Chapter 431 - 417: Truly legendary connections; shocking everyone in the village
[ When Kazuma finally returned home and washed up, he muttered to himself in front of the bathroom mirror: "According to Aqua, after being digested by the Hydra, I seem to have turned into ’Little Kazuma’..."
So, Kazuma stared blankly at his lower body, his tone even becoming a little panicked: "It properly turned back to its original size, right?"
After cleaning up, as soon as the two arrived at the Guild, they saw Aqua being scolded by the adventurers for provoking the water snake: "Why do you always do unnecessary things!"
"We can’t handle a big shot like a Hydra! Mom, I want to go home..."
"Before this, you turned the water in the fish shop into purified water! All the sea fish inside died!"
Amidst their accusations, Aqua suddenly burst into tears: "T-That’s because seeing the fish living in such narrow tanks looked so pitiful, I thought I’d at least make the water a bit cleaner!" ]

"A talent, an absolute talent! As expected of the Goddess of Wisdom, Aqua. Such a genius idea is definitely not something ordinary people can understand."
Regarding Aqua’s earth-shattering wisdom, everyone couldn’t help but suck in a breath of cold air. This Water Goddess’s head must be filled with water too...
To actually purify all the seawater in a fish shop into pure water—amazingly, she could even do such a thing. Anyone who didn’t know better would think some living King of Hell was walking the earth.

〜Baka to Test: Summon the Beasts World〜
Yuuji looked at Akihisa with pity and sighed with a tone of slight regret:
"Akihisa... to some extent, you and Aqua are really alike."
The level of Aqua’s disappointing nature was simply beyond imagination if there was anyone in the idiot world who could be Aqua’s opponent! That would undoubtedly be Akihisa.
"Believe it or not, I’ll beat you up!"
Akihisa’s forehead popped with veins upon hearing this, wishing he could slap the other person’s face.
"Are you trying to say I’m an idiot?!"
Hideyoshi’s face was instantly filled with astonishment:
"Amazing! Akihisa, you actually understood this time."
"Compared to before, that’s truly incredible! You’re at least several versions ahead."
Minami also chimed in with praise.
"Hahaha, it’s nothing!"
Hearing the waves of praise, Akihisa waved his hand in embarrassment, completely forgetting his previous displeasure.
Sigh... Watching this scene, Yuuji sighed wordlessly. This is exactly why I said you could compete with Aqua; you’re both hopeless idiots!!
〜Gintama World〜
"Little Kazuma..."
Shinpachi looked at the screen with a twitching mouth, followed immediately by a storm of retorts.
"You’ve died so many times, and that’s what you’re focusing on?! Care a little about your own mental state, you bastard!"
Every way he died was super painful!! If it wasn’t decapitation, it was a broken neck, and recently, he was even digested alive. How did Kazuma survive all that?
Clearly, everyone is a teenager, but your mental fortitude is almost Spartan! You’re tough to the point of being inhuman...
Gintoki stretched lazily:
"Relax, Shinpachi-kun! The fact that Kazuma can focus on his OO shows that he’s very healthy!"
"Besides, Gin-san here also checks on his humble Old O from time to time."
He wasn’t lying about that. If Kazuma had mental issues, he would have sought death long ago. Where would he find the leisure for this?
.....
[ At this moment, the Guild Luna told them the reason: "Some time ago, a group called the Silver-Haired Thief Group infiltrated the Royal Palace."
The receptionist didn’t notice that Kazuma and Darkness instantly spat out their drinks upon hearing this. Instead, she took out a piece of paper and handed it to them.
"The Knights have been sent to find the stolen treasures, so they don’t seem to have time to deal with matters here..."
Kazuma took the paper and looked. It was a wanted poster for the Silver-Haired Thief Group, complete with rough sketches of a masked boy and a silver-haired girl!
The bounty was 200 million Eris! Second only to the bounties on the Demon King’s Generals!
Darkness immediately looked at Kazuma with red eyes, muttering incessantly: " 200 million Eris, 200 million Eris..."
Luna continued: "They also asked a diviner from the Crimson Demon Village to divine the culprits’ whereabouts, and they are right here in Axel!"
Everyone in the Guild got excited. This was much better than subjugating monsters!
"As long as we catch the Silver-Haired Thief Group, the Knights will come to Axel to subjugate the Hydra! So, please help us out, too, Kazuma!"
"O-Of course, I will help," Kazuma revealed a face full of smiles, nodding stiffly in agreement.
Subsequently, Kazuma decisively hid in his house, going nowhere. ]

