KONOSUBA!2 God's Blessing on this Wonderful World!
Episode 11 God's Blessings on These Wonderful Works of Art!
Hey, did you hear?
Kazuma's party took down another one of the Devil King's generals.
I thought for sure they were a bunch of lunkheads, but they're pretty good!
They even share their coupons!
Can I get your order?
Give it to me straight.
Along with something nice and smoky.
Uh, sir...
What drink do you want served straight?
And we have several different smoked meats...
Whiskey! I meant whiskey!
Straight means a strong whiskey, obviously!
And for the smoked meat, y'know, I obviously meant jerky.
I'll need the brand of whiskey you're interested in...
And jerky is actually dried meat.
If you want something smoked, we've got some good pork at the moment...
Then that's fine! And whatever brand you recommend, thank you!
Coming right up!
Did you see him trying to look cool just now?
Kazuma can barely even hold his liquor, though.
Damn it! Pipe down, peanut gallery!
A-Are you Satou Kazuma-san?
I just became an adventurer recently, and I've heard all about you!
We're basically the same age,
but you've beaten lots of the Devil King's generals already!
I admire you so much! Can I shake your hand?
You seem to have some potential. What's your name?
Ran!
Ran, eh?
Sounds good to me.
Oh my God! I can't believe it!
Here's your drink.
Crap.
I've only had bubbly before.
But I can't embarrass myself now!
Ran...
This one's my treat, as a veteran adventurer.
If you want to be like me, you'll need to be able to handle drinks like these.
Thank you so much!
I'll try!
C-Can I help you? Did you want a handshake, too?
Not at all, Satou-san.
I actually had a request for you,
the veteran adventurer who just pawned his drink off on a rookie.
You wouldn't refuse in front of a fan, would you?
KONOSUBA!
What?! Fight a golem?!
Are you stupid? Are you literally stupid?
I'm not doing it! We're set for money,
so I'm going live the easy life from now on!
The people in town are terrified, y'know!
Don't you feel any sense of duty as an adventurer?!
Who was the guy whining, "No quests! No danger!"
until just a while ago?!
Golems are big, heavy, and hard, aren't they?
I can only imagine the way something so tough would let me have it...
Very well! I, of course, am ready to join you!
Looks like I don't need to explain!
You're in too, right, Megumin?
I'm afraid that I need more girth than a golem offers to be satisfied anymore.
You, the hothead who's always ready to fight?!
Do you think I'm a charging bull or a berserker?!
I have the right to choose who I use my Explosion magic—
This kind of enemy would be trouble, normally,
but with you there, it'll be over in one blast.
And once you do this, your already significant fame
is bound to shine even brighter.
The tale will be told for generations.
And the Legend of Megumin gains a another meaty chapter.
Well, I suppose I have to, then! Let's go! Right now!
How can you be such a pushover, Megumin?
Well, I'm not going! I'll watch the house.
Kill Quest
Eliminate the golem that guards the ruins
Difficulty Level:
Give it back! Give me back my holy implement!
That must be it.
Come on! Give it back!
The giant golem doesn't seem to be around, at a glance.
Come on, Kazuma!
You better not think you can get away with this!
Could it have wandered off?
You can get into a lot of trouble using this thing without being holy!
That won't do! It'll be a loss to the page count of my legend!
Don't blame me!
Seriously, it'll be bad!
Guess we'll have to get closer.
And it won't be my fault! Just give it back, you thieving NEET!
Oh, put a sock in it!
If it's really that important, you should take better care of it!
You were using it to hang out the laundry!
Well, now that we're here, there's no running!
Megumin can one-shot this thing. Just relax!
You do have a point.
Oh, well!
Since it's a small fry that Megumin can one-shot,
let's wrap it up and head home!
Why do you like setting ominous flags so much?
All right, I'll head into the ruins first, then.
The golem could be lurking somewhere.
I's times like these when you should rely on me.
