Chapter 439 - 425: The end of the third season...
[ Seeing that the soldiers didn’t dare to make a move, the Lord, unafraid of death, began to incite the adventurers in the town directly: "You lot over there watching the show! Stop looking, I’m talking to you adventurers."
"Go and snatch my bride back, can’t you hear me? I’ll pay you whatever amount you want!"
However, the adventurers present treated his words like wind blowing past their ears. Not a single one listened to him; instead, they each started playing the games Kazuma had taught them.
Some were playing soccer, some started playing chess right in the middle of the street, Rin began counting the hairs on her tail on the spot, and Dust disdainfully picked his ear, blowing away a clump of dust.
In short, every adventurer seemed very busy, though no one knew what they were busy with... Anyway, they just didn’t have time to help the Lord catch Darkness. ]

"Good lord, has this fat Lord actually lost his mind? Maybe look at the giant magic circle above your head first; your death omen star is twinkling, hey!"
"Hahaha, what a soccer game... The Headless Horseman has been dead for so long, yet they are still paying tribute to the legendary founder, the Headless Horseman!"
Watching Dust’s behavior, everyone was stunned. Big brother, you really have a lot of stuff in your ears; did you stuff a bag of flour in there?!
Also, bro, weren’t you screwed over? How did you escape?
.....
〜Type-Moon World, ██████ Worldline〜
In the 7th singularity, Absolute Demonic Front: Babylonia—
Watching the fat Lord’s behavior, even Ishtar felt it was utterly stupid:
"Tsk tsk, does this fatty not know that this is Kazuma’s base camp?"
Do you really think Kazuma spent all that time in the Beginner Village for nothing? The connections he accumulated daily could be seen as early as the subjugation of the Hydra.
And although these adventurers can’t afford to offend the Lord, if they are busy, it’s reasonable that they can’t help at this moment...
Although they were just busy playing soccer and chess, and some were even idly counting fur, they all expressed an attitude: You can’t blame me! I really don’t have time to help you, Lord!
Ereshkigal in the Underworld was also huffing with anger:
"Two billion has already been paid. What else does this fatty want?"
You have a giant magic circle hanging over your head; what if you push it too far and they really blast it down? Don’t increase the workload of the Underworld... Wait, it seems that side isn’t under my jurisdiction.
〜OVERLORD World〜
"I want to know, who is that brother whose skull is being kicked like a ball?"
Ainz watched with intense physiological discomfort. Is there any morality left? Is there any law?!
Most importantly, where did you pull that skull from on the main street!! Even after death, the head gets kicked like a ball; do you understand respect for the deceased?
Albedo paused upon hearing this:
"Uh... Ainz-Sama... this..."
How would she know which unlucky bastard that was? To have only a head left and still be kicked like a ball, this group of adventurers simply cannot be described by common sense.
Seeing her embarrassment, Ainz waved his hand:
"Forget it, these adventurers can’t be described by common sense anyway."
Using money to make those adventurers act is simply wishful thinking. Most people staying in the Beginner Village are the type who just need enough money to get by.
Moreover, everyone probably got a decent share from the previous Hydra bounty; otherwise, why do you guess they are still staying in the Beginner Village?
High level, not short of money, yet still choosing to stay in the Beginner Village—isn’t it all for the succubus big sisters!
.....
[ Just as Kazuma was deeply moved, Megumin’s somewhat impatient voice came from beside him: "Ka... Kazuma, I’m about to reach my limit... It’s okay to fire it like this, right?"
The magic power gathering on the staff became increasingly violent. The magic began to burst like starlight; this was the sign that Explosion Magic was about to be released!
"I can’t hold it... Everyone... get away from me!"
In Axel, surrounded by people who knew Megumin very well, everyone had long since darkened their faces and hidden everywhere, terrified of accidentally getting blown up.
"EX—PLOSION—!!"
Unable to control it any longer, Megumin released the Explosion Magic towards the sky. Accompanied by specks of starlight streaking across the air, it set off a massive explosion!
Brilliant colors constantly burst in the sky above the city. The powerful shockwave shattered the glass in the city, and the citizens were scared into holding their heads and lying prone on the ground!
"Quick... take this opportunity..." Megumin then fell weakly to the ground, but for some reason, her voice got smaller and smaller as she stared intently at Kazuma.
They saw that Kazuma was hiding behind Darkness, curled up into a ball, looking as if he was using Darkness as a human shield.
Aqua said speechlessly: "No matter what, using the person you want to save as a shield is still a bit..."
Darkness also glanced back coldly: "Yeah, this person is rotten to the core."
Even the adventurers lying on the ground around them stared at Kazuma as if looking at trash. ]
[ .....]
〜Projection of All Worlds〜
"Hahaha, human meat shield! As expected of Scum-zuma. He was just acting cool a moment ago, and he returned to his true self so quickly."
Looking at Kazuma hiding behind Darkness, even the people outside the video couldn’t hold back... Can’t you just stay cool for the whole scene? You were cool for just a second and then turned back to your old self.
