Cecily Route Part 2
The Weirdest Timeline
The first thing Kazuma did when he got back to the mansion was to bury the belt, and deeply. He wasn't quite sure what had just happened to him, but he was both embarrassed and excited by it. So instead of burning the belt, he just hid it as deep under the vegetable garden as he could.
After that, Kazuma went inside, intending to take a bath, and maybe try reminding himself of his masculinity. Instead, he found his party members getting ready for a quest, along with Yunyun for some reason.
"Ah, Kazuma! You're just in time! I'm broke, and I want more stickers! So we're going on a quest!" Aqua insisted, grabbing Kazuma and dragging him towards the door.
"What?! I was…busy! Last night…and I don't have my gear!" Kazuma protested, trying not to sound like he was whining.
"I have Chunchumaru," Megumin said, and shoved the sword into Kazuma's hands.
"I have your bow," Darkness said, and handed over that along with his quiver.
"Oh, er, um…why is Yunyun here?" Kazuma demanded.
"Because she is! Now don't ask questions! I need to get off an Explosion today!" Megumin snarled.
What's eating her? Kazuma wondered, and glanced over at the silent Yunyun, who was meekly walking alongside the irate Megumin. They'd done quests with her before, but usually Megumin insisted that the party was only big enough for one Archmage. Well, whatever. Maybe a quest could help exorcize some of Kazuma's troubles.
Unfortunately, Yunyun was not only extremely capable, but she seemed to have a great deal of frustration to work out, more than usual. And, with Megumin also blowing up a huge portion of the One Punch Bears with her Explosion, Kazuma barely got to do anything. Even Darkness looked vaguely disappointed at the end of the quest.
"That was over far too quickly…" Darkness muttered, kicking a rock on their way back. "None of the bears even savaged me."
"Well at least we'll get paid," Kazuma said with a shrug. He didn't even have to carry Megumin back, as she insisted that Yunyun provide that service.
When they arrived back at the guild, Kazuma looked around, feeling slightly embarrassed. No one seemed to be staring at him though, and he prayed that no one realized who "Kazuko" had been. Had he really come up with such a lame pseudonym?
"Welcome! We're glad to…oh," Luna paused at seeing which party had just come in, and Kazuma attempted to hide behind Darkness. "I see…I suppose you've heard then…"
"Heard that? We've been questing all day," Darkness said, half turning to frown at Kazuma. "What did you do?"
"Well, it's Mitsurugi, mostly. Though I suppose Kazuma is involved," Luna sighed.
Sweat began to trickle down Kazuma's forehead, but all three of his party members blinked. "Who?"
"S-sir Mitsurugi?" Yunyun said, shifting Megumin on her back. "Y-you know, the foreign knight?"
"That sounds familiar, but I just can't recall," Aqua said, scratching her head.
"We didn't do anything, I swear!" Kazuma blurted. "Nothing happened!"
Luna arched an eyebrow. "Well, him I knew about, but with the way you act, Kazuma…well, I suppose sometimes people act out to hide things…"
"Hide things?" Darkness asked, frowning. "Wait, isn't that the man who's sword Kazuma stole and pawned?"
"LOOK, WE DIDN'T DO ANYTHING!" Kazuma half shouted, backing away from Luna.
Luna gave Kazuma a very odd look. "I didn't say you did. But, based on what Mitsurugi said, and how you're acting…"
"Kazuma, what did you do?" Aqua demanded, planting her hands on her hips. "I swear, if you did something perverted…"
Kazuma couldn't speak, his throat was so dry. His face was flaming hot, and he slowly backed away from his party, who all eyed him suspiciously.
Except for one. Megumin slid down off Yunyun's back, and stumbled over to Kazuma. She spun around and spread her arms wide. "Back off! If love has bloomed between Kazuma and Mitsubishi, that is their own affair! He may be a perverted layabout, but Kazuma is our friend, and we shouldn't betray him!"
Kazuma was so shocked he nearly forgot to breathe as he gaped at Megumin. Yunyun came over to stand by her, but Megumin hissed something at her rival and Yunyun blushed and blacked off slightly.