Yeah. You're usually useless once the real trouble starts, after all.
Okay, Megumin, stand by on the edge of the ruins.
Leave it to me!
I'll blow it and the ruins to smithereens!
Yeah, they didn't ask for all that.
Hey, I think the ground is shaking...
Kazuma! I think this might be a bit much, even for me!
K-Kazuma-san...
Yeah?
This is really bad, isn't it?
Kazuma, this thing...
Yeah?
What is it?!
Well, it's pretty obviously not a golem! It's a giant humanoid robot!
A Japanese guy who got reincarnated here is definitely behind this!
You okay, Darkness?!
What's wrong?!
Kazuma, this is bad! It's lighter than it looks!
It won't be able to really let me have it!
Although there is something appealing
about getting trampled by something this large...
Hey, Megumin!
Do the Explosion magic before it's too late for her,
in more ways than one!
I won't!
All right, we'll— Wait, what?
I could never destroy such a cool-looking golem!
Kazuma, Kazuma, let's capture it somehow and bring it home!
This is an emergency! What are you saying?!
I promise to feed it and take care of it!
I'll even handle walks and training!
A pet?! You want a pet that size?!
What is wrong with your brain?!
Hey, Kazuma! Darkness is...
S-Stop it!
Th-This is salacious!
We should see how this plays out.
This man!
N-No!
That said, what do we do?
Don't think you'll have your way with me!
Darkness is in real trouble,
but I can't bring myself to damage that gleaming metal and dynamic form...
Y-You may as well kill me!
I'll make you an even cooler one! Just do something, now!
I'll hold you to that, all right?
It has to be even cooler than that one!
More... Do it more!
Darkness! Get over here before she finishes the incantation!
In the name of the crucible of precepts that I encompass,
the abyssal flesh howls!
Now, become one with my vermilion conquest!
The feeling in my chest!
Do it, Megumin!
Rupture forth, Explosion!
I am totally satisfied today!
I bet.
Not only did I take a beating like none I've had in ages,
but it was under a filthy gaze!
Hey!
It's been so long since I took on such a fulfilling quest!
I wasn't even watching! My filthy gaze wasn't aimed at you!
Aqua, let's take the golem's wreckage back with us!
I'm sure that'll speed along our construction!
How are we supposed to carry something that heavy?
It's magnificent...
I'll make you a Transforming-Combining Dendromaiden
out of milk cartons when we get back, so be patient.
Milk cartons?
Man...
Wait. That seems like bad news.
Well, we're pretty awesome for taking that thing out and coming out of it okay!
Since we all did such a good job today,
let's head home and have something tasty!
Idiot! Why do you have to keep setting flags like that?!
KONOSUBA!
And so, after realizing it was a bit much for Darkness to handle alone,
I courageously distracted the golem,
and that gave Megumin the chance to nail it with her Explosion magic.
By the way, Aqua didn't do squat.
But that's just how it works when we're on the case.
Your party is so amazing!
Well, that bit at the end with the explosion
had a few exaggerations for dramatic effect,
but I need to make things interesting for my first fan, don't I?
Satou Kazuma! Why, if it isn't Satou Kazuma!
You're drinking in the afternoon in a place like this?
Where's Aqua-sama?
Is she not with you?
You're...
Was it... Yamamoto?
No, Tanaka?
Take...
You're not even close! It's Mitsurugi!
Mitsurugi Kyouya! Try to remember it, please!
M-M-Mitsurugi-san?!
Mitsurugi-san, the hero who's famous for wielding a cursed sword?!
Wait. What is this?
You're him, right? The Mitsurugi-san who's even been the talk of the capitol?!
I think I heard you defeated an ancient dragon with a single attack!
Um, m-my name is Ran!
Is it okay if I... if I sh-shake your hand?
Hello there. It's nice to—
I remember now!
Mitsurugi, right. As in the Mitsurugi who lost to me!
