Crimson Flower: YunYun x Megumin x Male Reader

Chapter 6: The wind blows hard in December

(I don't own konosuba or any of the pictures here)

(A/N: Finally had some time to write... First things first: Thank you guys for the support. I was expecting zero reads to be honest, so it's a surprise to see this story... not get totally ignored or lost in new I guess. I really wanted to make something today because it's December 4, AKA, Megumin's birthday. Like I said I also have some free time now (during this weekend at least) so I'm gonna try to release two chapters. I think that's all for now... Just don't forget to buy best girl a birthday cake cause Komekko is hungry.)

Narrator PoV:

"Ugh, it's still soaked up... This day was awful... Let me see... We made 2000-no, 2700 Eris..."

As the sky was gradually dyed red, you stopped near the inn's entrance with an empty pouch on your hands, followed by YunYun.

"Here Y/n, your jacket..."

YunYun sneezed and slowly approached you to give you your jacket back.

"Are you sure? It looks like you're freezing to death... You can keep the jacket, we sleep in the same place anyway."

"Well if Y/n doesn't mind... I just don't want you to catch a cold."

She tried to smile but her lips seemed to be frozen- they barely moved. With the way she was looking, you wouldn't be surprised if she turned into a YunYun snowman.

Only 2700 Eris... And after risking our lives like that... Why did I become an adventurer again?

*Play the flashback sound effect*

It was a rare opportunity, having a table all for yourself. You took the chance to 'analyze' the quest Aqua picked, while she and the others were busy buying snow equipment. The idea was taking a different quest every day in order to save enough money to survive through winter.

"This quest sounds sketchy. I think 1000 Eris per snow sprite is a bit of an exaggeration..."

"Well they're speedy, but don't put up much of a fight, and are quite valuable too. It's an easy way to make cash."

As you were talking to yourself you heard a feminine voice behind you, but it didn't sound like any of the girls in your party.

You turned around only to see a tall, blonde, and beautiful woman. Giving the size of her meat shields you assumed she was yet another waitress, but taking a good look at her she was clearly wearing some sort of knight attire, and her arms could be classified as meat shields as well.

No.

That woman was most certainly an adventure, some sort of knight or paladin.

A bit startled, you didn't know what to say to the beauty inches apart from your face:"Oh, I see. Thanks for the information."

Instead of smiling and going away as anyone would, she just kept staring.

The contrast between her beautiful eyes and her wry smile was leaving you extremely uncomfortable.

Ok, that's weird. Maybe she is looking for a table.

You shuffled in your sit to make some free space for her, and she took the place willingly.

Trying to ignore the alarms inside your head, you decided to make some small talk:

"So are you going to hunt these snow sprites as well?"
