Chapter Summaries

Jiang Lianqiu’s group found Kazuma and Mikami Kyoya confronting Silvia, and Kazuma enthusiastically agreed to join the Demon King’s Army for her. After Jiang revealed Silvia was a Chimera with a male half, Kazuma panicked and begged for help, but everyone left him to face her.

• Kazuma embraced Silvia and announced he would join the Demon King’s Army, while Mikami Kyoya tried to remind him that Silvia was their target.
• Jiang Lianqiu arrived with Aqua, Alice, Yuzuha, and the others, and Aqua recognized Mikami Kyoya as someone she had sent to another world.

• Jiang Lianqiu identified Silvia as a growth-type Chimera and revealed that half of her was a man and her breasts had been added later.
• Silvia admitted she had deliberately pressed herself against Kazuma, who screamed for Jiang Lianqiu and Mikami Kyoya to save him, but no one intervened.

Jiang Lianqiu rescued Kazuma from Silvia, then learned that the Demon King could silence his subordinates with strange black flames. The group left with a troubling clue about the Demon King and Jiang Lianqiu’s approval for Mikami Kyoya to report the truth about him and Kazuma to the royal capital.

• Silvia’s attempt to absorb Kazuma triggered a surge of Aether Energy, but Jiang Lianqiu cut her in half with a Frostfire blade and saved Kazuma.
• Jiang Lianqiu questioned Silvia about Yasakyoichi, but black flames engulfed and destroyed her before she could reveal more than that the Demon King had found the truth of the world.
• Aqua, Megumin, Alice, and the others feared the black flames, while Jiang Lianqiu said the Demon King had likely silenced Silvia to hide from him.
• Mikami Kyoya asked whether he should report the incident to the royal capital, and Jiang Lianqiu told him to report everything truthfully, including his and Kazuma’s origins.

After returning to modern Japan, Jiang Lianqiu learned that the fantasy world was a Mirror World created by the ancient Theia impact and began investigating signs of magic in his own world. At Fumizuki Academy, Tsukishiro Yanagi identified Chitose Isuzu as carrying a faint nonhuman aura, leading Jiang Lianqiu to suspect the source of the world’s magical activity.

• Jiang Lianqiu persuaded Mikami Kyoya to stop hiding his origins from the kingdom’s officials, and Mikami Kyoya accepted his advice.

• Jiang Lianqiu called Aqua about magic in modern Japan, but Aqua said she had never encountered reincarnated people who could use it.
• Tsukishiro Yanagi reported that Chitose Isuzu had a faint nonhuman aura, and Jiang Lianqiu suspected a connection to Amagi Brilliant Park.

Jiang Lianqiu investigated Fumizuki Academy’s connection to the Maple Kingdom and learned that Todo Kaoru was studying a worldwide decline in magic. After giving Todo a magic-rich gemstone, he went with Tsukishiro Yanagi to the second-year placement exams, where Shimada Minami recognized him as the commander she had met in another world.

• Jiang Lianqiu asked Tsukishiro Yanagi to investigate Amagi Brilliant Park and accompanied her to Fumizuki Academy to look for Chitose Isuzu.

• At the placement exam, Chitose Isuzu carried a collapsed pink-haired student before Tsukishiro Yanagi took the girl to the infirmary.
• Shimada Minami spotted Jiang Lianqiu outside the exam room and recognized him as the commander from her time in another world.

After Jiang Lianqiu arranged a make-up exam for Himeji Mizuki and approved Kirishima Shoko's training at the Research Hub, he questioned Chitose Isuzu about people from the Maple Kingdom. Chitose drew a blunderbuss and aimed it at him, but someone restrained her as a gun was pressed to her temple.

• Shimada Minami discovered that her revived body helped her study quickly and improve her grades, then felt disappointed when Jiang Lianqiu and Tsukishiro Yanagi left with Himeji Mizuki.
• Jiang Lianqiu and Tsukishiro Yanagi revived Himeji Mizuki, and Takahashi Yoko brought her food and explained that she would take a separate make-up exam.
• Jiang Lianqiu learned that Kirishima Shoko had helped secure Fumizuki Academy and approved her studying under Von Noymiau at the Research Hub.
• Jiang Lianqiu asked Chitose Isuzu whether citizens from the Maple Kingdom had gathered at Kan Hui Amusement Park, and Chitose pulled a blunderbuss from beneath her skirt and aimed at him.
• Someone placed a hand on Chitose Isuzu's gun barrel while another gun pressed against her temple.

Jiang Lianqiu learned that the Maple Kingdom’s people were survivors of the Magic Kingdom destroyed by Aqua’s Mobile Fortress Destroyer, and that Latifa’s royal lineage secretly sustained the scattered Remnants with Soul Power. Latifa revealed that a mysterious force may have been involved in their arrival in this world, leaving Jiang Lianqiu with questions about the gigantic eye said to have opened in the sky.

