I have read the KonoSuba Light Novel upto Volume.8 and also the Explosions aka
Bakuen spinoff. In the start of the spinoff the writer mentions about a woman
who used explosion in front of Megumin. After that she practically fell in
love with Explosion magic and eventually learnt Explosion. Does the main
series or any of the spinoff tell about this anonymous woman. If so, tell me
where?

question
konosuba
Who taught Megumin Explosion magic? Is she mentioned anywhere in the LN?


Volume 9 of the light novel ( _Kurenai no Shukumei_ , or "The Crimson Fate")
covers this backstory. We learn that the person who taught Megumin explosion
magic is the evil goddess of Sloth and Violence, Wolbach, who also happens to
be a general of the Demon King's army.

> Karutetto_ , or "You Good-for-Nothing Quartet"). When Kazuma goes to a mixed

Wolbach does not reappear in the series in any significant manner after Volume
9, although at the end of Volume 9:
