**[00:02] Kaz**
All right...
**[00:12] Kaz**
Create Water!
**[00:28] Kaz**
Well, that's about what I'd
expect from elementary magic.
**[00:32] Kaz**
Now that I've learned a skill,
maybe I'm a bit more of an adventurer.
**[00:35] Dark**
Kazuma!
**[00:36] Dark**
Look!
**[00:37] Dark**
I repaired my armor with the
reward I got for the cabbages,
**[00:40] Dark**
and it's so shiny now! What do you think?
**[00:43] Kaz**
Looks like the sort of armor some
newly-rich aristocrat's son would wear.
**[00:48] Dark**
There are times when I'd like
some genuine praise, too.
**[00:52] Dark**
You never show any mercy, do you, Kazuma?
**[00:56] Kaz**
I don't have time to pay
attention to you right now.
**[00:59] Kaz**
Do something about that pervert who's
well on her way to surpassing you.
**[00:59] Megu**
Irresistible. Irresistible!
**[01:02] Megu**
The luster of this Manatite staff
brimming with magical power...
**[01:08] Aqua**
What was that?!
**[01:09] Aqua**
Hey, you, what's the meaning of this?!
**[01:11] Aqua**
Just how many cabbages do you think I caught?!
**[01:13] Luna**
W-Well...
**[01:15] Aqua**
What?
**[01:16] Luna**
Most of what you caught is actually lettuce...
**[01:20] Aqua**
Why is there lettuce mixed in?!
**[01:23] Luna**
Th-There's nothing I can do about it!
**[01:24] Dark**
It *is* true that lettuce has
a low redemption rate.
**[01:25] Aqua**
I went through a lot of
trouble, so do something!
**[01:27] Kaz**
Is it? I wouldn't know.
**[01:31] Kaz**
*Oh, she's coming this way. This isn't good.*
**[01:34] Aqua**
Kazuma-san!
**[01:37] Aqua**
About how much was your
reward from our last quest?
**[01:41] Kaz**
About a million.
**[01:45] Kaz**
*Yes.*
**[01:46] Kaz**
* Thanks to the quest that was*
* sprung on us out of the blue,*
**[01:49] Kaz**
*I suddenly obtained a small fortune.*

**[03:22] All**
A million...
**[03:25] Kaz**
*Many of the cabbages I harvested*
**[03:27] Kaz**
*were apparently packed with lots of XP.*
**[03:30] Kaz**
*I guess high luck makes all the difference.*
**[03:34] Aqua**
K-Kazuma-sama,
**[03:36] Aqua**
I've thought this for quite
some time, but you're, um...
**[03:40] Aqua**
fairly cool, you know?
**[03:43] Kaz**
If nothing praiseworthy about me
comes to mind, don't force it.
**[03:48] Aqua**
K-Kazuma-san!
**[03:50] Aqua**
I thought my reward for this
quest would be pretty hefty,
**[03:53] Aqua**
so I used up all the money I had!
**[03:55] Aqua**
In fact, I expected to
rake in a bunch of money,
**[03:58] Aqua**
so I have a bar tab of nearly 100,000 eris!
**[03:58] Man**
You know what's next.
**[04:01] Kaz**
What do I care?
**[04:02] Kaz**
You're the one who suggested we each
keep our rewards for ourselves!
**[04:05] Aqua**
But that was because I thought
only I'd make a killing off it!
**[04:08] Kaz**
You're real scum.
**[04:09] Aqua**
Please, lend me money!
**[04:11] Aqua**
Just enough to pay my tab is plenty!
**[04:13] Kaz**
Shut up, you useless goddess!
**[04:15] Kaz**
I'm going to use this money to escape
life in the stables once and for all!
**[04:19] Aqua**
Well, you *are* a boy,
**[04:21] Aqua**
and I know you rustle around
beside me at night sometimes,
**[04:24] Aqua**
so I'm sure you'd like a private
room as soon as possible...
**[04:27] Kaz**
Got it! All right, I got it!
**[04:29] Kaz**
I'll lend you the money, so shut up!
**[04:31] Kaz**
KONOSUBA!
**[04:32] Aqua**
Kazuma, allies sure are great!
