"When the hell did we have a mansion?" I mutter staring on at the huge building I cranked my head over to them quite upset "and why wasn't I told about this?"
"Sorry. While you were in prison we had to exorcise the place as it was full of fuck off ghost dolls" Kazuma states
"You vanquished a house of ghosts while I was imprisoned for a mere few hours... ok. My castle is better to mind you" I reply trying to act all stuck up and snobby. Truth be told I was a little jealous.
Aqua walks past scoffing to herself "but you can't return to your castle as it belongs to the devil king. So you know good luck getting it back"
I bash past her pissed off "yeah yeah. I'm getting first dibs on my room." I swung the doors wide open marching up the stairs striding up and down the corridor. I stopped and rubbed my chin "this will do"
"That's my room" Megumin muttered
"Well, it's my room now," I state
Megumin wines "ahhhh come on I've got my things in there"
"Well, either you move your stuff or you share the room with me," I state. Megumin goes bright red by the thought. I noticed this grinning sinisterly "that also means sharing a bed. The bathroom. Who knows what could happen"
Megumin looked like she was about to die of embarrassment squealing "I'll move room!"
Megumin runs out into the room holding all of her stuff running out she storms down the corridor as I laugh my ass off "Megumin I was joking you can have that room. I wasn't. Ahh never mind." I look at Aqua and Darkness who are giving me odd looks "what! You didn't actually think I would do such a thing! Whatever" I open the door to see an empty room. It didn't even have a bloody bed. Great. It, however, did have a wardrobe in the middle of the room "Hey Aqua what's up with this wardrobe?"
Aqua pokes her head around the door shrugging her shoulders "don't know it was just here when he got the place."
I turn back to the wardrobe baffled as I wander up to it. I place my hand on the door and stepped back "it's cold"
"This room is cold" Kazuma states
I press my head against the door shaking my head "no it's not that. There is a draft. Like something is behind this door."
Aqua scoffs "that's impossible! Look I walk all the way around the wardrobe it's physically impossible for anything to be inside making a draft. It's not bigger on the inside."
"The Doctor would disagree with you on that regard," I mutter. I open the wardrobe to see wholly coats lined up. The breeze, however, felt stronger and stronger. I stepped inside the wardrobe passing through all of the coats. I froze stepping outside of the wardrobe "guys seriously you need to see this"
I stepped into the wardrobe as the others followed me. I could hear the faint echoes calling out until they were all met with silence. Snow blasted my face as I stepped out onto a white sheet of snow. Followed by trees covering the entire area "what the hell!" Kazuma whispered to himself "what is this?"
"It's like that movie I saw as a kid. Ha. I feel old. That was long. A long time ago." I smile to myself
Aqua shivers sneezing "it's so bloody cold!"
"That's your fault for wearing such a skimpy outfit! What are you the goddess of again? Whores?" I snap
Aqua tears up shaking Kazuma "Kazuma Kazuma! Y/N is bullying me!"
Kazuma smacks her over the head pushing off her "get off me you swine! Your a goddess fight your own battles.
Aqua sniffling wipes her eyes "I want to go back! Come on it's too cold!"
"Go back? Are you joking." I chuckle slightly "we are inside another world. Once we got through by walking through a goddamn wardrobe. I want to explore. Look at us. The goddess, archwizard and the wardrobe."
"I don't think that's the title to that film" Kazuma whispers
"Yeah well I don't see no lion nor do I see a witch" I argue. As I say this reindeers blaze past me almost taking me down as I barely manage to dodge them I roll forward as my face drops into a serious look. I roll my eyes "you can't be serious." I stood up to see a beautiful pale white girl sitting in a carriage.
"You there. Boy. Come here" a soft voice whispers I look at Kazuma confused as the voice spoke up again "yes you. Please come here"
I gulp walking up to the carriage. The girl was wearing a long crystal white dress and held a long ice staff I looked at her slightly weary "can I help you?"
"What is your name child?" She said softly. She's like the same age as me...
"Look. Lady. Very good looking lady. Can I just say damn girl you are fucking beautiful? Sorry" I whisper quite embarrassed
"That's quite alright. I'm honoured you think such a thing. What is your name" she giggled
"Y. Y/N" I mutter heating up.
The girl smiled dearly "why don't you sit next to me?" I turned to the others who were looking at what me confused. I gave them the five minutes gesture as I climbed into the carriage sitting next to this girl. She bushes up next to me as she places her hand on my leg "Your an adventurer, aren't you? Travelling far and wide. You probably never get time to relax. I could help you relax. Take a load off. It must get rather lonely"
"Rather not really. My teammates keep me rather busy." I admit.
