KONOSUBA - God's blessing on this wonderful world! (この素晴らしい世界に祝福を！)

Oh, it's Kazuma-san, who took down another of the Devil King's generals!

Kazuma-san, the candidate for being a Hero!

Kazuma-san, who's loaded!

Marry me!

Settle down. There's only one of me to go around.

There, there...

Wow! Well, now.

You're a feisty one, aren't you? Relax, will you?

Come on, this is no place for that kind of thing...

Whoa! Getting a little rough there!

Hey, knock it off!

I think you should at least buy me dinner first!

I'm touching you on purpose.

I like you. I like you.

I love you!

And I'm doing this on purpose!

Do you know where our souvenirs from the Crimson Demon Village are?

If you're talking about the bubbly, the bottles were empty, so I threw them out.

That's strange.

Hey, Kazuma, you didn't drink all my bubbly, did you?!

Are you listening, Kazuma? My bubbly...

The wind...

The sun...

What's gotten into you? That's unusually deep.

Kazuma is at that age where he gets the urge to mutter that kind of thing.

Ah yes, I understand it quite well.

K-Kazuma-san?! You're freaking me out here, screaming out of the blue like that.

L-Look, let's forget about the bubbly, okay?

What're you talking about?

Konosuba!

What brings you all in here so early?

We're getting a reward for saving the Crimson Demon Village!

So bring out all the bubbly you've got!

Whoa, slow your roll, useless goddess!

Make sure you can afford the bill before—

Miss! More bubbly over here!

I'd like some as well, Miss!

Megumin, you're still too young!

But it's no fair! I want to drink, too!

Damn, look at you go! How about you buy me a rou—

Don't stand behind me!

The wind...

Konosuba!

I'm thinking about joining the faith.

Wh-Wh-Wh-What brought this on?!

So you're gonna become a monk with a shiny head?

I don't think that's required.

Kazuma-san, Kazuma-san, if it's a church you're looking to serve,

I highly recommend the Order of Axis!

Hell no. Literally anywhere but there.

Could you at least explain yourself?

I was starting to believe that my life was finally about to blossom...

Yunyun said she wanted to have my baby.

I was getting cozy with our resident loli.

I had thought I was actually starting to get popular... yet I remain here, alone.

All I really got out of it were some orcs threatening my chastity,

and PTSD from committing lovers' suicide with a chimera...

I was... dead wrong!

You're worn out. Let me share some words of wisdom with you.

According to the dogma of the Axis Order... when—

Do not!

That kinda advice is what got me in this situation!

Never again!

I'm job-changing from Adventurer to Monk, damn it!

Keep outta my way!

Saying goodbye to your daredevil days, eh?

There are times when you'll feel like that.

Especially when you're young...

Since you've got limitless potential.

Thanks.

Miss, I'd like directions to the nearest temple.

O-Of what discipline?

Preferably a very strict one.

Well, I do have this. It's a bit out of the way, but...

Thank you so much! For everything you've done!

Also, I kinda had a crush on you!

Kazuma!

Konosuba!

Wait a minute!

You should think this over, Kazuma!

She's right. Maybe you should sleep on it...

It'll be fine. He'll be desperate for some bubbly by sunset.

Shut it! I'm not like you, you useless goddess!

My resolve is as sturdy as that mountain over there!

That's real convincing, coming from someone

with the mental resolve of tofu!

Calm down, Kazuma.

And you're finding this a bit too funny, Aqua.

What's this childish nonsense?

It's times like these when you need to calmly assess...

That's rich, coming from our resident loli archetype!

Is that modest frame of yours ever gonna hit its growth spurt?!

Snap.

And here I was trying to show a modicum of restraint...

Very well! Allow me to blow your resolve to smithereens, Kazuma!

That mountain, was it?!

You dum—

Explosion!

It's been a while since we spent a night under the stars like this.

Don't think you can sweet talk your way out of this!