**[04:35] Aqua**
We're the greatest party ever!
**[04:39] Man**
Oh, thanks for your business.
**[04:40] Kaz**
*Damn her...*
***SIGN*** The Next Day
**[04:50] Megu**
Kazuma looks like a real adventurer now.
**[04:54] Aqua**
Wearing a tracksuit ruins
that fantasy feel, doesn't it?
**[04:57] Dark**
Fantasy feel?
**[04:59] Kaz**
It's elementary, but I did
acquire a magic skill.
**[05:03] Kaz**
I was thinking of going for a
sword mage style, with no shield.
**[05:07] Aqua**
Only the things you say sound mature...
**[05:09] Megu**
Let's go on a kill quest right away, then.
**[05:11] Megu**
One with lots of small-fry monsters!
**[05:15] Megu**
I want to test out my new staff's magic power!
**[05:18] Dark**
No, one with super strong monsters
that hit with a heavy, pleasant blow!
**[05:23] Aqua**
No, let's do a profitable quest!
**[05:26] Aqua**
I paid my tab, so I don't have
enough money for meals today!
**[05:28] Kaz**
*They're not on the same page at all!*
**[05:30] Kaz**
Okay, it's the giant toads' mating season,
**[05:33] Kaz**
and I hear they're infesting
areas near the city...
**[05:36] Aqua**
No frogs!
**[05:36] Megu**
Not the frogs!
**[05:37] Dark**
Why?
**[05:39] Kaz**
Oh, these two have been traumatized by frogs.
**[05:43] Kaz**
They got eaten head-first
and covered in slime.
**[05:48] Dark**
Covered in slime?!
**[05:49] Kaz**
You're turned on right now, aren't you?
**[05:51] Dark**
I am not.
**[05:53] Dark**
KONOSUBA!
**[05:56] Kaz**
Huh? What's going on?
**[05:57] Kaz**
There are hardly any requests.
**[05:59] Dark**
Kazuma! This is it! Let's do this one!
**[06:01] Dark**
A kill quest for a giant
beast called Black Fang!
**[06:04] Kaz**
No! No way!
**[06:06] Kaz**
What's this all about?
**[06:07] Kaz**
There are only high-difficulty quests left!
**[06:11] Luna**
I am very sorry.
**[06:13] Luna**
The truth is, one of the Devil King's top
leaders moved in near town recently.
**[06:18] Kaz**
Huh?
**[06:19] Luna**
All the weak monsters in the area have
gone into hiding because of that,
**[06:23] Luna**
so there's been a sharp decline in requests.
**[06:25] Kaz**
What?
**[06:28] Aqua**
Honestly... I don't care if he's
a top leader or whatever.
**[06:32] Aqua**
If he's an undead, just watch me!
**[06:34] Kaz**
So this means that
**[06:35] Kaz**
until capable adventurers and knights
are sent here from the imperial capital,
**[06:40] Kaz**
we won't be able to find any decent work?
**[06:43] Aqua**
Look, this is incredible! It's such fine work!
**[06:46] Aqua**
I wonder if the sale price will go up.
**[06:49] Kaz**
*A thrilling adventure in a parallel world, huh?*
**[06:58] Kaz**
Say, if you want to do magical training,
can't you go on your own?
**[07:01] Megu**
If I did that, who would carry me home?
**[07:05] Megu**
After one shot, I can't move anymore.
**[07:08] Kaz**
*Is she*
**[07:10] Kaz**
*going to make me tag along for this every day?*
**[07:15] Kaz**
Hey, right here's fine, isn't it?
**[07:17] Kaz**
Just use your magic on
whatever and let's go back.
**[07:19] Megu**
I can't do that!
**[07:20] Megu**
If I don't do it somewhere far from town,
I'll be scolded by the guardsmen again.
**[07:25] Kaz**
You just said "again," didn't you?
**[07:27] Kaz**
Did they get mad and call you a
nuisance because of the noise?
**[07:33] Kaz**
Guess we have no choice...
**[07:36] Megu**
KONOSUBA!
**[07:38] Megu**
Is that an abandoned castle?
**[07:41] Kaz**
It's so eerie.