〜Projection of All Worlds〜
"Good lord, becoming a 200-million-level figure right out of the gate. If this were the pirate world, that would at least earn a Supernova status!"
"What a great ’Of course I will help’... Hahaha, Kazuma was instantly sweating bullets. The culprit is actually me?"
You’re asking Kazuma to catch the thief, but the problem is, how? Catch myself?? Are you kidding?
You’re catching the Silver-Haired Thief Group; what does that have to do with me, the black-haired Kazuma!
.....
〜KonoSuba: God’s Blessing on This Wonderful World〜
"Two hundred million Eris... that’s almost Demon King General level!"
Kazuma shouted, frantic. He had nearly thrown out his back when he first heard the bounty.
He had been in this other world for so long and finally made a name for himself... but why did it have to be this kind of fame! He didn’t make it onto the Hero Leaderboard, but he sure made it onto the Wanted List.
No wonder Darkness’s eyes turned red looking at me. You have to know, 200 million is a price even I would be moved by!
"So, can you explain what you are doing? Aqua..."
While Kazuma was dazed, he realized that at some point, he had been wrapped in layer after layer of rope.
Aqua dragged the bound Kazuma toward the door:
"Do you even need to ask! Of course, I’m taking you to exchange for the bounty money to buy booze, you criminal!"
Kazuma didn’t resist but instead asked a question from the depths of his soul:
"Is there a possibility that the current me hasn’t been wanted yet...?"
Aqua paused upon hearing this, then revealed a gentle smile. She hurriedly loosened the rope in her hands and acted as if nothing had happened:
"Oh, you! I was making a little joke, thinking about taking Kazuma-sama out to sunbathe."
"Is that so? Well, thank you very much then."
Kazuma smiled back just as kindly, and then shortly after, Aqua’s screams were heard...
.....
[ Just like that, Kazuma hid at home for three days. To prevent being divined, he stayed inseparable from Aqua.
Meanwhile, Megumin wasn’t idle while Kazuma was hiding at home. Rain or shine, she ran to the lake with Darkness every day, found the Hydra, fired off an Explosion Magic, and ran.
However, on this day, Darkness was nearly swallowed by the Hydra. Seeing her wretched state upon return, Aqua hurriedly ran over to heal her.
Until this day... Megumin discovered that Darkness, along with her equipment, had disappeared!
"I told her not to go, why wouldn’t she listen!"
Every time he saw Darkness come back from the lake covered in cuts and bruises, Kazuma had chosen to take turns keeping watch to stop her...
And today, it just so happened to be Aqua’s turn to stand guard. Kazuma instantly went berserk: "WHY THE HELL DID YOU FALL ASLEEP—!!"
Aqua burst into tears with a ’waah’: "Waaah, I’m also very tired from hatching Emperor Zel. Raising a child is hard work..."
Kazuma didn’t indulge her. He pressed on Aqua’s head and scolded her: "What, raising a child? Bring that egg here, watch me boil it into something fresh and delicious." ]
[ .....]
〜Projection of All Worlds〜
"Aqua is stupid, but she’s still a Goddess. She wouldn’t really hatch some incredible monster, would she?"
"Hahaha, you actually asked a Goddess with a bizarre brain circuit to keep watch? Wasn’t the lesson from asking her to house-sit last time enough..."
Facts proved that as long as this fool was happy every day, that was fine. But never ask her to do anything, or you wouldn’t even know how you got screwed over.
.....
〜A Certain Magical Index World〜
Watching the two people who delivered a shot to the Hydra punctually every day like clockwork, even Accelerator was speechless:
"This scene looks somewhat familiar!"
He was reminded of that pitiful Dullahan. Who the hell could stand such harassment! I definitely couldn’t...
This is equivalent to someone slapping you every day, then turning around and running while you’re still dazed. Day after day—it’s simply against the laws of nature!
"It still hasn’t chased them onto the shore? Does this Hydra have the same temper as the Dullahan?"
If it were me, I would have chased them to the ends of the earth; otherwise, I’d be annoyed to death by them sooner or later...
.....
[ However, seeing that now was not the time to argue, Kazuma gave up on the idea of teaching Aqua a lesson and began to arrange their actions.
"You two go and stall Darkness first! Even if you encounter the Hydra, don’t fight. There’s a place I need to go to first!"
After Aqua and Megumin found Darkness, even hugging her thighs couldn’t stop Darkness’s advance!
"Darkness!!"
However, not long after, Kazuma rushed over, leading all the adventurers of Axel. They were all here to help.
A burly man wearing pink suspenders looked up at the gloomy sky, speaking in a deep voice: "What annoying weather. My old wounds are starting to ache..." ]
[ .....]
〜Projection of All Worlds〜
"So ’stalling’ meant literally dragging her! You two really hugged her thighs and dragged... Megumin is flat enough already; she’s going to be ground down into brake pads."
Looking at this lineup, even the crowd outside the video was somewhat stunned. Is this some large-scale raid dungeon scene?
.....
〜Type-Moon World, Fifth Holy Grail War Heaven’s Feel Worldline〜
"This is connections..."
Emiya Shirou couldn’t help but sigh, looking at the luxurious lineup.
No wonder he told Megumin and Aqua to stall; he went to gather people. And he gathered a whole village of people. The grand finale probably wouldn’t even have this many people gathered.
Artoria looked a bit dazed, seemingly nostalgic:
"Although Kazuma is a bit of a scumbag, he is a good person. Having stayed in the Starter Village for so long, he actually maxed out the residents’ favorability!"
For Kazuma to be able to call upon such a large group of adventurers in such a short time! This isn’t something just anyone could accomplish.
Speaking of the Starter Village, Emiya Shirou’s mouth also twitched:
"Yeah, who would have thought that there isn’t a single novice in the Starter Village..."
Only Tohsaka Rin was still brooding over the old bro in pink suspenders, even becoming a bit frantic:
"Why are you everywhere... You’re just a weaver! Why say every line so deeply?"
Even if you look rugged and speak deeply, it doesn’t change the fact that you’re just a weaver, hey!
And saying old wounds are aching... the only thing that could ache in this rainy weather is rheumatism.
