-No one's P.O.V-

You were now farming to kill some Giant Toads because you wanted to get some exp and money. So right now, you are now currently Level 13 and received a lot of money.

(Y/N): Gee, I've eliminated about 35 Giant Toads. I think I should meet up with the others by now.

You said as you left the Plain Fields and went back to the Guild. Just then, you see Kazuma, Megumin, Darkness...and Aqua who was in the cage.

(Y/N): Heyo! Where you guys going? And why is Aqua in a Cage?

Kazuma: We are going on a quest to purify the water in Riverhead Lake. Wanna come with us?

You thought about it for a moment.

(Y/N): Nah, I might get bored there. Might as well do something else instead. 

Kazuma: Alright then, your call.

Kazuma and the others left, as you sighed and went somewhere else. 

Right now, you were in the Guild and you were...bored.

(Y/N): Geez, nothing to do is so boring...

???: (Y/N)?

You then turn to see Chris, who seemed to have a concerned look on her face. 

Chris: You seemed to be troubled, or are you bored?

You sighed.

(Y/N): Yeah, there's nothing I can do.

You said truthfully, as Chris thinks for a moment.

Chris: I know! How about Training?

You perked up at her in confusion.

(Y/N): Training?

Chris: Yeah, Training. I mean, you have a skinny body. You need a lot of training to get some strength. So, what do you say?

You thought about it for a moment before deciding.

...

(Y/N): Sure. I'll take that. 

Chris: Good. Now follow me.

-Time Skip 7 hours later-

Eventually, Chris was your mentor and did a lot of training by doing Push ups, squats, Weapon swinging, Kicks, Punches, Running, Swimming and do a lot of jogging, every once in dawn.  So right now, you felt your body becoming a bit more stronger for now. You had a satisfied smile as you turn to Chris.

(Y/N): Thanks, Chris.

She smiled back at you.

Chris: You're welcome, (Y/N). Anyways, I have to go now. See you later! Oh, and be sure to do a lot of training when you have nothing to do.

And just like that, she walks away. You watched her walk away as you smiled and you noticed that the sun was getting down. You thought to yourself that Kazuma's quest is done, and you decided to go back to the Town.

-Mini Time Skip-

Using your Super Speed, you finally went back into Town as in an easy way to go back. Just then, you see Kazuma and the others finally back and that's when you noticed Aqua in a depressed state. This concerns you a little, so you jog up to the others.

(Y/N): Hey, you're back.

Kazuma: Yeah.

(Y/N): How's the quest? And why is Aqua in a depressed state.

Megumin: Well, she got traumatized and said that the world outside around her is scary.

You then felt pity on Aqua.

(Y/N): Damn, I'm so sorry to hear that. 

You then turn to Aqua.

(Y/N): (Poor Aqua.)

Just then, you hear someone calling out.

???: Lady Goddess! It's you, isn't it, Lady Goddess?!

Everyone: Huh?

You all turn to see a knight who was talking to Aqua and then he broke the cage with at ease. 

Megumin:

(Y/N): ?

???": What are you doing in such a place, Lady Goddess?!

Darkness then grabbed his shoulder.

Darkness: Hey. Don't touch my ally so freely. Who are you?

(Y/N): Hey Aqua. Do you know this dude? He was calling you Goddess.

Aqua: Goddess?

(Y/N): Uh, yeah!

Aqua: ....

(Y/N): ...

Aqua: That's right! I'm a Goddess!

Aqua then left the cage and was facing this knight.

Aqua: So, what business do you have with a Goddess such as myself? Who are you?

The guy was dead on the inside.

???: It's me, Mitsurugi Kyouya! The Mitsurugi Kyouya who received this Cursed Sword, Gram, from you and was reincarnated in this world.

Aqua: Huh?

Kyouya: Huh?

Kazuma: Huh?

(Y/N): Wait, don't tell me you forgot about him Aqua?

Aqua: Oh, of course! That guy! Sorry, I totally forgot! I've sent along many people, so it's inevitable that I'd forgot some!

