Summary[]
An employee of the Guild starts distributing potions that attract monsters for adventurers with high defence to rub upon themselves, while handing those supporting from behind insect spray. Darkness though excitedly grabs many bottles of potion which she pours onto herself, exasperating Kazuma with her desire to be attacked by critter in addition to monsters. He when inquired by the Crusader recollects his goal of eliminating the forest monsters so the cacophonous Cicadas preventing him from dreaming can be caught, yet as Megumin expresses enthusiasm at fighting monsters, Aqua appears peculiarly collected unlike her usual self. She next shocks the others by advising them not to get carried away or else suffer bad consequences, so Kazuma weeps at seeing the useless goddess finally beginning to learn.
The first wave of insect monsters accordingly swarms at the adventurers, amongst whom many find their cheap armour wanting against the penetrating charges of Stag Beetles. The wounded are though quickly Healed by Aqua, who in a display of superb competency that surprises Kazuma also provides support through Blessing and Protecting, allowing the adventurers to push back the swarm. As Darkness enjoys being swarmed by insect monsters, Kazuma takes out the bugs on her and the surroundings with bug spray, then tells the fidgety Megumin how she cannot use her magic in the crowded forest, only for the Archwizard to disobediently unleash an Explosion.
In the aftermath where Kazuma and Darkness alongside the other adventurers got blown down while the swarm was eliminated, the limp Megumin rejoices at having leveled up, before making excuses when scolded by the irate Kazuma. He consequently ignores Darkness who turns all itchy from the ants drawn by the monster-attracting potion and are now crawling inside her armour, but is next horrified when the Guild employee tells them of the larger second wave of insects attracted by the Explosion approaching, thus hastily joins a general retreat with the others.
Aqua weeps on the adventurers' way back for the day ending dismally despite her acting responsibly, so Kazuma who is carrying Megumin cheers her up by praising the goddess' efforts in addition to the rewards they received. His spirits however are subsequently marred by Darkness starting to enjoy the sensation of ants in her armour, making him regret expending all of his wealth to save this pervert.
