#413 - Become an adult!
The Demon King's army had been half destroyed, and their commanding officers had been defeated. After returning to the fortress, everyone held a lively banquet to celebrate the victory.
Kazuma and the others were treated as heroes and praised.
In reality, the arrival of the team had indeed saved a difficult battle. Whether it was Aqua repairing the city walls, or Megumin constantly harassing the Demon King's army with her explosion magic, or Kazuma delivering the final blow to defeat Wolbach.
The three of them shone brightly in this battle.
Of course, Satou Kazuma, Darkness, and Yunyun also made indispensable contributions.
In any case, everyone drank very happily. What made them even happier was that someone with teleportation magic went to the royal capital to report the matter. After the king learned of it, he said that he would thank them handsomely later.
Evening.
Kazuma slapped away Satou Kazuma, who was drunk and throwing himself on him, and then returned to his room.
"Kazuma-sama!"
As soon as he arrived in the room, a dark figure decisively knelt on one knee and lowered her head deeply. She was wrapped in a black robe, so her appearance could not be seen clearly, but her curvaceous figure showed that she was a woman.
"...Ernis, you're back?"
"Yes!"
It was Ernis, the high-ranking demon whom Kazuma had sent to assist Wolbach, and whom he had only summoned recently.
"Thank you!"
"There's no need to thank me. I didn't really do anything."
Kazuma did not intend to take credit for himself. After all, after Wolbach refused to be drawn in, he had already planned to let Megumin completely fuse her with Komekko. To this end, he had also specially enhanced the power of Megumin's explosion magic.
He just didn't expect the subsequent mishap and the result of being saved by his own fairy.
"Your subordinate knows, but..."
Ernis didn't know how to express her gratitude, or rather, she didn't know what position she should take, since her body now belonged to Kazuma.
Why did she suddenly feel a little excited?
"That..."
After a moment of silence, Ernis finally couldn't help but cautiously ask: "Kazuma-sama, Wolbach-sama, she..."
"She's fine." Kazuma shook his head and said, "Whether it's Wolbach or Komekko, all of their power has been stripped away. There will no longer be any loss of power, so there is no need to fuse."
"Is that so..."
She breathed a sigh of relief.
This meant that Wolbach would no longer be threatened with death and could continue to live in the world. But the price was that she completely lost all of her power and became a goddess who had a divine status but could do nothing.
Even her originally proud figure had completely disappeared, turning her into a young girl even smaller than Megumin.
"That's fine..."
Ernis seemed to have finally let everything go.
For the past few days, she had been by Wolbach's side and had vaguely sensed the other party's thoughts—having been treated as an evil god for a long time, and then fighting with others after becoming a Demon King's officer, Wolbach was already feeling tired and annoyed.
Similar to Wiz and Vanir, she didn't want to fight anymore.
By the way, Wolbach had never harmed humans after breaking the seal. Whether it was knights, adventurers, or commoners, she had constantly prevaricated the Demon King's orders to go on an expedition, using her serious injuries as an excuse.
And this time, she came back to the front line to bombard the fortress because of the prophecy that had trapped her sister.
She didn't expect it to turn out like this.
"Kazuma-sama, I have a request! About—"
"I know. I've already thought about where Wolbach should go."
He naturally knew what Ernis wanted to say, so Kazuma interrupted her first and said that he would definitely not harm the other party.
Thinking carefully.
It seemed like he had been schemed against by that Vanir guy again.
At this time, there was a knock on the door of the room.
"Kazuma, are you asleep?"
It was Megumin.
She had left the banquet early. He didn't know where she had gone, but now she was appearing here again.
Ernis nodded lightly, concealed her figure, and Kazuma spoke again.
"The door's not locked, come in."
Opening the door, Megumin walked in wearing her pajamas.
Her face wore a relaxed smile, as if the doubts she had always had had been answered, and she felt a sense of relaxation and pleasure.
Then, the girl closed the door, walked lightly to the bedside and sat down, lying down next to Kazuma on her own, and then leaned on his side.
As if not wanting anyone to see her shy cheeks, she pulled the blanket up to cover her head.
"Megumin, you..."
"Can I sleep here with you tonight?"
"Sure."
Kazuma casually agreed.
Megumin suddenly poked her head out of the blanket, looked at Kazuma's expression seriously, and sighed somewhat dejectedly.
"...Megumin-san, I feel like I'm being underestimated. Let me state in advance that if you continue to be like this, I'm going to push you down."
"You can. Rather, I came here today with that intention."
As she spoke, Megumin smiled.
She tilted her head slightly and gently breathed on Kazuma's neck and chest, her breath becoming hot. Through the thin pajamas, he could feel Megumin's body temperature gradually rising, becoming somewhat feverish.
Indeed, in typical teenage novels or anime, when a strong enemy is defeated, beautiful girls will throw themselves into your arms, not to mention childhood sweethearts who have had feelings for each other for many years.
