[You approach the guild, still tired as you stretch just in front of the doors.]

(Y/N): "Jeez, slept in a bit longer than I wanted to.."

[You open the doors as you're met with a familiar voice.]

Aqua: "Tada!"

[You look and see Aqua doing some party tricks as she entertains guests, such as making water come from fans and growing a flower as it blooms. She takes in the praise from the guests as she turns around and spots you.]

Aqua: "(Y/N), look! Don'tcha just love the new skill I acquired! It's a great addition to my already cool set of powers."

(Y/N): "Aqua.. that's just a party trick."

Aqua: "Konosuba!"

[You, Kazuma, and Megumin are sat at a bar as Kazuma looks over his card.]

Kazuma: "I have no idea how to cash my points in for new skills, I wanna try but I don't wanna get a skill that's lame ya know?"

[Megumin stops eating as she looks at Kazuma, with a bit of food still on her face.]

Megumin: "First you have to find someone with the skill you want to teach you how to use it, after they do the skill will appear on your card. Then to finish learning it just transfer your points over to the skill."

(Y/N): "Sounds simple enough."

Kazuma: "So like, if I had enough points and wanted to learn explosion magic all I have to do is ask and you'd teach me?"

[From beside you Megumin jumps at Kazuma as she gets close to his face.]

Megumin: "Yes exactly! That's all you'd have to do Kazuma, if you wanna learn explosion magic, I can teach you as much as you want! When you think about it, is there any other skill that's worthwhile to know, no there most definitely is not."

[She gets even closer to his face.]

Megumin: "Just say the word and we shall walk the path of explosions together!"

Kazuma's Thoughts: "Way too close for comfort.."

[He puts his hands on her shoulders as he pushes her away.]

Kazuma: "Easy kiddo, don't get so riled up. I've only got three points anyway so it's not like you..."

[He looks and notices Megumin's depressed expression.]

(Y/N): "Kazuma what did you do?"

Kazuma: "What the hell are you blaming me for!?"

[She takes a bite out of a carrot and slowly eats it.]

Megumin: "He called me kiddo.."

[Kazuma just puts his head on his hand and looks away. After a bit Megumin turns to you.]

Megumin: "I know I told Kazuma but I should also extend my offer to you. Would you also want to walk the path of explosions with us?"

[She looks at you with a curious gaze as you consider her offer.]

(Y/N): "For as much as I'd love to, I think I want to become better at a skill I already know."

[You turn to her as she looks down, a little sad, you put on a smile and rest a hand on her shoulder.]

(Y/N): "How about this, after I master my sword skills, I promise that explosion will be one of the first spells I learn, how's that sound?"

[She gets a small smile on her face as she looks at you and nods.]

Megumin: "That sounds great."

[You pat her on the back as she smiles you hear a familiar voice from behind you.]

Darkness: "Here you are."

[You turn to see none other then the perverted crusader that caught your eye the day before, Darkness. With her is grey haired girl with a teenage girl with a light complexion and purple eyes. She has short silver hair and a light purple ombre of a sort. Her outfit consists of a light blue scarf, a short green cape which goes down to her elbows, a pair of black elbow gloves with normal brown gloves layered over them, short blue jean-shorts, white knee-high socks with a blue trimming, brown boots, and a bikini-like grey top.]

Darkness: "Hello again, (Y/N)."

[You blush a bit once more as she sits beside you, Megumin and Kazuma looking in confusion.]

Darkness: "I assume that this is the rest of your team?"

(Y/N): "Well, other than a girl named Aqua, yes this is pretty much the rest of the team."

[She looks at them, you're a bit taken back from how formal she's being, knowing what you saw from last night.]

Darkness: "Then allow me to introduce myself, I am Darkness, a crusader. I spoke to (Y/N) here last night, and I'd be interested in joining your party."

[Kazuma takes your arm and leads you a bit away from the area you were sat at.]

Kazuma: "You didn't tell me you spoke to a level 10 hottie!"

