Summary: What If Kazuma Chose A Power Instead Of The Useless Aqua? Will He Finally Show His True Potential? Kazuma/Harem Except For Aqua I Hate Her. Might Be OOC. There Are Some OCs And SI.

A/N: My dear Uncle Moe, yes, the great Moe Lester, is dying of Cancer and we need your help. More on this later.

Chapter 15: Destiny of the Dungeoneering Party! Part 1

Naruto was defeated, and there were no excuses he could make to excuse his defeat, because he got defeated.

Kazuma's speech about the power of friendship and believing in your nakama resonated with him. From now on, he would respect his nakama and treat them well.

He remembered how he killed Sakura and all the annoying girls who were annoying him, but he regretted doing that. Thankfully, he learned a reincarnation jutsu that would bring them back to life. He planned to do that as soon as he returned to his original world.

"You taught me an important lesson, Kazuma," Naruto said, in gratitude. "In return, I'll give you this." He handed Kazuma his kuro katana. Kazuma accepted it and sheathed it by his back, so now he had two swords like Kirito from Sword Art Online.

"I'm also sorry for insulting your harem," Naruto said, as he looked at Megumin, Chris and Darkness. "They fought well and they are very powerful in their own right. I shouldn't have underestimated them just because they were women." He looked at Chris specifically.

Naruto sensed a divine power in Chris, but he didn't know why she was hiding it from everyone else. It wasn't his business, so he didn't pry, but he couldn't help but be curious about it.

"I'm glad you finally understand the power of friendship and the importance of having nakama," Kazuma said. "Without my nakama with me, I wouldn't be where I am today."

He smiled at Megumin, Chris and Darkness, who smiled back. They weren't talking because they understood that Naruto and Kazuma were having an important conversation, and women should just stay quiet while men are talking about important things. While Naruto and Kazuma were talking, Chris took out a pot and started a fire with the lighters Kazuma invented. The women cooked a meal while the men had a conversation.

As Kazuma and Naruto finished talking about the importance of having nakama, Naruto's eyes widened when he smelled the smell of ramen in the air. He drooled and kawaii fox ears came out from his hair as he floated in the air and smelled the trail of smell of the ramen like in looney toons. "Is that ramen I smell?!" he exclaimed.

Chris was surprised to see Naruto suddenly appear beside her. "Eeek!" she shrieked. "Uh, yeah, we made ramen for everyone…"

"OMG! You're the best! Naruto said. He took a bowl and practically inhaled it. Everyone sweatdropped when they saw the powerful enemy from earlier acting all silly while eating his favorite food.

Kazuma laughed as he watched his new nakama acting silly. Then the other girls laughed along as well. Soon they were all laughing and even Naruto joined in the laughter.

"I'm sorry guys, I'd love to hang out some more, but I should go back to my world," Naruto said, the next morning. They set up camp by the roadside and Naruto slept for the night as well, but he said that he needed to go the next morning.

"It's sad to see you leave so soon," Kazuma said, "but I understand that you have a home to get to."

"We'll miss you, Naruto-kun," Megumin said. "I hope to see you again!"

"Maybe you can teach me your ninja tricks next time," Chris said.

Darkness also bid Naruto farewell.

"You guys don't have chakra, so I can't teach you jutsu, but I'll think of something to teach you next time," Naruto said. "Well then, see ya laters!"

He disappeared into a puff of smoke while waving goodbye.

With Naruto gone, the gang resumed their journey to the town of intermediate adventurers, Lexa. Their journey had been hindered by bandits and even a powerful ninja from another dimension, but the rest of the travel from then on was smooth sailing, and soon they arrived into the town of Lexa.

The buildings were a bit larger than the ones in Axel and there was more buzz in Lexa. "As expected of a town for intermediate level adventurers," Kazuma said.

"There's a lot of stores that sell equipment!" Megumin said in delight, as she looked at the various stores focused on selling battle equipment.

"Since we all need different equipment, why don't we split up to buy stuff we need?" Kazuma said.

The girls agreed with his decision. Kazuma distributed the money they would need and watched them go in separate directions. Megumin wanted to see the magic shops, Chris wanted to check out the Thieves Guild and Darkness wanted to visit the blacksmith.

Kazuma didn't need specialized equipment as an Adventurer, and he already received a powerful sword from Naruto. Instead of looking over the wares, he headed over to the Lexa adventurer's guild.

The building for the Lexa guild was bigger than the one in Axel, but it was the same on the inside in terms of the noise and the gathering of loud adventurers. It was the middle of the day and they were still drinking and partying. I guess some things never change, Kazuma thought.

He headed over to the receptionist, hoping to look at what quests were available. The receptionist was a beautiful redhead. She wore a uniform that looked similar to the ones the Axel guild receptionists wore, but the Lexa one not only accentuated the chest, it also exposed the midriff. The skirt was also very short and you could almost see their panties if you looked long and hard enough. Kazuma blushed and didn't know where to look because the receptionist was practically naked.

"Welcome to the Lexa adventurer's guild! What can I do for you today?"

Kazuma tried his best to look at the receptionist in the eyes, and the receptionist was impressed by his gentlemanly behavior, because most men took advantage of her skimpy outfit to check her body out. She also noticed that Kazuma was very good looking and had an aura of confidence around him. He seemed different...not like the other brutes in the guild.

