I know it took me more time than usual but I was busy these past days and I didn't really had the time to write.

Good reading ^^

Chapter 10 : Life going on.

''This is way better !''

A bedroom with four walls and a roof, finally isolated from the outside world by a locked wooden door !

After walking for more or less ten minute I found that large house and as I entered by the front entrance i was being immediately greeted by a smiling woman.

She seem to be the owner of that look to be hopefully for me a sort of hostel that had, hopefully again, a room to spare.

''She was gorgeous!''

That woman must be way older than me, but she got one of the finest body I've ever seen ! Her hips, her breast her butt, everything is way above average size of a woman of her age !

I wish I could have looked at her longer..

Needless to say she does not compete in the same category than Megumin, totally, absolutly not. After all Megumin is so childish, not sexy at all as the only thing that crimsom demon got is her immense cuteness, her innocent side, and that face she make when she got aroused..

''…''

Nevermind that. I shouldn't think about Megumin. Now I cannot get her out of my head..

In my mind all we done together keep playing like a movie dedicated about every details, every movement, every inch of her body. I remember literally everything..

I wonder what she's up to right now. Maybe sleeping? Yeah most likely while wearing that cute red pajamas I saw this morning.

By the way while I was doing her a lot of ''stuff'' in her room I didn't had the opportunity to satisfy my desires. Of course that was only because I wanted to be generous since she bestowed me with the view of her nude defenseless body and not because I didn't know how to handle it right ?

But what I mean to say is that even if the bed look cozy and warm I don't really want to sleep right now.

And even if I was in the mood to rest, a certain part of my body keep reminding me of my current psychological state.

After cursing myself to react this way to the mere though of Megumin I finally take care of my ''urges'' Then settle down and close my eyes, finally proceeding to fall in an heavy slumber.

Several hours later the piercing sun awake me up as those harsh nights at the barn act like a reminder of my current exhaustion and lack of sleep.

The mirror in the room does not disagree with that statement neither. I clearly look pathetic, having those gigantic dark circles below my eyes.

I quickly get outside the building and notice that the georgous older woman is nowhere to be seen.

I guess that a shame..

While walking way from the big house I make sure to carefully remember the path borrowed in case of eventuals ''new problems''.

This place could come in handy later if I need a place to stay again.

Now fully resolved I aim for the guild house where we usually meet up, and as I enter it, darkness sitting in one of the tables wave me to join her.

Hesitating at first, I walk toward her like nothing happened.

We exchange greetings like usual and soon we fall into silence, I don't know darkness enough but she probably must know that something is not right, she wouldn't act this way otherwise.

''Kazuma?''

''..yeah?''

This announce nothing good, I can smell it.

''What is a lolicon?''

Darkness tilt her head innocently to the side, asking me something that I surely didn't wanted to hear that early in the morning or even anymore in my life.

''Where did your hear that?!''

I shake darkness by grabbing her by the shoulder while losing my sanity every seconds passing by, my facial expression must be priceless, Its surely look like a pure mix of fear and madness.

But the poor blond haired girl don't seem to understand why I'm reacting this strongly by the mere appellation of one word as she stare blankly at me.

Instead and as expected from her, darkness face start to be tainted in red as she wear a idiotic smile.

''Ka-kazuma if you want to brutalize me, let's do somewhere else, people are watching.''

She avert her gaze embarrassed as I regain my normal state.

''What are you talking about.. Just answer my question..''

''I don't know what gotten into you but it's aqua that described you with that word earlier.''

That worthless deity couldn't have shut her mouth about that little incident, it would have been to much asking..

''Huh.. okay.. did you see Megumin by the way ?''

''You just missed her''

I let out a sigh as I stand up from the chair and while I was ordering something to eat to the counter Darkness picked my attention again.

''Are you serious about her ?''

She look deeply at me, piercing my soul with her relentless inquisitive stare while I come back.

There is no point in asking, I don't even know what would be my answer to her question anyway.

What I mean is let's try to dodge that carefully..

'' I need to give her the reward for the quest we accomplished yesteday, do you know where she went ?''

Darkness didn't answer, instead she look back at me again, stubborn about wanting a response.

She won't give up huh ?

''I don't know what are you talking about''

I play dumb, looking away from her, feeling guilty to lie like that.

There people chattering in the distance in this lively place but no sound or word seem to come out of Darkness mouth.

''Megumin told us everything.''

''Ev-everything?!''

What did she mean by ''everything'' ?! Megumin didn't reveal all I've done to her right? Right?!

Eventually I hear darkness sigh like she would prepare herself to say something not intended, of course I brace preparing for the upcoming quotation of Megumin's complains like ''Kazuma abused me when I was unable to move due to the dullahan curse!'' or '' Kazuma nearly conjoined our body when I was isolated with him in my bedroom!'' That the kind of things she would say right?

''You know..''

My face surely pale from fear only by imagining those outcomes I turn back to darkness who finally started to spit it out.

''This girl is in love with you so...''

''...take responsability''

''…''

Megumin let me do all that because she was interested in this kind of things right ? Even if she is a explosion maniac she is still a girl.

I'm certainly one of the only boy acquaintances she has up her sleeve so that must because of that reason.

Or maybe I'm a charming person who can catch any girl heart when those said girl start to better know him !

And said that I had that unnoticed talent buried somewhere in my personality, what a shame !

''…''

Darkness must get bored to look at my speechless face and so she stand up as her armor did a metal noise in the process.

''If you look for Megumin, she is with aqua in her house''

That added she leave the table and goes to the quest board, taking a look to the numerous quest offers plastered here.

Wait ! I hope she'll not gonna accept a mission to hard and bring us with her to complete it!

I'm not like her, I don't like physical pain or the simple idea of it !

But I guess there other priority right now, and so I pick up the reward awarded by the golem's quest completion at the guild girl and get myself in front of Megumin shack once again.

I hesitate a little as give a succession of three knock at the door.

''…''

No responding.. and after closer inspection it seem that there is no one inside..

Did darkness lied ? Megumin didn't was supposed to be with aqua here ?

Where did she go ?

''Chrrshcrac!''

A giant explosion cloud in the distance appeared out of nowhere elevating itself in the sky as numerous birds who were resting in the nearby tree fled, scared.

I guess I know where she is now thanks to that explosion !

The big explosive cloud seem to lead at the place she was praticing, before the dullalan came to Axel.

''Sigh...''

Are she gonna make me walk to the castle again?

''..''

I can't be helped I suppose..
