Destroyer alert! Destroyer alert!
All citizens, evacuate at once!
All adventurers, equip yourselves and report to the adventurer's guild!
Kazuma!
We're running away! We're running far away!
Huh?
The mobile fortress, Destroyer...
Fighting that thing is reckless, at best.
Yeah, yeah.
I keep asking, what's a Destroyer?!
An ancient weapon that went on a rampage.
They say that where it passes through, not even grass remains.
Hey, everyone. We're going to the guild.
Why?
Like hell we're gonna let the house we finally earned,
after so much work, be destroyed that easily!
All of you are this city's last bastion of hope.
We humbly request your assistance.
At present, the mobile fortress, Destroyer,
is on a direct path our way, invading from the northwest.
One hour remains until its arrival.
Um...
The Destroyer was created by an ancient magical kingdom, correct?
Did the people who created it prepare any countermeasures?
They were the first to perish in the Destroyer's rampage.
This is an impossible game.
Such a strong foe isn't supposed to come to a city of novice adventurers!
If only Mitsurugi-san were here right now...
I wonder where he went.
You should all run away immediately.
No, they can't.
The townspeople will all lose their homes.
You're as stubborn as ever, Darkness.
Hey, you.
Got any bright ideas?
That's asking a lot...
Aqua, couldn't you break its barrier?
I have no way to know unless I try.
You can break the Destroyer's barrier?!
N-No, I just thought maybe—
Even so, couldn't you at least try it?
S-Sure...
Aside from that,
we'll need some heavy-hitting magic...
We have that.
If we need firepower, we have her, don't we?
The crazy one.
Thats's right. The crazy one!
We do have the crazy girl!
Stare...
Hey, wait!
If you're talking about me, don't call me by that nickname!
Otherwise, I'll prove just how crazy I am
right here and now!
Your explosion magic is the greatest firepower this city has.
What do you say, Megumin?
I don't think even my explosion magic can take it down in a single blow.
I'm sorry I'm late!
I'm the proprietor of Wiz's Magical Tool Shop.
I'm a qualified adventurer, so I've come to help...
It's the shopkeeper!
The destitute shopkeeper is here!
We can win this! We can win this now!
Huh? Huh?
Why is she so famous?
And don't call her a "destitute shopkeeper." I feel bad for her.
Don't you know?
She made a name for herself as a master arch wizard once upon a time.
Her true identity is an undead lich, though...
All right, everyone.
The emergency quest will now begin!
Emergency Quest
Protect the City from the Mobile Fortress, Destroyer!!
No Level Requirement | Compulsory Participation
Hurry! The big one's gonna be here any second!
Right!
Hey, Darkness. I know how stubborn you are,
but set aside your hopeless fetishes for now and join me at the edge of the road—
Given my usual behavior, it can't be helped that you would think that way,
but do you really think I'm a woman of such rigid adherence to my own desires?
Sure. It's obvious you are.
Wha—
A-Ahem.
I must protect the inhabitants of this land.
I'm sure the residents of this city won't pay me any mind,
but that, at the very least, is how I feel.
Do you have some reason for that?
My real name is Dustiness Ford Lalatina.
Lala— What was that?
I'm the daughter of the Dustiness family, which governs this area.
So you're a rich girl?!
Don't tell the others.
Oh, uh, sure...
I am a knight.
Protecting the livelihoods of my countrymen is both my duty and my honor.
Okay...
Do you dislike selfish, stubborn allies?
A certain arch priest's selfish whims
annoy me and make me want to slap her.
But I don't mind when someone like you is selfish.
I see.
Lalatina.
Don't call me by that name!
KONOSUBA!
All adventurers!
The Destroyer will be within sight soon!
Please prepare for battle!
It... It's huge...
Will we be okay? Can we handle this?
Hey, Wiz!
You're up for this, right?!
Please leave it to me, Aqua-sama.
I may not look it, but I am the highest-ranked undead.
You're really up for this, right?!
If I should fail, let's return to the soil together on good terms.
That's not funny! That's not funny!
Kazuma, are you okay over there?!
I'm okay. I am strong. I am strong.
It's not looking good.
I am the finest of crimson demons, a genius magician...
Hey, calm down. Try not to overthink it.
I-I'll blow... blow it away with my explosion magic!
Hey, hey, too soon, too soon!
Here it comes!
Sacred...
Break Spell!
