The art of leadership... consists in consolidating the attention of the people against a single adversary and taking care that nothing will split up that attention

Y/N Pov
So there we were, me and ashley sitting at the adventurer's guild, i was looking at my card and ready to pick a new skill. Grinding some monsters really pay off as i have 7 skill points
I picked eagle vision and the same sequence happened
I then activated eagle vision to see ashley glowing blue while the other people are uncolored. The power of eagle vision isnt powerful enough to see through people on the other side of the wall but this is good enough
Ashley: So i just pick a skill and the rest will happen
Y/N: Jawohl
Ashley: Hmm...this one
She then began glowing and same shit happened
Y/N: So what skill did you purchased
Ashley: A skill called 'Chameleon'. Its basically just stealth
And out of nowhere kazuma then shouted
Kazuma: Create water!
We then looked to see kazuma's palm launching water into a glass and drinking it afterwards
Darkness: Y/N! Look! I repaired my armor with the reward i got for the cabbages, and its so shiny now! What do you think?
Y/N: Well...it suits you. Look you're a very strong opponent...or ally
Darkness: Well thank you Y/N. You're nicer than kazutrash
Kazuma: Hey, i heard that!
Y/N: I dont have time to pay attention to you right now
Megumin: Irresistible. Irresistable!
That akward moment when a stick gets a pussy instead of you
Y/N: Can someone do something about that perverted loli
Megumin: The luster of this manatite staff brimming with magical power...
Aqua: What was that!? Just how many cabbage do you think i caught!?
The 3 of us then turned towards aqua's voice and it looks like she was angry on luna
Luna: W-Well...
Aqua: What?
Luna: Most of what you caught is actually lettuce...
Aqua: Why is there lettuce mixed in!?
Luna: There's nothing i can do about it
Darkness: It IS true that lettuce has a low redemption rate
Aqua then turned towards me and ashley. Oh she's coming this way. This isnt good
Aqua: Y/N~ about how many was your reward from last quest?
Y/N: 1.7 million
Everyone except ashley was suprised by the news
Y/N: Yeah. I spent some of it on this crossbow
I then got the crossbow that was on my back
Y/N: And this dagger
Y/N: I still got 900 thousand. Me and ashley are sleeping in the inn tonight
Kazuma then grabbed robe
Kazuma: Take me with you!
Y/N: Sorry, but no
Megumin: How about you ashley
Ashley: 1.6 million. Spend some of it on upgrading my cane
Ashley: I have 900 thousand eris left and im still thinking what to buy
Aqua,Megumin&Darkness: A million
Many of the cabbage me and ashley harvested were great. All we did was throw our throwing knives at the cabbages, plus them on a group, we didnt have to worry about missing our target. Glad i bought throwing knives before the quest. And apparently they were packed with lots of XP
Aqua: Y-Y/N, i've thought for this quite some time, but you're, um... pretty cool, you know?
Y/N: If you want some eris all you had to do was just ask. And for the mean time, i wont give any
Aqua then pouted before grabbing my shoulders
Aqua: Y-Y/N! I thought my reward for this quest would be pretty hefty, so i used up all my money i had! In fact, i expected to rake in a bunch of money. So i have a bar tab of nearly 100,000 eris!
Y/N: Why should i care? You're the one who suggested we each keep our rewards for ourselves!
Aqua: But that was because i thought i'd only make a killing off it! Please lend me money! Just enough to pay my tab is plenty!
Ashley: Could you atleast leave him alone!
Y/N: Could you shut up you useless goddess! Im using this money to escape the stables once and for all!
Aqua: Fine!...oh kazuma~
Aqua then got to her arms and knees and started to shake her ass
Aqua: Kazuma, you ARE a boy, and i know you rustle around beside me at night sometimes, so im sure you'd like a private room as soon as possible...
Kazuma then rushed to cover her mouth
Kazuma: Got it! All right! I get it! I'll lend you money so shut up!
Ashley: KONO-!
Y/N: SUBA!
Aqua: Kazuma, you are such a great ally. We're the greatest party ever
Y/N: Me and ashley stayed so none of you wont get killed
Aqua then happily hopped away and started paying her tab
The next day
We were at the adventurer's guild and kazuma then had actual clothing of mediaval times...or atleast something from a MMORPG
Megumin: Kazuma looks like a real adventurer now
Aqua: Wearing a tracksuit ruins that fantasy feel
Darkness: Fantasy feel?
Kazuma: Its elementary, but i did acquire a magic skill. I was thinking on going for a sword mage style, with no shield
Ashley: Only the thing you say sound mature
Megumin: Lets go on a kill quest right away then
She then got arroused and wrapped her legs around her staff
Megumin: One with lots of small-fry monsters! I want to test out my new staff's magic power!
Darkness: No, one with super strong monsters that hit with a heavy pleasant blow!
Y/N: How about a monster that we could actually take on
Aqua: No, lets do a profitable quest! I paid my tab so i dont have to worry about meal charges today
Ashley: Im going with Y/N!
Y/N: I forgot! Today is giant toads' mating season and i hear they're infesting areas near the city
Aqua&Megumin: Not the frogs!
Darkness&Ashley: Why?
Megumin and aqua then started to have ptsd
Kazuma: These two have been traumatized by frogs, they got eaten head first and covered in slime
Ashley: Aww, gross
Darkness was in a different state
Darkness: Covered in slime!?
Y/N&Ashley&Kazuma: You're turned on right now arent ya
Darkness:*Embarassed*. I am not
Aqua: Konosuba!
