Before Megumin's first encounter with Kazuma and Aqua

It was a fine sunny afternoon, Y/n was dusting the shelves off since most of Wiz's products usually never sell and he felt bad so he cleaned them, just incase anyone would buy them in the future.

He happened to notice a particular object, he went and picked up strange looking necklace.

Y/n: Huh, what's this? Is this jewelry?hey Wiz!

He looked over behind his shoulder and called out to his employer.

Wiz: Yes, Y/n-san?

He brings the item over and shows it to her, while simultaneously dusting things because money. She scans the item and her eyes light up.

Wiz: That choker! Please be careful with it Y/n-san, don't put it on.

Y/n: I won't but, why would I need to be careful?

Wiz: You see...it...it's a choker that grants wishes, b-but at a cost.

Wiz: It...slowly strangles the life out of the wearer day by day.

Y/n: What? why?

Wiz: I-It's popular among female customers...

She bashfully looked away.

Y/n: Oh. OH.

Y/n: I see. Well, then.

He promptly lobs the choker into a large box, never to be seen again. Until maybe a few chapters later.

Just as soon as they get rid of the cursed item, a customer walked in and looked around. She looked a few years younger than Y/n himself.

Ripe for the picki-- I mean-

She looked like she needed assistance.

Y/n: Wiz, go take a break. I got this.

Wiz: O-Okay.

Wiz goes and takes a nap while Y/n went on over and does his job, assisting in managing the Magic shop. He calls the girl's attention.

Y/n: Hello there, need anything?

???: U-Uhm, hi...do you happen to have...

She slowly trailed off at the last of her sentence.

Y/n: I'm sorry, I couldn't hear that?

???: I-I'm sorry this is a little embarrassing so could I whisper it to you?

Y/n: Sure, no problem.

He leans in to hear what was so embarrassing that she had to whisper, and what she said made it worth coming to this world.

Y/n: Pfft, hahaha! Really? That's what you came here to look for?

???: Don't laugh!

She exclaimed while embarrassed and pouty.

Y/n wiped a laugh induced tear away from his eye lids and calmed himself down, she was seriously asking and question and here he was not doing his job as a assistant shopkeeper.

Y/n: Alright, alright. Whew.

Y/n: Well, ma'am, we unfortunately don't have anything to uh, increase their sizes.

The young lady looked crestfallen at the unfortunate luck she had.

Y/n: But, you could always head into the town of axxel and ask if anyone there could help with your *ahem* situation.
