Achoo!
Cold... I'm so cold...
Warm me up... Somebody warm me up...
What's wrong with you?!
Don't you get it?!
Darkness went to deal with that lord last night and never came back!
She's probably...
Megumin?
What's with the cat?
I doubt she'll cause much trouble, so...
You want to keep her?
Is that all right?
Ow!
Hey, why'd she only scratch me?!
Unbelievable!
Between the jet black fur and the imperious attitude,
I can sense some sort of malevolent aura!
So, what do you call this demonic beast?
Chomusuke.
What'd you—
She's Chomusuke.
Anyway, what were the two of you making a fuss about?
How can you be so calm?
As we speak, Darkness might be...
There may be unsavory rumors about that lord,
but I doubt Darkness could easily be—
That's the problem with children!
You still don't understand that deviant at all!
You can do what you want with my body...
"But don't think you'll have your way with my heart!"
She's sure to say something like that.
Wh-Wh-What should we do?!
Darkness is in grave danger!
What should we do, Kazuma?!
It's too late.
Listen up. When she gets back,
just be as nice to her as you normally would.
I-I get it!
So we can't ask Darkness what it was like to climb the stairs to adulthood!
Darkness... Darkness, she's...
Satou Kazuma!
Is Satou Kazuma here?!

While they were trying to spring me,
Episode 2 A Friend For This Crimson Demon Girl!
Megumin had cast her explosion magic all over the place.
Thanks to that, the Giant Toads that had been hibernating woke up early.
Help!
So, we're here to clean up her mess, but...
No!
I don't wanna be toad food again!
The toads haven't slowed down, despite the cold...
Aren't they a little too hardy?
We will not be outdone!
We must get much, much stronger in order to survive
in this cruel world.
I'll get you out—
No, please, help Aqua first.
It's cold outside, but it's quite warm inside this toad.
Having already cast my explosion magic,
all I can do is slow this one down.
O-Okay, I'll leave you to it.
Is that a good idea?!
Kazuma-san!
I can't! I just can't!
Hurry and do something!
Even with Darkness to act as a sturdy wall for our party,
none of us had an effective ranged attack.
In light of that, I decided to learn a new skill.
And it's called...
Snipe!
The Snipe skill has higher accuracy the higher your luck stat is.
It's a perfect fit for me!
Kazuma-san...
Hey! That arrow almost messed up the best part of my hair—
Aqua!
KONOSUBA!
My skill... My skill...
A-Are you people always like this?
W-Wait a moment!
The toads!
This is bad! Now there's not enough bai—
I mean, enough decoys to keep them occupied!
Aqua, you should still be keeping them occupied!
No way! You be the decoy this time!
Stupid! You don't have enough attack power to beat these toads!
If we can beat even one of them, that'd leave just two!
Then you and Sena-san can keep them busy together!
I'm just here to supervise you all, not to get dragged into—
Kazuma, there's your chance!
Hurry and get the toa—
No!
You guys!
Excuse me, but I think I'm slowly being swallowed.
Could you rescue me now, please?
Aw, damn it!
If only Darkness were here!
We're doomed!
Light of Saber!
KONOSUBA!
I honestly don't want to touch them...
You should be able to walk now.
I don't know who you are, but thanks.
I-I wasn't trying to save you.
If my rival had been eaten by a toad, I'd look ridiculous...
Rival?
I-It's been a long time, Megumin!
Today is the day we finally settle our long-standing score!
Who might you be, exactly?
I mean, it's strange that you never gave your name.
This must be one of those "Hey, it's me!" scams that Kazuma described before.
F-Fine, then!
It's embarrassing to do this in front of strangers, but...
My name is Yunyun!
An arch wizard and master of advanced magic!
She who will one day lead the Crimson Demons!
Anyway, this is Yunyun.
Daughter of the Crimson Demons' leader, and my self-proclaimed rival.
So you did remember!
I see. Well, I'm one of her adventuring friends, Kazuma.
Nice to meet you, Yunyun.
H-Huh?
You're not laughing at my name?
Well, y'know, in this world of ours,
there are some who have weird names in the first place,
but still end up with disgraceful nicknames like "Crazy Exploding Girl."
You mean me? You're talking about me, aren't you?!
How did that name attach itself to me and I'm only now hearing about it?!
I-Impressive, Megumin. You've found good allies!
Cut it out! Don't touch me!
As befits my rival!
I'll defeat you and become first among the Crimson Demons!
Now, Megumin, I challenge you to a duel!
I'd rather not. It's too cold.
Why?!
Please, fight me!
No, thank you.
Please!
One fight! Just once!
You somehow managed today,
No.
Then when can we have a duel?!
but I'm not fully convinced this wasn't just an act to deceive me.
How should I know?
But why?! Megumin!
Excuse me.
Well, I'll make arrangements for the guild to haul the toad meat in.
I said no.
Come on, Megumin! Just one little duel!
