Inside the mansion Aqua, with a red bump on her head, is stitching up Kazuma's tracksuit and she sneezes. Smaug is laying face down the ground with Megumin and her cat next to her; a box create sits between the two.

"My, oh my, are you catching a cold?" Kazuma asks with a smile. "Take care, now."

"You're sounding pretty nasal yourself, Kazuma-san." Aqua points out with a smile. "I'll hurry and fix this tracksuit for you." 

"You're the one who threw it in the fireplace, thought." Aqua's stomach growls. "My, oh my, feeling hungry?"

"Actually, I guess I haven't eaten breakfast yet." 

"You're the one who got carried away and spent all our money on booze, thought."

Aqua's stomach growls again, then she turns around to look at Kazuma as she cries. "But... everyone was having so much fun partying!"

Kazuma holds up a bottle of wine.

Aqua stares at Kazuma in horror. "That looks like the fancy bubbly I had hidden under my bed..."

Megumin and Chomusuke just stare at the two, and Smaug's tail watches with interest as Smaug keeps her face planted on the floor as a snore is heard from her.

"I wonder if the pawn shop's open..." Kazuma questions outloud.

Megumin pats her lap. "Come here, Chomusuke." And the cat jumps into her lap.

"Give it back!" Aqua yells and she tries to grab the bottle, but Kazuma keeps her back with one hand. "That's my last bottle! It's my last hope!"

"I'm gonna go trade it for cash right now!" Kazuma yells.

Smaug's head shoots up. "Someone say cash?" She blinks a few times before face planting the floor again and falls back asleep.

"And if I can't, I'll just drink it all right here! Maybe that would warm me up a little!"

Aqua tugs on Kazuma's shirt. "Don't! I can't fall asleep if I'm not holding that bottle"

"You're making demands like that after burning my tracksuit?!" Kazuma yells. "You ought to go sell that raiment, too!" He pushes Aqua away and tries to grab at her scarf.

Aqua turns her body away and holds onto her scarf. "What are you saying?! This raiment is part of my identity as a goddess! There's no way I can sell it! Are you stupid? Why are you being so stupid?!"

Kazuma holds the palm of his hand out towards Aqua. "STEAL!" His hand glows for a few seconds, before dying down to reveal Aqua's scarf in his hand.

Aqua cries out and she grabs Kazuma. "Kazuma-sama! I'm sorry for getting carried away, so please stop!"

"Shut up! We haven't repaid any of our debt and Darkness still isn't back! You should be more concerned about that!"
