**[00:40] Wolbach**
Are you okay? Were you hurt?
**[00:43] Megumin**
How can I become like you?
**[00:47] Wolbach**
What's your name, young lady?
**[00:52] Megumin**
It's Megumin!
**[00:54] Narrator**
The girl was lit by the red
light of the explosion's flames.
**[00:59] Narrator**
The heat and light it gave off
burnt an impression into her soul.
**[01:04] Narrator**
This is the story of the girl known to
some as a mage of exceptional quality,
***SIGN*** KONOSUBA - An Explosion on This Wonderful World!
**[01:09] Narrator**
but more commonly known as a
deranged user of explosion magic.
**[01:14] Narrator**
It's the tale of her departure
from her hometown,
**[01:16] Narrator**
and her journey to meet her true companions.
***SIGN*** Episode 1: The Crimson-Eyed Wizards
**[01:35] Wolbach**
Megumin? Is that a nickname?
**[01:38] Megumin**
It's my real name.
**[01:40] Wolbach**
Oh... okay.
**[01:42] Wolbach**
Who freed me from that seal, I wonder?
**[01:48] Wolbach**
Wait, is that—
**[01:50] Megumin**
Your magic blew away a few pieces
of this puzzle I had finally finished.
**[01:55] Megumin**
Would you help me find them?
**[01:57] Wolbach**
Your... puzzle?
**[01:59] Wolbach**
Tell me, young lady,
**[02:00] Wolbach**
didn't the grown-ups from your village
warn you about coming near here?
**[02:04] Megumin**
My mom always says any
place that's off-limits
**[02:08] Megumin**
is usually being used to hide treasure.
**[02:11] Megumin**
So I come here every day.
**[02:12] Wolbach**
Do you, now?
**[02:15] Wolbach**
It seems I owe you my thanks, young lady.
**[02:20] Wolbach**
Tell me, do you have a wish?
**[02:23] Megumin**
A wish?
**[02:25] Wolbach**
Don't be shy. Anything you want.
**[02:26] Wolbach**
I might not seem like much, but I'm
a great mage of incredible power.
**[02:31] Megumin**
World domination!
**[02:34] Wolbach**
S-Sorry, that's a bit much.
**[02:37] Wolbach**
What have I gotten myself into?
Is this girl a bigger deal than I thought?
**[02:40] Wolbach**
Um, is there anything else you want?
**[02:43] Megumin**
In that case, please give me massive boobs.
**[02:46] Wolbach**
That's also a no-go, I think.
**[02:48] Wolbach**
Besides, how old are you now?
**[02:51] Wolbach**
You don't look old enough to
worry about that sort of thing.
**[02:54] Megumin**
Then... I wanna be the Devil King!
**[02:57] Wolbach**
I-I am so sorry! Let me rephrase what I said!
**[03:00] Wolbach**
Compared to a big shot like you, I'm a
mage with only semi-moderate power!
**[03:05] Wolbach**
I think I could only grant
a moderate wish of yours!
**[03:09] Megumin**
Well, I'm missing three pieces of this thing,
so could you just help me find those?
**[03:14] Wolbach**
Okay, hang on.
**[03:15] Wolbach**
I can manage something
slightly bigger than that!
**[03:21] Wolbach**
Besides, there has to be something else,
a bigger dream of yours.
**[03:26] Megumin**
A big dream?
**[03:28] Wolbach**
Yeah.
**[03:31] Megumin**
I want you to teach me
the magic you just used!
**[03:34] Wolbach**
That's...
**[03:36] Megumin**
You have to! Please!
**[03:39] Wolbach**
I... can't really recommend
learning that magic.
**[03:45] Megumin**
Fine, then. Just help me catch some crawfish.
**[03:48] Wolbach**
You've got it wrong!
**[03:48] Wolbach**
Please don't give me that pitying
look for pitiful people!
**[03:51] Wolbach**
I'm just trying to say, that spell
has a lot of negatives to it!
**[03:54] Megumin**
What kind of magic is it?
**[03:56] Wolbach**
Well...
**[03:58] Wolbach**
It's called explosion magic, and it's
the most powerful kind there is.
**[04:03] Megumin**
The most powerful?!
**[04:17] Megumin**
Most powerful!
**[04:18] Komekko**
You rock, Sis!
**[04:20] Megumin**
Look at all these! I think we
should have grilled crawfish.
**[04:23] Megumin**
Let's pick some edible
plants while we're at it.
**[04:25] Komekko**
Yeah!
**[04:27] Megumin/Komekko**
Crawfish for dinner tomorrow!
**[04:29] Yunyun**
I see, I see.
**[04:29] Megumin/Komekko**
Crawfish for the day after! And cicadas!
**[04:32] Megumin/Komekko**
Crawfish for dinner tomorrow!
Crawfish for the day after! And cicadas!
**[04:38] Megumin/Komekko**
Crawfish for dinner tomorrow!
Crawfish for the day after!
**[04:50] Megumin**
They're quite good.
**[04:52] Yunyun**
U-Um... I wasn't really...
**[04:56] Megumin**
Bye.
**[05:00] Komekko**
Was that charity?
**[05:01] Megumin**
She had a hungry look in her eyes.
**[05:03] Komekko**
That's my sister! So generous!
**[05:11] Megumin**
Huh?
**[05:13] Komekko**
There's someone there!
**[05:16] Hyoizaburo**
Hey, Megumin! I was worried
since no one was home!
**[05:20] Megumin**
You're back!
**[05:22] Komekko**
Yay! It's Dad!
**[05:23] Hyoizaburo**
Hey, it's Kome—
**[05:25] Yuiyui**
Oh, that's quite a catch!
**[05:26] Hyoizaburo**
I gotcha! I gotcha!
**[05:27] Komekko**
Oh, no! Not tickles! Make it stop!
**[05:27] Megumin**
Mom.
**[05:29] Yuiyui**
But tonight...
**[05:33] Yuiyui**
We're having sukiyaki!
**[05:36] Megumin**
Real meat! How many months has it been?!
**[05:39] Yuiyui**
And today is special,
because everyone gets two pieces!
**[05:42] Megumin**
Did you say two?!
**[05:43] Hyoizaburo**
Your dad gets three! Doesn't he?
**[05:45] Yuiyui**
He does not!
**[05:46] Komekko**
Sis, what's sukiyaki?
**[05:49] Megumin**
It's fancy food that you only get
to eat on special occasions.
**[05:53] Megumin**
You eat them with raw egg.
**[05:55] Komekko**
Egg? Like *from a chicken*!?
**[05:58] Hyoizaburo**
To think a day would come
when I'd get to have my
**[06:00] Hyoizaburo**
darling daughters around the
table for a hot sukiyaki meal.
**[06:03] Hyoizaburo**
I made the right choice in dedicating
myself to my craftsmanship.
**[06:05] Megumin**
Has work been going that well lately?
**[06:08] Hyoizaburo**
Sure has!
**[06:09] Hyoizaburo**
I met this wonderful person who actually
understands the quality of my goods.
**[06:13] Yuiyui**
Hey, I worked hard, as well.
**[06:15] Hyoizaburo**
You sure did! Your sales pitch worked wonders.
**[06:19] Hyoizaburo**
I've gotta say, our customer
got herself quite a deal.
**[06:22] Megumin**
This is a little hard to swallow...
**[06:24] Hyoizaburo**
What?!
**[06:25] Megumin**
Who, exactly, was this customer?
**[06:36] (Flashback) Hyoizaburo**
Honey. Could you get some tea?
**[06:40] (Flashback) Hyoizaburo**
Honey... some tea?
**[06:42] (Flashback) Yuiyui**
Oh, dear, of course not!
**[06:44] (Flashback) Yuiyui**
How could we possibly have any tea
when we haven't sold a damn thing?
**[06:48] (Flashback) Yuiyui**
You can worry about luxuries
after business picks up.
**[06:54] (Flashback) Yuiyui**
Oh!
**[06:54] (Flashback) Arnes**
Well, I'm surprised to see
these sorts of things here.
**[06:58] (Flashback) Yuiyui**
Are you a traveler? Please, take your time.
**[07:01] (Flashback) Arnes**
Mm, to think that humans were
capable of this sort of craft!
**[07:06] (Flashback) Arnes**
Here, let me see that one.
**[07:08] (Flashback) Yuiyui**
Oh, this is wonderful!
Our first customer of the day.
**[07:12] (Flashback) Hyoizaburo**
Get out of here.
**[07:15] (Flashback) Hyoizaburo**
That's one of my finest pieces,
one I put a lot of work into.
**[07:18] (Flashback) Hyoizaburo**
I won't sell it to anyone who doesn't
really appreciate its value.
**[07:21] (Flashback) Yuiyui**
Oh, there you go, saying that kind of
thing for literally no reason again.
**[07:24] (Flashback) Yuiyui**
You really want to tell our hungry children
that you didn't sell anything? Again?
**[07:29] (Flashback) Arnes**
No, it's clear this wouldn't usually
be sold in a market like this.
**[07:33] (Flashback) Arnes**
I can tell that you're a magic
tool craftsman of fine skill.
**[07:37] (Flashback) Hyoizaburo**
You know what you're talking about, miss!
**[07:40] (Flashback) Hyoizaburo**
This makes the trip all
the way out here worth it!
**[07:43] (Flashback) Hyoizaburo**
Indeed, the magic power contained
in this piece is massive!
**[07:46] (Flashback) Hyoizaburo**
A real masterpiece, not like the trash
that amounts to being a good luck charm!
**[07:49] (Flashback) Arnes**
I-Is that right?
**[07:51] (Flashback) Yuiyui**
It has the ability to attract
the person you're seeking!
**[07:56] (Flashback) Arnes**
I've actually been searching for
someone dear to me for a long time.
**[07:59] (Flashback) Arnes**
It sounds like a perfect
match for my journey.
**[08:01] (Flashback) Yuiyui**
Well, with this, we Crimson Demon craftsmen
**[08:04] (Flashback) Yuiyui**
guarantee that your journey
will be a successful one!
**[08:07] (Flashback) Yuiyui**
It'll be ten thousand eris!
**[08:08] (Flashback) Arnes**
A guarantee? A pact, in other words?
**[08:12] (Flashback) Yuiyui**
Huh? Sure, of course!
**[08:15] (Flashback) Arnes**
Interesting. I'll take it!
**[08:18] (Flashback) Parents**
Thanks for your purchase!
**[08:22] Hyoizaburo**
She was a real sweetheart with
an uncommon eye for quality!
**[08:26] Hyoizaburo**
Probably a famous adventurer!
**[08:28] Megumin**
Well, it sounds like you did a good deed.
**[08:31] Yuiyui**
I bet she's pleased with her purchase.
**[08:33] Yuiyui**
And thanks to her, we get to eat real meat.
**[08:36] Hyoizaburo**
And now I can afford a new
uniform for my daughter.
**[08:40] Hyoizaburo**
I feel genuine paternal pride!
**[08:43] Yuiyui**
That's right, Megumin.
**[08:44] Megumin**
Really and truly? After you said I'd
be stuck with your hand-me-downs?
**[08:48] Yuiyui**
Well, you didn't seem happy about that.
**[08:50] Megumin**
I mean, considering you customized it
to match the trends of your era...
**[08:54] Hyoizaburo**
Hey, now! Your mother made that look work!
**[08:56] Hyoizaburo**
It was totally tubular!
**[08:59] Hyoizaburo**
People were wondering,
"Is this chick the last boss?"
**[09:01] Yuiyui**
Come on, that was a long time ago.
**[09:03] Megumin**
This "tubular" talk is exactly
why I was against the idea.
***SIGN*** KONOSUBA - An Explosion on This Wonderful World!
**[09:07] Hyoizaburo**
Totally tubular!
**[09:11] Megumin**
Truly, when wearing the
uniform of our magic academy,
**[09:13] Megumin**
it's only fitting that you wear
your own set, in your own style!
**[09:18] Komekko**
You're awesome, Sis!
**[09:20] Yuiyui**
How adorable!
**[09:21] Hyoizaburo**
My little girl has grown up so much!
**[09:24] Yuiyui**
She's only just enrolled, dear.
**[09:25] Hyoizaburio**
Honey, put on the fancy tea!
**[09:27] Yuiyui**
We have boiled water. How about that?
**[09:30] Megumin**
Mom, Dad, I intend to learn at
the academy in order to become...
**[09:35] Megumin**
a great master of explosion magic!
**[09:47] Headmaster**
Congratulations on your enrollment, everyone.
**[09:50] Headmaster**
And welcome to the temple
of Crimson Demon learning,
**[09:53] Headmaster**
and the greatest magic academy in the world!
**[09:56] Headmaster**
The Red Prison!
**[10:04] Headmaster**
May your journey down the paths of sorcery
and magic be bathed in the crimson light!
**[10:10] Headmaster**
I will now recite from the pulse-pounding
scripture of the second book,
**[10:12] Pucchin**
* Not good. If the headmaster starts in on*
* the sagas, we're gonna be here all night.*
**[10:14] Headmaster**
so that our new students
**[10:16] Headmaster**
may have the opportunity to thoroughly
absorb, in great detail, the—
**[10:17] Pucchin**
Uh, this hereby concludes this
year's matriculation ceremony!
**[10:20] Headmaster**
Hey! It was just about to get good!
**[10:23] Headmaster**
At least let me get to the
third book of the saga!
**[10:26] Headmaster**
You didn't mind last year!
**[10:28] Pucchin**
Well, everyone, good luck with
your lessons starting tomorrow.
**[10:35] Megumin**
* The Red Prison. This is where the*
* first page of my story is written.*
**[10:40] Megumin**
* And here are my contemporaries, who will*
* soon be reduced to mere stepping stones.*
**[10:44] Funifura**
It's finally over. The headmaster
never knows when to stop.
**[10:49] Dodonko**
A class of eleven, huh?
**[10:51] Funifura**
Well, it's not a big village.
**[10:54] Arue**
The chosen eleven. Eleven is a sorcerous number.
**[10:58] Dodonko**
Oh, nice! Sounds cool.
**[11:01] Funifura**
You coming, Megumin?
**[11:02] Funifura**
There's a party at Nerimaki's house.
Her family runs the pub.
**[11:06] Megumin**
I'm not here to make friends.
**[11:08] Arue**
Impressive. Putting on the lone wolf act
already at the enrollment ceremony.
**[11:12] Arue**
She gets it.
**[11:16] Yunyun**
E-Excuse me...
**[11:18] Megumin**
Can I help you?
**[11:19] Megumin**
Uh... who were you again?
**[11:21] Yunyun**
We live in the same village!
You don't know my name?
**[11:24] Megumin**
You just... don't make much of an impression.
**[11:26] Yunyun**
Really? Nothing at all?
**[11:27] Megumin**
Honestly, no.
**[11:29] Funifura**
Let's see, if I remember right...
**[11:31] Dodonko**
Isn't she the chief's daughter?
**[11:33] Yunyun**
M-My name is Yunyun!
**[11:35] FuniDonko**
Oh, right, right!
**[11:36] Arue**
I had no idea you were
in the same year as us.
**[11:39] Arue**
You kind of blend into the background.
**[11:41] Megumin**
So, what do you want, Yunyun?
**[11:43] Megumin**
I'm in a bit of a hurry.
**[11:45] Yunyun**
Oh, well...
**[11:47] Yunyun**
I've been looking forward
to meeting you, is all!
**[11:51] Megumin**
Really? When we barely know each other?
**[11:53] Megumin**
Are you stalking me?
**[11:54] Yunyun**
Wait, no... I didn't mean it like that!
**[11:56] Megumin**
Well, it's a creepy notion,
so please don't follow me around.
**[11:59] Yunyun**
Wait... I...
**[12:03] Yunyun**
I enrolled here to defeat you!
**[12:10] Arue**
Declaring yourself her rival so early on.
An exciting turn of events, for sure.
**[12:16] Yunyun**
W-Wait, no, I mean...
**[12:19] Megumin**
*And thus, my school days began.*
**[12:26] Megumin**
*Life in the Red Prison was beyond harsh.*
**[12:31] Megumin**
* Crimson Demons are only considered*
* adults after learning advanced magic,*
**[12:35] Megumin**
* but that's not the kind of*
* magic I'm interested in.*
**[12:38] Megumin**
*I want what I saw on that day. That...*
**[12:42] Pucchin**
Well, it's been a month since
you all started attending class.
**[12:47] Pucchin**
Today I'm going to lecture you
on special classes of magic.
**[12:50] Pucchin**
In addition to advanced magic,
**[12:52] Pucchin**
there's also blasting magic,
bursting magic, and bombing magic.
**[12:56] Megumin**
Teacher! Something crucial isn't in the text.
**[12:59] Pucchin**
Say what?
**[12:59] Megumin**
There's nothing about explosion magic.
**[13:02] Funifura**
Explosion?
**[13:03] Arue**
Is she serious?
**[13:06] Pucchin**
Whatever you do,
don't pursue explosion magic.
**[13:09] Megumin**
Why not?
**[13:10] Pucchin**
Explosion magic is...
**[13:12] Pucchin**
something that repays
an entire life's pursuit of it
**[13:16] Pucchin**
with no practical applications.
**[13:19] Pucchin**
It's basically joke magic!
**[13:23] Funifura**
Come on, Megumin, quit trying to crack us up!
**[13:26] Arue**
You have comedic talent,
as well. Very impressive.
**[13:30] Pucchin**
Come on, it's not that funny, people!
**[13:38] Pucchin**
Okay, it's time for combat training,
formerly known as gym class!
**[13:43] Funifura**
Yes! I've been looking forward to this!
**[13:46] Pucchin**
Now, what is the most important thing
**[13:48] Pucchin**
when a Crimson Demon engages in combat?
**[13:50] Pucchin**
Let's hear from our
second-ranked tester, Yunyun!
**[13:54] Yunyun**
Uh, m-me?
**[13:56] Yunyun**
U-Um, in combat, it's important to...
**[14:00] Yunyun**
r-remain calm!
**[14:02] Yunyun**
You have to remain calm
and never lose your composure!
**[14:05] Pucchin**
Five points.
**[14:06] Yunyun**
Only five?!
**[14:07] Pucchin**
Next up, number one, Megumin!
**[14:09] Megumin**
Destructive power!
**[14:11] Megumin**
The strength to obliterate everything!
**[14:13] Megumin**
I believe that power is
the most important of all!
**[14:16] Pucchin**
Eh, fifty points for that.
**[14:18] Pucchin**
True, power is valuable.
**[14:20] Pucchin**
But you're wrong! It's only worth fifty points!
**[14:23] Megumin**
I-I only scored fifty points?
**[14:26] Yunyun**
That's still ten times what I got.
**[14:29] Pucchin**
Arue! I'm sure you know the answer.
**[14:33] Arue**
Looking cool, sir.
**[14:35] Pucchin**
Oh, yeah! The full hundred points!
Yes, it's looking cool!
**[14:38] Pucchin**
Crimson Demon combat doesn't
begin unless it begins in style!
**[14:41] Pucchin**
Allow me to demonstrate
exactly what that means.
**[14:45] Pucchin**
Call of Thunderstorm!
**[14:54] Pucchin**
My name is Pucchin!
**[14:55] Pucchin**
Arch wizard and master of advanced magic!
**[14:59] Pucchin**
The foremost homeroom teacher
among the Crimson Demons,
**[15:01] Pucchin**
and he who shall usurp
the headmaster's throne!
**[15:06] Students**
S-So cool!
**[15:09] Funifura**
So that's what he summoned those clouds for.
**[15:13] Dodonko**
Makes sense.
**[15:14] Yunyun**
I-It's so embarrassing!
**[15:16] Funifura**
What are you talking about?
That's our whole deal!
**[15:18] Arue**
We are Crimson Demons.
**[15:20] Pucchin**
Ow, hot!
**[15:22] Pucchin**
Okay, I want you to split up into pairs.
**[15:26] Pucchin**
Focus on coming up with a
cool way to declare yourself,
**[15:28] Pucchin**
and experiment with great posing!
**[15:30] Students**
Okay.
**[15:32] Yunyun**
P-Pairs?
**[15:36] Pucchin**
Okay, whoever's left will
be paired up with me.
***SIGN*** KONOSUBA - An Explosion on This Wonderful World!
**[15:45] Megumin**
Enemy sighted!
**[15:47] Megumin**
Based on my personnel statistics study,
**[15:50] Megumin**
there's a high likelihood of you becoming
a very powerful mage in the future.
**[15:54] Megumin**
Which is why I should assert my
dominance over you right now!
**[15:58] Arue**
I have no idea what you're on about,
but I can tell you're motivated!
***SIGN*** KONOSUBA - An Explosion on This Wonderful World!

Explosion!

My name is Funifura!
I just enrolled and am studying magic!
**[16:08] Funifura**
A-And y'know...
**[16:09] Dodonko**
My name is Dodonko!
**[16:11] Dodonko**
Uh... and then... what comes next?
**[16:14] Nerimaki**
My name is Nerimaki!
**[16:16] Nerimaki**
The daughter of a thriving local pub owner!
**[16:18] Nerimaki**
Service with a smile,
but we only accept cash!
**[16:20] Nerimaki**
Wait. That doesn't sound right.
**[16:22] Poritan**
It's hard to come up with
something on the spot, yeah.
**[16:24] Poritan**
Explosion!

My name is Arue.
**[16:27] Arue**
She who will master advanced magic
and wield an authorial pen!
**[16:31] Arue**
The foremost in personal development
in the new class of students!
**[16:34] Megumin**
Damn your developments!
**[16:35] Megumin**
They're massive!
***SIGN*** KONOSUBA - An Explosion on This Wonderful World!
**[16:38] Pucchin**
Seems only Arue knows what she's doing.
**[16:40] Pucchin**
Go on, give it a try, Yunyun.
**[16:42] Yunyun**
O-Okay.
**[16:44] Yunyun**
Um...
**[16:45] Yunyun**
I... I'm the chief's daughter, and, um...
**[16:50] Pucchin**
Come now! How are you going to
do this if you're embarrassed?
**[16:52] Pucchin**
Mastery of declaring yourself is
mastery of Crimson Demon combat!
**[16:56] Yunyun**
But, sir, it's so embarrassing.
**[16:58] Pucchin**
Well, that is an odd thing
for a Crimson Demon to say!
**[17:03] Pucchin**
An odd thing indeed!
**[17:07] Arue**
What's wrong?
**[17:08] Megumin**
Nothing.
**[17:16] Megumin**
Teacher. I'm not feeling well, so is it
all right if I sit out PE again today?
**[17:21] Pucchin**
Again with this? You know today's
lesson is important, right?
**[17:24] Pucchin**
You can't fake being sick to get out it.
**[17:27] Megumin**
Th-The awakening!
**[17:29] Megumin**
If nothing is done, the other entity
inside me will seize control!
**[17:33] Pucchin**
Megumin! No! It can't be...
**[17:35] Pucchin**
Is *the thing* sealed within
you trying to awaken?!
**[17:41] Pucchin**
So be it.
**[17:42] Pucchin**
You can rest over there.
**[17:44] Pucchin**
You must ensure the seal remains intact!
**[17:47] Megumin**
Understood. If you'll excuse me.
**[17:52] Arue**
Yunyun, it appears I'm down a partner.
**[17:56] Arue**
Would you join me?
**[17:58] Yunyun**
Oh, okay! Thanks.
**[18:02] Yunyun**
Um... I'm going to be chief
of the village someday...
**[18:07] Yunyun**
Well, honestly, I'm not sure about that...
**[18:09] Arue**
Then just bluff about it.
**[18:12] Yunyun**
Bluff?
**[18:14] Megumin**
Stare.
**[18:18] Arue**
Like this. And then like that!
**[18:18] Yunyun**
This?
**[18:25] Yunyun**
Teacher, it's raining!
**[18:27] Pucchin**
Come to think of it, the source of magic
power, the moon, is at its apex today.
**[18:32] Pucchin**
It seems my strength is
overflowing as a result.
**[18:36] Funifura**
You could just admit you didn't
think of a way to stop it!
**[18:39] Arue**
The headmaster's beloved tulip
flowerbed is being washed away.
**[18:43] Pucchin**
Huh, really?
**[18:45] Pucchin**
Wait, no!
**[18:47] Pucchin**
This is bad! Everyone, catch those tulips!
**[18:50] Pucchin**
Or I could lose my job!
**[18:52] Arue**
You really want to blurt that part out?
**[18:57] Megimin**
Teacher, my stomach hurts, so I'm
gonna head to the nurse's office.
**[19:00] Pucchin**
Oh, come off it and help!
**[19:07] Megumin**
Yunyun! It's headed your way!
**[19:11] Pucchin**
Damn it... Wait, I know.
The seal has been broken!
**[19:15] Pucchin**
This rain was caused by a dark god!
**[19:17] Dodonko**
Now he's blaming dark gods.
***SIGN*** KONOSUBA - An Explosion on This Wonderful World!
**[19:28] Megumin**
What in the world just happened?
**[19:30] Megumin**
How was any of this educational?
**[19:32] Yunyun**
It would've been easier
if we could use magic...
**[19:36] Megumin**
Tell me about it.
**[19:37] Yunyun**
I can't wait to learn some.
**[19:40] Megumin**
Tell me about it!
**[19:41] Megumin**
This mess could've been solved with
a single, powerful explosion spell...
**[19:46] Megumin**
Never mind.
**[19:48] Yunyun**
Hey, Megumin...
**[19:50] Yunyun**
I know everyone laughed,
**[19:52] Yunyun**
but I think whether it's a joke
would depend on who's using it.
**[19:55] Megumin**
Don't be so friendly.
**[19:57] Megumin**
You're supposed to be my rival, aren't you?
**[20:01] Yunyun**
Y-You're right! We're rivals,
competing in mastery of magic!
**[20:05] Yunyun**
I might've come in second place
during exams, but next time—
**[20:08] Megumin**
Sure, sure.
**[20:09] Yunyun**
Do you have to sound so dismissive?!
**[20:32] Megumin**
*Explosion magic... is joke magic?*
**[20:38] Megumin**
*No. I saw it on that day.*
**[20:41] Megumin**
*That light...*
**[20:52] (Flashback) Wolbach**
This is dangerous, young lady.
You'll want to back up.
**[21:06] (Flashback) Wolbach**
You need to rest a bit longer, my other half.
**[21:10] (Flashback) Wolbach**
This world is too peaceful for
your presence at the moment.
**[21:16] (Flashback) Wolbach**
Rest within the primordial flame,
cloaked by the smoke of supremacy.
**[21:21] (Flashback) Wolbach**
Explosion!
**[21:21] Megumin**
Explosion!
**[21:41] Megumin**
*I don't care if it's a joke.*
**[21:44] Megumin**
*I'm going to master explosion magic,*
**[21:48] Megumin**
*and become a mage like that woman!*

Big trouble, Megumin!
**[23:26] Yunyun**
We don't know magic yet, but we're
already having combat practice!
**[23:29] Megumin**
I shall slay my foes with
a single physical blow!

That's allowed?!

Oh, no! A flock of gargoyles is flying in!

**[00:03] Smith**
Hey, hey!
**[00:05] Smith**
You gals on your way back from
school? I've got great low prices.
**[00:08] Smith**
Take a look! These deals are today only.
**[00:13] Megumin**
I was wondering what you wanted...
**[00:15] Megumin**
But "I've always dreamed of shopping for
cute trinkets with a friend after school"?
**[00:21] Yunyun**
So mean! Why would you say that?
**[00:23] Megumin**
For one thing, we're not friends.
**[00:30] Megumin**
What? The daggers?
**[00:32] Yunyun**
Yeah. They're so pretty.
**[00:34] Megumin**
You want one?
**[00:35] Yunyun**
Yeah.
**[00:39] Nerimaki**
And Megumin picked it out for you? Wow.
**[00:43] Yunyun**
Yeah! She said this one was better!
**[00:46] Megumin**
Don't get the wrong idea!
**[00:48] Megumin**
You were taking way too long
to make up your mind,
**[00:50] Megumin**
so I simply pointed at the
one I thought was the best!
**[00:56] Megumin**
What is with you today? Honestly!
**[00:59] Megumin**
Now, Yunyun...
**[01:00] Megumin**
I bet you're going to say,
"Time for another duel!" again today.
**[01:03] Megumin**
Well, I've thought up a delightful game!
**[01:12] Megumin**
Take your precious dagger,
**[01:14] Megumin**
and stab between my fingers as many
times and as quickly as possible!
**[01:18] Yunyun**
What?!
**[01:19] Megumin**
Go on! Get to it!
**[01:21] Megumin**
Ready, go!
**[01:22] Megumin**
One... two...
**[01:25] Yunyun**
Whoa! H-Hang on! Just hold on a sec!
**[01:27] Yunyun**
I can't do this! No way!
**[01:29] Megumin**
What's the matter?
**[01:30] Megumin**
If you can't stab between every
finger before I count to ten,
**[01:33] Megumin**
you'll have lost, Yunyun!
**[01:36] Megumin**
Five... six... seven...
**[01:40] Yunyun**
I don't care, then!
Let's just say I lost today! Again!
**[01:44] Yunyun**
I'll give you my lunch, too!

