Explosion Series: Stylish Sword Pierces His Explosion Riddled Heart!

"I already told my parents plenty of times that I want a younger sister. And it must be a sister that is not related to me by blood, so they need to hurry up and divorce, and remarry with someone that has a daughter. That was the first time my parents beat me up."

Kazuma headed out of his room, and heard someone clearing their throat. He turned around and looked at the source of the noise and found a certain blonde woman staring daggers at him.

"So, how's life in the capital, Onii-sama?", she said, mockingly.

Kazuma made a disgusted face, sighed, and said," Look, I didn't want to have to resort to threats but if you keep up this charade to cover up your jealousy, I won't hesitate to…steal."

Once again, he wagged his fingers threateningly. Claire froze up and made a sound in her throat and began to stutter, now flustered."W-what do you mean jealous, huh? You want a fight? I'll give you a damn f-fight. I'm not jealous at all!"

"Hmmm so you'd have no objections to me marrying my cute little sister then?"

"I WOULD because y-you're a scummy man of no character! You'd corrupt her!"

"Corrupt who, Claire?", a small voice said in a cold tone. Even Kazuma shivered at the tone.

"Princess Iris! As expected you are just as adorable today as- please don't stare at me like that."

Iris puffed up her cheeks and scolded Claire," Here I was, focusing on my lessons when I hear you screaming and bickering with my future husband in the hallway! My study room is far away and yet I can hear you two! Oh, Rain-san, I'm sorry for running away but these two just won't stop fighting!"

Rain was running behind Iris and was panting. After all, she was a mage. She wasn't used to running after members of royalty who were physically at the peak of humanity, after all. Kazuma, meanwhile, was doing his best to not sneak a few glances at her heaving breasts.

"PRINCESS, LOOK AT THIS LECHEROUS MAN! No woman is spared from his disgusting and objectifying gaze!"

Kazuma shouted back," Oi! Mind your own damn business! You're just jealous because you aren't busty and that nobody wants to ma- ow,ow,ow! I'm sorry Iris please stopppp!"

Iris had walked beneath the two and grabbed both their ears, pulling them down as punishment. Kazuma was in pain but Claire was...blushing?!

"Tch! Another Darkness type character with no shame! Lolicon! Pervert who stares at my face and beautiful eyes!"

Iris sighed, and hugged Kazuma. Kazuma was caught off-guard. Claire looked on jealously while Rain looked tired of their antics.

"Wasn't I being scolded, Iris?"

Iris sighed again, but this time happily. "Yes, but I just can't resist hugging Onii-chan."

Kazuma blushed like never before and gave Iris some headpats before disentangling himself from her. It was as though this tiny sister of his had used her 'Exterion' move on his heart, and tried to rid it of all the Explosions the Crimson Demon had left on it.

Kazuma was about to speak up, but was interrupted by a sound that seemed to tear through the fabrics of reality. His heart started beating fast. There was absolutely no doubt. His Megumin had arrived. His knight in shining armour, or in this case, a red robe and black cape, was here to rescue him, a male damsel in distress! Yes, a damoiseu in distress!

…

My name is Megumin! The greatest archwizard in Axel, and the number one mage of the Crimson Demon Village, she who has vanquished the Demon King and claimed the title as her own! I walk the path of explosions and use the mightiest magic known to man to strike fear into the feeble souls of my enemies! Yes, my presence itself is enough to annihilate most opponents! Fear me, mortals, for I have come to claim my man for myself and rescue him from the clutches of the princess!

I hummed happily, glad my speech that I was to deliver at the capital was perfect. Aqua was happily sleeping beside me in the carriage, which Darkness was driving.

I began to strike poses that would help me demonstrate my love for the cute man who belonged to me, and at the same time would leave spectators awestruck. It was a very niche category to pose about, but I would make it work! All for he who has chosen to traverse the path of romance and explosions with me! What a nice man!

"Megumin, sit down before you fly off the carriage while striking these poses.", Darkness gently chided me, the number one mage in Axel.

"Huh huh huh. My might is too great for me to succumb to the laws of nature and fall as a result of gravity, of all things. Huh huh huh."

"What's with that laughter, huh? Who taught you? Did Kazuma corrupt you in just 2 days?"

"Oh, silence, you wench with no morals who is in heat all year round! You tried corrupting my man by taking advantage of him twice so you have no right to speak, slut."

Darkness immediately teared up and blushed," Kuh! To think a young child such as you would be able to- a-ah! Stop hurting me! O-or actually, don't stop...hehe...am I weird for being turned o-on by this?"

I looked on with disgust and stopped pulling at her, and went back to my seat, staring out of the window.

"Kazumaaaaaa. Just hurry up and come back, idiot. I miss you."

Aqua chose that moment to wake up. She yawned, stretched, took a swig of her wine and then began to yawn even louder. "Well, I'm going to sleep. Goodnight."

Darkness and I looked at her with an inscrutable expression. "A-aqua...it's noon. You just slept."

But Aqua was already asleep.

I giggled. I had missed their antics, after all. Nothing could beat the fun I had when all 4 of us came together, after all. I just couldn't wait to show Kazuma off to all of them, and show them how he was no longer as much of a sexual predator as he was earlier.

"Oh, we're here.", Darkness announced. I prodded the self-proclaimed goddess with the end of my stick and stood up. The world was not ready for the mass destruction I was about to unleash.

…

Kazuma ran to his room, and then the window, where he saw the aftermath of the explosion. A shockwave had reverberated throughout the entire city, but not a single person was harmed.

"As expected of my girlfriend, a master of Explosions."