• Trigger stopped Chitose Isuzu from pointing her gun at Jiang Lianqiu, and he explained his questions to her.
• Todo Kaoru called Tsukishiro Yanagi to report that Princess Latifa had improved after absorbing the magic in Jiang Lianqiu’s gemstone and believed it came from her homeland.
• Chitose Isuzu explained that the Maple Kingdom’s ancestors had fled the Magic Kingdom after the Mobile Fortress Destroyer destroyed it, and Jiang Lianqiu blamed Aqua for the catastrophe.
• Jiang Lianqiu met Latifa at Amagi Brilliant Park, where she explained that the Magic Kingdom Remnants relied on Soul Power gathered through the amusement park to survive.
• Latifa said extreme Elation could lead people into the Abyss and revealed that the Royal Lineage’s knowledge linked the Magic Kingdom’s destruction to the Demon King’s Army and a gigantic eye in the sky.

• Latifa explained that the Remnants were gradually losing their forms, memories, abilities, and lives, and asked Jiang Lianqiu to take them to their homeland.
• Jiang Lianqiu promised he could give the Remnants recognized identities if they became his people, and Latifa offered the kingdom’s knowledge and clues about the eye in exchange.
• Latifa kissed Jiang Lianqiu as part of a royal blessing, giving him knowledge of past generations and revealing that the eye had driven the Magic Kingdom’s people into extreme emotions.
• Jiang Lianqiu learned that the blessing let him hear inner thoughts, then arranged for Latifa to gather the Remnants and prepare to return home the next day.
• Latifa assigned Chitose Isuzu to accompany Jiang Lianqiu, and he told Trigger to train Isuzu by teaching her his various preferences.

Jiang Lianqiu welcomed the Magic Kingdom Remnants into a new refuge near Axel and instructed Latifa to rebuild their strength and organize their legacy. Back at the estate, he found Darkness dressed as a maid after agreeing to Megumin’s demand that she serve him.

• Darkness told Jiang Lianqiu that Princess Alice planned to visit Axel, and explained how the young princess had shouldered the kingdom’s affairs while Prince Jedis fought at the front.
• Jiang Lianqiu teased Aqua, Wolbach, Megumin, Yuyu, and Darkness about their respective routes, while Darkness urged everyone to behave respectfully around Alice.
• Jiang Lianqiu transferred the Magic Kingdom Remnants from Amagi Brilliant Park to a refuge near Axel, where Latifa and the others felt their magic and life force return.
• Jiang Lianqiu put Sirius in charge of registering the Remnants and told Latifa to organize the Magic Kingdom’s legacy and help her people regain their former strength.
• Darkness greeted Jiang Lianqiu in a deliberately ill-fitting maid outfit, fulfilling the request Megumin had made in exchange for the group behaving around Princess Alice.

Jiang Lianqiu dealt with Darkness’s attempts to provoke him, and she ended up embarrassed by his gentle treatment. After several days passed, Alice arrived at the Dustiness Family estate in Axel, where Darkness welcomed her.

• Darkness tried to entice Jiang Lianqiu into punishing her, but he sent her to clean the already spotless toilet and teased her about her suggestive underwear.
• Darkness tried to turn the tables on Jiang Lianqiu, but her attacks failed, and he eventually rewarded her with gentle affection.
• When Megumin, Yuyu, and Aqua returned, Darkness admitted she was upset that Jiang Lianqiu had treated her gently instead of taking her by force.
• Latifa led the Remnants toward the former site of the Magic Kingdom, accompanied by a squad of Mech Servants arranged by Jiang Lianqiu.
• Alice arrived at the Dustiness Family estate with Rain and Claire Stephanie, and Darkness welcomed the princess.

Darkness brought Princess Alice and her attendants to Lianqiu’s residence, where Alice met Aqua and saw the unusual behavior of Lianqiu’s companions. After the chaotic introductions, Alice formally greeted Aqua as the First Princess of Belzerg.

• Alice asked Darkness about Lianqiu, Aqua, and the other members of their group during the carriage ride to the base.
• Alice marveled at the steel buildings and Automaton mechanisms before entering the garden and seeing Aqua deliver a divine oracle to Cecily.
• Darkness covered Alice’s ears when Aqua’s oracle turned embarrassing, while Claire sensed Trigger’s warning against drawing her sword.
• Darkness rushed to stop Aqua, then found Megumin slapping Yuyu over their dresses and tried to quiet both disturbances.
• Aqua, Megumin, and Yuyu introduced themselves to Alice, who curtsied and gave her name as the First Princess of Belzerg while Claire and Rain knelt.

Aqua warmly welcomed Alice, and Jiang Lianqiu hosted the princess and her companions in his garden. Alice relaxed among them, called Jiang Lianqiu “big brother,” and watched as he took her hand, while Claire reacted with dreamy delight.