Nobody's carrying you tomorrow, got it?!

We were supposed to get there today...

I'm doing it on—

Are you sure about this, Kazuma?

It's a relief having you awake, with your Enemy Detection and Foresight, but...

Don't sweat it. I pulled all-nighters all the time back home.

You're used to staying up all night?

What exactly about your life led to that?

Well...

I would join my friends in raiding enemy fortresses,

taking down dangerous bosses...

I got up to some crazy stuff on zero sleep.

R-Remarkable...

And there's no air of falsehood, either.

He's exuding genuine confidence, with a tinge of nostalgia.

Hey... Are you talking about being a gamer?

If anything happens, wake me up! I don't mind if you have to get a little rough!

You got it. I'll wake you up like you wouldn't believe.

I'm not sure if this needs to be said, but there are certain lines you shouldn't cross as comrades.

That's the thing about men. You tell him there's a line he shouldn't cross,

and he's gonna get the urge to cross it.

Why do you sound like you think that's a good thing?!

More bubbly!

So, um... Have you ever considered going home?

I couldn't even if I wanted to.

What would your parents think if they knew you were looking to join the faith?

Just shut it! I've already—

You helped me maintain my connection to explosion magic.

And you've only seen an explosion that would score 120 points.

One day...

I'd like to show you a perfect 200-point explosion.

I-I mean... Living with you guys hasn't been all bad.

And the reward for saving the Crimson Demon Village is on the way.

F-Fair point...

And there's no guarantee that becoming a monk will bring me any peace.

Hold on! My deal with Vanir wasn't finished, either!

Considering all the money coming in,

it might not be so bad to just kick back with the rest of you...

I also happen to like my life as it is, so I'd prefer things not to change.

Having the occasional brush with danger, and overcoming them together...

It'd be nice...

It'd be nice if things could stay the way they are, for all of us.

Megumin... I...

Maybe I won't join—

It's past these woods.

The next chapter of my life is about to begin!

It's not like you won't come home crying. I'll keep a chilled bubbly waiting for you.

Shut up!

Say, Megumin! What happened? What exactly did he do?

Hey, someone's over there.

She's injured! Hey, are you okay?

That's a monster in disguise.

My enemy detection is going crazy.

Hey, Kazuma! I'm getting a weird urge to cast Heal on her!

"Tranquility Girls. A type of plant monster."

"A dangerous breed of creature

that evokes an intense protective instinct in passing travelers."

Hey, Kazuma! She keeps looking at us like she's about to cry!

"When people are nearby, she will maintain a reassuring smile

that makes it difficult to walk away.

The more good-natured a traveler is, the greater the threat this monster poses.

Caution is advised."

K-K-K-Kazuma!

It looks like she's desperately trying not to cry!

Would it be okay if I gave her a hug?!

Are any of you even listening?!

That's a monster that the guild has a bounty on!

I'll heal you right up.

It'll be okay.

Huh? These aren't actually bandages. They just look like them.

That reaction is how she lures in travelers, and after they starve,

her roots will start to dig in.

What do you think you're doing, Kazuma?!

I won't let you!

It's not like I wanna do it! What choice do we have?!

Kill... me?

You're giving me that look now, too?!

Don't worry! These holy fists will shut him up!

Kill... me?

Kill me?

Kill me?

Any decision where you're wavering this much

is one where both roads lead to regret.

So you should just do whatever seems easier at the time.

Sorry... it's... because I'm alive.

I'm a monster... so...

being alive... is trouble for people.

For the first time... I got to talk to humans...

I'm glad you were the first... and last... I met.

If... I am reborn...

Next time... I hope I'm not a monster...

This sucks.

A monster you feel sorry for, whether you kill her or not?

I'm surprised you still had a heart, Kazuma.

Of course I do!

Huh? Hang on a sec...

What's wrong? Your tummy acting up?

I've got some extra paper with me.

Not that!

I just remembered something!
