Bab 141: Konosuba Side Part 26.
After Leo left the Chat Room, the group fell into a complete silence, but it didn't take long for them to recover. They came with questions and left with more questions, which is really a helpless situation, but there's nothing to do about it.
The universe is always full of mysteries. How many people spend their entire lives and more to understand those secrets, yet the more they find, the more they'll understand how small they are and the road is still very long.
The current Chat's members aren't scientists or explorers, neither do they have the passion of those people, so at most, they want to understand the basics before acting.
Alas, at the end of the day, such subjects and phenomena related to the world's wills and other higher entities are really beyond their domain, no, it's beyond anything that isn't on the ranks of those entities or higher.
Even if they got some theories and understanding from a higher being(Leo), such knowledge without a base made them more confused, even if it cleared some questions, like what their presence can affect the world and a theoretical explanation to destiny.
"Now, what?" Kazuma scratched his head while looking at everyone in the room.
He asked casually, but for some reason, he felt a stubble change in the atmosphere as drops of sweat gathered on his forehead.
"What do we do now, you say?" Kaguya habitually covered her mouth with her sleeve, but Kazuma could still see the small smile on her face, which made him get a terrible feeling.
"From everything that happened, it seems our employer doesn't care much about what is happening, or maybe everything is under control. This is really a dilemma, what are we supposed to do, hmmm" Kaguya hummed slowly, but the more she's acting like this, the more Kazuma's sense of danger increased.
Even Misaka started to feel something wrong, but before they reacted, Kaguya waved her hand as several energy bullets appeared from thin air. Filling the sky above them like stars in the night, the bullets with different colors shone beautifully in this gray timeless place, but they were exuding a dangerous breath as they flew towards Lich(Crystal) leaving trails of light.
The bullets were filled with a lot of energy that made Whitebeard tighten his body because he felt a threat from them, but Kaguya seemed to have super control as all the bullets hit Lich(Crystal) directly,
However, when they hit Lich(Crystal), they melted like snow in the summer. Disappearing without raising any ripples, like they never existed, the bullets vanished while leaving sparks of colors that mostly disappeared, but a small amount froze in time.
"Hm, I knew it wouldn't work, then it seems that only the other approach is available" Looking at Lich(Crystal) safe and sound from an attack that would send Whitebeard into hospital easily, Kaguya still frowned when her speculation was confirmed.
Kazuma and Misaka stood in their place as they didn't find a word to say. The volume and size of that attack were enough to raze this place into the ground tens of times. What would happen if she couldn't control it?!
"Are you trying to murder us?!" Kazuma snapped as he screamed and Misaka looked at Kaguya with a questioning gaze.
Leone returned to the room after Leo logged out, but she stumbled into this scene. Looking at this farce, she felt like she should just wait outside, but then, she just sighed and walked toward them.
"Relax, I'm in full control" Kaguya waved her hand casually, indicating that she can freeze the attack or cancel it at any moment, so there was no danger.
"What are you trying to do?" Whitebeard stood up and asked with a frown. From what he understood, the World's Will needs that player, or at least this new version of him, but Kaguya is directly trying to destroy him.
"Me? I'm just doing the job that this Chat Room gave us. Is it strange?" Looking at them weirdly, Kaguya tilted her head like she's stating the obvious, and Whitebeard's question was the strange one.
"Doing the job that this Chat Room gave?... Do you mean?" Whitebeard frowned for a moment before glancing at Lich(Crystal).
Realizing what Kaguya meant, Whitebeard walked towards Lich(Crystal) while saying " Isn't this useless? We already tried a couple of times, unless you have a new way"
"But even so, isn't this going against what this World's will want? From what I got, it needs both sides" Whitebeard raised his naginata, which is filled with Quake-Quake Fruit's power before slamming it on top of Lich's(Crystal) head.
The situation with Kaguya's attack was repeated as Whitebeard's naginata stopped on top of Lich's head without causing any damage.
This is different from the frogs. The frogs are immune to most of his attacks, but they don't make them disappear, yet Lich(Crystal) gave him the feeling of a bottomless hole where all his strength vanished pointlessly.
"You know? We got enough riddles for today, can you just feel sorry for us and say things directly" Kazuma said with a blank face that seemed to be one step away from giving up on life and this whole situation.
"She meant that'll go and clear the rest of the remaining players, although I don't know how" Leone put her hand on Kazuma's shoulder and said with a low sigh.
