Comic Anthology Chapter 22

**Letter of!!!?** (れたーおぶ‼⁉, *Retā Obu!!!?*) is the twenty-second chapter of the *KonoSuba Comic Anthology* manga series, and was illustrated by Okagiri Shou.

## Summary

Waking up late one day, Kazuma find himself the only one left in the mansion, before noticing on the table an anonymous letter addressed to him, asking him to meet at a tree outside town for a conversation that is inconvenient in the mansion. Initially hopeful of this being Aqua or Megumin going to confess their love to him, he then snaps back to the more realistic speculations of Megumin asking to have somebody be the target of her Explosions or Aqua asking to borrow money for covering her tabs.

Later heading to the meeting spot, he finds Darkness wrapped in a cloak waiting for him. Proceeding to explain how as a knight fighting beside him, she realised that she isn't compatible with the sword, Darkness who decides to abandon her sword throws off the cloak, revealing the spiked armour she is wearing underneath, which will allow her to withstand attacks while dealing damage in return. As Aqua and Megumin exasperatedly peek from the nearby bushes, Kazuma chides Darkness over her thinking of nothing but taking damage, a point she unsuccessfully denies, before Kazuma tries in pain to strip the armour from her, much to Darkness' bashful joy.

Bakuen Chapter 4

**May We Consult This Genius Of The Crimson Magic Clan!** (この紅魔族随一の天才にお悩み相談を！, *Kono Kōmazoku Zuiichi no Tensai ni Onayami Sōdan wo!*) is the fourth chapter of the *KonoSuba Bakuen* manga series, and covers Chapters 3 to 4 in Volume 1 of the light novels.

## Summary

The One-Punch Bear charges at the cowering Megumin and Yunyun, before the decloaked Bukkororii cuts it apart from behind with Light of Saber in a cool just-in-time rescue, though he then gets beaten at by the angry girls. Yet before they can retrieve the liver, Yunyun notices a pack of One-Punch Bears advancing on them, forcing all three of them to flee. Later discussing about the solitary One-Punch Bears congregating among other strange incidents in the woods, the girls proceed to ditch Bukkororii until he treats them to lunch.

As they eat at a cafe, Megumin suggests creating an opportunity for Bukkororii to acquaint with Soketto, though Yunyun firmly rejects the idea of her disguising herself before attacking Soketto with her dagger so that Bukkororii can swoop in to the rescue. The cafe owner who overhears the conversation then informs them about Soketto having gone into the forest, where the pursuing trio finds a dead One-Punch Bear among the scenes of battle. Stopping the girls from returning or else he won't be able to properly talk with Soketto, Bukkororii then locates her as she launches Lightning Strike. Frantically casting Inferno as a One-Punch Bear jumps at Soketto from behind, Bukkororii ends up catching her in his spell too. The furious Soketto who shielded herself from harm then reproaches Bukkororii for always stalking her, though he manages to explain himself.

Soketto later agrees to divine Bukkororii's future for free in return for him trying to help her, yet fails to see his future girlfriend in her crystal ball, driving Bukkororii to dash out in tears before she can ask why he was stalking her.

At school several days afterwards, Pucchin tells the class how later in the day the villagers will hold a ritual for resealing the Evil Spirit, and advises the students to stay indoors, since in the event of failure the village will be filled with servants of the Evil Spirit. Yet before the first class for producing magical items begins, Megumin finds Yunyun who is with Funifura and Dodonko giving them money, which the pair later explains to Megumin is the medicine fee for Funifura's sick young brother, thus Megumin offers to get them the medicine herself.

It so happened that after Komekko solved the second puzzle, she became bored of the game to Host's shock. Host accordingly persuaded her to continue through food, though Komekko insisted on following him to the woods for the hunt. While most monsters fled from Host's demonic aura, he noticed that some were still staying put, so in order to prove herself stronger than him by scaring them off, Komekko charged at those monsters that turned out to be One-Punch Bears, forcing Host to frantically dash after her.

Chomusuke

**Chomusuke** (ちょむすけ) is Megumin's familiar and the other half of the Dark God Wolbach.

## Appearance

Chomusuke is a black cat with a red cross-shaped marking on her forehead and bat like wings. She has stubby legs, a big round head, and yellow oval eyes. When she's happy or angry, she shows sharp teeth.

## Personality

Chomusuke cannot speak human language, but she seems to be fairly intelligent and can understand human speech to some extent. One time, Kazuma saw her heating up leftover fish with fire breath. Her true power was sealed some time ago, thus leading Chomusuke to being the target of bullying from other kids.