Not happening.
I don't really appreciate being left on my own with these two...
Aw, come on, Megumin!
Very well, then.
I can no longer use my magic today,
so let's make it a contest in the martial arts that you're supposed to be skilled at.
Really?
I mean, you barely attended martial arts class at the academy...
Stare.
And every lunch period, you'd show up like clockwork,
Stare...
challenge me to a duel, and then steal my lunch...
Stare...
Girl...
It was a matter of life and death for me.
Due to personal circumstances, her lunches were the only thing keeping me alive.
All right, then that will be how we fight!
Seriously?
Very well.
Now then, come at me as you will!
Judging from their builds, it looks like Yunyun's gonna win this.
I can't even begin to imagine Megumin being any good at unarmed combat.
M-Megumin...
Um, your body's still kind of shiny...
That's right.
What you see clinging to every inch of me are the fluids from inside a toad's stomach.
Come! The moment you get close to me,
I'll grab you with both arms
and put you in a submission hold!
N-No way!
You're trying to make me lose my will to fight so I'll give up, aren't you?
Right?
We're friends, aren't we?
And I believe friendship means sharing in each other's suffering.
No!
C'mon. C'mon. C'mon.
C'mon! C'mon! C'mon!
I give up! I'll give up!
Stay away from me!
C'mon!
I give up! I already gave up!
I win again!
S-Stop it!
Damn you!
K-Kill—
She actually ran off crying.
Kazuma.
The spoils of war.
Sell it to start making your payments.
Are you sure?
It is of no use to a grand sorceress such as myself, who operates beyond
the bounds of society.
Do you ever think about learning skills other than explosion ma—
Never.
Yeah, I figured.
What is it?
I was just thinking that you're prettier than that other girl.
Wait!
Well, thank you very much!
As thanks, let me give you a big hug!
S-Stay away from me!
You should be happier.
Some people would pay money to have a slimy girl all over them.
You reek of toads!
I never thought an embrace could be so unpleasant...
Chomusuke!
Were you a good—
Well, I'm off to the bath.
What is it?
Surely you've heard of "ladies first"?
I yearn for true gender equality.
I have no patience for one who talks about female privilege when it suits them,
and then complains about someone "not being a man" when it's convenient!
Besides, if you want to be treated like a lady, you should grow into one first!
You're treating me like a child again, aren't you?!
For the record, I'm only three years younger than you!
Yet you seem like just a kid to me, so you're wasting your time!
This guy's actually taking his clothes off!
I'm not backing down on this one!
No matter what! Get it?!
If you do, then get out of here already!
I see. So you don't really see me as a woman, then.
In that case, I may as well join you.
True. Getting in together will solve both our problems.
Wha?!
E-Excuse me, doesn't this usually call for a response like,
"D-Dummy! I could never do that!"
And then bashfully allowing me to use the bath first?
Just so you know, I'm not the type to go for clichés.
Say, for instance, you were in love with me,
and some other girl was making moves on me.
If you were to, out of jealousy, inflict some unjust violence on me,
I would fight back with no hesitation.
I'm a guy who does what he has to do!
You'd do well to remember that!
I get the feeling your application of that saying leaves something to be desired,
but all right, fine.
So after provoking me like that, you're not gonna join me?
I'm surprised at your lack of resolve.
How dare you?!
You think I lack resolve?!
Yep.
Them's fighting words! Fine, I'll get in!
It's just a bath! I can do that!
Ouch!
Now, stop skulking behind that towel, and and let's get in the bath!
Whoa, whoa, whoa! What are you doing?!
Stop, you idiot!
Don't pull on it, you perv! Show a little shame!
Out with it!
Hey.
Yes?
I thought cats didn't like baths.
She likes to stay clean.
Hey...
Yes?
Is that other girl gonna be okay?
I'm sure I'll see her again.
She chases after me, claiming to be my rival, after all.
She's the same age as you, right?
Why don't you just come out and say what you were thinking when you looked at me just now?
I was thinking how everybody matures at their own pace—
Darkness blacker than black and darker than dark...
Hey, cut that out!
It's bad for my heart!
I'm sure that in another year or two,
I'll have a body that'll have Yunyun crying for forgiveness...
I would appreciate it if you'd stop staring so intently!
Why are we in the bath together?
Why bring that up now?
Why would you suddenly come to your senses?!
Well, I mean, anyone seeing this would probably react—
I'm back!
Hey, I got the cash for the toad meat!
Is it locked?!
Did you lock the door to the bath?!
I-I didn't!
Wh-Wh-What do we do?!
Kazuma? Megumin? I'm back!
It'd be nice if someone would say something!
Huh? The bath?
Freeze!
Either I'm doomed, or my magic holds out!
Hey!
Anyone there?
Hold out, magic power of mine!
If Aqua sees us, it'll mean getting called "Pedo-NEET" and "Lolimaniac"
and other disgraceful nicknames!