**[03:22] Megumin**
I'm home!
**[03:25] Komekko**
Welcome home, Sis!
**[03:28] Megumin**
Oh, my! You're covered in dirt.
**[03:32] Megumin**
I thought you were supposed
to watch the house.
**[03:35] Megumin**
Were you playing outside again?
**[03:37] Komekko**
Yep! I beat up the newspaper guy,
and then I went and played.
**[03:43] Megumin**
Another victory? As befits my little sister.
**[03:46] Komekko**
I found a toy, too,
so I've been playing with it!
**[03:50] Komekko**
You wanna try?
**[03:51] Megumin**
A toy?
**[03:54] Komekko**
Something on you smells good, Sis!
**[03:56] Megumin**
Ah, as perceptive as ever, little sister.
**[04:00] Megumin**
I brought you something.
**[04:02] Megumin**
An offering to the magical deity:
a lamb sandwich!
**[04:06] Megumin**
Now, feast until your stomach bursts!
**[04:12] Komekko**
Wow! I feel like the Devil King himself!
**[04:15] Komekko**
Let's save the dinner I
caught for tomorrow, then.
**[04:20] Megumin**
You caught something?
**[04:22] Komekko**
Yep! A big one.
**[04:23] Megumin**
Such familial piety!
**[04:26] Megumin**
Well done, Komekko.
**[04:30] Komekko**
Hang on a sec!
**[04:33] Megumin**
*I wonder what she caught.*
**[04:36] Megumin**
*Cicadas? Or crickets, perhaps?*
**[04:39] Megumin**
*Beetles are a little earthy for my liking,*
**[04:42] Megumin**
*but that can be fixed with deep-frying.*
**[04:47] Megumin**
That's...
**[04:48] Komekko**
Look! A fierce ebon beast that I
felled after a battle to the death!
**[04:56] Megumin**
Well, you certainly did catch a big one.
**[05:00] Komekko**
Yep! I worked hard!
**[05:01] Komekko**
It fought back at first,
but it settled down after I bit it!
**[05:07] Megumin**
I'm glad you won the battle, but you really
shouldn't go around biting things randomly.
**[05:13] Komekko**
I shouldn't?
**[05:22] Komekko**
Want some?
**[05:23] Megumin**
I'm full, so you can have it all.
**[05:28] Megumin**
More importantly, will you
relinquish this furball to me?
**[05:31] Komekko**
Okay!
**[05:33] Megumin**
*Well, now, what am I going to do with you?*
**[05:47] Yunyun**
Megumin...
**[05:49] Yunyun**
M-Megumin!
**[05:51] Megumin**
Good morning. What's that
concerned look for?
**[05:55] Yunyun**
Where'd she come from?
**[05:57] Megumin**
She's my familiar.
**[05:58] Dodonko**
A familiar?!
**[05:59] Dodonko**
I thought wizards with familiars
were strictly a fairy tale thing!
**[06:06] Funifura**
Look! It's making such an
adorable, but impudent face!
**[06:09] Funifura**
It's terrifying! A perfect innocent-kitty act
**[06:12] Funifura**
to hide her intention to steal
our lunches for her mistress!
**[06:16] Dodonko**
I hate to do it! But here's my lunch...
**[06:20] Megumin**
* That should make feeding*
* her a lot more affordable.*
**[06:23] Megumin**
* This level of popularity, though...*
* Maybe she has some kind of charm magic?*
**[06:30] Yunyun**
She's so fluffy...
**[06:35] Nerimaki**
So, did you name her yet?
**[06:38] Megumin**
Not yet, no.
**[06:39] Arue**
Familiar or not, are you sure it was
a good idea to bring her to school?
**[06:43] Megumin**
My home environment poses some threats
**[06:45] Megumin**
that make me uncomfortable
leaving her there alone.
**[06:48] Dodonko**
Wait, what threats?
**[06:49] Yunyun**
She's so cute... but will
our teacher say it's okay?
**[06:56] Pucchin**
Denied.
**[06:57] Megumin**
Sir, this cat is my familiar,
who feeds off of my magical power!
**[07:02] Megumin**
If we're separated,
she'll die in short order.
**[07:04] Pucchin**
Denied. You can't even use magic,
and you're claiming to have a familiar?
**[07:08] Pucchin**
The school's rules say no
familiars and no snacks.
**[07:11] Pucchin**
Go on, take it back to where you found it.
**[07:14] Megumin**
Sir! You are looking at a
fragmented aspect of my soul,
**[07:17] Megumin**
the incarnation of my dark side!
**[07:18] Megumin**
We cannot be separated!
**[07:21] Pucchin**
What? A fragmented aspect of your soul?
**[07:24] Megumin**
Not only that, but if we're separated,
she'll go berserk, grow gigantic, and—
**[07:29] Pucchin**
All right, I'll allow it!
**[07:30] Megumin**
Yes, she'll unleash a mysterious
dark matter on the—
**[07:33] Megumin**
Wait, really?
**[07:35] Pucchin**
That one sounded pretty good, after all.
**[07:38] Pucchin**
Megumin, you get ten points!
**[07:40] Pucchin**
Besides, I've got a feeling this
will be good, so I'll allow it.
**[07:45] Megumin**
Well, thank you very much.
**[07:48] Pucchin**
Now that we've settled this familiar
matter, let's begin class...
**[07:53] Pucchin**
is what I'd normally say, but today's
lesson will be a little special.
**[07:57] Megumin**
A special lesson?
**[07:59] Pucchin**
The seal on one of our
village's tourist attractions,
**[08:02] Pucchin**
the tomb of the Dark God, is weakening.
**[08:04] Pucchin**
This has caused the monsters in
the area to become more active.
**[08:08] Pucchin**
Simmer down, now!
**[08:10] Pucchin**
The village's unemployed...
**[08:12] Pucchin**
I mean, our brave and otherwise
unoccupied residents
**[08:15] Pucchin**
have dealt with the dangerous monsters.
**[08:16] Pucchin**
Any that are left will be on the weak side.
**[08:19] Pucchin**
Which is why...
**[08:22] Pucchin**
You will all take part in the traditional
**[08:24] Pucchin**
Crimson Demon augmentation surge,
in order to raise your levels quickly!
**[08:28] Pucchin**
I expect to see you all in
the courtyard in 30 minutes!
**[08:32] Pucchin**
Figure out your groups
beforehand, also! That is all!
**[08:38] Unmarked ad-lib**
I guess we've gotta make groups...
**[08:40] Unmarked ad-lib**
With only 30 minutes to figure
it out? Better be quick.
**[08:43] Megumin**
What is it?
**[08:44] Yunyun**
W-Well.... it's a group
activity, apparently...
**[08:48] Megumin**
And what of it?
**[08:50] Yunyun**
Well... you see...
**[08:53] Arue**
Megumin, if you don't have a partner,
would you care to join me?
**[08:57] Megumin**
That's fine.
**[09:02] Megumin**
Good grief... Yunyun, this time—
**[09:05] Funifura**
Hey, Yunyun! Wanna be in our group?
**[09:08] Dodonko**
You're usually left out. You should join us.
**[09:11] Yunyun**
A-Are you sure?
**[09:13] Funifura**
Of course. You're our classmate, right?
**[09:14] Dodonko**
So we're basically friends.
**[09:16] Yunyun**
F-Friends?!
**[09:17] Funifura**
Come on, let's go.
**[09:19] Yunyun**
Sure!
**[09:25] Arue**
So this...
**[09:27] Arue**
is cuckolding.
**[09:28] Megumin**
That's not what it is!
**[09:32] Pucchin**
All right, time for the
special lesson to begin.
**[09:35] Pucchin**
If you don't have your own
weapon, use one of these.
**[09:46] Pucchin**
We Crimson Demons can use our magical power
to temporarily amplify our body's strength!
**[09:52] Pucchin**
As long as you focus your mind,
this ability should come naturally.
**[09:56] Pucchin**
You go first, Arue.
**[10:00] Arue**
Magical power within...
travel the paths of my blood,
**[10:04] Arue**
and grant my limbs great strength!
**[10:10] Class**
Wow!
**[10:14] Yunyun**
S-Sir! These are all hollow,
and really light.
**[10:20] Pucchin**
Minus five points, Yunyun.
**[10:27] Pucchin**
We will now perform the
Crimson Demon secret rite,
**[10:31] Pucchin**
the augmentation surge.
**[10:32] Pucchin**
Freeze Bind!
**[10:40] Pucchin**
All right, now slay this thing.
**[10:43] Yunyun**
Augmentation surge?
**[10:44] Yunyun**
And it's just... beating a
monster that's held in place?
**[10:48] Pucchin**
It's on the verge of dying thanks
to my magic anyway. Relax!
**[10:52] Pucchin**
Now, who will be the champion to claim
victory over this abominable monster?!
**[11:03] Megumin**
The first blow should be struck
by the most prodigious.
**[11:06] Megumin**
Consider it done!
**[11:08] Yunyun**
Megumin!
**[11:09] Pucchin**
That's the spirit. No wonder
you're top of the class.
**[11:13] Pucchin**
All right, I need to prepare
the rest of the ritual,
**[11:16] Pucchin**
so make sure to boost those levels.
**[11:20] Yunyun**
H-Hey... Are you really going to do this?
**[11:23] Megumin**
As sad as it makes me,
**[11:24] Megumin**
this is our fate as Crimson Demons,
whose lives are a battlefield.
**[11:27] Megumin**
* Being able to level up just by*
* finishing off a near-dead monster...*
**[11:31] Megumin**
*Easy!*
**[11:34] Megumin**
Now, servant of great evil.
Open your ears to my requiem,
**[11:38] Megumin**
and fall into eternal slumber!
**[11:46] Megumin**
W-Wait! It's not weakened at all!
**[11:50] Megumin**
Damn you! Insolent cold-blooded fiend!
**[11:52] Megumin**
Hear the primal cry of my physical verbiage!
**[12:00] Megumin**
I-I win!
***SIGN*** KONOSUBA - An Explosion on This Wonderful World!
**[12:10] Funifura**
Y-Yunyun, hurry up and do it!
**[12:13] Funifura**
We need to finish here and
move on to the next one!
**[12:15] Yunyun**
B-But... it looked me right in the eye...
**[12:18] Dodonko**
You're the second-ranked honor
student! Show us how it's done!
**[12:29] Yunyun**
S-Sorry, I just can't!
**[12:31] Funifura**
What?!
**[12:32] Funifura**
We're Crimson Demons!
We're way more fierce than that!
**[12:35] Dodonko**
It should be easy to finish
off an immobilized monster!
**[12:39] Megumin**
Are you really having so much
trouble with that small fry?
**[12:44] Megumin**
Go on! Claim the doe-eyed
sacrifice before you!
**[12:49] Dodonko**
Why are you so strong?!
**[12:50] Dodonko**
Q-Quit it! No! No!
**[12:55] Megumin**
We are the ruthless Crimson Demons.
**[12:57] Megumin**
Felling a monster that can't
flee should be child's play!
**[13:00] Dodonko**
I'm sorry! I'm really sorry, so please stop!
**[13:03] Dodonko**
It keeps going, "Kew!"
**[13:04] Megumin**
Better to end it quickly, then!
**[13:07] Dodonko**
I'm sorry!
**[13:07] Yunyun**
Megumin! You're making Dodonko cry!
**[13:28] Dodonko**
What was that?! What *was that*?!
**[13:31] Arue**
So a gargoyle is free...
**[13:33] Arue**
Another sign of the Dark God's
impending release?
**[13:35] Megumin**
What is a dangerous monster
like that doing here?!
**[13:38] Arue**
Most likely, one of the
petrified ornaments got loose.
**[13:42] Yunyun**
What exactly is a petrified ornament?!
**[13:44] Arue**
The hot new hobby among some
of the adults, apparently.
**[13:47] Nerimaki**
Now that you mention it...
**[13:56] Megumin**
Why can't those people ever
do anything helpful?!
**[14:03] Bukkorori**
Burning Flash!
**[14:14] Megmin**
Wh-What was that?
**[14:19] Bukkorori**
Hey! I thought I finally heard
a familiar voice. It's Megumin!
**[14:23] Megumin**
B-Bukkorori?!
**[14:24] Dodonko**
Wait, who is this?
**[14:26] Yunyun**
I think he's...
**[14:28] Bukkorori**
Are you girls friends with Megumin?
**[14:32] Bukkorori**
I am called Bukkorori!
**[14:34] Bukkorori**
Arch wizard, and wielder of advanced magic!
**[14:37] Bukkorori**
The son of the foremost cobbler
among the Crimson Demons,
**[14:40] Bukkorori**
and he who shall inherit the shoe shop!
**[14:43] Bukkorori**
So, would you girls mind
hauling me out of here?
**[14:47] Megumin**
I'm more curious about what you're doing in
the middle of the woods, and also, in a hole.
**[14:52] Bukkorori**
It's all for Soketto.
**[14:54] Arue**
Soketto, as in the foremost
Crimson Demon beauty?
**[14:59] Yunyun**
Right. And Bukkorori here is,
er... Soketto's stalker.
**[15:03] Bukkorori**
I'm not a stalker!
I'm just honest about my love.
**[15:08] Bukkorori**
Yes, it was for that very love
that I dug this pitfall.
**[15:12] Bukkorori**
Soketto comes to this forest
every day, by herself, to train.
**[15:15] Bukkorori**
She's beautiful, cute, and strong, too?!
You're cheating, Soketto, my dear!
**[15:20] Bukkorori**
Now, she prefers to use
lightning attack magic,
**[15:23] Bukkorori**
which tends to leave you blinded
right after the flash, right?
**[15:27] Bukkorori**
Which means it'd be perfectly natural
for her to fall into a hole that I dug
**[15:31] Bukkorori**
without even realizing it!
**[15:33] Bukkorori**
She can't use Teleport yet, after all.
**[15:36] Bukkorori**
I'm sure she'll be stuck, with no way out.
**[15:38] Bukkorori**
Which is when I arrive to save her!
**[15:41] Bukkorori**
It was a lot of work to get it
to just the right depth, y'know.
**[15:45] Bukkorori**
See?
**[15:47] Bukkorori**
Just within arm's reach, right?
**[15:51] Girls**
Ew!
**[15:53] Girls**
Anyway, I forgot that I can't use
Teleport yet either, and so here I am.
**[16:01] Girls**
Now, girls, please pull me to freedom!
**[16:06] Dodonko**
That's just plain creepy.
**[16:07] Funifura**
Unbelievable...
**[16:08] Yunyun**
Gross.
**[16:09] Bukkorori**
B-But why?!
**[16:11] Bukkorori**
I just wanted a legitimate
way to hold Soketto's hand!
**[16:15] Arue**
If only you could redo your
life from the fetal stage.
**[16:18] Bukkorori**
From a fetus?!
**[16:19] Megumin**
This is a fine place for a landfill.
**[16:21] Bukkorori**
Whoa, hang on! Don't leave me!
**[16:23] Bukkorori**
Help me out of here, at least!
**[16:25] Bukkorori**
Aw, come on! Please! Hey!
**[16:37] Yunyun**
O-Oh, no! The village!
What's everyone doing?!
**[16:41] Dodonko**
No way!
**[16:45] Pucchin**
Light of Saber!
**[16:52] Headmaster**
Prized students of our academy...
**[16:55] Dodonko**
Teacher!
**[16:56] Pucchin**
You girls all right?
**[16:57] Yunyun**
W-We are!
**[16:59] Yunyun**
But the village... There's a horde
of gargoyles attacking the village!
**[17:02] Nerimaki**
If this keeps up...
**[17:04] Pucchin**
Right...
**[17:06] Headmaster**
Who could have predicted my ornamental
gargoyles causing this disaster?
**[17:11] Arue**
Is this the curse of the crimson eyes?
**[17:13] Arue**
Or perhaps judgment
delivered to man in his arrogance?
**[17:18] Headmaster**
My dear students, worry not.
**[17:20] Headmaster**
Before you stands the battle-hardened
Lord of the Red Prison!
**[17:27] Pucchin**
And it is not only us who head
into this dance of death!
**[17:31] Chekera**
I am called Chekera!
**[17:33] Chekera**
Arch wizard and owner of the foremost
clothing store among the Crimson Demons!
**[17:37] Shikobei**
I am called Shikobei!
**[17:38] Shikobei**
Arch wizard and the foremost fisherman
among the Crimson Demons!
**[17:41] Chakamiya**
I am called Chakamiya!
**[17:43] Chakamiya**
Arch wizard and owner of the foremost
bakery among the Crimson Demons!
**[17:46] Torosuke**
I am called Torosuke!
**[17:47] Torosuke**
Arch wizard and owner of the foremost
café among Crimson Demons!
**[17:52] Adults**
The time has come to pool
our collective power!
**[17:55] Adults**
Light of Saber!
**[17:58] Headmaster**
King of the storm! The time has come
to display your despotic grandeur!
**[18:02] Headmaster**
Inferno!
**[18:04] Pucchin**
Infernal flames that consume creation!
Scorch the foes before me into oblivion!
**[18:09] Pucchin**
Energy Ignition!
**[18:17] Funifura**
W-Wow!
**[18:19] Dodonko**
They're blowing those gargoyles
away as if they were ants!
**[18:21] Arue**
All who stand in defiance of the
crimson eyes are reduced to cinders!
**[18:27] Megumin**
That's advanced magic...
**[18:29] Nerimaki**
We'll be learning amazing magic like
that before we graduate, won't we?
**[18:34] Megumin**
* It's true that these spells*
* are all impressive.*
**[18:37] Megumin**
*Devastatingly so. And yet...*
**[18:40] Megumin**
*This isn't it. It's not what I want!*
**[18:45] Megumin**
*Heat that burns your skin,*
**[18:48] Megumin**
*a shock wave that leaves you trembling,*
**[18:50] Megumin**
*the scent of blasted earth...*
**[18:52] Megumin**
* Glaring light that stabs the eyes,*
* and the painful smoke!*
**[18:56] Megumin**
*Compared to the magic she used...*
**[18:58] Megumin**
* This is completely different,*
* compared to explosion magic!*
**[19:02] Torosuke**
Tornado!
**[19:04] Shikobei**
Earth Shaker!
**[19:05] Chakamiya**
Call of Thunderstorm!
**[19:11] Nerimaki**
H-Huh?
**[19:14] Nerimaki**
My family's pub... is on fire?
**[19:17] Headmaster**
Crimson Laser!
**[19:22] Headmaster**
Laser! Laser! Laser! Laser!
**[19:23] Nerimaki**
Whoa, hold up!
**[19:25] Funifura**
Uh, teachers? Stop!
**[19:27] Yunyun**
You've done enough!
**[19:29] Pucchin**
Dimension Hell Break!
**[19:36] Pucchin**
Burn, burn! The bonfire of
celebration is at hand!
**[19:50] Pucchin**
Our beautiful village...
**[19:53] Headmaster**
After surviving for countless
eons, the final paradise...
**[19:57] Headmaster**
our utopia, once called the
treasure of Dragon's Peak...
**[20:02] Headmaster**
has been reduced to this!
**[20:04] Nerimaki**
This... was our storefront decoration...
**[20:11] Pucchin**
A pox upon the Dark God!
**[20:13] Pucchin**
It's trampled our peaceful, modest lives!
**[20:18] Yunyun**
Uh, I'm pretty sure you all were
the ones mostly responsible...
**[20:22] Headmaster**
At the hands of wicked creatures,
**[20:25] Headmaster**
the sky has been dyed red,
**[20:27] Headmaster**
the earth has been rent asunder,
and the water has turned foul.
**[20:31] Headmaster**
But our Crimson Demon blood cannot
be allowed to die out here!
**[20:35] Headmaster**
This is a trial we must overcome!
**[20:39] Pucchin**
Headmaster...
**[20:59] Funifura**
It's pretty impressive that they were able
**[21:01] Funifura**
to rebuild the village after
a single day, huh, Megumin?
**[21:05] Nerimaki**
But the headmaster and the others
**[21:07] Nerimaki**
got chewed out by the parental association
after what happened, Megumin!
**[21:11] Dodonko**
Of course they did! My mom was complaining
about having to do overnight repairs.
**[21:16] Yunyun**
Is that really the problem?
**[21:18] Dodonko**
Lack of sleep is worse for your
skin than gargoyles, huh, Megumin?
**[21:23] Megumin**
Hold on one minute here.
**[21:26] Megumin**
Why is this black furball
being called Megumin?
**[21:29] Arue**
Well, she's your familiar,
and a fragment of your soul, right?
**[21:33] Nerimaki**
And since she doesn't have a name,
it makes sense to call her Megumin.
**[21:37] Nerimaki**
Right, Megumin?
**[21:38] Megumin**
Please cut that out! Seriously, stop!
**[21:41] Funifura**
What's with you?
**[21:42] Funifura**
Did your alter ego end up taking your
intellect and reason along with your charm?
**[21:47] Dodonko**
Isn't she awful, Megumin?

Big trouble, Megumin!
**[23:26] Yunyun**
That alum, Bukkorori, is being weird
and asking for romantic advice!
**[23:30] Megumin**
Wow, a completely worthless NEET putting
his creepiness on full display!
**[23:33] Yunyun**
That's harsh! Isn't he
like your big brother?
**[23:34] Megumin**
I've never once considered
that thing to be my brother.

So mean! N-Next time,

**[00:13] Yunyun**
Aw, I knew it!
**[00:15] Yunyun**
I guess I lose again today.
**[00:23] Yunyun**
Ow!
**[00:24] Yunyun**
What was that for?!
**[00:25] Yunyun**
You're the one who wanted to compete to see
**[00:28] Yunyun**
who was the more compact,
environmentally-friendly girl, Megumin!
**[00:31] Megumin**
Perhaps you should ask your own
blighted heart that question!
**[00:34] Teacher**
M-Megumin, stress isn't great
for growth, you know.
**[00:39] Teacher**
Oh! You're here, too, Megumin.
**[00:43] Teacher**
One second. I've got something
nice for you to eat.
**[00:46] Arue**
Megumin is as cute as ever today.
**[00:50] Nerimaki**
And Megumin is so fluffy, too.
**[00:53] Teacher**
Okay, here you go.
**[01:02] Yunyun**
Aw, you're such a cutie, Megumin!
**[01:05] Megumin**
Come on!
***SIGN*** KONOSUBA - An Explosion on This Wonderful World!
***SIGN*** Episode 3: Guardians of the Crimson Demon Village
**[02:39] Megumin**
Would someone please give
this thing a name already?!
**[02:43] Yunyun**
I-I get what you mean,
**[02:45] Yunyun**
but we've kind of already got it
in our heads that this is Megumin.
**[02:48] Yunyun**
See? She's even warmed up to me
enough that I can pick her up.
**[02:53] Yunyun**
Maybe it'd be better if you were
the one to change your name inste—
**[02:57] Yunyun**
Ow, ow, ow, ow!
**[02:59] Megumin**
You traitor! You don't care if your
rival's name changes, is that it?!
**[03:03] Yunyun**
Then how about Ink?
Little Ink.... H-How's that sound?
**[03:08] Yunyun**
Because, y'know... she's a black cat.
**[03:15] Yunyun**
No?
**[03:16] Funifura**
Might be a good idea. Weird
names are easier to remember.
**[03:20] Dodonko**
Yeah, as weird as it is.
**[03:21] Yunyun**
I-It's weird?
**[03:23] Megumin**
Well, I suppose this freakish "Ink"
will serve as a label for now.
**[03:28] Megumin**
And should you ever actually
become my familiar,
**[03:31] Megumin**
I'll provide you with a
nicer, more sensible name.
**[03:35] Pucchin**
Attention!
**[03:37] Pucchin**
We've got word that the monsters in
the area are getting ornery again.
**[03:41] Pucchin**
All the adults are going to
be investigating that today,
**[03:43] Pucchin**
so afternoon class will be free
study in the library! That is all!
**[04:01] Funifura**
Study sessions don't earn you any skill points,
so they feel like such a waste of time.
**[04:05] Dodonko**
I can't wait to learn magic.
**[04:07] Dodonko**
Like the adults used the other day.
**[04:12] Nerimaki**
Knowing you, Arue, I bet you have
enough skill points saved up
**[04:15] Nerimaki**
to use advanced magic already.
**[04:17] Arue**
Not quite yet, no.
**[04:19] Arue**
But maybe Megumin...
**[04:24] Megumin**
"Users of explosion magic are
often called 'landmine mages,'
**[04:29] Megumin**
and are frequently excluded
from adventuring parties."
**[04:35] Megumin**
I've come here so many times, and at some
point learned everything there is within.
**[04:46] Megumin**
*The Unfettered Lord*?
**[04:53] Megumin**
Yunyun.
**[04:55] Megumin**
Could you hand that book over to me?
**[04:58] Yunyun**
Well, I don't mind, but I didn't
know you read stuff like this.
**[05:04] Megumin**
*Fish Are Friends*?
**[05:06] Megumin**
This is clearly not what I meant!
**[05:09] Megumin**
I was talking about *The Unfettered Lord*!
**[05:11] Yunyun**
What? You like this series, too?
**[05:13] Yunyun**
It's such a treat!
I've read it so many times!
**[05:17] Yunyun**
Volume two's climax is so—
**[05:18] Megumin**
Cease with the spoilers, please!
**[05:20] Megumin**
And why are you even
looking at the other one?
**[05:23] Megumin**
Was there nothing that
applied to mammals, at least?
**[05:25] Yunyun**
But look here!
**[05:27] Yunyun**
It says that cacti have hearts, too!
**[05:30] Yunyun**
That means you can be friends with plants...
**[05:33] Yunyun**
Cut it out! What did I do
to earn that pitying gaze?!
**[05:37] Megumin**
Honestly... If you're that
desperate for friends,
**[05:41] Megumin**
just take back that claim
of being my rival, and...
**[05:44] Funifura**
Hey, Yunyun, are you reading
those weird books again?
**[05:48] Funifura**
If you want friends that bad, how about us?
**[05:52] Yunyun**
What did you just say?!
**[05:53] Yunyun**
Just now! Say that again?!
**[05:55] Funifura**
Okay, that's close! Too close!
**[05:57] Funifura**
I-I'm just suggesting we could be friends...
**[06:01] Megumin**
If it isn't Funikura and Dodonko.
**[06:03] Megumin**
A friend isn't something
you can just decide to be.
**[06:07] Megumin**
Friendship happens naturally.
**[06:08] Funifura**
My name is Funifura! Would it kill
you to learn your classmates' names?
**[06:12] Yunyun**
I-It's an honor to be joining you!
Please, treat me kindly!
**[06:16] Funifura**
Uh, do you... understand
how friendship works?
**[06:19] Funifura**
You do, don't you?
**[06:23] Funifura**
Anyway, I'm pretty sure this guy is into me.
**[06:27] Funifura**
But the thing is, there's this guy
from my past life that I promised
**[06:32] Funifura**
to be with if we were reborn, right?
**[06:33] Funifura**
So wouldn't that be, like, cheating?
**[06:36] Dodonko**
Oh, it's fine!
**[06:37] Dodonko**
I came up with a scenario
where my prince charming
**[06:40] Dodonko**
is imprisoned at the bottom
of the deepest dungeon...
**[06:42] Dodonko**
Er, I mean, I'm pretty sure he *is* there,
**[06:44] Dodonko**
so I want to learn magic fast
so I can go and save him.
**[06:48] Megumin**
* There is something incredibly*
* cringeworthy about this conversation.*
**[06:52] Yunyun**
I-I had no idea.
**[06:54] Yunyun**
You two are amazing!
**[06:56] Megumin**
*Eh, I'll leave it be.*
**[07:16] Megumin**
You little—
**[07:19] Funifura**
How about you, Yunyun?
**[07:20] Funifura**
Do you have a type—
**[07:22] Funifura**
I mean, what was your lover
like in your past life?
**[07:25] Yunyun**
Me?
**[07:26] Yunyun**
I-I think I'd like someone
quiet and mild-mannered,
**[07:29] Yunyun**
who's nice enough to hear
me out and really listen.
**[07:34] Funifura**
Well, that's bland.
**[07:35] Dodonko**
It really is.
**[07:37] Funifura**
Huh? Where'd the hair tie go?
**[07:44] Megumin**
Need ammo...
**[07:49] Megumin**
Gonna borrow this!
**[08:01] Megumin**
Victory is mine!
**[08:03] Yunyun**
Megumin!
***SIGN*** KONOSUBA - An Explosion on This Wonderful World!
**[08:08] Yunyun**
Were you seriously snapping hair
ties for fun?! Are you a child?!
**[08:11] Megumin**
You've got it all wrong! There was a spider!
**[08:13] Megumin**
He captured my attention with
his taunting, and, well...
**[08:16] Yunyun**
"Well" what?!
**[08:18] Yunyun**
I've never had a friend do my hair before!
**[08:21] Funifura**
L-Look, Megumin does seem sorry,
and we can always do your hair again...
**[08:26] Yunyun**
I'm so sorry, Funifura!
**[08:28] Yunyun**
You did such a wonderful job... I was
ready to never change my hair again...
**[08:32] Funifura**
Th-There's no need for that, seriously!
**[08:35] Funifura**
It's too much! A little too much attachment!
**[08:39] Bukkorori**
You girls seem to be enjoying
your adolescence.
**[08:44] Yunyun**
Bukkorori?
**[08:46] Funifura**
What's the village NEET doing here?
**[08:48] Megumin**
You managed to learn Teleport, then?
**[08:50] Bukkorori**
Indeed!
**[08:51] Bukkorori**
All thanks to you girls leaving me to
struggle with that extreme situation.
**[08:56] Bukkorori**
On that day, something within me awakened...
**[08:59] Nerimaki**
But wait, in terms of
Teleport destinations...
**[09:03] Arue**
Right. You can only register three
readily-available locations.
**[09:07] Funifura**
So why the library?
**[09:09] Bukkorori**
Nostalgia, mostly.
**[09:11] Bukkorori**
I used to subtly check out the books
that I knew Soketto had checked out.
**[09:17] Bukkorori**
She's quite an enthusiastic learner, you see.
**[09:20] Bukkorori**
So in addition to fortune-telling books,
**[09:22] Bukkorori**
she'd read self-improvement,
and romance novels...
**[09:24] Bukkorori**
And a few titles I'd be embarrassed
to mention out loud.
**[09:27] Bukkorori**
But one day, she suddenly
stopped visiting the library.
**[09:32] Bukkorori**
It seems she was heading into the woods to
train every day, so I started doing the same.
**[09:37] Bukkorori**
Oh, but of course, my other Teleport
location is in front of her house!
**[09:41] Bukkorori**
I can't exactly go inside, after all!
**[09:43] Nerimaki**
Wait... So he's a stalker?
**[09:46] Dodonko**
We've gotta tell someone! Report him!
**[09:47] Yunyun**
B-But the adults are all busy
with the investigation...
**[09:51] Bukkorori**
Investigation? What investigation?
No one told me anything.
**[09:55] Bukkorori**
Anyway, I'm here today to
ask you girls for advice—
**[09:59] Arue**
Forget about it, and rest. Eternally.
**[10:01] Nerimaki**
Let's bury him!
**[10:03] Bukkorori**
Now, hang on—
**[10:05] Bukkorori**
Whoa, that's—
**[10:07] Bukkorori**
That's a lot! That's a lot of books!
Too many!
**[10:10] Bukkorori**
I didn't want to get lost
in the stacks like this!
**[10:12] Bukkorori**
Just wait a sec! Hear me out!
**[10:22] Megumin**
I've known Bukkorori since I was little,
**[10:25] Megumin**
and he has always been
worthless to the core.
**[10:27] Yunyun**
Doesn't that make him kind
of like a brother to you?
**[10:32] Yunyun**
Aren't you a little attached?
**[10:34] Megumin**
Not at all, no.
**[10:37] Bukkorori**
My soul sisters...
**[10:51] Bukkorori**
Soketto is as beautiful as ever today.
**[10:54] Bukkorori**
I wish I was trash so that
I could be swept up at her feet.
**[10:57] Megumin**
As a NEET, aren't you
basically trash already?
**[11:00] Yunyun**
M-Megumin!
**[11:01] Megumin**
And to be hung up on the Crimson
Demon's foremost beauty,
**[11:04] Megumin**
when you're nothing but a
completely unremarkable NEET.
**[11:08] Megumin**
We should go. There's no hope here.
**[11:11] Bukkorori**
I'm begging you two!
**[11:13] Bukkorori**
Go and ask Soketto what her type is for me!
**[11:16] Megumin**
She's a fortune-teller! Just have
her read your romantic fortune!
**[11:21] Bukkorori**
Is that some kind of NEETist joke?!
**[11:23] Bukkorori**
If I could afford it, I'd get my
fortune read every damn day!
**[11:26] Bukkorori**
Look, I'll treat you! Next time I get
some cash, I'll treat you to a meal!
**[11:30] Yunyun**
Um, that really isn't the issue...
**[11:33] Megumin**
And you'll treat Komekko, too?
**[11:34] Bukkori**
But of course, my sister!
**[11:36] Yunyun**
Megumin?!
**[11:37] Megumin**
I think the trick is just creating
the initial opportunity.
**[11:57] Megumin**
Listen well.
**[11:58] Megumin**
First, Yunyun, you'll threaten Soketto
**[12:00] Megumin**
with that almost entirely
ornamental dagger of yours.
**[12:04] Megumin**
That's when Bukkorori,
who is coincidentally walking by...
**[12:06] Bukkorori**
...saves her in the nick of time!
**[12:10] Yunyun**
No way! This is stupid! Are you stupid?!
**[12:13] Megumin**
Then the dagger is completely ornamental?
**[12:15] Megumin**
If you're not going to use it, it'll just rust.
**[12:17] Yunyun**
I-I just don't see the need!
**[12:20] Yunyun**
Beating monsters in this area
offers a pretty high bounty,
**[12:23] Yunyun**
so he could use that money to
have her read his fortune...
**[12:26] Megumin/Bukkorori**
Rejected.
**[12:27] Megumin**
As Crimson Demons, we must strive
for the cooler alternative.
**[12:30] Bukkorori**
Bingo.
**[12:34] Bukkorori**
Here.
**[12:38] Bukkorori**
Light of Reflection!
**[12:43] Bukkorori**
Okay, I'm counting on you!
**[12:45] Yunyun**
Why go invisible?!
**[12:46] Megumin**
Obviously so he can save her with
the coolest timing possible.
**[13:01] Megumin**
I-Is that NEET...
**[13:26] Soketto**
What is your problem?!
Day after day, you do this!
**[13:29] Bukkorori**
I-I promise, it wasn't anything untoward!
**[13:32] Bukkorori**
It was genuine intellectual
curiosity, as a mage,
**[13:35] Bukkorori**
to know which colors are popular
among Crimson Demon women!
**[13:38] Megumin**
Bukkorori has something he
wants to tell you, Soketto.
**[13:42] Bukkorori**
Wha—
**[13:42] Soketto**
Really? What a coincidence.
I wanted to tell you something, too.
**[13:49] Bukkorori**
M-Me, too... Soketto, I've always—
**[13:52] Soketto**
I had no idea you hated me so much!
**[13:54] Soketto**
You should've said something sooner!
**[13:57] Soketto**
I don't know what it is
that bothers you so much,
**[14:00] Soketto**
but it's cowardly how you
follow me around everywhere!
**[14:02] Soketto**
And to go so far as to try to ambush me?!
**[14:05] Bukkorori**
N-No! This... It's not what you...
**[14:19] Bukkorori**
One-Punch Bears don't usually travel in packs!
**[14:22] Yunyun**
Th-They said that the monsters
have become more active
**[14:25] Yunyun**
since the seal on the Dark God is weakening!
**[14:28] Megumin**
Now, Yunyun, the time has come for that
stylish dagger of yours to go to work.
**[14:32] Yunyun**
Megumin?!
**[14:33] Soketto**
It's all right.
**[14:35] Soketto**
You two stay behind me.
**[14:38] Bukkorori**
I've got this.
**[14:44] Bukkorori**
I want to protect your smile.
**[14:48] Bukkorori**
Diabolic flames, run wild!
**[14:51] Bukkorori**
Inferno!
**[15:02] Yunyun**
Soketto?!
**[15:05] Megumin**
How stupid can you be?!
**[15:07] Bukkorori**
I mean, I only know advanced magic,
so it's hard to hold back!
**[15:16] Soketto**
Every single day with you...
**[15:20] Soketto**
But this time, it ends.
**[15:28] Soketto**
Honestly...
**[15:30] Soketto**
If you were desperate enough to enter the
woods to earn cash for a fortune-reading,
**[15:34] Soketto**
you could have just told me, and I would've
given you your first session for free.
**[15:37] Bukkorori**
Really?!
**[15:45] Soketto**
Well, I was almost burnt
to death in the process,
**[15:48] Soketto**
but you did technically save
me from a pack of monsters.
**[15:52] Soketto**
So, what did you want to know about?
**[15:55] Bukkorori**
W-Well, I was thinking...
my future girlfriend...
**[15:59] Bukkorori**
No, wife!
**[16:01] Bukkorori**
Or maybe, the person who'll
fall in love with me?
**[16:04] Bukkorori**
Oh, I don't know which to choose!
**[16:07] Soketto**
Your future lover, in other words.
**[16:10] Soketto**
The woman you're likely to end up with
should appear in the crystal ball soon.
**[16:19] Soketto**
It shouldn't be long now...
**[16:27] Bukkorori**
I don't see anything...
**[16:30] Soketto**
H-Huh?
**[16:32] Soketto**
That's odd. Everyone usually has
at least *one* person who appears...
**[16:41] Bukkorori**
Wh-What is this? It hurts way worse
than if she had just rejected me!
**[16:47] Megumin**
I know he's a NEET, but even I feel bad now.
**[16:50] Yunyun**
What should we do?
I wasn't expecting it to be this bad.
**[16:53] Bukkorori**
I can hear you both, y'know!
**[16:54] Bukkorori**
Could you rake my soul over hot coals
somewhere I don't have to hear it?!
**[16:59] Soketto**
I-It's all right!
My fortunes aren't always correct.
**[17:04] Soketto**
I tried to predict the weather
once, when I was little,
**[17:06] Soketto**
and even though I got "mostly cloudy," five
minutes later, there was a slight drizzle...
**[17:10] Bukkorori**
The world sucks!
**[17:19] Soketto**
As much of a failure as he is,
he seems kind of interesting.
**[17:23] Soketto**
It's strange.
**[17:25] Yunyun**
Um...
**[17:27] Soketto**
What is it?
**[17:28] Yunyun**
U-Um, have you ever read your
own fortune, Soketto?
**[17:33] Yunyun**
About your destined mate, for example...
**[17:35] Soketto**
Fortune-tellers can't
predict their own future.
**[17:40] Soketto**
When it comes to my own fate,
the crystal ball won't show anything.
**[17:45] Soketto**
Why do you ask?
**[17:47] Yunyun**
N-No reason.
**[17:48] Yunyun**
I'm just struck by how, sometimes,
you really have to put things into words.
**[17:57] Unmarked ADLibs**
Am I the only one who gets
really hungry right about now?
**[17:59] Unmarked ADLibs**
Tell me about it!
**[18:02] Unmarked ADLibs**
I want something soft to eat...
**[18:04] Unmarked ADLibs**
You need only express how you feel!
**[18:05] Unmarked ADLibs**
Got it!
**[18:06] Yunyun**
Do you think things will work
out for those two someday?
**[18:11] Megumin**
Hard to say. Soketto's fortunes do tend to
come true, but the future is malleable.
**[18:18] Yunyun**
If only he could be honest and
say he wants to get to know her.
**[18:22] Megumin**
I honestly think Bukkorori needs to
find a job before anything else.
**[18:27] Megumin**
He still owes me a meal.
**[18:30] Yunyun**
I've always wanted to ask, Megumin.
Is food really all you want?
**[18:34] Yunyun**
Have you never thought about
finding someone nice?
**[18:38] Megumin**
I have grand ambitions. That doesn't
afford time for romantic tomfoolery.
**[18:43] Yunyun**
But you want to be an adventurer, right?
**[18:46] Yunyun**
If you spend all your time with someone
from your party, helping each other out...
**[18:50] Megumin**
True enough. And I do hear that's
how a lot of marriages come to be.
**[18:55] Megumin**
Whatever the case,
if I were to fall for someone,
**[18:58] Megumin**
I'm sure he'd be a dashing, peerless hero!
**[19:03] Yunyun**
I wouldn't be too surprised if you
ended up with someone normal.
**[19:10] Pucchin**
Attention!
**[19:11] Pucchin**
So, after examining the Dark God's tomb,
**[19:13] Pucchin**
we've learned that lower level monsters
have begun to wander the vicinity!
**[19:16] Pucchin**
Until the seal is fully restored, nobody
walks home alone! Use the buddy system!
**[19:20] Pucchin**
That is all!
**[19:22] Yunyun**
Huh? W-Walking home with someone?
**[19:30] Megumin**
If you insist...
**[19:32] Funifura**
Hey, Yunyun. You're probably
headed home alone, right?
**[19:35] Funifura**
Wanna walk with us?
**[19:36] Dodonko**
You're the only one with a weapon, after all.
I'd feel better knowing you're there.
**[19:54] Yunyun**
M-Megumin!
**[20:01] Megumin**
Weren't you going home with
Funifura and Dodonko?
**[20:05] Yunyun**
W-Well, you know... The monsters!
**[20:08] Yunyun**
It's dangerous to go home alone.
So I thought... w-we could...
**[20:14] Megumin**
Are you serious about protecting
me with that dagger?
**[20:17] Yunyun**
Huh? Oh... Yeah! I am!
**[20:21] Megumin**
I am the foremost prodigy
among the Crimson Demons.
**[20:24] Megumin**
And far more talented than you, Yunyun.
**[20:26] Megumin**
I'd rather you not underestimate me.
**[20:28] Yunyun**
Wh-What's the attitude for?
**[20:29] Yunyun**
You used me as a shield from those
One-Punch Bears the other day!
**[20:41] Megumin**
Very well! It's time I settled
things once and for all
**[20:43] Megumin**
with my self-proclaimed rival, Yunyun!
**[20:46] Yunyun**
S-Self-proclaimed?!
**[20:47] Yunyun**
I mean, I can't deny that...
**[20:49] Yunyun**
Okay, then! You can decide the
contest, as usual, Megumin!
**[21:03] Yunyun**
She scared me. It was just Ink, huh?
**[21:08] Megumin**
She's lost some weight.
**[21:09] Megumin**
I doubt I have to worry about
Komekko trying to eat her anymore.
**[21:21] Megumin**
Yunyun.
**[21:24] Megumin**
Let's walk home together. We can
pick up something to eat on the way.
**[21:31] Yunyun**
R-Really?!
**[21:33] Yunyun**
B-But we're rivals!
**[21:37] Yunyun**
Rivals going home together
would be weird, right?
**[21:39] Yunyun**
B-Besides, you make it sound nice,
but I know you'll just be after my food!
**[21:45] Megumin**
Never mind, then.
**[21:47] Yunyun**
Hey, wait!
**[21:48] Yunyun**
T-Tomorrow! We can resume
the rivalry tomorrow!

