We arrived in Axel and decided to go to the Guild first. Having captured two Demon King's generals, we naturally had to report it. I asked Luna how she was doing and told her about the generals.
"Excuse me??? You captured two Demon King's generals at the same time???"
Luna seemed very surprised. We showed Luna our Adventurer Cards. After looking at them, she said,
"W-well, it's true. Hans and Vanir... Is everyone uninjured?"
"Kazuma died once. Fortunately, he could be resurrected, so everyone came back safely."
"I-I see. Anyway, Hans's bounty is 400 million eris, and Vanir's is 300 million eris. That's a huge amount, and I also need to report it to the palace. So you won't be able to receive the reward right away."
"Okay. We'll leave it to you. And we've added a new priest to our party, named Cecily."
At that, Luna looked quite flustered.
"Excuse me? If it's Cecily, she wouldn't happen to be from the Axis Church..."
"Huh? Do you know her?"
"W-well... She came to Axel Village once before. She caused a disturbance by throwing rocks at the Axel Eris Church branch, so she's somewhat famous..."
It seemed Cecily was also known as a troublemaker in Axel Village.
"I see... I'll talk to her and make sure that doesn't happen again."
"Yes."
I went over to the others and told them about the bounty for the Demon King's generals. Everyone was overjoyed.
"Then, since it's 700 million eris, that's 100 million eris each, right? Wow..."
When Aqua said that, Kazuma disagreed.
"No, Tae-jin took down Vanir alone. So he should take 300 million, and we should split the remaining 400 million among ourselves."
I patted Kazuma on the shoulder and said,
"Let's not do that. Let's split the bounty equally this time. If I had been alone, I would have had to fight two-on-one. So you all contributed too."
Hearing that, Aqua was overjoyed.
"That's Tae-jin for you! So generous!"
We returned home in good spirits. Helen had been watching the house while we were away. I gave Helen a generous bonus and sent her off, then assigned Cecily a room. There was a brief commotion because Cecily insisted on the room next to Megumin and Yunyun's, but in the end, it was decided as she wished.
Then I strongly warned Cecily not to go to the Eris Church and cause trouble. Cecily, though dissatisfied, accepted.
"Tch! That's too bad. It's so much fun messing with the Eris Church..."
Cecily seemed to think of causing trouble at the Eris Church as a form of entertainment. Anyway, that evening we held a celebration for defeating the Demon King's generals and a welcome party for Cecily. I made delicious food, and everyone happily ate and drank.
"Come to think of it, everyone who married Tae-jin is a blonde with big breasts."
Cecily looked back and forth at Luna and Darkness as she spoke. Then everyone looked at Luna and Darkness and agreed.
"Really! No way, is Tae-jin's type blonde with big breasts?"
When Kazuma said that, I explained.
"It just turned out that way. It's not my type."
Cecily ignored me and said with a smile,
"Oh~ So that means I'm a target too?"
"I told you, I'm not like that. Really."
Yunyun also grabbed me and said,
"Tae-jin! Should I dye my hair blonde?"
"I said that's not it."
They seemed to be having fun with this and kept teasing me, but they stopped after each receiving a knuckle sandwich from me.
Three days passed like that, and then Sena came to our house from the palace.
"Head Inspector, it's been a while. I stopped by to confirm that you had captured Demon King's generals."
"Oh~ Sena! It's been a while. Have you found a good man yet?"
"Well... not yet..."
"Hmm... That's too bad. It's not like you're ugly, so I wonder what the problem is."
At that, Sena was extremely embarrassed. Anyway, Sena listened to our testimony and checked our Adventurer Cards.
"Amazing. To defeat two Demon King's generals at once..."
"By the way, it seems the generals are now operating in pairs rather than alone. We heard this directly from a general, so it should be accurate."
"I see. Understood. I'll report it to the palace immediately."