Sorry, our contest ended so quickly, I completely forgot!
Huh? Mitsurugi-san?
I see, I see! You beat an ancient dragon, huh?
Wow, gosh, that sure is something!
By the way, I've taken down three of the Devil King's generals.
You never change, do you?
Oh, is that Gram the Cursed Sword you got there?
You were able to track it down and buy it back, eh, Mitsurugi-kun?
Well, good for you!
You look tougher for your efforts, Mitsurugi-kun, my boy!
Excuse me, Satou Kazuma-san?
I have a request for you,
the man who defeated three of the Devil King's generals...
Before you start, I'm not accepting any quests!
We just got through with that hellish golem hunt!
But you said it was easy and you got out unscathed.
KONO...SUBA...
What?! You took on another weird quest?!
Are you stupid?
Are you one of those idiots who only pretends to be smart?
This should be obvious, but I'm really busy right now!
Stop trying to save face and head to the Guild to cancel!
Aqua's right!
We don't have time to waste on that kind of nonsense!
Now, let's put that request out of our heads
and finish Dendromaiden! Quickly!
We need to finish the construction of Transforming-Combining Dendromaiden!
Hey, is that thing really made out of milk cartons?
Sure is. You want one, Kazuma?
Well, you can't have one!
There's only one Transforming-Combining Dendromaiden in the whole world.
If you want it, you'll have to negotiate with Megumin.
I bet she'd actually be successful if she was doing anything else with her life.
Well, we should at least hear what kind of request it is.
If it's a fearsome foe...
I wouldn't be opposed to accepting it!
Transforming-Combining Dendromaiden! Transforming-Combining Dendromaiden!
I'd rather hold off on doing any quests for a while...
It'll be fine.
They just want us to explore the ruins we cleared out the other day.
Transforming-Combining Dendromaiden!
Plus, since we defeated the golem that was guarding the place,
we can take any treasure we find back with—
Let's do it!
KO-NO-SU-BA!
Guild Request
Investigate inside the ruins
Difficulty Level: Unknown
Say, this is just about peeking inside, right?
Couldn't you just use your Lurk skill and handle it yourself?
I don't mind doing it that way,
but I'll be keeping all the treasure I find.
Off we go!
KONOSUBA!
All of this magical equipment defies even my comprehension...
What could it be used for?
From the faint aroma of this thing, I'd guess it was a container for perfume?
That's an air freshener for a toilet!
I'm sure of it...
This place was built by a Japanese person who reincarnated here!
Hey! My Enemy Detection skill just went off!
It's probably just a smaller version of that golem we beat before.
Which means that Darkness should be able to handle it.
And while she has its attention, Kazuma takes it down!
It's not like Megumin and I can do anything against an indoor golem,
so we'll be cheering from the rear!
How about you cast support magic from the rear instead?!
You've got to be kidding me!
My holy magic gets its power from the prayers of my believers!
Why would I waste that on some shut-in NEET?
Why?! Why does it always happen to me?!
Am I really that popular?!
Darkness, use Decoy! Lure them away with your skill!
I already used it, but something's not right!
Could it be...
Aqua! Those are ghosts, or something else that has possessed the golems!
Ghosts that have possessed a humanoid shape!
Undead, in other words!
God Blow!
God...
Requiem.
I am on fire today.
We haven't found anything that looks valuable yet.
And this looks like the last room.
Is this a vault?
Maybe there's a hint on how to open it somewhere...
What's this?
Is it a journal?
What in the world is that?
I'm a Crimson Demon, and even I've never seen this language before.
It's Japanese.
What did the person who wrote this think?
I feel a little guilty about reading someone else's journal, but...
"Parallel World Log, Day 1.
Today I arrived in this world at the request of a goddess.
I was sent to defeat the Devil King and save this world.
I'm sure it'll be an incredibly difficult task,
but I'm determined to see it through."
Hearing that made me feel embarrassed.
