[ The scene shifts. Kazuma has settled into a life as a playmate, playing games with Iris while occasionally interfering with her studies.

"I hope you can play this game with me today..."

On this day, Iris came to the courtyard clutching a chess set. Carrying the anxiety of potential rejection, she extended an invitation to Kazuma, who was eating high-end snacks.

After swallowing the snack in his hand, Kazuma put on a serious face: "I don’t play that ’going easy on you’ stuff. If we’re going to play, we go all out! Don’t come crying if you lose."

The two sat in chairs, moving pieces rapidly. They played stubbornly from noon all the way to dusk, and Kazuma didn’t win a single game!

Iris looked at the sky, which was already growing dark, and spoke with some hesitation: "Um... let’s stop here for today."

Kazuma, red-eyed from losing, completely snapped. He slammed the table forcefully: "You want to run away after winning?! I told you, if we’re going to play, we have to give it our all!"

"Also, don’t pull any of that ’going easy because I want to end this’ maneuvering. I can tell if you lose on purpose!"

It wasn’t until the two battled into the night that a cheer finally erupted from Kazuma: "Yaha! I won!"

As compensation for playing until late at night, Kazuma gave Iris a bamboo copter and promised to take her out to play with it next time.

"It’s better to go out and see the world more. In this world, there are demons whose neighbors rate them as weirdos, and Liches who feed on bread crusts, you know!"

Iris looked at Kazuma with some suspicion: "Please don’t treat me like a fool just because I’m sheltered. How could there possibly be demons and Liches like that?" ]

〜Projection of All Worlds〜

Watching the life Kazuma was living every day, the crowd outside the video couldn’t help but have dark lines across their faces... What kind of playmate is this? This is clearly a Supreme Court jester!

It’s over. He actually managed to get rid of his three idiot teammates and live the good life! Now, there’s really no hope of him going to subjugate the Demon King...

Watching Kazuma, who had become desperate from losing, Hikigaya sighed speechlessly:

"As expected of you..."

If you suck, just practice more. To actually use these ’eagle-taming’ exhaustion tactics on a little girl, dragging it out from noon to night... That’s too scummy, Kazuma. Are you a child?

And saying you won’t go easy on her—where does a half-wit like you get the confidence to think you can beat a royally educated princess? The result was a crushing defeat.

Yukinoshita also broadened her horizons. As a human being, to be shameless to this extent:

"He clearly only won one game. Listening to that cheer, those who didn’t know better would think it was a complete victory!"

It gave her a strange illusion: Iris losing one game after playing all day looked like a decline, while Kazuma winning one game the next day looked like unstoppable momentum!

However, seeing Kazuma coax Iris back into a good mood with just a few moves, Yukinoshita’s expression softened... To be fair, although Kazuma usually seems quite crazy, he really is a good person.

〜KonoSuba: God’s Blessing on This Wonderful World〜

"Eh? A Lich who eats bread crusts as a staple food... could he be talking about me?"

Hearing Kazuma’s description, Wiz pointed at herself, wanting to cry but having no tears.

I’m very sorry, Princess. Perhaps it’s different from your worldview, but what Mr. Kazuma said is the truth. Such Liches and demons really do exist...

Wiz looked at her empty shop, tears streaming down her face:

"I usually don’t feel it, but why does it feel so heartbreaking when I hear someone else say it!"

Getting poorer the more I work isn’t what I wanted! Mr. Vanir, where are you? Come save your future shop manager!

If the shop goes bankrupt, you won’t have a place to work, and you might face an unemployment crisis!

"Achoo..."

Vanir, who was still somewhere else, sneezed and looked at himself with some self-doubt:

"Do demons catch colds?"

Forget it, it’s more important to go to that unreliable shop manager first. Kazuma’s knowledge is a vast fortune...

.....

[ Just like that, another week passed. Kazuma had gradually grown accustomed to this luxurious life. He woke up from his dream in a very seductive pose, then clapped his hands.

"Sebas, bring me a refreshing cup of coffee."

A very elegant elderly butler appeared in response: "It is Hagen..."

After giving his orders, Kazuma lay back down on the bed... It was about time for the maid to come and change the sheets. As a noble, how should he obstruct her today?

Knock, knock... Hearing the knock on the door, Kazuma immediately went to the door in a very flamboyant manner: "Good morning. Don’t think I’ll let you change the sheets that easily~"

While coquettishly taking off his bathrobe, he posed in various postures, preening and prancing: "If you want to change them quickly, you have to say it like this... Master, please allow me to serve Master..."

Kazuma’s voice got quieter and quieter until his whole brain crashed. After opening the door, he found the three teammates he had forgotten for a week.

Darkness stared at Kazuma with eyes looking at scum: "Allow what? Keep talking, Kazuma..."

Kazuma, kneeling on the floor, lowered his head deeply, his voice sounding like he was crying: "M-Master, please allow me to ’take’ the sheets stained with Master’s scent..."

