.

Hello guys, here's what I intend to do with the future of the story:

1. The ship will be Gohan and Yunyun, I think an outcast with no friends with a magnet for friends is one cool ship

2: I intend to include Gohan in the movie

3. I don't intend on teaching Kazumas group the concept of ki, aqua might know, since she watches over worlds but that's still arguable

4. I wanna give the devil king dbz villains who will fight more tactical with buffed-up stats, but I don't know who to consider

I hope you guys enjoy this story like how I enjoy writing and coming up with scenarios, ill make Gohan wander around and have more character interactions

"ACHOOO!" sneezed Aqua, it was snowing outside the stables, and as she lit up the fires, she sneezed again

"It's so cold! I pawned my coat too… It's so cold! " Said aqua, the wind then blowing away, the fire going with it, "Wait! No! " Said aqua, "Here, have this," She said as she then put kazumas jumpsuit over the fire

"What do you think you're doing? Don't remove my only memento from Japan! " Said Kazuma, as he hit her in the back of the head

Gohan woke up from the stables when he saw Aqua crying over the put-out fires, which were put out by the wind, "Hey, you guys alright?" Asked a concerned Gohan

"No, we are not! We are dying of this cold! " Said aqua

"Why didn't you say so?" Said Gohan, his hand, then started to shine bright orange, as he formed a ki blast to hear up the surroundings, he then threw the ball into the wood and it created a middle-sized fire, "Here, maybe this will help you" He continued

"Aw, thanks so much Gohan, you're a lifesaver!" sighed a crying Aqua

"No problem! Do you guys want to do a quest or what? We are a bit low on money, currently" said Gohan

"After those snow sprites, I've been terrified of picking up any hard quests ever again!" Said Kazuma, "What I need to do is, learn a new skill. The team's balance is terrible, even if Gohan is strong, it's not guaranteed he'll be here all the time to protect us, so I'll need a new skill" Said Kazuma, as he, aqua and Gohan, started walking to a place

"Yeah, I have a few skill points, learning some new moves wouldn't hurt" Said Gohan

At the shop

"Hey, aqua. Before we enter, you better not throw a fit, got it? " Said Kazuma

"Of course, I won't. Do you think I'm some kind of criminal? An outlaw? I am no child to throw temper tantrums! " Said Aqua, "I am a goddess, a bona fida deity! " She said, Kazuma paid her no heed and entered along with Gohan

"Hey, are you listening?" Said aqua

"Welco- Waaaahhhh?!" Said the shopkeeper

"You need to listen to me mo - Haaaah?! You're that undead, aren't you?! What are you doing here? " Asked aqua, as she grabbed her robe

Gohan looked to see a young, curvaceous woman with fair skin and brown hair that reaches the front of her shoulder, she wears a purple dress with a gambeson hooded robe

"I'm living in the stables, while you opened a shop?! You're getting ahead of yourself, you damn leech! " Said aqua as she grabbed her robe

Kazuma brought out his sword and smashed Aqua's head with the sheath, "Owwww!!" Said aqua

"Oh! Kazuma San! " Said the girl

"Yo, it has been a while, wiz," Said Kazuma

'Wiz? Is that her name? ' Thought Gohan

"Who's that?" Said wiz, as she looked at Gohan, Gohan gave her an awkward wave

"This is a new party member named Gohan, he's super strong!" Said Kazuma

"Hi!" Said an enthusiastic Gohan

"Hello, What job do you do?" Asked wiz

"Me? I'm a warrior" Said Gohan

"A warrior? A weird but not uncommon one. Where's your weapon? " Asked wiz

"Weapon? I guess many would count my hands as weapons, but otherwise, I don't have anything else" Said Gohan

"You don't use a weapon? That's quite unusual, almost everyone here uses weapons. There are barely any barehanded fighters left out there" Said wiz

KONOSUBA!

