(Thought Projection's POV)
- Alternate Konosuba World, Present -
----A day later, I went to visit Maple early on the morning in the alternate world to see how is she doing. I brought her some breakfast that I made at home and some milk tea.
Her best friend Risa us currently busy with her make up exam so I have to go alone for her.
Lolisa and Shizu-nee was still sleeping from being drunk yesterday and Belfast was looking after them. I asked Gaia to look for Fauna and others because I'm clueless about their whereabouts after I returned back from the past in the fairy tail world.
Arriving in the adventurer's guild in Axel Town, it is kind of awkward because I recognize most of people here while they don't know me. I sat on one of dining table while waiting for Maple.
Looking around, I noticed the waitresses gossiping on me. Instead of doing that, they should focusing on their work.
"I guess I came here to early."
*Yawn*
I yawned being tired from yesterday's party. But it's kind of fun talking with the guys because I'm always surrounded by girls. I bet Tatsumi was severely scolded by his girlfriend after going back home drunk. I can't stop myself from laughing seeing his priceless reaction of being scolded.
"Hehehe..."
Half of an hour later, the first thing I saw arriving was Kazuma with Astolfo clinging affectionately on his arm.
When Astolfo noticed me, he immediately wave his hand. I just unpleasantly looked away seeing how lovey-dovey they are.
"Oh, Haru! Is the pipsqueak not with you?"
"Huh?"
It was Ai and she's talking about Paimon.
(Img<<<)
"Ai, where's Maple?"
She went and sit beside me, moving closer to me while her face is becoming red.
...
"Hey! It's not like I have feeling for you! These are my Master's feelings and it's affecting me!"
"Okay, okay! Here, I made some breakfast for you and Maple."
I gave her the bento box covered in cloth.
"Wow! Thank you, Haru!"
She immediately took and opened it.
Seeing what's inside her bento box, her eyes twinkled.
(Img<<<)
"Thanks for the food!"
She immediately split the chop stick and started to eat.
"Mmmmh~ It's very delicious!"
She looks happy eating.
As I poured myself some tea and drink from it,
(Play: Dark Souls 3 Boss Theme - Vordt of the Boreal Valley)
Hearing the boss music, I spitted out my tea from surprised.
"Sun-kun!"
Maple has finally arrived, making everyone around look intimidated by her presence and freaked out.
(Img<<<)
She never disappoint in surprising me.
"Master, look! Haru made some food for us!" Ai showed her bento box to her.
"Eh? Sun-kun dish?"
"Here's yours."
I gave her the bento box.
"Thank you, Sun-kun! I haven't eat anything this morning."
Opening her bento box,
"Wow!"
"Enjoy it! I made it just for you."
I smiled winking at her.
Instead of sitting in front of me, she went on my other side and sit close to me.
"Thanks for the food!"
She started to eat.
"Mmmmh~ Delicious!"
Same reaction as Ai.
Well, she and Ai are actually one entity same as me and Paimon.
While they are eating,
*Rumble* *Rumble*
I just heard someone's stomach rumbling.
Looking at the other side of dining table.
"Ugh..."
I groaned seeing this alternate world's Megumin and Aqua staring at the glass of water on their table.
When they glanced at my direction, their eyes just saw hope seeing me.
I want to ignore them because they have to earn for themselves but looking at me like that.
(Img<<<)
I immediately look away from themm
No! I have to endure this for their sake!
But seeing Kazuma flirting with Astolfo,
"Nee~ Nee~, Kazuma-kun<3! How about we walked around for a date?"
Kazuma's cheek twitching trying to move away from him but it was futile and he gave up.
Astolfo just leaned his head on his shoulders affectionately.
I intensely shivered seeing them.
It's totally my fault!
Looking at both of my side, I decided to hug on Maple.
"Eh!? Sun-kun?"
She became flustered and her face became red.
"Let me stay like this for a little bit."
She smells really nice.
"Just little bit, okay?"
She leaned on me and embraced me back.
The scent of Maple soothes my heart from being traumatized by Astolfo and Kazuma.
"Hmph!"
"Huh?"
Ai suddenly sat on my lap while eating.
She was pouting at me.
*Rumble~* *Rumble~*
I heard another rumbling sound of stomach.
"...Ugh! Fine!"
I raised my arm waving at the waitresses.
"Yay!"
Aqua and Megumin joyfully went to join our dining table and ordered their food.
While eating together,
"Maple, how's your quest progress?"
