Party

Kazuma has a complicated relationship with his party, since while they often drive him crazy, he is very attached to them. Kazuma often describe them her as troubled kids, and while he is always trying to get some time away of them, even if it is just for a day or an afternoon, to relax. However he always takes responsibility for their missteps and tries to clean their mess, eventually admitting he actually enjoy them.

Aqua

From his trouble kids party, Aqua is the one Kazuma has the most tumultuous relationship with, as he sees her as his most troublesome party member. Since the first time they met in the Afterlife, Aqua always triggered him with her cocky and spoiled behavior, to the point the reason why he choose her as his Cheat was to retaliate her haughty attitude. While it is very common they quarreling in public, they are still inseparable, as they often party and get wasted together. They exert a negative influence over each other, as they bring out the worst in each other, since they both are pretentious NEET.

However, while they are incredibly close, Kazuma and Aqua have no romantic tension, as he even tried to fall in love with her and failed, reason why Kazuma sees her as a pet. The reason why he has no romantic interest on Aqua is because, while Kazuma does consider her gorgeous, she just spout rubbish. The only moment Aqua actually made Kazuma's heart skips a beat was when she just thanked him without prattle.

While they have no romantic relationship, Kazuma and Aqua still have a strong bond, as aside of not mince words with each other, and Kazuma often makes her cry, he can't tolerate seeing her unhappy, to the point of drop-kicking Serena for making Aqua so sad she didn't even cry. Also, while Kazuma often says he wishes he had chosen something else as his Cheat, Kazuma couldn't not choose Aqua when he had several chances to redo his past, eventually admitting he doesn't regret choosing her.

Megumin

When they first met, Kazuma just considered Megumin a "loli", often teasing her, although he does started to leer at her chest after carrying her on his back. However, he still considered her too young to be on his strike zone, at least until she turned 14. After that Megumin became the main target of Kazuma's sexual harassments, to the point he tried to train her cat to steal her pants for him.

After spending so much time together in the same party, Megumin started to flirt and going on "dates" with Kazuma, sending mixed signals too. For such reason he started to develop feeling for her, although Kazuma wasn't sure he loves Megumin even after she confessed her love for him, although Kazuma did realized he fell in love for her right after they started dating.

After they decided to be "more than friends, but less than lovers", Kazuma and Megumin took things slow (although Megumin already considered him "her man" and was thinking about having babies), and while they sometimes tried to rush things, something always interrupted them (most times Aqua). When Aqua left the mansion in order to slay the Devil King, they did have a chance to make out, but Kazuma decided in the end to wait until everybody was safe and well, although they french kissed.

Darkness

When they first met, Kazuma's voice even cracked a bit before her beauty, almost falling in love at first sight, since Darkness actually is his type (busty older sister type with long straight hair), although he doesn't like her masochist personality. And since Kazuma was afraid of changing the party's status quo, even though he thinks she must be loose, Kazuma never made a move on her.

While Kazuma always tried to get rid of Darkness, he does care about her happiness, trying to make her getting married with a good man, but sacrificing all his money in order to save her from a shotgun marriage with a pig. After Kazuma saved her, Darkness fell in love with him, but didn't make any move until he was already dating Megumin. For such reason, when Darkness confessed her love, a heartbroken Kazuma was forced to reject her, although he tried take advantage of her temporary insanity to make out with her.

After this event, there was sparks between Kazuma and Darkness, to the point Kazuma tried to convince her to make a move on him again (although he later regretted it), but after that Darkness decided not to get in the way of Kazuma and Megumin's relationship, although Darkness didn't lose her hope she and Kazuma could stay together, even trying to enjoy the time they spend together and going on dates with him.

Eris/Chris

Chris was the first person to teach Kazuma adventurer's skills, including his trademark spell Steal. Although Chris never joins his adventure party, she and Kazuma form their own separate party, with Chris as the "Big-Boss" and Kazuma as "Assistant-kun". Their thieving group, later dubbed "Silver-Haired Thief Brigade", steals magical items from corrupt nobles who intend to use them for their own selfish purposes. As a result, the pair have a massive bounty on their heads, second only to the Devil King.

