Forging My Own Path (Konosuba X Male Reader)

Chapter 5

(Y/N) POV:

I sat on the edge of the town local fountain nibbling away at an apple I stole. As I was minding my own business Aqua strolled up to me. "So this is where you were hiding. Megumin was trying to find you."

"It's not like I was hiding I was just reflecting over my time out of that castle" I recalled. "Just nice taking in the views you know?" I scratched my head. "Though something feels off."

3rd Person POV:

A cloaked figure smirks while hiding far into a crowd overlooking the target. The former devil king general (Y/N) (L/N). Traitor to his vow he was to be eliminated. The cloaked figure was none other than the silent killer Mitch. He giggled silently as he pulled back his bow aiming directly for the target's head. "Gotcha." He fired the arrow roaring towards (Y/N).

(Y/N) shook his head. "It's probably nothing. Maybe cause everyone here is watching." (Y/N) stopped and sighed. "My shoelaces are undone again. Every time." (Y/N) kneeled down coincidentally avoiding the arrow. Mitch looked on shocked and unaware of what the hell just happened. Mitch decided to ignore this as a mere fluke and he moved position to kill his target. He shot up jumping between each roofs getting a nice clear shot of (Y/N). Yet again (Y/N) was completely unaware of this giving Mitch a feeling of slight pleasure and mischief. He loved it when his targets were completely clueless. (Y/N) patted his knees in a slight bear as he hummed to himself. "So Aqua I've been meaning to ask, if you are a goddess what are you doing here in a party like this one?"

Aqua looks at me slightly embarrassed. "Well aha. You see Kazuma tricked and manipulated me into joining him ridding me from the heavens and only getting back if we defeat the devil king."

(Y/N) throws the pulp of the apple away sighing. "Damn unlucky. I'm sorry about that."

Aqua looked at (Y/N) somewhat surprised. "Wait you're not going to laugh at me? Make fun of my misfortune?"

"Hey if you are really a goddess then no. I may be a so-called villain but I have manners you know, my mother always taught me to respect the gods and I'll just do that." Mitch laid down smiling as he held his breath and shot the arrow in light speed making it near impossible to avoid that attack. Well unless you're (Y/N). He simply lifted his hand out and caught the arrow with no problem. (Y/N) looked down at the arrow and scoffed. "Hey I found an arrow."

Mitch started to shake with anger as he ripped parts of his hair out screaming. He jumped down and approached (Y/N) pissed off.

(Y/N) POV:

"How the fuck did you do that?" Some guy yelled at me looking completely defeated and crazed. I stared at him blankly. "How did you see my attacks coming?! No one has ever done that!"

I look down at the arrow which I caught putting two and two together. "Oh is this your arrow? Here I found it for you" I hand him his arrow which made him have smoke pour out of his ears as his face grew bright red. "Hey are you alright?"

"I will not have this! I've never been so humiliated in my whole life. The silent killer Mitch has never failed to kill a target, you won't be the first!" He screamed.

I look at Aqua before shrugging my shoulders. "I don't know what this guy's beef is."

Mitch screeches while running at me and pulls out a sword. He was trying to impale me. I simply sidestep out of the way and trip him over. He fell flat on his face leaving a loud crash in his path. Who is this guy? Mitch jumped up with a massive red mark on his face. He roared loudly as he lunged at me with knives in hand. I stumbled back slightly avoiding his attack. I sighed as I held my hand out. "Steal!" A bright light emitted as I looked down at my hands. I had assumed it would be his weapons but it was actually his underwear. "What?"

Mitch's eyes widened as he hid his face mumbling, "How did you know!? Commando is my only weakness. You've won this fight (Y/N). But the war has just begun! On behalf of the devil king, I will kill you!" In an instant Mitch vanished into the crowd never to be seen again. I stared at his underwear, dropping it on the ground baffled. What actually just happened?

"Did that just happen?" Aqua mumbled blankly.

"I think so. Well, that was eventful. Let's go back to the inn and drink until we forget this happened" I said.

"Agreed. Hey, wait a second didn't he say something about the devil king wanting you dead?" She asked.

"Huh?" I replied. I smirk while waving my hand around. "Nah it's probably nothing. Nothing important let's go."