A pouting aqua could be seen sitting on a table with Gohan also sitting there

"Do you not serve tea as well?" Asked aqua, "Sorry! I'll get it prepared quickly! " Said wiz

A swish could be heard, "Ah!" Yelled out wiz, seemingly in surprise

"She hasn't changed one bit," Said Kazuma

"Who is she?" Asked Gohan, yet to be fully acquainted with her

"She's a leech, she's also known as the ruler of the undead, otherwise 'No-life king' " Said Kazuma

"Undead? Like that Verdia guy? " Asked Gohan

"Yeah, she used to go to graveyards to free the lost souls, but we took that job from her, and she opened a shop here in town," said Kazuma, explaining her job

"Sounds like quite the character," Said Gohan

"An undead like she is an enemy to us gods, so she should be eliminated!" Said aqua

"Could you stop with the enemy of the god's act? Why would gods waste their time with a lich who's living her life" Said Gohan, looking at Aqua with a disappointed look

"No way! Living her life or not, she's an undead! They're like my arch-nemesis! I have to destroy every single one!"

"The tea's ready!" Said wiz as she gave Gohan, aqua, and Kazuma the cups of tea

Gohan takes a sip, "Oh wow! This must be one of the best teas I've ever had! It's comparable to my mother's" Said an amazed Gohan, even though he usually doesn't drink tea, being the son of a princess, he has an underlying appreciation for it

'This tea is good! ' Thought aqua, although she wouldn't admit out loud, she liked an undead's teacup

"This is some great tea wiz! But I've been meaning to ask you if you could teach me a Lich's skill" Said Kazuma, he needed skills

"Now, Hold on! I can't allow a goddess's attendant to learn magic from a Lich! " Said aqua

"Who are you calling an attendant!" Asked Kazuma

"Besides, not many can learn a Lich's skills, so it'll be a useful type of skill to have"

"I can teach you a skill, but all of my skills require… opponents.." said wiz as she started to shy away

"I can volunteer!" Said Gohan as he raised his hand

"Alright ill teach you a skill called drain touch, it allows you to absorb health and mana from others and transports it around" explained wiz

"Woah, that's quite a useful skill you got there! It can come in handy" said Gohan

"Okay, if you excuse me…" said Wiz

"Go ahead!" Said Gohan, he extended his hand, so she can use her skill

As wiz put her hand over Gohan's, a purple light began to appear, and the light is sucking in some small purple particles

Wiz noticed the incredible amount of energy within Gohan, she was not sucking much, yet she feels as if she was the strongest in the world, "Wow… your energy… it's huge!" said a shocked wiz

"I get that a lot, anyway, are you done?" Said Gohan

"y-yeah, the skill should appear in your entry next," Said wiz as she finally calmed down, she didn't absorb a lot of energy, but this boy appears to have crazy reserves of mana

Kazuma tapped drain touch and then tapped their picture, their ids began shining green before calming down

"Neat!" said Gohan, "This is the first skill I learn this way, it still baffles me how easy it is to learn skills, It's extremely convenient" Said Gohan, inspecting his closing and opening fists.

"Okay, that's exactly what I needed." Said Kazuma

"By the way, I heard you guys defeated Verdia," Said wiz

"Yeah? What about it?" Said Gohan

"That's a really hard accomplishment, verdia always had great sword skill, even among the devil king leaders, being beaten by beginners is something I never expected to happen to him" She explained

"You sound like you verdia," Asked Kazuma

"Ah, that's because I was one of the devil kings leaders as well," Said wiz

"What?" Said aqua

Gohan then stood his martial arts stand, wary of another opponent

"Got you!" Shouted aqua as she tackled wiz, "Wait, Aqua Sama! Please listen to what I have to say!" Screamed wiz as she tried to wiggle her way out until she finally gave in

"Phew! I did it Kazuma! With all of this, our debts will be forgiven!" Screamed aqua

"Oi, aqua, at least hear her out," Said Gohan

"Listen, as an adventurer, I obviously cannot overlook you saying you're a devil king army leader," Said Kazuma

"You got it all wrong! I was only asked to maintain the barrier that protects the devil King's castle, of course, I've never harmed anyone, so you won't be getting a reward out of me!" Said, wiz

"I don't get it, but ill eliminate you just in case," Said aqua

"Oi, stop it!" said Gohan

KONOSUBA!

