Hey look it's me again doing A/N how long has it been… (double takes) eh?...EH? TWO MONTHS? WHAT WHEN huh?... Yeah…sorry about taking so long…I just sorta…put this off for a moment and said I would do it…and then when I wanted to I got the feeling of being lazy…soooo yeah…sorry about that. And for all the people who waited for this…yeah upload schedule is going to be very rough… especially with school and that sorta shit but you know…writing is fun and I hope I can do it more, oh yeah there will be two announcements at the end of the chapter in the author's notes…Which will make my upload schedule non existent…but hey you stuck around for this long which means that I had a nice idea for a story and I got you intrigued, and before we begin the chapter I will answer questions that we were asked last time.
We have one question from Chickenhell and I will just answer the question.
By the way, I am envisioning the story. I don't see how this will happen. It's under the maybe category right now simply because I don't think it makes sense, but it's maybe because I can't predict what might happen in the future.
Betas: Donaldorito (More like a co writer by this point)
And with that out of the way let's get on with our tale
I own nothing. Jujutsu kaisen is owned by Gege Akutami and KonoSuba is owned by Natsume Akatuski.
It's been quite a day for Yuji Itadori who just finished his shift at the tavern.
He sighed to himself as he walked out thinking about his friends and what happened in the last few days.
After a moment Yuji decided that he should explore to both clear his mind and find out more about this strange town, as he started walking around seeing all kinds of things ranging from a happy bunch of kids playing tag by the fountain to a few shops closing for the evening. But the things that caught Yuji's attention the most were the vibrant colors ranging from the night sky to even the small shops. Everything looked so happy, it was strange for him a great contrast from the usual blood colored red or the burning blue flames of cursed energy.
Yuji continued to walk in a direction with no real destination in mind, the only thing occupying it was what he would do, his mission? What was his mission anyway?, to serve? to keep fighting until he dies to make sure that no one dies a meaningless death?... but….what is a meaningful death…he knows it himself, that no one dies without regret. So, what does that make his mission? What does that make HIM? Those thoughts continued to plague his mind, and perhaps always will…

Aqua: "KonoSuba!"
(I forgot to give descriptions last chapter so now I will be giving them…yeah awkward)(ALSO I'M STILL HERE) (no you are not)
Back at the tavern:
At a table near the entrance three people were just sitting down, the first had a drink in her hand and aqua colored hair and eyes. She had a strange hair ornament. She was the goddess Aqua. On the other side of the table there was a brown haired man with pretty basic adventurer gear and dark green eyes and his name was Kazuma Satou. Sitting next to him was a short girl (4'9) wearing a red shirt and a dark colored cape. She also wore an extremely oversized hat with yellow and red stitches. Next to said girl was a fairly large staff, she was Megumin.
Aqua is happily chugging her beer without a care in the world, soon she downs the entire beer mug and calls out to the nearby waiter and orders another beer.
With a fake smile and a gentle voice Kazuma decides to speak up "Aqua" he says which gets said person's attention, and suddenly Kazuma's entire facade breaks down. "Why in the living HELL did you tell us to come here COMBAT READY if you're JUST GONNA CHUG SOME BEERS!"
Aqua looked at Kazuma for a moment before leaning closer to both of her teammates "the thing is…I saw a demon in the tavern earlier today" she said secretly, Megumin's eyes lit up in excitement, while Kazuma raised a brow.
"You're joking aren't you" Kazuma said with narrowed eyes
as Aqua replies "Nope. The demon was really monstrous, he had FOUR arms and FOUR eyes and TWO mouths, and he didn't wear a shirt and he had strange markings all over his body and he was also 7 feet tall! And THE strangest thing of all, Is that he had PINK HAIR. so I jumped on him, and by the end he was begging for mercy!" after she said that she began laughing like a maniac and then she continued "But he ended up managing to escape my grasp by sheer luck"
Kazuma thought to himself that if they weren't in some weird medieval world he would have been sure that Aqua was having an LSD overdose "...And no one said anything about this demon because?" Kazuma asked with narrowed eyes
Aqua proudly replies "That disgusting demon was hiding in human form, but he couldn't hide from me!" she was showing a devilish smile from ear to ear by this point.
