[00:19] Kaz
    This isn't how I imagined
    life in a parallel world would be.
[00:23] Kaz
    Income is unstable for a beginner adventurer,
[00:27] Kaz
    so sleeping in a stable is normal...
[00:31] Kaz
    Now that I think about it, adventurers are
[00:33] Kaz
    basically insignificant,
    job-hopping part-timers.
[00:37] Kaz
    Job-hoppers can't even
[00:38] Kaz
    afford to stay in hotels in
    a place as affluent as Japan.
[00:43] Kaz
    Minimum wage?
[00:44] Kaz
    Fair labor standards?
[00:46] Kaz
    What are those? Are they tasty?
[00:52] Aqua
    Good morning.
[00:54] Kaz
    Don't "good morning" me.
[00:56] Kaz
    It's almost noon.
[00:58] Kaz
    Weren't we going on a kill quest?
[01:02] Aqua
    Once I realized we didn't have to go to our
    construction job, I couldn't help myself.
[01:07] Kaz
    What happened to her saying
    I could "count on" her yesterday?
[01:10] Kaz
    So, wasn't this world supposed to be under
[01:13] Kaz
    attack by the Devil King, and in a huge crisis?
[01:15] Kaz
    This is as peaceful as it gets!
[01:17] Kaz
    There's no sign of evil influence anywhere.
[01:20] Aqua
    This is the furthest city
    from the Devil King's castle.
[01:23] Aqua
    Besides, he wouldn't go out of
    his way to attack a city with
[01:26] Aqua
    nothing but novice adventurers in it.
[01:29] Kaz
    I guess...
[01:30] Aqua
    Now, let's go on that kill quest!
[01:34] Aqua
    You can count on me!
[01:37] Kaz
    Something tells me you said
    something similar yesterday.
[01:41] Kaz
    But it is true that you're a goddess.
[01:44] Kaz
    I'm counting on you.
[01:45] Kaz
    All right, let's put together the most
    basic equipment we can and head out.
[01:49] Aqua
    Yeah!
[01:51] Stable
    How long are you gonna hang around?!
    You wanna get walloped?!
[01:54] Both
    W-We're sorry!

[03:44] Kaz
    Save me— Whoa!
[03:47] Aqua
    Oh, man, this is hysterical!
[03:49] Aqua
    Kazuma, your face is red and
    you have tears in your eyes!
[03:52] Aqua
    You look super desperate!
[03:54] Kaz
    I'll bury her later, before I head home!
[03:57] Kaz
    Giant Toads.
[03:59] Kaz
    These guys can't be dismissed as simple frogs.
[04:02] Kaz
    When mating season comes,
[04:03] Kaz
    they show up in settlements with lots of prey,
[04:06] Kaz
    and swallow the farmers' goats whole
[04:08] Kaz
    to build up strength in
    preparation to lay their eggs.
[04:12] Kaz
    In fact, farmers and children
    from the settlement
[04:15] Kaz
    tend to go missing during these
    frogs' mating season every year.
[04:20] Kaz
    By the way, their meat is somewhat tough,
[04:22] Kaz
    but it's so light and refreshing
[04:24] Kaz
    that it's a highly coveted ingredient.
[04:27] Aqua
    Kazuma!
[04:29] Aqua
    If you want me to save you,
[04:30] Aqua
    why don't you start by adding
    "san" to the end of my name?!
[04:34] Kaz
    Aqua-sama!
[04:36] Aqua
    I guess I have no choice.
[04:38] Aqua
    I'll help you out, you shut-in NEET!
[04:40] Aqua
    In return, you'd better worship
    me from tomorrow onward!
[04:44] Kaz
    Huh?
[04:45] Aqua
    When we get back to town,
    join the Axis Sect
[04:48] Aqua
    and pray to me three times a day.
[04:50] Aqua
    At meal time, when I say "Gimme,"
[04:52] Aqua
    you'll hand your food
    over without resistance.
[04:55] Aqua
    And—
[05:02] Kaz
    Don't get eaten!
[05:06] Both
    KONOSUBA!
[05:11] Kaz
    Good thing the frog stopped moving
    around while it was eating you.
[05:19] Aqua
    Thank you, Kazuma!
[05:22] Aqua
    Thank you!
[05:23] Aqua
    Thank you so much!
[05:27] Kaz
    She smells disgusting!
[05:29] Kaz
    Um, let's head back for today.
[05:31] Kaz
    These guys are more than we can handle.
[05:35] Kaz
    Let's do this after we get
    more equipment together.
[05:39] Aqua
    I'm all dirty now.
[05:42] Aqua
    If the followers of Axis
    see me sullied like this,
[05:45] Aqua
    I'll lose their devotion!
[05:47] Aqua
    If it gets out that I backed
    down from a lowly frog,
[05:50] Aqua
    the name of the beautiful and stunning
    Aqua-sama will fall by the wayside!
[05:54] Kaz
    She's normally happy as can be to work
    up a sweat with the older workers,
[05:58] Kaz
    and looks forward to her post-bath dinner
[06:00] Kaz
    and a good, hard drink most of all.
[06:03] Kaz
    She even drools while she sleeps in the stable.
[06:06] Kaz
    It's a little late to complain
    about being "dirty"...
[06:11] Kaz
    Hey! Wait, Aqua!
[06:12] Aqua
    Feel the power of the gods!
[06:15] Aqua
    Regret that you ever stood in my path
[06:17] Aqua
    and bared your fangs at the gods,
[06:19] Aqua
    and repent in the pits of Hell!
[06:22] Aqua
    God Blow!
[06:25] Aqua
    "God Blow" is a lethal fist that carries
    a goddess's rage and sorrow!
[06:30] Aqua
    Any it strikes will perish!
[06:38] Aqua
    N-Now that I have a good look at you,
    I think frogs are pretty cute.