"So you're saying, we can reach the devil king if we break the barrier, and we do that by defeating all his army leaders?" Said Kazuma

"Yes, that's correct! He said he wouldn't stop me from opening a shop and living in human settlements, but he asked that I maintain the barrier as one of his leaders " Said wiz

"Quite generous of him, usually the big bad guy eliminates those who want to leave, looks like even if he's bad, he's a leader," Said Gohan

"Stop complimenting him! Anyway, so as long as you're around, we won't be able to enter the castle? Kazuma, let's eliminate her" said Aqua

"Wait! Please wait!" said wiz, "At least let me live a bit longer! I still have something to do" Said wiz

"Oi, aqua, you gotta relax, lich or not, she's not harming people, so you gotta relax," Said Gohan

"I could easily break a simple barrier, but we have to eliminate her, she's a lich! " Said aqua

"Are you even listening to me right now?" Said Gohan

"even if we break the barrier, it's not like we can beat the devil king, so hang on," Said Kazuma

"Alright fine," Said aqua

"Thank you so much!!" Said, wiz

"But are you okay with this? You don't resent us for killing verdia?" Asked Gohan

"It's not like I knew verdia San that much when I'm walking the halls, he'd sometimes throw his head to look up my skirt," Said wiz

"Well, I guess it's understandable, you are a pretty lady," Said Gohan, before he even realized what he said, wiz was blushing like crazy,

"W-w-well, t-t-thanks," Said wiz, somehow blushing even more

"Wait! I didn't mean it like that!" Said Gohan, with a slight blush, how could he say something like that?!

"Well, looks like Gohan got his way with wiz San" Said Kazuma, with a knowing smirk

"Stop that!" Screamed Gohan, he left to breathe fresh air

"Excuse me… I need miss wiz" Said an old man as he entered the shop

At the mansion

"This is the place?" asked Gohan

"Yes, Yes! This is a place fitting for me!" Said aqua

"This was originally an aristocrats villa, I hear," Said megumin

"Still, the landlord is generous for giving it to us, if we can exorcise it," Said darkness

"I've never been to a mansion before! This is my first time seeing a house so big!" Said Gohan

"You've never seen a mansion? where did you live?" Asked Kazuma

"I used to live in the mountains with my mother and father by the river, if we wanted food, we would go fishing or hunting, if we were thirsty we'd just drink from the river," Said Gohan

"The mountains? That's new" Said megumin

"It's a cool place, I'm not one for the lavish lifestyle, I've grown up with nature, and I've learned to live with the minimal lifestyle," Said Gohan

"Anyway, wiz is known as a popular mage, so she gets a lot of cases like these," said Kazuma

"With this, we can get through the winter with no worry, like they say 'make the best of a bad situation', I did expect nothing less from me," Said aqua

"But the landlord said, the spirits appear no matter how many times exorcised" Kazuma explained the situation

"Isn't she a goddess and an arch-priest, she's like the sworn enemy of undead and evil spirits" Said Gohan

"That's true," Said aqua, she then took a breath and extended her hands out, and a gold light appeared

"Woah!" the group said

Aqua then began to talk about the story of a boy and a maid, with them was born an illegitimate child, the group deadpanned at her story, as they began to walk in

"How do you know the setting so well," Asked kazuma, "It's kinda creepy," Said Gohan

When they went in, megumin took off her black cape, darkness took off her armour and Kazuma took his cape as well, gohan only took off his boots.