Kazuma meets the Goddess Eris following his death at the hands of the Winter Shogun during his first winter in the Parallel World. In contrast to Aqua, Eris treats him with kindness and sympathy. She is prepared to send Kazuma back to Earth to start his life over, but is forced to resurrect him by Aqua. Kazuma is moved by Eris' actions, considering her to be the definition of a goddess. From that point onwards, whenever Kazuma dies, he is met by Eris.

After Darkness' Wedding, due to her appearance, advanced knowledge of divine relics and the way she scratches her cheek when nervous or uncertain about something, Kazuma suspects that Chris is actually Eris in disguise. He later confirms it by addressing Chris as Eris, to which she responds. Chris/Eris immediately swears him to secrecy.

Aside from helping her to recover divine relics, Kazuma considers Chris/Eris a close friend. He goes out of his way to help her and her Church, the Eris sect, during the Eris Festival. When they are down in the doldrums following the success of the "Goddess Aqua Thanksgiving Festival", he arranges "The First Goddess Eris Beauty Pageant", telling Chris to make an appearance as Eris in order to win back the support of her followers. Not only was the pageant a huge success, but the pair recover a divine relic. Following the pageant, Kazuma asks Chris to marry him. Chris's answer is evasive.

Although Eris's feelings towards Kazuma are not clear, Kazuma has cited Eris/Chris as his ideal girl. He considers her an important companion that he can talk to about anything. Aside from gossip about Megumin and Darkness, Kazuma also talks to her about serious issues like the stores in Japan.

After defeating the Devil King, Kazuma brings Eris back to Axel as his new cheat item, though she eventually returns to heaven.

Yunyun

Kazuma first met Yunyun in the fields outside of Axel, when she saved Aqua, Megumin and Sena from Giant Toads. Despite her social anxiety the pair immediately managed to get along, much to Megumin's surprise and irritation. Kazuma was also surprised to see how normal Yunyun was compared to Megumin and (later on) the rest of the Crimson Demons.

Since their first meeting, the pair have bumped into each other sporadically, usually when Yunyun is seeking to challenge Megumin as part of their ongoing "rivalry". Surprisingly, Kazuma treats Yunyun with far more kindness and respect than any of his party members (the sole exception being in the S1 OVA). This is possibly because he sees Yunyun as one of the few genuinely kind and reliable people in the world, and he takes pity on her. This has not stopped him from using her as an object of affection during his succubus dreams.

Yunyun also quickly warmed up to Kazuma. Despite her shyness, she began hanging around with him (usually when he was with Megumin) and quickly realised that, despite his flaws, Kazuma was a versatile and reliable individual. This has not stopped her from calling him out whenever he does something questionable. In spite of this, she does considered Kazuma a valuable friend, not that she would ever admit, let alone recognise it.

Although neither of them ever voiced it, it is implied that Kazuma and Yunyun may harbour romantic feelings for each other. Kazuma (usually) treats Yunyun far better than his comrades, and has even invited Yunyun to join his party on quests, for dinner and other social activities. He also gets uncharacteristically worried whenever Yunyun says something negative about him. Yunyun, for her part, knows that, for all his faults, she can truly depend and rely upon Kazuma, which was demonstrated when she asked him to father her child (due to a huge misunderstanding) and help secure her position as the future leader of the Crimson Magic Clan. Whenever the pair have managed to hang out together, i.e. just the two of them, they have gotten surprisingly well, and some of their outings can even be construed as dates rather than acquaintances hanging out.

It is also implied that one of the reasons Megumin bullies Yunyun is because she is jealous/fearful about her relationship with Kazuma. Not only is Yunyun physically closer to Kazuma's ideal woman but her skills are far more useful than Megumin's explosion magic. Thus, she teases and belittles Yunyun not only to keep her and Kazuma apart but make sure that he will not replace her with Yunyun, which it is hinted Kazuma would do if given the opportunity.

