[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!
[16:02] Arue
Explosion!
[16:03] Funifura
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!
SIGN KONOSUBA - An Explosion on This Wonderful World!
[16:26] Arue
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.

[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!

[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!

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

I've never once considered

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.

Okay, here you go.

Aw, you're such a cutie, Megumin!

[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!

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

[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!

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

[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!
[23:26] Yunyun
A swarm of monsters is after little Inky!
[23:28] Megumin
She's done for. We have to leave her behind.
[23:29] Yunyun
Don't give up so fast!

I'm more worried about Komekko!
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!

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!

Could I have another chance?

Sorry, no. Not looking to

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.

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...

That's not happening!

The city of water and hot

Clad in the armor of my friends' parting gifts,

I stand here with my sister's

[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 fare to my next destination, Axel,
[02:13] Axis Cultist 2
Just sign right here and your
life will be rose-tinted bliss!
[02:16] Megumin
but I'm barely able to cover
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.

[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

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.

[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!

No, they should vote for—

[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!

Big trouble, Megumin!

We managed to board the coach to Axel,
but it's been attacked by monsters!
[23:29] Megumin
I'll obliterate them with

[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!

Come on, switch with me!
[02:59] Yunyun
Come on, come on, come on, come on,

Would you please control yourself?!

Miss, would you like to switch seats with me?

[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!

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?

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.

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!

Get her, quickly!

You're up, master!

Master! Master! Master!

[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.

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.

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!

I hope we don't get mixed

[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!

[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...

[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!