"Alright, now that we've settled things down," Said Kazuma as he opened the window, he saw Aqua still explaining the story of the illegitimate child, Gohan laughed at her still waving her arms around

Kazuma then closed the window, "Alright, Everyone's free to do what they want, call out when evil spirits arrive" Said Kazuma

At night time when Gohan was asleep, he woke up because he was hungry, "I am so hungry", He turned around, and when he looked at the mirror, he saw a girl doll starting right back at him

"Um… hi?" Said Gohan as the dolls started surrounding him, "Are you the evil spirits?* Asked Gohan, his stomach rumbled like crazy

"I'm so hungry," Said a sad Gohan, The spirits waved at him, as if wanting to… play? How does one play with spirits?

"You want to play?" Said Gohan, the spirits shook their heads in a yes

While Gohan was thinking about what to play, kazuma barged in, "GOHAN! HELP ME!!!" Said Kazuma, before looking at Gohan, and seeing him surrounded by spirits, "Oh, Hi Kazuma!" Said Gohan, but before anything else could happen, Kazuma ran away like a little girl screaming 'kya' and everything, with spirits following him closely

"Well, I better see what's going on with him, Sorry spirits, but I gotta leave" Said Gohan as the spirits waved at him, and he waved them back

Kazuma was with megumin in Aqua's room, "What are you doing here, megumin?" Asked Kazuma

"Well, I had spirits following me, so I came to Aqua's room for her to exorcise them, and so we can go to the bathroom together" Explained megumin

They all then heard knocking on the door, "Eep!" they both blurted as they hugged each other

"Hey Kazuma, you okay in there? I saw you run away and I came to check on you" Said Gohan

"Oh, it's Gohan" Said megumin, "Lock" She said, she removed the lock on the door, "Come in Gohan, the door is open," Said megumin

Gohan entered the room to a megumin hugging Kazuma, "Did I interrupt you guys or something? I'll leave if you need" Said Gohan

"O-Oi! You scared us alright? We hugged each other in security" Said megumin

"Yep, security" Added kazuma with a nod

"Oh really? Hmm?" Said Gohan as he looked behind megumin and Kazuma, to see more spirits looking through the window

"Why are there so many spirits outside?" Said Gohan as he pointed to the window

Megumin and Kazuma turn around to see spirits staring at them dead in the eyes, "HYAAAAAAA!!" They both screamed as they started running, with Gohan following them, "Oi, why are we running?" Said Gohan

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN WHY ARE WE RUNNING?! I THINK ITS QUITE OBVIOUS!" Screamed Kazuma

"From the spirits? You know they aren't harmful right?" Said Gohan

"Doesn't MATTER, KEEP RUNNING!" Screamed megumin

After a few minutes of running, Kazuma and Gohan were standing in front of the bathroom with Megumin inside, "Kazuma San, are you there?" Said megumin

"Yes I am here," said an irritated Kazuma, as he tried to hold in his pee

"Are you truly here?" She said again

"Yes, I am!" Said Kazuma

"Are you truly, truly here?" She said

"I am! Now hurry up I need to get in!" Said Kazuma

Kazuma and Gohan then looked around a corner and saw the spirits

"Oi… megumin… HURRY! " Said Kazuma

"Oi, I won't finish if you rush me," Said megumin

"I DON'T CARE! IM AT MY LIMIT NOW!" Said Kazuma as he slammed the door open, to a megumin sitting on a toilet

"Are you stupid?!" Said megumin

"Come on! Let's go!" Said Kazuma as he grabbed her and left

"Kazuma! Why would you intrude on a girl taking a bathroom break?!" Said an embarrassed Gohan

"It doesn't matter right now, we need to leave!" Said kazuma, "At least she's halfway done!" He continued

"I knew this would happen, so I brought this," Said megumin as she showed Kazuma a vase, "please use it." She said

"As if I'll use that!" Screamed back Kazuma

They ran until they came by a door, they entered and waited there

"Where do you think darkness is?" Said Gohan

"She's probably with Aqua, regardless of her behaviour, she's still a crusader," Said Kazuma