"Oh, our original pointless quest?" Kazuma also sighed.
"Didn't that option fail badly and prove to be useless?" Misaka didn't notice that she rubbed the salt on the wound because all the members remembered the effort that they wasted on it.
"Yeah, even the World's Will said it's impossible, but… I had enough!!!" Kaguya threw away all the Princess of the Moon's image and screamed.
"This World's Will kept playing all the time with us and now it wants to play another game?! Go to die!" Releasing all her feelings, Kaguya started to breathe heavily for a moment before she calmed down. Yet, the Chat's members were speechless by this act, but they also relate to this.
"I don't know what changed after this World's Will achieved its goal, but do you know what? Fate, destiny? I don't want to understand anymore, I'll just do what is requested in this main mission, which is to find and destroy!" Kaguya's expression became completely serious and majestic, which would be more believable if they didn't see her previous breakdown just now.
"Then, what do you suggest as a solution for this impossible problem?" Whitebeard said calmly, but his raised grin showed that he already agreed.
"Impossible? Who said that? Ah, it's the World's Will, but why do you believe it? Where is the proof? What grantee that it isn't another mind play, so the World's Will can guide our thoughts to believe that the solution it has is the only option!?" Kaguya's words stuck like a hammer on the head of the chat's members.
The World's Will is tricking them again? Honestly, they can't deny what she just said, they even believe that it's very believable after all what they experienced.
"Let me ask again, how do you plan to do this?" Kazuma asked helplessly, but he has to admit that Kaguya's words are making too much sense.
"Nothing, we'll just act like ourselves. That's all" Seeing that they didn't understand, Kaguya sighed and explained more.
"Although this mission isn't easy, especially with the World's Will around, it isn't completely impossible. Kazuma, I have a confession to make" Kaguya said slowly as she looked at Kazuma seriously.
"A confession?" Kazuma asked, which made Kaguya nod and say " Considering this is your world, I was always trying to go easy on it, but now, everything has changed!"
"If the world is going to use us, then… we'll also use the world!" Kaguya spirit reached a very high state and it even started to infect the other members.
"Whitebeard! Didn't you want to make a guild? I remember its name was Whitebeard's guild" Kaguya said with a grin as Kazuma's expression became pale.
A wider grin appeared on Whitebeard's face before he said " Yeah, what about it?"
"We can start with that" With Kaguya's words, Whitebeard's grin turned into a loud laughter " Guahahaha!!"
"Oi, oi, wait a moment!" Kazuma tried to stop this, but Kaguya didn't stop and said " Leone, how much confidence do you have to not be detected by magical means?"
"Hmmm, I wouldn't say a lot with only my abilities, but I can use these Thief Job's skills to manage" Leone shrugged, which made Kaguya nod and say " I have the coordinates of the Capital, I want you to infiltrate there and gather as much as possible of information. No need to engage in any battle"
"Do I have any choice in this?" Leone sighed while lowering her hands helplessly, but Kaguya just lifted her eyebrow and said " Of course, you do, but I don't think you'll refuse"
"Well, I was getting bored lately" Leone raised her hands like surrendering, but her eyes seemed to carry a playful meaning of excitement.
"Misaka-san!" Kaguya said as Misaka reacted immediately because of the atmosphere and said " Yes!"
"I believe you can control your lightning very effectively, so you'll play a role in the 'convincing' aspect and I may need your help in something very important" Kaguya said with a smile, but Misaka rendered lost as she said " Convincing?"
"And you Kazuma!" Kaguya looked at the panicking Kazuma in the eyes before she smiled sweetly and said " You'll be in charge of some negotiation with some people"
"What? When?" Kazuma's brain short-circuited before he recovered and said " wait, wait, wait a goddamn moment! What are you trying to do and who I'm su- Don't ignore me!!"
Ignoring Kazuma's screams, Kaguya clenched her fist and said " No matter how much it'll take, even if rendered to chaos, we'll flip this world upside-down if it's needed!"
{Ah, this feeling is very good!} Kaguya has to admit that playing others' games is very annoying, unlike making our own, but they don't have that luxury, so they'll use the current rules and flip them over!
They'll throw this world's order into chaos and from that mess, they'll try and find a way to solve this problem because all the normal and orderly solutions didn't work. It's time to go casual!