[07:02] Aqua
    There's no way the two of us
    can take them on alone.
[07:04] Aqua
    Let's recruit more allies!
[07:05] Kaz
    5,000 eris per frog...
[07:09] Kaz
    We risked our lives and earned no more
    than part-time construction work pays.
[07:13] Aqua
    This is surprisingly tasty.
[07:15] Aqua
    It's a little tough, but the texture's quite nice.
[07:18] Kaz
    You say "allies,"
[07:20] Kaz
    but we're beginners with
    no decent equipment.
[07:22] Kaz
    Do you really think anyone
    will party up with us?
[07:24] Aqua
    You've got me here, so allies—
[07:26] Kaz
    Swallow your food!
    Swallow your food, then talk!
[07:30] Aqua
    I'm an arch priest, the most
    advanced job there is!
[07:33] Aqua
    Anyone would kill to have me in their party!
[07:37] Aqua
    If I offhandedly decided to recruit members,
[07:39] Aqua
    there'd be tons of people saying,
    "Please! Take me with you!"
[07:43] Aqua
    Now that we've got that straight,
    hand me another piece of fried frog!
[07:47] Kaz
    Oh?
SIGN    The Next Day
[07:59] Aqua
    Nobody's coming.
[08:03] Kaz
    More than half a day passed after
    we posted the recruitment offer,
[08:06] Kaz
    but no prospective future heroes showed up.
[08:08] 1
    No way.
[08:09] 2
    You said it.
[08:11] Aqua
    Immediate opening!
    We're a cozy, harmonious party.
[08:14] Aqua
    Any adventurers who wish to journey with
[08:17] Aqua
    the beautiful and noble arch priest,
    Aqua-sama, need look no further!
[08:20] Aqua(ReviewA)
    I've been happy every day
    since I joined this party.
[08:23] Aqua(ReviewA)
    I definitely hit the jackpot!
[08:26] Aqua(ReviewB)
    I got over my illness and became popular,
[08:28] Aqua(ReviewB)
    all thanks to joining Aqua-sama's party!
[08:31] Aqua
    Hiring requirements: adventurers
    in advanced job classes only.
[08:37] Kaz
    Hey, let's lower the bar a little.
[08:40] Kaz
    Recruiting only members in
    advanced jobs is way too strict.
[08:44] Aqua
    But... But...
[08:46] Kaz
    At this rate, not a single person will come.
[08:49] Kaz
    I mean, you might have an advanced job,
    but I'm still in the weakest.
[08:54] Kaz
    I'll feel ashamed if I'm completely
    surrounded by the elite.
[08:56] Megu
    I happened to notice your recruitment poster.
[09:02] Megu
    That we would meet is a fate
    chosen by the world itself.
[09:05] Megu
    I have anxiously awaited the arrival
    of those such as yourselves.
[09:14] Megu
    My name is Megumin!
[09:16] Megu
    My calling is that of an arch wizard,
[09:18] Megu
    one who controls explosion magic,
[09:19] Megu
    the strongest of all offensive magic!
[09:25] Kaz
    Um...
[09:28] Megu
    Do you, too, desire my forbidden strength,
[09:29] Megu
    which is so almighty, I've been
    ostracized by the entire world?
[09:33] Kaz
    Huh?
[09:35] Megu
    Then show me thine resolve to peer
    into the ultimate abyss with me!
[09:40] Megu
    When man stares into the abyss,
    the abyss stares back.
[09:47] Kaz
    Are you just here to poke fun at us?
[09:48] Megu
    N-No!
[09:51] Aqua
    That red eye... Are you a crimson demon?
[09:55] Megu
    Indeed! I am Megumin, user of the
    finest magic crimson demons possess!
[09:59] Megu
    My lethal magic demolishes mountains,
[10:03] Megu
    smashes boulders...
[10:07] Kaz
    Hey, what's wrong?!
[10:12] Megu
    I haven't eaten anything in three days.
[10:15] Megu
    Do you have anything I could eat?
[10:18] Kaz
    I don't mind treating you,
[10:20] Kaz
    but what's with the eyepatch?
[10:22] Kaz
    If you're injured, why don't
    we have her heal you?
[10:25] Kaz
    Her one strong suit is healing magic.
[10:28] Aqua
    My "one"?!
[10:30] Megu
    This is the magic item that
    suppresses my mighty magical powers.
[10:35] Megu
    If I were ever to take this off,
[10:37] Megu
    a great catastrophe would
    surely befall this world...
[10:41] Kaz
    So it's like a seal?
[10:44] Megu
    Well, that was a lie.
[10:46] Megu
    I just wear it for looks.
[10:49] Megu
    I'm sorry! Please don't pull on it!
[10:52] Megu
    Stop... Stop it!
[10:54] Aqua
    You know,
[10:55] Megu
    Please cut it out!
[10:55] Aqua
    crimson demons are born with high
    intelligence, and possess magical powers.
[10:56] Megu
    Actually, it'll hurt if you just let go,
[10:59] Megu
    so please just slowly put it back where it was.
[11:00] Aqua
    Generally, they're all expert magicians,
[11:02] Aqua
    and all have weird names.
[11:03] Megu
    That's right, slowly, slowly...
[11:05] Kaz
    Oh?
[11:06] Megu
    Ow! My eye!
[11:09] Kaz
    Sorry. I thought you were making fun of us.
[11:12] Kaz
    You were talking gibberish
    and gave us that weird name.
[11:16] Megu
    Calling my name weird is rude.
[11:18] Megu
    From my point of view, it's everyone
    else in town who has a weird name.
[11:23] Kaz
    By the way, what are your parents' names?
[11:25] Megu
    My mother is Yuiyui and
    my father is Hyoizaburo!
[11:32] Kaz
    So this girl's clan has a lot
    of good magicians, right?
[11:36] Megu
    Hey! If you've got something to say
    about my parents' names, let's hear it!
[11:40] Megu
    Hyoizaburo!
[11:48] Aqua
    Adventurer cards can't be forged.
[11:50] Aqua
    She's an arch wizard for sure.
[11:54] Aqua
    It's an advanced job that commands
    powerful offensive magic!
[11:56] Kaz
    Yeah, this girl's magic stat is high...
[12:00] Aqua
    Also, if she really can use explosion
    magic, then that's amazing!
[12:05] Aqua
    It's the most advanced attack magic there is!
[12:08] Megu
    Hey, don't call me "this girl" and "she."
[12:11] Megu
    I'd prefer you called me by name.
[12:18] Kaz
    Well, go ahead and order
    something, "arch wizard."

