Two Routes || Kazuma x Darkness || Kazuma x Megumin

Volume 3 : Which Route? | Chapter 2 |

"Can I be your lover?"

Holy crap, did she just drop the bomb on me?

I don't know what to say here.

A beautiful older woman just confessed her feelings to me.

A virgin like me can't possibly think of a better way to reply to that statement.

You must think about this, Satou Kazuma, could Megumin possibly like you as well? But Darkness was the first girl to confess, and she even wants me to become lovers together.

If I don't take this seriously, our party might be disbanded.

What are the benefits of dating a noble girl?

What are the cons of dating a noble girl?

It took a while for me to respond and think about this.

But I think I had just found the answer.

"Well... since this is a once in a lifetime opportunity... I guess we can become lovers... I think it can work out."

As soon as I answered her question that she has awaited for so long.

She showed the most precious smile, tears of relief and joy, a smile that should plastered on her face for eternity.

"You... You really think so? Are you sure you want a clumsy, masochist, useless lewd crusader, as your lover?"

She only kept listing the bad parts of herself.

I grabbed her shoulders.

"Instead of listing the bad parts of yourself, I will list the good parts and tell you why this can work out."

"Eh? What do you mean? How can a useless crusaders have any good things about herself-"

"You have saved our lives many times. You saved my life more than once. Remember when I was arrested for suspicion over blowing up the Lord's mansion? You were the only person out of all the adventures in the guild who still tried to save me, even though it was your masochist side. Aqua and Megumin didn't care for me at all when I was arrested. They only came when it was night time. You risked yourself for me many times. You saved me from being framed and executed. Your noble rank has saved us as well!"

As Darkness kept hearing the good parts of herself, she hugged me and cried on my shoulders.

"I...I was afraid that if I confessed my feelings to you. That it would destroy our party."

"That is also the best part of you. You were very cautious and wanted to keep the party still going. That is what I like about you.."

As I was trying to finish my sentence, I suddenly found my lips, meeting with Darkness's lips.

Her warm lips made contact with mine, and I didn't even care.

I went along with it.

"I like you at first because you were a scumbag. And scumbags were my type of men. But later on, I started to secretly admire you. You weren't a typical stereotype male who would blush and refuse to take a bath with a woman even though it was the right thing to do. But instead, you would purposely stare at our chests with no shame. That was when I realize that you were a scumbag of my type. When I heard that you rejected the rewards for exorcising the spirits in the mansion, I knew you had some kind of honor. When I was forced to marry the Lord's son, you still helped me. Even though you tried to get rid of me, you only did it because you worried about my future, Aqua told me that. That was when I thought of you as someone I really liked, that wasn't a scumbag. When you threw your hard earned 2 billion eris at the Lord's face, that was when I truly was obsessed with you."
