Chapter 2 - A bad wake up?

Its a morning, (brave wimp hero) Kazuma in green; and his adventure party, heading toward the school, actually passing the gate, entering the school campus. The boy, as he put his hand behind his head, just finished narrating his story, about mysterious last stand off. "And that is what was my last dream about. Are you happy now? It was quite a live experience."

The rest of the trio were his listeners. But it was the (nobody believe that this brat is a Water Goddess) Aqua in blue, who was more out of place that the story itself. Instead of doing a bratty comments, mocking and pinching like; (That's rough!) or (Suck to be you!); she was visibly worry. No!; she acted like a child that done a big upssiie and she is sorry for what happened. Like when he nearly escape a death, and she has this (Oh shie~~et!) expression. Or they screwed up so badly, they had doom in faces. So she make weirdly wage single sentence. "Sorry…"

Of course that was a quite strange from her, so the trio turn they curious faces toward her.

.

Yet, Kazuma is a smart boy, utilizing its wits to figure things out. Because it felled like she said (I am sorry, because it my fault.), something clicked in his head, like during solving a puzzle. That's why, glaring directly at her, he make a strict note. "Hey!…" [Oi!]

She jitter [Scare jump] like a guilty suspect when detective pointed a finger at her.

.

So the green boy start to freak out, barking at her. "Hey!!; what the heck did you do to me!? Whats going on?! Hey! Don't tell me!; that this has something to do with the fiasco when the two of us meet. At that moment; when you,-- having a trade smile of a shady trader; used you palm to conveniently cover an important looking paragraph. So I cant read it and chicken out of the deal, because of it." He even point at her a daring finger. "What did you dint tell me, during my reassignment, far back in your two chairs, no table; office room?!"

Whoever, blue girl got a (You're wronging me!) expression. "That's unfair! That was a legit job I had, that required a higher-up quotas to be fulfilled. You seriously cant blame me for giving wimps like you, a little push into better life when it was an order from boss. Beside that,-- I had a table!"

.

Yet Kazuma point out a fact, not giving up. "Simple bedside table, that was, like half the size of the simple chairs. That you use as pedestal for snacks. And better life?? I think I got set up!-- Goddess of poverty!!"

In contrast, Aqua stomp the ground, fiercely defending herself. "How dare you! Have you heard about mood setting? Do you? Obviously you not!" Placing a palm on her chest, she redirected that discussion on her opinion. "You got set up?! What about me?? That kidnapping move shall not be an option! But here we are! Again!" She throw her hand at side as if sweeping the accusation from discussion table. "Beside, you shall not have a vision, that don't include me. That's a violation, because visions are my job!" [In they World, vision shall belong to skill that you first must learn in order to use. But in goddess Aqua, it have a deeper meaning of they connection.]

It was the (smart show-off explosion maniac) Megumin in red, who spoke up at the boy, while waving her hand at him in (over here!) gesture. "Hey Kazuma, Kazuma," (He reply on reflex "Yes, I am Kazuma") while she continue: "Are you sure, that the vision was meant for you?" That make the old-couple duo to stop they argue and redirected they attention on her. "Think about it! Its hard to Imagine that you had such a noble death in one of your previous lives. Now it climbing on you, as an unfulfilled promise."

.

The boy had a terrified expression. "Oi! [Hey!] Don't you dare to suggest, that I was dying as a loser in my previous life's too, having an unbroken record of pathetic deaths. That destiny promise, suck! And how its come?; that from all, its you who are suddenly interest in previous life theme?"

As four member of they party in Tank role with motto ("Hit me baby!!; I!-- can!-- take it!!!"), there was Darkness (a noble female) in yellow, who also spoke up: "To tell thrust; I don't think you deaths was straight forward pathetic. But look at this from this angle!; Kazuma, you died several times in front us. Seeing how you had been brought back to life, back to us, make us wonder; if you destiny was overwritten by complex whims of trials of destiny. Maybe, when you had been in the afterlife, some lost souls has taken a ride with you and now you are possessed by a ghost echo. As it getting stronger day by day, one day will overtake you body." Just that vision, tingle her sense of personal taste, and she blushed with an expression of an innocent lady after reading a very romantic story, that make a girls hart to race.

