Chapter 4

May I Have One Last Night with This Noble Daughter!!

1

My voice was practically shaking as I declared to the two girls:

“And so we will now begin our strategy meeting regarding how to break in to a carefully guarded mansion and meet Darkness! Although I already have a pretty good idea!”

After I got home, I had explained the situation to Megumin and Aqua. Now the three of us were facing one another in the living room.

“Gosh, Kazuma, your voice is practically shaking,” Aqua said. “Darkness’s marriage to that lord who looks like the offspring of a pig and a bear is the talk of the town. I know Darkness has some strange tastes, but this is a bit too ridiculous even for her. Normally I would expect her father to put a stop to this. I wonder if something happened to him. I don’t like this at all. Especially the fact that it’s all just like that stinky, stupid demon predicted.”

Aqua was sitting on the sofa, cradling her egg with an unusually serious face. It was true; Vanir had claimed that Darkness’s family, including her father, would soon find themselves in trouble.

No normal person would believe in fortune-telling. It was half-truths at best. But this was a world with magic and curses.

“Do you believe that prediction, Kazuma? I see that despite your wealth, you’ve been industriously developing new products, just like that demon told you to. I hate demons less than Aqua does, but I agree that they help no one for free. All these predictions and warnings must benefit him somehow. If we could just go back to Crimson Magic Village, I have a friend who’s a very experienced fortune-teller…”

I didn’t know what to say to Megumin, because I didn’t know how I felt. Granted, I wasn’t sure it was wise to go around believing everything a demon told you. And yet…

“I don’t think Vanir is just making things up, although I’m sure he’s not telling us the whole truth, either. I don’t know what benefit it is to him if we rescue Darkness. Look, guys, I won’t try to pretend anymore. The reason I’ve been working so hard on new products is because I hoped, if something really did happen to Darkness, that one of them might help us help her. Anyway, it’s not like I have anything to lose from a little research and development, even if the prediction doesn’t come true. That’s all I was really thinking…”

Darkness wasn’t the sharpest knife in the drawer, and she had probably done this impulsively, thinking that if she sacrificed herself, everything would be better. That was what Vanir had told Darkness in his prediction. If I had just heard it from some random palm reader on the street, I might have forgotten about it. But this…

“Whatever the case, there are a lot of things we can’t be sure about yet,” I said. “For now it’s just thirdhand information, something Rin told us she heard. We have to get in touch with Darkness and talk to her ourselves if we want to know what’s going on.
