What's up my readers!

I'm back!

Exams suck.

Anyway, here Is chapter 6!

Chapter 6

And so, my adventure begins!

...Not.

Once we returned, I went straight back to my room and started to test out my ability.

And after a few days, I got my results.

Firstly to create anything, I must think of the object and all of its components. When I created an apple by only imagining the outside, only the skin appeared. For me to create an edible apple, I had to imagine it's inside and outside.

The range of my ability is 2 metres away from my hand. So I can create something on my hand, or 2 metres away from my hand.

The bigger the object, the harder it is to create. When I tried to create a human-sized Waifu figurine. I was hit with a massive thumping headache, and I fainted.

Never trying that again.

With these in mind, I began making my business empire.

Computer parts weren't hard to make, and after a few failed attempts, I got the hang of it.

Anime figurines were quite easy to make, and after filling up my room with them, I created a few super rare extras.

I thought I was really smart. But then I was struck with another "eureka" moment.

Couldn't I just create the money?

Wait.

Couldn't I just create anything I needed?

And so I did.

I was set for life!

I called my parents and told them that I didn't need them to send money anymore.

I no longer even need to leave my house, as I can create food instantly! I can finally become a true Hikikomori!

Where was Aqua, you ask?

Well.

"EAT LEAD, JACKASS! THAT'S WHAT YOU GET FOR CAMPING IN THE TOWER!"

Aqua was on my computer playing Call of Duty. When we came back, I taught her how to play to keep her busy while I was doing my experiments. At first, she felt like I was disrespecting her ("Huh? You think I'm like you? I'm the mighty Aqua-sama! Video games are dumb!") and complained of a squiddy smell. I sprayed perfume to get rid of it.

Now, she is full-on addicted to the game.

"HAAAAAAAAAHHHHH?! HOW DARE YOU CALL THE GREAT AQUA-SAMA TERRIBLE?"

She was screaming into my headphones. It was quite amusing to watch, to be honest.

"I'LL HAVE YOU KNOW, I HAVE 4.7KD RATIO! WITH ALL THE BEST SKINS AND GUNS!"

Has she even slept since I taught her the game? I had created a few Energy Drinks for her but they were all empty on the floor.

She's actually decent at the game. I watch her double jump against the wall and slam into an enemy. She especially likes melee combat.

I guess I'll leave her to it.

This all we have done the past week

I created stuff, while Aqua became a gamer.

Life is great.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

Oh, boy, what was Aqua screaming about now?

Did she get killed or something?

Aqua spun on her chair to face me.

"I've almost forgotten my original goal! Kazuma, when are we going to hunt monsters?"

Oh yeah. Monster extermination. I had forgotten about that.

To be honest, I had no intentions of searching and fighting monsters and demons. And I thought Aqua had forgotten too. Tch.

"Hey Aqua, do we have to exterminate monsters and demons?"

She looked at me with disdain. Ouch.

"Yes! Only when all monsters and demons have been exterminated, can I go back to heaven!"

"But how do we find them? It'll be just a waste of time if we go out searching, as I don't think they'll reveal themselves."

"Well, as a Goddess, I can sense them!"

I don't think a real Goddess would be playing Call of Duty and screaming at nine-year-olds through headphones, but whatever.

"How do you sense them?"

Aqua pointed to her hair. Specifically, a hairpin.

"Eris gave me this hairpin. Apparently, its eyes start to glow red when it senses a monster."

The hairpin was a cartoonish skull with two massive black eyes.

"And? How far can it sense?"

"I dunno, just like the nearby vicinity?"

"And is it glowing red?"

"Well, no."

"Exactly! If it hasn't sensed any, then why bother going out to look for them? Better wait until it senses one, no?"

"Well… I suppose that's true…"

Yes! Just a little more push!

"And why do you want to return so quickly, anyway? In Heaven, there are no video games, wifi, or computers! And I bet there is no tasty food either! So why don't you spend as much time here?"

Aqua nodded in agreement.

"I guess you are right. But all I've seen is your ugly house and all I've eaten is cup ramen, so you better show me around later!"

She spun around and went back to her game.

Score! I relax and jump on my bed. I must be the luckiest guy in the world. Nothing can go wrong now! I close my eyes and-

"Kazuma."

"Yes, Aqua?"

"My hairpins glowing red."

"...What?"

I looked over, and sure enough, a little red glow was being emitted from the hairpin.

Maybe I shouldn't have opened my big mouth.

"Let's waste no time, Kazuma. Come on, let's go!"

Aqua jumps up from the chair and falls flat on her face.

"My legs… I can't feel them…"

"Well yeah, you sat there for three days with no movement."

She attempts to get up again but falls again.

Huh. Just like my life.

"Kazuma… help me please…"

I sigh and help her up.

Since when did I allow her to call me Kazuma? Oh well, I guess it doesn't matter.

Once Aqua could feel her legs again, I grabbed Murasame and we set out.

To be honest, I still wasn't too completely on board with this idea of fighting monsters. Especially since Murasame felt so foreign in my hands. It almost feels like it hasn't accepted me….

