Idiots Love Explosions?

Chapter 1

Kazuma was laying on their couch, lazing around when Megumin called out to him from behind a corner.

"K- Kazuma, can you help me with my explosions today?"

He looked at her with a confused face, "Wasn't Aqua and Darkness with you?"

She recoiled back a bit and started shaking.

"Oi, what happened."

"No- nothing at all," She said as she looked started avoiding eye contact.

"If you don't tell me, we're gonna go fight toads again."

"Eeehhh?! No!"

Then tell me, you damn loli, he thought to himself as she started fidgeting. A cold sweat dropped down neck as he walked towards her, he looked her straight in the eyes and started doing very 'peculiar' hand movements.

He moved in closer, until he heard a loud knock from their door.

I don't think I ordered anything? And why would Aqua and Darkness have to knock? He thought as he was about to answer the door. As he opened the door he saw a woman, "Is Megumin inside?" She asked.

"Uhh... who are you?"

She smiled at him, "I'm the best healer there is in the world, Iashtai. Surely, you've heard of me?" The woman had dark skin, amber eyes and long, purple hair.

"Nope," He answered in the most bluntest way humanely possible.

The woman's face changed to a face full of shock, "H- how?! Has any of your party members died?"

He nodded, "Yep, me, 2 times now."

"Then how are you still alive?!"

"We have a godd- a healer in our party, she's revived me tw- three times now. Her name's Aqua."

"Aqua?" She laughed as she heard her name, "That worthless priest? Don't make me laugh, she can't possibly revive anybody. She's barely got anything in her INT stat."

"Why are you here?"

"Ah yes, I'm here to find a girl named Megumin."

What's that loli done this time, "Yep, she's just right over there," He pointed at a corner where Megumin was watching their whole conversation.

Iashtai dashed towards her almost instantly. Megumin shrieked as she was grabbed. She struggled for a couple of minutes before giving up.

"I believe your name is Kazuma? Follow me."

They entered a group mansion, almost similar to theirs.

Who thought there were other mansions here? He thought as he saw two familiar figures lying down, almost like they were dead, on a couch.

He looked at the woman and asked, "What's Aqua and Darkness doing here, and why do they look so dead?"

She started explaining while Megumin's face started sweating a ton.

"That Aqua girl over there, she tried stealing from our party while we were trying to kill a horde of monsters."

Did you burn them in a fire or something woman?! They look like they're on the verge of dying!

"Anyway, what I can only assume is a miss-communication, this girl cast an explosion spell on them while trying to steal our supplies. The weird thing is, that girl covered in armor, she charged straight-in when the explosion spell was cast."

That damn masochist!

"Anyway, if you want us to heal them, you'll have to pay us."

Wait, wait, wait. Does this girl actually expect me to pay her? We have a healer that's maxed out.

"No thanks, I'll just bring them back home."

"That priest can't move her body, by the way."

"..." What a useless goddess.

Do I even dare ask how much it costs?

"Don't worry though, it's only costs a million eris.

Okay then, never mind. I'll just pay her- wait. One million eris for healing?

"Come again?"

"Only one million eris."

"Y'know what? I'll just do some jobs real quick, can you give Megumin back?"

"You'll have to pay me 20,000 eris."

He looked at her, dead in the eyes, literally- just in the eyes so hard and asked, "Why?"

"This girl almost killed someone in my party, good thing I set up a protective bubble."

Couldn't you just heal them, you shitty priest?!

"F- fine," He said as he handed her the money.

"We'll take care of these two while you try to get us some money. Off you go now."

Before he left he looked at Darkness one last time, steam was coming out from her mouth, she was enjoying this.

Goddamn masochist is enjoying herself! He thought as he dragged Megumin out.

"Alright Megumin, we're in big fucking trouble now because of you."

She didn't respond, she simply looked down and started shaking.

"Oi, don't think I'm gonna go easy on you just because you're a loli," He said, trying to get a reaction out of her.

Hmm... no reaction? That's weird. Whatever.

They made their way over to the Guild to find a quest, "Megumin, wanna try clearing a horde of wolves? It's gonna pay us for 20,000 eris. Megumin? Hello?"

"Kazuma, how can I apologize?" She asked as her face was covered with red.

In his eyes, she looked cute and innocent.
