which you felt sympathy from her. Just then, all of you still hear the Siren Head's siren noises.

Kazuma: We can't sit around! Let's go!

You all nodded as you carried Aqua in her arms because she was traumatized. Once you got some distance, you all turn around to see the siren head in forest with its upper body and he's not even chasing you. You waited for him to do something, until you see him doing something unexpected.

https://youtu.be/ZjNr3nfi5ic

You looked at Siren Head in disbelief  before he blinked out of existence. 

(Y/N): (Did...Did he just seriously try to prank us...?)

Gray: (Yeah....I think he was...that was certainly unexpected...)

 (Y/N): Thought so too.

You and the others eventually went back to the guild as you comforted Aqua from the trauma of seeing Siren Head. 

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(A/N: Oof...Poor Aqua. Let's calm Aqua down with a headpat!)
