At the center of the adventurerâs guild, a young girl who looked like Darkness innocently smiled.
âShe really does look like Lalatina-chan! Hey little girl, could you tell me who your dad is!?â
A female adventurer who was drawn in by the girlâs smile leaned on Darkness with a beer mug in hand.
âAgh, itâs none of your business you drunks! Oi Kazuma, hurry up and do something about these people!â
Darkness, whose face was flushed red with either alcohol or embarrassment, turned to me for helpâŚ
âSheâs mine!â
âIf you donât want me to beat you to death then shut it!â
Darkness quickly grabbed ahold of me as I raised a thumb at the inquiring female adventurer.
Witnessing the scene unfold, the young girl began to giggle.
The rowdy-looking people who surrounded her smiled, entranced to the point where I was worried they would be arrested by the police later.
âHey Kazuma, isnât it about time we decide this timeâs V.I.P.!?â
âDonât you mean M.V.P.? Either way, isnât it obvious that it would be me!?â
After I rebutted Aqua, who seemed to be in a good mood, Megumin raised her voice, a triumphant expression on her face.
âOh? Am I, who showed the secret arts of the Crimson Magic Clan, not the clear MVP?â
âDidnât you just mix a few materials or something? Not to mention, the guildâs bartender is probably better at you at that anyway.â
Megumin sullenly puffed her cheeks at my reply.
âOi oi, if youâve got a problem with it then why donât we ask the witness? We can have her decide who did the most this time. Well, not like we all donât already know what her answer is. Itâs obviously none other than me!â I said, pointing at myself.
Then, I turned to the girl held in Darknessâs arms and who was the reason for the festivities in the guild.
