[ Seeing Darkness and Kazuma starting to quarrel, Aqua quit as well, instantly joining the argument squad: "Please! I even helped replenish mana, what is going on with you guys!"
Several people began pulling and tugging at each other regardless of the situation, while Yunyun, who was being used as bait, was still running away while crying and apologizing.
Just then, Megumin stepped forward and directly began chanting Explosion Magic: "I am Megumin, the foremost and almighty controller, the one who stands above the high heavens of magic and issues commands!"
Accompanying Megumin's chant, a gloomily blue light lit up around her body. Colorful stars continuously burst open, and overwhelming magical power ceaselessly gathered towards her staff!
Seeing this, Megumin's mother shouted at Megumin: "Stop using that kind of gag magic! You're a big girl now, it's so embarrassing."
Sylvia, who had been chasing Yunyun, stopped. She sensed that the magical power surging from Megumin was no joke.
"EXPLOSION—!!"
The Explosion Magic released by Megumin shot towards Sylvia… but halfway through, it took a turn and was absorbed by the mana intake of the Railgun thrown on the ground.
"Eh…" Megumin and the others were all stunned. It looked like such a powerful strike, yet it was just gone?
Aqua directly picked up Komekko, intending to run away, but didn't forget to say solemnly, "Kazuma, as a goddess, I have a responsibility to protect the life of Komekko, so I'll be going first."
But the held Komekko reached out and pointed at the Railgun: "By the way, that place is flashing!"
Kazuma then saw that on its side, a FULL sign was blinking: "This guy isn't broken, it was just out of mana!" ]

"Although they are all Chuuni, Megumin's opening speech has the most style… After all, her brain might be entirely used for making up these lines."
"A roast from her own mom, but… you're telling me Explosion Magic is a gag magic? Whose family's gag magic gets thrown around like a nuke?"
Everyone who had witnessed the destructive power of Explosion Magic couldn't hold it in. As expected, the worldview of the Crimson Demon Village cannot be described by common sense…
Madam, that 'gag magic' in your mouth has a destructive power that is a goal countless magicians fail to reach even after exhausting their entire lives!

〜Type-Moon World, ██████ Worldline〜
In the 7th singularity, Absolute Demonic Front: Babylonia—
Watching Aqua's performance, Ishtar slapped her forehead with a pa sound, no longer holding any expectations for this mentally disabled goddess:
"Aqua… why are you always able to be so unique in a crowd?"
As expected of you. Thinking of running away at the critical moment is one thing, but the excuse you found is laughable. Saying something about being a goddess needing to protect the little life of Komekko…
Even she was a bit speechless. Since you know you are a goddess, don't always think about running away!
The Wise King Gilgamesh laughed loudly without restraint:
"Hahaha, Ishtar, isn't this great? At least you, a useless goddess, have a companion now."
After his customary mockery, he directly ignored Ishtar's gaze that looked as if it could kill people, and instead looked somewhat doubtfully at the mentally disabled goddess on the screen.
Clearly possessing unfathomable magical power, yet failing to fill the 'Railgun'. So, what exactly did you charge it with just now?
It's a critical moment. Could it be that she was slacking off again, showing up but not putting in the effort… Damn, that's actually possible!
.....
[ Kazuma lifted the 'Railgun' and aimed it at Sylvia, who was almost right in front of them: "Remember my name! When you get to the other side, say hello to the other Generals for me!"
"I am Sa…"
"Dong!" Just when Kazuma wanted to handsomely announce his name, Komekko beat him to it and pulled the trigger.
Accompanied by intense recoil, a dazzling flash erupted from the muzzle, instantly piercing through Sylvia's chest. The momentum showed absolutely no sign of decaying, and even a corner of the mountain behind her was obliterated.
Sylvia coughed up blood, seemingly not having fully reacted yet: "Th… This… I… just finished… like this?"
After Sylvia finished speaking, she fell powerlessly to the ground and emitted an explosion. Komekko walked in front of the explosion, whipped her cape, and struck a victory pose.
"I am Komekko, the Crimson Demon Clan's number one devilish little sister, the one who surpasses the Demon King's Generals!"
Kazuma was still holding the Railgun, which had turned into wreckage, standing stiffly in place. His kill was stolen!
And Sylvia, who had been killed, had now arrived at the familiar side of the Sanzu River. Opposite her, the Headless Knight and Hans were welcoming her arrival.
Beldia shouted somewhat happily towards Sylvia: "Come, come over here!"
Hans was muttering to himself on the side: "I've become clean… soap… detergent!"
By the time she reacted, it was too late. She was directly dragged to the bottom of the river by the Headless Knight and Hans.
Aqua hugged the scrapped gun barrel and said with a face full of pity: "What a tragic battle. I swear I will never hurt others again."
Kazuma hurriedly told Aqua to shut up: "Stop saying those flag-raising lines!" ]

〜Projection of All Worlds〜
"Kill steal hahaha! Komekko, this child, has a future from a young age!"
"Hahaha, Headless, you're recruiting souls again? Wiz indicates she knows this place too well. Pity that you didn't wait for Wiz this time."
Everyone outside the video couldn't help but laugh every time they saw the Sanzu River… The Sanzu River, also known as Wiz's Happy River, is always a regular there.
And there's a huge probability of meeting an acquaintance. As expected, it's still you, Brother Headless. Aren't you a bit too dedicated? You're still there even now!

〜A Certain Magical Index World, Academy City〜
Seeing Hans still constantly muttering about soap, Kuroko knew just how miserably this General had been persecuted:
"…Hahaha, laughing to death. This Hans has a grudge against soap."
The Axis Cult truly lives up to being the most terrifying place. Even though he has been dead for so long, Hans still hasn't escaped the shadow of edible soap.
If it really doesn't work out, just hurry up and join the Axis Cult. Although your intelligence might be lowered, it's still better than being insanely persecuted!
On the other side, Kamijou Touma was also truly numb:
"The Sanzu River… is it some kind of Demon King General Retirement Activity Center?"
I'm talking about you, Headless Knight! You were clearly purified by the Goddess Aqua, so go pass on honestly! You're almost becoming an Earthbound Spirit of the Sanzu River.
This isn't some tour group sign-up. Do you really have to wait for everyone to gather before leaving?!
〜Grand Blue Dreaming World〜
Looking at Sylvia, who was instantly one-shotted, Kitahara Iori couldn't help but click his tongue:
"Another Demon King General gone. This is already the fifth one, right?"
Clearly, Kazuma's team has been slacking off on the matter of subduing the Demon King, but why is their efficiency getting faster and faster? He hasn't even left the novice village yet.
Kohei, however, began to worry:
"Honestly, is it okay for Aqua to talk like that? Every time, it's the Goddess raising a Flag that causes trouble."
"Relax!"
Iori reached out and patted Kohei on the shoulder, signaling him to be at ease, and said with confidence,
"Sylvia has sunk to the bottom of the Sanzu River. Can she still stir up any big waves?"
"If anything else can happen, I'll eat this wine bottle too!"
Hearing this, Kohei directly took a wine bottle and placed it in front of Kitahara Iori, showing none of his previous worry:
"Don't you think your words just now were already raising a Flag?!"
"Hiss… You scumbag, you set me up!"
Kitahara Iori sucked in a breath of cold air and reached out to strangle Kohei's neck. I… don't want to eat a wine bottle!