With Kazuma clearly stating that he would not let go of her, plus the fact that she was already an adult... an adult?
"M-Megumin, this kind of thing should wait until after your coming-of-age ceremony..."
"I know what you're hesitating about, but you haven't forgotten, have you? The Crimson Demon Clan's coming-of-age ceremony is held one month after adulthood, which means that I'm already an adult now."
The arms holding Kazuma tightened even more, her chest, which didn't have much undulation, pressed tightly against him, as if conveying a certain signal.
Alright, then there's no need to hesitate!
When a beautiful girl goes this far, it would be very rude to not respond. Besides, Kazuma and Megumin are already adults, so this kind of thing should be allowed.
Although it was a little regrettable that his first time wouldn't be with his fiancée, this feeling of forbiddenness made him even more addicted.
"I... am already a mature adult."
As the girl's voice, tinged with seduction, entered his ears, Kazuma's rationality had completely dropped to its lowest point.

His right hand gently supported Megumin's head, inserting his hand into her cold black hair, allowing her red eyes, filled with fascination, to meet his. Megumin, who was originally hugging him, had an expression of permission, and at the same time, she took Kazuma's other hand and pressed it against her chest.
Everything was a natural progression.
The union of childhood sweethearts should be blessed!
...But it wasn't.
"T-That... Kazuma-sama, this is my first time encountering this kind of thing. What should I do?"
"Eh!?" X2
The two of them paused.
Lifting their heads slightly, they found a person in black robes appearing in the room. Megumin was so frightened that she shrank into Kazuma's arms, and Kazuma also reacted after a moment of panic. The person in front of him was Ernis.
Damn it!
Kazuma clicked his tongue unwillingly.
He didn't know if he was blaming himself for Megumin's actions disturbing his mind, or if he was feeling unwilling because Ernis had interrupted their intimacy.
"I'm very sorry, Kazuma-sama!"
Ernis decisively knelt on one knee on the ground. Although her expression could not be seen, her head was lowered very deeply.
Speaking of which, although Ernis was a high-ranking demon, she probably didn't have any romantic experience, which meant that she also didn't have this kind of experience, so she asked?
"I-It's okay..."
Now that things had come to this, what else could he say?
Of course, he forgave her.
Moreover, after being interrupted like this, Kazuma suddenly reacted. He pinched Megumin's cheeks and scolded, "Megumin, you lied to me! I remember that the Crimson Demon Clan's coming-of-age ceremony isn't held one month in advance! ?"
"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts. But it doesn't matter, does it? Anyway, we both hit it off, right? Come on, let's continue what we were doing—my mother said that we have to hurry up and get started at this time!"
"What exactly did Aunt Yui teach you! ?"
"I was wrong, I was wrong."
The Crimson Demon girl, whose cheeks were being rubbed, quickly begged for mercy.
Although she also wanted to do some of the things that couples should do, sometimes it just wasn't possible, even if the laws of the other world's kingdom didn't allow it.
Moreover—
"Kazuma, are you asleep?"
His real fiancée was here.
After that, of course, there were no unexpected quarrels. Yunyun had already regarded Megumin as a sneaky cat, constantly condemning her. However, Megumin said that this kind of thing must be first come, first served, and she had no intention of repenting at all.
In this way, amidst the noise, the group left the fortress.
Wolbach had completely woken up. Having lost her power but not threatened with death, she seemed to have put down the burden on her body and looked relaxed. She didn't quarrel because she was deprived of her divine status.
At the same time, she also admitted that she was the one who taught Megumin explosion magic in the first place, and said that it was still too early to want to surpass her.
And Megumin also said that sooner or later, she would be even more powerful than the goddess Wolbach.
On the way back, the group came to the relay station again.
Wolbach was particularly fascinated by the hot springs here and reluctantly left with the others after soaking for a week.
The arrangements for Wolbach had already been decided.
She would be an employee at Wiz's magic item shop.
Because she had lost her power and her status as a Demon King's officer, Wolbach, who liked to take baths, had no property, so she could only work at Wiz's magic item shop to earn money, together with her subordinate... no, now Kazuma's subordinate, Ernis.
Moreover, Wiz also liked to take baths, and the two of them had many common topics, so although she wasn't as carefree as she was when she was a Demon King's officer, there were more smiles on her face.
In addition, Vanir was indeed doing it on purpose.
After seeing Wolbach arrive, this guy immediately took out the prepared apron and employee handbook, and then she became the poster girl for the magic item shop.
As for Wiz, the owner of the magic item shop, she was arranged to make magic items day and night in the back, which was pitiful and sympathetic.
And after a week of such days.
A letter arrived quietly.
It was a letter from Princess Iris of the kingdom, and the sentence on the letter was very shocking.
"In the near future, I will be meeting with my fiancé, who is also the prince of a neighboring country. I sincerely hope that you can protect my safety on the way—"
The next second, the letter was torn in half.
