- Stereo: It’s the final countdown! Ta-da da daa Ta-da da da daaa

- Qoo: Not a clue, boss. But it reeks of foul play!
- Sandy South: We need to investigate!
- 7: I don’t know what happened to 5. But you have to ask yourself: Cui bono?
- Sandy South: Cui bono?
- 7: Who benefits.
- Sandy South: Cui bono, Qoo? Who might have an interest in unnecessarily prolonging the countdown?
- Qoo: Hmmmmm…
- Sign: Novil
- Sandy South: You disposed of 5! Because you need more time to prepare the project!
- Novil: Let me refute this baseless allegation!

Something is wrong here… Isn’t Larisa running in a wrong direction? (away from fire not towards it)
Larisa honestly should have been Megumin. I’m trying to think of a better character to be Aqua but I don’t want to offend anyone.
I love the binary joke.
This confirms that even Larisa is afraid of Yuna.
I feel like a outfit of a succubus from Konosuba would suit Larisa even more. If that doesn’t work, Darkness’ outfit would suit her better than Aqua’s outfit, even if it’s just for hair color similarity.
But hey, I was really pleasantly surprised that it made a reference to Konosuba.
Every sane person is afraid of Sparks…(Which is what Yuna clearly is)
And so are a lot of insane ones…
@ Carthienes:
Does that count as a joke though?
Ho! KoNoSuBa! An unexpected, but welcome reference. I hope we get to see that bomb explode in the next strip.
So many tags – and still one missing: larisa
@ Trimutius:
Larisa loves fire, and appreciates explosions, but with Yuna involved that bomb could do anything…

Yuna has black hair and doesn’t have pony tail.
Shouldn’t they be cosplaying the opposite character in the last panel?
Love the Konosuba reference. <3
Pity you were 1 day late to get a double whammy Gunpowder Plot reference / celebration as well!
I’m not especially surprised that Novil likes Konosuba. His characters are similary quirky^^

I feel like there’s some reason why Larisa and Sandra are dressed as eachother’s characters, there’s no way Novil didn’t realize it, so I’m a bit suspicous. But hey, what do I know?
EXPUROHSION!!!
Where did they get… wait that’s a stupid question
Or, to quote Peter Gabriel from his first solo album:
“Waiting for the big one…”
Hey, I just realized that Sandra should be 21 years old now (she was 11 at the beginning, wasn’t she?). Finally old enough to legally get drunk (though not publically) in the US of A, after already having been old enough (for three years) to vote for any random self-righeous choleric bastard to be handed the codes to the second largest nuclear arsenal in the world…
Anyone notice any logical discrepancy?

Not really, there are medical reasons to raising the drinking age to 25, due to disprotional effect it has on brains that are still developing.
Larisa isn’t running away from the bomb out of fear.
She needs to be alone for a while, if you catch my drift.

The effect that nuclear arsenal has doesn’t seem to be small either, but you can only VOTE since 18, not being voted … you need to be 35 for that.