• Aqua pulled Alice to the garden for tea and promised to bless her after Alice called her a goddess.
• Chitose Isuzu reported that Vivian’s people had brought thirty-two companies under the Silver Crown System and that Kirishima Shoko wanted to add her family’s businesses.

• Darkness worried that Claire might react badly, but Claire only gazed dreamily at Jiang Lianqiu and Alice holding hands.

Jiang Lianqiu discovered that Alice’s royal bloodline was connected to the destroyed Magic Kingdom and suspected it was attracting Yi Hai to the Royal Capital. He agreed to visit Alice there with his companions, while Eris and Cecily set out to find him, each misunderstanding the other in their own way.

• Jiang Lianqiu told Alice that she was distantly related to Latifa and that Yi Hai attacks on the Royal Capital were likely drawn by her Magic Kingdom bloodline.
• Jiang Lianqiu explained that Latifa and Chitose Isuzu were surviving descendants of the Magic Kingdom, then asked Alice for a blood sample to investigate possible changes to its royal bloodline.
• Alice invited Jiang Lianqiu and his companions to the Royal Capital, offering access to the palace library, and he accepted the invitation.
• Eris learned that Jiang Lianqiu had gone to the Royal Capital, then met Cecily, who tried to recruit her to the Cult of Axis and spat when Eris refused.
• Cecily traveled toward the Royal Capital with Eris and revealed a revealing Jiang Lianqiu body pillow, leaving Eris embarrassed and exhausted.

Jiang Lianqiu searched Belzerg’s royal library for records about the Magic Kingdom while Megumin, Darkness, and Alice accidentally exchanged bodies through Aldap’s Divine Artifact. The exchange left Megumin, Darkness, and Alice in one another’s bodies, and their chaotic reactions continued in the Royal Bath.

• Mikami Kyoya led Jiang Lianqiu to the Royal Palace Library, where Jiang began searching its enormous collection for records about the Magic Kingdom.
• Aqua and Darkness recognized Alice’s necklace as Aldap’s Divine Artifact, which could exchange souls and bodies, and Darkness read its activation incantation while Megumin held it.
• Alice grabbed Darkness’s hand as the necklace activated, causing Megumin, Darkness, and Alice to exchange bodies in a three-way swap.
• Jiang Lianqiu sensed new connections with Megumin and Alice through his Five Senses Resonance and protected the Mental Light Clusters in his Sea of Consciousness.
• Megumin, now in Darkness’s body, gleefully tested her new strength and breasts, while Alice and Darkness tried to stop her; Alice’s lunge sent them all falling over.

A body-swapping artifact and Jiang Lianqiu’s Five Senses Resonance link Alice, Megumin, Darkness, Aqua, and Yuyu in a chaotic chain of swaps. While they hide what happened, Alice enjoys her freedom in Megumin’s body and leads the others to find her brother.

• Jiang Lianqiu explains that the body swaps have connected everyone through Five Senses Resonance, and Megumin struggles with the dizziness of sharing their senses.
• Alice and Darkness agree to keep the swaps secret, while Alice realizes that being in Megumin’s body may let her leave the palace freely.
• Aqua swaps bodies with Yuyu, and Megumin uses Alice’s Personal Tactical Space to erase the maids’ memories of the incident.
• Alice learns to use Megumin’s Personal Tactical Space, enjoys a game console in the bath, and then leads the group toward the library to find her brother.
• Darkness loses her way while pretending to be Alice, so Alice takes the lead and happily embraces her freedom as Megumin.

Jiang Lianqiu and the girls dealt with their swapped bodies in the Royal Palace library before the Demon King's Army attacked the capital. As the group headed into battle, Alice prepared to try Megumin's Explosion Magic while Jiang Lianqiu stayed with Darkness on the city wall.

• Jiang Lianqiu found the four girls in the library and learned Aqua had switched bodies with Yuyu, while Megumin, Darkness, and Alice remained swapped.
• Yuyu described dizziness and other minor problems adjusting to Aqua's goddess body, and Jiang Lianqiu kept the necklace until he could return it to Eris.
• An emergency broadcast warned that the Demon King's Army was attacking and that Yi Hai had infiltrated its ranks.
• The guild inspected the Adventurer Cards and recognized Alice as Megumin, while Megumin, Aqua, and Yuyu were also praised for their apparent abilities.
• Jiang Lianqiu explained that Aqua's goddess soul would protect her and told Darkness she could not fight while everyone believed she was Alice.
• Alice silently vowed to protect everyone, while Megumin ran across the battlefield crying for help.

Megumin, Yuyu, and Darkness fought the Demon King's Army while Alice used Megumin's body to cast Explosion Magic and Eris brought Cecily toward the royal capital. Megumin and Yuyu chased the frog that had swallowed Aqua, but Megumin became trapped in its melting body as Yuyu tried to rescue her.