Big trouble, Megumin!
**[23:27] Yunyun**
Funifura's little brother is sick!
**[23:29] Yunyun**
There's talk about raising funds for him.
**[23:30] Megumin**
Very well!
**[23:30] Megumin**
Then let's mask up and rob
the local apothecary.
**[23:33] Megumin**
As her friends!

**[00:04] Yunyun**
Good morning, Megumin.
**[00:06] Yunyun**
Here you go.
**[00:07] Megumin**
What is this?
**[00:09] Megumin**
Do you have feelings for me or something?
**[00:11] Megumin**
It's a little unsettling to suddenly
have you lovingly prepare my lunch...
**[00:16] Yunyun**
I'm not going to challenge you today,
so I don't want you bugging me!
**[00:20] Megumin**
You make it sound like I'm some ruffian
who's always mugging you for your lunch.
**[00:24] Yunyun**
I know I'm the one who always
instigates the duels,
**[00:27] Yunyun**
but you *are* kind of a ruffian.
**[00:37] Pucchin**
Good morning, people.
**[00:41] Megumin**
* Something about Yunyun*
* seems strange lately.*
**[00:44] Pucchin**
Monsters believed to be minions of the Dark
God have been spotted around the village.
**[00:51] Pucchin**
Which means we can no longer
afford to take this lightly.
**[00:56] Pucchin**
That being the case,
impromptu though it might be,
**[00:59] Pucchin**
the plan is to gather enough
villagers to redo the seal.
**[01:03] Pucchin**
The ritual will last from tomorrow
evening until the morning after.
**[01:07] Pucchin**
All right, let's go over
the results of your tests.
**[01:11] Pucchin**
As usual, our top three scorers will
receive these skill-up potions.
**[01:15] Pucchin**
In third place is Nerimaki!
**[01:22] Megumin**
* Four points until I can learn explosion*
* magic, as I've long dreamed!*
**[01:27] Pucchin**
Second place, Arue.
**[01:30] Pucchin**
First place, Megumin!
**[01:33] Pucchin**
Well done, girls.
**[01:35] Pucchin**
First period is going to
be equipment crafting.
**[01:38] Pucchin**
Head over to the home economics room!
**[01:51] Yunyun**
Would you say something?!
This is really awkward!
**[01:54] Megumin**
What's gotten into you?
**[01:56] Megumin**
I can't believe you weren't in the top three.
**[01:59] Megumin**
If I remember correctly, you needed
three points to learn advanced magic.
**[02:04] Megumin**
And I need four...
**[02:06] Megumin**
Is this fine by you?
**[02:07] Megumin**
Wasting the lead that would give you
the chance to graduate before me?
**[02:11] Megumin**
Look, look here!
**[02:12] Yunyun**
I'm not trying to compete. Not today.
**[02:18] Megumin**
I see.
**[02:25] Megumin**
* Something is definitely*
* off about Yunyun lately.*

**[04:00] Unmarked BG Adlib**
Seriously, it was the craziest thing!
**[04:03] Funifura**
Hey! I heard that there's a
Hero candidate in the village!
**[04:07] Dodonko**
Oh, I heard about that!
**[04:09] Dodonko**
To be more specific,
*I* actually met him yesterday!
**[04:12] Dodonko**
He was hot, and pretty friendly!
**[04:14] Dodonko**
And he's looking for a skilled mage
to help defeat the Devil King!
**[04:18] Megumin**
Anyone in the position to be named a
Hero must be a quality human being.
**[04:23] Megumin**
The kind who would show
up in the heroic annals!
**[04:27] Megumin**
* One day, I'll be the kind of mage that can*
* join the party of a hero candidate...*
**[04:33] Megumin**
* A group that can overcome*
* any kind of threat,*
**[04:36] Megumin**
* who would never resort to cowardly*
* tricks or cheap chicanery!*
**[04:39] Megumin**
*Rising head-first to every challenge!*
**[04:42] Megumin**
*And with my magic,*
**[04:44] Megumin**
* I will obliterate the Devil King's generals*
* or anyone else who stands in our way,*
**[04:47] Megumin**
*as my name echoes across the entire world!*
**[04:54] Megumin**
*And once the Devil King has been slain,*
**[04:58] Megumin**
* I will ascend to the throne as*
* the new Devil King... Megumin!*
**[05:06] Yunyun**
Megumin? Megumin!
**[05:10] Yunyun**
What was that? You suddenly
started cackling. You okay?
**[05:14] Megumin**
I was so absorbed in important thoughts
that I wasn't paying attention.
**[05:17] Megumin**
Do you need something?
**[05:19] Yunyun**
Well... I wanted to talk to you
about something on the way home.
**[05:35] Yunyun**
So, Megumin...
**[05:38] Yunyun**
What do you think it means... to be friends?
**[05:45] Megumin**
I've always known you had issues, Yunyun,
**[05:48] Megumin**
but I didn't think you had
no idea what friends were...
**[05:52] Yunyun**
I know! I know what they are!
**[05:54] Yunyun**
You go shopping together, and have fun...
**[05:57] Yunyun**
Wait, no, that's not what I'm talking about!
**[06:01] Yunyun**
For example, you always try
to sponge off me, right?
**[06:04] Yunyun**
But you never try to get money.
**[06:07] Megumin**
Of course not. I realize there are
some lines that shouldn't be crossed.
**[06:11] Megumin**
Not to mention I'd hate for you
**[06:13] Megumin**
to start making *physical* demands
in exchange for money.
**[06:15] Yunyun**
I would do no such thing!
**[06:17] Yunyun**
And to be honest, I thought that
was the case. But Funifura-san...
**[06:22] Megumin**
She asked for money?
**[06:25] Yunyun**
No! It's not like that!
**[06:28] Yunyun**
It's just...
**[06:30] (Flashback) Dodonko**
And that's basically it.
Funifura's cute little brother is sick.
**[06:36] (Flashback) Dodonko**
But...
**[06:37] (Flashback) Funifura**
Yeah. The thing is, we don't really
have enough money for the medicine...
**[06:43] (Flashback) Dodonko**
So I thought, as her friends,
we should try and help!
**[06:47] (Flashback) Dodonko**
So I was thinking we could
raise money for her!
**[06:51] (Flashback) Dodonko**
We can count on you, too, right,
Yunyun? Our friend needs us!
**[06:56] Yunyun**
But something about giving them
money feels rude somehow...
**[07:01] Yunyun**
I'm just not sure what to do.
**[07:03] Yunyun**
What do you think, Megumin?
**[07:05] Megumin**
Given that I never have money
as a fundamental principle...
**[07:10] Megumin**
I'd think of some other way to contribute.
**[07:13] Yunyun**
Like what?
**[07:14] Megumin**
For instance...
**[07:16] Megumin**
My friend and I could wear masks
and then raid an apothecary.
**[07:20] Yunyun**
Wouldn't just loaning the money
be less problematic than that?
**[07:25] Megumin**
True friends don't simply offer charity!
**[07:28] Megumin**
They endure trials together!
**[07:31] Yunyun**
So you're saying, if you were really hungry,
**[07:34] Yunyun**
you'd rather someone else starve with you
instead of them sharing their food?
**[07:38] Megumin**
No. Not even close.
**[07:40] Megumin**
But, well, if a friend was truly in grave need,
**[07:44] Megumin**
I don't think it's out of the
question to loan them some money.
**[07:47] Megumin**
Granted, I am in perpetual
grave need, myself.
**[07:49] Yunyun**
Trying to subtly get that across, huh?
**[07:54] Yunyun**
But I get what you mean. Thanks.
**[07:59] Megumin**
It's fine.
**[08:03] Bukkorori**
Hey, Megumin, Yunyun.
**[08:07] Megumin**
Why, if it isn't Bukkorori, who's still sulking
over having been rejected by Soketto.
**[08:11] Yunyun**
Shh!
**[08:12] Bukkorori**
Don't "shh" so loudly. It's honestly more
painful to see you try to avoid the subject.
**[08:16] Bukkorori**
Besides, I never told her how I felt,
so I didn't get rejected!
**[08:20] Yunyun**
That's an optimistic approach.
**[08:21] Bukkorori**
Honestly, the entire world
is waiting for my awakening,
**[08:24] Bukkorori**
so I shouldn't be hung up over romance.
**[08:27] Megumin**
You mean the thing about
the Dark God's minions?
**[08:29] Bukkorori**
Yep.
**[08:29] Megumin**
Wouldn't it be easier at this
point to break the seal,
**[08:33] Megumin**
and then have the entire village
fight together to slay it?
**[08:36] Bukkorori**
That idea did come up.
**[08:38] Bukkorori**
But seeing as our ancestors went to the trouble
of nabbing a Dark God from another region
**[08:42] Bukkorori**
before transplanting it here
and sealing it away...
**[08:46] Yunyun**
Wait. Why would they do that?
**[08:48] Bukkorori**
What do you mean, "why"?
**[08:50] Bukkorori**
Doesn't the idea of a village with a
Dark God sleeping beneath it sound cool?
**[08:53] Megumin**
That should be obvious!
**[08:55] Bukkorori**
There's other stuff, too, like ancient
weapons that could destroy the world...
**[08:59] Bukkorori**
And the goddess of vengeance and domination
whose name has been forgotten.
**[09:03] Bukkorori**
All kinds of sweet forbidden junk!
**[09:04] Megumin**
As much trouble as they might cause,
**[09:07] Megumin**
I have to admit forbidden weapons
are quite the fascinating subject.
**[09:10] Bukkorori**
Tell me about it!
**[09:11] Yunyun**
Huh? You think so? So am I the only one who...
**[09:17] MeguBukko**
...doesn't get it.
**[09:27] Megumin**
Komekko! I'm heading out.
**[09:29] Komekko**
Have a good day!
**[09:30] Megumin**
Be a good girl and watch the house, all right?
**[09:33] Komekko**
'Kay!
**[09:54] Funifura**
I really appreciate this, Yunyun.
And I'll be sure to pay you back.
**[09:59] Yunyun**
Oh, come on, it's fine!
We're f-friends, right?
**[10:02] Dodonko**
Class is starting.
**[10:04] Funifura**
You can go on ahead, Yunyun.
**[10:06] Yunyun**
O-Okay.
**[10:12] Funifura**
My conscience is bothering me a little...
**[10:14] Dodonko**
Yeah, I hear you.
**[10:17] Megumin**
Then why ask for money in the first place?
**[10:21] Dodonko**
Megumin! How long have you been there?
**[10:23] Funifura**
How much did you hear?
**[10:24] Megumin**
Starting around where you extorted her
to submit to your perverted demands
**[10:27] Megumin**
in exchange for keeping
her dangerous secrets.
**[10:30] Funifura**
That's not what happened!
**[10:32] Funifura**
Look, my brother is sick,
and we can't afford his medicine...
**[10:36] Dodonko**
It's just a bit of fund-raising.
**[10:39] Megumin**
Why not ask for my help, then?
**[10:43] Megumin**
What? Are you that shocked at the
idea I'd be willing to help others?
**[10:48] Funfiura**
It's just... y'know...
you're super poor, right?
**[10:52] Dodonko**
Borrowing money from you
is just a shade too far.
**[10:56] Megumin**
You're dead!
**[10:58] Funifura**
W-Well, then, do you have money to loan me?!
**[11:02] Megumin**
Obviously I don't. Who in the world
do you think you're talking to?
**[11:05] FuniDonko**
This girl...
**[11:07] Megumin**
It's just a matter of
securing medication, yes?
**[11:10] Dodonko**
Do you have something in mind?
**[11:14] Megumin**
A simple matter for the Crimson
Demons' foremost prodigy!
**[11:20] Pucchin**
All right, time to begin magical
item crafting class.
**[11:24] Pucchin**
You're free to improvise on the ingredients,
but I want to see some potions.
**[11:36] Megumin**
Behold my sorcerous craftsmanship!
**[11:44] Arue**
That looks interesting. I'd like to help.
**[11:47] Megumin**
Did you finish already, Arue?
**[11:49] Arue**
I did.
**[11:50] Megumin**
I'd appreciate the help, then.
**[12:00] Yunyun**
I won't let you!
**[12:01] Megumin**
Would you get out of the way?
**[12:03] Yunyun**
But the duxion is so cute!
**[12:05] Megumin**
Cute as it is, it's still a monster.
**[12:08] Megumin**
Do you realize how many harmless-looking
monsters are actually quite dangerous?
**[12:13] Yunyun**
I know, but...
**[12:16] Arue**
Calm down, now. All we really
need is the onion on its back.
**[12:20] Megumin**
Feeling better now?
**[12:23] Arue**
Onions are supposed to help with healing.
**[12:25] Arue**
And the onions from duxions are
supposed to be of the finest quality.
**[12:35] Megumin**
Honestly, what kind of
monster do you think I am?
**[12:39] Megumin**
Even I can appreciate the
preciousness of cute life.
**[12:42] Yunyun**
I-I guess so. Sorry.
**[12:45] Yunyun**
It's just, duxions are rare monsters
that offer a lot of experience...
**[12:50] Arue**
On top of being prized in gourmet cuisine.
**[13:00] Yunyun**
Megumin, you jerk!
**[13:07] Funifura**
What do you want with us
now, duxion slayer?
**[13:11] Megumin**
Call me that again and you'll
see just how much I can slay.
**[13:14] Dodonko**
Yunyun was sulking all day after
what you pulled earlier.
**[13:18] Megumin**
The two of you were the root cause
of all this in the first place.
**[13:22] Megumin**
A hand-made potion for treating illness.
**[13:26] Megumin**
Go on, take it.
**[13:31] Megumin**
This means you no longer need the
money you borrowed from Yunyun, yes?
**[13:34] Funifura**
H-Hang on a sec! There's no
guarantee that this'll work...
**[13:38] Megumin**
Doesn't matter.
**[13:39] Megumin**
Frankly, I don't even care whether
your little brother is sick or not.
**[13:43] Dodonko**
We weren't lying!
**[13:45] Megumin**
The thing I take exception to is
exploiting the conscience of a lonely girl
**[13:49] Megumin**
who's desperate for friends.
**[13:52] Megumin**
Her intelligence is second only to my own.
**[13:55] Megumin**
She is fully aware of what you were doing.
**[13:58] Dodonko**
Don't get mad for real. You're scary.
**[14:01] Funifura**
Here, you can have the money back.
**[14:06] Megumin**
Please don't take advantage of her
good nature and naiveté ever again.
**[14:11] Dodonko**
Wow, you must really like Yunyun.
**[14:14] Megumin**
You seem to have misunderstood me.
**[14:17] Megumin**
It's not like Yunyun and I are friends.
**[14:19] Funifura**
Yeah, yeah, whatever.
**[14:21] Dodonko**
If you're that desperate not to be seen as
friends, then what exactly is the deal?
**[14:26] Megumin**
I'm not sure how to describe it.
I suppose rivalry?
**[14:30] Funifura**
Well, anyone else would think you
two are pretty into each other.
**[14:34] Dodonko**
Megumin, your eyes are glowing again.
**[14:38] Dodonko**
Crimson Demons having a tell that shows
our true feelings can be such a drag, huh?
**[14:43] Funifura**
Look, we'll leave it at that for today,
but don't get too big-headed, you hear?
**[14:51] Dodonko**
What?!
**[14:52] Funifura**
Come on, that's a classic
conversation-ender! Get a clue!
***SIGN*** KONOSUBA - An Explosion on This Wonderful World!
**[14:55] Funifura**
Duxion!
**[15:06] Yunyun**
You left Inky all alone. Where did you go?
**[15:12] Yunyun**
Isn't this...
**[15:15] Yunyun**
Wait, that potion...
Did you give it to them so—
**[15:19] Megumin**
In what world would a pragmatist like
myself engage in such philanthropy?
**[15:25] Yunyun**
That's a very convincing argument.
**[15:36] Yunyun**
Megumin, I was waiting for you!
Don't leave without me.
**[15:41] Yunyun**
I'll treat you to something,
to show my thanks.
**[15:50] Yunyun**
I-I know I said it was my treat...
**[15:52] Yunyun**
I realize that, but...
**[15:54] Torosuke**
Slide...
**[15:56] Torosuke**
I am called Torosuke!
**[15:58] Torosuke**
Foremost pancake chef among Crimson Demons,
**[16:01] Torosuke**
and he who would open a
franchise with 500 locations!
**[16:04] Torosuke**
Now that is quite an appetite!
**[16:06] Torosuke**
It pleases me to see you enjoy it so much!
A classy merçi to you, young lady!
**[16:09] Megumin**
It's more that... I believe in getting
your fill when the opportunity presents.
**[16:17] Megumin**
Can we take a little break?
**[16:23] Megumin**
One more skill-up potion,
and I'll be ready to graduate.
**[16:27] Yunyun**
Huh? Megumin, I thought yesterday's potion left
you with three points to go, the same as me...
**[16:33] Yunyun**
Wait, the duxion from this morning!
**[16:35] Megumin**
With which I gained a level,
and earned two skill points!
**[16:40] Yunyun**
A-Aw, no...
**[16:42] Yunyun**
I wanted us to graduate together.
**[16:45] Yunyun**
That's why I was trying to
match your skill points...
**[16:49] Megumin**
You were adjusting your points so
that we could graduate together?
**[16:53] Megumin**
Then you intentionally didn't
score in the top three on the test?!
**[16:57] Megumin**
How could you be so stupid?!
**[17:00] Megumin**
If you wanted to graduate together,
**[17:02] Megumin**
you could have just learned magic
to use up the extra skill points!
**[17:05] Megumin**
But you were so dead-set on
learning advanced magic first,
**[17:08] Megumin**
yet unable to just admit you
wanted to graduate together!
**[17:11] Megumin**
Just how awkward are you to
even try something like this?!
**[17:14] Yunyun**
I-I mean, you're always so smug
about being better than me,
**[17:18] Yunyun**
so if I were to pass you suddenly...
**[17:20] Megumin**
Did you just suggest you've surpassed me?!
**[17:22] Megumin**
You've done no such thing! At all!
**[17:24] Megumin**
Let me make something quite clear:
**[17:26] Megumin**
I have long since earned enough
points to learn advanced magic!
**[17:30] Megumin**
But I have no intention of doing that!
**[17:32] Megumin**
I will be learning a far more
powerful, surefire form of magic!
**[17:39] Yunyun**
Powerful, surefire magic?
Are you talking about explosion magic?
**[17:44] Megumin**
That's right.
**[17:45] Yunyun**
You were serious about that?
**[17:46] Megumin**
And what if I was?
**[17:48] Yunyun**
You're calling me stupid?
**[17:50] Yunyun**
Even if you learn it, most people don't have
enough magical power to actually cast it!
**[17:54] Yunyun**
And even when they can, the most they can
manage is once a day! That's why it's joke magic!
**[17:58] Yunyun**
I know they say genius and madness are closely
related, but are you really that crazy?!
**[18:01] Megumin**
Any more insults, Yunyun, and don't
expect the mercy I normally afford you.
**[18:06] Megumin**
Believe me, I'm fully aware of the risks.
**[18:08] Megumin**
I know more about explosion
magic than anyone.
**[18:12] Megumin**
And yet, I persist.
**[18:14] Yunyun**
But why?
**[18:16] Megumin**
Because I love it, of course.
**[18:18] Yunyun**
I really do think you're crazy,
and not a genius, Megumin.
**[18:21] Megumin**
I warned you!
**[18:30] Yunyun**
I won! I beat Megumin for the first time!
**[18:33] Megumin**
Well, I wasn't being serious, after all.
**[18:37] Megumin**
And with the moon not being
out, my power is weakened.
**[18:39] Yunyun**
You're not a literal demon!
Just admit that you lost for once!
**[18:45] Megumin**
Fine, I lose. Now, let me up.
**[18:52] Megumin**
Still, given how stuffed I was,
**[18:55] Megumin**
It's only natural I could only
use half of my full strength.
**[18:58] Yunyun**
No fair making excuses after I let you up!
**[19:03] Yunyun**
Come on... Are you really that obsessed with
explosion magic just because you like it?
**[19:10] Yunyun**
Isn't there some other reason?
**[19:14] Megumin**
If you must know, when I was younger,
I was attacked by a magic beast.
**[19:20] (Flashback) Wolbach**
Rest, cloaked by the smoke of supremacy.
**[19:24] (Flashback) Wolbach**
Explosion!
**[19:26] Megumin**
A mage who was passing by slew the beast...
**[19:31] Megumin**
with explosion magic. And the destruction
it caused... The overwhelming violence...
**[19:36] Megumin**
The unassailable power...
It was absolutely breathtaking.
**[19:41] Megumin**
Befitting of being known
as the ultimate magic.
**[19:44] Megumin**
Ever since that moment, I've had
no interest in other magic.
**[19:49] Megumin**
Once I learn it, I intend to seek
that mage out and ask her...
**[19:54] Megumin**
"What do you think of the
explosion magic you taught me?"
**[20:02] Megumin**
That being said, I'm sure you're glad to
have won once before I leave on my journey.
**[20:07] Yunyun**
You're leaving once you graduate?
**[20:09] Megumin**
Yes.
**[20:10] Yunyun**
Is there anyone you're going to travel with?
**[20:14] Yunyun**
Your magic power should be
enough to use explosion magic,
**[20:17] Yunyun**
but you'd be helpless after using it.
You need someone to look after you.
**[20:21] Megumin**
One thing we have in common is that
I obviously have no such help.
**[20:24] Yunyun**
Why do you sound so proud of that?
**[20:26] Yunyun**
And it's not like you're
leaving right away, right?!
**[20:29] Megumin**
Well, I can't leave my
sister unaccounted for,
**[20:32] Megumin**
so I'll be working around
the village for a while.
**[20:34] Megumin**
What about you, Yunyun?
**[20:37] Yunyun**
I'm going to be chief one day, so...
**[20:41] Yunyun**
I want to try and learn a lot of
different things before then.
**[20:45] Yunyun**
I still need your help from time
to time now, but one day...
**[20:56] Yunyun**
I want to be strong enough to help
the helpless, like that duxion.
**[21:00] Yunyun**
Wait, why's there a duxion out here?
**[21:08] Megumin**
"Megumin found tonight's dinner!"
**[21:13] Yunyun**
Megumin, you jerk!
**[21:27] Yunyun**
Megumin...
**[21:28] Megumin**
Wasn't the Dark God supposed
to have been resealed?
**[21:32] Megumin**
Come with me, please!
**[21:53] Megumin**
Komekko...

Big trouble, Megumin!

A swarm of monsters is after little Inky!

She's done for. We have to leave her behind.

Don't give up so fast!

What's become of my sister?!

**[00:00] Komekko**
* It all started when I went to*
* where I usually go to play...*
**[00:04] Komekko**
*I found something.*
**[00:15] (Flashback) Komekko**
That's one big goblin!
**[00:19] (Flashback) Host**
Listen up, kid. Don't mix me
up with some damned goblins.
**[00:23] (Flashback) Komekko**
My name's not "kid"! It's Komekko.
**[00:26] (Flashback) Komekko**
Whatcha doing, Mr. Not-Goblin?
**[00:28] (Flashback) Host**
Mr. Not-Goblin?
**[00:31] (Flashback) Host**
All right, runt, I'm the Dark God Wolbach's
right-hand man, the high-level demon, Host!
**[00:38] (Flashback) Host**
Remember the name.
**[00:40] (Flashback) Komekko**
So cool!
**[00:41] (Flashback) Host**
Y-Yeah? You think so?
**[00:44] (Flashback) Host**
I like the cut of your jib, kid.
**[00:47] (Flashback) Komekko**
Thank you very much!
**[00:51] (Flashback) Host**
Watch it there. I need that to undo
the seal on Lady Wolbach's... eh?
**[00:58] (Flashback) Host**
Whoa, are you kidding me?
**[01:01] (Flashback) Komekko**
Here!
**[01:06] (Flashback) Host**
Hell yeah!
**[01:14] (Flashback) Host**
Hey, Komekko. Good to see you again.
**[01:17] (Flashback) Host**
Did you bring what I asked for?
**[01:19] (Flashback) Komekko**
Yep! Here's the offering.
**[01:20] (Flashback) Host**
Nice! Well done. I knew you had it in you.
**[01:27] (Flashback) Host**
What the hell is this?
**[01:28] (Flashback) Komekko**
Sacrificial chicken, egg, and rice!
**[01:31] (Flashback) Komekko**
I got it from that stalker guy.
**[01:35] (Flashback) Bukkorori**
Wait!
**[01:38] (Flashback) Host**
Stupid! There's no way you
can break a seal with a lunch.
**[01:43] (Flashback) Host**
It's gotta follow the inscription:
you need a hen and its chick!
**[01:50] (Flashback) Host**
Maybe I'm better off grabbing it myself...
**[02:18] (Flashback) Megumin**
I'm home!
**[02:20] (Flashback) Komekko**
Welcome home, Sis!
**[02:22] (Flashback) Megumin**
You caught something?
**[02:25] (Flashback) Komekko**
Yep! A big one.
**[02:26] (Flashback) Komekko**
Look! A fierce ebon beast that I
felled after a battle to the death!
**[02:31] (Flashback) Komekko**
Wanna eat it?