She is friendly with almost everyone except Aqua and Emperor Zell. She really likes Wiz and Kazuma since they treated her with extra kindness. Chomusuke doesn't like Arnes as the demon tried to take her away from Megumin.

Ever since she absorbed Wolbach, Chomusuke has begun taking up more of her personality traits. For example, Chomusuke has begun refusing to eat "pet food" such as leftovers or raw fish, instead preferring "human food" like biscuits. She has also started liking baths just like Wolbach did, even though she previously hated them, and even chooses to bathe with Kazuma just like Wolbach did. Furthermore, she seems attracted to traits like sloth and violence as she is shown to enjoy Kazuma's laziness and Megumin's aggressiveness.

## History

*For Chomusuke's history, see her History tab.*

## Abilities

Although Megumin insists Chomusuke is a regular cat, she demonstrated some irregular skills:

* **Breath (Fire)**: The skill to breathe out an elemental power, in Chomusuke's case, regular fire, as a result of Cecily's teachings.
* **Flight**: The ability to fly in the sky using her wings.

## Trivia

* While coming up with a name for Chomusuke, Yunyun came up with the name "Kuro" (which just means black). Megumin thought the name was weird and decided that it will be a temporary name for Chomusuke.
* "Kazuma" is among the names that Megumin's classmates recommended for Chomusuke when Megumin deemed the cat to be her familiar.
* Chomusuke doing something irregular like breathing fire and flying in front of Kazuma, while Megumin insists she is just a regular cat and Kazuma is imagining things, is a regular joke in the novel and manga. Although it doesn't happens in the anime, this is a regular joke in Isekai Quartet anime, with Subaru taking Kazuma's role in it.

Decayed Fort

The **Decayed Fort** (朽(く)ちた砦(とりで)) is an abandoned fort made of logs that is situated close to the Crimson Demon Village.

## Information

As the present inhabitants of the village now remember it, the fort was constructed long ago for fighting against the Devil King's Army, but soon the overpowered clan of mages discovered that they could fight just as well without fortifying themselves in one spot, and so the fort was left to decay, slowing becoming a dungeon where monsters roam.

Many centuries later, Kazuma and his party went to investigate the fort when they found out that mechanical monsters were flying out from there. As the party explored the labyrinthine walkways which consisted of traps and dark passageways on the outer sections, they discovered that much of the fort, from living quarters in the guard houses and barracks, storage warehouses, as well as the training yards, still remained in fairly good condition. They also rediscovered a structure in the centre of the fort that was usually bolted with a high-technology lock, inside which were ladders leading underground to what the fort was really built to protect.

Cursed Ring

The **Cursed Ring** (呪われた指輪, *Norowareta Yubiwa*) was a ring enchanted with a curse that makes men who wear it steal women's panties during every full moon.

## Overview

The ring was created by the mage who later bound his soul to the Skull Dragon, in an attempt to placate the regrets of his nobleman brother who liked to steal panties. It also served the secondary purpose of using its wearer's soul as a beacon, so that even as the mage's soul was busy battling with the dragon's soul for supremacy over the Skull Dragon's body, the Skull Dragon can still find its way to human settlements where it can wreck havoc. Since the curse placed on the ring was filled with pure adoration in addition to complex enumerations, it was rendered unbreakable to Aqua, and even Vanir had trouble figuring out ways to unravel it.

It was eventually picked up one day by Kazuma, before sticking itself to his finger after Aqua slipped it onto him. The ring then proceeded to make Kazuma Steal the panties of women he knows upon every full moon, and gradually increased the number stolen each month in a trend that could drain him to death. Additionally, it also made the victims lose their consciousness whenever they try to put on another panty, forcing them to spend their days pantyless until the stolen panty was returned.

Many months after the curse took hold on Kazuma and forced him to work for the curse removal fee Vanir charged him, the Skull Dragon finally found its way to Axel when the ring flashed its power with increasing magnitude, though following a fierce battle with Kazuma and other defenders, the mage's soul managed to fully control the body. After Kazuma and the mage came to an understanding, the mage let itself and its body be purified by Aqua, with the ring subsequently shattering as its purpose was fulfilled.

## Trivia

In one of the ending routes, another cursed ring was later picked up by Kazuma, though instead of a green stone it had a red one. The curse laid on it was also much weaker, being the regrets of a bride ghost who simply wanted a wedding ceremony be held at the church it was haunting.