Now!
Megumin-san, launch a concurrent strike!
Hey, Megumin!
Hey! Is your love for explosion magic the real deal?!
If you're outdone by Wiz, you'll be a disgrace!
Is your explosion magic so wimpy, it can't even destroy that thing?!
What was that?!
You just said the one thing
you must never say to me, even worse than mocking my name!
I'll show you what real explosion magic is!
Darkness blacker than black and darker than dark,
I beseech thee, combine with my deep crimson.
The time of awakening cometh.
Justice, fallen upon the infallible boundary,
appear now as an intangible distortion!
Explosion!
You did it, Megumin.
That's a lich for you. Her level far exceeds my own.
How frustrating...
There, there. Good job, good job.
They did it?
When this is all over, I'm getting married.
Hey, don't say anything that'll trigger a flag right now!
Come on, let's go back and celebrate!
I wonder how much the reward will be!
You idiot! Why do you love clichés like that?!
Huh?
See?! What did I tell you?!
Huh?!
Due to extreme damage, the self-destruct sequence will now initiate.
All crew, please evacuate immediately.
Are you serious?!
Emergency Quest
Protect the City from the Mobile Fortress, Destroyer!!
No Level Requirement | Compulsory Participation
Initiating self-destruct sequence.
Super Emergency Quest
Prevent the Mobile Fortress, Destroyer, from Self-Destructing!!
It's no use.
It can't be done!
It's hopeless! Run for it!
Darkness! We're evacuating!
I cannot withdraw until the very end.
A knight mustn't run away before her countrymen.
Darkness...
Besides, when I think about exposing myself to
a bomb massive enough to obliterate a city, I wonder...
Huh?
What is this rising excitement like nothing I've felt before?
Will I be able to withstand it?
No, no matter how sturdy I may be, it's unlikely I'll get through this unscathed.
I can't stand it any longer!
Kazuma!
Yes, I'm Kazuma.
I'm charging in!
Huh? Hey!
I'll be back!
Hey, Darkness-san is charging in!
Huh?!
I see! She intends to destroy it before it can explode!
All to protect the city!
I'm going for it!
I owe this city so much!
Even though I'm already past level 30...
I remember now why I'm still in this city of beginners.
In fact, after all the inexpensive hospitality I've received...
If I can't repay that debt now, I'm done for as a human being!
Yeah!
Don't be scared! We'll follow her, too!
Yeah!
Go!
Come on! Whoever's in charge, show yourself!
Kazuma-san.
If we can locate the control device,
we may be able to stop the self-destruct.
Darkness definitely barged in without thinking of that.
It's open!
The way this is going, we can leave things to them.
Let's go home. Let's go home and try hard again tomorrow...
Come on, you useless goddess!
Huh?! N-No!
Found it!
I want to go home!
Take a look at that.
Is that a member of the crew?
He's already passed on.
Not only did he not turn undead,
but he passed away peacefully, with no lingering attachments.
No, he must have had attachments!
He totally looks like he died a solitary, lonesome death...
What's this?
"This country's bigshots made an unreasonable request.
Telling me to create a mobile fortress on this pittance?
Absurd."
Is this his diary?
They asked about a power source, too, but what do I care?
I told them to bring me some legendary coronatite or something.
They actually brought it! What should I do?
Will I get the death penalty if it doesn't work now?
Please work! I'm begging you!
All done. As of this moment, it's going on a rampage.
The country has perished. Oh, no!
It was wiped out!
Oh, no!
Still, I feel kind of relieved. I'm satisfied.
All right, I've decided.
I'll spend the rest of my life right here.
I can't get out of this thing, anyway. I can't stop it, either.
The guy who created this must be an idiot!
Whoops, I was the one responsible for creating it.
The end.
Don't screw with us!
KONOSUBA!
We let Dust and the others get away first,
but what do we do with this?
The coronatite is out of control.
Can't you do something about this?
Doesn't it happen all the time?
A goddess seals away an evil power or something?
What's with that self-serving, wild idea?
Hey, Wiz, can't you do something about this?
I could use teleportation magic to send it somewh—
Do that!
But I don't have enough magic!
Um, Kazuma-san...
I have a request.
Wh-What is it?
Would you let me suck it out?
With pleasure.
I won't say something as tasteless as "Suck what out?"
I'm not the dense type who would get worked up and
play dumb at a time like this.
