Chapter 16: Last Wish

Wish...A word that resembles a lesser form of the term "dream". Wishes can be granted immediately or in most cases, in very long periods of time.

They can only be granted if; A person has expressed his/her utmost effort to acquire their own wish. If a person is luckily rich and can buy their way to their dream, making it miniscule. And...if a certain perverted brute "accidentally" equipped a forced wish granting weight-loss accessory. But, as such, perverted wishes could only last a few days or so... Maybe because scums will eventually die if they're out of lust.

Especially... if you can't even wish to the one you fell for.

The air on the steam covered bathing room had a sense of dread engulfing and flowing through the air. And specifically, the cursed weight-loss accessory wearing commander, tyrant, unfair, and perverted Kazuma Satou was actually the one releasing this dreaded air... And "it" not wearing any kind of clothing except a barely covering nether region cloth did not make the room any less creepy as it is.

To be exact, creepy was an understatement.

It was terrifying.

Such is the word best in describing the 5 little lambs, facing off the biggest baddest, perverted wolf they've ever seen... No, HAD ever seen for the rest of their life.

To be specific, a lamb with social anxiety, an overly explosion crazy lamb, a masochistic wanting to be ravaged lamb, an undead..."healthy" lamb and lastly, one especially self proclaiming truly goddess lamb.

Seeing the barely covered, panty lover creep sitting at the center of the bathing room, made the courageous five shake in fear. Well, one was already shaking for an entirely different reason though.

'Don't turn around... Don't turn around... DO NOT TURN AROUND.' Kazuma steeled himself as his chest made beats like doing a drum solo. He was nervous to command Aqua to come with the other girls in a bath towel too. 'I don't want my efforts to be in vain, just because of that single command!' He slightly cringed his teeth.

Kazuma desperately tries to brace himself for what is to come. 'CRAP! I don't think I can hold back anymore! If I see that useless goddess in just a bath towel, who knows what I'll command out of the blue!' He desperately tries to remove the useless goddess in his mind, again and again and again.

But to no avail, the color of water always waved in his thoughts.

'That useless goddess's form... Her long untied aqua blue hair... Her blue eyes...' Kazuma shook his head to spill out every thought about that goddess yet again. Only having barely enough time (8 hours) with Aqua's raiment made his self control weaker, and his desire for her stronger. Because of a certain arch wizard he didn't get to caress...with love Aqua's raiment in his room throughout last night.

He felt the choker in neck tighten, even stronger from yesterday. 'I need to remove this...now.' He grimaced as he put his head down from the aching pain of the choker. A dark aura circulated around him, his determination to control his desire, to think of happy thoughts throughout today.

That's how he sees it... But to others... The dark aura surrounding him, made them think otherwise.

"I can't tell who's the Demon Lord anymore..." Megumin spoke, her head down in despair.

"I-I-I can't do this anymore!" Yunyun already showing enough skin for a honeymoon, decided to turn tail and run to the exit of this steamy hell. Her open mouthed smile was so wide when she saw the wooden exit, that it was almost pitiful to watch. But... mysteriously an unknown dark force made the doors quickly slam shut. "Impossib-*oomph!*" Yunyun collided face first the second the doors made contact. Kneeling down because of the shock, her eyes slowly widened with fear and disbelief as she looked up the shut tight door. "No...No...NO!" She screamed in despair as she slowly stood up from her spot, shaking her head as she did so. "Hiyaaah~! Dasukete! Dasukete kudasai!" She banged the door as she screamed for help, her nose started to bleed from the *oomph* earlier.

Darkness... probably the worst of the bunch. Started to have the biggest fantasy she ever had playout through her head. Looking at the cheating, unfair, tyrant brute sitting on a bathing chair at the middle of the room in only an "hankerchief" sized towel covering the...important parts, made her do so. Her breathing already being disarray worse and worse by each second. Her hot breathe being sucked up in the steam of the room. Huge amounts of sweat started to form in her body like she just finished a marathon of some sorts.

But what probably stood out the most, was how the crusader's legs shook tremendously like a blender in full throttle. Like she's trying to hide something...exciting beneath her legs because of the way it shook. She also started drooling, and that didn't make the situation more creepy as it is. "Ohh~!...Ohh~!" She almost said in a moan as her voice clearly displayed her shaking.

Everyone ignored her.

"Yunyun-san!? A-Are you okay!?" Wiz ran...bouncily because of certain parts, towards the rampaging Yunyun. Aqua and Megumin had blank look on their faces as they watched the huge competition in front of them... (Especially Megumin).. To no avail her towel cannot contain her body's prowess anymore, it said its farewell to being a miniscule towel and slipped itself out of Wiz's rack... Wiz didn't notice this however and continued to bounce towards Yunyun. "Yunyun-san! Calm down!" She spoke as she grabs Yunyun's shoulder from behind. Another blank look escaped the two watchers as they saw Wiz juggling her body mass from the force of Yunyun's squirming.

"Let go of me~!..*boing!*" How they would bounce from the pressure from Yunyun's squirming. "I need to get out of this scary place!~... *boing!*" How they would bump with one another consistently from Yunyun's elbow. "T-This is sexual harassment~!... *boing!*" And how the 2 most healthiest go chest in chest, made the two least healthiest in the steamed room stare in awe. "C-Calm down, Y-Yunyun-san!" Wiz now stuttering, began to notice how "direct" her feeling of touch in Yunyun's form. Assuming the reason made her face as red as a One Shot Bear's bloodlust eyes. Slowly... She looked down, to see what was causing this more direct sense of touch. "M-M-M-M-M-My..." She stuttered as fast as a shooting star as fear started filling her voice. The fear of seeing her dressed like a newborn, by a sexual harassing Trash-zuma. Yunyun, after calming down finally, processed the situation happening at hand. Her face slightly turned red as she immediately looked towards the zone where the brute was sitting.

"Are you guys done? I can't help but feel like you're all thinking something rude about me." Kazuma, of all the times to speak up, decided to finally talk when someone "conveniently" dropped their towel and being "conveniently" covered by the steam... Especially covering the certain parts quite nicely actually.

Wiz gasped red headed, as she instinctively used Yunyun as a meat shield. But to no avail,... Wiz was just too healthy (in some parts) to be completely covered by Yunyun. Everyone expected that Kazuma would turn around to see a sight for his lucky eyes but fortunately he never even thought about turning around. No curiosity whatsoever.

"N-N-Nothing to see here!"...Until Aqua stutteringly spoke up, obviously implying that something happened at the back. Everyone gasped in shock as they looked at Aqua, quickly turning their looks to Kazuma.

'Everyday of my life, watching anime every day and night, I've always known the true meaning of those clichéd words. I always knew that the useless-goddess loves clichés.' Kazuma thought out quickly. ' "Nothing to see here." The true meaning of those words probably meant that something did happen, knowing that this is a bathing room its probably a wardrobe (towel) disfunction.' He continued his line of thought quicker.

'*sigh~* I so so so hate clichés like this.'

...'So I'll turn around and look.'

... Kazuma's head slowly turned around to the side.

Everybody's expression was a mix of fear, disgust and despair as they saw the sexual harassing pervert turned around. Megumin's expression looked scared and was running towards Wiz's miniscule towel, determined to stop the pervert from being a pervert yet again.

... Kazuma's head was still slowly turning around dramatically.

Yunyun flails her arms to try and cover and support Wiz form, but to Wiz's dismay she was just too much healthy to be covered, even with a body like Yunyun's... Yunyun's expression took a pitiful turn, as she felt her towel loosen. "W-W-W-Wiz!" She called out desperately to Wiz who had her eyes closed from the fear of being scene and holding YunYun for dear life. Due to that death lock, YunYun couldn't use her arms to fix the almost removed towel. "NOOOOO~ Mommy~!" Yunyun screamed throughout the world for her mother who mildly sensed it from her location.

Slowly... Kazuma's head turned around...really slowly.

"*shake~!* *shake~!* OHHHH~! OHHHH~!" And Darkness...(18+)

*SLAP!*

The sound echoed throughout the entire room. Everyone in the steam filled sauna like space all came to a halt... Even Darkness's legs stopped buckling, and that's already a feat on its own.

Kazuma felt a slight sting emitting from both sides of his cheeks, his lips also puckered out due to the pressure of the force... Aqua had slapped him.

Well, not technically a slap, but a hold of some sorts. Aqua held his head by the cheeks, making sure the Hiki-NEET's head would stay in place.

"I told you that there was nothing to see there, Hiki-NEET!" After 2 days of not having a serious conversation (shouts), Aqua screamed looking down at the Hiki-NEET, holding his head just in the place of her stomach.

Kazuma after some thought immediately processed what happened, quickly forgetting the thoughts he had earlier.

"That hurt, you useless-goddess!" Kazuma shouted back, not even trying to remove his head from the goddess's clutches. The reason would probably because he was scared of the death lock Aqua had on his head...or probably because he didn't want to remove his head from the goddess's soft hands.

Realizing that, made him slightly avert his eyes, earning the usual trademark red in his face.

"HUH?! Stop being a baby and take it like the cheating, unfair, pedophile, mean, pervert you are!" Screaming this, Aqua repeated the slap hold she had on the Hiki-NEET's head.

"OUCHH! If that's going to leave a mark, you're dead!" Kazuma yelled in pain, already feeling the red handed marks appearing from his cheeks.

'This is for the time you made me think that you're going to command me!' The useless-goddess thought out with a pout, barely able to control herself in saying it out loud.

'Wait... He's going to command me, if there's a mark?' Having a somewhat great(?) realization, made her blush slightly.

"*slaaaap!*"...And again, she slapped the Hiki-NEET by the cheeks. Making the others cringe in pain.

"I..TAIIIIII!~~~" Kazuma screamed in agony, writhing in pain from the useless-goddess's touch. "What is wrong with you!?" The pained Kazuma, not noticing that he was now leaning his head on Aqua's stomach, looked up to her face with a glare, clenching his teeth.

"*hmph!* What are you going to do about it, Hiki-NEET!" Like a declaration of war of some sorts, the useless goddess's glare met the Hiki-NEET's.

The two glared into each other's eyes, not even noticing the blank looks from everyone else in the steamy bathing room.

Kazuma looking up... was reminded of how he always gazed on the useless goddess's eyes after he was resurrected from the Winter Shogun, and One shot Bear incident.

And Aqua looking down...was reminded of how the Hiki-NEET's reassuring gaze he gave after being resurrected, his gaze showing that he was really alive again.

Now being embarrassed on their actions, the two blushed slightly at the same time. But both of them did not even bother looking away, maybe because the one who averts their gaze would be the one who loses. Or,...they missed their everyday life with the other by their side.

And...Kazuma suddenly placed his hands on Aqua's, unconsciously.

"Goddammit... I'm going to cry, because of your war horse strength, useless goddess." Kazuma, his hands now on top of the terrifyingly red marked places on his cheeks that is currently being occupied by Aqua, he made a sarcastic sniff like he was crying. He stared at the glaring blue eyes of the other, and Kazuma's glare turned into a serious gaze for just a brief moment. 'I...missed you dammit.' The true meaning of those words was thought affectionately, his blushing glare growing and... his grip on her hands tightened ever so slightly.

Aqua slightly gasped from Kazuma's sudden change of action. "W-What are you, a NEET baby?" She replied stuttering...But, she immediately adapted with it. 'It's only been 3 days since we held hands... Why does it feel like a long time ago?...' Realizing that her thoughts were now taking on a weird turn, she shook her head tremendously. 'I-I didn't miss this! Not even a tiny bit!' She tried gripping back the hands that were sexually harassing hers', with a worsening glare blush like the NEET.

"Wah~. Wah~. I'm a NEET baby." Kazuma spoke, not even bothering to act like an infant and his blushing glare turned into a blushing blank look.

The moment he said that line, he smoothly brought the hands he was holding, closer to his cheeks and not a hint of embarrassment or shame in his actions... He's self control was barely working now, because of holding back for too long.

Well some people meant the word long as reaching up to 2 days and such.

" Uhhhhh~~!" Aqua only gushed out in embarrassedly and angrily, her lips turning into a mix of frustration and rage, but not once did her glare falter and... not once did her blush became weaker.

Again, the two goldfish owners forgot the sensation of being watched blankly by their other peers. Each with their own blank looks of narrowed eyes and straight lips.

'We were sexually harassed all day and night.' The 4 thought out right in the exact same time.

'I was mentally abused by being used to dress up into the tastes of that...of that pervert, and my clothes was taken off right outside in broad daylight.' Megumin was trembling inside... 'And all it took for him to blush is a double slap from Aqua!?'

Trembling in rage.

'I was used...' Yunyun thought out like she's going to cry. 'I was used up like a tool playing dress up and bared already enough skin for my future fiance... And all that made him contented was a painful deadlock from Aqua-san?... The world is...scary... The world is so scary.' Yunyun trembled holding her head. 'I'd rather relive my lonely childhood years instead of this terrifying days.'

