Report 2: KonoSuba: God’s Blessings on this Wonderful World!

    After a couple of months as construction workers, our main characters Kazuma and Aqua decide to finally start a party to go bounty hunting. Therefore, they decide to hang a poster near their table at the adventurer’s guild, where Aqua establishes the requirements for new members of the team, and since she is a goddess, she raises the bar to accept only specialist-level classes, which are the most powerful ones in the world of Konosuba. Knowing this, Kazuma reluctantly accepts because he is a user of the weakest class: adventurer. However, after a couple of days, a very strange-looking girl appears; called by the name Megumin, she claims to be an archmage who wields the power of explosive magic, which is the strongest in its kind. In consequence, Kazuma and Aqua do not hesitate in inviting her to the party and depart on their first adventure: hunting giant frogs.

Now, during their first adventure as a party, Kazuma takes his time to analyze the situation, and thinks that hunting giant frogs might be a bit too easy for them. However, after hearing a blasting sound, he looks at Megumin lying on the ground, immobile. Kazuma asks her why she is in that state, and the archmage quickly explains that using any kind of detonation magic, especially the explosive one, requires a great amount of mana, and thus she is only capable of using her spell once a day. As a result, the hunt is a complete failure.

Kazuma decides to recruit a member who can be the frontline for his party, and thus, a very odd knight approaches him…

 The Great Gatsby 

    At the dinner Nick meets everyone, including Jordan Baker, a friend of Daisy and a professional golf player who secretly tells Nick that Tom has a mistress in New York. Later on, he meets with Daisy who tells she was unhappy, which makes Nick uncomfortable with all the news so he goes back to his home. Returning to his house he sees his neighbour Jay Gatsby standing alone and looking at a green light across the bay at the end of Daisy’s house. 

    Months later, on a trip to New York with Tom, Nick meets the mistress of Tom, Myrtle Wilson, who lives with her husband George Wilson. They step into the apartment of George and Myrtle, in which George works in the garage as a repairman. Myrtle invites them to a party in an apartment with their friends and after a lot of drinks Myrtle says to Tom when he is going to leave Daisy, which makes him furious by bringing her to the conversation that ends up punching her on the nose, nobody knows what to do and the party continues all night. On the next day Nick wakes on a train station not remembering almost everything that happened. 

    As summer goes, Nick starts to get used to the big parties that Gatsby holds every Saturday night with a lot of music and people. One day he receives a personal invitation from Gastby for his next party which without hesitation he assists. He meets Jordan there but he notices the absence of the host. Later he starts to listen to all the conversation from the people who actually don't know about Gatsby or his past. A couple of hours later, Nick meets Gatsby but just for a quick second because he was looking forward to talking with Jordan, who says something shocking to her but which cannot say to Nick.

    Nick starts to see Jordan more and even becomes an acquaintance of Gatsby. Gatsby invites Nick and Jordan to have lunch in Manhattan to get to know him more. He said that unlike what people believe, he was a member of a wealthy family in which everyone died and even that he was a war hero; Nick didn't believe entirely, however he listened to it. Later on while drinking tea, Jordan says to Nick what Gastby said to her. Apparently he met Daisy before in Louisville and they fell in love, but he returned to war for 5 years and at the end she married Tom. Gatsby bought his house on West Egg so he could be across the water from her.

Reading Report 2: James and the Giant Peach

 Up to what I have read, the story has become more interesting. 

One night, after having had all the visitors see the giant peach, aunt Spiker and aunt Sponge sent little James to clean the garden. Suddenly, he saw a tunnel near the fruit and started to crawl inside it until he arrived in the middle of the peach.

There, he found a door that led to a room. James met some funny creatures that at first he found scary, but then, he realized they were quite friendly. One of them was an Old Green Grasshopper that appears to be the leader of the creatures. Next to him are Miss Spider and Ladybug. On the other side of the room, there is a Centipede with 42 legs, a blind Earthworm, and a sleepy Silkworm. On the ceiling, there is a Glow-worm giving light to everyone.

Apparently, they all had been waiting for James because he was considered part of the group. That night, the Old Green Grasshopper said it was time to go to bed and while James was helping Centipede to take out his 42 boats, Miss Spider prepared the beds for everyone. The little boy did not know what was going to happen to him the next day.

When they woke up, they were getting prepared to leave the hill where aunt Sponge and aunt Spike lived. Centipede started cutting the stem of the peach and it started to roll and roll along the street until they fell down in the sea.
