Natsumi POV
"So this the job you ofter to me Village Chief?" I asked him who is beside me right now, we both looked into a batch of garden of cabbage. Well this something like vegetables harvesting, shouldn't be hard job whatsoever.
"Yeah this the job, cabbage harvesting I already talked with the owner and you can negotiate the wages problem, ah there's she is." He continued and wave to a middle-aged woman.
"Good day Village Chief, is the person you talked about this morning?" Said the woman who later I know named Kisara. "Yes here she is, I believed she will able to handle this much of garden, don't tricked with her she actually pretty strong Miss Kisara"
"I'm glad, truly I'm need some hand in this kind of time Natsumi isn't it? the Red Prison teacher talk about you yesterday he said he finally had found the pure talent the new seed for fought the tyrant of demon king"
"Well about pure talent thing probably he little bit exaggerate. But saying I'm weak then that would be a lie..." I said proudly.
"This girl great I like the brat already. Okay let's do the thing shall we?" She added and guide me to the middle of this cabbage garden. And I'm quite shocked, because the cabbage is moving, and started to files. Use the side leaf like wings they're soaring through the air.
"What the hell? How? Can anyone told me? why the cabbage alive!?" I said in shock, but the both of them just looked me as if I who the weird one.
"You don't know? well all cabbages are like this, you dont know that? Well I think my expectations to you it's too high after all c'mon kid, show me what you got, prove me wrong defeat the vegetables or the sword of yours is just for show." Lady Kisara said with taunting tone. Of course my pride can't take it I will show to this flying cabbage garden owner.
First of all I expect for some fight from this so called cabbage monster. But instead of that happened those cabbages is running away from me. use some kendo move here is useless so I shot some of them down from the sky by sumonned sword. I realised that the cabbages is quite few here so I move to the next step I grab the Yamato, and with full focused demonic power to the blade and also full concentration on my mind I unleashed the ultimate move of Vergil
[Judgment Cut End]
the cabbages within 20 meters around me get chught by the slash that probably moved at speed of light. Whew... that move is so exhausting I will not used that move so often then. When I looked back to Kisara-san and Village Chief Hiropon. Both of them have an expression that as if they see a demon or something.
"Village Chief, am I seeing thing? How the hell she did that? I even not blinked my eyes and then..." Said Kisara-san try to understand the whole thing.
"I don't know how but damn... that was sick none of our clan able move that fast even enchace themselves with support magic." Said Village Chief.
So just like that I continue my job as vegetable harvester all around this large garden. Kisara-san seems want to see the Judgment cut move again but I said no to that. Then receive my payment. Village Chief ofter me a job as a bartender afterwards and I take that for afternoon shift. Finally reach my temporary home Yunyun's house. around 7.
"Natsumi-san welcome home.." Yunyun said welcome me. "You must be tired right? I grab a water for you here..." She added and gave me a cup of water. I gluped down the mineral water through my system and get refreshed and sat at living room chair. "So you want something to eat? we already have a dinner if you want something I will make it for you. I said to dad for wait Natsumi-san first but he said you would home late tonight."
"Your dad is right, he gave me some jobs around here so maybe I wouldn't have dinner together with you so often. But hey, at least we have breakfast together okay. So do me a favour and don't put such a sad face. Anyway why you still up its late. Or you doing some study?"
"No, I just waiting for you Natsumi-san. Because you know... I want we sleep together..." Yunyun said while hold one of my hands with her's.
"But... you can sleep by yourself right? Why so bother to sleeping with me?"
"So, you don't wanna? Natsumi-san?" She said again while somehow want to cried. So I decided to not continue that subject rather following what she wanted. Have a little sister is so pain in the ass. Why Sakurai Oneechan able to bear with me anyway? And she always kind of enjoying things too is she a masochists?.

Normal POV
After few days at Crimson Demon Vilage Natsumi started to blend into the life around, work at some various place get some money to fund her journey, and in the process she get used to some weird behaviour of this Vilage residents as well. Some other day she helped Megumin and Yunyun field project to help them get enough exp for graduation and somehow shocked by a fact that Megumin put all of her exp points to a simple explosion magic.
