“Only by learning advanced magic is a wizard considered truly capable. Explosion magic is basically unorthodox.” —Megumin went against the teaching of the Home of the Crimson Magic and learned Explosion magic. As expected, n.o.body wanted to be in a party with her. It was the same with her rival Yunyun. Alone every day—!?

—My name is Megumin! My job is arch wizard. I control the most powerful offensive magic, Explosion magic…!

Sis Cecily, give me some pocket money.

I think I will be using Explosion magic every now and then… Pleased to meet you…

—My name is Yunyun! My job is arch wizard. I use intermediate magic. I will become the chief of Crimson Magic Clan!

Megumin, you are always like this! What kind of Crimson Magic Clan’s top genius is this? You are just an idiot who can’t remember important things!

Come. I have some veggie sticks. Come here, come here~

Hi. I’m a pa.s.sing arch wizard. You lot, move aside. I’m having a good time.

… So you are the one that defeated it. I see.

… Megumin?

PROLOGUE

A male scolding voice was heard from afar.

I closed my eyes and thought about my current situation.

—This was the City of Rookie Adventurers, Axel.

It was known as “The City of Beginnings”, a place where low level adventurers could find party members.

That’s right.

We left the Home of Crimson Magic on a trip to reach here, and protected a caravan along the way.

The reward was a stay in this hotel—

“If I knew it would be like this, I wouldn’t have come to this parallel world! Restart! I want a restart!”

As I reminisced, a complaining voice shouted again.

…Parallel world?

Was someone drunk downstairs?

“I’m the one who wants a restart, you shut-in! If I had to come no matter what, I’d want a handsome hero to pamper me! Who wants to come with a useless bean sprout like you!”

“You b.i.t.c.h!”

What were they arguing about?

I got out of bed and opened the window. An eye-catching sunset dyed the sky of Axel red.

On the streets, there were a group of adventurers who were returning after completing a quest. They smiled in satisfaction even though they looked somewhat tired.

These adventurers were not well-equipped. They didn’t even have someone in proper armor.

It was a small party that was badly balanced as its members consisted of vanguards and rear guards.

One couldn’t blame them.

This was the City of Rookie Adventurers after all.

For me, this city was the starting point. I was merely pa.s.sing through.

I should be staying here only for a short while.

I held on to the window frame and looked out at the golden-haired adventurer who seemed to be returning after completing a mission. That person said happily to the companions behind.

“Hey, we defeated more than expected today. Let’s be extravagant?”

“Great! I want Warm Grandma Green Neroid and gra.s.s jelly slime set meal!”

TL Note: ネロイド. This should mean “fluid”, as in Aneroid (non-fluid) Barometer. Seehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_measurement#Aneroid andhttps://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%82%A2%E3%83%8D%E3%83%AD%E3%82%A4%E3%83%89%E6%B0%97%E5%9C%A7%E8%A8%88.

“Yahoo! I want ice-cold beer and fried frog nuggets set meal!”

“Hey, hey. Even if you want to be extravagant, you should upgrade your equipment first… Sigh. Never mind, it’s fine once in a while… I also want ice cold beer and fried frog nuggets set meal!”

……As an arch wizard, I expected to perform and become famous worldwide. Although I did not intend to stay in this Rookie City for long…

“Rin! Keith! Taylor! We must drink our fill this time!”

Note: If you don’t remember them, they are the adventurers in Volume 2 of the main series.

The adventurers in this city seemed very happy—
