Y/N and Kazuma were sitting in a prison cell, Kazuma hugging his knees and Y/N just hitting his head against the wall softly. Kazuma had tears in his eyes, while Y/N just looked depressed.

Kazuma: "I wanna go back to Japan..."

Y/N: "I wanna die."

Kazuma: "Why do we have to be in jail? We saved lives, man."

Y/N: "I wanna die."

Kazuma: "Say something else, will you?"

Y/N: "No."

Kazuma: 'This guy.'

Why were they sitting in a prison cell? Well, let me tell you.

Some hours earlier

?: "I'm Sena, the public prosecutor assigned by the kingdom. Adventurers Satou Kazuma and Y/N L/N, you both are under arrest as suspects of being subversive to the state."

Y&K: "Huh?!"

The party had gone to the guild in hopes of getting a reward for the destruction of the Destroyer, but no. Instead, they're getting arrested.

Aqua: "Kazuma, Y/N! What'd you two do this time?!"

Kazuma: "The hell you mean this time?! We didn't do anything!"

Aqua: "Doesn't matter! Apologize! Look, I'll apologize with you, so apologize!"

Y/N: "Shut up, blue thing! Why should we apologize?! We didn't do anything!"

Sena: "The coronatite that was teleported at the instruction of you two completely destroyed the residence of a lord. Thankfully, there were no fatalities, but you two are still suspected to be terrorists or working for the Demon King."

Oh boy. Y/N and Kazuma, completely shocked, couldn't say anything.

Megumin: "Hold on a second, please. If not for Y/N and Kazuma, there would have been countless casualties in the fight against the Destroyer."

Y/N: "Megumin..." 'I have such a great bestie.'

Megumin: "Besides, Y/N hasn't committed any crimes. The one committing crimes is Kazuma. And they're just minor ones, like sexual harassment."

Kazuma: "Oi."

Y/N: "Haha."

Darkness: "Miss Prosecutor, there must some kind of a mistake here."

Kazuma: "Darkness..."

Darkness: "These men lack the guts for such an act. I could argue that Y/N doesn't even have guts. While Kazuma eyes me like a wild beast eyeing their prey in our mansion, Y/N always looks at me with a certain amount of respect. And while Kazuma treats me like eye candy, he is, unfortunately, the kind of lowlife sadsack who never once came to my room at night."

Kazuma: "I-I don't eye you like that! N-Nor do I treat you like eye candy! Why're you protecting Y/N but not me?!"

Y/N: "Cuz I'm a better human being."

Kazuma: "... B-Besides, you're just cocky cuz your body happens to be slightly sexy! I have the right to be selective!"

You're just digging your own grave, man.

Darkness: "Y-You... You say that after all the things you made me do in the bath?!"

Kazuma: "Y-Yeah! I was being controlled by a succubus, you idiotic masochist! You're the one who should be blamed, since you went along with it and did what I told you to do! You're easy! Way too easy!"