Kyouya: Y-Yes...It has been a while, Aqua-sama. I have been working hard every day as your chosen hero. By the way...Why have you been locked up in a cage?

(Y/N): Let the man in the green cape explain it to you.

I said pointing my thumb at Kazuma.

-Small Time Skip-

Kyouya: What?! You dragged the Goddess to this world? Then you locked her in a cage and dunked her in a lake?! 

Kyouya then grabs Kazuma by his collar and was yelling at his face.

Kyouya: What in the world are you thinking?!

Aqua: W-Wait! I'm having lots of fun every day, and I'm not upset about having been dragged here anymore.

Kyouya: Aqua-sama, I don't know this man won you over, but you are a Goddess! And yet, this little...

Random Person 1: What?

Random Person 2: Fighting over a woman?

Kyouya: By the way, where are you staying right now, Aqua-sama?

Aqua: Um, in the stables...

Kyouya: Huh?

His grip on Kazuma's collar tightened.

(Y/N):  Hey, calm down now. There's no need for violence.

You said in a calm and polite way. Kyouya looks at you and you looked at him with no worried looks. He then lets out a sigh before letting go of him.

(Y/N): Thank you.

Kyouya: Anyways, I'll remind you my name again. I'm Mitsurugi Kyouya and right now. I need you to hand Aqua to me, right now!

Megumin: He's kind of making me want to blow him up.

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

Kyouya: You two are...A Crusader and Arch Wizard? And you are-

He then notices a Guitar on your back.

Kyouya: You are a Bard, if I'm correct.

(Y/N): Yep. You are correct. 

You said with a nod. 

Kyouya: I see. You two are blessed with a wonderful party members. You have such an excellent people here, yet you make Aqua-sama sleep in a stable. Have you no shame?

(Y/N): Don't blame me, blame Kazuma.

Kazuma: Hey!

(Y/N):  Hold on now, I was sent by another Goddess, not Aqua.

I explained as Kyouya looked at me with confusion.

Kyouya: Wait, what do you mean 'another Goddess'? Who is she?

(Y/N): Well...her name is Eris and she's a Goddess of Fortune. I arrived in a few days Aqua before I met Kazuma.

Kyouya: I see. Anyways, all of you should travel with me, a sword master, from now on. I'll even buy you full sets of high-grade equipment.

Aqua: Hey, this is bad. This guy seriously freaks me out. Hes the narcissistic type, and that's scares me.

Darkness: What should I do? My instincts won't let me accept that man. I enjoy getting hit more than attacking, but something about him makes me want to hit him.

Megumin: Can I blow him? Can I blow him?

(Y/N): Look, with all due respect. Can't we just settle this later?

Kazuma: Nah. Anyways, it sounds like my allies unanimously don't want to join your party. Bye, then.

Kazuma and his party turn away from Kyouy and started walking. You sighed and about to join them, but Kyouya ran in front of you and stopped you.

Kyouya: Wait!

(Y/N): What is it now?

Kyouya: Sorry, but I can't leave Aqua-sama in this environment.

Kazuma: (What now? He's the type that won't listen to anyone. I can see where this is going.)

Kyouya: Will you have a match with me? If I win, turn Aqua-sama over to me, If you win, I'll listen to any request you have.

Kazuma: All right. I'm in. Here I go!

Kazuma charged at confused Kyouya who wasn't ready.

Kyouya: Hey, wait!

Kazuma: STEAL!

Just then, a bright blue shined on Kyouya's eyes as he forced himself to close his eyes. After that, the light faded and it revealed that Kyouya's sword was on Kazuma, as the big sword falls on Kyouya's head and knocked him out easily.

Kazuma: That was easy.

(Y/N): Seriously?

Kazuma: What? I had no choice.

You shook your head in disagreement. 

Girl 1: C-Coward!

Girl 2: Coward, coward, coward!

All of you turned to see two girls started to scream at Kazuma.

Kazuma: Are you two this guy's allies?

