- One Piece World, 38 years ago -
In the middle of the God Valley which slowly sinking in the sea,
"Haaaaa!"
"Ugh!"
Haru threw a hard punch imbuid with Armament Haki, hitting Newgate on the chin.
"Ra!"
"Ugh..."
Newgate did the same and hit Haru on the face.
No one tried to evade each of their attacks and took it head on without flinching.
Both of their faces are bleeding from their hard hitting punches.
Their intense clash cause the whole island to shake and tilt, making the sky looks darker with their Conqueror's Haki.
"Haaaaa!"
"Raaaaa!"
Their fist crossed and hit each other's cheek,
"Ugh!"
They took several steps after hitting each other.
The ground on their surroundings started to crumbled down and water sprouted from the cracks.
"Hey, kiddo! What's your name?"
Newgate asked while wiping the blood on the side of his mouth with his wrist.
"Haru... Platinum D. Haru. Also... don't call me kiddo. I may look like this but I'm actually older than you think."
Haru answered making up a for his name to sound cooler without getting suspicious.
"A 'D'? You look like a brat so I'm calling you a brat!"
"I'm 409 years old!" Haru retorted.
"409? What kind of creature are you?"
"I'm a God." Haru responded raising his hands.
"A god? I'm don't believe in God! Celestial Dragon call themselves Gods. Are you one of them?"
"I'm not! If by chance I meet one of them, I won't hesitate to kill him. Don't compare me with those scums, I'm a genuine and bonafide God."
Newgate look at him with cringey expression.
(Img<<<)
"What's with that look?!"
"I guess you're just a delusional brat."
"What? I'm not a Chuuni!"
"Let's end this already kid. This island will soon sink with us."
Haru was dejected, squatting down as he draw something on the tilting ground.
"I guess... I'm really a Crimson Demon... Now, I'm losing motivation... In the first place, what I am doing fight senselessly. I just want to reach the last island and see my daughter, Sayu... Sorry, Sayu... I'm such a disappointing Papi..."
(Img<<<)
...
Newgate was also losing his motivation to fight him.
Suddenly,
*Boom!* *Boom!* *Boom!*
The whole island was sinking at a faster rate and the mountains are crumbling down.
"This is bad."
Newgate mumbled as their situation in the island worsen.
Crack spreaded from the ground where they standing.
Newgate was about to jump off but all of sudden, the ground crumbled down and the two of them fell together on a deep crack that appeared.
"Whaaa!"
Their voices echoes as they fall.

(Megumin's POV)
- Konosuba World, Present -
"Explosion!"
"Boom-boom Bakudan!"
(Img<<<)
*KA-BOOOOM!!*
*Boooom!*
My daughter Kurē and I released an explosion outside the village.
"Ugh..."
I fainted down.
Kurē took off her bag and opened it, taking out a vial of Mana potion.
She removed the cover and put it on my mouth.
"Here, Mommy... Drink."
After drinking the mana potion, I felt my Mana replenishing and I have now the energy to move my body.
"Thank you, Kurē."
I stood up shaking off the dirt on my clothes.
"Kurē, let's go before Harukin found us out."
"Yes, Mommy!"
Kurē enthusiastically responded.
I held her hand and walked together home with her.
This became now my daily life.
After learning Explosion and Advanced Magic at the same time, I graduated ahead from Red Prison Academy and became officially an adult Crimson Demon.
Yunyun followed few days after I graduated and Harukin left the teaching job since there's no reason for him to stay there.
After achieving my dream of learning Explosion Magic, my next goal now is to catch up after my twin brother and boyfriend, and became a great crimson demon mage like him.
Starting from now on, I will stop relying on him and deal things by myself. My current objective is leave the village, go to the city, become an adventurer, and meet the person who taught me explosion magic.
However, the outskirts of the village are crawling with incredibly strong monsters and there's a horde of them surrounding the village lately. If I used explosion magic, I'll be unable to move, I'll never be able to reach the next town.