**[02:46] Megumin**
Ko... Komekko!
**[02:55] Megumin**
K-K-K-K-K-K-K-Kome... Komekko is...!
**[02:59] Yunyun**
M-M-M-M-Megumin, calm down!
**[03:00] Yunyun**
Just c-c-calm down for a sec!
**[03:02] Megumin**
There is no way that my sister,
**[03:05] Megumin**
clever and tough as she is,
became a monster's meal that easily!
**[03:09] Megumin**
Komekko!
**[03:17] Megumin**
Sh-She's done for. We should give up.
**[03:21] Megumin**
We'll need to make a grave for her so that
her noble sacrifice is never forgotten.
**[03:26] Megumin**
Don't worry. She'll never truly be gone.
**[03:30] Megumin**
Yes, she'll live on inside my heart forever.
**[03:33] Yunyun**
She's still alive!
**[03:35] Yunyun**
Open your eyes a sec!
Because she's still alive!
**[03:37] Yunyun**
Aren't you giving up a little too soon?!
**[03:39] Megumin**
I'm not sure what's going on,
but this is our chance!
**[03:42] Megumin**
We should escape from
here and find my sister!
**[03:44] Yunyun**
Hang on!
**[03:44] Yunyun**
Please, can we at least try and save Inky?!
**[03:47] Megumin**
At a time like this?!
Are you kidding me?!
**[03:50] Yunyun**
Megumin!
**[03:55] Megumin**
Oh, of all the annoying...
**[03:57] Megumin**
Hey!
**[03:59] Megumin**
Take that cat and incur the
wrath of my little sister,
**[04:02] Megumin**
who's waiting for it to get
some meat on its bones.
**[04:05] Megumin**
Now, you bear witness to
my projectile combat!
**[04:18] Megumin**
I didn't anticipate that they would
have a shield of wind around them...
**[04:21] Yunyun**
They don't! That was pretty clearly
just you having lousy throw control!
**[04:31] Yunyun**
Inky!
**[04:37] Megumin**
She must have been a
servant from the heavens.
**[04:40] Megumin**
She's simply returned from whence she came.
**[04:43] Megumin**
That's why we shouldn't cry,
but instead, bid her a warm farewell.
**[04:46] Yunyun**
Please don't make up weird
justifications for abandoning Inky!
**[04:50] Yunyun**
What are we gonna do now?
**[04:52] Megumin**
We'll address the missing Ink later.
**[04:55] Megumin**
Komekko is the priority here.
**[04:57] Megumin**
Despite how she might seem,
my little sister is made of hardy stuff,
**[05:00] Megumin**
and she has a good head on her shoulders.
**[05:03] Megumin**
I'm sure she's out there somewhere.
**[05:05] Yunyun**
Y-You're right...
**[05:06] Yunyun**
Can you think of anywhere she might go?
**[05:10] Megumin**
Places she'd go...
**[05:14] (Flashback) Komekko**
I found a toy, too,
so I've been playing with it!
**[05:17] (Flashback) Komekko**
You wanna try?
**[05:18] (Flashback) Megumin**
A toy?
**[05:20] Megumin**
I figured it out!
**[05:21] Megumin**
I hate that I have, but I did!
**[05:30] Yunyun**
Come on, Megumin, she can't possibly have...
**[05:33] Komekko**
Gimme my food back!
**[05:41] Yunyun**
How in the world did this happen?
**[05:43] Yunyun**
What do you think Komekko is doing?
**[05:46] Megumin**
I think she's trying to take Ink back.
**[05:49] Megumin**
I believe that's a threatening posture.
**[05:56] Yunyun**
I don't know where to start here!
**[05:59] Yunyun**
She's picking a fight
with a pack of monsters!
**[06:01] Yunyun**
And she's not even a little afraid!
If anything, they seem scared of her!
**[06:06] Megumin**
* It seems my little sister may,*
* in fact, be a big deal.*
**[06:10] Yunyun**
Come on, Megumin!
**[06:11] Megumin**
There's no time.
**[06:13] Megumin**
I had hoped to avoid
resorting to this, but...
**[06:18] Yunyun**
Your adventurer card?
**[06:23] Megumin**
* A-A genius of my caliber should be*
* able to hunt monsters with ease,*
**[06:28] Megumin**
*earning enough points again in no time.*
**[06:31] Megumin**
*No matter how long it takes...*
**[06:33] Megumin**
*Even if it takes decades...*
**[06:36] Megumin**
*I can still learn explosion magic!*
**[06:40] Megumin**
*It's fine... I can just start over...*
**[06:44] Yunyun**
You're shaking, you know.
**[06:49] Yunyun**
Having a hard time letting go, right?
**[06:59] Yunyun**
Lightning!
**[07:04] Megumin**
Komekko!
**[07:05] Megumin**
Yunyun?
**[07:06] Yunyun**
I'll save Inky, too!
**[07:08] Yunyun**
Hurry and find the adults!
**[07:18] Komekko**
Yunyun was pretty great back there, huh?
**[07:20] Komekko**
That lightning was like "whammo"!
**[07:22] Megumin**
Indeed she was.
**[07:23] Megumin**
Very impressive.
**[07:24] Megumin**
Although it bothers me how I've
been surpassed by Yunyun.
**[07:29] Megumin**
I'm so used to the sight of her cowering...
**[07:33] Megumin**
*Lightning is intermediate magic.*
**[07:36] Megumin**
*And now Yunyun has learned it.*
**[07:38] Megumin**
*She'll graduate school now.*
**[07:40] Megumin**
* Which means she no longer has a source*
* of valuable skill-up potions.*
**[07:45] Megumin**
*For her to learn advanced magic, from now on,*
**[07:49] Megumin**
* she'll have to engage in combat*
* against monsters to level up.*
**[07:54] Megumin**
*My rival is going to be treated like*
**[07:56] Megumin**
* an intermediate-skilled underachiever*
* in the foreseeable future,*
**[07:59] Megumin**
* in spite of her diligence as the chief's*
* daughter, and all of her academic excellence.*
**[08:07] Komekko**
Sis? Are you crying?
**[08:10] Megumin**
I am not! I'm just so angry that my
magic power is flowing from my eyes!
**[08:17] Komekko**
What's up, Sis? You tired of running?
**[08:23] Megumin**
Komekko, do you love your big sister?
**[08:26] Komekko**
Yeah!
**[08:29] Megumin**
Even if I can't learn the ultimate magic?
**[08:32] Megumin**
Even if I can't be the
strongest big sister ever?
**[08:34] Komekko**
I can become the strongest
instead, so it's okay!
**[08:42] Megumin**
Listen closely! You need to stay
at my side the whole time!
**[08:46] Komekko**
Got it!
**[08:47] Megumin**
Do not go after the monsters
who've caught Ink!
**[08:50] Megumin**
I'll make sure to get her back!
**[08:53] Megumin**
Understood?
**[08:54] Komekko**
Got it!
**[08:56] Komekko**
I'll try my best.
**[08:57] Megumin**
You can't just try!
**[08:58] Megumin**
You have to promise not to go after them!
**[09:01] Komekko**
Got it!
**[09:10] Yunyun**
Blade of Wind!
**[09:16] Yunyun**
Inky!
**[09:20] Megumin**
Well, this is no good.
**[09:23] Megumin**
It looks like Yunyun can
handle them all by herself.
**[09:26] Komekko**
Is that a bad thing?
**[09:28] Megumin**
It is! It'd make a total waste of the
resolve I gathered to turn around...
**[09:38] Megumin**
Okay! Now I can pay her back!
**[09:42] Komekko**
I am called Komekko!
**[09:44] Komekko**
Watcher of the house, and the Crimson
Demon's foremost lovable li'l sis!
**[09:49] Yunyun**
Komekko?!
**[09:51] Megumin**
Komekko!
**[09:52] Megumin**
Wh-What is wrong with you?!
**[09:54] Megumin**
Did you seriously just try to steal your
sister's brightest spotlight ever?!
**[09:58] Komekko**
I'm not sorry!
**[09:59] Megumin**
K-Komekko...
**[10:00] Yunyun**
What are you two even doing
here? I thought you ran!
**[10:06] Megumin**
It should be obvious that I would never
flee in debt to my self-proclaimed rival.
**[10:11] Yunyun**
Could you please put less emphasis
on the "self-proclaimed" part?!
**[10:14] Yunyun**
Besides, I'm already a real mage
who's learned real magic!
**[10:19] Yunyun**
Lightning!
**[10:22] Yunyun**
I'm not a pending-in-parentheses
mage like you!
**[10:25] Megumin**
Pending-in-parentheses?!
**[10:26] Yunyun**
Blade of Wind!
**[10:28] Megumin**
A bold statement from someone
using intermediate magic!
**[10:31] Yunyun**
Don't say that! It makes me sound
like a failure of a Crimson Demon!
**[10:36] Yunyun**
Fireball!
**[10:44] Yunyun**
Now you won't need to learn magic, Megumin.
**[10:50] Megumin**
This girl is unbelievable.
**[11:02] Megumin**
Didn't you lecture me about
not learning explosion magic?
**[11:07] Megumin**
What made you change your mind?
**[11:10] Yunyun**
I-I haven't, exactly.
**[11:14] Yunyun**
I still don't think learning
explosion magic is a good idea,
**[11:17] Yunyun**
but giving up on your dream because
of this mess would be a little sad...
**[11:22] Komekko**
Hey, you're alive, ebon magical beast!
**[11:22] Yunyun**
B-Besides, you're in my debt since I
learned intermediate magic to save you!
**[11:25] Komekko**
They hurt you?
**[11:26] Yunyun**
It'd be a waste if you
paid me back right away.
**[11:26] Komekko**
This proves you survived the
deathmatch for a reason!
**[11:28] Yunyun**
You've never owed me one before.
**[11:31] Megumin**
I'm pretty sure any debts
I've incurred will be squared
**[11:34] Megumin**
after I haul your immobile self back home.
**[11:38] Yunyun**
Come on, Megumin! I learned
intermediate magic to help you!
**[11:41] Yunyun**
Calling it even after something
like that is no fair!
**[11:44] Megumin**
Never satisfied, are you?
**[11:46] Megumin**
I could leave you here, at the mercy
of whatever other monsters come by.
**[11:50] Megumin**
By helping you avoid that fate, I do
believe I've saved your life, Yunyun.
**[11:55] Yunyun**
You're just twisting things to suit you!
**[11:57] Yunyun**
I risked my life to stand up
to those monsters, but you...
**[12:01] Komekko**
Sis!
**[12:08] Yunyun**
What? Why are there so many?!
**[12:13] Megumin**
Could it be they're attracted
to my immense magical power?
**[12:20] Yunyun**
I get it.
**[12:21] Yunyun**
The adults and our teachers
are herding them this way.
**[12:25] Yunyun**
Once they're all in one place,
they'll blow them all away.
**[12:28] Yunyun**
There's no one around here, so they can let
loose with really powerful advanced magic.
**[12:33] Megumin**
But we're here!
**[12:35] Yunyun**
They don't know that.
**[12:39] Megumin**
Yunyun, this is your big chance
to say that famous line.
**[12:44] Megumin**
"Leave me behind, and go on ahead."
**[12:46] Megumin**
I won't stop you.
**[12:48] Yunyun**
D-Don't leave me!
**[12:50] Yunyun**
You were the one who said it!
**[12:52] Yunyun**
We're not even until you get me safely home!
**[12:56] Megumin**
Well, I regret saying it now.
**[13:10] Megumin**
Is it you?
**[13:13] Megumin**
* I've only been attacked by*
* monsters when Ink was with me.*
**[13:18] Megumin**
*Komekko was playing with the puzzle—er,*
**[13:20] Megumin**
* the fragments that kept*
* the Dark God sealed away.*
**[13:23] Megumin**
* Not only that, but the appearance*
* of the Dark God's minions*
**[13:27] Megumin**
*matches the timing of Ink's arrival.*
**[13:32] Yunyun**
What's wrong?
**[13:33] Megumin**
My head is killing me!
**[13:35] Megumin**
My brain is trying to keep me from thinking
any further, as a self-defense mechanism!
**[13:39] Yunyun**
This is really not the time
for escaping reality!
**[13:42] Komekko**
Sis, look at all that chicken!
**[13:45] Komekko**
Let's catch a whole bunch and take it home!
**[13:54] Yunyun**
Oh, no. This is really bad, isn't it?
**[13:58] Megumin**
*Yunyun can't move anymore.*
**[14:01] Megumin**
*I'll have to learn magic so we can escape.*
**[14:16] Megumin**
Yunyun, please stay with Komekko.
**[14:23] Komekko**
Sis, what's wrong?
Your eyes are redder than usual.
**[14:26] Yunyun**
Megumin!
**[14:30] Megumin**
*I've never used magic before,*
**[14:33] Megumin**
* but my Crimson Demon instincts let me*
* understand how it flows through my body.*
**[14:38] Megumin**
* It's okay. I know what I have*
* to do, and I won't regret it.*
**[14:43] Megumin**
*I can do this!*
**[14:45] Megumin**
I've got plenty of skill points.
**[14:47] Megumin**
For advanced magic...
Maybe Crimson Laser or Light of Saber.
**[14:52] Megumin**
Or maybe...
**[15:02] Yunyun**
Wh-What's wrong?
**[15:04] Yunyun**
Megumin, have you actually
lost it this time?
**[15:14] (Flashback) Megumin**
"Megumin found tonight's dinner!"
**[15:21] Komekko**
My sister snapped!
**[15:24] Megumin**
Yunyun! Komekko!
**[15:25] Megumin**
Keep your heads low, and brace yourselves!
**[15:29] Megumin**
Utilizing all skill points!
**[15:39] Komekko**
She's crackling! And popping!
**[15:43] Yunyun**
M-M-M-Megumin, what is this? What's going on?
**[15:45] Yunyun**
That doesn't usually happen!
**[15:48] Yunyun**
Wait, did you—
**[15:54] Megumin**
* The magic that I've been seeking for so long,*
* despite knowing how foolhardy it was.*
**[16:00] Megumin**
* This incantation, which I've practiced every*
* day since I learned it all those years ago!*
**[16:15] Megumin**
The sparks of genesis.
**[16:18] (Flashback) Wolbach**
The embers of oblivion.
**[16:20] (Flashback) Wolbach**
Past, present, and future,
**[16:22] (Flashback) Wolbach**
a forbidden force that
subsumes all creation.
**[16:25] (Flashback) Wolbach**
Flame, I am become destruction,
without mercy.
**[16:30] (Flashback) Wolbach**
By my blood, by my flesh,
**[16:33] (Flashback) Wolbach**
the commandments set by the
old gods are now shattered.
**[16:36] Megumin**
I am called Megumin.
Foremost prodigy among Crimson Demons,
**[16:40] Megumin**
and master of explosion magic.
**[16:43] Megumin**
The sorcery I have single-mindedly
sought for so long is now mine!
**[16:48] Megumin**
I will never forget this day!
**[16:52] Megumin**
Heavens! Earth!
You will never forget my name!
**[16:56] Megumin**
I am called Megumin!
Foremost prodigy among Crimson Demons,
**[17:00] Megumin**
and master of explosion magic!
**[17:04] Megumin**
Behold my power!
**[17:05] Megumin**
Explosion!
**[17:21] Megumin**
This is it!
**[17:23] Megumin**
This is what I wanted to see!
**[17:25] Megumin**
What an explosion! What power!
**[17:30] Megumin**
What a feeling... of satisfaction...
**[17:38] Komekko**
She blew up all the chickens!
**[17:44] Megumin**
* The adults who saw the*
* explosion rushed over to us,*
**[17:48] Megumin**
*and it was apparently quite the commotion.*
**[17:51] Megumin**
* After all, what they saw was me*
* and the chief's daughter collapsed,*
**[17:55] Megumin**
* with Komekko and Ink standing*
* watch, as if to protect us.*
**[18:11] Yunyun**
Megumin, what're you gonna do?!
**[18:14] Yunyun**
It's supposed to be a goddess of vengeance
and domination with a forgotten name!
**[18:18] Yunyun**
They said the seal on her has been
broken because of that explosion!
**[18:21] Yunyun**
The one you fired off!
**[18:24] Yunyun**
No one knows where she is!
What're you gonna do?!
**[18:26] Megumin**
*The adults of the village, understandably,*
**[18:27] Yunyun**
Seriously, what?!
**[18:27] Megumin**
* didn't believe that Komekko was*
* the one to break the seal.*
**[18:29] Yunyun**
Come on, say something, would you?!
**[18:31] Megumin**
* And they don't know that I've*
* mastered explosion magic, either.*
**[18:33] Yunyun**
Megumin! Are you listening?!
**[18:35] Yunyun**
Do you seriously not care?!
Please, Megumin!
**[18:44] Soketto**
Well, that was quite an ordeal.
**[18:47] Soketto**
Megumin, you need to buy your
sister some *actual* toys.
**[18:54] Soketto**
I think I'll tell your fortune today.
**[19:00] Soketto**
The town of rookie adventurers, Axel.
**[19:06] Soketto**
After enduring many hardships, you will
encounter wonderful new friends there.
**[19:12] Soketto**
They are very capable and...
**[19:15] Soketto**
Capable? Huh?
**[19:21] Soketto**
Woop.
**[19:21] Megumin**
What was that?! What did you see?!
**[19:24] Megumin**
*And, since we had learned magic,*
**[19:29] Megumin**
* we were told to come to school that weekend,*
* as we would be graduating by ourselves.*
**[19:40] Yunyun**
Megumin... congratulations on graduating.
**[19:43] Yunyun**
Congratulations to me, too.
**[19:45] Megumin**
I have no idea what you're crying about.
**[19:48] Megumin**
All they did was hand us a slip of
paper and tell us not to come back.
**[19:53] Yunyun**
Don't be mean! It's their way
of saying we did a good job.
**[19:57] Megumin**
Sure, sure.
**[19:59] Yunyun**
So, Megumin, what are you going to do now?
**[20:04] Megumin**
Isn't it obvious? Now that I've
mastered explosion magic,
**[20:08] Megumin**
I need to depart on a journey to make
the world aware of my supremacy!
**[20:13] Yunyun**
A journey?
**[20:14] Megumin**
Granted, before that happens, I'll need
to save enough money to actually leave.
**[20:24] Megumin**
She really is an impertinent one, isn't she?
**[20:27] Megumin**
Aren't kittens supposed to
be more cute than bold?
**[20:31] Yunyun**
Are you going to keep her
at your house, Megumin?
**[20:34] Megumin**
I don't know if that's wise.
**[20:36] Megumin**
There's no telling when Komekko
might make a meal of her.
**[20:40] Megumin**
But abandoning her feels wrong...
**[20:42] Yunyun**
I know! Maybe you should form a pact
to really make her your familiar?
**[20:48] Yunyun**
Even Komekko wouldn't eat her then.
**[20:54] Megumin**
*A familiar?*
**[20:57] Megumin**
I do like the idea of a mage
with a dark god as a servant.
**[21:02] Yunyun**
Dark... Wait, what?
**[21:05] Megumin**
I was just saying making her
my familiar was a good idea.
**[21:10] Megumin**
Yes, and if she's to be my familiar,
she'll need a proper name.
**[21:16] Yunyun**
Is... Ink not her name officially?
**[21:18] Megumin**
Of course not!
**[21:20] Megumin**
I'd feel sorry for her if she was stuck
with such a bizarre, unfashionable name.
**[21:26] Yunyun**
It's bizarre and unfashionable?
**[21:28] Yunyun**
But, look, I think she
likes her current name...
**[21:34] Megumin**
I've got it!
**[21:37] Yunyun**
Y-You know she's a female, right, Megumin?
**[21:40] Yunyun**
So maybe keep that in mind,
and go with a cute—
**[21:42] Megumin**
Your name is Chomusuke!
**[21:45] Megumin**
Yes, Chomusuke it is!

Big trouble, Megumin!
**[23:26] Yunyun**
We worked so hard to graduate, but now
have to spend every day job hunting!
**[23:29] Megumin**
Society just doesn't know what to do
with someone of my massive talents!
**[23:32] Megumin**
But I know exactly how to make some money.

**[00:00] Megumin**
Now that I have mastered explosion magic,
**[00:03] Megumin**
the time has come to inform
the world of my greatness!
**[00:07] Megumin**
Yes, let the smoke from my explosion
be a signal to the world's mightiest!
**[00:17] Megumin**
W-Wait on a second, please!
**[00:19] Megumin**
Could I have another chance?
**[00:20] Chekera**
Sorry, no. Not looking to
have my store get blown up.
**[00:25] Megumin**
I did it exactly as you said!
**[00:27] Megumin**
Please, I need this job!
**[00:30] Megumin**
I'm running out of options!
Don't turn me away!

**[02:08] Megumin**
Chekera's place didn't work out, either.
**[02:11] Megumin**
The ticket to Arcanretia is 300,000 eris...
**[02:14] Megumin**
I'm not even close yet.
**[02:16] Bukkorori**
Hey there, Megumin.
**[02:18] Bukkorori**
Another day of looking for work?
**[02:20] Bukkorori**
Why not just give up already?
**[02:22] Megumin**
Why not find a job yourself, Bukkorori?
**[02:26] Bukkorori**
In time, a battle requiring
my great talents will dawn.
**[02:30] Bukkorori**
I must sharpen my fangs until then!
**[02:32] Bukkorori**
See ya.
**[02:33] Bukkorori**
If you need any kind of help other
than financial, just let me know.
**[02:38] Bukkorori**
Since we're both NEETs, after all.
**[02:45] Megumin**
I am not a NEET.
**[02:47] Megumin**
A NEET refers to the kind of failure
who has no intention of getting a job.
**[02:51] Megumin**
Someone who wants to work,
but is unable to, is not a NEET!
**[02:54] Megumin**
Right. I'm a job-hunter!
**[02:59] Megumin**
I have returned.
**[03:02] Komekko**
Welcome home!
**[03:04] Komekko**
Hey, Sis, gimme food, please!
**[03:16] Crimson Demon A**
It's the Mad Exploder!
**[03:17] Crimson Demon B**
The Devil King's army is attacking!
**[03:19] Crimson Demon C**
Damn it, he's not escaping tonight!
**[03:35] Yunyun**
Megumin!
**[03:39] Megumin**
It's too early for this commotion.
**[03:41] Megumin**
Don't you consider the nuisance
you're being to your neighbors?
**[03:44] Yunyun**
How dare you of all people say that?!
**[03:46] Yunyun**
What was that explosion last night?!
**[03:48] Megumin**
I'm not sure why you're asking me.
I heard it was the Devil King's army.
**[03:52] Yunyun**
Stop playing dumb!
**[03:53] Yunyun**
This was the same night after you
got rejected from all those jobs!
**[03:57] Megumin**
Wait, what is this?!
Are you seriously accusing me?
**[04:01] Megumin**
I'm shocked! And I thought
we were friends, Yunyun.
**[04:05] Yunyun**
You can't just say that we're friends
and expect me to let anything slide!
**[04:11] Megumin**
Stop it, please!
**[04:12] Megumin**
Fine! I understand!
My brain! My poor brain!
**[04:16] Yunyun**
What is wrong with you, firing off
explosion magic inside the village?!
**[04:16] Komekko**
Does this hurt?
**[04:18] Komekko**
How about this?
**[04:19] Komekko**
This hurt?
**[04:20] Megumin**
It's not my fault!
**[04:20] Komekko**
Like this?
**[04:22] Megumin**
Society's to blame for not being
able to utilize my gifts!
**[04:22] Komekko**
That hurt?
**[04:25] Yunyun**
How long are you going to use that excuse?
**[04:26] Komekko**
Does it hurt? How about this?
**[04:27] Yunyun**
Stop thinking that you're
going to get rich quick,
**[04:29] Yunyun**
and start actually working to save money!
**[04:31] Megumin**
I tried my best, okay?!
**[04:33] Megumin**
But it didn't work!
**[04:33] Komekko**
What about this?
**[04:35] Komekko**
What if I pull here?
**[04:37] Yunyun**
Oh, fine, then...
**[04:39] Komekko**
Does this hurt? Maybe here?
**[04:40] Yunyun**
I've got a few ideas in mind.
**[04:43] Yunyun**
A-And I don't want you blowing stuff
up just to let off some steam!
**[04:47] Yunyun**
Come on, let's go.
**[05:18] Yunyun**
I don't want to see potatoes
again for a long time.
**[05:26] Megumin**
I've had enough of this!
**[05:28] Megumin**
I'm a prodigious magus!
**[05:31] Megumin**
There are as many adventurers
in this wide world
**[05:35] Megumin**
thirsting for my talents as
there are stars in the sky!
**[05:39] Megumin**
How long must I be trapped in this village?
**[05:44] Yunyun**
Megumin...
**[05:45] Yunyun**
I'll try and find some
better-paying jobs, so don't—
**[05:50] Megumin**
Yunyun, I need to ask a favor.
**[05:53] Yunyun**
What's that?
**[05:54] Megumin**
Care to go on a little date?
**[05:59] Yunyun**
Huh?
**[06:01] Megumin**
Explosion!
**[06:10] Megumin**
Another day, another nice explosion.
**[06:15] Yunyun**
Wh-What are you doing?!
**[06:16] Megumin**
What do you mean? It's part of my routine.
**[06:19] Megumin**
I need to use my explosion
magic once a day or I die.
**[06:23] Yunyun**
Stupid, stupid, stupid!
**[06:24] Yunyun**
Stupid Megumin!
**[06:25] Megumin**
Now, Yunyun, please carry me home.
**[06:27] Yunyun**
What?!
**[06:28] Megumin**
Right now, I'm as helpless
as a newborn infant.
**[06:32] Megumin**
Now, carry me, please!
**[06:34] Yunyun**
I'm going to throttle you if
you don't stop being stupid!
**[06:39] Bukkorori**
What're you two doing out here?
**[06:42] Megumin**
B-Bukkorori?
**[06:44] Yunyun**
What brings you here?
**[06:46] Bukkorori**
You two heard all that noise, right?
**[06:49] Bukkorori**
I thought it might be the Mad Exploder,
so I rushed over here.
**[06:53] Bukkorori**
Did you see him?
**[06:54] Bukkorori**
And why is Megumin lying on the ground?
**[06:57] Yyunyun**
W-Well... because...
**[06:59] Megumin**
I saw the Mad Exploder!
**[07:02] Megumin**
We were gaining levels by fighting monsters
in the woods when we had an encounter!
**[07:08] Megumin**
That kind of strength...
**[07:09] Megumin**
I'm certain they must be one of
the the Devil King's enforcers!
**[07:12] Megumin**
Sadly, they escaped after
our valiant struggle...
**[07:15] Bukkorori**
So that's why you look so ridiculous.
**[07:17] Bukkorori**
They must've been a truly fearsome foe.
**[07:19] Megumin**
Yes. Most likely a demon.
**[07:22] Megumin**
It was a... demon woman, with a
really luscious body and big horns.
**[07:26] Yunyun**
*H-How can she just lie like that?*
**[07:35] Megumin**
Whew. I'm exhausted.
**[07:38] Yunyun**
S-So... for t-tomorrow... um...
**[07:42] Megumin**
Right. I'd appreciate your help in
job searching tomorrow, as well.
**[07:46] Yunyun**
O-Okay! See you then.
**[07:51] Megumin**
Good grief...
**[08:00] Megumin**
Chomusuke, I'm home.
**[08:03] Megumin**
What's that look for?
**[08:06] Megumin**
Here now... Is that good?
Is that where you like it?
**[08:11] Megumin**
You're a needy little thing,
aren't you? How about—
**[08:14] Megumin**
Okay, not there!
**[08:19] Arnes**
I apologize for dropping by
so late. Is anyone home?
**[08:23] Megumin**
The door's open. Come right in.
**[08:33] Megumin**
Who might you be?
**[08:40] Arnes**
It's been so long, but I've found you at last,
**[08:44] Arnes**
my glorious mistress.
**[08:47] Arnes**
When I learned the seal had been broken,
I made a great journey to reach this place.
**[08:53] Arnes**
I am called Arnes.
**[08:55] Arnes**
I will serve as an extension of your will,
dedicating my life to your protection.
**[09:02] Megumin**
I knew a day like this would come.
**[09:07] Megumin**
The age of chaos draws near.
**[09:10] Megumin**
You will stand at my side, my servant!
**[09:15] Arnes**
I don't know who you are,
but I appreciate what you've done.
**[09:19] Arnes**
I will attend to my mistress from now on.
**[09:22] Megumin**
Wait. I thought you were talking about me?
**[09:25] Arnes**
No.
**[09:26] Megumin**
Then you're here for...
**[09:28] Arnes**
The one on top of you.
**[09:34] Megumin**
Oh, her.
**[09:35] Arnes**
My glorious mistress,
whose domain is sloth and violence...
**[09:39] Arnes**
Come, let us be on our way.
**[09:43] Megumin**
I don't think she's interested.
**[09:45] Megumin**
You should go now.
**[09:46] Arnes**
W-Wait just a minute!
**[09:48] Arnes**
Lady Wolbach, it's me! Arnes!
**[09:51] Arnes**
Come on! Let's head home together.
**[09:52] Arnes**
I've been through so much
trying to find you!
**[09:56] Megumin**
You're a stubborn one, aren't you?
**[09:58] Megumin**
She doesn't want to go, so that's that.
**[10:01] Arnes**
I-I would never leave your
kindness unrewarded.
**[10:03] Arnes**
I'm prepared to show my gratitude...
**[10:05] Megumin**
What is this? Chomusuke is a
beloved member of this family.
**[10:08] Megumin**
You can't expect money to be enough...
**[10:12] Arnes**
I only have 300,000 eris
on me at the moment.
**[10:15] Megumin**
Three hundred thousand eris?!
**[10:17] Arnes**
You'll have to forgive the paltry sum...
**[10:20] Megumin**
No apologies necessary!
You can have her back right now.
**[10:23] Arnes**
Thank you so much!
**[10:24] Megumin**
Look here! It's your new guardian!
**[10:27] Megumin**
Take care now!
**[10:30] Megumin**
Let go!
**[10:31] Arnes**
U-Um... My mistress seems rather reluctant,
**[10:35] Arnes**
and I'm sure you need to say your goodbyes.
**[10:37] Arnes**
I'll come by again tomorrow.
**[10:41] Megumin**
Sorry about this. Until tomorrow, then.
**[10:45] Arnes**
It's a promise.
**[10:53] Megumin**
Right, so, Chomusuke is going
to be leaving us today.
**[10:57] Yunyun**
You mean to tell me you sold her?
**[11:00] Yunyun**
The same cat you've been
taking such good care of?!
**[11:02] Yunyun**
Unbelievable!
**[11:03] Megumin**
You don't understand! It's tearing
me apart, too! I feel so sad!
**[11:07] Megumin**
But I want that 300,000 eris!
**[11:11] Arnes**
I'm here to retrieve my
mistress, as promised.
**[11:15] Megumin**
Miss Arnes!
**[11:18] Yunyun**
Excuse me... What do you mean
when you call her that?
**[11:21] Arnes**
You have my thanks for seeing
to her care all this time.
**[11:25] Arnes**
But it would be wise to not
ask any further questions.
**[11:30] Arnes**
Now...
**[11:31] Arnes**
Let's be on our way, Lady Wolbach.
**[11:36] Arnes**
Ow, ow, ow!
P-Please, cease this horseplay!
**[11:39] Megumin**
Chomusuke, stop it!
**[11:48] Megumin/Yunyun**
A demon?!
**[11:50] Arnes**
So, you've seen.
**[11:52] Megumin**
And a high-ranked demon?
**[11:54] Yunyun**
What are you doing here?
**[11:56] Arnes**
You need not worry.
I'm only here for Lady Wolbach.
**[12:01] Arnes**
Hand her over without any trouble,
and you won't be harmed.
**[12:04] Arnes**
I promise.
**[12:05] Yunyun**
L-Like we can trust the words of a demon.
**[12:08] Megumin**
That's right!
**[12:09] Megumin**
You're sure to chow down on Chomusuke
as soon as we hand her over!
**[12:13] Arnes**
How impudent. I'll have you know that
demons never break our promises—
**[12:19] Arnes**
P-Promises?
**[12:23] Arnes**
Promises...
**[12:24] Megumin**
Wh-What's wrong?
**[12:29] Arnes**
Promises!
**[12:39] Megumin**
It's not very good tea.
**[12:43] Arnes**
Thank you.
**[12:45] Arnes**
And I apologize for losing
my composure like that.
**[12:48] Yunyun**
Um... are you okay?
**[12:51] Arnes**
Yes, I'm feeling a bit better.
**[12:53] Megumin**
You seem to have been through quite a lot.
**[12:56] Arnes**
That's right.
**[12:58] Arnes**
Lately, I seem to be trapped
in this bizarre energy field...
**[13:02] Yunyun**
E-Energy?
**[13:04] Arnes**
And something about it seems to attract men
**[13:06] Arnes**
that are like crystallized
embodiments of trash!
**[13:09] Arnes**
I've been lied to, betrayed, and
had every promise to me broken!
**[13:13] Arnes**
I've grown quite accustomed
to it at this point...
**[13:16] Arnes**
The bitter taste of deception.
**[13:20] Megumin**
W-Well...
**[13:22] Arnes**
It's fine, though.
**[13:24] Arnes**
Now that I'm safely reunited
with my mistress,
**[13:26] Arnes**
all those tearful days can finally end!
**[13:29] Arnes**
Now, Lady Wolbach, come with me!
**[13:33] Yunyun**
W-Well, Chomusuke doesn't
seem to want to leave,
**[13:36] Yunyun**
so maybe you could just forget about—
**[13:38] Arnes**
What?! Are you humans breaking
yet another promise to me?!
**[13:41] Yunyun**
Not exactly...
**[13:43] Bukkorori**
Hey, Megumin. Pardon the intrusion.
**[13:45] Megumin**
Bukkorori?
**[13:46] Yunyun**
Wh-What are you doing here?
**[13:49] Bukkorori**
I could feel this extremely attractive
energy calling to me, so here I am.
**[13:54] Arnes**
Energy...
**[13:55] Arnes**
* I can feel it! I sense the energy*
* of an extremely trashy man!*
**[13:59] Bukkorori**
Hey, Megumin. Is this demon the
Mad Exploder that's been causing trouble?
**[14:04] Megumin**
That's right!
**[14:05] Megumin**
She's the one who did it!
**[14:07] Bukkorori**
I see! Here for revenge, huh,
you treacherous fiend?!
**[14:10] Arnes**
What are you talking about?!
**[14:11] Bukkorori**
Assemble, my crimson bestial brethren!
**[14:14] Bukkorori**
The time has come to bear your razor fangs!
**[14:19] Megumin**
Hey! You do realize I have
to live here, don't you?!
**[14:24] Arnes**
I feel them!
**[14:28] Headmaster**
This energy resonating with the abyssal
depths of our souls drives us onward!
**[14:33] Pucchin**
My precious students, we're on the way!
**[14:38] Arnes**
I-I can sense it... The energy
of a mass of worthless men...
**[14:42] Arnes**
No more! I can't do this!
**[14:48] Bukkorori**
You won't escape!
**[14:58] Arnes**
A curse upon humanity!
**[15:01] Arnes**
And death to all worthless men!
**[15:11] Yunyun**
I feel kind of bad for that demon,
**[15:15] Yunyun**
but at least she didn't take Chomusuke away.
**[15:17] Megumin**
Yes. I was wondering, could you take
care of Chomusuke at your place?
**[15:23] Yunyun**
Huh? Where'd that come from?!
**[15:25] Megumin**
I'm thinking of leaving
for my journey tomorrow.
**[15:28] Yunyun**
So soon?!
**[15:29] Yunyun**
And what about the money?
**[15:32] Megumin**
This should cover the cost of teleportation.
**[15:34] Yunyun**
Th-That's so mean!
**[15:35] Yunyun**
You're really going to spend it,
after all that's happened?
**[15:38] Megumin**
Crimson Demons are solitary creatures.
**[15:40] Megumin**
I'm sure we'll meet again,
if it's fated to happen.
**[15:43] Yunyun**
Did you tell your parents?
**[15:45] Megumin**
I've told my mother and father that I would
leave when the time is right long ago.
**[15:50] Yunyun**
But...
**[15:52] Yunyun**
You could take your time.
**[15:55] Yunyun**
This is so sudden.
**[15:57] Megumin**
It's not sudden at all.
**[16:01] Megumin**
I've been waiting for over half a year.
**[16:06] Megumin**
That being the case,
please take care of this furball.
**[16:17] Yunyun**
Megumin... You're gonna
come back to the village
**[16:21] Yunyun**
once you find that robed woman, right?
**[16:23] Megumin**
No, I won't.
**[16:25] Megumin**
Once I'm out in the world and
have reliable companions,
**[16:29] Megumin**
I may as well slay the Devil King,
and ascend his throne!
**[16:32] Megumin**
When that happens,
I'll make you one of my generals.
**[16:35] Yunyun**
That is not going to happen!
**[16:37] Yunyun**
Why do we have to be bad guys?
**[16:40] Megumin**
You're going to become village chief once
you've learned advanced magic, right?
**[16:44] Yunyun**
That's right.
**[16:46] Yunyun**
But I don't think that's
gonna happen for a while.
**[16:50] Yunyun**
So... y'know...
**[17:01] Megumin**
Well, Yunyun, as my self-proclaimed
rival, I wish you good luck.
**[17:05] Megumin**
But if you try to become one of my generals
**[17:08] Megumin**
after I've already conquered
the world, it'll be too late.
**[17:10] Yunyun**
I would never ask for that!
**[17:12] Yunyun**
If you become the Devil King,
I'll come and defeat you!
**[17:17] Megumin**
Until we meet again.
**[17:20] Yunyun**
Yeah... See you then.
**[17:28] Yunyun**
H-Hey, Megumin!
**[17:30] Yunyun**
W-Wait just a sec, okay?
**[17:50] Megumin**
Komekko, if anything happens while I'm
gone, be sure to tell the adults, all right?
**[17:56] Komekko**
Okay, I will.
**[17:58] Megumin**
He might not seem like much, but if you
need help, you can talk to Bukkorori.
**[18:03] Megumin**
He probably won't have
anything better to do.
**[18:05] Komekko**
Okay, I will.
**[18:06] Megumin**
If you get lonely, you should visit Yunyun.
**[18:09] Megumin**
I'm sure she'll be glad to see you.
**[18:11] Megumin**
If anything, she'll probably
be lonelier than you,
**[18:15] Megumin**
so you should check on
her from time to time.
**[18:18] Komekko**
Okay, I will.
**[18:19] Megumin**
My little sister is so clever, and so strong.
**[18:31] Komekko**
Good luck, Sis. Become the
strongest ever, okay?
**[18:35] Megumin**
Understood.
**[18:36] Megumin**
Consider it a promise, my dear sister.
**[18:39] Megumin**
Once day, I'll be renowned as the
most powerful mage in the world.
**[18:42] Komekko**
Beat up the Devil King, okay?
**[18:44] Megumin**
The... Devil King? That's a little...
**[18:47] Komekko**
Beat him up, okay?
**[18:48] Megumin**
I'll do my best.
**[18:51] Komekko**
Sis?
**[18:52] Megumin**
What is it?
**[18:54] Komekko**
Come home soon, okay?
**[19:05] Funifura**
She should be coming any time now...
**[19:08] Funifura**
What kept you?
**[19:09] Funifura**
Would it kill you to think about those
of us who were waiting all morning?
**[19:13] Megumin**
You all really have nothing better to do?
**[19:15] Funifura**
Just for once, could you
maybe say "thank you"?
**[19:18] Arue**
Yunyun won't be coming.
**[19:20] Arue**
She had some important
discussion with her parents.
**[19:23] Megumin**
I see.
**[19:24] Funifura**
Huh? You're not sad?
**[19:25] Megumin**
Not really.
**[19:26] Funifura**
Not that you'd admit it, anyway.
**[19:28] Funifura**
Whatever. Here you go.
**[19:30] Megumin**
What is it?
**[19:31] Dodonko**
A parting gift. A staff made by Funifura's dad.
**[19:35] Megumin**
Thank you. I'll take good care of it.
**[19:38] Megumin**
But what brought this on?
Some sort of tsundere thing?
**[19:41] Funifura**
Of course not!
**[19:42] Funifura**
I just don't like leaving debts unpaid!
**[19:45] Dodonko**
Funifura was really grateful for
that medicine you made, Megumin.
**[19:50] Megumin**
What? You mean to tell me your
little brother was *actually* sick?
**[19:53] Megumin**
I was sure you'd just made up
a story to fleece Yunyun...
**[19:57] Funifura**
I wouldn't go that far!
**[19:59] Dodonko**
As creepily obsessed with her brother
as she is, Funifura isn't a bad person!
**[20:03] Funifura**
Hey!
**[20:05] Arue**
Next is from me. A one-of-a-kind treasure.
**[20:09] Funifura**
Whoa, your eyepatch?
**[20:11] Nerimaki**
Isn't this the first time
you've taken it off, Arue?
**[20:14] Dodonko**
Th-This is a really big deal, actually!
**[20:16] Arue**
It's a magic item that helps
restrain my magic power.
**[20:19] Arue**
I was born with more power
than I could control,
**[20:21] Arue**
so I've been wearing this since I was young.
**[20:24] Nerimaki**
And you're just gonna give it to Megumin?
**[20:28] Arue**
It's fine. My dream is to
become a writer, after all.
**[20:31] Arue**
I want to write stories
that make people happy.
**[20:35] Arue**
I'd love to hear about your
adventures someday, Megumin.
**[20:39] Funifura**
Th-That was a lot more
profound than I expected...
**[20:42] Dodonko**
Makes the staff seem kinda lame.
**[20:47] Megumin**
I'll treasure all of it just the same.
**[20:51] Arue**
That's good to know.
**[20:52] Arue**
Considering that's just a fashion eye
patch with nothing special about it.
**[20:57] Megumin**
Come on!
**[20:58] Arue**
Authors make up stories. It's what we do.
**[21:01] Teleporter**
The teleportation to Arcanretia
is about to activate.
**[21:05] Teleporter**
If you're going to be leaving,
please get into position.
**[21:24] (Flashback) Yunyun**
Have a good trip.
**[21:29] Megumin**
I'm heading out!
**[21:35] Teleporter**
May your journey be blessed!
**[21:37] Teleporter**
Teleport!
**[21:42] Megumin**
*I am called Megumin.*
**[21:44] Megumin**
* She who was born in the*
* village of Crimson Demons...*
**[21:47] Megumin**
* And she who will, one day,*
* perfect explosion magic!*

Big trouble, Megumin!
**[23:27] Yunyun**
You were so excited to leave, but now you're
back to looking for work all the time!
**[23:30] Megumin**
And what do you think you
know about my situation?!
**[23:32] Yunyun**
I just hope you don't get so isolated that
you end up joining a weird cult...