Megumin couldn't stop herself from looking in awe at how her teammate definitely bested a demon that could even disguise itself as a human and she bested him ALONE, it was all so very impressive and believable.
Kazuma just gave a blank look to Aqua and asked her "And you are sure that it was a demon and not some POOR, RANDOM civilian that you assaulted while drunk?"
"N-No no way, my senses are way too great for that THING to be human" (racist) she said with a huff while looking away.
Kazuma, seeing Aqua suddenly on edge, asked her "And what happened after you bested the so-called DEMON?" While Kazuma leans closer.
"Oh, they kicked me out." Aqua said flatly.
"what" said Kazuma with a blank face as he was holding back tremendous rage. He breathed in deeply "so…you mean to tell me...that you BEAT UP a demon…..and the tavern employees kicked YOU out!?"
"Yeah, the demon must have placed a spell on them or something".
"Or something?" he said with a deep groan "YOU MORON!"
Aqua backed away slightly due to the volume "What did I do wrong?" She asked genuinely confused
"WHILE DRUNK! YOUR DUMBASS ASSAULTED A POOR, RANDOM, INNOCENT! CIVILIAN! AND YOU EXPECT TO BE PRAISED!?".By this point everyone in the tavern is looking at them, EVEN Shigekuni stepped out of his office to check out the ruckus.
Megumin just looked shocked, but to be fair I would also be shocked just from the sheer volume of these two "hey, guys-" Megumin started to speak but
"SHUT UP TOKEN LOLI! THE ADULTS ARE TALKING!" Kazuma said angrily before returning his ire to Aqua
"Token loli huh….." Megumin said dejectedly before picking up her staff "in darkness experience my magnificent power shine through revealing the true destruction of the world!"
Kazuma and Aqua stare at Megumin in horror as Kazuma and Aqua said together "Megumin calm down, we can talk about this!/hey come on now no need to be that mad"
"MY POWER, LIKE A PHOENIX WILL RISE FROM THE ASHES AND STRIKE ONCE MORE!"
"EXPLOSIO-"
Shigekuni is quick to act as he snaps his finger and nonchalantly says "Counterspell"
"Wait what did you say?" Megumin asked way too caught up in her chant to notice what he said as the explosion that she braced for never came and she fell to the floor without any mana remaining rendering her imobile.
Megumin is just laying on the floor imobile and shocked beyond belief.
She could only look up at Shigekuni as he opens one of his eyes and says "It's called counterspell, and now leave my tavern. You are causing trouble, so you are banned from it until tomorrow. And if I catch you causing more trouble, the next time I won't be so generous".
A terrified Aqua looked at Shigekuni and asked him one thing "what does that spell do?" she asked as she began walking to the door while failing to try to hide the fact she is shaking harder than a tremor.
Shigekuni simply turned away and walked back to his office, all with a disappointed look on his face.
As the group slowly stepped out of the tavern shaking after the fear of GOD (old men) was shoved down their throats.

megumin: "konoSuba!"
Back with Yuji:
Yuji was walking around staring at the sky, he was thinking of what he was more specifically his purpose was he truly just a cog in the machine, trying to guide people to a meaningful death. or was he just a boy who had made one too many mistakes in life and now has the chance to correct them. He looked left as his vision blurred he saw a sight that he would truly never forget, the barren streets of Shibuya while the only thing he could hear was the maniacal laughter of the two people he hated most, one had four eyes with red irises, Ryomen Sukuna, while the other had stitches over his face and two different colored eyes, his name was Mahito the true curse of humanity.
As Yuji looks to the crater he sees a sight that brings a small smile to his face. His friends, everyone was there(except Kinji Hakari who IS STILL fighting Uraume ) Maki Zenin , Yuta Okkotsu , Choso ,Kusakabe Atsuya ,Ino Takuma ,Toge Inumaki ,Ui ui ,Satoru Gojo ,Panda (to those who don't know, he is just a panda don't think too hard about that) ,Aoi Todo ,Noritoshi Kamo ,Higuruma Hiromi , Takaba Fumihiko , Ijichi Kyotaka , Nanami Kento ,Nobara Kugisaki and Junpei Yoshino.
