Oni-4 had taken on more toads in the morning. It was a breeze, shooting, punching and hauling bodies. At this point he'll be rolling in Eris coins.

"Well looks like the southern Bastion is cleared." Yokai said as Oni-4's adventurer card began to glow.

"Looks like you leveled up… says you can choose to upgrade your skills, you can choose arc barrage, void switch, and finally sunbolt." Yokai said as the card soon appeared in the Titan's hand.

"So what do any of these do?" Oni-4 asked.

"Arc barrage will allow you to throw a barrage of arc punches while actively using fist of havoc, Void switch will allow you to detonate your attached void detonnaters by mimicking to press a detonator button, and sunbolt will allow you to charge your grenade and turn it into a hot bolt that will explode and burn foes on impact." His Ghost explained.

"I'll choose void switch, I think upping my void ability would really help." Oni-4 said as he applied the skill upgrade.

The two then watched a giant explosion drop out the sky and Oni-4 smiled a bit.

"Get em kid." He said as he returned back to the town. The exo was turning in bounties. He seemed really popular in the guild.

Oni-4 decided to kick back a bit and enjoy a little lunch with his earnings. He began to make small talk with some of the other younger adventurers and soon got some info on a person of interest. He soon realized someone else may have information on the devil king and finished his meal before departing from the guild.

Oni-4 had gotten word that there was a lich, in town who ran a magic shop and may have had some ties to the devil king, and it might just be a good place to start to his investigation.

He went towards the magic shop only to run into a blonde man blocking his way, along with a pair of female followers.

"Ah I have heard about you, the latest rising star, may I grace you with my presence." He said and there was just something about that, that made the titan feel irritated.

"No, you're bugging me." Oni-4 said as he pushed past the guy, However Blondie became more persistent on knowing the titan.

"I'm sorry but my name is Mitsurugi Kyouya and you are?" Kyouya asked.

"Oni-4, now do me a favor and leave me alone." Oni-4 said as he continued to walk.

"Oni-4? I'm sorry but that sounds like an ominous name, where I come from Oni means demon and 4 is an unlucky number, because it's pronunciation in Chinese Mandarin sounds a lot like death… you wouldn't happen to be an actual demon that would you? The goddess Aqua hates demons." Kyouya went off only to find Oni-4 had already left and was long gone.

Oni-4 had found himself outside the magic shop. When he entered he was greeted by a Beautiful and well-endowed woman. She had fair skin and curves that make the most disciplined of titans quiver. Oni-4 composed himself as she turned to face him.

"Welcome to my magic shop, you're definitely new, my name is Wiz." She said.

"Oni-4 pleasure to meet you." He said confidently as he turned and eyed the magical items.

"So what brings you in today?" Wiz asked as The Titan put down the potion.

"Mostly information, I am on a quest to slay the devil king, I was told you may have had ties with him." Oni-4 asked and Wiz placed her finger on her chin.

"I did yes, what do you seek?" Wiz asked as Oni-4 turned to face her.

"I want to find his location so I can… pay him a visit." He said and Wiz began to nod off.

"I don't remember how to get there… to be honest I don't remember a lot…" She said as she tapped her fingers together. Oni-4 sighed as he rapped his knuckles against his helmet.

"If only It was that easy…" Yokai murmurs to Oni-4 as Wiz grabbed his hand.

"No need for the frustration, why don't you sit and I'll pour you a cup of tea." Wiz said as she guided him to a table in the shop and pulled out a chair for The Titan.

"Oh, uh sure." He said as he rubbed his hands together. Wiz went off to make some tea and Oni-4 notes her hands were cold.

"Well isn't she nice." Yokai said as they heard something break out back.

"Oops, that was the second plate today." Wiz called out as she began to boil some water.

"So tell me about yourself, what class of adventurer are you?" Wiz asked as she placed a plate in front of The Exo.

"Me, I'm a Titan, I'm fairly new to this town." Oni-4 said and Wiz nodded to his response.

"Titan… never heard of that class. Is it new?" She asked and Oni-4 shrugged.

"Where I come from a Titan was a dime a dozen, I guess I'm the first Titan in these lands." He explained.

"So what does your class specialize in?" She asked as she heard the kettle whistle.

"Hold that thought." She said as she went back and bought a pot of tea. She poured Oni-4 and herself a cup of tea.

"Thank you, anyways a Titan can provide an unbreakable defense or an unstoppable assault." He concluded and Wiz smiled.

"Well you sound like an excellent warrior, now why don't you remove your helmet and enjoy the tea." She said and Oni-4 took off his helmet. Wiz stared up and down at his face intrigued by what she saw.

"Oh my, you are definitely not human?" She remarked.

"I was a human, now I am an exo, a war machine, but not really looking for a war." He said and Wiz got a closer look.

"Like a golem?" She asked.

"Sorta, I'm just like a regular person, just made of metal, I can still eat and drink, just watch." Oni-4 said as he poured some tea down his mouth.

