Kazuma already has enough trouble looking after the "problem children" of Axel. A priest that causes more harm than good, a hot-headed mage that is only good for one spell a day, and a perverted crusader that can't swing a sword to save her life...
"Hey, isn't the Destroyer getting a little too close? What are those guys doing?"
Dust questioned while looking up at the gate towers, and a few others shared his concern.
With the Destroyer's imminent approach, the adventurers holding the frontline began to grow weary.
They were fully aware of the plan, and the walking fortress should have been in range for the Arch Priest in Kazuma's party to dispel the magic barrier. So why haven't they?
"They didn't leave us behind, did they? How could you do this to me, Boss!? Take me with you-Gah!"
"Quiet, you. You're gonna cause the others to panic with your idiocy."
Lynn smacked Dust with her staff just as he started panicking, but she then looked up at the towers worriedly herself.
What was taking those guys so long?
"Aqua!? Hey, we kinda need you right now! Aqua-san!?"
Kazuma panicked as he shook the red-faced priestess by the shoulders.
"Fuehehe..."
Aqua giggled to herself with a glazed expression.
...It was no use. The girl was in a daze and completely out of it.
'How did this happen? She was fine just a moment ago...'
Kazuma pondered as he lay his party member onto the ground.
But then, Aqua mumbled something whilst in her delusional state.
Earlier...
"O-of course I will! Just who do you think I am?"
Aqua shouted back at Naruto while looking away with a huff.
What did that stupid ninja think of her anyway? Did he think that she was some useless bumkin of a goddess who couldn't even break a simple barrier?
Of course not!
She would do a good job and earn a nice reward, one befitting that of her status.
"Guehehe... He's counting on me..."
Aqua started giggling to herself when she realized Naruto was basically admitting that he couldn't live without her.
What an unreasonable fellow. Even after saying that, he was making her do all the work in this fight.
But knowing that man, he'll likely claim that he was the one who did all the work and say that she should be the one giving him a reward.
Reward...
Aqua's Imagination
"Aqua, I defeated the Destroyer."
Naruto, whose face was extremely exaggerated, said as he stood over a pile of rubble that was the Destroyer. He then hopped down and walked over to her until he was staring right into her eyes. Those dazzling eyes that were as blue as the ocean.