We were sent to this world for the same reason, but what have I been doing?
If the receptionist lady hadn't sent me here,
I'd probably be lazing around today...
"Parallel World Log, Day 7.
I tested the power that the goddess granted me.
It has its conditions for use,
but it's incredibly powerful. It lets me create whatever I want.
With it, I think I could even conquer the world.
But my wish remains the same:
defeat the Devil King, and save the people of this world."
The power to create whatever he wanted...
That's definitely a cheat-level power that'd make world conquest possible.
But he, in spite of it all,
still wanted to save this world!
"Parallel World Log, Day 113.
I've been trying, but struggling,
to create something that can stand against the Devil King.
I think the conditions that come with my power may be the problem.
I need a strong desire to be able to create things...
Essentially, how much do I want the thing I'm making?
Does that mean I don't want to defeat the Devil King badly enough?
my doubts keep piling up."
The journal makes it clear how much he struggled.
And at the same time,
I saw how much he was practicing the writing of this world.
The Japanese language gradually began to dwindle in the journal,
until it was replaced with this world's language.
"I understand what I really want.
But it's not as if I don't want to defeat the Devil King.
I'm so lost. Just what is it I should do?
I asked myself that question again and again.
And after I finally overcame my doubts..."
I'm giving up on defeating the Demon King.
I mean, what do you want? I used to be a NEET!
I can't change that much on the inside just because I came to another world!
I'm gonna do what I want from now on,
and make only the stuff I really want to.
First up is every man's dream, a beautiful robot girl.
A giant robot would be good, too.
Oh, man, maybe both!
Hey, now...
I built a giant robot, or I guess, a giant golem.
But it's no good! I can't pilot it.
I tried, but nope.
It felt like being tossed around inside a washing machine.
But since I already built it, I'll have it guard this place or something.
Oh! Gotta remember to add a self-destruct.
Parallel World Log Day 289.
Time to start development on the beautiful golem girl of my dreams.
But it's been nothing but failure...
I mean, her thighs are hard as metal!
And she can't adjust her strength!
It felt like my neck was gonna snap from her rubbing my head!
There was one other crucial defect.
It was missing the most important feature
a beautiful girl robot needs, damn it!
Both the giant golem and her...
The second I take my eyes off them, they go berserk!
Is this their rebellious phase?
Whoa, hang on a sec!
Parallel World Log, Day 563.
I'm getting back to basics.
Focusing on creating something that suits my needs, with no compromises.
First things first! What do I want?
Am I a masochist or a sadist? Actually, let's put a pin in that for later.
Parallel World Log, Day 783.
It's wrong! But why?!
Something about the face? The hairstyle?
Or is it the sculpt itself?
I'm starting over from the design phase!
If I start compromising now, it'd be a waste of all my efforts!
By the way, I'm a masochist!
Oh, crap, I'm nasty! Woo!
Anyway, let's put that aside for now.
Yeah, I know what this is. This guy is hopeless!
Parallel World Log, Day 1,230.
I've realized something.
It makes sense! With my talent,
I don't need to mess around with a beautiful girl golem!
I'll just hook up with one of the major technological countries,
then get paid and hire me a hot maid!
Oh, man, I am so psyched now!
To the goddess who sent me to this world, many thanks!
It was you?!
"Postscript. If anyone is reading this journal,
please take care of the golems around this building.
None of them listen to a thing I say,
but I care about them like my own children."
KO! NO! SU! BA!
Come on, Kazuma, let's head back!
Let's say we checked the place out.
I've got a bad feeling about what'll happen if we open this door!
What are you talking about?
The journal said there's a beautiful girl golem behind this door!
And there's no telling when it might run amok like that big one.
Veteran adventurers like us can't just ignore something that dangerous!
What's gotten into you, Kazuma? This isn't like you.
It's not?
But it's good that you've realized your responsibilities as a veteran adventurer.
Why, thanks.