Before Kazuma could try and figure out what was going on, the door behind him slammed open, and Mitsurugi stumbled in. His normally perfectly coiffed hair was disheveled, his armor a bit askew, and his eyes wild. He spied Kazuma, and strode forward.
Kazuma wilted back, imagining what it had been like bathing with Mitsurugi, kissing him, bathing with him…nothing really HAD happened, right?
But then that brought up memories of when something very certainly HAD happened, only with Cecily, and Kazuma didn't know how he felt.
"There you are," Mitsurugi slurred, his eyes managing to focus on Kazuma. Mitsurugi's breath stank of whiskey, and his stance wasn't steady. "I…I have something to say…"
Kazuma could only stare in horror as Mitsurugi approached him. Was he going to attack Kazuma for telling everyone he was gay? Especially after Kazuma had nearly-
Misturugi picked Kazuma up, roughly planted his lips on Kazuma, and stuck his tongue in Kazuma's mouth. Kazuma froze, unable to think. After only a few moments, Mitsurugi set him down, then turned to the astonished assembly. "Yes, it's true! I AM gay, and I love Kazuma Sato! And damn you all to hell!"
Mitsurugi turned to Aqua, his eyes pained. "Lady Aqua, I…I am sorry…I…I have betrayed the gift you have given me…"
"Oh Kyouya…I tried to tell you," Aqua said. She stepped forward, and hugged the astonished drunkard. "All love is good. In the Axis Cult, we don't judge. Celebrate your love."
"You…you mean it?" Mitsurugi gasped. He turned back to Kazuma, eyes wet with tears. "Then…then do you?"
"Yes, Kazuma, do it!" Megumin hissed, and pushed him forward. Then she smiled at Yunyun for some weird reason.
Kazuma looked around. Everyone was staring at him. Including, he saw, a very excited Cecily, who was giving him two big thumbs up.
"NO!" Kazuma gasped. "I'm not- I just…what happened last night…it was an accident!"
No sooner was it out of his mouth, then Kazuma realized he had said exactly the wrong thing. Mitsurugi looked confused, then hurt, then angry. Most of the others looked shocked or puzzled.
But Luna sighed and put her head in her hands. "Oh, of course."
"I'M NOT GAY!" Kazuma shouted, then turned around and ran straight out the door as fast as he could. He had to push past one of Mitsurugi's hangers on, who was crying. It was the one with red hair, and Kazuma couldn't remember if she was Clemea or Fio. Nor did he particularly care at that particular moment.
Before long, Kazuma found himself back at the mansion, digging furiously in the garden. He wasn't certain WHAT he was going to do with that stupid belt, but he was both angry, afraid, and slightly turned on. He REMEMBERED how he'd felt as a woman with Mitsurugi, and a large part of him had enjoyed it! He had to get out of this, somehow! He liked girls, dammit!
Kazuma got the belt out, wiping the mud and dirt away, and holding it up in the fading light, breathing hard. Just what was he going to do?
"So. Not gay, hmmmm?"
Kazuma looked up and blushed to find Cecily leaning down over him. She was wearing her habit, which meant she was covered head to toe, but the look in her eyes…it frightened Kazuma. And turned him on.
"No! I-I'm a guy, and I like girls, so…" Kazuma trailed off as Cecily plucked the belt out of his hands.
"Hmph. Well, I can tell you that I am gay, thank you very much. Oh, sure, I'll probably have to marry a guy someday if I want a cushy retirement, but that's just a con, you know? And what you did to Mitsurugi…Lady Aqua might approve of one night stands and experimentation, I certainly do too! But outing a guy because he wouldn't bang girl you? Dick move, Kazutrash. Dick move."
"I didn't do it because he wouldn't sleep with me!" Kazuma snapped, then went pale. "I was just…mad. He…he made me feel…unwanted. Unloved…none of my party members will sleep with me…and well…neither would a guy when I was a girl…"
"Well, that's because Aqua's a goddess, and they don't have sex. Which is too bad, because she's a cutie, even if she's a little old for me! And, well, Megumin and Yunyun are obviously lovers. And no offense Kazuma, but you're not enough of a dom for Darkness. She needs someone who'll throw her around," Cecily said dismissively.
