Feeling the carbon dioxide explode in her mouth, she experienced an indescribable pleasure. They hadn't even formed an Adventurer team yet.
Shiraishi Kawa was willing to treat her generously.
Facing Aqua's confusion, Megumin paused and said, "I remember Kawa-sama should be an Adventurer, and he still wants to learn skills from me."
"That's right."
Aqua, who joined the Chat Group relatively late, didn't know that he was already a Holy Sword User. Shiraishi Kawa had no other objections to forming a team.
The crucial factor was time.
The interdimensional teleportation anchor only had a 7-day usage period, and in his original world, he was still an Ordinary High School Student. Most importantly, what would he gain after defeating the Demon King?
He ignored Aqua's topic and shifted his attention to Megumin. Having been hungry for several days, she had already finished most of the food.
Noticing his gaze.
Since the other party had treated her to such a lavish and luxurious meal, Megumin clapped her hands and said seriously, "Thank you for the meal."
"Now it's time to fulfill our agreement!"
"First, someone else teaches you how to use the skill, and then you use an Adventurer card to spend points to learn the new skill that appears."
There was no such thing as an Adventurer card.
The Archmage skill was entirely due to the golden finger panel, and with the special nature of the proficiency panel, many problems could be ignored.
Shiraishi Kawa smiled and nodded, "Then I'll trouble Megumin. I've long yearned for the power of Explosion Magic!"
As if a switch for a special XP had been flipped, Megumin, who had an infinite love for Explosion Magic, had an expectant look on her tender, childlike face.
She propped her hands on the table.
Leaning towards Shiraishi Kawa, her overly slender figure couldn't even fill the smallest size of a mage's robe, revealing a hint of her charms.
"If you want to learn Explosion Magic, I'll teach you as many times as you want!"
Megumin said excitedly, "No, to be precise, besides Explosion Magic, what other skills are worth learning?"
#
Through the usage method taught by Megumin, Shiraishi Kawa's proficiency panel instantly displayed a prompt that new skills could be learned.
"Group notification: Detected skill 'Explosion Magic' available for learning. Learn it?"
"Yes."
His primary goal in coming to the Konosuba World this time was to meet Megumin, switch to a new profession, and learn the super powerful area-of-effect Explosion Magic.
Now, his goal was completely achieved.
"You have successfully learned the skill: Explosion Magic (Lv1)"
"—'Explosion Magic (Lv1)': As the ultimate Explosion Magic, its essence is the pure diffusion and explosion of magic power, making it the strongest offensive magic that can cause damage to all existence."
"Skill consumption: 10% magic power + unlimited magic power output."
The skill usage method was very simple.
The prerequisite was a vast amount of magic power as the casting foundation. The more magic power consumed by the skill, the higher the damage caused by the final Explosion Magic.
After learning the skill.
Shiraishi Kawa looked at Megumin again and nodded gently, "Thank you, I have already mastered your Explosion Magic."
"Then..."
With the existence of Explosion Magic being acknowledged, Megumin was quite excited. In her opinion, Shiraishi Kawa was simply a like-minded teammate.
Because he also loved explosions!
"Can we form a team?"
"I need to finish my other matters first. If you're really too hungry, find Aqua. She has a way to contact me."
Shiraishi Kawa certainly had no intention of letting Aqua and Megumin join other teams. He just needed to accumulate enough points to set up a stable world anchor for teleportation in the Konosuba World.
Then, things would become much easier.
"Oh."
Megumin nodded seriously, not thinking that Shiraishi Kawa was refusing. He could provide for her meals and even loved explosions.
Even if he refused.
She still had to find a way to follow him!
Finding people and learning skills, it wasn't even noon yet, and even Shiraishi Kawa hadn't expected things to go so smoothly.
He just needed to ask Hiratsuka Shizuka for leave and go to school on Tuesday.
"Next..."
"Taking on some quests to test the power of 'Explosion Magic' seems pretty good too."
Shiraishi Kawa pondered, his gaze sweeping over Megumin and Aqua, who were still munching on potato chips and snacks. Just as he was about to voice his thoughts,
A notification from the Dimensional Chat Group echoed in his mind.
"Group notification: Group member 'Busujima Saeko' detected in danger. Group member rescue mission now active. Player limit: 2 people."
"Mission reward: 200 points."
"Participate in the group member rescue mission?"
Chapter 37: Heading to the Apocalypse World! Teammate Misaka Mikoto
"Group notification: Ordinary High School Student, Railgun have accepted the group member rescue mission. Teleporting to the member's world in 1 minute."
"Group live broadcast function will be activated..."
When Busujima Saeko joined the Dimensional Chat Group, Shiraishi Kawa had already anticipated this. The world's plot would progress.
Perhaps, for her, originally.