    But that also means it takes time to prepare.
[12:36] Megu
    Please keep that frog at bay until
    my preparations are complete.
[12:40] Kaz
    Right. I'll do it.
[12:43] Aqua
    Kazuma, there's another over there!
[12:45] Kaz
    Two at once?
[12:49] Kaz
    Target the frog in the distance with your magic.
[12:52] Megu
    Understood.
[12:53] Kaz
    As for the closer one...
[12:54] Kaz
    Hey, let's go, Aqua.
[12:56] Kaz
    You are a former something-or-other, right?
[12:58] Kaz
    Show off some of your former ability.
[13:01] Aqua
    What do you mean "former"?!
[13:02] Aqua
    I am a goddess! Present tense!
[13:05] Megu
    Goddess?
[13:07] Kaz
    Oh, she just calls herself one. It's rather sad.
[13:10] Kaz
    She blurts out stuff like this at times,
[13:12] Kaz
    but it's best not to pay it any mind.
[13:14] Megu
    How sad...
[13:16] Aqua
    Wh-What?! These frogs may be
    strong against physical attacks,
[13:20] Aqua
    but this time for sure...
[13:22] Aqua
    Watch this, Kazuma!
[13:23] Aqua
    I'll show you the powers of
    a goddess today for sure!
[13:27] Aqua
    Tremble before me and fall asleep!
[13:29] Aqua
    God Requiem!
[13:31] Aqua
    "God Requiem" is a goddess's
    requiem of love and sorrow!
[13:35] Aqua
    Any it strikes will perish!
[13:44] Kaz
    That's a goddess for you.
[13:45] Kaz
    She put her life on the line to buy us time.
[13:50] Megu
    Darkness blacker than black
    and darker than dark,
[13:53] Megu
    I beseech thee, combine with my deep crimson.
[13:56] Megu
    The time of awakening cometh.
[13:58] Megu
    Justice, fallen upon the infallible boundary,
[14:01] Megu
    appear now as an intangible distortion!
[14:03] Megu
    Dance, dance, dance!
[14:06] Megu
    I desire for my torrent of
    power a destructive force:
[14:09] Megu
    a destructive force without equal!
[14:12] Megu
    Return all creation to cinders,
[14:14] Megu
    and come from the abyss!