Yuji calls out to them as he approaches them and they all turn to look at him with smiles on their faces, as just when he is about to reach them-suddenly Maki gets her stomach indicted inwards, Yuta gets nearly sliced in half, Choso gets burnt to a crisp, Kusakabe gets an X slash on his upper body, Ino gets slammed into a wall, Inumaki loses an arm, Gojo gets cut in half, Panda gets his head mounted on Kashimo's lightning rod, Todo loses his hand, Noritoshi vanishes, Higuruma falls to the floor as he gets slashed down the middle, Nanami gets half of his body roasted soon after, getting his upper body blown to bits, Nobara loses her left eye and falls on the floor and Junpei gets transfigurated as Yuji runs to help him by the time he reaches there it's too late as junpei's life leaves his eyes.
And before Yuji can react there is sudden change of scenery, he is now in a train station and as he looks back and then Chtch he turns around to see Mahito stabbing his own arm which he changed to look exactly like Junpei "you are me Itadori Yuji" his eyes went wide for a moment as once again the scenery changed before his eyes now he was sitting down on a wooden chair looking at the goddess, the same one that sent him there her voice rang true
"I'm sure of giving this chance to you, Yuji. maybe after having some adventures in this new world you might be able to find yourself once more"
"Maybe …maybe this is the time for me to change…to learn how to be human again…" Yuji thought to himself
"Maybe this is the second…and, last chance i'll-
The scenery plunges into nothingness as the next thing Yuji sees is a snowy forest at sunrise as he sees Mahito laying on the ground crying out of fear in front of…. Himself? And the other Yuji starts saying, " You are right, Mahito. I am you. I wanted to reject you. Convince myself that you were wrong. But that doesn't matter now. I'm gonna kill you. Even if you come back as another curse, I will kill you. Change your name. Change your form. I will kill you again. I don't need to find meaning or a reason. Maybe a hundred years after my death, the meaning behind my actions will become apparent. In the grand scheme of things, I'm probably nothing more than a cog. But I will keep killing curses for as long as I can. That is my role in all this."
As reality shatters around him he returns to the street that he was just exploring, "I know what I must do. Even if it's only for now. I will kill the demon king" he told himself before looking up at the moon, the moon it was full tonight, a reminder that even the simplest of things can bring joy to others, beauty, something so simple that grants such joy, he couldn't allow himself to enjoy the moon, because no matter how bright it shone, Yuji Itadori's fate would always be followed by darkness.
A low growl could be heard from the teenage boy's stomach, he decided he wouldn't eat until he becomes an adventurer, after all he was just a cog…and a cog doesn't need to eat…it only…does…its…job…yeah, his job…he thought that he should probably go clean himself up soon, it was getting rather late, so he turned around his gaze distant and his mind deep in thought as he began to plan for his next day.
.

Yuji: "KonoSuba!"
Yuji stepped into the bath house and went to grab a towel. He stepped out to see the bathtub almost empty, save for one person, that guy was too busy sulking to notice Yuji. Kazuma was just sitting there, contemplating where it all went wrong. Just until he hears the sound of water splashing across the tub. Kazuma took one look at the salmoned haired kid looking directly at his face with a curious look. Kazuma just sighed and asked "Can I help you with something?"
Yuji snaps out of his stupor, realizing that he was staring at a stranger for the past few seconds. "Oh sorry, I spaced out." As he continues to speak, "I was just seeing how bummed out you were looking, so I thought I could help."
Kazuma looked at him with doubt, "Well I doubt you could really help, but…..My friend is really stupid and got us kicked out of the tavern"
Yuji just looked at him really surprised, wondering what kind of thing that friend of his must have done to get them kicked out. Yuji's eyes suddenly widened as he remembered what happened to him just a few hours ago, Yuji with a shaky voice asked him- "Did she happen to have blue hair and eyes…. And also had a drinking problem?"
Kazuma stares at the boy confused at how he got Aqua down to a T, before slapping his own head as he remembered what said goddess said once she described the "demon" two simple words reverberated inside his mind, Pink hair. "Did she by any chance assault you while possibly drunk?" he asked with very low hopes.
Yuji was the one who was shocked this time, as this stranger just gave a perfect description to what had happened to him just a few hours ago. Yuji, now more interested, asks Kazuma back "How did you know that?"
Kazuma just looked down at the waters dejected by this whole world "god damn it…" he said in small voice just annoyed by this whole charade
Yuji who is slowly but surely catching onto the situation tells Kazuma "Ahh I get it now, don't worry it wasn't your fault".