"*Sigh* I'm really going to regret this." Kazuma gave up, but even so, he has to admit that this flaming atmosphere is affecting him.
He's just hoping that he'll not find his name in the world's most wanted criminals after this is over.
"I guess this is it. Hm? We have been in this time-stop too much that I forget about it" Kazuma noticed that the surroundings were still frozen, especially his frozen teammates.
Bumping his fist on his palm, Kazuma got an idea as he said " Do you still have that marker in your sleeve?"
"Yeah, but why?" Kaguya took the marker from her sleeve and gave it to Kazuma.
"Thanks, and don't worry. It'll not take long" Kazuma said with a smile before opening the marker and moving towards his party.
After a while, in the blank expression of the Chat's members, Kazuma closed the marker and gave it back to Kaguya before he said " Now, I feel better, yup, much better"
Aqua, Megumin, and Darkness all had weird scribbles on their faces and circles around their eyes, which was particularly funny.
"So, what about this?" Ignoring the judging eyes of everyone, Kazuma raised his own Chat screen and pointed to the file that Leo left.
"Hm? Don't mention that thing. Just by looking at it, you can feel the huge amount of gunpowder ready to blow up in our faces. This is a very dangerous act" Kaguya said solemnly like she really doesn't want to risk it.
However, Kazuma stared at her blankly and said " So, you're going to do it"
"Of course, I'm going to do it!" Kaguya said instantly and without a shred of hesitation!
She already had enough with this world, and she doesn't care if the nuclear bomb of Toaru and Type-Moon affect it.
"Then, we'll also do the last st-" Kazuma didn't finish his words before Kaguya raised her hand to stop him and said with a monotone voice " You know, we're not stupid"
"Yeah, I figured as much" Kazuma also nodded blankly before closing the Chat.
"But for you know, we also need this step to maximize the use of this world, and it also has a relation with the person, who you're going to negotiate with" Kaguya said with a smile, but her words raised a lot of questions.
"I didn't want to ask this at first, but who is this person?" Leone asked what was on Kazuma's mind, but Kaguya kept her smile and said " Let's say, dragons have their strict hierarchy, and the demons are not much different"
With that being said, Kaguya removed her power and the world returned to normal. Dullahan, and Kazuma's party, who recovered, felt strange because the positions of Chat's members changed instantly, especially because Whitebeard is next to Lich(Crystal).
"And this is it, let's go back everyone" Kaguya clapped her hands before floating away.
"Hah?! What do you mean? The demon king general is right here!" Aqua was the first one to react, but Kazuma grabbed her from behind and dragged her away " Wait, what are you doing Kazuma! Let me go!"
"Sorry, for all the inconvenience, I hope we didn't bother you Dullahan-san, have a nice day" Kazuma said with a smile while dragging the struggling Aqua away.
"Uhhh, um, no, don't worry about it" Dullahan didn't understand anything, so he answered instinctively.
"Much thanks. You two, stop bothering Dullahan-san and come with me!" Kazuma said to his party members, which rendered them speechless, even Darkness, who felt aroused by his screams, didn't have a word to say.
"Don't worry about it" Leone dragged both of them away with a smile.
"Let's go, we need to work quickly! I need to see some progress before that bastard(World's Will) contact us tomorrow!" Kaguya left quickly
"What was my role again?" Misaka said while following the group
"Hmmm" Whitebeard seemed to be in deep thoughts about his own guild.
"I'm regretting this already, and you useless goddess stop biting me!!" Kazuma dragged the struggling Aqua by force, which got him a bite on his hand.
"Let me go!!" Aqua was struggling.
"What is this thing on your face? Wait, what do you mean I have them too?!" Megumin found the funny drawings on Darkness' face, but Darkness answered her with the same question.
"..." Looking at this scene, Dullahan stood there in silence. Not until the voices went far away, he recovered slowly and raised his head.
The whole castle was almost destroyed, which allowed him to see the vast sky before he said in a small voice " What just happened?"
"What a bunch of weirdos, no, THEY ARE RETARDS!! I had enough, Axel is scary! I'm going back" Dullahan felt that he got a physiological shadow from this encounter as Lich(Crystal) tapped his shoulder.
And with this, the fight between the demon king's general and Chat's members ended in a 'peaceful' manner, which shows how civilized and peaceful both sides are. They are really wonderful role models that everyone should follow, yes, indeed.
