[ Just like that, Aqua, filled with resentment over her stolen sake, continued to purify the undead until late at night. Meanwhile, Kazuma, in his sleep, suddenly opened his eyes.
"I need to go to the bathroom..."
He was about to get up to use the toilet, but as he turned his head, Kazuma's heart nearly stopped. A small Western doll was sitting on the chair, staring at him, their eyes meeting.
"So scary...!! This kind of cheesy plot twist is just too much."
Kazuma quickly turned away, closed his eyes, and pulled the blanket over himself, deceiving himself into believing that nothing had happened... But soon, he felt something crawling onto the bed.
Kazuma fearfully opened his eyes a crack, only to find the bed covered in Western dolls. He was so scared his soul nearly left his body!
"AQUA!!Aqua-sama—" Kazuma, terrified, bolted out of the room, running barefoot down the hallway. ]

"Hiss... they can't play like this, it almost scared me to death. At this moment, a brave man quietly tucked his feet into the blanket!"
"Who invented these dolls anyway? I can't even understand why girls would put them by their beds; it's just too terrifying."
Watching Kazuma, who was almost peeing his pants from fear, everyone else perversely enjoyed themselves... They usually call her the useless goddess, but now he's calling her Aqua-sama.
Aqua usually calls him Kazuma, Kazuma, but whenever she's in danger, she cries and clings to his leg, calling him Kazuma-san! It's hard to tell who learned from whom.
However, when facing evil spirits, Aqua is at least quite reliable, or rather, when she's not acting up, she's quite like a goddess. But the biggest problem is that Aqua acts up every day.

〜A Certain Magical Index World, Academy City〜
Kamijou Touma's face was a little pale. He pulled his bedsheet tighter around himself, his voice trembling:
"It's the middle of summer, and I actually feel a chill!"
Being startled in the middle of the night, this art style isn't right. How did an adventure in another world turn into a supernatural horror? It wasn't until Kamijou Touma turned on the light that he felt a sense of relief.
Then, Kamijou Touma glanced at the dark underside of the bed, and then at the toilet just a few steps away. He suddenly felt a little panicked:
"Gulp... How come I never noticed the toilet was so far before!"
It seems there's no hope of sleeping tonight. The moment he closes his eyes, he feels as if he's being constantly watched. How can he sleep like this? He keeps feeling like the cabinet is moving.
Especially the moment you turn on the light and find the doll on the table staring at you expressionlessly... it can make a person cry in minutes.
.....
[ Kazuma, with a look of horror, ran to Aqua's room. Without knocking, he burst in, closed the door, and immediately locked it!
But Aqua wasn't in the room. In the dark room, he only saw a black-haired figure with glowing red eyes staring at him!
The two of them screamed in unison: "Eeeek—"
After screaming, Kazuma regained his composure and realized the voice sounded somewhat familiar: "Don't... don't scare me, Megumin! You almost made me lose control of my bladder. Why are you in Aqua's room?"
Megumin became a little flustered, stammering: "Well... I just... came to find Aqua... to protect my personal safety, and to go to the bathroom together."
Kazuma also guessed that Megumin probably encountered the same thing he did: "I think Aqua is probably still purifying spirits in the mansion."
As he spoke, Kazuma felt the urge to urinate and decided to take care of that problem first. So, he walked towards the balcony, preparing to unbutton his fly: "Um, Megumin... face the door and plug your ears! I'm going to be on the balcony..."
Before he could finish, Megumin grabbed him, preventing him from leaving. Kazuma, without turning his head, said: "Hey, what are you doing? Let go of me, or else my pants and the carpet here will suffer."
Despite this, Megumin held on even tighter, then revealed a cheerful smile: "I won't let you go. How can I let you have all the fun by yourself?"
"Aren't we companions? Whether it's the toilet or anywhere else, we go together!"
Kazuma immediately struggled, trying to break free from Megumin's grasp: "Let go of me! Don't suddenly bring up companion bonds now. Didn't you say the Crimson Demon clan doesn't use toilets? If not, there are empty sake bottles over there!"
Megumin, of course, wouldn't let Kazuma have all the fun alone. If they were to die, they'd die together. Even if Kazuma decided to relieve himself on the spot, she would unhesitatingly interfere from behind. ]

