AN: Hey! Back with another chapter, have fun reading and thanks for all the support. More info at the end.

shinyboar: Thanks for the feedback! I'll definitely be writing shorter chapters now.

Guest(1): Thanks! The only reason why I made Darnkess horny as fuck was because it wouldn't make sense if she wasn't in the story. Because she's getting bombarded with noble duties and hardly has time to herself without passing out from exhaustion. So she's pent up as hell and as you saw from the first chapter, let's her desires act out instead of the more responsible side of her.

Guest(2): Thanks! Fun fact; I started writing chapter one in the middle of July, it only got released just recently. I wanted chapter one to end after a certain plot point but I kept expanding the story so it kept getting pushed further back, and in turn the chapter got way longer. As for the Goddess Thief, she'll play a pretty big role in future chapters, hope you stay for those. :) Thanks for the feedback.

Have fun reading!

"-Irk!"

"What have you done!? How can a man possibly be this stupid!?" I was suddenly awoken by a merciless choke hold by a brute of a woman. A very disheveled and very red Darkness picked me up and slammed me against the wall with every word spoken, forcing more air out of my lungs.

After a couple more seconds she let me go just as my face started turning blue and let me drop onto the floor.

I coughed excessively. "What's your problem, you muscle headed crusader!?"

"Does this look familiar?" Darkness pulled out a familiar looking paper and forcefully shoved it into my arms.

"Oh." Darkness' expression soured even more.

Looks like she found out about her little surprise.

"You sent this letter didn't you!? How did you even get my family seal!? Unless… yesterday when you left upstairs… you beast!" Darkness took a couple of steps back out of shock of realizing the truth. She pointed at me with an accusing finger. "How dare you sneak into a maiden's room without consent! How trashy can you get? Have you no shame?" Darkness bloomed a bright red.

Maiden!?

"Maiden my ass! The only thing maidenly about you is your body! And even that's bordering the line between maidenly and erotic." Eroness shamefully blushed and started choking me again.

"Hrk! Staaaahpp itttt-"

"Gwahhhhh… Good morning…huh? Darkness? What are you doing to Kazuma?" Aqua just now woke up from the recent ruckus, her eyes blinking at separate pace from one another.

"Aquaaaaa- Help! Eroness is trying to add me to her own personal harem! HEL-"

"Shut up! Aqua don't listen to this brute! He's lying!" I was rudely interrupted by Darkness.

"Here, just read this." The brute dug into her pocket and handed Aqua another letter. "It'll explain everything."

"Erm- sure thing. You might want to drop Kazuma though, I don't think he's supposed to be purple."

"Oh! Right, woops." She let me go just as I was about to black out.

I coughed up more violently, massaging my poor throat. "Watch your strength, you damn brute! You almost killed me!"

"Why you! How dare you complain, knowing fully well that it's your fault! Maybe a few broken bones should teach you!" She cracked her knuckles, glaring me down with a death stare.

I devious idea popped into my head. "Gah-!" I bowed down. "I'm so sorry Lady Dustiness!" I smirked up at her now red face.

"Maybe a few broken ribs should fix you! Get over here and stop trying to run away! Aqua help me teach this perverted man some manners!"

"Pfffft-" Aqua suddenly started laughing uncontrollably.

"I can't believe it! Our own little Darkness finally got a husband! Multiple of them! Heehee!" She giggled, a hand covering her mouth.

If any other girl did that it would've been cute, good thing I'm immune to her charms.

"Huh? What are you talking about Aqua!? Eeek!-"

"Bind!" Darkness wasn't very successful in catching the nimble me.

"Maybe you would have dodged that if your brain wasn't so squished from all the muscle you gained, hmmm?" I taunted, tapping her forehead.

"Untie me right this instant you jerk!" An extremely pissed off Darkness yelled at my smug display of superiority.

"Now, now, Lalatina. I'll let you go when you don't want to send me to Lady Eris, so you better stop whining. Now Aqua, what was it you were saying?"

"Here, take a look!" A still giggling Aqua handed me the letter she was reading.

"Don't read that!" My captive yelled.

"You can't stop me!" I waved the letter just barely out of her reach, causing her to struggle against the bind desperately. "Now let's see what we have here."

