First thing I would like to say.. Sorry about that much delay, I am actually volunteering in japan for three month so I didn't had the opportunity to write that much those past day :/

I hope you'll like this chapter and will continue following me for the next one.

Eventually I will try to write faster for upcoming chapter so stay hooked ;)

Chapter 13 : A new beginning

Everything seem unreal, everything I've gone through I mean.

I could be convinced that It happened for real, that my trip to the other world was just a hallucination if there weren't those clothes acting like a reminder of my past presence in Axel.

I appeared on a roof, hopefully there was not a soul to see me spawing from nowhere and as I find it ironic to be lucky in that kind of situation.

Instinctively I locate the staircase and quickly climb down to the first floor.

My first thought while reaching the large street filled with people was ''Even with that outfit I wear no one paid attention to me'' or even '' I guess my social life is that mediocre that I became like a decor piece'' Nonetheless as I saw the large crowd surrounding a girl I quickly understood that people's attention is actually focused somewhere else.

A young lady that I know well is in the center of the crowd, looking somewhat desperate about what's going on as some of the watchers come closer to her.

They must have taken her attire for a cosplay and since it totally pair perfectly with her juvenile appearance that must explain all of this enthusiasm.

Of course Megumin don't know how to handle that, after all she just arrived into a totally different world so that has to be expected.

Nonetheless this is not what I'm worrying about right now..The crowd seemingly entranced by Megumin's natural beauty seem to desire to approach her even more closer.

''Ka-Kazuma !''

I thought I needed to intervene but as the hopeless witch recognized me as I was watching from afar, she pierce trought the packed people with all her strength hugging me once at arm's reach.

''Are you okay ?''

Fearing to make Megumin panicking even more I try to remain calm and composed as I accept her embrace.

''These people..''

Still in my arm Megumin grab my shirt with her small hands.

''They're surely possessed, we should get rid of them before it's too late..''

I can't blame her to not be rational. I'll probably explain all the details to her later but for now we need to get out of here. I can feel some glacial stares coming from the people Megumin left out behind and it surely mean no good.

''Let's go somewhere else''

I grab the lost brown haired girl by the hand and led her to my nearby closest known location, ignoring all the inquisitive stares laying on us as we start fast walking

Megumin stay silent, looking around her, facinated by this whole new decor surrounding her as we finally reach my house, the only place that came to mind when one think of a temporary shelter.

I nearly only know this place in the whole city since I'm not used to get out of my bedroom .. Sadly the other places that I would potentially recall is the videogame shop more to the north or my highshool more to the south .

What day it is anyway ? The sun lay high in the sky proof that it's maybe past noon but it's not enough imformations. If today is a saturday or a sunday my parents could be home and that is no good.

I take a peek at Megumin while being in front of my front door, thinking how much trouble I would got if my mom or my dad would see their shut in neet of a child bringing back home a younger girl dressed in a cosplay.

''Where we going ?''

Megumin probably seeing me stopping in my track in front of that house ask me while I notice that we still holding hand since our first reunion.

''It's my house''

She look at me slighlty surprised by my answer then she examine the whole building.

''Is that your world?''

I nod, letting go of her hand to reach a stone, revaling the key to the entreance door as I lift it.

It's true that I weren't aware of holding her hand but as now we are disconnected I feel kinda lonely even if we remain physicaly close to each other.

I still can't believe that I'm dating a girl that cute..

Anyway..

The door is finally unlocked, I initiate myself slowly in, operating like a bulglar.

''I'm home...''

No sounds or any sign of activity, apparently no one is here right now. I hope so at least.

I make sign to Megumin to enter inside, following me to my artificial shelter, more commonly call my bedroom as in the process I immediatly regret to bring her here.

And why could you ask ?

The place is emanating a strong smell as I was used to keep the widows closed all the time. Everything is in complete disorder too, some video game are scattered all around. I can even see some questionnable books on my bed.

''Megumin can you wait outside a bi-''

''What is this ?''

No ! The worst thing she could have done she did it ! the brown haired girl is already inside and on top of that she is holding one of my numerous pervy books !

''Don't mind this, it's nothing !''

As I dont let her any time to think about it, I instinctively grab all my stuffs including that one book in her hands and toss it randomly under my bed. After that I sit to the bed while Megumin is sitting on my desk's chair as I finally decide to reveal what I know about what happened to us.

''What I know'' is a bit of an overstatement, I don't really understand how we ended up in my world just by crossing that portal..

''What is this sorcery ? Black magic ?!''