Kazuma looked at the boy with regret in his eyes "But it is my fault, I shouldn't have left her unsupervised". He said with disappointment in his voice.
"Unsupervised?" Yuji asked Kazuma, confused, "why would you need to keep her under supervision?" Yuji looked to the side while tilting his head.
"She is a man child with ego problems" Kazuma stated bluntly with a deadpan expression.
Yuji (who was already done bathing while this entire conversation was going on) is kind of feeling uncomfortable and thinks he needs to keep a sleeping schedule and gets up, "Well… It was nice talking to you but I have work tomorrow so I gotta leave".
Kazuma looked at the retracting form of the kid "Yo kid, I forgot to tell you, my name is Kazuma Satou,what's your name?" he asked politely
Yuji turns his gaze back to the now introduced Kazuma and replies "My name is Yuji Itadori, nice to meet you.
.
.

Kazuma: "KonoSuba?"
Yuji was walking back near the stables where he slepts last night, he didn't really have anywhere else to go and he didn't want to be bothered or bother anyone.
Yuji looked at the horizons while walking as he saw everyone going home to sleep, children with smiles on their faces adults talking and taking care of the young, Yuji smiled slightly it was a nice sight and it brought back memories of when he just became a jujutsu sorcerer, after all…those kids reminded him of who he was before…then…
his smile dropped and his face became blank and unreadable, his mind floating back to all of those he cared about…the students that put their life on the line to save those who couldn't fend for themselves against curses 'Megumi…nobara…why am I the only one here…'
Yuji thought as he saw images of him smiling with his friends but he didn't let it show…after all he wasn't even human.
Before he could continue that train of thought he arrived at his destination, the green seemed to be a bit damper than last night…as the only sound that Yuji could have heard was the howls of winds.
All he had to do was just hop on that tree and close his eyes, it was his one and only escape from his harsh reality. Yuji simply proceeded to do so.
But obviously… It's never that easy…. And because of this fact, Yuji might never have good dreams ever again… flashes of his friends appeared in his visage, pain, death and horrors beyond the regular human comprehension, and out of these terrible feeling there is only one thing that sorcerers release…. Cursed energy at highly fluctuating rates.
meanwhile
In the stables. Panic ensues, as Aqua is running around searching for her gear while calling Kazuma to prepare for combat.
"KAZUMA! THE DEMON IS BACK FOR ROUND TWO" Aqua proclaimed, as she picked up her staff in a hurry.
All Kazuma is doing is yelling back at her "FOR THE LAST TIME! HE WASN'T A DEMON YOU BROAD! HE WAS A RANDOM PERSON WHO YOU ASSAULTED WHILE DRUNK!"
"HOW DARE YOU!? ASSUME THAT ME THE GREAT GODDESS Aqua GOT DRUNK AND ASSAULTED A PERSON!" Aqua retorted angrily before moving backwards slightly from the fluctuating aura that seems to start resonate wherever that "demon" goes.
Kazuma, now slightly more calm replies, "I quite literally met the guy, his name was Yuji Itadori and he was a really nice guy.
Aqua's eyes open in shock… "I see, I see…" she said calmly "so you were brainwashed by the Demon as well…how sad…I am not sorry at all for what I am going to do to you." As she cracks her knuckles with a killer look in her eyes.

One minute later
All that could be heard next were the cries for forgiveness coming from the goddess, as all that came next were the words….. "No" As Aqua could be heard screaming.
Aqua and Kazuma: "KONOSUBA!"
For the next four days, Yuji Itadori's life became quite mundane.
And by quite mundane I mean mundane, he woke up got to work got out of work to find more work he would do this until late evenings where he will finally go to take a bath and have a nice small conversation with Kazuma Satou, and after that he would go back to the same old tree to finally get a not so good nights rest (yeah…I dunno why or how…but the tree…was still comfy).
And all of that kept happening until the fourth day, where… Things slightly changed.
At the tavern, exactly at the end of Yuji's shift.
Yuji walking to the door says "I'll be going now". As he is met with complete silence…He could only sigh to himself as he walks outside.
He thinks to himself "Well I guess I have some time on my hand before going to the bath house". Yuji contemplates on where to go, until he decides to return to his tree. But while approaching the gate he swears he can see a familiar visage.