"'Dear Lalatina, my daughter;

I am very happy to hear about your desire to find an appropriate husband! I would've sure thought that Kazuma would've been the man you marry! Especially with how you talk about him when you write back.' Wow Darkness, I didn't know you talked about me so highly."

"This isn't the type of embarrassment I enjoy…" Darkness whined with her head hanging low and tears dotting the corner of her eyes.

"Hehe, no need to cry M'lady." She whimpered even more.

"Kill me." She cried.

"Let's keep reading shall we? 'It's a shame too, I enjoyed the young man's presence. You are young Lalatina, you will learn to love again hopefully with someone just as good as young Kazuma.'" Darkness whimpered again. "'I will be writing to the families I deem fit to be a potential partner to you. The young men that you expect to meet are from the:

Synphonia Family

Eloid Family

Klink Family

Spritzier Family

Zalier Family

Salem Family

Coltiva Family

Vokilo Family

Zolotlic Family-'"

"It just keeps going Kazuma, no need to bother when the very smart me has already counted that there's over a hundred people in that list! Darkness' own harem!"

"Stop saying that! I have no intention of marrying anyone at this time! Especially one of those snarky noblemen!" Darkness cried out from her bind.

Suddenly.

"M'Lady! I have arrived."

"I have also arrived to claim the Lady's love!"

"I will charm her first!"

"It's adorable seeing all you imbeciles fight for Lady Dustiness' love when it is I who will succeed in making her mine!"

Countless similar chants were being shouted from outside.

All three of us shared a look and hurried over to the window.

"Dispel!" Aqua chanted, freeing Darkness from her prison.

We all gathered at my bedroom window, ready to face whatever hell I summoned.

"Holy shit!"

Standing outside the mansion gates, a crowd of approximately a hundred or more very desperate noblemen claiming their love for our residential masochist.

"Hey! They ruined my Emperor Zell Shrub! It's trampled! Noooo- they're ruining my flower patches too!" Aqua opened my window. "Hey you horny nobles! Get off the lawn! I worked very hard to make it as pretty as possible! Now shoo!"

"My sincerest apologies Madam!" They all answered back.

"Hmpf! You better be!" She closed the window.

Darkness tapped my shoulder. "So Kazuma, what are you going to do about this mess?"

"Oh, absolutely nothing."

"OI!" She gripped my shoulder with beast-like strength.

"OWOWOW- Calm down you animal!"

"What do you mean you're not going to do something!? You caused this! So you better fix it!" She demanded.

"I'm not fixing crap! Remember, this was your punishment!" I answered, trying to ease her grip on my poor shoulder.

"This was not the type of punishment I was expecting! I was expecting something like y-you tying m-me to a tree while you mercilessly b-"

"Oi. Stop it right there." I held my hand in front of her face and interrupted another wet dream of her's. "This is your punishment whether you like it or not. You were the one begging for it, literally! You don't want to disappoint your 'M-mwaster' don't you?" I mimicked her blunder from yesterday night.

Her face flushed and morphed into a teary pout. Suddenly she tightened her vice grip.

"OWOWOW- Okay okay!, I'll clear up the mess! So ease up the grip! I think I heard something crack! OWOWOWOW-

"Come on Aqua let's go get changed, we got a couple of hopeless nobles to deal with." I sighed.

"Fine, but I want some more snacks, they were surprisingly tasty." She said, licking her fingers to taste some leftover crumbs from her midnight snack session, looking at me with one eye opened. Her actions looked surprisingly lewd. I shuddered at this.

I changed out of my tracksuit and into my white shirt and my usual pants. Instead of wearing the usual green mantle, I wore my black cloak from yesterday.

"Say Kazuma, why'd you change into that wrinkly old cloak again? The green one actually suits you better." Aqua questioned, grabbing my black cloak and giving it a tug.

"I just thought it looked cooler."

"And you call Megumin the chuuni." Aqua teased.

"Oi, I just said it looks cool, not some crazy banter on how it's from a Dark God while striking a million different poses. I don't think anyone can out-chuuni a Crimson Demon."

We exited my room and entered the hallways. A couple seconds later we reached Aqua's room. After a not so subtle threat of erasing all her Game Girl progress, I successfully managed to get Aqua ready without any real issue. We had to stop by the bathroom as well to freshen up. We exited a couple of minutes later and started making our way to the front of the mansion.

