53 Chapter 50 - Darkness and Moving

Perverts and weirdos attract each other.

My saying was right when I first met Darkness the other day.

Yesterday was the great cabbage day, so I decided to close my shop. We were all geared up for this mission and somehow, I met this crusader who apparently wanted to join Kazuma's party.

"Kazuma... Why didn't you talk about this during dinner yesterday?" I whispered to his ears.

"... I forgot, I guess?" Kazuma acted cute.

"..." I gave a disappointed look at Kazuma.

I sighed and asked, "She's not gonna live with us right?"

Kazuma whispered back, "Apparently, she's very rich."

My eyes lit up.

"Kazuma, do you want me to hook you up?" I teased.

"N-No! She's beautiful and all, but I don't stand a chance," he said to me.

"But you're both weirdos, and that's all that matters," I smiled.

"That's not how it works-!" he responded.

Kazuma saw me go up to Darkness and I allowed her inside our party. I turned back and gave Kazuma a thumbs up.

'Kusou!' Kazuma thought.

However, Darkness didn't come alone. Along with her was a white haired thief.

"Hahaha! You're party is so funny!" she laughed.

"... Who are you?" I asked.

For a quick moment, her eyes flashed but she quickly recovered.

"I'll do a short introduction. I am Chris and as you can see, I'm a thief," she smiled.

I didn't care, but Kazuma was a bit amazed.

"A normal person..." said Kazuma.

I could kinda understand...

*****

Kazuma still had some spare Skill Points, so he learned from her Steal and Disarm Trap. I have no clue how, but this thing worked with probability.

"Kazuma, since your luck is so high, why don't you get luck based skills?" I suggest Kazuma.

Kazuma was amazed at my intellect and since then, he learned those type of skills later.

Back to the topic, Chris stole Kazuma's wallet with her Steal. Kazuma was surprised and pissed, but he did Steal on her and got her panties.

"Yahoo-! It's the grand prize, and it's a big one-!"

"No-! Return my panties to me-!" Chris screamed with tears in her eyes.

"Kazuma... This is too far..." I grabbed him by his shoulders.

"What'cha gonna do Touma? Becareful, or I'll steal your pant-"

I knocked Kazuma out unconscious with a neck chop and dragged him back to the guild. In it, I saw Aqua surrounded by others performing her party tricks.

"Why is Kazuma knocked out?" asked Megumin.

"I knew it~! I have to definitely join your party!" exclaimed Darkness.

Chris came behind us with a sulky face.

"He took Chris' panties with Steal and is suffering from the consequences," I answered Megumin's question.

I made Kazuma sit on the bench and laid his head down on the table. Meanwhile, since Megumin didn't eat much yesterday, she was focusing on wolfing down and Aqua kept on calling the waiter for more food.

'They're so unfeminine...' I thought.

It was no wonder why Kazuma's lustful appetite was shrinking. Though their bodies are great, the personality were shit.

"Just wondering, are we gonna get a new party member?" asked Megumin.

I didn't really care so I woke Kazuma up by pinching his waist.

"Itaii-! Who dared to pinch my waist like!- I'm sorry!" said Kazuma when he noticed it was me.

"Tell this crusader friend of yours if you're gonna accept or not. I don't really care since it won't affect me," I said while taking a seat next to Kazuma to eat.

Kazuma put his hand on his chin and started thinking. However, he couldn't think of any bright ideas except one.

"Darkness! We might look this way, but we're serious about taking down the demon king."

Megumin started choking on her food after hearing Kazuma, but Kazuma ignored her.

"We want to take down the demon king no matter what. That's our goal as adventurers. And so, our adventures will become more dangerous. Especially Darkness, as a female knight, you would experience 'that' if you get captured by the demon king," finished Kazuma.

"That's right! Since ancient times, getting sexually harassed by the demon king was the job of the female knights! That alone would be worth the trip!" responded Darkness instantly.

"Eh?" both Kazuma and I said.

"Huh? What is it? Did I say anything weird," said Darkness.

"Give us a moment please," I said, bringing Kazuma out of the guild.

"Kazuma... It's your luck right? It's your fucking luck that's bring me down, right?" I grabbed him by the .

"It's... not... that! I... didn't do... anything! Bring me... down!" said Kazuma dying.

I let go of Kazuma.

I sighed, "Do you want to ditch or nah at this point?" I asked seriously.

"Ditch? What do you mean?" he asked.

"Didn't I tell you since the beginning? That we could just leave Aqua alone and defeat the demon king ourselves? Did you forget?" I burrowed my eyebrows.

Kazuma was a bit shocked, but he started thinking about it.

"Touma... I'm sorry, but I won't let my party behind..." Kazuma said resolutely.

"You decided, huh? You passed, Kazuma."

"Passed? What do you mean?" asked Kazuma even more confused.

"Now that I know you can be independent, I'm no longer gonna help you. I'm going to leave this town."

"Huh?" was the only thing Kazuma said.

"Let's go back to the table. You should accept the crusader to your guild. Try to help your party, won't ya?"

A siren and a loud broadcast started.

"Emergency quest! Emergency quest! All adventurers in town, please gather at the adventurers guild! I repeat, emergency quest! Emergency quest! All adventurers in town, please gather at the adventurers guild!"

"Go to your party, won't ya?" I pushed Kazuma inside.

Kazuma was absent minded and dull.

'I know it will be hard, but grow up Kazuma. As your cousin, that's the best I can help you.'

The adventurers started gathering up and pushed Kazuma around.

"Touma! Will I ever meet you again!?" he yelled, trying to move to me.

Kazuma saw me for a split second, until I was gone. He didn't know what to do, so he started tearing up.

"Kazuma! Are you okay? It's cabbage season! Let's go catch some cabbages!" said Aqua.

Megumin and Darkness approach Kazuma and were excited to catch cabbages.

'Can I even handle this?' thought Kazuma

"You can't be like this, party leader."

Kazuma heard Touma. Feeling that it will be a long time since he'll see him, Kazuma wiped his tears off.

"I'll be going Touma! Just wait for me!" said Kazuma, heading out with a net.