I treated Sena and the knights to a delicious meal, having not seen them in a while, and sent them back to the palace. Two days later, Luna called Kazuma's party and our party to the Guild.
"In honor of the achievements of Tae-jin's party and Kazuma's party in defeating the Demon King's generals, I award you a total bounty of 700 million eris."
The Guild erupted in commotion again.
Wooo~~~!!!
Tae-jin! Tae-jin!
Kazuma! Kazuma!
Mad Widow! Mad Widow!
When the adventurers at the Guild chanted Kazuma's name, he, feeling very pleased, stood on a table and shouted,
"Hmph! You guys!! Drinks are on me today. Drink up~~!!!"
Wooo~~~~!!!
Kazuma!! Kazuma!! Kazuma!!
Mad Widow! Mad Widow!
At that, the adventurers cheered again, chanting Kazuma's name. Kazuma was overjoyed, but Megumin glared at the adventurers with an angry expression. The adventurers averted their eyes. Eventually, Megumin stopped glaring, sat down, and complained to us.
"Why is my alias 'Mad Widow'!"
Darkness, finding it hard to say, answered while lightly scratching her cheek.
"Ahaha... W-well, because you caused such a scene at the wedding..."
"Is that my fault? This is so unfair!"
As Megumin complained bitterly, Yunyun and Darkness tried to comfort her.
"Kazuma! Show us Steal!"
"Yeah! Steal!"
When an adventurer waved a handkerchief and asked to see Steal, Kazuma struck a pose and stepped forward, showing off.
"I suppose I have no choice. Watch closely! Hohoho!"
Kazuma made strange hand gestures, preparing to use Steal. The adventurers chanted in anticipation.
Steal~! Steal~! Steal~!
"Steal!!"
Then, unfortunately for Chris, who was unaware of the situation and happened to open the Guild door at that bad timing, behind the handkerchief, Chris's panties ended up being stolen once again due to the wind. Seeing that, the male adventurers cheered even more.
Wooo~~~~!!!
"No!! Give me back my panties!!!"
Chris was extremely flustered, but Kazuma, enjoying the situation, twirled Chris's panties around.
"Wahahahaha!!"
Despite everything, we spent a fun time drinking with the adventurers at the Guild, then returned home.
I woke up early the next day, prepared breakfast for Luna, sent her off to the Guild, and then thought about heading to the MCU.
Because after numerous fights, my nano particles were almost gone, and the Talaria RV, which I had used often, was damaged beyond self-repair.
Moreover, as I had traveled through various creative works, I had accumulated many needs. To replenish them, I needed to go to the Marvel universe quickly.
Before that, I decided to check if there was anything else I could obtain in Konosuba.
"Ah! Come to think of it, there was a Japanese person who came here before and built a rideable golem and a beautiful girl golem."
That Japanese person had the power of creation and had come to the Konosuba world after receiving a special blessing.
He was an eccentric who gave up on defeating the Demon King and only created strange things, but later he was a genius who even created the Crimson Demons.
I wanted to analyze the golems he had built early on. Because, unlike in the MCU, the technology of golems powered by mana would be necessary when creating androids utilizing artificial intelligence. So I absolutely had to obtain it.
The kids were still asleep, so I headed to the Guild first. However, it seemed the golem extermination quest had not yet been posted.
"Oh? Tae-jin, why are you here so early? If I'd known, I would have walked here with you."
Luna, having just arrived at work, was puzzled to see me at the Guild.
"No, I just remembered something. I'll be going back home."
"Ah~ I see."
"And you know, when you have time, let's go on a trip together. You're my first wife, but it's been bothering me that we haven't been able to go on a trip together."
Luna looked slightly moved and said,
"That's true. We've both been busy. Let's make time sometime and go on a trip."
"Yeah, let's do that."
After promising Luna, I left the Guild, took [Jack Sparrow's Compass] out of my inventory, located the position, and started moving quickly. Since there was no quest, even if I dealt with the golems, no one would know or try to stop me.
