Kazuma's POV
"Anyways, we're here."
In front of us was the pond where we'd had our first date/family picnic. We sat down and began eating the sandwiches which I'd brought.
"Mmm! I didn't realize that sandwiches could taste so good~"
"When your cooking skill is as high as mine, anything's possible! Heck, I could probably cook up a toad slime smoothie and you'd still love it."
"Mmph!"
"You've got crumbs on your face."
I brushed them off with my hand. As I did this, Megumin closed her eyes.
"You really enjoyed that, didn't you?"
"Mhm. It's nice not having to wipe them off myself."
"Come on. Admit that you like having me touch your face."
"F-fine. I do."
Why are we like this?
"You know, it's shocking that you can say things like giving me a hand with my pent-up feelings so casually, but you get embarrassed whenever we do something like this."
"Shut up! You're the same! Didn't you almost refuse to feed me that one time?"
"And? You already knew that I'm a pervert, so it's only natural for me. I see no argument for you unless you're admitting that you're a per-"
"I'm not a pervert! What makes you think that?!"
"You're always rubbing up against your staff, moaning, and talking about how much you love it. Plus, it's pretty clear that explosions turn you on."
"..."
"Honestly, I'm not sure how I can satisfy that unless… Nah. You can barely stand as it is. It'd be cruel to have you carry me back home."
"Wait, what?"
"I know explosion, remember?"
"Yes, I remember! Are you going to cast it for me?"
"Yep, although when I do, you'd better not do anything to me."
"What do you mean? You'd probably enjoy it."
"Remember that time in the bath?"
A look of realization shot across her face, which quickly turned to anger.
"Yeah. You called me jailbait."
"You stripped me naked! And on top of that, Aqua called me the pedoNEET!"
"Fine! I won't do something like that, ok?"
"Ok. Here goes nothing…"
This feels… slightly more underwhelming than when I used it against the devil king. Still, I can still feel my mana coursing within me!
"Kazuma…"
A wave of wind hit both of us, knocking us both over.
"How do you get turned on by this?"
"H-how do you not?! That… was… amazing!"
"Oh please, I'm just an adventurer. It couldn't have been that good."
"Look!"
It's difficult to look up… Wait, is that… a heart?
"Huh. I guess studying explosion magic for over a year really helped me."
"Even I couldn't control it that well! I mainly relied on my innate talent for explosions, rather than my understanding of them! A clear mistake in hindsight…"
"Please stop moaning and rubbing against your staff. Save that for bed."
"Huh?! W-why are you looking, pervert?!"
"I can't exactly move very well."
"R-right."
"Anyways, c-can you feed me a sandwich?"
"How can you be so composed while asking about my kinks, while stuttering when you ask me to feed you?"
You know, being dragged to and propped up against a tree isn't so bad.
"Open wide…"
For someone who gives me this much of a hard time, she's blushing an awful lot.
"You know, I'm a really good cook."
"You just love tooting your own horn, huh?"
"Hey, it's the truth."
"That's… fair."
She can't even look me in the eye? This is kinda embarrassing for me, but it's not that bad!
"Ahh- Mmm."
"Do you have to look that happy while eating your own cooking?"
"Hey, you're the one feeding me. Not sure how big a difference it makes, since my food's already so rad, but it's definitely not bad."
"Why can't you be more grateful? You're literally getting a younger girl to feed you while you're too exhausted to move. Many people would pay a fine price to do the sa- YAAHH! What was that for?!"
Once again, drain touch is my greatest ally.
"Just shut up and enjoy it."
"Ok. Fine."
Then again, this is kinda nice. Getting my girlfriend to feed me… Hm… I can already move again, but- hang on, did she just…
"Megumin? Are you still awake? Hello? Earth to Megumin!"
You know, I never did get a chance to get back at her for the holy sword Excalibur thing…
Megumin's POV
Why is Kazuma…
"Kazuma! What on earth did you do to me?"
"Gah! Nothing!"
This guy…
"H-hey! You can stop patting yourself down! I want us to be awake for our first time! Besides, you know that I don't have the guts for that!"
"I guess so… Still, what were you doing?"
"Huh? Nothing at all. You can stop worrying now."
Hm…
"Here. Don't choke."
"Mmph!"
This tastes amazing! How can anyone be this good of a cook?!
*puah* "That tasted good, Kazuma, but please let me eat it myself next time."
"Huh? You didn't like it?"
"I… Fine. Next time, warn me in advance and wait for my go-ahead, ok?"
"Sure. Here comes the airplane."
"Huh?! Stop treating me like a kid!"
"Relax, I'm just teasing you. Plus, if you're a kid, wouldn't that make me a lolicon? Besides, do you want it or not?"
"Thanks for asking, and yes, I do."
We must've been here for hours…
"Horw long wurz I ourt?"
"Swallow then speak!"
*gulp* "How long was I out?"
"Eh, a few minutes. Mana exhaustion doesn't last too long, at least for a bit of draining."
"Alright then…"
I can't help but feel like something's off… Still, this feels really nice and the food's amazing~
"Woah, could you like… tone down your face a bit? You look a bit too relaxed."
"How should I look then?"
"...Fair enough. You look pretty cute like that."
"Thaaank you."
"Stop slurring your words!"
"I can't help it…"
"Oh, forget it."
It must've been hours… I feel like I'm drunk again.
"You must really enjoy being fed, huh?"
"Yesh… *gulp* I also really like your cooking."
He tries to make a move on me right after he assures me that he won't but he blushes and looks away when I compliment his cooking? This man is a walking contradiction.
"Are you that compliment starved, Kazuma?"
"Huh?! I… I guess, yeah."
"Tough luck, I guess."
"Hey! Isn't this when you shower me in praise? Come on, do it already!"
"You entitled jerk! I already gave you a compliment so be happy with it! Now let's keep feeding each other these sandwiches. I already told you how good they a-"
This tastes really good~ Now to return the favour.
"Tharnk you, *gulp* Megumin."
*gulp* "No problem! Kazuma's so cute when I'm feeding him!"
And there it is again. We both blush and look away. Jesus, what are we going to do with each other?
Kazuma's POV
"Do you really need me to carry you?"
"I'm too sleepy to walk~"
"I'm not even sure if there was alcohol in those anymore…"
"Of course there wasn't! I'm just tired-"
"You sure are"
"And alcohol has nothing to do with it! Do you honestly think that a few sandwiches could do that?"
"Yep. 100%."
"Besides- wait, what?"
"I said that that amount of alcohol probably could do that, considering what happened-"
"No! You win, you win, just please don't remind me…"
"We should head home anyways. It's really late."
We hopped into Megumin's bed together and quickly fell asleep.
