A Goddess for This Corrupt Hot Springs Town! (この不浄(ふじょう)温泉街(おんせんがい)女神(めがみ)を!, Kono Fujō na Onsengai ni Megami wo!) is the nineteenth episode of the KonoSuba anime and the ninth episode of Season 2, which covers Chapters 3 to 4 in Volume 4 of the light novels, or Chapter 36 to Chapter 38 of the manga.

Synopsis[]

The party makes their way to Arcanretia, a city known for it's recuperative hot springs! But what they don't know about the city might spell doom for their vacation.

Plot[]

Kazuma marches into the Main Cathedral of the Axis Order, sits in the confessional, and tells Aqua to control her followers, only to have his requests deflected by prompts to confess his sins. He changes tactics by confessing various misdeeds he committed against her. This backfires, as Aqua hysterically drags him into her compartment and sobs endlessly even as Darkness and Megumin are eager to leave, Megumin having been traumatized by an undisclosed, terrifying incident involving Axis followers.

An old Axis follower enters the confessional and confesses he has been tempted by the big breasts on a portrait of Eris. Aqua consoles him into tears, before revealing that Eris wears chest pads. After the contented follower leaves, Aqua explains to a disgusted Kazuma that gods are empowered by the devotion they receive, so she needs to protect her followers, who provide her with fanatical worship despite their small numbers.

Back at the inn, Kazuma learns to his disappointment that Wiz has already bathed in the hot springs, and is unable to interest Darkness or Megumin in joining him at the mixed bath, where a man named Hans grumbles to a woman named Wolbach about the Axis Order. Kazuma stares at Wolfbach as she leaves, then at Hans when he drops his towel. Kazuma and Hans get traumatised by the masseuses, who try to convert them. Returning to the springs, Kazuma hears Megumin frolicking with Chomusuke and Darkness in the women's bath. Intuiting that he is eavesdropping by the fence, they lure him closer by discussing him and pretending to fondle each other; Darkness then bashes him through the fence, sparking a battle. Kazuma Creates Water at the girls who throw things at him. Aqua weeps tears that burn Wiz, hollering about being chased out of Arcanletia's secret spring because she turned it into pure hot water by bathing in it, as well as the old man in charge of spring maintenance not believing her to be their patron goddess.

The next morning, Aqua tells the others the old man talked about the hot springs' water quality degrading, which she reckons is sabotage by the Devil King's Army to bankrupt the Axis Order. She drags Darkness into helping her save the city. Kazuma and Megumin refuse to help, instead going walking around and are harassed again. As they take a break by the lake, they see Hans taking out his rage, before he runs off when he sees Wiz coming.

Aqua preaches at the fountain for her followers to not use the hot springs the Devil King's Army has been poisoning, yet in addition to not believing her even when she reveals her goddess identity, the townsfolk call her out for turning their hot springs into pure hot water when she went around purifying the contaminated springs. Chased back to the inn, Aqua cries at night over the danger facing her followers. The Axis followers come to the inn in a mob, declaring their intent to lynch Aqua for impersonating their goddess.

Characters[]

Differences to other versions[]

  • The anime skips the part in the light novel where Kazuma, while undressing, overhears Hans discussing the conspiracy, and plans to avoid trouble by secretly leaving, only to head straight into the springs when he hears Wolbach talking.
  • In the light novel, Hans leaves first after Kazuma's intrusion, leaving Wolbach to comment about the Crimson Demons and her other half before she advises Kazuma not to bathe in the local hot springs again.
  • Wiz in the light novel joins Kazuma and Megumin in their morning walk, where they talk about her past, before Kazuma, wishing to avoid trouble, drags the girls away when he spies Hans in the distance. They later head outside the city for Megumin's Explosion exercise that happens to destroy some Kobolds as well, following which Wiz passively defeats a Beginner's Bane attacking them.
  • In the light novel, subsequent to Aqua's failed preaching with a magic megaphone, the party asks around about Hans, as well as reporting the poisoning to the local Adventurer Guild.
  • The lynch mob is an anime-original bonus feature that doesn't appear in the light novel.