**[07:43] Megu**
I'll use that!
**[07:44] Megu**
Surely nobody will complain
if I obliterate that!
**[07:48] Kaz**
Uh, yeah...
**[07:50] Megu**
Crimson-black blaze,
king of myriad worlds,
**[07:53] Megu**
though I promulgate the laws of nature,
**[07:55] Megu**
I am the alias of destruction incarnate
**[07:58] Megu**
in accordance with the
principles of all creation.
**[08:00] Megu**
Let the hammer of eternity descend unto me!
**[08:04] Megu**
Explosion!
**[08:18] Megu**
Burn to ashes within the crimson.
**[08:23] Megu**
This is fantastic...
**[08:27] Kaz**
*And that's how*
**[08:29] Kaz**
*my new daily routine with Megumin began.*
**[08:33] Aqua**
It's cheap, dirt cheap! Fresh cabbage!
**[08:36] Kaz**
* Left dead broke, Aqua worked hard*
* at her part-time job every day.*
**[08:36] Aqua**
How about some, ma'am?
And you, too, mister!
**[08:41] Kaz**
* Darkness said she was going to do weight*
* training back at her family home for a while.*
**[08:46] Kaz**
*Megumin, who had nothing in particular to do,*
**[08:48] Kaz**
* commuted to that abandoned castle every day*
* and kept unleashing explosion magic on it.*
**[08:50] Megu**
Explosion!
**[08:55] Kaz**
*On cold, rainy evenings...*
**[08:58] Megu**
—plosion!
**[09:00] Kaz**
* On calm, early afternoons,*
* right after lunch...*
**[09:03] Megu**
—sion!
**[09:06] Kaz**
*On invigorating, early morning walks...*
**[09:06] Both**
Explosion-plosion! Explosion-plosion!
**[09:10] Megu**
—on!
**[09:15] Kaz**
I'd give that one 60 points, I think.
**[09:17] Kaz**
It was lacking in volume.
**[09:21] Megu**
Explosion!
**[09:21] Kaz**
*No matter the occasion,*
**[09:23] Megu**
Explosion...
**[09:23] Kaz**
* Megumin unleashed magic upon that*
* abandoned castle every day.*
**[09:25] Megu**
Explosion!
**[09:29] Kaz**
*I kept close, observing her magic,*
**[09:33] Kaz**
* and eventually came to*
* understand the quality*
**[09:37] Kaz**
*of each day's explosion magic.*
**[09:47] Megu**
Explosion!
**[09:58] Kaz**
It feels pretty good today.
**[09:59] Kaz**
The explosion's shock waves practically
reverberate through my flesh and bones,
**[10:04] Kaz**
and yet the delayed vibrations of
the air seem to stroke my skin.
**[10:09] Kaz**
Nice explosion!
**[10:11] Megu**
Nice explosion!
**[10:13] Megu**
You've come to understand the
path of explosions, Kazuma.
**[10:17] Megu**
How about it?
**[10:18] Megu**
Why not learn explosion magic for real?
**[10:23] Kaz**
It could be fun to acquire it in
the future, if I can afford to.
**[10:27] Megu**
That's a great attitude.
**[10:36] Kaz**
The future, huh?
**[10:38] Aqua**
I'm back!
**[10:40] Aqua**
Take a look at this!
**[10:41] Aqua**
We had some cooking leftover,
so they said I could bring it home.
**[10:44] Aqua**
It's a huge score!
**[10:46] Kaz**
Hey, Aqua, I don't want to say this, but...
**[10:49] Aqua**
What?
**[10:49] Kaz**
To be blunt, I'm starting to think we're
incapable of taking down the Devil King.
**[10:55] Kaz**
Listen.
**[10:56] Kaz**
I never had any amazing powers like
the protagonists in fairy tales do.
**[11:01] Kaz**
Shouldn't some group endowed with
powerful abilities, equipment,
**[11:05] Kaz**
and so forth be sent in to fight
the Devil King's army instead?
**[11:08] Aqua**
Don't say that! I'll never be
able to go home that way!
**[11:11] Kaz**
Save lines like that for after you've
done something a goddess would do,
**[11:16] Kaz**
like guiding the hero or buying
time by sealing the Devil King
**[11:19] Kaz**
until the hero can stand on his own.
