Damn it!
I wanna talk to whoever's in charge!
I'll give them a piece of my mind!
Oh, my! Whatever is the matter?
Are you here for conversion? Baptism?
Or... are you here for me?
F-For you?
I'm just joking!
Come now, don't take me seriously!
Are you all right in the head?
What do I do now? I want to hit her with a fist!
Our high priest, Zesta-sama, is out screwing around while proselytizing...
That is, he's out spreading the glories of Aqua-sama's name.
Wait, what did you just say?
I'm sorry, but you'll have to come back another time.
Hang on, did a magic user and an arch priest come by here?
Oh, if you're looking for them...
By the way, the woman you came here with
is being stoned by children...
Hey! What're you doing?!
Kazuma...
Even the women and children in this town are pretty advanced.
Just put away your Eris sect charm already! Are you doing this on purpose?
I refuse!
Aqua! Hey, Aqua!
Welcome, my lost lamb.
Now, tell me of your sins.
God will hear them, and will surely grant forgiveness.
KONOSUBA! God's Blessing on this Wonderful World! 2
Episode 9 A Goddess for This Corrupt Hot Springs Town!
Listen, it's me! Y'know, me?
Me!
What's with this town? Do something about your followers already.
I see. You've performed the "It's me" scam, then.
You must think deeply upon your sins.
If you do, surely the merciful goddess, Aqua-sama, will forgive you.
Why are you trying to stonewall me?!
I know what this is. You're enjoying this, aren't you?
You're tickled that you get to do something priestly for once, aren't you?
Do you have anything else to confess?
If not, then leave here, and live a forthright life once again.
Damn it, listen!
Aren't you an arch priest, which are revered around here?
If you'd say something to your followers, it'd take care of all of this!
Control your people a little!
Nothing else, then?
Well, I must wait for the next lost lamb.
Hey!
Now, go forth.
What're you saying?! I said get out of there, damn it!
You get out! You're done confessing, so get out!
That little...
There is actually something I'd like to get off my chest.
Well, please, share it with me!
Confess now, and admit your sins.
Do you have an unhealthy interest in a crusader's laundry?
A desire to stick a magic user's black hair up your nose?
Inappropriate carnal feelings for a beautiful and noble priest?
There's a special cup that a priest friend of mine uses for party tricks...
I accidentally broke it.
Also, she was bragging about how she had bought some rare, fancy liquor.
So I figured, "How good can it be?" and poured a little bit for myself...
But it was better than I expected, so I drank it all,
then replaced it with some cheap hooch since I figured she couldn't tell the difference.
What are you saying? What exactly are you saying, Kazuma?
And since the priest in question is constantly causing problems,
I posted an opening for an Eris sect priest
on the adventurer guild's help wanted board—
You apostate!
Sheesh, I said I was joking.
And you're not really looking for another priest?
Putting aside the first two, that last one wasn't true at all.
Wait, what was that about the other two?
Can we... Can we go home, like, soon?
Please... Please, hear me out.
I have been a member of the Axis faith
and worshiped Aqua-sama for a long time...
But!
The bountiful chest on the portrait of the goddess Eris...
It leads me astray!
That chest is the chest of a devil!
Please forgive my sinful ways in being tempted by another goddess.
Rest easy.
God forgives all.
Thou shalt love big breasts.
Thou shalt love small breasts.
The Axis faith teaches forgiveness in all things.
Whether you're a lolicon, a NEET,
or a questionably-human fan of animal-eared girls...
As long as you're not interested in undead or devil girls,
you have love in your heart, and you don't break the law,
all will be forgiven.
Faithful follower,
I will share holy words that will help you avoid demonic temptation.
"Eris pads her chest."
The next time you feel you are being led astray, chant these words.
If you know anyone else being tempted, you can share it with them.
Eris pads her chest...
I... I feel as though my eyes have been opened!
Let's say it once more, together.
Eris pads her chest!
Thank you for the wonderful incantation!
Is it okay for a goddess to get along by selling out one of her younger co-workers?
Hey, the number and intensity of followers is really important for gods!
They directly influence our power.
I may not have many followers,
but their faith is really strong!
I'd do anything for my adoring faithful!
KONOSUBA!
We're back.
Welcome back!
Are you feeling better?
After taking a bath, I felt back to normal.
That's good to hear.
With no one else here, it was like I had the mixed bath all to myself!
Does that mean...
So, everyone, how did the sightseeing go?
The Axis cult... scares me.
I-I'm thinking about going sightseeing tomorrow, too.
Y-You...
Well, whatever. Do what you want.
I'm gonna head into the bath.
I'm heading into the bath.
We heard you.
Enjoy yourself.
I'm—
Get going already!
What a lovely bath.
Must be nice to be you this morning.
I only came for the baths.
You seem pretty worn out, though.
This place is a demon city...
You've got your hands full, huh?
By the way...
He's been looking right at me this whole time...