"Amazing, just amazing." Wiz said as she sipped her tea. Oni-4 let out a sigh of relief, he guessed fascination was a better reaction than fear.

"Do you still sleep?" She asked.

"Yeah, it's still the same I just close my eyes and drift off." He said as he poured the rest of the tea in his mouth.

"That was good tea." Oni-4 said as the door opened and in stepped in Kyouya and his followers.

"Aha I suspected as much, you are a demon." Kyouya said as he unsheathes his sword. Oni-4 stood to his full height and dwarfed the blonde teen.

"Let's take this outside, wouldn't be civil to be drawing weapons inside a store." Oni-4 suggested with quick jab that sent Kyouya outside on his rump.

"What the hell is that strength." He said as he got up to face The Titan.

"Please, I stepped up against Monsters bigger then you and still fed them their teeth, this is nothing." Oni-4 said as he raised his fist.

"Will you not take up your arms to fight me?" Kyouya asked as Oni-4 utters a humph.

"Who needs a weapon when my fist is good enough." Oni-4 said as the two began to fight. Kyouya brought the sword down onto The Titan who simply blocked with the blade on his forearm. The blade let a gnarly notch on it and he made a mental note not to let it hit him.

Oni-4 took a step back and chucked a flash grenade at the boy. He made sure to tone down the blast and up the flash.

"What th-" Kyouya said as the grenade explosion threw him back and blinded the blonde.

"I can't see!" He said as he was struck over the head by the exo with a swift chop, which resulted in an easy knock out.

"Next time invest in a helmet." Oni-4 said smugly and turned to his female followers. His red eyes pierced their hearts and invoked a fear that hushed them.

"Give him this message when he wakes, I'm not a demon, stay away from me, and to have better manners. Now piss off." Oni-4 said and they nodded before he turned and went back into the magic shop. Inside he found Yokai making small talk to Wiz.

"Ah Yokai being a little braver I see." Oni-4 said as Yokai flew towards him.

"I hope you taught that kid a valuable lesson." He asked and Oni-4 laughed.

"Yep, knocked the kid out cold, left him to his orbiters to drag his body off." Oni-4 said.

"Well not a subtle message but an effective one I hope." Yokai said as Oni-4 put his helmet back on.

"Well I have to go back to my camp. Thank you for the tea." He said and Wiz smiled.

"Come back Anytime, this shop gets boring." She said as The Titan left. He began to make the trip back to his makeshift camp, albeit with a little complaining.

"I wish we had a ship, it would be more comfortable to be asleep in the sky then on the ground." Oni-4 complained as he stopped by a butcher and bought some meat.

"Yeah without our connection to the tower we don't have a sparrow or ship." Yokai said as Oni-4 got to his campsite and lit a bonfire.

"Yokai, do you still have those salt and pepper shakers." He asked and Yokai made two appear for the Guardian.

"A little dry rub seasoning should give this plain meat a bit of flavor." Oni-4 said as he seasoned his meat. He looked up to see a familiar face.

"Hello Megumin, come to join me for dinner?" The Titan asked and she nodded.

"I already ate but if your offering..." She said as she sat beside The Guardian.

"I take it that was your explosion I saw in the field earlier today?" He asked her and she smiled.

"Yeah, I got my spot in a party and had a blast doing a frog bounty… thanks for telling me about them." She said as The Exo turned over the meat.

"No problem, sometimes we all need help." He said and then served her some food on a platter made of light.

"Are you a mage?" She asked.

"Nope, just a Titan with light powers." He said as he made himself a plate. While the two ate, Oni-4 began to look towards the stars.

"You know I remember traveling through the stars, I was so fond of space. So many places to explore." Oni-4 said.

"Really, you know I always wondered if there was life up there? Is there?" Megumin asked.

"Oh yeah, you best believe it, I had my fair share of intergalactic encounters with aliens." Oni-4 said.

"Alright tell me about this life beyond the stars." Megumin said as she rolled over and Oni-4 began to recount his some of his many battles and adventures until the crimson demon was fast asleep.

The Titan draped his mark over her to use as a blanket as he began counting his coins.

"You know Yokai, I think we should really invest in real estate." Oni-4 said to which his ghost chuckled a bit.

"Good luck, so Far what I've read and seen the most we would be able to afford is a stall in a horse stable." Yokai said as Oni-4 began to ponder.

"We should probably take on a more serious bounty tomorrow. I mean roads paid decently but we need to rake in big money." Oni-4 said as he laid back on a tree.

"Yeah, maybe explore further out of the town." Yokai said and his guardian nodded at the idea.

"We'll rest up for now we have an adventure to go on." Yokai said as the exo was already fast asleep.

(So I see this has taken on a bit more interest, this was a shorter chapter as I really want to build onto the konosuba timeline, and insert events that eventually crossover with Kazuma and friends, while still maintaining a bit of originality.)