Girl 2: That's right, you disgusting man! Coward!

(Y/N): Umm...not to be rude or anything, but are you just going to call us cowards because my friend just knocked a guy out who attacked a weaker party, yes?

Girl 2: ....

Girl 1: ...

It was silent for a moment.

Girl 2: Give back Gram! Only Kyouya can use that cursed sword!

Kazuma: Huh? *Looks at Aqua* For real?

Aqua: The Cursed Sword Gram is for this embarrassing guy's use alone.

(Y/N): What? Seriously? *Looks at Kyouya's unconscious body* Maybe this guy's a hero. Kazuma, return the sword to him.

You said being the reasonable person you are, Kazuma thinks for a moment.

Kazuma: Nah, I will have it now, so I guess I'll keep it. 

Girl 1: W-Wait just a second!

Girl 2: We won't accept the way you won!

Kazuma then spoke in a serious tone of voice.

Kazuma: I'm an advocate of true gender equality, a guy who has no problem doling out a drop kick to a female opponent. Don't think I'll go easy on you...I'll unleash my Steal ability right here in public.

Girl 1: Huh?

GIrl 2: Wh-Wha?

He began to have a pervy gesture on his hand, making you disgust at this.

Girls: Noo! 

The two girls blushed in embarrassment and ran away screaming.

Kazuma: Uh...no.

(Y/N): Oh god..(You didn't even realized that everyone is watching...)

Aqua: That was perverted!

Darkness: Such a brutal act!

You began to leave with the others, but you stopped and looked back at Kyouya's unconscious body, and Kazuma noticed that you falling behind.

Kazuma: (Y/N)! Catch up with us!

(Y/N): Nah, can't leave this guy out here.

You said as you start to carry Kyouya on you arms, this made you blush in embarrassment since you carry a guy on your arms.

Kazuma: Whatever. 

Then Kazuma continues walking away as you sighed before carrying Kyouya to the inn, thanks to your strength.

...

-Time Skip-

After carrying Kyouya all the way to the inn and you asked the landlord on what room he was in. He told you the room number as you thanked the landlord and carried Kyouya all the way up to his room and finally placed him down onto his bed.

(Y/N): Damn, carrying this guy is tough. But at least, it's worth it.

You were about to leave. Just then, you hear groaning behind you. You turn around to see Kyouya woke up as he sat up and rubbed his head.

Kyouya: Huh? Where am I? 

He asks in confusion as he looks around and sees you.

Kyouya: Oh, it's you. Wait, did you carry me all the way here?

(Y/N): Yeah...I didn't want to leave you out here, I'd be feeling bad by now.

Kyouya nods in acknowledgement.

Kyouya: I see. Wait, where's my sword?

He then looks around in panic.

(Y/N): Easy now, my friend took your sword.

He then looks at you in shock.

Kyouya: Wait, seriously?!

(Y/N): Yeah, he just took it with no regrets. It's best if you just settle with him by tomorrow.

Kyouya thought about it for a moment, as he sighed.

Kyouya: Alright fine, If he sells my sword...I'm going to be upset. Oh and thanks for carrying me back to my inn. I appreciate it, it feels like I have to owe you.

You shook your head and your hand.

(Y/N): No need for that, you don't need to owe me anything. 

Kyouya: Are you sure?

(Y/N): Yeah. Anyways, have a good evening, Mitsurugi-san.

You said his name correctly with a smile.

Kyouya: Thanks for pronouncing my name correctly. I was wrong to doubt you. Have a good night, um...what's your name?

(Y/N): It's (Y/N) (L/N).

 You told him your name and left the room and went back to your room.

-The Next Day-

You and Kyouya decided to ate some breakfast in the Tavern. After that, Kyouya decided to settle things with Kazuma in the Guild, you decided to accompany him along the two girls that he was partied up with, plus he received some information about some females that they encountered which they did tell him the whole story, including Chris. You felt on betraying on Kazuma, but it has to do right thing or not.

You then entered the guild with Kyouya and his two girls, then you see Kazuma and the others on the table.