"But, what's a crusader gonna do to ghosts?" Asked Gohan

Silence fell in the room, 'I didn't think of that '

Megumin started chanting her usual explosion magic, Kazuma then grabbed her mouth, "What are you chanting?! Are you trying to blow the mansion up?" Asked an irritated Kazuma

After that small conversation, a knock on the door was heard, Kazuma and megumin were scared, "Once I open the door, we dash, Got it?" Said Gohan, as both Kazuma and megumin nod

"On 3… 1…. 2… 3!" Said Gohan as he pushed the door, only to hit something physical, "Owwww.." Said aqua as her eyes began to swirl, with a mark on her forehead

"Aqua! Are you okay?" Darkness yelled out

"Oops…. Sorry.." Said Gohan, a bit sheepish

KONOSUBA!

"Since you exorcised the evil spirits, you get a special award, since this was posted as a kill quest, to be honest, even the guild was troubled, we just couldn't handle the number of spirits that stay there" Said luna, as she handed them their rewards, Kazuma and aqua thumbs up at each other

"By the way, where did the spirits come from?" Asked a confused Kazuma

"You don't know? There's a local graveyard nearby, it had a giant barrier in it, Its like someone made it as a prank" Said luna, and then Aqua paused, she started to sweat, and started to shake, Kazuma looked at her, "Excuse me" He told Luna as he pushed Aqua away for a talk

"You look like you know something. Spill it" Said Kazuma

"Yes, you see there were a lot of spirits in the graveyard(uh-uh) and I kept getting tired of going to the graveyard( mhm-mhm) so instead of continuing to go to the graveyard, I created a barrier that sealed off the graveyard… their homes.." explained aqua

"I should've known you had something to do with this…. Listen, we won't accept the guilds rewards for this" Said Kazuma

KONOSUBA!

"I thought it was all aquas delusions, who would've thought it was true," Said Kazuma as he cleaned the grave of someone

"It's crazy, she's the one who erected the mission, only to be the one to solve it," Said Gohan, "Aqua is a crazy one, but she's got a good heart, although she's a bit egotistical and arrogant, she isn't afraid to help her friends," Said Gohan with a smile, "Aqua is a good person. Crazy! But good" He finished

"As much as I hate to admit it, I agree, she's caused nothing but trouble, but also solves most of them, I wouldn't admit it in front of her if it killed me, but I'm thankful for that good for nothing goddess," Said kazuma, returning his smile

"Oh, Kazuma!" Said, wiz

"Oh, wiz San," Said Gohan

"Are you cleaning one of the graves?" She asked, "Isn't it great that the landlord allowed you to live here?" She said

"Yeah he was a real nice person, but I hope we didn't cause you trouble, wiz San," Said Gohan

"No no! I think it's for the best, She won't be alone any longer" Said wiz as she looked towards the grave Kazuma was cleaning, earning a smile

"I'm sure, Please, I beg you don't make any more trouble," Said kazuma in a praying manner

"Well, I need to go back to the shop, so say hi to the others for me" Said, Wiz

"I'll make sure of it," Said Gohan

Wiz then left

'With this, I finally earned the down-to-earth lifestyle I wanted' Thought Kazuma

"Kazuma! Gohan! Dinners ready! Hurry up otherwise your food will get cold" Screamed aqua

"Aqua, We're out of wood for the fireplace!" Said darkness, "Oh, throw in kazumas tracksuit then," She said

"HEY! Don't throw in my only memento I said!" Said Kazuma as he started to run into the house

"Wait for me!" Screamed Gohan in a laughing matter

KONOSUBA!