Princess Iris

Despite the difference in their social standings, Kazuma considers Iris his precious family. She is the little sister he always wanted; a younger girl not related to him by blood. For this reason and her status as the Kingdom's Princess, he has, for the most part treated Iris with dignity and respect. He is also, however, considerably honest and forthcoming with her in private, where he ignores the social norms expected of somebody interacting with a member of the royal family. Their relationship has drawn the suspicion/jealousy of Darkness, Megumin and Claire, whom Kazuma has had to repeatedly assure that his feelings for Iris are completely platonic.

Iris, meanwhile, initially disliked and underestimated Kazuma, believing that he lied about his many accomplishments/exploits. After Darkness confirmed that Kazuma's statements were true, however, she warmed up to him. In addition to being fascinated by his stories, she treasures Kazuma's honesty and how he (unlike everybody else) treats her like an ordinary girl, rather than a princess. To the ire of her wards, Kazuma's use of cunning and dirty tactics have rubbed off on Iris. Kazuma did temporarily lose her respect after being killed by Kobolds and going too far when a magic device swapped their minds (see below). By the following morning, however, her respect and admiration for him had not only returned but increased significantly.

By the time Kazuma left the castle, following an extensive stay, Iris had developed romantic feelings for him. After learning of a plot (devised by Lord Alderp) to use the aforementioned mind-swapping relic to take over the throne of Axel, Iris realised that Kazuma, who together with Chris ploughed through her guards to save her, was only powerful but really cared about her. These feelings were further demonstrated during the trip to Elroad, when Lugkraft, a shape-shifting agent of the Devil King's Army, attempted to assassinate the Princess by disguising himself as Kazuma. Iris, however, immediately realised that the man in front of her was not her beloved "onii-chan" and killed him in turn. Following this episode, Iris, having established a romantic rivalry with Megumin, invited Kazuma to stay at the Capital indefinitely. Kazuma accepted but was eventually returned to Axel by Claire and Rain.

In light of Iris' age and status, Kazuma, knowing that he would be executed if he pushed his luck (again), is very careful on how he interacts with Iris in public. He has noted, however, both openly and privately, that if Iris asked him to marry her when she grows up, he would say yes. Ironically, Kazuma can technically be considered Iris's fiance as during the aforementioned mission to retrieve the divine relic, he accidentally stole her royal ring. He later learnt from Darkness that the royals hand that ring over to the person they intend to marry and that he cannot return it, even if he claimed to have merely found it, because the royals would kill him to conceal the theft. As such, Iris' ring resides in Kazuma's mansion and is one of his most prized treasures. Feeling guilty about this, Kazuma later bought Iris a replacement ring, from Elroad.

Iris was delighted by her gift and has treasured it ever since, even though it was cheap. Knowing that they have technically exchanged rings, Iris is extremely hopeful that one day Kazuma will be able to replace that ring with a proper one after he defeats the Demon King. By royal degree, the person who defeats the Devil King will automatically become the Prince/Princess's. Kazuma was eventually able to fulfil this ambition but (for obvious reasons) a prospective engagement to Iris has not been touched upon or discussed yet.

Wiz

Wiz is the owner/proprietor of a local magic shop that Kazuma and his party frequent. He first met her in a graveyard, where Wiz was helping the spirits of the dead to depart to the afterlife in peace. Despite her being a lich and a General of the Demon King's army, Kazuma gave Wiz a chance to explain herself and, after convincing Aqua to stand down, spared her life.

Kazuma frequently visits her establishment for tea and guidance. He is very courteous towards her, especially when compared to his companions. It was Wiz who taught Kazuma his signature skill: Drain Touch. Later, she and Vanir began selling products he designed, so he often visits their shop to see how things are going. Despite this, Kazuma is very cautious about buying anything from her store.