**[11:21] Kaz**
You deadbeat who's only
useful for party tricks!
**[11:28] Kaz**
That's the situation, so come up with some
profitable business that's simple to do.
**[11:32] Kaz**
Also, hurry up and teach me recovery magic,
the last thing you've got going for you.
**[11:37] Aqua**
No!
**[11:39] Aqua**
Anything but my recovery magic!
**[11:41] Aqua**
Don't take away my reason for being!
**[11:44] Aqua**
You've got me for that! Isn't that enough?!
**[11:49] Megu**
Your verbal lashings are pretty nasty.
**[11:49] Aqua**
Meanie! Demon! Brute!
**[11:52] Megu**
Most women would cry if you said what
was on your mind without holding back.
**[11:57] Dark**
If you're feeling stressed out,
**[11:59] Dark**
I wouldn't mind if you
verbally abused me instead.
**[12:05] Aqua**
You're so cruel!
**[12:06] Kaz**
*Why you little...*
**[12:09] Luna**
Emergency! Emergency!
**[12:11] Luna**
All adventurers, please arm yourselves at once
**[12:14] Luna**
and gather at the front gate
of the city, ready for battle!
**[12:20] Ruffian**
That's no laughing matter!
**[12:30] Aqua**
What is it?
**[12:31] Kaz**
Hey, what's going on?
**[12:33] Kaz**
He looks crazy strong!
**[12:35] Dul**
I'm the leader from the Devil King's army
**[12:39] Dul**
who moved into a nearby castle recently.
**[12:42] Dark**
Is that a dullahan?
**[12:47] Dul**
Day after day, after day, after day!
**[12:49] Dul**
Wh-Who's the screw-loose imbecile
who keeps firing explosion magic
**[12:53] Dul**
at my castle every single day?!
**[13:01] Kaz**
*One of the Devil King's top leaders*
**[13:03] Kaz**
*was utterly enraged with us.*
**[13:09] Dul**
Day after day, after day, after day!
**[13:12] Dul**
Who's the screw-loose imbecile who keeps
**[13:15] Dul**
firing explosion magic at my castle?!
**[13:22] A**
Explosion magic?
**[13:23] B**
Who comes to mind that
can use explosion magic?
**[13:26] C**
If we're talking explosion magic...
**[13:33] MagicianA**
Huh? M-Me?!
**[13:35] MagicianA**
Why are you looking at me?
**[13:37] MagicianA**
I can't use explosion magic!
**[13:39] A**
Um, I'm still a novice.
**[13:41] A**
Uh, I really didn't do it! Please, believe me!
**[13:44] A**
I don't want to die yet!
**[13:46] A**
I have little brothers to take care of!
**[13:51] Dark**
Megumin?
**[14:05] Dul**
So it was you?
**[14:10] Dul**
You're the imbecile who fired explosion
magic at my castle day after day?!
**[14:15] Dul**
If you're picking a fight with awareness
that I'm a leader in the Devil King's army,
**[14:19] Dul**
come attack my castle fair and square!
**[14:21] Dul**
If you don't have the nerve,
**[14:22] Dul**
then stay in the city, trembling in fear!
**[14:23] Dul**
Tell me, why the underhanded harassment?!
**[14:27] Dul**
Just because we left this city alone since
there's nothing but small fry here,
**[14:30] Dul**
don't get cocky and make my castle go boom,
boom, boom, boom every single day!
**[14:34] Dul**
Are you crazy, you wench?!
**[14:39] Megu**
My name is Megumin!
**[14:41] Megu**
An arch wizard who commands explosion magic!
**[14:47] Dul**
What's "Megumin" supposed to be?
**[14:49] Dul**
Are you making a fool of me?
**[14:50] Megu**
N-No!
**[14:51] Megu**
I am a crimson demon,
the greatest magician in this city.
**[14:56] Megu**
Firing explosion magic at you
continuously was a strategy
**[14:59] Megu**
to lure you, a leader in the
Devil King's army, out here.
**[15:03] Megu**
You fell for it, and came to this city alone.
