KONOSUBA- The Space Between Us

Chapter 1 Next to you

Well what to do now it seems that Megumin's mother is a little bit scary and kinda crazy. Who in their right mind would want their daughter locked in with a monster like me? Hehe I smiled pervertedly gazing at the still form of my to be victim. No! wait, snap out of it Kazuma this isn't you. Or is it? I held up both hands doing an air fondling motion as I step towards the adorable Megumin.

If this was a cartoon show I'm sure that on my shoulders would be the devil on one side and the angel on the other. Its not my fault right? No one could blame me right? I mean who could hold themselves back in this kind of situation. Besides the parents or more specifically the mother gave me her go ahead, so why should I hesitate. Ahh, I couldn't help but paused even wincing at the thought of the accusing gazes of two of my companions; Aqua and Darkness. But can they really judge me? The masochistic pervert who dreams of being violated and the number one screw up. The reason why I'm in so much debt. If only I could turn back time and actually ask for an actual cheat. Only thing I got was an annoying baggage with no sex appeal although she is very beautiful, as what you can expect from a goddess.

So should I?

I must! I'm a man aren't I? Damn the consequence, I will take responsibility for whatever happens. After all I'm a man who's about to become a millionaire, I'm sure Megumin won't hold it against me.. I took a step closer. I gulped nervously as my feet touch the futon. This is it Kazuma, moment of truth. Besides the temperature isn't exactly ideal to be out here, I should be in there basking in the warmth of the futon. I have decided, I am going to become the epitome of a gentleman, not do anything and keep my hands to myself. Yes! For this is what a gentleman should do.

Excitedly I slide in to the futon and lie down next to the still sleeping Megumin. Its a shame that her red dress does not show much cleavage but then again she barely has any breast herself, how disappointing. I'm definitely going to get called a lolicon if I do make a move on her. Better to keep what little reputation I have left. But hang on? Is it even worth it? What can reputation do to me right now where the risk of dying is very high. I can attest to this statistics myself as so far I have died twice in this world.

So at this point! Screw the consqeunces, I be a damn fool if I don't take advantage of this heaven sent opportunity. I must accept it now! I am not the protagonist of this story, there will not be a heaven send popular phase! If I want it, then I must grab it with both hands and never let go of it. After all isn't that how real life works? I gulped, each and every single one of her breath, she puffs out a smoky cold air. No thanks to my ingenious idea of freezing the window shut. Can't let this delectable prey escape after all, I wouldn't want a repeat of what happened last time.

Hehehe I couldn't help but chuckle mischievously. I couldn't help but bring my face closer to hers. Silently observing her. I can't help but admire how beautiful and cute she is. If you see her across the street you would think to yourself 'Wow, what a beautiful girl' and then proceed to day dream about saying 'Hi' to her and then think about your imaginary future together where she says 'yes' the moment you get down on one knee and propose.

That's only if she didn't open her mouth and spout about how glorious the magic spell 'Explosion' is. That's when the illusion shatters into a tiny million pieces and you kneel down and ask God. 'Why?'. Why must god be so cruel to send you such a charming girl only for her to be bat-shit insane.

Wait hang on, isn't one of the heavenly proverbs on the internet dictates that 'one must not stick their dick in crazy'? And haven't I already established that this cute adorable girl is not exactly right in the head. However another proverb also dictates that 'one must follow the desire of their own heart.' So which advice should I follow?

Arghh! Well no time like the present. So I'm just going to go for it and damn the consequences.

I closed my eyes and puckered my lips.
