They have a discussion.

As they headed out, and were back on the road, Megumin was fidgeting. "Please?" she tried, giving Puppy Eyes to Kazuma.

"No! Not until we're sure he's gone!" Kazuma ignored the eyes like the soulless jerk he was, or at least acted like. "Once we get confirmation, I promise to take you back to try blowing up the castle again!"

"Aw..." Megumin whined.

"Was that really wise Kazuma?" Fio then asked.

"Of course it is, letting Megumin use Explosion on his castle again would have given him a reason to come after and try to kill us," Kazuma replied. "I would rather not test his patience, thank you very much."

"Not that!" Fio replied. "What if you actually helped him find whatever that holy power was? The results could be bad!"

Aqua and Kazuma looked at each other, before they simultaneously burst out laughing. "Hahahahhaha! Heh, no, trust us, the holy thing he's looking for is a lot closer than you think," Kazuma replied.

"Yeah, sending him off was the best thing to do," Aqua giggled. "Kazuma just sent him off on the mother of all wild goose chases, while he never knew what he was looking for was right under his nose!"

"You guys know something we don't?" Cremea asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Yeah, but... Well... You wouldn't believe us if we told you..." Kazuma trailed off.

"Kazuma... With all the crazy and fun adventures we've been getting into, as well as just the general insanity of this whole party, there's very little we wouldn't believe anymore," Fio deadpanned.

"Yeah, I think we deserve an explanation," Megumin piped up.

Aqua and Kazuma looked at each other once more, considering their options.