Kazuma: Huh? Whats going on? There are hardly any quest
Darkness: Y/N, lets do this one. A kill quest for a giant beast called 'black fang'
Y/N: I think i'd rather fight the white fang
Kazuma: No way! We're not fighting that
Y/N: Huh? All of these quest are very hard. Me and ashley are the only one who can do this
Luna: I am very sorry. The truth is, one of the devil king's top leaders moved in near town recently
Ashley: Is there a assassination mission about assassinating the devil king's leader
Luna: Sorry but we cant allow such suicidal mission. All the weak monsters in the area have gone into hiding because of that, so there's been a sharp decline in request
Kazuma: What?
Timeskip
Me and ashley were in our room in the inn. We were talking some stuff before going to bed
Ashley: Honestly...i dont care if its a top leader or whatever. We played assassin's creed together and we got parkour lessons together. This mission should be easy
Y/N: Yeah, the quest would be like a walk in park
A brief moment of silence
Y/N: Hey ashley...how did you die?
Ashley: Umm...how do i say this
Flashback, Ashley's Pov
Its been 2 days since Y/N had died and im still a bit deppresed, i just wish that i could be with Y/N again. No matter where, just as long im with him
Suddenly, a bright green light then shined under my bed. And out of curiosity, i checked the mysterious lighting
As soon as i checked underneath, i immidiatley saw a bright glowing green crystal, shining underneath my bed
I then reached for the crystal but as i touched the crystal, everything went black
After a couple of seconds, i regained consciousness and i was sitting in a chair, in a darkroom with a person standing in front of me
Eris: Hello, i am eris
Ashley: Uhh, hi...
Eris: Welcome to the afterlife
Ashley: Im...dead?
Eris: No, but you wish to be with your friend, so i granted it
Ashley: I can be with Y/N!
Eris: Yes, he is in a parallel world
Ashley: Parallel world?
Eris: Yes, you can bring anything into the parallel world, like a weapon or a special skill
Ashley: I see...i'll pick evie frye's gear
Light then appeared as clothes and weapon then came down towards me
A beam of light then shined upon me as a portal opened above
Eris: Safe travel and hope you meet your friend again
White light then shined and i closed my eyes to avoid being blinded. As the lights dispersed, i opened my eyes to see medieval like town
Flashback end, Y/N Pov
Ashley: And thats where my journey on being an assassin began
Y/N: You came here just to see me again
Ashley: 'Cause i know, Somewhere deep in my heart, i love you
Y/N:
Take 2
Y/N: I love you too
Our faces then leaned closer to each other and both of us shared a nice passionate kiss
Timeskip
Me and megumin were walking around the forest. Right now i was looking for a spot for megumin to use her explosion magic
Y/N: Say, if you want to do magical training, cant you go on your own?
Megumin: If i did that, who would carry me home? One shot and i cant move anymore
Y/N: Why didnt you just let kazuma escort you
Megumin: I dont like kazuma. He's a pervert and you know it
Y/N: ....Right...
Is she...going to make me tag along for this every day?
Y/N: I think this is a good spot for explosions
Megumin: I cant do that! If i dont do it somewhere far from town, i'll be scolded by the guardsmen again
Y/N: You just said 'again' right...? Did they get mad and called you annoyinh because of the noise?
Megumin had an embarassed blush and nodded
Y/N:*Sigh*. Guess we have no choice
Megumin: Konosuba
Megumin: Is that an abandoned castle?
Y/N: Sure looks like it
Megumin: I'll use that!
Y/N: Meh, i guess thats okay. Nobody lives there and nobody will complain
Megumin: Sure, nobody will mind
She then started to chant
Megumin: Crimson black blaze, king of myriad worlds, though i promulgate the laws of nature, i am the alias of destruction incarnate, in accordance with the principles of creation. Let the hammer of eternity descend unto me! Expuroshon!
A blast then could be heard and see on the abandoned castle. And damn thats alotta damage
Megumin then dropped from exhaustion
Megumin: Burn to ashes within the crimson. This is fantastic...
And thats how my new daily routine with megumin began. Left dead broke, aqua worked hard at her part time job every day, though i feel bad leaving her. Darkness said she was going to do weight training back st her family home for a while. While ashley was busy with fighting some gangs, and she get paid like 20,000 eris
Megumin, who had nothing imparticular to do, commuted to that abandoned castle every day and kept unleashing explosion magic on it
Megumin: Explosion!
On cold rainy evenings...
Megumin: -plosion!
On calm, early afternoon after lunch...
Megumin: -sion!
On invigorating earlu moring walks...
Y/N&Megumin: Bakuretsu~ Bakuretsu~
Im getting sucked into this explosion madness
Megumin: -on!
Y/N: I'd give that one 65 points. It had a little lack in volume
No matter what the ocasion, megumin unsleashes magic upon that abandoned castle everyday. I kept close, observing her magic, and eventually came to understand the quality of each day's explosion magic
Megumin: Expusroshon!
And in one very powerful blast of magic. The castle could be shaking. The shockwave of the explosion is really great, i felt it going through my bones
Y/N: Todays explosion was fantastic. The shockwave practically reverbrate through my flesh and bones, and yet delayed the vibration of the air seems to storke my skin. 11/10. Nice explosion!
I then gave megumin a thumbs up and she gave one back
Megumin: Nice explosion! You've come to understand the path of explosions, Y/N. How about it? Why not learn explosion magic for real?
Y/N: Nah? Sorry to turn down the offer, i'll stick to the just assassin thing. But i look forward to your next explosion
Megumin: Thats a great attitude
To be continued