Trembled in fear.

'Kazuma-san treated me like a body pillow for 2 straight days.' Wiz thought out, now with two towels tightly tied out on her, with very slight anger lubricating from it. 'It wasn't as troublesome as the others, so I'm not going to complain that much. But, my whole body was sore because of having to stay in one pose for hours.' She continued to "slightly" complain as she rubbed the sore parts of her healthy healthy body. Her eyes then went to the two. 'But...'Her slightly grumpy expression turned into a small smile. 'Kazuma-san and Aqua-sama finally look happy after the last couple of days.' Wiz slightly blushed.

Blushed in happiness for the 2 with a hint of embarrassment mixed in.

But unfortunately...Wiz had the most positive outlook on the situation... Actually, she was the ONLY ONE who had happiness for what was happening, like her soul did not even have a tinge of undead in it.

'I...' Darkness even can't process her thought, as she was feeling too much emotion. 'I trained and I trained and I trained and I trained.' She thought on and on. 'I made sure I followed every command voiced by Kazuma, I... wanted to do my best to try and help him, to save him from the hold of that very feminine choker that really doesn't suit him. And yet, he was shook easily by that little touch of skin from Aqua.' The emotion she held in all this time, started to leak out. 'All my muscles ached, my body too tired to move properly, and pain would strike my body in every sense of touch it receives.' She let it all out, everything she felt at this moment...

'Her breathing got unbelievably rugged, her legs now shook tremendously that it's releasing loud sounds of wet flesh smashing each other, her drool almost reached her chin dripping to the floor, and... Her eyes were... scary,scary,scary,scary,scary,.

Hearing someone (they knew who) fainting at the floor made the 2 center of attention exchanged blank looks with each, their blush was still not going inside their faces. Their hands still gripping on each others fingers, quickly forgetting their other peers they both just continued to gaze at each other.

Accidentally Aqua unconsciously moved her hands slightly on Kazuma's cheeks.

"Tch!..." Kazuma slightly cringed and lowly clicked his tongue. Feeling slightly sore from the dark shade of RED Aqua was placing on. 'What is up with your hands, you useless-goddess!' he thought out instead of speaking, as to not try

Aqua noticing the change that happened on his face. 'Are you making me feel guilty, Hiki-Neet!' Her thoughts said otherwise, but she still felt guilty seeing his pained expression. And she still kept her thoughts to her self, as she also didn't want to ruin the moment.

Suddenly Kazuma felt a soothing light circling throughout his face. Kazuma averted his eyes to the hands he was holding, seeing that they were glowing in green, and also seeing the focused expression made by the useless goddess let him knew...

"...Sorry." Aqua apologized genuinely averting her eyes to not look at the Hiki-NEET's surprised expression.

Aqua...was healing him from a very miniscule injury. The useless-goddess that doesn't cast Heal for the most light injuries, was now healing Kazuma's sore cheeks.

Kazuma, now staring to this bizarre sight, made his heart doki doki, and...

"I thought that if you use your magic to heal a light injury, the name of the beautiful and stunning Aqua sama will fall by the wayside?" Kazuma said jokingly...to cover up the bursting of his feelings.

And...made his love for her stronger.

"Huh? Be grateful I healed you, you were crying like a baby earlier, s-so I just didn't want to hear you complaining later!" Aqua replied with a snark, not sending the hidden gratitude in Kazuma's comment. 'I regret healing you now, you ungratef-'

"...Thanks." Kazuma finished first, again smoothly gripped Aqua's hands tighter and leaned her soothing hands closer to his cheeks.

"Uhhhhhhh~~~!" Aqua gushed out, stronger than before. "Y-You better thank me! As a matter of fact praise me more, for healing your injury from your low defense stats!" Aqua said embarrassingly, not thinking of what she's saying because of the fact... that she's happy.

"Yey~. Praise Aqua sama's only working spell, and the only thing going for her in this party." Kazuma replied blankly, also unconsciously running his mouth because of his happiness to this situation.

Realizing that the two were returning to their everyday interactions made them grin at each other in anger. Their eyebrows twitching in irritation and thinking of words to make fun on each other.

"Ehhh~? I'm sorry for not always healing your little booboos everyday." Aqua went first, making Kazuma slightly twitch in the process.

"Ohhh~? Apology accepted to the only one of the party, that always have debts that I always have to pay in return to her only working spells used on me." Kazuma replied savagely, making Aqua's lips slightly quiver, to the blow it made.

'I think I was too harsh.' Kazuma slightly regretted inside.

"That was too much, Hiki-NEET!" Aqua shouted agreeing so, excreting pressure in her palms to squish the head of the already puckered out lips of the savage.

"Uyyy! It's uur faolt! Yur da wun ho entt first! (Heyyy! It's your fault! You're the one who went first!)" Kazuma tried to reply in his puckered lips.

Their argument continued, glaring at each other, wracking out nasty comments they always do in a daily basis, the usual hurt expression on Aqua, and the irritated expression on Kazuma. And throughout their usual argument...their hands never separated with one another, as a matter of fact they became tighter in each's hold.

And always after each argument...

"How can you say that to the one you lo-" Aqua suddenly paused, not finishing the usual sentence. '

Always at the end, Aqua would always shout that question to Kazuma...

Kazuma didn't notice Aqua's pause, but nonetheless continued."I'm doing it because I lo-" But suddenly, he also stopped right at the last 3 most important words. He breathed deeply, composing himself. 'Don't flare up, don't flare up, don't flare up...' He thought trying to hold his urge to command the useless goddess. 'What the hell is wrong with me? When I say those words, my urge to just stand right up and kiss her intensifies!' Now getting the thought of kiss the useless goddess should have made him barf, but instead... 'Don't imagine it! Don't imagine it!' But suddenly, Kazuma's choker again tightened, almost to the point where he had some trouble breathing. '...I really need to remove this today.' He grimaced. 'I really want to confess to her now...But, I need to remove this first.' Thinking that, he looked at the useless-goddess again. He tightened his grip.

...Only to notice that he was the only one gripping back. His eyes widened and his blush slowly removed itself from his face, when he saw Aqua's sad expression on her face.

"You...okay?" Kazuma voiced with concern.

'Why...are you making that face?' Kazuma thought out mildly sad. '...Is it because of what I'm doing now...?' His eyes widened slowly, thinking it was true.

His sudden urge to command the useless goddess hugely lessened due to her expression. The thought made him grit his teeth, as he realized he'd decreased the chances of Aqua's confession to him. 'Dammit...Dammit...Dammit!' He's eyes narrowed again, his irritation became stronger due to the fact that the choker in his neck tightened again.

'...He didn't say it.' Aqua thought out shocked... '...He didn't finish saying it.' Her shock slowly became enveloped with sadness. '...Kazuma always says that to me.' Aqua continued, counting the countless times the Hiki-NEET had said that. 'He... doesn't love me anymore.' Aqua slowly thought out, her lips now started quivering and her body started shaking.

She knew it was true, Kazuma's action made her think so. He released his grip on Aqua hands, making her hands slowly fall back to her sides. Kazuma also slowly removed his head that was leaning on Aqua's stomach. '... Hiki-NEET.' She thought out almost like a wish, regaining her sense of touch in her hands, the hands that were squeezed so much earlier,...and the hands that wanted to squeeze the other big hand.

"Aqua go to that corner over there." Kazuma said, not bothering to look at her reactions. 'Come on~! Think of a reasonable command that is easy to do!' he thought irritated.

Aqua only stared down to the Hiki-NEET's back. '...He finally gave up on me.' She continued her thoughts of realization. Her eyes now started to form tears. 'You...weakling.' she tried to scream, but didn't have the strength to do so. "...*hic!* Hiki-NEET, you weakling!' She only managed to shout on her thoughts as her tears started to flow down. No matter how much she cried for the last 2 days, her tears never became smaller. 'Oh *hic!* no!' Realizing that the others were right there behind her, and especially the Hiki-NEET in front. She immediately tried to wipe away her tears. '...Stop *sniff~!* crying already!' She willed herself to stop, wiping off her unstopping flow of tears. 'Stop...*hic!*.. it! He.. doesn't love you anymore!' The last part made her eyes tense much more. '...*hic!*. Stop it! Hiki-NEET!' She could only cover her eyes with her palms, begging for it to stop.

'Hmm?' Kazuma raised a brow. 'Something wet is dripping in my back.' He thought moving his body to make sure. 'Wonder what's up behind me.' He thought as he turned around. Aqua still hiding her eyes with her palms, never noticed Kazuma's head slowly turning.

"That's unfair, Kazuma!"

Fortunately, Megumin had interrupted Kazuma's course of action, not noticing the heavy drama happening.

"You always give Aqua the most easiest commands, or even sometimes no commands at all!" Megumin continued, Yunyun nodded her head, totally agreeing to what her rival said.

Darkness slowly stood up from the floor. "Ghh... My head hurts." She grunted, holding her temple. The towel miraculously stayed in its place.

"A-Are you okay, Darkness-san?" Wiz voiced out in concern, helping the crusader to her feet. She eyed Aqua worriedly just behind Kazuma, she was the only one who knew what was happening.

"O-Oyy! I command this useless-goddess once in a while you know!" Kazuma defended, looking at the wizard, barely missing Aqua's form just behind him. Slightly blushing at the arch wizard's sudden comment.

"Prove it!" The crimson demon replied, not believing what Kazuma said. Yunyun nodded in agreement behind her other bloodline.

'Tch, now I have no choice but to command her. Thanks a lot, you loli!' he thought cringing his teeth. "Like hell I won't!" Kazuma snarled. Making Aqua remove her hands covering her eyes.

"Go into that corner there, useless-goddess. Wait for my command." Kazuma commanded, pointing at the location. 'Don't look... Don't look... Never!'

Aqua looked with widened eyes. Tears still flowed down her face, when she looked at the location the Hiki-NEET pointed. "H-H-Hai, sir! *hic!*" she tried to reply properly, but couldn't help adding a hic. Aqua quickly ran to the corner, wiping the remaining tears left on her eyes. '...He still has commands for me?...' Aqua thought out, slightly sniffing. Looking at Megumin and the others, made Aqua think back what they said earlier.

'...He still has commands for me?...' Aqua thought out, slightly sniffing. Looking at Megumin and the others, made Aqua think back what they said earlier.

She placed her hand on her chest, as she remembered. Having a somewhat miniscule hope at those sayings. 'This... will be the last time that I'll expect something from him.' Her eyes gazed at the thinking Kazuma.

'If that Hiki-NEET doesn't command me today...' Her last hopes was now made. 'Then...he really doesn't love me anymore.'

"Now then." Kazuma spoke, out of his thinking mode.

Everyone in the room gasped, except the water goddess at the corner.

"I slightly regret interrupting them now." Megumin said regrettably.

"T-This is your fault, Megumin!" Yunyun realized, shaking her arch rival with an angry tone.

"Etoo, please be gentle with us." Wiz pleaded, checking the double tied towels on her form, making sure they were tied tightly and properly.

"P-P-Please be g-g-gentle with us!" Darkness yet again.

'Tch, I can't come up something for Aqua.' Kazuma bit his lip irritatingly, ignoring the others reactions.

"Darkness go wash yourself into the tub. Wiz,Megumin, and Yunyun soap my body up." The tyrant pervert unfair commander returned, commanding those tasks like it was second nature to him.

Aqua POV

Revealing the commandments Kazuma had foretold, the others tool a while to let the information sink in.

Darkness gulped...in an uncomfortable way, as the first one to move, she briskly walked to the hot water. Slowly putting her legs one by one into the spring, she carefully sat in place. Her back turned towards us.

Kazuma raised a brow at this. "Why are you facing away? Face here." He commanded with his blank tone. Making Darkness shiveringly (despite already in a hot spring) sat sideways to follow his command half heartedly.

'Why isn't he like that to me?' The thought went to my mind like a brick. 'Is it because he doesn't like my body?' Unable to control my thoughts, my heart sank deeper and deeper.

Kazuma slightly grunted. "What are you all waiting for, back there." The tone of his voice never changed, as he questioned Meg, Wiz, and Yun behind him.

"W-We don't know what to wipe you with the soap." Megumin excused, embarrassed at the whole situation just like her other 2 companions.

Kazuma quickly pointed at the flannels beside his seat. "Just use this." He said, implicating that he was already prepared for that excuse.

"Uhhhh~" The three ushed out with a blush, as they slowly walked towards Kazuma.

'He's always ready when it comes to doing perverted things to others...except me.' My thoughts kept going on and on every minute. 'Is it because he doesn't prefer my reactions at all?' My gaze turned towards the floor... 'I don't want to look at this anymore.' I realized that my right hand was giving off little embers that evaporated when it reached the floor.

Getting their own flannels, the 3 proceeded to mildly wet the scrubbing towels. Shortly after, the 3 were quite hesitant of where they will start scrubbing the blank faced failure of humanity.

"Get on with it." Kazuma pressed, raising his arms.

