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

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

[23:25] Yunyun
    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...
[23:35] Megumin
    That's not happening!
[23:36] Yunyun
    N-Next time, we'll join you for
    a business meeting with an...
[23:38] Megumin
    Explosion!