"So your the leader yes? Such a large responsibility, wouldn't it be nice to not have to worry about such things. I too am quite lonely. I am the princess of this land. Barnia. I am however alone. Would you consider perhaps joining me? We could live like kings and queens. Together" she stated. Barnia. Your fucking joking me.
"I have never found someone to settle down with. It never crossed my mind... in my last life, I didn't really do much with myself. Even now it's hard to find someone when you're the devil king general. But you would never understand would you?"
The girl now basically on top of me looked me dead in the eyes "no I do! I do. The world judges you for who you are not what you are. You know what I see Y/N. I see a boy who cares deeply for his friends and just wants to be loved. A boy who seeks attention to people. Because he never got it before."
"How do you know this?" I mutter
"Because I too feel the same way. Y/N L/N marry me. Be my king and never leave me" the girl begs
"Umm Y/N you know you can't marry a girl you just met" Kazuma mentions
I press my finger against Kazuma lips as I stare at the girl in awestruck "Kazuma haven't you seen like every Disney film. Let me have this. Hush Hush. You were saying?" The girl handed me Turkish delight I turn to Kazuma smiling "this girl is even giving me Turkish delight! I hate Turkish delight and I want to eat it" I turn back to the girl smiling "I'm sorry dear but what was your name again?"
"Pico" She states.
My face dies down as my eyes widened. That damn song plays in my head. No. No. Anything but that. Pico! "Umm, you know what. On second thoughts I change my mind. I think I'm just going to go back"
Pico gripped onto my arm giving me a death stare "you think you're just going to leave me? Future husband"
"I would rather not thanks. I've had one jealous witch to deal with would rather not have queen join that list. Besides, I actually prefer my friends" I mutter. Ice begins to freeze the carriage. I go to reach my staff only for Pico to literally on me giggling. Man if her name wasn't Pico I would be so about this "if you don't get off me." Pico smothers me in kisses. I try to break out unable to move "Ok girl if you don't!"
"Let go off my best friend now!" A voice yells out. We all look up to see Megumin holding her staff up.
"Who the hell are you?" Pico yelled
"I am Megumin! Best friend to Y/N L/N. I shall not let you harm him in any way." Megumin rages
Pico smiles licking my face as she tilts her head towards her "Sorry Megumin But Y/N is taken. Now come on husband I insist eat a Turkish delight"
She stuffs one in my mouth which I choke on "I still hate this shit! You know thinking about it that film wasn't that good anyway!"
Megumin clutches her staff together as her face is covered in a dark shadow "if Y/N belongs to anyone it's me you bitch EXP"
"Jesus are you crazy Megumin you will kill us all! Again!" I yell
"I DON'T CARE!" Megumin screeches Pico begins morphing ice everywhere. I headbutted her breaking free. I fall off the carriage flinging for my staff. Pico freezes my arms stopping me from moving. I scream out in annoyance as Pico moves up to me. God damn it, I'm going to die from the ice queen! "EXPLOSION!" Oh no. A huge explosion hits us all blowing the entire area apart. I am lunged back as the entire forest is set alight and destroyed. I lie down completely caped in snow coughing up dirt. I groan opening my eyes to see Megumin kneeling down over me sobbing "Y/N?" Megumin hugs me tightly crying "I thought I lost you!"
"Trust me I'm just to be hit by explosions, It's going to take more than that to kill me. Megumin you alright" I whisper
"Y/N. Y/N. Y/N!" She grips me tighter making me crack "I don't know what I would do without you."
"What are you on about?" I chuckle slightly "do you remember how I treat you? I think you can do much much better than me"
Megumin shakes her head snuffling into my chest "I wouldn't want anyone else. Your the first person to believe me because of me. You're my best friend"
"You idiot. We both know I'm a burden to you" I giggle patting her head "let's just..." I was cut off by Megumin kissing me. I froze as she quite sloppy kissed me. It was obvious her first time.
She pulled away as I stared at her wide-eyed hearing slight squirms coming from Aqua "Y/N. I love you. You mean everything to me"
"Umm Megumin dear. Remind me how old are you?" I whisper
"Fourteen." She states
"Right..." I lift Megumin off me patting her on the head as well as patting my myself down. I pass her back her staff coughing slightly "how about we kinda forget all about this. And we'll try again in about four or five years. Ok ok? Let's just go"
"Thought you wanted to explore right?" Kazuma teased "we still have a lion to find"
"Look Kazuma I think I'll live not finding Liam Neeson. Even with my particular set of skills I just want to go home plus Megumin is giving me weird looks. Aqua is never going to let this go..." I grumble
I walk past Aqua only to hear her whisper "pedo neet"
I sigh as we step back into the house. I shut the door and throw the wardrobe out of the window. Thinking about it more and more I did hate those films. What stays goes on in Barnia stays in Barnia. Why do I feel like shutting Megumin down like that is going to be the death of me? I have a bad feeling about this.