Megumin seeing her chance to get the most easiest spot to conquer, she quickly started scrubbing the left arm that Kazuma raised.

Yunyun, following behind her rival, targeted Kazuma's right, much to her dismay.

Wiz raised a brow questioningly... Until she realized far too late what the two was doing. Now left with Kazuma's back, she looked at it with a blush. And just decided to do it, slowly her towel touched Kazuma's back. Growing accustomed to it, Wiz brushed the flannel at his back.

"That... actually feels great." Kazuma slightly blushed to the sensation, his blank look turned into a surprised expression.

'Why?... Why are you making that face?' My hand that was shaking, fell limply towards my side, not releasing the small embers earlier. '... Is it because of everyone else?' I looked at the others... Darkness, who was just in the tub, trying to brush herself with a flannel... Megumin, Yunyun, and Wiz who were now scrubbing Kazuma seriously... And Kazuma... Who is enjoying everything. '...Are you happy without me there...? The one... you confessed your love to?' I gazed at him, unknown of the expression I was even giving. 'You said you love me right?... Everyday you would always say that to me with a blank tone.' I wanted him to return my gaze, but he was occupied by the others. '...Earlier, you didn't finish saying it to me... Nandeyo?' I... begged him to look at me. To try and deny everything I thought of... But he never did... Was it because of the steam? Because of the others? Or...

'Is it really because you don't love me anymore?' The only conclusion that makes sense to me, it replayed to my mind again and again and again. And with each replay, made the blow in my chest stronger and stronger. But... The incident earlier attacked my huge conclusion, like it was the most smallest hope to ever face harsh reality... 'I know you still love me, Hiki-NEET!' I took that hope in my arms, as I mentally screamed towards him. 'Holding my hand like it was an underwear, gripping it too much that it hurt, making it closer to your cheeks! Of course you love me! Hehe!' I now grinned to myself, completely opposite of what I was feeling earlier. 'I'll prove it! If I make you command me here and now, with your most embarrassing command, the worst of everyone elses!'

...I know I was only releasing the very last particles of my hope. I know that if this didn't work out I'm going to cry... But, I take the huge gamble. The biggest gamble I ever took in my life. The worst debt that would befall me if I failed. But, I know myself... I take a gamble if there's a prize worth being drunk for.

Now getting embarrassed like a normal girl, Darkness started to blush slightly to this uncomfortable change. "All I have to do is sit here, and wash myself?" Darkness asked, turning towards Kazuma.

'Phew, get ready Aqua!' I braced myself, thinking that something worse will be coming towards me.

"That's right. That is all. And I am sitting here watching." Kazuma stated blankly, staring at her.

'Uhhh~! Here goes!'

I cover my chest with my arms, feeling myself blushing at the act. "No doubt you are going to try and defile me, a goddess, today!" I felt my face flush more. "What are you going to make me do?"

'...This is it... The moment of truth.' Seeing his eyes slowly turning towards me...

"You can go and find me a natural hot spring. You can do it right?"

'...See?'

"Huh?... Why?" I said, almost muttering.

"Aren't you the goddess of water? Oh, my mistake. Was it the goddess of parties?" He teased...not even looking in my direction.

"*Mm!* Alright, I'll do it!" Forgetting for a moment the situation... I placed my hands on the floor. "I'll show you the true power of a goddess." Declaring that, I focused at the task at hand.

I...tried to...

I...really tried to focus at the command...

I...begged myself to...

Begged myself to just think about the command, forgetting everything else about me.

My hands that were tightly pressed at the floor... They were aching... I tried to grip the floor to relieve their pain... But the floor didn't grip back... It didn't grip tightly like what happened earlier.

'See?... I knew I would get commanded.' I looked at the hard cemented floor... 'I knew it's a command that's second to none...' I did not notice the state of my body, shaking as I pushed at the floor. '...I knew...' And my eyes were getting... irritated at the steam hitting it. 'He...still loves me...right?' It was only natural for me to cry because of the steam hitting my eyes...right?

My body losing all hope, I just let my feelings... I just continued crying, not bothering to try and hide it anymore.

Kazuma POV (A/N: Finally!)

What do tears leave behind?

A trail of salt water, for one. Salty sadness. But there's more.

There comes a point when tears dry; when try as you might, they just won't come anymore.

-Not from Sepia Tears but from Kazuma

Tears... I've never liked it... It always makes me sympathize, makes me kinder, makes me sad, and... it tastes salty.

But...it's not me tasting the salty tears today.

"D-Does it itch anywhere?" Wiz, after some time reluctantly scrubbing my back, asked in a meek tone.

"No itchy parts...I guess." I said, not bothering to say that a specific part was itchy... Very itchy.

'Why does it seem like deja vu if I did say that?' I slightly tilted my questioningly.

"I-Is that so? T-Then I'll continue then." Hearing her reply behind me, she continued scrubbing my back in a gentle manner.

'Ahhh~~ That feels great~' I tried to contain the expression happiness that I'm feeling but I knew I would unconsciously smile to the sensation once in a while.

Seeing the others gently scrubbing me and the crusader just scrubbing right in front of us, really did a number in me.

Their smooth petite fingers exerting the gentle caress brushing on my skin feels ecstatic. They were truly the feeling you'd expect from a girls' skin.

'...Unlike that useless goddess earlier.' I could only close my eyes in agreement, nodding at my thoughts. 'Those hands that could make a grown elephant shriek with that slap. Those arms that could probably make a charging bull stay in place. And those petite fingers...' I tried to grip the air. 'Those fingers that can withstand the most tightest grip I've ever released in my life.'

Shaking my head slightly, and already feeling hot from the steam, I removed the train of thoughts that was really getting out of hand.

'Gotta have it to me, I gave a really great commandment.' Giving myself a pat in the back, I try to avert my head. 'I wonder how she's doin-'

But...then again.

My eyes opened widened... Ignoring the steam that was already irritating my eyes... My brain tried to process what I was seeing right at this very moment... The very one thing I tried to avoid for 3 days... And mysteriously...the one thing I hate to see.

"*hic*... *sniff*... It's coming...*hic*" The useless goddess said, almost mutely. Her hands only pressed to the floor, her tears uncontrollably flowing down the rocky bedded floor below.

'...I did my best.' I stood up from my seat, the others looked at me questioningly. 'I...did my best you know.' I walked towards her. The others averted their attention to Aqua, only noticing what was happening now. '...I controlled myself for 3 days.' Despite the steam already hurting my eyes slightly, my gaze at her never ended. '...I controlled myself, just so you could rest easy and be happy.' My choker tightened yet again, but I ignored the pain. '...But this still happened!' I almost want to scream at her, but inevitably controlled it.

Kneeling right in front of her, I looked at her form for a while. 'Crap, don't run out of self control right after thinking all that crap!' I bit my lip to sustain it.

"It's...*hic!*... really.. *sniff!* coming! *Uhh~*" She continued, her tone being worse than earlier.

Really doing my best to not bonk her head at the spot. I grabbed her shoulders, and lifted her up from the floor...

"Why...the...heck...are...you...crying, useless goddess?" Already feeling a vein pop up, my eyes still averted from her as I brace myself to look at her.

"W-What..*hic!* are you doing, *sniff!* Hiki-NEET!" She tried to complain properly, but her tone still hadn't changed. Her hands now removed from the floor, she slowly tried to wipe away the ever flowing tears that was on her face. Unfortunately, it didn't stop no matter how many times she wiped them off.

Not containing it anymore I now turned my head in front. My heartbeat already escalated the moment as I did so. Seeing her also kneeling like me, her hair untied and the strands of hair flowed with just a little action, her blue eyes that were shining much more due to her crying as she tried to wipe the tears away again and again.

Instantly blushing at the sight, I wanted to quickly kiss her right in front me. But really, really, REALLY controlled myself not to do so. 'Don't you dare kiss her!'

"What the heck are you crying for, useless-goddess!" To make myself have restraint, I try talking to her the usual way. Not having any options, but to yell.

"...*sniff!* Because! *hic!*...*hic!*" She tried talking, but was stuttering every time she tried. "...*hic!* Your unfair! *sniff!*" The useless goddess screamed at my face.

"Huh?! Unfair?! What do you mean, unfair?!" I screamed back.

'How the heck can you call living a simpler life than the others, unfair?! It should be the other way around!'

"You can also command me for other things, Hiki-NEET!" Surprisingly she didn't stutter there.

"...H-H-H-Huh?" Now getting caught of guard, I backed away slightly to think what she had said.

'What the heck is happening?!' Not even processing what she had said, I removed my hands that were holding her shoulders, and held my head because of unbelief.

"I...*hic!* knew it... You just don't prefer me do you?" she muttered, like she had another realization thought of.

"...Eh?" I muttered out.

Suddenly, she quickly stood up from her place. Her tears flowing down hardly as she did. She turned around and slowly ran to the doors.

'Why is this happening?'

Well, the fact that this moment is moving in a slow motion cliche as f is one thing.

But, why are you like that Aqua? I did my best not to command you

... I tried my best to give you the easiest commands

... I did my best not to say those 3 words just for my self restraint.

.. And here you are again... Crying pitiably like a baby because of a reason I can't even think of...

What did I do wrong?...

What do I have to do to prevent this?...

What do you want?...

I gave my utmost effort to do what you want... And yet...

I quickly stood up from my spot in the most angered way possible. Giving off a glare that I felt would even scare me if I saw my reflection. "WHAT...IS...WRONG...WITH...YOU,...USELESS GODDEESS?!" Screaming that made the others gasp surprised.

'Then all of that self control bull crap was for nothing! I should have already defiled you the moment I had the opportunity!?' Both of my hands were doing the "creepy" movement, as I realized that thought. 'I should already cosplayed you, lay on your body parts, play strip rock paper scissors and scrub soap with your boobs on my back! (Forgetting about Darkness)'

"Come back here, you ungrateful usele-!" "Kyaah!"

...And

Why is this happening? How did I accidentally grabbed her wrists? How did we slowly slipped down towards the rocky bed floor? How did she manage to fall on her back?

*THUD!*

Oh yeah, how did I manage to pin down her wrists at the floor?

"I...*hic!* tai~~" Aqua grunted below me, with tears still on her eyes.

Not wasting a moment I pinned her wrists tightly on the floor. Not going to bother letting her escape.

I open my eyes to this overly too familiar voice...

It's actually horrifying that...this voice always clouds my mind with emotions. 'What is seriously wrong with your brain, Aqua!' I narrowed my eyes as I just stare at her form... slightly embarassed.

The form...that is currently laying on the ground, the form that is currently pinned by my arms, the form that has her aqua blue hair spread everywhere, the form that is currently crying her eyes out, and the form that destroys my beating chest. Her head was turned to the side, still trying to hide her crying face from me. But...what bothered me the most was that her towel was already untied... Like serving as her small blanket in a very hot night.

'OH NO! OH NO! OH NO' Medusa's eyes was right in front me, turning me (only a specific part) to stone.

Unconsciously, my creepy moving arm was already inches at the miniscule small blanket that was her towel.

"NO! Kazuma, don't get arrested!" Megumin shouted behind us.

"Run, Aqua-san! Be free!" Yunyun, also screamed her support.

"Bnrggg~!" Darkness shouts, her face under the water to contain her excitement...

'Yeah, I can't control this anymore! I don't care what happens anymore!' I grinned devilishly as my hand was slowly making towards its way to the piece of cloth. My choker seemed to tighten again, making me lose my reasoning even more.

'Almost...there.' Already lightly grabbing the small hem part of the towel... My rugged breathing, slowly escalated.

"Kazuma-san! Remember the reason!"

Until Wiz shouted, the moment I was going to remove the towel and throw it into the skies.

"GHAAAAAAAAHHHH!" I shouted maintaining control. Shooting my hand back. "STEAL! STEAL! STEAL!" I chanted my thief skill in 3 rapid successions.

Grabbing 3 towels at the same time.

"Eh...?" The 3 muttered in sync. Looking down their probably uncovered new born state. "Hyaaaaah!~" The 3 screamed, I heard them running, and also the loud splashing of water behind me.

"What is this sexual harassing pervert doing!?" The arch wizard shouted.

"It's unfair! Wiz still has her other towel with her!" Yunyun complained, grabbing the last towel that was protecting Wiz.

"Yunyun san! I don't want to show my body a second time!" Wiz screamed, another healthy session of juggling happening at her.

"Oyy! Why didn't you steal my towel, Kazuma?!"...Darkness complained(?) standing from her spot.

"Your towels wet! And it's probably not because of the water!" After having a moment to calm down. I placed the towels all around this useless-goddess (still crying) almost exposed body.

'... It's too early for me to get arrested anyway.' I averted my eyes, still mad at her. After placing them properly, I again looked at her form. Being on a combination of different colored towels covering her whole body, made me calm down properly.

"I knew it..." She continued still with tears in her eyes. "You don't like my body like the others do!" She yelled right in my face again.