    This is the mightiest means
    of attack known to man,

    the ultimate attack magic! Explosion!
[14:48] Kaz
    Wow...
[14:50] Kaz
    So this is magic?
[14:57] Kaz
    Did the explosion wake it up?
[15:00] Kaz
    Megumin! Let's back off for now and—
[15:04] Kaz
    Huh?
[15:06] Megu
    While my mystic art, explosion magic,
[15:08] Megu
    possesses tremendous might,
[15:10] Megu
    it also consumes tremendous magical power.
[15:13] Megu
    In short,
[15:15] Megu
    I used magic exceeding my limits,
[15:18] Megu
    so now I can't move a muscle.
[15:20] Kaz
    Huh?
[15:22] Megu
    I never expected a frog to pop up so close by.
[15:26] Megu
    This is bad.

    You're banned from using explosion
    magic, except in emergencies.
[16:09] Kaz
    Just do your best with some

[16:12] Megu
    I can't.
[16:13] Kaz
    Huh?
[16:15] Megu
    I can only use explosion magic.
[16:17] Megu
    I can't use any other type of magic.

[16:23] Megu
    For real.
[16:27] Girl
    Hey, wait right there!
[16:29] Aqua
    Huh?
[16:30] Aqua
    If your level is high enough
    to use explosion magic,
[16:32] Aqua
    shouldn't you be able
    to use other magic, too?
[16:35] Aqua
    Even I didn't learn all the arch priest spells
[16:39] Aqua
    until after I learned the party trick skills.
[16:42] Kaz
    What the heck would you use
    "party trick" skills for?
[16:44] Megu
    I'm an arch wizard who loves
    explosion magic above all else.
[16:48] Megu
    I don't like any other magic
    in the detonation family.
[16:52] Megu
    I only like explosion magic!
[16:54] Megu
    I could, of course, easily go on
    adventures if I learned other magic,
[16:58] Megu
    but that just won't do!
[16:59] Megu
    I only love explosion magic!
[17:02] Megu
    Even if only one use per day is my limit,
[17:04] Megu
    or I collapse after using my magic,
[17:07] Megu
    explosion magic is still
    the only magic I'll ever love!
[17:10] Megu
    After all, I chose the path of an arch wizard
[17:13] Megu
    solely so I could use explosion magic!
[17:19] Aqua
    Wonderful! Simply wonderful!
[17:21] Aqua
    Inefficient though it is,
    I'm moved by your romantic pursuit!
[17:26] Kaz
    Damn, this magician's hopeless.
[17:30] Kaz
    The fact that Aqua sympathizes
    with her proves it.
[17:34] Kaz
    Based on these two fights,
[17:36] Kaz
    I highly suspect this goddess
    is completely useless, too.
[17:41] Kaz
    Frankly, I don't need any more
    problem children to put up with.
[17:45] Kaz
    I see!
[17:47] Kaz
    I'm sure the path ahead of you
    will be thorny, but do your best!
[17:49] Kaz
    Once we reach the guild,
    we'll split the reward evenly,
[17:51] Kaz
    then when we get a chance,
    let's meet up somewhere—
[17:54] Megu
    My only desire is to use my explosion magic.
[17:58] Megu
    I'd be fine with going unpaid if need be.
[18:01] Megu
    Yes, an arch wizard's
    mighty power can be yours,
[18:04] Megu
    for the low cost of food and sundries!
[18:07] Megu
    What choice do you have but to make
    a long-term contract with me?
[18:10] Kaz
    No, no, no.
[18:12] Kaz
    Such mighty power would be wasted on a
    puny party of novice adventurers like us.
[18:17] Megu
    No, no, no.
[18:18] Megu
    It's fine, even if you are puny or novices!
[18:21] Megu
    I have an advanced job,
    but I'm only level six.
[18:24] Megu
    Hey, I wish you wouldn't
    try to tear my hand away!
[18:27] Kaz
    No, no, no, no.
[18:28] Kaz
    What kind of magician can
    only use a spell once a day?!
[18:33] Kaz
    This girl's got a surprisingly
    strong grip, for a magician!
[18:36] Kaz
    Hey, let go!
[18:37] Kaz
    You got dumped by another party, didn't you?!
[18:40] Kaz
    I said let go!
[18:41] Kaz
    Heck, if we go into a dungeon, there won't
    be enough room to use explosion magic!
[18:45] Kaz
    You get more useless by the second!
[18:46] Aqua
    Hey, stop! You're getting it on my face!
[18:48] Megu
    No other parties will take me anymore!
[18:52] Megu
    I'll carry your stuff,
    or whatever else you need!

