**Quest: Rental Girlfriend** (クエスト・レンタル彼女, *Kuesuto. Rentaru Kanojo*) is the thirty-second chapter of the *KonoSuba Comic Anthology* manga series, and was illustrated by Nakajima Chizuna.

## Summary

Aqua hollers for Kazuma's help one day when the party is eating, so Darkness and Megumin explain that the three of them had accepted a very troublesome and erotic quest which they are having issues with. Upon hearing them specify how they were sucked in by promises of earning money simply through meeting people into agreeing to be a rental girlfriend to some unknown old men for a day, Kazuma yells that this quest is actually a dating business.

After Aqua excitedly justifies how anybody would accept a deal where they can be treated to meals as well as gifted handbags and money by older men, Darkness expresses her concern over having to handle clients who are perverts with the erotic aim of sexually harassing or torturing the girls, despite Kazuma seeing her all turned on by the thought of it. Megumin then follows up by citing this service as one that on the surface simply entails tasks like cooking or cleaning in addition to other wholesome requests from the pretend boyfriend, during which Kazuma tells a Darkness fantasizing about fiendish requests to shut up.

He is next shocked when Aqua reveals that they are asking him to pay for renting them as his girlfriends, so they can earn his money without risking their chastity. Muttering about the goddess asking to be bought, Kazuma realises how interesting it will be to make these troublebringers quiet down, and thus agrees to renting them.

Upon using the services of the "Rental Goddess", who suggests for them to find some place where they can pass the time, Kazuma blushes as he points out that Aqua is now his girlfriend, despite it in fact resulting from the power of money. Aqua next pulls him into a popular crowded cafe, where she calls for showing off on Instagram even though it doesn't exist in this world. He is then presented a challenge over a giant parfait, which will be free if they can both eat it up but will get him charged 100 thousand eris if not. Although Aqua is determined to win, she soon suffers from a swelled stomach, which she refuses to go to the toilet for, because she doesn't want to leave this fine shop she came to for a date with bad memories. In the end, Aqua relieves herself among the bushes of a nearby park, while the onlooking Kazuma finds the useless goddess a little different than usual, before the reinvigorated Aqua proposes going for a second round.

Upon using the services of the 14 year-old "Rental Wizard", Megumin as she comprehends how Kazuma is her boyfriend for the day, begins blushing when she imagines them possibly kissing and coupling, though she then tells Kazuma that her red face is the result of her magical power for Explosion Magic leaking out. With Megumin accordingly striving to act like normal, the pair proceeds to walk around and eat ice cream on a park bench, though Megumin emits a scream of surprise when Kazuma's hand brushes against hers. Thinking that Kazuma is having the hots for her, Megumin contemplates about them being ready for reproductive activities, yet when she suggests about it, Kazuma proclaims how it is forbidden to touch loli girls. Infuriated at being called a loli again, Megumin to Kazuma's shock starts repeatedly chanting about kissing and coupling and babies.

Upon using the services of the "Rental Crusader" who nobody else wanted to rent, Kazuma yells at Darkness for her starting out by laying flat on the ground so he can attack at will. After Kazuma gibes on Darkness herself being the pervert she had talked about when she suggests for him to fondle her thighs and toy with her butt before whipping her, Darkness who thinks that he doesn't find her body erotic enough proceeds to strip off her armour so he will return to being a fiend. Turned on by Kazuma ordering her to shut up and follow him, she blindfolds herself and shackles her hands and legs using the gear she had prepared to gift him with in order to have him set her up as a slave, making Kazuma realise how hopeless she is.

Later when the party dines, the three girls ask Kazuma which one of them is the best girlfriend. Kazuma though begs them to act like normal or better yet do nothing, eliciting booing from the girls.
