[ The next day, after the succubus incident came to an end, the Adventurers' Guild suddenly issued an emergency alarm: "DESTROYER ALERT! THE MOBILE FORTRESS DESTROYER IS CURRENTLY CONTINUOUSLY APPROACHING THIS TOWN!!"
"ALL ADVENTURERS, PLEASE PUT ON YOUR EQUIPMENT AND GATHER AT THE ADVENTURERS' GUILD!! ALL RESIDENTS OF THE TOWN, PLEASE EVACUATE IMMEDIATELY!!"
Before Kazuma could react, the panicked Aqua had already pushed a cart, pulling large bags and small bags, and ran over: "Run! Run as far as possible."
Megumin also carried her luggage, looking like she was about to flee: "The mobile fortress Destroyer, fighting that thing is too foolish."
Kazuma asked speechlessly: "So what is that..."
Darkness, already wearing her armor, slowly walked out of the house: "It's a fearsome ancient weapon, said to leave nothing but barren land in its wake, not even a single blade of grass surviving where it has passed."
Kazuma swallowed nervously, somewhat scared, but quickly made a decision: "Everyone, let's go to the guild!"
"We finally have a house, how can we let it be easily destroyed!" ]

"Yare yare, what's the origin of this mobile fortress that it can directly scare Kazuma's group of not-so-normal teammates into wanting to run away?"
"This is the first time I've seen a hero protect a town for such a realistic reason, just because he doesn't want his house to be destroyed. This hero is a bit too pragmatic!"
Good heavens, although Aqua is silly, she is still a goddess after all. She usually looks arrogant and disdainful when she sees high-ranking members of the Demon King's army.
Now, just hearing the name of the mobile fortress, she doesn't even have the thought of resisting. She just pulls a cart with large and small bags, unhesitatingly planning to run away.
Everyone immediately had black lines on their faces. Aqua... no matter what, you're still a goddess. You cower so quickly, bully the weak and fear the strong; you've really mastered it. You're too real.
.....
〜Re: Zero - Starting Life in Another World〜
The reactions of Kazuma's party caught the attention of Natsuki Subaru and others:
"Huh... This alarm really seems like a big deal!"
Aqua being scared and running away is understandable, after all, her personality is somewhat bullying the weak and fearing the strong.
But Megumin, normally, should want to unleash an Explosion spell on the mobile fortress! Now, even the crazy Megumin wants to run away, which already explains the problem.
Darkness's reaction is normal, but unfortunately, she's a pervert, so she can't be used for judgment...
As for Kazuma... uh, let's just say this reason is very much his style, it's indeed something he would do.
〜Frieren: Beyond Journey's End World〜
"So this is... a house defense battle, just for this reason?"
Although Kazuma planned to defend the town, this reason made Frieren a little dumbfounded. Normally, shouldn't it be to protect the residents of the town?
And Aqua, as a goddess, was actually the first one to want to run away. The key is that she was so fast, packing her luggage in an instant.
Watching the reactions of Kazuma's party, Fern also became curious about this mysterious mobile fortress. After all, not many things can scare this group of oddballs; they might not even flinch in front of the Demon King.
.....
[ "Oh! You really came, Kazuma! I knew you would!" Fully armed, Kazuma and the others arrived at the guild and saw Dust, also heavily equipped.
And various male adventurers, all rushing here with the strongest heavy equipment they could think of.
But all the adventurers present looked worried, causing someone to speak up: "If only Mitsurugi-san were here!"
Kazuma heard this and immediately looked away guiltily, pretending he knew nothing. ]
[ .....]
〜Projection of All Worlds〜
"Hahaha, Dust, you've misjudged him. Kazuma might be partly for the town, but mostly it's definitely for his house!"
"Mitsurugi still hasn't found his demon sword Gram, isn't that too tragic? How long has he been looking?"
"Uh... is it my imagination, or is the proportion of males in this beginner village a bit high? They must really love this town!"
.....
〜KonoSuba: God's Blessing on This Wonderful World〜
"PROTECT THE TOWN TO THE DEATH!!!"
All the male adventurers' eyes blazed with fire, facing the mobile fortress Destroyer without flinching!
"OH!!!"
Dust looked ready to die generously for it, echoing loudly.
Kazuma quietly pulled Dust aside and whispered,
"What's going on? This isn't like you."
Dust said seriously:
"If this town is gone, where will we find such a good succubus big sister's shop again?"
Kazuma pointed to the adventurers who were pumped up like they'd been given a shot of adrenaline:
"So they are too...?!!"
Seeing Dust nod, Kazuma finally understood that they didn't love the town so much, but rather the succubus shop. Their love ran deep.
"My ambition is too small... compared to them, doing it for a house is too small-minded."
No wonder the proportion of male adventurers in this town was so high.
Then Kazuma also unhesitatingly joined the adventurers' cheers, vowing to protect the town to the death!
.....
[ The so-called mobile fortress Destroyer was originally a weapon built by the great magic technology nation of Noise to counter the Demon King's army! It was a super-large golem, resembling a spider in appearance, and the size of a small castle.
Moreover, its body utilized the culmination of Noise's magic technology, constantly deploying a powerful magic barrier. Therefore, magic attacks were completely meaningless.
Due to its astonishing speed, there was almost no place on this continent that it hadn't wreaked havoc on. It indiscriminately trampled both humans and monsters alike; that was the mobile fortress, the Destroyer. ]
[ .....]
〜Projection of All Worlds〜
"So that means it's massive, incredibly fast, practically immune to magic thanks to the barrier, and landing powerful physical attacks is nearly impossible… they basically created a beast for themselves!"
Good heavens, a machine built to counter the Demon King's army ended up destroying itself... Everyone somewhat suspected that the Demon King hadn't caused as much destruction as the Destroyer they created.
No wonder Megumin also wanted to run away; her Explosion magic was completely countered by this magic-immune barrier.
.....
[ Kazuma pondered for a moment, then turned to Aqua: "Aqua, you should be able to destroy the Destroyer's barrier, right?"
Aqua tilted her head and thought, not quite sure: "I won't know unless I try."
The guild receptionist heard this and looked excited, telling Aqua to give it her best shot: "In that case, all that's left is magic that can deal enough damage!"
One of the adventurers immediately chimed in: "There is, isn't there? There's that girl with powerful firepower, that crazy girl."
Everyone immediately thought of Megumin: "That's right! That crazy girl!"
"Yeah! That crazy girl."
"Stare..." All the adventurers present looked at Megumin. It goes without saying who the crazy girl was. ]
[ .....]
〜Projection of All Worlds〜
"Hahahaha, the crazy girl, it's already a recognized fact. How long has it been? It's already common knowledge."
"After going in a big circle, it turns out that it still relies on Kazuma's party: Aqua breaks the barrier, and Megumin deals the damage."
Everyone laughed until tears came out. These adventurers really know how to talk.
Now, when asking for help, they don't even want to call her Megumin; they just call her "the crazy girl."
A leader who likes to steal underwear, a goddess whose intelligence is below the passing line, a crazy explosion magic user, plus a perverted female knight who can't hit anything.
Although this team is eccentric and seems utterly useless at first glance, in some ways, they are still very reliable.
