Inventory of The Famous Scene: Starting from Emiya

Chapter 399 - 385: It’s cold, so crawling into the blankets is perfectly logical, right?

[ The scene changes, and the time is now night. Megumin’s mother has once again knocked everyone unconscious, and Megumin is also sound asleep due to her mother’s magic.

Kazuma lies in his futon, holding Megumin’s hand, thinking constantly... because if this continues, he’ll become a simple criminal!

"First, I need a reason to be able to get handsy in Megumin’s futon!!"

A thoughtful Kazuma immediately came up with a great idea: to use the excuse that it’s too cold outside to get into her futon. All he had to do was make this excuse a reality!

"That’s right, my power probably exists for this very day!"

So Kazuma chanted magic at the room’s window, pouring nearly all the mana in his body into a full-power strike, covering the entire window with a thick layer of ice.

The temperature in the room plummeted.

"This is the effect I wanted. With the window frozen, Megumin can’t escape through it like she did yesterday. I’m such a genius!"

Just as Kazuma was admiring his own idea, the sleeping Megumin was suddenly woken up by the cold due to the sharp drop in the room’s temperature.

"Good morning! Did you sleep well?" Kazuma held Megumin’s hand, rubbing it repeatedly. The latter instantly felt that things were not good at all. ]

"Hahaha, so Megumin’s mom is the real god! Selling her daughter not once, but twice. This madam is trying way too hard!"

"A hooligan isn’t scary; what’s scary is a cultured hooligan! Brother Kazuma, I bow to you, that was just too brilliant."

Outside the video, everyone was stunned by Kazuma’s genius-level idea. It turns out that Kazuma’s scumbaggery is our ceiling, but not his floor.

But... why do you always go all out in these strange situations! We’ve never seen you this serious when fighting the Demon King’s generals.

.....

〜Cautious Hero: The Hero Is Overpowered but Overly Cautious World〜

Ristarte watched Kazuma’s bottomless antics and was utterly speechless:

"To go this far and still be able to come up with such a legitimate reason, you’ve really outdone yourself..."

For a moment, she didn’t know whether to call Kazuma brave or cowardly... To be able to ’legitimately’ crawl into a futon, he didn’t hesitate to use all his mana to freeze the window and lower the temperature.

As if doing so gives him a legitimate reason and makes him not a criminal?Seriously, what’s the difference?

Also, your power doesn’t exist for these kinds of ridiculous things! It’s meant for subjugating the Demon King, you scumbag hero.

〜Gintama World〜

Seeing such bizarre behavior, Toushirou Hijikata’s motion of lighting a cigarette stiffened:

"Kondou-san, have you ever arrested a hero in an RPG game? This isn’t a hero, this is a crime."

This reason can only convince himself, not the law. Spend your next life in prison, you perverted hero.

Kondou crossed his arms, shook his head, and said with a serious face:

"It’s because it’s too cold that he got into the same futon. It can’t be helped, it’s not a crime!"

Looking at a certain gorilla who seemed eager to try, Toushirou sighed helplessly:

"Listen to me, give up on that unrealistic idea of yours. You’ll be beaten to death by Miss Otae."

Kondou immediately felt guilty:

"I haven’t said anything yet."

"What nonsense are you talking about, Kondou-san!"

Sougo also said with a serious face:

"A so-called hero is a criminal who randomly enters people’s houses, rummages through their chests and drawers, and takes the savings villagers have hidden in boxes!"

"..."

Kondou fell silent. Damn it, for a moment, he couldn’t even refute it. After all, what Sougo said made so much sense.

.....

[ Megumin was so scared she scrambled out of the futon, tearfully scolding Kazuma: "Did you finally cross the line, you beast! Kazuma, you beast."

Facing Megumin’s scolding, Kazuma was incredibly calm, not blushing or skipping a beat: "Idiot, it’s just because it was cold that I subconsciously held your hand. But it’s about time you thanked me. I’m always the one cleaning up your messes."

These words put Megumin’s mind at ease. She immediately took Kazuma’s hand and thanked him seriously: "For taking in a magic user who was stranded on the streets and could only use Explosion magic back then, thank you!"

"When I use up all my mana and can’t move, you always carry me home, thank you. Even though I always cause trouble, you always kept me at the party."

Hearing Megumin say such uncharacteristically sincere words, Kazuma actually became shy. He also thanked Megumin in the Crimson Demon Clan’s unique way, because he also often causes trouble for everyone.

Seeing Kazuma’s shy yet goofy appearance, Megumin giggled: "Please take care of me from now on."

"I-It’s really cold today, like being in an ice cellar... or something." After Megumin saw the thick ice on the window, the harmonious atmosphere from just a moment ago vanished instantly.

"Kazuma, what is going on here?"

Kazuma was visibly guilty and tried to bluff his way through: "A Winter Shogun just passed by, froze the window, and left."

Megumin immediately panicked and, without another word, went to pull on the door: "Someone, come open the door! Open up, open up... Mom, Kazuma froze the window!"

As for the madam outside the door, she remained calm, pressing her ear against the door, unmoved. ]

[ .....]

