Inventory of The Famous Scene: Starting from Emiya

Chapter 438 - 424: 2 billion brides are born! And the truly glorious moment

[ The scene shifts. Aqua, with a huge bump on her head and a face full of indignation, is sitting on a chair. Vanir’s body gradually grows out from beneath his mask, appearing before them completely unharmed.

"The cause of the matter was still the Mobile Fortress Destroyer. The town itself was saved, but the granaries along the path were destroyed! The people who made a living from farming could be said to have lost everything."

This led many farmers to have no choice but to seek help from the Lord, but the Fat Lord said this: "You should consider yourself lucky to have kept your life. Even if you leave the farmland alone, at least some grass will grow, right?"

So, that group of farmers ran to Darkness’s house, crying and complaining: "Please bear the majority of the compensation for the adventurers, oh merciful Lord Dustiness, please have pity on us."

Hearing this, Kazuma finally realized that the reason the Guild only made them pay a portion back then was because Darkness’s family had taken on the majority of the compensation!

BANG—!

Kazuma slammed his fist angrily onto the table, slowly exhaling a deep breath: "Now everything connects together."

Then Kazuma looked quietly at Vanir: "How much does Darkness owe!?"

Vanir was well-prepared and took out the bag of gold coins from earlier: "The Guest’s entire fortune plus what is in this bag equals exactly the amount of the debt! Now then... let us discuss business, moi." ]

〜Type-Moon World, Fifth Holy Grail War Worldline〜

BANG—!

After knowing the sequence of events, Artoria angrily slammed her fist onto the table:

"This Fat Lord is truly scum."

Ignoring the pleas for help from the subjects of his own territory, and when Darkness’s family stepped in to help, he took the opportunity to kick them while they were down. Even though the money borrowed was to save the subjects on his territory!

"Tsk..."

Tohsaka Rin also felt incredibly annoyed, subconsciously clenching her fists tight:

"Those farmers are simply engaging in moral kidnapping!"

What kind of outrageous farmers are these! You helped them pay? So you should pay for our losses too? What kind of twisted logic is this? Should good people be held at gunpoint?

They paid compensation back then because the destruction of the city walls was caused by Kazuma’s party. Darkness was also at the party, so what’s wrong with her paying a little money for her own daughter?

Even the good-natured Emiya Shirou couldn’t help but frown:

"Do the people of that other world all have such strange ways of thinking?"

From the Lord at the top to the farmers at the bottom, it feels like none of their thought processes are normal! Darkness’s family could be considered the only conscience among the nobility, so they just ruthlessly fleece this one family?

〜KonoSuba: God’s Blessing on This Wonderful World〜

Even the current Kazuma was truly angry. He gave Darkness a stern lecture:

"You stubborn woman, couldn’t you just speak up and discuss it with us! Why does everyone insist on carrying things alone? Do you really think you’re the protagonist of some tragedy? What is your mouth for? Can’t you speak?"

Facing Kazuma’s rapid-fire triple questioning, Darkness and the others nodded quickly, indicating that next time, they definitely would!

After all, a furious Kazuma even scared Aqua and Megumin. In all the time they had been together, they had never seen him truly angry before.

Actually, what they didn’t know was that Kazuma was truly angry at the otherworldlers themselves.

Kazuma, returning to his usual self, slumped onto the sofa:

"Heh... is there even a need to save such world?"

He had thought it was strange before. Shouldn’t the Kingdom pay for the damages caused by defeating Demon King Generals? They just picked on Darkness’s family to bully.

If adventurers have to pay compensation for all of this, then what’s the point of saving anything? Might as well do nothing.

.....

[ The scene shifts to the wedding venue. Many adventurers joining in the fun have gathered outside the church.

Accompanied by piano music, Darkness, dressed in a wedding gown, quietly arrived before the master of ceremonies. Then, the solemn music came to an abrupt halt.

The red-haired master of ceremonies spoke slowly: "Ah~ Darkness! Thou art willing to marry this old man, a crossbreed of a pig and a bear, violating the will of me, the Goddess."

"Art thou willing to remain chaste for this old man for the rest of thy life, regardless of health or poverty...? Thou art surely unwilling, right?"

Hearing this speech, everyone in the church was startled, their gazes gathering on Aqua.

Kazuma seized this opportunity and forcefully grabbed Darkness’s arm...

Father, Mother, you always taught your cute son to be an ordinary, honest person! But now, he is drifting further and further away from ordinary. He is currently provoking the most powerful man in this land and kidnapping a noble young lady.

"Let’s go back! Darkness..." ]

[ .....]

〜Projection of All Worlds〜

"Hahaha, it’s useless, Aqua. Even if you dye your hair red, the moment you open your mouth, that voice filled with ’wisdom’ exposes you!"

"Oh, oh, oh!! So cool, Kazuma! I really see you in a new light!"

Watching this scene, everyone was moved to tears. How long has it been... finally, we get to see you be cool for once! Where is that King of Scum now? He’s simply too handsome!

.....

〜KonoSuba: God’s Blessing on This Wonderful World〜

At this moment, everyone in the Axel Guild raised their glasses, cheering for Kazuma’s heroic feat!

"Kazuma... Kazuma! YOU’RE SO HANDSOME!!!"

"I used to think you were scum, perverted, and cowardly. I misjudged you; you are a true man!"