Darkness frowned: "What about the sheets stained with scent? Aren’t you very good at sexual harassment? Don’t be shy, finish your sentence."

Later, through conversation, it was learned that because Megumin was worried about Kazuma all day, the group had come together to take Kazuma back.

Hearing this, Kazuma got tough: "I have already been employed as Iris’s playmate. Do not interfere with my stable life!"

But Aqua was seized by anger, putting her hands on her hips and starting to throw a tantrum: "It’s too cunning for just Kazuma to be here alone! We defeated the generals together! I want to live in the castle too; otherwise, it’s too unfair!" ]

〜Re: Zero - Starting Life in Another World〜

Watching the incredibly flamboyant Kazuma, Natsuki Subaru was dumbfounded, staring blankly as he said:

"I didn’t expect a person could die from social embarrassment so many times..."

Looking at Kazuma’s appearance, which was overflowing with sleaze, he couldn’t help but want to slap him! This guy is too absurd; he’s invincible.

Every time he has a social death scene, he gets caught red-handed by his teammates. Look at the eyes of your teammates! Those are eyes looking at scum, Kazuma-san!

Now the title of "scum" is truly solidified. In just one week, he’s already picked up the bad habits of nobles. If this continues, it’ll be disastrous.

Rem and Ram looked at each other, both feeling pity for that maid:

"It must be really hard to hold back from punching Kazuma every day." 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

Anyway, they couldn’t stand it anymore. He was simply too flashy... As the saying goes, money is hard to earn, and shit is hard to eat. Kazuma’s behavior could only be described as unexpected, yet within reason.

〜Type-Moon World, Unlimited Blade Works Worldline〜

"Hahaha, that’s really rare. So you get shy too..."

Tohsaka Rin laughed, lying on the table. It was just too funny.

Caught red-handed in a social death scene, he was even aggrieved enough to cry. It’s hilarious; this is a public execution!

Emiya Shirou sighed with emotion:

"As expected of the Goddess of Wisdom, Aqua. Her performance is exceptionally stable. Look at that peculiar point of focus."

He just wanted to say one thing to Aqua... Wake up, Aqua! You are a Water Goddess; isn’t Heaven much better than this royal palace?

Illya was speechless:

"This guy has already decided to be a playmate for the rest of his life..."

Not long ago, he said he hoped those cheaters would get serious. I think the one who needs to get serious the most is you, you bastard hero and retard goddess!

.....

[ Their conversation was also overheard by Iris. Although reluctant, she prepared to hold a farewell banquet, after which she would let Kazuma and the others return.

At the banquet, Aqua held up a cantaloupe that was still jumping around and shouted,

"Kazuma, this is super delicious! Pure natural wild melon paired with raw ham!"

Meanwhile, the nobles attending the banquet one after another proposed marriage interviews to Darkness. Even the Lord whose villa was blown up by Kazuma appeared.

Seeing Darkness about to fall into a predicament, Kazuma, unable to watch any longer, had to step in: "Hey, what about our rotten relationship? What do you mean, Lalatina? Are you dumping me?"

Hearing Kazuma’s words, all the nobles present looked at Darkness in shock.

"Think about our sweet times together. Not long ago, you were calling me Master..."

Although he resolved the situation for Darkness, Kazuma, feeling regretful afterward, ran to the terrace to get some air: "Actually, I only had a tiny bit of malice. I just saw Darkness looking a bit embarrassed, so I said some strange things."

"Speaking of which, isn’t this my farewell party? Everyone is leaving the protagonist aside and chatting so happily. The protagonist is right here!" ]

[ .....]

〜A Certain Magical Index World, Academy City〜

Kamijou Touma was shocked, his eyes almost popping out:

"This melon... I can only say it’s fresh... No, this is overly fresh!"

He had grown up this big, and it was his first time seeing a live cantaloupe... Oh my god! Pure natural fruit, isn’t that a bit too natural? It’s still alive.

What kind of weird fruits are these, jumping around like that? And you guys can actually bring yourselves to eat them!

Cabbages that move, edible fruits that move... who exactly is farming the crops in this other world?

One careless moment and you could be solo-killed by a vegetable in minutes...

〜My Youth Romantic Comedy Is Wrong, as I Expected World〜

"Hiss—"

Yukinoshita took a sharp breath, watching Kazuma, looking horrified:

"What an incredible way to handle a situation..."

Such a novel method. It’s just that Darkness’s reputation was stripped clean. Kazuma’s emotional intelligence is really high, but his scumminess is also truly scummy.

Now, not only is the situation resolved, but Darkness has probably been vetoed by a unanimous vote for the rest of her life.

"You have to admit it resolved it..."

Hikigaya felt this method was very familiar to him. Isn’t this the self-destruct style?

What he said was all true, but unfortunately, they were truths that shouldn’t be spread. Kazuma is a good person, but sometimes he really is too scummy.