• Alice used Megumin's body to cast Explosion Magic, then collapsed after exhausting her magic; Darkness realized she had forgotten to warn Alice that the spell could only be used once a day.
• Darkness, in Alice's body, charged into the monsters and discovered that she could hit them, drawing the attention of nearby Adventurers.
• Eris brought Cecily to the outskirts of the royal capital, where Cecily recognized Megumin's Explosion Magic and asked Eris to help her reach the wounded.
• Megumin and Yuyu chased the giant frog that had swallowed Aqua, and Megumin grabbed its leg and slammed it into the ground.
• Megumin punched the frog's belly, but it turned liquid and began swallowing her; Yuyu grabbed Megumin's arm and was pulled toward it too.

Luciphelis, a powerful Demon King's Army Executive, trapped Aqua, Megumin, and Yuyu in a slime swamp, but Jiang Lianqiu took control of Darkness's body and defeated him. As Luciphelis vanished, Jiang Lianqiu saw a strange Aether-filled world in his Remembrance.

• Luciphelis revealed himself as a Twelve-Winged Fallen Angel and trapped Aqua, Megumin, and Yuyu in a Swamp Abyss.
• Cecily and Eris confronted Luciphelis, but his Black Flames nullified Eris's divine power and threatened them both.
• Megumin broke free of the slime, rescued Yuyu and Aqua, and struck Luciphelis before Jiang Lianqiu took control of Darkness's body.
• Jiang Lianqiu seized Luciphelis, overwhelmed his Aether Energy body, and made him vanish.
• Jiang Lianqiu examined Luciphelis's Remembrance and saw a warped world filled with reddish-purple Aether Energy.

Jiang Lianqiu took control through Five Senses Resonance after Alice exhausted Megumin’s magic, then unleashed an Explosion that destroyed the Demon King’s Army and carved a colossal crater beside Belzerg Royal Capital. He restored the land with Earth Titan authority, while Aqua clung to him afterward, crying that she would not get involved again.

• Jiang Lianqiu sensed an enormous cocoon in the Aether Sea-like space that seemed connected to him and the Demon King Yasakyoichi.
• Jiang Lianqiu linked with Megumin and Alice, learned that Alice had exhausted Megumin’s power by casting Explosion, and reassured her.
• Jiang Lianqiu cast Explosion through Megumin’s body, wiping out the Demon King’s Army and creating a crater dozens of times larger than Belzerg Royal Capital.
• Jiang Lianqiu used Earth Titan authority to fill the crater and restore the wilderness, while Alice and the gathered fighters stared in shock.
• Aqua hugged Jiang Lianqiu and tearfully swore she would not get involved in such events again.

After the battle, Jiang Lianqiu investigated the strange power behind Luciphelis’s attacks and began considering how Psionic Energy could affect people who encountered it. That night, Megumin, Darkness, and Alice each visited him while trapped in other people’s bodies, and Alice asked to sleep beside him.

• Cecily angrily confronted Yuyu for using Aqua’s body, while Megumin lamented missing the chance to experience her Explosion Magic through Alice’s body.
• Jiang Lianqiu returned the soul-summoning Divine Artifact to Eris and asked her and Aqua about the fearsome power they had felt from Luciphelis.
• Jiang Lianqiu recreated the black flames that frightened the goddesses and identified them as high-density Aether Fire with Psionic Energy attributes and a trace of Destruction.
• As Jiang Lianqiu pondered the links between Psionic Energy, Aether, and corrupted energy, Megumin and Darkness sneaked into his room in borrowed bodies and began squabbling over Megumin’s use of Darkness’s body.
• Alice entered in Megumin’s body, cuddled beside Jiang Lianqiu, and asked if she could sleep with him.

Alice asked Jiang Lianqiu to let her spend more time with him, but their awkward night ended when she changed back into Megumin and caught Darkness holding Jiang’s “Holy Sword.” Later, Eris asked Jiang to help Vanir, whose plea had led Wiz to the ruins of the Magic Kingdom, and they traveled there together.

• Alice confessed that she felt lonely in the Royal Palace and wanted to spend more time with Jiang Lianqiu, who gave her a bracelet as a symbol of family.
• Alice crawled beneath the blankets beside Jiang, then transformed back into Megumin and saw Darkness holding Jiang’s “Holy Sword.”
• The next day, Alice distractedly attended her lesson and blurted out a worried remark about marriage, alarming Claire.
• Eris told Jiang that Wiz had prayed for help saving Vanir and warned that the world might be destroyed if nothing was done.
• Jiang and Eris used a Warp Jump to reach the ruins of the Magic Kingdom, where Jiang identified the people nearby as its Remnants.
• Eris spotted an ultra-futuristic base and asked Jiang when it had appeared.