(Y/N): "Well, yeah, but there's some-"

[Kazuma interrupts you as he speaks out loud to himself.]

Kazuma: "But knowing our luck with the last two, she's probably got something going on with her as well.."

(Y/N): "What do I not exist-?"

[He turns back walks over to Darkness.]

Kazuma: "I'm sorry, but I'll have to decline."

[She stands up from her stool and lets out a moan of pleasure, she holds herself as she shakes a little.]

Darkness: "Getting my hopes up only to crush them, how cruel!~"

[Kazuma slowly turns to look at you with a look of bewilderment on his face as you walk up to him and shrug.]

(Y/N): "I was trying to tell ya man.."

Kazuma's Thoughts: "Why is everyone here a nutjob!?"

[The grey haired girl walks up to Darkness and puts a hand on her shoulder.]

???: "Hehehe, that's now how you do it Darkness, you'll scare people away if you're that pushy."

Kazuma: "Uhm- who are you..?"

[She turns to him with a wink.]

Chris: "My name is Chris, as you can see I'm a thief, I'm also friends with this poor thing." [She points to Darkness as she says this.]

Kazuma's Thoughts: "Finally, a girl who seems to have her head on straight."

Chris: "Just now, I heard you two talk about wanting to learn skills, well how would you like to learn some thieving?"

(Y/N): "Huh?"

Chris: "Thief skills always come in handy here, plus it doesn't take all that many points to learn."

Kazuma: "Seriously!?"

Chris: "Seriously! Just buy me a drink an I'll be happy to teach you two."

Kazuma: "That's it!?"

[He turns to you, a look of amazement on his face.]

Kazuma: "Come on (Y/N)! Just imagine how much loot we'll be able to get!"

[You consider it as Chris looks at you with a smile. Though you shake your head.]

(Y/N): "Sounds nice, but no. Firstly I'm not even sure if it'd be useful for a Swordmaster, and secondly I made a promise." [You say gesturing to Megumin.]

[Kazuma just shrugs.]

Kazuma: "Whatever you say man. Barkeep, can I get a nice cold drink for the lady here!"

Chris: "Konosuba!"

[You and Darkness watch from the side as Kazuma stands in front of Chris, she's teaching him how to use Steal as you decide to strike up conversation with Darkness.]

(Y/N): "Hey, sorry for what went on back there.."

[She turns to you, curious.]

Darkness: "What do you mean?"

(Y/N): "Well he just kinda denied you only because of past issues we've had, I honestly think you have potential."

[She flares up a bit as you say this.]

Darkness: "Potential?"

(Y/N): "Yeah! Imagine how strong our party would be if we mastered our skills! A mage, an arch priest, a crusader, a swordmaster, and an adventurer, we'd be almost unstoppable!"

[She smiles at your enthusiasm.]

Darkness: "While that does sound nice, I much prefer being used as a shield."

[Your smile drops into confusion as you turn to her.]

(Y/N): "Huh..?"

[Suddenly you hear rocks fall as you both turn and see Chris looking down at her lower body in embarrassment.]

(Y/N): "Kazuma..?"

[He has his hands in the air as he opens them, and in that moment you figure out why Chris was embarrassed, as in his hands are a pair of women's panties, it doesn't take a genius to put two and two together.]

Kazuma: "JACKPOT!"

(Y/N): "KAZUMA?!"

Darkness: "Oh my..~"

[Chris puts her hands between her legs as she yells out in embarrassment.]

Chris: "Give me back my panties! Kazuma, give them back!"

[He doesn't listen as he swings them around in the air whilst laughing like a madman.]

Darkness: "What a truly savage act!"

[You've had enough as you pull out your sword and walk over to him, you turn it on its side so the pointy end doesn't face at him. You raise it and bonk him on the head as he falls to the ground in pain.]

Kazuma: "OW!"

[The panties fly out of his hand as Chris snatches it out of the air, sniffling.]

Chris: "Th-thank you (Y/N).."

(Y/N): "No problem.."

[Darkness walks over to you and grabs onto your shoulders and shakes you around.]