I don't even have the strength to stand.
Megumin, when you get out of the bath, let's have lunch.
Actually, get out of there already.
I'm all slimy myself, y'know!
That was a close one. If things had gone on much longer...
I almost got branded a lolicon.
Hey, Megumin.
Sorry to ask, but I can't move, so could you dry me off?
Hey.
Why don't you explain exactly why getting into the bath with me makes you a lolicon?
Hey, wait, stop it!
What are you trying to do?! You'll be branded a female pervert!
Hey, A-Aqua!
Aqua! The little girl is bullying me!
Pedo-NEET.
12 Giant Toads Killed
Today's Results
The day after receiving my disgraceful title,
we dropped by Wiz's shop to figure out what to do about my debt.
Hey!
I'm looking to sell this.
She's here to—
M-My name is Yunyun!
What a coincidence!
What a quirk of fate!
To think that we would have an encounter here!
You truly are my lifelong rival!
She heard that you all visit my store regularly
and has been waiting all morning.
Wh-What are you saying, shopkeep?!
I just came by to buy some magic items...
U-Um, I'd like this!
KONOSUBA!
I see.
You could've just come by the mansion instead of doing all this.
But I can't just visit someone's home unannounced...
It's always half-measures with you.
That's why you can't make friends.
Is that true?
Yunyun is the rare Crimson Demon who's embarrassed by her name.
She would usually eat lunch alone at the academy.
Now, now.
And whenever I would cross her line of sight,
she'd gleefully challenge me over and over.
I-It wasn't that bad!
I did have some friends.
I can hardly believe what I'm hearing.
You had friends, Yunyun?
Of course! Even I had friends!
There was Funifura-san and Dodonko-san,
who would always say, "We're friends, right?" and I would treat them to lunch...
Hey, stop!
I don't want to hear any more!
Well, since I can only use explosion magic,
I would rather avoid magic duels.
Would you learn some other magic already?
You're bound to have unused skill points, right?
Yes, I do.
And I intend to put them all into "Explosion Magic Power Boost"
and "High-Speed Casting."
Stupid! Why are you so obsessed with explosion magic?!
That's right, you tell her!
You've always been this way, Megumin!
All this talk of duels... For classmates, you guys sure are vicious.
Your lack of appreciation for explosion magic makes you the crazy one.
Hey, hey.
Maybe this would be good?
"The friendship crystal."
Oh, only a seasoned magic user can use that effectively.
If you can use it well, can you make friends?
Well, yes.
I know! Why not try it?
I hardly see the need to make friends...
Have you lost your nerve, Megumin?
In other words,
being able to use this more effectively is proof of greater spell casting skill!
I challenge you, Megumin!
If you insist, then I will demonstrate for you
the power of a true magic user!
Today is the day we settle this score!
Just what I'd expect from Crimson Demons.
Now, crystal, demonstrate your power!
The crystal's power is activating!
It's never projected this much before!
They both have incredible magic!
What... is this?!
Is she gathering bread crusts?
Wait a minute...
Happy birthday!
Is she... by herself?
Dang it!
Onee-chan, you're amazing!
Not bad! But how about this?!
You're so great!
Onee-chan, this is great!
I wouldn't even mind a devil for a friend at this point...
She's working odd jobs to take her "friends" out to eat?!
Wait, why is she...
eating a bug?
What is this?!
Shopkeep, you said this crystal would create friendship, right?!
This is a valued item that deepens feelings of friendship and love
by exposing past embarrassment... actually...
Megumin! Hey, Megumin!
Is this going to make us friends?!
KONOSUBA!
I'll just put that on your tab, Kazuma-san.
Hang on. Megumin was the one who broke it.
Yunyun was the one who wanted to use it.
She'll pay.
My duel... I finally got her to duel, and...
How long are you going to mope?
But how do we know who won?
Can we call it a draw?
I don't mind.
I'm not childish enough to be competitive over games anymore.
Come to think of it, didn't we used to compete to see who would grow faster?
If you think you're not childish anymore, do you want to do that again?
That's not what I mean when I talk about being childish.
After all, I'm...
in the kind of relationship with Kazuma here where we bathe together.
Hey!
Oh, my!
Don't joke about that!
Is this the mouth?!
Is this the mouth trying to make my reputation even worse?!
I-I'll...
I'll admit that I lost today!
Come again!
She's a lively girl.
You are, too.
I win again!
Episode 3
Peace for the Master of This Labyrinth!
Here is the progress report I said I would send. Mr. Kazuma seemed like a problem at first, but he's become a seasoned and formidable adventurer. Absolutely not the kind of person to sexually harass anyone or get into debt. My assessment of his character proves to be on point. Yes, I am a really capable goddess. I've even gained the respect of the construction bosses, so my daily wages have gone up. I think I can keep working it and my side jobs with the fake flowers and the milk cartons, at this rate. ...No, I don't just work part-time jobs!
