Post-apocalyptic explosions (Reader x Megumin story)

Chapter 16-Lake date

I woke up in bed with one arm wrapped around Megumin and the other wrapped around my sheathed sword. 

So... last night was really weird.

After the assassin jumped off the top of the keep, the guards and I descended down the stairs with torches and found the assassin dead with a broken neck and a damaged head. He killed himself in order to not get caught. The king also arrived at the scene and he pondered over the incident, he was surprised the assassin managed to enter the keep.

But soon enough we found the corpse of a guard with his head cut off hidden behind a bush and we soon understood the assassin was really patient and dragged the guard's body all the way behind a bush from the keep's doors. The guard was going to have a funeral in his honor the next day.

When I returned back to the keep, Megumin was calm and confident. In fact, I didn't need to calm her down at all, as she was proud of me. In order to feel more relaxed, I slept close to her with my sword in hand just to make sure we're both safe.

Is it her chuuni personality or her boastful attitude that makes her ignore the gravity of the situation? I didn't get to kiss her last night tho.

I moved out of the bed gently, making sure that I did not wake Megumin up and attached the scabbard with the sword inside to my belt.

I was about to leave the room but then I heard Megumin mumble something in her sleep.

"Explosion..."

I became curious and I turned back and crouched beside the bed in order to hear her better.

"Chomusuke, you furball... I don't have any eris... Y/n..."

She said my name during sleep!

That made me feel really good. I started fantasizing about a lot of things and my mind went from place to place.

So, we're going to that guy Theophilus, then I will find father with his help, then I will go to her world through that portal, I will get her parents' approval and I will take her as my wife!

"Y/n, why are you staring at me in my sleep?"

Megumin woke up and I didn't realize that, she was looking at me like one would look at a weirdo. Her half-closed eyes were fixed on me.

I panicked and I quickly scrambled for an answer.

"A-ah, I just wanted to guard you in your sleep so nothing bad happens this morning like it happened last night."

"So, you're guarding me by closely watching me, with your back to the open door?" Megumin asked

"Open door!?" I was startled

I turned around and I saw that I left the door to our room open.

"Don't do things like that ever again!" Megumin chastised me. "Don't you know you are raising some flags that way? The guards that have their back on the enemy always get killed with stealth."

And with that, she got out of her bed, put on her boots, hat and cape and took the staff in her hand.

We went outside of our room, walked down the stairs and in the throne room we encountered commander Cornelius.

"Good morning!" he greeted us.

"Good morning" we said back.

"Are the legionnaires training today?" I asked him

"No, today's Sunday. Soon, we'll all go to church and after that Ivan will depart with some troops to Ghoulparadise. Then one of the priests is going to do the funeral for the family of the dead guard."