I have arrived!
**[00:04] Megumin**
The city of water and hot
springs, Arcanretia!
**[00:09] Megumin**
*Clad in the armor of my friends' parting gifts,*

**[02:02] Megumin**
It... It wasn't supposed to be like this.
**[02:08] Megumin**
* It's been a week since*
* I teleported to this town,*
**[02:13] Megumin**
* and not only have I had trouble earning*

* the cost of food and lodging.*
**[02:18] Axis Cultist 2**
All it takes is a signature!
**[02:20] (Flashback) Megumin**
Huh? It's a bad idea?
**[02:23] (Flashback) Receptionist**
Yes.
**[02:24] (Flashback) Receptionist**
All of the monsters that live near
Arcanretia tend to be really strong.
**[02:29] (Flashback) Receptionist**
There are manageable ones like
goblins and kobolds, too, but...
**[02:34] (Flashback) Receptionist**
They always seem to appear alongside the kind
**[02:36] (Flashback) Receptionist**
that would make quick work of
an amateur. Which means...
**[02:39] (Flashback) Megumin**
A rookie adventurer like myself
can't accept quests here, then.
**[02:45] (Flashback) Receptionist**
Sorry about this.
**[02:49] Megumin**
I know my explosion magic could
obliterate any kind of foe!
**[02:54] Megumin**
But if I can't take any work on,
I literally can't get anywhere.
**[02:58] Megumin**
No! It should be fine if I find a normal
job that doesn't require magic!
**[03:04] Megumin**
It should!
**[03:11] Owner**
You're fired.
**[03:12] Megumin**
Hang on a second, boss!
**[03:14] Megumin**
There's a good explanation for this!
**[03:15] Owner**
Is there? Let's hear it.
**[03:18] Megumin**
Well... these customers were
treating me like a child,
**[03:22] Megumin**
so I asked them, "How could
I possibly seem like a child?"
**[03:26] Megumin**
And they had the nerve to talk about my
height, and my chest, among other things.
**[03:30] Owner**
And that's why you ended up pressing
piping hot oden against their faces?
**[03:33] (Flashback) Patron**
Hot!
**[03:35] Megumin**
Yep!
**[03:36] Owner**
Okay. So you're fired.
**[03:42] Megumin**
At this rate...
**[03:43] Axis Cultist 1**
Would you like to join us in loving
Lady Aqua? Worshiping her?
**[03:47] Axis Cultist 1**
Serving her? I'm sure it would provide
a dramatic change in your life,
**[03:51] Axis Cultist 1**
in more ways than one!
**[03:53] Axis Cultist 2**
Joining the Axis Church has all kinds
of benefits, like learning party tricks
**[03:56] Axis Cultist 2**
and becoming really popular
with undead monsters!
**[04:05] Megumin**
I don't have time for this.
**[04:07] Megumin**
I need to earn money somehow!
**[04:10] Axis Cultist 1**
Join the Axis Church now and you're
guaranteed to have good luck!
**[04:14] Girl**
Would it... help me make friends?
**[04:20] Megumin**
Yunyun?
**[04:21] Axis Cultist 1**
You'll get friends, family, and lovers!
Of all ages, from adults to kids to old folks!
**[04:26] Megumin**
* I think I may have developed a*
* subconscious reliance on her.*
**[04:31] Megumin**
*Which is bad!*
**[04:33] Cecily**
Aren't you two ashamed to do this
sort of thing to a helpless girl?!
**[04:38] Megumin**
What's this?
**[04:39] Priest 1**
Stop trying to make this about us!
**[04:41] Priest 1**
Give it a rest and—
**[04:42] Megumin**
Hold it right there!
**[04:45] Cecily**
Please, help me!
**[04:46] Cecily**
These two were all, "Look at the pretty
mug on you! I bet you want it, huh?"
**[04:50] Cecily**
"Waltzing around town with
that hot little body,
**[04:53] Cecily**
I bet you knew exactly what would happen!"
And then they tried to drag me off!
**[04:57] Priests**
We did not!
**[05:00] Megumin**
I am called Megumin!
**[05:02] Megumin**
Foremost mage among the Crimson Demons,
and master of explosion magic!
**[05:07] Megumin**
And I can hardly overlook
this brand of villainy!
**[05:11] Priest 2**
Wait, you're a Crimson Demon?
**[05:13] Priest 1**
Don't be hasty, now. Let's talk this over.
**[05:16] Megumin**
Unfortunately for you, my crimson gaze
**[05:20] Megumin**
can see through the excuses that
would fool your average dullard!
**[05:24] Priest 1**
Girl, I think your crimson
gaze might be blind!
**[05:29] Priest 2**
Great, now what are you gonna do about this?
**[05:31] Priest 1**
That woman was an Axis cultist!
**[05:33] Megumin**
Huh?
**[05:34] Priest 2**
She defaced a portrait of Lady
Eris that was hung in our church!
**[05:38] Megumin**
Huh?!
**[05:39] Priest 1**
And the other day, she ran
off with all the bread
**[05:41] Priest 1**
that we were supposed to
distribute to the needy!
**[05:43] Megumin**
What?!
**[05:43] Megumin**
Well, that's, uh...
I'm terribly sorry about that.
**[05:46] Megumin**
I haven't been here long, and I don't...
**[05:48] Cecily**
Officer, that's them!
**[05:52] Cop**
I half expected this to be nonsense,
considering the Axis Cult was involved,
**[05:56] Cop**
but it looks like the Eris Sect is
actually harassing a young girl.
**[06:01] Priest 1**
Ma'am, I don't know what
that Axis cultist told you,
**[06:04] Priest 1**
but we haven't done anything wrong!
**[06:06] Cecily**
Dear me! Look how defiant they are!
**[06:08] Cecily**
And after they were trying
to do who-knows-what
**[06:11] Cecily**
not just to that darling girl,
but myself, as well!
**[06:13] Cecily**
You must've been so scared!
But it's all right now!
**[06:16] Priest 2**
What are you talking about?!
**[06:17] Cop**
Why don't you explain yourselves
down at the station?
**[06:19] Cop**
Come along, now.
**[06:20] Priests**
Wh-What?!
**[06:21] Cecily**
Let's go! Now's our chance!
**[06:23] Cop**
Hang on! I need to question you two, as well!
**[06:31] Cecily**
Are you all right? They didn't hurt you?
**[06:35] Cecily**
Looks like I arrived in the nick of time!
**[06:37] Cecily**
Talk about a close call.
**[06:39] Megumin**
What are you trying to pull?
**[06:40] Megumin**
Why are you trying to make
it sound like you saved me?
**[06:44] Megumin**
It's not like I had any reason to run.
**[06:47] Cecily**
Come, now. If you had stayed there,
**[06:50] Cecily**
those wicked Eris cultists would've
definitely done something horrible to you.
**[06:54] Cecily**
I mean, look at you!
You're so cute and... lolicious.
**[06:58] Cecily**
Now, if you want to thank me for helping you,
**[07:01] Cecily**
just sign this certificate of conversion...
**[07:03] Megumin**
I am not joining the Axis Sect!
**[07:05] Megumin**
Why should I thank you in the first—
**[07:10] Cecily**
Someone must be hungry!
**[07:12] Cecily**
Why don't you come with me?
**[07:15] Cecily**
I'll take real good care of you!
**[07:18] Megumin**
And yet, I have a tremendously
bad feeling about it.
**[07:22] Cecily**
My name is Cecily, and I'm a priest
with the Religious Order of Axis!
**[07:26] Cecily**
You can call me "Big Sis Cecily," okay?
**[07:31] Megumin**
My name is Megumin...
**[07:33] Megumin**
So call me that.
**[07:35] Cecily**
What an unusual name!
**[07:37] Cecily**
But no matter. Let's get you some tasty
food, and we can have a nice chat.
**[07:51] Church Guy 1**
It's a loli!
**[07:53] Church Guy 2**
Our order has been blessed with a loli!
**[07:55] Church guy 3**
Look how lolicious she is!
**[07:57] Church guy 4**
Loliloli!
**[07:58] Megumin**
The next person to say "loli"
is going to catch these hands!
**[08:05] Unmarked AD**
God, she is a *loli* loli.
**[08:07] Cecily**
Miss Megumin, our adherents are
forbidden from being near children.
**[08:13] Cecily**
So, please, try to understand how they feel.
**[08:16] Megumin**
What in the world did you people do?!
**[08:22] Tristan**
Please, enjoy.
**[08:26] Megumin**
This isn't one of those
**[08:27] Megumin**
"By eating this, you accept membership
in the Axis Sect" deals, is it?
**[08:31] Cecily**
Come, now! We would never
try anything so dastardly!
**[08:35] Cecily**
Right?
**[08:35] Tristan**
Th-That's right!
**[08:37] Tristan**
I swear to Lady Aqua!
**[08:39] Megumin**
Good grief...
**[08:47] Zesta**
Ah, it seems an adorable
guest has joined us.
**[08:54] Cecily**
This our arch priest, Father Zesta.
**[08:57] Zesta**
I hear you've had trouble finding
work or a place to stay.
**[09:02] Zesta**
If you'd like, you can have a
room here until you find a job.
**[09:07] Megumin**
Thank you so much!
**[09:08] Megumin**
I hate to impose, but I was
really running out of options.
**[09:12] Megumin**
If there's anything I can do to
thank you, please, just ask.
**[09:16] Zesta**
Did you say... *anything*?
**[09:18] Megumin**
Er, that's more a figure of speech...
**[09:22] Zesta**
In that case...
**[09:24] Zesta**
Could you call me "Big Brother"?
**[09:27] Zesta**
Wait, no... "Daddy"!
**[09:29] Zesta**
Maybe some underpants instead?
**[09:31] Zesta**
Actually, just sit on me!
**[09:33] Zesta**
Oh, dear, I can't decide!
**[09:36] Zesta**
Oh great goddess Aqua! Please offer
your guidance to this lost lamb!
**[09:42] Megumin**
Excuse me, but what is this deviant's deal?
**[09:46] Cecily**
That's Father Zesta. He runs our chapter,
and is next in line to be pontiff of our order.
**[09:51] Megumin**
Is your order... going to be okay?
**[09:54] Cecily**
I know what you're thinking, but he can
be pretty competent when he has to be.
**[09:57] Cecily**
It'll probably be fine?
**[10:00] Megumin**
You really don't sound that invested.
**[10:05] Church guy 1**
Father Zesta, I hate to interrupt your fun,
**[10:10] Church guy 1**
but I have today's report
on our conversion rates.
**[10:16] Zesta**
This doesn't look promising.
**[10:18] Church guy 1**
Yes, most likely due to the
machinations of that wicked Eris Cult.
**[10:22] Church guy 2**
Maybe we should switch up
our proselytization methods?
**[10:25] Zesta**
How, for example?
**[10:26] Church guy 2**
We could pretend to be
members of the Eris Sect,
**[10:29] Church guy 2**
and just before someone signs up,
**[10:31] Church guy 2**
switch out the certificate of conversion
with one for the Axis Church.
**[10:35] Zesta**
No, that would be too obvious, and they'd
be able to run at the last second.
**[10:44] Megumin**
You're looking for an effective method
to recruit new members, then?
**[10:50] Megumin**
Crimson Demons are renowned for
our wisdom. Perhaps I can help?
**[11:00] Megumin**
Listen closely.
**[11:01] Megumin**
First, I intentionally spill these apples.
**[11:07] Megumin**
"Oh, my apples!" I'll scream in anguish.
**[11:11] Megumin**
And then some kind person
will help me collect them.
**[11:14] Megumin**
That's when I say, "Thank you
so much! You're a huge help!"
**[11:18] Megumin**
And you pretend to coincidentally
have come across the scene.
**[11:23] Megumin**
Then I'll go, "Mr. Zesta!
This person just helped me!"
**[11:28] Megumin**
Which is your cue to go,
"Please, let me thank you somehow,"
**[11:33] Megumin**
at which point you invite
us both to a nearby café.
**[11:37] Megumin**
Which is where you will
threaten... or rather,
**[11:39] Megumin**
give a sermon to convince them to convert!
**[11:42] Zesta**
M-M-M-M—
**[11:45] Zesta**
Magnificent! Such brilliant thinking!
**[11:47] Zesta**
Is this the wisdom of the Crimson Demons?!
**[11:49] Zesta**
It sounds more effective than
any plan I've ever heard of!
**[11:54] Megumin**
Now then, let's get underway.
**[11:56] Zesta**
Right!
**[12:00] Megumin**
Here comes someone who looks helpful.
**[12:08] Megumin**
Wha—
**[12:10] Zesta**
Oh, my apples!
**[12:16] Zesta**
Thank you so much! You're a huge help!
**[12:20] Zesta**
Can I do anything to thank you?!
**[12:23] Girl**
Th-That's okay!
**[12:35] Zesta**
Well, nothing is perfect from the get-go.
**[12:38] Zesta**
I think I've the gist now,
so I bet it'll work next time.
**[12:40] Megumin**
Could you just leave?
**[12:42] Zesta**
Now, now, everyone makes mistakes sometimes.
**[12:45] Megumin**
Do you even realize it was your fault?
**[12:47] Megumin**
Let's change up the premise. This time,
we'll pretend that you're attacking me.
**[12:53] Zesta**
Right.
**[12:59] Megumin**
Let's go for that hardy-looking fellow
with the righteous air about him.
**[13:04] Megumin**
Someone! Someone, help me!
**[13:07] Megumin**
This old man was going to make me...
**[13:12] Tough Guy**
Where is he?
**[13:14] Megumin**
Huh?
**[13:16] Megumin**
What are you doing?!
**[13:18] Megumin**
We've already got his attention!
You need to come after me!
**[13:22] Megumin**
At this rate, I'm just going to look crazy!
**[13:25] Tough Guy**
Miss, what's this all about?
**[13:29] Megumin**
Well...
**[13:31] Tough guy**
I happen to be a police officer,
although I'm off-duty today.
**[13:34] Megumin**
Th-There's actually... a good explanation...
**[13:38] Tough guy**
Well, I'd like to hear it,
considering the commotion you're making.
***SIGN*** KONOSUBA - An Explosion on This Wonderful World!
**[13:45] Megumin**
Son of a...
**[13:47] Megumin**
I am *done*.
**[13:50] Zesta**
Now, don't be that way.
**[13:52] Zesta**
I apologize for running
and leaving you behind.
**[13:54] Zesta**
It's just, he looked rather tough, you know?
**[13:58] Megumin**
That's no excuse! I was chewed out
by a constable because of you!
**[14:03] Zesta**
I'm so sorry! You have my
most heartfelt apology!
**[14:07] Megumin**
Do you actually feel sorry at all?
**[14:09] Zesta**
Now, now, let's renew our approach.
**[14:12] Zesta**
Oh, look, meat skewers!
**[14:15] Megumin**
I can't be bought with food, you realize.
**[14:22] Megumin**
This is really good!
**[14:23] Zesta**
I'm curious, Miss Megumin. What has you
traveling on your own at such a young age?
**[14:28] Megumin**
I'm actually searching for someone.
**[14:31] Megumin**
Although my only clues are
that she's a beautiful,
**[14:35] Megumin**
voluptuous woman who uses explosion magic.
**[14:38] Zesta**
That sounds familiar...
**[14:41] Megumin**
What?! Could you tell me more?
**[14:43] Zesta**
Something about a buxom beauty of
some renown in the town of Axel,
**[14:47] Zesta**
who can use explosion magic, and is
running a magical item shop, I think?
**[14:53] Zesta**
The fact that she's a buxom beauty made
an impression, so it stuck in my memory.
**[14:59] Megumin**
Well, since you've given me a good
lead in addition to good food,
**[15:03] Megumin**
let me help a bit more with
your recruiting efforts.
**[15:07] Zesta**
Would you be so kind, Miss Megumin?
**[15:11] Townsfolk**
There they are!
**[15:12] Townsfolk**
Get them!
**[15:13] Megumin**
Uh, Zest?! Why did you steal the
toilet paper from that bathroom?!
**[15:17] Zesta**
I left certificates of
conversion in their place!
**[15:20] Zesta**
Wouldn't you despair at having no paper,
and search for grace in Lady Aqua's arms?!
**[15:24] Megumin**
You didn't think about
the trouble you'd cause,
**[15:27] Megumin**
or the fact that they might wipe
their butts with your certificates?!
**[15:34] Megumin**
Let's just head back.
**[15:36] Zesta**
I don't mind, but... are you sure
you want to, Miss Megumin?
**[15:41] Megumin**
Excuse me?
**[15:42] Zesta**
Considering how highly
you billed yourself...
**[15:46] (Flashback) Megumin**
Crimson Demons are renowned for
our wisdom. Perhaps I can help?
**[15:52] Zesta**
*I* certainly wouldn't want
to return empty-handed.
**[15:56] Megumin**
Fine. Let's try one more time.
**[16:00] Megumin**
But I'm going to do it myself this time.
**[16:03] Megumin**
Can you restrain yourself?
**[16:05] Zesta**
I see...
**[16:07] Zesta**
I suppose I'll select the mark, then.
**[16:10] Megumin**
You're even calling them "marks" now.
***SIGN*** KONOSUBA - An Explosion on This Wonderful World!
**[16:12] Zesta**
Well, well...
**[16:17] Zesta**
There, Miss Megumin. Here comes
a pleasant-seeming young girl.
**[16:22] Megumin**
Good grief...
**[16:27] Megumin**
I can't believe I tripped over nothing!
**[16:31] Megumin**
I skinned my knee!
It hurts so much, I can't move!
**[16:35] Megumin**
At this rate, the wound will—
**[16:37] Yunyun**
What are you doing?
**[16:39] Yunyun**
Seriously, Megumin.
**[16:42] Yunyun**
What are you doing?
**[16:56] Yunyun**
What are you doing...
**[16:59] Yunyun**
in the middle of the street?!
**[17:01] Megumin**
Please stop!
**[17:03] Megumin**
Don't roll me like that! Yunyun!
**[17:06] Megumin**
Yunyunyunyunyunyun!
**[17:06] Yunyun**
Meguminminminminmin!
***SIGN*** KONOSUBA - An Explosion on This Wonderful World!
**[17:11] Yunyun**
So, you fall over in the middle of the
street, beg for help, and then what?
**[17:18] Megumin**
I've got questions myself.
What are you doing here?
**[17:20] Yunyun**
Huh?! Well, that's... er....
**[17:23] Megumin**
And why is Chomusuke with you?
**[17:26] Yunyun**
It's just... Chomusuke
has really missed you!
**[17:30] Yunyun**
She's been totally
heartbroken with you gone.
**[17:36] Yunyun**
Look! See? She's so excited
to see you again!
**[17:43] Zesta**
Excuse me, but who are you, and what is
your relationship with Miss Megumin?
**[17:48] Yunyun**
I-I'm Megumin's rival.
**[17:52] Yunyun**
And I've actually been curious...
How do you know Megumin?
**[17:59] Zesta**
You want to know about our relationship?!
**[18:02] Megumin**
This is Zesta, with the Axis Sect.
**[18:04] Yunyun**
The Axis Sect?!
**[18:06] Zesta**
Miss Megumin has been helping
me recruit new members.
**[18:11] Yunyun**
That was your idea... of proselytizing?
**[18:20] Yunyun**
Hey, Megumin, I'm not sure you should stay
here and mess with the Axis Sect much longer.
**[18:26] Megumin**
Believe me, I am fully aware of that fact.
**[18:30] Yunyun**
In that case...
**[18:31] Zesta**
By all means, Miss Yunyun,
make yourself at home.
**[18:35] Yunyun**
O-Okay... sure.
**[18:43] Zesta**
Well, now.
**[18:45] Zesta**
What manner of kink is this?
**[18:49] Lady Knight**
Father Zesta, chief priest
of the Holy Order of Axis.
**[18:52] Lady Knight**
I'm afraid you're wanted for arrest.
**[18:57] Megumin**
What, exactly, is this? Arresting
someone without stating any charges?
**[19:01] Megumin**
That doesn't strike me as very legal.
**[19:03] Yunyun**
Megumin...
**[19:05] Megumin**
What has he supposedly done?
**[19:07] Cecily**
Father Zesta! What did you do this time?!
**[19:11] Cecily**
Didn't we tell you to show some restraint
when playing with yourself?!
**[19:15] Tristan**
And we warned you that sexually harassing the
priestesses of the Eris Sect was going too far!
**[19:19] Tristan**
Or were you going on another public
tirade about how it's unfair that
**[19:23] Tristan**
women can buy men's underpants
without suspicion,
**[19:26] Tristan**
but men can't do the same
without getting dirty looks?
**[19:33] Megumin**
Take him away.
**[19:34] Lady Knight**
We appreciate your cooperation.
**[19:35] Cecily**
Aw! Megumin, you traitor!
**[19:38] Megumin**
Don't make it sound like
I've done anything wrong.
**[19:41] Lady Knight**
You've been charged with
conspiracy to commit treason.
**[19:45] Lady Knight**
Take a look at this.
**[19:49] Megumin**
"A threat is descending upon
the city of Arcanretia."
**[19:53] Megumin**
"Should something seem
off with the hot springs,
**[19:55] Megumin**
be cautious of those in charge
of their management."
**[19:57] Megumin**
"For they are a servant of the Devil King."
**[20:01] Lady Knight**
This info came from the
Crimson Demon Village.
**[20:04] Lady Knight**
I'm sure you're familiar with
their famous fortune teller?
**[20:11] Megumin**
*Don't tell me...*
**[20:13] Lady Knight**
There have been complaints
over the last few days
**[20:15] Lady Knight**
from various inns about the water
quality of the hot springs.
**[20:18] Lady Knight**
Just like the fortune said,
something seems to be happening to the springs.
**[20:22] Lady Knight**
And the Axis Sect is responsible
for managing the water control...
**[20:26] Lady Knight**
Which would imply a connection between
you all and the Devil King—
**[20:30] Zesta**
How dare you, you little wench?!
**[20:32] Zesta**
Don't you know our creed includes,
"Slay the demons, defeat the Devil King"?!
**[20:36] Zesta**
Our order would never do such a thing!
**[20:37] Lady Knight**
Back off!
**[20:38] Lady Knight**
Or do you want obstruction of justice
and lewd conduct added to your charges?!
**[20:42] Zesta**
I'll shut your foolish
mouth with a big smooch!
**[20:44] Zesta**
Smooch!
**[20:45] Lady Knight**
Take him away already!
**[20:47] Zesta**
This is a conspiracy by the Eris Cult!
Don't be deceived!
**[20:50] Zesta**
They fear my animal magnetism!
**[20:52] Zesta**
They've duped this dimwitted
girl into doing their bidding!
**[20:58] Cecily**
Oh, no! What will become of our
order with Father Zesta gone?
**[21:04] Megumin**
What kind of problems will it cause?
**[21:09] Cecily**
Huh, looks like we'll be okay after all.
**[21:12] Cecily**
I apologize for the fuss.
**[21:14] Cecily**
I do wonder what brought these
accusations on, though.
**[21:19] Megumin**
Yunyun...
**[21:22] Megumin**
You've seemed awfully nervous for a while now.
**[21:25] Yunyun**
Well...
**[21:27] Yunyun**
When I left the Crimson Demon village,
Soketto asked me to do something.
**[21:32] Yunyun**
She saw that this city would be in danger,
**[21:35] Yunyun**
and wanted me to deliver a letter of
prophecy if I was going to Arcanretia.
**[21:40] Yunyun**
And so, well...
**[21:45] Megumin**
In other words, that letter you
brought is what caused all this.

Big trouble, Megumin!

I just want to go back home
to the Crimson Demon village!
**[23:30] Megumin**
The Axis Sect definitely
seems like bad news...

What in the world?! Did she actually

**[00:03] Yunyun**
I was just delivering a letter!
I didn't think it would turn out like this!
**[00:07] Yunyun**
What should we do, Megumin?!
**[00:12] Cecily**
You don't need to worry.
**[00:14] Cecily**
I'm sure Father Zesta is enjoying being
interrogated by that lady knight as we speak.
**[00:19] Cecily**
It'd be rude to ruin his fun.
**[00:23] Cecily**
More importantly, you two wanna
help me with collecting votes?
**[00:28] Cecily**
I'm willing to pay for the labor.
**[00:29] Megumin**
What votes?
**[00:32] Priest A**
Oh, what a sin it is!
**[00:34] Priest A**
Father Zesta was colluding with
the Devil King's army all along!
**[00:37] Priest A**
I beg you all, for our next pontiff,
we must ensure someone more faithful,
**[00:41] Priest A**
such as myself!
**[00:43] Priest A**
Commit now and you'll get a free vial of
holy water that normally costs 10,000 eris!
**[00:48] Tristan**
Should I be named head of the Axis order,
I make the following promises:
**[00:52] Tristan**
One, the legalization of polyandry.
**[00:56] Tristan**
Two, the marriage age
will be further lowered!
**[01:00] Tristan**
Three, even siblings will be eligible,
as long as they love each other!
**[01:04] Priest A**
Vote for the greater good! Vote for me!
**[01:06] Tristan**
No, no, vote for me!
**[01:08] Priest A**
No, you should vote for me!
**[01:09] Tristan**
No, me!
**[01:10] Priest**
No, they should vote for—
**[01:11] Megumin**
Well, they certainly didn't wait long.