"WHAT?!" Kazuma sprang out, shocked and a bit outraged. "Megumin and Yunyun aren't-"
"I saw them the night you went with Mitsurugi. They were swapping spit and maybe a bit more behind the stables. I've known them for a while: Yunyun's been carrying a torch for Megumin since they were kids. Amazing what people will tell you in confession! As for Megumin, she's just finally figured out who she is," Cecily said with a shrug.
"But, what, how…I don't-" Kazuma felt both dazed and confused.
"Of course, now Megumin wants to murder you, because she thinks you betrayed her. I hear she knows spells besides Explosion now, but I'd watch out! I hear she defeated a Dark Goddess," Ceciy laughed.
"I…I don't…" Kazuma's head swam. He reached out and jerked the belt out of Cecily's hands. "Give me that!"
"Really? Thought you didn't want it? I know someone who does~!" Cecily half sang, grinning at Kazuma.
"You…you don't plan on turning into a guy…and…you know…?" Kazuma blushed, not certain how he felt about that…
"Hmm, I might try it once or twice! But no. I sense a conversion opportunity! And it's up to me to spread the good word of our Lady Aqua!"
Then Cecily leaned in close to Kazuma. "Look, I know you feel rejected. But remember this: if you ever want some lovin', your Big Sis Cecily is happy to help you put the belt on, and make all your troubles wash away!"
"You…I don't…" Kazuma took the belt and stalked into the mansion, leaving Cecily in the garden. He went to his room, threw the belt onto his dresser, and stripped. He was a man, dammit!
But…he just couldn't get it up. He kept thinking of Mitsurugi, not just of what it had felt like in his arms as Kazuko, but when he'd been kissed…no! He wasn't!
And…he couldn't help thinking of Cecily as well. She really was beautiful. And how she'd made Kazuma feel…
He heard someone coming home, and he immediately activated lurk. He snuck out, to find that it was Megumin, Yunyun, and Aqua.
"-huge jerk!" Megumin was ranting. "Poor Mitsurugi won't be able to show his face in Axel again!"
"Um, I thought you didn't like him…" Yunyun said in half a whisper.
"I don't! He's a stuck up prick! So he and Scumzuma are PERFECT for one another as far as I'm concerned," Megumin grumbled.
"O-oh. Um, and…and…" Yunyun trailed off, looking frightened.
Aqua came over and drew Megumin and Yunyun together. "As the teachings of the Axis Cult say: All love is good. Even if you're into yuri."
"Do…do you mean it?" Megumin asked, sounding nervous.
Aqua nodded seriously. "Of course! And, as the goddess of Water, I am happy to bless your union! I'll even make a special exception, and let you have kids!"
Both Crimson Demons blinked, then looked at one another. "Wait, are you really…?"
"Yes." Aqua kissed their foreheads. "Now, go have fun. I know you mortals enjoy it! And, I'll make sure to watch over your children!"
Megumin suddenly grabbed Yunyun and pulled her into a kiss. Kazuma didn't stick around further.
He went back to his room, and put on the belt.
Half an hour of sneaking later, Kazuma returned to the Axis shrine. He found Cecily setting a rickety old table for dinner for two.
"A-ha! I figured you'd show up. Kazuko," Cecily laughed. "Come on, let's eat! I'm hungry."
"Er…ok," Kazuma said, and sat down, fidgeting nervously. Cecily set a bowl of stew and some bread in front of her, then kissed Kazuma on the back of her neck, which sent tingles down her spine.
"Mmm. You smell good…I know what I'm having for dessert…"
Kazuma ate quickly, barely tasting the bread and stew. Cecily ate with quite an appetite as well, grinning and winking. "Bread's from the Eris Church!"
"Oh, they're helping you move in?" Kazuma asked, trying to think of what to say.
"Nah, swiped it! Stole it fresh out of the oven! I gave most of it away in the name of Lady Aqua! That way, people will know she's way better than those Erisite Chumps!" Cecily laughed.
Kazuma blinked, but she was young, horny, and infatuated, so she giggled nervously and managed a smile.
After dinner, Cecily stood and yawned, stretching. "Ah, I'm tired. Time for bed. Care to join me?"
"Do…do you…love me?" Kazuma asked, standing to go over to Cecily.