## Summary

* Aqua asks Kazuma if he wants to buy a bottle of water she had purified, though Kazuma refuses her "soup" which is created by her touching the water. At Aqua's goading over the hot-selling water being clean and free of impurities, however, Kazuma tries drinking a bottle. He finds the normal water to indeed taste nice, yet upon thinking of how it contains elements of Aqua, states that it seems to make his intelligence decrease, much to her irritation.
* Megumin abruptly tells Kazuma of her wanting to cast Explosion Magic, which he describes as a normal occurrence. Kazuma accordingly recommends her not to simply cast it meaninglessly, but instead use it for a request to blow a hole at a construction site. Later casting the Explosion and subsequently collapsing, Megumin is asked by Kazuma to recharge with Aqua's magical power so that she can perform three more requests in the afternoon, making her feel like being used as an excavating machine.
* Darkness tells Kazuma of how she had been scouted in town to be a model, and upon him asking if it entails something indecent, states that she was modelling for a wholesome book, before confessing about her getting talked by the cameraman into the shame of having her unbecoming pictures published. Finding his party members capable of making money despite their quirks, Kazuma suggests them to quit adventuring, though the three of them all insist on defeating the Demon King.

**Stimulus for This World Without Games!** (このゲームの無い世界に刺激を！, *Kono Gēmu no nai Sekai ni Shigeki wo!*) is the thirty-fourth chapter of the *KonoSuba Comic Anthology* manga series, and was illustrated by Ono Misao.

## Summary

Kazuma one day grumbles in the mansion about wanting to play games, before clarifying to Megumin who tells him to play card games by himself that he was talking about video games, much to her puzzlement. He then recalls how his craving for video games, which he had played every day in the prior world but hadn't touched since coming to this one, was seen through by Vanir. After they had some discussion over the matter, a prototype magical item shaped like a game controller and capable of controlling other people like games was created, eliciting criticisms of patheticity from Megumin.

Slamming a receiving antenna upon Aqua's head while she was unwarily strolling the corridors, Kazuma explains to Darkness as she walks out of her room what he placed atop the enraged and later bewildered Aqua. He proceeds to press the buttons on the controller for manipulating Aqua's movements, to the shock of Megumin and Aqua herself. Darkness though starts fantasizing about Kazuma depriving her body of free will so he can press his desires on her, an intention Kazuma quickly denies by demonstrating how he controls the fuming Aqua into performing normal tasks like giving massages and feeding him. While the furious Aqua swears vengeance later on, Kazuma ignores Darkness' pleas to control her instead, and continues practising until he familiarises himself on how to exact the suitable level of power, at which he takes the party out for a quest.

Controlled by Kazuma like an action game character, Aqua strikes down a Beginner's Bane with God Strike before seething at the laughing Kazuma, who brags about him managing to make the usually unthinking goddess useful. A Giant Toad that the party knows is immune to God Strike then appears to Aqua's utter horror, so Kazuma picks her up to flee from the monster which is not a quest target, despite Darkness and Megumin calling for them to fight it.

The Giant Toad however lashes out with its tongue and knocks Aqua out of Kazuma's hands, in the process detaching the antenna from Aqua's head. Regaining her autonomy, the livid Aqua slaps the antenna atop Kazuma before controlling him to fight the Giant Toad, though as a result of the reckless moves she deals out, the frantic Kazuma soon finds himself caught by the amphibian to Aqua's amusement, while Darkness shows concern at the situation and Megumin itches to cast Explosion. The following day, Darkness asks Aqua about that magical item, only to discover in disappointment that she had already smashed and thrown it away.

## Lyrics

### Short Version

天気予報じゃ晴れなのに

今朝になっても降りやまない

ずっと準備をしてたのに

これじゃあ外に出られない

ふてくされてマンガ開いた

何度も読んだはずなのに

初めて今気持ちわかった

心の雲が晴れてった

雨が止むまでひと休み

tenki yohō ja hare na noni

kesa ni natte mo furi yamanai

zutto junbi o shiteta noni

kore jā soto ni derarenai

futekusarete manga hiraita

nando mo yonda hazu na noni

hajimete kon kimochi wakatta

kokoro no kumo ga haretetta

ame ga yamu made hitoyasumi

The weather forecast said it'll be sunny

yet it won't stop raining even till this morning.

I had kept making preparations

yet I cannot go out in this.

I sulkingly opened a manga.

I should have read it many times already

yet now I understood the feeling of first reading it.

The clouds it my heart lifted.

Taking a break until the rain stops.