"So Kazuma, what exactly is your plan?" Darkness nervously asked.

"I already told you. To do absolutely nothing."

She stopped in her tracks, looking at me with a shocked expression. "Excuse me!? What do you mean you're not doing anything! This is your fault so get to it and do something about it!" She reached for me.

I took a couple of steps back and grabbed Aqua's hand. "Make me. Blehhh!" I stuck out my tongue and taunted her. I started chanting immediately.

"Maybe a broken hand will change your mind! Surrender and I'll make sure to break it as fast as possible!" She approached me.

"Try me Lalatina!" I gave her the good ol' middle finger.

"I won't heal you again if she catches you Kazuma!" Aqua yelped.

Just before Darkness got into strangling range I tightened my hold on Aqua, causing her to let out a surprised cry. "Ouch!- Watch it you damn NEET!"

"Teleport!" I tumbled onto the nearest wall for support and gathered myself. We were now in front of the police station, with my hand still intact.

"Say Aqua, I'm kinda hungry right now, let's go get breakfast now." I smugly smiled at her.

"You always surprise me with how you get out of taking responsibility. Once a NEET always a NEET huh?"

"Whatever, I'm hungry and I want breakfast. You coming or not?"

After a couple of seconds of pondering she gave me her answer. "…Fine, only because I don't want to deal with those stupid nobles."

"Let's get going then." I donned the hood and started heading towards the most deserted part of Axel, hoping not to run into any trouble in the way.

"Say Kazuma, the Guild is that way. Where are we going?" Aqua questioned.

I sighed. "The Guild is off limits for now. Thanks to your guys little stunt yesterday, every single adventurer in there wants me captured or just plain beat up. Seriously, you guys somehow managed to drive my reputation to the ground, even with all the stuff I did! Hell, I killed the Demon King, and I still get shit like this thrown at me."

These girls have made my life a living hell ever since I reincarnated here and I don't think it'll stop soon, no matter the amount of good deeds I do. God, what I'll do to get a break from it all… heh, a man can dream.

"Hey! It wasn't my fault you tried to take away my alcohol! If anything you're in the wrong for handling it the wrong way. Also won't you look super suspicious wearing that old and sketchy ass cloak? Don't you think a guard might notice you and stop you?"

"Oi! Don't start raising flags!" I quickly scouted the area for any cops or the like. "Just to make sure… give me your hand. Lur-"

"There he is officer! There's that suspicious man lurking around the town dragging a kidnapped maiden with him!" I was suddenly being accused of kidnapping my idiot teammate on the basis of being too suspicious by some random lady, a female guard walking closely behind.

"Huh!? What are you talking about lady!? No one's kidnapping anyone!"

The guard approached Aqua and put a hand on my shoulder, presumably to stop me from escaping.

"Now young lady, is this man kidnapping you? If he is then I'll gladly take him down to the station for incarceration." The guard asked Aqua while the woman eyed me suspiciously.

"Huh? He's not kidnapping me, he's my party-mate. His name is Kazuma." Aqua replied.

"K-Kazuma..? Kazuma S-Satou? The Kazuma Satou?!"

It seems that this guard has caught wind of all the heroic things I've done. She's even blushing! Maybe it isn't so bad after all.

With newfound confidence I revealed myself to the now frozen guard.

"Why yes, you are correct! It is I, The Legendary Kazuma Satou! The Hero of Belzerg, Slayer of The Demon King and His Generals! To whom do I owe this greeting?" I proudly remarked, bowing down in a fancy manner like a certain devil usually does.

The guard was now stunned, looking at me like I wasn't real and I was just a part of her imagination. She took a couple of steps back, now standing next to the other woman and started trembling fiercely.

Eh? Is she… scared?

I put my hand up and she flinched. "Please… don't do it! I'm so sorry I accused you of kidnapping! Just please don't steal my panties!" She protectively covered her crotch. The other woman, fearing that she would return home without her panties, immediately took off, leaving behind a very scared guard.

Oi. Am I really that much of a brute?

"I'm not gonna do anything to you, so calm down already!" The guard suspiciously eyed me, and straightened up, seemingly trusting my words.

Suddenly.

"Help! Scumzuma is trying to assault me! Help! Please someone!" The guard cried out desperately. The streets being filled by her desperate calls for help.

