Kazuma - Failed mission

Kazuma POV

Kazuma here. I have been in this new world for a few months now. A goddess gave me the mission to defeat the Demon Lord, and she also provided me a cheat skill, an over power skill that will help me defeat the Demon King. I have very strong companions with me, and the best is that I had my small Harem with me.

Or that's what I wanted to say. In reality, I am stuck with a good-for-nothing goddess. A Mage, an archmage no less, with tremendous power, but she only uses one speel, and all her mana is depleted after that one use. And a Paladin, who can not hit anything, even if it is big and immobile. The worse part is their personalities.

Although I have to admit that it is thanks to them that things are getting better. Now I am living in a mansion. But I do not know if the mansion is worthy of the problems the three of them give me. Still, better than sleeping in a barn.

Now, enough of the background. Right now, I should be writing this to explain the current situation.

Well, it all started when we went to check for a new mission. We were running out of Erises thanks to a certain drunk goddess.

Surpassingly, no mission was available. Although we already defeat Beldia, there is still a small number of monsters. It can be that it will take time for the monsters, that are not with the demon monster, to come back.

So, we took the only mission available for us. "Slay Giant Toads". Yes: "Slay Giant Toads". The same mission I had when I first arrived. Without counting the jobs of hard labor that is.

Shouldn't be that hard, I thought. All the other missions were too risky to take and to be honest, I was still in doubt to take this one. If I went on the mission alone, Aqua would go and find a way to get into more debt. So I decided to go only with her, then Megumin said something about getting revenge on her fated enemy. When I was telling Megumin that she should stay behind because she would pass out after one spell, like the last time, Darkness appeared and said that she will protect Megumin and that she will become her meat shield.

In the end, the whole party was in the plains outside Axel, again. But if I remember correctly, this should be the first time we are doing thins with Darkness. With that in mind, this might work. If I can do that, somehow Aqua can be of help, and Darkness can do something decent. Maybe if we work together, we can gather all the toads together, and then use Megumin's "explosion" to defeat them in one go.

That would be the best curse of action. Unfortunately, once one Giant Toad appeared, Darkness put herself in front and got herself eaten by the Giant Toad. So, I ran to save her.

When I was cutting the Toad with my sword, I heard an explosion. Megumin already used her spell of the day. Now my plan is all ruined.

When I finally defeated the Giant Toad, I saw another two of them. A blue Giant Toad was eating Aqua. I asked Darkness to take care of Megumin. And I ran to save Aqua.

While I was cutting the blue Giant Toad, I heard Darkness's sword. Her clashing with something. Normally you won't be hearing that if you are hitting a giant toad. Now I am worried.

I was way too tired. And getting suffocated. Then I turn to see Darkness. She was almost crying. Then she said that Megumin was eaten by the black and white toad. So I tried to save her.

I went and attacked the Toad and defeated it. It took me longer than the other two. And the most disgusting thing was that I had to open its stomach to take out Megumin.

Problem. Megumin was not breathing.

Another problem. When I put my ear in her chest I did not hear any heartbeats.