今朝になっても降りやまない

ずっと準備をしてたのに

これじゃあ外に出られない

ふてくされてマンガ開いた

何度も読んだはずなのに

初めて今気持ちわかった

心の雲が晴れてった

毎日同じ家の中

誰とも口を聞いてない

別に今まで会いたいと

思ったこともなかったが

つまらなくて電話をかけた

何度か鳴った後に出た

久しぶりに声を聞いたら

心に虹がかかったよ

雨が止むまでひと休み

tenki yohō ja hare na noni

kesa ni natte mo furi yamanai

zutto junbi o shiteta noni

The weather forecast said it'll be sunny

yet it won't stop raining even till this morning.

I had kept making preparations

yet I cannot go out in this.

I sulkingly opened a manga.

I should have read it many times already

yet now I understood the feeling of first reading it.

The clouds it my heart lifted.

In the home that's the same everyday,

I dont't talk with anyone.

It's not that up till now,

I ever thought of meeting anybody, though.

I made a telephone call in boredom.

It was picked up after several rings.

When I heard the voice that was't heard in a long time,

a rainbow was hung up in my heart.

Taking a break until the rain stops.

Chakamiya

**Chakamiya** (ちゃかみや) is a member of the Crimson Demons, who owns the Crimson Demon Village's foremost (and only) bakery.

## Appearance

Chakamiya is a plump middle-aged man with dark grey hair in addition to sporting a big moustache, and is usually dressed as a baker.

## Personality

Similar to all his kin, Chakamiya has a flair for the dramatic. He is also an attention seeker. When introducing himself to anyone, he will claim to be the "Master of Yeast".

He is described as one of the unemployed and worthless citizens of the village.

## History

The owner of the only bakery in the village, Chakamiya was known to engage in worthless pursuits, such as the petrification of Gargoyles to display as "bonsai". When the Gargoyles began returning to normal and running amok around the village due to the unsealing of the Dark God, he joined in a defence militia that indiscriminately blasted all the monsters away and in the process destroyed the village, which he had to help rebuild overnight.

As the Servants of the Dark God started rampaging around the village, he also took part in their cleansing. When Arnes later showed up at Megumin's home, Chakamiya was one of the worthless men attracted there by her bracelet. Thinking that she was the one responsible for the recent string of nightly Explosions around the village, he teamed up with the other similarly worthless village men into chasing the traumatised Demon off.

During the attacks from the Devil King's army under the command of Sylvia, Chakamiya was one of those who frequently took to the battlefield, and fought furiously to hold back Sylvia as she razed the village. Forced to retreat when his magic was nullified by the Mage-Killer, he later transferred his magical powers to Wiz so that she could pass it on to Megumin and Yunyun.

## Abilities

**Advanced Magic**: Like all Crimson Demons, Chakamiya is a powerful arch wizard who mastered the Advanced Magic.

* **Burning Flash**: Summons a tornado of lightning capable of annihilating everything in its path.
* **Light of Saber**: Creates a beam of light that cleanly slices the target.
* **Call of Thunderstorm**: Summons a powerful thunderstorm.

## Equipment

**Bread**: Despite it being an item of merchandise for sale, when in battle Chakamiya is seen to cast magic from loaves of bread like with a magic wand.

## Trivia

* Chakamiya is an anime-original character.

Frog Killer

**Frog Killers** (カエル殺し) are huge reptilian monsters that feed on frogs.

## Appearance

Frog Killers look like huge snakes with large muscular bodies.

## Information

Frog Killers inhabit deep forests and lakesides, where they hunt Giant Toads or similar prey that they crush with their surprisingly speedy and strong bodies.

## Trivia

* Wiz had later purchased a magic item of the same name that resembles a swinging toy pendulum able to lure Giant Toads into swallowing it, before it unleashes the Blast magic sealed within to blow the amphibian up. Yet due to it costing way more than the rewards for subjugating a Giant Toad, this magic item ended up as another one of Wiz's unsellable junk.

**Explosion☆Duel of Girliness** (爆裂☆女子力対決, *Bakuretsu☆Joshiryoku Taiketsu*) is the thirtieth chapter of the *KonoSuba Comic Anthology* manga series, and was illustrated by Bcoca.

## Summary

Yunyun challenges her rival to a fated showdown, only for Megumin to refuse in the second grid. At Yunyun begging for a contest where the victor can eat the pancakes she had brought along, however, Megumin immediately accepts the challenge, making Kazuma at the side comment on her simple-minded susceptibility to her feeding desire.

The form of the contest is then decided by Yunyun to be a duel of girliness, since she had already learned of the various sweets in Axel in addition to covering the popular photogenic spots, though Kazuma is taken aback by the awful memories of her going to those places all alone. As Yunyun bashfully wonders if Megumin will go eat with her, Megumin proclaims that girliness is something experienced and not learned, and proceeds to call the lonely Yunyun an idiot for challenging her when she has trustworthy party members by her side. Megumin next grabs onto Kazuma's arm, before forcibly feeding him a forkful of pancakes as a show of intimacy, making Yunyun blush in shock.

