Forging My Own Path (Konosuba X Male Reader)

Chapter 3

(Y/N) POV:

"Umm Megumin? Do you get the feeling everyone is looking at us?" I mutter while looking around feeling slightly uneasy.

Megumin stops and looks around at everyone giving us the most uncomfortable death glares. I mean shit even the pigeons were staring me down. She turns back to me and shrugs. "Nope. You're not getting anxious now are you?"

I stop and scoff. "Me anxious? Please!" I glimpse over my shoulder to see a small child giving me the evils which genuinely freaked me out. "But now that you mention it...how much further till we get to this guild thingy?"

"Just past the market and we will be there" Megumin exclaimed. I stop and froze. The market? Great. More lovely attention. I sighed and carried on walking only for Megumin to stop me. "Say you're not actually an adventurer are you?"

"Well technically...no no I'm not" I reply.

Megumin taps her foot and nods. "Well you're going to have to sign up for one then. Come on." I reluctantly drag my feet through the market yet again getting death stares everywhere. I however keep moving to try my absolute best not to look. Mind you that's a bit hard when everywhere you look someone is looking at you. At least no one has challenged me to a dual yet.

"Foul devil king general I challenge you to a dual!" A lone adventurer shouts. Kill me. I turn my head to see some prick in armour wielding a big ass sword. "My name is Mitsurugi Kyouya and I shall slay thy evil."

I stare at him blankly. "Ok." I turn around and carry on walking. Jesus, could that guy have a longer name? I really get an OP Jesus Kun vibe off him. Really can't be asked to fight him though. As I kept walking with Megumin I heard a loud yell. I glimpsed over my shoulder to see him running at me with his sword held high up. I merely ducked and placed my foot out tripping him. He fell face first onto the ground. I sighed as I wiped a small spec of dirt off my shoulder and carried on walking.

"Halt villain! Don't think thou shall give up so easily. Don't worry my lady I shall save you from the claws of this foul villain!" Kyouya shouted.

He lunged at me again only for Megumin to smack him on the head with her staff. He fell to the ground as Megumin began to laugh. "Oh Crimson night-"

I wack Megumin around the back of the head and pull on her eye patch. "What are you doing?! Are you like super dumb? Why would you even think of casting explosion magic out in the open?"

Megumin was trying to fight back holding her eye patch as best as she could. "You have no proof I would do such a thing...now please let go!"

"So you're telling me you weren't going to use your Michael Bay magic?" I shout.

"...yes" She mumbles.

I sigh as I let go of the eye patch making Megumin cry out as it slams in her eye. I then turn back to the random guy with the stupid name. "Who the hell was that guy?"

I pushed both doors wide open and wondered in the guild. Everyone and I mean everyone stopped what they were doing and turned to me and Megumin. I scoffed and walked past each person. I glimpsed over at the notice board. Hey someone was looking for party members. Score! Getting rid of Megumin could be easier than I expected. "Excuse me but can I help you?" A woman asked.

I turned to her and coughed trying to hide my smile. "Oh. Oh my. Well. Umm."

Megumin nudged me. "What are you doing? You want to be an adventurer don't you? This woman here will help you."

I stared blankly once more at this woman and grinned while rubbing my chin. "Might I say you have a huge pair of-" I stopped myself mid-sentence. Yeah, maybe I shouldn't say that. Now here's the tricky part. For years many brave souls have fallen to the test. The test of the Gods. One wrong move and I could potentially die. I had to dig myself out of this situation without looking like a huge perv. Ok (Y/N) here goes. "You have a huge pair of watermelons." Nailed it.

The woman stared at me confused. "Ok then. Well, my name is Luna and I will be here to help you become an adventurer. If you just place your hand on this orb we can decide where you stand.

I place my hand on the orb which glowed blue. After a second it stopped. Luna looked at my card and gasped. "Your stats are completely off the charts!"

"Huh fancy that. Isn't that convenient? What does that mean?" I ask.

Luna stares at the card completely baffled. "You could be an arch-wizard, really any class you want."

I take the card and laugh uncontrollably. "Yes! Unlimited power! I shall purge the world of all the weak in it! Everyone shall kneel before me bwhahahaha! Do you see this Megumin? Megumin?" I look around to see Megumin talking to some guy. I sigh as I walk over to her. "Hey do you mind?! I was gloating about my extreme overpowerness and you weren't there to be super impressed. What's the point in you being here?" I turn to the boy and sigh. "And you are?"

"Kazuma. Are you with Megumin here?"

"Is it too late to say no? No? Fuck. Yes, I'm with her. The names (Y/N) (L/N)."

Kazuma grins. "So I was just talking to Megumin about joining our party. Being an arch-wizard is impressive. I was about to accept her."

A large grin crept over my face. "Oh yes that's perfect. This is happening so quickly I might be able to ditch the useless bitch and go home...and I said that out loud didn't I?" I look at Megumin who was literally seconds away from crying. "What I meant to say was, Megumin this a great opportunity for you. You should almost certainly take it."

"What about you? Aren't you in a party with her?" Kazuma asks.

I laugh. "No well...yeah. But you know. Bros before hoes. That didn't make sense. Look I was here to help Megumin find a party. I've done that so I'm going to go home."

Megumin grabs my arm and pouts. "Wait you can't go!"

I pull my arm away. "And why not?"

"You need to approve of this party first. Make sure it's suitable for me."

"Oh come on how bad could this party be?"

Timeskip (Y/N) POV:

"This is the worst party I have ever seen in my life" I mutter as I watch Kazuma, Megumin and the other member Aqua getting eaten alive by giant frogs. "What the fuck did I agree to?"
