Success for This Emergency Quest! (この緊急クエストに成功を!, Kono Kinkyū Kuesuto ni Sēkō wo!) is the eighteenth chapter of the KonoSuba Comic Anthology manga series, and was illustrated by Batsu.
Summary[]
Kazuma and Darkness wonder how the other two are faring after the party, on an emergency quest to gather five Speckled Grass, used paper-scissors-rock to determine who takes which side of a fork in the mountain road. As Kazuma comments on Megumin's firepower being capable of fighting through if it comes to that, Darkness and him hurry ahead, before they are abruptly faced by a giant treasure chest in front of them. Overjoyed, Kazuma rushes up to open the chest, which turns out to be a Mimic. Her warning to Kazuma coming too late, Darkness dashes forward in an attempt to save him, just as the Mimic opens its tentacle-filled maw to gobble the two of them up.
Coming to his senses inside the Mimic to realise himself being bound by tentacles, Kazuma then finds other tentacles stringing up and fondling a masochistically enjoying Darkness. He next notices his clothing beginning to get dissolved like Darkness' armour, though he shakes himself out of the reverie and frantically thinks of a way to get out of this, only to discover that he had been too distracted by Darkness to notice how the tentacles are actually weak and loose. Kazuma after breaking free promptly jumps to rescue Darkness, and yells at her in irritation when she wants to further enjoy the tentacles' fondling.
In ignorance of Darkness' protests, he accordingly starts hacking at the insides of the Mimic hoping to make it open its maw, causing the monster to thrash about and run around, which so happens to be on the trail of a panicky Aqua and Megumin. Although Megumin prepares to deal with the Mimic using her invincible Explosion Magic, she first has Aqua buy some time by letting herself be chased around.
As Megumin proceeds with her incantations, Kazuma manages to heave open the Mimic's maw, to Darkness' dismay. At this moment, Megumin casts her Explosion that also engulfs Kazuma as well as the Speckled Grass, resulting in the quest being deemed a failure.
