Zongman, Rebirth of the Heaven-Defying Kirito

Sayaka: ???

Sayaka: How can you be like this? I was the one helping you out in my spare time!

[Kirito: Misunderstanding, misunderstanding! I meant, do magical girls catch colds too?]

Sayaka: Oh, I see. That's a really good way to express it!

Kirito stared into thought as he looked at the information in the dialog box.

They're already stupid, why are you teasing them? Aren't idiots human?

In short, repent for a second first, as a sign of respect.

Sayaka: It's because I've been fighting witches quite frequently lately. Homura Akemi advised me to take a good rest, so I asked for a few days off from school under the pretense of having a cold.

I see. That explains why everyone else is in class, but this guy has free time.

But the fact that Homura Akemi would remind others of something feels a bit off no matter how you look at it.

Even Sayaka was aware of this.

Sayaka: That transfer student seemed aloof at first, but I was surprised to find out he was quite warm-hearted after we got to know each other.

Sayaka: Poor Madoka, she'll probably have to eat lunch alone these next few days.

Kirito remained silent.

I mean, sis, is it possible that you've fallen for a diversionary tactic? They probably never intended to care about you at all.

Of course, even though he knew the truth, he remained silent.

Finally, Kirito steered the conversation back to the main topic.

Kirito: Then I'll leave tomorrow's arrangements to you.

Sayaka: Don't worry, leave it to me. As long as Lady Sayaka takes action, I can handle anything!

That would be best.

Despite thinking this way, Kirito still felt a sense of unease welling up inside him.

......

The next day, at the same time and place in the wetland grassland, the two sides stood on either side of the lake.

Kirito crossed his arms, exuding confidence: "I didn't expect you to keep our promise, but why don't I see the Explainer?"

"It's still too heavy!" Kazuma complained loudly, "Do you know how much effort it took me to carry that sword back yesterday?"

"Since that's the case, it's better to return it sooner rather than later."

Kazuma's eyes flashed with cunning: "Dream on. Before that, take a look at the lady beside me. She is none other than the water goddess, Aqua!"

He clearly intended to build up his momentum before the battle.

Akya stepped forward with a smile, her chest puffed out, like a deity preparing to receive worship.

"Isn't he just an idiot?" Kirito's words brought her back to reality.

Upon hearing this, Aqua completely lost her composure and revealed her true colors: "You're incredibly rude!"

Her swearing image completely robbed her of any semblance of goddess dignity.

"Ah," Kirito chuckled softly.

Although the other party was indeed the goddess of water, as far as he knew, Aqua didn't have many means of attack.

Trying to intimidate us with bluster? It's not that simple.

But Sayaka readily believed her: "Oh, amazing, is she really the goddess?"

Kirito frowned, forgetting that there was also an idiot next to him.

Okay, I take back what I just said.

“What? Someone recognizes your worth!” Akia said proudly. “You should feel honored to be the girl over there with the same blue hair as me. Now, please introduce yourself.”

"I am Sayaka, just an ordinary magical girl."

Of course, compared to goddesses and such, magical girls do seem quite ordinary.

But Kazuma's eyes widened immediately upon hearing this: "What?! You're saying you're a magical girl?"

Unexpectedly, this girl in a blue skirt and white cape was actually a magical girl from the anime of the world she traveled to.

Is there anything more incredible than this?

You see, ever since Kazuma transmigrated to this world, he has never seen the technological products of his previous life again, but now he is seeing things that are very familiar to him as a hikikomori.

Sayaka tugged at her white cloak and looked at her attire: "That's right, is there a problem?"

"Your very existence is the biggest problem!"

Then Kazuma pointed at Kirito: "The evidence is right in front of us, and you still say we're not the same kind of people?"

Kirito rubbed his forehead: "No matter how many times I say it, it's the same. We're not the same kind of people!"

"Hmph, keep pretending. I've figured it all out!" Kazuma said with an expression that said he knew everything.

He had now decided that the two people in front of him were of the same kind as him, perhaps brought to this other world by Aqua before him, or perhaps by Eris after him.

Kirito was getting impatient: "We've said so much already, isn't it time to begin?"

“That’s true,” Kazuma replied.

The two exchanged a knowing glance, and the next second they shouted in unison:

"Aqua, I'm counting on you!"

"Go! Sayaka, I choose you!"

Aqua confidently stepped forward, staff in hand: "Is it finally time for me, the goddess of water, to make my appearance?"

Sayaka clenched her right hand, and a command sword appeared in her grasp: "Magical Girl Sayaka makes her entrance!"

Kazuma and Kirito looked at the two nervously, while also anticipating who would win.

Just as tensions were about to rise, the two blue-haired girls exchanged a glance...

Just as Kazuma and Kirito thought the battle was about to begin, the two girls looked around and asked, "So, where is our opponent this time?"

The tense atmosphere vanished instantly.

Kazuma cries out in despair: "Right in front of you!"

"Really?" Akya was somewhat skeptical.

Sayaka turned back to Kirito in confusion: "Is that so?"

Kirito nodded: "That's right!"

Sayaka said somewhat awkwardly, "You're kidding, right? I'm a magical girl, my duty is to fight witches, not to fight innocent people, and she doesn't look like a bad person."

She thought Kirito's purpose in inviting her was to fight monsters, but she had never heard of anything like fighting other people.

Akya frowned as well: "I'm a goddess, how can I lay a hand on an ordinary human?"

"But you've already taken the money, it would be too despicable to back out now!"

Kazuma spent 100,000 to invite this idiot goddess, and now that you're here, you're saying you can't do it? Who can accept that?

Akya said nonchalantly, "You can only blame yourself for not explaining beforehand. And I'm not going to return the money I've already paid!"

"You bastard!" Kazuma glared angrily, but there was nothing he could do.

Meanwhile, Kirito suggested to Sayaka, "Why don't you just treat her like a witch, close your eyes, and go cut her down?"

Sayaka's expression was resolute: "Of course not! What do you take human life for?"

"But she's a goddess, not a human," Kirito insisted.

"Isn't the word of God even worse? The mere thought of attacking the other party is already a great disrespect!"

"That's too much..." After all, the other person is just an idiot.
