Where we last left off

Kazuma: So what you're saying is, we can open up a path to the Demon King's castle by defeating all of his leaders? Is that right?

He asks a very cooperative and eager Wiz.

Wiz: *nod* Yes, yes! That's correct! That is what the Demon King asked of me!

Wiz: He said he wouldn't stop me from quietly managing my shop in a human settlement, and only asked if I could help maintain the barrier as one of his leaders.

Aqua: So in other words, humans can't invade the Demon King's castle as long as you're around?

She then cracks her knuckles with not nice intent.

Aqua: Kazuma, let's eliminate her.

Wiz: Wait! Please wait! Let me live a little while longer!

Hearing Wiz in trouble again, Y/n pops his head out from the backrooms.

Y/n: Are we really doing this twice?

Immediately, Aqua is panicked but Kazuma shakes his head and places his hand on Aqua's shoulder.

Kazuma: Nope, I'm keeping a close eye on her, Y/n.

Y/n: You better be.

He dips back out of view, Aqua audibly sighs with relief.

Aqua: Y'know...I could easily break a simple barrier....

Kazuma: Even if we broke the barrier right now, we can't defeat the Demon King at our current levels.

Kazuma: I mean, Y/n probably could all by himself, but I wanna fight him too. But if we were the one's to try, we'd immediately lose our heads.

Aqua: Okay, fine.

Wiz repeatedly bows gratefully.

Wiz: T-Thank you very much!

Kazuma: But uh, are you okay with this? I mean, don't you resent us for defeating Verdia?

He directly asked for her opinions.

Wiz: Well, it's not as if I was particularly close to Verdia-san, or anything. Whenever I would walk around...

A brief Wiz flashback

In a dimly lit hallway, Wiz was minding her own business while she wandered.

*Clunk*

Verdia: Oh whoopsie!

Verdia's head rolled down and directly slipped underneath Wiz's robes where he could clearly see her...assets. He began to make weird noises.

Verdia: Hehe...my hand slipped!

Wiz backs away and looks down the dark hallway to her left where his head came from and sees his main body striking a bowler's pose. The sounds of laughter escaped Verdia's lips.

Verdia: Strike! In so many ways, a total strike!

Brief and disturbing flashback end

A blushing Wiz finishes her traumatic retelling of dullahan sexual harrassment.

Y/n: "Upstanding knight" huh?

The three jump at his voice, Y/n appeared without a sound or any presence, like a whole ass ninja.
