Chapter 2: Konosuba - Gig of legendary…
So this gig is going around when there is a bunch of adventures gathered outside on a grass field. Its something like a gathering for war or dungeon raid preparation. For so, the main cast, plus some extra like Vanir and Misurugi Kyouya, (Another out-lander send there by Aqua. Hero of Axel. One of (Top?) adventurers. Former owner of cheat item the cursed sword Gram. A traditional generic fantasy story hero, but naive, narcissistic, materialistic, dense and unable to read the room.), are gathered around table with maps to discus a strategy. Kazuma as the one who had a tons of experiences from playing video games, take the lead of planing to prevent tactic of suicidal mad rush into deeps of dungeon. The two reincarnated nerd heroes [Kazuma, Misurugi] left surrounding people, adventures and others parties members in awe, as they show so high skills in planing this operation/raid, that rivaling on level whit army generals. Vanir, just from one glance at the planing, they manage to do before they even touch the question to go in, must told them that he is impressed and they actually can pull it out. Those two, quickly not just establishes general long term strategy; like goals, rules, formations, tactic, logistic and support operation. They established like; witch question need to be answered before moving further, for what to look in case of traps and security, or how to secure an escape route, so no one will get lose or stay behind.
But that's not important for now, as the story move they got into a talk about weaponry, and it got to point where audience mocked Kazuma and Misurugi for they (spare looking) weapons; Aqua got bratty excited to show off. So she, skipping a few important though process steps, got into god mode and decide to summon for Kazuma, a weapon adequate to his status of (The hero of goddess.), who have quest to save this world. But hardly anybody know that or willing to believe. She dragged Kazuma a little bit to side, for them to have a space.
Standing there, with closed eyes and open arms in T-pose to hug the world, she manifest a very powerfully construct of magical circles. But the name she used in that flashy summoning ritual was a "Heroic sword Excalibur".
Kazuma to late realized, that (naming a thing), labeling it with magical tag or by special writing technique, have a magical meaning in this world. And guess (What?) got that name from Megumin, when Kazuma was incapacitated. His male pride. He was unable to stop Aqua to talk about what she doing, because he found his body to not responding to his will.
At that moment even Misurugi step up to hold the goddess from what-ever she was doing because he aimed to ask if she can use this method to retrieve his "Cursed sword Gram" from him.
But Aqua was unstoppable, as if she was a different person, (differ personality), already engulfing both boys in her magical ceremony with lots of special visual effect inside her over-shiny magical circle. Except the duo who look like they social life is going to die, everybody around was in awe.
.
Yet... When the Arch-priestess was done, and all the showy effect faded away; in front of her, were standing a two (somehow attractive) female adventurers, holding they mighty weapons in they hands. Both of them got a sweet face as everybody around was staring at them.
Female blonde (Misurugi) asked the black haired companion next to her/him with shaky voice. "Hey, Kazuma Sato, aren't we just... here like..." She/he was trying to confirm, how it must look, from the other out-lander perspective.
Blackly girl standing next to, hardly keep it together: "Standing here, holding ours male pride in hands? Yes…"
.
Misurugi chan/girl was glancing around with only her eyes. "A- and our companions?..." He refereed to they female teammates.
Kazuma chan feel they staring at her skin, was stating the obvious. "Staring at us predatory, but don't jet understands?-- Yes."
.
As the crow start to whisper blonde was getting desperate. "Aren't this state a bad thing, from certain point of view?"
Terrified blacky feels that on a level the surrounded people cant. "From our male pride perspective, to be turned into collectible booty? Yes."
.
Yet a bratty Aqua, who was standing there victoriously with pride long nose, she was expecting a praise with her hands on her hips. Then as her gaze went from successfully summoned weaponry to the gender bended owners, she got confused. "Ara?/He?" At moment she tilled her head thinking: (Who dared to mess with her casting?!) Then she remembered at what Megumin done to Kazuma, finally figuring what mus occurred. So she make this mocking giggle, settling a big malicious grin on her face.
Of course that triggered a (How could you?!) cry reaction on female Kazuma as he/she, leach out at Aqua. Awkwardly running to her.
.
She got frightened like if he want to attack her with the sword, but it was a little bit different.
He cheek slap her with the flat part, gently placing that metal on her head, and as he/she press that side on her so she bend a little, he/she shout. "How do you like my D~~~ on you face?!"
To pour more salt into it, blonde approached her to blabbing something about a (not been in contract), and that weapon was too close to aqua personal space.
.
She hissed. So she yell at them, that this feel weird and they shall keep that things away from her. She eventually jumped back, trying to calm them down. "Its okay! Its only a summon, you can eventually undo it a redo."
Yet Kazuma chan scream. "Don't you dare to impose, that for use this thing, I must reach to my pants and shout (Ban-Kai!)" [Reference to secret sword activation/release technique.]
Misurugi chan was crying with face in her hands. "This is too cringe."
.
But priestess tried to convince them that is not that bad as it seems to be.
That triggered reaction on Kazuma, screaming something about example from first hand. So he/she began a little dance performer show, about summoning that sword with a cool lines. Yet the gestures and moves this adventurer made, were kinda pervy. Clearly overplayed. "Hear my word, Heroic sword Excalibur, rise from the dormant state onto the light of fame. The heroic phase finally arrived. There is nothing I cant pierce with this. Foes of friend, its conquering time!"
With heavy motivation from the blacky, blonde was forced to swallow her pride, and turn to do some typical hero flame speech, yet there was more to it, because of what he/she was holding in her hand. Clearly overplayed. "Hear my voice, cursed sword gram, release itself from the manly chains of masculinity! This is time for the destiny my brother. As I knight with the blessing of goddess steeping onto threshold for her goodwill favour. So for all to see, I will wild my weapon upright to the battle, for me and her. In the name of lady Aqua, I will slay the best, conquer the obstacle, and for the climax,-- claim the booty." [treasure/ ship rear/ butt]
.
Aqua get traumatized, and start freak-out screaming holding her head from side. The two join them, in her freak out. As they move they bodies a lot, from observer perspective its seemed like they having a weird dance.
.

[After word]
-I though to add a line where Megumin with a dreadful expression confess, that in they Crimson village, she know a person who had a similarly legendary blade weapon, yet never use it. It was a certain female. (maybe her mom)
-I though to add a passage, (if it was a wider/longer story), a passage where Kazuma empathize that they, as raid party, cannot afford to lose both Aqua and Chris at same time. When princess Iris asked about herself, that will be tragic and there will be reckoning/revenge, for them facing the court. Then he tried to explain to other that as they at last bring a bone of fallen companion to Aqua, she will bring them back to life.
Then she was asked as how its the time limit, so she pull out a (digital calculator with math functions) and start do the counting. As bot outlanders glanced over her shoulder they got terrified that she was used derivation, integral, trigonometry, and other nonsense until she spat out that half of day. And day if she have an altar. On spot Kazuma yell at her that they don't building a blood altar. She bark back that she means a holly altar. After some arguing, Kazuma search for someone who will be in charge of Aqua to not blow up them or operation. Especially keeping eye on Megumin and Claire (princess knight who show intentions to intended, quick draw a blade against Kazuma). After some elimination method he put in charge Sena the prosecutor, who wasn't even adventurer and that choice shocked everybody around.
They actually build the altar, and with Aqua on it, it was attracting a lot of monster (seeking salvation from a goddess), so some of the axis cults act as cannon folder, because arch-priestess was bringing them back to life.
-I though of the party clearing the dungeon, and Kazuma had a difficulty to baby sitting the duo of lollies on his sides, as Megumin and princess Iris have they own mind and hunger for some action.