Meanwhile
Kazuma is walking through the gate with Megumin on his back, after yet another day of explosions. While walking down the streets to the tavern where they would meet up with the problematic one (Aqua). But just down the street he can see Yuji approaching. 'Shit…im with Megumin right now…I can't let the only possibly sane person I know see her…shit shit shit what to do…' Kazuma thought to himself as he came up with a "genius" plan, he looked down to hide his face and started walking unsuspiciously fast… Now that plan would have worked…if Yuji was maybe blind, but due to the fact he is not blind….. He could easily spot Kazuma carrying A random child.
And so…. Yuji did exactly that. "Yo Kazuma!"
Kazuma falls into despair as he hears Yuji calling his name, as Megumin wonders who that guy is.
Kazuma could only stand there, knowing that Yuji is about to get roped in into all of his friends' shenanigans. "run while you still can" Kazuma mumbled silently, hoping that Yuji would heed his warnings. But it was all but too late, as Yuji finished a light jog in order to reach their location.
"Hello Kazuma, didn't expect to see you here at this hour. Oh… Who is that child on your back?"
Kazuma could only stand there, silently, as his world starts to fall apart.
"Hey I'll have you know i'm fifteen years old!" Megumin said angrily as she stared daggers at the pink haired boy
Yuji's expression suddenly changes from curiosity to surprise "Oh that means we are the same age".
That revelation snaps Kazuma out of his stupor "What did you just say?"
Yuji swiftly replies "I said im fifteen years old"
Kazuma is outright shocked, while Megumin is still grasping their immense size difference(Yuji is 5 '8).
Yuji, being the sometimes pretty dense guy he is, asks Megumin " So… Who are you?"
Megumin gets a spark in her eyes, as she starts to answer his (terrible) question (mistake) "Ho-ho-ho...I guess it means our meeting is a fate chosen by the world itself."
She tries to strike a pose forgetting that she is incapable of moving and falls off Kazuma's back, but this does not stop her.
My name is Megumin! My calling is that of an arch wizard, one who controls explosion magic, the strongest of all offensive magic! And it is an honor for you to meet me! M-"
She tries to continue before getting picked up by Kazuma who immediately starts to run away telling Yuji "I am sorry for the inconvenience, this random girl hit her head on a rock a few days ago, and she clearly still hasn't recovered. I was just taking her to the hospital for a check up! Anyway I'll see you later!" he said As he was getting farther and farther away.
Megumin just shouts "HEY!" very aggressively, and punches Kazuma in the face repetitively, yet doing absolutely zero damage.
Yuji just stands there, with a confused look on his face. " I guess I'll see him later." And proceeds to sigh, and walks away. And another day ends.
But on the fifth day…
Megumin, Yuji and Kazuma "KONOSUBA!"
Everything seemed like it was a normal day in Axel, except.. For two reasons, First Yuji woke up late for work. Second, the thing that woke Yuji up was an alarm ringing throughout the town.
The voice coming from the alarm was a very familiar one, it was Luna's voice telling everyone "All adventurers are to go to the gate immediately."
Yuji, even though he isn't an adventurer yet, decided to go to the gate to see what all the fuss is about. Once there he could see a huge group of adventurers and in front of them, on a rock, was a horse carrying a knight who was holding his own head. It was the dullahan, one of the demon king's general's… Verdia. Now no one really knows that fact yet.
The horse man with no head starts speaking "I am a leader of the demon king's army, who moved into the nearby castle recently. And day after day, after day! After day! Wh-who's the screw-loose imbecile who keeps firing explosion magic at my castle every single DA-
Meanwhile, from Yuji's pov…
Yuji hears the first sentence the dullahan says and suddenly everything around him goes numb as in a split second
BOOM
In a sonic boom Yuji blasts off at Verdia with only two people other than Yuji himself noticing, one of them happens to be the dullahan. Who in his split second of time reacts and barely manages to defend himself, but by the time anyone else notices what happened both Yuji and Verdia were out of sight, just two blurs in the horizon.
As both Yuji and Verdia fall through the sky, there is a moment of silence… Until Verdia starts shouting "WHAT THE HELL IS YOUR PROBLEM! I DON'T EVEN KNOW YOU!" Yuji just stares at him with a blank face as he puts both of his hands in a very familiar position "Piercing blood". As a beam of crimson red blood shoots out of Yuji's hands at sonic speeds.