"Are you serious Megumin? You pour all of it to this specific spell? Well I'm not spell expert or whatever. But teacher said that magic spell is useless. " Natsumi said when she looked into Megumin skill card. "How rude you say like that Natsumi. let me show you the greatness of explosion magic. You will take back your words earlier for sure."
"Let tell you something hotshot. in whatever the world living in, the balance is important. Beside that explosion magic consume lot of mana. You not Naruto with a kyubii inside him. That somehow gave ridiculous amount of chakra."
"Naruto? Kyuubi? Chakra? What are you talking about? You know Natsumi. You said something wierd sometimes." Megumin said confused because Natsumi mention the contents from the great Shounen manga in her past life.
"Uhmm let's forget about it shall we? You wouldn't understand anyway. Hey both of you will graduate soon right?" Natsumi said try to change the topic.
"Yeah, maybe we will graduate at the end of this month" Yunyun answered the question.
"Cool, I think I will leave too... It's shame that I couldn't able see both of you graduate." Natsumi said. And this statement shocked both of Megumin and Yunyun in particular.
"What??? Natsumi-san, you will leave!??? Why?"
"Owww hey, don't scream right on my ears Yunyun" Megumin complained.
"Well since I able to get enough money and that also much to give to your father. As my thanks for introducing me to the jobs. Let me being a freeloader at his house in top of that." Natsumi scratch back of her hair nervously.
"When, you leave..." Yunyun asked.
"Maybe next week... this not like I hate you or something. I'm grateful really for knowing both of you, Yunyun and Megumin, and also all of this Vilage people. Well aside being weirdos, they're good people."
"I see..." Yunyun said in low voice and Megumin don't said anything, she don't against Natsumi's decision or anything she thought all of that is up to Natsumi alone.
"Hey don't be so sad, it's not like we can't see each other for good. Uhmm... Megumin, demonstrate to me the greatness of explosion magic of yours. You don't talk big aren't you?" Natsumi said provoked Megumin at the end, hope that enough to change the gloom mood about her leave.
"Of course, meet me and the plains behind the forest across my house you will see it." Megumin said. And just like that, when the night comes, Megumin, Yunyun and Natsumi gather around at the location. Megumin started to do a magic enchant. The mana she had is consecrated at the top of her staff. A magic circle formed and then blast... powerful explosion devastated the forest. Not longer after that all villagers and guards alerted they think the demon is attacking their territory.
"What the hell is that? I never seeing that kind explosion in my entire life. that something would happen if nuclear laboratory exploded by human error." Natsumi thought.
"Megumin, Natsumi-san. let's get outta here, the Vilage guard is coming they will make us into trouble." Yunyun said and that snapped Natsumi back to reality. And she realise that all of them will get into sticky situation if got caught.
"Megumin, quick or they will got you-" Natsumi couldn't believe her eyes, in such dire situation Megumin don't move any single limb. And lie down face first on the forest ground, as if all of her strength is gone. "Megumin! What are you doing!? It's not a good time to fool around!" Natsumi added and tried to pull Megumin.
"I used my entire mana on that great strike. So I can't move any limb, hell I even not have any strength to get up. You need to carry me..."
"What the hell..."

After a few questions form town guard who investigated the source of the explosion. Natsumi and the others can take a deep breath. "That explosion magic of yours is totally a crap. I admit the fire power but lack of efficiency at actual battle. I suggest you take another intermediate magic." Natsumi said.
"Like hell I would take those boring magic spell. Don't care whatever you said, I'm the explosion magic artist you can't change that fact." Megumin Said keep persistent about her explosion principle.
"Suit yourself then... Yunyun let's go home your father probably worried about you too."Natsumi said and depart from Megumin's house. Both of girls Natsumi and Yunyun walking under the light of full moon while holding hands with each other. "Natsumi-san, are you really want to leave?" Yunyun said.
"Yes I am. I not intended to stay long here, I must go to my own journey."
"But why so soon? If you wait me I will go with you!!!" Yunyun said with high voice make Natsumi face the Crimson clan Mage. And seeing a deadpan expression on Natsumi's face, make Yunyun realize that she get angry to Natsumi with no reason.
"Very well, if you want to go to an adventure with me, you must prove that you strong enough. Now, you even not complete yet the magic school of yours. Why I should bother to bring you?" Natsumi said so harshly.
