Darkness! That's not fair!
All right, then... Very well, very well.
Go ahead and do as you please.
Huh?
I'm level 21,
the highest level in the party.
You're being awfully impertinent for an under-leveled lowbie.
If you get that, then give the spot nearest the fireplace to your superior.
Huh?
I don't think your stats have risen at all since I first saw them.
You idiot.
My stats were obviously maxed out from the very start!
You're mistaken to lump me together with ordinary adventurers.
Looks like my only choice now is to whip out my deadly teleport.
H-Hey, Megumin! That's not fair.
Those are the rules.
Huh?
Destroyer, explosion!
Oh, what's this?
You're being very obedient.
That explains why
her intelligence doesn't improve, no matter how much she levels up.
Hey, wait.
Why are you crying?
What's with that look in your eyes, like you're staring at someone pitiful?
Goodnight.
Hey, Kazuma!
We acquired a mansion.
We resolved the matter of making it through winter, which had been our top concern.
But we still have lots of problems left to solve...
Sheesh! What's your problem?!
Hey, what're you guys doing here?
Oh, it's you, Kazuma? Don't scare us like that.
These guys are Keith and Dust, two adventurers I got to know recently.
You're way too jumpy.
Anyway, is there something down this way?
This is a secret only for male adventurers.
Okay...
Have you heard of a shop covertly run by succubi
that lets you have nice dreams?
Fill me in.

I definitely couldn't have come to a place like this on my own.
Welcome!
Please come this way.
Uh, sure.
And his companions, right this way.
Y-Yes!
Okay.
Please wait just a moment.
You're...
Welcome to Hell's door.
Do your best, you daredevil.
S-Sure.
I can hardly wait.
Occupation... Artisan Weaver?
Huh?!
He wasn't an adventurer?!
Sir?
Sir?
Y-Yes?
Is this your first time visiting our establishment?
Oh, yes.
Well, then, I will explain.
Please do.
We succubi have established
a mutually beneficial relationship with the male adventurers of this city.
Yes.
Many adventurers live in stables, correct?
Yes.
So, we believe males get pent-up in various ways.
But they are unable to do anything about it since
there are other adventurers sleeping all around them.
I have nothing to feel guilty about, but...
Yeah, there's nothing to feel guilty about!
Having said that,
if they were to try to make a move on a female adventurer sleeping nearby,
the other adventurers would notice instantly and beat them into submission.
Or it's possible the person he tried to mess around with
could cut his you-know-what off with a hidden dagger.
Has that actually happened to anyone?!
And so,
we succubi give male adventurers dreams that bring them relief.
We do end up taking a bit of your vitality,
but we do so in moderation to ensure it won't affect your adventuring or daily life.
Wonderful! It's beyond wonderful!
If everyone could be in a constant state of afterglow,
there would be no war!
Please write your order for your desired dream
on this questionnaire sheet.
Um, there are entries for
the customer's condition, gender, and appearance in the dream...
Uh, what are these?
Those are for requests such as "I want to be a king or hero."
We also have customers who want to try it from a female perspective.
Really?
There are also those who wish to return to boyhood
and get pushed down by strong female adventurers.
Are the men in this city all right?
Oh, what about this "partner preferences"?
How much can you actually configure?
Their personality, speech patterns,
appearance, and even how much they like you...
It can be anything or anyone,
whether they exist in real life or not.
For real?!
For real.
So a specific famous girl, a girl who's close to me,
or even a 2D waifu would be possible?
Yes, though I don't know what a "2D waifu" is.
Would the rights to one's likeness and so forth cause problems?
They wouldn't. It's a dream, after all.
That's true!
Would that mean there's no restriction on your partner's age, either?
Oh, not that I intend to ask for that sort of thing.
I just... How should I put it...
There is not.
Please choose whatever you like.
I-Is that okay?
In terms of, you know, regulations and stuff?
It's all right. It is a dream, after all.
That's true!
Yeah, there's no problem if it's in a dream!
I can't believe this!
Succubi erotic dream services are the greatest!
Oh, also, please be careful not to drink too much this evening, okay?
If you sleep too soundly, we can't show you any dreams.
All right, understood!
Konosuba!
I'm back.
Be grateful, Kazuma! Tonight's dinner is incredible!