The dullahan quickly shifts his body to avoid critical damage, as he swung his greatsword with great might back at Yuji in an attempt of retaliation.
Yuji counters by grabbing the greatsword with both of his arms putting effort and cursed energy into it, but both Verdia and Yuji clearly seem to lack the ability to see the ever approaching danger, that is, the floor.
Yuji is the first to notice and uses his grip on Verdia's sword to swing around it, trying to land a powerful kick at Verdia's face in order to stay on top when they hit the ground, just to realize a second too late, that Verdia's head is not where it's supposed to be.
And with the force Yuji put into his kick, he ends up loosening his grip on the sword and starts falling to the floor at higher speeds. As both of them crashed into the ground, a large boom could be heard.
Both of the fighters get up from the floor, Yuji is wiping away the dust from his clothes and Verdia regains his composure. As he starts to talk "Listen I don't know who you are, but I must commend you. Not everyone can keep up with me in close range like this, but if you don't mind me asking….. WHY THE HELL DID YOU ATTACK ME WHILE I WAS TALKING, I DIDN'T EVEN HAD THE CHANCE TO PROPERLY INTRODUCE MYSELF!"
Yuji simply answers "Because you are the enemy who works for the demon king, so I must kill you in order to kill him."
Verdia looks a bit insulted but replies "Just because you are a child doesn't mean I won't kill you, so now you will pay the price for challenging me" he swiftly points a finger at Yuji and says " I curse you with DEATH!" as a quick burst of purple energy blasts out of Verdia's finger heading straight towards Yuji.
Yuji senses the danger and quickly jumps into the sky, raising his foot preparing for an axe kick aimed directly toward the dullahan. Verdia simply chuckles "Well then… BRING IT ON!" as he prepares his own attack to match his opponent's.
DONNNG
The two attacks collide with tremendous force sending both fighters flying backwards. The dullahan is laughing to himself as he puts on his head and prepares for another round of combat, while Yuji is hatching a plan. Verdia bursts towards Yuji swinging his sword aiming directly to the head, but Yuji was prepared for this as he starts falling forwards and gets on his two hands to counter the attack with a Manji Kick knocking Verdia back.
Yuji utilizes this chance by dashing at Verdia with an open palm, with Verdia feeling the sheer animosity coming from Yuji as he barely dodges the palm, but not completely as Yuji manages to tug on his cape. And within a split second…
"DISMANTLE!"
In the instant those words were said, small scissors appeared across the cape following lines predetermined by Yuji himself. As in another instant the scissors burst with speed leaving the cape completely demolished.
As the cape gets torn to shreds Yuji lands on the ground looking back to confirm the kill as he sees Verdia uncut but his cape on the ground in shreds, Verdia looks at him shocked, knowing that if that move were to hit him… He will die on the spot! But with no hesitation Yuji dashes towards Verdia throwing a punch at him, which Verdia moves his sword to block.
Yuji seized the opportunity in order to sweep Verdia's legs and punched down with tremendous force, heading and hitting directly at the dullahan's chest, as a crater formed in the ground. But before Yuji could follow that punch up the sound of a neigh could be heard as Yuji gets rammed by the dullahan's horse.
Verdia gets up with a bit of heavy breathing, Yuji stands up ready to continue fighting but the dullahan cuts him off "I've decided… I will be leaving now" Yuji could only tilt his head in confusion. "Even if I beat you I will be tired and injured, and will have to face the rest of the adventurers, and I know at least one of them has explosion magic, AND I HOPE only one of them does… So before I have to go through that struggle, I'll just leave and come back with an army and a better plan." Yuji shoots another piercing blood at the dullahan only for him to say "Goodbye now" And vanish in a thunderbolt.
Yuji sighed as he placed both of his hands behind his head, eyes still trying to track the monster that he couldn't kill. "Next time I see that bastard…I will make sure to kill him." He vowed to do so, he wouldn't let others get hurt. He decided that he should go search for the castle the headless horsemen was talking about. He looked in a random direction before looking at a different one, as he simply shrugged and headed north east without a second thought, you know…it just felt right.
