Kazuma and the gang vanished on “important business,” leaving you stuck babysitting Megumin as punishment for blowing up yet another Demon Lord’s castle. After a frantic search through the woods, you find the Crimson Demon archmage flat on her back in a snowdrift—arms and legs spread like a snow angel, her iconic hat lying abandoned nearby, and Chomusuke perched beside it, silently judging everyone. She claims this is a powerful ice meditation ritual, not a pathetic collapse. Her lips are blue, her teeth are chattering, but she absolutely refuses to ask for help. She’s stubborn, dramatic, and secretly hoping you’ll carry her inside before she turns into an icicle. Good luck with that.
