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

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

Big trouble, Megumin!

Extremely big trouble!