It's night time and megumin and Darkness were playing chess, as megumin plays a pawn and Darkness plays a bishop to take 2 of megumins pieces

"Darkness! That's not fair!" screamed megumin

Kazuma was staring at the fire, sitting on a red couch, until Aqua came to him

"Oi kazuma, relinquish that spot to the goddess Aqua," Said aqua

"Hmm?" blurted Kazuma

"I'm level 21, the highest in the party, you're being impertinent for an under levelled newbie," Said aqua

"Now that I noticed, your stats don't go up with your levels?" Said a confused Kazuma

"What does that mean? My stats were maxed out from the beginning, You're not doing good to compare me with those average adventurers" Said aqua, Kazuma looked at it for a second before standing up, "What's this? You're being obedient today" Said aqua

'Now it makes sense, why her intelligence doesn't go up' Thought kazuma with a deadpan, he puts his arm on her shoulder and gave her a pitiful look, and started crying

"Hey, what's with the sad look, why are you looking at me as if you saw something pitiful," Said aqua as Kazuma begins going up the stairs, before the door of the mansion opened, revealing a ripped shirt Gohan with a big hole in his right thigh, Kazuma looked with horror

"Gohan!" Screamed megumin as she ran towards him, helping him walk to the chair, "Are you okay? what happened? Who did this?!" Asked darkness with worry in her eyes

"Gohan! Are you okay?" Asked aqua as she ran to him, seeing him panting and bruised all around his body…. His well-toned body with buff arms and chiselled abs

"I'm…. Fine… I was just doing quests before someone attacked me off guard and ran off" Said an out-of-breath Gohan

"Quests? Why were you doing quests alone?!" Asked an angry Kazuma, Why would his teammate go on quests alone

"I went on quests this whole day, to get rid of the debt that's been annoying us, and id love to be the bearer of glad tidings, as the debts are gone" Said a smiling Gohan

"But at what cost?! You're all bloodied and at death's door!" Said darkness, worried as well

"Don't worry, I can heal him" Said aqua in a hurry, as she began healing the hole in his thigh

"I'm okay, seriously. I've dealt with worse" Said Gohan

"You said our debt was… gone?" Asked Kazuma

"Yep, I've been doing quests with a lot of money all day, before I was attacked from behind," Said Gohan

"YAAAAYYY!" Screamed both Kazuma and Aqua in joy, as Aqua finished healing Gohan

Gohan got up to examine his own body, "Aw man, My shirt is completely gone" Said Gohan as he inspected his upper body

The girls also inspected his upper body, although less in a worried way, and more in a…. Lewd way

"My goodness…" Said aqua with a blush, "You should learn from him, Kazuma" She said, still starting

"You're gawking at him! Learn what?!" Said Kazuma

Darkness looked away in embarrassment, "I'm sure he plans on using those muscles of his to force me into his way" said Darkness as she held her cheeks in a lewd way

"I plan no such thing! Stop saying that!" Said Gohan as he started to cover himself up from embarrassment

"W-W-Wow, U-Umm" Blurted a blushing megumin, She also started to shy away

"Anyway, I'm really hungry from all day's work," Said Gohan as he put his hand on his stomach which started rumbling

"U-Um… We could go to the guild and get food" Suggested megumin, Still blushing at Gohan

"I can't leave the guild like this! It's creepy when girls stare at me like that all the time! It feels embarrassing" Said a blushing Gohan

"Well, I guess we will bring you the food here, Just sit down, relax and wait." Said kazuma

"Your leg is okay, just don't move much otherwise it'll hurt," Said aqua

"Take care, okay? We'll be back in a jiffy" Said Kazuma

"We'll be back, Gohan," Said darkness

"Just wait a moment. We'll bring the food here, and make sure it's a lot, to repay you for helping our debt" Said megumin, a small blush still present, Gohan is taking care of his body for sure.

"Alright, I'm counting on you guys! Make sure it's a lot alright?" Said Gohan with a smile as he waved to them

They waved back, and then left

Well guys, it's the end of the 4th chapter, I thought it's a good idea to have gohan solve their debts, doing hard quests.

Hope you enjoyed, and see you next chapter!
