Mächtig Zauberer(Konosuba/WC)-2

Dear Mother and Father, you might be happy to know that your daughter no longer spends her whole day cooped up in her room in front of the computer. I have not entered a school though, and I still think that girls are far better than boys, so you probably won't be happy about anything about your daughter. As a matter of fact, you might even be feeling rather relieved about your daughters death right now.

"Kazuma-san!" Those were the thoughts of one young adventurer slash reincarnated hero named Satou Kazuma as he ran after a giant toad that was hopping after his teammate, slash constant headache slash source of all of her problems, named Aqua; a bona fide goddess that had reincarnated Kazuma into this fantasy world and had been dragged by Kazuma as his 'cheat power'.

Worst decision ever.

If Kazuma had known how much of a headache this damegami(useless goddess) would have been, Kazuma would have gritted through her annoying tirade about her taking too long and actually chosen a proper cheat power among the hundreds of sheets. Instead she had let her temper get the best of her and decided to take this goddess with super smoking bod and rotten personality as her cheat power.

At first it had been fun to see the woman that had been making fun of her death, it definitely had been caused by a truck and was not a shock death by a tractor, but that amusement died a rather quick death when she realized that she had no money and knew nothing about this world; much like the useless goddess herself.

Working part time jobs until they managed to save up enough money to buy equipment, and a blanket for their little sleeping space in the stables, had been… not that bad but the fact that he had to do construction work and work as a waitress despite being in an isekai adventure was starting to wear on Kazuma's mental stability.

Their first kill quest against giant toads had been… enlightening. That is to say Kazuma realized why exactly people formed parties after she had to save Aqua from getting eaten by a giant toad and then got hugged by the the said goddess covered in toad stomach liquid.

Not wishing to ever feel such a thing again, Kazuma decided that they needed to recruit more people to their party and Aqua agreed. Unfortunately, the reincarnated hero did the mistake of allowing Aqua to make the poster for recruitment, which claimed that only advanced classes could apply.

The damn useles moron, what kind of idiot with an advanced class would actually agree to join a party of two level ones that had almost lost to giant toads?! Apperantly, one with a very weird name and acted ridiculously chuuni would. Still, Aqua claimed that this Megumin, the daughter of Yuiyui and Hyoizaburoo, was a crimson demon; a clan who specialized in magic and all had high intelligence compared to other people so she decided to listen to Aqua and give her a chance.

That was probably her first mistake, listening to Aqua. Cause if a girl who spent all of her magic on one spell and left herself vulnerable to other enemies was supposed to have high intelligence, than this world must be filled with people whose IQ didn't reach two digits!

So here she was now, trying to save her dumb wannabe goddess while hoping that no toads would go after the stupid mage that had exhausted herself to the point of— nevermind, one of the toads were moving towards her. Great, she would have to save Aqua faster in order to make sure the loli mage wouldn't get digested.

"Zoltraak!" Or she would have to if a beam of black light didn't suddenly pierce through the incoming toad's head. And then another beam pierced the toad that Kazuma had been chasing and it dropped dead too.

As she looked at the source of the beam; she saw a guy with black hair holding onto a staff, that looked closer to some sort of trident rather than the magic stick Megumin had, with a bored look on his face standing on a cliff.

"You're welcome." He said as he walked down from the cliff, took a look at Megumin and turned to her. "Are you the leader of your party?"

"Umm, yes." She started hesitantly but turned firm towards the end, cause no way she was gonna let Aqua lead this party.

"My name is David, nice to meet you." He then smiled as he offered his hand and for the first time in her life, Satou Kazuma understood her former friends' obsessions with boys.

"I can only use Explosion magic, I can't use anything else." Loli arch wizard Megumin declared with her nonexistent chest puffed out, as if her words were something to be proud of.

"I see, then I thank you for your help today and wish you luck in your future endeavors." She said with a smile, already deciding that she didn't need another nut job on her party; she already had Aqua after all.

"No way, I'm staying." But the girl in question didn't seem to like that and then started to argue with her about how awesome she was and how she should be kept in the party. Great, she must be looking like a complete weirdo in front of David and all the people kn the street now.

"Miss Kazuma, please calm down." David said with a sigh as he got between them. "Megumin is a crimson demon you know, her acting like this is completely natural." Great, even her savior was taking on the side of the nut job. "You can't just blame people for their deficiencies." Huh?

"Huh?"

"Crimson demons all have high intelligence but they are also all idiot savants. They are ridiculously talented in their interests but can't do much beyond those." He said with a patient smile. "So it's not Megumin's fault that she can't learn any spells other than Explosion or that she can't use them in battle." He was making a lot of good points actually.

"Oi!" Though loli magician didn't seem to think that. "What do you mean I 'can't', you asshole?! I am Megumin, the greatest arch wizard of the crimson demon clan, there is nothing that I can't do!" She yelled with an expression of determination that would have been far more impressive if it wasn't for the fact that she couldn't move her legs from exhaustion at the moment.

"Megumin, I know it can feel embarrassing but it isn't. There is nothing wrong with your abilities. I am sure you can become a great mage even without being able to learn any other spells." David kept saying with a patient smile that seemed to be making the loli magician even madder.

"Screw that! I'll show you! Tomorrow when my magic power recovers, give me any spell you want! I'll learn it and use it to show you the might of the crimson demons!" She ended her tirade with a huff and turned away, not seeing the smirk on David's face as Kazuma realized what the sneaky bastard just did!

Screw Aqua, this guy was the one who deserved worship!