**[02:50] Megumin**
Where do these Axis faithful
get all their energy from?
**[02:55] Yunyun**
I think I wanna go back to
the Crimson Demon village.
**[03:00] Cecily**
Here I am!
**[03:03] Cecily**
Here's your ice-cold jelly slime!
**[03:06] Megumin**
Wh-What kind of creepy beverage is this?
**[03:09] Cecily**
It's an Arcanretia delicacy!
**[03:11] Cecily**
The smooth mouthfeel will
get you hooked. Just try it!
**[03:16] Cecily**
These are on me.
**[03:18] Cecily**
And if you convert to the Axis sect...
**[03:21] Cecily**
Well, you probably know the rest by now.
**[03:24] Cecily**
Now that we've done a bit of
sabotage on the nominees,
**[03:28] Cecily**
let's go and talk to the inns
that filed the complaints.
**[03:33] Yunyun**
I'm so relieved, miss! You really
do want to investigate after all!
**[03:36] Cecily**
Please, call me "Big Sister."
**[03:38] Megumin**
Well, if Zesta really is innocent,
**[03:41] Megumin**
it would mean being weighed down by a
guilty conscience from here on out...
**[03:44] Megumin**
For Yunyun.
**[03:45] Yunyun**
No way! That's awful!
**[03:47] Cecily**
Oh, Yunyun, you are so adorable!
**[03:50] Cecily**
You must've felt responsible,
but unsure what to do about it!
**[03:54] Yunyun**
Miss?
**[03:55] Cecily**
If thou art troubled, then instead
focus on enjoying yourself.
**[04:01] Cecily**
Let the path of least
resistance show you the way.
**[04:03] Cecily**
Flow along it, like water.
**[04:05] Cecily**
Do not restrain yourself; let your
instincts guide your actions.
**[04:10] Cecily**
And... call me Big Sister.
**[04:22] Cecily**
Jelly slime!
**[04:24] Yunyun**
What the heck is going on?
**[04:26] Megumin**
And this is supposed to be sabotage
by the Devil King's forces?
**[04:29] Yunyun**
But why would they pour slime
mix into the hot springs?
**[04:33] Megumin**
This has gotten too stupid
already. Can I leave?
**[04:36] Yunyun**
Hang on!
**[04:37] Yunyun**
I get what you mean, but if this is really
what's wrong with the hot springs...
**[04:42] Megumin**
I suppose you have a point.
**[04:44] Cecily**
This is where spring water from the mountains
is collected and flows to the various inns!
**[04:50] Cecily**
And because the Axis order runs it, we get
to do whatever we want around town!
**[04:56] Megumin**
Your order is really pretty awful, isn't it?
**[04:59] Yunyun**
And there are reports that the strangeness
began after Father Zesta visited this place...
**[05:05] Cecily**
Yes, it seems so.
**[05:08] Cecily**
I think he might be guilty after all.
**[05:11] Megumin**
Be that as it may,
**[05:12] Megumin**
ambiguity leaves a bad aftertaste,
so let's make sure we have evidence.
**[05:15] Yunyun**
You probably shouldn't assume he's guilty.
**[05:22] Cop**
You ladies Axis sect?
**[05:24] Cop**
You people are late.
We've already recovered the evidence.
**[05:27] Megumin**
Is it in that bag?
**[05:30] Cop**
A ton of jelly slime mix.
**[05:34] Cop**
Father Zesta was spotted
carrying this bag around.
**[05:38] Cop**
I don't think there's any
way out of this for him.
**[05:41] Megumin**
Even so...
**[05:43] Megumin**
Why would he do something so ridiculous?
**[05:46] Megumin**
If his aim was to ruin the hot springs,
couldn't he have poisoned them instead?
**[05:51] Yunyun**
Poison...
**[05:53] Cop**
The thing is, when someone tells you the
Axis cult pulled something like this,
**[05:57] Cop**
it suddenly makes a lot of sense.
**[06:01] Yunyun**
I mean... he's definitely strange,
but he didn't seem *actually* evil.
**[06:07] Cecily**
It's probably clean if I drink it
directly from the faucet, right?
**[06:10] Cecily**
Right?! Anyone have a cup? And can
any of you use the spell Freeze?
**[06:16] Everyone else**
This is the problem with the Axis cult...
**[06:23] Yunyun**
Do you think Father Zesta really is
involved with the Devil King's army?
**[06:27] Yunyun**
He sure doesn't seem that way.
**[06:33] Megumin**
* I suppose even she's*
* feeling down about this.*
**[06:37] Cecily**
They said I couldn't drink any
because it was evidence...
**[06:40] Cecily**
even though there was so much!
**[06:45] Megumin**
Well, what's done is done.
**[06:48] Megumin**
I'm sure he'll be back better than
ever after paying his debt to society.
**[06:52] Yunyun**
I'm pretty sure the penalty for
conspiracy to commit treason is death.
**[06:58] Zesta**
Well, if apologies were good enough,
wouldn't all of you be out of a job!?
**[07:02] Zesta**
You accused me, the head of
the Axis Religious Order...
**[07:06] Zesta**
Me, of all people!
**[07:09] Zesta**
Of colluding with demoniacal
forces?! Are you mad?!
**[07:13] Lady Knight**
I'm so sorry. So please,
could you leave it at that...
**[07:16] Zesta**
For goodness' sake.
**[07:16] Cecily**
Father Zesta?
**[07:18] Zesta**
Oh, if it isn't Cecily.
**[07:22] Zesta**
You must've been waiting for my release!
**[07:25] Trio**
You were released?!
**[07:27] Zesta**
Are you really that shocked?
**[07:29] Zesta**
It should be obvious I would never
commit such a foolish crime.
**[07:33] Zesta**
Go on, tell them!
**[07:36] Lady Knight**
For mistakenly arresting the honorable
Father Zesta of the Axis Order...
**[07:43] Lady Knight**
I'd like to offer a sincere apology!
**[07:46] Cops**
We apologize, Father Zesta!
**[07:49] Zesta**
That reminds me!
**[07:51] Zesta**
That smug-looking prosecutor in glasses, who
showed up with that lie-detecting magic device...
**[07:56] Zesta**
Please make sure to give her my thanks.
**[08:00] Zesta**
She was the one who cleared
these suspicions up.
**[08:02] Zesta**
And the sight of her cool, confident face
slowly welling up with tears was quite a treat!
**[08:11] Zesta**
If I had my druthers, you'd be crawling at
my feet, giving my toes a good licking...
**[08:20] Zesta**
But I suppose, in my magnanimity,
I'll let you off this time.
**[08:24] Lady Knight**
Th-Th-Thank you for your
generosity in this ma—
**[08:31] Zesta**
If only your brain...
**[08:34] Zesta**
was half as big as those breasts of yours!
**[08:43] Megumin**
But this doesn't actually solve
the problem at hand, does it?
**[08:48] Megumin**
The truth remains that someone has been
pouring that powder into the springs.
**[08:53] Zesta**
Indeed it does.
**[09:13] Megumin**
Well, you certainly inspire
a lot of devotion.
**[09:18] Arnes**
We meet again.
**[09:20] Arnes**
You certainly managed to give
me the slip last time.
**[09:25] Zesta**
What is this?!
**[09:26] Zesta**
Miss Megumin, who is this
scandalously-clad vixen?!
**[09:29] Megumin**
Appearing in the middle of a town like
this... You seem awfully confident.
**[09:34] Megumin**
Are you that desperate to
take Chomusuke from me?
**[09:36] Zesta**
Miss Megumin!
**[09:38] Zesta**
What is your relationship with this woman
who is flaunting her bosom so brazenly?!
**[09:42] Arnes**
Those irritating townsfolk aren't
here to save you this time.
**[09:46] Arnes**
I'd normally just crush you both
and be done with it,
**[09:49] Arnes**
but since Lady Wolbach seems
attached, I'll simply—
**[09:51] Zesta**
Miss Megumin, please, I need to know!
**[09:53] Zesta**
Why is she dressed like such a jezebel?!
**[09:57] Zesta**
And the fact that she's wearing a robe,
as if it hides anything, is indecent!
**[10:01] Zesta**
It's indecent, I say!
**[10:02] Zesta**
And yet, for how indecent it is, there is
also a razor-sharp aesthetic edge to it.
**[10:07] Zesta**
Yes, a bit like the transgressive thrill from
the combination of a swimsuit and a raincoat—
**[10:11] Arnes**
Would you knock it off?!
Who the hell are you?! Buzz off!
**[10:15] Megumin**
I wouldn't provoke her, Zesta.
**[10:18] Megumin**
She's our enemy.
**[10:20] Megumin**
She followed us all the way here
in pursuit of this furball.
**[10:23] Zesta**
Oh, so she's after Chomusuke...
**[10:25] Zesta**
That's a rather whimsical motivation
for such an edgy-looking individual.
**[10:29] Yunyun**
Could you two leave it at that?
**[10:31] Yunyun**
I think you're just angering her further.
**[10:36] Arnes**
All right, worms, if you want
to spare yourselves some pain—
**[10:39] Zesta**
And what should I do if I want
you to hurt me instead?!
**[10:42] Yunyun**
F-Father Zesta!
**[10:44] Arnes**
Then I'll do just that!
**[10:46] Arnes**
Fireball!
**[10:51] Zesta**
Oh... She's a demon girl.
**[10:54] Zesta**
Reflect.
**[11:04] Arnes**
Well, I thought you were
just some old freak,
**[11:07] Arnes**
but that was impressive.
**[11:10] Yunyun**
*Wh-Wh-Wh-What was that?!*
**[11:12] Megumin**
*The old pervert who got arrested did that?!*
**[11:16] Zesta**
A demon girl... So, a demon?
**[11:20] Zesta**
From orcs to ogres, I've always
thought myself open-minded...
**[11:24] Zesta**
But demon girls?
**[11:25] Zesta**
The commandments of the Axis
order forbid appreciating them!
**[11:29] Zesta**
Frustrating though it may be...
**[11:32] Arnes**
And what, exactly, can a human
priest do against me?
**[11:36] Cecily**
He can destroy you.
**[11:48] Arnes**
You have quite the sense of humor.
**[11:50] Arnes**
I am a servant of the great
dark god, Wolbach, and I—
**[11:53] Zesta**
Sacred Highness Exorcism!
**[12:02] Zesta**
I beg your pardon, miss demon girl.
**[12:07] Zesta**
I am the head of the Holy Order of Axis,
**[12:12] Zesta**
the arch priest, Zesta.
**[12:15] Cecily**
Likewise, I am a beautiful priest
of the Axis Order, Cecily.
**[12:21] Zesta**
Sister Cecily, it seems this demon girl
is the perpetrator behind this mess.
**[12:26] Cecily**
I believe so, Father Zesta.
**[12:28] Cecily**
She's the reason you had
to go through that ordeal.
**[12:32] Arnes**
What are you talking about?
**[12:35] Arnes**
What is any of this?
**[12:37] Arnes**
I-I've been looking for
Lady Wolbach ever since I got here!
**[12:48] Zesta**
She's fleeing! After her!
**[12:51] Zesta**
In the name of the Axis Church, make her
rue the day she was born a demon girl!
**[12:56] Cecily**
Right away, sir!
**[12:58] Cecily**
Demons...
**[13:00] Cecily**
...must die!
**[13:03] Arnes**
I'll let you—
**[13:06] Zesta**
It's a demon hunt!
**[13:14] Yunyun**
What was that?
**[13:15] Megumin**
Please, don't ask me.
**[13:18] Zesta**
String her up!
***SIGN*** KONOSUBA - An Explosion on This Wonderful World!
**[13:20] Yunyun**
So... does that take care of everything?
**[13:24] Megumin**
Hard to say. I'd honestly rather not think
about the Axis Sect at all anymore.
**[13:32] Megumin**
What are you going to do now, Yunyun?
**[13:35] Megumin**
I'm headed for the town of Axel.
**[13:37] Megumin**
I heard there's someone there
who can use explosion magic.
**[13:41] Yunyun**
I...
**[13:43] Yunyun**
I-I'm headed to Axel, too. I thought I could
start training against weak monsters.
**[13:50] Megumin**
Well, isn't that a coincidence?
**[13:52] Megumin**
Go on ahead without me, then.
**[13:54] Megumin**
I'll be along once I've earned
enough money for the trip.
**[13:58] Yunyun**
Huh?
**[14:00] Yunyun**
B-But since I'm in no hurry...
**[14:04] Yunyun**
I-I know! Maybe I'll do a bit of sightseeing
around town, and then head to Axel...
**[14:12] Zesta**
Ah, Miss Megumin, you're still here.
**[14:16] Zesta**
That demon was a slippery one, I must say.
**[14:19] Zesta**
I was enjoying her tears so much,
**[14:21] Zesta**
I kept only grazing her with my
magic, which let her escape.
**[14:25] Megumin**
You seem happy about that.
**[14:28] Zesta**
Don't be silly. I'm beside
myself with frustration.
**[14:33] Zesta**
Now, then, Miss Megumin, if you would...
**[14:41] Megumin**
What is it?
**[14:43] Zesta**
The cost of a coach trip to Axel.
**[14:47] Zesta**
The recruitment methods you taught me...
**[14:52] Zesta**
I'm certain they'll come
in handy, yes indeed.
**[14:55] Zesta**
Why, they might even become
an attraction for the town.
**[14:59] Zesta**
Consider that coach fare to
be my way of thanking you.
**[15:02] Zesta**
So, what will you do for today?
**[15:05] Zesta**
Late as it is, I believe there's
still one last departure for Axel...
**[15:12] Megumin**
*I can just go to Axel?*
**[15:14] Megumin**
*I want to go.*
**[15:16] Megumin**
* I want to get there as soon as possible,*
* and tell her about what's happened!*
**[15:20] Megumin**
*Then I want to gather companions,*
**[15:22] Megumin**
* and unleash the explosion magic I've*
* been aching to use for so long!*
**[15:26] Megumin**
I'll head there right away!
**[15:28] Megumin**
Oh, Yunyun, you're going to do
some sightseeing first, right?
**[15:32] Megumin**
I'll just be heading to Axel first, then.
**[15:36] Yunyun**
Aw, come on!
**[15:37] Yunyun**
M-Maybe I've changed my mind?
**[15:40] Yunyun**
If you go now and start training
before me, you'll have an advantage!
**[15:47] Zesta**
Miss Megumin, since it's late,
why not stay the night?
**[15:52] Zesta**
There are many from our order who'd
like to give you their regards.
**[15:56] Megumin**
Now that you mention it,
that's a good point. What should I do?
**[16:01] Zesta**
You could even stay another
week, if you like.
**[16:04] Megumin**
That might be nice!
**[16:17] Cecily**
Isn't the water nice, Megumin?
**[16:20] Cecily**
Bathing with a loli...
**[16:24] Megumin**
Is there a reason that predatory gaze of
yours has been making me feel threatened?
**[16:29] Cecily**
What am I supposed to do?
It's a tiny little bath.
**[16:33] Cecily**
Y'know?
**[16:33] Megumin**
Just know, I fight back when people
try anything strange with me!
**[16:38] Cecily**
Aw...
**[16:39] Cecily**
Actually, there was something
I wanted to tell you in private.
**[16:48] Megumin**
Huh?!
**[16:49] Megumin**
You mean Zesta did it after all?!
**[16:51] Cecily**
That's right. Seems he mixed up the baking
soda and slime mix when cleaning up.
**[16:58] Megumin**
That was it?
**[17:00] Cecily**
Which means it had nothing to
do with demons, after all.
**[17:04] Cecily**
But don't tell anyone else about this, okay?
**[17:07] Cecily**
I want exclusive dibs on this
piece of blackmail bait.
**[17:11] Megumin**
Well, it doesn't really matter now, anyway.
**[17:17] Megumin**
Uh... You're awfully close.
**[17:19] Cecily**
It's a small bath! What can you do?
**[17:23] Cecily**
Y'know, tight as it is, these baths
apparently cost quite a bit to dig.
**[17:29] Cecily**
They apparently hired a skilled mage who
created the holes with rupture magic.
**[17:35] Cecily**
See how nicely they're
shaped in little rings?
**[17:39] Megumin**
Rupture magic?
**[17:41] Cecily**
Apparently. They wanted to
make bigger baths, I heard.
**[17:47] Megumin**
Miss...
**[17:49] Cecily**
What is it?
**[17:51] Cecily**
And I'd be really happy if you
finally said "Big Sister Cecily"
**[17:54] Cecily**
in an adoring voice, instead of just "miss."
**[17:57] Megumin**
Miss!
**[17:58] Megumin**
Let's see... You want a bigger
open-air bath, right?
**[18:03] Cecily**
That would be nice.
**[18:04] Cecily**
Why do you ask? And why are
your eyes sparkling like that?
**[18:11] Megumin**
I can use explosion magic.
**[18:16] Megumin**
Is it okay if I create the largest
bath in this entire city?
**[18:23] Cecily**
Yeah, of course.
**[18:25] Cecily**
In the Axis Order, we believe anything
goes, as long as it's not illegal!
**[18:32] Cecily**
Follow your heart, and fire
away with your magic!
**[18:39] Megumin**
All right, miss.
**[18:41] Cecily**
Call me Big Sister!
**[18:42] Megumin**
Here we go, *miss*!
**[18:51] Megumin**
I've been holding back ever
since I got to Arcanretia.
**[18:57] Megumin**
Explosion!
**[19:32] Zesta**
I must say, I never would've guessed
you could use explosion magic!
**[19:37] Zesta**
I can't thank you enough, Miss Megumin.
**[19:40] Zesta**
A bath that big can fit everyone
in the order at once!
**[19:45] Cecily**
No mixed bathing, Father Zesta.
**[19:49] Zesta**
Well, be that as it may, I hope you'll come
and visit us the next time you're in town.
**[19:54] Megumin**
I think I will.
**[19:56] Megumin**
Once I've found companions, if the
subject of a vacation ever comes up,
**[20:01] Megumin**
I believe we'll come straight here.
**[20:04] Zesta**
May the divine Aqua offer her
protection on your journey.
**[20:09] Zesta**
Blessing.
**[20:16] Yunyun**
U-Um, Father Zesta? Could you
cast that spell on me, too?
**[20:22] Megumin**
His troubles did begin with the
letter you brought, Yunyun...
**[20:25] Yunyun**
No fair! That wasn't my fault!
**[20:30] Megumin**
I didn't do enough to earn
something like this...
**[20:34] Cecily**
It's okay. I'm sure you'll need it.
**[20:40] Cecily**
Just take it! Kids don't
need to be so considerate.
**[20:52] Cecily**
Make good use of those
once you get to Axel—
**[20:57] Driver**
The coach for Axel is leaving!
**[21:02] Megumin**
I'm heading out!
**[21:03] Yunyun**
Wait for me!
**[21:12] Driver**
This coach is now rolling out for Axel!
**[21:20] Megumin**
*The town for beginning adventurers, Axel.*
**[21:23] Megumin**
* I'll make that my base of*
* operations as I gather allies.*
**[21:28] Megumin**
* Ideally, I'd like a party that's a match*
* for me, full of advanced classes.*
**[21:34] Megumin**
*A reliable, courageous leader.*
**[21:37] Megumin**
*A sturdy front-line fighter.*
**[21:39] Megumin**
*A benevolent healer...*
**[21:41] Megumin**
* And me, the one who analyzes*
* situations with her brilliant mind*
**[21:45] Megumin**
*before delivering certain victory...*
**[21:48] Megumin**
*with a single spell!*

**[00:14] Yunyun**
Things sure are peaceful.
**[00:16] Yunyun**
When you see scenery like this,
**[00:18] Yunyun**
it's hard to believe the Devil King's army
is causing trouble in the capital.
**[00:23] Megumin**
If things proceed with no trouble, we should
be in Axel in time for lunch tomorrow.
**[00:29] Yunyun**
I know they taught you not to say stuff
that sets flags like that at school!
**[00:33] Yunyun**
It was even in a collection
of phrases to avoid!
**[00:35] Megumin**
I wouldn't worry.
**[00:36] Megumin**
By my calculations, we have less than a
0.1% chance of being attacked by monsters.
**[00:42] Yunyun**
I just told you to stop!
**[00:44] Yunyun**
You're doing this on purpose, aren't you?
**[00:46] Megumin**
I honestly don't think there's
anything to worry about.
**[00:50] Megumin**
Most monsters wouldn't dare
attack a group this large.
**[00:53] Yunyun**
I-I guess you're right.

**[02:34] Yunyun**
Hey, Megumin, let me sit by the window, too.
**[02:38] Megumin**
You are so excited.
That's rather childish, Yunyun.
**[02:42] Yunyun**
But we agreed to swap spots every
hour, and you haven't budged once!
**[02:47] Megumin**
I've only experienced about
ten minutes of time passing.
**[02:51] Yunyun**
What sense does that make?!
**[02:52] Megumin**
Wow! A bunch of Lizard Runners are
fighting over a female by racing!
**[02:56] Megumin**
Let's see which one comes out on top!
**[02:57] Yunyun**
Come on, switch with me!
**[02:59] Yunyun**
Come on, come on, come on, come on,
switch, please! I wanna see, too!
**[03:02] Megumin**
Would you please control yourself?!
**[03:04] Girl**
Miss, would you like to switch seats with me?
***SIGN*** KONOSUBA - An Explosion on This Wonderful World!
**[03:17] Girls's mother**
Are you two headed for Axel?
**[03:19] Yunyun**
Y-Yes.
**[03:20] Girl's mother**
If that's where you're going, I take
it you both want to be adventurers?
**[03:25] Megumin**
Yes, I do.
**[03:28] Megumin**
Wait, Yunyun, are you planning
on becoming an adventurer?
**[03:31] Megumin**
You mentioned training before...
**[03:33] Yunyun**
I-I guess so? That's probably
the way to go about it...
**[03:37] Megumin**
First thing will be finding
companions, then.
**[03:40] Megumin**
That's a must for us.
**[03:43] Yunyun**
I-I-It can be kind of inconvenient
on your own, yeah.
**[03:47] Yunyun**
S-So, Megumin...
**[03:49] Yunyun**
W-Would...
**[03:51] Megumin**
Having two spell casters in the same
party is a bit unbalanced, though.
**[03:56] Yunyun**
R-Right? It wouldn't be balanced!
**[03:59] Megumin**
Here's hoping we can both find good parties.
**[04:03] Yunyun**
Y-Yeah! Here's hoping! That'd be nice.
**[04:08] Girl's Mother**
You girls seem like such good friends.
**[04:11] Megumin**
We've just been stuck together, that's all.
**[04:13] Girl's Mother**
Those red eyes...
Are you two Crimson Demons?
**[04:16] Girl's Mother**
I wouldn't worry. You'll have
your pick of the crowd in Axel.
**[04:20] Girl**
Crimson Demons?
**[04:21] Girl's Mother**
They have a lot of magic power,
and use really amazing magic!
**[04:25] Girl**
Wow, you're amazing?
**[04:27] Megumin**
Indeed!
**[04:29] Megumin**
I, in particular, am an arch wizard known as
the foremost prodigy among the Crimson Demons!
**[04:33] Megumin**
Even if we come under monster attack,
you can consider yourselves in good hands!
**[04:42] Yunyun**
Seriously... I keep asking you not to set—
**[04:48] Adventurer 3A**
We've got monsters!
**[04:50] Yunyun**
What did I tell you?!
**[04:52] Yunyun**
I asked you not to set flags like that!
**[04:54] Megumin**
Th-This is not my fault!
**[04:56] Adventurer 3A**
Sorry to bother you!
**[04:58] Adventurer 3A**
You girls are Crimson Demons, right?
**[05:00] Adventurer 3A**
We could use your help!
**[05:02] Adventurer 3A**
There are lot of monsters out here.
**[05:04] Adventurer 3A**
We could use help from some
Crimson Demon masters!
**[05:07] Megumin**
"Master"?!
**[05:09] Megumin**
Very well! I'll make quick
work of these monsters!
**[05:12] Yunyun**
Wha—Why are you suddenly so fired up?!
**[05:15] Megumin**
He called us masters! It makes
us sound like expert bodyguards!
**[05:19] Adventurer 3A**
All right, masters, we're counting on you!
**[05:21] Adventurer 3J**
There's a whole bunch of them, but they
should be a cinch for masters like you!
**[05:24] Megumin**
We're fighting for the dignity
of the Crimson Demons.
**[05:29] Megumin**
Come, let the battle be joined!
**[05:35] Megumin**
I am called Megumin! Let all who wish
to be reduced to a crater step—
**[05:47] Adventurer 3A**
That's a giant earthworm, a weak monster!
**[05:50] Adventurer 3J**
Its attacks are weak, but it's
resilient and hard to kill.
**[05:54] Adventurer 3J**
As long as you don't get swallowed whole—
**[05:59] Megumin**
Nightfall that foretells the final
twilight of all creation...
**[06:04] Megumin**
Let the imprisonment of annihilation—
**[06:05] Yunyun**
H-Hang on!
**[06:07] Yunyun**
I get how you feel, I really do,
**[06:09] Yunyun**
but you'll hit everyone else, too!
**[06:11] Megumin**
Please, let me go! Let me
obliterate these freaky things!
**[06:14] Megumin**
It's looking right at us!
It's heading this way!
**[06:17] Yunyun**
I-I-I'll figure something out!
**[06:19] Megumin**
It's coming right for us!
**[06:21] Yunyun**
Fireball!
**[06:26] Adventurer 3A**
With a single attack? Damn!
**[06:29] Adventurer 3A**
This should be easy!
**[06:31] Adventurer 3A**
There are lots more left,
so we're counting on you!
**[06:42] Megumin**
M-M-M-Monsters like this are no match
for a sorcerer of my caliber!
**[06:48] Megumin**
Guess I'll go protect the coach...
**[06:52] Yunyun**
Can't a sorcerer of your caliber
do something about this?!
**[06:55] Yunyun**
Ew! There are so many!
**[06:57] Yunyun**
Come on, Megumin!
Please, Megumin! Don't leave—
**[07:10] Adventurer 3A**
Now that was a performance
worthy of a Crimson Demon.
**[07:12] Adventurer 3J**
Tell me about it.
**[07:14] Yunyun**
N-No, it wasn't anything special...
**[07:15] Owner**
You've been a genuine
lifesaver, Miss Yunyun.
**[07:19] Owner**
I'd love to thank you once we reach Axel.
**[07:22] Yunyun**
I-I didn't do that much...
**[07:25] Owner**
Here you go, Master! Eat plenty
and recover your magic power!
**[07:30] Yunyun**
Th-Thank you very much.
**[07:33] Adventurer 3A**
I gotta say, your magic was
really something, Yunyun!
**[07:36] Adventurer 3J**
Maybe you should start calling
yourself the foremost spell caster
**[07:40] Adventurer 3J**
among the Crimson Demons!
**[07:45] Girl**
Are you okay, miss? Were you hurt?
**[07:48] Megumin**
Oh, no.
**[07:50] Girl**
Hey, you're actually stronger
than the ribbon lady, right?
**[07:55] Megumin**
That's right.
**[07:56] Girl**
Then we'll be okay even if more,
stronger monsters show up!
**[08:00] Megumin**
Indeed! If that happens, I'll show
you magic that guarantees victory!
**[08:05] Girl**
I can't wait to see that!
**[08:23] Megumin**
What are you doing?
**[08:25] Yunyun**
Megumin.
**[08:26] Yunyun**
I'm... helping keep watch.
**[08:29] Megumin**
Is that right?
**[08:33] Yunyun**
Hey, I did a pretty good job today, right?
**[08:38] Megumin**
Are you mocking my complete
lack of contribution?
**[08:42] Yunyun**
N-No!
**[08:44] Yunyun**
It's just, y'know, I didn't stand
out much in the village, right?
**[08:49] Megumin**
Correct. I often wondered if you were
using a Lurk skill, to be honest.
**[08:55] Yunyun**
You are just...
**[08:57] Yunyun**
Well, my point is, after helping out today
and having people rely on me...
**[09:04] Yunyun**
I feel a little more confident.
**[09:14] Yunyun**
I wanted to wait until I learned
advanced magic before asking, but...
**[09:19] Yunyun**
Hey, Megumin, if you don't
mind... would you...
**[09:24] Yunyun**
like to join me in a—
**[09:33] Megumin**
Well, she sure was carried away with ease.
**[09:36] Megumin**
Do you think it'd work in a dating context?
**[09:37] Yunyun**
Obviously not!
**[09:39] Adventurer 3A**
Giant Bats! It's a whole
colony of Giant Bats!
***SIGN*** KONOSUBA - An Explosion on This Wonderful World!
**[09:49] Megumin**
That was a close one.
**[09:51] Yunyun**
M-Magic power... No more magic power...
**[09:58] Megumin**
Well done.
**[10:00] Megumin**
You certainly stole the show, didn't you?
**[10:02] Yunyun**
Could you... help out... a little?
**[10:05] Owner**
You've saved us all again, Miss Yunyun!
**[10:10] Adventurer 3A**
If you're going to Axel, that means
you're looking for a party, right?
**[10:14] 3A/3J**
Would you care to join ours?
**[10:17] Yunyun**
H-Huh?
**[10:18] Megumin**
Looks like your party problem
has already been solved.
**[10:21] Megumin**
Good for you.
**[10:23] Yunyun**
B-But I...
**[10:26] Adventurer 3J**
What was the other Crimson Demon girl doing?
**[10:29] Adventurer 3J**
She was just loafing around
this afternoon, too...
**[10:29] Yunyun**
Since we're both Crimson Demons...
And we know each other pretty well...
**[10:32] Owner**
I'm sure she was just
protecting the carriages.
**[10:35] Adventurer 3J**
But don't you think she would've
fired off at least one spell?
**[10:36] Yunyun**
Plus, you're gonna be all
alone at this rate...
**[10:39] Yunyun**
If you don't mind, Megumin,
**[10:41] Yunyun**
I wouldn't have any problems with
us being in the same party...
**[10:44] Megumin**
I'm going to bed now.
**[10:46] Yunyun**
Would you just listen to me?!
**[10:48] Yunyun**
Megumin!
**[11:01] Megumin**
Such bad manners.
**[11:03] Yunyun**
I don't have all my magic power back
yet... What do you want from me?
**[11:07] Girl**
Some more monsters attacked
last night, right?
**[11:11] Girl**
Did you fight, too?
**[11:12] Megumin**
I'm something of a weapon
of last resort, you see.
**[11:16] Megumin**
I'll be up once a real threat appears!
**[11:19] Megumin**
Which is why I had my underling
clear out the weaklings last night.
**[11:23] Yunyun**
I'm not your underling!
**[11:25] Megumin**
But I'm pretty certain there won't
be further monster attacks.
**[11:29] Megumin**
Why, I'd wager we're more likely to see
jelly slime rain from the sky first.
**[11:33] Yunyun**
Seriously, cut it out.
**[11:35] Yunyun**
Haven't you ever heard "If it happens
twice, it can happen a third time"?
**[11:39] Megumin**
Ever the worrywart, Yunyun.
**[11:43] Adventurer 3J**
G-Goblins! It's a gaggle of goblins!
**[11:45] Adventurer 3A**
Let the master know!
**[11:46] Owner**
Get her, quickly!
**[11:48] Adventurer 3J**
You're up, master!
**[11:49] Owner**
Master! Master! Master!
***SIGN*** KONOSUBA - An Explosion on This Wonderful World!
**[11:53] Yunyun**
Here we go...
**[12:03] Yunyun**
N-No more... I seriously can't keep this up...
**[12:08] Megumin**
A force like this stood little
chance against us Crimson Demons.
**[12:11] Yunyun**
Don't try to sum it up like you helped!
Not when I'm totally exhausted!
**[12:17] Megumin**
So many attacks in such
a short period of time...
**[12:21] Megumin**
Still, we're nearly to
our destination, Axel.
**[12:25] Megumin**
We should be able to relax from here on out.
**[12:28] Yunyun**
When you say stuff like that...
**[12:30] Arnes**
Cursed Lightning!
**[12:36] Megumin**
Wh-What was that?!
**[12:41] Arnes**
You seem awfully tired.
**[12:44] Arnes**
This time, Lady Wolbach is coming with me!
**[12:52] Yunyun**
Arnes!
**[12:53] Megumin**
Obstinate to a fault.
**[12:55] Megumin**
This cat's name is Chomusuke, and it's mine.
Why not just give up already?
**[12:59] Arnes**
You're the only one who
should give anything up.
**[13:01] Arnes**
And since we've already made an exchange,
**[13:04] Arnes**
if you refuse to return Lady Wolbach,
you should give my money back.
**[13:08] Megumin**
I-I-I-I will not be extorted
by the likes of you!
**[13:11] Megumin**
The Axis sect taught me that it's totally
fine to ignore and otherwise break
**[13:15] Megumin**
any kind of bargains involving demons!
**[13:18] Yunyun**
That was low, even for you.
**[13:21] Arnes**
This is why humans can't be trusted.
**[13:24] Arnes**
There used to be a service where we
would exchange services for souls,
**[13:30] Arnes**
but you people would always come
up with some ridiculous excuse
**[13:32] Arnes**
to get out of paying after
your wish was granted...
**[13:36] Arnes**
Or you would ask for something
ridiculous in the first place.
**[13:39] Arnes**
Humans should live more honest lives!
**[13:44] Megumin**
Didn't expect a demon to
take the moral high ground.
**[13:47] Arnes**
Honestly, the money wouldn't
make a difference.
**[13:50] Arnes**
I have a mission that means I must take Lady
Wolbach back, by any means necessary.
**[13:59] Arnes**
Say your prayers.
**[14:00] Adventurer 3J**
Surround her!
**[14:06] Arnes**
Stand aside.
**[14:11] Arnes**
I have no use for you pests.
**[14:15] Yunyun**
I-I won't let you hurt them!
**[14:18] Arnes**
Spare me the transparent bravado.
**[14:21] Arnes**
I've already confirmed your
magic power is spent.
**[14:25] Megumin**
Then those giant worms,
and all the other monsters...
**[14:29] Arnes**
You noticed?
**[14:31] Arnes**
Yes, those were just my
way of paying you back!
**[14:34] Megumin**
Damn you! People thought I was
useless because of that!
**[14:41] Arnes**
Yes, that's what I've been wanting to see!
**[14:44] Arnes**
After the humiliation
you've put me through...
**[14:48] Arnes**
It's time to finally settle the score!
**[14:51] Megumin**
That's one thing we agree on!
**[14:53] Megumin**
And now you're going to taste my fury!
**[14:56] Arnes**
How, exactly?
**[14:57] Arnes**
You're a runt who can't even use magic.
**[15:01] Arnes**
A little more clever than
most, but that's all.
**[15:05] Arnes**
A runt—no, less than that. You're useless!
**[15:08] Arnes**
A Crimson Demon in name only!
**[15:11] Yunyun**
Megumin isn't useless!
She's way more amazing than me!
**[15:15] Yunyun**
Sh-She'll defeat you!
**[15:17] Arnes**
The useful one is out of magic power,
**[15:20] Arnes**
and I don't sense any useless
men that can darken my day.
**[15:23] Arnes**
There is no chance at all of a Crimson
Demon-in-name-only having a chance
**[15:27] Arnes**
against me at my best—
**[15:29] Megumin**
I wouldn't say that.
**[15:31] Megumin**
Saying things like "There's no way
I can lose" sets a flag, apparently.
**[15:35] Megumin**
A clichéd one spouted by only the
most pitiful weaklings, at that.
**[15:39] Arnes**
Where's this bluster come from?
**[15:40] Megumin**
You think I'm all talk?
Then I'll have to show you otherwise!
**[15:46] Megumin**
You need Chomusuke no matter what, right?
**[15:50] Megumin**
Well, if you want her so bad...
**[15:58] Megumin**
Go get her!
**[16:05] Yunyun**
What is wrong with you?!
**[16:06] Arnes**
Lady Wolbach!
**[16:15] Arnes**
Light of dawn that pierces the gray.
**[16:18] Arnes**
Breath of giants that sweeps the wilderness.
**[16:20] Arnes**
In accordance with my pact,
let the crimson sinner—
**[16:23] Yunyun**
Don't! Stop!
**[16:26] Megumin**
Get off me! You're keeping me from
blowing away that chunky demon!
**[16:30] Yunyun**
No! You're gonna blow Chomusuke away, too!
**[16:32] Megumin**
She's my familiar!
**[16:34] Megumin**
It's natural that she be
sacrificed to save her master!
**[16:37] Megumin**
We can make a grave later—
**[16:38] Yunyun**
I am not letting go! Never!
Megumin, you monster!
**[16:46] Arnes**
O my dark goddess,
mistress of sloth and violence...
**[16:50] Arnes**
From beyond the seven doors of the abyss,
**[16:52] Arnes**
grant me the power to sink the sky!
**[17:02] Megumin**
Huh?
**[17:03] Megumin**
That bracelet...
**[17:07] Megumin**
That's one of my father's!
**[17:10] Megumin**
Thank you for your purchase!
**[17:22] Arnes**
Is it this?
**[17:23] Arnes**
Is it because of this thing?!
**[17:25] (Flashback) Parents**
Thanks for your purchase!
**[17:30] Arnes**
You wretch...
**[17:33] Arnes**
You're *their* daughter?!
**[17:40] Yunyun**
You stupid, stupid, stupid Megumin!
**[17:43] Yunyun**
You made it even worse!
**[17:44] Megumin**
I-I'm just trying to be a
grateful Crimson Demon!
**[17:47] Arnes**
I will never let you escape!
**[17:49] Arnes**
I'll see your soul reduced to cinders!
**[17:52] Yunyun**
There's nothing we can do about that!
**[17:57] Yunyun**
Oh god, or gods! Goddess of luck, Eris!
**[18:01] Megumin**
You're a Crimson Demon!
Pray to a destroyer god or something!
**[18:04] Arnes**
Cowardly and repugnant humans!
You will pay for your sins!
**[18:09] Yunyun**
Gods, if we can all survive this,
**[18:12] Yunyun**
I swear I'll find a way to teach Megumin
how to act like a human being!
**[18:15] Yunyun**
I'm begging you—
**[18:16] Megumin**
Cut that out! The world isn't convenient
enough for that kind of last-minute nonsense!
**[18:20] Yunyun**
Please! Please, save us!
**[18:22] Yunyun**
The nameless evil god sealed in
the village! Destroyer gods!
**[18:26] Yunyun**
And divine Eris!
**[18:28] Yunyun**
Even the goddess of water, Aqua!
**[18:43] Arnes**
Wh-What is this incredible magic power?
**[18:45] Arnes**
No... it's a divine aura.
**[18:52] Arnes**
So much divinity... I-It couldn't be...
**[18:56] Arnes**
I-Impossible!
**[19:00] Arnes**
Ow.
**[19:16] Arnes**
Wh-What?
**[19:18] Arnes**
That's...
**[19:21] Megumin**
The greatest and most
powerful spell of all...
**[19:23] Megumin**
Explosion magic.
**[19:26] Arnes**
Well, I should apologize for
saying you're all talk.
**[19:31] Arnes**
Why don't you tell me your name, young lady?
**[19:34] Megumin**
I am called Megumin!
**[19:36] Megumin**
The foremost prodigy and spell caster
among Crimson Demons,
**[19:40] Megumin**
wielder of explosion magic!
**[19:44] Arnes**
I see.
**[19:45] Arnes**
You really are an oddball, aren't you?!
**[19:48] Arnes**
Cursed Lightning!
**[19:52] Megumin**
Explosion!
**[20:23] Megumin**
This hell ends now, Arnes!
**[20:34] Arnes**
*Forgive me, my mistress.*
**[20:39] Arnes**
*But I know you will be restored one day.*
**[21:10] Yunyun**
M-Megumin!
**[21:23] Master**
Now that was quite the display!
**[21:26] Master**
Yes, I was certain all along that you
were a master magus, Miss Megumin!
**[21:33] Megumin**
Oh, of course. I truly am the foremost
Crimson Demon spell caster.
**[21:39] Girl**
You really are amazing,
lady! That was so cool!
**[21:46] Girl**
Thank you for saving my
mom and everyone else!
**[21:52] Megumin**
Sure.
**[21:56] Megumin**
What is it? Why are you staring?
**[22:01] Yunyun**
You really are impressive, Megumin.
**[22:04] Megumin**
What brought that on?
**[22:06] Yunyun**
Because it's true.
Beating a demon like that...
**[22:12] Megumin**
It should be obvious that I'm impressive.
**[22:16] Yunyun**
Y'know, I think you should forget
about that stuff I said last night.
**[22:23] Megumin**
What?
**[22:23] Yunyun**
D-Don't get me wrong! It's not that
I don't want to be in the same party!
**[22:29] Yunyun**
It's just that...
**[22:31] Yunyun**
I feel like I'm just gonna be
in your way at this rate.
**[22:36] Yunyun**
Which is why...
**[22:38] Yunyun**
I'm going to train a lot, and once I learn
advanced magic, then we can settle things!
**[22:45] Yunyun**
And then...
**[22:47] Megumin**
That's fine by me.
**[22:50] Megumin**
Granted, no amount of training
**[22:52] Megumin**
will result in anything other than
you crying tears of frustration.
**[22:56] Yunyun**
Keep talking!
**[22:57] Yunyun**
I'm gonna get so strong,
you'll be asking for my help!
**[23:04] Driver**
There it is, folks!
**[23:11] Yunyun**
This is where it starts for us.
**[23:16] Megumin**
The town for beginner adventurers, Axel!

**[23:25] Yunyun**
Big trouble, Megumin...
**[23:27] Yunyun**
Finding companions is seriously big trouble.
**[23:29] Megumin**
It seems making your debut as an adventurer
is more complicated than I imagined.
**[23:31] Megumin**
How is having powerful magic a problem?!
**[23:34] Yunyun**
Usability, for one thing.
**[23:35] Yunyun**
N-Next time, we'll hit your ennui with an...
**[23:38] Megumin**
Explosion!

**[00:02] Kazuma**
This is a load of crap!
**[00:03] Kazuma**
How is someone from modern times
supposed to sleep in a stable?!
**[00:06] Aqua**
And you think this is what I wanted?!
**[00:09] Aqua**
Well, we don't have any money,
so we've got no options!
**[00:13] Kazuma**
Damn it all! This isn't the kind
of life I wanted to live here!
**[00:17] Aqua**
I should be saying that!
**[00:27] Megumin**
Listen well, Yunyun.
**[00:29] Megumin**
At times like these, the first
impression is crucial.
**[00:32] Megumin**
Given that we are newcomers, and
young, we will be looked down upon.
**[00:36] Megumin**
So when the door opens, we must
declare ourselves in a grand fashion!
**[00:39] Yunyun**
Do we have to? It's gonna
draw so much attention.
**[00:42] Megumin**
We are doing it in order
to attract attention!
**[00:44] Megumin**
Crimson Demons cannot be
the target of derision!
**[00:47] Megumin**
Come, off we go!
**[00:49] Yunyun**
I hope we don't get mixed
up with any scary people...
**[00:55] Megumin**
I am called Megumin!
**[00:57] Megumin**
Foremost spell caster among Crimson Demons,
**[00:59] Megumin**
and wielder of... explosion...
**[01:06] Yunyun**
S-So embarrassing!