"What nonsense are you shouting now, you idiot!" I yell back at her face.

"Because! I know I don't have better sizes than Darkness, Yunyun or Wiz! But, how can you even prefer Megumin's body than mine?! You lolicon!" Aqua squirmed trying to get out grip.

Hearing the splashing of water at the back, and the restraint of a person, made me raise a brow for a second.

"Megumin-san, calm down..." Wiz tried to calm the raging crimson demon that was being restrained by Darkness and Yunyun.

Ignoring them I return the glare of the crying goddess in below me. "Why did you even think of that?!"

"It's not fair!... It's not fair!" She squirmed as she said those 3 words. "It's...*hic!* not *sniff!*...fair!" And slowly her squirming got weaker and weaker as her body started to pay attention into crying.

'Why is it unfair, Aqua?' Already narrowing my eyes in a slight painful manner. I just stared at her with a hurt expression.

"Making me do chores on the house...*sniff!*.. And them, doing the commands for couples, prostitutes, concubines, and wrestlers (Darkness...). Despite me, being the one you love...*hic!*... It's not fair!" Screaming at the last part, she wiped the endless tears with her free hand, as she continued hiccuping.

'... That's why...' My eyes widened, as the pieces started to come to me. 'The lust for a loved one, is much more stronger than the lust for others.' I can see her thinking those thoughts.

"...Or *sniff!* maybe it's because *hic!*... You just don't love me anymore?!" That sentence made her hiccup more.

"HOW DID YOU END UP THINKING THAT PART?!" I headbutted her to remove her line of thinking.

"Itai! That hurt, you Hiki-NEET!" She cushioned the blow with her free arm.

'Suites you right, for all the nonsense your thinking!'

"I'm doing this because I love you! I LOVE YOU, ALRIGHT?!" Saying that line made me blush so much.

"How can you hit the one you-... Huh?" she blinked questioningly... And slowly a blush soon covered her face. Her widened eyes still having tears stored up.

"Just...how can you say that to me?" I just grimaced for a second. "After everything I put up with, just to confess this to you everyday... You still think that my feelings for you are so weak, that they could change for after only 3 days?" I looked at her seriously.

"Datte!... *sniff!*.. You didn't order me in any way like the others, for the last 3 days!" she defended her reason.

"I WAS HOLDING BACK, YOU IDIOT!" Narrowing my eyes as I explained. "I wanted you to be the only one to rest easy." I confessed, really trying to ignore the 3 glares (Except Wiz) that was shooting at my back.

"...Etoo~" Aqua losing her words, and was now embarrassed to look at my face. "You don't look at my way! All your attention was on the others doing those commands for you!" She screamed, finding another petty reason.

"I was doing my best to restrain myself, so I don't want to look or gaze at you for very long, because I'm not sure what sort of command I would unconsciously blurt out the moment my self restraint was gone." I replied quickly and bluntly.

And that made the useless goddess open her mouth in disbelief. Her blush worsening by the second. "Then... Why didn't you just command me like the others then?!" Her last question... The last question, I don't want to answer.

'Should I answer this... Should I tell the truth?... Meh, I'm not really going to lose anything.' I shrugged internally.

"I don't want to lessen the chances of you finally going to love me back." I declared.

"Eh...?" Aqua now faced me... Clearly astonished by my answer.

"EHHHH~?" The others also gushed out, unexpecting my reason. Only Wiz smiled in the sudden change of events.

"*sigh~* Now that my plans have been foiled and exposed... I have a command now for you, useless goddess." Gushing out a sigh of exasperation. I looked at her again.

The form that was completely covered by towels... The form that has only her arms out... And the form that despite her body being completely hidden, her beautiful hair was still sprayed everywhere, and her blue eyes that was shining.

"Naniyoo? Is it me going to clean the bathroom this time?" she pouted.

'Crap, my self control is still weak. Her head is the only thing I can see, and it's still that way?!'

"You were complaining earlier for not getting a command like the others... So here is the worst I can do for now." I slightly grinned at the new idea at hand.

"...N-N-Naniyo?!" she now screamed in terror and embarrassment as she again tried to squirm out. Having a free hand this time, she tried to remove my left hand that was pinning her right wrist.

"Mwehehehe!" Not caring for the consequences I also pinned her flailing left hand also with my left hand.

"Hyaaaaah~! Help me!" Aqua now screamed in terror as her movement was trapped.

"What is this, rape!?" Megumin shouted shocked, holding her head in the process.

"This is all just a dream... This is all just a dream... A dream... Okaa-san wake me up now..." Yunyun sang quietly at the corner of the tub.

"Etooo! Kazuma-san, reasons please!" Wiz still tried to save me and Aqua... But unfortunately, her words cannot reach me anymore.

"Oh no!~ Oh no~... Gah! Ahh~! My greatest fantasy~~! Happening to my comrade!~~ U-U-Unfair!~" Darkness shook tremendously, causing waves and making the water overflow in the tub.

"Huhuhu... You asked for this, my beloved Aqua." I smiled, as I covered her mouth with my right hand.

"Mphhh! Pmhgfgg! (No I didn't, Hiki-NEET!)" She tried shaking her head to remove my hand covering her mouth.

"SO IT IS RAPE!" The others shouted and standing up in sync as I closed in.

"Uhhhhhhh~~!" Aqua just closed my eyes when she saw the pervert closing in on her.

And as it was only an inch just before contact, I inspected her for a while, the closest distance I've ever been on her face. Her expression, her eyes closed tightly as she could her eyes shaking because of it.

"*pfft!*" I snickered a laugh.

'You're an idiot...' I just smiled knowingly, as I closed in...

And I kissed her...

Technically an indirect kiss...

Only kissing the part of my hand where her lips should be...

Not bothering to close my eyes, as I just want to look at her face...Or maybe because I just don't want this clichéd situation to be more sickeningly more clichéd.

'...What the hell is wrong with me?!' Only realizing what I've been doing now, made me widen my eyes in anger... Not removing my lips on her still. 'I could have just kissed her in the lips! What the heck!' Despite already burning up to this situation, I still wanted more of the sensation. 'I know that my hand signifies the wall that we should accomplish first, before we should do the real thing. We need to realize our feelings for each other, as it must be needed to remove the wall right now.'

...BULLSH*T!

No one does that otome maided crap! Men don't even kiss women, they instantly go for s*x!

'S*X! S*X! S*X! S*X! '

Almost wanting to remove my hand to finally ignore this shenanigans... Aqua suddenly opened her eyes... 'Crap! I'm really close!' I thought, seeing her questioning eyes.

Then...every thought regarding moving my hand was suddenly removed, as we just stared at each other.

"Bi tankful E bidnt gu fer ur liss, useless-goddess... (Be thankful I didn't go for your lips, useless-goddess.)" I spoke still kissing her.

"W-W-W-Wut es ip wit u, Hiki-NEET! (W-W-What is up with you, Hiki-NEET!)" She yelled with a muffled voice.

'Be really grateful that I have a mind of steel, if this was another man, he would have already defiled you by now.' My eyes narrowed, looking at her.

"Jest bu qiot, ind lit ma fenesh. (Just be quiet, and let me finish.)"

After mumbling that, the useless goddess averted her eyes. Not closing her eyes... I followed suit, only staring at her face.

'I feel like the others are just staring at us...' Thinking that, I felt my back being shot by stares yet again.

Aqua looked at me, quickly averting her eyes the moment she saw me just staring at her... She repeated this for quite a while, and every time she did, I felt her face being warmer and warmer.

"Whi r uo stiring aet me?! Jaast cluse ur iyes, Hiki-NEET! (Why are you staring at me?! Just close your eyes, Hiki-NEET!)"

And that I did.

I just closed my eyes and gave more force to the indirect kiss...that was still going on.

"Uhhhhhh~!" I heard Aqua gushing out.

'Hmmm~... It's a mystery that I'm still going.' I just shrugged in my mind. 'Well what happens... happens.'

30 seconds later*

The air in the steam covered room had a sense of dread flowing around it. And the perverted masochist that was currently shaking in bath tub that was completely filled with hot water, wasn't the one releasing this dreaded air. As it was probably not me...Probably.

"Oyy. Oyy. How long is that pervert planning to do this." Megumin whispered, slightly getting hot from the tub.

"Phew~... I was holding my breath there for a second." Yunyun huffed and puffed.

"...Until Kazuma-san runs out of breath, I guess?" Wiz just smiled crookedly.

"This punishment is intense~." Darkness complied

'I wonder why I can't pull out...' I deliberately thought myself.

I was probably thinking that if I make the kiss longer, I will probably feel Aqua's lips after a while...

But I didn't.

Breathing to my nose (Thank God I can), I gave more force to the mysteriously unmoving goddess below me. I still had my eyes closed by the way. 'Heh, she's probably frozen still, embarrassed to her very core.'

'I can probably last 15 minutes or more.' I thought to myself as I continue my command.

If only I didn't think like a complete pervert like that...

If only I didn't come up with this underwhelming command...

If only I had just commanded her for s*x...

If only I hadn't closed my eyes at that time...

If only I had noticed that I was also covering the useless-goddess's goddamn nose...

If only I had noticed the desperate breathing pleas of her mouth and nose...

If only I had felt her feet shuffling like a dying animal...

If only I had saw her pitiably blushing face that was obviously out of breath...

"If only I had heard the screams of my comrades telling me to stop sexually harassing the useless goddess...

If only I had noticed her hands touching the rock bedded floor...

If only I had heard or even felt an earthquake happening at the ground...

If only I hadn't commanded her to bring a freaking hot spring here in the bathroom...

If only I had worn a bigger and longer towel to hide my man parts more...

If only she had made the hot spring shoot through my back, not my freaking ass...

If only the hot spring water was not strong enough to lift me from the ground...

If only I hadn't screamed like I was being butchered piece by piece...

If only I hadn't moaned in the end...

If only... I had confessed my true intentions earlier...

KO-NO-SU-BAAAAAAHHHHH~~~~

The night sky slowly showed itself to this unexpected parallel world we inhabit. The sun slowly burned out, giving away the world to the nocturnal color slowly covering the city of Axel. As the sun slowly sank down, so did the feeling of my numb butt that was bandaged up like a complete diaper. Nonetheless, I felt the choker still intact, tighter than ever before. The others looking at me as I did so, the situation hinting that some drama is happening.

"Why won't it come off? Every single wish I can think of has been granted."

Why does it feel like I'm still blushing like a recently penetrated maiden? No, no, it must be hot because of how tight this choker is strangling my freaking neck!

"Are all your wishes seriously like that?" Megumin abruptly asked. Yunyun just agreed nodding.

'You did see earlier before my butt got burned by boiling hot water beneath the Earth's crust, that I wasn't holding back anymore from that ungrateful useless-goddess right?!' I only just managed a bite in my lip as I thought irritated.

"If only that certain BLUE haired someone, had given a major HEADS UP hinting that she can't BREATHE..." I implied SLIGHTLY to a certain one in our group.

"HUH?! If only that a certain PERVERT would have not covered my NOSE, I would have BREATHED the air properly!" she also implied, as SLIGHTLY as I did. "And besides! I didn't expect that the hot spring would flow out like a fire hose! And also if it wasn't for you sexually harassing me for half a minute, this crime of yours would be fine!"

"What was that, you dumb goddess! Be thankful for my self restraint, if I didn't have a mind of steel, I would have ra*** you earlier!"

'If only had he just commanded Aqua from the start...' The others just thought out in sync, not really bothering to interrupt the unbreakable quarrel of the two.

"I-If you had just commanded me normally from the start, none of this would have happened!" Aqua screamed back, like the little ungrateful self proclaiming goddess she is.

"Ohhhhh~ Your DEAD!" My right hand glowed with the luminous bright light of the spell Steal. "I will not care for the you will hate me for this and that crap anymore! I will unleash every lust I built up for the last 3 whole days..." I pointed at her with the shining hand...that would probably look like a pervert planning to kidnap a girl, since I'm wearing a freaking diaper with no pants and all. "Get ready, useless goddess."

Everyone backed away unconsciously... Except the one who I was pointing at.

"H-Heh! Nothing is impossible for the great goddess Aqua... I'll show you the true power of a goddess." She replied, blazing her hand with a God Blow.

'Tch, showoff...'

Normal POV

Saying their goodnights (mostly the girls), and already changed to their pajamas. Everyone all went their separate ways in the mansion to go to their respective rooms. Yunyun went with Megumin to her room, since they are roommates. Rivals often are roommates with each other. Wiz however went with Darkness to her's. As she can't share the same bed as Aqua since being an undead and all. So, Aqua went to her royal bedded room solo.

Entering her room, Sui and Hikki perked up and their attention went to their blue haired owner. Aqua closed the door and leaned on it, obviously meaning that something happened. The two goldfish just waited their expressions not changing at the least.

Until Aqua looked at them...with an obviously painted blushed smile on her face. Dashing to their table, Aqua carried their bowl and assumably spun around her room holding it.