Come on! I can already tell you what's gonna happen next!
Go on, then.
Something freaky is gonna show up,
Darkness is gonna squirm, I'm gonna cry,
and Megumin's gonna scorch everything without listening to a word you say, Kazuma!
Well, that's no good.
And then, since this valuable location will have been wrecked,
we'll be stuck with the debt somehow!
Man, cut it out. You make it sound really convincing.
Don't be so rude, Aqua.
Even I wouldn't dare cast magic in a place like this.
I'd do the right thing and wait until I'm outdoors.
Wait, what did you say?
Hey, Kazuma, look!
This is it...
The beautiful girl golem created by my predecessor in this world!
Yes! Behind this glass case is the dream of every man!
Hey, you want to explain that hand on my shoulder?
I'll do that once you tell me what you were about to do.
If there's a button, then as a Crimson Demon,
I can't rest until I've pressed it, even if I know what it'll do!
Don't you dare!
That's bound to result in the thing where whoever wakes her up
gets the "Are you my master?" question!
You'd better not press it! You hear me?!
Boop.
Th-That wasn't my fault.
If I had to assign blame,
I'd say it's Kazuma's fault for saying no one should press it!
Would it kill you to not do something stupid for once?!
Everyone, quickly, get behind me!
Which of you is my master?
It's me.
Seriously?! He didn't even hesitate!
Yeah. I've never seen him respond so quickly to anything!
Hey! Don't be this thing's master!
If you're into that kind of play,
I can do it with you, so get back here!
Shut it!
It's every man's dream to become the master of a beautiful robot girl!
You are my master?
Yep.
Now, master...
It's time for your punishment.
Sit down!
Down, boy! Stay! Kennel! Kennel!
By the way, I'm a masochist!
Oh, crap, I'm nasty! Woo! Oh, man, am I nasty!
Hey, jerk! What's up?! Squeal for me!
Let me hear you squeal! Come on, nice and loud!
The face is definitely not the problem here!
Enjoy play.
And that's how it happened.
Afterward, my skilled execution ensured
the golems of the ruins would rest in peace.
Hey, he's been bragging to that rookie adventurer
about his fantasies all the time lately.
When in reality that crazy thing that came after us
had Darkness squirming, me crying,
and Megumin scorching everything without listening to a word he said!
Plus, with the ruins destroyed,
we even had to pay damages for failure to complete the quest!
Shh!
Something like a fan of Kazuma's is a rare find.
Let's leave them be.
It won't be long before he messes up and she gets sick of him, anyway!
Indeed. And he's bound to come back crying when that happens.
Let's be kind to him when he does.
Really? That's quite impressive!
Um, I'll talk to you next time!
Huh? Did I do something wrong?
No, no, nothing I can think of...
I mean, maybe I repeated the same story once or twice...
Thanks for the drinks!
Come again!
Some kind of argument?
Since she's my first fan,
I guess a veteran adventurer like me should help her out.
I swear...
I heard this was going to be an easy job, just motivating some NEET,
but it's not worth what it's paying anymore!
He chases me down every day and repeats the same stories!
The other adventurers are starting to say I have terrible taste in men!
You gotta pay me extra for this!
I understand your complaints, but you were made aware of all this
when you accepted such a high-paying job.
That party's quite troublesome,
but they've managed some real accomplishments.
Too many to let them just sit idle.
I get that, but that doesn't mean I should have to...
Look at that! Kazuma's quaking!
Come on, don't laugh at him!
This is even worse than getting sick of him!
She was leading him on the whole time!
W-Well, let's all be kind to him when he gets back...
Oh, um, Satou Kazuma-san! It's not what you think!
See, it was a request from the higher-ups at the Guild...
It's just... y'know, Kazuma-san, I've always thought you, um...
I just accepted the request, so...
But, uh, what I said about admiring you was true, so...
You're sorta kinda okay, you know?
Steal!
No!