**[02:41] Megumin**
Apparently, there's a bulletin board at the
Adventurer's Guild for soliciting party members.
**[02:46] Megumin**
We should ask how to accept
quests while we're at it.
**[02:49] Yunyun**
Good idea. We'll need to start by accepting
quests to cover our daily necessities,
**[02:54] Yunyun**
and we need companions to do that.
**[02:59] Luna**
Oh! What brings you two by so early?
**[03:02] Megumin**
H-Hello there.
**[03:03] Megumin**
My name is Megumin, and I'm an arch wizard.
**[03:06] Megumin**
So... this is my first time
seeking work as an adventurer,
**[03:10] Megumin**
and I'm not quite sure what to do.
**[03:12] Luna**
Oh, those eyes...
You're Crimson Demons, aren't you?
**[03:15] Luna**
I believe you create your
adventurer's card at school, right?
**[03:20] Luna**
I can explain how we use it
over at the reception desk.
**[03:31] Megumin**
Excuse me! Is it okay if I get
the explanation a bit later?
**[03:36] Luna**
Well, I suppose that's fine...
**[03:38] Yunyun**
Wait, Megumin, you're not gonna hear her out?
**[03:41] Yunyun**
I'm gonna go ahead and hear about it now.
**[03:44] Megumin**
Not a problem. I believe I'll wait
until there are more people around.
**[03:53] Yunyun**
E-Excuse me...
**[03:59] Megumin**
This should do nicely.
**[04:03] Luna**
Next person in line, please.
**[04:06] Luna**
Oh, it's the Crimson Demon from before.
**[04:08] Megumin**
It's as you say. I am a Crimson Demon!
**[04:11] Megumin**
Starting today, I will be
operating in this town,
**[04:14] Megumin**
so I have come for an explanation
of the adventurer's card!
**[04:16] Adventurers**
A Crimson Demon?
**[04:18] Adventurers**
I've never seen one before.
**[04:19] Luna**
If you'll let me examine
your card for a moment...
**[04:23] Luna**
O-Oh, my!
**[04:24] Luna**
This is remarkable!
Crimson Demons live up to their reputation.
**[04:27] Luna**
Your intelligence and magic
power stats are incredible!
**[04:31] Megumin**
*Yes, this is what I was after!*
**[04:33] Megumin**
* Now the adventurers of this town*
* won't dare look down on me!*
**[04:37] Luna**
Not quite as much as the
woman from yesterday,
**[04:39] Luna**
but your magic power is
definitely remarkable.
**[04:42] Luna**
Here you go. The card is the genuine article,
and there's no criminal record mentioned.
**[04:46] Luna**
You'll be able to accept work from now on.
**[04:49] Megumin**
Wait, hang on. "Not as much
as the woman from yesterday"?
**[04:53] Megumin**
You're saying there's someone with
even more magic power than me?!
**[04:58] Luna**
Yes. I helped her register as an adventurer...
**[05:02] Luna**
But her intelligence was too low
to qualify for any mage classes.
**[05:07] Luna**
I believe she ended up as an arch priest.
**[05:12] Megumin**
An arch priest...
**[05:16] Roughneck**
Hey. Haven't seen you around before.
**[05:20] Roughneck**
You looking for a crew?
**[05:23] Megumin**
Indeed I am.
**[05:26] Roughneck**
You're gonna want to avoid those two, then.
**[05:29] Roughneck**
With them, all the luck in the
world couldn't save your skin.
**[05:33] Adventurer 2**
He's right about that. Keep away from them.
**[05:36] Adventurer 1**
And one's an Axis cultist, of all things.
**[05:38] Adventurer 1**
She'd be pretty promising if every word
out of her mouth wasn't so obnoxious.
**[05:41] Adventurer 2**
She's probably shouting that nonsense
because she's an Axis cult priestess.
**[05:46] Adventurer 2**
Anyway, you wanna join our party?
**[05:48] Adventurer 1**
Whoa, hang on, no fair! I get to ask first!
**[05:50] Adventurer 3**
Our party has two members with advanced
classes! What do you think?
**[05:53] Unmarked Ad Libs**
We've got advanced classes, too.
She'd fit in great with us.
**[05:54] Unmarked Ad Libs**
Our old wizard suddenly switched
classes, so we're kind of at a loss...
**[06:05] Ryze**
My name's Ryze, and I'm a warrior!
**[06:08] Ryze**
This is my little sister, Laina.
**[06:10] Laina**
I'm a thief. Nice to meet you.
**[06:12] Megumin**
My name is Megumin. It's a pleasure.
**[06:16] Siblings**
That's your real name?
**[06:17] Megumin**
Indeed it is, and if you've got a
problem with that, let's hear it.
**[06:21] Ryze**
No! It's not a problem at all.
**[06:23] Ryze**
Come to think of it,
you *are* a Crimson Demon.
**[06:26] Laina**
R-Right. I think it's a lovely name.
**[06:29] Ryze**
You're sure about wanting
to join up with us?
**[06:31] Ryze**
I would've thought you'd prefer a
party with more advanced classes...
**[06:34] Megumin**
The bigger the share of
the rewards, the better.
**[06:37] Megumin**
Don't worry! Consider yourselves in good hands.
**[06:40] Ryze**
You sound pretty confident! That's reassuring.
**[06:43] Laina**
Yeah!
**[06:44] Megumin**
I noticed there was a quest for
exterminating chestnut rats posted.
**[06:47] Megumin**
For now, let's go through a simple quest,
and see how we work together as a party.
**[06:52] Megumin**
Consider it a bit of a trial period!
**[06:59] Megumin**
I'm almost out of money from paying
off the chestnut trees I blew up...
**[07:29] (Flashback) Megumin**
What do you think?
**[07:30] (Flashback) Laina**
Well, where do I begin?
**[07:33] (Flashback) Laina**
I don't think rookie adventurers like us
**[07:35] (Flashback) Laina**
could provide you with the kind of
opportunities you deserve, Megumin!
**[07:39] (Flashback) Ryze**
R-Right, exactly!
**[07:40] (Flashback) Ryze**
You have this incredible explosion magic.
**[07:43] (Flashback) Ryze**
You'd be wasting your
potential in our party!
**[07:47] (Flashback) Megumin**
I don't mind, really.
**[07:49] (Flashback) Megumin**
We can all take our time growing together.
**[07:52] (Flashback) Ryze**
No, we couldn't! Besides,
we're only a duo, and just starting out.
**[07:55] (Flashback) Ryze**
It was a presumptuous to try
and recruit a Crimson Demon!
**[07:59] (Flashback) Laina**
Exactly! It's, like, a question of balance?
We're just not on your level!
**[08:13] Bar Owner**
How do you not know what a saury is?!
**[08:15] Bar Owner**
What kind of life have you even lived?!
**[08:17] Bar Owner**
All I asked was for you to grab two saury
from the field behind the guild hall!
**[08:21] Kazuma**
Screw you, old timer!
**[08:23] Kazuma**
You think you can mess with me just
because I'm a kid who's new in town?!
**[08:26] Bar Owner**
Put a sock in it! And what the hell
has your little buddy been doing?!
**[08:29] Bar Owner**
Serving my customers that damned water!
**[08:31] Bar Owner**
Where the hell is the booze I gave you?!
Did you drink it all?! Is that it?!
**[08:35] Aqua**
I-It's not like that! My fingers
just happened to touch the liquor!
**[08:38] Aqua**
I have a condition!
**[08:40] Aqua**
The truth is, I'm the water goddess—
**[08:41] Megumin**
I'll have Yunyun treat me to dinner.
**[08:42] Bar Owner**
You're both fired!
**[08:50] Yunyun**
H-Hello!
**[08:51] Yunyun**
It's a pleasure to meet you. My name is Yunyun.
**[08:54] Yunyun**
I'm an arch wizard, but can only
use intermediate magic so far...
**[09:00] Megumin**
What kind of attitude is that?
**[09:02] Megumin**
And here I thought I could
do a favor for one of my kin,
**[09:05] Megumin**
who was sulking by herself in the corner
of a pub, by sharing a meal with her.
**[09:08] Yunyun**
Food? You want to eat with me?
**[09:12] Megumin**
It's only been one day so far. A bit
too early to start getting depressed.
**[09:16] Megumin**
Ma'am! One salt-grilled saury dinner special!
**[09:19] Yunyun**
M-Make it two!
**[09:24] Megumin**
Now, then...
**[09:26] Megumin**
Let's try one of these today.
**[09:31] Yunyun**
*"Looking for party members.*
**[09:33] Yunyun**
* Wanted: kind people, people who*
* will listen to boring stories,*
**[09:37] Yunyun**
*people who won't laugh at silly names,*
**[09:39] Yunyun**
* people who want to hang out*
* even if there are no quests.*
**[09:41] Yunyun**
* Preferably close in age.*
* All classes accepted.*
**[09:44] Yunyun**
*I am an arch wizard and—"*
**[09:54] Megumin**
This is for Yunyun's own good.
**[09:58] Megumin**
Now, then...
**[10:00] Megumin**
"Searching for a blonde-haired,
blue-eyed noble girl."
**[10:04] Megumin**
That is quite the reward!
**[10:06] Megumin**
Maybe I'll pursue it once I get
closer to running out of money.
**[10:11] Megumin**
This one is soliciting for...
**[10:13] Megumin**
A spell caster!
**[10:18] Ein**
I see. So you're Megumin.
**[10:20] Ein**
That's a Crimson Demon
name if I ever heard one.
**[10:22] Ein**
We're counting on you.
**[10:24] Megumin**
It's a pleasure to join you.
**[10:25] Ein**
For now, let's—
**[10:26] Darkness**
Just you wait, demon of the forest!
**[10:27] Darkness**
I don't care what manner of
shame is waiting for me.
**[10:30] Darkness**
I am going to slay you!
**[10:32] Chris**
Come on, how many times do you plan on
getting covered head to toe in goop?!
**[10:36] Darkness**
In the name of the divine Eris,
I am going to slaughter that demon!
**[10:40] Chris**
Oh, you're all sticky!
**[10:41] Chris**
Maybe you should get changed first? Come on!
**[10:42] Darkness**
Don't mind me.
**[10:43] Darkness**
Don't mind me—
**[10:43] Chris**
Come on! Please!
**[10:45] Ein**
Well, there's a feisty pair.
**[10:48] Lott**
Demonic monsters have been
spotted in the area lately.
**[10:52] Lott**
We're supposed to be hunting
one of them, but...
**[10:57] Ein**
Come on, we've got a Crimson Demon
mage with us. We'll be fine.
**[11:01] Megumin**
Indeed, you will!
**[11:02] Megumin**
Demon or not, I'll defeat whatever
it is in a single blow!
**[11:15] Megumin**
Explosion!
**[11:34] Ein**
Damn, you Crimson Demons really earn
your reputation! I'm impressed.
**[11:38] Ein**
You actually took out a slime, with all
its magic resistance, in one shot.
**[11:42] Lott**
I dunno how to say this...
I owe you an apology.
**[11:45] Lott**
I figured you were one of those mages
that were all talk. I'm sorry.
**[11:51] Megumin**
No, there's actually something
I should come clean about.
**[11:55] Megumin**
The apologies can wait until after that.
**[11:59] Megumin**
The truth is, the explosion magic you saw
earlier is the only spell I can cast.
**[12:03] Megumin**
In other words, I can only use
that spell, and only once a day.
**[12:07] Megumin**
It's excellent for foes like the
one from this afternoon, but...
**[12:12] Megumin**
Does your party really contend with
those kinds of threats every day?
**[12:17] Ein**
And you have... no other spells?
Like intermediate magic?
**[12:20] Megumin**
I do not.
**[12:22] Lott**
Well, even if you don't,
**[12:25] Lott**
we could help you level up, and then
maybe learn some intermediate magic to—
**[12:30] Megumin**
I have no intention of
learning any skills that won't
**[12:32] Megumin**
maximize the potency of my explosion magic.
**[12:37] Ein**
Sorry, but... you're gonna
need to find another party.
**[12:44] Megumin**
I thought I should've let
them know early on...
**[12:48] Megumin**
Could it be that I am not,
in fact, a prodigy?
**[12:52] Audience 1**
Damn!
**[12:53] Audience 2**
How did she do that?! I've never
seen a trick like that before!
**[12:56] Audience 1**
Hey, I want in on this!
Gimme one of those bananas!
**[12:59] Audience 2**
Same here!
**[13:00] Audience 3**
I want some!
**[13:01] Audience 3**
Two bunches for me!
**[13:03] Kazuma**
Thank you so much!
**[13:04] Kazuma**
Hey, if this keeps up, we'll hit our quota easy!
**[13:07] Kazuma**
Come on, hand over those bananas that
you hid. Let's make some money!
**[13:10] Aqua**
What are you talking about? I made
them disappear. They're gone.
**[13:14] Aqua**
Come on, hand me some new
bananas that we can sell!
**[13:18] Kazuma**
Are you freaking kidding me?!
Stop spouting nonsense!
**[13:20] Kazuma**
Bananas, now—
**[13:22] Fruit Stand Owner**
You're fired!
**[13:23] Aqua Unmarked Ad Lib**
Hang on a sec—
**[13:23] Unmarked Ad Lib**
Gimme my bananas back!
**[13:25] Unmarked Ad Libs**
You sure you didn't count them wrong?
**[13:27] Unmarked Ad Libs**
You'd better not have eaten them!
**[13:28] Kazuma Unmarked Ad Libs**
We need this money!
**[13:29] Unmarked Ad Libs**
What did you say?!
**[13:30] Aqua Unmarked Ad Libs**
We're sleeping in the damned stables!
**[13:32] Unmarked Ad Libs**
I don't care!
**[13:33] Kazuma Unmarked Ad Libs**
This is your fault, you useless goddess!
**[13:39] Yunyun**
Oh, welcome back, Megumin!
I've got some bananas. Want any?
**[13:48] Yunyun**
So, how'd it go today?
Did you find a nice party yet?
**[13:52] Megumin**
No. We took on a quest together, but...
**[13:55] Megumin**
They said that I was wasted on a party like
theirs, and they declined me joining them.
**[14:01] Yunyun**
I see. Well, your magic is powerful,
but only useful in certain situations.
**[14:06] Megumin**
What about you, Yunyun? Any takers?
**[14:09] Megumin**
You've been posting on
the bulletin board, right?
**[14:11] Yunyun**
Someone did. But I'm not so sure...
**[14:14] Yunyun**
He was obviously about as old as my dad,
**[14:19] Yunyun**
but he said, "We're about
the same age, aren't we?
**[14:21] Yunyun**
Leave it to me! I'll keep
you safe, sweetheart."
**[14:26] Yunyun**
Your turn, Megumin.
**[14:28] Megumin**
You turned him down, right?
You had to have, yes?
**[14:32] Yunyun**
W-Well, yeah...
**[14:34] Yunyun**
But he was willing to chat
with me and bought me lunch,
**[14:39] Yunyun**
and he seemed really nice.
**[14:40] Yunyun**
And he said he wanted
to talk again sometime.
**[14:43] Yunyun**
And that's check.
**[14:45] Megumin**
If I back off, her Swordmaster
can charge in...
**[14:49] Megumin**
But this piece is within
her Archer's range, so...
**[14:53] Yunyun**
Do you think people are avoiding us
because of how young we are?
**[14:58] Megumin**
I haven't seen many mages around town,
**[15:02] Megumin**
so there should be plenty of demand...
**[15:05] Megumin**
No other options. Teleport!
**[15:09] Yunyun**
You underestimated me because the
Adventurer is the weakest piece, didn't you?
**[15:13] Yunyun**
Well, this one is changing
classes to Swordmaster!
**[15:15] Yunyun**
Looks like the game's just about over!
**[15:22] Megumin**
Explosion!
**[15:24] Megumin**
Come now, Yunyun, let's get to bed
so we can be ready for another day!
**[15:28] Yunyun**
Hey! Don't sleep already!
You didn't let me avenge my loss!
**[15:32] Yunyun**
Aw come on, no fair!
Let's play again! Again!
**[15:33] Megumin**
*Tomorrow, I* will *have my companions.*
**[15:41] Megumin**
Explosion!
**[15:56] Megumin**
* For this entire week, I've been joining and*
* completing quests with assorted parties...*
**[16:02] Megumin**
*And every time,*
**[16:04] Megumin**
* once the job is done, they put me*
* at arm's length and break our contact.*
**[16:09] Megumin**
* It seems a mage who can only use*
* explosion magic is of little use.*
**[16:14] Megumin**
*They're acting like I'm not needed...*
**[16:17] Megumin**
*Me... the child prodigy...*
**[16:21] Megumin**
*Me...*
**[16:23] Megumin**
They're treating *me* like that!
**[16:29] Bossman**
You again?!
**[16:33] Megumin**
My apologies. I'll be in need
of your help again today.
**[16:40] Bossman**
You get the amount of work it takes
to fill these craters, right?
**[16:44] Bossman**
Use that spell of yours further away from
town next time, on a strong monster.
**[16:49] Megumin**
After using my magic, I'm rendered
immobile due to magic power depletion.
**[16:49] Aqua**
Unbelievable! Why is a divine
water goddess like me
**[16:52] Aqua**
having to do infrastructure crap like this?!
**[16:53] Megumin**
If I were unable to move
while far away from town,
**[16:55] Aqua**
It doesn't even have anything to do with water!
**[16:55] Megumin**
I'd be devoured by a swarm
of monsters in short order.
**[16:57] Kazuma**
Because we've run out of
jobs that don't involve
**[16:58] Kazuma**
sweating our asses off under the
glaring sun! Besides, it's easy!
**[16:59] Megumin**
That's just how explosion magic works.
**[17:01] Aqua**
I wanna do sales again!
Let me try one more time!
**[17:01] Bossman**
That magic of yours sure
doesn't sound very convenient.
**[17:04] Bossman**
Come to think of it, that poor
shopkeeper could use it, too.
**[17:04] Aqua**
I think I've got it figured out this time!
**[17:06] Kazuma**
Where is all this confidence coming from?!
**[17:07] Megumin**
What poor shopkeeper?
**[17:09] Bossman**
She runs a famous magic item shop in town.
**[17:09] Kazuma**
Quit whining already and get to work!
**[17:12] Kazuma**
It's time to surpass our physical limits!
**[17:13] Bossman**
Used to be an adventurer.
**[17:14] Aqua**
Ew! You're a shut-in NEET!
Where is all this positivity coming from?!
**[17:15] Bossman**
I heard she was a hell of a spell caster,
with a hell of a rack to boot...
**[17:18] Bossman**
But doesn't have a clue
about running a business.
**[17:19] Kazuma**
I am not...
**[17:22] Megumin**
Finally, a clue to her whereabouts.
**[17:31] Bossman**
Well, if I were you, I'd scare up some
companions before anything else.
**[17:38] Megumin**
At least now... I know I can
see her when I'm ready.
**[17:45] Megumin**
But first, I need to sort myself out
as a proper adventurer in this town!
**[18:05] Lady Adventurer**
Down this goes...
**[18:08] Megumin**
Excuse me.
**[18:09] Lady Adventurer**
Y-Yes?! How can I help you?!
**[18:11] Megumin**
I was hoping to get a look at
the notice you just took down.
**[18:15] Lady Adventurer**
I'd rather you didn't.
**[18:17] Megumin**
Give it!
**[18:21] Megumin**
"Spell caster classes wanted.
No magic specification necessary."
**[18:24] Megumin**
Well, this certainly is convenient!
**[18:27] Megumin**
I just so happen to be a mage
who's free at the moment...
**[18:30] Lady Adventurer**
S-Sorry, the position's been filled!
**[18:32] Lady Adventurer**
Just a few moments ago, actually...
**[18:34] Lady Adventurer**
That's why I was taking it down—
**[18:37] Megumin**
I've had enough of these excuses.
**[18:40] Megumin**
What is this? Some sort of
explosion magic prejudice?
**[18:42] Megumin**
Has the entire guild decided to cancel me?
**[18:47] Megumin**
What are you doing?! Quit it!
**[18:49] Luna**
What's all this about?! Settle down!
**[18:54] Luna**
Megumin, you can't be
fighting in the guild hall!
**[18:58] Luna**
If you're going to fight, take it outside!
**[19:01] Megumin**
Fine.
**[19:02] Man**
I'm begging you!
**[19:04] Man**
Even a date would be fine... just
for an hour! Even thirty minutes!
**[19:09] Yunyun**
But that's not really what I'm here for...
**[19:12] Man**
Please! Please! Please! Please!
**[19:15] Man**
You're the only one I can turn to, Yunyun!
**[19:20] Yunyun**
I-In that case... I guess just
a little while would be fine...
**[19:24] Man**
Really?!
**[19:28] Megumin**
Like hell it would!
**[19:31] Megumin**
What in the world are you doing?!
**[19:33] Yunyun**
B-But he said he needs money, and a
fake girlfriend, for his sick mom...
**[19:37] Megumin**
Those are obviously total lies!
**[19:39] Megumin**
Just how easily duped can one girl be?
**[19:42] Megumin**
What else?! Have any other weirdos made
bizarre requests of you while I was gone?
**[19:47] Yunyun**
N-Nothing bizarre, no.
**[19:50] Yunyun**
But the old man who's
always day drinking here
**[19:53] Yunyun**
asked me to start calling him "Daddy,"
and offered me some allowance money...
**[19:59] Megumin**
And you took it?!
**[20:00] Yunyun**
No. I actually gave him some of mine,
since he seemed to be down on his luck...
**[20:05] Megumin**
You gave him money?!
**[20:07] Yunyun**
Wh-What else could I have done?
**[20:09] Yunyun**
He's drinking here by himself every single day!
**[20:12] Yunyun**
When he talked to me, he said he was
gathering alms for the Axis sect...
**[20:16] Megumin**
Why do you even have that?!
Throw it away right now!
**[20:22] Megumin**
Unbelievable!
**[20:24] Megumin**
I tried leaving you be, hoping it'd help
you grow out of your awkwardness,
**[20:27] Megumin**
but it's gotten so much worse, you're
approaching a dangerous threshold!
**[20:32] Megumin**
Then again, there's my own lack of funds
**[20:34] Megumin**
and difficulty in finding
adventuring companions...
**[20:38] Megumin**
I've got it!
**[20:40] Megumin**
What do you say? Until we
each find new party members,
**[20:45] Megumin**
we could temporarily form a party.
**[20:49] Yunyun**
What?!
**[20:51] Megumin**
I only offered to form a party.
**[20:54] Megumin**
Why are you so shocked?
**[20:57] Yunyun**
S-Say, Megumin...
**[20:59] Yunyun**
Do you remember what I told
you the other day? Y'know...
**[21:03] Yunyun**
About us settling things once
I've learned advanced magic?
**[21:08] Megumin**
Oh, when you were mumbling in
the coach after I beat Arnes?
**[21:13] Megumin**
What of it?
**[21:15] Yunyun**
"What of it"?
**[21:17] Yunyun**
How could you?!
**[21:20] Yunyun**
Did that promise seriously
just slip off your brain?!
**[21:24] Yunyun**
Is your memory shot?! Have the shock waves
from explosion magic ruined your brain?!
**[21:28] Megumin**
I have no idea what you're talking about!
**[21:30] Megumin**
Let's take on some quests and earn money,
**[21:33] Megumin**
or we won't even be able
to afford lodging tonight!
**[21:38] Yunyun**
W-Wait, are we about to
be stuck in the stables?
**[21:43] Luna**
Megumin! Yunyun!
I can't have you fighting in here!
**[21:50] Crimson Demons**
Miss...
**[21:52] Crimson Demons**
We need work!

Big trouble, Megumin!
**[23:26] Yunyun**
This is a town full of beginners,
but a serious threat just appeared!
**[23:29] Megumin**
A striking performance here will have
people begging us to join them!

It's time to make everyone who cast

**[00:14] Host**
What the hell was I thinking when I said I'd
become that freaky little kid's familiar?
**[00:22] Host**
The town of Axel... I'm pretty sure
that's where I can find Lady Wolbach.