After about 20 minutes of travel, I saw a bizarre building that looked like a mix of modern architecture and a pyramid.
"Here it is."
I looked around. In the original story, the rideable golem was used outside as a guard for the building, so I expected it to be buried somewhere nearby underground.
After looking around a bit, just as expected, a massive golem emerged from the ground and began attacking, swinging its fist. But I quickly dodged, jumped onto the golem's head, and hacked it. If the Destroyer could be hacked, then this golem could naturally be hacked as well.
After the hack was complete, the golem stood motionless. I put it into my inventory to analyze later in the MCU. With the rideable golem done, I entered the building and began selecting golems and research data to take.
Occasionally, some golems attacked, but I quickly dealt with them and also put all the golems in a locked vault inside into my inventory.
"Phew... That's done."
I went outside, used Explosion magic to blow up the entire building, making the terrain match the surroundings, and then returned to Axel Village. Finally, I moved to Wiz's shop to buy potions to raise my Skill Points and level.
"Welcome. Ah~ Tae-jin, you're here. Nice to see you."
"Nice to see you too, Wiz. I'm here to buy potions that raise Skill Points and Experience Points again today."
"I see. Wait a moment."
I sat down to wait. Vanir, wearing an apron, came over and served me tea.
"Hahaha, you're surprised that I'm here... no, you're not."
Vanir looked very disappointed when I didn't seem surprised.
"Unless you destroy a demon's main body in Hell, they don't die. So I thought you'd be back someday, but I didn't expect it to be so soon."
"I see. You're a very boring person. At any rate, I've agreed to go into business with Wiz here. So I'll be in your care from now on."
"Yeah, you have your work cut out for you. Wiz is a bit lacking as a merchant."
"I know. I've already been working with her for several days."
It seemed Vanir had already been working with Wiz for a few days. As I was chatting with Vanir, Wiz brought the potions.
"Oh? Did you know Vanir, Tae-jin?"
Vanir answered for me.
"Hahaha, yes! This guy forced me to retire from the Demon King's army."
"Ah! I see."
'Retire' was a nice way of putting it; in truth, I had destroyed him. Anyway, I again spent a large sum to buy a large quantity of potions.
"Oh~ With this, we should have enough capital. Thanks for buying our useless potions."
"That's right. If it weren't for you, Tae-jin, I might have starved to death by now. So this time, I'm going to buy a large quantity of the items I've had my eye on and if I sell them..."
Hearing Wiz's story, Vanir looked exasperated.
"Sigh... I told you, those won't sell."
I listened with amusement to the back-and-forth between Wiz and Vanir, then, deciding it was time to go, stood up and said goodbye.
"Wiz, see you next time. Vanir, take care. I think I'll be seeing you often."
Wiz and Vanir also said goodbye.
"Thank you again for your purchase today. See you again~"
"Come again. I'll always have those strange potions in stock."
I returned home, drank the potions in my room, and ended the Entertainment Life.

...
[You have earned 40,351 points as a progress reward for KonoSuba: God's Blessing on This Wonderful World!]
This time, I received more points than expected. Although the time spent was short, capturing the Destroyer and three Demon King's generals seemed to have played a big part.
"Status window!"
[Park Tae-jin]
Strength: 376 (+1128) | Stamina: 369 | Agility: 350 | Intelligence: 313 (+626) | Mana: 652 (+2000)
Points held: 70,544
I had 70,000 points. I thought about saving another 30,000 to do a 100x consecutive draw rather than a random draw this time. But I decided to do a 50x consecutive draw just in case an unexpected situation arose in the MCU.
'Yeah, you never know when an unexpected situation like in Fate might happen.'
The MCU, in particular, was famous for having many god-like beings, so I had no idea what kind of interference might occur. I immediately spent 50,000 points and started the draw. Of course, I used [Blessing] to increase my luck first.
