Long before she meets Kazuma, a young Megumin accidentally unleashes a monster that attacks her, but she is saved by a mysterious and powerful mage who uses explosion magic to destroy the monster. Inspired, Megumin asks the mage to teach her how to cast explosion magic, but the mage refuses, cautioning her that explosion magic comes with many downsides. Megumin returns home, and is able to enroll in the Red Prison magic academy thanks to her parents making an important sale. At the academy, she meets Yunyun who declares that she will be Megumin's rival, and they soon form a grudging friendship with each other. Megumin then learns during her studies that explosion magic is not taken seriously by the Crimson Demon clan, as it is highly impractical and rarely cast. Regardless, Megumin decides to learn how to cast explosion magic, no matter what. | ||||||

Upon returning home from school one day, Megumin discovers that her younger sister Komekko managed to capture a creature resembling a black cat. Fearing Komekko might try to eat the cat, Megumin adopts it and takes it to school with her, which immediately grabs the attention of her classmates. She is then able to convince the teacher that the cat is her familiar, and is allowed to bring it to class. Later, the teacher then informs the students that he will be taking them to an "augmentation surge", which involves the students killing forest creatures the teacher had frozen for them. The students are then attacked by a gargoyle and are saved by the unexpected assistance of Bukkorori, another Crimson Demon who has a crush on Soketto, the village's most attractive woman. Disgusted by Bukkorori's obsessive stalking of Soketta, the students leave him trapped in a pit and are horrified to see the village being attacked by a horde of gargoyles. The adults of the village band together and use their advanced magic to destroy the gargoyles, but Megumin is unimpressed since their spells pale in comparison to explosion magic. The gargoyles are defeated, but the adults accidentally destroy the village in the process and have to spend the whole night rebuilding it. The next day, since the cat still doesn't have a name, the other students start calling it "Megumin", much to Megumin's annoyance. | ||||||

Finally fed up with everybody calling the cat Megumin, Megumin follows Yunyun's suggestion and gives it the name "Ink". With the adults out to deal with a mysterious surge in monster activity, the students are left to do free study in the library. Bukkorori teleports into the library, having finally escaped from the pit trap and enlists Megumin and Yunyun's aid in helping him get closer to Soketto. Megumin comes up with the idea of her and Yunyun ambushing Soketto in the forest, with Bukkorori coming to her rescue. However, Bukkorori botches the plan when he is caught by Soketto. A large pack of One-Punch Bears then attacks, and Bukkorori uses an Inferno spell to destroy them, but accidentally hits Soketto with the spell as well. Soketto agrees to perform a fortune reading for Bukkorori, but when he asks who his future lover will be, the fortune reading turns up nothing. Heartbroken, Bukkorori flees, but Megumin and Yunyun do pick up that Soketto doesn't necessarily hate Bukkorori. Back at school, Megumin and Yunyun briefly talk about the possibility of Megumin finding a romantic partner before walking home together. | ||||||

Megumin manages to be the top scorer in the latest round of tests, earning her a skill point potion. However, she notices Yunyun not acting like her normal self. Later, Yunyun confides in Megumin that one of their classmates, Funifura, has a younger brother who is ill and she has been asking to borrow money from Yunyun to buy medicine. Megumin realizes that Funifura is taking advantage of Yunyun's desperation for friendship to pressure her. Instead, Megumin crafts a healing potion and gives it to Funifura in return for Yunyun's money. Funifura then teases Megumin about how she seems to go out of her way to protect Yunyun even though she claims they aren't friends. Later, Yunyun reveals to Megumin that she's deliberately been holding back in her tests so that she and Megumin can graduate together, which angers Megumin. They then get into a fight after Yunyun insults explosion magic, which Yunyun manages to win. Megumin tells Yunyun how she was inspired by the mage that saved her, and once she graduates she will go on a journey to track her down. Yunyun offers to be Megumin's traveling companion.

It's during one of her visits that she found Ink and took her home. In the present, Megumin searches her house but doesn't find Komekko. Monsters then attack and kidnap Ink, only for Komekko to confront them to try and take Ink back. Megumin considers using her skill points to learn magic to fight the monsters, but hesitates as that would mean delaying her plans to learn explosion magic. Seeing Megumin's dilemma, Yunyun takes it upon herself to use her skill points to learn intermediate magic and fight the monsters, rescuing Ink. However, she uses up most of her energy in the process and collapses. At that moment the horde of monsters begins to head towards them, and Megumin realizes that Ink is actually the Dark God they are looking for. She also realizes she has gathered enough skill points to learn explosion magic, which she uses to destroy the entire monster horde. Afterwards, since they have both learned magic, Megumin and Yunyun graduate early. Megumin decides to officially make Ink her familiar and renames her Chomusuke. | ||||||

One night, Megumin is approached by a demon woman named Arnes who is looking for Chomusuke, whose true identity is the Dark God Wolbach. Megumin agrees to sell Chomusuke for 300,000 eris, but Chomusuke refuses to be taken away from Megumin. Yunyun then arrives and Arnes explains she has run into a bout of bad fortune, not knowing it is being caused by a bracelet she bought from Megumin's parents. The bracelet's energy attracts the attention of the villagers, who chase off Arnes thinking she is the cause of the explosions. Megumin decides to use the money she earned to leave the village and puts Chomusuke in Yunyun's care.

