Achoo!
My, oh my, are you catching a cold? Take care, now.
You're sounding pretty nasal yourself, Kazuma-san.
I'll hurry and fix this tracksuit for you.
You're the one who threw it in the fireplace, though.
My, oh my, feeling hungry?
Actually, I guess I haven't eaten breakfast yet.
You're the one who got carried away and spent all our money on booze, though.
But... everyone was having so much fun partying!
That looks like the fancy bubbly I had hidden under my bed...
I wonder if the pawn shop's open...
Come here, Chomusuke.
Give it back! That's my last bottle!
It's my last hope!
I'm gonna go trade it for cash right now!
And if I can't, I'll just drink it all right here!
Maybe that would warm me up a little!
Don't! I can't fall asleep if I'm not holding that bottle!
You're making demands like that after burning my tracksuit?!
You ought to go sell that raiment, too!
What are you saying?!
This raiment is part of my identity as a goddess!
There's no way I can sell it!
Are you stupid? Why are you being so stupid?!
Steal!
Kazuma-sama!
I'm sorry for getting carried away, so please stop!
Shut up!
We haven't repaid any of our debt and Darkness still isn't back!
You should be more concerned about that!
Trouble, Kazuma! Major trouble!
Who are you?
KONOSUBA! God's Blessing on this Wonderful World! 2
Episode 4 A Betrothed for This Noble Daughter!
Who are you?
Huh? She's... glad?
Kazuma! Can't you save this kind of play for later?!
Yes?
Wait... Is that you, Darkness?
We were so worried!
Darkness!
Kazuma... Kazuma, he...
He stripped me against my will
and wants to sell my most intimate possession!
Wha?!
Hey! Word choice!
Welcome back, Darkness.
Oh, Megumin. It's good to be back.
That cat...
I won't ask what happened.
First, take a nice, long bath...
and let your body and soul recover...
Uh, what are you talking about?
I'm more curious about what Aqua was describing...
No doubt about it. This is an expensive dress.
You must've been through so much...
Where are you getting your weird ideas?!
Do you think the lord had his way with me or something?
We're just glad you're back.
Go on, take that warm bath and cry your heart out.
You're wrong! He didn't have the guts to demand that much from me!
Look at this! This is the problem!
What is it?
Wow, what a handsome guy!
Pisses me off.
What are you doing?!
My hands moved on their own...
So the hot guy is the lord's son, huh?
In exchange for the lenience you received, he demanded
an arranged marriage meeting with his son.
The reason I was away for so long
is because I was trying to figure out a way to prevent it.
My father doesn't hold Aldarp in high regard,
but he thinks highly of his son.
He's the one most excited about the idea.
Please! Come with me,
and help me convince my father!
Here you go.
How about it? Good as new, right?
How is it that you're so versatile when it comes to stuff like this?
It's true...
If we don't do something, our valuable crusader is going to be married off.
Our valued...
Thank you, Aqua.
She'll be... married?
It's getting to the point where I'm having trouble refusing.
Which means our crusader who can't land any hits will be leaving our party?
Oh, it's fine! Something like this is a piece of cake for a goddess!
No one would be able to tell it's not the original!
It's not that I'm trying to subtly kick her out of the party...
Literally godly skills! You can praise me some more—
Kazuma?
That's it!
I'm Kazuma.
What do you mean, I should accept the arranged marriage?!
Don't you care if Darkness can't adventure with us anymore?!
Look, refusing the arrangement
is just going to make that lord guy even less reasonable!
That's true...
In that case, you have to accept the arrangement, but then ruin it!
Ru—
And do it without hurting your family's name.
That's it! Let's do that!
If it works, I won't have to slap my father silly
every time he brings up the subject of marriage!
I feel bad for your old man...
Satou Kazuma!
Is Satou Kazuma here?!
Wh-What is it this time?!
There are strange monsters surrounding the town.
Do you know anything about that?
Huh?
You will accompany us at once.
We have to refuse.
One of our most precious comrades is facing a grave crisis!
We cannot afford to ignore it!
Megumin...
Hey, calm down!
Hang on...
Aqua I can manage,
but Megumin is weirdly smart about certain things.
Better to get her out of the way.
Megumin...
Please, go.
If there's a large number of monsters,
that's a job for your explosion magic.
It's okay. You can leave Darkness to Aqua and me.
But...
You're the only one who can do this.
I'm the only one?!
We're counting on you, ultimate arch wizard!
I will demonstrate my power!
KONOSUBA!
Y-You're certain, then, Lalatina?
I am, Father.
I, Lalatina, have decided to attend the meeting for this arranged marriage.
And these two are...?
My adventuring friends.
They will accompany me at the meeting as a temporary butler and maid.
How does it fit?
I think it's okay.
Hey, that looks good on you.
You look like a proper servant!
I think the "wannabe-butler who's trying too hard" look suits you too, Kazuma.
Oh, that was so funny.
If we weren't in a noble's mansion,
I would've had to let you have it.
Right, Miss Lalatina?
D-Don't call me "Miss Lalatina"!
Her father ended up asking me for help.