Thank you!
No, thank you.
Now, then...
Bring it.
Dad, Mom, I'm about to become an adult in this parallel—
I'm sorry! Drain Touch!
H-Hey! Kazuma-san is drying up!
What a letdown...
I should be able to use teleportation magic now!
I see.
But there's a problem.
I have limited control over its destination.
Hey, this isn't good!
The stone's surpassed red, and is shining white now!
I can send it away immediately if I do a random teleport, but...
Do that, then!
But if it goes poorly,
it could be sent somewhere densely populated.
It's a big world out there!
It's okay. I'll take responsibility.
I may not look it, but I apparently have good luck!
Understood.
Please do, Kazuma-san.
Teleport!
Initiating... self...
This is where you were, Darkness?
It's not over.
My sharp sense of smell can sniff out a worthy foe,
and it's still detecting the savory aroma of danger.
It's not over yet.
Huh?
What's that?!
Hey, I thought we removed the coronatite!
Could this be...
Its internally-stored heat is escaping?
At this rate, the city will become a sea of flames!
So there was no point in sending the coronatite away!
Use Explosion one more time!
I'm out of magic.
Out of magic, huh?
Now that I think about it, this city's guild issued my loans,
Stare...
so if it were to go boom right now...
Hey, you self-proclaimed something-or-other.
Hey, I don't have time to deal with you right now.
I'd rather just let this—
You shut-in NEET! What're you doing in this state of emergency?!
It's because this is a state of emergency!
I'm going to share your magical power with Wiz
so she can use explosion magic!
Wait! If you inject her with a large amount of my holy power,
she'll definitely disappear!
For real?!
The star takes the stage.
Megumin!
I fell behind earlier, but that was... Yes!
I just felt slightly under the weather!
I shall show you true explosion magic!
KONOSUBA!
All right, here goes!
I'm ready anytime.
You only get one chance.
I'm betting on your radiance.
Hey, do you understand?
Don't absorb too much, okay? Don't absorb too much, okay?!
I get it, I get it.
That's the god of party tricks' lead-in, right?
No! I'm not trying to sound like some performer!
Yeah, yeah.
Drain Touch is most effective when
absorbing from somewhere with thin skin, close to the heart.
I can't believe I get to use explosion magic twice in a day—
What're you doing out of nowhere?
I thought my heart was going to stop!
What is it? Is this sexual harassment?
You're sexually harassing me in this state of emergency?!
Idiot, that's not it!
I'm using Drain Touch with effectiveness in mind!
Hey! Not you, too!
Just be grateful that I'm not grabbing you from the front!
KONOSUBA!
We've reached a compromise.
I feel it, I feel it!
I should be able to fire the highest grade of explosion magic with this.
Hey, Megumin, are you finished?
I think you've absorbed more than enough already.
A little more... Just a little more.
This could be terrific. It's terrific.
Hey, what is this?
She's not going to detonate, is she?
Oh, blackness shrouded in light...
Frenzied blaze clad in night...
All else aside,
I don't want to be outdone by anyone else
when it comes to explosion magic!
Here I go!
My ultimate destructive magic...
Explosion!
Our battle with the mobile fortress, Destroyer, is over.
This good-for-nothing world,
so very far off from the thrilling adventurer's world I wished for.
My reluctant party of horrible allies.
My life in a house finally obtained after a harsh life in the stables.
My agonizing days of impossible difficulty.
However,
those may have been trials to make me grow.
That was one long tutorial.
Kazuma! We've got trouble!
Knights are coming from the imperial capital!
Oh, are they coming to deliver my compensation in person?
They must be.
With this, my adventure will begin at last!
Adventurer Satou Kazuma.
You are currently suspected of the crime of subversion to the state.
You will come with me.
Huh?!
The coronatite that was teleported at your instruction
obliterated Overlord Aldarp-sama's mansion.
What?!
That's definitely...
What? You're not being compensated?
My next adventure is calling me.
Hey!
That's right. Nothing goes the least bit as I expect it.
That's the sort of good-for-nothing world this is.
Kazuma-san! You're a criminal, Kazuma-san!
Killing the Demon King is totally out of the question now!
Oh, God.
Hey, are you listening?
I pray that if I ever get another chance to go to a parallel world,
What're we gonna do?!
I'm able to go to a wonderful world
where I can actually achieve something cool!
Thank you for your support!