〜Projection of All Worlds〜

"Hahaha, why don’t you guess why you were woken up by the cold... I knew it, something always happens whenever things get serious."

"High attack, paper defense Kazuma. Hit him with a wave of sincerity, and he can’t take it."

Pfft... haha, everyone outside the video was amused by Kazuma. Just as you can always trust in Kazuma’s scumbaggery, you can also trust in his complete lack of integrity.

He even blames freezing the window on the Winter Shogun. So he came all this way just to help you freeze a window? Who would believe that!

.....

〜Type-Moon World, Unlimited Blade Works Worldline〜

Watching the sudden shift in tone between the two, Tohsaka Rin, who thought she was about to see some fun, sounded slightly disappointed:

"They were only serious for that short a while..."

The originally warm scene suddenly took a turn in an unexpected direction.

"It would be weirder if they stayed serious for too long."

Illya seemed a bit uncomfortable when Kazuma and Megumin were speaking from the heart.

Looking at the madam still eavesdropping by the door, Emiya Shirou said with some lingering fear,

"Megumin’s mom is really something else. She’s been squatting at the door for two nights, right?"

A mother like that is a bit scary. To think that the biggest pervert, Darkness, is actually the one with the most integrity in this house. At least she tried to stop it...

Oh, Megumin, you should just give up on escaping this room. Your mom has no problem with Kazuma freezing the window, or rather, it’s exactly what she wants. Otherwise, who do you think locked the door?

.....

[ Watching Megumin try to escape the room, Kazuma rolled over in his futon: "It’s strangely cold, hurry up and sleep. I know I was wrong, I’m sorry, okay!"

Hearing this, Megumin had no choice but to lie back down. But Kazuma secretly acted up again from behind, hitting Megumin’s neck with a Freeze spell.

"Aah—, you used Freeze magic again, didn’t you! Just how much do you want to stick close to me!"

Unable to take it, Megumin dove directly into the futon and lay on top of Kazuma, looking a bit shy: "No wonder Darkness said that when that good-for-nothing actually gets to the point of doing those things, he’ll try to joke his way out of it."

Looking at Megumin before him, Kazuma’s ego gradually inflated. Indeed, my romantic golden age has arrived! But just then, an announcement rang out.

"The Demon King’s army is attacking! The Demon King’s army is attacking!"

The Demon King’s general, Sylvia, was sneaking around outside the house. Kazuma grabbed his sword and rushed out, his words filled with rage: "Are you asking for a beating! Showing up to spoil the mood when things were getting good, what’s wrong with you!"

Sylvia was so startled she subconsciously apologized: "I’m sorry... uh, wait!"

Then Sylvia looked at the angry Kazuma, then at the blushing Megumin, and gave a wicked smile: "Oh my, could it be you were busy with this young lady?"

Aqua was also woken by the commotion. After seeing the Demon King’s general, she immediately ran off to inform the others.

Fueled by the anger of having his good time ruined, Kazuma charged at Sylvia with his sword: "Don’t think I’ll go easy on you just because you’re a beautiful woman. I advocate for true gender equality."

"When facing a scummy woman, giving her a dropkick is no problem at all!"

"Clang..." His furious strike was casually blocked by the opponent. Kazuma instantly sobered up. He had used up all his mana on that stupid stuff just now, and now he couldn’t even use magic.

Sylvia pinched the blade of Kazuma’s sword between her fingers, her expression a little puzzled: "I say, are you really Mitsurugi?" ]

[ .....]

〜Projection of All Worlds〜

"Hahaha, this is the first time in a long while that we’ve seen Kazuma lose his head to anger."

"Pfft... hehehe, you got carried away, didn’t you? Now you finally remember you’re just a scrub with a power level of five. It’s all your fault for staying home and not grinding levels whenever you get money!"

Watching Kazuma’s attack get easily blocked, everyone outside the video facepalmed. Who told you to use all your mana on such ridiculous things!

And now, the only one on the team with a brain has fed the enemy a kill. How are your brainless teammates supposed to fight now?

.....

〜OVERLORD World〜

"Although he’s not Mitsurugi, he is definitely a more terrifying opponent...-arinsu"

Shalltear looked at Sylvia with a bit of pity in her eyes:

"There’s still time to run-arinsu."

Kazuma isn’t proper like Mitsurugi. He’s known as the king of scumbags with no integrity. He’s capable of doing anything, no matter how low. If you underestimate him, you’ll easily fall into his trap.

Ainz: "It’s this scrub with a power level of five right in front of you who took out several of your colleagues. Can you believe it?"

Although the Mitsurugi identity was a bluff, Kazuma wasn’t lying about the other things. The Dullahan, Hans the Deadly Poison Slime, and Vanir were indeed defeated by their party.

If you don’t run now, are you waiting for your own funeral feast? If you’re gone too, the Demon King will almost be a general without an army...

Haven’t you seen? The Dullahan has already settled down on the other side of the Sanzu River. He even goes to bother Wiz from time to time, just waiting to welcome you all down for a reunion.