It's crab! Crab!
My family sent them to congratulate us on moving in.
It's super high-grade marbled red crab,
and it even came with this amazing, top-quality liquor!
They said it's to thank their daughter's party members for always looking out for her!
I can hardly believe I'm laying my eyes on marbled red crab!
I've never been more glad that I joined this party than I am today.
Is it that luxurious?
Of course!
If you told me I could eat this crab
in exchange for holding off on using explosion magic for the day,
I would restrain myself with pleasure
and unleash my explosion magic after I've eaten!
That's how luxurious it is!
Wow, that's aweso— Huh?
What did you say at the end there?
Gulp.
Oh, no!
I can't stop myself!
Crack!
Crack!
Crack!
Kazuma, Kazuma!
Give me a little fire.
I'll teach you a tasty way to drink this.
Here. Tinder!
Just place a shell filled with crab innards here, and...
It should be ready.
Gulp.
M-Me, too!
This is a trap!
That succubus lady told me, didn't she?
If I drink too much and am sound asleep, I won't be able to dream!
Aqua, Aqua, what does it taste like?
Calm down. I'm a man who's capable of self-restraint.
A man who possesses a will of steel and the strength to endure!
This really hits the spot! It truly is good!
Don't be tempted! I can't be tempted!
I'm sure there'll be no stopping me once I get a taste!
Please give me some, too!
Just for today! What can it hurt?
No. I hear your whole life goes "poof" if you start drinking in childhood.
Everyone drink up!
I'm in a great mood now, so I'll show you the grand unveiling of my new party trick!
A trick of the fingers...
The mobile fortress, Destroyer!
Th-The form, shape, and movements!
It's the Destroyer for sure!
To think you could mimic that movement!
Again, what the heck is a Destroyer?!
Aqua, do it again! Do it again!
Art isn't something you can just show off when asked.
It's something that presents itself naturally when the soul commands it.
What's wrong, Kazuma?
Did the food my family sent not suit your tastes?
N-No! The crab is super tasty.
It's just that I drank with some friends today and don't think I can drink any more.
Tomorrow. I'll have some tomorrow.
I see.
Stop! Don't give me such a genuine smile!
You normally blurt out nothing but nasty stuff that creeps me out!
At least eat lots, then.
It's my thanks for everything.
I kind of feel guilty...
That's right.
I should just drink with everyone and forget about the dream.
Look at the faces of my allies here.
Think about which is more important!
Yes. There was never any need to worry about anything in the first place.
Well, it's a little early,
but I'm going to turn in.
Goodnight, everyone.
Konosuba!
Crap, now my heart is pounding.
Aw, what should I do? What should I do?
I'm so nervous, expectant, and turned on that I can't sleep!
I'm just having them give me a dream,
but etiquette is important.
The lantern flame went out?
Hey, whoa, whoa! No, wait...
I felt drowsy earlier and closed my eyes.
That would mean this is...
My dream?!
The moon really is pretty toni—
Yo.
Wh... Wh... Wh-Wh-Wh-Wh-Wh... Wh...
I always imagined she had a sexy body, but this is better than I imagined.
Maybe the succubus adjusted her to suit my tastes.
H-Hey, Kazu—
What's the matter, Darkness?
Come on over here.
You can start by washing my back.
Uh... Huh?
What's with that reaction?
It's kind of new. I like it.
Still, why were you the one to appear in my dream?
Maybe I shouldn't have requested a beautiful older woman with a hot body?
Wh-Wh-What are you... What are talking about?!
No, um, uh... I-I have so many questions that my brain can't quite keep up.
Like why you're so calm, about washing your back,
what you mean by a "dream," and what this is all about—
Whoops, playing hard-to-get wasn't one of the settings I chose.
Though, I did write that I wanted a shy older woman who was inexperienced.
I guess this works, then.
Huh?
There's no way around you being set to be inexperienced,
but please hurry and wash my back.
U-Um...
Is me washing your back considered common sense in this situation?
Hurry! I can't stand it anymore, in all sorts of ways!
Y-Y-You...
Do you understand what's going on right now?
If Aqua or Megumin found out about this...
If that happens, why don't we all just get in together?
What's wrong with you?
Seriously, what's wrong with you today?!
