Roses, Explosions & Delusions (A Chuunibyou Trilogy)

Chapter 2: Chunibyo, Explosions & Some Other Delusion

Kazuma's POV:

For the past 3 years I had been living in another world. Before I got to this world I kinda lived the life of a shut in who didn't have many friends. When trying to save a girl I thought was gonna get hit by a truck I died of shock. Turns out it was a freaking tractor! Aqua, this useless goddess who I dragged to this stupid world, told me that I had to beat this dude called the Devil King, but what she didn't tell me is that it was gonna be crazy hard. I've been working my ass off ever since I got here, but I guess it paid off in the long run since I beat 3 of the Devil King's top generals. My party finally has the easy life so no more dangerous quests for me.
"But Kazuma you have to beat the Devil King!"
What the hell? Aqua Get out out of my monologue!
"But you're going to tell them lies."
Get the hell out of here!
"Fine."
Ya see what I have to put up with?

I was laying on the couch looking up at the ceiling thinking to myself how great life was now that I don't gotta do anything. I look over and see Megumin standing behind the couch looking at me. She was holding her staff and had the "I wanna go blow something up" look in her eyes, but I was to comfy to go with her.
"Kazuma-"
"No." I said cutting her off right away.
"But I need to use my explosion magic once a day or I'll die!" She begged.
"Ask Aqua." I said with my eyes now closed.
"But Aqua is out and Darkness is asleep." Megumin said in a sad tone. I'm not gonna let this jailbait get to me!
"Go by yourself." I turned away from her.
"You know that I can't move when I Cady my beautiful explosion!" She's persistent I'll give her that.
"Fine but this is the last time." Megumin grew happy and threw her arms around me.
"Thank you Kazuma you won't regret it!"
The thing is I have to carry her back every time. Every damn time. I honestly don't know why I try to refuse anymore though, cause this had become a daily thing for Megumin and I. After walking quite away we had finally reached the destination where Megumin wanted to preform her explosion. Today's area seemed different that usual because normal she would prefer to blow up something big but for some reason we were in an open area.
"Uh Megumin where is the building?" I asked.
"I recently spend the rest of my points to power up my explosion magic to make it even more powerful." She looked at me. Her explosions have been getting really big lately so if she spent more points on it that means.
"Isn't this kinda dangerous then?" I concerned myself.
"Yes, very." She looked ahead and pointed her staff starting to chant that weird stuff she always does before and explosion. With the stuff she chants it depends on how big the impact of the spell will be, and today was the longest chant I ever heard her speak.
"EXPLOSION!" she exclaimed. In that moment everything went dark. I slowly started to open my eyes and sat up. Looking around I noticed something that I never thought would be possible, but it was true. I'm back in Japan!

As I went to stand up my legs shook a bit. I scoped the area a bit more realizing that I am back at the place I died, but how? Who cares I'm finally back! Before I was able to celebrate I looked at my feet and noticed Megumin laying down. This is a nightmare right? My chance at finally living in Japan again and she comes with me? Well I guess it could be worse. Wait if she's from a different world she doesn't speak or understand Japanese. This is bad. Megumin slowly looks up at me.
"Where are we?" She asked softly. When Megumin spoke it sounded like Japanese that means it might have been implanted into her brain like that other world's language was into my head. I reached out my hand to help her off the ground. Megumin took my hand and pulled herself up. After getting up she looked around then back at me.
"We are in my world." I said.
"A world full of perverts." How dare her say that about Japan.
"No you idiot the people here are normal!" I yelled.
"You don't have to be so mean." She said. If we really were back in Japan something must actually be wrong. I should probably find the only guy I can actually trust. Hopefully Togashi is home.

We stood out in front of the apartment complex noticing how big it is. It's way bigger than I remember. Before I walked up I remembered something about a girl Togashi told me about. Every day he would tell me about this girl named Rikka Takanashi and how she had Chunibyo hardcore. When I found out they were dating I thought it was only gonna be a matter of time till they split. Takanashi was so deep in her delusions that if they are still together, Togashi, would probably revert back to his Chunibyo faze. As I got closer to his apartment I prepared myself for what craziness would lie ahead. I took a deep breath and knocked on the door. After waiting a couple seconds the door opened and to my surprise Takanashi was behind the door.
"Um who are you?" She asked. Holy crap this Chunibyo talks normal now!?
"My name is Kazuma Sato and I'm looking for Yuuta Togashi." I said in confidence. Takanashi looked at me for a second then at Megumin.
"Kazuma?" Togashi walked up, "I heard you died."
"That's kind of a long story."
