Honor for This Dragon! (2) (このドラゴンに栄光を!②, Kono Doragon ni Ēkō wo! 2) is the eighty-first chapter of the KonoSuba manga series, and covers Chapter 1 in Volume 8 of the light novels.

Summary[]

Kazuma is forced to endure the overwhelming presence of Vanir's shell because Aqua indicates that Emperor Zel likes to sleep in its hands, then hears from Megumin how Chomusuke is spooked by the enormous magical power emitted by the chick because so much of it was poured into his egg by so many people before birth. Disappointed because Emperor Zel nevertheless will never become as strong as a Dragon who can fight the Demon King's Army, Kazuma and Megumin contemplate eating the chick to gain experience points, horrifying Aqua into calling Darkness for help.

The Crusader proceeds to express her joy at returning to the lively mansion, though she is accordingly piqued by Kazuma's quip about her being a virgin divorcee who got dumped by Alderp, and revealing that she is listed as never having married on the official registry only makes him in addition to Megumin realise how she had abused her family's noble powers to change the records. Darkness finally loses it when Aqua in an attempt to defend her instead blurts out the secret regarding her love for cute things, before Chris pays a visit to the mansion.

The Thief explains to the party her desire to have Kazuma help her retrieve more lost sacred treasures, a task Darkness declines because she has to take on the role of the governor in place of the recovering Ignis, while Megumin offers to use her Explosion Magic for threatening any evil possessors of the sacred treasures to give them up. Aqua meanwhile also declines much to the annoyance of Kazuma, who having seen her doing nothing but periodically caring for Emperor Zel gets taunted about his lack of empathy for his parents. Thus in response to Aqua's declaration about raising the best "dragon" through setting a strong example, he points out the goddess' incapability of defeating the Demon King.

Aqua next brings up the topic of the upcoming Eris Appreciation Festival, which Megumin explains to Kazuma is a festival held for expressing gratitude to Eris over letting people survive another year, during which people dress up as the Goddess of Fortune in hopes of good luck. As the two of them in addition to Darkness, whose family will be funding the one held in Axel, discuss the festivities, an agitated Aqua while getting pecked by the startled chick demands to have the festival cancelled and replaced with an "Aqua Appreciation Festival", shocking the awkwardly onlooking Chris. The Goddess of Water goes on to holler about her junior being an incompetent show-off, regarding which Kazuma hears from Chris was actually Aqua pushing her work onto Eris before making a show to help out.

After Aqua who blames her bad luck on Eris brings up Darkness' identity as a divorcee upon the heiress reiterating inability to help with the festivals, Megumin not being an Eris follower like Darkness pledges her support. Kazuma though expresses refusal to participate in Aqua's crazy scheme that can enrage all the Eris followers, so subsequent to a round of quarreling with him, Aqua decides to enact her plan alongside not only Megumin but also Chris, much to the disbelief of the avatar of Eris.
