Bab 7: "Sheโs kinda soft tooโฆ"
This story is Fanfiction, and I don't own ๐๐ผ๐ป๐ผ๐๐๐ฏ๐ฎ!, if I did, Aqua would be even more useless. ๐๐ผ๐ป๐ผ๐๐๐ฏ๐ฎ! Is owned by ๐ฆ๐๐๐ฑ๐ถ๐ผ ๐๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ป and ๐ก๐ฎ๐๐๐๐บ๐ฒ ๐๐ธ๐ฎ๐๐๐๐ธ๐ถ.

The rolling plains outside of Axel were as green as ever, the swamp barely visibly behind the treeline.
Well, a little more green than usual.
"It's been a day. ๐ ๐ฅ๐ข๐บ. Where the ๐ง๐ถ๐ค๐ฌ did they come from?! I refuse to believe they already had kids!" I started yelling in frustration. That's not how pregnancies work you fucking toads!
"While Jenny has her mental breakdown over there, how about you show us what you can do" Kazuma lazily stated, looking over to Megumin.
"Okay!" Megumin animatedly got up and grabbed her staff, waving it in a circular motion, "๐ฟ๐๐ง๐ ๐ฃ๐๐จ๐จ ๐๐ก๐๐๐ ๐๐ง ๐ฉ๐๐๐ฃ ๐๐ก๐๐๐ , ๐๐ฃ๐ ๐๐๐ง๐ ๐๐ง ๐ฉ๐๐๐ฃ ๐๐๐ง๐ , ๐ ๐๐๐จ๐๐๐๐ ๐ฉ๐๐๐, ๐๐ค๐ข๐๐๐ฃ๐ ๐ฌ๐๐ฉ๐ ๐ข๐ฎ ๐๐๐๐ฅ ๐๐ง๐๐ข๐จ๐ค๐ฃ. ๐๐๐ ๐ฉ๐๐ข๐ ๐ค๐ ๐๐ฌ๐๐ ๐๐ฃ๐๐ฃ๐ ๐๐ค๐ข๐๐ฉ๐. ๐ ๐ช๐จ๐ฉ๐๐๐, ๐๐๐ก๐ก๐๐ฃ ๐ช๐ฅ๐ค๐ฃ ๐ฉ๐๐ ๐๐ฃ๐๐๐ก๐ก๐๐๐ก๐ ๐๐ค๐ช๐ฃ๐๐๐ง๐ฎ, ๐๐ฅ๐ฅ๐๐๐ง ๐ฃ๐ค๐ฌ ๐๐จ ๐๐ฃ ๐๐ฃ๐ฉ๐๐ฃ๐๐๐๐ก๐ ๐๐๐จ๐ฉ๐ค๐ง๐ฉ๐๐ค๐ฃ! ๐ฟ๐๐ฃ๐๐, ๐ฟ๐๐ฃ๐๐, ๐ฟ๐๐ฃ๐๐!" ""Revolution!"" both me and Kazuma shouted together, "๐ ๐๐๐จ๐๐ง๐ ๐๐ค๐ง ๐ข๐ฎ ๐ฉ๐ค๐ง๐ง๐๐ฃ๐ฉ ๐ค๐ ๐ฅ๐ค๐ฌ๐๐ง ๐ ๐๐๐จ๐ฉ๐ง๐ช๐๐ฉ๐๐ซ๐ ๐๐ค๐ง๐๐: ๐ ๐๐๐จ๐ฉ๐ง๐ช๐๐ฉ๐๐ซ๐ ๐๐ค๐ง๐๐ ๐ฌ๐๐ฉ๐๐ค๐ช๐ฉ ๐๐ฆ๐ช๐๐ก! ๐๐๐ฉ๐ช๐ง๐ฃ ๐๐ก๐ก ๐๐ง๐๐๐ฉ๐๐ค๐ฃ ๐ฉ๐ค ๐๐๐ฃ๐๐๐ง๐จ, ๐๐ฃ๐ ๐๐ค๐ข๐ ๐๐ง๐ค๐ข ๐ฉ๐๐ ๐๐๐ฎ๐จ๐จ!" She shouted, "Burst forth, ๐๐ซ๐ฃ๐๐ข๐ข๐ข๐ข๐ข๐ฆ๐๐ข๐ก!"
And the meadow was engulfed in a bright orange glow.
"Holy shit!" Kazuma yelled, not ready for the sheer scale of the spell, "You got that right bud" I muttered to myself.
"Hey, Megu- ๐๐๐๐ช๐ข๐๐ฃ?! Are you all right?!" I practically yelled after I watched Megumin collapse.
Despite the fact she has ๐ค๐ญ๐ฆ๐ข๐ณ๐ญ๐บ faceplanted onto the grass, she continues to speak, "Because I use the most powerful magic known to Archwizards, I often experience backlash from my overuse of mana."
"So in short, you become useless for half a day?" I asked dryly, my eye twitching.
"๐บ๐ฆ๐ดโฆ" She mumbled in shame.
I just sighed, "You're lucky you're cute." I could just ๐ง๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ญ the heatwaves from that blush. "Hey Kazu, have you seen Aqua?" He gained a pensive look, "... Not a damn clu- ("AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!") โฆ ๐ฏ๐ฆ๐ท๐ฆ๐ณ๐ฎ๐ช๐ฏ๐ฅ, I think I know." He glanced to his far left, and there was Aqua.
Being trailed by three Toads.
Kazuma starts going paler the more irritated I get.