**[15:06] Megu**
Seems you're out of luck.
**[15:09] Kaz**
When did this turn into a strategy?
**[15:12] Dark**
Not to mention she just proclaimed
herself the greatest magician in this city.
**[15:16] Aqua**
Shh! Do her a favor and keep quiet!
**[15:19] Aqua**
She hasn't used explosion magic yet today,
**[15:22] Aqua**
and she has lots of adventurers behind her,
**[15:24] Aqua**
so she's acting tough.
**[15:25] Aqua**
This is the good part,
so stand here and watch!
**[15:31] Dul**
Very well.
**[15:32] Dul**
It's not as though I came to this
land to meddle with you small fry.
**[15:36] Dul**
I'll likely be staying in that
castle for a while longer,
**[15:40] Dul**
so don't use your explosion
magic on it again. Got it?
**[15:44] Megu**
Impossible.
**[15:45] Megu**
We crimson demons must unleash
explosion magic once a day, or we'll die.
**[15:49] Dul**
H-Hey, I've never heard
anything like that before!
**[15:52] Dul**
Don't make up convenient lies!
**[15:55] Dul**
Are you saying you don't intend to stop
using explosion magic, no matter what?
**[15:59] Megu**
Yes.
**[16:00] Dul**
I may have given myself up to evil,
but I was once a knight.
**[16:05] Dul**
I'm not interested in mowing
down weaklings. However...
**[16:10] Megu**
You can't act so composed for long.
**[16:13] Megu**
Teacher, if you would!
**[16:17] Kaz**
Hey.
**[16:18] Aqua**
Guess I have no choice.
**[16:19] Kaz**
Huh?!
**[16:20] Aqua**
I don't care if you're one
of the Devil King's leaders!
**[16:22] Aqua**
Coming here while I'm around was bad luck!
**[16:25] Aqua**
I can't accept any decent
quests because of you!
**[16:29] Aqua**
Now, are you ready?!
**[16:32] Dul**
What do we have here?
**[16:34] Dul**
An arch priest?
**[16:36] Dul**
I *am* one of the top leaders
in the Devil King's army.
**[16:39] Dul**
I'm not so lowly that I'd be purified
by a low-level priest from this city.
**[16:45] Dul**
I know.
**[16:46] Dul**
Why don't I make that crimson
demon girl suffer a bit?
**[16:54] Aqua**
I'll purify you with my prayer!
**[16:57] Dul**
You're too late!
**[17:00] Dul**
I sentence thee to death.
**[17:02] Dul**
You will die in one week.
**[17:10] Kaz**
Darkness!
**[17:14] Kaz**
*Damn, he got us! A death sentence?*
**[17:17] Megu**
Darkness! Darkness!
**[17:19] Kaz**
Are you all right?
**[17:23] Dark**
It doesn't appear to be serious...
**[17:25] Dul**
It appears this method may actually
be more effective against
**[17:29] Dul**
tightly-knit adventurers such as yourselves.
**[17:32] Dul**
Listen, crimson demon girl.
**[17:34] Dul**
That crusader will die in one week's time.
**[17:38] Dul**
Your precious ally
**[17:40] Dul**
will suffer as she trembles
in terror of death until then.
**[17:44] Dul**
Yes, because of you!
**[17:48] Dul**
Watch as your ally suffers
**[17:50] Dul**
for the next week and
repent for your actions.
**[17:55] Dul**
You should have just done as I said.
**[18:03] Dark**
How terrible...
**[18:04] Dark**
You're basically saying you
cast a death curse on me,
**[18:07] Dark**
and to obey your orders
if we want it removed?
**[18:11] Dark**
Is *that* what you're after?!
**[18:14] Dul**
Huh?
**[18:15] Kaz**
* I don't even want to understand*
* what Darkness is talking about.*
**[18:19] Dark**
I won't give in to a mere curse!
**[18:23] Dark**
I won't give in, but...
**[18:24] Dark**
Wh-What should I do, Kazuma?
**[18:27] Kaz**
Yes, I'm Kazuma.
**[18:27] Dark**
Look at that dullahan's filthy eyes,
hidden beneath his helmet!
**[18:28] Dul**
Huh?