Hey, you're being awfully noisy! What time do you think it is?!
Think about how much you're bothering the neighbors!
One can only be so unsensible, you know.
Saying something sensible in this situation won't do any good at this point!
Is it me? Am I the one with no common sense?
Am I the strange one?!
Yeah, you're always strange in general.
Oh, this is a dream, so I guess it's no problem if you make noise.
All right.
Please go ahead, then.
Why is this happening?
Still, it's pathetic that my disposition
prevents me from resisting when you order me so brazenly.
This feels new in all sorts of ways.
I'm the one who's usually creeped out by you,
so it's nice seeing you shy and embarrassed for a change.
Wh-Why, you...
You're talking and acting like some old geezer today!
C-Come on, that's enough, right?
C-Can I leave now?
Don't be foolish!
I know I set you to be inexperienced,
but don't you know what routinely comes next?
Next you dry me without using a towel.
This is not right!
No matter how inexperienced I may be, that's definitely...
Hurry...
wrong...
Hurry...
Hurry!
Intruder! Show yourself!
Everyone, there's an intruder in the mansion!
Huh?
Aqua's voice?
I didn't ask to be forced to wait at this point!
Even in my dreams, she gets in my way!
I'm gonna go complain!
K-Kazuma?
Hey, Aqua!
Look, look!
An intruder got caught in my barrier, and now she's immobilized...
We've got another suspicious guy here!
Who're you calling suspicious?!
Oh, a succubus girl?
This unfledged succubus got caught in my barrier, and now she's immobilized.{This succubus got caught in the barrier, and now she's immobilized.}
I'm positive she was after you, Kazuma.
What the heck? This is strange. Really strange.
Wait, was that "Darkness" I ran into in the bathroom...
I'll do an exorcism right away.
Just be good and let us destroy you.
Just resign yourself.
I'm going to use an extraordinarily powerful anti-devil—
Huh?
Run away.
B-But...
What're you doing?
She's a devil who came here to attack you and steal your vitality!
Are you insane, Kazuma?
Sir, it is due to my inexperience
and failure to sneak in covertly{break in} that this has come to pass.
I can't allow you to humiliate yourself.
I will accept my elimination,
so just pretend you don't know anything.
S-Sir?
What's the big idea?
There's no way a goddess like myself
can let that devil get away.
Kazuma, if you don't want us to beat you into submission,
then move aside.
Kazuma has been charmed by that succubus and is under her control!
He's been acting weird since a little while ago!
He's been blurting out things about dreams and settings and so forth, so I'm sure of it!
You accursed succubus, you put me through so much humiliation...
I'll slaughter you!
Kazuma, she may be cute, but she's still a devil,
a monster.
Have you gone mad?
Go.
But...
It looks like I'll have to settle this score with Kazuma right here and now.
Once I've pulverized you,
I'll perform that succubus's last rites.
Fine.
There are some things you absolutely must protect.
Bring it on!
The succubus flew away, huh?
Better toss some salt.
Konosuba!
DAY
Glance...
Hey, talk to me already.
Besides, I think you were part of the problem,
since you got caught up in the mood, too.
You really don't remember what happened last night, right?
You don't have any memory of it since you were being controlled
by that succubus, right?
Yeah, it's unfortunate, but I don't remember.
All I know is that I had a nice dream.
I-I see. Good, then.
Yeah, there's no helping it.
It was sort of an accident.
I'll try to forget about it, too.
Last night, I was controlled by a succubus.
That's the story I'm going with!
A convenient explanation fell into my lap,
so I might as well go with it.
Still, you were kind of overbearing at the time, and a little scary,
but it wasn't bad.
Although it was unacceptable for you to instill in me
whatever you pleased just because I was ignorant of it.
Hey, it's not like you're really some inexperienced lady.
Brush up on your common sense a little more.
Wh—
Besides, what happened clearly wasn't my fault in any way.
I lit the lantern, and I put up the sign saying the bath was in use.
Who the heck pranked us like this?
H-Hey, you do remember last night, don't you?
Were those actions really caused by a succubus controlling you?!
Hey, Kazuma!
Destroyer alert! Destroyer alert!
Destroyer alert! Destroyer alert!
The mobile fortress, Destroyer, is currently approaching this city!
What?!
Huh? Destroyer?