Cecily responded by pulling Kazuma into a kiss. Unlike the one Mitsurugi had given, this one was far more pleasant, and much more enjoyable for Kazuma. She molded herself to Cecily.
"All love is beloved in the sight of Lady Aqua," Cecily said, cupping Kazuma's chin. Then she led her to bed.
The first time that night was wild and frantic, with Kazuma clutching and Cecily and gasping and crying out as waves of pleasure and passion washed over her. When they were done, Cecily led Kazuma to the bath, where they washed one another in the moonlight.
"So, you, um…know about Aqua…" Kazuma said as she scrubbed Cecily's back.
"Yep! We figured out that something was up when our prayers started getting answered in weird ways, even more than usual! A bunch of us noticed a strong holy presence, one that was attracting both good and evil! I came to investigate, and as soon as I saw her, I knew it! Lady Aqua was here, in the flesh!" Cecily laughed.
"And do you, er…know how she got here?" Kazuma asked.
"Well, Lady Aqua has sent us heroes in the past…so…are you a hero from Another World?" Cecily turned around, taking Kazuma's hands in hers, then pulling her in close.
"I…I chose her as my bonus," Kazuma admitted. "You're not…mad?"
"Mad? Why would I be?! This is great! Lady Aqua loves us so much, she came to save us from the Devil King herself!"
Kazuma nodded, then, nervously, tilted her head up, standing on her tiptoes to kiss Cecily. She found her advances welcomed very enthusiastically, and was emboldened. She reached up to cup one of Cecily's breasts, the other down, and began to try something she'd noticed Cecily liked.
They had to clean themselves again afterwords, and Cecily led Kazuma back to the bed, where they slept in one another's arms.
Kazuma woke up to Cecily's hand between her legs, and responded in kind. Cecily showed her new ways that women could pleasure each other, grinding their hips together until they were both very satisfied.
Then Kazuma cooked them breakfast. There wasn't much, just some eggs and leftover bread, but it was enough.
"Mmm, I haven't had so much fun in a long time," Cecily said, stretching her back after she'd finished her meal and smiling at Kazuma. "So. Still think you're not gay?"
"I…I don't…" Kazuma swallowed. "I'm not sure…I've never been with a girl as…as a guy…"
"I figured you were a virgin! Well, I cured you of that, didn't I? Don't sweat it, most guys are really bad at this. Trust me, I've had a few cons go wrong, and sometimes, you just have to let your mark think he's amazing and put up with it. Then steal his wallet while he's sleeping and slip away!"
"That's…er…" Kazuma blinked. "Are you a Priestess, or a Thief?"
"Priestess, of course! But that's my class, not my profession!" Cecily laughed.
"So, is Aqua just the goddess of hucksters?" Kazuma asked, feeling a bit exasperated.
"Of course! She picked you, didn't she?" Cecily teased.
"More like I picked her," Kazuma grumbled. She looked down at the belt, and felt a knot in her stomach. "I guess…this is the part where you have to take this off again…"
"Says who?" Cecily said with a raised eyebrow.
Panic rose in Kazuma. "But you can't just leave me like-"
"Why not? I like you better this way! But, no, I'm not helping you turn back."
"Why, because you love me?" Kazuma asked, heart suddenly pounding.
"Hmm, maybe. But, mostly: you need to apologize to Mitsurugi. I don't know how things are in the Other World, but in Belzerg, if they catch you sleeping with someone with the same junk as you, you're disowned and sent to a convent. Which, you know, is pretty dumb. I mean, convents are full of beautiful young women! And some of them were also sent there because they embarrassed their families for sleeping with other girls! And then you both run off from the stupid Eris Convent to Alcanretia, join the Axis Cult, and here we are!"
The tide of words washed over Kazuma, and she blinked. "And…what happened to the other girl?"
"Hmm? Oh, she got lucky and married a rich merchant. Has two kids! And a very pretty nanny! And a cook too. Plus, her husband is gone most of the time. Truly, Tressa is who we should all seek to emulate in our lives," Cecily said, smiling and looking off into the distance.
"Wait…so your goal…is to have a yuri harem?" Kazuma asked slowly.
Cecily laughed. "Of course! To be pampered by a rich husband, and be surrounded by cute girls all day! But, enough about me! What are YOU going to do?"
