The Mimic General

First Lesson

Location : Hotel Paradise, Beyond City, Universe Null

That was a nice vacation. Though it sucks that it had to end early. That what I get when I took the job. Any way here we are again another chapter though this time as you can tell I'm in a new location. I will tell you more but first onto the story.

Opening: Konosuba

POV: Mikael

'I swear how long can they keep this up' thinking to myself as Kazuma and Aqua bickering back and forth over the recent events. 'I mean what was I suppose to do' continuing as recalling the previous event. 

A few hour ago

It was silent as I carried on Megumin on my back as Kazuma and Aqua trailed behind, we walked through town to the adventures guild to report the quest. It had been like this for a while now after I put in my request to join their party. Deciding to break the tension and with Megumin still passed out form her magic, I decided to ask Kazuma "So Kazuma, where are you from?" he looks at me before answer "Chiba." "Nice I'm from Kyoto myself" telling him as a reply. 

We continue to make small talk as we made our way to the guild. Over that small amount of time I learnt thing about Kazuma and vice verses. It turn out he was a shut in who gave up on school and spent most of his time playing game, though I could tell their was more to his story, I was going to force him to tell me. He learnt about my home life. Though it got annoying when we reached the topic of how we got here and Aqua decided to butt in. Apparently Kazuma had died thinking he was hit by a truck while saving a girl while in reality it was a tractor.  Aqua laughed her head off as she told the story. 

I felt pity for Kazuma as he was going to be constantly remind of his death any time Aqua felt like it. Then a thought came to me 'Wait what is Aqua doing here.' It made no sense for her to be here as she was a goddess so she should still remain in limbo waiting for the next soul that passes on. 'Well there is one answer to that. I need to check' making up my mind, asking Kazuma "So what gift to you go for when they reincarnated you." Both Kazuma and Aqua looked at each other before he responded "Her" pointing at Aqua. 'Yeah now it makes sense'  receiving the answer as it made sense since it was never you had to pick one of the option when picking your gift. This also caused me to chuckle slightly at the karma Aqua had received.

We finally arrive at our destination and turn in the quest straight away. I opted out of a share of the reward since I already had a good amount of Eris on me that I gained over the years. Kazuma then offered to buy me dinner as thanks which I agreed to but not before dropping the "No Homo" comment. Kazuma simply shrugged it off so we decide to sit and discuss matters such as whether or not I was in the party.

"Right, Kazuto. While I accept you joining us I need to know. Are you sure you want to join our party" he question with a serious look on his face. Staring back at him responding "Yes. I need to stick by my student as well as my skill i have from being here ten years could help you." Thinking for a moment he declared "You know then our goal is defeat the Demon King. And since you have been here that long you should know how difficult that is going to be." There it was my ultimatum, since I was a demon general my loyalty was to the king yet by joining this party it was inevitable that a conflict would arise as I would have choose a side. "I'm aware. It is the task most reincarnation were given" telling while being aware of three previous people who were brought here. Two of which were already dead.

"Hold on a minute" Aqua then spoke up. "If you have been here ten year how come you haven't defeated him yet" question me. I looked down for a minute before making up my mind "The reason I haven't done so yet is because I'm one of his generals." Both looked flabbergasted as I revealed my secret to them. "WHAT" Aqua bellowed "YOUR A DEMON GENERAL." It was lucky that most of the occupants were busy getting drunk or there was no telling how much attention. "Yes" I said "Been one for about six years now."