"The Hiki-NEET still loves me, Sui , Hikii!" she whispered at them at a screaming tone. She squealed hugging the bowl, and Sui and Hikki just blooped in reply. "Hehehe! Of course he does, I wasn't worried.. Not worried at all!" she defended, shaking her head. And the two only shook heads denying what she's saying.

Kazuma POV

"That dumb, ungrateful, self proclaiming useless-goddess!" I roll in my bed with irritation. 'Making me waste all my hardwork for nothing... Making me wear this diaper because of an injury she made because of self defense!?' Sitting up I feel the injured posterior in my body... "Why did it feel great at the last moment earli-" I shake my head to disregard the thought.

"That useless-goddess... She needs to pay...SHE NEEDS TO PAY!" I yell at my room.

"You're disturbing the neighbors, Kazuma!" The voice of the crazy explosion girl penetrated my should be soundproof walls.

"Ehhh?! You have neighbors here!?" I heard Yunyun probably yelling out in shock.

"D-D-Darkness-san!? Are you having a nightmare?! You're shaking in your sleep!" I heard Wiz, probably scared at what Darkness's state is in.

'*sigh~* So much for a caring bunch... They did not even stop me when Aqua was not breathing anymore... (Not realizing the lack of towels)'

Disregarding that last thought.. I instantly felt the night continue. As ideas flowed into my head, so did the flow of time of this sunny opposite. Imminent sounds of the owls' hooting was the only thing that could be heard at this time, almost nearing midnight. But my body was still going on and on with my revenge attack on the goddess.

"I'm going to make her dress up with my tracksuit, lay on her lap, sniff her hair as long as I want..." My list went on and on... Like almost I heard the last tick tocks of the clock outside of room...And as I heard the last hour of the day switch to 12, I also heard my choker tighten.

"GH!" It's presence made itself undeniable now, I try and grab the choker with both my hands to try and lessen the tightness of its wrap in my neck... But to no avail, I couldn't even grab or even put a finger to make the tightness loose. 'I... can't...breathe...properly...anymore.' I thought in between desperate breaths to catch a proper oxygen intake in my lungs. Not being able to breathe to my nose anymore, I try and calm myself down laying on my bed and staring at the ceiling. I slowly returned to my calm state, as I just continued staring at the ceiling, only the sounds of my desperate breaths could only be heard through my room.

'Crap... I...forgot...my...commands.' I thought in between breaths again. Slowly recollecting my commands I try and continue the list. "Make...her...cook...for...me,...as...I...hug...her... from...behind...and..."

My list suddenly stopped.

"And...and...and..." My desperate breathing also stopped for a brief moment as a realization slowly dawned upon me. 'I... can't think of anything.' I completely forget my list, not even having a small chance to get it back. 'Will this really work?' I thought out in complete succession, suddenly realizing I was not breathing, I quickly returned to try and breathe properly.

I tried sleeping for a couple of hours, only in my half asleep state... But no matter how much I felt sleepy, I cannot truly fall into slumber because of this choker that already has the power of a strangler. 'I... can't...sleep.'

My thoughts completely died out, I just stood up from my bed, not stopping in trying to get a good breathe of oxygen in my lungs. I walked slowly out of my room. Walking towards the hallway, I saw the door to Megumin's room. 'I...should...get...the...raiment...that...the loli pantied kid (nice succession) stole...from me...' Slowly thinking that I held my breath for a moment, and went inside. Looking around I saw the two rivals currently beside each other on the bed. "E-E-Explosion..." Megumin stated out, mildly holding out her imaginary staff. "I-I won, Megumin..." Yunyun replied, hearing her rival's voice.

'Even in their dreams they're dueling...' I thought out in rapid succession as I quickly looked for the pink raiment. Seeing it on the table, I quickly but quietly walked towards the table beside their bed. Having a last look at the two, I then went outside.

"Buwagh~..." I quickly tried and breathed in some oxygen desperately needed by my lungs. Finally getting a hold of the pink raiment for the whole night, I started wrapping it around my neck for starters.

Suddenly... I felt the choker weakened its strangle on my neck by a considerable amount... It was still tight, but it helped me regain the ability to breathe properly now.

I grabbed a hem of the raiment in my hand. 'You..dumb, ungrateful, useless goddess.' I thought out, slowly engulfing the raiment in my nose. Blushing at the feeling on how warm it suddenly made me feel. "I...kinda want to stare at her sleeping" Not thinking that I was talking like a pervert I..."slowly" (speedwalked) towards Aqua's room.

Not even bothering to enter her room quietly as it would take a whole more than that to wake Aqua up. I entered her room, almost like how I casually enter her room. Minor mistake, it didn't wake up the drooling snores of Aqua, but it did slightly jolt Sui and Hikki. "Crap, sorry about that guys." I whispered above their bowl. The two just looked at me and blooped in response.

'Do fishes sleep?... I kind of want to search that in Guogle right now.' Thinking that, my attention went to the sleeping beauty in front of me. Technically her face is just really beautiful, but her way of sleeping is just hideous and ugly. 'I can't believe I was able to even sleep at how loud she snores...' I rub an ear. Seriously... It's a good thing Sui and Hikki can even ignore this snore of a grown old man in their sleep...If they even do sleep.

'Now that I think about it...It's been a while since I saw her sleep like this.' Ever since we had the mansion, there was no reason for me and her to sleep together anymore...

I clearly remember when we first slept beside each other on the stables back then. I was really nervous and embarrassed since it was the 1st time I had a girl on the same bed or even slept beside a girl... And the moment we lay down... Oh boy, she immediately fell asleep and started drooling all over the place and snored as loud as our grown men neighbors/co-workers. All the embarrassment that I had, the fantasy of sleeping a girl, and the cliche statement of "You can't sleep?" was immediately thrown to the trash bin, and so did my expectations in this parallel world.

"And in the end, I still fell in love with her." I facepalmed myself, shaking my head in disbelief. 'I think I was just probably bitten by a lovebug or something.' As there really is no natural way for a man to be in love with this useless-goddess naturally.

"N-N-Naniyo? You don't love me anymore, you weak Hiki-NEET!"

I gasped at the suddenly spoken words. Seeing that her eyes were still closed shut and the way she scratched her belly, implies that she was sleeptalking.

'Oh yeah, she sometimes hears me saying rude things about her.' I just smiled knowingly as I grasped the raiment on my neck. I covered her with the blankets she kicked off, wiping the drooling saliva off her face with her own raiment, my face slowly went towards her ear.

"Sometimes I just hate to love you,useless goddess." I said, before leaving her room with Sui and Hikki.

A nice breeze brushed my body making the raiment flow throughout wind when I went to the balcony. Putting the already awake Sui and Hikki to the railing, I just leaned and stared at the sky for a moment.

"I wonder if this also looks like the sky back at Japan right now." I spoke out a cliche as heck line to 2 goldfish that don't know how to speak. Already wearing my tracksuit, I still had to shudder to the winter wind the sky was giving. I hid my head under the raiment more and put Sui and Hikki closer to me. With the long sleeves of the pink raiment serving as my gloves and "pot holders" for Sui's and Hikki's. The two swam cozzily warm in reply.

"*sigh~* I wonder what would my life in Japan would be right now." I just spoke, trying to release something inside me.

"I could have played a whole lot of awesome RPG games and watched a ton of anime(Ecchi) by now." I continued.

"Probably have tasted different kinds of cup noodles with brand new flavors and kinds." The feeling I had inside because of this choker.

"Probably already collected good poses of collectables of figurines and action figures." The feeling I only had felt recently.

"If I had just have never met this goddess, I would have probably continued to enjoy that kind of lifestyle." I knew why I was saying all of this.

"If I had never met this goddess, I wouldn't have went to this crap of a parallel world and instead just had a new life or even went to heaven." Are these lies or the truth? I could only know.

"If I had never met this goddess, I would probably be a billionaire by now if I had just picked a proper cheat item with me." Some were the truth, some were lies.

"If I had never met this goddess, I would had never met Wiz, Megumin, Darkness, and even Yunyun. I could have had an awesome party, and we would have already been at the Demon Lord's Castle by now."

But there was one truth that is undeniably true.

"If...I had never met this goddess. I wouldn't have experienced all of this... I wouldn't have felt happiness now... I wouldn't have realized the truth about my family... I wouldn't...had fell in love for a long time." I gazed at the two below me. "Oh yeah, we wouldn't have met you guys of it wasn't for your useless owner." Smiling slightly, I just returned the gaze the two were giving. 'You guys would have been cat food if it wasn't for her.' Sensing my scary thoughts the two rattled in their swim.

Seeing the birds slowly chirp out in after their slumber, and the stretching of their wings. The morning sun was becoming visible, and so did the city. Sunlight slowly bathed our mansion, and the birds now flew towards their worms (Early bird crap). "Yeah... I really hate loving you, you useless goddess!" I yell out the last of my regrets as the sun now shined in my face.

"Tch..." The choker... Already wearing Aqua's raiment, I still felt the accessory tighten in my neck. 'Damn you weight loss crap!' The two looked at me with worry as I felt the choker tightening within the raiment. "Let's...go inside." I lightly smiled to try and ignore the painful strangle.

Going to the main room, I now noticed the sunlight now lighting up the entirety of the room. "...Too bright..." I...complained as I close the curtains. 'I don't want to see the sunlight because of the brightness of course. It's not because I'm going to miss this sight.'

Going to my room I now changed to my adventure gear. Since I do not want to pass away dirtying my track suit... "And...I'm going to give it to her I guess. Since its just a waste not to."

Having one last look at my room, I then went back to the dark main living room. Putting my tracksuit, and Sui and Hikki on the table nearby, I just sat on the sofa waiting for the others to wake up.

Bit by bit, I reminiscent the past 10 months that happened to me here.

"Heh, I'm not going to cry like I did when I was beheaded by the Winter Shogun... Of course I *sniff~* won't!" Feeling my leg being suddenly wet from something, I also noticed Sui and Hikki looking at me sadly. 'Oh come on... I already died last time... Why am I still going to cry now!' I thought out as I rubbed the tears away and just sniffed the snot that was now trying to form in my nose. Still wearing the raiment in my neck, I could only hug the cloth in sheer sadness. "Why do I still wish to adventure with those girls more longer? I regretted that when I was resurrected." Still sniffing, I only continued to talk to my 2 listeners. "Hey, I'm also going to miss you two of course." I said as I grabbed them from the table and put them in my lap. After I did so, the two just looked at me upwardly as I complained and complained and complained until the others woke up.

Normal POV

"Hmm~ Hmm~ Hmmm~" Aqua hummed as she strutted throughout the hallway. 'I wonder when did the Hiki-NEET take Sui and Hikki? Heh, he probably stared at me when I was sleeping before he did.' she thought out cockily. Her eyes went up as she saw the 4 grouping up. "Ohayou~!" Aqua greeted.

"How on Axis(earth in the real world) are you in a good mood, knowing that your going to be sexually harassed by a pervert throughout the day?" Megumin raised a brow. Yunyun only nodding besides her.

"I-I-I- wonder if we're j-j-just going to be standing there watching, as Aqua g-g-gets s-s-shamefully commanded." Darkness stutteringly tries to hide her excitement for the day.

"Now, now, let's not keep Kazuma-san waiting. And let's make breakfast first, I'm quite getting hungry myself." Wiz interrupted.

"Let's cook eggs!" Megumin stated as they all went to the main room.

'Heh, that Hiki-NEET is probably waiting for me to show up!' Aqua thought out, as a blush soon started to paint her face.

The 5 little lambs of sorts, now entered the living room. Expecting today to be a sunny good morning, they instead saw the darkness of it.

"Why are the curtains blocking the sunlight-" Aqua didn't finish as she saw Kazuma sitting on the ground. 'He's wearing my raiment...'

"Thank you, everyone. I was happy." he said bowing to us.

"Huh?" We all muttered out.

'...Eh?' Aqua stared in shock and so did everyone else.

"Are you just guilt tripping us just so you could command us yet again?" Megumin raised a brow, thinking that Kazuma was joking.

"All I did was work out and wash myself! So you can continue, and command me a more gruesome order!" Darkness commented, still thinking that Kazuma was joking.

"Thank you for coping up with me after all this time. Really, thank you so much." he bowed again.

'How...can you be saying that? Aren't you still going to command me, right?'

"Aqua..." he looked at the useless-goddess. "Here." he grabbed his tracksuit and placed it in front of him. "Can you keep this for me? It's not that I want you to wear it after I die of course."

He said shaking his head at the thought of Aqua wearing it.

"Goddess...Blow." Aqua chanted silently. Waves of hot air blew around their surroundings, following the image of Aqua's fist flaring up with flames. "If you don't stop joking around, I'll really show you the true power of a goddess." she said seriously with not even a slight amount of the usual prideful, cocky tone in her voice.

