Chapter 10: A Challenger Approaches

I woke up in the middle of the night. A lamp next to the bed was on. I felt somebody laying on me. Wait are my hands tied. Wait. My clothes. I'm only in underwear. Yunyun. She was laying on top of me. Of course she was.

"Oi. what is this?"

"Oh uhhh Kazuma, you're awake!"

"You know what Yunyun. I'm going to turn a blind eye to this do as you please. Well actually could you untie me. It's a bit uncomfortable."

"You don't want to know why I'm doing this!? I had a speech ready and everything…"

"Nope don't know and don't care. I swear if you girls just asked I would say yes."

"Well uhh I'm going to tell you anyway. See I had challenged Megumin to see who could gain your love first. I had been trying to copy whatever Megumin had done for while now. Being nice and all. Then I realized it wasn't working so now I'm trying this. I know you're a pervert so I thought trying to seduce you would be the quickest way to get you to love me…I really hadn't thought this through have I..."

"Yunyun don't tell me things I already know. Now that you've said it outloud you've ruined the mood. You know that having sex with me wouldn't have made me fall in love with you, right? I mean sure I've had many a dream of doing so but you're gonna need to do a lot more than that to forever hold my love. Tell me, what do you really think of me?"

"... well you're uhmm… I think you're a sex driven loser."

"You know I can't really say that you're wrong. Now, be a dear and get off me."

"Sure."

Did I really just talk Yunyun out of having sex with me…. I'm a fool.

We both sat at the edge of the bed, wearing towels to cover ourselves.

"Yunyun. Let me help you out, since you don't exactly have a lot of experience interacting with others. How about it?"

"Really?! That would help a lot!"

"Okay so first, if you want to gain somebody's affection you should try and hold conversations with them. Kinda like what we're doing right now."

"Ahhh. Well I usually don't have much to say about stuff others talk about."

"Well then you should ask some questions. Ask how they are or what there opinion of something is. Don't just ask questions though, give your own thoughts too." At least this is what I can gather after living in this world, since my last life was spent as a shut-in.

"Alright. I think I understand. What do I do if a conversation starts to die?"

"Well you don't want to come off as desperate so try your best to ask a few questions but if that fails then abandon ship."

"Ah well thanks Kazuma. I sort of already knew all of that but I just wanted some confirmation. Thanks."

"No problem. Oi where's Aqua?"

"Oh her. I sent her off with some money to a local bar or something. The minute I offered her a drink she was off. Told her I was going to meet up with her later."

"Of course. That goddess can't resist a drink." That might actually have its perks. "Well are you going to leave her hanging?"

"I guess that would be rude, right? Where do you suppose I could find her?"

"Just look for the closest bar."

"Okay. I'll be off then." She said grabbing her clothes and a light coat. She dressed and opened the door. "Thank you, Kazuma. For all the help." She said walking out the door.

Welp after ruining what could have been one steamy night, I guess I'll go back to sleep.

K-O-N-O-S-U-B-A!

I had woken up early again. Darkness sure has been slacking lately. Wonder why. Anyway I woke up with the two girls hungover and asleep so I decided to head out and gather some information about the capital. I left a note on the door about that on my door before leaving, in case Megumin or Darkness needed me. Walking through the capital during the day made me realize how nice it really is. Sure, at night it's nice and all; street lights lighting up the roads and the castle enveloped in darkness, moonlight breaking through to create a silhouette. During the day the roads are filled with visitors and merchants, the air filled with laughter and chattering. Felt like the times I went to Tokyo. The capital was alive. I found the capital's guild and walked in. It looked identical to the one in Axel, but at least 5 times bigger. I wasn't here for a quest, I had enough money on me, but I decided to check the quest board anyway. There were a lot of reconnaissance quests.

I began to walk aimlessly in the guild trying to listen in on any conversations. I heard some talk about the king being away fighting the devil king's army. The prince, too. I suppose the queens in charge. Lucky for me I also heard that they have a princess. I was struck with genius.

I'm going to sneak into the castle and win the princess' love.

A/N: Alright! There it is. Hopefully everyone enjoyed this chapter and all. I haven't read the part of the ln where Kazuma goes to the capital (started reading the ln at volume 10 for no reason) so I'm basically writing my own version. Hopefully I don't ruin everything! Also I've noticed a certain fanfic getting a crud ton of hate and it's really upsetting. They should be allowed to write whatever they want without being crucified. Well not much I can do, I suppose. So that it for now, see you all later!