"Sun-kun... The quest is really hard."
She opened her system screen and shown me her progress.

"Goblin quest aside, looks like you already defeated the headless knight, Veldia the Dullahan."
"Hey! She's not the one who defeated the headless knight!"
Suddenly, Aqua and Megumin stood up with messy face while eating.
"What?"
I can't believe what I heard from them.
"It's true! The one who defeated the headless Dullahan was us!"
Megumin poses together with Aqua in front of us,
"What's with these two looking proud even though their group just took the last hit from my master. The Dullahan was already begging for his life in front of my master when these two suddenly cast a very powerful spell hitting the Dullahan together with my Master." Ai complained then she explained to me.
I noticed that Kazuma was looking at our direction with squinted eyes and he looks quite disappointed.
Remembering the destroyed outer wall of the Axel town when I arrived here in this alternate world.
"Oh... I kind of understand now but isn't it fine? The quest was completed and you've already received the reward? You don't need to take the credit of defeating the Dullahan since there's no merit on it. I bet the party who took last hit from you got a large amount of money as award but they got in debt by destroying the huge outer wall of this town."
"Ugh!"
My words hit them hard and they became dejected.
"Maple, I can help you with the goblin quest but before that, let's check the other two demon king generals."
"Yes..."
After eating in the adventurers guild, I decided to bring Maple and Ai to the magic item shop in Axel Town. Behind us was Aqua and Megumin who followed us to the shop.
"Aqua, Megumin... Instead of following us, you two should be with your party members and looking for a way to pay off your debts."
"We heard that you guys will be hunting Demon King generals. I can smell a ton of money from it." Aqua grinningly said.
"Are you some kind of dog?"
"Hey! I'm a goddess! A beautiful goddess of water---"
"Maple, Ai! Let's go!"
I took Maple and Ai with me, leaving Aqua and Megumin.
"Hey! At least let me finish!" Aqua complained.
Entering the shop,
*Ring!* *Ring!*
"Ah. Welcome---Ugh! You again!"
The first thing I saw was Wiz's back and she looks disappointed seeing me.
"Sun-kun... Isn't she one of your--"
"Sssssh! Maple. This is the alternate world and no one recognize me here."
"Then are you going to slay your own wife here even though she's different person?" Ai whispered to me.
"Huh? Why would I do that? Actually, there's no need to kill on the quest and as long as you can make your target admit defeat, you can complete this quest. Watch me!"
I went towards Wiz,
"What?"
She seems to be cautious of me.
"I heard there's a very beautiful young woman who's actually one of Demon King's General. I came here with my comrades to slay her."
Wiz became flustered but panicking,
"Sorry but I don't know anyone here like that." she looks away.
Staring at her intensely,
"She an undead lich who gained the title of Ice Witch. She's a kind and caring young woman but she's clumsy and forgetful at times. She's a dimwitted undead witch who's hopeless with money and business. Her shop hasn't had a single profitable month since it first opened in Axel Town, mostly because it sells items that are seemingly useful but have negative side effects or endgame equipment despite being located in a town for beginning adventurers."
"Hey! You're aware that it's actually me, right?! Why do you have to pressure me like this?!"
"So you're saying that you're that undead lich! I shall put you on your demise here!"
"You're doing this on purpose, right? What have I done to you?!"
Wiz looks terrified as I cornered her on the wall then I slapped the wall fiercely on her side, which made a very loud sound, pinning her.
*Don!*
"Eh?!"
"You can't escape from me."
She became teary-eyed,
"Please... Please spare me for now! I still have something to do!" she begged.
"Eh..."
I move closer to her, smiling.
She smells good as ever even though she's an undead.
"Then if you want to be spared, you have to say these words, kneel down and tell her!"
I pointed at Maple,
"I admit defeat!"
Wiz immediately kneeled down on the floor in front of Maple,
"I admit defeat! Please spare me!"
Aqua and Megumin was completely shock from what they're seeing.
Maple felt a little bit awkward,
"Sun-kun... I think this is a little bit---Huh?"
A holographic screen bar appeared in front of Maple.
[You have successfully defeated the Demon King's General Wiz]
[You have gained Passive Skill: Longevity]
"The quest was completed! Sun-kun, you're amazing!"
"Okay, next quest!"
We just left Wiz in the shop with shock expression.
She trembled,
"You dummy!"
I heard her scream from outside the shop as I giggled from teasing her.