As his best friend, Dust also felt his nose tingle, filled with gratification:

"I knew it, you guys are too reliable!"

As for Kazuma’s inner thoughts, they were ignored by everyone in the Guild... Cute son? Ordinary, honest person? Sorry, don’t know him. Who is that? It’s Irrelevant.

They only knew the Kazuma who was scum, perverted, and occasionally treated them to drinks! He was the pride of Axel, the man who defeated numerous Generals.

.....

[ "Trespassing on a noble’s wedding isn’t something that can be settled just by beheading. You guys are such idiots!" Darkness shed tears.

Kazuma interrupted the emotional, crying Darkness: "Shut up, you idiot! Who told you to pay off my debt without permission? Are you my wife? If you like me, just say it straight!"

The Fat Lord’s face turned black and purple instantly: "If you want to take the woman, bring the money! If you can do it, that is."

"A promise is a promise." Kazuma ran to a pillar on the side and pushed down a large vase, pouring out a massive amount of gold coins: "Darkness’s debt is 2 billion. With this, I’m taking the person!"

The Lord and the surrounding attendees all ran to pick up the money, while Darkness was still wondering where Kazuma’s money came from.

"I sold it. I sold all the intellectual property I could think of... plus the quest rewards I saved up before, it’s exactly two billion."

Reaching his limit of patience, Kazuma grabbed Darkness by the shoulders and shook her with a ferocious expression: "Listen well, from now on, I will use you thoroughly! You have to use your body to earn back the money I spent! Do you understand, you big pervert, Crusader!"

"Ugh... Yes!" Darkness, scolded as a big pervert in broad daylight, collapsed limply to the ground with tears in her eyes.

Seeing more and more guards approaching, Kazuma forcibly picked her up in a princess carry and ran towards the church entrance: "Hey! Drool, your drool is coming out......." ]

[ .....]

〜Projection of All Worlds〜

"Two billion! He sold all the intellectual property rights he could think of, and even his savings are gone. You could say he really has to start from scratch."

"He really... I’m crying to death! A true man. I never thought there would be a day when Kazuma was full of charm."

It’s a rare highlight moment for Kazuma, so why did you, perverted knight, have to act up at this exact time? Watch your image and wipe up that drool; it’s ruining the scenery way too much!

.....

〜Gintama World〜

"Two-two... TWO BILLION!!"

A scream rang out from the Yorozuya, while Gintoki and the others stared at the screen with glowing eyes.

After snapping back to reality, looking at that pile of shining gold coins, Kagura subconsciously swallowed her saliva:

"A two-billion for a bride, huh? How many pickled seaweed snacks can that buy..."

Gintoki’s dead-fish eyes also looked a bit spaced out:

"How long could I play Pachinko with that?"

"That must have taken so much resolve."

Shinpachi was dumbfounded. Kazuma had really bet everything, emptying his pockets this time.

I really didn’t misjudge him. Kazuma is just like Gin-san; at the critical moment, you can always trust him! He will never let you down.

.....

[ By the time they escaped to the entrance, Yunyun burst through the door, speaking with a crying tone: "Megumin, I did it! Because we are rivals... I mean, best friends, even doing something that looks like a crime is fine."

And in front of Yunyun, Megumin walked in slowly, clutching Explosion Magic in her hand.

Seeing the light shining at the tip of Megumin’s staff, the Lord’s subordinates were all scared into retreating: "That’s the girl with a problem in her head... That light, it couldn’t be Explosion Magic, right!?"

The Lord, busy picking up money, shouted: "It’s definitely a bluff! Who would dare release Explosion Magic in a place like this? Hurry up and capture them for me!"

Hearing this, Megumin’s eyes instantly lit up with a red glow: "Are you saying this girl doesn’t dare to release Explosion Magic? I accept this challenge!"

Layer upon layer of magic circles instantly appeared in the sky above the entire city. Even the adventurers outside looked up at the sky in astonishment.

And at this moment, the Lord’s subordinates frantically backed away, urging Megumin to calm down. ]

[ .....]

〜Projection of All Worlds〜

"...With Yunyun’s personality, believe it or not, I could trick her into coming home just using the word ’friend’. For the sake of a friend, she really will do anything!"

"This isn’t just holding Explosion Magic in her hand! It’s clearly holding a nuclear launch button, using nuclear deterrence to rob a wedding in broad daylight!"

Watching the Lord’s suicidal behavior, even the crowd outside the video couldn’t stand it anymore. You already know she’s a mage with brain problems, watch your mouth!!

.....

〜OVERLORD World〜

Shalltear let out a sneer at this:

"Does he want to die together? Her brain already doesn’t work well, and you still provoke her-arinsu."

She wouldn’t dare say anything else, but she could guarantee that Megumin would actually do it, even though it was very likely she would blow herself up, too.

Demiurge was actually a bit eager to try:

"Tsk tsk, this range... if it really comes down, at least half the city will suffer along with it."

Ainz spoke slowly:

"Hehe, this is no longer a question of whether she will blow it up or not. The amazing thing is, not a single person present thinks Megumin won’t do it."

It seems the setting that Megumin has brain problems is deeply rooted in people’s hearts. Who would gamble their own life playing with a lunatic? Betting that she wouldn’t dare to fire?
