Megumin and Yunyun arrive in a new town, as friendly as a porcupine's embrace. First impressions aren’t the best—after all, they’re sleeping in a stable—but Megumin’s sunny disposition convinces her that this is all part of the grand adventurer life.
She struts into the adventurer’s guild, ready to make a name for herself. Until she trips on the way in and knocks over a stack of mission requests. No matter, she’s got magic to impress the crowd. Only, the crowd is a bit thin at this hour, so she waits and pretends to read a poster until more people show up.
When she spots another magic user whose stats are higher than hers, she’s so shocked that her interactions with the local adventurers get more crossed wires than a telephone company during a snowstorm.
When it comes to finding a party to join, she’s got plenty of interested candidates. Until they learn about her devotion to explosion magic, and one by one, they bail. Suddenly, her supposed wonder status doesn’t seem so promising anymore.
Meanwhile, Yunyun lands a job at a local tavern. She gets into an argument with a grumpy old man, which predictably leads to her losing the job and the old man becoming even grumpier.
When the two finally land a proper job, you’d think they’d won the lottery. But in practice, it’s more like a circus act. The town may be new, but for Megumin and Yunyun, it’s the same old chaos—just on a bigger stage.