"I am serious, useless-goddes-...huh?" he eyed the useless-goddess's flaming hand. 'It's...blue.' Also noticing that she had chanted Goddess Blow instead of the usual God Blow, feeling the air being hotter than her usual spell, and the blue flames implementing that its stronger than the mixed yellow and red one.

'She's...really angry huh?' Kazuma tried to revert his attention back to the others. 'I'll deal with her last.' His eyes went to the sad expressions of his other peers. 'Tch, you useless bunch... Don't look at me with those eyes... Especially you Darkness.' Kazumas lips slowly quivered as he bowed his head again. "I'm really grateful for meeting you guys... Thank you...so much for being the best friends a despicable scum like me would ever ask for... Ari-Arigatou!" Kazumo steeled himself to not cry right now using his mind of steel. 'It's still too early for me to cry damn it...' he thought, keeping his tears in check.

"W-Wait..." Aqua, feeling too shocked at what was happening, not knowing her spell diffused its flames.

I looked at them once again, and lastly my eyes went to the one in front. "Aqua..."

'Useless-goddess...'

"If it weren't for you..." he joined his hands together.

'It's because of you...'

"I wouldn't have met everyone here..." he put his forehead at the joined hand.

'If it weren't for your pridefulness and your cockiness, I wouldn't have brought you here...'

"And...I could have never lived a happy life here in this good for nothing wonderful world."

'And...I would had avoided the best choice in my life.'

"..." The others were staring at shock at the unbelievable sight of Kazuma praying to Aqua... And their eyes slowly chanted the salty water briskly building up in their eyes...Except Aqua who had a dark expression in her face.

"Kazuma-san..." Wiz was the first one to react, and moved towards Kazuma's side, kneeling at the ground beside him. "Kazuma..." Followed by Megumin. "Kazuma-san..." Followed by Yunyun. "Kazuma..." Followed by the surprisingly sad Darkness.

Aqua still stood at the front... Kazuma seeing the chance to continue, his intertwined hands slowly parted with each other, as he thought the last of his words. "I'm sorry if I couldn't keep my promis-!"

"GODDESS BLOW!" Aqua suddenly dashed forward with the questionably fast chanted blue flamed fist when Kazuma was about to finish.

Kazuma flew a couple of meters before landing on the cold hard floor. He quickly sat upright holding his chin. 'How overpowered is this thing!?' Luckily for him, the raiment's cloth flowed towards his chin the moment Aqua let out air pressure the instant she chanted her skill.

"WHAT THE HELL A...qua." he muttered out in the last part the moment he saw the useless goddess's angered crying face.

"That's what you get for joking around too much, Hiki-NEET!" she said, dissipating the flames on her hand.

"You weakling...you said you don't want to lessen the chances of me loving you back... But now you're doing it, you unfair weak Hiki-NEET!" she screamed, the volume almost reaching outside.

Kazuma only blushed slightly as he just looked at her, utterly shocked at what he just heard.

"Wiz! Can't we just cut of his head and remove the choker off his neck!?" Aqua turned and looked at the also shocked Wiz. An unexpectedly good idea leaving her mouth made Kazuma a little surprised.

But unfortunately...Wiz only replied with a shake of her head. "After the four day limit, after choking the wearer to death, the choker then coats the dead body with iron, immune from any resurrection spells or healing spells." she explained in detail.

'...What kind of an 100,000 eris accessory is sitting around in your store Wiz...' Kazuma could only stare in shock due to anger. 'But...'

"That can't be..." Aqua muttered out putting her head down.

'Seeing her this troubled because of me...really reminds of when I was almost killed by that should be bald One Shot Bear.

"Tch! I know you still have commands there, Hiki-NEET! Just shout them outloud and lets get this over with!" she said turning to him.

'The time when we both changed... whether for the worst or the best.' Kazuma stood up and went to Sui and Hikki's bowl.

'It's still a change that I should stick to at the very end.

"It's all okay now, Aqua." he said sitting again on the spot he sat earlier, only difference is he had the sad swimming Sui and Hikki.

"IT'S NOT OKAY!" she replied screaming, faltering everyone. And after a moment, her tears then formed on her eyes. "You said you love me right?! Then..." her tears now trickled down her face. "Live for me, you goddamn Hiki-NEET!" she yelled making everyone blush at the words.

'WHAT THE HELL, AQUA?!' he thought his mouth opened in shock. 'If that's the case...'

"Then, I have 2 last wishes." He declared to everyone.

The others eyes shined only for a moment as they felt the last chance of saving Kazuma. "What is it?!" ... Especially Aqua.

"Kneel in my level and face me here." Kazuma declared pointing at the spot in front of him.

'And the sexual harassing pervert is back.' Everyone thought in sync.

"Uhhhh~" Aqua only gushed out as she had no choice but to comply with Kazuma's command. She slowly went to the spot he pointed and slowly kneeled in front of him, only a few feet away from him. "Then what, perverted Hiki-NEET?" she said averting her gaze due to how close they are already.

'... It's all or nothing.' Kazuma braced himself.

"Tell me...DO YOU LOVE ME OR NOT!?" he screamed at the last part, blushing furiously the moment he finished.

Everyone covered their jaw dropped face, as they all looked at Aqua's expression. Even Sui and Hikki had the capacity to swim rapidly in their bowl due to the embarrassment.

"W-W-W-WHY ARE YOU ASKING ME THAT!?" Aqua also screamed, as her blush copied the guy who confessed yet again to her.

'I DON'T KNOW!' Kazuma thought. 'I...really don't know why...' he thought, now bringing his head down.

"I...just want to know before I die, if I made you love me, I guess." he lightly chuckled at the last part.

'...Kazuma.' Aqua thought out.

"I...don't hate you." she muttered out.

'...Figures.' Kazuma only lightly smiled his head still down.

"I see." he also muttered out to the shaking goddess in front of him.

"Of course." Megumin commented.

"Not surprising." Yunyun...

"Impossible." Masochist pervert...

Wiz only smiled crookedly...agreeing with the others.

'Way to rub salt in the wound... I'm really regretting thanking you guys...' Kazuma thought out almost on the verge of crying.

But...suddenly.

Aqua had hugged the rejected(?) confessor.

'Eh?' he thought out.

"Eh?" Everyone muttered aloud.

"*bloop~*" Sui and Hikki blooped aloud.

"I don't hate you. I don't hate you. I don't hate you. I don't hate you. I don't hate you. I don't hate you. I don't hate you. I really don't hate you, Hiki-NEET." Aqua muttered lowly in rapid succession.

And Kazuma's heart escalated in rapid succession. Feeling the useless-goddess's hands gripping his back, and the head of the goddess on his shoulder really made blush at the sensation. "I...see." he could only mutter out.

'...That means...' his eyes widened so much that it hurt his eyes.

"W-What does that mean?" Kazuma asked almost like a whisper of embarrassment.

"I-I-It means I don't hate you, Hiki-NEET!" Aqua repeated, not bothering to look at the Hiki-NEET she was hugging.

"Crap... I really do hate loving you, Aqua." he said to her as his hands now hugged her back. "I really do."

"W-What does that mean, Kazuma?" she only pouted turning to him.

"Taking it this long just to say it, what's up with you? Are you actually a hard sadist?" he blankly said turning his head to look at her.

"Don't compare me to the likes of you, Hiki-NEE...T" she trailed off right at the end when she saw the choker that was strangling Kazuma.

'His neck...' The part of Kazuma's neck that was being strangled by the accesory had turned into a terrifying color violet.

Kazuma raised a brow and slightly blushed because of the stare Aqua was giving. "What's up?"

'His been strangled like this for 4 days straight... How can he even breath properly in this state.' she thought out in shock. The useless goddess then brushed her finger to the dark violet part on Kazuma's neck.

"Oy, what the heck are you doing in my neck?" he asked embarrassed, slightly squirming out to try and get out of Aqua's touch.

'He can't feel it because of my raiment... But it only does that, the damage is there, it only weakens the pain.' she thought out staring as she closed her eyes and brought her palm in Kazuma's neck. "Heal." she chanted, her hand glowing with green light.

The choker glowed with a dark menacing violet color the instant it absorbed the green light Aqua had summoned, and it tightened yet again in his neck.

"GH!" Kazuma's eyes suddenly snapped open, knowing that he can't grab the choker, he instead quickly tried to tighten Aqua's raiment in his neck. "You sadist useless goddess!" he yelled at her head butting her in the process. 'Oh no... I can't breathe properly anymore!' he thought out again trying to get a good breathe of oxygen in his lungs.

"What is your last command Kazuma?" she immediately asked rushing to remove the choker now.

'This is the last chance to remove this freaking cursed choker out of my neck... If this doesn't work... No, it has to work!'

"Cover your mouth. No excuses." he said blankly. 'So there will be no more excuses like you can't breathe and crap!'

The others now covered their eyes due to the embarrassment of the situation... Except, Darkness who was actually staring with excitement. Sui and Hikki just looked upwardly at their owners.

'I won't let you die, Kazuma.' Aqua declared with a strong blush, as she braces herself.

Kazuma POV

This is it...

My last chance to be saved...

The last commandment I can think of...

And the last thing I want to do to this useless-goddess.

The useless goddess whom I loved...

The useless goddess who finally loved me back... And...the Aqua who I want to be with forever.

I closed my eyes...

Waiting for at least 10 seconds before closing in, since I really don't want to be pummeled by a Goddess Blow again because of the lack of patience and excitement... Only hearing my heartbeat that was rampaging through my chest and the creepy long breaths of Darkness from the back...

I waited...

It felt like an hour for me...

I counted... 10...9...8...7... It actually takes too long I'll go in now.

*chu!*

*sigh~~~~* This feels great...

This is pure bliss... Kissing her smooth hands that actually holds the strength to punch a full grown man flying...

Her smooth hands that felt so smooth that I can actually slide through it...

CRAP... I might get addicted to this... It just feels so good... I mean REALLY good...

There really is a huge difference in kissing my rugged hands and her smooth hands...

Wait is she breathing?... Oh yeah she is. I can feel her breathing since our nose our just side by side each other...

So I can actually take a long time doing this since she can breathe, unlike freaking last time... I can probably last an hour or so, if this choker does last for another hour...

I'm sorry guys, I want to kiss this unbelievably soft hands that actually feels like a marshmallow...

I pressed my lips harder to her hand(?)... That's strange...

Why don't I feel any bones?... Really strange...

What kind of hands do you have Aqua?...

I tried and moved my lips only slightly to try and explore to know why there's no bone... But it only got stranger since I can't feel any hard bone, only unbelievably soft fat...

Wait...

I tried opening my lips a little...

Those hands(?) also opened slightly like mine...

Don't tell me...

I pressed my lips harder and opened them trying to grab the should be hand(?) skin...

But instead, I grabbed something completely similar to my lips...

What are these hands, Aqua!?...

This are like lips...

Lips?...

Wait...

Aqua...

I gathered air through my nose, inflating my cheeks with air and exhaled the said air through my mouth...

There should be a farting noise being made by that action but instead...

"*hmph!*"

I heard a cute squeak being made, as I felt the thing I was kissing being bigger. Suddenly the air I passed on was returned back to me again inflating my cheeks in the process.

'How can hands do that!?'

I immediately snapped my eyes open as I needed to know what I was kissing with my lips. It might be a dog, a cat, a Giant Toad, or even Sui and Hiki (If they can even produce that much air with their little faces.). But...instead... I saw the aqua blue eyes the closest I've ever saw them.

"What the hell are you doing, inflating me like a balloon, Hiki-NEET." she said still kissing me, trying not to scream as she just looked at me with narrowed eyes.

"Huh?...Eh?...Huh?" I could only mutter out still kissing her.

"I know you wanted to kiss my lips, I know your just too scared to ask and you didn't even give me at least 5 seconds to get ready, Hiki-NEET!" she only talked a little louder...still kissing me.

"I-It's because it felt like an hour actually." I could only offer an excuse even if I know that she won't believe it. I'm still kissing her by the way.

'I'm kissing Aqua... I'm really kissing her... How can we actually talk when our lips are literally sticking with the other?'

"Tch, your lips are all chapped, useless goddess." Trying to remove even a little embarrassment from this, I tried teasing her still kissing her by the way.

"Says the guy who's lips feel like cement, Hiki-NEET!" she replied with same intention as me. "Be thankful that I, the beautiful water goddess, Aqua, gave you my first kiss. Be honored!" she explained with a dark blush, still kissing me...again.

'...I'm her first...Crap, I can't believe I'm feeling happy because of that.' My eyes slightly twitched because of my own foolishness.

"Huh?... I thought you would kiss anyone just to get alcohol. Guess, you're still a girl after all."

*bite!*

"Ouch! What was that for!?" I yelled as I felt her bite my lip for a brief moment but we never pulled out from each other.

"That's for taking away my first kiss, and treating it like a small thing! Your just a pervert who would kiss any girl you see who has a better body than me!' she pouts averting her eyes from me.

'You're not cute... You're not cute at all!'