I can easily get to next town in an instant but that will be relying on Harukin's help. That will be defeating the purpose of becoming an independent adult.
Because of this, I called on someone who worked as a teleporter. I wanted to be sent to Axel, the city of beginning adventurers. But because it was surrounded only by weak monsters, no one from this village wanted to go. And so the village's teleporter did not have it registered.
And so, in order to go to Axel, I have to be sent to the nearby city of Alcanretia and proceed from there with carriage.
Arriving back in the village,
*Sigh*
I sighed,
"A one-way ticket to Alcanretia, the city of water and hot springs, is 300,000 Eris... I hope I find some workshop that'll hire me too..."
"Mommy? Why don't we just work at Daddy's Workshop?"
"That's a big, No No No, Kurē. That's the same as relying on him. We have to find another one which is not involved with him." I responded.
While walking around the village with Kurē.
"Hey, Megumin! Out looking for a job again?"
Someone was talking to me,
"Huh?"
I felt disappointed when it was Bukkororii and he's leaning on the wall while making cool poses.
"Well... it looks like we're both NEETs now. So if there's anything bothering you that doesn't have to do with money, you can come talk to me."
...I can't believe we're in the same boat.
"Hey! Mommy is not a NEET! She's been taking care of Kurē everyday!"
Kurē got angry at him then pouted.
(Img<<<)
"Huh? What's with this little delinquent girl? Isn't she an elf?"
"Ask my twin brother, he said she's my magical daughter with him."
"Dating his own twin sister and have daughter with her. That guy really have some screw loose on his head. He even dated the Village Chief's daughter and had a child already with her. There's also a lot of cute girls surrounding him. What a womanizer..."
...
I can't say anything about that.
Harukin being a scumbag womanizer has already spreaded around the village. And it already reached the Axel town. Maybe the whole Kingdom of Belzerg will be next then the whole world.
But it seems, he doesn't care now.
"Anyway... See you two around."
Bukkororii walked away and waved at us.
"See ya."
"I-I am not a NEET! I'm looking for a job right now!" I yelled back at him.
If I don't find a job today, I'm done for... just like him.
With a famous part timer as a twin brother like that, I don't want to be called NEET. I have to work also for the sake of my own goals.
I visit the 'Real' Village Potion Shop to look for a job,
"You're that blonde kid's little sister, right? Aren't you and your family already filthy rich? Why are you here looking for a job?"
Things became awkward.
I'm his twin brother! Not the little sister!
"Sorry but I have my own circumstances that I can't rely to my twin brother's wealth and earnings."
"Oh, okay then... how about you gather three livers of one strike bears for me?"
"...What did you just say?"
One strike bear? Sounds dangerous.
"Well, we've already had enough potion-makers. So to start, I'll have you gather ingredients."
Looking at Kurē,
"Kurē wants to hunt with Mommy! One strike bears, he we come!"
She seems too excited.
...
It's too dangerous! I can't bring her with me.
Harukin will get angry at me if he learns about it.
Lying is impossible with him because of that lie detector device.
I don't have other choice but look for another job.
Leaving the shop,
I came to another shop to look for a job but it was no good.
I tried to every shops I know but there's no available for me.
Feeling dejected while walking around,
"Mommy?"
Even Kurē looks worried about me.
Another loss...
At a time like this, when I don't know what to do...
I've only got one option.
"Kurē, do you have any mana potion left on your bag?"
"I still have one vial that Daddy gave me."
I smiled at her.
I, who was once called a genius like my twin brother, am now unemployed.
Oh, well...
Arriving outside the village,
"Explosion!"
"Boom-boom Bakudan!"
*KA-BOOOOM!!*
*Boooom!*
My daughter Kurē and I released another explosion today.
(To be continued.)
(A/N: Why do I still feel like a NEET if I don't earned enough money. They say there's a lot of job opportunities in the Philippines but it felt like just fake job position to make it look that there's a vacant job. It really sucks that I really want to work overseas. I'll fix my mistakes later.)