Hiding behind the girl you want to save—you really have the nerve to do that! Have some backbone, brother!
.....
〜KonoSuba: God’s Blessing on This Wonderful World〜
"Phew... luckily it didn’t blast down."
Megumin finally let out a sigh of relief. If it really blasted down, few people in this city would survive.
"Luckily, it didn’t blast down?!!"
Kazuma, with a dark face, pulled Megumin’s cheeks with both hands and roared somewhat frantically.
"I already gave the two billion; I don’t have money to pay for the glass anymore, you idiot!!"
Now it’s really over, paying money again... Sure enough, a wonderful future or whatever doesn’t exist at all! Money was already low, and now congratulations on reaching negative billions.
It would have been better if it really blasted down and everyone died together! Now there’s a huge compensation to pay.
"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts..."
Megumin, whose cheeks were being constantly pulled, cried out indistinctly. As for Darkness? She was still immersed in the fantasy of Kazuma snatching the bride and hadn’t come out of it.
Aqua, who had packed her bags at some unknown time, had already come up to them:
"Kazuma, let’s run away! If we go to the Axis Cult, we won’t have to be in debt."
The Goddess, who had gotten used to the life of the rich, didn’t want to go back to living in the stables, no matter what.
Regarding Aqua’s proposal, Kazuma rejected it directly without even thinking:
"Compared to the Axis Cult, I’d rather be in debt..."
.....
[ Without the threat of Explosion Magic in the sky, the Lord’s guards rushed towards them without hesitation: "Explosion Magic can only be fired once a day. Now is the time, grab them!"
Just as Kazuma was thinking of turning back to stall for time, he suddenly heard a scream from behind.
He saw a familiar figure screaming and falling to the ground, rolling constantly: "It hurts so much ahhhh, fracture, I have a fracture! Dust, save me!"
"Hey, Keith!" Dust checked the injury with great concern: "This injury is too severe; it’s a comminuted fracture of the wrist."
"Who has time to play with you!" The guards wanted to leave, but were grabbed by Keith, who claimed to have a comminuted fracture: "Didn’t you say your hand was broken? How can you still grab people?"
Dust also leaned in, saying they were being unreasonable: "You knocked my friend into paraplegia, and you plan to run away without even an apology?"
"How did it suddenly become paraplegia?" As a result, the soldier merely touched him and heard Dust shout in pain: "It hurts! I was being so honest, yet you used violence against me..."
Hearing this, the surrounding adventurers started making a fuss, ganging up on the subordinates. ]

"This reminds me of the Four Devas Arc. This skilled staged accident technique—could it be learned from that silver-haired curly head with zero integrity?"
"Hahaha, there are still many good people. It turns out that staging accidents for compensation was already popular in the Middle Ages!"
Watching the behavior of Dust and Keith, even the crowd outside the video couldn’t help but sigh. As expected of friends who call Kazuma brother, these two are scumbags, not losing to Kazuma at all!
This kind of devilish behavior, don’t doubt it... basically everyone who hangs out with Kazuma is like this.
.....
[ After everyone rushed back to Darkness’s house, her old father was already so weak he was about to pass away: "Kazuma, can you come here for a moment?"
Megumin, reading the atmosphere, found a random excuse to walk out... while Aqua just walked up to the old father, looking left and right!
The old father, as if giving his dying entrustment, entrusted Darkness to Kazuma once again, and the latter rejected it directly without thinking.
Father and daughter shed tears of reluctance: "I love you, Father... thank you for raising me until now..."
The old father closed his eyes slowly with gratification: "My lovely daughter... I love you too. Let’s talk about the topic of your favorite mother later..."
"Sacred Highness Exorcism!" Aqua, unable to read the atmosphere, suddenly cast magic on the old father.
After the holy light flashed, the dark circles under the old father’s eyes disappeared, his skin regained its rosiness, and he woke up instantly.
Aqua explained triumphantly: "It was a curse! You were cast with a demon’s curse, but it was easily lifted with my power!"
"Now everything is fine, you guys can chat all you want about the topic of the mother."
The two who were just parting in life and death instantly became awkward. This old father even pulled the blanket up directly to cover his embarrassed face. ]
[ .....]
〜Projection of All Worlds〜
"Hahaha, now I know why she was looking around everywhere. Although Aqua doesn’t understand the atmosphere, she is quite sensitive to the smell of demons."
"As moved as I was just now, that’s how awkward it is now! Sure enough, trying to find tragic moments in this devilish other world is impossible!"
Watching Aqua’s miraculous healing act, everyone reached out to cover their faces... I knew it, I knew it!! Although Aqua is stupid, you can’t deny her professional expertise!
If you have this ability, lift the curse earlier! Now that the dying words and entrustments have all been said, the atmosphere that was just touching has turned awkward.
Now that the mood has reached this point, it won’t do if the uncle doesn’t die a little bit! How can they chat about touching topics now!