Like Darkness, Wiz is physically everything that Kazuma is looking for in an ideal partner: slightly older, kind and perfect in what Kazuma perceives to be all the right places. Unfortunately, Wiz's cuteness is overshadowed by her extreme lack of common sense and business management. Despite using her for dreams in the succubus shops, there is no indication that Kazuma considers Wiz anything more than a good friend. Their relationship is strictly professional and friendly acquaintances.

Taylor

Although Taylor serves as a foil for Kazuma (being a stoic and non-perverse person), the two-party leaders actually get on quite well. They occasionally meet up for a drink in secret to discuss the hardships they go through in dealing with their respective parties. Taylor once even offered Kazuma to join his party.

Dust

Dust initially disliked Kazuma due to jealousy, being unable to understand why he was always complaining despite being surrounded by three beautiful women with high-tier jobs. Dust's attitude towards Kazuma flipped after adventuring with the latter's party, truly understanding the hardships that Kazuma had to go through daily, and the pair soon became friends.

A lot of Dust's unsavory attitude and activities have rubbed off on Kazuma, the latter taking up gambling due to Dust's influence. Although Dust views Kazuma as his best friend, he still sponges drinks off of him from time-to-time and has admitted that he probably wouldn't help Kazuma out if the latter became short on cash. Kazuma has stated that he only really sees Dust as an acquaintance.

Though in reality while he will never admit he does see Dust as a good and close friend. And Dust trusts Kazuma enough to give him his trusted magic sword.

Arue

Kazuma's relationship with Arue can be summed up with two words: mutual loathing.

In a unique case, Kazuma managed to develop a deep dislike for Arue before even meeting her. She caused a huge misunderstanding between him and Yunyun, which greatly embarrassed them both. Through her letter, the "Legend of the Crimson Demon Hero", she implied that the Crimson Magic Clan had been destroyed and that, for the sake of the world, Kazuma and Yunyun needed to have a baby. Kazuma was furious upon realising the text was nothing more than an elaborate story, costing him the opportunity to advance his relationship with someone.

His negative feelings for Arue were solidified upon finally meeting her. From her boast to Megumin, Kazuma learnt that, whilst he and the rest of the clan were battling Sylvia, Arue was at home writing the next chapter of "Legend of the Crimson Demon Hero". As a demonstration of his contempt, Kazuma took the pages of Arue's newly written chapter from her hands and ripped them up in front of her.

This act completely horrified and deeply angered Arue, who had spent an entire week writing that chapter, which included some sleepless nights. Livid, Arue immediately attacked Kazuma, calling him a rude man. The pair got into a brawl, which set the basis of their relationship from that day onwards.

When they reunited during a test at the Crimson Demon Village several months later, Kazuma and Arue's relationship had not improved. She still hated him for destroying her work, whilst he was still angry at her for her actions and refusal to accept responsibility. The pair merely had to cross paths to exchange insults with each other.

Thus, Arue is one of the few women Kazuma knows that he is definitely NOT attracted to. Meanwhile, Arue has said that, with time, she hopes Megumin will follow the Yunyun route rather than the Kazuma route.

Serena

Serena tried to approach Kazuma, pretending to be a fan, in order to investigate him. He ended up discovering her real identity as a Devil King's Genenal, making a deal so Serena would threat him in exchange Kazuma wouldn't expose her. However, since Kazuma knew she has plans to prepare Axel for a invasion, he tried to stop her plans all by himself, but he failed and became her puppet.

However, after becoming her puppet, Kazuma ended up stealing half of her power by following her goddess too, and he not just made her life a living hell, but also ruined her plans and caused her multiple nervous breakdowns. In the end Serena went to his mansion in order to beg Aqua, Megumin and Darkness take him back, being defeated and having her level reseted to 1. Serena was arrested, escaping afterwards and following Kazuma's party in order to take take revenge, but ended up saved by him from the Axis Order by converting to their religion.
