"The Kazuma day need a Kazuma to celebrate!" the boy said with his hands on his hips, pointing to the maid and goddess, "We need to find him!"
"Of course Iris-sama!" Claire made a reverence as she made her way out of the room, accompanied by Aqua, but before they could leave he grabbed his friend's hand.
"What happened, don't you want us to get Kazuma?" asked the fallen goddess.
"Yes, but..." Kazuma looked up to her, so she could clearly see his blushing face, "Would you mind carrying me? I want to see Kazuma-sama but my legs are too weak to keep up with you two?"
"Umm..." Aqua really wanted to reject the offer but a combination of the girl's cuteness, and the fact that when he looked down she found Claire staring at her, she knew rejecting 'Iris' was a bad idea, so she turned back and kneeled,, "Come on...hop on"
"Yay!" Kazuma said, barely containing his internal laughing as he climbed onto Aqua's back, making sure to tug form her hair and kick her side, "I'm so happy to spend a day with the great Aqua-sama!" he shouted, once again tugging from her hair.
Aqua struggled to not scream, her poor scalp wouldn't be able to resist this torture but she had to do this for one reason, "Better than Eris, better than Eris" she kept repeating to herself each time the 'girl' hit her side of tugged her hair.

"Megumin!" Kazuma said form atop his mount, after a while a walking around town they had finally found the crimson mage and his original body.
"Kazu-" Megumin was about to say, covering her mouth for a moment as she looked and looked at 'Kazuma' at her side, "I mean, Iris!"
"Onii-sama?" Iris said as she turned around, her hand held together close to her neck, and a blush on her borrowed, but what catched Kazuma's attention was the bruise she had on the side of her (his?) face.
"Kazuma-sama!" the boy shouted as he jumped off of Aqua who just stretched her back, "What happened to my- to your face!?" he asked on his tiptoes, touching the bruise, just making Iris blush harder.
"I...I was in a fight" she answered, closing her eyes and taking her hands to her cheeks, removing his in the process, "And I won!" she yelled, opening her eyes and jumping up and down, "I won, I won, I won!" she kept repeating as she punched the air.
"A fight, uh?" Kazuma now fixated his eyes on Megumin, the explosion lover just looked to the ground as she scratched her head, he jus walked up to eat and whispered into her ear, "What were you two doing!?"
"Don't be mad at me! It was her idea!" the mage tried to keep her voice low, taking advantage of the distraction Iris caused, Aqua was too tired to care about anything, sitting on the ground and ignoring anything that surrounded her, while Claire was just nodded along as she heard of 'Kazuma's' achievements, "The only thing I did was to tell her to not be a pushover and things escalated from there!"
"Sure" he rolled his eyes.
"Lock at the positive, at least people now know you can take three guys on a fight, maybe you should thank me for that,?" Megumin argued, but she saw Kazuma was not amazed, crossing his arms as he stared into her soul, "Uh..." she started looking through her pockets, quickly finding the source of this ridiculous situation, the cursed necklace, "I found the right incantation to swap you back!"
"Really? Aren't you supposed to only know explosion magic?"
"This is not magic, it's just a curse, even you could undo it with the right word!"
"Okay, thanks Megumin, but can you hold onto that for a minute, I need to stay as Iris just a bit more"
"What? You don't want to swap back? What do you want to do as her anyway?"
"Just stay quiet and hold onto the necklace" he said, shoving the cursed artifact back into her pocket, then he turned his attention to the 'man' of the hour, "Kazuma-sama!"
"Mmm, yes Iris...sama?" Iris tilted her head, was she going to be complimented for her victory?
"I'm her with a royal decree, form now on, this day will be know as Kazuma day! When we will all join to celebrate our greatest hero, Kazuma Satou!" the boy announced, shouting from the top of his lungs, but no one seems to be paying attention to his decree, the citizens just walking pass the group as if it was another regular day.
"Uhh?" Iris' eyes grew wide, pointed a finger to her current face, "M-me?"
"Yes, the greatest hero this Kingdom has ever known! You just deserve a reward, and that reward will be this day! And the first way we will honor you is by letting you kiss the first girl that crosses your way!" Kazuma nodded to himself, placing his hands on his hips.
"A g-girl" Iris'face once again went red as she tried to hide behind her hands, she had realised something, Kazuma was technically now a girl, "D-do you count?"
"Uh? No of course I don't count!" Kazuma crossed his arms looking in the distance for any beautiful woman, his eyes immediately landing on a familiar blonde paladin, "There!" he shouted as he grabbed Iris' hand, dragging her towards Darkness, "This day, Kazuma-sama, the greatest hero of Belzerg is allowed to kiss any girl he likes, and you're the first one to receive such an honor, Lady Dustiness!"
"Uh, what are you talking about, Iris-sama?" Darkness arched an eyebrow as she saw the 'princess' dragging the leader of her party.
"Sniff..I see" Kazuma wiped away a tear, "I-I just wanted to honor my hero, Kazuma-sama, with all my friends, and I thought you were my friend, Lady Dustiness, but it seems I was...wrong!" Kazuma sobbed, burying his face on his hands.
"No, no, no! Please don't cry, Iris-sama, I'm your friend, I swear it!" Darkness had kneeling next to him, as the other two woman had before her.
"Then...would you kiss Kazuma? On the lips?" Kazuma pleaded with his best sad puppy eyes.
"Yes, I'll do anything for you!" Darkness yelled as she got up, grabbing Iris'shoulders as she prepared to obey the 'royal' order.
"Hey Kazuma" Megumin whispered into the boy's ear, bringing him back to reality, "Why do you want to see Darkness kissing Iris?"
"Uh?" he raised an eyebrow, "No I don't want that, I want her to kiss me!"
"Then why are you still in Iris' body?" she pointed the obvious.
As if a bucket of cold water fell on his face, Kazuma looked down, the frilly dress, thin arms and long blonde locks reminding him that he wasn't going to be Kazuma day's center of attention, but just a bystander, it was then when he turned to see Darkness about to press her lips against his body's own, at least until Iris, with eyes wide open, mouth agape and profusely sweating, managed to push the paladin away from her, running away from the scene.
"Kazuma, come back here!" yelled Darkness as she ran behind 'Kazuma'
"You want me to follow her?" Megumin asked, her half closed eyes and the fact that she was holding the necklace just screamed, 'I told you to swap back, but you didn't listened to me and now see what happened!'
"Yes, please" Kazuma sighed as he saw his body disappearing in the distance, with Darkness and Megumin following behind it, then a hand fell on his shoulders, he tilted his head to see it was Claire.
"I'm really sorry for Kazuma-sama running away, I'm sure he appreciates your kind gestures but he just doesn't like Lady Dustiness that way"
"I know, I have eyes..."
"Well, now that Kazuma day it's over, I think it's time for you to fulfill your duties, my lady" Claire smiled as she patted his head.
"Duties?" Kazuma's eyes grew wide as he heard that word, did she meant Iris'duties? What did she mean by that? Wasn't it enough for him to wear her frilly dress, now be had to actually act like a princess? 'This day can't get any worse' he thought to himself, hoping Megumin could quickly call Iris down and bring her back to the palace.
