WE'RE IN DEPT!? DAMMIT!

It was over now. the one who was named Verdia was no more! The only one who stood there triumphantly was Y/n as he stands in his spot with great confidence and strength!

~~<>~~

Y/n: 'OH MY GOD!!! MY EVERYTHING HURTS!!! God!... just hold the pose. Just hold the pose...'

~~<>~~

Umm... well, sorta. Now that the "heroes" have vanquished the evil menace, it was time for them to head back and enjoy themselves in the celebration that will most likely be held in their honor.

~~<>~~

Now we see Y/n and Kazuma, walking down the street as they were on their way to the guild.

Kazuma: well, we managed to survive another quest. But from now on, I'll be taking it easy from now on!

Y/n: oh c'mon Kaz! Don't be such a downer! Besides, you weren't the one who got his arm chopped off, had his face blown up, had his abdomen cut open, had hi-

Kazuma: OKAY! Okay, I get it. Sheesh...

Y/n: look! I know that things have been hectic lately, and I understand why you want to ease up a little. But, c'mon! This is what we signed up for! At least, what I signed up for...

Kazuma then gives out a hefty sigh as they continued to trek their way to the guild. As they finally reached and entered inside the guild, they were then met by Megumin holding two chicken wings.

Megumin: It's about time you two showed up! Darkness is being mean to me! She won't let me have a drink!

Y/n: well, if you stopped being a child like you said you aren't, then you wouldn't even have this problem. Not that I support underage drinking or anything... don't drink at a young age kids.

He says as he looks at us, yes, you and me reader.

Kazuma: who are you looking at?

Y/n: I said don't question it.

Kazuma: fine whatever. Hey Darkness, give me a drink will ya!

Darkness: oh, sure thing Kazuma.

Megumin: oh, come on!

Y/n: well sucks to be you I guess.

Megumin just gave him a pout as she then leaves to do her own thing. Y/n just stands there for a bit until Aqua comes in -drunk as hell- trying to talk but just slurs everything she says into nonsensical gibberish.

Aqua: *drunk noises*

Y/n: 'she's drunk already?'

Then out of nowhere Luna comes up and then asks Y/n and his teammates attention.

Luna: ah! Y/n, your here! great! I have a special award that I would like to give to you and your team.

Y/n: really?

Mohawk dude: I knew you had potential in you?

Y/n looks over to see a dude with a Mohawk, leaning against a pillar.

Y/n: who are you? And what do you mean by potential?

Mohawk dude: the potential to shine a light at the gates of hell, to be the hero the world needed.

Y/n: okay cool speech, but you still didn't tell me who you a-

Suddenly the crowd of adventurers cheer his name for some reason, and he just stands there still wondering who the fuck that guy was.

~~<>~~

Y/n and his teammates now stand in front of Luna as they await their Award.

Kazuma: *whispers* what do you think it is?

Y/n: *whispers* I don't know... probably money I guess.

Luna: Ahem! In recognition of your teams achievement of the defeat of Verdia, one of the demon king's general... I hereby award you 300 million eris!!!

The whole team: 300 MILLION ERIS!!?

Y/n : okay! Huddle up!

They then find a secluded place as they discuss about their apparent fortune.

Y/n: okay, we no have a lot of money... all people who agree to keep Aqua from having the money say aye.

Kazuma, Megumin, and Darkness: aye.

Aqua: What!? No fair!!!

Kazuma: okay, for real. Now that we have this money, I will officially be retiring from adventuring.

Y/n: oh, not this again...

Kazuma: seriously! I'm done with questing!

Darkness: wait a moment

Kazuma: i'm not waiting-

Darkness: if I cannot fight strong enemies anymore, then that would be a problem.

Kazuma and Y/n: yeah, only for you.

Megumin: I joined you specifically so I could defeat the demon king and earn the title of strongest mage!

Y/n: but, didn't you join us because no one else wanted you in their party?

Aqua: why do you want to be a shut in neet again?

Kazuma: there is no again because I wasn't in the first place!

Aqua: but you said you'd get me back home!

Kazuma: too bad already made up my mind!

Their argument then continuous on and on as Y/n stands there with an unamused face until he was then struck by a bad feeling out of nowhere.

Y/n: somethings wrong. I can feel it.

Darkness: what is?

Luna then speaks up breaking Aqua and Kazuma's argument as they were now giving their attention to Luna.

Luna: um, Kazuma? Here...

She then gives Kazuma a paper card as he takes it and inspects the contents of the card.

Aqua: is it a cheque? Is it? Is it!?

Y/n: yeah, tell us man.

Kazuma looks at the card, then immediately makes a horrified face as he now realizes what the card was for. Y/n was still clueless about it until Luna started to explain the whole situation.

Luna: I'm sorry, but the water that you casted destroyed the cities outer walls.

Y/n: oh, so that's the bad feeling I had. But, wait, didn't I tell you Kazuma to have the adventurers put up barriers to stop the flood?

Kazuma: THE BARRIERS WERE TOO WEAK TO STOP IT! IM SORRY!

Y/n: DAMMIT! CURSE YOU OMNIPOTENT BEING WHO CONSTANTLY GIVES US BAD LUCK!!!

Aqua: but, I casted it to defeat the Verdia!

Luna: it is true that you casted it to defeat the demon king's general, which is quite the achievement, so we can't ask you to pay the full sum of the repairs, but it would be good if you could pay at least 340 million in repairs...

Kazuma, Megumin, Darkness, and Aqua: .....

Y/n: ... Fuck this shit. I'M OUT!!!

Kazuma: oh no you don't!

Y/n: screw you, I don't wanna get involve in this!

Megumin: our bloody journey of magic still continues!

Y/n: correction, our bloody journey of pain and suffering still continues!

Megumin: well, so much for your retirement Kazuma.

Darkness: Tomorrow, we shall find a quest with a strong profitable enemy!

Aqua: and we'll split the dept! Equally of course!... ehehe...

Kazuma and Y/n then look at each other, then back to their group of useless ass gals as they think of the same thing.

Y/n and Kazuma: ' am I really gonna be stuck with these useless teammates?' *sigh*

Y/n: whaddaya say Kazuma?

Kazuma: well... at this point, we don't really have a choice.

Y/n: yup. All we could do now...

Kazuma and Y/n: is defeat THE DEMON KING!

~~<>~~

Now we find ourselves in a barren wasteland full of fire and destruction, with a humongous fortress towering over its land. Inside said fortress was a lonesome leader, sitting in his obsidian throne. This was the Demon king, Alrath. Suddenly the huge doors to his throne room open to reveal a person in a black hooded robe.

Alrath: state your business.

The person then kneels before him as he does what the Demon King has asked.

Hooded person: your lordship. I am here to report that one of your subordinates general has been defeated by the hero you called, Y/n L/n.

Alrath: I see... thank you for your report. Inform the other demon kings about him. He could prove to be troublesome to my plan.

Hooded person: I will, your grace.

The hooded person then stands up and leaves the room to inform the other Demon kings about the boy and his team. Alrath was then left alone again, thinking about the boy. He chuckles lightly as he says only one word.

Alrath: interesting.