Excuse me, but being stared at like this is kind of embarrassing—
Don't mind me.
R-Right... It's a mixed bath, after all.
Don't mind me.
What a bashful lady!
Damn it, I try to be nice,
and it's conversion this, proselytize that,
and they just don't freaking shut up about it for a single second, damn it!
Guess the town's getting to him, too.
This town...
Better not get mixed up with him.
How's that, sir?
Oh, that's the spot!
This soap is nice and sudsy, right?
Huh, I guess.
It can cure any kind of abnormal status, and not only that...
It's actually edible! It only uses natural ingredients, so it's sacred!
You get some if you join the faith!
And it's free!
No, thanks!
If you join now you, can get double points! It's all free!
Don't try to trick me by dressing it up with talk of appealing stuff like points!
KONOSUBA!
I wanna go home. I wanna go home already.
Hup!
Hey, Megumin! It's rude to swim in the bath!
Come on, don't worry about that.
H-Hey! What are you doing?!
Why are you acting so embarrassed?
We're in a rough line of work. We can't afford to be so dainty!
Your logic doesn't make sense!
Oh, my towel!
I was originally just going to drag that pair of lazybones outside,
then hunt the crowds of undead that Aqua attracts with Kazuma, but...
That's what you were after?
In any case, what kind of man is he?
He seems conservative and cowardly at times,
but he never lets social standing bother him,
and will get aggressive against nobles...
You could say he's odd, or maybe just strange—
Shh!
Next to us is the mixed bath.
If he had to choose either the men's bath or the mixed one,
which do you think he'd choose?
He might be timid and tend to blanch at the crucial moment,
but with the right justification, he wouldn't hesitate to enter the mixed bath.
Kazuma, you're there, aren't you?
You're breathing hard with your ear against the wall,
imagining where Darkness is going to wash first, right?
M-Megumin, why make me the example?!
Hey, Kazuma! Are you there? You are, aren't you?!
I guess he's not there.
Maybe I shouldn't have suspected him...
I'll just surreptitiously treat him to a drink later.
I suppose it actually was rude.
He has his faults, but he's pretty reliable in the end.
He might not seem like it,
but he always helps his friends when they need it.
He's not earnest about anything, but at his core, he's a good person.
I'm starting to feel embarrassed about eavesdropping...
By the way, Megumin, I was curious about how your butt—
Hold it right there!
You may be my friend, Darkness, but one more word, and you will pay!
S-Stop it!
Honestly, what is it with these indecent breasts?!
S-Stop!
Now!
See, I knew it!
He was there the whole time, after all!
It makes sense.
I feel Kazuma's lusty gaze on me every day.
There's no way someone as oversexed as him wouldn't be in the mixed bath!
Create Water!
That's cold!
Hey, don't throw the cat!
Wash her in exchange for your eavesdropping!
Must suck for you, having such a weird owner, huh?
KONOSUBA.
This is too much!
I just went into the baths!
Y-Your tears really sting when they hit me, Aqua-sama...
So how many people did you make trouble for today?
What do you mean, trouble?!
Why do you assume I did something wrong?!
It seems, when Aqua-sama went into the secret baths at the main church,
the hot springs changed into regular hot water...
And they kicked me out!
Why am I getting kicked out by the church that worships me?!
Tell me why!
Come to think of it, she purified the tea into water, too...
But the part that made me maddest was when I met the guy in charge...
I apologize for purifying the hot springs into hot water,
but I couldn't help it.
After all, it's because I am the goddess of water, Aqua, in the flesh!
I'm a goddess! I'm a goddess, and he did that!
This town's danger is in peril!
What exactly does "danger in peril" mean?
You were crying all night, and now...
The guy managing the springs told me this...
The quality of the hot springs has been dropping a bit lately.
This is probably the Devil King's army realizing
they'd never win a direct confrontation with my followers,
so instead, they attack our source of income, the hot springs!
Really? Wow, that's something.
Believe me!
I admit it's true that most people are disgusted by and dislike the Axis cult,
but why bother with such an elaborate conspiracy?
I'm going to stand up for this town!
So, you'll all help me, right?
I'm busy with walking around town and other stuff.
I already know how terrifying the Axis cult is,
so I'd rather not get involved.
Why?!
Who cares about your dumb walk?!
And you don't have to hate my followers so much, Megumin!
Wh-What about you, Darkness?
W-Well, I'm... you know...
Please!
Fine! Fine, I'll help! I'll help you, so stop purifying my grape juice!
Wiz is soft on you, so maybe she'll help?
I was crying to her all night, and in the morning, she was fading away again...
So I let her get some rest.
Come on... Come to me!
Why don't you save Wiz before the town?!
Come on, come to me!
Sitting here like this, the town seems pretty nice.
You're right.
The scenery is nice, and the food is good...
The only problem is the people.
My, what nice weather!
Is this a blessing from Aqua-sama?