"After all in world we're living. The result is matter, no matter how you fought or working hard if you don't meet the decent results. Then all your doing is all in vain." She added
"That's not true, our hard work will pay sooner or later. You wrong Natsumi-san... The result is not everything"
"Hmph! what a hypocrite, if you says so. Then why you want to go with me when you not yet done clearing what you should've done? You willingly trash out the necessary education. Simply because you want to accompany me adventuring. Prove to me you're worthy then I will think again to take you with me." After said that Natsumi leave Yunyun alone when she not go to Vilage chief house instead she go to bar that she usually working at.
"What are you doing here Natsumi? I think I don't put you on night shift" Said the owner, who looked like a blacksmith rather than bar owner. Or he would be a bouncer that a good idea too.
"Nothing, I just want to be here that's all" Natsumi answered and grab some liquor from the counter.
"I bet you had a fight with Yunyun, Vilage Chief daughter. Hey, that's for costumer!" He said
"Don't be cheap, I'm also work here. Just give me some employee discount or something."
"Easy for you to say. If you want you can sleep at room upstairs. I'm heading home, don't forget to lock the doors. Don't drink too much you have shift this morning" Said the bar owner after that she went home left Natsumi alone with her wishkey.

Next Morning.
"Yunyun? you're alone? Where's Natsumi?" Megumin asked when she don't seeing Natsumi with Yunyun this morning. "Can you don't mention that jerk for a moment?" Yunyun replied with a little angry mood. "Wow slow down there, I'm just asking Shesshhh..." Megumin said, knowing the fact that Yunyun not in a good mood she don't poke that matter anymore.
At school Arue also want to ask Yunyun why Natsumi not with them, Megumin quickly silence her friend. "Arue, I think Yunyun and Natsumi having a fight. So I think it would be best if you don't talk about Natsumi for a moment." Megumin said Whispered to Arue's ears, and Arue herself just nod as sign she understand.
"What??? A fight? that's so rare for Yunyun even would fight with someone. I sense love there. this would be a good material for my novel hehehe... But wait, I must proceed this smoothly. if not I will destroy the valuable information." Arue thought. And then she do her plan at lunch break, she carefully asking Yunyun about her fight with Natsumi. While Megumin also there.
"Yunyun, you not look so great today, what's up? Have a bad day?" Arue said open the conversation. "Yeah... something like that" Yunyun replied. "You want talk about it? I'm sure me and your beloved Megumin here would happy to hear you" Arue added.
But Megumin not into Arue's joke and keep an eye to the wannabe novelist. Watch her if she saying unnecessary things.
"Well... I have some fight with Natsumi-san yesterday night. She not coming with me to my house and probably stay a night at Rukobin's tavern, the place she worked at as a waitress."
"Probably she would back this afternoon, when her shift ended and take her stuff and then leave me alone... I already told her I want to come with her. Seeing a new world before this Vilage, with eyes and my own hands..."
"Then she said that she no need of my help. She said a half baked person like me will weigh her down... The one who not even completed her own formal education only half assed person she said. That's so cruel... I will show her what I capable of, and make her sorry and put her arrogant head on ground pleaded to me to be with her... I love that image already kukuku..." Yunyun make a terrifying expression when she said that. Make her two people front of her make a difficult face.
"Megumin, isn't this kinda bad? I mean look at her... that Yunyun make that villain like laugh... something certainly isn't right" Arue said while whispered to Megumin next to her.
"I agree what a person that Natsumi... just within few weeks she changed Yunyun this way... I knew it, I should keep an eye on her now, I'm to late." Megumin replied back with a low voice make sure Yunyun don't hear her.
"Anyway thanks Megumin, Arue, talk with you make me feel better for a bit" Yunun suddenly said make Megumin and Arue surprised.
"Y-yeah... you're welcome, don't hesitate to talk with me if you need to. I'm glad to help the future chieftain" she said akwardly
"You always good with your word Arue..." Megumin replied
"You need that if want to be a novelist..."