While wandering the city, Megumin sees a nun apparently being harassed by a pair of priests and intervenes, only to inadvertently be caught in a dispute between Axis and Eris worshippers. The nun, Cecily, calls the police as a distraction and leads Megumin away before trying to recruit her into the Axis Church. Seeing that Megumin is starving, Cecily takes Megumin to the Axis Church where she meets the archbishop Father Zesta. In return for Zesta providing food and board, as well as giving her a lead on a beautiful female mage who knows explosion magic living in the town of Axel, Megumin agrees to assist the Axis Church on their recruiting efforts. To her surprise, she encounters Yunyun and Chomusuke, who had both followed her to Arcanretia. Father Zesta is then arrested by the authorities on suspicion of tampering with the city's water springs, and Yunyun admits she delivered a prophecy from Soketta warning that Arcanretia would be in danger. | ||||||

Arnes then arrives to take Chomusuke, but Zesta, Cecily, and the rest of the Axis Church go into a religious frenzy when they realize she is a demon girl and chase her out of city, believing she is the culprit sabotaging the hot springs. Zesta then gifts Megumin with enough money to pay for a coach trip to Axel, and offers to have her stay the night. Cecily reveals to Megumin that Father Zesta had accidentally mixed jelly slime powder in the hot springs instead of baking powder, which was how he passed the lie detector test. Upon seeing how small the Axis Church's hot springs are, Megumin uses her explosion magic to create a much larger pool. The next day, Father Zesta casts a blessing on Megumin and she bids farewell to him and Cecily before leaving for Axel with Yunyun. | ||||||

Eventually, though, Yunyun becomes exhausted from using up all of her magical energy. At night, Yunyun expresses her desire to be in the same party as Megumin, but Megumin rejects the idea since the other adventurers believe Yunyun is the superior mage. The next day, Arnes attacks the caravan, revealing she sent the monsters to tire out Yunyun. She manages to take Chomusuke and begins powering up a spell to destroy Megumin and caravan after she realizes it was Megumin's father who sold her a cursed bracelet. She is interrupted by a pillar of divine light that suddenly appears over Axel, giving Chomusuke the opportunity to slip out of her grasp and Megumin takes the opportunity to kill Arnes with an explosion spell. With Megumin hailed as a hero, the caravan continues on towards Axel. | ||||||

Megumin and Yunyun arrive in Axel shortly after Kazuma and Aqua do. Megumin makes her way to the Adventurer's Guild and flaunts her status as a highly ranked wizard from the Crimson Demon clan. However, despite Megumin receiving many offers from other parties, they quickly reject her when they realize she can only cast explosion magic, which is too situational. Meanwhile, Yunyun is too shy to be able to attract any attention from parties. During Megumin's attempts to find a party, she has numerous passing encounters with Kazuma, Aqua, and Darkness. She also learns the mage that matches her master's description works as a shopkeeper in the town, but she doesn't feel she is ready to see her until she becomes a proper adventurer. With several days passing with neither of them being able to secure any adventurer work and the both of them nearly broke, Megumin and Yunyun reluctantly agree to form a temporary party together to earn money. | ||||||

Hearing of a blue haired arch priest that may be powerful enough to fight Host, the male adventurers begin combing the town looking for her. Megumin returns to the inn to find Cecily waiting for her, explaining she was sent to Axel after Zesta had a vision of Aqua appearing there. Megumin reluctantly agrees to help Cecily in return for a large bounty, but have little luck. Megumin and Yunyun then join a party looking to trap Host, but are ambushed by the demon.

Megumin and Yunyun retreat back to Axel, wondering how they can defeat Host. | ||||||

Not intending to hand Chomusuke over, Megumin comes up with a plan to use a stuffed cat toy to lure Host into a trap so she can use her explosion magic on him. During the night though, Yunyun sneaks into Megumin's room and steals the cat toy. Believing Megumin is still asleep, Yunyun admits that she's grown to respect Megumin and her choice to learn explosion magic, but she knows that Megumin's plan won't work. Instead, she has recruited a party to help fight Host, and she casts a sleep spell on Megumin to prevent her from interfering. Megumin wakes up the next day and chases after Yunyun, receiving a blessing from Cecily on the way. Meanwhile, Host neutralizes most of Yunyun's party, but she is able to cast a paralyze spell on Host but accidentally paralyzes herself as well. Megumin then arrives and casts her explosion on Host, destroying him. Afterwards, Cecily leaves on a journey to gain enough levels so she can eventually take over Axel's local church. Yunyun, realizing she won't be able to improve herself by relying Megumin, also leaves on her own journey to learn advanced magic and briefly crosses paths with Megumin's master. Despite Megumin defeating Host, adventurer parties still avoid her. With little other choice, Megumin answers a party recruitment ad and meets Kazuma and Aqua for the first time. | ||||||