Here comes one!
And here's the thing about this pot...
Nothing burns in it!
Join the faith now and you are guaranteed one!
So, how about it?
No need to to be shy!
Hmm?
Wow, out for a stroll?
For you, big brother!
For you, little sister!
Join now and you get another, free!
Hey, why won't you look me in the eye when I'm talking to you?!
I'm doing this for your sake! It's for your own good!
Do you think you could swallow a bar of soap?
I don't have that much...
I don't have that much to wash, all right?!
Soap, detergent, soap, detergent, soap, detergent...
Swallow.
Soap, detergent, soap, detergent, soap, detergent—
Swallow.
Soap, detergent, soap, detergent, soap, detergent,
Swallow.
soap, detergent, soap, detergent, soap, detergent,
soap, detergent, soap, detergent, soap, detergent!
I can't swallow this!
It'd make me too clean...
Kazuma-san!
Wiz? You feeling better?
Yes, thank you.
For a moment, I saw my party members from when I was an adventurer
trying to wave me away from the other side of a river,
but I managed to recover!
Doesn't that mean...
What were you doing out here?
Well, actually—
Huh? Wasn't he just...
There was detergent... uh, a man there a moment ago.
Oh, my.
Slay the demons! Defeat the Devil King!
That voice...
I've got a bad feeling about this.
Slay the demons! Defeat the Devil King!
My Axis Church faithful!
The Devil King's army is currently plotting sabotage against this town!
...town.
As for what exactly they're doing, they've put poison in the town's hot springs!
Their villainous deeds have already been confirmed at a number of hot springs!
...of hot springs.
I just was in the hot springs, and nothing was wrong.
That's because I've been making rounds to the hot springs and purifying them all!
So she spent her morning doing a hot springs tour, huh?
But we can't rest easy yet!
Which is why I'd like to ask for your help!
Until this case is solved, please don't use the hot springs!
But this is a hot springs city, priest lady!
If you tell people not to go into our number one attraction, the hot springs,
things are gonna dry up around here!
Why would the Devil King's army do that, anyway?
Because they intend to cut off the Axis Church's source of income!
Yes, the Devil King's army fears those of the Axis faith!
It's definitely not because I'm trying to stop the rest of you
because it's unfair that only I don't get to use the baths!
Now, Axis faithful—
There she is!
That's the pain-in-the-butt woman who's been turning all the hot springs into hot water!
Wait—
Catch her, everyone!
Tie her up! Let's tie her up!
I thought it sounded fishy!
You were trying to trick us, eh?!
Is this some new kind of scam?
What are you really after?!
We work so hard to try and make the world a better place!
This is a wild change of events.
I-It's not like that!
There's a good reason for all this!
I think Aqua-sama is about to start crying!
Everyone, calm down! Just listen to me!
Hey, Darkness, don't just sit there! Say something!
Just like we rehearsed!
You're supposed to beg the Axis Church for its help!
Say it! Quit being shy, and just do it!
P-Please help, Axis Church...
We can't hear you, blonde lady!
Poor thing.
Oh, fine! Then I'll reveal my identity!
Honored followers of the Axis faith,
my name is Aqua.
Yes, I am the one you worship,
Aqua, the goddess of water!
I have come here personally to help you all!
Quit screwing around!
If you think you can pretend to be Aqua-sama
because you have blue hair and eyes, you'll be cursed!
We still oughta tie her up! Tie her up and toss her in the lake!
If she's really the goddess of water, Aqua-sama, she'd be fine in a lake!
Liar!
I bet you're actually a servant of the Devil King's army
here to bankrupt our hot spring city, aren't you?!
It's true! I'm actually a goddess!
But I'm the goddess of this town...
They're so mean!
Why did I get stoned by my own followers?!
Aqua-sama, p-please drink this and calm down.
Otherwise, your agitated holy aura is going to hit me, and I'll...
I want booze.
You're not really that upset, are you?
I understand you're desperate,
but calling yourself a god is a bit much.
But if they go into polluted water, they'll get sick...
Why are you trying to help them after what they put you through?
But if I don't do anything, my dear followers will...
Slay the demons! Defeat the Devil King!
What is this?!
What's going on?
Have my adoring faithful decided to believe me and drop by?
Slay the demons! Defeat the Devil King!
There she is!
The witch who claims the name of a goddess!
Time for a witch hunt!
Episode 10
God's Blessing on This Wonderful Party!
My dear friends Funifura-san and Dodonko-san. Please don't come to visit! I know you said you're two days away from Axel, but please turn back right away! I assure you, I am not just pretending. Right now, the town is suffering from unprecedented storms and earthquakes as the Devil King's generals are waging a siege; things are very dangerous. And is there something you enjoy about cornering someone?! Well?! Is there?! -Yunyun
My dear friends Funifura-san and Dodonko-san.
Please don't come to visit!
I know you said you're two days away from Axel,
but please head back—