"Can I see your available quests?" Kazuma asked.

"Certainly! Here's a list!"

She handed a list over to Kazuma. He briefly browsed over the quest listing and found one that seemed interesting.

"A new dungeon has formed in this town?" he asked.

"Yes, although it's quite rare, the formation of new dungeons do happen when certain conditions are met," the receptionist explained. "This time, we believe that the new dungeon was formed due to the influence of some stray phantoms. The phantoms gathered in an abandoned mansion and created a 'haunted house'. Once monsters were drawn in by the miasma of the phantoms, this haunted house was then promoted to a dungeon."

"How did the haunted house form in the first place?" Kazuma asked. "From what I know, adventurer's are often tasked to exorcise haunted houses."

"Oftentimes, an Arch-priest is needed to exorcise a fully developed haunted house, as there's many forms of undead and spiritual bodies that inhibit one. A normal priest, or even a group of them, don't have the expertise to exorcise a fully developed haunted house."

"I don't understand why a haunted house would transform into a dungeon when monsters come in, though," Kazuma said.

"A dungeon is defined by a building or an enclosed area, such as a cave, which houses several monsters within," the receptionist said. "Dungeons can either form naturally, spawning by itself with monsters and treasures inside, or in cases like this, a dungeon can be defined as such when monsters gather in one enclosed space."

Kazuma appreciated the lesson and thanked the receptionist for explaining. The receptionist blushed because she rarely got thanked for doing her job, especially by handsome men like Kazuma.

The receptionist told Kazuma that there were other adventurers hoping to conquer the as of yet unnamed dungeon, however, it seems that none of them had yet to succeed. If the adventurers in Lexa couldn't finish the job, it might be necessary to call reinforcements from a higher rated guild, or even ask the royal knights from the capital to come and help, although that will require some funds from the town.

Once Kazuma accepted the quest, he waited at the restaurant area of the guild for the others, as they had agreed beforehand to meet there. Megumin was the first to arrive. She bought some new robes and a staff. The robes made her look like a kawaii magical girl. Kazuma wasn't used to seeing his kawaii kanojo in frilly, girly clothing and so he blushed really hard.

"I can't believe I'm dating such a kawaii girl like you," Kazuma said, as he stared lovingly at Megumin.

Megumin blushed and hid herself. "Stop staring, I'm so embarrassed… Does it really look cute on me or are you just saying that?"

"It really does look cute on you," Kazuma said. "Well, anything looks cute on Megumin."

Megumin's blushed redder than a tomato on fire.

The lonely guys watching got jealous of the cool Kazuma and his cute girlfriend. They stared daggers at him and looked at him like they wanted to kill him because they are lonely and fat incels who can't compare to someone as cool and great as Kazuma.

But they got even angrier when Chris and Darkness showed up. They also started flirting with Kazuma and cuddled up with him as they ate dinner. The red headed receptionist from before also gathered the courage to ask and join Kazuma for dinner. The other hot waitresses and guild staff also came in and started flirting with Kazuma. Soon, even the other female adventurers were vying for Kazuma's attention. He didn't want to hurt anyone's feelings so he didn't resist when all the girls in the vicinity lined up to make out with him. The guys got so mad that they started to conspire against Kazuma.

"I overheard that that bastard and his party will go to the new dungeon tomorrow," one of the bad bois said.

"I reckon we can easily defeat that bastard and even have our way with the girls, hehe~!"

And so they made their evil plans against Kazuma.

Will their plans succeed, or not?

Find out in the next chapter!

A/N: Guys I told you last time that my Uncle Moe caught Cancer and I asked you guys to donate but no one donated. Do you not care about what happens to my Uncle Moe? What has he done to deserve this fate? Did you guys know that Uncle Moe is a patriotic American who once served his country? Well, he couldn't finish basic training, but that was because he said that the drill sergeant was a minority race who didn't want to see a white man succeeding and that's why he kicked Uncle Moe out even though Uncle Moe did nothing wrong. He only wanted to have some fun with a female recruit but the ho reported him for 'sexual harassment'. Uncle Moe told me that it's the girl's fault, that all women who want to join the military should know what's expected of them. We don't have the money to pay for Uncle Moe's treatment so please, please halp us guys. He even had me open up an only fans account to try and raise funds, but the money is still not enough. If you want to help a former veteran, if you want to help someone who once served the great country of America, then please consider donating! Uncle Moe is not like those other ex-soldiers who do nothing all day and bum around once they get out of the army, blaming their laziness on 'PTSD'. Uncle Moe is still trying to serve the country by spreading awareness of the fake 5G virus that everyone is so scared of these days. Whenever he sees the fake news on TV, a stray tear falls down Uncle Moe's eye. He can't believe that his fellow Americans are believing this nonsense. He wants to spread awareness, he wants to join Anti-Korone virus rallies, he wants to cough on unsuspecting bystanders in order to prove a point, he wants to open up packages containing face masks in stores and cough and fart on them and put them back in their packages, but he can't do that now that he's bedridden. If you guys want to see a good man out and about, doing good things for society, then please consider donating. Let's do our best to save my Uncle Moe Lester. And if you guys can't donate because you're a poor millennial who spends all their money on electronics and Avocado toast, then at least spread awareness by sharing the hashtag #MoeLesterLivesMatter. Thank you for listening and God bless America.
