I can't wait to set off two explosions at the same time! Oh, imagining it makes me giddy! Hehe! Our first target should be this creepy house out in the boonies... ”

She's getting ahead of herself.

“ Yes! That's it! ”

Megumin is ecstatic! “ You'll need to cast that a lot to get better, but with your badass lifestyle, you'll be racking up skill points in no time! Man...my first explosion buddy! ⤵

"Okay… Tinder!"

A minuscule flame flickered into existence above his fingertips. His eyes immediately brightened with astonishment.

"It worked!"

“ Hm...here, I'll put a skill point or two into flame magic! ”

She pokes his card twice. Beep, beep.

“ Okay! ” Megumin hands him his card back. “ I want you to try and cast the Tinder spell! Think really hot thoughts and imagine lighting my hat on fire! ”

“ Well, lemme check your skills. Gimme your adventurer card! ”

She extends her hand and makes the "gimme" motion.

"Well, it does sound like one of the simpler spells to learn."

"So, what do I gotta do first?"

“ I am! ” She smiled, leading Deku over to the mansion's backyard.

“ Okay. So, first things first. Fire magic. It's pretty easy to learn! ”

[𝑫𝑶 𝒀𝑶𝑼𝑹 𝑩𝑬𝑺𝑻.ᐟ @Deku_of_UA_]

Hopefully they don’t get too rough with each other.

“Already playing with each other fine.”

“Anyway, ready to get down to business, Megumin?”

[𝑪𝒓𝒂𝒛𝒚 𝑬𝒙𝒑𝒍𝒐𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑮𝒊𝒓𝒍 .ᐟ.ᐟ.ᐟ @TheExplosionGod]

She's robbed a lot of banks lately. It's her new hobby.

Chomusuke is already chasing Docha around.

[𝑫𝑶 𝒀𝑶𝑼𝑹 𝑩𝑬𝑺𝑻.ᐟ @Deku_of_UA_]

“That’s pretty sweet to know! It was definitely a good idea to bring them here for this day!”

He sets Docha down as the dog lets out happy pants.

“ My Chomusuke has been with me for years! She's practically my best friend! You're in for a wonderful journey! ” Megumin smiled, setting her cat down.

Chomusuke was glaring at Docha.

[𝑫𝑶 𝒀𝑶𝑼𝑹 𝑩𝑬𝑺𝑻.ᐟ @Deku_of_UA_]

A stark contrast to Docha’s more peppy personality.

“That’s right! Got him not too long ago! He’s a good boy!”

[𝑪𝒓𝒂𝒛𝒚 𝑬𝒙𝒑𝒍𝒐𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑮𝒊𝒓𝒍 .ᐟ.ᐟ.ᐟ @TheExplosionGod]

...yeah, Chomuske wasn't feeling the same way. Dogs? Not a fan.

“ He's so precious! Docha, right? ”

Megumin was petting the pup, while Chomuske was vibrating with jealousy.

[𝑫𝑶 𝒀𝑶𝑼𝑹 𝑩𝑬𝑺𝑻.ᐟ @Deku_of_UA_]

“Hehe! Thank you, thank you! He’s an adorable little guy!”

He’d bring Docha closer to Megumin, to which Docha began to sniff her and give her happy barks!

“I think he likes you!”

“What’s his name?”

[𝑪𝒓𝒂𝒛𝒚 𝑬𝒙𝒑𝒍𝒐𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑮𝒊𝒓𝒍 .ᐟ.ᐟ.ᐟ @TheExplosionGod]

“ I have one! He's very sweet. He knows a lot of tricks, too! ”

She holds up her cat, smiling.

“Now that I have a pet, I can speak from experience now that having an adorable little guy to call your best friend is one of the best things you can have.”

[𝑪𝒓𝒂𝒛𝒚 𝑬𝒙𝒑𝒍𝒐𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑮𝒊𝒓𝒍 .ᐟ.ᐟ.ᐟ @TheExplosionGod]

“ I can try to teach you! But I'm not the greatest coach. ”

Megumin sighed, adjusting her hat.

“ Also blowing stuff up accidentally is the best part! ”