.

Yet the boy saw the saliva drooping at corner of the yellow girl perverted smile, so he whisper to her from close. "Are you turn on!" Of course that make that inexperienced Darkness to yep [Scare jump] in defensive gesture. So he make a strict expression as they reached the front door leading to the school building. "Okay, listen up! I shall check up what books you are reading, lately. Its smell like a ghost story week."

[Notes]

Kazuma group (Konosuba) "God's Blessing on This Wonderful World!":

Sato Kazuma: A black-haired reincarnated adventurer in green outfit who is know for its cunning strategies on how to solve life challenges and make sweet revenge comeback; humiliate anybody who think they are invincible ass; for having a victory in they pocket without even trying. He is a crafty fella, re-Inventor and concourse of true gender equality. His highest stats is Luck.

Aqua: An aqua-haired Arch-Priest [goddess of water] of "Axis order Cult", (and the only one cheat item Kazuma pick), in blue color mini skirt dress. She is crazy, aiming to prove her status, god-like superiority and point. Her skills (of healing, house chores, crafting) are real deal. But according to the adventure guild receptions after she read Aqua adventurer card, her intelligence is one of the lowest she ever saw. Due to her god-like pride, she is a spoiled brat. Plus her insane high manna pool, (no cool down), make her a game breaking mechanic.

Megumin: A dark-brown-haired Arch-Mage lolly from "Crimson daemons village", anti demons specialist, in a red colored mage outfit. She is smart, bratty, a ticker, and like rest of her clan a show-off maniac. She know a single spell of explosion magic (mini/baby nuke), once per day, that is a finisher move, after witch she eat the dirt. She also expert in Alchemy.

Darkness (Lalatina Ford Dustiness) A blue eyed blonde with U-la-la body. She is a Crusader of noble blood of noble house and soul. As her highest stats is endurance, she don't hesitate to stand in front, to shied others from harm. She loyal to her friends, a tank that (never?) lay a single hit, a wall that you can count on, and if possible; shes always for taking an extra damage, if possible.

-A funny fact about that "Hit me baby!" line... Well, Lalatina is a masochist. But that line itself, it come from when I was playing a League of Legends (years ago), and I for the first time played a 1.April (week long event), named Ultra Rapid Fire, URF. The game mod ridiculously decrease a cool-down of everything, completely changing the pace of the game to a fast tactic. "Leeroy!!" Jump in into action. Instantly, that was my favorite mod. During the first match, I already know, what build I was going to play next round.

Introducing to enemy team: Sonia, a mute musician, who are a squishi, crushable, mage, healer, (assassin); low hp, second slowest champion in game. But, ditching AP or any fake-meta usual habits; I go; full HP build, stacking up Live Armors, whit +1000HP +%HP-Regeneration… (stack-able)...

"So when they arrived…" (I give a commentary, for the host of the talk show, during a replay playing on screen.) "I dint play her as a tank. I play her as a wall. (to protect my team) Meet a masochist, with HP higher that your entire team, and insane HP regen." Then I shout: "Hit me Baby!! I, Can, Take it!!" Gi-Gi, Good times… :)

Actually, they will/shall be capable to take me down, if they focus on me. She was banned from URF mod, but still was better, that Vampire who broke game while exploiting untargetable effects. "You can't hit me if I am Immoral!" Sadly I think, my (not following stupid meta) play-stile had something to do, with her to be nerfed to point: "Go back to kitchen a make me a sandwich!" Plus the "Play this way! The meta is a law code now, you muss follow!" owerhull of the game, caused the game to not be fun for me to play anymore. (This was long years ago.)