He requested I ensure his daughter wouldn't cause an incident.
And if the meeting goes well, he'll reward me!
I can't help but feel motivated.
You know what to do, right? I'm counting on you.
I'm glad you decided to attend the meeting.
I want you to find happiness, Lalatina.
Please, Father.
I simply said that I'd consider the arranged marriage.
What?
And after considering it,
I've decided that it's still too soon for me to get married.
It's too late now!
I agreed to meet with him, but I never said I would marry him!
I'll destroy it...
I'll destroy this stupid meeting!
L-Lalatina!
Please refrain from using such vulgar language.
You'll give your partner a bad impression.
You rat! Are you betraying me?!
I am currently serving as a temporary butler for the Dustiness family.
My wish is for your happiness, milady.
K-Kazuma-kun!
Damn you, Kazuma!
Sir Walther!
So you've come...
You're the one they intend for me to marry?
I am Dustiness Ford Lalatina!
You can call me Mistress Dus—
Milady! Please watch your step!
I thought you were going to help me!
Did you forget the part about not besmirching your family's name?
If I have a bad reputation, fewer people will consider marrying me,
and I can continue to focus on adventuring!
I'm even prepared to be disinherited!
Even then, I will survive as best I can
and continue accepting quests I'm unqualified for,
until I am overwhelmed and captured by the Devil King's army,
held down by them...
That doesn't sound like the Devil King. Sounds like a perv.
That's the kind of life I want!
You finally came out and admitted it...
Besides, he's far from my type of man.
First, he seems to be of absolutely decent character.
He never angers toward anyone.
He works hard
and was strong enough to achieve knighthood at the earliest age on record.
That sounds pretty good to me.
How?!
If you're a noble, you should act like one,
with a vulgar grin on your face at all times!
What exactly is that pure, focused gaze of his?!
I want something more...
Like what Kazuma always does,
when he looks at me as if he's licking me all over with his gaze!
I-I-I do not look at you that way!
He never angers?!
What a moron!
Using a maid's mistakes to subject her to all kinds of punishment
is what nobles are supposed to do!
Besides, the type I like is
the polar opposite of such a competent man!
He's not particularly attractive and can be either scrawny or fat.
He needs to be weak-willed enough that, despite my love for him,
he's easily strung along by another woman's affection.
Someone who's in rut all year round— the more perverse, the better!
A failure at life, who tries to take the easiest route possible!
And if he's in debt, that'd be even better!
Then he could drink all day and never work,
and complain that it's society's fault he's a loser!
He'd throw an empty bottle at me while saying...
"Hey, Darkness.
Why don't you use that nasty body of yours to earn us some cash?"
Damn it all! This girl is completely hopeless!
Well, let me introduce myself.
I am Alexei Barnes Walther.
I am Dustiness Ford Lalatina.
I'll spare you the specific details of my family.
Telling them to an upstart noble's son
wouldn't do any—
Is something wrong?
N-Nothing. It's just, seeing your face made me feel si—
Eee!
It seems meeting you has made milady a bit over-excited, Walther-sama.
Actually, she does seem quite flushed...
I must say, I'm embarrassed.
Hey, milady.
Mouth off any more and you're gonna get it even colder, got it?
I-I consider it a reward.
The daughter of this household never breaks character.
I suppose I might be in the way here.
Why don't you two go for a walk in the garden?
What was that?! Awesome! I should have her teach me later!
Do you have any hobbies?
I enjoy a bit of goblin hunting—
You certainly seem to get along well.
Did I overdo it?
Hee-hee.
Hee-hee?
Yes, this butler accompanies me at all times.
We take our meals and baths together...
A-And of course, in bed at night...
Where exactly is this pervert's shame threshold?
Enough! I can't put up with this any longer!
Now, Walther, was it?
You'll accompany me to the training hall, now!
I'll test your mettle there!
Hey! Darkness...
See?!
If you're a noble,
you should learn to maintain a lascivious gaze, like Kazuma here!
Miss Lalatina, I am a knight.
I could never raise my sword to a woman.
You spineless wretch...
Well, Kazuma over here claims to be an advocate of gender equality,
and then boasts about his willingness to dropkick women!
To be honest, I came here to turn down the arranged marriage.
But after seeing you, I've changed my mind.
You speak frankly, but you still have a charming side.
It's refreshing how you don't mince words,
and the way you treat your servant as an equal...
I've taken an interest in you.
Isn't this enough?! Why won't you give up?!
What's wrong?!
Don't hold back! Keep it coming!
Show me the strength of your resolve!
This entire time, Darkness's sword hasn't hit anything,
with Walther having the clear advantage... and yet...
I concede.
I may have greater skill, but your strength of will was greater.
I cannot strike you any more.
You are a truly strong person.
It feels like he's given in
after Darkness demonstrated how firm her resolve is...
But knowing how her head works, I just can't be impressed.
You spineless fool!
Fine, come on, Kazuma!
Demonstrate your ruthlessness and depth of depravity to Walther!
What the heck is she saying?
I'd actually like to see
the kind of fighting a man who's earned Miss Lalatina's trust would display.