While this thing was happening.
At the gate.
"Wha" Kazuma said to himself confused and befuddled "Wha-what just…happened?" He asked while looking to the horizon.
Kazuma could only look on as he saw his newest party member marching angrily to the same direction the two blurs flew too with an angry pout on her face.
She had blonde hair that was tied up into ponytail, she had two red hair ornament and her bangs went just to her shoulders, she had blue eyes, and THE most generic heavy armor the world will ever see!…oh…right she also like, has a wing shoulder pad that's really cool on her right arm…for no real reason…she was fairly tall (5 '6). Her name is La-wait, errrr… Darkness yes…Darkness…let's go with that for now…
Anyway… Darkness was heading straight towards the area where the blurs crash landed, Kazuma as calmly as he could be at the moment placed a hand on her shoulder in an attempt to maim her…which failed…miserably
"Darkness, where do you think you are going?" Kazuma asked with an innocent smile.
"To the fight" Darkness said "innocently"
Kazuma gulped as he thought to himself 'I need to stop her…I am not letting her go fight one of the demon king's generals…where she could maybe die…and leave the party…' Kazuma concluded the best course of action "you know what…sure go ahead" he said as he let go of Darkness without hesitation.
Now… Darkness may not be the sharpest tool in the shed. But she is still more than intelligent enough to figure out what is going on, and what does it do? … Well… You could say she is feeling it right now.
"Kazuma…so direct" she mumbled, under her hand, shy?
"God damn it!" Kazuma said annoyedly, "And why the hell did you stop?" he continued, flabbergasted by Darkness's insistence to "stay" in character.
Meanwhile Megumin is just shocked, constantly wondering what just happened.
A few hours later
Back with Yuji
'Where the hell am I?' Yuji thought to himself as he saw…well…snow? Well…it can't be that cold already can it? Yuji looks to the sky just to see it's already the afternoon, and that he is late for work! Without a single bit of hesitation he turns back and sprints as fast as he possibly could at the moment.
And an hour of sprinting later
"Huff puff…Jeez…I wonder how the boss will react to me being this late…Well one way to find out" Yuji muttered to himself as he entered the tavern.
After he put on his work clothes he started his shift, something that caught his ear was that all the talk right now was about how there were two blurs after the dullahan disappeared, he didn't really pay too much attention, his mind still lingering on said creature apparently called a dullahan. He needed to prepare for when it would return and be ready, because nothing…and I mean nothing will stop Yuji Itadori from killing the demon king.
Today was wild with a bunch and I mean A BUNCH of people going to the tavern after the "Victory" against the general of the demon king, everyone seemed to be in very high spirits with drinks going down faster than you could read this last line. Which was included but not limited to a certain party of four sitting down near the bar.
Kazuma was glad that nothing bad happened.
Aqua was very uncharacteristically deep in thought 'what the hell was that demon doing there…what in the world was going on back there? … I couldn't even see him' she mused in her mind as she looked around in the tavern hoping to find something on this thing.
Meanwhile Megumin was having her usual rant about not being allowed to drink alcohol.
And Darkness was just focused on eating.
Yuji was walking around the tavern making sure to steer clear of Aqua, and to serve the customers. Yuji is seeing everyone having a lot of fun, so he decides to try to enjoy himself for a brief moment. He walks to a corner and pulls out his phone, scrolling at all the pictures he has with his friends, his brothers and his teachers, letting out a genuine smile.
He heard someone calling out for a waiter, so he put his phone in his pocket and went to help them…but…He was in a state where he didn't really notice where he was going, his mind filled with nostalgia from his time with his friends and teachers. When he finally reached the table and fully noticed what was going on…it was already far, far too late to turn back… as he saw a bundle of blue hair and eyes and all he could do was pray…
"Hello there, how may I help you?" Yuji asked with a drop of sweat coming down from his neck.
"I would like a refill of this drink" Aqua stated in a weirdly…nice tone of voice…
Kazuma bats an eye to Aqua's weird behavior, 'A sudden change of behavior like this… What is she planning?'
Yuji is just as confused as Kazuma is, but decides to not question it on the off chance it gets her upset. So he leaves to refill her drink.
And the rest of that night at the bar goes surprisingly well. And Yuji heads off to Shigekuni's office to receive his payment, he knocks on the door as the magic mouth appears once again.
