They accepted a quest where they would kill a pack of hungry wolves, it was an easy quest and it would pay 20,000 eris, so he thought, "Why not?" Which was a mistake.

It was a cave, a rather dark cave to be exact. But he already knew this was gonna happen so he bought a torch with him. Megumin walked into the cave, nonchalantly as if it was normal for her, "Come on, Kazuma!" She announced.

He began to follow behind her, "Isn't it a little too quiet?" He thought as he started to look around. Bones, some meat and even some dead wolves were in the cave. Little holes that could fit a body or two were also in the cave, though there were no bodies, he didn't think it'd stay that way for long. He felt a chill down his spine as he felt a sudden breeze of wind, as he turned around he saw the wolves, not just a couple though, over 30 were about to enter the cave.

He then suddenly put out the fire to his torch, grabbed Megumin, and the two of them jumped into the hole that was far from sight.

All right then, we'll hide here until the wolves start going out again. Then, we'll blow them all up with Megumin's explosion, as he thought this, he felt Megumin squirming about. The hole didn't really have much space, it could barely fit the two of them, so she was struggling to find a spot that wasn't too uncomfortable. Eventually, then found a awkward but also comfortable spot. They were basically laying down next to each other.

"Megumin, stop. You're kicking me," He said in a very quiet tone.

"How about you try moving then?!"

"Stupid loli, you think I can?!"

20 minutes had passed and the wolves were still there.

"Kazuma."

"What?"

She then pulled her hat closer, covering her face, "I need to go."

He looked at her with a derpy expression on his face, "Wait, wait, wait. You can't just go now. Please, please, just please hold it in."

She then looked at him, "I'll try."

As she looked at him, he felt her warm breath.

Damn it, this loli's making me excited, what's happening right now?!

After an event that Kazuma would rather never remember ever again, like, really, never-ever again. Megumin then started becoming drowzy, "Kazuma, I don't feel so good," She said as she closed her eyes.

"Wait, Megumin, please tell me you're not being serious..." No response.

THIS GODDAMN LOLI JUST FEEL ASLEEP RIGHT NEXT TO ME. GAHHH! Okay, calm down. This is fine, this is absolutely fine.

He then felt her warm breath yet again.

OKAY, OKAY, NOT FINE, DEFINITELY NOT FINE.

He then noticed how hot the surrounding area actually was, the only thing keeping them "cool" was the little hole, "She fell asleep because of the heat?!"

A thought then popped up into his head. Wait a minute, I forgot about my skill...

He slightly shook Megumin with his elbow to wake her up. As she woke up he then toucher her legs with his hand and casted the skill, "Lurk!" In an instant, she disappeared from sight. He then also used the skill on himself, it felt like his body was absorbed into the shadows.

The both of them then made their way to the exit without disturbing any of the many, many sleeping wolves.

As the both of them made their way over to a tree to rest, Megumin pointed something out, "Do I cast my explosion on the wolves now?"

In response, he looked at this girl with a dumbfounded face. Seriously? No thank you or anything? That's the first thought that comes into your explosion-obsessed mind, the explosions? He then looked at her with a wry smile, "Sure, you can cast now." Megumin's face was filled with happiness as she heard those words. She stood in front of the cave and readied her staff, she put on her eye patch and casted the spell, "EXUPROSION!"A large boom then wiped out the whole cave, along with the cave. As she dropped down on the floor she asked for Kazuma's help.

In response though, he simply started walking away, "Sorry, don't help ungrateful little girls," He said as he tried holding in his laugh. Hahahaha! This little girl's gonna get the punishment she deserves, he monologued in his head.

He stood by, near her body just observing. He didn't touch her or anything, he simply watched as animals walked by her. Deers licked her head and rabbits jumped on her back. Suddenly loud thuds could be heard, it was the toads. It was Megumin's worst nightmare but it was also Kazuma's revenge.

"Kazuma, I'll- I'll date you if you save me!" She offered.

"Eh, even though you're beautiful and all, your personality's very bad." He replied with.

Tears then dripped down the grass, "How could you say that Kazuma?!" He shrugged in response and walked closer, "All right then, crybaby. Let's go back and collect our reward." He said as gave her a piggyback ride.

As they got their reward, Megumin suddenly asked a question, "Was it true, Kazuma?"

He looked at this girl behind her back and answered the question with a question, "What is?"

"... That I'm beautiful?"

"Oh, most definitely. But your personality's... ehhh..."

Megumin slightly tightened her grip. I only have to work on my personality then, she thought with a smile on her face.
