Everything seemed fine after administering the medicine that Wiz gave him. He was a bit skeptical about the results, seeing as there was always a negative side effect to her potions that made things worse, but now it appeared seemed well...normal again. Kazuma was actually quite happy that he and the others were back to their healthy selves.

As the three sat in the hall to examine quests, Kazuma was silent as his eyes scanned through the numerous requests. Aside from the lower level quests that offered little to no reward, like killing various low-level monsters, or retrieving some item and returning it. Although, as Kazuma sat there and looked through each one, this presence of an unyielding glaring caused him to glance upwards. He noticed that Aqua, Megumin and Darkness were staring at him with blank expressions. It was quite uncomfortable, since they just stared and didn't say anything.

"Uh, is everything ok?" Kazuma inquires, his eyebrow being raised in curiousity.

They didn't say anything in response. Now this was strange.

"Uh, I'll be right back. I'm going to see if I can talk to talk to Luna for a bit..."

Excusing himself from the table, Kazuma made his way to the front receptionist, where the blonde was standing. Upon standing before her, she smiled with her eyes closed.

"Hey Kazuma. Looking for another quest?" Luna asks him, only to receive silence as a response. The cause of the silence was due to Kazuma being masmerized by the amount of cleavage that she had on display. He was still a guy, after all, so him staring at her breasts was normal.

"Kazuma, do you need something?"

Kazuma shook his head, getting back on track after his brief derail.

"Yeah, aren't there anymore quests available that pay more than these?"

Aqua and the other two watched as Kazuma and Luna spoke. They could each agree that a great deal of jealousy was brewing within each of them as he spoke to the female, this sensation intensifying as they witnessed them laughing wholeheartedly. They never received that type of attention from Kazuma--not once. They felt the urge to pull him away from her out of fear of losing him, despite the interaction being much less of degree than they assumed. There was a similar glint of animosity in each of their eyes as they were fixed on Luna.

"Ok, great news!" Kazuma tells his party. "There is a quest that gives us a great reward, as well as being super easy. There's no way that we can mess this one up! Let's go!"

Leading the party out of the Adventurer's Hall, the group didn't miss their opportunity to give Luna the most threatening glare. Even Luna was surprised that they even Aqua could look so intimidating, like the desire to kill was fixated on her. After the girls departed to catch up to Kazuma, Luna felt like she could actually breathe again. Just what the hell was wrong with them?

Kazuma and the rest approach the small village on the outside, just a ways away from Axel Town. Now, apparently, the quest was rid the town of some monsters that even they could handle. Kazuma was told that request would pay them handsomely, and since they needed the Eris, he wanted to get that debt payed off as soon as possible. This was going to be easy!

Entering the small village, the first thing was how quiet it was. It was like they were in a ghost town; not a living soul was present, yet there was obvious signs that people did inhabit the area. Walking deeper into the village, it wasn't until then they noticed the monsters, which had heads of pigs and bodies of obese woman, that were sauntering about. Once spotted by them, their sights were set on Kazuma; dropping everything they were doing prior, the monsters rushed towards him while salvating, their eyes pink.

"Noooo!"

Kazuma was the first to turn back and run, his feet kicking up dust as he ran for dear life from them. He didn't even bother to note that Aqua and the others were still standing there, watching as they approached. Little did he know that they weren't planning on fleeing like he did.

Normally when fleeing, he would hear Aqua bawling her eyes out behind him, along with the other pairs of feet accompanying the sound of his own. And now that he was even thinking about it, why didn't he hear anyone in pursuit after him? Coming to a skidding halt, he turned around just in time to see the others in action.

Kazuma witnessed as his party members were fighting the beasts. He assumed that when he ran they would be trailing behind, but seeing that they were combatting the monsters, he couldn't leave them. Grasping his sword, he rushes back, only to help his party. They seemed to be thinking about the reward as much as he had been. Nonetheless, as he drew closer, Kazuma could hear the screams from the monsters. Their cries pierced through the atmosphere, Kazuma witnessing as Aqua and the others were decimating them. It was to a degree that Kazuma was feeling sorry for the monsters...

"Don't you dare lay a fucking hand on my Kazuma!"

Wait...what?

"Kazuma is mine! You don't touch Kazuma!"

Hold on a minute...

"You keep your damn hands away! Kazuma belongs to me!"

Kazuma couldn't believe what words were entering his ears. They were killing the monsters because they were focused on him, though they did so not because they wanted the reward; they did so to prevent them from getting near him. It was was like they became yandere all of a sudden, mercilessly killing as they declared their love for him. And not to mention the carnage they had created while bashing them with their weapons and fists. Kazuma could actually feel his stomach churning at the sight.

With the remains of the monsters now a pile of beaten corpses, the three turned to look at Kazuma. Their eyes were just as pink as the others, not to mention the green goo--most likey the blood of the monsters--covering them, Kazuma's eyes went owlish in response. They...they weren't ok...

Kazuma tucked tail and ran. He ran as fast as his he could, as long as he could. He didn't dare stop, the people of Axel giving him puzzled and worried expressions as he ran by them. They could see the absolute fear in his expression.

Tripping over a hole in the ground, Kazuma hits the ground hard. Luckily, Kris had witnessed this, coming to his aid to help him up. She had the same look of worry as the others did.

"Kazuma? Kazuma, are you ok?" She asks him, worry lacing her words.

"Kris...?"

"What happened? Where is Aqua--"

"They are not okay! Something... something's wrong with them!"

Before she could even get any further explanation, Kazuma quickly stood and resumed making his way back to their home. He didn't stop running, with everyone continuing to watch as he did. Kris eventually does the same, wondering what happened to them.

Kazuma slammed the door after entering his room, locking it soon after. He didn't even want to see them, hear them! Just what made them act this way? Ensuring that his door was securely locked, he then sat against the wall, not moving from that spot again.

The door leading into Wiz's shop slammed open. Shifting her gaze towards the door, she noticed the doctor walking in, a paper in his hand. He was quite worried, as well, presenting her with the paper as he stood before her desk.

"Wiz! Have you seen Kazuma? I just stopped by their home and nobody was there."

"No, I haven't. What's this?"

"It's about the symptoms that the girls were having. I assumed that it wasn't much of a threat, but after some testing, I managed to find out what really bit them! We have to find Kazuma to inform him!"

Wiz covers her mouth with her left hand as she noticed the image of the mosquito critter that was on the paper. It appeared that she knew of the creature too, that for certain. This was definitely bad...

"I gave Kazuma a potion a couple of days ago," she reveals. "But know that I know what I'm dealing with, Kazuma might really be in definite trouble."

With that, Wiz and the doctor leave her shop and head out to find Kazuma and his party. Hopefully they will get to him before it's too late...
