Comic Anthology Chapter 10

**God's Blessing on This Wonderful Angler!** (この素晴らしい釣人に祝福を！, *Kono Subarashii Tsuribito ni Shukufuku wo!*) is the tenth chapter of the *KonoSuba Comic Anthology* manga series, and was illustrated by Kanikama.

## Summary

* **The Simple-Minded Pair**
Kazuma suddenly proposes the party to go fishing, which Aqua and Megumin refuse because it is a stupid idea. Yet once he shows them a leaflet about a quest for catching a giant fish that is rewarded with 10kg of crab, the simple-minded girls immediately get into gear.
* **A Remarkable Fishing Rod**
At the fishing pond, Aqua upon Kazuma asking about her fishing experience proceeds to show him her specially made fishing rod. But instead of the remarkable rod that Kazuma is expecting, she brings out a small one designed for catching crayfish instead of fish.
* **Just Right**
Ignoring the useless goddess, Kazuma turns to ask Megumin, who excitedly shows him a large pond with very clear water. She proceeds to describe it as Explosive while elatedly readying her magic rod, so Kazuma tells her to quit it.
* **Unexpected Darkness**
Unable to count on the two girls, Kazuma takes off his jersey jacket and prepares to fish on his own, when he hears Darkness calling him. As she asks him about what he is doing there, Kazuma finds himself wanting to inquire the same of Darkness, who is floating on the pond's surface while tied to a stake nailed to the shore.
* **Aim**
Realising that Kazuma is also aiming for the giant fish, Darkness proclaims how she will be the one who shall get swallowed whole and have her clothes dissolved by stomach acid. Kazuma accordingly cuts the rope holding her to the shore, causing the fantasizing Darkness to drift off.
* **The Caught Crayfish**
As Kazuma pretends that nothing had happened, an excited Aqua comes telling him about her catching a big one. Initially dismissing it as her catching a crayfish, Kazuma is soon astounded when he discovers that the caught crayfish is gigantic enough to tower over them.
* **Position**
As Kazuma wonders if that really is a crayfish, he asks the boasting Aqua whether it will attack them. Aqua though isn't worried because she is a goddess who is up against a mere crayfish, only to end up being held defeated in its claw the next instant.
* **The Darkness who Went**
When Kazuma finds Aqua to be in danger, Darkness who cannot look on anymore unexpectedly appears behind him as she volunteers to go prevent Aqua from being swallowed whole, something which should be happening to her instead. She subsequently gets her wish when her body hangs from the mandibles of the crayfish, while the Aqua in its claw screams for Kazuma to save her.
* **Unable to Control Herself**
Seeing the two girls in danger, Kazuma calls on Megumin to go save them with Explosion Magic, only to find her limply laying down with zero magical power remaining right next to a pond emptied of water, and realises that she had finally done it.
* **Kazuma Help**
Kazuma decides to flee by himself, ignoring Aqua's pleas for help because he doesn't want to die. But when Aqua shows him his jersey jacket that she has in her hands, Kazuma angrily picks up a stick to fight.
* **Quest Failed**
Kazuma manages to defeat the crayfish, though the sight of his torn jersey jacket sorrows him. Aqua proceeds to cheer him up by citing how they had achieved their quest and can enjoy crab, only to be reminded of the quest being one for catching a giant fish and not a giant crayfish.