Kazuma then peered at the smoke which seemed to be taking on a peculiar shape. Once he read it, his heart started beating faster, and he began to blush.

Iris too rushed towards the balcony and looked on at the smoke. She gasped and then blushed a bit too.

The smoke spelled out a sentence, somehow. It said…

KAZUMA MEGUMIN

"Ahhhhhh, Megumin, n-not in public, geez!", he twiddled his fingers together and blushed even more than he had when Iris had hugged him. Iris looked on in jealousy.

"Well, since I have never managed to make Onii-chan act in such a feminine manner...it is fair to say that Megumin has won the competition. Oh well, I'll just be the best little sister type character for you!"

Kazuma was about to pat her head, thank her and tell her she already was, but he was interrupted by Iris blowing a raspberry, and saying,"As if I'd give up that easy! You really fall for these tricks easily, onii-chan." Iris then hugged him again. "You're mine! Not hers!"

Kazuma looked at her helplessly. "I knew Megumin was a sadist but Iris…? This is a very scary development."

…

I am Iris. The crown princess of the Kingdom Of Belzerg. Daughter of King Jadwig "Sheer Shield" Belzerg and sister of Jatis "Stylish Sword" Belzerg.

But more importantly, I am the betrothed of Satou Kazuma, a man of many talents, who vanquished the demon king and his generals in less than 2 years since his first public appearance. I may also affectionately call him "onii-sama" or "onii-chan", but we are not related by blood.

I love my onii-chan. He is a man who cares for me, and is not afraid to be himself even in front of nobility. I love his honesty, and how upfront he is about his desires. Far better than the snakes who pretend to be good but have ulterior motives.

He is a good man. I know that many years later, no matter what happens, I can rely on him for everything I may need or want. After all, he is the single most reliable man in this world. And so, I want to marry him and live my life out with him.

Yes! My speech was perfect! I'm sure that even onii-chan would be moved to tears by it.

"Princess. Princess! Princess Iris!", Rain-sna said, snapping me out of my reverie.

"I'm so sorry, Rain-san! I was busy thinking about the...ceremony.", I explained, trailing off towards the end due to embarrassment.

Rain-san smiled at me gently. "Yes, I understand. But you should focus on your studies too, you know? After all, the crown princess needs to know about the kingdom she's going to rule!"

I smiled back, but I know the smile didn't reach my eyes. After all, I was tired of being treated as the crown princess. Yes, the luxury and authority is nice but...I enjoyed being 'Iris' and not 'Crown Princess Iris "Stylish Sword" Belzerg". It was a pain to recite my titles at every event. I wanted to skip on that bit for my wedding speech but I was forced to include it.

That's why I love onii-chan. He doesn't treat me as a noble. He doesn't look at me as the Princess. I know that he looks at me and sees nothing but his cute sister, Iris. He may be having lustful thoughts at the same time, but I'm fine with that. I enjoy his company. I enjoy spending time with him and listening to him recount his stories.

Just as I was thinking about him, I heard him too. Perhaps my love for him was great enough to hear his voice in my head, as though he were speaking nearby?

And then I heard...Claire? What was she doing in my head?

I sighed. The two were fighting again. I got up, much to Rain-san's surprise, and ran towards the two.

"-corrupt her!", Claire shouted.

"Corrupt who, Claire?", I said in a cold tone that even made me shiver. When had I evolved from the little sister type character to the Ice Queen type? Was I now about to do the famous 'ara ara' onii-chan had taught me about?

Claire turned around in shock and immediately started flattering me but I gave her my best cold stare. Claire stopped flattering just as suddenly as she had started. Today, I really was on my A-game for the so-called "Ice Queen MILF" archetype that onii-chan had told me about. I didn't know what a MILF was but onii had assured me that it was something all young women of my age aspired to be. In fact, I had already told Claire and Rain-san that I wished to be a MILF queen when I grew up. When this was published in a newspaper, there was apparently some uproar when a few adventurers like onii-chan, including that Katsuragi person, told my guardians what it meant. Claire said it was something extremely sexual, but I doubt my oni- on second thought, that does sound like him.

But I digress.

I noticed him staring at Rain-san's heaving breasts. Claire, of course, brought this up as justification to not marry him, and he retaliated with a few insults that I was sure hurt, but I must step in, as an adult, to stop these children from bickering again.

I pinched their ears, and brought it closer to myself, letting go only when onii begged me to stop. He was surprisingly cute when he was begging me to stop…

I mentally shook my head to clear it of these dangerous thoughts, and then hugged him. He patted my head, which felt very nice. I really did love him.

And then a giant boom tore through the castle. I knew it. My rival, my boss was here!

Onii-sama rushed to a nearby balcony. I followed him soon after and was greeted by a horrifying sight.

KAZUMA MEGUMIN

I then saw my onii-sama act in a way that I had never seen before. He began to act just like those young maidens did when they were flustered! So this was the power of my love rival! As expected of my boss!

I, of course, pretended as if I had let Megumin win the competition, and then "jebaited" onii-sama. I'm sure he was proud of his cute little sister for learning so quickly!

I hugged him hard and knew he was squirming and looking at me hopelessly after I "trolled" him twice.

Watching him squirm really was enjoyable…

No! Stop! Bad Iris! At this rate, I'll have evolved far too fast! Let me remain as the little sister type character for a bit longer!

…

A/N: I tried something new this time around, with first person POVs and stuff. Please do tell me how I can improve and if it was good, or if I should stick to the same old third person POVs. Thank you for reading! Also, I might write a bit faster for the next week or two, but nothing's concrete yet. So don't hold out too many hopes buttt expect me to write more Kazumin, faster, hehe. Again, thanks for reading!