And my other ability is very passive, not very useful in actual combat. Will I be okay?

Whatever. I shake off my worries and turn to Aqua.

"So… how will the hairpin lead us to the monster?"

"The brighter it is, the closer the monster."

Passerbys began to stare at us. I mean, you can't blame them. With Aqua in her Goddess clothes again, and me with my katana, we stood out a lot.

It was slightly embarrassing.

The hairpin was now glowing very brightly. Aqua smiled and smashed it into the ground.

"Aqua, what did you do-"

A red mist was released from the pin. It covered the entire local area.

I look around.

Huh?

Everyone apart from us was gone!

I turn to Aqua for an explanation.

"Aqua, what the hell did you do?"

Aqua picked the hairpin and put it back into her hair.

"The mist forms a little area for us to deal with the monster. The mist traps anything supernatural. The natural is pushed out of the mist. Time is stopped outside the mist, so when the mist retreats back into the pin, the natural are put back where they came from."

What a horrible plot device. Who came up with this?

I unsheath Murasame and assume battle position. I still feel uncomfortable wielding it, and I could feel it's curse emitting from the blade.

Aqua starts to walk down the road. I follow. I was extremely nervous.

"Hey Aqua, what monster will I be fighting?"

My nervousness must have shown through my shaking voice, as Aqua looked at me with a very smug face.

"What, you scared?"

"N-no! I just want to know!"

"Well, that's what you'll be fighting."

Aqua stop, and points to the sewer opening. Out crawls… is that a child? No! That green skin, short figure, a loincloth, ugly face, no doubt that's a-

"A goblin, Kazuma. I guess we start off easy."

I sigh in relief. I had expected much worse. In video games, a goblin was usually the weakest mob, the tutorial monster you beat. This should be no problem-

More start to crawl out. With what looks like stone axes and swords.

Oh no.

In total, ten goblins stood in front of me. And they did not look friendly.

Aqua yawned and stretched. Understandable, she hadn't slept for a few days- wait why was she so unconcerned with the current situation?

"Good luck, Kazuma. I'm only good against the undead, so this will all be up to you. I'm going to take a nap. Wake me up when it's over, okay?"

What the hell?!

I could only stare in disbelief as she casually walked back to my house.

Wasn't she going to help me? What a useless Goddess!

I turn back to face the goblins.

They seemed to be wary of my blade and were staying away for now.

What was I supposed to do? How do I fight? Do I go for the first shot? How do I swing the sword?

So many questions were racing in my head. My heart was racing.

And so, we stood there, waiting.

Screw it. I'll go first. I hope Goblin Slayer is watching over me.

"YAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"

I rush at the nearest goblin, and I swing my blade at it. Surprised, It raised it's stone sword to try to deflect, but I cut straight through.

Blood is sent spraying everywhere. The goblin screeched in pain.

I was still too far away, so my blade hadn't cut any organs. Clutching it's wound, It ran away to the other goblins, clearly relieved at surviving.

But that didn't matter.

Seeping from the wound, the black curse was spreading. Soon, the goblin was completely covered in the curse and collapsed.

My hands were shaking.

I had just killed.

I could feel the adrenaline pumping.

The other goblins, seeing their dead comrade, started to scream. Swinging their weapons, they all rush me at once.

Uh oh. What was I supposed to do now?

I grip my blade tightly, and I gulp. I take another deep breath.

Whatever! I'll just yolo it!

"YAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH"

With a battle cry, I once more rush the goblins, swinging my sword.

I dash! I jump! I swing!

I cut down six more goblins just like before. A little cut is all it takes.

This is pretty easy- AAAAHHHH!

I suddenly feel a sharp, burning pain in my back.

I swing around and kick the living daylights out of the goblin that was behind me.

The little bastard has stabbed me in the back!

I stab it with my sword, killing it.

I then turn to the last two goblins.

Their previous ferocity has all been lost now, replaced with fear.

One runs away, and another attacks me.

I slash the goblin attacking first, and then throw my sword at the goblin that was running away.

Luckily, I hit my target. The goblin collapses, and the black curse consumes it.

And that was it.

I had done it.

My first monster extermination!

I breathe in relief.

"Oh, done already?"

I turn around to see Aqua standing there.

Seeing her got me pissed. Why didn't she help me?

I was about to give her a piece of my mind, but I couldn't open my mouth to talk for some reason.

Aqua tilted her head at me curiously.

"You okay, Kazuma? You don't look too good, and you are sweating a lot."

I'm sweating a lot? Why?

Ah, right. I'm a guy who spent his whole life inside without exercising.

I'm very unfit.

With my adrenaline over, there wasn't anything keeping me going.

"Kazuma! You are wounded! How did that happen?"

Why did I feel a throbbing in my head? And why was the world spinning?

My knees give way and I fell forward…

Kazuma isn't dead, by the way. He's just fainted.

This was my first ever fight scene that I have written, so hopefully, it'll get better than the road.
