A New Life For This NEET And This Explosion Maniac

Chapter 1 : Private Moments

Megumin's dream :

I was there, standing alone in a dark room where no light was in sight. I was walking in the dark towards any direction, trying to get out of the darkness. It felt like I was walking for hours or even days before I could see a small spot of light in the distance.

Finally, somewhere to go, I will finally see the light at the end of the dark tunnel. As I ran towards the lights, it felt like I wasn't getting closer at all. Even that, it looked like it was getting further away from me.

"No. Don't get away from me. I need to get out of this dark place. I can't stay here forever."

As I said that, the light was gone. I was alone again in complete darkness with nothing and no one around me.

I was beginning to cry while I was kneeling down on the ground. 'I don't want to be alone' I said repetitively in my head, 'I wish there was someone here with me so this person could protect me from the dangers around me' but no one was there. I started to cry again, I was crying so loud I could hear my echoed voice in all directions.

I began to lose hope, but then something felt wrong. I was convinced that all of this was just in my head, and I was probably just having a horrible nightmare. So I tried really hard to wake myself up, but nothing happened. It's like I was stuck in a dream, and I couldn't escape it. I was desperate. I knew nothing could help to get me out of this situation.

"If only Kazuma was here with me, maybe he could do something to try to wake me up." I said out loud.

But then I felt something touching me. It felt like a hand was grabbing my shoulder, trying to get my attention. I turned back to see who was there, and to my surprise, Kazuma was standing there right in front of me. I couldn't believe my eyes. He was really there. Maybe he is here to save me from this nightmare.

I went to hug him before he could say anything. All I needed was him to reassure me and to protect me in this dark world we currently are.

"Kazuma!!! I can't believe you're here with me. I'm so glad to see you, I really missed you. It's so scary out there in the dark."

He didn't say anything back at me. He remained silent. It was a bit weird, but I'm glad he was there with me.

"Kazuma? Are you here to help me get out of this place? I really want to go back in our mansion, in the bed with you like we do often. Hey! Are you listening to what I'm saying to y—hmph!!!" I got interrupted by him putting his finger on my lips just to make me stop talking.

He then started to look at me. His look wasn't the one I'm used to. It feels different than usual, like if it's not the Kazuma I know and love. He was staring at me, especially at my body, for quite some times and he was making me feel a bit uneased.

"Kazuma? Why are you staring at me like that? Is there something you want to ask me or what's going on?" Still, no answers from him. This situation was scaring me for some reason. I never see him like that. He is never the kind of person who's stays silent all the time.

Without any hesitation, he got closer to my face, and then he... kissed me. He was holding me so close to him that I couldn't even escape his embrace. We kept kissing like that for about 15 seconds before we pulled away to catch our breath. I was a little bit surprised at first, but I did not hate that, I liked it, actually. Kazuma was never that confident about us kissing, but this time, it felt like he always knew how to kiss a girl. Who was this Kazuma?

I could feel my face getting red from that kiss. It really did turn me on. It was so exciting to finally do things like that with my boyfriend, but I knew this wasn't really real. It's just a dream, but it's also an exciting dream that I wish I could stay here more.