Duplicate abilities that appeared: (S) Energy Bomb, (S) Energy Weapon, (A) Telepathy, (A) Barrier. New abilities obtained: (SSS) Shadow Monarch, (S) Ice (Heroaca), (S) Anti-Gravity Device, (A) Charisma, (A) Tornado Iron Slashing Fist, (A) Bungee Gum.
"Wow! Jackpot!! 'Shadow Monarch'! I can't miss Attack on Titan!"
An EX ability didn't appear this time, but very good abilities did.
(SSS) Shadow Monarch β As the Shadow Monarch, you can call the specters of dead beings and reincarnate them as your subordinate Shadow Soldiers.
(However, the extraction failure rate increases in proportion to your own abilities and the target's abilities, as well as the time elapsed since the target's death.)
Reading the ability description, it seemed I wasn't yet a complete Shadow Monarch. Still, if I could raise the rank just once more, I would likely become one.
"Nice! Next is..."
(S) Anti-Gravity Device β Can use anti-gravity. (Duration: 6 seconds)
(S) Ice (Heroaca) β Can freeze targets or create ice.
(A) Charisma β Influences people with strong presence and charm.
(A) Tornado Iron Slashing Fist β An offensive martial art created by Spring.
(A) Bungee Gum β Imparts the properties of gum to one's physical strength. (Range: 10m)
(S) Anti-Gravity Device is Kenjaku's ability from Jujutsu Kaisen; literally, an anti-gravity technique. It can be used to avoid attacks or escape from black holes. But since I already had the [Guru-Guru Fruit] ability, it was somewhat redundant. I might try to fuse it later.
(S) Ice (Heroaca) is, as the name suggests, an ice ability. I only had fire-based abilities, so I was hoping for an ice ability, and I was lucky. (A) Charisma is just charisma, so I'll skip that.
(A) Tornado Iron Slashing Fist is a technique created by Spring, Bang's older brother from One-Punch Man. If the 'Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist' is a defensive martial art, then the Tornado Iron Slashing Fist is a dangerous art that tears opponents apart. Even Spring was very careful when using it.
Finally, (A) Bungee Gum is the Nen ability used by Hisoka from Hunter x Hunter, which gives Nen strong elasticity and makes it stick to anything. It seems simple, but Hisoka uses it extremely well to defeat his opponents. Aside from the range, it didn't seem to have any particular weaknesses. But I don't have a feel for it yet, so I'll need to practice.
I had looked over the abilities enough, so now I checked the items that appeared. I got [Ability Rank Up Ticket], [Elixir] x2, [Random Devil Fruit], [Penalty Removal Ticket]. For food, [Random Popcorn] x100 appeared.
Equipment was now largely irrelevant, so I'll skip it. Finally, as strange items, I got [Futanari Pill] x100, [Penis Enlargement Pill] x10, [SM Whip] x10, [SM Gag] x10, [Invisible Magic Chastity Belt] x100. Quite a few interesting items appeared this time.
[Futanari Pill] β Implants both male and female genitalia.
[Penis Enlargement Pill] β Increases the girth and length of the male genitalia by 0.5cm.
[Invisible Magic Chastity Belt] β When attached to a woman's genitals, if she has intercourse with someone other than the person who used the item, it will cut off the partner's important parts.
(The woman does not feel the device when wearing it. No one except the person who used the item can remove it. However, if the target has strength equal to or greater than steel, they may not be cut.)
I already knew about 'futanari' from various works. The [Invisible Magic Chastity Belt] was a grotesque item that, if I attached it to a woman, would cut off the genitals of any man who had intercourse with her. Finally, the [Penis Enlargement Pill] seemed like it could be traded or sold for a high price later.
"It's good that there are many items that might come in handy later."
Other items that appeared were various things related to characters from creative works, but they were all useless.
After checking and organizing the new abilities and items, I clicked 'Marvel (MCU)' in the list of works and chose to continue.