"Oyy! That was also my first kiss you know! And I'm not THAT perverted to kiss other girls besides the one I love anyway!" I declared to her, pressing my lips in the process.

"Uhhhh~!" Her eyes only twitched in embarrassment as she just averted her eyes.

'Not CUTE!'

"Well, probably."

"! *chomp!*"

"ITAI~!" I pulled out for a moment. "I'm already being strangled here to death and your biting me?!"

"Hmph!" She only pouts in reply.

'I...want more.'

"I'm going to bite you too. Gender equality." I said blankly, as I closed in.

"What kind of a lame excuse is tha-*hmph!*" Not bothering to let her finish I pressed again my smooth(a lie) lips to her chapped ones.

We just stayed in that position until the other wanted to pull out and so. But,... both of us didn't pull out. 'More for me then..'

"Impossible... Did Kazuma have blackmail material on Aqua?!" The arch wizard embarrassingly comments covering her eyes slightly peeking on the scene.

"Awawawa~!" Yunyun let out copying her rival's actions.

"Why am I not excited on this?" Darkness said questioningly, letting out a light blush unlike her excited blush.

"I-I'm happy for the two of them." Wiz had an embarrassed smile displayed.

But...as it always... Happy times...always gets crushed by the power of reality.

"GHHHHHH!" My eyes that was currently closed as we were still kissing, suddenly snapped open as unbelievable pain quickly took my neck. I backed out from our kiss and coughed to desperately try to breath. Again, I tried and tightened Aqua's raiment in my neck, so much that I was almost strangling myself.

"Oy! I don't have fish breath if that's what you're implying...Kazuma?" Aqua now opened her eyes too... I tried to hide my gritting teeth as I only raised a brow at her.

"That's...*wheeze*...you get...*wheeze*.. for hanging out... *wheeze* with Sui and Hiki too much." I tried acting like nothings wrong but, I was already shaking from the pain, and I can't even complete sentence without my desperate breathing.

"Kazuma...I already let you kissed me, and the choker still didn't come off?! What did you even wish for!?" she yelled, her actions not following her anger as she purified her raiment to become stronger.

"I don't know... *wheeze* I really don't know anymore... *wheeze* I can't think of anything of anymore..."

The choker tightened yet again, implying I don't have much time left.

I looked at everyone again... The worried expressions of my teammates, the eyes of Sui and Hikki looking upwardly at us, and...

"Purification. Purification. Purification. Purification. Purification." The desperate look on the useless-goddess's.

Making my decision... I tightened Aqua's raiment to its core. 'Please give me more time...' I pleaded to the choker in my neck one last time to make me breath for this last moments. Suddenly having a good breath of oxygen I faced towards the others.

Already done saying my thanks to the others. My eyes went gently to Sui and Hikki. I gave them a small smile to not let them get anymore worried. "You two are the best listeners a guy like me and that useless goddess can have... I'm leaving Aqua to you guys." I slightly grinned at them. They only replied with a sad nodded bloop. "Take care of her for me okay?" Hugging their bowl one last time, I then placed them on the floor.

And lastly...my eyes went to the useless-goddess. She looked at me with sad widened eyes, shaking her head with disbelief. 'Don't look at me like that, you useless-goddess.'

I...tried to not be sad as I don't want to die with regrets. "Hehehe, you going to miss the guy you love, Aqua-sama?" I could only tease her with a carefree voice as I slightly feel I'm losing time bit by bit.

"Your.. accepting that your going to die? After all this?" Aqua replied ignoring my carefree voice, putting her head down in the process.

"...I was happy... No, I am happy. I don't have anymore regrets... It's all okay now. I can die peacefully now." I give off a gentle smile trying to put her at ease.

Aqua only shaked in reply. And finally... "*hic!* Why do you always do this to me? *hic* You're always making me cry, dumb Hiki-NEET!" she yelled trying to wipe off her now flowing tears.

"*sigh~* You're just a crybaby, useless-goddess." I only replied with a knowing sigh, as I used her raiment to wipe away her tears.

"How *sniff!* can you *hic!* do this *hic* to the one *sniff!* you love, Hiki-NEET!" she yelled again at my face.

'No regrets, Kazuma... No regrets...'

"I'm doing this because I love you... I love you okay? I really love you... I love you so much you useless-goddess." I only whispered to her as I held her hand.

"Then...*hic!* Don't leave me! *sniff* If you..love me...then live for me!" she weakly headbutted me. "If this *hic!* was going to happen, *sniff!* then all my efforts has been wasted!" she declared.

'...What?' Shocked my very core I slowly backed away from her.

"What do you mean?"

Aqua not realizing that she accidentally blurted out an important detail, shenonetheless continued. "I'm immortal, Kazuma... I age more slowly than mortals... I rejected you, because I don't want to be left out when the time comes when you pass on... I rejected you and rejected you and rejected you, but you still didn't give up on me... And now, you're just going to accept that you're going to die? I don't want to be alone anymore, Hiki-NEET!" she finished...

She finally told the truth...

The very reason why she rejects me...

The very reason why this all happened...

The very reason why she can't love me back...

It's all...

It's all...

"YOU USELESS-GODDESS!" I yelled, not caring if I'm wasting the precious oxygen left in my body. "THAT'S IT?! IS THAT IT?! THAT'S ONE OF THE WORST CLICHÉS EVER, YOU USELESS GODDESS!"

"What do you mean, that's it?! Put yourself in my shoes, Hiki-NEET!" she yelled back.

"What kind of a goddess doesn't even follow her own words you idiot!" I said reminding her of what she said to me back then.

"Ehh? *sniff!* What own words?" she asked questioningly.

"No matter what path you take, you'll definitely regret it later. So, just choose what makes you the happiest right now." I copied her words, using the last of my breaths I told her the words she said to me last time.

"I..." Aqua stared at me... Shocked by what I said. "Watashi wa..." Her hands slowly went to me. "Watashi wa...*hic!*" I reached out for her hand...

"GHHH!" As our hands are about to touch, I pulled my hands back and grabbed the choker that was strangling me.

"Kazuma!" Everyone screamed going towards me. Aqua grabbing my shoulders, she tried to purify the raiment again.

'...This is it... There's no more time for me.' I just thought out blankly as I felt the choker now being unfazed by the purified raiment. I felt that I was going to black out any moment now.

Seeing the others being worried and sad for me... Our two goldfish swimming around in a panic because of me... And.

"Don't die *sniff!* on me, Hiki-NEET! Don't die *hic!* on me, Hik-Kazuma!" Aqua yelled looking at me, trying to keep me conscious...

Was more than enough for me.

I prayed...

I prayed to the choker...

I prayed to it to make me say my final words...

I prayed to it to make me breath one last time...

To make me say my final words to my friends...

To make me say my final words to her...

'Please... Kami-sama...' I felt a hoop of light appearing above my head, feeling like the one who was the whole victim in this accident.

Miracles do happen... As I had my very last breath of oxygen filled properly in my air sac... Not wasting any time I removed Aqua's hold on me, as I stood up from my spot.

"I have a few things to apologise about." I stood up with a gentlemanly posture.

'I still want to be remembered as the Kazuma they all knew and probably loved...'

"Megumin... When I was carrying you on my back, after your explosive magic sessions, I would purposely shift your position just so I could feel your breast on my back. Gumene." That comment made the sad into the disgusted.

'I need to stay like the pervert I am for them...'

"Yunyun. Wiz. Whenever I would talk to one of you, my eyes were always on your breast. You've got a huge bust, Wiz. And Yunyun's clothes reveal her breast a bit. I always thought that, well it was your own fault for having such bodies. Gumene." That comment made the guilty into the guiltless.

'For myself...'

The crusader for some reason had a blush of excitement on her face. "Darkness... Ever since we started living together in this mansion, all I could see in you was your boobs. You are boobs. Oppai... Gumene." That comment made the excited into the

'And...'

"Aqua..."

'For her...'

"When we would sleep in that stable... I tried really hard to see you as a heroine, but it was no use. Gumene." That comment made the tears of sadness into tears of anger.

"So you didn't love me at all, Kazuma-san! You didn't love me at all!" she cried shaking me.

My legs ran out of strength to stand straight, as I leaned my head on Aqua's shoulder for support. Doing my best to stay awake, I begged the choker one last time as I didn't bother breathing anymore.

"Kazuma!" she yelled supporting my body.

"*wheeze*...*wheeze* That was what I felt on our first days together." I whispered to her already out of breath. "But...*wheeze* now... It's the complete opposite..."

"No... Kazuma... *hic!*... Don't go..." she begged me.

'I can't hear her clearly anymore...'

"*wheeze*... I really don't know what life I would have had...*wheeze*...if I hadn't met you, useless goddess."

My eye lids are so heavy, I can't open my eyes properly anymore. "*wheeze*... Thank you... Aishite-mause...*wheeze*... Aqua-sama."

"No...No... Don't leave me... *hic!*... Onegai!" her grip on me tightened.

'My hearings...really getting...bad.' Now having no strength to even think I said the very last of my thoughts.

"*wheeze* Hey... I have *wheeze*... one last wish...Aqua." I said with half lidded eyes, while my voice slowly died down.

"What is it!?" Aqua rushed, shaking my body.

"*wheeze*... Say you...love...m" My vision suddenly got darker as I didn't even finish my sentence.

"I...I..."

I heard a voice... My vision covered in black...

"I l-!"

*SNAP!*

'Huh?' Suddenly my thoughts came back together, as I felt something on my neck fall off. Regaining the strength, I breathed the best oxygen I felt in my lungs as I regained the strength to open my eyes.

Opening them I quickly saw the choker on the ground.

"What? Why?" I muttered out feeling my neck.

My eyes again went to the girl with blue hair, drinking her tea as she watches Wiz and Darkness. She looks blankly at me for a second until looking away, clearly in a bad mood.

'What is she angry again for...?' I could only just cringe as I can't think of another way to make her happy and smile again.

'Tch!... I've saved her from One-Shot Bear,... I've took property of her not giving her away to other parties,... I took her to a date to the festival,... I held her hand,... I've danced with her, ...I've faced Bitter *cringe!* Sharks with her,...I've confessed,... I took care of her in her illness,...I've made a birthday party for her, ...I always take care of her, ...I always worry about her, ...I tease her so much because of how much cute she is...and I've loved her.'

'Is she still unsatisfied for all I've done for her?...' I just don't understand it...

'What the hell should I do, just to make her tell me that she loves me?!' I just scream in my thoughts in frustration.

'Oh yeah, I actually wished for her to say it...And the moment she was going to, the choker suddenly snaps.. . What a freaking cheapskate.'

"Hey, shit-NEET."

I felt a shiver in my neck when those words entered my ears. Looking at my peers, I saw the most disgusted, angriest and darkest expression they ever made, completely opposite of the expressions they had earlier.

"Oy, oy, oy, you saw how much pain I was feeling earlier right? Don't look at me like some sort of trash!" I shot back, feeling the sweat flowing down my back.

"Why don't you just wear this choker again?" Aqua asked with the most gentlest tone she can master, that it was actually terrifying in both ways than one.

"H-Hey, is that a face you should be showing to the one y-you love r-right?" I hugged the raiment for dear life, holding my only chance of defence.

The useless-goddess just grinned snapping her fingers, taking away my only chance of survival. "I'm doing this because I love you~."

'That line should have made me happy, but its the complete opposite!'

"If you had just said that earlier, none of this should have happened!"

I looked at my comrades, who I thanked from the bottom of my heart.

"Hey, can I cast my explosion spell now?" Megumin darkly said with a hint of scary excitement filling her voice.

"No! Megumin!" Yunyun remarked.

'YunYun!' I almost had tears in my eyes when I saw Yunyun standing up for me.

Until...

"We should have a competition on who's spell is stronger... Whether its your Explosion or my Light Saber..." she shook her rival with dark excitement.

'SCARY!'

"*mmmm~!* Why am I getting excited? I should be excited if I'm the one going to feel pain... This is a first for me, let's begin Kazuma..." Darkness said with a blush, cracking her knuckles.

'How'd you turn masochistic into a complete sadist!?'

"No, no, no, everyone we shouldn't do that..." Wiz interrupted patting their shoulders.

"Save me, Wiz!" I screamed in delight as my last line of defense is released.

"We shouldn't do that inside the mansion guys... Let's go outside first..." Wiz smiled sweetly... Sweetly terrifying.

'No...No... It can't be!'

My eyes went to my very last hope of surviving. "Sui! Hikki!" I shot my hand towards them.

'They wouldn't hurt a guy with a fish bowl!'

But all I saw were the turned fish figures of the two, munching off a whole stick of Pocky shoved in their bowl.

'Why act like Aqua now!?'

"You traitors!" Tears of betrayal slowly flowed down my cheeks.

Seeing the 5 little lambs closing I tried to back away. "No...No..."

Their shadows slowly overlapped my body as I slowly saw Darkness's darkness.

"Ya-Yamete~~~!" I only screamed helplessly like a girl being defiled, as the 5 little lambs beat the crap out of me.