    I'm begging you! Please don't abandon me!

    to abandon a little girl!
[19:00] B
    And he's got a girl covered
    in snot beside him.
[19:03] A
    Toying with such a little girl, then
    discarding her? What a scumbag!
[19:06] C
    Look! Both those girls are all slimy!
[19:10] C
    What sort of acts did that
    pervert perform on them?!
[19:13] Kaz
    I-It's not like that!
[19:21] Megu
    I'm fine with whatever erotic acts you like!
[19:25] Megu
    I'll show you I can even endure that
    slimy act we used those frogs for!
[19:28] Kaz
    All right, I get it!
[19:30] Kaz
    Glad to have you aboard!
[19:32] All
    KONOSUBA!
[19:37] Luna
    I've confirmed that you
    have completed your quest.
[19:39] Luna
    Thank you for your hard work.
[19:41] Kaz
    I went up four levels all at once.
[19:44] Kaz
    You really do get stronger just
    by defeating some monsters...
[19:48] Luna
    The newer the adventurer,
    the faster you'll grow.
[19:51] Luna
    Now then, adding up the
    sale of the giant toads
[19:54] Luna
    and your quest completion reward,
[19:56] Luna
    your total comes to 110,000 eris.
[19:59] Luna
    Please verify the amount.
[20:05] Kaz
    110,000... Split between three people,
[20:09] Kaz
    that comes to around 36,000 eris each.
[20:15] Kaz
    We nearly lost our lives for
    a reward of 36,000 each.
[20:19] Kaz
    It's not worth it.
[20:21] Kaz
    I checked the other quests just in case, but...
[20:24] A
    I want someone to search
    for my lost pet white wolf.
[20:28] B
    I want someone to teach
    my son swordsmanship.
[20:30] B
    Requirements: rune knights
    or sword masters only.
[20:34] C
    Looking for a practice partner
    for magical experiments.
[20:37] C
    Requirements: must have high HP or
    confidence in their magic resistance!
[20:42] Kaz
    Yeah, it's no use.
[20:48] Kaz
    I want to go back to Japan.
[20:50] Kaz
    The ally we recruited is a lost cause.
[20:53] Kaz
    Living in this world isn't gonna be easy.
[20:56] Dark
    I happened to see your recruitment poster.
[21:01] Dark
    Are you still recruiting party members?
[21:06] Kaz
    Um...
[21:08] Kaz
    We are!
[21:10] Kaz
    Though, I wouldn't really recommend it...
[21:14] Kaz
    A female knight.
[21:15] Kaz
    An extraordinarily beautiful one at that!
[21:18] Kaz
    She's such a gorgeous older
    woman, I got so nervous
[21:21] Kaz
    that my voice squeaked a little.
[21:24] Kaz
    It's an adverse effect of
    my long life as a shut-in!
[21:27] Dark
    I see. Thank goodness.
[21:30] Dark
    I have anxiously awaited the arrival
    of someone such as yourself.
[21:39] Dark
    My name is Darkness.
[21:42] Dark
    My calling is that of a crusader.
[21:51] Dark
    Please let... Please let me...
[21:55] Dark
    j-j-join your party!
SIGN    Dad, I've gotten totally used to my life here in this parallel world. My days are busy, spent with my dependable companions. Work is going well, and I've been commended, saying I'll be promoted extraordinarily quickly. I'm so content with life that I never feel exhausted, lonely, or resentful. It's true. I'm telling the truth, okay?