'!'

A split second later my enemy detect went haywire.

Uh oh.

I'm currently being chased through the streets by an angry mob with a bawling Aqua hanging onto me for dear life.

"Don't let him escape! Cut him off through the alleyways!" The same hooded girl from yesterday commanded.

Her again!? How'd she find me!?

"How the hell did you find me!? Have you been stalking me, you damn weirdo!?"

"Shut up! It's nothing like that! I was… just in the area, yeah! I heard a poor woman's cry for help and I rushed over here!" The hooded girl seemingly embarrassed scampered out an excuse for her stalking.

Is she a tsundere..?

"WAH- Kazuma what do we do!?" Aqua cried out. "Hey! Why are you guys after me too!? I didn't do anything!"

"Just keep running, I need time to chant!"

Normally I would use lurk to get away, the problem is that we're in broad daylight, being chased by a group of fifteen or more people, and have nowhere to hide. I'll have to use a concealment spell to make me and Aqua pretty much invisible, then I would use lurk. Only issue is that concealment is an intermediate spell that requires a chant if you aren't proficient in casting, like me, I'm gonna need some time.

"Kazuma look ahead of us!" Aqua warned.

"Uh oh."

Ahead of us were three adventurers, one big tough looking guy and two mages, both girls. The girls were sporting wizard-like gear while holding staffs and the man was wearing some sort of martial arts gear.

Now let's see what you three are up to…

"Foresight, Eavesdrop."

"…"

"Listen here ladies, I'll tackle him to the ground while you girls trap him with your fancy magic to make sure he doesn't pull anything sneaky, got it?" The man said.

"Yup!" x2

"Kazuma is pretty weak according to Darkness so it should easy-peasie!" One of the girls said, striking a small pose.

"Yeah! Now let's make him pay!" The other said, both girls now high fiving eachother.

"…"

Damn assholes! I'll show you weak!

"Aqua! I need you to buff my luck! And do it fast!"

"Huh!? O-Okay! Blessing!" She quickly chanted and buffed my luck.

"Okay thanks! Now hang on Aqua, things are about to get rough!"

"Wha-!?" She shrieked.

We were quickly approaching the three adventures and they quickly got into position. We were about 20 feet away now. They all faced one another and gave each other a quick nod.

"Here I go girls! GYAHH!" The martial arts man let out a battle cry and lunged at me.

A second later my body alongside Aqua's jerked out of the way. The flying man had completely missed us and ended up hitting the floor HARD and sliding a couple feet down.

Ouch, on the pavement too.

The girls, seeing their plan fail, immediately lost their composure and started shaking in fear.

"Q-Quick C-Cathie! The s-spells!"

"Ah! A-Alright! B-Bottomless Sw-"

Oh no you don't!

"Create Earth, Wind Breath!" I used my very first combo and threw sand right into Cathie's face, causing it to go right into her mouth while also blinding her.

"GAH! It's in my mouth!" A very distressed Cathie spat out some sand and started rubbing her eyes in a desperate attempt to stop the pain.

Meanwhile the other girl watched in horror as all of this happened. She started trembling harder somehow.

She shakingly pointed her staff at me. "S-Spell Bi-" I quickly closed the distance between and pressed my hand against her cleavage. She bloomed a bright red. "EEEK-! Y-you damn perv!" She shrieked. "Get your hands off me!" She tried swatting at me.

From afar this might look like me sexually assaulting a young girl but this was really a part of my genius plan. Drain touch is most effective when it's closer to the heart, luckily this girl has some cleavage exposed.

I activated Drain Touch. "Wha-?! I feel so tired..? What's happening to my mana! I can't feel it anymore!?" I drained her to the point of immobilization. I then turned my attention to the other mage girl and did the same. Both were now laying face down on the floor, like how Megumin does when she casts an explosion.

"Wow, you actually pulled it off. I'm surprised!" Aqua congratulated me..? "Got any idea how to deal with them though?" She pointed at the angry mob behind us.

The mob stopped, looked at the two girls on the floor and then back up at me. Enemy detection went crazy again. Multiple observing people giving me death glares.

"…He touched me…" The girl I drain touched mumbled weakly.

Please don't make it any worse.