**[18:31] Dark**
Those are the eyes of a degenerate who
plans to take me back to his castle,
**[18:32] Dul**
Huh? What?
**[18:34] Dark**
tell me to shut up and submit to
him if I want the curse removed,
**[18:37] Dark**
and demand I perform hardcore
acts of perversion for him!
**[18:43] Dul**
Huh?
**[18:44] Dark**
You may do as you please with my body,
**[18:47] Dark**
but don't think you'll be free to
do as you please with my heart!
**[18:50] Dark**
A lady knight imprisoned in a castle,
**[18:51] Dark**
having outrageous demands made
of her by the Devil King's minion...
**[18:55] Dark**
Oh, what should I do?!
What should I do, Kazuma?
**[18:58] Kaz**
Yes, yes, I'm Kazuma.
**[18:58] Dark**
This is an unexpectedly moe situation!
**[19:01] Dark**
I don't want to go.
**[19:02] Dark**
I don't want to go, but I have no choice!
**[19:05] Dark**
I'll resist as long as I can,
so don't stand in my way!
**[19:08] Dark**
Okay, I'll be back!
**[19:11] Dul**
What a maniac...
**[19:13] Kaz**
Stop! Don't go!
**[19:14] Kaz**
You're bothering the dullahan!
**[19:16] Dark**
Let go!
**[19:17] Dark**
Don't stop me!
**[19:19] Kaz**
*Pitiful...*
**[19:19] Dark**
Cut it out!
**[19:21] Dark**
KONOSUBA!
**[19:22] Dul**
A-Anyway!
**[19:24] Dul**
Stop firing explosion magic at my castle!
**[19:27] Dul**
And you, crimson demon girl!
**[19:29] Dul**
If you wish to lift the curse on
that crusader, come to my castle.
**[19:34] Dul**
If you're able to make it all the
way to me, I'll lift the curse.
**[19:39] Dul**
However, will you all really
be able to make it that far?
**[20:03] Kaz**
Hey, where do you think you're going?
**[20:06] Megu**
I'm going to go to the castle,
**[20:08] Megu**
nail the dullahan with a direct
hit of my explosion magic,
**[20:11] Megu**
and lift the curse on Darkness.
**[20:19] Kaz**
You know I'm going with you.
**[20:22] Kaz**
If you go alone, you'll use
your magic on some peon,
**[20:24] Kaz**
and then it'll be all over.
**[20:26] Kaz**
Besides,
**[20:27] Kaz**
I'm the fool who went with you every day
**[20:29] Kaz**
and didn't realize the castle belonged
to one of their leaders.
**[20:35] Megu**
Shall we go together, then?
**[20:37] Megu**
However, I hear there's a
bunch of undead in the castle.
**[20:40] Megu**
That means weapons won't work very well.
**[20:43] Megu**
My magic should be more effective.
**[20:46] Megu**
So...
**[20:50] Megu**
Please rely on me at times like these!
**[20:53] Dark**
Don't...
**[20:55] Dark**
Give it up, you two.
Don't do all this for me.
**[20:59] Kaz**
Hey, Darkness! We'll definitely
do something about your curse!
**[21:03] Kaz**
So rest assured—
**[21:04] Aqua**
Sacred Break Spell!
**[21:24] Both**
Huh?
**[21:28] Aqua**
For me, lifting a dullahan's curse is child's play!
**[21:32] Aqua**
Well? I can be priest-like once
in a while, don't you think?
**[21:43] Aqua**
Oh, it was nothing. Actually, maybe it wasn't!
**[21:46] Kaz**
*Megumin and I were so excited.*
**[21:49] Kaz**
*Give us back our motivation...*
**[21:52] Aqua**
Hup!
**[21:53] Aqua**
Nature's Beauty of victory!

***SIGN*** This is the goddess, Aqua. I'm reporting my progress. We ran into a bit of trouble, but just about everything is going favorably. In fact, it appears as though I've saved the extremely incompetent and reclusive Mr. Satou Kazuma. Mr. Kazuma appears grateful for my devotion from the bottom of his heart. Therefore, I would like to request permission to return home... Huh? I can't? Please, I beg you!