๐๐ฎ ๐ ๐ณ๐ฆ๐ข๐ญ๐ญ๐บ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ข๐ต ๐ด๐ค๐ข๐ณ๐บ?
-<[๐ผ๐, ๐พ๐ง๐๐ฅ!]>-
"Kazuma!" I irritatedly whispered, "Next time, fucking ๐ค๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ค๐ฌ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐ฒ๐ถ๐ฆ๐ด๐ต!" He looked irritated as well, "How the hell was I supposed to know?! I know about their damn mating season, but not the amount!"
I just turned and huffed. Nothing I say'll get to him. I swear people who lived in the 2010's were just built different!
"Does this mean I passed?" Megumin suddenly asks, while riding piggyback, Kazuma shoots me a look, "Do I say yes? No? The fuck do I do jenny?!" He starts whispering furiously. "Say yes dumbass! She's like a glass cannon, but better! She's our trump card. No one expects the small one to be dangerous!" I shot back, aski- no, demanding she is put into the party.
"๐๐ฉ๐ฆ'๐ด ๐ฌ๐ช๐ฏ๐ฅ๐ข ๐ด๐ฐ๐ง๐ต ๐ต๐ฐ๐ฐโฆ" I muttered, feeling her thighs on my hands. Though, after that sentence escaped my mouth, I could feel the heat.
Heh, guess she's weak to compliments.
Kazuma's eyes just twitched, and then he released a small sigh, "Fine. Welcome to the party Megumin, you'll see us at the guild tomorrow, cause we got to wash up."
"Mhm" I nodded, and I had a thought. An Idea of a downright devious design.
"Hey, Megumin?" She looks at me, lifting her head from my shoulder, "Mm?" she acknowledged it with a murmur.
"Wanna bunk at my place? Because something tells me you've been without cash for a whileโฆ Is that alright with you?"
A surge of emotions flashed across her face. Not sure which ones, but at least one of them was something saucy.
Don't think I didn't see that blush little lady!
"I-...๐๐ต'๐ด... ๐๐ต'๐ด ๐ง๐ช๐ฏ๐ฆ ๐ ๐จ๐ถ๐ฆ๐ด๐ด" She mumbled into my shoulder. "Hey, Megumin? Your face is kinda red, did the Toad saliva give you a cold?" I asked, completely aware of her sputtering.
"Wuh-N-It-No, I'm fine!" She practically yelled in embarrassment.
I just shook my head, "Well Megumin, it's gonna feel a little weird, so please try to hold in any vomit, I rather like my coat." Even if it's covered in Toad spit, because that stuff can come out.
"What do you mean weir-"
And with a mental tap, I pressed the blue icon on my HUD, and everything went white.
*๐๐๐๐๐!*
-<[๐ผ๐, ๐พ๐ง๐๐ฅ!]>-
"-d- *๐จ๐ฅ๐ฃ!*"
"...heh?" I muttered in confusion.
She burped. I'm sorry, but last time I checked, everyone's first-time teleport almost always involved someone vomiting.
Does the difference in magical ability change that? Or is she accustomed to teleports? Maybe she- Wait, stop! You can theorize later, attend to your party member!
I took hold of the small lady, and placed her on the ground, "You feelin' Alright? You look a little queasyโฆ"
She gave me an unamused glare, "You're lucky I'm an Archwizard, and not some newbie either. If I couldn't handle a Teleport I wouldn't even be here. But what kinda Teleport was that? I didn't feel any Mana Signatures or signs of distortion?" She's an explosion mage, but anyone would admit the usefulness of a Teleporter.
A smirk graced my fangs, "That, my dear little Explosion mage, was my very own personal teleporter, made with nothing but technology! A miracle of phenomenon and science!" She blushed.
But she soon gained a curious look, "But how does it work? Most teleport magics need the signature of the caster's mana to function, let alone puncture a hole through the 'Blind'"
"๐ฐ๐, ๐ธ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ธ๐ ๐ธ ๐๐ก๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐. ๐ณ๐๐๐'๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐ข๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ข ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐น๐๐๐๐ข" Alias piped in, shoving herself into the conversation.
I shook my head, "It was more of a coincidence really. We put out an ad, and she was the only one to come. We gave her a test, she passed and didn't have a place to stay. And no we're here."
She raised an eyebrow, "๐๐๐๐๐โฆ"
I scoff, "Hey! Just because I'm pent u-! ๐'๐ฎ changing topics now. I'm~ going to go get the guest rooms ready, You two can have your chat. See ya!" After I said my piece, I left, but not before Megumin gave me a lazy wave.
โฆ
"And these are the guest rooms!" I gestured to the open hatch, leading into a nicely furnished hallway, with wood flooring and everything!"
I know your sister-" Oh, Alias told her? "Told me that this was your ship, but I've been wondering, what kind of ship is this?"
"Wellโฆ" I tried hiding my smug smile, but I think she saw it, and turned to point at the conveniently placed starship window, "That kind"
Her jaw ๐ฅ๐ณ๐ฐ๐ฑ๐ฑ๐ฆ๐ฅ, "How- Where- How?!" She started shaking me by the shoulders, "All it really took was some crazy guy with a fetish for space. Then people copied him." I joked.
She wasn't impressed.
"Just pick a room, those-" I pointed to the intercom, "Will let you get to me if you need anything. Just press the red button." She nodded.
"See ya in the morn'n Megumin!" She nods, and says "G'night" and yawned before the door shuts closed.
๐โ๐๐๐๐ฆ ๐๐๐๐!
