【Beginning】
After a full day rest, Megumin’s strength had recovered. Then, she walked out of the woods while bringing the doll on her shoulder. As instructed, both of them soon arrived at a village. She walked towards an old man, who was working on a farm.
Megumin: Hum, hum, hum! I’m the top arch wizard of the Crimson Magic Clan, Megumin.
Megumin: Also the user of the explosion magic, the strongest attacking arts in the world!
Megumin: Are you interesting in joining me——Hey! It hurts!
Doll: Stop the nonsense!
Megumin: Boohoo, you’re such a brutal doll...Excuse me, is there any bizarre thing happening in the village recently?
Villager: Strange things? Yes! My husband didn’t step on dog poop today.
Villager: My daughter didn’t buy any unnecessary stuff, and my son did not get into trouble——
Doll: This is not strange at all! I mean did you see any suspicious person or thing?
Villager: Oh yes! I just saw a speaking doll and a so-called arch wizard.
Megumin: Well that’s suspicious...Wait, are you saying us?
Villager: Of course——hey, what’s the hurry? Is everything alright?
Villager B: Wheeze...slimes appear in the east of the forest. They’re ferocious. I almost got hit by them.
Doll: The slimes! They must have eaten my arm and leg. Then the magic power turns them into savage monsters!
Megumin: What are we waiting for? Let’s blow them away with my magic!
【End】
Based on the instruction of the villager, they headed east in the woods. Megumin fought off the slimes all the way through the deep of the forest. Then, a gigantic blue monster was within their sight.
Doll: Look, there! I see it! My left leg was in that monster’s stomach!
Megumin: Humph, let me handle this! My ultimate magic can solve any problem!
Megumin: Darkness darker than anything, I beseech thee, to combine with my crimson.
Megumin: The time of awakening cometh.
Megumin: Justice, fallen upon the chaotic realm, appears now to confront the boundless distortion!
Megumin’s staff glittered with crimson stars, which began to condense; the iridescent light shone over the entire woods. She opened her beady eyes——
Megumin: Explosion!
Boom! Over a half of the forest was razed to the ground. The explosion left a huge hole, but the blue monster had vanished. At this moment, something cast a shadow against the doll.
Doll: Hey, watch out! Above you!
The doll stepped back when it sensed the danger. However, Megumin, without seeing this coming, was held down by a jelly-like monster fallen from the sky.
Megumin: Um…
Doll: Oh no! Megumin is swallowed by the monster. I must hurry to save her!
With effort, the doll pulled her out from the monster’s stomach finally. Megumin was covered with blue slime…
Megumin: Boohoo, it’s sticky...But compared with the toads, this monster had a sweet, fruity taste just like a jelly!
Doll: Stop dreaming...you’re almost killed...do you know that!?
Megumin: Really!?
Doll: Yeah, but looks like we’re unable to beat this monster today! Let’s go back to the village.
Stunned by Megumin’s embarrassed look, the villagers brought her to shower and gave her new clothes.
Villager: Are you trying to defeat the giant jelly? You may seek help from two adventurers in another village nearby.
Megumin: “The villager didn’t speak their names. It’s too suspicious. I better not get into this.”
As Megumin was about to reject villager’s advice, he cut in.
Villager: The two adventurers defeated the demons and saved the village half year ago.
Villager: I heard that one of them was very strong. He could steal anything, even panties.
Megumin: “Panties...I only know one who’ll do this kind of dirty things!”
