**[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!
