A Second Death for this Freezing Season! (この
Synopsis[]
"I want money." After paying back the debt Aqua has racked up, Kazuma and Aqua's monetary situation grows even more dire. The party accepts a quest to kill helpless Snow Sprites and heads for the snowy mountains in order to escape from the stables during this winter so cold it freezes Kazuma's eyelashes solid.
Plot[]
During a freezing winter day, when other adventurers stay indoors to enjoy their rewards from defeating Beldia, Kazuma wishes for more money so he can pay off his party's huge debt. When browsing the quest board, Kazuma rejects the ones for subjugating White Wolves and One-Punch Bears that Darkness and Megumin choose, before noticing one for scouting out something called the Destroyer. He and Aqua then settle for the quest to subjugate Snow Sprites, which unsettles Megumin and excites Darkness.
Trekking in winter attire to the snowy forest where Snow Sprites gather, Kazuma slashes at the fleeing Snow Sprites while Aqua captures and bottles them for cooling down in summer and Megumin collapses after Exploding eight of them. The Winter Shogun which protects the Snow Sprites manifests. Darkness excitedly resists the guardian sprite, which took the appearance of a shogun because of other Japanese reincarnates' imagery, only to have her sword severed. Aqua releases the captured Snow Sprites, before advising her companions to drop their weapons and dogeza for forgiveness. Darkness, however, is too prideful to do that. Kazuma rushes forward to press her head down, but having forgotten to drop his sword, he is beheaded by the Winter Shogun.
In the afterlife dimension, Eris offers him her condolences. Kazuma whinges about his reincarnated life and his party members, who are safe after the Winter Shogun's departure. But when Eris is about to reincarnate him in Japan, he finds himself weeping as he misses his companions. Aqua calls for Kazuma's soul to return to his body, on which she had already cast Resurrection, and overrules Eris's law against opening the door of the afterlife by threatening to confiscate her chest pads.
Back in the Parallel World, Kazuma is hugged by the relieved Megumin and Darkness, but refuses to thank Aqua for resurrecting him, and feels disappointed when comparing her to Eris. He decides they are too weak to take on winter quests. When they return to the Guild, Aqua shows them a captured Snow Sprite she kept hidden. Kazuma demands she give it to him so he can claim the kill reward for himself, but she refuses to let anyone kill it because she plans to use it as a refrigerator. Kazuma considers Eris the main heroine, and is disenchanted at his gluttonous companions with their odd personalities.
