...good job jinxing it Kazuma!

"EMERGENCY! EMERGENCY!" Kazuma heard broadcast through town, waking him, Darkness and Aqua up in the bed. After Kazuma had taken his rage out on Aqua last night, she had joined Darkness in some sexual fun with him, partly in apology, but that wasn't important right now!

Aqua dashed out of bed to the window towards the edge of town, looking out of it, and Kazuma took a moment to enjoy the sight of her bare ass, despite the seriousness of whatever this was making his heart drop. After all, last time there had been an emergency broadcast, one of the Devil King's generals had shown up! Aqua turned towards Kazuma, looking panicked.

"What is it?" Kazuma asked in concern. "Another one of the Devil King's generals? Did Beldia figure out that I tricked him?"

"Worse..." Aqua replied, as she and Darkness quickly got dressed. "We need to get to the guild hall, NOW!!!"

"What could be worse than a Devil King general!?" Kazuma whined, also getting dressed. "The Devil King himself? Aren't the Big Bads supposed to wait in their castles for the heroes to come kill them!?"

"No, it's the Destroyer! A big, gigantic mobile fortress that destroys everything in its path! No one has been able to stop it once it has a target!" Aqua shouted as the whole party gathered in the living room of the mansion.

"What!?" Kazuma panicked. Ria had just told him about it yesterday! And he had expressly hoped that he wouldn't see such a big thing for a long time to come! 'I just HAD to open my big fat mouth, didn't I?' he mentally groused. Like hell he was telling anyone else that he jinxed it though. "Just how dangerous is this Destroyer thing?"

"It's the biggest, baddest bounty in the world... It doesn't leave so much as a blade of grass alive... Except for those Axis fanatics I suppose."

"Stop bad mouthing my followers!" Aqua whined. "I tell you, Eris is a petty goddess spreading lies about good honest people!"

"We have GOT to introduce you to your cult sometime Aqua," Cremea shook her head, Xylixia looking confused.

"Does she... Think she's a Goddess?" Xylixia asked.

"We'll tell you later!" Kazuma snapped, and looked at Megumin. "Couldn't you just hit it with Explosion Megumin? It's a big target you couldn't possibly miss, maybe take out a leg or something!"

"Wouldn't work," Megumin shrugged. "It has powerful Anti Magic Barriers that even an Explosion or two wouldn't even crack. Plus, the thing itself is likely durable enough that one Explosion wouldn't do the job, even without the barriers..."

"...then we need to go to the Guild Hall, and hope to Eris that they have some kind of plan," Kazuma said.

"Hey!" Aqua protested the Eris comment.