Kazuma hesitated, swallowing. "But, if I apologize to Mitsurugi…everyone will know…"
"Know what?" Cecily prompted, stepping forward, thrusting her breasts towards Kazuma's face, and cocking her hips suggestively.
"That…that I…" Kazuma licked her lips. "That I…I'm Kazuko…"
"And is that such a bad thing? After all…" Cecily ran a finger down Kazuma's sternum and over her belly button, making her shiver. "Kazuko's the one who gets to be pampered by a beautiful Axis Priestess every night…"
Suddenly, confessing all of her sins seemed like a much better idea to Kazuma, for much the same reasons that putting the belt back on had seemed like a good idea in the first place.
"I…I don't know…what if everyone rejects me, just like Mitsurugi did?" Kazuma blurted, tears forming in her eyes.
Cecily pulled Kazuma into a hug, squeezing her tight, but not speaking.
"Everyone always rejects me," Kazuma blubbered. "My parents laughed at me as I died! People at my school mocked me! The girl I confessed to told me to get lost! Megumin chose Yunyun, and Darkness is going out with Taylor! Everyone always abandons me!"
"Aqua never did, and never will," Cecily said gently. "For all love is good in the Axis Cult. We accept you as you are. We love you for who you are, no matter what that is. Simply praise the name of Aqua, and all will be well."
Cecily handed Kazuma an Axis Cult sign up sheet, pressing a pen into her hands. "You are Aqua's chosen, Kazuma. Help bring her light to the world, and join the brothers and sisters who will always be with you."
Through tears, Kazuma signed the Axis Cult document. It flashed into blue light in her hands, and she gasped. She was even MORE surprised when from that blue light, Aqua stepped forward.
"I knew you cared about me!" Aqua laughed, jumping forward and wrapping Kazuma in a hug. She appeared to step out of nowhere, as if the signing of the document had summoned her. "I knew you were bestest bud, Kazuma, and- wait."
Blushing, Kazuma stepped back, trying to hide just what had happened to her despite wearing only a thin blue robe that Cecily had given her.
"Kazuma…you're… a girl?" Aqua asked, frowning slightly. "Wait, how'd that happen?"
"I, er, well, this belt, it was an accident!" Kazuma babbled, backing away until she bumped into Cecily.
Cecily, however, hugged her from behind, smiling wickedly. "I recruited her, Lady Aqua! The Other Worlder who brought you to this world! And, of course, I helped her realize that she's better off as a super cute girl, instead of a boring old guy."
Kazuma waited, fearing the rage at her perversion, or worse, mockery and rejection from Aqua. Instead, Aqua stepped forward and kissed Kazuma on the forehead.
"All love is good in my sight, Kazuma. Why didn't you tell me you wanted to be a girl? I could have fixed that! Girls are way better, anyway. You can totally be one of my priestesses! Cecily is great! She's super loyal to me, and always sticks it to Eris' dumb followers! You two will make a great couple!"
"Yes! Thank you, Lady Aqua," Cecily cried, and stepped to the side to kneel before Aqua. "I always remember your sacred words: 'The Goddess Eris Pads her chest.'"
"Indeed," Aqua sniffed. "Now rise, my daughter. Go forth, and tell the world that I'm totally awesome!"
"We will, right after Kazuma apologizes to Mitsurugi," Cecily said firmly.
Aqua blinked. "Who?"
"You know, that arrogant prick? Big sword?" Cecily asked.
Aqua thought for a moment, then snapped her fingers. "Oh right, Matsibotta! Why, what'd Kazuma do? Wait, if she's Kazuko…I mean, I don't care if you slept with Mannitoba, Kazuma. You can have one night stands, it's OK."
"I didn't sleep with Matsubishi!" Kazuma snapped. Then she hesitated. "Um, mostly because he's gay…I think I would have done it…I was pretty drunk…and being a girl…um, it changed things for me, a little."
"Well, you're just open to more experiences now. Try it at least once, you might like it!" Cecily encouraged. "But, outing someone as gay is totally not cool, especially not in front of their friends. So, you need to apologize."
Kazuma deflated, but nodded. Then Cecily gave her a gleeful side hug.