And here's Walther, making things worse.
Well, the arranged marriage is off anyway...
Besides, I doubt you'd spread any bad rumors about milady here.
Yes! That's it, Kazuma!
I've actually been waiting to face off against you!
Now, give me everything you have—
Create Water!
Is something wrong?
I didn't expect you to use magic in a duel of swords...
Is that how it works?
What a creep.
It's clear Kazuma-san is unrivaled at the art of sexual harassment.
Such a creep.
I wasn't trying to—
See, Walther?!
You need to pay close attention to how he does this sort of thing!
Oh, damn it!
You want everything I have?! Then here it comes!
Freeze!
H-He's a demon!
Not only does he douse her with water in winter,
but then he uses ice magic?!
Well, he earned names like "Crapuma" and "Kazutrash" for a reason.
This total lack of mercy!
Th-This... is so good!
Whoa, whoa, whoa!
That's it, Darkness!
Puny Kazuma has no chance against you in a grappling match!
I am so gonna sell off that raiment of hers later!
You think you can overpower me?! How insulting!
The difference in strength between a crusader like me and an adventurer like you is—
You should know I wouldn't fight fair!
We've known each other long enough! Figure it out!
Ow!
D-Drain Touch, eh?
But before you can drain my stamina,
I'll break your arms!
G-Go ahead and try— Ow, ow, ow, ow!
This is bad... I keep draining, but this workhorse isn't slowing down!
H-Hey... How about a little wager?
The loser has to do any one thing the winner says.
Very well! When I win, I'll have you kneel before me!
Here's my chance!
All right, then, it's a promise.
And when I win, you can cry and beg, but I'm not gonna stop!
Wh-What are you going to do?
Something that'll have you crying and begging for forgiveness!
I can already picture you desperately begging me for mercy...
I'll make you say, "Please stop! Please forgive me!"
Oh, don't get ahead of me, you greedy girl!
Because what I have in mind is way crazier than whatever you're thinking!
Wha— S-Stop it!
I-I want to resist, but the Drain Touch is sapping my strength...
I'm pretty sure she's just loosening her grip.
At this rate, I will lose...
Amazing...
I'm gonna drain your stamina until you pass out!
I've got something crazy for you when you wake up!
Look forward to it!
No matter how you humiliate me, my heart will nev—
Crazy?
Something crazy...
S-Something... crazy...
Something crazy?!
Go on, take that warm bath and cry your heart out.
K-K-K-Kazuma!
Wh-What were you planning to do with my leftover bathwater?!
Sh... Sho...
Shomefing cwazy!
I-I win!
I see why they call you "Kazutrash"!
How rude!
I just came by with something to... drink...
They did it.
Okay, execute them.
No! You've got it all wrong!
KONOSUBA.
My daughter has always been a bit awkward around people...
Even after becoming a crusader, she was still alone.
Every day, she'd drop by Eris-sama's church,
praying for friends to adventure with...
And then, one day, she finally had one.
She was so happy when she returned and told me about the thief girl she had met.
Her mother died when she was young, so I may have spoiled her a bit...
But I also tried to let her have her freedom.
Maybe that wasn't for the best...
Nah, I think that's her, not you.
Miss Lalatina is a wonderful woman.
If it weren't for Kazuma-kun, I'd sincerely want to marry her myself.
Sorry, but I'm not sure what you're trying to say.
I think you can make Miss Lalatina happier than I could.
Hey, you wanna step outside?
I don't care if you're a lord's son!
Kazuma-san, cut it out! You're gonna get me executed, too!
Kazuma-kun, please continue to look after my daughter.
Make sure she doesn't do anything too foolish.
Please.
Uh... Well... Sure.
Oh, you're awake.
These clothes... Is it already over?
Did you do something foul to me while I was unconscious?!
I did not! I haven't done anything yet!
While you were asleep, things got kinda serious!
Hee-hee.
Hee-hee?
Father, Walther-sama...
Please, forget about this arranged marriage meeting.
I've been keeping it a secret, but...
Kazuma's child is growing inside me...
Hey! How the hell can you say that about a virgin like me?!
I see. You're having Kazuma-kun's child, then?
I'll tell my father that I decided to refuse the arrangement.
That'll probably be more convenient.
Uh... Yeah...
He's a really nice guy...
C'mon, man, take Darkness off my hands!
Hee-hee.
A grandchild... My first grandchild...
F-F-F-Finally, I'll have a darling grandchild...
I didn't realize the two of you were like that...
G-Gotta tell someone... Gotta tell the guys in town!
That Kazutrash and Darkness are—
Why did you believe her, too?!
Satou Kazuma! Is Satou Kazuma here?!
Episode 5
Servitude for This Masked Knight!
Beloved Father. I no longer wish to strike a member of my family whom I care for. Are you aware that "tough love" is often harder on the one giving it than on the recipient? Especially on their hearts. So for now, please, allow me to live life as a knight for the time being. From your disobedient daughter, Lalatina.
Beloved Father.
I no longer wish to strike a member of my family whom I care for.
Are you aware that "tough love" is often harder on the one giving—
