Right after what happened in the household yard I woke up in a strange room totally healed, maybe because of Aqua´s healing magic. Guess I owe her one.

The whole place was suspiciously quiet for a mansion that was being attacked by a troll army with a catapult. I tried to stood up but I felt something really heavy on my legs.

— Zzzzzz….

I tried to see what it was but the room was dark too so I didn't get to see a thing.

Seriously… ¿What happened after I faded?

I was definitely healed but that doesn't mean I wasn't tired, even if I got up and went to help, I would pass out again soon so I decided to get some more sleep.

Before I fall asleep I remembered something.

I love you Lalatina…. I really love you… Even if sometimes you are a hopeless pervert, stubborn girl or a bothersome partner… I really love you…

…

¡Waaaaaaah I just want to die! ¡¿How could I have said such embarrassing things?!

I really just wanted to die at that moment.

But… that means that I finally managed to tell her how I fell… I´m kind of happy…

…

Wait… that means that I REALLY said those embarrassing things in front of Aqua, Megumin and a whole army… ¡AHHHHHHG I JUST WANT TO DIE!

My face was totally flushed at the moment. After a while I finally managed to get some sleep.

Darkness point of view.

I… can´t… move… any… muscle…

¿Did I make it in time?

¿Did I save Kazuma, Aqua and Megumin?

*Crack*

My sword just broke into pieces.

It really hurts…

I really need to rest-

Darkness fainted.

…

..

.

Suddenly Darkness began to hears strange voices calling for her.

— ¡Oi Darkness woke up!

Darkness opened her eyes, she saw her friend Chris waking her up. Darkness knew that something was wrong yet she didn't know what it was.

They were playing outside of Darkness´s house.

— ¿W-what were we doing Chris-chan?

— Geez… I was talking to you all this time

Chris pouted.

— Sorry, sorry somehow I fall asleep, ¿What were we talking about?

— ¿What kind of man would you prefer?

— ¿Ehhh?

Darkness´s cheeks began to turn red.

— ¡Ah! You are getting flushed Teehee~

Darkness fidgets for a while.

— ¿Would you prefer a handsome prince, maybe a badass bounty hunter?

Then Darkness finally replies.

— I don´t think that kind of boring man would do it.

— ¿Ehhhh? ¿Then who could do it?

Suddenly Darkness started to pant.

— My really kind of man didn't really have to be pretty or handsome, he could be weak willed enough to despite my love for him.

Chris couldn't even believe what she was hearing.

— Slightly pervert and a failure at everything. Someone who stays at home every day blaming the society for his failure.

— Haaaaah… ¿Is that so?

Chris knew that Darkness had started some strange kind of fetish.

— ¿Wouldn't you want someone who wasn't perfect, but who really loved and appreciated you?

— ¿Someone who really loved an appreciated me…?

— Yup, you certainly deserve more than a scum

— Someone who loved me…

Suddenly everything became blurry meanwhile a familiar voice was calling her.

— O-oi Darkness…. You c-can´t die… not now… ¿y-you know why?

Wait… ¡That´s Kazuma!

— ¡Hey Darkness…. No… L-Lalatina… You can´t die now….!

¿Did that means that I was dreaming?

Wait… Kazuma is alright… ¡I managed to save him!

Waaah I´m so relieved ¿by the way what is he saying?

— You can´t die because I love you Lalatina… I really love you…

…

¡¿EHHHHH?! ¿¡H-he just said that he … l-l-l-love… m-m-me?!

— Darkness… I really love you…

¡¿He really love someone like me?!

Darkness managed to speak.

— Y-you r-rea..lly mean it…?

— Yes… I really mean it…

…

¡¿EHHHHH?!

— D-d-dou you… really… like… m-me?

— I love you Lalatina…. I really love you… Even if sometimes you are a hopeless pervert, stubborn girl or a bothersome partner… I really love you…

…

He said that he l-l-love me…

— I-I´m so… relieved…

I don't know if this is another dream but… I´m really happy…

Darkness had a brief moment of happiness before Kazuma faint right after he confessed to her.

— O... oi K-Kazuma…?

Megumin looked at Kazuma laying on the floor.

— Waaaaah Darkness you should really get someone better than him.

— ¿Ehh?

Darkness wasn't used to those kind of things so she got quickly embarrassed.

— That hikkineet made some real progress confessing to you Darkness, yet Megumin is right that you should find someone better.

— ¡H-hey, don't be like that!

Aqua and Megumin looked at Darkness with suspicious eyes.

— So you really like him

Said Megumin and Aqua at the same time.

— ¿! Ehhhh?! I-I… Umm… Well….

— Well if you think about it, Kazuma fits exactly with the kind of scum man Darkness like.

— ¡H…Hey…!

— Hai, hai, if you think about it, now it makes sense all that time when Darkness and Kazuma spent more time together than usual.

— Yes and do not forget that every time they were together, they both blushed.

The suspicious look that Aqua and Megumin were giving to Darkness slowly turned to a mischievous grin.

— Awawawawawawa…

Darkness was totally embarrassed.

— Once Kazuma wakes up she will want to die when he remembers what he said kusukusukusu

Aqua´s eyes suddenly were filled with pure evil. After that, the remaining knight soldiers pushed back the almost extinct troll army.

Megumin, Darkness and Kazuma were taken to the household meanwhile Aqua healed the injured household knight soldiers and try to resurrect the rest. After that, Aqua went to the household too to heal completely her party members.

Later that same night…

Darkness was worried about Kazuma but at the same time she was too embarrassed to face him. Then a familiar voice whispers right at her ear.

— What are you up to lovebird teehee~

— O-oi Megumin…!

— Seriously, I suspected right from the start that something was happening between you and kazuma, but why him?

Darkness looked at Megumin with a bashful face.

— I… I like him not because of my… Emm

Darkness´s face turned red.

— Because of your masochism fetish?

— O-oi that´s rude… but I like the way he cares about his mates, the way he tries to comprehend his partner´s feelings…

— Darkness…

— Also, the way he helped and cheered me when I was losing faith about being a crusader.

The way he made me happy buying me a present… and the way he managed to confess her feelings he had for me…

— I always was worried about the man who you would like… I thought it was gonna be a total garbage, the kind of guy who wouldn´t treat you right...

— But… If it´s Kazuma, I´m kind of relieved

— Megumin…

Megumin and Darkness smiled at each other.

— If you want to go see Kazuma, he is in your room.

— Thank you Megumin, I really appreciate everything

Darkness started to walk.

— ¡But don't sneak in his bed or something naughty!

— ¡Megumin!

…

When Darkness arrived her room, she saw Kazuma sleeping. She sat on the bed right next to him.

Due to Aqua´s healing magic, Kazuma´s wounds were totally healed.

— I´m relieved…

She touched Kazuma´s cheeks and then stroked his hair for a while. After that she stopped after noticing that Kazuma´s hair was a messy.

— That´s my revenge for making me blush back then

Darkness giggled.

— To be honest Kazuma, I´m in love with you too…

— I really love you

Darkness got near to Kazuma´s face to the point their noses where touching each other.

She proceeds to get near his lips and then…

— Uunnng…

She stopped.

If I kiss him right now… I won't be able to see him getting embarrassed… W-wait… ¿I was going to g-give him a k-k-k-kiss…...?

She panicked and turned his face away from his. She looked at him once more.

— Geez… Look what you´re making me do…

She kept stroking his hair until she finally fell asleep in Kazuma´s lap.

And then the sun came out and Kazuma woke up.
