Encountering Yunyun again.

"That was a lot of fun, but I still need to figure out how to deal with Lord Derp," Kazuma mused to himself as he headed back out. How to get the money for the manor, and prove his innocence towards being a Devil King pawn? Aqua had suggested exposing Wiz, but no way in hell was he going to do that... He wondered where Beldia was right now... If he was still around, Kazuma would have had his party start doing dangerous quests to raise their level, team up with Kyouya near the end of his grace period, and try to take Beldia out at his castle. Defeating a Devil King General would almost certainly clear his name... Well, technically, it was already clear in all but the legal sense, Alderp just refused to listen to reason. But Kazuma defeating a General would make him a hero to Axel Town, and even Alderp would have to realize that insisting on executing Kazuma would just be asking for a lynch mob.

"Getting rid of that guy really came back to bite me..." Kazuma groaned, face palming. "...maybe Wiz knows where the nearest general is... That may be my best bet... Whatever, I'm going to get something nice to eat to mull this over..."

"Cheap eats!" he heard a vendor shout. "How about you miss?"

Kazuma turned towards the vendor, and blinked as he saw said vendor talking to a rather familiar woman. "Huh. Small world," he chuckled, approaching, just as Yunyun decided to turn away and paused, seeing Kazuma approach. "Heyo. What's up?" he asked cheerfully.

"Ah!" she yelped a bit. "You're Kazuma-san, right? Hello again!"

"Wasn't expecting to run into you out here. You all by yourself?" Kazuma asked. When she hesitated to respond, he turned to the vendor. "Huh, shish kebabs eh? I think I'll get some." He then walked by her, and as he made his order, he started charging up the guy selling, Yunyun watching as her stomach growled.

"You're an Adventurer right?" the vendor remarked as Kazuma bought three. "You should be careful, I hear there are strange monsters around town!"

"Strange how?" Kazuma asked curiously.

"They don't look like much apparently, but if anything that moves gets close enough to them, they latch onto it and explode!" the vendor noted.

"Yikes, that DOES sound dangerous," Kazuma shuddered, before walking away after paying, and said to Yunyun, "So, you gonna get some too?"

Despite initially having passed up the kebabs, she decided to try some herself, purchasing from the vendor as Kazuma considered plans for her.