〜Projection of All Worlds〜
"Megumin... can you please not say such trashy things with such a cheerful smile and sweet voice!"
"Aqua is really persistent about some things. How much do you love that bottle of sake! To still be purifying spirits in the middle of the night, this is definitely the most effort Aqua has ever put in!"
Watching the "loving" scene between the two, everyone sighed, truly "heart-wrenching" companionship! Kazuma's integrity, well, it's not that he doesn't have any; it's that he has none at all.
After all, a hero who can tell a girl to use a bottle for the toilet, what integrity do you think he could possibly have! He can only be described as depraved; teammates are just for selling out.
.....
〜Re: Zero - Starting Life in Another World〜
Natsuki Subaru was also startled by these two shameless people, a little embarrassed:
"What kind of monstrous words is Kazuma saying!"
He could already imagine what the sake bottle would be used for! But... Kazuma, why can you say that so brazenly to a girl?
Normally, shouldn't the bottle be for you? You don't even look at the monstrous things you're saying to a little girl; it's a miracle you haven't been labeled a pervert.
Emilia's face was a little red:
"And... Megumin shouldn't be underestimated either. Doesn't she know how to be shy?"
Looking at Megumin, who sounds a lot like herself... interfering with Kazuma from behind, that's truly something she would do.
〜Gintama World〜
Gintoki looked as if he saw a familiar scene, feeling a bit nostalgic:
"What a united and friendly team, just like our Yorozuya, right, Kagura!"
Kagura also showed an innocent expression:
"Right, right, but... compared to our united Yorozuya, they're still far behind!"
Shinpachi, listening to them shamelessly adding to their own roles, immediately had a face full of black lines. He pressed a hand on each of their heads and slammed them onto the table:
"You two shameless bastards have the nerve to say that? You're the quickest to sell out your teammates!"
Selling out teammates, infighting, mutual backstabbing, if you don't want me to have a good time, I won't let you have a good time either! To be honest... for them, it's an everyday occurrence.
No wonder it feels so familiar, this sense of selling out teammates, isn't this their Gintama-style friendship! How did they end up on the wrong set?
.....
[ As the two argued, Megumin's voice grew softer and softer, and suddenly her expression changed! Kazuma looked back and saw that the window was covered in dolls.
"Waaahhh—!"
Kazuma and Megumin screamed together, then ran for their lives, narrowly escaping to the toilet, which unfortunately was a single stall.
Kazuma could only endure his urge to urinate outside the door, waiting for Megumin. Then he heard some movement at the door, and without thinking twice, he forcefully pushed open the toilet door!
Megumin, blushing, let out a shriek: "Eeeek—"
Kazuma, with his eyes closed, grabbed Megumin and ran. Megumin didn't even have time to pull up her pants, but luckily her pajamas were long enough to prevent any indecent exposure.
At this point, Megumin stubbornly insisted that the Crimson Demon clan doesn't need to use toilets. Kazuma had never been so speechless in his life: "I'm at my limit!"
As she ran, Megumin thoughtfully brought a vase for Kazuma: "I knew this would happen, so I brought one! Please use it..."
"No way!"
Despite his words, in pursuit of the dolls, the two dove into a utility room. Kazuma was on the verge of bursting and was about to just pee into the vase.
Listening to the sounds outside the door, Megumin was almost scared senseless and involuntarily began to chant explosion magic: "Darker than black..."
Kazuma quickly covered her mouth. If she unleashed it, the house would be gone too. Cornered, Kazuma decided to fight!
"Come at me if you dare!! You evil spirit! Then let my mad dog goddess finish you off."
Kazuma roared and forcefully pushed open the door, hearing something slam against the door panel. The air became quiet for a moment.
Aqua lay on the ground, her forehead red and her eyes rolled back, with the lifeless doll next to her... and Darkness calling out Aqua's name.
And so, the group successfully completed the exorcism mission. ]
[ .....]
〜Projection of All Worlds〜
"Kazuma actually closed his eyes. I even thought he would take this opportunity to shamelessly peek. I really misjudged him."
"Mad dog goddess... good heavens, Kazuma really respects Aqua, that's an accurate description."
It's a good thing Megumin's explosion magic wasn't unleashed, otherwise the house would definitely be gone, and with that huge debt, Kazuma would be freezing on the streets this winter.
Who was just running and shouting "Aqua-sama" a moment ago, and now she's the "mad dog goddess"? That's a quick change.
.....
〜Delicious in Dungeon World〜
Laios pondered for a moment:
"Should we also praise Megumin for being so thoughtful and bringing a vase... From a certain perspective, at least it's more suitable than a sake bottle."
She didn't even have time to put on her pants, yet she still had time to grab a vase, truly detail-oriented!
Chilchuck gave Laios a speechless look:
"But the key is, is that something a girl should say?"
As expected, she's a little girl whom adventurers call "having some screw loose in the head," truly living up to her reputation.
"That looks like it hurts!"
Marushiru couldn't help but gasp as she looked at the large bump on Aqua's head.
Aqua's intelligence was already below average, and now she's injured her brain. She should be alright, right?
After all, Aqua's intelligence has no more room to drop!