"…It got in my mouth…I can still taste it…" Cathie spoke up, clearly traumatized.

"Oh- Come on! You're making it worse for me on purpose! I didn't do anything lewd to them!" I pleaded.

"Liar! Trash! Pervert! Scum! We'll get rid of you once and for all! The women of Axel won't have to sleep with one eye open anymore! Grab him!" The stalker girl commanded. She always has her face hidden so I don't know anything about her. All I know is that she isn't stupid.

She has a talent for leading and commanding people. A genuine threat…

"Spell Bind! Try escaping now!" She casted a spell straight towards me.

"Deflect!" Aqua shouted.

The spell hit Aqua's wall of light and it returned back towards its sender, hitting her and her group, temporarily disabling all skills and spells.

"Holy shit! Nice one Aqua!"

"That'll teach them to mess with me, oh and you too Kazuma!"

"Good now let's get moving!" With the horde of people temporarily confused on why their magic is gone, it was the perfect opportunity to make our escape.

Just to buy as more time…

"Create Water!" I splashed water all over the street. leaving no spot untouched.

The adventurers stopped for a second, a little confused but still continued their assault, others though were a little worried and slowed down a little. "It's just a little water you damn pussies! Let's grab him, look he's standing still!" 'Little Red Stalking Hood' commanded.

She's getting more annoying than the girls themselves.

She started running at me, through the puddles of water. "Freeze!" I spread the frozen wind all over the street, every puddle getting frozen and slippery.

"Come o- woa-GAH!" As if on cue, the hooded bitch slipped and fell, landing face first. I could hear multiple snickers coming from the adventurers, I couldn't help but snicker as well. I could see her face slowly turning beet red. A little squeak can be heard coming from her as well.

"Come on Aqua, we gotta lose them!" With the opportunity presented we ran as fast as we could. We found a shady alleyway and ducked into it to catch our breaths.

"I can't… even walk outside… without being chased down!" I angrily panted between breaths.

"What are you looking at me for?" Aqua questioned, not even panting a bit.

I pointed at her. "I don't know, maybe this whole thing wouldn't have happened if you guys were a little more responsible!" I closed the distance between us, my finger now pressing to her forehead. "You guys managed to drag me down from where I was, a damn hero! To a fucking menace to society! It hadn't even been two weeks since I became a hero and now look at me!" I pressed down on Aqua's forehead little by little with each word. "I might as well be a suspected terrorist again with the amount of hate I'm getting! I can't even walk in the streets without being accused of sexual assault and being man hunted!" I angrily yelled, my pent up hatred and frustration letting loose.

Aqua herself was on the verge of tears, she herself was about to argue back.

"Hey! I think I heard them from over here!" A voice called out from the streets.

Already!?

I grabbed Aqua's hand and led her further into the alleyway. "Come on! We're not staying outside for long. I'll deal with Darkness when we get back. Lurk."

We eventually found a dumpster and hid to the side of it while I started chanting teleport.

"Pyoo! Why'd we have to hide behind this stinky old dumpster? I'll never get this smell out of my dress!" Aqua complained, using her free hand to cover her nose.

"Quiet down and let me focus!" I hissed back.

"Hmpf!" She pouted.

A couple seconds later I was done.

"Got it! Let's get out of here, teleport!"

In a flash of light we were now gone.

…

"Huh? I swear I heard Kazuma's voice coming from here…"

"Keep looking damnit! His little trick must've drained his mana, he can't get far with how weak he is!" The girl announced, a gust of wind hitting her. Her hood getting carried away by it. She quickly adjusted her disguise, a streak of black hair slipping out, swaying in front of her now exposed golden eyes.

She quickly looked around, making sure no one saw her.

"Good, I don't need me getting exposed just yet… Satou Kazuma, I will find you no matter what, and make you feel pain." The girl made a silent vow, grinning a little to herself.

AN: Hey! Hope you enjoyed Chapter two! As I said last time, this was supposed to be part of chapter one. Chapter one was going to be super massive but in the end I decided against it, I don't think anyone will want to read that. I know this chapter is short compared to chapter one, but I was able to get it out way faster. I'll make smaller chapters from here on out, only writing long ones if the plot demands it. I tried making the combat scenes as accurate as possible to the official ones. Once again feedback is appreciated, thanks for reading and see you all next time! :)