Darkness: "I MUST JOIN YOUR PARTY NOW MORE THAN EVER!"

(Y/N): "THAT WAS THE DEALBREAKER!? DON'T GET THE WRONG IDEA! I'M NOT LIKE THAT!"

Chris, (Y/N), & Darkness: "Konosuba!"

[The four of you return back to the guild as Megumin and Aqua wait for you.]

Aqua: "(Y/N), where did you guys go? You missed all of my dazzling party tricks."

[She looks and notices Kazuma rubbing his head in pain, and Chris and Darkness looking away in embarrassment.]

Megumin: "And what happened?"

(Y/N): "Well firstly, Kazuma-"

[Before you're able to finish, Darkness steps forward.]

Darkness: "Chris taught Kazuma some of her thief skills just now. He used them on her, stole her panties and then took all of the money she had as ransom."

Kazuma: "WOULD YOU PLEASE LET ME HANDLE THIS!?"

Chris: "I said I'd give him back his coin pouch, but he said that wasn't enough, I had to pay to get my panties back..!"

[Aqua looks at Kazuma in disgust as Megumin just looks on in horror.]

Chris: "He forced me to decide what my panties were worth!"

Kazuma: "NO STOP TALKING! I mean yeah that's pretty much what happened- BUT STILL!"

Chris: "He said if he didn't like the amount, he'd have my panties framed and hung on his wall like a trophy!"

[Chris continues to cry as Kazuma looks around, all of the women with disgusted looks on their faces.]

Kazuma: "Would you shut up already, you're gonna get me killed! Oh god every woman here looks like they want to chop my balls off, I need my balls!"

(Y/N): "Oh yeah, he was also sniffing them and said that they had, 'a nice womanly scent' to them."

[Every woman now scoffs and looks repulsed as Kazuma whips around and faces you.]

Kazuma: "(YYY/NNN)!"

[You hear a faint giggle beside you as see Chris, still pretending to cry, but giving you a wink and sticking her tongue out. You return the smile as Aqua speaks up.]

Aqua: "Sooo, did you really learn a skill or were you both just horsing around?"

Kazuma: "Oh I learned a skill alright."

[He turns to her with his arm outstretched.]

Kazuma: "Steal!"

[A glow brightens up the area as Kazuma has his fist closed. A smile grows on his face as you notice Megumin starts to cry.]

(Y/N): "Kazuma..."

[He opens up his palm, only to reveal a pair of black panties.]

Megumin: "What's your problem... did your stats and level go up or something.. because your class has gone from adventurer to pervert.."

[She holds up her hand, her head still down.]

Megumin: "Now then, may I have my panties back, it's a bit drafty.."

Aqua: "You are so icky.."

[Before Kazuma has a chance to do anything once more, you bonk him on the head with your sword.]

Kazuma: "OW STOP DOING THAT! IT'S NOT LIKE I CAN CONTROL IT!"

(Y/N): "Once is an accident, twice is on purpose..."

[Darkness steps in front of the two as she out stretches her arms.]

Darkness: "This goes beyond savage, how dare you shame her in public like this! I cannot stand here and do nothing, therefore I shall ask you again, will you let me join your party!?"

Kazuma & (Y/N): "No./Yes."

[You and Kazuma turn to each other as Darkness once again climaxes on the spot.]

Kazuma: "What's your problem, do you have the hots for her or something!?"

(Y/N): "W-what, no! Unlike you I don't want women in my party just to sniff their panties in my free time!"

[Kazuma gets a look of anger on his face. Aqua and Megumin watch in surprise as Darkness watches on in ecstasy.]

Kazuma: "Q-quit making things up you ass!"

(Y/N): "I see her for her potential, besides it's better to have 5 heads then 4."

Kazuma: "What potential!?"

Darkness: "How harsh!~"

[Aqua faces you.]

Aqua: "Hey (Y/N), is this the one you told me about, the one you spoke to when Megumin and I were in the bath last night?"

Darkness: "Konosuba!~"
