Time has gone quite fast as this Konosuba VN article series is nearing the end of its run! Personally I am the type who prefer to save the best things for the last and 6th Konosuba Heroine route article is reserved for Megumin who is probably the most popular heroine in Konosuba being the overall MVP. In the first VN, Megumin's route probably made it in the first place by far margin due to the totality of her fanservice. But in the second VN, Kadokawa probably decided to put a brake on Megumin for a bit so that other Heroines get a chance to shine which is probably the better decision. While Megumin might not have the best overall route this time, the Fanservice is still very good enoug, befitting her position in Konosuba.
The last of the 3 Main Heroines to be featured in Konosuba: Love for these Clothes of Desire series, Megumin is a powerful ArchWizard specializing in Explosion Spell hailing from the eccentric Crimson Demon Clan. Considering none of the Kazuma's party is any normal adventurer, Megumin's quirk is being a Chuuni who can behave outlandishly at times but still able to rein her vice compared to Darkness or Aqua. In the 2nd VN, Megumin has already obtained Chomusuke, her Demonic Cat pet debuted in 2nd Season which proceeds to bully the hell out of Aqua when any opportunity presents itself
In this Dress up Darling, Megumin have rather mild choice for the clothing selections compared to other Heroines but her outfits tends to play out on her Lolita quality much to her displeasure. I think Megumin is quite pissed with Kazuma during her Swimsuit scene as hers look rather childish in comparison with other Heroines. The 2nd VN really push the Loliko button with Megumin much to discomfort. Nevertheless some of the event that Megumin had to behave like Tsundere little sister is quite amusing to behold.
Being one of the main heroine, Megumin got one of the costume during the main storyline as Kazuma's party attempt to lure in the perpetrator of Magical tablet theft incident. In the end Megumin got really cute frilly dress that makes Megumin embrace her petite quality openly and even confidently make proclamation in Accel city for people to support Lolita supremacy movement which ended up Megumin being heavily embarassed once the magical effect of the dress had worn off.
While Megumin is not the main star in the 2nd VN, this game still acknowledge Megumin's status as the main heroine. In one of the random event, Megumin and Kazuma reminisce about her ending in the 1st VN which Megumin is found herself wearing Wedding Dress after she and Kazuma got locked in an old Church. Long story short Megumin is still flustered about the moment but she consider that moment to be precious for her. This particular random event concluded with Megumin saying to Kazuma that She would like to cast Explosion during her wedding which is a big Flag raise. Perhaps we will have the Konosuba Heroine ship allowed to progress even further once the series reach its conclusion on anime series.
Of all Heroine route in Konosuba 2nd VN, Megumin's route is probably one of the silliest one and Aqua just being an troublemaker for other Heroine yet again. Basically after the Magical Tablet incident got resolved, Megumin found that Chomusuke have been missing and thus gets really distressed. She basically drag Kazuma all around the place doing crazy things to look for Chomusuke thinking that it is her fault that Chomusuke run away. Being desperate, Megumin requested Kazuma to use the last power of the Magic Tablet to create some cloth that can attract Chomusuke. Thus Megumin's Route special cloth is a Cat costume based on Nekomata design and Kazuma being Hikineet make Megumin doing embarassing stuff like mimicking Cat sound and make her walk out in this getup. Before things escalating any further, Yunyun paid a visit and had Chomusuke with her. Turns out Aqua turns in Chomusuke to Yunyun's custody after getting bullied by the cat. Aqua probably tried to hush Yunyun up to her failure and the story ends with Aqua getting what she deserved.
One thing to note, Megumin being the most popular Heroine got special treatment for her outfit even surpassing Chris as she is the only one who got dedicated Sprite having her wearing the Cat costume whereas other Heroines only have CG.
Being the main Heroine, Megumin got Normal and Good ending just like Darkness and Aqua. Megumin's Normal Ending is rather mild one. Basically Megumin grooms Chomusuke saying nice things toward her pet after getting worried so much. Then Megumin even mimicking a cat sound but soon got flustered after Kazuma barging in and the ending scene concluded with Megumin bantering with Kazuma.
In Megumin's Good ending, we got the fanservice ending just like Darkness. So Kazuma encountered Megumin in bath towel giving Chomusuke a bath much to the latter embarassment. However Megumin's embarassment soon changes into anger after Kazuma retort that Megumin's petite body doesn't interest him which is a bad choice to de-escalate the situation as Megumin being sensitive of her Loli status then dared Kazuma to remove her bath towel. And just like Darkness route, Kazuma's got into even more dire situation as Aqua and Darkness returns and witness the scene mistaking Kazuma trying to assault Megumin. Trying to stop Megumin's daring behavior, Kazuma praising Megumin in his way which Megumin actually likes it but at the cost of his dignity which concluded with Aqua commenting him as Loli-Neet.
While Megumin's treatment in Konosuba 2nd VN is overall solid, her fanservice is implied to be intentionally somewhat gimped so that other Heroines like Darkness, Wiz and Yunyun got opportunity to shine and they really did. Megumin's standing in this VN is in the absolute mid, the Fanservice maybe not as good as Darkness but at least still better than Aqua who got lackluster maid final costume. With Megumin's article done, only Yunyun's left and trust me there is a reason why I reserve her route to be the last. Lastly here are the rest of Megumin's CG
