"I refuse!"
"Then we'll have to use tactic B!" Yunyun states, getting nods from her party mates.
"Tactic B?" Sylvia asks.
Yunyun replies by shouting "INFERNO!", which summons a fire cyclone that instantly covers the kidnapper, this also has the effect of incinerating Kazuma, but at this point, that was a mercy...
The spell soon ends, revealing a thoroughly burnt Sylvia holding a pile of ash... "Y-you killed him!? How could you do that to your own party member!?" she/he/it asks, shocked that they'd actually do such a thing... Weren't these people supposed to be the upcoming famous adventures!?
"Tactic B! Use Kazuma as bait and resurrect him afterwards!" Darkness calls out as she charges in, missing all of his sword strikes despite Sylvia standing still the entire time.
"LIGHT SABER!" Yunyun shouts yet again, causing another wave of light to fly towards their enemy... Sylvia is struck, sending her flying through many trees. Just as the trio are about to follow however, more people run out of the treeline.
"Komekko!" Megumin shouts as she spots her sister, hugging her while ignoring all those around her.
"Ah, so you found her, thank the gods." Michael says, accidentally using the common terminology of Tamriel.
"M-Megumin!?" Yunyun asks dumbfounded as she stares at her long-thought dead rival and best friend.
Megumin looks up at her, "Yunyu-" she pauses as she locks eyes on Yunyun's chest... "You got bigger..."
"I'll say! She's like you but female!" Derflinger cackles.
"HEY! KAZUME IS REFUSING TO BE BROUGHT BACK!" Aqua shouts, drawing everyone's attention. They make their way over and see Aqua looking into a rift a space over Kazuma's ashes that reveals the boy next to the Goddess Eris.
Kazuma was on the floor in a fetal position muttering to himself about feeling things he shouldn't be feeling...
"Don't being a baby Kazumaaa! It was only a-"
"DON'T SAY IIIIITTTT! DON'T SAY IT AQUAAAAA!"
"Kazuma-san, I'm sure you've been through an ordeal, but your friends are waiting for you in the realm of the living." Eris tries to comfort him.
"QUIET BREAST-PADDING! I'M TALKING WITH KAZUMA HERE!... Kazuma, come back or I'll tell everyone your favourite 'activity' back in your room!"
"Activity?" Darkness asks, her voice making its way to Kazuma.
"NO WAIT! FINE! I'LL COME BACK! BUT IF YOU SAY ANYTHING ABOUT A-... A YOU KNOW WHAT, I'LL SEND MYSELF TO ERIS AGAIN! I SWEAR!" he says as light shines and his body reconstructs itself.
"Did you guys even manage to capture the kidnapper?" Michael asks out of the blue.
"Ah... She should be over there after my Light Saber spell..." they all look over and see no person there. "Or not...? She, he, must have escaped!"
"Michael, can we help them? I don't want to leave such a person running around near Megumin's family." Tiffania asks him and he nods, agreeing with her.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The two groups soon recover from their 'ordeal' and get down to talking while Michael sends Darth to follow the trail left by the kidnapper.
It's here he finds out that the group was truly an effective adventurer party... Without Megumin, Yunyun had eventually joined them, and since she wasn't limited to one Explosion spell a day, their offensive weakness was covered.
Darkness proved to be an incredible tank, capable of drawing the attention of her targets... This was actually enhanced by her inability to hit them as all her intelligent enemies took it as her taunting.
Aqua was a powerful Arch-Priest who, while she had spent many of her levelling points on party tricks, was able to easily destroy any undead they came across... Not to mention resurrect her party members should they fall in battle.
Then there was Kazuma, who was basically the same as the Anine and Manga, a jack-of-all-trades who wasn't great at anything, but 'good' at most things.
In the more difficult fights, Kazuma usually served as bait, acting as a rearguard and giving the enemy the impression that he was only good at range... Then allowing himself to get out of position before employing many of his disabling skills he'd learned such as Drain Touch, Steal, Bind, etc.
There, Yunyun would unleash all of her most powerful magic alongside Aqua, killing Kazuma and the enemy before resurrecting the former...
Obviously, this hadn't really worked against 'Sylvia', but this was more due to the proximity of Komekko and Yunyun's unwillingness to use any large AOE spells in her vicinity.
Megumin and Yunyun quickly started comparing their respective adventures against one another, their competitive rivalry continuing off from where they'd left it as if the latter hadn't thought her friend dead for however long.
Surprisingly, Yunyun came out the best during the exchange... Sure, Megumin had helped kill dragons, armies, and dungeons, but Yunyun and her party had beaten Demon Generals, some of the strongest being this world as.
A thing to note, this world's dragons weren't nearly as strong as Tamriels either, so it was difficult for Megumin to explain herself... This created a small problem however...
"What do you mean 'Another World'?" Aqua and Kasuma both ask simultaneously.
Megumin smugly folds her arms, "I was summoned to another world to be Tiffania's Void Familiar. Look, I've got the runes to prove it!" she says, pulling down her robe so the group could see just the top of the runes that lay over her sternum.
"OOOoooohh! I-Is that your Crimson Demon tattoo!?" Kazuma asks with a perverted grin.
Megumin flushes slightly, "No! Scumzuma!"
"Kazutrash." Aqua adds before shaking her head and focussing on Tiffania, "Are you a goddess?"
...
"No, why?" Tiffania asks, "D-do I look like one?" she asks with a smile.
Kazuma locks his gaze on Tiffania's breasts, "Yeees-hik!"
Michael's hand rests on his shoulder, "Keep looking at my woman and I'll send you back to the Futa."
"F-futa... Y-you know what that is... Comrade...?"
Michael grins, "I do, neet-boy."