The air on the afterlife realm had a sense of awkwardness flowing in the air. With the realm only containing 2 chairs that are faced face to face didn't help the situation any less awkward as it is. The two figures being the goddess Eris and the now track suit wearing Kazuma, the Defiled.

Eris only blinked in rapid succession after knowing the situation. I just put my head down ashamed of myself.

"Eto...can I say something." she finally interrupted the silence.

"...Go ahead."

"Please don't die in such a ridiculous manner." she said putting her head down.

"..."

'And I can't even make a comeback...'

The silence then came back to the two of us as there is nothing left to say or do, since we were just waiting for my body to be resurrected.

"Hey..." I interrupted the silence.

"What is it?" Eris replied, probably knowing what I'm going to say next.

"Is it true that you guys are still immortal even if you go to the parallel world?" I asked curiously.

Eris only discarded her smile, implying that she's serious. "We're not exactly immortal when we go that parallel world. But we still age much more slower than an average human living there. Probably what must be 15 years for you, only takes a year on us."

'So that's why...' I can't help but also feel sad to this sudden truth.

"I see." I only managed to barely reply.

"So, what do you plan on doing now?" Eris asked looking at me.

'...What I plan to...'

"*chuckle*" I only grinned back at her. "Isn't obvious? Of course I'm going to do what makes me happier right now. No matter what kind of decision you make you'll probably regret it later. So just do what makes you the happiest right now." I finished, repeating her words.

Eris only blinked in my words.

"Pfft!" Until, she giggled, seeing it for the 1st time I couldn't help but be captivated by my ex heroine.

"T-That sounds like what Aqua-senpai would say!" she said finally done with her fit, wiping off a tear of laughter.

'So I've really fallen deep to that useless-goddess's level huh?' I could only just breathe out a sigh as that thought hit me.

"I think I really had been bitten by a love bug." I shrugged probably thinking it was true.

And finally...

"Come back now, Hiki-NEET." A grumpy voice echoed through the realm.

My body quickly stood up jolting in response to the tone of her voice. "Yes, Aqua sama!" I replied nervous to what was coming to me.

Eris just smiled crookedly as she snapped her fingers, showing the magic circle of revival. "Goodluck out there Kazuma-san." she said winking at me.

"You got it." I replied with a smug tone as I felt my body slowly levitate to the exit.

...As Kazuma's body was about to leave the realm, Eris had a sweet smile on her lips befitting the smile of a true goddess. "...I lied." she confessed her sin to herself as she closed off the magic circle.

My eyes snapped open, feeling my body in one piece, and seeing the ceiling in our mansion, meant that I returned to the parallel world. Oh yeah, I also was lying in Aqua's lap as I always do when I get resurrected.

"I-I'm back... Aqua." I tried to break off the silence. Seeing her averting her gaze from me, really meant that she was in a bad meeewd. "Oyyy~... Talk to me already~ " I cooed out, trying to get her attention, but she still had grumpy expression on her face. I just sighed, taking off my head on her comfortable lap. Seeing that the living room was only occupied by us 4 (adding Sui and Hikki) meant that the others probably went out.

'And she stayed here...' I thought out looking at her, slightly blushing at the thought.

"Hey Aqua..." I tried getting her attention once more.

And finally she just looked at me with blank look on her face. Taking it as my chance I sat properly in front of her.

"I'm going to do what makes me the happiest right now... Since we're both going to regret it later, then let's just do what makes us the happiest now instead of not having the chance to do it."

She just put her head down in reply as her pout still didn't leave her face... Then she nodded to me.

'All in a hard day's work...' I breathed out of a sigh of relief as the new life I've worked upon to obtain has finally come in this oh so wonderful world of mine.

Aqua again averted her gaze from me still pissed off.

"Hey Aqua." I called.

Her gaze went towards me again.

..."*chu!*"

I chanted a Steal spell on my lips to steal hers. Doing it for a brief moment, I quickly backed away doing the blankest face I can master but a blush still painted my face. "I'm sorry for what I did earlier."

"W-W-What the hell, HIKI-NEET?!" Now finally back to her old self she just covered her lips with crimson face at the sudden realization at what happened.

'Falling in love with a useless party member? Check.'

"I heard that the 2nd kiss can revert your attention back to the person your talking to... Oh yeah, I also heard that the 3rd kiss can also cure anger, so let's go do that." Saying that I puckered up again as I slowly went in.

"What lies are you blurting out now, you perverted Hiki-NEET! No~!"

And the goldfish just swam with satisfaction. With their stomachs full and their owners' lives finally escalated to a new level.

EPILOGUE

"Hmmmm~!" Aqua stared intently at the cursed weight loss accessory.

'That dumb Hiki-NEET...' she thought irritated as she recapped the events the in the last four days. "Making us every command he can think off... Even giving my first time to him, because of a wish he acted like he had forgotten."

Saying that Aqua had developed a revenge plan to her abuse by the NEET. With that mindset... "Hey, Kazuma!" she called out.

The others still haven't returned from their therapy hours ago, Kazuma was taking a rest by the strangling days of his choker incident, and Aqua was just in her room thinking of the incidents that happened today. Her face quickly flushed itself as she just shook her to the thought of her first time being stolen once again. 'He needs to pay... HE NEEDS TO PAY!'

Kazuma walked sleepily towards Aqua's room. 'What does she want now...?' he thought out giving off a yawn. And as he opened the door...

*CLINK!*

He heard the traumatizing sound of a 100,000 eris cheapskate cursed item possessing his neck again... But unfortunately it didn't attack his neck but his loved one!

"Aqua!" he dashed towards the moment he saw the useless-goddess wearing the choker.

"Hehehe!" Aqua however only had a smug grin on her face as she saw the Hiki-NEET's worried expression. 'Now you know how I felt, Hiki-NEET...'

"Are you crazy?! If that choker tightens on you, it will really be painful!" he smacked her head.

"What was that for?! Don't compare me to the likes of you, completely forgetting what he wished for, the moment he wore it!" she shot back.

'That was actually YOUR fault!' Kazuma thought with gritting teeth.

"What did you wish for, useless-goddess?! " Kazuma rushed. "There's no way I'll let your skin that is finally mine, be damaged!"

"W-W-Why are you saying they're yours!?" she said hugging herself. "Just go buy me food! Like how you did to me at the 1st day!" she said pointing outside.

Kazuma only raised a brow, secretly giving a sigh of relief because she remembers her wish.

The two then went outside the mansion together. "Well then, I'm off." Kazuma declared, slowly walking towards the city.

"Wait." Aqua interrupted his stride. "You have to run with tears in your eyes, and also run screaming "Nandeyo~!"."

"Huh? Why the hell would I do that?" Kazuma asked blankly raising a brow.

"That was how I did it when you commanded me!" she exclaimed.

"There's no way I'll run while crying and screaming why." he replied with the same tone of his voice. Kazuma then continued to walk his way towards the city.

"Oh no... I think the choker just tightened." Aqua muttered out feeling her neck.

That comment made the Hiki-NEET run... Running sarcastically like a girl. "Nandeyoo~." he yelled(?) lazily as he slowly went to town.

"Uhhhh~! That's unfair, Kazuma!" Aqua yelled towards him.

"*sigh~*. So what now, Aqua sama?" Kazuma deliberately asked massaging the shoulders of his tyrant commanding useless goddess who was now sighing with pure bliss. 'My back hurts... I should be recovering right now, you useless-goddess!' he thought out, his eyebrows twitching.

"I'm full~!" she screamed out. The two were currently in the grass outside their mansion. "Demo! I have one last stomach to fill!"

'You probably have like 12 stomachs there, Aqua sama.'

"Desserts! I want some Pocky!" she screamed like a little kid.

Getting a box of her requested dessert, Kazuma just tossed her the box. "Here you go." He yawned wanting to go to sleep.

"Tch! Tch! Tch! Not yet, Hiki-NEET!" she said waving her finger. "You have to feed them to me!"

'I'm avenging you Yunyun and Megumin!... It's not that I was jealous or anything...Not at all!' Aqua thought out.

"...Ok fine, let's get this over with." Not bothering to overreact at her, Kazuma just opened the box having little to no change in his blank face.

Aqua sat properly on the grass, she then closed her eyes and shot her face closer to Kazuma.

'...Why does it look like you want a kiss!?' he blushed furiously as he saw the useless-goddess's lips again. Swallowing his nervousness, his hand slowly picked up a stick of the chocolate treat and his stick (Don't be thinking of impure thoughts) slowly went towards her mouth.

Sensing something hard pressing up her lips, Aqua slowly opened her mouth accepting the brown stick of deliciousness and savoring the taste of it before slowly munching the stick bit by bit. Swallowing, she gave off a sigh of pure bliss. "O...mai~~" she cooed out.

"..."

'Why did I hold my breath for a moment there?' Kazuma thought out shaking his head.

This went on slowly... So slowly that the sun was almost setting. Kazuma was actually getting sweaty because of the intensity of feeding someone you love was actually this intense!

Seeing the box only having one last stick of deliciousness made Kazuma think for a moment. 'No...' he shook his head. 'I can't break her trust towards me. The fruits of my efforts are finally rewarded, so...I'll just take things slow.'

He grabbed the stick...and put it in his mouth. 'Starting tomorrow.'

Aqua sensing that something dangerous was going to happen, ignored it since she trusted Kazuma so much and knew he wouldn't break her trust, she believed him. Feeling another stick being pressed on her mouth she again grabbed it and slowly munched through it. Guessing that this was the last one Aqua consumed it much more slowly. 'That's weird...' she thought out curiously. 'This one is much much more heavier than the last ones... Don't tell me...' she slowly realized... 'Did the Hiki-NEET put a treat at the end of the stick!? I'm going to make this last even more!' she slowly realized a harsh lie.

Kazuma was blushing furiously but still had a blank expression on his face as the other end of the Pocky was now bitten by Aqua. He didn't bother closing his eyes.

"Phew~ That was a really good therapy!" Megumin exclaimed skipping happily back towards their mansion.

"Yeah, I agree. Wiz has some really great connections." Darkness replied stretching her body.

"Yeah! I can't even remember what happened in the last 4 days!" Megumin thankfully said.

"Indeed, even I don't recall what happened in the last 4 days." The crusader agreed. "But..." Suddenly her breathing became extremely ragged. "But, I feel like it's probably something really shameful." she finished.

"If what happened made you like this Darkness, then it's probably something terrifying." The arch wizard said blankly.

"But..." Darkness's masochistic blush suddenly vanished. "I feel like the very last part is really something dreadful." she added having a dark expression on her face.

"... Why do I feel like it's something really disgusting and despicable." Unfortunately the arch wizard went in sync with the crusader.

The two soon saw the mansion at the end of the road home. Hitting a sense of nostalgia as they walked towards it closer and closer. Then they saw the yard that was being occupied by their other two party members.

"Wha-!?" The two gasped. Seeing Kazuma slowly attacking the innocent Aqua.

"No...No...No!" Megumin clutched her head, remembering the crimes of sexual harassment that happened, and also remembering the same experience that was happening to Aqua right now. "It can't be!" Her body shook as she fell to the floor clutching her knees.

And Darkness fainted, landing on the floor.

'*gulp* Almost there...' Kazuma thought out as he heard the clicks of Aqua consuming the pocky. And each click, she slowly closed in on his face.

'What is it... What is it... Is it ice cream?! Or maybe chocolate?!' And Aqua innocently not knowing the situation was just guessing in her own world.

A few more clicks was made, until their faces had only a few more inches left. 'THIS IS IT!' Aqua breathed before clicking the pocky stick. And Kazuma felt sweet bliss wash over his lips flowing down his body.

The sweet bliss only happened instantly as Aqua bit to the lips of the pervert in custody.

"IHAAAAAIIII~~~!" Kazuma screamed helplessly as the useless-goddess's teeth sinked through his lips.

The moral of the story.

Do not wear a 100,000 priced eris weight loss accessory in an undead's shop.

And most importantly...

Do not Pocky kiss a hungry useless-goddess.

CHAPTER 16 FINALLY ENDS!

A/N: PHEW~~~~~! FINALLY FINISHED THIS ONE! This update is thrice as long as my usual update. I'm sorry if I made the story boring since I just made an unbelievably out of character chapter undeniably longer xD! Criticism is absolutely allowed, I really need to improve my writings and Kazuma and Aqua's personalities. I just can't really think of another way on how I can really show their original personalities in the concepts I've thought of.. But even though I'm still sorry on how the way I write and such I still thank the people who finished reading this seriously from the bottom of my heart :) But, even if I do overstretch everyone's personalities, my promise to finish this doesn't change. I just hope that my updates are at least tolerable for you guys to read xD But, I think I can probably follow the twos' original personalities in the next chapters of the story, since the two are basically a couple now... OR ARE THEY?... Please look forward to the lemons after this one :) Please support me! Thank you so much for having the time to finish the chapter :)
