Aqua & Megumin & Darkness

After his death, Kazuma met the goddess Aqua and, wanting an advantage in the new world, chose her as his "gift." As a result, they both ended up in a fantasy world and began their lives as adventurers with practically no money. Later, Kazuma and Aqua met Megumin—a talented archmage of the Crimson Demons who specialized exclusively in Explosion magic. Despite her strange personality and the habit of completely losing her strength after a single spell, Kazuma allowed her to join. Then Darkness, a powerful crusader from a noble family, joined them. Thus, by complete chance, an unusual four-person party was formed. However, each of them possesses serious flaws, which is why even a simple quest for their group very easily turns into chaos.

Evening was gradually descending upon the town. It was warm in the living room. Kazuma sat on the floor by a low table, lazily sorting through the coins earned during the day. He recounted them several times and frowned

— Why is there so little money again?

Aqua, sprawling on the sofa, immediately raised her head

— Because you're too greedy!

Kazuma slowly turned toward her

— Who spent half the money on food today?

Aqua froze

She looked away and began demonstratively examining the ceiling

— Those were necessary expenses.

By the fireplace, Darkness was calmly polishing her gear

— I think we should take a more serious quest tomorrow, she said

Megumin sat on a chair, her staff resting beside her

— Naturally. Preferably one where I can utilize my greatest spell.

Kazuma didn't even look at her

— No.

— Why?!

— Because after your "greatest spell," I have to carry you back.

Megumin frowned and turned away

— Ignorance is incapable of understanding the greatness of art.

Aqua snorted with laughter. Darkness smiled quietly, continuing to work on her armor. Kazuma looked at them, then leaned back tiredly. The room fell silent again

— Fine, Kazuma muttered

Tomorrow we'll just find a normal job.
