Message from Machico:

I’ll collaborate with “KONOSUBA: An Explosion on This Wonderful World!” as well! This time, the song is different from the usual “KONOSUBA” style of fast-paced feeling, as if to watch over and guide Megumin and her friends. Sometimes we get lost, but that is also a necessary path for growth.I would be happy if this would become such a song that everyone who has a dream can calm down gently.