"Plus, if we play this right, we can get two new recruits! You'll get credit for at least one, of course, and we'll bring glory to the good name of Aqua AND stick it to those stupid prudes!"
Before Kazuma knew it, she was dressed in the robes of an Axis Priestess, and taken formal vows before Aqua. She had the stats to do a class change, and Aqua was happy to induct her as an official Priestess of the Axis cult. Her adventurer card now read "Level 10 Adventurer, Level 1 Priestess."
Then it was off to the Adventurers guild. Everyone looked up at Kazuma when she entered with Cecily and Aqua, and most of the turned away or hid their faces. Yunyun and Megumin were there in the back with Darkness and Taylor, all of them apparently celebrating. And, of course, Mitsurugi was there, sitting all alone in a corner. The green haired girl was off with another party, but the redhead was sitting one table over from Mitsurugi and looking despondent.
"Everyone, Kazuma has an announcement to make!" Aqua said loudly, using one of her party tricks to amplify her voice.
That made most of the adventurers look confused, and Kazuma felt a pit in her stomach open up. But then Cecily squeezed her hand and smiled at her, and courage (or perhaps just lust) filled Kazuma's heart.
"I…I wanted to apologize…to Sir Mitsurgui," Kazuma stammered. "I…I was upset that…um….I wasn't good enough for him…and I shouldn't have told everyone his secret…"
There was dead silence for a moment, and then Yunyun began furiously clapping and stood. A moment later, Megumin stood up, blushing and golf clapping. Darkness stood and solemnly clapped as well, though she did look a bit perplexed.
However, no one else did, and a somewhat drunk Dust shouted, "Wait, she said Kazuma, aren't you Kazuko?"
"S-shut up," Misturugi slurred. He stumbled over, looking even more disheveled than before. "I…I'm sh-orry, Kazuko. B-but you shouldn't…shouldn't apologize…I…I'm happier now…really. I'm just shad…shad that the man…I *hic* love…doshn't love me…"
Kazuma took a deep breath. "That's because…I'm not a man anymore…I'm… a girl. A-and I love Cecily. And Lady Aqua! Who supports you no matter WHO you love, and is best goddess!"
There was a gasp from Chris the Thief, who looked suddenly mortified. "But Eris doesn't care if you're gay! That was a stupid order from an old Arch Priest and she's trying really hard to-"
"W-wait…You're…Kashuma?" Mitsurugi interrupted, peering at Kazuko's face. He jerked back, stunned. "But…if…if I'd know…why…why didn't you jusht turn ME into a girl? I'd…I'd have…done you…"
Kazuma blinked. That had been an option?
"Because I love girls, and Kazuma loves me! Don't you, Kazuma?" Cecily asked, spinning Kazuma towards her.
Kazuma could only nod, then they embraced and kissed. Something warm filled Kazuma, and she decided she never wanted to go back to being a boy.
*KLANG*
Something slipped from Kazuma's hips, and she looked down to see the belt had fallen off, the pink venus symbol was now gone, leaving only a dull Mars Symbol. She blinked at it, confused.
"Give it to Fio!" Cecily hissed in her ear.
"Huh?" Kazuma was still a bit dazed, and not sure what was going on.
"Give it to Fio! Tell her she can have it if she joins the Axis Cult!" Cecily urged, and gave Kazuma a sign up paper.
Not really sure what was going on, Kazuma took the belt and held it out with the paper to Fio. "Er, if you join the Axis Cult, you can have this belt that will turn you into…I'm pretty sure a boy."
Fio instantly snatched up the paper and signed it. It also flashed to blue, and Chris let out a cry of pain at the same time Aqua said, "I LOVE YOU FIO!"
Then Fio put on the belt. Her clothes ripped, and a moment later, a hunky young man with red hair stood there. He hurried over to Mitsurgui, and said, "I always loved you, Sir Mitsurugi. And now, you can love me…"
"F-Fio?" Misturugi asked. Then he kissed him.
There was silence for a moment. Then, one of the Adventurers shouted, "THE AXIS CULT ARE CURSING EVERYONE AGAIN! IT'S THAT THING WITH THE CATS ALL OVER AGAIN! GET THEM!"
Thankfully, with some well timed magic from Yunyun and Megumin, the Axis Cult was able to flee Axel before they could be strung up.
