Already back to normal.

Kazuma felt cold through his body as he blearily opened his eyes, seeing Megumin and Darkness tearing up through blurring vision. "Master, Master, you're alright!" Darkness cheered happily.

"Took you long enough," Aqua smiled, resting his head on her lap. He noted a good amount of blood on his clothes nearest his neck. "Sheesh, that Eris can be so stubborn! Give a junior goddess some national veneration, let her name the currency after herself, and look what happens!"

Ria snorted as she floated nearby. "Like you're any better..."

"Shut it! So Kazuma, why the shocked face?" Aqua smirked. "Isn't there something you would like to say to me?" she teased.

Still a bit bleary and weak, Kazuma stared at her for a moment, before snorting. "Yeah... Can I trade you for Eris?"

Aqua immediately turned red with rage as Ria proceeded to start laughing herself sick. "Asshole! If that's the way you feel, I can send you back right now!" she shouted, smacking up upside the head.

Naturally, he retaliated, shooting up and getting her in a headlock as he noogied her without mercy. "Shut up! It's your fault I died again in the first place, forgetting to mention such an important detail!"

"Ack! Stop! You were just revived from a beheading, how do you have the energy to do this!?" she whined.

Darkness and Megumin watched with bemusement as the two fought, Kazuma clearly winning. "...next time she puts his head back on, she should screw it on straight," Megumin quipped, getting an amused giggle out of Darkness, and setting off Ria's laughter some more.

'...still, why DID Eris seem familiar, like I met her before?' Kazuma thought as he pushed a flailing Aqua's face into the snow.