It was an Ordinary High School Student's daily life, but with the outbreak of the zombie virus, the crisis would eventually arrive. Hearing the group rescue mission notification,
He didn't hesitate and decisively chose to accept it.
Aqua, who had just joined the Chat Group, primarily spent her days chatting and signing in. After hearing the group notification, her eyes were filled with confusion.
Remembering that the Ordinary High School Student was an old member.
She curiously asked, "Hey, Shiraishi Kawa, did you hear something just now?"
"..."
Considering Megumin was nearby, he had to be a bit secretive about the Dimensional Chat Group. Shiraishi Kawa vaguely said, "A way to earn points."
"Huh?"
Aqua, who had been in a relatively good mood, was stunned after hearing the specific explanation. The way to earn points was gone just like that?
Without any goddess-like demeanor.
She grabbed Shiraishi Kawa's arm beside her and cried out, "Although points don't have a particularly big effect, I still want to go and play!"
"There's no way..."
Shiraishi Kawa spread his hands. Aqua did have a Purification effect on the undead, but if the target was a virus-infected zombie, the specific effect...
It was truly hard to say.
What truly surprised him was that his companion for this mission would actually be Railgun, Misaka Mikoto, from the A Certain Magical Index World.

Master of the Butterfly Mansion: What kind of hand speed is this? I just entered the group chat, and the mission was already taken @Ordinary High School Student @Railgun.
Future Holy Sword User: The initial strengthening of my overall physical fitness has indeed brought considerable help. I also wanted to accept this rescue mission.
Gabriel: You can actually go to other worlds through group missions?
Gabriel: It seems the Chat Group's functions are quite comprehensive. By the way, is the live broadcast similar to a TV program?
Asuna: It seems my hand speed was still a bit slow.
Bronze-Ranked Adventurer: I believe @Ordinary High School Student will definitely be fine.
Sakurajima Mai: @Busujima Saeko, I remember you saying that place was a normal modern society. Why would a crisis suddenly erupt?
Aqua: Why didn't I even get a turn for the group mission!!
Railgun: @Ordinary High School Student, I remember you're a high school student, right? Isn't today Monday? Why do you also have time to participate in the mission?
A Certain Magical Index World.
Misaka Mikoto also didn't expect that her companion for this trip to Busujima Saeko's world would be an Ordinary High School Student. She had watched the entire live broadcast of the last mission opened by the Dimensional Chat Group.
The Future Holy Sword User's magic device weapon was quite interesting, and as for Shiraishi Kawa's strength, she had a relatively superficial understanding.
He had just mastered the Holy Sword User profession.
He hadn't been particularly effectively developed yet. If placed in Academy City, he might be in the Lv3-4 range. He shouldn't be a burden, right?
It was exactly during the lunch break.
As for asking the teacher for leave, Misaka Mikoto looked at Shirai Kuroko beside her and said casually, "Help me tell the teacher this afternoon."
"I need to take time off for something."
Shirai Kuroko, who was sitting in front of the computer, looked up at the smiling Misaka Mikoto and asked, "Onee-sama, what exactly is it?"
"It's a secret."
#
The Archmage profession in the Konosuba World required a staff as a medium for casting spells, and it would be difficult to get a suitable weapon in a short time.
Although surprised that his teammate was Railgun.
Shiraishi Kawa didn't have time to think about it now. He looked at Megumin beside him and said casually, "Megumin, can I borrow your staff?"
"I should be able to return it to you tomorrow."
"Hmm."
Recalling the expensive meal today, Megumin didn't think Shiraishi Kawa would deceive her, but for a mage, a weapon was a companion.
She hesitated slightly.
"I have something to take care of. To let others feel the power of Explosion Magic, I still need a handy weapon."
"Are you going to use Explosion Magic!"
Hearing this explanation, Megumin found it really hard to refuse. After all, Shiraishi Kawa and she were both loyal fans of Explosion Magic.
Although it pained her a little.
She still handed him the staff wrapped in gray cloth. She earnestly instructed, "This is the weapon I entrust to you. Let others feel the might of Explosion Magic!"
"I will."
Having only met and shared a meal, Megumin was still willing to lend him her most valuable weapon. Shiraishi Kawa chuckled and nodded.
He couldn't help but reach out and pat her head.
When she was serious, she was quite cute.
As the Dimensional Chat Group's countdown ended, Shiraishi Kawa disappeared from the corner of the Adventurers' Guild, under Megumin's ghost-like gaze.
"My teammate is actually Railgun..."
"I feel like even without Explosion Magic, lying back and winning would be easy."
For a Lv5 esper like Misaka Mikoto to go to Busujima Saeko's world, Shiraishi Kawa objectively viewed it as pure slaughter of the zombies.
If hunting zombies could earn experience points.
Then, no matter what, he would have to step up. He would definitely not let his professional level go to waste. As the brief sensation of dizziness ended.