"State your name and purpose or leave immediately."
Yuji, who by this point adapted to his environment swiftly answers, "It's Yuji Itadori sir, and I'm here for my payment." After those words were spoken the door swung open revealing the old dusty office, with Shigekuni sitting on his chair.
"I see you've come for your payment." says Shigekuni in his regular voice, as he continues, "This should be about enough for you to become an adventurer now."
Yuji is shocked to hear that, because he never told anyone that becoming an adventurer was his goal. So he asked "Sir if you don't mind me asking… How did you know that becoming an adventurer was my goal?"
Shigekuni just laughs at the question and replies "What? Did you really expect me to believe that someone of your age and prowess would waste their talents on being a waiter at a tavern?"
Yuji, a bit embarrassed, just answers "I guess that logic makes sense." Yuji starts to walk away after telling Shigekuni "Thank you… Thank you very much."
Shigekuni just simply waves him goodbye before the door closes and both of them are out of each other's sight. Now alone again, Shigekuni whispers to himself, "What he did back there was quite the impressive feat, I'm interested about where his path will take him."
Yuji now with the money he requires, he heads off to the counter in order to become an adventurer. Once he gets there he gets greeted by Luna telling him "Hello Yuji, is it finally time?"
Yuji replies with a smile "Yes… yes it is."
Luna smiles back, "Alright then. Please hand over the registration fee."
Yuji puts his hand in his pocket and fishes out all of the money he has been saving for this moment, "here you go." Yuji said as he gave Luna the money
"Thank you, now when you are ready place your hand on the crystal so we may see your prowess as an adventurer" Luna said with a smile on her face as she pointed at the crystal ball
Yuji placed his hand atop of the crystal and when he did a bright blue light erupted from the ball, encasing the whole tavern in a light crystal hue. And after a moment the shade started to change to a darker shade of blue with pitch black particles surrounded by flames. And after a moment the light dies down to reveal a card which Luna picks up.
"Wow…you have an insane strength and durability with your agility not far behind, your magic is quite above average as well, but it seems as if your luck and intelligence leaves a bit to be desired" she said as she looked back at Yuji "so as for your class-huh?...it seems you already have a chosen class…how strange, this has never happened before" Luna stated as she read the class name "it seems you are a sorcerer…well Yuji this is your adventurer card, if you could just sign it" Luna said as she handed Yuji his card with a pen.
Yuji looked at the card before writing his name in japanese…and as soon as he did something happened…he felt something…wrong…really really wrong…his cursed energy…his techniques were…getting sealed. He could feel Blood manipulation and his Shrine getting locked up as if he never learnt them to begin with, and as if his cursed energy output was being heavily reduced. He felt…like he just went back multiple steps back in his skills, this was bad…but that wouldn't stop him, it didn't back then.
"Well we have quests but I wouldn't recommend taking them on…since all of the easy ones aren't available due to that demon king's general." Luna said with a pitying look on her face "complete these quests and we will give you a reward. And for every monster you slay you will gain experience and that will allow you to level up, leveling up grants you skill points which you can use to unlock skills and features from your class.
All of the staff gather around Yuji and Luna says "On behalf of the adventurers guild, we welcome you Yuji Itadori."

And finish. Thank you all for reading this stuff that I like to call a story, if you did stick with me this long and have a question you can feel free to ask both in this story's review or just in my pm, but enough about that let's get to the important stuff. I have two main announcements to make (both are stories so you gotta know that this is getting even more delayed than it was before) I'm going to make A Vegito in FGO story (I like the concept and I think given enough thought and care can turn to a very good piece of media)
And a self Insert Story of me and my friends in the RWBY series (Now I know what I personally think about OC'S. I hate them, usually, because they don't normally feel like characters in a world of fiction and I hope to change that). Now that I got that out of me I hope you had a good time reading this (and another reminder that I am still inexperienced in storytelling so if you have feedback I would be happy to receive.)(But I would like to ask you that the next time you have negative feedback, please do not be so harsh, it was one of the main reasons it took so long… not saying names….But he knows who he is.) (man I thought we were done with these types of jokes where I butt after your sentence.)
And now I hope that for now you have a good day,night or even afternoon for whenever you are reading this and from the bottom of my heart thank you.