In response to Yunyun hurriedly citing her advantage in visiting photogenic spots, Megumin declares those places to be too low-leveled, since she herself can become a spot that is truly photogenic. Subsequently readying her magic rod, she as Kazuma fears casts an Explosion. The subdued Yunyun thus admits defeat while raising a big flag by claiming to win the next time, and after she runs off, Megumin gleefully announces her victory, despite laying on the ground in an unseemly fashion. Kazuma who holds the received pancakes is then asked by Megumin to feed her before taking her back, making him comment on her possessing not a shred of girliness.

## Characters

* Yunyun
* Megumin
* Satou Kazuma
Comic Anthology Chapter 26

**A Calling for That Masochistic Knight!** (あのドＭ騎士に天職を！, *Ano Doemu Kishi ni Tenshoku wo!*) is the twenty-sixth chapter of the *KonoSuba Comic Anthology* manga series, and was illustrated by Takeda Hiromitsu.

## Summary

The Receptionist Succubus and other Succubi welcome Kazuma to their cafe, where he returns to for healing his fatigue from babysitting his party. She next introduces their new receptionist, who to Kazuma's surprise turns out to be an equally surprised Darkness in Succubus outfit.

Grilled by the embarrassed Darkness over him repeatedly attending the cafe, Kazuma explains how young fellows like him need to have a breather, before calling her out for working at this sexy establishment when she isn't even a Succubus. Darkness therefore talks of her dream about having a scum customer offering to buy her for a night with a huge sum of money, following which she is subject to all sorts of lewd play and torture that she ends up enjoying. Though Darkness subsequently denies wanting this dream to happen, her excited pants give her away to Kazuma, who calls her a masochist knight much to her delight.

Darkness later confesses about working at the cafe in order to let the party eat well after all the troubles she had caused, especially now that quests have been decreasing, before begging for him to keep this a secret from Aqua and Megumin. Moved by the masochistic Crusader who isn't simply a perverted fantasizing maniac with trashy attacks, Kazuma as his hand nearly gets pulped by the piqued Darkness swears to make the useless goddess follow her example. Some time afterwards, he forces an incensed Aqua into rough janitorial work at the cafe until her tabs at the Guild's bar are paid off.

## Characters

* Receptionist Succubus
* Satou Kazuma
* Darkness
* Aqua

## Trivia

* This chapter may have inspired the idea of having Darkness really work at the Succubus Cafe in canon.

その背中を

見送った空

流れ星が見えた

また出会える

その時はきっと

笑顔で会いましょう

明日も知らない

荒くれ者でも

「おかえり」は必要ね

「いってらっしゃい」

「おひさしぶり」

繰り返す　出会いと別れ

この場所で聞こえるのは

そう Hello-Goodbye

また　どこかで

この場所では

過去なんてそう

気にしなくていいわ

誰もが持つ

傷跡をずっと

抱えてなくていいの

今日を生きる

必死な眼差し

「おかえり」と迎えたい

「ギャラよこせ」

「今日はダメだ」

喧騒が　何故か愛しい

寂しさを紛らわせて

言う Hello-Goodbye

また　いつかね

明日も知らない

荒くれ者でも

「おかえり」は必要ね

「いってらっしゃい」

「おひさしぶり」

繰り返す　出会いと別れ

旅立ちを見送るための

Hello-Goodbye

In the sky where

I saw off that retreating figure

I could see shooting stars.

We will be able to meet again.

At then I'm sure

I'll meet you with a smile.

Even to ruffains who

face an uncertain tomorrow,

a "welcome back" will be needed.

"Take care",

"Long time no see",

Meetings and partings that repeat.

What can be heard in this place is

right, Hello-Goodbye.

We'll meet again somewhere.

In this place,

whatever history there's been,

you don't have to dwell on it.

Scars that

anybody will be bearing,

you don't have to hold onto it.

I want to greet

desperate looks trying to live through today

with a "welcome back".

"Hand me my pay",

"It cannot be done today",

somehow, the hustle and bustle is endearing.

To relieve the loneliness,

I say Hello-Goodbye.

Even to ruffains who

face an uncertain tomorrow,

a "welcome back" will be needed.

"Take care",

"Long time no see",

Meetings and partings that repeat.

What can be heard in this place is

right, Hello-Goodbye.

We'll meet again somewhere.

The Hello-Goodbye for

seeing off journey departures.

We'll surely meet again...