Kyouya: I've been looking for you, Satou Kazuma!

He says as Kazuma and the others sees you with him.

Aqua: (Y/N)! Why are you with him?!

(Y/N): Easy now. It's complicated, okay?

You said with your arms in front of you in defense

Kyouya: Anyways, I heard about you from a certain thief girl. She said you're a demon who strips off panties! What's more, there also seem to be rumors that you're into getting girls covered in slime. They call you "Kazuma the Brute".

(Y/N): *Smirks* (Damn! Big oof.)

Kazuma: Hey, wait! Tell me who's spreading that around!

He then turns to Aqua and speaks to her.

Kyouya: Aqua-sama. I swear that I will defeat the Demon Lord. I want you and (Y/N) in my party-

Aqua: God Blow!

She was almost to punch Kyouya in the face, but you grabbed her glowing fist and you can feel the pain. Kyouya's girls gasped in surprised, including Aqua and everybody in the Guild.

Aqua: (Y/N)! Why are you protecting him?!

You then let go of Aqua's hand and sighed.

(Y/N): Look, I understand that you're mad at Kyouya, but he isn't a bad person. He's just trying to be a hero, like everyone else.

You reasoned with Aqua, as she looked down in slight of guilt on her face.

Aqua: Fine! Anyways, you pay the repair fee for the cage you broke! It's 300,000! 300,000!

Kyouya seemed to be scared.

Kyouya: Oh, uh, sure.

He was about to give the money, but you stopped him.

(Y/N): No need for that. Take mine instead. 

You said giving a sack of coins to Aqua, this confuses her as she takes it.

Aqua: Why are you siding with him?

(Y/N): Look, I know we had our reasons, but please! There's no need for violence. 

You said in a polite mannered way.

Kyouya: Thank you (Y/N).

Kyouya says with a grateful smile.

(Y/N): It's fine.

Aqua: Excuse me! One drink and a stack of fried frogs for me, please!

(Y/N): Anyways, Where's Kyouya's sword? He needs it back.

You asked Kazuma.

Kyouya: Ah yes! *Bows* Please, could you return the cursed sword to me? In exchange I'll buy you the finest sword in-

Megumin then pulled Kyouya's cape, as he raised his head to her.

Megumin: First, there's the matter of the cursed sword no longer being in his possession. 

Kyouya: Huh?

(Y/N): *Surprised Pikachu Face*

Kyouya was now in disbelief. 

Kyouya: S-Satou Kazuma,...where's the cursed sword? Wh-Wh-Where did my cursed sword go?

Kazuma: I sold it.

He says showing the bag of coins.

Kyouya: DAMN IT! I KNEW THIS WOULD HAPPEN!!!

Girls: Kyouya!

Kyouya and his girls ran from the guild. You then turn to Kazuma with disappointment.

(Y/N): You literally stole that guy's sword and sold it, there's going to be a trouble for you.

Kazuma: Who cares? It's worth it.

Darkness: What in the world was with that guy? By the way, he kept calling Aqua a Goddess. What was that about?

Aqua: I've kept this myself until now, but I'll tell you. I am Aqua, the Goddess who rules water, worshiped by the Religious Order of Axis. Yes, I am the Godess, Aqua!

Darkness & Megumin: Did you dream that?

Aqua: No!

Just then, we hear Luna announcing into the speakers.

Luna: Emergency! Emergency! All adventurers, please arm yourselves at once and gather at front gate of the city! Adventurers Satou Kazuma-san, (Y/N) (L/N)-kun and their party in particular, as quickly as possible, please!

Your party: Huh?

We then headed out again at the front gates of the city.

Kazuma: Him again?

(Y/N): I guess he must've noticed.

Dullahan: All of you...why haven't you come to the castle?! You wretches!

Kazuma: What?

(Y/N): ...

(A/N: Alright, chapter done! I'll be posting another one by tomorrow! It took me like three and half an hour to post this story. Hope you guys enjoyed!)