As I finished explaining Megumin examine the place, seeming to have found something worth paying attention to.

''No ! It's not ! Stop touching everything !''

Why this girl need to be that childish in that kind of critical situation ?! She nearly make my computer fall down just because she lighted the screen by hitting one key on the keyboard..

Megumin should be afraid.. I mean she just left everything she knew, this world must be really frightening with all those foreign sounds, cars, buildings and people surrounding you all the time.

I just don't understand why she is carelessy behaving right now

''Kazuma ! If we are here yunyun and aqua must be somewhere too !''

''You need to find them before they get killed !''

With an astonishing speed Megumin stand up ordering me like if I were one of her minions.

''There no way I let you alone in my bedroom, you're coming with me !''

''You seem to not understand Kazuma.. if I meet the demon's minions of this world again... this time I wont spare them..''

She is just afraid of being surrounded again isn't she ?

''They're not evil idiot.. they came closer because you were cute..''

Megumin complaining routine suddenly come to a halt as she stare absenminly at the floor looking somewhat surprised by my bold statement.

Meanwhile as blaming myself internaly to have done such a comment I hastely take some random clothes that were pressed against the bottom of my shelf.

''You cannot go outside in that outfit, take those''

''It was mine when I was younger so it should be enough until we find something else.''

This is just a jogging plus a t-shirt that I used to wear some year ago when I was still growing.

Of course it wouldn't fit for me anymore, but, for Megumin it seem to be the perfect size.

Howewer she did took some time before accepting it and even when she finally grabed it the only thing she do is to stare back at me .

''..''

''Are you planning to watch me change Kazuma ?''

oh.. yeah that make sense.. I know that Megumin's question is retorical but if I were to answer that honestly, I would just blatantly say ''yes'' like a idiot.

''Okay okay just dont take to much time''

Even if the memory of megumin's nude body is like burned in my mind forever, It don't stop me to wonder what going on inside my bedroom while I'm waiting outside, way to overconscious of what's happening inside.

I look at the clock hanging in the hallway to occupy my mind, watching the second passing for a moment. It feel like a eternity but after ten minutes the door finally open itself slowly.

''Can I least take my wand with me ? ''

''…''

''Oi kazumaaa !''

It's true that I already saw Megumin with something else than her usual outfit but.. I don't know... witnessing her fully dressed with some of my older clothes make the scene more erotic than it should normally be.

There is something else though.. We are litteraly supposed to be going out and adding to that we are actually together, alone, in front of my bedroom.

Now..

How can I be not overconscious about it ?!

''Ka-zu-ma !''

Megumin probably tired of seing me spacing out grabed me by the shoulder and shaked me intensively.

''Ye-yes ! Sorry ! I was thinking about something..''

''Is there something wrong with me ?You kept looking at me all this time..''

She noticed..

I guess there no way she wouldn't see me staring since I was literally in front of her ..

In this situation maybe I should act as a man and admit straight that seeing her in my clothes made me remember of the time we almost made love.

''I just thought you were attrative in those casual clothes...''

Nevermind... It seem that I cannot openly say such a bold sentence.

''….''

Silence..

Just raw silence.

She is still direcly having her hand on my shoulder, literally being less than a meter away.

That lack of distance between us make everrything even more awkward and actually for a good reason, I could just reach for her if I ever wanted and no one would stop me.

''Kazuma...'''

That facial expression she is making right now.. I don't even know how to describe it.. it's just mesmerizing..

''Mnnh...''

I stole one kiss quickly follow by a myriad of similar one as Megumin did let go of my shoulders for crossing her arms behind my neck. The scene quickly become more intense as I push her against one of my hallway wall.

The young girl let herself go along my caress and squirm after each kiss softly placed along her neckline.

That make me embarrassingly aroused.. It's like she will she accept everything from me and gasp from pleasure each time I would lay my hand on her.

By the time slowly passing by, my hand get bored to explore her back and so influenced by that will to try something else I crawl under her clothes and reach for the defenseless girl's chest.

At least I tried.

''We-we should search for the other, in this dangerous world they may die at any moment''

''..''

It's like a gift was take away from me just when I started open it.. How frustrating...

But knowing Aqua, Megumin is right.. I don't know that yunyun well enough to say, but if I were to judge, that girl look like the airheaded type more than anything else.

I wanted to go further... God damnit..

Ignoring my urges, we finally exit the house, looking for any girls dressed in a cosplay that would look like the two hopeless specimen we lost in tokyo.
