That night, Megumin got to sleep on a real bed, with a full stomach: A very novel experience for the young Crimson Demon. True, it was a cot that Aqua and Kazuma had dragged out for her in their room at the inn, but it was far more comfortable than the alley filled with used straw she'd been using.
Hell, she'd even been able to get a real bath. Not just wash herself off in the nearby river at night to avoid perverts.
The young Crimson Demon found it difficult to sleep, however. She was glaring at the ceiling as she contemplated all that had occurred that day.
Was it possible? That her path of mastering the spell "Explosion" was too literal? That she had to master all forms of Explosions?
On one hand, it was exciting. To forge her own path, which she could create her own legend: Megumin, the Mistress of All Explosions!
On the other... Was it truly what she wanted? Was it a betrayal of all she stood for?
On the third hand, this was such a wonderfully dramatic twist on her journey, Megumin could hardly contain herself! This kind of drama was what Crimson Demons lived for!
"Ohhhh... Kazumaaaaa...!"
Megumin blinked. She turned her head to look in on the bathroom. Her cheeks flushed.
Now... She really shouldn't peep...
"Yessss~!" Aqua squealed.
Of course, she couldn't get any sleep if they kept carrying on like that. She would give them a piece of her mind!
Politely, of course. They were her hosts and party members.
She got up and crept to the door to the bathroom. She peeked via the cracked open door.
The two were in the tub, wrapped around eachother like mating dragons between sessions. Kazuma nuzzled Aqua lovingly, and planted a chaste kiss on the top of her head. She giggled.
"Mmmm... Round thirty... Is as good... As round twenty," Aqua sighed.
"Wait until round forty," Kazuma growled. Aqua shakily held up a hand as Kazuma tried to push her down again.
"Ahh, w-wait... Wait Kazuma...That thing you were worried about?" She reminded him, though a bit half-heartedly. Kazuma blinked, and his eyes widened.
"Ohhh... Ohhh... Uh... Y-Yeah... Um... Protection... I-I mean... We haven't... We..."
Aqua giggled airily, and nuzzled him. She planted a warm kiss on his cheek and lips.
"It's okay Kazuma," she said softly, "I won't get pregnant until we want to."
"O-Ohhh," Kazuma sighed in relief. "I-I mean, not that I don't... I do want kids... With you... One day... Maybe..."
He grimaced at Aqua's scowl at that less than impressive answer.
"I don't know if I'd be any good as a dad though... I-I mean, my own parents were pretty awful-"
Aqua reached up and caressed his jawline tenderly.
"You can be sarcastic, and mean, and a perv," Aqua said, "But you're also kind, caring, and you worry about the right things. I'd love to have your children, Kazuma..."
She kissed his jawline, up and down.
"Mmm... It's so hard though~," Aqua moaned, "Because I want to have your baby... I want to be a mother... I'm a goddess of water, of life... And I want to be filled with life... I want to give birth to new life~..."
"Haaa...?" Kazuma gasped. Aqua grinned.
"I want to have your baby so badly," she purred, "So maybe... We could pretend~?"
"Ohhhh... You slutty goddess," Kazuma groaned. Aqua giggled as he pinned her down in the bath.
"Yessshhh... Your slutty wife goddess! Take me, TAKE MEEEE~!"
Megumin, blushing bright red, pulled away and crawled back to her cot. She covered her head in pillows as the couple got louder.
Maybe she'd tell them off later... Much later... When they weren't being so lovey-dovey.