"Yunyun, I think you're to close to Natsumi. She an outsider, that's common when she said she wanted to leaving the Vilage. I also want to do that too you know. Becoming adventurer and make my own journey. The difference between me and her that she two steps ahead of me. Only that I think, and when you had your own resolve you must do it by yourself And some support form people who dear to you..."
"What's your point then? Megumin?"
"My point is, if you want prove yourself to Natsumi and make her regret to what she said. I will help you, we will adventure together Yunyun..."
"Megumin... are you sure?"
"Yeah... let's show to her how the Crimson Demon clan can do. Shall we?"
"Un!... thanks Megumin, you're the best... We Crimson Demon clan should stick together." Yunyun said that while she hugging Megumin at same time Megumin slightly blushing.
"Slurppp... Megumin X Yunyun still best"
sudden thought by no other than Arue who watching from the distance. And writing into the novel concept of hers.
At the same time Natsumi wake up affter she was devastated with some whiskey shot. She wash her face drink some water try to sober herself. "Alcohol sure make you relax and forget the shit you get caught into. But the aftermath is worse than hell"
She opened the windows let the sunlight through the room and then, she clean up the tavern make it ready for her shift this afternoon.
When her shift is ended she thought to visit Yunyun's house. But she just standing at front of the house and doing nothing. Apparently she still feeling guilty after everything she said to that young mage.
"I can't be like this... I must apologize to Yunyun. After all her and her father kindness to you. This how you pay their kindness back?" Natsumi thought to herself and then Hiropon Yunyun's father out form the house and shocked Natsumi. He called her before Natsumi could run away.
"Ah, Natsumi... I've been looking for you... come with me. I need help with some broken fences" Natsumi sure couldn't run away and decided to help Village Chief.
"I heard you have fight with Yunyun right?" Said Village Chief broke the silence between them. That first accompanied with sound hammer and nails collided with each other. Natsumi just silent didn't answer the question from the man beside her.
"I just tell Yunyun she was not ready... but she insisted. And at the end I said few rude things and probably hurt her feeling something like not competent useless and things like that I truly being a jerk hahaha" Natsumi said while her interlocutor just nodding as sigh he understand.
"Listening your story I have little bit understand your worries to my daughter. Well how you said it, young blood carelessness? and rebelliousness? I don't know actually hahaha..." Vilage Chief said.
"Dont hit the nail so hard... that make the nail bend and not look nice on fences. It's same with human relationship. If you hit too hard you bend that like you bend the nail. But if you not hit the nail with right amount power either the fences will not joint together and assemble like you want. Everything need the balance Natsumi."
Natsumi just silent and keep nailing the board. "Well probably that's enough, today weather is so bright and clear. it's so hot isn't it? Let's grab something fresh..." Village said again, he quickly disappeared and few minutes later he brought cold lemonades and gave it to Natsumi. "Here lemonade sure nice to drink when the weather like this."
"Thanks Village Chief..." Natsumi replied and take the lemonade then drank it and feels the freshness run in her system. "Work hard and get paid that's how the world going around hahaha..." Village Chief suddenly laughing and Natsumi just smile for little bit. "Still I need to apologize to Yunyun... despite how worried I'm, saying such a thing to her truly not good after her and your kindness to me Village Chief."
"Hmmm... probably it's alright... that girl have some stubborn side on her. Well if think that the best just do it then..."
"Well if you excuse me Village Chief. I take my leave." after said that Natsumi left Village Chief behind who still observe his newly renovated fences in his silence he thought.
"Leave her to you it's the right decision after all Natsumi..."

Natsumi just walking around and the Crimson Demon Village even after she said she want make up with Yunyun after her fight. But it seems Natsumi herself had no idea how. "Well I already telling Village Chief that I will make up with Yunyun, but how? ummm how about wait her at the school? Probably she just avoided me... how about wait her at some place she show me around here? But what if she had something like secret base in order to avoid me? my God this so hard!!!" Natsumi thought. And then when she has the dilemma within her, Natsumi unconsciously arrived at Megumin's house and meet her when she anoit enter her home probably after she already home from the school.
"Natsumi??? What are you doing here?"
"Hello Megumin... what a coincidence it's not? Natsumi said calmly but at the inside she panicked and confused. Why when she at a deep thought about how to makeup with Yunyun. But her feet led her to Megumin's house