Megumin, Yunyun, Darkness, and Aqua ended up leaving to defeat the Devil King. Kazuma, as a newly minted Axis Priestess, stayed with Cecily in Alcanrettia, where for four years, they had a tempestuous relationship. There were indeed other girls, as Cecily said she wanted an "open relationship" and at least at first, Kazuma was OK with it, as it meant she got to ply her perversion on more people.
Cecily ended up exploiting Kazuma's con artist skills along with her own, and, after a visit to Elroad where they were chased out of town for both spreading "Axis Heresy" and nearly robbing the casino blind. They ended up in a port town, where Kazuma woke up one morning to find Cecily packed.
"Happy birthday!" Cecily said, and gave Kazuma a cupcake with a "20" written on it.
"Er, thanks? Where are you going?" Kazuma asked.
"Well, I'm afraid you're just too old for me now, Kazuma. All good things must come to an end. I'm going to spread the light of Lady Aqua elsewhere! And probably build my own convent, where I'll have plenty of cute girls for the rest of my life," Cecily said, picking up her luggage, and her half of the billion Eris they'd made off with.
"WHAT?! But…but I love you!" Kazuma gasped. "I thought…you loved me! And would never abandon me!"
"And it was a great line to convince you to join the Axis Cult! We had fun, but I'm into younger women. You've been pushing it for a couple years now, but twenty is just too old. Don't worry, you're rich, and still cute! I'm sure you'll have good luck!"
And then Cecily was gone.
Kazuma cried for several hours, then knelt beside her bed. "Lady Aqua…surely…surely you'll never abandon me…please…give me a sign…what should I do?"
A moment later, a letter appeared on her bed, and Kazuma picked it up hastily.
Dear Best Bud,
Cecily was always a lolicon, didn't you notice? You're Japanese, so you're short and look younger than your age, so she was into that for a while. I figured a pervert like you would realize that. Oh well!
I'm still in Axel, we haven't managed to defeat the Devil King yet. Come and join our party, we've missed you!
Your best friend and goddess,
Lady Aqua
PS:
Darkness is single, Taylor was way too nice of a guy for her. And I bet she's open to Yurification! Unless you want to be a guy again.
Kazuma thought about it all the way back to Axel. Did she want to go back to being a guy, now that Cecily was gone? Not really…she rather liked being a girl now. She would never have chosen this path, but once the belt was on…you were pretty OK with what you became after a little while.
Back in Axel, Kazuma found her old party in the same mansion. They held a big party for her, and she had never felt so loved and accepted. She never should have left, chasing after Cecily, trying to be things she wasn't.
Yunyun and Megumin had a daughter, who they had named Asmorandiadalmgsakndg. But everyone called her Asmora. As to which was the "father," Kazuma decided she didn't quite care.
At the end of the night, Kazuma found herself with Darkness, who was dressed in an orange evening gown that complimented her colors well.
"You know, I…I have missed you, Kazuma," Darkness said, giving her a shy smile. "And, um, not just…our…sessions…"
Kazuma considered it, then slid closer to Darkness. "You know, I've missed you too. But, I'm not a man anymore. Though…I did learn about some new toys with Cecily. Want to play?"
"I've waited for years for you to say that, Kazuma," Darkness moaned.
"Call me Mistress when we're alone."
"Yes, Mistress!"
"Now, just sign this paper, and we'll be together in love with Aqua forever."
"Um…yes, mistress?"
Outside the mansion, Vanir glared at Aqua. "Moi is most upset with the, meddling goddess! This was supposed to be a route with a bad ending!"
"Those make me sad!" Aqua snapped, shaking a finger under the demon's nose. "And everyone got mad about the harem and sock route!"
"But it's the 'Cecily' route, and the foolish girl is not even ending with Cecily! Nor is the perverse crusader into women in the original script!
"Yeah, well, suck it! Darkness is happy, Kazuma is happy, and Cecily gets a convent full of girls to recruit to the Axis Cult! I call this a happy ending!"
Vanir considered this. "An ending where more girls join thy idiot ranks? Truly, this is this worst timeline.
Aqua snarled and attacked the demon, drowning out the cries of pleasure from Darkness inside.