**[02:00] Yunyun**
Fireball!
**[02:12] Yunyun**
It's 5,000 eris for each one,
so this 15,000 total.
**[02:16] Yunyun**
Two more and we'll get a bonus of 10,000...
**[02:20] Megumin**
We should move on to the woods.
**[02:22] Yunyun**
Already?
**[02:23] Megumin**
Fighting these bottom-feeders isn't
doing much to raise our levels.
**[02:27] Megumin**
I believe we should focus on efficiency.
**[02:33] Kazuma**
H-Hey there, boss man...
**[02:37] Kazuma**
See you tomorrow.
**[02:38] Aqua**
See you tomorrow, boss man!
**[02:42] Kazuma**
Hey, you wanna look for a
different job tomorrow?
**[02:46] Kazuma**
I don't think I'm cut out for manual labor.
**[02:48] Aqua**
What are you whining about now?
This is the problem with you shut-in NEETs.
**[02:51] Kazuma**
I am not.
**[02:52] Aqua**
Nothing good comes of quitting
a job you just got.
**[02:54] Aqua**
Come on, let's take our pay,
wash off in the bath,
**[02:57] Aqua**
eat something yummy, and give
it another shot tomorrow!
**[03:00] Yunyun**
Megumin? Something wrong?
**[03:03] Megumin**
Oh, no.
**[03:09] Yun**
Stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid,
stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid!
**[03:13] Yun**
How stupid do you have to be to pick a fight
**[03:15] Yun**
with a huge colony like this,
just for the payout?!
**[03:17] Megumin**
Just who are you calling stupid?!
**[03:19] Megumin**
Are you trying to start a fight?!
**[03:20] Megumin**
Very well! Consider that challenge accepted!
**[03:23] Megumin**
Duck and cover, Yunyun!
**[03:26] Megumin**
Explosion!
**[03:33] Host**
Hey, human. You alive?
**[03:41] Host**
Looks like you're awake.
**[03:43] Megumin**
Yes...
**[03:55] Host**
So, I'm looking for a giant,
ebon magic beast and—
**[04:00] Host**
You... Those eyes...
**[04:04] Host**
I am called Host!
**[04:06] Host**
And I am not a giant goblin,
but a high-ranked demon,
**[04:10] Host**
and he who will be in the employ
of a certain kid someday!
**[04:15] Host**
How'd you like my little introduction?
**[04:18] Host**
You Crimson Demons love this kinda...
**[04:26] Luna**
You encountered a high-ranked
demon in the woods?
**[04:29] Yunyun**
Yes. He said he was looking for
a giant, ebon magic beast...
**[04:33] Luna**
I think I might know what he's talking about.
**[04:36] Luna**
It's a very dangerous monster
that's called a Rookie Slayer.
**[04:40] Megumin**
Why would this demon be
searching for it, though?
**[04:46] Luna**
I appreciate you two sharing this with me.
**[04:49] Luna**
This is a very dangerous situation...
**[04:55] Yunyun**
This sure has escalated, hasn't it?
**[04:59] Megumin**
We ran into him at an unfortunate time.
**[05:02] Megumin**
Considering I had just spent
all my magic power...
**[05:04] Megumin**
Otherwise, I could have given
him a rather incendiary hello!
**[05:08] Yunyun**
Stop it! I don't think there's
any beating that thing.
**[05:11] Yunyun**
That demon seems like he could
even withstand explosion magic.
**[05:15] Megumin**
Should I interpret that as a challenge?
**[05:18] Megumin**
Very well! Let's change our plans for
tomorrow and head back to the woods—
**[05:22] Yunyun**
No way! I am not going back to the woods!
**[05:24] Yunyun**
If you want to do it, do it yourself!
**[05:29] Adventurer A**
We need a priest for our group!
**[05:31] Adventurer B**
Any mages around? If you can make
potions, we could use your help!
**[05:36] Wiz**
I've got some complimentary potions here.
**[05:38] Adventurer C**
What a relief!
**[05:41] Wiz**
Since the entire guild is getting
involved, I wanted to help out.
**[05:45] Adventurer C**
You might not do a lot of business, pretty
lady, but your potions really hit the spot.
**[05:48] Adventurer D**
If you're feeling generous, how about a date?
**[05:52] Adventurer E**
Huh? All gone already?
**[05:54] Wiz**
I'll head to the shop and bring some more!
**[05:56] Adventurer E**
Guess we'll eat first.
**[05:58] Adventurer F**
We're counting on you!
**[06:00] Wiz**
I'm gonna need to buy more ingredients...
**[06:02] Wiz**
Guess I'll be eating bread crusts and
drinking sugar water for a while.
**[06:06] Megumin**
Things seem quite lively!
**[06:08] Yunyun**
Well, the guild wants to
hunt this demon down...
**[06:12] Yunyun**
Wait, Megumin! What are you so excited about?
**[06:14] Yunyun**
You saw how scary he was!
**[06:16] Yunyun**
We don't even get monsters that
dangerous back home at the village!
**[06:20] Megumin**
If you're feeling worried,
by all means, you can wait here.
**[06:24] Megumin**
They're offering a reward just
for participating in the hunt.
**[06:27] Megumin**
There's no way I'm missing an
opportunity to get paid just for
**[06:31] Megumin**
hanging around at the back of a crowd.
**[06:33] Yunyun**
Well, i-if you're going,
I can't let you do it alone...
**[06:37] Megumin**
Did you say something? I'm sure you did.
**[06:39] Megumin**
Go on, let's hear it a bit more loudly!
**[06:42] Yunyun**
I know you heard me!
**[06:44] Yunyun**
You heard me and just want me
to say it again, don't you?!
**[06:47] Megumin**
Granted, I'm not purely
in this for the reward.
**[06:52] Megumin**
Think for a second.
A striking performance here
**[06:55] Megumin**
will have people begging *us* to join their
parties, and not the other way around.
**[06:59] Megumin**
We'll be fighting off offers!
**[07:08] Yunyun**
Fireball!
**[07:18] Rex**
Well, damn!
**[07:19] Terry**
Impressive.
**[07:21] Sophie**
Isn't that girl... you know, the one
**[07:23] Sophie**
who's always playing cards
in a corner of the guild?
**[07:26] Megumin**
Very impressive, Yunyun.
**[07:31] Adventurer Voice**
What the?!
**[07:33] Adventurer Voice**
Clear a path!
**[07:35] Rex**
It's him! The hero with the cursed
sword who was taking point!
**[07:39] Mitsurugi**
Let me down! I can still fight!
**[07:42] Mitsurugi**
I can't give up... Not now!
**[07:44] Fio**
Please, don't talk!
**[07:48] Mitsurugi**
I'm not done... I can still fight!
**[07:48] Rex**
A hero with a cursed sword got beat...
**[07:51] Rex**
It's no good. There's no way we can do this!
**[07:52] Mitsurugi**
Put me down!
**[07:53] Adventurer F**
It's as strong as one of the
Devil King's Army generals!
**[07:55] Adventurer F**
Retreat!
**[07:57] Adventurer E**
Retreat now! Everybody, fall back!
**[07:59] Mitsurugi**
Please! Damn it!
**[08:06] Luna**
I've been informed how
the hunt went, everyone.
**[08:10] Luna**
It seems this is quite the dangerous foe.
**[08:13] Luna**
And the famed cursed sword adventurer
has apparently been seriously injured.
**[08:17] Rex**
The bottom line is, if he got beaten
that badly, none of us stand a chance.
**[08:22] Adventurer C**
You guys are the toughest party
in town! Is it really that bad?
**[08:26] Terry**
Well, a couple dozen from our main
fighting force have been injured,
**[08:29] Terry**
and even with the priests using
healing magic and potions on them...
**[08:33] Sophie**
It'll be a while before we can try again.
**[08:35] Adventurer A**
So what now?! We just wait around
for this thing to kill us?!
**[08:39] Adventurer B**
Is there really nothing we can do?
**[08:41] Luna**
I can think of one possible solution!
**[08:44] Luna**
There's someone who registered
as an adventurer recently...
**[08:47] Luna**
And, apparently, Axel is now
host to an expert exorcist
**[08:51] Luna**
with the rare class of arch priest!
**[08:54] Rex**
What?!
**[08:55] Terry**
You mean the one said to be
the natural enemy of all demons?
**[08:58] Terry**
Wait, if they just registered,
they'd still only be level 1, right?
**[09:02] Luna**
But here's the interesting thing.
**[09:04] Luna**
With a few exceptions, all of
her stats are off the charts!
**[09:08] Luna**
Not only that, but she's
such a gifted arch priest,
**[09:11] Luna**
she already knows all the class skills!
**[09:13] Rex**
Are you serious?
**[09:14] Sophie**
She may even be able to beat that demon...
**[09:17] Luna**
The only problem is, I haven't
seen her around the guild lately.
**[09:20] Luna**
I think she's still in town, but...
**[09:22] Rex**
Hey, what's she look like?!
**[09:24] Rex**
We've gotta find this arch priest,
so give us a description!
**[09:28] Luna**
She has striking blue hair...
**[09:31] Luna**
and beauty akin to a goddess!
**[09:42] Yunyun**
They all ran off, huh?
**[09:44] Yunyun**
What do you think?
Should we look for her, too?
**[09:47] Megumin**
They seem desperate enough
to find her in short order.
**[09:51] Megumin**
I'm feeling exhausted, for some reason...
**[09:53] Yunyun**
Really?
**[09:55] Yunyun**
I think I'll stick around a bit longer.
**[09:58] Megumin**
Oh, I see. Waiting to be scouted
by another party, is that it?
**[10:02] Yunyun**
That's not it, I swear!
**[10:04] Megumin**
Sure, sure, just don't stay
out too late tonight.
**[10:07] Yunyun**
Got it! Don't worry, I'll be back before dawn.
**[10:11] Megumin**
Sooner than that, please!
**[10:14] Adventurer (30s)**
Find the blue-haired goddess!
**[10:19] Aqua**
Hey!
**[10:21] Aqua**
Would you pay attention?! Thanks to you,
**[10:25] Aqua**
I dropped my pay, and now that's
10,000 eris all over the ground!
**[10:28] Aqua**
Hurry and pick it up already!
**[10:30] Aqua**
And if I find any missing,
you'll be making up the difference!
**[10:33] Adventurer L**
L-Look, I'm sorry.
**[10:35] Adventurer L**
But that definitely doesn't
look like a whole 10,000 eris.
**[10:39] Adventurer L**
Wait, your hair...
**[10:41] Aqua**
What?! You got a problem?
**[10:44] Adventurer L**
It couldn't be...
**[10:46] Adventurer L**
*She's kinda shabby-looking, too...*
**[10:48] Adventurer L**
* And I doubt high-ranked clergy*
* would try to scam someone like this.*
**[10:52] Aqua**
You say something?!
**[10:53] Adventurer L**
No! And anyway, I'm in a hurry!
**[10:55] Adventurer L**
You can have this, so let me go!
**[10:59] Aqua**
Awesome! I really used my head this time!
**[11:02] Aqua**
Come on, help me pick up the
cash that's on the ground!
**[11:06] Aqua**
Wait, why are you crying?
**[11:08] Kazuma**
It's just... you're a such a...
**[11:13] Megumin**
No. There's no way that's her.
**[11:23] Cecily**
Welcome home, Megumin!
**[11:26] Cecily**
Would you like to take a bath? Or take me?
**[11:28] Cecily**
Or take the Axis Sect into your life?
**[11:36] Megumin**
There are a lot of questions
I could ask you, miss...
**[11:39] Cecily**
It's Cecily!
**[11:40] Cecily**
I think it's time we consider
moving our relationship
**[11:42] Cecily**
to the stage where we
call each other by name.
**[11:45] Megumin**
What are you doing here, miss?
**[11:47] Cecily**
It's Cecily!
**[11:49] Cecily**
And, well, that's a bit of a long story...
**[11:53] Cecily**
Explaining would be a drag, so let's just
say it was Divine Aqua's providence.
**[11:57] Megumin**
That's no explanation at all.
**[11:59] Megumin**
And how did you even get in
here when it was locked?
**[12:03] Cecily**
To be honest... I'm in need
of your help, Megumin.
**[12:08] Megumin**
I hope you don't think you can fool
me by acting serious all of a sudden.
**[12:11] Cecily**
Father Zesta heard the
goddess Aqua's holy voice.
**[12:16] Cecily**
"My name is Aqua."
**[12:18] Cecily**
"Yes, the patron deity of the
Axis Order, Aqua the goddess!"
**[12:23] Cecily**
"And if you believe in me..."
**[12:25] Cecily**
"I'd appreciate it if I could
borrow some money!"
**[12:28] Cecily**
...it said.
**[12:29] Megumin**
Well, every bit of that sounds suspicious.
**[12:32] Cecily**
Not only that, but he heard the
voice from right here in Axel.
**[12:36] Cecily**
And so, the Axis Order's beautiful priest
**[12:39] Cecily**
was dispatched to investigate
the source of this oracle.
**[12:44] Megumin**
Your sect really must have
nothing better to do.
**[12:49] Cecily**
But after coming here, I think I understand
part of what the oracle was about.
**[12:54] Cecily**
I hear this place is being threatened
by the enemies of our order—a demon.
**[12:59] Cecily**
So I've come to interpret the oracle
**[13:02] Cecily**
as orders for me to use the
order's funds to hire people
**[13:05] Cecily**
so that they can kill the demon
who has appeared in this town.
**[13:09] Megumin**
That seems like a very
liberal interpretation.
**[13:12] Megumin**
And could you move, please?
**[13:15] Megumin**
This is my room, and that's my bed—
**[13:19] Cecily**
The first thing that came to mind
after getting to town was...
**[13:23] Cecily**
the help of one who'd been our ally before...
**[13:26] Cecily**
and that's you, Megumin.
**[13:28] Megumin**
Whatever! I don't care anymore!
Just get out of there, now!
**[13:31] Cecily**
There are so few Axis faithful in town!
**[13:34] Cecily**
The local church is barely functioning,
**[13:36] Cecily**
so I can't afford to hire anyone else!
**[13:38] Megumin**
I don't care! I sincerely don't care!
**[13:41] Megumin**
And I would rather have nothing
to do with you people ever again!
**[13:44] Megumin**
And for pity's sake,
stop trying to sniff my sheets!
**[13:47] Megumin**
Stop panting!
**[13:49] Cecily**
I have 5,000,000 for you
**[13:52] Cecily**
if you'll help me find the arch priest
that's supposed to live here.
**[13:59] Cecily**
And if we slay the demon,
I'll make it 10,000,000.
**[14:04] Megumin**
I'm in.
**[14:08] Adventurer 3E**
Hey, any luck? You find her?
**[14:10] Adventurer 4H**
Nothing! Although I did see a drunk
street performer with blue hair.
**[14:15] Adventurer 4H**
Damn it, where did that amazing
blue-haired arch priest get to?
**[14:20] Megumin**
Do you really think it's
likely we'll find someone
**[14:24] Megumin**
that they've already scoured the town for?
**[14:28] Megumin**
We're dealing with an arch priest.
Could she be praying in a church?
**[14:33] Megumin**
Or maybe she's at a public cemetery,
helping lost souls find rest?
**[14:39] Cecily**
If it were me...
**[14:41] Cecily**
First, I'd rush the public bath so
that I can get in before anyone else,
**[14:44] Cecily**
then munch on some fried frogs
washed down with crimson beer,
**[14:49] Cecily**
then get into a brawl with the drunks who
**[14:50] Cecily**
lash my luscious body
with their lascivious looks,
**[14:53] Cecily**
and finally toss rocks at the local
Eris church, and go home satisfied!
**[14:57] Megumin**
I was a fool to even ask you.
**[15:00] Cecily**
Come on, Megumin!
**[15:02] Cecily**
We can search tomorrow! Tonight,
let's hit the baths together!
**[15:06] Cecily**
We can wash each other!
**[15:08] Megumin**
I can go home if you don't intend to find her.
**[15:11] Cecily**
What is this?
**[15:13] Megumin**
I thought it was extremely unlikely
that such a powerful arch priest
**[15:17] Megumin**
would be a member of the Axis sect,
so visiting an Eris church might be—
**[15:20] Cecily**
Open the hell up!
**[15:22] Cecily**
We know you're hiding this arch priest
that can take care of this demon hunt!
**[15:26] Cecily**
Open the damn door unless
you want it kicked in!
**[15:29] Eris Order Voice**
There's no one like that there!
**[15:31] Eris Order Voice**
This church reserves the right to bar
members of the Axis sect from entering!
**[15:34] Eris Order Voice**
Please leave, now!
**[15:37] Cecily**
Megumin, you're up. Go ahead and
obliterate this church, please.
**[15:42] Megumin**
I will do no such thing!
**[15:45] Megumin**
This is already annoying enough. Please
don't make it any more complicated...
**[15:54] Cecily**
Strike!
***SIGN*** KONOSUBA - An Explosion on This Wonderful World!
**[15:57] Cecily**
Out!
**[15:58] Megumin**
Are you insane?! What in the world
motivated you to do such a thing?!
**[16:03] Cecily**
To be honest, it is a little odd!
**[16:05] Cecily**
I've been feeling weirdly
excited ever since I got here!
**[16:08] Cecily**
Maybe it's a blessing
from holy Aqua herself?
**[16:11] Megumin**
If that's her idea of a blessing,
**[16:13] Megumin**
then if I ever encounter this goddess Aqua,
the first thing I do will be to attack her.
**[16:32] Megumin**
Wh-What is it?!
**[16:36] Cecily**
Megumin, you seriously screamed, "Hwah!"
**[16:39] Cecily**
How absolutely adorable!
**[16:41] Cecily**
Okay, okay, I'm sorry! I won't do it again!
**[16:51] Megumin**
Shall we turn around on three?
**[16:53] Cecily**
Sounds good. We'll turn
around at the same time,
**[16:56] Cecily**
and if there's anything there,
we fight it together.
**[16:58] Cecily**
Okay?
**[16:59] Megumin**
Understood.
**[17:01] Both**
One, two...
**[17:03] Cecily**
Hey! This isn't what we agreed on!
**[17:05] Megumin**
I should be saying that!
**[17:07] Cecily**
I am technically your boss
on this outing, you realize!
**[17:10] Megumin**
I haven't been paid yet!
**[17:12] Megumin**
And I'm helping you find someone,
not acting as your bodyguard!
**[17:20] Wiz**
Things sure have gotten pretty
lively around Axel lately.
**[17:38] Megumin**
Yunyun...
**[17:44] Yunyun**
Thanks. You're trying to
cheer me up, aren't you?
**[17:56] Yunyun**
I thought about going home, of course!
**[17:58] Yunyun**
It's just, then I thought,
**[18:00] Yunyun**
"What if someone shows up to ask
me to join them after I've left?"
**[18:05] Yunyun**
And then I couldn't leave!
**[18:09] Yunyun**
You seem really tired too, Megumin.
**[18:12] Megumin**
I've just been rather busy...
**[18:14] Rex**
Hey there, Crimson Demon gals.
**[18:17] Rex**
You two are arch wizards, right?
**[18:19] Megumin**
Yes, we are. Can I help you?
**[18:21] Rex**
My name is Rex, and we've cooked
up a pretty great plan.
**[18:26] Rex**
But we're gonna need some
spell casters to pull it off.
**[18:31] Rex**
So, would you like to work with us?
**[18:39] Yunyun**
Sleep!
**[18:51] Rex**
That was really impressive, Yunyun!
**[18:54] Rex**
How about it? You wanna join our party?
**[18:58] Yunyun**
You want me?
**[19:00] Rex**
Well, we can discuss it
in detail back at town.
**[19:03] Rex**
First, let's drag this thing
back and celebrate!
**[19:06] Yunyun**
O-Okay!
**[19:08] Rex**
Since the demon is looking for a black
magic beast, it's gotta be this thing.
**[19:14] Sophie**
Once it's caged up, maybe the demon
will approach us to negotiate.
**[19:18] Megumin**
*Something... seems off about this.*
**[19:23] Host**
There you are!
**[19:27] Host**
What the hell did you punks
do to Lady Wolbach?!
**[19:36] Host**
Lady Wolbach!
**[19:39] Yunyun**
H-Hey, Megumin! Aren't we in
serious trouble right now?!
**[19:42] Megumin**
Shh! Let's evaluate the situation
while slowly getting some distance.
**[19:46] Host**
Whoa, now, this is just a Rookie Slayer.
**[19:51] Host**
Hey, you two!
**[19:53] Host**
I rushed here because I caught the
familiar scent of Lady Wolbach...
**[19:58] Host**
So how come I can smell it on you two?
**[20:01] Megumin**
* I'm certain now. This demon is*
* after my familiar, Chomusuke!*
**[20:07] Host**
Seems to be particularly strong on you, too.
**[20:12] Host**
Well? Care to explain?
**[20:15] Host**
Come to think of it, you're the Crimson
Demons I saw in the forest, right?
**[20:20] Host**
There's no way that you
don't know Lady Wolbach.
**[20:26] Megumin**
Wh-Why do you all seem to call my
Chomusuke this bizarre name, "Wolbach"?
**[20:31] Megumin**
I'm sure you've got the wrong cat!
**[20:33] Megumin**
If you'd like, I can get you
another cute black kitten!
**[20:37] Megumin**
So, please, stop harassing my Chomusuke!
**[20:40] Host**
Chomusuke? What's that supposed to be?
**[20:42] Host**
Actually, I've heard the name before...
**[20:45] Host**
I think the shrimp mentioned it.
**[20:48] Host**
Come to think of it,
you kinda look like her...
**[20:51] Megumin**
What shrimp?
**[20:52] Host**
I don't wanna get into a beef
with any Crimson Demons.
**[20:56] Host**
Think of it as a deal. You hand Lady
Wolbach over, and I won't harm you.
**[21:02] Host**
Or the town, for that matter.
**[21:04] Yunyun**
You expect us to believe a demon?!
**[21:07] Host**
Demons always deliver on a deal.
**[21:10] Host**
They're absolute for us,
and totally unbreakable.
**[21:13] Host**
So, what's it gonna be?
**[21:26] Yunyun**
What do we do? Make a deal with that demon?
**[21:31] Megumin**
I'm not sure yet.
**[21:33] Megumin**
But if handing the furball over actually
resolves this, it might be a good idea.
**[21:38] Yunyun**
You can't believe what that demon says!
**[21:41] Yunyun**
Besides, I know they say
this town is for beginners,
**[21:45] Yunyun**
but there are plenty of proper adventurers.
**[21:47] Yunyun**
I'm sure someone...

Big trouble, Megumin!
**[23:27] Yunyun**
Extremely big trouble!
**[23:28] Megumin**
Crimson Demons accept any
and all challengers!
**[23:30] Megumin**
We're taking him down!
**[23:32] Yunyun**
I think you're cool, Megumin. And amazing.

N-Next time, for your wonderful

**[00:00] Megumin**
And with that being the case, the demon
in question defeated all three of them.
**[00:08] Guild**
What now?!
**[00:11] Unmarked AD**
What are we gonna do?!
**[00:13] Unmarked AD**
Crap... Oh, crap!
**[00:15] Megumin**
Our best option would then be...
**[00:21] Yunyun**
I am not letting you hand Chomusuke over!
That is off the table!
**[00:25] Yunyun**
I'm way too attached to her at this point!
**[00:29] Megumin**
I never said a word about
agreeing to the deal.
**[00:34] Megumin**
Do I really seem the type to
acquiesce when threatened?
**[00:39] Megumin**
Crimson Demons accept
any and all challenges.
**[00:43] Yunyun**
Well, I know you're just shy
of actually being stupid,
**[00:46] Yunyun**
so you must know what kind
of enemy you're facing here.
**[00:48] Megumin**
That was quite a barbed way of putting it.
**[00:51] Megumin**
Regardless, with the arch priest in
question having never been found,
**[00:55] Megumin**
I would say that I'm the only one in town
with the means to deal with this demon.
**[01:00] Yunyun**
Fine, do what you want.
**[01:09] Megumin**
We're... friends, aren't we?
**[01:17] Yunyun**
You want my help?!
**[01:18] Yunyun**
If you think I'll do as you ask just because
you say we're friends, you're dead wrong!
**[01:22] Yunyun**
And yet I can't deny hearing
that made me kinda happy!
***SIGN*** Episode 12: An Explosion on This Wonderful World!
**[01:38] Megumin**
I thought I said you were free
to occupy yourself for a while.
**[01:41] Yunyun**
Well, you went into the inn
after mentioning you were going
**[01:44] Yunyun**
to get funds for your plan, so I was worried.
**[01:48] Megumin**
I have 10,000,000 eris here.
**[01:49] Yunyun**
How in the world did you
make that kind of money?!
**[01:53] Yunyun**
What happened in there?!
**[01:56] Megumin**
I'd rather not say.
**[01:58] Yunyun**
Megumin! You've really crossed a line!
**[02:01] Megumin**
More importantly,
**[02:02] Megumin**
we need to put this war chest to use
and raise our combat efficacy.
**[02:06] Megumin**
Head to the magic item store,
and buy anything that looks useful.
**[02:11] Yunyun**
O-Okay.
**[02:13] Megumin**
Also, we'll need a stuffed black cat toy.
Make sure to buy one.
**[02:17] Yunyun**
A stuffed toy?
**[02:23] Megumin**
These were all made in the
Crimson Demon village.
**[02:27] Megumin**
Oh, excellent work!
**[02:28] Megumin**
This is a Scroll of Concealment!
**[02:31] Megumin**
It should make things simple,
even without front line fighter allies.
**[02:35] Yunyun**
There's also...
**[02:37] Yunyun**
The stuffed black cat you asked for.
**[02:40] Yunyun**
I don't know what you have
in mind for it, but...
**[02:44] Yunyun**
Hey!
**[02:45] Megumin**
And now, with a little bit of time,
**[02:48] Megumin**
Chomusuke's scent will rub
off on the stuffed cat.
**[02:51] Megumin**
We'll use it as bait,
conceal ourselves with the scroll,
**[02:55] Megumin**
and once he arrives in
his ignorance, ka-boom.
**[02:58] Yunyun**
D-Do you really think this plan's gonna work?
**[03:02] Megumin**
We'll have to make it work.
**[03:04] Megumin**
You're not the only one who's grown
attached to this impudent little furball.
**[03:10] Megumin**
Besides, we may have only
worked together briefly,
**[03:13] Megumin**
but this village is full of people
I've gone on adventures with.
**[03:16] Megumin**
And since fuzzy here and I are
responsible for this matter,
**[03:23] Megumin**
I intend to see it resolved in full.
**[03:28] Yunyun**
Recklessly and stubbornly
acting tough, like always.
**[03:31] Megumin**
Pipe down.
**[03:33] Megumin**
It's not like you've changed your timid,
conflict-averse tendencies, either.
**[03:39] Yunyun**
* What has changed is that she's become a lot*
* less selfish and indifferent in the last year.*
**[03:57] Megumin**
*I'm feeling far too awake to sleep.*
**[04:00] Megumin**
* I can't believe I'm actually*
* nervous before a battle...*
**[04:06] Megumin**
I forgot to fire off my
daily explosion magic!
**[04:08] Megumin**
That explains this unease!
How could I have been so careless?!
**[04:11] Yunyun**
Unlock.
**[04:23] Megumin**
*Who would come by so late?*
**[04:26] Megumin**
*What pervert is this?*
**[04:29] Yunyun**
You're asleep, right, Megumin?
**[04:39] Yunyun**
You're really amazing, you know.
**[04:41] Yunyun**
It never even occurred to you to
run from a scary demon like that.
**[04:45] Yunyun**
I think I'd be too anxious
to sleep if I were you.
**[04:49] Megumin**
* This is making it far too awkward*
* to pretend to wake up now.*
**[04:53] Yunyun**
If I'm being honest...
**[04:55] Yunyun**
When you learned explosion magic,
**[04:57] Yunyun**
I had to wonder how the top of our
class could do something so stupid.
**[05:02] Yunyun**
And when I saw you helping with the Axis
sect's ridiculous recruiting in Arcanretia...
**[05:09] Yunyun**
Wow. I was just speechless.
**[05:12] Yunyun**
But...
**[05:14] Yunyun**
But with just the joke
they call explosion magic,
**[05:17] Yunyun**
you were able to slay the Devil
King's minions and defeat Arnes,
**[05:21] Yunyun**
and now you're about to take on this demon.
**[05:28] Yunyun**
I think that's really cool, and incredible.
**[05:38] Yunyun**
But I'm sure you know the truth.
**[05:40] Yunyun**
Even with a Scroll of Concealment,
when you start to cast explosion magic,
**[05:44] Yunyun**
the flow of magic power will
make your position obvious.
**[05:47] Megumin**
* I didn't think that far ahead...*
* and I don't dare admit that.*
**[05:51] Yunyun**
Which is why, y'know... to make
sure I can continue being your rival,
**[05:56] Yunyun**
I'm going to borrow this.
**[06:00] Yunyun**
To be honest, I was at the guild before now,
**[06:04] Yunyun**
and for the first time, I asked
people to form a party with me.
**[06:09] Yunyun**
Rex and his friends.
**[06:10] Yunyun**
When I asked them if they wanted revenge
on the demon, they were happy to agree.
**[06:16] Megumin**
*Weren't they badly injured?*
**[06:19] Yunyun**
I would've been too afraid
to try anything by myself.
**[06:24] Yunyun**
But now, I'm sure...
**[06:26] Yunyun**
I can't let you try this plan
when I know it won't work.
**[06:32] Yunyun**
Because you're my best
friend in the whole world.
**[06:37] Yunyun**
And that's why...
**[06:38] Yunyun**
Sleep.
**[06:48] Yunyun**
Megumin...
**[06:51] Yunyun**
I'm sorry.
**[06:58] Megumin**
Yunyun!
**[07:06] Megumin**
How dare she entrap me like this?!
**[07:09] Megumin**
There is no greater shame for a Crimson
Demon than to have their spotlight stolen!
**[07:14] Megumin**
Well, this simply will not stand!
**[07:17] Megumin**
Miss?!
**[07:19] Megumin**
Sorry, I have a bit of an emergency
situation, and was in a rush.
**[07:21] Megumin**
Some other time, maybe.
**[07:23] Cecily**
What in the world happened?
You look so worried.
**[07:26] Megumin**
Well, I'm not sure how, but Yunyun has
apparently found a party out of the blue...
**[07:31] Cecily**
Oh, would that be the group
with that Rex fellow?
**[07:34] Megumin**
Huh? Yes. How did you know?
**[07:37] Cecily**
Because I healed them!
**[07:41] Megumin**
Huh?
**[07:41] Cecily**
I said I healed them! They were in front
of the church, and obviously in pain.
**[07:47] Cecily**
You should have seen how jealous
the Eris sect was when I did it!
**[07:50] Megumin**
You're responsible for this
annoying turn of events?!
**[07:53] Megumin**
I don't have time for this! I need to go!
**[07:57] Megumin**
Miss, I genuinely do not have
time to fool around right now...
**[08:04] Cecily**
May the divine Aqua offer her protection.
**[08:08] Cecily**
Blessing.
**[08:16] Cecily**
I barely remember the incantations for
anything other than healing magic.
**[08:19] Cecily**
I'm glad it actually worked.
**[08:22] Cecily**
I am a holy woman, in spite of it all.
**[08:25] Cecily**
And I think I've got a
good eye for people, too.
**[08:28] Cecily**
Don't worry. I know you can win.
**[08:30] Cecily**
I mean, how could my adorable,
helpful Megumin lose to some rotten devil?
**[08:36] Megumin**
Miss...
**[08:38] Cecily**
Just this once, it'd be nice
if you'd call me "big sister"!
**[08:44] Megumin**
Well, then, Big Sister Cecily...
**[08:47] Megumin**
I'm off!
**[08:51] Cecily**
Good luck!
**[09:07] Rex**
We'll keep him occupied somehow.
**[09:09] Rex**
You hit him with that magic from before!
**[09:11] Yunyun**
U-Understood!
**[09:12] Host**
Aw, damn it, what the hell?
**[09:15] Host**
You twerps are starting to get on my nerves!
**[09:23] Yunyun**
I have to do it! I have to pull this off!
**[09:25] Host**
Time to die! Inferno!
**[09:29] Yunyun**
Magic Canceler!
**[09:35] Yunyun**
Blade of Wind!
**[09:43] Rex**
That worked! Keep it up!
**[09:45] Yunyun**
Right!
**[09:49] Megumin**
Well, this is a surprise...
They're holding their own.
**[09:53] Megumin**
It'd be one thing if they were in danger,
**[09:55] Megumin**
but crashing the party when the battle
might be won isn't to my liking.
**[10:00] Yunyun**
Lightning!
**[10:06] Host**
I am getting fed up over here.
**[10:08] Host**
This is why I didn't want to
mess with Crimson Demons!
**[10:12] Host**
Damn it, enough's enough.
Time to wrap this up the hard way!
**[10:18] Yunyun**
Everyone, it's time!
**[10:19] Host**
Another little trick?
**[10:22] Host**
Let's see what you've got!
**[10:25] Yunyun**
Flash!
**[10:29] Host**
Demons don't see with their eyes, girlie!
**[10:32] Host**
This trick of yours isn't gonna do squat!
**[10:36] Megumin**
My eyes! My eyes!
**[10:42] Rex**
Damn it, that didn't work. Even though
I know I heard a tiny scream...
**[10:48] Host**
Looks like that leaves just the two of you.
**[10:52] Host**
Any more tricks up your sleeve?
**[10:58] Rex**
Host!
**[11:09] Host**
You think this is gonna buy you time?
**[11:14] Yunyun**
Paralyze!
**[11:18] Host**
I figured a Crimson Demon would know better!
**[11:22] Host**
Paralyze isn't gonna work on a dem—
**[11:25] Yunyun**
I'm well aware that paralysis
magic doesn't work on demons.
**[11:28] Yunyun**
But this magic potion was to
increase the power of my spell.
**[11:32] Yunyun**
Granted, it was a gamble on whether
or not it'd actually work!
**[11:38] Host**
You actually managed to restrain me...
**[11:40] Host**
That must've been one
hell of a magic potion.
**[11:43] Host**
But I bet it took a big chunk
of your magic power, huh?
**[11:48] Host**
Paralyze only lasts for
a few minutes at max.
**[11:51] Host**
You really think you can finish
me off with what you've got left?
**[11:55] Host**
That's why I'll make you an offer.
**[11:58] Host**
How about we both give it a rest for today?
**[12:01] Host**
I'm sure you wanna heal your
buddies on the ground over there.
**[12:05] Host**
If you agree, I promise not to lay
a claw on any of you for today.
**[12:12] Host**
You know that demons don't ever break
promises or bargains, don't you?
**[12:20] Yunyun**
I-I'm willing to consider your offer.
**[12:23] Yunyun**
We can both take our leave for today.
**[12:27] Rex**
Hey, wait!
**[12:28] Terry**
Yunyun, don't worry about us!
**[12:32] Sophie**
We'll be fine.
**[12:34] Sophie**
Just hurry and finish him off!
**[12:37] Yunyun**
I-It's not that... s-see,
the th-th-thing is...
**[12:42] Host**
Wait, hang on a sec. Girl, did you...
**[12:46] Host**
Don't tell me...
**[12:48] Host**
You can't move either, can you?
**[12:57] Host**
You Crimson Demons might be a pain to
deal with, but I like you all the same!
**[13:01] Host**
What kind of goofy spell-casting
makes Paralyze affect the caster?!
**[13:05] Yunyun**
I don't know either, okay?!
**[13:08] (Flashback) Wiz**
This potion is guaranteed to increase the
strength and affected area for Paralyze!
**[13:15] Yunyun**
And then the pretty lady sold
it to me at a great price!
**[13:20] Host**
Oh, what a riot.
**[13:22] Host**
So, now what? Since you gave me a real laugh,
**[13:26] Host**
I'm still willing to let you off
if you wanna make a deal.
**[13:31] Yunyun**
A-Are you trying to pick a fight with me?!
**[13:34] Yunyun**
C-Crimson Demons always
accept a-all challenges!
**[13:38] Megumin**
So, it seems none of you can move!
**[13:49] Host**
You!
**[13:50] Megumin**
Greetings. I happen to be a sorceress
supreme who was just passing through.
**[13:53] Megumin**
It seems you've all had quite the
little encounter in my absence.
**[13:58] Yunyun**
Megumin...
**[14:00] Megumin**
Last night, when I was about to get up
**[14:02] Megumin**
after realizing I had not performed
my daily explosion magic,
**[14:06] Megumin**
an unknown assailant cast
Sleep magic on me...
**[14:08] Yunyun**
Wait, y-you were awake?!
**[14:10] Yunyun**
Hang on, you were awake back then?!
**[14:12] Megumin**
And now, with an overflowing amount of
magic power carried over from yesterday,
**[14:17] Megumin**
who should I happen upon in
my search for a good target?!
**[14:24] Host**
Whoa! Your eyes!
**[14:26] Host**
H-Hang on a sec! I get it, I do.
Let's all just calm down...
**[14:29] Yunyun**
I-If you were awake,
you should have said something!
**[14:33] Yunyun**
I would've cast Sleep the second
I came into the room!
**[14:36] Yunyun**
When did you wake up?!
How much did you hear?!
**[14:38] Megumin**
Well, if you're curious, around the time you
unlocked the door to my room with magic,
**[14:43] Megumin**
and asked, "You're asleep, right, Megumin?"
**[14:46] Yunyun**
No!
**[14:48] Megumin**
Now, then, am I to understand
you've harmed my amusing comrade
**[14:52] Megumin**
who was silly enough to monologue
at someone who was wide awake,
**[14:55] Megumin**
and then cast Paralyze on herself?
**[14:57] Yunyun**
No! No more! Please stop!
**[14:59] Yunyun**
I apologize, so stop!
I'm sorry, so please, no more!
**[15:02] Megumin**
Now, she may be the
embarrassing type who says,
**[15:05] Megumin**
"I think you're really cool and incredible,
Megumin," when she thinks no one is listening...
**[15:10] Yunyun**
No!
**[15:12] Megumin**
And, "You're my best friend
in the whole world."
**[15:16] Megumin**
But after hearing all that...
**[15:20] Megumin**
I can hardly ignore her suffering, can I?!
**[15:23] Yunyun**
Kill me!
**[15:25] Yunyun**
I can't move, so I can't run or do it myself!
End my suffering now, please!
**[15:28] Yunyun**
I can't go on living like this!
I'd be better off dead!
**[15:31] Rex**
Hey! How long are you going to goof around?!
**[15:37] Rex**
What the...
**[15:38] Megumin**
I am going to fire my great spell.
**[15:42] Megumin**
The same instant victory magic that
defeated your comrade, Arnes!
**[15:46] Host**
Huh, you're the one who did her in?
**[15:50] Host**
Well, seeing the kind of
magic power you're packing,
**[15:52] Host**
it makes sense that she couldn't survive it.
**[16:00] Megumin**
The sparks of genesis.
The embers of oblivion.
**[16:05] Megumin**
Past, present, and future, a forbidden
force that subsumes all creation.
**[16:09] Megumin**
Flame, I am become destruction,
without mercy.
**[16:11] Host**
This is not my day, man.
**[16:11] Megumin**
By my blood, by my flesh, the commandments
set by the gods are now shattered!
**[16:13] Host**
I probably could've survived this
if I was at full strength, y'know.
**[16:17] Host**
But I had a run-in with
those weirdos yesterday...
**[16:21] Host**
The stupidly durable Crusader
and the thief in the shorts.
**[16:24] Host**
And then, when I was gonna attack
the town to let off some steam,
**[16:27] Host**
that weird broad who was doing
maintenance on the walls
**[16:30] Host**
blasts me with some seriously
nasty evil-banishing magic...
**[16:35] Megumin**
Explosion!
**[16:39] Host**
I guess this is one life wasted.
**[16:43] Host**
What a mess. If I don't
turn things around soon,
**[16:46] Host**
that little kid's gonna actually gonna
end up summoning me as her familiar...
**[17:11] Cecily**
I knew it! I had absolute
faith in you, Megumin!
**[17:15] Cecily**
Your big sister knew you were gonna win!
**[17:18] Megumin**
Miss, this is actually very uncomfortable,
so please put me down...
**[17:25] Cecily**
Aw, I know you're just playing hard-to-get!
**[17:27] Cecily**
Now, then.
**[17:29] Cecily**
I hate to say goodbye, but...
**[17:31] Megumin**
Are you headed back to Arcanretia?
**[17:34] Cecily**
No. I'm going on a journey.
**[17:37] Cecily**
This experience taught me something.
**[17:40] Cecily**
Healing magic by itself isn't enough.
**[17:42] Cecily**
When I cast Bless on Megumin, like a
proper priest should, it occurred to me...
**[17:49] Cecily**
Wouldn't it be better
**[17:50] Cecily**
if I wasn't just "beautiful,"
but "the beautiful, skilled priest"?
**[17:54] Megumin**
I hardly see how that matters at all.
**[17:57] Cecily**
Besides, once I hit a certain level,
**[17:59] Cecily**
I'll be eligible to take over the
local church of any town I want!
**[18:04] Megumin**
Miss, are you... plotting to take over this town?
**[18:09] Cecily**
That's a secret!
**[18:11] Megumin/Yunyun**
Sure seems like she is.
**[18:16] Cecily**
Goodbye!
**[18:19] Cecily**
Take care!
**[18:21] Cecily**
Call me "big sister" one last time, maybe?!
**[18:27] Yunyun**
Hey, Megumin...
**[18:30] Yunyun**
Would you come with me for a sec?
**[18:44] Yunyun**
My nemesis, and most renowned
of Crimson Demons, Megumin!
**[18:51] Yunyun**
I... I am called Yunyun!
**[18:54] Yunyun**
Arch wizard, and wielder
of intermediate magic!
**[18:57] Yunyun**
She who will one day be chief
of the Crimson Demons!
**[19:00] Yunyun**
I intend to go on a journey.
**[19:02] Yunyun**
Yes, a journey to master advanced magic,
so that I might defeat you, my rival!
**[19:08] Megumin**
But the other day, I wasn't your rival,
**[19:11] Megumin**
but your "best friend in the whole world."
**[19:14] Yunyun**
I'm not listening! I'm not listening!
**[19:16] Megumin**
Don't tell me that after that
embarrassing little confession,
**[19:19] Megumin**
you plan on getting out of
town until things calm down?
**[19:22] Yunyun**
I know what you're thinking,
but no, I'm not that stupid!
**[19:25] Yunyun**
I mean, i-it's only gonna
be for a while, so...
**[19:30] Yunyun**
A-Anyway,
**[19:32] Yunyun**
I hate to admit it, but you did
end up beating that demon.
**[19:36] Yunyun**
So I have to admit that, as I
am now, I just can't beat you.
**[19:40] Yunyun**
And if I stay with you, I doubt
I'll be able to surpass you.
**[19:44] Megumin**
I think that won't change even if you leave,
**[19:47] Megumin**
considering I've got a nearly
perfect record of beating you.
**[19:50] Yunyun**
O-Oh, pipe down! I'm trying to be
serious here, so don't butt in!
**[19:54] Yunyun**
Anyway, what do you say?
**[19:56] Yunyun**
After I learn advanced magic,
do you want to settle things?
**[20:01] Megumin**
By all means.
**[20:02] Megumin**
When that happens, let's see who's truly
greater, with no tricks or schemes.
**[21:32] Adventurer A**
We have three more spots for
front-line classes over here!
**[21:36] Adventurer B**
Any priests around?
**[21:37] Adventurer B**
The job's a goblin hunt,
and it pays pretty well.
**[21:40] Adventurer B**
We're looking for one more member!
**[21:44] Megumin**
Stare...
**[21:48] Adventurer A**
I think our spots just got filled!
**[21:53] Megumin**
* I shouldn't have tried to look cool by*
* handing my remaining funds to Yunyun.*
**[22:00] Megumin**
*No, that's not it.*
**[22:01] Megumin**
* I was so sure that there'd be*
* parties fighting to recruit me.*
**[22:07] Megumin**
"Immediate opening!
We're a cozy, harmonious party."
**[22:11] Megumin**
"I've been happy every day
since I joined this party."
**[22:13] Megumin**
"I got over my illness and became popular."
**[22:16] Megumin**
What in the world is this?
It definitely gives me a bad feeling...
**[22:21] Megumin**
"Advanced job classes only"?
I wonder what kind of party they are.
**[22:27] Kazuma**
Hey, let's lower the bar a little.
**[22:30] Kazuma**
Recruiting only members in
advanced classes is way too strict.
**[22:34] Aqua**
But... But...
**[22:41] Kazuma**
At this rate, not a single person will come.
**[22:44] Kazuma**
I mean, you might have an advanced class,
but I'm still in the weakest.
**[22:49] Kazuma**
I'll feel ashamed if I'm completely
surrounded by the elite.
**[22:52] Megumin**
I happened to notice your
recruitment poster.
**[22:58] Megumin**
That we would meet is a fate
chosen by the world itself.
**[23:01] Megumin**
I have anxiously awaited the arrival
of those such as yourselves.
**[23:10] Megumin**
I am called Megumin!
**[23:12] Megumin**
My calling is that of an arch wizard,
**[23:14] Megumin**
and one who controls explosion magic,
the strongest of all offensive magic!
**[23:20] Narrator**
This is the story of the girl known to
some as a mage of exceptional quality,
**[23:24] Narrator**
but more commonly known as a deranged
user of explosion magic, and her companions.
**[23:32] Narrator**
A grand new adventure is about to begin!
